After Yan Jiecheng returned home for another weekend, he heard the news that Qin Huairu was pregnant again.
"Ms. Jia Zhang does nothing at home every day, leaving her pregnant daughter-in-law to take care of the children, cook, and wash clothes." The third aunt told Yan Jiecheng enviously, as if she was hinting at something.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, you haven't continued to curse in the past few days. When you meet people, you always say that the Jia family is going to have another grandson."
"Si Zhu was promoted to an eighth-level cook, with a salary of 35 yuan, and a canteen monitor allowance of 37.5 yuan a month."
"Qin Huairu is pregnant, and Shazhu is bringing more and more lunch boxes to our good brother Jia's family."
"Sister Silly Zhu often comes home and has no food to eat. She has become so thin that she loses her appearance."
"This month, there are fewer fine grains, and all the coarse grains we buy are dried sweet potatoes."
"My uncle's family bought meat for the deaf old lady to eat again. The whole courtyard is filled with the smell of meat!"
After several years of living in a courtyard, Qin Huairu has successfully established herself as a good daughter-in-law, filial, smart, diligent and capable.
Even though she was a daughter-in-law from a rural area, she was extremely envious of her expectant mothers-in-law, including the third aunt and the second aunt.
Only Yan Jiecheng knew that the peaceful life in the courtyard was about to be broken.
Little Sophora japonica is about to be born, will Jia Dongxu be far behind?
Although he doesn't have much contact with him, Jia Dongxu is still a good person. Except for a little selfish problem, he has a lazy and shrewish old lady at home.
Jia's white-noodle steamed buns were eaten by Jia Zhang and Banggen, Jia Dongxu ate the Erhe noodle steamed buns, and Qin Huairu and Xiaodang could only eat steamed buns.
Family status can be seen as average.
Even though Jia Zhang and Bang Gang are two fat men, Jia Dongxu is a lean and lean person.
On the one hand, people in this era don’t have enough to eat, and the situation of the Jia family is even more serious. None of the four people have urban household registration, and there is no food supply. It can be said that the food supply for one person can feed five people.
If it weren't for the occasional subsidies from the first uncle and the lunch boxes brought by Sha Zhu, the Jia family would not be able to maintain their "luxurious" life. They would be making cornbread and facing the lake every day like the old Yan family.
On the other hand, it would be unworthy of you to marry a wife like Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu's pregnancy stimulated Shazhu and Xu Damao even more.
Silly Zhu thought, giving birth to children in Jia Dongxu's family is like laying eggs, one after another.
He was so stupid that he couldn't even get a wife. The desire to find a wife that had just been extinguished was rekindled.
We searched for matchmakers, streets, women's federation ladies in factories, and senior men in courtyard houses. We searched for everyone we could find and let them introduce the candidates.
When Silly Pillar doesn't meet the widow, his brain is still very good.
If you find more matchmakers, give more gifts, you can meet a few lesbians, and if you let the matchmakers say more nice things, the chances of things happening will be greater.
"Aunt Liu, I'm here to see you again. They say you are the best matchmaker in our area within ten miles. I will leave my life-long affairs to you. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a big red envelope if this matter is settled." .”
"Aunt Wang, I heard that you are the best matchmaker in the capital, and I came here because of your reputation. Look at our conditions, you must help me find a suitable one. Thank you first."
He went to the street and pretended to be pitiful, saying how hard it was for him, that his mother was gone long ago, and his father ran away with the widow again.
The two siblings were left behind, living as father and mother with their younger sister. When they reached 26, they didn't even have a partner. It was not easy to find a wife, and the streets had to pay attention to suitable candidates.
"Director Wang, I'm in trouble. You said I'm in my twenties. I have a house and a job, but I don't even have a partner. Other kids my age are already fooling around, so you must help me.
Pay attention, they say you are a good leader who serves the people, and I will send you a banner when you get married."
While eating in the cafeteria of the steel rolling mill, I met the ladies from the Women's Federation who came to eat in the cafeteria. Without saying anything, they served me a spoonful of food. After gaining the goodwill of the ladies, I asked them to introduce suitable partners.
"Sister Hua, aren't you there to help the employees solve their problems? Look at how old I am. You introduced me in pairs in our steel rolling mill. Why don't you think of me as a pillar? Look at how old I am in the cafeteria.
Show it, you are concerned."
I went to the courtyard to have a drink with an old man, and the old man who was also a drunk promised to introduce me to me.
"Master, you are the person I am closest to. Look at your apprentice Jia Dongxu. There are children one after another. I am still alone now. I can only leave this matter to you!"
After Shazhu was busy, he fully expected that this wave would be successful.
Then I started to get busy every day by looking at the girl's photos and getting to know the situation, in parks, restaurants, and at home.
Xu Damao was also very envious. He had been married for more than a year. He saw that other people's wives were like Qin Huairu, who had two in three years and three in five years.
"Lou Xiao'e, what's the matter with you? Qin Huairu is pregnant again, but your belly is not moving at all." Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e with jealousy and said.
"How do I know this? There are so many people who haven't gotten pregnant in just a year. How can you blame me?" Lou Xiao'e, the eldest capitalist lady, is not a temperless person.
"No, I will take you to see an old Chinese doctor tomorrow and give you a good supplement. There has been no movement at all for such a long time."
"Is giving birth to a child my sole responsibility? Xu Damao, you are just a bastard, blame me for not being able to give birth to a child!"
"Lou Xiao'e, you said you don't know how to do housework, you can't cook delicious food, and you can't give birth to children, so what use are you?"
"Xu Damao, do you have any conscience? How did you promise our family at that time?"
Xu Damao married Lou Xiao'e because Lou Xiao'e's family was rich and Lou's father was the director of the steel rolling mill.
Xu Damao was a third-generation employee of the Lou family. Before liberation, Xu Damao's mother was a servant of the Lou family, and he knew the children well.
Xu Damao is tall, well-spoken, and has a respectable job as a projectionist. Apart from having a donkey face, he doesn't have any major shortcomings.
Xu Damao won over Lou Xiao'e with just a sweet talk. After being married for so long, Xu Damao didn't get much credit from the Lou family. He was still a small projectionist, doing housework at home every day to serve Lou Xiao'e.
After drinking, my mind gets hot and I vent all the resentment accumulated in my heart.
With this unhappy breakup, the marriage of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e began to crack.
Lou Xiaoe started to use this formula and that secret medicine to condition her body every day.
Xu Damao devoted more energy to various young widows in the countryside, and became more active in showing movies in the countryside.
Once there is a change in the Jia family at the center of the storm in the courtyard, the storm inside the courtyard immediately rises.
Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment that everyone in the world was drunk and I was alone awake.
