Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 38 The Not Simple Old Lady

The deaf old lady is not simple. She is a five-guarantee household. In those days, five-guarantee household was not something you could get easily. If you had a child and the child died for the country on the battlefield, you could get the status of five-guarantee household.

What are the five guarantees: food, clothing, medical care, housing, and burial (orphans are the guardians of education).

The five-guarantee households of that era definitely gave a thumbs up.

How did the deaf old lady get the status of a five-guarantee household? She has no children. It is impossible for her children to die for the country. There is only one reason. She donated everything she had.

What did the deaf old lady donate that would allow her to gain recognition from above?
When Silly Zhu once introduced the courtyard to Teacher Ran, he said that the courtyard is the prince's palace, and this courtyard is a three-in-four courtyard. However, the prince's palace cannot be so small. The most likely reason is that this courtyard is the prince's outer palace.

The deaf old lady is the owner of this yard.

This is why Shazhu can live in the master room, Yi Zhonghai can live in the east wing, and the Jia family can live in the west wing.

Before the liberation, these four families had people from this yard, because the higher-ups had requisitioned the old deaf lady’s yard.

The deaf old lady is a woman raised in this yard, which is evidence that she has no children.

Yi Zhonghai is a servant, as is the Jia family, and He Daqing is the cook in the house, otherwise He Daqing would not be able to learn the Tan family's cuisine.

The superiors wanted to requisition her courtyard house, but they couldn't use it in vain, so they gave her a five-guarantee household, and she arranged in advance for these three families to live in the best-located house.

As for her house, the female family members originally lived in the backyard.This was also the wish of the deaf old lady who looked down upon everyone else in the yard, because everyone else was arranged uniformly from above.Otherwise, why would Yi Zhonghai and Zhu Jia's family live in the best-located house?Are they different from others?
Also, Mrs. Jia Zhang was afraid of her, and the deaf old lady told Mrs. Jia Zhang when she taught her a lesson. Before Mrs. Jia Zhang got married, she was the ancestor of this courtyard. The plot begins in 65 years, with the husband of Widow Qin. He is older than Shazhu. Shazhu is almost thirty. The Jia family’s son is also thirty. 30 years ago was three to five years. Note that when Jia Zhang married in 30 years ago, it means that the Jia family was 30 years ago. Just in the courtyard.

In the 30s and [-]s, Forty-Nine City was one of the most chaotic places. If you have read period dramas and articles such as "In My Life" and "Camel Xiangzi", you will know that in this era, if you want to have a voice, you must have some ability or ability. power, and the fact that the deaf old lady can survive safely until now proves that she has excellent strength.

Why has He Yuzhu never gotten married?

In the 5s and 60s, jobs and even marriages were all settled by the higher authorities. Why did a 30-year-old unmarried person appear in Huangchenggen?
It was not like now that you have to get married as soon as you reach the legal age or even adulthood. The difficulties you just experienced were when there were more women and fewer men in the labor force. Once you reach the age, the streets, communities, factory guilds, and women's federations will actively introduce you to a partner. There are indicators.

Then a question arises. Xu Damao had been married for several years in 65, and He Yuzhu was still one year older than Xu Damao. How come there was no one in the streets, communities, factory guilds, and women's federations to solve the problem for such a long time? You must know that He Yuzhu was the Want to get married.

The question is, who can make the streets, communities, factory unions and women's federations forget about a person like He Yuzhu?

Note that there were targets for marriage at that time, and the files had to be re-recorded every year. The review could be said to be very strict. If He Yuzhu had reported his marriage problems at that time, many people would have lost their jobs. Who has so much energy?

Xu Damao didn't, Qin Huairu don't be kidding, there was only one person, the deaf old lady, she was the hidden boss of the courtyard.

"I'm sorry, old lady. Yi Zhonghai has confessed his crime and he can't be visited now, so you'd better leave."

In the police station, the security guard said to the deaf old lady.Just now, Yi Zhonghai could only plead guilty in the face of strong witness evidence. Because of the huge amount of theft, he had to be sentenced to at least ten years. Yi Zhonghai had been directly detained and no visits were allowed at all.

The deaf old lady wanted to visit Yi Zhonghai, but was sternly refused by the security guard.

"I want to see you above, please let the people above you come down." The deaf old lady refused to let go, and she seemed to not leave until she saw Yi Zhonghai.

"Old lady, we have rested above, so please stop making unreasonable troubles. Yi Zhonghai has confessed his crime. Now you go and help Yi Zhonghai appease the man whose money was stolen for 15 years.

Help Yi Zhonghai return the money and strive for a lighter sentence. "

The security guard comforted the deaf old lady.

However, the deaf old lady showed a hint of coldness and said: "You don't need to tell me about this matter, I will do it. Since you won't let me meet Yi Zhonghai, then I can always make a phone call. .”

"Call?" The security officer was hesitant, but after thinking about it, if he could let the old lady leave early, he should make a phone call. He should also let the old lady know that no one can come to Yi Zhonghai's case.

But what the security officer didn't expect was that as soon as the call was made, a moment later, the security officer's boss made a call to the security officer, asking the security officer to make an exception and let the old lady go see Yi Zhonghai.

The security guard was really shocked. He never thought that this old lady was so powerful.

There was no choice but to arrange a meeting between the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai. When the deaf old lady saw Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai was sitting on the other side of the table with a lifeless expression.

Seeing the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai sighed slightly: "Old lady, I'm in trouble this time. Who would have thought that He Daqing's colleague actually met He Yuzhu and gave He Daqing the monthly alimony payment. Speak out."

Looking at Yi Zhonghai at this time, the old lady snorted coldly: "Now I know I regret it. He Daqing left the courtyard just for us. How did you promise He Daqing that you would take good care of his children?

I really didn't expect that Zhonghai, you are really vicious, and you took He Daqing's money of 15 yuan for 800 consecutive years. "

Yi Zhonghai was speechless and could only sigh deeply: "I actually gave He Daqing to He Yuzhu and He Yuzhu's living expenses, just to let these two people remember our kindness. After all, it is difficult to provide help in times of need, but it is easy to add icing on the cake.

When they are in the most difficult time, give them a bite to eat, and they will always remember our kindness. If they had He Daqing's ten yuan a month, they would not be grateful to us.

And He Daqing, when you left, you promised that we would never have contact with each other until we die, but he still sends money every month. This is also a violation of our agreement at that time. If he does not abide by the agreement, then why should I abide by it? "

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Now listen carefully. You saved this money for He Yuzhu and He Yuyu. You will give it to them after they get married. It was just a misunderstanding. Since the two of them want to Yes, yes, you will not only give them their father’s money, but also double it, and you will actually save ten yuan for the two of them every month.”

"What? I still want to give them 800 yuan?" Yi Zhonghai's face was filled with anger, and his veins were exposed, showing his dissatisfaction.
