Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Mom, it's too late. Zhao Shanhe said that even after the list came out, we can't change jobs. The only way is to go to the countryside. Let's ask the third uncle about the preparations."

"Lao Jia, Dong Xu, please open your eyes and take a look. You left so early, leaving us, an orphan and a widow, behind. How can we live? Now Bang Geng is also going to the countryside. How can an old woman like me survive?"

"Grandma, please stop yelling. I'm in the countryside, not dead. Why are you calling me grandpa and dad? It's scary."

"My goodness, grandma is afraid that she won't see you again. Grandma is old, and she doesn't know when you will come back after you go to the countryside. She doesn't know if she will live to see you."

If netizens have watched the TV series, they will definitely say, Jia Zhang, don’t worry, you are the longest-lived person in the courtyard. You didn’t die in the finale, it’s like the lifespans of Lao Jia and Jia Dongxu were added to you.

But it is also sad. The most painful things in life are losing one's husband in middle age and losing one's son in old age. The pain of love and separation is one of the eight great sufferings mentioned in Buddhism. Jia Zhang is both lucky and unfortunate.

So, why did Zhao Shanhe risk his life to help Zhao Shanhai? The suffering of not getting what you want is also one of the eight sufferings. How can people who have not experienced it understand that kind of pain? He didn't want his brother to experience that kind of suffering. People who have been caught in the rain know better how to hold an umbrella for others.

"Grandma, you can eat and drink, there must be nothing wrong with you, you will definitely live a long life."

"Huai Ru, have you asked clearly? What do we need to bring? Let's prepare it early. Don't let the child suffer. It's hard to lose a father since childhood."

"Mom, I asked, prepare daily necessities, the most important thing is money and tickets. The third uncle also told us that we are unfamiliar with the place, so we must build good relationships with people in the village and those who know the situation."

"Then get ready. Let the child eat well these few days. Go buy some meat tomorrow."

"Mom, you should go. You can always buy big pieces of fat meat when you go. Besides, you have the ticket."

When Jia Zhang heard that the tickets were with her, she thought something was wrong. She had forgotten in her excitement that he had exchanged the tickets for money. She sold them to Zhao Shanhe at a high price two days ago. It was not just the meat tickets, all the national tickets in the house had been exchanged for money by her. It was not easy for the remaining tickets to last until the end of the month, as there were no tickets left in the house.

"Huai Ru, it's great, why don't we just be patient, the tickets are all gone."

"Mom, we basically ate at Uncle's house for the first half of the year. Didn't we save some tickets by living frugally? How could we have used them all up? We used tickets from the four-nine cities, which have a short validity period, but we saved all the tickets from all over the country, right?"

"If it's used up, it's used up. Why would I lie to you?"

"Grandma, you didn't take the ticket and go out to eat and drink secretly, did you? Look, you've gained weight again."

After Banggeng finished speaking, Qin Huairu, Xiaodang, and Huaihua, four pairs of eyes stared at Jia Zhang. At this time, silence was better than words, and Jia Zhang still could not resist four pairs of eyes.

"Nonsense, didn't grandma let you eat the good food first? You ungrateful bastards, grandma is suffering from edema because of hunger."

"Grandma, where's the ticket?"

"Okay, let me tell you. I sold the tickets. You were not at home a few days ago, and I was chatting with your aunt in the yard. Zhao Shanhe came to buy tickets. I saw that they sold them, so I sold them too."

"Zhao Shanhe's family shouldn't be short of tickets, right? There are so many people in his family earning wages, and he's the chief engineer, so he has a lot of tickets. Why would he buy tickets?"

"How would I know? I didn't ask. He paid a high price for it, so we didn't lose anything."

"It seems like I haven't seen that kid Zhao Shanhai for a long time. Didn't a group of people come to see him a few days ago? They said they were looking for his daughter. Could it be that Zhao Shanhai ran away with the girl and was found by the girl's family? Zhao Shanhe bought the ticket just to help Zhao Shanhai run away?"

If Zhao Shanhe were here, he would definitely give Qin Huairu a thumbs up. She is worthy of being called the White Lotus of the Golden Age. She is really smart. No wonder in the play, Sha Zhu can deceive everyone except Qin Huairu. Look at her brain. She guessed right.

"Bang Geng, take your sister out to play. I have something to tell your mom."

After Bang Geng and the others left, Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu

"Huai Ru, if what you said is true, this is a big deal. My goodness, the Zhao brothers are really brave.

Huairu, do you think we should ask the Zhao family kid to solve the Banggeng issue? If he doesn't solve it, we will report him. Is that okay?"

"Mom, do you think it's possible? If someone dares to do it, it means he is sure. Let's report it. Where should we report it? Don't forget that he has an uncle who is the director of the security department, and a second uncle who is a high-ranking officer in the army.

Besides, Zhao Shanhe is also very capable and has a very good relationship with our factory director. We have no power and our most powerful relative is still Zhao Shanhe.

If the report failed, he would torture me to death in the factory. Although he couldn't fire me, he could use some tricks to tire me to death. Have you forgotten the first and second uncles a few years ago? In the end, he still took the initiative to bow his head.

In the past few years, I finally got a better life in the factory under the name of Zhao Shanhe. Our workshop director turned a blind eye to me. I don't want to suffer like this.

Besides, in the courtyard, the first uncle doesn't dare to have a conflict with others, the second uncle is also hiding, the third uncle is trying to curry favor with others, and Sha Zhu's wife is also trying to curry favor with others. Xu Damao is his man, so what do you think we should do?

Even if the report is successful, what benefit can we get except arresting him? The second son of his family will not take revenge on our family. We are orphans and widows.

Even my third uncle's family will definitely not let me go. My third uncle was able to enter the city because of Zhao Shanhe's relationship. He will fight for it.

Mom, forget about this idea. Just pretend you don’t know about this. Besides, it’s just my guess and I don’t know if it’s true or not. The factory said he was on a business trip.”

"Well, I was also worried about Bang Geng, so I came up with this idea. But if you think about it carefully, this kid from the Zhao family is really amazing. No one in the courtyard lives better than him. You can see that every wedding is three turns and one ring. Even my sister's dowry is three turns and one ring. There are so many bicycles in the house that they can't even put them all.

But this guy is narrow-minded. Didn't we plan to rob his house in the first place? We didn't get it, and he still holds a grudge against us. Your sister has been married for many years, and our family has gained no benefit from him. We are still relatives."

"Mom, stop talking. Now the uncle has recognized Sha Zhu and won't help us. Sha Zhu has not associated with our family since he got married. Everyone only cares about our relationship with Zhao Shanhe. If we offend him, our family will be bullied to death in the yard."

"Otherwise, men still have to be the head of the family. It would be great if Dongxu were alive. When Dongxu was alive, who in the courtyard didn't envy our family? Banggeng has finally grown up and can be relied upon, but now he has to go back to the countryside. Oh, God, please open your eyes. If you don't, we won't be able to live anymore."
