Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

When Xu Jianmei arrived at Cai Quanwu's house, she was cooking dinner. In that era, few people would visit during meal times because food was rationed and no one had enough food. Xu Huizhen felt at this moment that her visit was a bit rash.

Jianmei said enthusiastically: "Sister Huizhen, you can eat here. I will go cook first."

Xu Huizhen said hurriedly: "Yingzi is already sitting at home. I have something to talk to Cai Quanwu about. I will leave in a while. Don't worry about me."

After that, he walked into the main hall and exchanged a few words with Master Li. Seeing Xu Huizhen's sudden visit, Cai Quanwu guessed that she must have something to do, so he asked, "Huizhen, is there anything you need?"

Master Li was present, and Xu Huizhen did not avoid him. She said, "You also know what happened to Cao Dongyang's wife some time ago, and Fan Jinyou's anonymous report. Director Wang forced me to get married quickly. She said that after marriage, there would be no such gossip. I want you to ask He Yuzhu if he is willing to have a fake marriage with me."

Cai Quanwu's boss opened his mouth and said, "Ah? What do you mean by fake marriage?"

Xu Huizhen: "A fake marriage is when two people get a marriage certificate, just for show, but they don't have to live together. Are they not actually husband and wife?"

Cai Quanwu: “Is this okay?”

Afraid that Cai Quanwu would misunderstand that she was taking advantage of He Yuzhu, Xu Huizhen quickly continued, "Of course, since I turned a young man into a divorced man, I will give him spiritual compensation. Remember the bicycle I bought? It's 100% new. I'll give it to him and let him be a shield for me for two years. After two years, if the marriage continues, I will compensate him. During this period, if He Yuzhu meets a girl he likes and wants to get married, I will divorce him unconditionally."

Cai Quanwu: "Then why don't you really get married?"

Xu Huizhen spread her hands and said, "Who should I marry? You know, I don't like ordinary people. I don't have a suitable marriage partner, right?"

Cai Quanwu: "Then why did you come up with the idea of ​​faking marriage with Zhuzi?"

Xu Huizhen: "Of course, he doesn't have parents to supervise him. Zhuzi can make the decision alone. Besides, I know a little bit about physiognomy. He Yuzhu will not have a marriage before the age of 30. So it won't hinder him from getting married and having children."

Mr. Li was listening curiously. He said, "Huizhen's idea is really unique. It has never been seen before and will never be seen again. In my opinion, you should not be so picky. Just find someone who is similar to you to live with."

Xu Huizhen shook her head and said, "I'd rather have nothing than something bad. I don't want to wrong myself."

Seeing that Master Li couldn't persuade him, Cai Quanwu had no choice but to nod and say, "I'll go ask Zhuzi for you today. I can't guarantee whether it will work."

Xu Huizhen said happily: "You must try your best. After the task is completed, I will give you ten kilograms of pork belly as a thank you gift."

Cai Quanwu: "Am I a person who is greedy for small gains? Even if you don't want your meat, I will do my best."

Master Li was anxious: "Huizhen, I am a petty person, give me the meat. I will get the pillar for you."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Master Li, you are just an old child, an old child. Even if I gave it to Cai Quanwu, would he dare to eat it all by himself and not give it to you?"

Master Li chuckled and said, "Yeah, I was just joking."

After finishing his meal, Cai Quanwu rode his bicycle to He Yuzhu's house. That's right, he bought a bicycle with Xu Huizhen, and originally planned to keep it and sell it after the price went up. But plans are not as fast as changes, and now that he is married and has some money, he gave it to his wife.

As for He Yuzhu, he has been dreaming about things in the future recently. For example, if he encounters someone or something during the day that has something to do with him in the future, he will dream about the follow-up of the person or thing in the future at night. So he has a rough idea of ​​his future.

For example, he went to the office of the director of logistics a few days ago to ask Director Li for something. As a result, he dreamed that Director Li later became the deputy director in charge of logistics. Around the 1960s, the national grain production decreased, and the grain supply in the city was insufficient. The workers were not well fed. The steel mills were all heavy physical labor, and if they were not well fed, how could they have the energy to work? Director Li used connections everywhere and begged for more food. He also dreamed that Director Li became the head of the steel mill several years later.

He Yuzhu comforted himself by thinking that maybe his life would be too miserable in the future and God couldn't stand it, so he gave him some information in advance to make his second half of life smoother.

He extracted a lot of useful information from these dreams. He examined his life from the perspective of an outsider. He came to the following conclusions: First, he had no ideals or goals. He spent his life in a muddle-headed way, doing his job day by day. Of course, no one guided him correctly.

Second, he is only clever but not wise. Do you think he is dumber than others? Obviously not, he is quite smart. He has never suffered a loss when he didn't want to. When dealing with others, he has many tricks and is good at talking, but he only uses them on trivial matters and never on serious matters.

Third, he made friends carelessly, mistaking fish eyes for pearls and wolves for loyal dogs. The two people he trusted the most were Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, but they were the ones who hurt him the most. Did anyone remind him? Yes, for example, his apprentice Ma Hua had reminded him, and even Xu Damao had reminded him, but he took people's kindness for granted and went all the way to the end.

Fourth, he didn’t seize the opportunity when it came. He also met noble people who helped him, such as the senior leader, who admired him very much and the two of them became close friends regardless of age difference. But his connections were not put to good use. The only time he asked the senior leader for help was to arrange a job for Banggeng, the ungrateful wolf. For example, Director Yang, who had a good personal relationship with him, promoted him to be the canteen director after he resumed work. However, he himself did not live up to expectations and did not achieve any results.

Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. He is only twenty years old now. It is not too late for him to stay away from villains and get close to gentlemen and start his life again.

Tonight, he cooked two dishes and invited Xu Damao to his home for a drink. He and Xu Damao grew up together in this courtyard. Neither of them gave in to the other, and they often fought and quarreled. But there was no deep hatred, and today He Yuzhu wanted to laugh it off with him.

Although Xu Damao was not a good person, after breaking up with Yi Zhonghai, he did not want to make too many enemies in the courtyard, nor did he want to waste his energy on these small intrigues in the courtyard. So he wanted to unite everything that could be united, such as Xu Damao, who also hated Yi Zhonghai, and the enemy of his enemy was his friend.
