As the topic veered off course, Yu Rujia said, "I have no relation to Comrade Gan. The last thing Comrade Gan brought was a reward from the police for discovering human traffickers. This time, the things he brought are subsidies for the children. This is the only time."
“From now on, I’ll have to support my children myself. Comrade Gang Gan said that there are still five children in their bureau who haven’t been reunited with their families. If anyone is willing to take good care of these children…”
"After they verified that the person had the financial means to raise the child, they agreed to give the child to this family to raise. If you are willing, you can talk to Comrade Gan about this. As long as you adopt the child, you can also receive some subsidies."
"Of course, after you adopt a child, the police will send people to check on the child from time to time. If they find that the child has lost weight, they will take the child away, and you will have to return the subsidy you have received. Families who want to adopt a child and receive subsidies can consider this."
Earlier, I heard Yu Rujia say that you can get subsidies for raising children. Some people with bad intentions want to adopt children for the subsidies. At worst, they will just take the money and then just fob off the child. If the child can survive, great; if not, so be it.
Later, when they heard that the police would frequently send people to check on the children, and that if they weren't properly cared for, the subsidies would have to be returned, these people backed down again, but kept making sarcastic remarks.
"Yu, the educated youth, is only sixteen years old. She will get married in the future. Can you guarantee that you will raise the child well?"
"That's right. It's like the educated youth had their own children. How could they possibly care about these children?"
Hearing this from afar, Captain Huang shouted, "What nonsense are you all spouting? Yu Zhiqing is capable enough to do the work of several of you. Even if she gets married and has children, those children won't suffer any injustice."
“I think you all think everyone is just like you because you don’t know how to be human.”
His arrival caused those with ill intentions to scatter, fearing that he would catch them and assign them a hard job.
Zhang Zhaodi comforted her, saying, "These people just can't stand to see others doing well. You don't need to take their words to heart, educated youth."
Yu Rujia: "The children will stay in Shangfen Brigade. Everyone can see how their lives will turn out. There's no need to argue with them about things that haven't happened yet."
Captain Huang said, "You are the most tolerant of the educated youth. If anyone says such nonsense to you in the future, just come to me and I'll teach them a lesson."
Gao Shujing stood in the crowd, silently watching everything. After everyone had dispersed, he found Captain Huang and told him about building a house next to Yu Rujia.
Captain Huang said, "Yu, the educated youth, moved out of the educated youth compound to have a quiet space for making medicine. Gao, the educated youth, was living in a single room in the educated youth compound. Why waste money building a house?"
Gao Shujing: "Yu Zhiqing is a kind-hearted woman. She lives alone with four children, and it's not easy to find someone if there's an emergency. I'm not as enthusiastic as her, but I can still lend a hand occasionally."
“Build a house next to her house, so that if anything happens, I can hear her if she calls out, and I can also help look after the children when she goes out.”
Captain Huang looked Gao Shujing up and down, then asked with a puzzled look, "You haven't fallen for Yu Zhiqing, have you?" As far as he knew, this guy had never spoken to Yu Rujia, so how could he have taken a liking to her?
Gao Shujing initially wanted to deny it, but then thought it was good that he misunderstood, as it would make it easier for him to get to know Yu Rujia in the future, so he said, "I have some feelings for her and would like to try getting to know her."
Both of them are talented, and Captain Huang thinks highly of them. In his mind, Yu Rujia has raised four children out of wedlock, and it would be hard to find a better match than Gao Shujing. If the two of them get together, it would be a happy event.
However, I still need to give her some pointers: "Yu Zhiqing is a good person and capable; people like her are very sought after. It's just that she has four children to raise, which is a bit of a burden. If you want to be with her, you should be prepared for these things beforehand."
“Let me make this clear from the start: if you really end up with Yu Zhiqing and don’t want to be good to the child, don’t worry about what Yu Zhiqing will do; I’ll be the first to not forgive you. You need to think this through.”
Yu Rujia's family lives alone, and the closest place is the cowshed. If something really happens, like some ill-intentioned person breaking in, there's no way to call for help. With Gao Shujing living next door, Yu Rujia is safer.
Captain Huang had a lot of thoughts running through his mind. He was worried that Gao Shujing might change his mind after moving in, which would affect Yu Rujia's reputation, so he decided to give him a warning.
Gao Shujing: "If a female comrade like Yu Zhiqing can do all this, then my ability to endure it is certainly no worse than hers, and the situation that the brigade leader was worried about will not happen."
Captain Huang: "Why don't you think about it calmly for a few more days? If you still want to contact Yu Zhiqing after a few days, I will arrange for someone to build a house for you next to her, and you can pay for it yourself."
Gao Shujing: "I've always been very clear about what I want, and I won't regret it. Captain, please help me arrange people. I want to build a house with blue bricks and tiles. Can you help me get the bricks and tiles?"
Captain Huang: "How many rooms are you planning to build?"
Gao Shujing: "Build two rooms and a kitchen first."
Captain Huang: "I can get the bricks and tiles."
Gao Shujing: "Thank you, Captain."
Just as Yu Rujia finished putting things away, Captain Huang's shouts came from outside.
Yu Rujia clapped her hands and walked out: "Captain, what's wrong?"
Captain Huang probed, "Has Yu, the educated youth, ever worried about safety while living here alone?"
Yu Rujia calmly replied, "I've trained since I was a child. I can take on several ordinary people. Safety shouldn't be a concern. Captain, is there any other arrangement you're asking this about?"
Captain Huang: "Here's the thing, the newly arrived educated youth wants to move out of the educated youth compound and plans to build his own house. He's chosen your location. What do you think?"
Yu Rujia already knew about this. She thought Gao Shujing would take some time to make a move, but she didn't expect him to act so quickly. It seems she will be able to relax a bit soon.
Yu Rujia: "I'm fine. If Gao Zhiqing dares to do anything to me, he'll be the one who gets beaten up."
Captain Huang chuckled, “It’s a good thing that Yu Zhiqing is so confident. But Gao Zhiqing is a college graduate, a pale-faced scholar, so he shouldn’t be a threat to Yu Zhiqing.”
Yu Rujia: "Then there's no problem at all. Captain, please make the arrangements."
Captain Huang arrived quickly and left quickly. After seeing everyone off, Yu Rujia returned and planned to take out the dishes and chopsticks she had used that morning to wash them, but found that a stack of bowls was missing. She looked around but couldn't find them.
The twins were playing outside, and Duoxi sat on the mat watching them, clapping her hands and making baby talk to cheer them on, but she couldn't see Duofu's little figure.
