Chapter 85 Lou Xiao'e at age 6
He Yuzhu experienced the benefits of practicing Baduanjin, which undoubtedly inspired him to be even more determined to continue practicing.
He Yuzhu hopes that when he is 100 years old, he will still be able to walk briskly and sleep with several women every night. He was born in 1935, will be 65 years old in 2000, and will be 90 years old in 2025.
If you calculate it that way, wouldn't we be able to live a carefree life for many more years? Having money but failing health is the greatest tragedy.
Hoping for a better life in the future, He Yuzhu practiced Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade) with exceptional diligence. Liu Yulan and He Yushui simply couldn't understand He Yuzhu's aspirational heart.
The courtyard house is peaceful, and work goes smoothly.
A year has passed, and He Yuzhu's salary has been raised by one level.
The current salary is level 17, which is 99 yuan per month. In addition, there is a 5 yuan subsidy for the position of director of the guesthouse, so the monthly salary is 104 yuan.
This was also arranged by Li Huaide, so that his good brother could make more money. Over the years, thanks to He Yuzhu, Li Huaide had also made a lot of connections.
He Yuzhu helped Li Huaide a lot in this process, and the key point is that He Yuzhu didn't have many places to ask him for favors.
He Yuzhu didn't want the tickets for those large items either. He had already bought them in advance, so he really didn't need them.
Li Huaide felt a little embarrassed, since his principle was to ensure that his subordinates enjoyed the good life with him.
It wouldn't do to let He Yuzhu work for free without any benefits, so whenever there was a raise or promotion, Li Huaide would take the initiative to help He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse; no one would refuse to make more money legitimately. He wasn't a saint without desires either; the main thing was that he didn't really need Li Huaide to arrange anything for him right now.
My brother-in-law will have to wait two more years before he can get a job at the steel rolling mill, at which point he can arrange it himself.
There are a certain number of leadership positions available at the steel rolling mill, and even the director of the guesthouse is considered a leader.
Without further ado, three to five spots are really not a problem.
He Yuzhu was too lazy to make any arrangements; one for his brother-in-law would suffice. There were no others; who else could they be given to?
Some people did come to He Yuzhu's house asking him to arrange a job for them, but He Yuzhu refused outright.
He Yuzhu was already being merciful by not intervening in the crackdown on these beasts. Which of the scoundrels in the courtyard hadn't participated in his slanderous remarks?
Besides Li Tieniu's family, even Zhang Xiaoquan's wife had spoken ill of them behind their backs. Not to mention Xu Damao's family, and Xu Fugui's as well.
Even if they're close to you, they might still cause you trouble if they get jealous. It's not about anything else; they simply don't want you to have a good life.
Why would He Yuzhu offer them job openings? They should just stay in the courtyard and let things rot.
Liu Yulan was naturally happy with the pay raise.
This means she can save more money, and Liu Yulan discovered she was pregnant just two days ago.
Now the He family is even more blessed. In order to better take care of Liu Yulan, He Yuzhu personally invited his two sisters-in-law, Liu Yuqiu and Liu Yuju, to visit their home.
The two are now sixteen years old and will be getting married in two more years.
They also wanted to marry into the city, and when He Yuzhu found out, he arranged for the two of them to come to his home to serve Liu Yulan.
I can also help them find potential partners, since neither of my two sisters-in-law has to marry into the boss's family.
He only needs a worker as a partner. Although his two sisters-in-law are not as beautiful as Liu Yuchun and Liu Yulan, they are still the most beautiful women in the surrounding villages.
It's just that the eras are different, otherwise He Yuzhu would have wanted to keep them.
However, for the sake of family harmony, He Yuzhu suppressed his restless heart.
If I can't take the two sisters in, that doesn't stop me from having them do chores for my wife.
It would be perfect to have two years to recover, and once my skin became fairer, it would be easier to find a partner. Liu Dazhi and Wang Cuilan immediately agreed when they heard He Yuzhu's plan.
The son-in-law has directly elevated the Liu family to a higher level. If the third and fourth daughters also marry into the city, the Liu family will truly be a different family.
When Liu Yuqiu and Liu Yuju heard that their brother-in-law had asked them to come to the city, they were extremely anxious and took a car to the capital overnight.
When the two moved into the He family home, it was like Cinderella moving into a castle.
Although I knew my second sister married a government official and was living a good life, I never imagined she was living this well.
The room was filled with brand-new furniture, a gleaming bicycle, and a brightly lit watch on his wrist.
Liu Yuqiu and Liu Yuju truly wished this were their husbands' home, and they were even more envious when they saw what their second sister's family ate and drank every day.
With two more sisters-in-law in the house, it's bound to become much more lively.
He Yuzhu moved directly to the small bedroom next door, while Liu Yulan and her two sisters lived in the master bedroom on the big bed.
There are three rooms on the second floor. The master bedroom is the largest, at 30 square meters, while the other two are only 15 square meters each. Since they are located on both sides and the top floor is lower on the outer side, the rooms are still somewhat cramped.
He Yuzhu recently planned to renovate the side room, as he had only been tidying up the main house and the side room had been turned into a warehouse.
Seeing that the house was cramped, He Yuzhu decided to clean out the side room.
That's simple. Just apply a coat of whitewash, level the floor, and then buy a wooden bed.
That way, I can live more comfortably. The most important thing is to connect it with the main house and seal off the side room door so that I can go inside to clean at night.
We found Yangshi Lei again, and he finished the job in just two days.
Yangshi Lei charged 100 yuan for the materials and labor, mainly because the project was too small.
The floor was leveled, several tiles were replaced, plaster was applied, the side room door was sealed off, the connecting area was opened up, and a 1.5-meter wooden bed was made.
This change made the house feel much more spacious.
He Yushui moved directly from the second floor to the side room. He Yuzhu and Liu Yulan lived in the master bedroom on the second floor, and the two sisters-in-law each lived in a secondary bedroom.
When He Yushui gets married, the He family will have four bedrooms, enough to house at least three children.
He Yuzhu did not choose to buy a house now because it was useless.
The government is now encouraging those with ample housing to rent out their vacant properties. Those who already own homes have no choice but to put them down; buying a house now would only create trouble for themselves.
If someone reports you, they'll take your house away.
Director Wang only kept the secret from He Yuzhu because he was sensible.
If He Yuzhu continues to buy houses, Director Wang will no longer take responsibility for him.
Even in the 1980s, courtyard houses weren't worth much.
He Yuzhu wasn't in a hurry at all. If you buy real estate and wait for it to appreciate in value, you'll basically never get the chance.
Therefore, if He Yuzhu buys another courtyard house in the future, it will definitely be for his own comfort.
The main house in the courtyard of Fuxiang Hutong was given to Qin Huairu as a reward for her bearing his child.
Liu Dazhi and Wang Cuilan also visited the He family for the first time and finally saw where their daughter lived. Previously, He Yuzhu had not allowed them to come, saying he was afraid that someone in the courtyard would cause trouble.
Now that they have a child, they're no longer afraid of being sabotaged.
They brought a lot of eggs with them this time, knowing that their second daughter was pregnant, which must have made them happy as parents.
They adored their second son-in-law. He was generous to them and even had connections to their son's future job; how could they not want to curry favor with him?
Their eldest daughter, Liu Yuchun, had two children, but they didn't pay much attention to them.
Liu Yulan had just become pregnant when she arrived with several kilograms of eggs, looking very eager.
This is only natural. One parent can't bring any benefits to the family, while the other can continuously do so. As parents, it's natural to favor the more capable one; human nature is just that realistic.
He Yuzhu specially brought back a lot of ingredients from outside and personally cooked a meal to entertain his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The two stayed there for one night and returned to Wangjiazhuang Commune the next day.
I guess they'll have something new to brag about when they get back, since the second son-in-law's house is so big, it's not the kind of place where each person only has a few square meters as they say.
Moreover, seeing that the son-in-law's family had three bicycles, and even He Yushui, who went to school, rode a bicycle and had a watch, Liu Dazhi and Wang Cuilan were even more shocked and could not believe it.
No wonder everyone is so eager to marry into the city. Look at the second son's family's life, and then think about life in the village.
The magnolia tree, which was already well-cared for, is now even more beautiful.
Even Wang Cuilan, the mother, was jealous that her second son could live such a life.
He Yuzhu took the two elderly people to the bus stop and gave them ten yuan.
The two elders politely declined, but He Yuzhu simply rode away on his bicycle, leaving them no choice but to accept.
Leaving aside Liu Dazhi, Wang Cuilan returned to Wangjiazhuang Commune and boasted about her experiences in Beijing.
He Yuzhu arrived at the guesthouse by himself and first checked everyone's preparations.
Seeing that everything was going well, I returned to the office, ready to slack off.
"Bang bang bang"
"Please come in."
"Hehe, Brother Zhu, I'm here."
"Xiao'e, why did you come by yourself?"
"I came with my dad. He went to talk to Secretary Zhang, so I came to see you."
"How's everything at home lately?"
"Sure, everything is fine except for being a bit dull."
Lou Xiao'e's words left He Yuzhu speechless.
In recent years, Lou Bancheng has been communicating with his superiors, hoping to be able to participate in more of the work at the steel rolling mill.
However, the higher-ups have already expanded what was originally a small factory with less than two thousand employees into a large factory with nearly eight thousand employees, so they certainly won't agree to it.
Even the original shares are no longer suitable, as Lou Bancheng is now receiving too much in dividends every year.
Lou Bancheng himself was scared, after all, the original steel rolling mill was actually worthless.
At that time, the steel rolling mill was only a small part of Loubancheng's industry.
The dividends from the steel rolling mill now exceed those from most of Lou Bancheng's industries.
Lou Bancheng, who originally proposed donating the steel rolling mill, can no longer bring himself to say it.
After all, it's hard to give up wealth, and too much money can easily breed fear and greed.
He Yuzhu didn't want to judge others; he felt that if he were in that situation, he probably wouldn't have done any better than Lou Bancheng.
Unless the other party is also a time traveler, who can predict what the future holds?
Lou Bancheng's current desire to participate in the steel rolling mill is not for power.
Rather, he hoped that through his own efforts, he could convince those above that he deserved such a high level of reward.
Otherwise, everyone would feel uneasy if so much money were taken away for nothing every year.
