Chapter 914 Take My Sister-in-law Away

"Beep~beep~beep~beep~"

At half past six in late autumn, every household in the courtyard had already lit the lights.

There is no way without lighting the lights. The sun sets after four o'clock and it becomes dark at half past five. It is already dark now.

This year's winter management fee was collected early and we felt comfortable with it, as the lights in the yard were turned on early.

Just like the concierge’s chimney, it’s paid for by everyone anyway, so why not use it?
Those who get off work early go home to clean up and prepare dinner, while those who get off work late gather together and take a walk after coming back.

It’s dark and the roads are unsafe, so people who know each other will go home together after get off work.

Of course, at this time, the streets are crowded with workers going home from get off work. Even if there are scoundrels doing this, they are just looking for trouble.

How early or late you get off work basically depends on whether you have a means of transportation.

People like Qin Huairu and Erdaye who have bicycles get home from get off work early.

People like Lao Qi, who are reluctant and cannot afford to buy a bicycle, have to rely on their own feet to get around, and it is boring to walk alone.

So, darkness is just an excuse. Everyone walks together, and it also creates opportunities for young people who want to date.

Young men and women who have just started dating are shy, and sometimes young men are even shyer than young women.

With an excuse to walk together, you look at me, I look at you, and then we walk together.

Love at this time is both conservative and open, the conservative ones are truly conservative, and the open ones are truly open.

They are so conservative that they feel embarrassed when holding hands, but they are so open-minded that they don’t feel their butts are cold even when they roll on the floor in a deserted place in the middle of winter.

Men, women, old and young gathered together, making it as lively as a courtyard house.

Of course, each family in this courtyard lives their lives differently. The wealthier ones light up a lamp when it gets dark, and don’t care about the lights inside or outside the house. Some people just keep the lights on and feel open-minded.

For example, at an uncle's house, an aunt would turn on all the lights in the house before the uncle came home from get off work, so that her husband could see the light when he entered the yard, which made him feel warm.

As young people say, the happiest thing in life is that no matter how late you get off work, there is always a light on for you.

Oh, some days are lived carefully!

You see, this is the case at the third uncle's house in the front yard. When it gets dark, they only turn on the kitchen light. Third aunt has to cook, and they can't cook in the dark.

When the food is ready, turn off the kitchen lights and turn on the living room lights. Let's all gather together to eat and don't waste electricity.

It seems that there are still many residents who care about electricity bills. Just listen, every time at this time, there are always adults in the yard urging children to eat quickly and do their homework quickly after eating.

Someone asked, why haven’t I heard them care so much before, and why they always turn on the lights when children play.

The reason is that the charging method for electric lights and electrical appliances has changed, and you no longer need to check the light bulb with your finger.

I don't know which evil person invented this bad thing called the electricity meter, which makes every household pay a lot more electricity bills every month.

The high-wattage light bulbs that were previously used have been replaced with low-wattage ones, and in order to save money, people even stop lighting lamps and use kerosene lamps instead.

In order to save electricity, the third uncle's family even turns the volume of the box to the lowest level when listening to it. It is said that this saves electricity!
The whole family was like thieves, with their ears pricked up in front of the radio speaker, and they couldn't breathe too loudly for fear of disturbing other people's listening experience.

Never underestimate the diligence and thriftiness of the Chinese people. Sometimes they are willing to do so even at the cost of their health and lives.

Take kerosene lamps as an example. There are often power outages at this time. Some are due to power rationing, some are due to broken power lines, or some are due to fire. There are all kinds of reasons.

The electricity is out, but people cannot stop and have to continue living their lives.

Therefore, every family has a power outage weapon, either a candle lamp or a kerosene lamp.

Kerosene is cheaper than candles, and good candles are as expensive as eggs.

There is one bad thing about it: lighting kerosene makes your throat sore and it's not very friendly to your respiratory tract.

It is clear that people from earlier times knew that electricity was even more inconvenient at that time, and every household used kerosene lamps.

There are students who study at night, and when they go out the next morning, not only are their faces covered with dust, but their noses are also pitch black.

Those who know him would think that he studied hard last night, while those who don’t would think that he went down the mine to dig coal.

But is kerosene really more economical than electricity?

If you do the math, it's not necessarily true that much can be saved, after all, kerosene also has storage costs.

Conditions of use, brightness, adaptability to the environment, etc., if you really use these to save money, it would be really shameful.

The Li family lives a frugal life, but they never save money that should be spent, and never spend money that should be saved.

The old lady sat on the kang, looking at Li Shu while making small clothes and quilts for the unborn baby.

Don’t ever say that the old lady is partial and that she does the food for the eldest son but not the second son.

Li Shu's small clothes and quilts need to be stored in a separate cabinet, but after Gu Ning gives birth, she doesn't need to prepare anything.

Even if it is a baby, the old lady doesn't need to worry about it, Qin Jingru has already prepared for it.

Liu Yin is also doing it at home, but she has to prepare for Li Shu as well, so it’s not that complete.

Zhao Yafang was reading some information in the south room, and Liu Yin was cooking in the main room. They were all busy with their own things and no one spoke. Only Li Shu in the north room was standing by the window and shouting.

At this time every day, her father would appear at the gate of the yard on time to pick her up and take her home.

The little girl has gradually become familiar with this rhythm of life. She takes a Didi to her grandmother's house in the morning and returns home in the evening.

She can meet a lot of people and talk a lot in a day, it's so much fun.

Baba came late today, but she was already standing by the window waiting for him.

Maybe she was in a hurry, or her wife was busy and no one was paying attention to her, so she was bored and kept talking.

It was too bright inside the house and too dark outside, and the lampshade on top of the courtyard gate was a little distance away.

So if Li Shu wanted to see outside clearly, she had to learn from her wife to cover her eyes with her hands and look out by sticking her hands against the glass.

The little girl didn't know why the glass was so clear before but is becoming more and more blurry now.

The blurriness didn't happen all the time, but it only happened when she got close to the glass and tried to cover her eyes to look outside.

Later she found out that it was the breath from her own mouth that blurred the glass.

So the little girl learned a trick from her wife. When the glass was blurry and she couldn't see clearly what was happening outside, she could just wipe it with her little hand and she would be able to see clearly.

"Beep! Beep!"

When Li Shu's little hand wiped the stains on the glass once again, she saw the familiar figure walking into the yard.

"Beep! Beep!"

Li Shu's eyes followed her father's figure from the courtyard gate to the house door, and then from the house door to the inner room. She tiptoed on her little feet and kept shouting, looking extremely happy.

If someone talked to Baba at this time and delayed him from coming in to pick her up, Li Shu would raise her voice to remind Baba that she was calling him.

"Ouch~"

Li Xuewu opened his arms and caught his daughter who ran over from the kang, and sighed: "Did the Madam give us delicious food again? Why is it heavy again~"

"Yaya~"

Li Shu understood Baba's question. She pointed to the cupboard in the main room with her little hand and began to tell Baba what she had eaten.

This Yaya does not mean a little girl that Li Shu ate, but her name for eggs.

When a child reaches the stage of understanding the world, no matter how adults teach her, she will give her own names to the things she sees and feels.

"Oh~ I ate Yaya~How many did you eat?"

Li Xuewu coaxed her, held her in his arms, talked to the old lady and his mother, and also greeted his sister-in-law in the south room.

Zhao Yafang was checking the accounts. She just responded to him and complained about a few of Li Shu's mischievous acts, while she was still busy with her work.

"What are you talking about? Your father and the third brother are coming back?"

"Guodong said that?"

Li Xuewu looked at his mother who asked the question and said, "If he said so, then it is arranged."

As they were talking, the eldest brother and Ji Yuxiu came in from the Chuihua Gate.

Liu Yin took a look outside and helped the two of them push open the door.

"Are we rushing together?"

“Meet at the entrance of the alley”

Ji Yuxiu explained with a smile and reached out to pinch Li Shu's big fat face.

Li Shu was a little afraid of her, and kept pulling back with her little hands to prevent her from pinching her, as if she had been pinched so many times that she was traumatized.

Ji Yuxiu didn't care about this. She liked children, and she liked a devil like Li Shu even more. She ignored Li Shu's objection and snatched her from Li Xuewu's arms.

Li Shu babbled in opposition, but she was too young and her objection seemed so powerless amid the adults' voices.

Perhaps because she got the correct information from her second son, a smile appeared on Liu Yin's face.

I also told them the news that Li Shun and the third brother were coming back.

Li Xuewen was holding a bag in his hand. While listening to his mother, he took out some clothes and cloth.

Liu Yin saw it, patted him on the shoulder and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to bring these things home anymore? What if they affect you?"

"I would like to not take it, but I have to make the final decision~"

Li Xuewen's words were as concise yet sophisticated as always. As he spoke, he pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "You'd better let Xuewu do the talking, otherwise these won't stop."

"What?"

Li Xuewu was about to go and see, Ji Yuxiu stood aside and explained: "Brother brought back clothes from work."

“It’s new clothes.”

Liu Yin continued: "They are all produced in the prison. How can we take them for free? That would make the boss make a mistake."

"Who gave it to me?"

Li Xuewu looked at his eldest brother. The two brothers sat around the eight-immortals table. He also poured a glass of warm water for his eldest brother.

Li Xuewen was also somewhat helpless. He held the teacup and said, "I don't know either. It was probably arranged by Warden Huang. I asked them and they all said they didn't know. Alas~"

"Haha, just keep it if it's given to you."

Li Xuewu watched his mother packing shirts, pants and other things.

It's not anything trendy or special, just clothing products produced in a prison, and some leftover fabrics.

But even if they are scraps, they are still very valuable at this time. Ordinary people don't have the ability to get these.

Scraps can be re-cut to make clothes, shoe uppers, quilt linings, etc.

Many people's clothes are patched, but Li Xuewen can bring ready-made clothes home. How scary is that?

Anyway, it gave Liu Yin, who had lived an honest life all her life, a fright.

She had already told him about it once the last time Li Xuewen brought him back, and she brought him back again this time.

Hearing her second son say this, Liu Yin said in dissatisfaction: "How can you take advantage of the public~"

“Maybe it’s wages, or just salary.”

Li Xuewu smiled and said nonchalantly: "Brother, you don't get any salary there..."

“That’s right~!”

Liu Yin reminded: "Xuewen is paid, right Xuewen?"

“It’s called a subsidy”

Li Xuewen put down the water cup, looked at his second brother and said, "It was given by the finance department of the prison. They said it's remuneration for my classes. I have to refuse it."

As he spoke, he gestured to the clothes his mother had packed and said, "I don't know when they were put in my room. I deliberately didn't take them when I came out, and someone even chased me out and stuffed them into my hands."

"Then take it"

Li Xuewu saw his sister-in-law coming out, waved his hand and said: "The more you care, the more nervous you are, the more problems there are."

"Why don't you talk to Warden Huang yourself?"

Zhao Yafang glanced at Li Xuewen and said, "It's not like he doesn't have a mouth. If he really goes to learn martial arts, his good intentions will turn into a bad thing."

"Haha, that's not the case."

Li Xuewu smiled and understood what his sister-in-law meant. She simply thought that these small favors were due to her relationship with her eldest brother in the prison.

Of course, Huang Gan also intended to take care of him, but if we bring it up openly, everyone would be embarrassed.

These things are precious and rare, but if the Li family really needs them, they are not short of them. This is a matter of friendship.

"If you need it, ask him for it. If you really don't need it, just tell him directly."

Li Xuewu stood up and said to his eldest brother: "Be generous when getting along with them, and take care of each other, so mom doesn't have to worry."

"That's right, you are such a grown-up, why are you acting like a child?"

Zhao Yafang glared at Li Xuewen and said a few words to him in the name of her mother-in-law.

Li Xuewen didn't dare to talk back, he didn't care about it, just let him say it.

It’s okay for my mother to say a few words to my wife, and it’s okay for my younger brother to say a few words.

My second brother didn’t say anything about himself before, but he really did it.

Liu Yin put her worries aside after listening to what the boss said. She now helped Li Xuewu put clothes on Li Shu, fully armed to keep warm.

Li Shu doesn't like wearing so many clothes, as it makes it difficult for her to move freely, especially when getting in the car.

At home, she likes to lie by the window and look out. In the car, she likes to stand on the seat and let the driver hold her and look out the window.

Seeing that she was unwilling to put on her coat, Liu Yin threatened her, "You'll catch a cold. Be careful not to get a runny nose~"

As he spoke, he scratched Li Shu's little nose with his finger, prompting her to put on her clothes obediently.

There is a kind of coldness in this world, which is called grandma feels you are cold.

"If Xiao Ning wasn't at home, I would have eaten before leaving."

Liu Yin picked up Li Shu, who was wrapped up and only had her round little face exposed, and handed her to her second son, still nagging: "It's so cold and choking. Be sure to drink hot water before eating when you get home."

"I understand. Don't worry."

Li Xuewu responded to his mother's advice with a smile. In fact, he also knew that his mother's nagging was just her longing for him when he was not around.

He is already twenty years old. His mother has taught him these common sense since he was a child. He is also a person who cherishes life, so how could he not know them?

But even if he knew, his mother's words were the love he had to enjoy every day.

"Say Goodbye to My Wife"

Li Xuewu held Li Shu, turned her little face backwards, and taught her how to say hello.

Li Shu was obedient. She wanted to take a Didi at this time and did whatever Didi said.

But if she really learned to speak such a long paragraph, she would be too tired, so she spoke briefly and shouted loudly: "Tai!"

"Hey~"

The old lady did answer the questions and was used to grinding her teeth with Li Shu. It would be better if she just left quickly and stopped grinding her teeth with him.

After saying hello, Li Shu patted Baba's shoulder with her little hand, indicating that it was okay and they could set off!

But unexpectedly, Papa taught her again: "Say goodbye to grandma."

"?"

Li Shu twisted her head, which was restricted by too many clothes, and glanced at Baba. Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, she had to shout again: "Hey!"

"Hey~"

Liu Yin knew that her son was deliberately teasing his granddaughter, so when she saw Li Shu's surprised expression, she couldn't help but smile.

Before Li Shu could remind her again, Li Xuewu taught her how to say goodbye to her uncle, aunt and third aunt.

……

"Um~~~"

Li Shu knew that Baba would not leave until she greeted everyone one by one, so she let Baba teach her and greeted everyone in her own way.

In the end, maybe because he was really tired of shouting, or because he was tired in his heart, he even sighed like an adult.

This little look really made everyone in the room laugh, and everyone was laughing at her.

She acted like a little adult, and she knew she was being laughed at. She kicked her legs hard, whined unwillingly, and urged Baba to go faster. I was so embarrassed that I almost died.
Liu Yin also smiled and patted her son on the back, telling him to hurry up, as Xiao Ning at home was waiting anxiously.

After hearing his daughter's reluctance and being urged by her mother, Li Xuewu smiled and went out.

The weather has gotten colder and fewer people are walking around in the yard. Only those who are going to the toilet or doing errands pass by the door.

Seeing Li Xuewu carrying the child out, everyone in the yard greeted him with a smile.

"Hey~ Little Meatball is back home?"

"Hahaha, don't call us little meatballs!"

The seventh brother was used to giving nicknames to the children in the yard. He took care of the two children of the Liu family in the backyard. One was called Yanliqu and the other was called Caoshangfei, both of whom were good at leg and foot skills.

Banggeng from Guanzhongyuan was so crazy that he couldn't be put down, because he liked to climb over the walls and there was no room for him on the ground.

At this moment, Li Shu was as fat as a meatball, and she gave him another small meatball.

Li Shu glanced at his smile and pouted her lips, feeling unwilling in her heart.

This guy is so annoying!
The seventh child didn't notice the child's gaze and was just laughing and joking with Li Xuewu.

But even if I see him, what can I do? There are so many people who hate him!

If someone gives their child a nickname, the parents will definitely agree with it, but they just don't say it out loud for the sake of face.

After exiting the Chuihua Gate, Sha Zhu was standing at the door holding a large ladle and listening to the boys bragging.

Seeing Li Xuewu coming out, he quickly waved to him to wait a moment.

He gestured here and turned around and shouted to the kitchen.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to what he shouted, but he saw Yu Shui walking towards him with a net bag.

"An old businessman in Beixinqiao got some pigeons, but I don't know from which unscrupulous person he bought them."

Sha Zhu stood at the door and explained: "I don't know how it's braised, but it's quite delicious and has a fresh flavor."

"Give it all to me?"

Li Xuewu saw three lunch boxes stacked in the net bag and asked with a smile.

Before her brother could answer, Yu Shui said, "There are plenty of them. Bring him a basin."

After explaining, he stretched out his hand to tease Li Shu, then walked out the door first, as if he was going to take her to the car.

Sha Zhu glanced at his sister, his mouth corners twitched slightly, and he felt pain in the back of his teeth.

What the hell is a basin? A laundry basin is also a basin, and a basin the size of a lunch box is also called a basin!
Master Shang brought a rice bowl and asked his sister to take away most of the food.

Originally, he had asked Li Xuewu to take a lunch box for him to try, and in addition to sharing it with the people in the back room, he also wanted to eat a few more himself.

But you see, everyone else doesn’t have enough to eat, so what can he eat?

What does it mean when a girl grows up, she can't be kept at home! Her elbows always want to turn outward!

Seeing Sha Zhu grinning, Li Xuewu thought he had something to say but was reluctant to say it.

"Okay, I know about Master Shang."

Li Xuewu shook Li Shu to stop her from making a fuss, and said to Sha Zhu: "Tell him to just wait patiently, it will be arranged in a month or two."

"Well, I have an explanation now."

Sha Zhu actually still felt sorry for his pigeon, but he could only say nice things. He couldn't explain this to Li Xuewu.

Seeing the father and daughter were about to leave, he waved his hand and said, "No need to see you off. Let's drink together tomorrow night."

"I'll get the wine"

Li Xuewu said this without even turning his head, then carried Li Shu out the door.

He Yushui was standing in front of the car, handing the net bag in his hand to Han Jiankun who was getting off the car.

At this time in the evening, Peng Xiaoli was sent home first, and Han Jiankun was the only one in the car.

Anyway, Han Jiankun was going to go home with me for dinner, otherwise how could he let others wait while he gossiped in the house.

"There's still some soup in it, so let's just hang it up."

He Yushui pointed to the trunk of the car and asked Han Jiankun to find a hook or something.

Han Jiankun signaled her to hand the net bag to him. After taking the net bag, he hung it directly on the door frame of the co-pilot seat.

"Can it be done?"

He Yushui said worriedly: "It's bound to spill."

"I can't help it"

Han Jiankun didn't say much, just said: "I'll try to drive slower and pay attention to the turning range, it's more difficult to deal with the spill in the car."

He only said one sentence to He Yushui and then helped Li Xuewu open the car door.

Li Xuewu also put Li Shu down and said to Yu Shui, "It's okay, she's just stuttering. It's cold at night, go back to the house quickly."

"Okay, let's go, let's go home and heat up the pigeons before eating them."

She glanced at Li Xuewu without looking at him any further. She said a few words, and when she saw Li Xuewu get into the car, she went back to the yard.

I heard the sound of a car outside the yard, and the person had already left.

The pace of the rain that was rushing into the yard gradually slowed down, and there was no more hurry.

The light in the gatehouse was on, illuminating the doorway as well. Looking through the window, it was the second and third sons of the Yan family who were heating the kang in the house.

Seeing Yu Shui coming back, the two Yan Jiefang brothers said nothing and didn't even say hello, just like they did to Li Xuewu who had just passed by.

It's not that the two of them are stubborn, but they have prejudices against Li Xuewu and those who stand with Li Xuewu.

The weather is cold, and although the kang in the gatehouse is small, it has to be heated early.

If you come here after eating at home, you will be frozen.

Besides, if we really wait until that time to burn it, there will be smoke and fire, and it will be difficult for everyone to play cards happily.

Continuing with the liveliness of the summer, the habit of playing cards in the concierge room has always existed.

A group of people left and a new group came. The old man was helpless. The kids in the yard were like wheat, they grew again after being cut.

Liu Guangfu from the backyard went to work gloriously, Liu Guangtian went to support Gangcheng, and the two best card-playing players were gone, so the second and fourth sons of the Sun family from the next yard filled in.

Sometimes the married ones would come here to watch the game before going to bed.

It's lively, but not a big deal. They had scared an old man and Ji Yuxiu last time, so they all had a good idea of ​​what was going to happen.

The Yan family is quite special. The second son, Yan Jiefang, doesn't play cards, but the third son, Yan Jiekuang, is a braggart.

He is not very old, but he is quite clever. It was not in vain that he followed others for the past few months, as he actually saved up some hard-earned money.

As the old saying goes, goods that come in by evil means will go out by evil means. His money did not come by a good means, so it is impossible for him to give it away by a good means.

He is young and dare not spend the money carelessly, but he likes to act like an adult. He smokes when adults smoke and plays cards when adults play cards. He is a self-defeating person.

Yan Jiefang doesn't care about his younger brother. Everyone in their family has their own plans.

There are fewer guys in the yard, so the night shifts are coming up faster, especially in the back room.

As long as he was on duty, he would bring over the tools for making matchboxes. No matter how people on the small kang played cards and shouted, it would not affect his ability to make money.

Yan Jiefang was very angry. It was winter and his legs were aching.

His eldest brother passed away a few days ago, and his father arranged for him to take over, but he was reluctant to take advantage of his sister-in-law.

In the end, it really went as he thought, and my sister-in-law took over.

The journey of taking this job was quite tortuous. My father fell ill, my mother hated my sister-in-law, and the food was terrible.

How to do?
He boasted that he could get into the factory based on his own abilities.

The results of it?
He had the academic qualifications, but his legs and feet failed to show up during the interview, so he was rejected.

Who would have thought that with so many recruitment targets for the factory, there would even be interviews.

Later he heard that there was not only an interview, but also training and assessment.

Those who fail the assessment will still be demoted.

Every time his leg hurt, he remembered the expression on his father's face when he broke his leg.

So even if it's just making matchboxes, he has to make the money.

what money?

Money to support yourself and your children.

He eats and lives at home and can spend a few dollars a month.

But you can still make a little money by making matchboxes in a month.

Yan Jiefang held the matchbox in his hand, turned it over, and read the words on it.

After the large-scale learning campaign was launched, there were no more trademarks or patterns on the matchboxes, only quotations.

It was easy to paste the paper box. He picked up a stack of about ten pieces, twisted them open and brushed glue on them all. Then he folded them one by one along the pressed lines and glued them firmly.

He practiced very quickly, so he would clamp the folded paper box with an iron clip for a while and wait for the glue to dry.

The most tedious part is actually pasting the inner box, which requires lining up several stacks of paper strips. Families with many people divide the work and cooperate.

One person applied glue, flicked the narrow wooden strips into place one by one, and then removed the strips that were covered with paper.

One of them picked up the wooden stick with the paper on it and used the tip of his right thumb to stroke the protruding narrow edge of the paper.

Then align the wooden strips and circle them into a box shape, and use the adhesive force of the paper strips with glue to stick the inner box into shape.

Another person took the circle-shaped inner box, put it on the wax mold, took a very thin piece of wood base, and placed it in the wax mold.

Then use the index fingers of both hands to push the left and right edges of the paper on the box ring with glue inwards and press them down to stick them firmly to the wooden bottom.

Then press down the front and back ends of the paper, and finally use your right palm to press it firmly, and then you can take it off.

Yan Jiefang is not good at it. Sometimes his mother will help him for a while, but most of the time he does it alone.

But he was young, smart, and had nimble fingers. He had mastered the skills, and his fingers flew, pasting the paper box quickly and well.

How much money can you make by pasting matchboxes?
Especially worthless!

He only gets 50 cents for every 1,000. How much do you think he can earn?

Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court is also doing this, but he only makes five or six yuan a month at most.

After all, she has to take care of the family, do housework, make fire and cook and so on.

However, the Jia family had many children, and Qin Huairu sometimes helped out with the chores, barely enough for her own medicine and for the children's pocket money.

Some are so good that the whole family joins in. Some spend eight or nine yuan, while others spend fifteen or sixteen yuan.

Yan Jiefang is a man of great ambition. Last month, when the street settled the bill, he received 12.30 yuan, which really scared a lot of people.

He is just one person, yet he can do so much.

People praised him for his strong will despite his disability, but he was not very happy.

This word is a compliment, but it makes his legs and heart ache.

The money was all in his hands. Sometimes it turned into malted milk, sometimes it turned into eggs.

Of course, this kind of thing would not go into his own stomach. Yan Fugui knew that these things were all sent to the boss's house.

Gradually, people in the courtyard began to praise Yan Jiefang, and the only contrast was the third aunt's harshness and abuse of her daughter-in-law.

It is indeed a bit of an understatement to describe Yan Jiefang as someone with a strong will despite his disability, but some people say: The Yan family finally found someone.

What others say is what they say. Yan Fugui knows the situation of his family. What outsiders see is not what he knows.

Yan Fugui has already told his son Yan Jiefang to give up this idea. As long as he is alive, he will not agree to this matter.

Yan Jiefang didn't say anything, nor did he argue. He just kept doing what was supposed to happen, as if he just wanted to live like this.

did not hear it?
Maybe he was pretending not to understand.

"Yan Jiefang, do you want more eggs?"

The two brothers were speaking in silence in the gatehouse when they were suddenly interrupted by this shout. Yan Jiekuang was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

"What the hell..."

Before he could finish his curse, he heard his second brother knocking on the small table with a paper cutter, and he stopped talking instantly.

Yan Jiekuang was actually afraid of his second brother, especially since his second brother had become less talkative since some point in the past, and he might not say a word to him for an entire day.

Yan Jiefang was very frugal with words. He nodded at Bang Geng outside the window, motioning him to come in and talk.

Banggeng is very bold. The last time he did business with Yan Jiefang, he almost blew up Tuanjie Lake at the steel rolling mill. Now he dares to provoke him.

"there's a few?"

"Seven"

Bang Geng glanced at Yan Jiekuang who was looking at him gloomily, his fat belly puffed up, and he raised his head confidently.

This is in the courtyard, a courtyard ruled by law. No matter how powerful a grandfather is, he has to act like a grandson when he comes to this courtyard.

Liu Guangfu from the backyard was so awesome that he almost became a street bully.

What now?
He’s not even a little Wang Ba anymore!
Therefore, Yan Jiekuang's attack on him with his eyes was ineffective, and Bang Geng, relying on his strong background, ignored him at all.

"It's cold, and the chickens don't want to lay eggs. I saved them with great difficulty..."

"I want them all"

Without waiting for Bang Geng to finish, Yan Jiefang took out money from his pocket, a pile of Mao Zedong's bills and notes, proving that his money was hard-earned.

Bang Geng watched him count, took it and counted it again, put it in his pocket and patted it, then nodded and asked, "Should we send it to Auntie's room?"

Yan Jiefang didn't say anything, just nodded and continued to work on his work.

Banggeng is also an old hand. Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, he also ignored Yan Jiekuang's covetousness, jumped out of the door, and trotted back home.

We do our job without cheating anyone. Manager Jia no longer needs to send his eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative, but instead sends them to Ge Shuqin's room.

Yan Jiefang really trusted him and didn't care about the number or size of the eggs. He just accepted what Banggeng said and gave him the money.

There is only one requirement, that is, the goods must be delivered to your door.

Now Ge Shuqin is in confinement after giving birth, so he really can't enter the room. Even the hot water has to be brought in by Jie Di.

Banggeng is small, so no one said anything even if he entered the room, and he really became a little courier.

Over the past month, half of the eggs laid by the two hens in the backyard went into Zhao Yafang's mouth, and the other half went into Ge Shuqin's mouth.

Qin Huairu didn’t know that her son was selling eggs?
How could she not know? But she pretended not to know and told her mother-in-law not to interfere.

Jia Zhang also understood that at this time, the only channel for the second son of the Yan family to get eggs might be their family.

Ge Shuqin was in such poor health and the child was in such condition. It was really malnourished. It was a matter of life and death.

If a bastard mother-in-law like Jia Zhang looks at the third aunt like a vicious dog, it is clear what happened in the Yan family.

This is not an egg, it is life-saving medicine.

The aunt was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see this, so she often went to the hut to help. Qin Huairu sometimes also asked the aunt to help bring things.

In this courtyard, people were sending things over there, openly or secretly. But Liu Yin, who didn't like the Yan family and didn't want to cause trouble, sent things over secretly.

Everyone understood it tacitly. No one talked about Ge Shuqin's past anymore, and no one talked about the Yan family's affairs anymore.

Talking about their family affairs all the time is the greatest indulgence of such behavior.

Family disgrace should not be made public. What a pity, Yan Jiekuang knew that their family's scandal had become known to the public.

Why did he learn such bad habits at such a young age? Isn't it because he wants to grow up quickly and leave this home early?

Seeing his second brother's indifferent look, he kicked the firewood in front of the stove and said hesitantly, "Is it worth it~"

Yan Jiefang continued working as if he didn't hear anything.

Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes, glanced out the window, then sat on the small kang and said thoughtfully: "My parents won't let me."

"What do you want to say?"

Yan Jiefang's voice was emotionless. If Yan Jiekuang hadn't mentioned his parents, he might have pretended not to hear it.

Yan Jiekuang raised his head and looked at his second brother, and said stubbornly: "I feel sorry for you. My eldest brother's money is with my father, but I only saw him talking and never saw him taking the money..."

"Go do what you need to do~"

Yan Jiefang was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and continued with what he was doing, not wanting to waste even a minute.

"I know you look down on me"

Yan Jiekuang curled his lips and wanted to say something harsh, but the two brothers just thought it was boring.

"I just want to grow up quickly and leave this yard as soon as possible."

As he said this, he lay down on the kang, looked at the gray ceiling, and said, "I'm tired of it."

I couldn't hear the second brother's answer, only the sound of folding paper. He muttered again: "Unlike me, you are an adult now. After this winter, take your sister-in-law away, far away, the farther the better."

Click~
The first mistake happened with the matchbox in Yan Jiefang's hand. He used too much force and broke it into pieces.

His brother's words were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart and causing him great pain.

Perhaps noticing his second brother's stiff body and knowing that he had reacted to his words, Yan Jiekuang continued: "I have three hundred here. I'll give you half, and I have to save the rest for myself. This is the only way I can support you."

"Keep it to yourself, I'm not going anywhere"

Yan Jiefang regained his spirit, replied, and picked up the paper box again and started folding it.

"You are just stubborn"

Yan Jiekuang sat up, looked at his second brother and said, "If you really want to do good for your sister-in-law, move out earlier. She won't be treated well by mom."

What responded to him was his second brother's silence and the not-so-fast and-smooth folding movements.

He could no longer tolerate his second brother's bad temper, so he stood up, slammed the door and left.

Hearing someone outside the window calling out to his younger brother to play cards, his younger brother's reply, "Fuck you," was heard into the room, and Yan Jiefang's movements slowed down.

Go? Where to go?

My sister-in-law can take over the factory job, and only she can do the work by staying in the yard.

Besides, considering his condition, it was still unclear whether his sister-in-law would go with him. What his brother said really tore his heart.

Asking what love is in the world can teach you how to make love between life and death.

This relationship came too suddenly and was too abnormal. The pressure at home made him breathless. The more praise he received from outside, the farther he was from his sister-in-law.

His brother's words made him realize more clearly the fact that he was not up to the task, and also exposed his embarrassing situation.

The mask he had worn for so many days was torn off, revealing his true heart of hatred and pain.

"It's a bit fishy~ What kind of cooking skills are you using~"

Qin Jingru curled her lips and commented on the braised pigeon in her hand, then finished the pigeon wing in one bite.

Han Jiankun raised his head and looked at her. Seeing that her mouth was full of oil, he couldn't help but twitching his eyes.

Even though it tastes so bad, people still eat a pigeon in three bites. What would happen if it tasted good?

"There are plenty, Jiankun will eat too."

Li Xuewu cut the pigeon in his hand into pieces, removed the meat and placed it in Gu Ning's bowl.

“Nourish the liver, strengthen the kidneys, replenish qi, replenish blood, clear away heat and detoxify, promote fluid production and quench thirst”

He recited the book in his mouth and persuaded Gu Ning with a smile: "I asked you specifically, can you eat it."

Gu Ning frowned, looked at the meat in the bowl, raised his head and asked, "From the wild?"

"What are you thinking about? There are no wild pigeons in this city."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "Maybe one of the kids ran out of money, and a pigeon shed somewhere in the city suffered a devastating disaster."

This kind of thing shouldn’t be too common. You can choose any house, let alone a pigeon shed.

In this era, doves cannot represent peace!
