Chapter 464 Two people came
Si Zhu had just made an important decision in his life when he saw Qin Huairu walking in from the door.
The face is haggard, the eyes are downcast, and under the light, the figure behind him is elongated, and is very slender when reflected on the door.
When Sha Zhu saw it, his heart softened. How could he be willing to let Qin Huairu look like this?
"Zhuzi, sister, please help."
Qin Huairu's voice was hoarse, like a cuckoo crying for blood, which sounded very desolate to Silly Zhu's ears.
“Sister Qin, tell me!”
Sister Qin’s voice made Qin Huairu feel reassured.
Silly Zhu is still the same Silly Zhu.
Even if she changes, she can be tamed back.
"Now that Dongxu is gone, whether he is a helper or a guest, he has to make two tables..."
As soon as Silly Zhu heard this, he understood in his heart what Qin Huairu was here for.
At this time, everyone participating in the white ceremony will not come empty-handed, and the host family also has to say hello.
"Sister Qin, what do I think this is? Don't worry, leave Brother Dongxu's funeral to me, and I will definitely handle it beautifully for you."
"Zhuzi, you... ”
Qin Huairu saw that Silhu was talking normally, but was not as eager as before, so she suddenly sobbed violently, and tears flowed from her red eyes.
"Thank you, sister. Brother Dongxu has left, leaving the whole family behind. I..., how can I live without your help."
Woooo...
Qin Huairu started crying, and Sha Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Sister Qin, I've seen you, I've seen you."
Qin Huairu held Sha Zhu's arm and leaned against Sha Zhu. On the pillar.
The soft body, the careless touch at this moment, made Silly Zhu's heart tremble.
"Sister Qin, I."
Qin Huairu allowed Silly Zhu to move. It was worth the effort.
"Zhuzhu, sister, I will rely on you from now on."
"Sister Qin, don't worry! I am still here in this courtyard. If you have anything to say, no one will dare to bully you."< br>
Um?
The palm is even more careless, it is an uncontrollable existence.
Not long after, Qin Huairu fiddled with her hair, left Shazhu's house, and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.
Afterwards, we visited the second uncle’s house, the third uncle’s house, and even the houses of several people who helped today, and thanked each one.
Whether it was sincere or just a pretense, everyone in the yard felt that Qin Huairu was able to carry things clearly and get things done.
At night, the trumpet players finish their work at that hour and continue tomorrow.
Silly Zhu came to Jia’s house carrying two lunch boxes.
He wanted the previous advantage, but he was not satisfied. What he wanted was more.
"Aunt Jia, Sister Qin, let's eat something. After a busy day, it's impossible not to eat something."
Si Zhu said, Qin Huairu felt a surge in his heart when he saw it. Warmth, but his face was cold and he shook his head, "The pillar is gone. I can't eat it!"
"Sister Qin, you have to eat something. You have to eat something for the sake of the child in your belly."
As Silly Zhu said, Jia Zhang's stomach had already growled and her eyes were fixed on her. The lunch box was just about snatched away.
The same goes for Banggan and Xiaodang next to them. They just ate a cold bun and were already hungry.
"Huai Ru, eat something, we have to keep vigil tonight."
Jia Zhang opened her mouth to persuade, and Silly Zhu on the side did the same.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu nodded in agreement.
Soon, the four of them started eating in front of Jia Dongxu’s soul.
Yi Zhonghai stood in front of the door and watched Sha Zhu deliver food to the Jia family. Auntie laughed from behind, "Old Yi, it seems that Sha Zhu still has a conscience."
Yi Zhonghai Zhong Hai nodded, "Let's help him in the future."
The next day, when Yang Xiaotao went out, the sound of the suona at the door was already ringing.
Look around, people in the courtyard are going to work and busy.
Except for Yi Zhonghai who took leave to help in the hospital, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui both went to work.
Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday, which happens to be Jia Dongxu’s third birthday, so he has time to attend the funeral.
After Yang Xiaotao arrived at the steel rolling mill, he went straight to the first workshop.
Sun Guo came to the workshop early and checked it again, just like when he left yesterday.
After Yang Xiaotao arrived, he began to assemble the steam engine.
Sun Guo didn’t dare to disturb, but just watched quietly.
After a while, Xu Yuanshan and Yang Youning came after receiving the news, and many people from the workshop gathered around them.
Yang Xiaotao asked a few workers he knew to help, holding a board in his hand, and skillfully put the parts together one by one.
“We need welding here!”
Yang Xiaotao raised his head and said, Sun Guo immediately arranged for people. After a while, a seventh-level welder came over with a guy and started working at Yang Xiaotao's designated location.
The welding rod buzzed and sparks kept flying out.
People around me instinctively squinted their eyes to protect their eyeballs.
After a while, the welder finished. After Yang Xiaotao checked it, he continued the installation.
The steam engine has many parts, and a lot of them need to be welded. With the cooperation of several people, each accessory is installed in place.
After the big parts were installed, Yang Xiaotao installed the belts and leather strips he bought in place.
The first steam engine was not assembled until noon.
Yang Xiaotao wiped the sweat from his forehead and took off his fault scanning glasses. There was no abnormality in the newly assembled steam engine in his field of vision, which made him relieved.
Then he nodded to the people waiting nearby.
Yang Youning couldn't wait any longer. When he saw Yang Xiaotao getting up, he immediately came over to take a look, and then confirmed, "Try?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "You can try it. If there is any problem, it can be solved as soon as possible."
With the approval, Sun Guo immediately found briquettes and started to light them in the stove.
Everyone gathered around the steam engine and watched. Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and personally inspected and cleaned it.
After a while, the flames of the stove were steaming, and the sound of boiling water could be heard.
Sun Guo was a little nervous and kept staring at the flywheel, as if the wheel would start moving in the next second.
But the more he looked, the more anxious he became, "Why don't you turn around?"
On the side, Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan also frowned. Could it be that they failed?
Yang Xiaotao pushed his eyes, then stepped forward in the eyes of everyone, put his hand on the wheel, pushed hard, the wheel rotated, and then saw the connecting rod connecting the flywheel crankshaft move.
And this move cannot be stopped.
“You need to give it a force.”
Yang Xiaotao said with a smile. The people around him suddenly realized. Sun Guo even raised his forehead and laughed, "I was scared to death. I thought it was not possible." Shouted, "Find someone to test it, This wheel is not spinning slowly."
Sun Guo ran away immediately, and Yang Youning also touched his chin, "Indeed, it feels pretty strong."
Everyone gathered around the steam engine and gave constant instructions.
Yang Xiaotao was also watching, thinking that it would be quick to use it to dig wells.
Siheyuan
There are constant bursts of mourning and music at the entrance. The two musicians sit alone for a while. Every time someone comes, they will enter the state and tell the people in the courtyard that someone is coming.
Jia Zhang was still sitting at the door, looking outside the courtyard from time to time.
At this moment, it is almost noon, and logically the people who should come should have come long ago, but now, the people in the courtyard are all old people from the surrounding alleys.
These people are here to repay a favor. They go through the motions. The gift money is not much, just a few cents plus a few or a dozen pieces of yellow paper. Then they come to register and say a few words to the family members. Well, that's it.
No matter how much the gift is, the host has to take care of the meal.
For this reason, Shazhu asked someone to ask for leave from the factory. Regardless of whether the director agreed or not, he stayed in the courtyard anyway.
Meals are being prepared at the moment.
Of course, the food is shipped by Yi Zhonghai, the ingredients are bought by Auntie, and Silly Zhu prepares his own seasonings.
After I finished my busy work this morning, I prepared two tables of dishes and placed them in the middle courtyard, ready for dinner at any time.
People from nearby are communicating in the yard. Today is the second day, and this scene will happen again tomorrow.
Because it was a simple matter, so based on the principle of doing things plainly, and the money given by Yi Zhonghai was not much, Shazhu cooked only vegetarian dishes, no meat dishes, and no tobacco or alcohol was used.
The four large flower plates in the pot are filled with hot vegetables, which look good in color, and the four small butterflies are filled with pickles, which are placed in the cupboard, waiting to be served.
Of course, in this hot dish, only tofu can be eaten, and the rest should look good on the plate.
Everyone who attends a funeral knows this and generally does not move.
You can eat pickles, but not much.
So Shazhu is done with his work today, so it will be easier to cook tomorrow.
Of course, he will not tell Qin Huairu this. Instead, he will let Qin Huairu see that he has done a lot and worked hard.
This way he can continue to earn some benefits.
"Huairu, have you told your family?"
Jia Zhang watched for a while. Not only did the Jia family's family not come, but Qin Huairu's natal family also didn't show up.
Jia Dongxu is a junior, so it’s okay if Father Qin and Mother Qin don’t come, but there must be a few people of the same generation.
Qin Huairu looked at the empty yard and felt uneasy.
“I asked someone to bring back the news yesterday! Maybe on the way!”
“Oh!”
Mrs. Jia Zhang responded, mentally calculating how much money she could receive as a gift this time.
"Mom, where's the one on your end?"
Qin Huairu suddenly asked, Jia Zhang's face froze and she lowered her head and said nothing.
I haven’t had any contact with my family in the past few years, and I am afraid that the village will take her back, so I actively cut off contact with her. This time I didn’t even say hello, so no one would come.
"Mom doesn't have any relatives at home, and we don't have any contact with each other, so it's better not to get involved."
Jia Zhang smiled forcefully, but Qin Huairu ignored her.
As the saying goes, good things come uninvited and white things come uninvited.
If the relationship was really good, I would have sent some paper money after hearing the news.
The two of them didn't speak, but Qin Huairu was waiting for someone from Jia's hometown. After all, Jia Dongxu's burial place had to be decided.
Otherwise, when the festival comes, there won’t even be a place to visit the graves, which would be miserable.
In the front yard, Yan Fugui came back quickly on his bicycle. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Yi Zhonghai talking to Silly Zhu.
"Hey, Mr. Silly Zhu, are you busy here?"
Yan Fugui got in the car and straightened out his clothes.
Si Zhu ignored him. The events of the past few days were not over yet. If he wasn't busy with the Jia family, he wouldn't even bother to take a look.
Yan Fugui didn't care either. Silly Zhu had such a temper, and the more he took him seriously, the more annoyed he became.
"Lao Yan, aren't you at work? Why are you back so early?"
Yi Zhonghai has a lot on his mind and speaks without emotion.
"I, I have no classes in the afternoon, and I am busy with work in the courtyard, so I will come back to help."
"Help? It's not lunch time yet, come back and have some food. You."
Si Zhu showed no mercy and exposed Yan Fugui's little thoughts.
Yan Fugui was not angry, "What? There are a lot of people here, right?"
"You don't know how to read, and your ears don't work well before you retire?"
> Silly Zhu continued to choke, and the smile on Yan Fugui's face disappeared. Silly Zhu said again and again that the clay figurine was still very angry.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw two people coming from behind.
Two young men, wearing patchwork clothes, with messy hair and yellow complexions.
When I drove to the door, I asked the three of them.
“Is this Jia Dongxu’s home?”
One person spoke, and the other put down the bag on his shoulder.
"Yes, it belongs to Jia Dongxu."
Yi Zhonghai quickly spoke, and the two looked at each other, "Finally found it."
"Who are you?"
"We are Jia Dongxu's cousins. We came here after receiving the news."
The older one spoke.
“Ah, my family is here, come in quickly.”
Yi Zhonghai quickly let Sha Zhu lead him in.
Then he stood at the door and continued waiting, but looking left and right, the alley was still empty.
"Old Yi, you said, there can't be just two of them."
Yan Fugui whispered, and Yi Zhonghai didn't know the situation.
In recent years, he didn’t know much about Jia Dongxu’s family, and for the sake of his retirement plan, he didn’t want Jia Dongxu to be too involved, so that he didn’t know the situation there.
"Wait and see! Maybe they are all working in the fields."
"It will be here soon!"
