The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 195: Relatives are coming?

Li Weiguo listened carefully.

Among the noisy noise, Jia Zhang's voice seemed to be the loudest, and the others included the voices of Qin Huairu and a strange man.

Just by listening to the sound, you can feel that the noise in the middle courtyard has become a pot of porridge.

It's such a noisy night, what's going on with the Jia family?

Li Weiguo was not in a hurry to go back to the house. He closed the door and turned around to walk to the middle courtyard, wanting to see the excitement.

After crossing the hall and walking to the middle courtyard, I saw a large circle of people gathered in front of Jia's house, pointing at Jia's house. They were all neighbors watching the fun in the yard.

The first uncle, second uncle, third uncle and others were all watching, but they did not step in to stop it.

Hey. Now I'm confused. Aren't these three gentlemen usually more active than anyone else when something happens? How come they don't care about anything?

Li Weiguo glanced at the melon-eaters present, and soon discovered the Si Zhu brothers and sisters in the main room who were stretching their necks to watch the excitement.

After casually nodding to the neighbors present, Li Weiguo walked slowly to the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters.

"Yu Yu, what's going on? It's so noisy at night, and the uncles don't care?" Glancing at the door of Jia's house, Li Weiguo curiously asked Yu Yu next to him.

The girl Yuyu was watching the excitement attentively. She turned around and saw that Li Weiguo was back. She quickly said hello and then explained in a low voice:

"It's Sister Qin's relatives who are here!"

(0_0)? Relatives are coming?

Li Weiguo suddenly looked confused.

Doesn’t this relative come here once a month on time? Why is there such a big fuss this time?

Yuyu turned around and saw a strange expression on his face. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. His pretty face turned slightly red, knowing that he was thinking wrongly, so he raised his hand and pinched his waist.

Jiao said angrily: "It's not that relative, it's Sister Qin's biological father who is here. Don't think nonsense!"

"hiss"

Li Weiguo gasped in pain and quickly held Yu Yu's little hand.

This little girl doesn't know who she learned this skill from. She focuses on the waist and twists it accurately.

This strength is so refreshing

"How can you blame me? It's obviously because you didn't explain it clearly." Li Weiguo rubbed his waist and said humiliatedly.

Yuyu pouted her little mouth, snorted twice, then turned her head and ignored him.

This smoldering fellow often talked to Yuyu in the dialect of an experienced driver. At first Yuyu had never been in a car and couldn't understand it, but he gradually came to his senses, so he didn't believe what he said at all.

Li Weiguo touched his nose nonchalantly and asked with a smile: "What exactly is going on? Please tell me quickly."

Yuyu rolled his eyes at him and explained: "It was Sister Qin's biological father who came to borrow food. Aunt Jia didn't agree. The two families started quarreling when they disagreed. Now they are screaming there. This is a family matter. It’s not easy for an uncle to intervene.”

When Li Weiguo heard this, he suddenly realized.

Hey, just tell her that if her father comes to borrow food, it will be over.

Her relatives are here. Isn’t this intentional to make people think wrong? Can you blame me?

Li Weiguo glanced at Yuyu resentfully.

However, Renyu paid no attention to him. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, pursed his lips, and turned around to watch the fun.

The west wing of the middle courtyard, Jia's house.

At this time, the Jia family was in a quarrel.

The main quarrel was between Old Qin and the Jia Zhang family. As the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, Qin Huairu was in a very awkward position. It was difficult to be a good person in the middle, so she could only pull Old Qin aside to break up the fight.

As for Jia Dongxu, he was sitting at the dining table with a gloomy face, staring at the Qin family's father and daughter without saying a word.

Jia Zhang said loudly: "Impossible! Absolutely not!"

"Let alone thirty kilograms of grain, our family doesn't even have three kilograms of grain!"

"Your family, Qin Huairu, can marry into our Jia family and eat commercial food. This is a blessing she has cultivated for eight lifetimes. Don't be dissatisfied."

"You still ask for thirty kilograms of grain from our house. Did this grain fall from the sky? Let me tell you, there is no way!"

After that, Mrs. Jia Zhang took a few deep breaths, took the tea bowl on the table, poured out the boiling water in the bowl, and poured the tea bowl over on the table.

The meaning is obvious, stop talking nonsense, walk slowly and don’t send me away!

Old man Qin was very angry when he saw her acting like this. The Jia family's mother and son were nothing special.

He had been taking the shuttle bus for so long and came to the city. Just when it was time for dinner, he didn't say hello to his in-laws when they came and asked them to have a meal together or something. He just asked to borrow food and had to drive people out. Everyone Who can bear to speak so harshly to a close relative?

Although it is said that the mother's family is not allowed to interfere at will when a married daughter throws away water, but the in-laws only asked to borrow a piece of food and were scornful. You can imagine how their daughter was treated in the Jia family.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, what you said is wrong. We are all relatives. I managed to raise my daughter and marry her into your family. I have never asked your family for anything, right?

My family is in trouble right now, and I just refuse to borrow some food from your family, and I still make such ugly remarks. Are these still relatives? "Old man Qin's face turned red and looked quite ugly.

"Dad, Mom, please stop arguing, okay? If anything happens, let's sit down and talk slowly. Everyone in the hospital is watching outside." Qin Huairu's eyes turned red from crying. She stood between Jia Zhang and Old Qin. In the middle, he choked and tried to dissuade him.

Jia Zhang glanced at Old Qin, whose face was red from suppressing his emotions, but he did not regret it.

I just asked to borrow thirty kilograms of grain when I came to my door. I really don’t know what to say.

How much ration does an adult have in a month? How dare he speak out.

Jia Zhang doesn’t care whether you have in-laws or not, there just aren’t any! Don’t even borrow it if you have it!

Then she added: "Old Qin, you don't have to tell me what is available and what is not available. You understand the situation better than anyone else. We are just ordinary people. Our family doesn't even have enough to eat. Where can I get it for you?" Thirty pounds of grain.

Besides, now the commune and the brigade are all big pots of rice, and you are fully managed and managed. You don't even need to do the cooking. Why are you borrowing food?

Could it be that he was thinking of buying and selling? That's not okay, we are serious people and don't do these illegal things. "

Now that he has broken his skin, there is nothing to say, and Mrs. Jia and Zhang are not going to save face for him. If he likes it and can't stand it, it's better to leave as soon as possible, so as not to pester their family here.

"you you."

Old man Qin was so angry at Jia Zhang's sinister tone that he pointed at her and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing that Old Qin was so angry, Qin Huairu quickly stroked his back to calm him down, and said in a tearful tone: "Dad, please calm down, let's stop arguing, okay? If anything happens, let's sit down and take it easy." explain."

Qin Huairu was really anxious. On one side was her biological father and on the other side was her mother-in-law. It was difficult for both of them to behave. However, her husband Jia Dongxu sat there without saying a word and did not intend to break up the fight. He made it clear that he did not welcome the Qin family. , showing the faces of her father and daughter.

Old man Qin glanced at his daughter who was crying aggrievedly. He knew that he had caused trouble to her, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"Hey Xiaoru, I know I can't forgive you, but at home your mother and younger brothers and sisters are all waiting for food rations to save their lives, so there's really nothing I can do about it.

right! Your mother-in-law is right. The brigade's canteen is well-run, so the food was okay at first.

But what you don’t know is that starting from the end of 1958, the food in the brigade canteen became worse and worse.

By the end of last year, many teams could no longer hold on and began to disband one after another.

At the beginning of this year, our commune couldn't hold on any longer, so we all disbanded and went home to eat our own food.

This year’s harvest isn’t good either, and the rations I’ve been allocated won’t last until the end of the year. I don’t know how I’m going to survive this winter.

Our family's situation is pretty good. Some people impulsively donated everything they had to cook to build a blast furnace. As a result, they don't even have a pot to cook at home. Alas, it's so difficult."

After saying that, Old Man Qin couldn't help but wipe away his tears.
