Chapter 1268 The Little Widow in the Siheyuan 2
Zhang Yu woke up again and could see the simple furnishings in the house through the moonlight outside the window.
Good guy, the little system actually dug a hole for her. I said before that she was a young widow from a courtyard in the capital. She had no parents-in-law to take care of, no man to worry about, and her children were sensible.
But the system didn’t say that she came to the Sihe Banquet in the 1950s and 1960s.
Zhang Yu is too familiar with this era. Now she can only pray, hoping that it will not be 60 years. If it is, she will really complain to the system every minute.
Zhang Yu was very angry, but she couldn't yell so loud that the neighbors would think something was wrong with her.
I closed my eyes and started to accept the task. I found that although it was not 60 years, it was not much better. It was actually 58 years.
Next year will be 1959, the year when natural disasters began. Oh my god, Zhang Yu took a breath.
I kind of understand why the system generously gave her some space.
And it’s still a 5-square-meter space. Originally, she said that the people in the system are very nice. Even after she was promoted, they never forgot to be kind to her as a task worker.
It turned out that it was to shut her mouth first. She could think of what the other party would say even if she went to the system to settle accounts later, and how the space given would help her complete the task.
Zhang Yu once again gave the system a thumbs up. When he returns, he will definitely let him chat.
I have never seen such a deceptive system. It’s too much. It’s really too much.
But fortunately, she was not allowed to go directly to 1959, otherwise she would have collapsed. Even if there was space, there would be no place for her to put her things.
Zhang Yu, who didn't have time to think too much, went directly to calculate the money left by the original owner's family.
Although many of them are now purchased with coupons, there is also a pigeon market. Things are a bit more expensive than supply and marketing cooperatives and vegetable markets, but the good thing is that no tickets are required.
The most important thing now is of course buying food. People are iron and rice is steel, which shows the importance of food.
Store grains, even whole grains, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., you have to stock up. Anyway, if you put them in the system, you don’t need to worry about mold and insects.
By the way, if possible, buy more lard. That’s a good thing. If there is no meat supply, you can have lard rice.
This thing can be used for a long time, yes, that's it. While looking for things, Zhang Yu remembered all the things he needed to buy in his mind.
He quickly searched through all three rooms, and quickly dug out two jars from a side room according to the memory of the original owner.
Zhang Yu's eyes immediately went straight, "This should be the treasure in the original owner's memory?"
That's right, although I just briefly went through the original owner's memory, Zhang Yu didn't have the key content. miss.
For example, in the 1960s, this house was exchanged for food at a low price. In fact, there were valuable things inside.
As for what it is, the original owner doesn’t know, but he knows that the person who got the house started to get rich in the 1980s, and it was said that he made money by being a troublemaker.
The original owner thought so too, but once he heard them quarreling, he learned the story of their fortune.
What makes the original owner even more angry is that they already knew there was something inside, so they set up the trap.
Now, of course, this wealth cannot be distributed to them, and Zhang Yu is too lazy to dig out the jar. That would be really tiring.
Just take out the contents. As for what to put inside, Zhang Yu also thought about it and put the soil in it. Otherwise, there will be two more jars, and the neighbors will ask questions, and it will be easier to alert others.
Zhang Yu, who filled the soil back again, was really tired, "Tired, really tired."
It wasn't that Zhang Yu had become weak, but that the man had just passed away, and the woman couldn't bear the blow, so she followed suit. If she didn't have a pair of children who needed her to take care of her, she might have just followed him.
But his body was also a lot weak. Zhang Yu persisted to the bedside and collapsed directly from exhaustion.
“Huh, this body is really a waste.” It’s so useless, it’s really such a waste. It’s so tiring even though it’s just digging holes in the house without doing anything. Fall down.
“It’s better to take good care of your body.” Only with good health can you take better care of the two children. Otherwise, how can a weak widowed mother bring up two children.
Especially in this quadrangle with four entrances, there were so many people staring at a frail widow with two children living in three east wing rooms.
Only when she is strong, she will not be plotting against others. The top priority now is of course to keep the job left by the man. In another ten years, it will be really hard to find a job, let alone a formal one. Workers, even temporary workers, can break their heads.
The original owner just had no opinion and was in poor health. With some coaxing from his neighbors, he sold the job at a bargain price.
Zhang Yu didn’t want to sell the job this time. He had to keep the job until his children took over.
Zhang Yu has thought about it. Each of the two children will take over and neither of them will need to go to the countryside.
He yawned, turned over, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
When I woke up again, I heard the commotion outside. Alas, in a courtyard with four entrances, the faucets are at the second and third entrance because the yard is large.
Especially the second courtyard is the largest, so it has the most faucets and is used by many people.
It was really lively outside now. Zhang Yu yawned and got up. A few days ago, her work unit was considerate of the death of a man and asked her to handle the funeral at home.
Now that the matter has been settled, Zhang Yu also plans to go to work and stay at home, while the neighbors around him inquire about everything.
At first they were sorry for Zhao Jun's early death and worried about how the three of them, mother and son, would live. Later, they began to care about Zhao Jun's remaining work.
Zhao Jun was a staff member of the propaganda department of a machinery factory, and he died trying to catch thieves in the factory. What everyone thought was that since the company gave him a pension, the job he left behind should be sold at a low price. Neighbors in the courtyard.
Zhang Yu yawned and began to urge Zhao Lei and Zhao Hong to get up.
Hearing Zhang Yu's urging voice, Zhao Lei got up quickly. Zhao Hong kept tossing and turning on the kang, "Mom, I don't want to get up."
Zhao Lei knew that his father was gone now , there is only mother in the family. As the only male in the family, Zhao Lei knew that he had to support the family now and began to coax Xiaohong.
Zhang Yu looked at Zhao Lei who was patiently coaxing his daughter, got out of bed, kicked off the stove, and was about to start making breakfast.
After making breakfast, she went to the faucet to wash her face and brush her teeth. The neighbors were surprised when they saw her.
"Zhang Yu, are you up?" Aunt Zhao opposite looked at Zhang Yu in surprise.
Zhang Yu hummed, "Get up, Zhao Jun has passed away, I have to cheer up, I still have Xiao Lei and Xiao Hong to take care of."
After Zhang Yu washed up, Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly turned around and said, "Aunt Zhao, look, Zhao Jun passed away. He also died for the factory. There should be a solution now."
