Scholars in the courtyard

"Zhuzi, did you listen to what I told you last time?"

In the backyard of the deaf old lady's house, Silly Zhu was setting out food.

Recently, the old lady's health is getting worse day by day, the cheeks on her face are almost sunken, her spirit is very low, and her whole person gives Silly Zhu the feeling that she will die soon.

Silly Zhu's recent visit was so frequent that the uncle even praised Silly Zhu in person, saying that loving the old and caring for the young is a virtue that has been carried forward in him and is worthy of publicity by the street office.

Silly Pillar giggled.

If the street office publicizes it, it will definitely be very important to his reputation.

With a good reputation, he can have more confidence to go on blind dates.

Besides, there were so many old people in this courtyard, and the only one who really deserved his service and who really understood his stupidity was the old lady.

He was too stupid to look down on the others.

"What's the matter?"

Silly Zhu completely forgot.

The deaf old lady hit Silly Zhu on the butt with a stick.

"Old lady, if you have something to tell me, how do I know about it?"

"You little monkey doesn't have a long memory. I told you about Lou Xiao'e last time, did you go and do it?"

"Ah? Lou Xiao'e?"

Silly Zhu reacted, shaking his head and waving his hands.

"No chance, no chance."

"I got angry when I said it. We are all the same. Who is worse than whom? That guy, before I could finish speaking, became anxious. It was as if I was chasing her. It's annoying!"

"Old lady, I am a eldest lady, and her life is pampered. Her temper is naturally incompatible with our poor family. Don't worry about it."

Silly Zhu helped the old lady to the table.

"Zhuzi, I've been watching Lou Xiao'e for several years. This girl is a bit stupid, but she is honest and not the kind of person you said."

The old lady still didn't believe it. In her opinion, it was Silly Zhu's opportunity to continue filling her relationship after Lou Xiao'e's divorce.

Moreover, they both know each other, and no one can tell anyone about their background. With common aspirations, it shouldn't be difficult to get together.

Silly Zhu's face twisted.

"Is she stupid? She is stupid, but now she is following Yang Xiaotao, and she can live comfortably as a lover."

"You know you were digging a well in the yard a few days ago. Good guy, today it was broadcast directly in the factory, and the whole factory was notified."

"One workshop started working directly, with a hundred well-drilling machines. Several guys in our yard followed suit, and they were all grinning like assholes."

Silly Zhu felt depressed and talked to vent his anger.

"Otherwise, if that fucker isn't at home, I guess those people in the courtyard will have to go out and treat him to drinks tonight."

"A bunch of snobs, why do they find these people as neighbors? It makes them upset just looking at them."

Silly Zhu cursed and the deaf old lady looked gloomy.

As long as this matter had something to do with Yang Xiaotao, she would feel uncomfortable.

Especially after knowing something from other channels, I felt even more inexplicable.

Unfortunately, with her body, she couldn't last long.

And Yang Xiaotao is like a ghost, very vigilant.

Even the member of his family didn't like to see her on weekdays, and he didn't even let her find a chance to retaliate.

Now, she just hopes that she will be able to bear the child who got out of here. When the time comes...

A hint of evil flashed in the eyes of the deaf old lady, "I am already in my dying years, so while I can still move, do something for the little butterfly."

Thinking in his heart, his withered right hand silently touched his chest, where there was a scar, a scar caused by burns.

The erosion of time causes the skin to lose its original color, and the traces under the scars cannot be seen.

"Zhuzi, what do you think?"

The deaf old lady came back to her senses and looked at Silly Zhu again.

She had watched this child grow up since he was a child.

She has no descendants in her life, and her only apprentice is far apart. She doesn't know if she will be able to meet him in the future.

Silly Zhu is her grandson.

If she could see Silly Zhu getting married, she could let go of any ties.

Silly Zhu hesitated, unable to come up with an idea about finding a wife.

As for Qin Huairu, they are just wild flowers, how can you tell?

"Why!"

"You, you have to hurry up. Grandma, I may leave on a certain day. What I'm thinking about most is your important event."

"Listen to grandma's advice and find one now. After thirty, you..."

Silly Zhu lowered his head, feeling inexplicably anxious. He was already mature, but if he got older, he would look even older.

"Old lady, don't worry, I'll let you have wedding candy this year."

Silly Zhu could only pat his chest in assurance.

But the old lady shook her head. This kind of assurance, year after year, she heard more and more, and she really felt like she was deaf and had auditory hallucinations.

There was silence in the room. Silly Zhu felt unhappy and quickly left the room.

In the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was sitting at home feeling sad.

What happened in the workshop today made him feel that his position was in danger.

In the past, he had established prestige by virtue of his status as an eighth-level fitter, whether in the factory or in the courtyard.

Because of this, the plan can be implemented safely.

But if one's own status is challenged, even if it is not lowered, the improvement of others will be one's own decline.

The gap in between must not be shortened.

"It seems that we need to put in more effort to make the factory see value!"

Yi Zhonghai made a decision in his heart, but Liu Haizhong's face in the backyard was full of decadence.

"Dad, our factory will organize a party tomorrow, please give me some money!"

Liu Guangtian stood aside and said, completely unaware of the disappointed look in his bangs.

In other words, he has seen this a lot and is used to it.

The second aunt on the side heard this and hurriedly came over to ask.

"Friendship? Within your factory?"

Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "I work in both the thermos bottle factory and the electric lighting factory. I heard that many female workers participated."

"Oh, then this is worth a snack."

Then he looked at Liu Haizhong, "His father, how much do you want to give him?"

Liu Haizhong slowly raised his head and snorted coldly, "How can you earn your own money?"

"You're asking for money from us when you get a wife, you're a loser!"

Liu Guangtian had a troubled look on his face, "Dad, what you said is wrong."

"I have only been working for a long time, and I have always been an apprentice. I go out to socialize with other people from my salary, and there is no surplus left over from miscellaneous things."

"Besides, the wages in the thermos bottle factory are not high, and they are not like those in the steel rolling mill. The benefits are good, and how much you can earn..."

boom

Liu Guangtian was just concentrating on talking and didn't see Liu Haizhong's expression getting worse and worse.

The steel rolling mill is getting better and better, but it has nothing to do with Liu Haizhong.

Especially since the ascending channel has been cut off, listening to this is just exposing his scars.

ah…

Bang bang

After a while, people in the backyard heard screams again, and everyone took it for granted.

Xu Damao smiled proudly when he heard the screams, and Liu Haizhong only had this ability.

Thinking about going to Guanjiazhuangzi to watch a movie tomorrow, my heart couldn't help but sway.

"What a pity. If Yu Haitang was willing, we wouldn't have to spend this unnecessary money!"

Xu Damao touched his wallet with some pain. Since Lou Xiao'e's divorce, the family didn't have much money.

"Five minutes, two dollars, that's too much."

Xu Damao sighed, "One dollar, not fifty cents, no more!"

The next day, when people went to work, they saw Liu Guangtian covering his face and his hands were red and swollen.

Those who knew the inside story were sighing, and it was probably a bit difficult to make friends.

In the days that followed, I could always hear the angry sounds in my bangs, and there was constant crackling at home.

Today it is Liu Guangtian, and tomorrow it will be Liu Guangfu. Both brothers have become the punching bag of Liu Haizhong, and they are beaten in different ways every day.

Even the second aunt went up and said a few words, but was scolded by Liu Haizhong.

The family is supported by bangs. If they want to live a decent life, they have to endure this paternalistic education.

As for the other families in the courtyard, they all lived a fulfilling life.

The well-drilling machine in the workshop is busy, and the workers in the steel rolling mill in the yard are tired and happy every day.

The three uncles in the front yard ride their bikes and fish after get off work, and they always get something.

The third aunt took care of the family affairs. Now both Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li can make money, and their family fortune has begun to accumulate bit by bit.

Only the belly of the eldest daughter-in-law was married earlier than Ran Qiuye, so why hasn't there been any movement yet?

In the backyard, Xu Damao went to the countryside again.

Although Si Zhu is determined to catch the traitor, he has a lot of things to do in the kitchen.

But without Yang Xiaotao, there are less things going on in the middle courtyard, at least nothing that is an eyesore.

However, in this peaceful life, the sorrow on Jia Zhang's face never disappeared.

She has been having a very hard time these days.

Since the last time she pointed at Silly Zhu and scolded her, she has found that her family's quality of life has shrunk sharply.

First, Shazhu stopped giving him a lunch box, and then Qin Huairu went to the uncle's house to borrow food. In the end, it was all stick noodles, and there was only a little bit, which was enough for a few days.

For meals these days, I only have a bowl of glutinous rice paste, a few bowls of steamed buns, and a small plate of pickles and radish heads.

She was thinking of going out to have a tooth ceremony, but the two children at home didn't know if Qin Huairu had specifically told her that BangGeng and XiaoDang would follow her wherever she went.

If this happens, she won't have a chance to go out.

All the money in the family was obviously in her hands. If Qin Huairu knew this and went out to eat behind her back, it would be weird to have a falling out when he came back.

If word spreads, her reputation as an evil mother-in-law will be established.

Therefore, these days, Jia Zhang can only fight with Qin Huairu to see who can survive first.

In contrast, Qin Huairu was very calm.

In order to rectify the Jia Zhang family, they all had the same meal every day. She ate what Jia Zhang family ate.

Jia Zhang's belly was short of oil and water, she didn't eat much, and she still had one in her belly.

However, she is better than Jia Zhang, that is, every time she goes to the uncle's house, she can get something to eat from there. The aunt got the uncle's instruction not to send anything to the Jia family, but Qin Huairu came to the door, so she couldn't Why don't you give it?

Anyway, it was leftover food at home, and Qin Huairu didn't mind it.

So, just like that, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt that her body had lost weight, her eyes were a little green, her mouth tasted faint, and everything looked like meat.

But she also understood that it was Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai who were embarrassing her, and she even thought that there must be some shadow of Qin Huairu in it.

I just didn't expect Qin Huairu to be so cruel. In order to fight with her, he would hurt himself eight hundred times and even ignore the stick.

But, if this continues, both sides will suffer losses.

One side is related to the lintel of the Jia family, and the other side is his own belly.

If I really have to make a choice, I'm really hesitant.

A few more days passed, and it was Qingming Festival in a blink of an eye.

After the fight between Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu lasted for more than half a month, they finally couldn't stand it anymore.
