Chapter 54 53 has passed
A year has passed quickly, and it will soon be 54 years.
He Yuzhu secretly visited Wangjiazhuang Commune twice during his days off to meet his future wife. Liu Yulan was naturally very happy to see He Yuzhu.
Every time I visited, I would bring some pastries, milk candy, and pork for the Liu family.
Liu Dazhi and Wang Cuilan now treat He Yuzhu as their son-in-law.
Besides not allowing them to consummate their marriage immediately, they are also allowed to whisper sweet nothings to each other in the room for a while.
He Yuzhu was an experienced player, and he quickly took the girl to second base.
Liu Yulan had long considered herself a daughter-in-law of the He family, so naturally she wouldn't refuse He Yuzhu.
They only held onto their last line of defense.
Liu Yulan felt that she would be a member of the He family sooner or later, and she couldn't bear to refuse the man's requests.
This was her everything, her support. It was just learning new knowledge, wasn't it? Liu Yulan was also a very diligent and good student.
Does anyone in the family understand this?
Seeing how sensible his wife was, He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't mistreat her.
He will definitely give the benefits he deserves; he needs to plan for the future, and he won't be stingy now.
Regardless of the rest of the Liu family, at least his wife now has two new outfits and a new pair of leather shoes.
Of course, He Yuzhu also gave the Liu family five zhang of cloth.
Five feet of cloth could barely make five sets of clothes, which was a token of He Yuzhu's goodwill. Having given away quite a few things, he naturally received the Liu family's gratitude; his brother-in-law would always call him "brother-in-law" with great enthusiasm whenever he saw him.
He also knew that he would have to rely on his brother-in-law to arrange a job for him in the future. If it weren't for He Yuzhu, he would most likely have stayed in the village like his father.
The child isn't a little kid anymore; Liu Dawei will be thirteen after the New Year. He's definitely sensible and knows how good it would be to be a worker in the city.
At least now, his attitude towards Liu Yuchun's man is clearly different from his attitude towards He Yuzhu. That's human nature; whoever has more power has a different status at home.
On one occasion, He Yuzhu even saw Liu Yuchun, who had gotten married and was now pregnant.
However, judging from his expression, he probably won't be very happy in his married life.
After all, it's a village, and even when pregnant, people have to keep working, so their skin doesn't look very good.
Liu Yuchun noticed the resentful look in He Yuzhu's eyes; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was a heartless man.
Liu Yuchun's man also seemed to dislike He Yuzhu, as the other party appeared to already know about the affair between He Yuzhu and Liu Yuchun.
Logically speaking, He Yuzhu and Liu Yuchun were innocent; it was all Liu Yuchun's overthinking. The problem was that, driven by male jealousy, he naturally disliked He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu also has a temper. If you don't want to get close to me, I won't bother with you either. I don't want to have to ask you for help in the future, so the two of them drifted apart.
Liu Dazhi and Wang Cuilan are definitely biased towards He Yuzhu, which makes their eldest son-in-law somewhat uncomfortable.
Later, the eldest son-in-law only visited the Liu family once a year during the Spring Festival, and never came to the Liu family otherwise. This made the Liu family even more resentful of him, and Liu Yuchun was caught in the middle, not pleasing anyone.
Liu Yulan kept a close eye on He Yuzhu and her elder sister's meeting, fearing something might happen between them.
Even though her eldest sister was married and had children, she was still afraid of what her sister might do. This also proves that Liu Yulan values He Yuzhu highly and places her in a prominent position.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Yuzhu decisively had his wife study her future lessons in her bedroom in advance.
Liu Yulan would rinse her mouth many times afterward, while He Yuzhu would sit there smoking with a satisfied air.
Liu Yulan was so angry that she would always slap the bad guy a few times, but each slap was about the same force as a massage.
The young couple cherished their time together, as He Yuzhu often worked overtime and it wasn't easy for him to come all the way.
On their days off, He Yuzhu now takes Liu Lan, Guo Wei, and Lu Yi out to host banquets to earn extra money.
When Liu Yulan occasionally visits Wangjiazhuang, she naturally wants to spend some time intimate with the men. Since they're all engaged, the others won't be so oblivious.
As long as they weren't pregnant out of wedlock, nobody cared. Everyone in the village would fawn over He Yuzhu when they saw him.
He Yuzhu would always give away a few packs of cigarettes and some fruit candy to the children. This earned He Yuzhu an excellent reputation in the village; everyone praised the Liu family for their good fortune.
Another year has passed, and the steel rolling mill will be closed on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month and will resume work on the fourth day of the first lunar month.
He Yuzhu and his men cleaned every corner of the guesthouse until it was spotless before closing all the doors and windows.
Then he wished everyone a Happy New Year in advance and sent them home.
Speaking of the past six months, the guesthouse hasn't changed much.
Domestic violence frequently occurred in Liu Lan's home. On several occasions when Liu Lan came to work, her face was covered in bruises.
Several women at the guesthouse spoke with Liu Lan privately and learned that her disabled husband had started drinking heavily and abusing people.
The women naturally launched into a tirade against the man, while Liu Lan could only cry, unable to resolve the situation. She couldn't very well divorce him; doing so at this point would be a major scandal.
He Yuzhu couldn't interfere in this matter, as it was a family affair, unless Liu Lan reported it to the police.
However, she originally came to the steel rolling mill as a substitute worker, so there are many things that outsiders really shouldn't interfere with.
He Yuzhu still takes Liu Lan, Guo Wei, and Lu Yi out to host banquets every week on his days off.
Basically, I earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month in extra income, and I also slowly sell a lot of the vegetables and meat in the space.
Some people didn't need their food supplies, and He Yuzhu didn't force them. If someone wanted them, he would take the opportunity to sell some; if no one wanted them, he would sell them to the steel rolling mill.
If you add fruits and wheat flour, your annual income could exceed 50 million in the next few years.
That's equivalent to twenty-five small yellow croakers, and that doesn't even include He Yuzhu's salary.
A salary of 800,000 remains largely unchanged, which adds up to nearly 10 million over twelve months a year, or another five small yellow croakers.
With the addition of the space's output, He Yuzhu felt very satisfied with harvesting thirty small yellow croakers a year.
"Master He, are we hosting a banquet for the Chinese New Year? We've been getting a lot of inquiries."
Before leaving, Liu Lan pulled He Yuzhu aside to ask about her plans for the Chinese New Year.
"Do it, why not do it? It's just lunch."
"Okay, I understand."
Liu Lan, Guo Wei, and Lu Yi were all very happy to hear that He Yuzhu had agreed to host a banquet for the Chinese New Year.
With each earnings of ten or twenty thousand yuan, several people would definitely be interested.
Now, thanks to these profits, they earn an extra 100,000 yuan or so each month.
He Yuzhu felt that he didn't have much to do during the New Year; to be precise, no one had much to do right now.
From the 25th to the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, He Yuzhu went out once a day, earning anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.
He Yushui is on vacation. Besides doing her homework every day, she plays with Li Xiaoman and Xu Xiaoling.
Zhang Panpan used to be a part of their group, but Zhang Xiaoquan distanced himself from them. Now, He Yushui and the others don't play with Zhang Panpan anymore.
Zhang Panpan must have been very sad, but she didn't have much status at home. She could only watch enviously as He Yushui, Li Xiaoman, and Xu Xiaoling played happily there.
Xu Fugui has already planned to move out after the New Year, and Xu Xiaoling will have to live with her parents in other places afterward.
He Yushui said goodbye to Xu Xiaoling with great sadness.
In the courtyard, several young girls gradually began to experience the troubles of growing up.
He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu did not act intimately in the courtyard, but He Yushui and Qin Huairu actually became closer.
After all, He Yushui was in the courtyard every day, so it was inevitable that she would run into Qin Huairu.
In addition, He Yushui sometimes has to wash large items like bed sheets and duvet covers, which she can't do herself.
Qin Huairu would then offer her help, and He Yushui was initially too embarrassed to refuse. Later, after realizing that her older brother hadn't stopped her from interacting with Qin Huairu, she just let things take their course.
He Yuzhu did not allow He Yushui to avoid housework; she did all the household chores she was supposed to do.
After all, compared to other girls, He Yushui is fortunate enough.
All the girls in the courtyard who have younger brothers and sisters at home come back to do a lot of chores.
There are only two people in their family. He Yushui only needs to clean the house, wash clothes, and do bedding.
He Yuzhu himself often does housework, but he does it casually.
He Yushui was required to do a mandatory task; He Yuzhu demanded that He Yushui wash all the clothes in the house every three days.
Bed sheets and duvet covers should be changed every seven days.
He Yuzhu gave his own clothes, except for his coat, to He Yushui to wash.
In fact, He Yuzhu often washes his own clothes in the washing machine in his space.
In addition, Qin Huairu would also wash his clothes in the courtyard, so He Yushui mostly washed his own clothes.
This habit is so that He Yushui won't feel a sense of loss after she gets married in the future.
There's no way around it; that's how it is for ordinary families these days. Even for officials, their wives have to do chores, unless they're high-ranking cadres who have personal orderly service.
He Yuzhu will definitely push He Yushui to become a cadre, but he can't possibly take his sister's place and do chores at her husband's family home.
Since that's the case, let's raise He Yushui well from a young age. Let her have independent thinking and be able to adapt to married life in this era.
He Yushui didn't think her older brother was doing anything wrong; she had classmates and neighbor girls around her.
She knew very well how good her older brother was to her.
Since her father left, her family has never stopped providing her with nutrition.
We eat meat every three to five days, and occasionally have fruit, pastries, and milk candy.
By now, He Yushui has saved nearly two million yuan, from her father's money, her older brother's money, and she herself often buys a meal outside.
Anyway, He Yushui took good care of herself for lunch.
He Yuzhu would prepare breakfast, and he would occasionally come back to cook dinner, while other times He Yushui would cook it herself.
He Yuzhu taught He Yushui how to cook step by step. Apart from not giving her the secret recipe, her cooking was better than that of ordinary people.
The deaf old lady; Yi Zhonghai has been very high-profile in the past six months.
Although the deaf old lady no longer has the title of ancestor, she has the fact of being an ancestor.
No one in the courtyard dared to offend the deaf old lady. Whenever she cooked something delicious and came over, no one dared to refuse her.
Especially recently, after the neighborhood committee suddenly removed Xu Fugui from his position as the head of the neighborhood committee and appointed Yi Zhonghai as the new head of the neighborhood committee, everyone became even more afraid of the deaf old lady.
