Courtyard: My wife is Wen Li

By the time Xu Damao came to his senses, they had already left the hospital, and Lou Xiao'e was holding a lot of medicine in her hand.

"What are you doing with the medicine?" Xu Damao asked.

Lou Xiao'e glared at him, "Xu Damao, you can't do it now. The doctor has prescribed medicine for you. You can't smoke or drink from now on, and you can't do that for a month."

"Why should you listen to him?" Xu Damao became a little angry, "It's all He Yuzhu's fault!"

"Can you blame me?" Lou Xiao'e looked in disbelief, "I tell you Xu Damao, it's you who can't do it now. If you don't cooperate with the treatment, then we will divorce."

"..." Only then did Xu Damao realize that he couldn't offend Lou Xiao'e now, because it was him who couldn't do it, not that she couldn't give birth.

If there really is a divorce, then the Lou family will definitely spread the news, and Lou Xiao'e will definitely not take the blame. Xu Damao is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still very smart, but he always suffers at the hands of He Yuzhu.

"Don't be angry. I'm taking the medicine. I will definitely take the medicine." Xu Damao nodded, "But let's say it's a tonic to the outside world and plan to ask the child to take the tonic in advance."

"..." Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao. After all, she was already married, so what else could she do?

"Okay, but your parents must make it clear, and they must take it seriously. If it really can't be cured, I won't fight with you." Lou Xiao'e stuffed the medicine directly into Xu Damao's hands, then turned around and left, and the two of them ran directly towards each other. The Xu family went.

The Xu family, Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Xu Damao's sister were all surprised when they heard that it was Xu Damao's question.

Father Xu was naturally very serious, "Da Mao, you must listen to Xiao'e on this matter. If you don't cooperate with the treatment, I will deal with you."

"You are the only one in our Xu family, and it's your responsibility to carry on the family line. If something goes wrong, I can't spare you."

"Got it!" Xu Damao said listlessly.

Father Xu turned to his wife and said, "And you, apologize to Xiao'e."

"I..." Xu's mother was stunned for a moment, but she came to her senses and said hurriedly: "Xiao'e, it's all my fault. I'm an uneducated person, and I didn't know that I had so many things to say."

What can Lou Xiaoe say?

"Mother-in-law, it doesn't matter. The most important thing now is Damao's disease." Lou Xiao'e showed an ugly smile.

Previously, Lou Xiao'e had to find a working-class person because of ingredients issues. Moreover, Lou Xiao'e couldn't cook and couldn't do much housework.

However, the situation of both parties has changed now. If Xu Damao cannot have children, then it will be the Xu family that begs Lou Xiao'e not to divorce.

Not having children is a big deal these days!

…

Soon it was January 1962, and the smell of traditional Chinese medicine coming from Xu Damao's house every day made them speculate, but no one dared to ask.

The Spring Festival is just around the corner, and every household is trying to get some good food back, so they need to have a good meal during the Spring Festival.

The pigeon market in Sijiucheng also recovered at this time and was not hit again. He Yuzhu took the time to come several times and kept selling some grain, poultry and eggs.

He already had pork at this time, but He Yuzhu had no intention of selling it. This was too eye-catching. After all, he had piglets for sale because he couldn't afford to raise them. If he could afford to raise them, no one would sell them.

Just like before, He Yuzhu didn't buy one for so many years. After all, it was strange for piglets to come to the city, and there was no place to raise them in the city.

The steel rolling mill has closed wages in advance because the task has been completed ahead of schedule, but He Yuzhu wants to stay. Before the Chinese New Year, it is also a time for the leaders of the factory to be active.

Especially Deputy Factory Director Li. He gave He Yuzhu a lot of money to buy a batch of ingredients. This time with pork, Deputy Factory Director Li wanted to entertain a lot of people!

He Yuzhu worked overtime for a few days before the New Year, and did not fully rest until the 29th. Then he returned to Wen's house and had to prepare the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner. Fortunately, his eldest sister Wenxiu and second sister Wenhui helped with the work.

"Zhuzi, do you think this year of disaster is over?" asked the eldest sister Wenxiu.

In the past few years, I have relied on the support of Zhuzi, which has made the family's life much easier, but it is not like always relying on my brother-in-law!

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I can't say it's completely over, but life should get better day by day."

He couldn't say too much. After the wind started, life became difficult again, so he couldn't say this.

"It's like a serious illness. It takes time to recover. Sister, don't be anxious. If you need anything, just come here and get it." He Yuzhu then said: "After Wen Li gave birth to the baby, it was thanks to your help. Your own family members don’t need to be so clear-minded about their calculations.”

"Well, if it weren't for you these past few years, I don't know what my life would have been like!" Wenxiu sighed.

Wen Hui also said: "Yes, even in our supply and marketing cooperative, those with large families are also very sad. Everyone's face is swollen. It has only gotten better recently."

"The adults are fine, but the children are suffering. Who wants to have more children!"

"Now the people on the street encourage families to have two children."

The three of them chatted and quickly prepared all the dishes. On New Year's Eve, they usually eat two meals, one in the afternoon and one at midnight. Dumplings are eaten at midnight.

All the dishes are prepared one day in advance. Of course, this is because He Yuzhu prepared enough ingredients, so he prepared them one step in advance. Most people simply don't have such many ingredients.

A lot of things happened in 1961, especially the death of Jia Dongxu, which caused changes in the courtyard.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, He Yuzhu took He Yuyu home and tidied up both houses. Then he took the Spring Festival couplets from the third uncle Yan Bugui and pasted them up before returning to Wen's house.

People in the compound were used to He Yuzhu coming and going like this, and He Yuzhu also thought it was good. After all, there were too many things in the compound.

At the previous hospital meeting, He Yuzhu revealed the Jia family's background. It was impossible for Yi Zhonghai to organize any donations now.

What about the Jia family?

Both Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu have money in their hands. Jia Zhang has her own pension money and Jia Dongxu's pension.

Her pension money started from Jia Dongxu's job, which was three yuan a month. How much has it been after so many years?

Plus the pension, that’s a lot of money!

What Qin Huairu has in hand is the previous deposits of the Jia family. Jia Dongxu was rewarded with a sewing ticket and bought a sewing machine when he came back. This shows that their family wealth is not thin.

Coupled with Qin Huairu's monthly salary of twenty-seven and five yuan, if they plan carefully, their life will not be bad.

It's just that Mrs. Jia Zhang is a greedy person, and Qin Huairu always wants to supplement her children's needs, but it's difficult to do this in disaster years.

There is no lunch box for He Yuzhu now. Their family is now used to eating whole grains. We don’t know what the future will be like.
