Siheyuan Shangpeng

After Shang Peng left the He family, the entire courtyard fell into a strange atmosphere.

The Yan family in the front yard, "Dad, it has to be you. If you hadn't helped me, I would have offended the He family today. If I had offended He Daqing, it would not be easy to get a job from He Daqing in the future." Yan Jiecheng said to Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiecheng and slapped him on the back of the head. As Yan Jiecheng cried out in pain, he said, "Did you call him He Daqing? You are disrespectful. After all, you are the junior. Is that what I taught you? Remember, you have to be polite to everyone in this yard. There are few good people in this yard. Anyway, remember not to talk nonsense and don't just listen to what others say. Your mother and I will not harm you."

Afterwards, she dismissed a few children and sat there in a daze. Auntie Yang Ruihua came to sit next to Yan Fugui and said to him, "Old Yan, why didn't you tell Jie Cheng about the work next week?"

Yan Fugui shuddered violently as if he was awakened, then looked at Yang Ruihua and said, "Mother of my child, do you think my move was right or wrong? Look at today's play, it was really a lively one with you singing and me coming on stage. I'm afraid that if I step in, it will...will..."

"Talk to me nicely and use cultural words every day. Do you think you are so great? In my opinion, you just think too much. What are you afraid of following Xiaopeng? Didn't you see that it was Xiaopeng who made Director Wang lose face today?" Yang Ruihua said while rubbing Yan Fugui's head.

Yan Fugui waved his hand and said, "It's because of Xiaopeng that I'm worried. You saw that the He family won today, but the risks are not small. The person He Daqing found didn't calm the situation at all. If Xiaopeng hadn't found Secretary Wang, we don't know what the result would be. What would happen to our Jie Cheng if Xiaopeng and his team failed one day? Xiaopeng and his team might be fine, but our Jie Cheng is just a small shrimp and can be easily killed by others. Do you think you can blame me for thinking too much?"

Yang Ruihua is just a housewife. She doesn't understand the twists and turns. She saw that the He family had the advantage today, and after Yan Fugui's analysis, she became scared.

Yan Fugui went on to say, "Okay, we are all ordinary people, why think so much? Xiaopeng will treat me to dinner tomorrow morning, and I will ask around. He is kind enough to help me get a job, so I can't offend Xiaopeng." After saying that, he stopped talking, and the Yan family fell into silence.

Yi Zhonghai's family is in the central courtyard, and the Jia family is also in Yi Zhonghai's family. The adults of the two families are silent. Banggeng is having a lot of fun with Xiaodang. Yi Zhonghai is really nice to Banggeng, and Aunt Yi is also very good to children. At this time, the two children are eating the delicious food prepared by Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master, what do you think of what happened today?"

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Jia Zhang spoke first: "Master, what do you think of us?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Don't count on the He family's house. The business is already in a state of chaos and we can't deal with it. Sister-in-law, you did the right thing today by not joining in the fun. Otherwise, given the relationship between our two families and the He family and the business, who knows how those two families will retaliate against us."

Jia Zhang curled her lips and said in her heart: "My family is okay, mainly because of you. My Dongxu has a good relationship with those two families." But Jia Zhang would not say this in front of Yi Zhonghai. After all, Jia Dongxu still relied on Yi Zhonghai to teach him technology.

Jia Zhang's eyes rolled and she said, "Uncle, we have nothing to do with this matter, and the He family and the merchants will not cause us trouble. But my family is really short of food. The ration is less than before. You also know that Huairu and I are not registered in the city, so we don't have a ration. The child's household registration is with his mother, so he doesn't have a ration either. Dongxu's ration is definitely not enough for a whole family. We can only buy expensive food. Our family will soon have no food to eat. Dongxu even agreed to be your in-law, so you have to help our family." After she finished speaking, she pretended to shed a few tears.

Yi Zhonghai felt a headache when he heard this. In order to get the land in the countryside, Jia Zhang did not change her urban household registration, and she also forced Qin Huairu not to change her household registration. When the land was taken back, she was dumbfounded. She could not change her urban household registration, could not get enough food, and had to eat expensive grain all the time. Otherwise, with Jia Dongxu's salary as a third-level worker, he should not have rented a house. He had to wait for the factory to give him a house. Now it was a year of famine. Last year was okay, there was still grain to sell in Pigeon Market, and at most she could get some on the black market. It was only a short time since the beginning of this year, and there was no one selling grain in Pigeon Market. The price of grain on the black market kept rising. Not to mention their family, they could not afford to eat like this even with their own salary.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so he had to give his wife a look. Aunt Yi was also very upset. If the food was given to the two children and Qin Huairu, she could accept it. But when she thought that most of the food went into Jia Zhang's mouth, she was unwilling to give it. However, Yi Zhonghai had given her a look, so she said, "Sister-in-law, my family doesn't have much food. Let's do this. I have some corn flour at home. You can ask Dongxu to take it back later for emergency use."

When Jia Zhang heard that there was only corn flour, she curled her lips secretly, but Qin Huairu still thanked Yi Zhonghai and his wife. Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu, then at Qin Huairu, and his previous thoughts came up again, but he dispelled them. After all, Jia Dongxu was still a good person. In this day and age, he supported him from time to time, and Jia Dongxu was obviously becoming more and more filial to him. However, if Yi Zhonghai knew that the disaster would last for more than a year, he didn't know if he could suppress his thoughts like he did today.

Seeing that the food had arrived, Jia Zhang hastily ended the conversation and went home with her family.

After returning home, Jia Zhang closed the door and let Banggeng and Xiaodang go back to the room to sleep. Jia Zhang took Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to sit in the outer room.

Jia Dongxu knew his mother had something to say, so he sat down without any hurry. As soon as he sat down, Jia Zhang spoke: "Dongxu, did you see anything today?"

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "Did the He family or the Shang family win?"

Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu and asked, "No more?"

Jia Dongxu replied: "No!"

Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu and said angrily, "No, don't you see anything else?"

"No, what else could it be? Isn't it just that Second Uncle teamed up with the Street Office to cause trouble for Uncle He, and then Uncle He asked the merchants to clean up the Street Office?"
