Scholars in the courtyard

"You're shameless and you're closing the door yourself?"

"Dongxu, do you think she can..."

Jia Dongxu's eyes were squinted, as if he was sleeping.

I have been lying in bed for the past few days, and I can barely feel my back, and my eyelids are getting heavier day by day.

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, she just said "yes" from her throat without moving her head.

When Jia Zhang saw it, she sighed again.

If the family hadn't run out of food, she...

Forget it, it’s also for this family.

"Zhuzi, you haven't rested yet."

Qin Huairu walked in and saw Shazhu sitting on a chair with his legs spread facing her.

Seeing that it was Qin Huairu, Shazhu had just remembered, but now he stopped moving.

"Sister Qin, you haven't slept either."

"Hey, sister can't sleep. The family is almost in trouble."

Qin Huairu covered her face and said, there was a faint slap mark there.

Silly Zhu looked at the mark on Qin Huairu's face and immediately straightened up, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?"

"Ugh, it's all useless because my sister is useless. The family can't make money, and the children can't have enough to eat. It's all because I, the mother, are useless."

Snapped

Qin Huairu cried and patted her cheek.

"Hey, Sister Qin, what are you doing? Aren't you just ordering food? What did I think it was?"

"I don't have this money, but I need this food. I still have some at home, I'll get it for you."

As Si Zhu said, he was about to get up and get it for Qin Huairu.

"Zhuzi, sister, I really don't know how to thank you. Without your help, our family would really not be able to survive."

"Look what you said, we still have such kind words in our relationship."

Silly Zhu was happy and took advantage of his words.

Qin Huairu saw Shazhu wandering around and was curious, "Zhuzhu, your injury hasn't been healed yet?"

"Is it that serious?"

Silly Zhu shook his head, "It's almost healed, it's just a minor injury."

Qin Huairu took Sha Zhu's food bag, which contained at least ten kilograms.

"It's a minor injury. It's taken so many days for a minor injury to heal?" Qin Huairu didn't believe it. She looked at Shazhu and bit her lip and said, "Sister, let me see what's going on?"

After Si Zhu heard this, his heart trembled. He was about to agree, but he thought that this matter was related to future generations. How could he let others know?

"This, forget it, forget it."

As Si Zhu said, Qin Huairu didn't insist, he just said it casually and pretended to be concerned.

"Zhuzi, there's something else I don't know about, but I'd better not talk about it."

Silly Zhu felt very comfortable in his heart. He couldn't bear it when he heard this, "Sister Qin, you are not open now. Talk about everything together, bit by bit. It's tiring to listen to it."

"Sister, that's what I said."

"Say it quickly."

"Zhuzhu, that's what happened. The situation at my sister's house, ugh. Your brother Dongxu has been confused for a long time recently, the doctor said."

"What did the doctor say?"

Silly Zhu stared, not sure whether he was concerned about Jia Dongxu or Qin Huairu, but he was very serious anyway.

"The doctor said that the condition is getting worse and worse, and he probably won't be able to survive this winter."

"What?"

Silly Zhu smiled in surprise and quickly stopped himself when he spoke, "That's really, really bad."

"Um."

"I, I became a widow at such a young age, what will I do in the future?"

Qin Huairu may be sad about her own experience. She has suffered more than salt in the years since she married into the Jia family, and her blessings have been as sweet as sugar. Except for the wedding, there has never been a second time.

But now, the man in the family has stepped into the gate of hell, and she is even more aware that without dedicated treatment, she cannot pull that foot back.

Leaving is a matter of time.

By then, she would be a widow.

She had seen how difficult it was for widows in the countryside.

She has also seen how pitiful the children are without their parents and living with their grandparents.

She didn't want her children to be left alone.

She also stroked her belly in the middle of the night, hoping that a boy would come out of it and give the family more hope.

And she is willing to give everything for this family.

And Silly Pillar is her best

"Sister Qin, don't worry, brother Dongxu is gone, and I am still there."

"I, I will definitely take good care of you, yours."

Silly Zhu spoke a little excitedly, and told him in his heart that he shouldn't say that. There should be a green and white girl next to him, not a widow.

But seeing Qin Huairu like this, she couldn't help but want to go up and comfort her.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu, the widow, the three children, and the evil mother-in-law were all driven away by this inner desire.

Such a good woman must be loved and loved.

I recall the past feelings in my mind and think about it.

"Pillar, pillar?"

"Ah, hey, Sister Qin, tell me."

Silly Zhu quickly wiped the saliva from his mouth, "What are you talking about?"

Qin Huairu calmed down and said, "Zhuzi, I just wanted to let you, Brother Dongxu, eat well before leaving and live a comfortable life for a few days."

"Sister Qin, you mean..."

"Well, sister knows that you are in charge of the kitchen. You used to bring lunch boxes, but now you do."

Silly Zhu immediately understood what was going on. After the exchange, those annoying supervisors no longer appeared, and he felt that there was no problem.

"Sister Qin, you have to guard against villains in this matter."

"Zhuzhu, you mean."

The stupid thief smiled and said, "You can take this lunch box with you, but I can't give it to you openly."

"You also know that Xu Damao, hehe, he was treated badly by me. If he finds out about this, he won't be able to stab him in the sky. When the time comes, I will have to smash him too."

Qin Huairu came over thinking, "What do you mean, Zhuzhu?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

"For Brother Dongxu's sake, I have to bring out my lunch box."

"From now on, you come here to get it at night and don't let anyone see it."

When Qin Huairu heard what Sha Zhu said, it seemed bad, but for the sake of the lunch box, she might as well come over.

"That's okay, you can get it tomorrow?"

"Get it tomorrow."

After a while, Qin Huairu went out with the flour bag and returned to Jia's house.

Looking at the half bag of fine grains, Mrs. Jia Zhang also forgot the curse she just said, and smiled like a chrysanthemum on her face.

Later, when he heard that there was a lunch box to eat, he smiled even more and kept praising Si Zhu for being sensible and filial.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu cursed mentally. I am a filial person. They have taken a fancy to me as a widow.

Finally, I felt a little proud.

That's her thing.

Don't look at the mother of three children, she can still charm Silly Zhu.

'If Yang Xiaotao were like this...'

Banggeng was holding his buttocks at the side, looking at Xiaoliang, and happily let the steamed buns eat.

Xiaodang wanted to eat steamed buns.

Qin Huairu was also happy to see Xiaodang getting close to her. She said that she would make radish buns tomorrow, and Xiaodang jumped up and down again.

"It stinks!"

Banggeng suddenly smelled a bad smell, and the Jia family was quiet for an instant, and the joy just now was no longer there.

The cold night is over and the weather is sunny again.

In the days that followed, Xu Damao continued to suffer from Silly Zhu in the kitchen, suffering every day.

Shazhu agreed to Qin Huairu to start bringing lunch boxes, and Shazhu was shrewd enough to not only avoid Xu Damao, but also Liu Lan's close friends did not notice.

Even when he returned to the courtyard, Qin Huairu would always go to Shazhu's place to get the lunch box at night. Yang Xiaotao knew about it, but didn't think much about it.

After all, everyone in the compound knew about the relationship between Qin Huairu and Shazhu.

During this period of time, in addition to helping in the workshop, Yang Xiaotao spent other time reading in the office. After returning home, he studied the manufacturing of pressure cookers.

As for the courtyard, every day is exciting.

Silly Zhu worked hard to find work for Xu Damao. Several times he delayed cooking at noon, so he put the blame on Xu Damao, and Xu Damao's salary was deducted several times.

Xu Damao couldn't help it. Who made him offend Silly Zhu?

I don’t want to give in, I don’t want to lose my job in the steel rolling mill, and I still want to become a projectionist again and live the old life.

But in the face of Silly Zhu's aggressiveness, Xu Damao broke the pot and couldn't cook. What the hell is he responsible for as a cook?

And he also saw that this stupid Zhu was targeting him without knowing what was good for him, which was killing the enemy by a thousand and damaging himself by eight hundred.

Didn't you see that the canteen director looked at Silly Zhu in the wrong way?

It is estimated that if this continues, it will not only be him who will be unlucky in the end, but even Silly Zhu will also suffer.

When the time comes, hum.

Xu Damao waited for the opportunity in painful struggle.

As the new year approaches, there are a lot of things going on in the steel rolling mill. The production of heating furnaces has not reduced the output, but has even more tasks.

With the full supply of steel rolling mills, most factories in Sijiu City began to accept heating furnaces.

Wang Fa, Zhou Kui and the others had no time to spare for a day, especially the workers in the installation team, who worked hard to make money.

As for orders from Jinmen, which is not far away, they can only be placed after the new year.

And this also requires arranging people to guide the installation, which is another big project.

However, the workers at the steel rolling mill have no complaints about this. After all, it is all money.

I heard the news from Xu Yuanshan that people from the exchange group had returned to various places and had begun producing heating stoves.

It won't be long before this technology becomes widespread and effective.

On the New Year's Day, Yang Xiaotao finished his work in the morning and came back in the afternoon to take Ran Qiuye to Zhou's house for a walk.

As a result, apart from Zhou's mother and two girls, neither Zhou Kui nor his brothers were at home.

Yang Xiaotao asked about the situation, and Zhou's mother told the truth.

Zhou Kui has never been back home since he joined the installation team of the steel rolling mill. He travels between the factory and the steel rolling mill all day long.

Of course, he earns more money than Zhou Peng, a formal worker.

Moreover, Zhou's mother also said that Zhou Kui had found a partner.

Ran Qiuye immediately asked which girl.

Mother Zhou introduced her generously.

I knew this woman, Yang Xiaotao, and it seems that there was quite a fuss at that time.

This person is Liu Guogang's sister, Liu Yuhua who was introduced by Yi Zhonghai to Shazhu, and later became known as "Zhu Bajie's second aunt".

Ran's mother then talked about how the two got to know each other.

It was a simple meeting. Zhou Kui and Liu Guogang went to the machine repair shop to install a heater, and they met Liu Yuhua, who worked together to earn money. The two of them knew each other and fell in love.

Zhou's mother has no prejudice against Liu Yuhua. Most people these days are "sorghum poles". To grow up like her means that there are still people in the family. Moreover, this girl is a fourth-level blacksmith, can make money, has a sincere mind, and If the eldest brother of her family is together, he won't suffer or be bullied.

Ran Qiuye had never met Liu Yuhua, so she didn't know what was going on.

It was not convenient for Yang Xiaotao to say it while guarding Zhou's mother, so he only waited to explain to her when he got home.

Later in the evening, Zhou Peng ran back in a hurry. It was his fourth sister Zhou Li who found him at the door of the textile factory. If she hadn't heard that Yang Xiaotao was coming, she would still be waiting at the door.

When Zhou Peng returned home, he looked worried. Yang Xiaotao asked, but he just scratched his head in distress.

Then he said that he had fallen in love with a female worker in a textile factory, but she said she was interested in him but not proactive, but she kept going to the movies every time, which made him a little undecided.

Yang Xiaotao knew as soon as he heard this that this silly boy was being fished for.

There are many videos of this kind of fishing for one person in the past life.

I have been influenced by my ears and my eyes, and I have become resistant.

Moreover, the female workers in this textile factory are from low backgrounds, and each of them is provided with food. Naturally, they have a higher vision in choosing a partner.

Although Zhou Peng's conditions are not bad, he is still not qualified in front of this group of 'beauties'.

After Yang Xiaotao heard this, he began to give Zhou Peng advice.

"You have to be relaxed and relaxed when chasing your girlfriend, and you can't make her feel that she has to be the one to do it."

"If you shave your head and pick a hothead, you will lose the initiative. In the end, even if you are together, your family status will not be guaranteed."

"That's what I would do if I were you."

Zhou Peng listened carefully to Yang Xiaotao's instructions, his eyes shining brightly.

It seems as if these "means" can lead to a beautiful woman.

One of them spoke eloquently, and the other listened with gusto, without even noticing the playful smiles of Mother Zhou and Ran Qiuye on the side.

After eating, Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye home.

By the way, when Ran Qiuye heard about "Zhu Bajie's second aunt", he had an even worse impression of Sha Zhu.

But from what Yang Xiaotao said, Liu Yuhua and Zhou Kui are really a good match.

In the back seat, Ran Qiuye suddenly asked, "The trick you gave Zhou Peng sounds very effective."

The sudden words made Yang Xiaotao alert, and his waist felt a little itchy.
