Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

The two sides argued back and forth, but Xu Jianshe refused to compromise. Xu Wannian and his wife also knew that they were biased. Their youngest son had grown up now and had more ideas. They would not just listen to what the child said.

Because they felt guilty, the old couple did not want to make the matter known to everyone. Xu Jianshe once again proposed to split up the family. After the family was split up, brothers should settle accounts clearly and no one should take advantage of the other. But it did not go as they wished, and the negotiations ended unhappily.

The next morning, Xu Jianshe took Hu Yingzi and left the Xu family without even having breakfast.

On the morning of the fifth day, Uncle Xu drove a bullock cart and sent his eldest son to the railway station, where he met up with Xu Jianshe.

Watching the three people get on the train, Xu jumped up happily. His bronze face was full of smiles.

He has been keeping this good news to himself these days, and has not told anyone about it. He has even borrowed money mostly from relatives in other villages. He has also borrowed from a few families in his own village, but none of them disclosed the specific reasons for borrowing money.

Now that my son is gone, the job is a done deal and no one can take it away from me.

He hummed a little tune and drove the ox cart into the village. He greeted everyone he met warmly. Someone asked, "Uncle San, what are you doing driving the cart? It's so beautiful?"

Uncle Xu: "My son went to work at the Beijing Steel Mill. I just sent him to the train station."

He took this opportunity to spread the news. Good news should be shared by everyone. Sooner or later, everyone will know it. What does it matter if it's earlier or later?

The news that Xu Jianshou was going to work in Beijing spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys of Xujiawan. To have such an opportunity in this year was a great fortune.

When Aunt Xu Si heard the news, her envy, jealousy and hatred turned into anger. She got off the warm kang and walked towards Xu Jianshe's house.

They sang, recited, and acted as they walked, "Xu Jianshe is such a naughty kid. He only has his third uncle in his eyes, not his fourth uncle. They are cousins ​​too, but when there was a job, his fourth uncle didn't even hear about it, and he gave it to his third uncle! They are both uncles, why are they treated differently? My eldest brother and his wife are also partial. They gave the job to Jianshou without letting anyone know. How come my eldest son is not from your Xu family? My poor child, he missed out on such a good job."

When they arrived at Xu Jianshe's house, the door was pushed open with a bang, and she burst into tears to Xu Wannian. Only then did Xu Wannian know the whole story. This unfilial son was so bold that he didn't even tell his family about such a big thing.

Xu Wannian slammed the table in anger and said angrily, "Fourth Brother, go call Third Brother over."

When Uncle Xu was pulled into the door by his sleeve, his mood took a 180-degree turn. The more cocky he was just now, the more depressed he was now.

He was causing trouble for Jianshe. He knew that his fourth brother's wife was a stickler in their family, and could make trouble for them no matter what they thought was right or wrong.

Fortunately, the matter has been done, what can I do?

Xu Wannian: "Third brother, tell me the truth, was Jianshou's job found by Jianshe?"

Uncle Xu lowered his head and said, "It could be someone else if not Jianshe. I don't know anyone else in the capital."

Xu Wannian: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Uncle Xu: "Am I stupid? What if I tell others and someone else takes it away? Jianshe said that this spot can be sold for 600 yuan, but he only took 400 yuan from me. If someone else offers more, Jianshou will have no chance."

If Xu Jianshe were here, he would really want to sew his uncle's mouth shut. He is so old, but he still says things that he should and shouldn't say.

After hearing this, Aunt Xu felt as if her family had lost 200 yuan and Xu Jianshe owed them 200 yuan.

So he was overwhelmed with grief, sat down on the cold ground, and cried loudly: "Brother and sister-in-law, you have to help me! The children of my second brother's family all have jobs, and the eldest son of my third brother's family also has a job. We are the only ones left, and we have to dig for food in the fields. My life is hard! We are all descendants of the Xu family, and you have to treat us equally, wuwu...wuwu"

Xu Wannian said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop howling. Do you think that job quotas are like cabbage, you can get them whenever you want? There is only one job quota, so it should be given to the older ones first. Your eldest is young, so there will be opportunities in the future. So, I will write a letter to Jianshe, and I will give it to your eldest if there is a job in the future."

Only then did Fourth Aunt Xu stop crying. Third Uncle Xu was twisted by his wife's ears and dragged away. Third Aunt Xu complained as she walked away, "You stupid idiot, you are causing trouble for the construction. Do you know that it is so easy to get the work quota?"

Xu Jianshe didn't know at this time that he had already owed a job to Uncle Xu's family without knowing it.

He took Xu Jianshou to report to the steel rolling mill. He Yuzhu did not show up, mainly because he did not want to attract attention. It would have a bad influence on his fellow workers to see him assigning people to the factory again and again. He is now a leader of some kind and wants to continue to rise in the future.

There were two jobs for them to choose from, one was canteen handyman, the other was blacksmith. Xu Jianshou stretched out his hand, looked at his big thick fingers and said, "Brother, I have never cooked at home. My hands are clumsy, I am afraid I can't do the canteen work well, how about I do blacksmithing, I am used to working in the fields, I have a lot of strength."

Xu Jianshe nodded and said, "Okay, let's learn a skill."

Let's talk about He Daqing in the capital. He took the opportunity of New Year's greetings to visit the homes of his fellow apprentices and his former colleagues. He had only one purpose in mind: to tell everyone that he wanted to come back and to ask them to keep an eye out for his work.

Although He Yuzhu said he had a job quota at the steel rolling mill, He Daqing didn't want to go.

His son is now the canteen director, and he will have to work under his son when he goes there. Should the father listen to his son, or should the son control the father?

He couldn't believe that he couldn't find a job in the huge capital city with his skills.

He didn't ask for much, and didn't care how much money he made. Anyway, his son and daughter-in-law were not short of money, and he didn't need to support the white widow and her son, so he didn't have any financial burden.

In the future, I will follow my son and daughter-in-law, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, watch my grandson grow up day by day, and enjoy the happiness of family. These days will be so happy.

After the vacation, He Daqing returned to Baocheng. He had to go back and divorce Widow Bai.

On this day, Cai Quanwu found Xu Huizhen and said to him, "Huizhen, you asked me to follow up on Pian'erye's sale of the house. There is news. Pian'erye plans to sell the house and go to the Northeast to find his son."

Xu Huizhen said, "I won't show up. Tonight, I'll ask Xu Jianshe to come find you. No matter how much money Pian'erye wants, let Xu Jianshe buy the house."

Cai Quanwu nodded. Xu Huizhen said thoughtfully, "The black soil in the Northeast is very fertile, and the grain yield is high. Zhuzi went to the Northeast to transport grain last year. Pian Ye has money in his hands. After he goes to the Northeast, let's ask him to buy grain there, and I will use my connections to transport it back. How about making a profit from the difference?"

In the original plot, Xu Huizhen also teamed up with Pian Ye to trade grain. However, Pian Ye was a man with a loose mouth. After drinking a little, he didn't keep his mouth shut and said everything, which almost caused a disaster. In this era, speculation is a serious crime and it is not a joke.

However, now that we know the original plot, there are ways to avoid the risks.

Cai Quanwu thought for a moment and said, "It's OK, but the risk is very high."
