Chapter 224 "He Yuzhu" 28
The courtyard house has changed a lot now. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the courtyard house from 58.
After Yi Zhonghai adopted the child, he recognized the deaf old lady as his "godmother," holding a banquet and kowtowing ceremony in the courtyard. After that, Yi Zhonghai took care of the deaf old lady until her death. After the old lady passed away, her house and money were left to Yi Zhonghai. All of this was witnessed by the people in the courtyard.
Since having a child, Li Cuilan has been in a better mood and her health has improved. Her heart disease was probably caused by years of depression, and it shouldn't be congenital.
Since Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu had their conversation, and Jia Dongxu is now a fourth-level worker, although there is still Jia Zhangshi in the family who has a rural household registration and is not eligible for a quota, they are doing quite well and can save some money every month.
Although Jia Zhangshi was still greedy and unreasonable, Yi Zhonghai wasn't siding with her now, and the He family was still in the courtyard, so she didn't dare to go too far. Banggeng had picked up many bad habits from his grandmother, but apart from being protected by her at home, he would be disciplined by the other children in the courtyard if he dared to make a mistake outside the house.
Especially He Xiang, I don't know who this child took after. He doesn't talk much usually, but when it comes to reasoning, he has a whole set of principles. Especially after he learned more characters and could read books on his own, he would quote classics all the time and keep arguing until you admitted your mistake.
Bang Geng's apologies were mostly not due to physical punishment. After all, they had grown up together, and the adults had given instructions on how hard they could hit him. Most of the time, he was persuaded by He Xiang. He had no choice but to submit. He Xiang could follow him to his house and nag him, and even his grandmother couldn't persuade him.
Strangely enough, most of the children in the courtyard were afraid of Jia Zhangshi, but He Xiang was not. If Jia Zhangshi spoke up for Bang Geng, he would also criticize Jia Zhangshi. She was very fair. If you felt that he was wrong about something, you could bring it up. The more you debate, the clearer things become!
The problem was that the Jia family grandmother and grandson were in the wrong. By the end, Jia Zhangshi's angry roar could be heard: "He family, take your He Xiang back right now! Can't people even eat?"
He Yuzhu once asked He Xiang, "Aren't you afraid your Grandma Jia will hit you? She doesn't care if you're a child or not." He Xiang laughed and said, "She wouldn't dare hit me. She's afraid of my grandpa. Besides, if she really hit me, I'll run away. She definitely can't outrun me." You have to admit, some kids are really clever from a young age!
With this group of children influencing him, Bang Geng didn't go too far astray. Jia Dang was also born this year, and he's only a few months old.
Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, was admitted to a vocational school specializing in mechanical engineering by virtue of his excellent grades. This year, he was assigned to work in the technical department of a steel rolling mill as a technician. No matter what happens in the future, even if the starting point is the end point, it will be enough to support him for most of his life. Moreover, as long as he finishes his internship and becomes a full-time employee, he will be allocated housing.
Yan Jiefang, the second son of the Yan family, didn't get into a vocational school, but with his older brother's tutoring, he got into high school and is now a sophomore. He privately inquired with He Yuzhu about joining the army, probably because he wants to enlist. In this day and age, joining the army is a viable career path, and after discharge, you can basically get a job. Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi are still young and in elementary school.
In the backyard, at Liu Haizhong's house, the eldest son, Liu Guangqi, also graduated from vocational school this year and was assigned a job. Once, Liu Haizhong beat Liu Guangtian very badly, so He Yuzhu gave him a lecture on the law. As a result, Liu Haizhong stopped beating his children unless absolutely necessary, and even when he did, it wasn't as severe.
Therefore, none of the Liu family's children have any intention of leaving home. Liu Guangfu was too young to handle "Seven Wolves" before his father "reformed," and the child has no childhood trauma whatsoever.
Xu Damao had just turned twenty last year when his father found him a wife. His wife, Wang Xiaohua, had a father and three older brothers who all worked at a meat processing plant. Wang Xiaohua had never been short of food since she was a child, so she was slightly chubby, which was not easy to find in those days. It was called a "lucky face." However, Wang Xiaohua was not ugly either. If she were really ugly, Xu Damao would not have been with her.
The Xu family was drawn to her figure, hoping it would bring good fortune to Xu Damao. Since she entered the family, the family has gotten along very well. Xu Damao is also good at sweet-talking, and Wang Xiaohua's personality is still the same as before they got married. Now, his wife is five months pregnant, the family's precious baby. They're just waiting for the baby to be born. If it's a son, Xu Fugui and Xu Damao will have to switch jobs.
Wang Dahe is now a level 6 fitter. Li Lingling gave birth to Wang Dahe's eldest son, Wang Yang, in the second year after she married into the factory. Last year, she gave birth to her second son, Wang Chen. When Wang Dahe was promoted to level 5 fitter, he applied to the factory for a replacement house because of his son. According to the factory's welfare policy, level 5 fitters are entitled to two rooms.
At that time, there were no more two adjacent rooms in courtyard No. 95. The factory's logistics personnel said that they could either exchange it with another large courtyard or give him one of the back rooms in the front courtyard of courtyard No. 95, which would be two rooms together with the room in the middle courtyard. Wang Dahe did not want to be too far away from his sister and brother-in-law's house. They had gotten used to living together for many years, so after discussing it, the couple decided to take the back room in the front courtyard next to the east wing, to leave for their child to sleep in when he grew up.
The He family still only had two sons, He Yuanchao and He Shengli, and no other children were born. Yu Shui wanted to go to a vocational school after graduating from junior high school, but He Yuzhu rejected the idea. If he went to a vocational school, he would only be a teenager when he graduated, so what kind of job could he do? Anyway, Yu Shui had good grades, so it was better for him to go directly to high school and take the college entrance exam.
Although both vocational school graduates and university students are guaranteed job placement, the difference in treatment is still significant. Yushui is currently in his second year of high school and will be a senior in the second half of the year.
I won't mention the other minor residents in the compound. Nowadays, apart from announcing new policies, there are basically no general meetings for the whole compound, so the minor residents have basically no chance to appear. I won't waste words on that.
The courtyard houses of today are completely devoid of the hostility found in fanfiction, and there's no more backstabbing or scheming. Every morning, children over five years old get up early to practice martial arts with He Yuzhu. They form a united group with similar fighting styles and often spar with each other to see who is the best.
Bang Geng was able to correct many of his bad habits because if he hadn't, he would have been ostracized by all the other children in the courtyard. Now, No. 95 Courtyard is well-known in the neighborhood, not only for being recognized as an advanced courtyard house every year, but also because the children in the courtyard are very united.
In recent years, the neighborhood committee has inquired about He Yuzhu's marriage, and matchmakers have also come to his door to ask questions. After all, even with three children, he is still very well-off. However, the He family has refused all of them. They think that finding a wife for He Yuzhu would only harm him, since he is not worried about his old age. Anyway, He Daqing sees that he is happy every day, so he just lets him be.
