After coming out of the trust store, Zhang Zhiqiang strolled around for a while. At noon, he ate a dish and two white flour buns, and went to the street office. Then he walked leisurely towards the courtyard.

In the front yard of the courtyard, Aunt Three was fiddling with Uncle Three's potted plants, Yan Bugui. When she saw Zhang Zhiqiang carrying lots of bags, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, Qiangzi, are you discharged from the hospital?"

"Oh my god, you bought so many things, are you preparing for the New Year?"

"Come on, let Auntie help you carry it."

As the third aunt said this, she was about to take the things from Zhang Zhiqiang's hand.

Zhang Zhiqiang was so scared that he quickly took a step back.

"No need, Auntie. It's not a lot. I can carry it back myself."

After saying hello to the three aunts, Zhang Zhiqiang hurried to the backyard.

Everyone living in the Siheyuan doesn’t know that after buying things, they should avoid the third uncle’s house?

Third uncle is the only one who has a job in his family. He earns 27.5 yuan a month and has to support six people in his family. He always says that he will have enough food and clothes, and that if he doesn't plan well, he will become poor.

The three aunts and uncles took turns standing guard every day, watching to see if anyone brought back any good things. They would take advantage of every opportunity and put two handfuls of a bowl of rice into their pockets. Even Xu Damao, a real villain, couldn't escape from them, so how could Zhang Zhiqiang dare to provoke him?

"Pah, I don't know where the money comes from to buy so many good things."

The third aunt curled her lips, looked unpleasant, and talked to herself.

Now even such a young man dared to refuse her "help", the third aunt decided to wait for the third uncle to come back and have a good talk with him.

"Ah~ah~you bunch of bastards, I'm gonna fuck you, you dare to fuck me."

“Retreat, retreat, retreat…”

As soon as he arrived at the middle courtyard, Zhang Zhiqiang heard the voice of the old sow Jia Zhang, cursing everywhere.

No one knew what the other two old ladies were arguing about, but Jia Zhang was scolding both of them without any sign of fear, and it seemed like she was engaging in a debate with a group of scholars.

Seeing Zhang Zhiqiang come in, the three of them stopped and looked at each other, fearing that the air would suddenly become quiet.

Then Jia Zhang reacted first.

"You little bastard, how dare you come back? I tell you, it's useless to buy me things. You must immediately vacate the house and exchange it with our Jia family. Otherwise, I will make you pay."

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, he proudly prepared to take the thing from Zhang Zhiqiang's hand. In his opinion, this was a sign that Zhang Zhiqiang was admitting defeat.

Jia Zhang felt that Zhang Zhiqiang must have been scared by Sha Zhu's beating and had not dared to come back these days. Today he bought some things to please her so that she could mediate.

"Are you sick."

Zhang Zhiqiang quickly dodged and walked straight to the backyard.

Jia Zhang was stunned. She didn't expect Zhang Zhiqiang to dare to scold her.

On Monday afternoon, Qin Huairu gave her twenty yuan and said that Zhang Zhiqiang had returned the money. Jia Zhang thought that Zhang Zhiqiang was scared.

Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu would definitely not tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing. It has to be said that it was a wonderful misunderstanding.

Today, she was telling the two old women how powerful she was and how Zhang Zhiqiang was afraid of her, but was ridiculed by the two old women, which led to a quarrel.

When Zhang Zhiqiang just came in, Jia Zhang felt like she had won, and she wanted to teach Zhang Zhiqiang a lesson to save face.

"Oh, some people, even at their old age, still want to take advantage of young people."

"That's right. He was showing off to us just now. It made me laugh to death."

…………

The two ladies next to them laughed very loudly, and they kept teasing Jia Zhang with words. This was also a unique pleasure of that era.

"You little bastard, did you buy so much food? You're not afraid of choking to death, and you didn't even think about sending some to our Jia family. Damn it."

"Where did he get the money to buy those things? Was he stolen? I advise you to report it immediately and arrest this little bastard."

Jia Zhang kept cursing, then felt embarrassed and quickly returned to the house.

Zhang Zhiqiang felt confused. He hadn't been home for a few days, and it was still very upsetting to encounter such a thing when he just returned.

Walking to the backyard, Zhang Zhiqiang saw that Xu Damao's door had just opened, and Lou Xiao'e walked out of the house and stretched, looking like she had just woken up.

Seeing Zhang Zhiqiang, he thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes with his hands. He looked extremely cute.

"Qiangzi, are you discharged from the hospital? I was scared that day."

"I discussed with Damao last night about visiting you today."

After confirming that it was Zhang Zhiqiang, Lou Xiao'e hurried over and spoke with concern.

"Well, I'm back, Sister Xiao'e. I came back when I was almost recovered. After all, I have to support the family alone."

Zhang Zhiqiang saw that Lou Xiao'e was in a better mood and replied with a smile.

"Well, Qiangzi, look at what you said. With your sister-in-law Xiao'e here, there's no way you'll be left without money."

"You were just too stubborn and unwilling to accept my kindness. You should know that I don't have much except money. When you figure it out, tell your sister-in-law."

Lou Xiao'e had just woken up and saw that Zhang Zhiqiang was in a very good mood, so she said something meaningful.

Zhang Zhiqiang was instantly embarrassed. How could the original owner, who was so honest and dull, understand such words?

"Sister Xiao'e, did you just wake up?"

There was no way to respond to this, so Zhang Zhiqiang could only abruptly change the subject.

"That's right. I didn't have anything to do today. I just wanted to take a nap after breakfast."

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e yawned and suddenly remembered that she had not washed up yet.

"Haha, Qiangzi, you have so many things to carry, why don't you get busy first? I'll go wash up first."

"Okay, sister-in-law, you are busy, I will go back and clean up first."

Zhang Zhiqiang responded with a smile, then watched Lou Xiaoe run back home quickly, and shook his head with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e didn't even suggest helping Zhang Zhiqiang take the things home or anything like that. This daughter of a capitalist family was brought up in a pampered environment and had no sense of work at all.

Zhang Zhiqiang heard that Xu Damao worked during the day and came back to do housework at night, which was an incredible thing in the 1960s.

The two of them had many conflicts because of this matter. Every time, Lou Xiao'e refuted it by saying that Xu Damao had promised her father that he would not let her do anything after marrying her. Xu Damao was afraid that his father-in-law would lose.

Speaking of Lou Xiao'e's father, he is not a simple person. He is Lou Zhenhua, a big capitalist in Beijing. He is nicknamed "Lou Bancheng", which shows that he has great power. Although he handed over most of his industries after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and Xu Damao is not someone he can afford to offend.

As a result, Xu Damao became less and less willing to go home, and often went to the countryside to show movies and stayed away from home for three or four days.

After Zhang Zhiqiang returned home, he looked at the dirty and messy house and started to clean it. After all, he had bought some good furniture, which would be a lot of money after several decades, so he had to tidy up the house and put the furniture in.

Then he packed up his broken bed, broken table, broken chairs and other things and piled them at the door.
