It was around six o'clock in the evening when the brothers He Daqing and Cai Quanwu returned to the courtyard together.
Today, both of them went to the train station. There were so many people there. They did more than ten trips, one after another. The minimum wage for each trip was 30 cents, which means each of them earned more than five yuan in total.
It’s more than ten yuan for two people.
This is so much money they earn in a day that the wrinkles on the two brothers' faces are almost gone with laughter.
On the way back, I met a man selling pig ears. I bought some and planned to go home and have a drink together to celebrate. Such a good deal is rare.
However, as soon as the two of them returned to the courtyard, they met Yan Fugui, who had been guarding the door waiting for them to come back so that he could gossip with them.
"Lao He, Lao Cai."
From a distance, Yan Fugui called out to them loudly.
"Old Yan, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He Daqing thought something had happened, so he pedaled faster, quickly returned to the courtyard gate, looked at Yan Fugui and asked.
"Haha, something's going on. Something very good."
Yan Fugui laughed and even made a bowing gesture: "Old He, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Congratulations?"
He Daqing and Cai Quanwu were both confused. What had happened and why were they congratulating each other?
"You know I made five dollars today?"
He Daqing asked with some confusion.
"What, you made five dollars a day?"
Hearing this, Yan Fugui almost jumped up. It was a robbery, right? What kind of thing could he do to earn only five dollars a day?
Is this how you make money by riding a tricycle?
"If it's not about this, then what is there to congratulate?" He Daqing was also puzzled.
He looked at He Daqing and Cai Quanwu with envy and jealousy, then stared at their tricycles, wondering if he should also get a tricycle and go out to work.
Five dollars a day, which is one-eighth of his salary.
It just so happens that it’s winter vacation, and there will be more people riding tricycles, so I can definitely make a few dollars a day.
The more I think about it, the more excited I become. There's nothing I can do about it. A money-hungry person like Yan Fugui wants to do whatever he sees others doing to make money.
However, he didn't know that in terms of his physique, he was no match for He Daqing and Cai Quanwu. Not to mention pulling eight or ten trips a day, even one trip would cost him his life.
With a plan in mind, Yan Fugui's jealousy subsided a lot. After all, he would be able to earn that much in the future. It was just a matter of time, so there was no need to be jealous.
Returning to the previous topic, Yan Fugui squinted his eyes and smiled, "Old He, you didn't even know that Sha Zhu has brought his wife back home."
"Silly Zhu, bring your wife back?"
This made the He Daqing brothers stunned at the same time. When did Sha Zhu say he wanted to get married?
No, she did say it once, saying that she fell in love with Xu Damao’s sister-in-law, but she said she still had to go to school, so why did she marry him?
"real?"
After all, it was his son getting married, so He Daqing smiled.
"Of course it's true. I heard that the certificate has been obtained. Look, he just brought his wife and child back home. They are at home. You can see them when you go back."
"Wife and children?"
He Daqing was originally grinning from ear to ear, as his son's marriage was something worth being happy about, but at this moment he caught the key words in Yan Fugui's words.
"Yes, my wife and children."
Yan Fugui smiled and said, "You know what, the wife Sha Zhu found is really pretty, and the kids are pretty good too, they greet everyone they see and are quite well-behaved."
"How many more children?"
He Daqing's smile froze completely. He stared at Yan Fugui in disbelief: "Sha Zhu found a widow with several children?"
"That's right, with three children, two girls and a boy."
Yan Fugui also realized that something was wrong. Why did he feel that Lao He didn't know that Sha Zhu was going to get married?
Now that Sha Zhu has brought his wife home, it is impossible for him to explain to the people in the courtyard things that he has not yet told his family.
Therefore, except for Jia Dongsheng and Xu Damao, the neighbors in the courtyard had no idea that Sha Zhu had married a wife on his own initiative.
"This brat, no, I have to go find him."
Having said that, he no longer cared about the tricycle and ran quickly towards home.
Cai Quanwu looked at He Daqing who ran into the yard, smiled and said to Yan Fugui: "Uncle, give me a hand and help me get this car into the yard."
"No problem, no problem."
Yan Fugui also felt that he had guessed it. After all this time, marrying a widow was actually Sha Zhu's own behavior. He was puzzled. Although Lao He also liked to run away with widows, at least Sha Zhu's mother was a grown-up girl back then!
Even if you like a widow, you have to marry a grown-up girl first. There is no grown-up man who would marry a widow directly.
Originally he thought it was Lao He who was out of tune, but it seems that it was Sha Zhu himself who was out of tune!
He Daqing ran back home quickly. As soon as he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw a woman with a good figure, fair skin and beautiful appearance, cooking. Her silly son, who usually cooked, was sitting beside her with his legs crossed, looking very leisurely.
"Dad, you're back."
Seeing He Daqing come in, Sha Zhu immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Xiuru, come here quickly, let me introduce you, this is our father."
"Dad, this is my wife, Yang Xiuru. You can just call her Xiuru."
"Hello, Dad."
Yang Xiuru was very well-behaved. She lowered her head slightly and greeted him. While speaking, she also secretly glanced at He Daqing. Her first impression was that he had so many wrinkles on his face!
"Um... Okay, okay, you too."
He Daqing responded with a stutter, but looked at Yang Xiuru with shining eyes, wondering how this woman was so suitable to be his wife.
That’s right, not being a daughter-in-law, but being a daughter-in-law.
He also had the gene that liked widows, and he fell in love with Yang Xiuru at first sight.
There's no way, Yang Xiuru's young lady temperament is too lethal.
Even if the clothes she wears are not fashionable, just like the Fairy Sister in later generations, who has worn a red down jacket for more than ten years, you still want to own her when you see her.
Their attractiveness will not be reduced by what they wear.
"It's just that I met her a little late. Now she's become my daughter-in-law. What should I do?"
He Daqing nodded calmly, maintaining his usual expressionless face: "Silly Zhu, come on, let's go inside and talk."
"Why."
Sha Zhu also nodded. He also had something to say to He Daqing. He wanted his wife to warm the bed tonight. He also wanted to feel the feeling of having a woman in bed with him.
After entering the inner room, He Daqing saw three little kids lying on the kang, sleeping soundly.
I followed Sha Zhu from Liangxi Commune to the city during the day, and ran around with Sha Zhu. I was already exhausted, so I fell asleep before finishing my meal.
