Chapter 10 ‖ the Families in the Courtyard

Considering the crowd in the courtyard, many of them are illiterate.

Director Ma also asked Yan Bugui to bring a large piece of paper and cut it into eighteen small pieces.

On each piece of paper, in order, write the names of several people in advance.

Then I sent one to every household, and just asked everyone to draw the right number.

……

In the end, the result of the election was that Yi Zhonghai was the first uncle, Liu Haizhong was the second uncle, Yan Bugui was the third uncle, and the three people who were selected were beaming.

Xu Youfu and He Daqing, who failed in the competition, were full of disappointment.

After the election, Director Ma asked everyone to go home.

Only Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, the deaf old lady, Zheng's mother, Wang Cuifen and a few people were left to speak.

Zheng Zhendong took his sister back to the house, lit a kerosene lamp, and began to pour water to wash his feet.

"Third brother, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep." Sister Xinyi said and entered the cubicle on the north side of the living room.

Zheng Zhendong washed his feet while thinking about what to do in the future.

Thinking of it, I want to live in this courtyard for a long time, and my whole body is trembling, after all, this is the poultry courtyard that netizens in later generations jokingly called.

Through this period of observation and understanding, Zheng Zhendong has a general impression of the neighbors in the courtyard.

As soon as you enter the east side of the gate, Aunt Ma and her seven or eight-year-old son Ma Fulai live in the east room.

Aunt Ma's man, on the eve of liberation, his family was poor, and in order to save food for his wife and children, he could only go out and lie down, but he froze to death outside, and even the body was not found.

After liberation, the mother and wife relied on government relief to live, and they were well-known poor households in the hospital.

In the inverted room on the west side lived the three families of Zhao, Liu, and Chen.

Zhao Dali, an old bachelor, nicknamed Zhao Ersil, before liberation, he made a living by pulling rickshaws, and rented a Jinfa car from the second grandfather Sun of Tonghe Car Company.

After liberation, Sun Jinfa was shot for opposing the government.

Zhao Dali was arranged by the government to live here, and now he relies on pedaling three wheels to make a living.

The Liu family has three people, and Liu Haimin, who is twenty-five or six, is the pillar of the family, and he is a dry blacksmith in the rolling mill.

Daughter-in-law Liu Li has no job, laundry, cooking and taking care of children at home, and his son Liu Jiacheng is still a little fart.

Chen Lixin is the gatekeeper of the courtyard, in charge of opening and closing the door, cleaning the yard and receiving letters, etc., each family gives him 5,000 yuan a month as a reward.

Chen Wu, the old lady of the Chen family, only cares about laundry and cooking at home, and does not ask anything else about cleaning.

The old couple has two sons, both of whom work in other places, and the monthly mailing money is on time for the old couple to spend.

In the west wing of the front yard, there are three masters, Yan Bugui's family of four.

Yan Bugui Primary School teacher, teaching in the primary school affiliated to the rolling mill, with a monthly salary of 300,000 yuan, Weiren is careful and calculating, nicknamed Yan Laoxi, abacus fine.

The three mothers, Yang Ruihuafu sings with her wife, and she is also a master who can live, a few days ago I heard that she was pregnant again, and there are about to be more people in the family, and it is estimated that she will be even more picky after giving birth to this child.

The eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, is seven years old this year and is in the first grade of primary school, and the second son Jiefang is more than a year old and has just returned to speak.

The east wing of the front yard is temporarily empty, and according to the street, people will be arranged to live in the future.

Then said the middle court.

The middle courtyard has east and west compartments, and the main room of the north house, the wing room and the main room have their own ear rooms.

The east and west compartments are both three-room layouts.

The three big rooms in the north house are either the way you see the stupid pillar's house in the TV series, or it makes people think about it with their toes, and the main house can't be a room.

There is an ear room on the west side of the main house, and He Yushui lives in it, and there is a hanging flower door to the west that connects to the backyard.

In the west wing of the middle courtyard, there are two families, Wang and Jia.

There are many Wang families, and Aunt Wang takes two sons and a girl to increase her daughter-in-law, and the five of them live together.

Lived in two rooms on the south side of the West Wing.

Aunt Wang is in her forties this year, his man, before liberation, was pulled and has not come back, Aunt Wang is a famous matchmaker nearby.

The eldest son, Wang Cunren, is 234 years old and works as a turner in a rolling mill with a monthly salary of more than 300,000 yuan.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Xiulian, is more than eight months pregnant, and lives with her husband in the southernmost half of the West Wing.

Facing the door of the Wang family is half of the living room, the room on this side of the living room, next to the Jia family, this room has been changed into two rooms before and after.

In the front room, there lived Aunt Wang and her queen Erni.

Wang Erni, sixteen or seventeen years old, works in a textile factory.

In the back room lived the youngest son Wang Cunyi, who was about ten years old and was in elementary school.

In the north of the west wing, there are three members of the Jia family.

A whole room, divided into two halves, with the inner room as the bedroom and the outhouse as the living room.

There is a small bed in the living room, and Jia Dongxu sleeps on the small bed on weekdays.

Lao Jia had an accident, and Jia Zhang went to the rolling mill to cry for a long time.

Lou Zhensheng, Lou Dong was afraid that the impact would not be good, so he finally lost 3 million, and promised to reimburse Lao Jia's medical expenses, and let Jia Dongxu go to the top post, so the Jia family gave up.

Jia Dongxu, who just took up the post a few days ago, followed Yi Zhonghai to learn fitters.

Jia Fugui's body injuries were basically healed, but his lower limbs were paralyzed, and the hospital could not do anything to treat it, so he had to go home and lie down.

In the west wing of the ear room live Sun Yanwen and Wu Chunli.

Sun Yanwen, in Tongheju, is a big guy, with a monthly salary of 250,000 yuan, which is only enough for the expenses of a small family.

Wu Chunli has no formal job, and picks up odd jobs outside on weekdays to supplement the family.

The east wing room houses the Yi and Zheng families, and the east wing room houses Zhu Dachang and Zhu Dachang.

Zhu Dachang, who is twenty-five or six, has not yet married a daughter-in-law, because he is fierce and vicious, and he is a pig killer.

Kill pigs for Boss Kong at a nearby Huimin butcher shop.

Kill a pig and clean it up, give 10,000 yuan plus a pound to get off the goods.

Because of the delicious intestines, he was nicknamed by Jia Zhang's family, pig intestines.

The Zheng family just moved in and was given two east wings.

The living room and the half room to the south of the living room are a whole room, which is lattice to two and a half rooms.

Zheng Zhendong lives in half of the room by himself, and Zheng's mother lives in the whole room with his sister.

Next door lives Yi Zhonghai, and the two of them have only one room, which is also divided into two and a half rooms, half as a living room and half as a bedroom.

Yi Zhonghai works as a fitter in a rolling mill, with good skills, and closes 500,000 yuan a month.

Aunt Yi is not in good health and has no job, so she can only cook, wash clothes and clean up at home.

It's just that the two of them have never had any children, and Yi's mother always feels inferior.

The main house of the north house is inhabited by the He and Li families.

The He family has a main room to the west and a west room to the ear.

He Daqing, Silly Zhu, the two live in the main house, and He Yushui lives in the west ear room.

When He Daqing and his father were alive, he learned Tan family cuisine, and He Daqing followed the cook, only serving rich and powerful distinguished guests.

The two of them made a lot of money, so they bought the main house and ear room in this courtyard.

Later, the situation was turbulent, and there were fewer people eating Tan's dishes, He Daqing was introduced to Fengze Garden to learn to cook, and during the apprenticeship of Fengze Garden, He Daqing married a wife and had children, and sent his father away.

Later, when I was in a small book, I somehow started the Tan family's dishes again.

After the little book was driven away, He Daqing's reputation was not very good, and his daughter-in-law fell ill when she gave birth to He Yushui, and she needed to find a doctor to buy medicine, which cost a lot of money, so she could only rely on selling buns to make a living.

One day in 47, his daughter-in-law's condition worsened, and He Daqing, who had just steamed the buns, was afraid that he would not be able to let go.

arranged for 12-year-old He Yuzhu to go to the stall to sell it, He Yuzhu was young at the time and couldn't shout, so the buns didn't sell well.

Later, when the rout army entered the city and robbed everywhere, He Yuzhu saw the situation, ran away with the buns, and met a passing merchant halfway and bought all the buns.

He Yuzhu took the money from selling steamed buns and excitedly ran back to the courtyard to hand it over to He Daqing.

He Daqing saw that his son handed over the money, all of which were waste money¹, and immediately became angry, and called out the stupid pillar .......

He Yuzhu had this now, and then the nickname of Silly Zhu.

At the beginning of 48, He Daqing's daughter-in-law died, prices soared, and life became more and more difficult.

After being introduced by the deaf old lady in the backyard, He Daqing entered the rolling mill as a chef.

At the beginning of the new country, the salary was set at 450,000 yuan.

The Li family next to the He family is the original owner of this courtyard.

The ancestor of the Li family was an official, and later his family fell into the middle of the road.

Gradually, the houses in the yard were sold one after another.

Only two main rooms and one east room remained.

The Li family only lived alone in his 30s, and his daughter-in-law was beaten away by him before liberation.

Li Funian eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles all day long, and he is not doing his job, and he has been rectified many times by the street office, and he has become hob meat, and no one in the courtyard has anyone to take care of him.

After passing the weeping flower gate, I entered the backyard.

In the west wing of the backyard, there are four members of the Xu family and the Xu family.

Xu's father, Xu Youfu, at the age of thirty-five or sixteen, showed movies in Lou Cinema with a salary of 400,000 yuan.

Mother Xu, in her early thirties, works as a servant in Lou's family, and her salary is uncertain, so it seems that it should be a lot.

The son, Xu Damao, is thirteen years old, studying in Dongzhimen Primary School, and may be in junior high school after the New Year.

On weekdays, Xu Damao often goes to the cinema and learns to play movies with Xu Youfu.

Daughter, Xu Fengling, eight years old, is going to study at the beginning of the year.

The Xu family lives in the east wing of the door, and there are five people in the bangs.

The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, fat and strong, working as a forging worker in a rolling mill with a salary of 450,000 yuan.

The second uncle is in the bangs, and the bangs in the front yard are the family.

The second aunt, a housewife, has no job.

The eldest son, Liu Guangqi, 10 years old, is in junior high school, and he doesn't care much about family affairs, so he runs out to play when he has time.

The second son, Liu Guangtian, is six years old, with a long tiger head and a tiger brain, and is often reprimanded by the second uncle.

The youngest son, Liu Guangfu, is more than a year old and has just learned to speak.

There are six rooms in the backyard, in which three households live Qian, Lin and Yang, just two in each household.

The first landlord in the back cover lived in the Qian family, the Qian family of three, Qian Gensheng and the eldest brother of Qian, with their three or four-year-old son Qian Sihai, lived together.

Twenty-five or sixteen-year-old Qian Gensheng is a shaver who has to go out every day to do business.

The sister-in-law of the Qian family works in the early shop at the entrance of the street, and can get more than 100,000 yuan a month.

In the middle two rooms, the deaf old lady lives alone.

The deaf old lady's husband's surname is Lin, and she is now in her sixties, and she has not started to pretend to be deaf, and everyone calls her Mrs. Lin.

Living next to Mrs. Lin is the Yang family.
