Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 13 The aftermath of a hospital meeting

"Why!" As soon as he entered the courtyard gate of the courtyard, he heard Silly Zhu's loud voice coming from Jia's house in the middle courtyard.

"How old are you, and you're still acting like a hottie?"

"Sister Qin said she doesn't want to remarry and wants to take care of the elderly and children!"

"Why are you still refusing to let me go?"

"I'll report it to the factory director tomorrow!"

There was also the vague voice of an old man saying, "Silly Zhu, what are you shouting for? The factory leaders will not be so unreasonable!"

Gu Weijun continued to help Xu Damao to the front hall, where a group of aunts were whispering and pointing at the Jia family from time to time.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

Curiosity for knowledge instantly crept into the heads of Gu Weijun, Xu Damao and others. Although their faces were so red that they couldn't see the change, their eyes had already become the shape of "gossip".

"What do children know, why are they still drinking? Go home quickly!" Gu's mother was also there, scolding her son as she watched her son join in the aunt's circle.

"No, aunt, haven't we brothers seen each other for a long time? I asked Jun Zi and the others to have a drink with me!" Xu Damao smiled and pulled Gu Weijun to help explain, "Aunt, what's going on?"

As Gu Ma and a group of aunts around her added words to each other, things gradually became clearer.It turned out that after the party committee meeting of the steel rolling mill this morning, Director Peng, the women's director, sorted out the work and living conditions of front-line female workers and discovered that Qin Huairu had slipped through the net.I have been working for more than a year, but I can't even make the simplest screws. I often make mistakes when marking lines. I can only clean up the blanks, but I often can't move them.

No, Director Peng hurriedly came to the house to understand the situation, okay? Qin Huairu burst into tears.Qin Huairu complained about all kinds of things. The mainstay of the family disappeared last year; the elderly in the family have been taking medicine for many years and are bedridden; there are several children in the family, the eldest has just entered elementary school, and the other two children are still waiting for food!The food at home is not enough, and the children have no choice but to eat meat and wear clothes. In short, there is only one word "difficult!" In short, the theme is "cry!"

Good guy, Director Peng was filled with anger all of a sudden, "Female comrades under my leadership will not be allowed to have such suffering!" Then he asked in detail, "Has the funeral subsidy of 6 months' salary been paid in place?" Answer: "It's in place!"

"Have the children's relief subsidies and the elderly's pension been paid on time every month?" Answer: "We have received them on time every month."

Director Peng thought about it and racked his brains but couldn't find where the "difficulty" lies?Suddenly his eyes lit up and he patted his thigh, "You are missing a man!"

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, and Jia Zhang was dumbfounded!

The more Director Peng thought about it, the more he was right, and the more excited he became, "Qin Huairu's monthly salary is 27.5 yuan, plus the monthly subsidy for the elderly and three children is at least 32 yuan (according to Jia Dongxu's third-level fitter, 40 yuan/month, 20% -25% of the monthly subsidy per person), there is no shortage of money at all. So what is missing? I need someone who can do rough work at home, someone who can ask questions, and someone who can resist trouble!"

Director Peng decisively promoted the country's widow remarriage policy to Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang, "The country and Chairman Mao support remarriage! Now that we women have a higher status and can hold up half the sky, we must also bravely pursue our own happy life!"

Qin Huairu refused repeatedly, "I can't bear to leave my children, and I have to take care of the elderly!"

"What's the matter? Let's recruit someone to come to your door!" Director Peng assured him by patting his chest, "Don't worry, my eldest sister will definitely help you find someone with a better body!"

"By the way, you tell your workshop director, and then you can become a childcare worker in our factory's nursery. You have many children and have experience in taking care of them. Come and fill out a form with me tomorrow."

Director Peng came and left in a hurry, leaving behind a pile of chicken feathers!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other for a long time before Mrs. Jia Zhang came to her senses. She sat on the ground holding Jia Dongxu's photo and howled. Qin Huairu persuaded her while wiping her tears. Just as Sha Zhu and the first uncle came back, what just happened happened That scene.

After listening, Xu Damao walked to the door of Qin Huairu's house with Gu Weijun and shouted with a smile, "Hey! Silly Zhu, who are you Qin Huairu?" Gu Weijun was worried that Xu Damao would not be able to stand steadily, so he held Xu Damao tightly with one hand. With his arm, he pushed Xu Damao with his shoulder and held Xu Damao's belt with one hand.

"Why are you so anxious about her remarrying?"

"Hey! Xu Damao, your grandson!" Silly Zhu rushed out of the room and gave Xu Damao a look, and lifted his vaginal legs with his feet.

"Ah!" Xu Damao couldn't dodge and fell down. He arched his body in pain and fell to the ground, covering his lower body tightly with his hands.

It's too late, it's faster than that!Gu Weijun stepped out from behind Xu Damao and used a small military grapple. While holding Shazhu's left wrist with both hands, he kicked his knees, and then forcefully pushed Shazhu's left arm up his back.Silly Zhu immediately knelt on the ground. Xiaoyu rushed over and slapped Silly Zhu twice in the face. Tiezi kicked Silly Zhu directly in the chest. Gu Weijun let go at the right time, and Silly Zhu slid back more than a meter. Fall to the ground.

"Stop! What are you doing!" The uncle rushed out of the house and roared.

"Send Brother Mao to the hospital quickly!" Gu Weijun shouted at the same time, anxiously shouting: "Brother Mao was kicked in the lower body by Silly Zhu again. What if I can't give birth to a child?" The old man's face turned black!

"Quick, Tiezi, put Brother Mao on your back! Let's go to the hospital quickly!" Gu Weijun and Xiaoyu helped Xu Damao and put it on Tiezi's shoulders. Tiezi picked up Xu Damao and ran away. Gu Weijun and Xiaoyu each supported Xu Damao on one side. In a flash, the person ran out of the yard and headed to the hospital.

The first man trotted over and helped Shazhu up. Shazhu was still in a daze and asked, "Who am I? Where am I? Who hit me just now?"

After helping Shazhu up, the first man yelled at Gu's mother: "Junzi's mother, do you see how Junzi beat Shazhu just now?"

Gu's mother was rude and replied angrily: "Oh, I just saw Silly Zhu beating Xu Damao!"

Silly Zhu came back to his senses at this time, "It's this kid Junzi again!" Seeing Gu's mother in front of him, he was about to rush over. The old man grabbed Silly Zhu. At this time, Qin Huairu also came out of the house and blocked the way. He stood in front of Gu's mother and looked at Silly Zhu with tears in his eyes, "Sinzhu, calm down!"

Gu Ma pulled Qin Huairu away and said disdainfully to Shazhu: "What's the matter? Shazhu, do you still want to fight with me?"

Silly Zhu also calmed down from his impulse at this time, and muttered: "I don't know how to hit women!" He turned his face to the side, "Humph, I will settle the score with the army later."

"Okay! You can fight and kill him as you like. Anyway, I still have a son!" After Ma Gu finished speaking, she glanced at Yi Zhonghai with a cold snort.

Yi Zhonghai was shaking with anger when he saw that the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui had also arrived at the middle courtyard, "Old Liu, Lao Yan, we are holding a hospital-wide meeting tonight!" After saying that, he let go of Silly Zhu and returned to his home angrily. , the door closed with a bang.

Mother Gu took Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Xiao Qin, I shouldn't say this, but I won't be happy if I don't spit it out today!"

Then he looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang who was sitting by the door holding her son's portrait, "Xiao Qin, his Aunt Jia, let's talk about remarriage. Whether to remarry or not, you two can just discuss it among yourselves in the house, okay? Why do unrelated people yell so loudly, lest the neighbors don’t know and make people laugh?” “Don’t even publicize family scandals! Don’t you know?”

"Aunt Jia, why did you take Dongxu out when you had nothing to do? Why? Do you think Dongxu would be unsafe down there?" "If nothing else, you scared the child!"

"Let me say it again, it is no longer the time for the daughter-in-law to have to endure the hardships of the mother-in-law!"

"Daughter-in-law, I love you even more than my daughter!" "If you really have to lie on the kang for a whole day without getting up, you can't count on anyone except your wife!"

"Aunt Wang!" Qin Huairu hugged Ma Gu's shoulders and cried bitterly. Mother Gu touched Qin Huairu's head, continued to stare at Jia Zhang, and said, "A well-established family and everything will be happy!"

"What are the parents like? What are the children like? Even for the sake of the children, you have to discipline yourself!"

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang returning to the house with a stern look on her face, Mother Gu patted Qin Huairu on the back and said, "Okay, Xiao Qin, go back to the house and cook. The children are hungry. Life is always one bump after another. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.”

"Well," Qin Huairu smiled with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, I'll go back to the house."

"Ok!"

Qin Huairu turned around and went back to the house.

Gu Ma turned around to say hello to the aunts and go home. When she saw the ugly faces of the people around her, she thought to herself, "Oh no, the blow was too big just now!" Then she slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I have to go home quickly. I'm cooking for you guys. If you don't put it on the table, you'll be scolded!" "Let's go!" After that, he hurried home.

He walked past Zhu and cursed again: "Look at how shameful you are!"

Silly Zhu was just thinking about Qin Huairu's appearance just now, when he was scolded by Gu's mother and went back to the house.

The middle courtyard also buzzed and dispersed!

On the other side, Gu Weijun and his three brothers took Xu Damao to the hospital. After registration, the doctor asked Xu Damao to take off his pants and hit him twice with a wooden stick. "It's okay. Just go home and apply a cold towel and a cold compress!" before sending him back.

Several people were chatting and laughing along the way, and Xu Damao felt that today's meal was worth it!Well, I did it well before!
Not long after returning home, Liu Guangtian came to announce the meeting. Gu's father was on duty today, Gu Weijun was lying on the kang to sober up, Gu's mother was sewing, and his brother was doing homework.Gu's mother signaled Gu Weijun to go alone and continued to mend with his head down.

Gu Weijun left the house, and together with Liu Guangtian, they called Xu Damao and walked to the middle courtyard.

The classic setting for the courtyard meeting has been set up. In the middle courtyard, there is a table made of broken wooden boards near the door of Shazhu's house. It is covered with a tablecloth. Each of the three uncles has a large teapot and a cattail leaf fan. They sit on three chairs on three sides. Above, there is a picture of a three-chamber trial.

Seeing Gu Weijun, Xu Damao and others walking to the middle courtyard, the second uncle Liu Haizhong knocked on the table with the teapot, "Okay, everyone is here!"

"Today we held a hospital-wide meeting with one content! Silly Zhu beat Xu Damao again! Then Gu Weijun beat Silly Zhu again! As an advanced quadrangle, our hospital has such fights, which is very wrong. This is very disunity, I would like to invite the most senior man in our college to preside over this meeting!"

The first uncle: "Not to mention anything else, everyone knows, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, Gu Weijun, have you all realized your mistakes?"

Silly Zhu: "Master, it's not my fault. Why did I hit Xu Damao? It's because this grandson has a bad mouth!"

Xu Damao: "Hey, I'm talking about Silly Zhu, did I say a dirty word? No, right?"

Gu Weijun: "Hey, Sir, I am brave enough to do what is right. Besides, I didn't hit a fool, right?"

The first uncle: "Xu Damao, Gu Weijun, you two, don't quibble!"

Second uncle: "That's right, don't quibble!"

The third uncle: "Xu Damao, don't play word games! The meaning behind your words is easy for people to have ambiguity!"

Xu Damao: "The third uncle is right, there is nothing wrong with what I said, but there is something wrong with Silly Zhu's understanding!"

Silly Zhu: "Hey, third uncle, you are still a school teacher. This Xu Damao is obviously fabricating an improper relationship between me and Qin Huairu. This is a personal attack! I still want to marry Huang Hua Da. My daughter’s!”

Xu Damao: "Oh, then what are you doing at Qin Huairu's house?"

Silly Zhu: "There's something going on at Qin Huairu's family. What's wrong with my neighbors in the same hospital caring about her?"

The first uncle: "He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, you two should stop arguing. You are both at fault! What do the second uncle and the third uncle think?"

Second uncle: "Yes, you are both at fault!"

Third uncle: "Well, both of them are at fault. One is a verbal attack, and the other is a physical attack!"

The first uncle: "Okay, on behalf of our courtyard, I will punish you two by sweeping the courtyard for a month!" "Next is Gu Weijun, you beat the stupid pillar and sweep the courtyard for a month!"

Gu Weijun: "Master, I didn't hit the stupid pillar!"

The first uncle: "Okay, don't quibble, everyone was watching!"

Suddenly the whole courtyard burst into laughter!

Gu Weijun: "Okay then! Even if I hit you!"

The first uncle: "That's it for today, let's break up the meeting!"
