Chapter 326 Dowry
Time flies, and now it has been 67 years.
In Siheyuan, He Yuzhu has been single again since Lou Xiaoe took her children away to Hong Kong. At first, she was often laughed at by everyone.
However, when He Yushui got married, He Yuzhu had a lot of dowry items, big and small. Things like three turns and one ring, which were supposed to be prepared by the man's family.
However, at the moment, He Yushui's girlfriend only had a Phoenix 28 in her home, and that was the only one. The other two cars were nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, He Yuzhu is in the city of Sijiu, and he only has this one sister left. I still have the ability now, and I will give you everything I can.
Therefore, before his sister He Yushui got married, He Yuzhu looked for all the people he could find. They were all the people who asked him to cook at home after Lou Xiaoe left.
In fact, He Yuzhu was unwilling to go to those who did not lend a helping hand to him when he was in trouble, and even wanted to have some crooked thoughts when cooking. Why not - eat my saliva!
However, as a chef with professional ethics and a family tradition of at least two generations, doing this once or twice is fine, but if someone finds out, he will never be able to stay in the chef circle in the city.
A man without integrity cannot stand. Once this reputation collapses, there will be no chance to make a comeback. At least at this time, when the population is not very mobile, it is like this. If you are not careful, you will be messed up. At least, the families who cook for you are not people you can afford to offend at this moment.
However, He Yuzhu went there this time to get benefits, such as three-turn and one-ring tickets, cloth tickets, malted milk, and sugar tickets. He was not lenient at all and arranged all for his sister.
A few days before He Yushui got married, He Yuzhu cashed in these bills. He Yuzhu even got a TV ticket from someone unknown. Of course, it was only in black and white. However, this was already an unexpected surprise.
However, this also confirmed He Yuzhu's nickname "Shazhu" in the courtyard. The things that He Yuzhu brought back home in the past few days were worth at least four figures. No one except He Yuzhu knew how much these things were worth. Among them, the 14-inch black and white TV accounted for the largest part, worth more than 500 yuan.
Who would have thought that with this price, ten years later, you could buy a larger color TV? Of course, the current house prices are the same, and those who understand will understand.
However, things are valuable because they are scarce. Although the mainland can produce televisions and even color TVs, they are still far from being popular.
Ordinary people, even if they have money and tickets, may not be able to buy things. He Yuzhu's 14-inch black-and-white TV was also reserved by someone long ago, but recently someone got a Changhong color TV ticket from someone unknown, so he gave it to He Yuzhu.
Otherwise, even if He Yuzhu got the TV ticket, he wouldn't be able to buy anything.
However, this also made the beasts in the courtyard re-evaluate He Yuzhu. House, a three-room private house in the middle courtyard; job, deputy director of the canteen of the steel mill, although it is still a work-for-work job, forget about becoming a regular employee. But now, a month's salary plus subsidies, how can it be said, it is almost three figures. Adding so many years of work experience, it is estimated that it is not more than 100.
You know, He Yuzhu entered the kitchen of the steel mill at the age of 16, and became a regular employee two years later, at the age of 18. He Yuzhu is in his early 30s this year, and has at least 12 years of work experience, which is a lot.
If you think about it carefully, he is now a golden bachelor. It's funny. When He Yuzhu's wife Lou Xiao'e ran away, I laughed at him. Now I am still calling him "Shazhu" all the time.
It turns out that the clown is actually myself. At this moment, I have to support a family with a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan (the median salary level in a courtyard house). Isn't this a complete clown?
The dowry given to He Yuzhu is only one year's salary. It's ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous that I can't see the situation clearly. Of course, most of the people who can see this are the residents in the courtyard.
In this way, He Yuzhu married his sister off in a grand ceremony. He Yushui's wedding was famous not only in the Siheyuan, but also in the entire Nanluoguxiang area.
Although it is forbidden to hold grand celebrations at this time, weddings and funerals are kept as low-key as possible and as simple as possible. However, in the past few days, He Yuzhu has been buying things in his house. If you know that he is buying dowry for his sister, you might think he is getting married again.
In this way, He Yuzhu married his daughter off in a grand manner.
Liu Pingan was also filled with emotion when he saw this. He also had a daughter in this world, although she was still young. But she would eventually get married. He just didn't know which bastard would get her.
At this moment, He Yuzhu had no idea that he had become a hot commodity in the courtyard.
Many people were looking at how he was related to He Yuzhu. Especially Qin Huairu, who was now counting He Yuzhu's assets with Jia Zhangshi.
"Huai Ru, are the things you just said true? He Yuzhu's salary is more than 100 yuan per month now? It's higher than that of an old man?"
"Oh my god, my uncle is an eighth-level worker in the steel mill and has learned skills all his life. I watched this bastard He Yuzhu grow up, but I didn't expect that he would be here now. If my Dongxu hadn't left, now..."
"Qin Huairu, you bitch. Tell me, are you thinking about love again? Dongxu has only been gone for a few years, his body is still warm, and you are thinking about a man? I tell you, as long as I am alive, don't even think about remarrying. In life, you are a member of my Jia family, and in death, you are the ghost of my son Dongxu."
Jia Zhang turned around and warned Qin Huairu. To be honest, she was really afraid that Qin Huairu would just pat her butt and remarry. Qin Huairu was only thirty-two or thirty-three years old at the moment. Although she had already given birth to three children, her figure and appearance made her very capable even in the city.
During the years that Qin Huairu had been in the factory, those old bachelors had been chasing after her like lickers. However, when Qin Huairu was at work, she was just an assistant to Yi Zhonghai, and few dared to do anything to her.
Although Yi Zhonghai's reputation has become a bad one, the status of an eighth-level worker still has some value in this workshop. Every year, there are still many newcomers who want to become Yi Zhonghai's apprentices.
Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai stopped accepting apprentices after the death of his last disciple Jia Dongxu. He only symbolically taught the apprentices assigned by the factory, and after they were hired as regular employees, they went their separate ways.
However, during the lunch break, especially in the cafeteria, there were people who helped Qin Huairu pay for her meals. However, they were all bachelors, old men, or widows, who were not afraid of being embarrassed.
They all have jobs in the steel mill, but they still can't find a wife. You can imagine what kind of person the other side is? Qin Huairu naturally doesn't like it. However, at this moment, Qin Huairu also put down her face. This advantage should be taken.
As time went by, these people saw that they could not get any benefit from Qin Huairu, so the number of people around her gradually decreased. However, there were always a few who refused to give up, and they had been pestering Qin Huairu since she replaced Jia Dongxu's workstation.
For example, their workshop leader, Guo Dapiezi, dared to ignore Yi Zhonghai. Qin Huairu was not experienced enough at the beginning, and suffered a lot at the hands of this guy. Although there was a piece of clothing between them, she was still taken advantage of a lot.
"Mom, why are you talking about this again? I went to the hospital as you requested..."
Before Qin Huairu finished her words, she was interrupted by Jia Zhang. "It's broad daylight now, and there are many people in the yard. You are so loud that others can hear you. You are shameless. My eldest grandson Banggeng will have to marry in the future."
You say, you are a widow, why do you need an IUD? Nowadays, only people who are in that kind of business will do this operation. Of course, when childbirth was banned in the future, many people were forced to go to the hospital to do this.
It is said that the person in charge of this plan has now moved to Cui Sheng Office. Liu Pingan feels that this major is very suitable for oral English. After all, education should start from childhood. The current group of young people who do not want to have children learned about this policy when they were young, which was all taught by him. It is still up to him to turn it around, and the major is suitable.
"Mom, Silly Zhu, no, isn't He Yuzhu still single now?"
"Well, my wife ran away a long time ago. She deserves it. You can't marry the daughter of a capitalist. We, the working class, own the world now."
"It's a pity that the Lou family let them escape. They should have been arrested and put into the cowshed." When answering Qin Huairu's question, Jia Zhang did not forget to complain about He Yuzhu.
There was nothing I could do. Although he was alone, he lived a much better life than my family. No, he lived a better life than 999% of the residents in this courtyard.
As for the remaining 1%, it was naturally Liu Pingan. However, in recent years, Liu Pingan rarely came to the Siheyuan. Even in the steel mill, he was quite low-key.
At this moment, Liu Ping'an's only legal source of income is his monthly salary. Of course, there is also the procurement channel of the third purchasing department of the steel mill. During the weekly inventory, if there is anything missing, Liu Ping'an will take out some from his own space to make up for it, and count it on the people who didn't receive anything.
