Chapter 217 Preparations before going to the countryside

In 1969, on the th day of the second lunar month, it should have been a spring day with birds singing and flowers blooming, but at this moment the city of Beijing was still covered in snow, and the cold north wind was howling, making people feel bitingly cold.

He Yuzhu walked slowly into the courtyard with difficulty, covered in white snow. His cotton jacket was already soaked through, clinging to his body, making him feel cold.

His face was also covered with frost, and his eyebrows and beard were soaked by the snow and turned white.

He stepped deep and shallow in the snow, and each step seemed particularly heavy.

The houses in the courtyard were all covered tightly with snow, with only a few windows shedding faint lights.

The trees, flowers and plants in the yard were bent by the accumulated snow, as if telling of the length and coldness of this winter.

The entire courtyard was so quiet that it didn't even look like an inhabited courtyard.

He Yuzhu ran across the front yard and headed straight for the middle yard, shaking off the snow on his body as usual.

When he opened the curtain, he closed it again quickly.

Even though he was so fast, the cold still made the two children in the house shiver.

Xu Xinyue hurriedly brought hot water, took the wet hat and clothes from him and put them on the stove to dry.

"Dad, hug."

"Dad, hug."

When Chen Bao and Ying Bao saw He Yuzhu, they couldn't wait to open their arms, wanting him to hug them.

"Daddy is still cold. I'll hold you when he's warm." He Yuzhu washed his body while smiling and comforting the two little troublemakers.

After playing with his two children for a while, He Yuzhu brought up the result of what the couple had discussed before the New Year.

"My documents for going to the countryside have come down. I just need to arrive there before the sixth day of March."

Xu Xinyue was surprised, "So fast?"

"March is the busy farming season, so we came just in time."

We have been busy since the beginning of the year until now, haven't we just set this date?

Since you have to go to the countryside sooner or later, you might as well go earlier.

Just in time for spring planting.

"But the weather is still so cold and it's snowing outside. Can we sow seeds on March 6th?"

In fact, the weather is so cold that she thought that not only can the show not be broadcast in March, but it may not be broadcast in April either!

He Yuzhu hugged Yingbao and kissed her on the face, then said with a smile, "It should be sunny in a few days. By the sixth day of March, it shouldn't snow when we go to the countryside."

"Who knows about the weather." Xu Xinyue quickly snatched a piece of rag from Ying Bao's hand.

If Ying Bao hadn't been quick, the dirty rag would have been put into her mouth.

Ying Bao is curious about everything and wants to taste anything she gets her hands on.

Chen Bao is very clean and has a relatively calm temperament, while Ying Bao is much more naughty, does not like cleanliness and has a bad temper.

The brother and sister have completely opposite personalities. Ying Bao should be well-behaved, cute and quiet, but she is more like a boy than boys.

Chenbao, on the other hand, is the opposite of Yinbao, quiet and well-behaved.

In short, Chen Bao is a woman in a male body, while Ying Bao is a man in a female body.

Ying Bao is very good at judging people's attitudes and knows that He Yuzhu dotes on her. When she saw Xu Xinyue's frown, she immediately pouted and looked at He Yuzhu with tears in her eyes.

Coax the one that He Yuzhu loves so much and calls his sweetheart.

Xu Xinyue was so angry at the father and daughter that she was helpless, "Brother Zhuzi, just spoil her!"

"This little kid is so naughty, she's like a little witch, and yet you still spoil her."

"When she grows up to be a great witch, if she pokes the sky down, I wonder if you can handle it."

He Yuzhu smiled and tapped Yingbao's nose, "If the sky falls, I'll be there to hold it up. Don't worry, I won't crush you three."

Xu Xinyue said she was too tired to complain.

He Yuzhu is a daughter slave.

As long as Ying Bao's mouth pouts and her eyes turn red, she will pamper and coax her child without any bottom line.

Whenever Ying Bao committed a crime, as long as He Yuzhu was around, she would act like a spoiled child to avoid punishment.

Ying Bao has He Yuzhu under her control.

If this continues, she might really grow up to be a lawless female devil.

This won’t work. Girls should be quiet, well-behaved and lovable.

He Yuzhu didn't know that Xu Xinyue was already thinking about how to pack up her little cotton jacket.

He teased the siblings for a while before bringing the topic back to the topic, "Since the time has been set, you can pack up what needs to be packed when you have time."

"I need to arrange what needs to be arranged. I still have to hand over the work at the factory, so I should finish this month's work."

Xu Xinyue nodded, "Don't worry! I will take care of the family matters."

"But who will take over your position?" Xu Xinyue was very curious and didn't know who could take over He Yuzhu's position.

He Yuzhu shook his head. "I don't know who will replace me, and there is no introduction in the document."

"This person will be here the day after tomorrow, but it doesn't matter to me who he is. I just need to complete the handover. What happens to the Red Star Steel Mill afterwards has nothing to do with me."

There is a high probability that he will never return to the Red Star Steel Mill.

As long as he can get through these few years, when the limelight is not so intense, and when the shackles are untied and everyone goes into business, he might follow suit!

Steel mills like the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill will sooner or later disappear in the era of time.

He Yuzhu has already made plans for his future and will no longer stick to the so-called position of factory director.

In the next few days, He Yuzhu still went out early and came back late.

Xu Xinyue and He Yushui were packing clothes at home, and there were still many things that needed to be packed.

They were surprised when they saw the bags of things they had packed out.

But this is only half the battle.

It was February 2, and He Yuzhu was only a few days away from leaving his job.

He Yuzhu found Hu Deqing and said, "Hu Zi, have you ever thought about moving out? After all, there are three brothers in your family, plus your parents, a total of more than 20 people. Living in three rooms is still too crowded."

People have many children in this era, and almost every family has three or more.

Hu Deqing himself gave birth to 5 children.

Hu Deqing is the second child in the family. His eldest brother has 4 children, and his youngest brother has 5.

Of course, it is not possible to accommodate more than 20 people in three houses.

If they were not so poor, who would want to have several brothers and live together with their parents?

Hu Deqing was already working at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as a full-time employee, so the factory should have helped him get a house.

However, due to the tight housing supply, there have been no vacancies.

So I kept waiting, but still no distribution was made.

"Brother Zhuzi, my wife and I are discussing renting a house outside."

"No need to move out, and don't waste money. We are all going to move to the countryside, and Yu Shui and I have vacant houses."

"You also know that the beasts in our yard are eyeing my house."

"So I would like you to live in the courtyard and look after the house for us, so that those beasts won't occupy it."

Although this is an excuse, it is also true.

If I rent the house to others, I will still be bullied by those beasts in the courtyard. It would be better to give the house to Hu Deqing.

At least Hu Deqing can suppress the beasts.

With Hu Deqing keeping them in check, they dared not act recklessly.

Hu Deqing certainly understood He Yuzhu's intention, so he did not refuse.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, I'll keep your house for you, but I have to pay rent for it."

"If you don't charge me rent, then I won't guard it for you. I'll find someone else to rent it."

"Don't ask for more from me, and I won't give you more. Just follow the market price and do what you want."

"Brother Zhuzi, only in this way can I live in peace and without any psychological pressure."
