As soon as he heard that he was offering money to buy it, the third uncle Yan Bugui subconsciously shook his head. He just wanted to try to win favor with the family, but when he saw the old lady looking at him with a half-smiling expression, he smiled awkwardly.
Liu Shun and Aunt Hu also smiled after listening to the old lady's words. Since Lin Jiaguo's family and Li Ermeng's family didn't need these things, they might as well sell them.
"Xiao Yan, these furniture are not bad. If you really want it, you can get it cheaper." The old lady said, looking at Liu Shun and Liu Shun and saying, "I, the old lady, will make this decision for them."
Liu Shun and Aunt Hu immediately nodded, knowing that the old lady was using her words to draw a line to prevent some greedy people in the courtyard from taking advantage of human relationships.
The corner of Yan Bugui's mouth twitched. Of course he understood. Now that the old lady has spoken, she probably won't be able to take advantage of her.
Seeing his hesitation, the old lady said to Li Xiuzhi: "Xiuzhi, go and inform the people in the courtyard later that your Liu Shun's furniture needs to be disposed of. If you want anything, come and have a look and pay for it."
"
"They are all from the same hospital. This can be considered as helping Hu Yatou's family."
Isn't it just to stand on the moral high ground? The old lady will naturally do the same.
"Okay, grandma." Li Xiuzhi nodded and left with a smile. When the third uncle Yan Bugui saw it, he knew that it would be impossible without paying.
Holding back his heartache, he began to choose the things he valued. He wanted to bargain with Liu Shun, but the old lady didn't give him a chance and went to the counter in person.
When Liu Shun and Aunt Hu saw this, they both suppressed their laughter. The third uncle, Yan Bugui, might not be able to take advantage today.
After a while, some people from the courtyard came over. The second-hand furniture was also furniture. Liu Shun's family wanted to move it, so it would probably be cheaper.
After a while, the house suddenly became quite empty, and whatever was left that no one wanted could be disposed of as garbage.
"Girl Hu, keep the money." The old lady smiled and handed the money to Aunt Hu. Aunt Hu took it and thanked the old lady for her help.
"Thank you. If you and your family can come back and see that my old woman is still alive, you have to remember to make some pickles for me, this old woman."
Aunt Hu nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Old lady, with your old body, you will have no problem living for several decades."
The next day, after Lin Jiaguo got off work, he helped cook the dishes. Liu Shun's friends came over. Li Xiuzhi and Li Ermeng both brought tables and benches from their homes.
Liu Shun also invited several people who had good relations with him in the courtyard, and everyone had a meal.
After handling the matters that needed to be dealt with, Liu Shun and his family left. Lin Jiaguo also took leave and sent the family to the train.
There was a vacant room in the yard, and Lin Jiaguo was looking forward to the arrival of a new neighbor, preferably someone who could get along well with him.
On this day, during lunch at the steel rolling mill, because the people in the third canteen had to move things, Lin Jiaguo personally collected the tickets and picked up the food.
While he was picking up the food, he subconsciously glanced at the people in line. When he saw a woman talking to several people, he almost burst into tears.
Let me tell you, that woman seems to be Liang Ladi.
Lin Jiaguo didn't know Liang Ladi, but he had watched the TV series, and more importantly, he met Nan Yi.
Nan Yi's face is not much different from that of the person in the TV series. Now when he looks at this woman, this name pops up in Lin Jiaguo's mind.
Why did Liang Ladi appear here? Shouldn't she be working in the factory where Nanyi works?
With doubts, after finishing the dishes, Lin Jiaguo shook his head and laughed while taking a rest.
In fact, as for Liang Ladi, when I first watched the TV series, I thought she was quite frivolous and could do slightly outrageous things with some men for the sake of her children.
But after watching the TV series, Lin Jiaguo's sense of her became much better.
Especially having personally experienced life in this era, Lin Jiaguo understands the difficulty of being a widow with four children.
Compared with Qin Huairu in the courtyard, Lin Jiaguo's sense of Liang Ladi is much better.
They are all widows with children, it is not easy for them, and they all have their own plans.
Lin Jiaguo said hehe when he thought about the people who whitewashed Qin Huairu on the Internet in his previous life.
Yes, Qin Huairu is indeed a responsible mother. No one can say this.
Liang Ladi also has plans for her children, but when she compares her work attitude with her life attitude, the difference becomes clear.
The situation of Nan Yi and Sha Zhu was very similar, but Nan Yi later had a biological child, and Da Mao's children also sincerely called him dad. This alone makes Liang La Di likeable.
But what did Qin Huairu do to Silly Zhu? He didn't have any children, and his adopted son's attitude towards him was so ho-hum. In the end, the house was gone. For this reason, Lin Jiaguo couldn't like him.
A mother's consideration for her children is great, but when it turns into an extremely selfish act that hurts others, then the greatness of motherly love makes people dislike it.
With his thoughts racing, Lin Jiaguo finished his work for the day. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he saw people moving, as well as factory logistics staff.
This staff member knew Lin Jiaguo, and they greeted each other. Lin Jiaguo handed the staff a cigarette. After the two of them lit it, Lin Jiaguo was about to ask about the new neighbor who had just moved in, when he saw Liang Ladi coming from
Walked out of the courtyard.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Lin Jiaguo choked on his cigarette. Is this her new neighbor?
"This is Master Lin, right? I heard your name when I first came to the steel rolling mill." Liang Ladi came over and greeted her generously. Obviously, this guy was almost familiar with the situation in the yard.
"Hello!" Lin Jiaguo nodded and replied. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Xiuzhi walking out.
"Jiaguo, help Sister Liang move the things!" Li Xiuzhi said. Lin Jiaguo was stunned for a moment, then he realized and also helped move the things.
Liang Ladi thanked her loudly, and soon, people in the front yard were helping to move things.
Seeing that the house where Liang Ladi lived was the original house of Uncle Liu's family, and thinking that Liang Ladi was also a welder, it was no wonder that she appeared here.
After moving, Liang Ladi asked Damao to buy cigarettes and distribute them to the people who helped, saying words of thanks.
As the three elders in the courtyard, they all welcomed the arrival of Liang Ladi and her family at this time.
After talking for a while, everyone dispersed. Liang Ladi still had to clean up the house.
Li Xiuzhi also helped clean up. In the afternoon, Liang Ladi came to the courtyard. The two chatted for a while and felt good.
Lin Jiaguo was about to go back to cook first, and Li Xiuzhi said softly: "Let's make more food later. Sister Liang has just moved in, and we haven't had time to start the cooking yet. We can't let the children go hungry."
Lin Jiaguo nodded and left. Li Xiuzhi and Liang Ladi packed up for a while and finally sorted out the things in the house.
"Xiuzhi, thank you for your help today." Liang Ladi thanked her aloud and said with a smile: "I will treat you to dinner when my sister starts the fire tomorrow."
Li Xiuzhi laughed and said, "We are all neighbors. Sister Liang, you don't have to be polite."
The two talked for a while, and after they had almost finished cleaning up, Li Xiuzhi invited Liang Ladi and her family to have dinner at home.
"Xiuzhi, there's no need for that." Liang Ladi refused and said with a smile, "I'll just buy something to eat later."
"Sister Liang, it's so cold today that you can't let the children eat ice cream." Li Xiuzhi pointed at the four children who were sweating profusely and said with a smile: "It's just a meal, I'll wait for you to take care of it."
All right, please come back."
"Okay, I accept your love!"
Seeing that Li Xiuzhi was sincere, Liang Ladi did not refuse, and took her four children to the Lin family country.
As soon as she entered the house, Liang Ladi first said hello to the old lady and then asked the four children to say hello.
"Hello, Grandma!" The four children said hello in unison, and the old lady responded with a smile.
The food was served quickly. Smelling the aroma, Liang Ladi smiled and said, "You are lucky to have a chef at home, Xiuzhi."
A few people chatted and laughed before getting ready to eat. Although Da Mao's four children kept swallowing, they did not grab the food randomly. The old lady glanced at the four children, then looked at Liang Ladi, and nodded slightly.
From small things to big things, just this small gesture shows that Liang Ladi educates her children very well.
"Here, let's all eat." The old lady picked up vegetables for the four children. After the four children expressed their thanks, they started to eat.
After eating, everyone sat down and chatted. Lin Jiaguo looked at her, thought for a while and asked, "Sister Liang, do you know Nan Yi?"
"Nanyi?" Liang Ladi was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed and said, "I know him, do you know him too?"
"Of course we know each other." Lin Jiaguo nodded and told the story of their friendship with a smile. Liang Ladi listened with a bit more joy in her smile. They had such a relationship just after moving here, so the gap was not so big.
Already.
While chatting about Nanyi, Lin Jiaguo could feel that Liang Ladi's tone and expression were a little strange.
No, these two people have already slept together, right?
Lin Jiaguo thought for a while and shook his head slightly. Liang Ladi can now appear in this courtyard, and other changes must be quite big.
That guy from Nan Yi, the one he likes most is Ding Qiunan, but all Ding Qiunan thinks about is going to medical school. Thinking that he didn't see Ding Qiunan when he met Nan Yi last time, he probably had a conflict.
Looking at Liang Ladi in front of him, Lin Jiaguo thought about the incident in the TV series where Nan Yi was forced to sleep with her, and he wanted to laugh a little.
This approach may have some scheming implications. Although it was a bit more aggressive, few people could criticize Liang Ladi's subsequent actions.
After chatting for a while, Liang Ladi took her children and left. After returning to the house and letting the four children sleep, Liang Ladi sighed slightly as she thought about the Lin family and her family and Nanyi.
"That's all." After murmuring softly, Liang Ladi closed her eyes and went to sleep. Now that she has transferred her work, her interactions with Nan Yi will be even less.
In the next few days, Liang Ladi became familiar with her work in the steel rolling mill and the situation in the courtyard. As both widows, she and Qin Huairu had a good relationship.
But when she saw Qin Huairu and Shazhu, she unconsciously thought of Nan Yi.
…
On this day, when I was taking a break at noon, a person from the security department came to the kitchen to look for Lin Jiaguo.
"Master Lin, a man named Nan Yi is looking for you. He is right outside the steel rolling mill."
When he heard the name Nan Yi, Lin Jiaguo had a strange expression. Nan Yi knew where his family lived, and there was no way he would come to the steel rolling mill to find him.
Lin Jiaguo came out of the gate of the steel rolling mill. When Nan Yi saw him, he smiled and greeted him.
"Brother Nan, what's the matter with you?" The two of them were smoking, Lin Jiaguo asked, Nan Yi looked a little embarrassed, subconsciously looked around, and then said softly: "Jiaguo, you are familiar with the steel rolling mill.
Please help me pay attention to a female welder named Liang Ladi who has just been transferred to your factory, and help my brother find out where she lives."
Lin Jiaguo blew out a puff of smoke, stared at Nan Yi, and asked: "Brother Nan, what's the matter between you and Ding Qiunan?"
When Nan Yi heard this, his expression darkened and he smiled bitterly: "Because of some misunderstandings, we failed."
As soon as these words came out, the corner of Lin Jiaguo's mouth twitched. It seemed that Liang Ladi had already taken action against Nan Yi. She was probably the only one who could make Ding Qiunan misunderstand.
The two talked about Ding Qiunan for a while. Lin Jiaguo listened and sighed slightly.
Although Liang Ladi was causing trouble, Ding Qiunan was too obsessed with going to medical school.
Obsession became a demon, causing her to subconsciously ignore some things. As a result, disputes were inevitable.
"Brother Nan, the Liang Ladi you mentioned is staying in our hospital now." Lin Jiaguo patted his shoulder and blew out a puff of smoke.
"Your hospital?" Nan Yi also smiled at this time and said: "It seems that my brother is right to come to you. This will save a lot of trouble."
Seeing him laughing, Lin Jiaguo frowned and said softly: "Brother Nan, although I don't know what happened between you, you have to think about it carefully."
Nan Yi was stunned and his expression changed. Lin Jiaguo looked at him and sighed slightly in his heart. Nan Yi probably never let go of Ding Qiunan.
"Brother Nan, I have to go back to work. After work, let's go to my house for a drink."
Lin Jiaguo, who didn't want to disturb him, said something and turned to leave. Looking at his back, Nan Yi sighed with regret and turned to leave.
Back in the kitchen, Lin Jiaguo shook his head and laughed, reminding Nan Yi that he could do it. As for what he chose, that was his business.
Now that Liang Ladi has been transferred here, even if there are sworn enemies in Nanyi's workplace who often cause misunderstandings between him and Ding Qiunan, the destructive effect will probably be less.
If Nanyi finally chose Liang Ladi under such circumstances, it would be the choice deep in his heart.
After work, Lin Jiaguo was about to go home. On the way, he was stopped by Nan Yi. He did not go to the courtyard.
The two of them came to the restaurant, ordered wine and food, and started drinking. Seeing that this guy was so sad, Lin Jiaguo also drank with him.
When he was a little drunk, Nan Yicai kept talking about him, Ding Qiunan, Cui Dake, and Liang Ladi. It was simply a wonderful script.
Lin Jiaguo listened quietly, knowing that this brother was feeling uncomfortable. Thinking of Cui Dake and Nan Yi, and also of Silly Zhu and Xu Damao, he shook his head and laughed.
"My country, I need time now, I need time..."
Nan Yi spoke intermittently, and Lin Jiaguo drank a drink and said: "Brother Nan, I won't tell her about your appointment with Liang Ladi. You can find her later after you decide."
"Thank you!" Nan Yi drank another drink and said with a wry smile: "Sometimes I can't let go and feel guilty. My brother feels uncomfortable. It's not a good feeling."
The two chatted for almost two hours. They felt that Nan Yi had sobered up a little, and then they separated.
Back in the courtyard, Lin Jiaguo glanced at Liang Ladi's house and shook his head slightly. Maybe Nan Yi would come to her, maybe he wouldn't come, and life had to go on.
Just after Liang Ladi became familiar with the life of the courtyard, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai finally found a bicycle ticket for Sha Zhu. After borrowing money from the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu went to buy a bicycle.
As soon as he bought the bicycle, Shazhu also bought candies and delivered them to every house in the courtyard.
"Si Zhu, are you buying a car?" Qin Huairu looked at the bicycle and opened her mouth not knowing what to say. Especially after knowing that Si Zhu had borrowed a lot of money from the uncle, she felt heartbroken.
She felt distressed, and Mrs. Jia Zhang felt even more distressed. From now on, Sha Zhu would have to repay the money to the elder Yi Zhonghai every month, so wouldn't their family have to pay a lot less if they wanted to borrow money from Sha Zhu.
When Mrs. Jia Zhang secretly scolded Silly Zhu for being stupid, her eyes widened when she saw Silly Zhu grinning and saying that he would take Qin Huairu with him to get off work from now on.
not good!
This kid actually had this idea. Jia Zhang's anger suddenly surged up. He did let go for some calculations at that time, but Silly Zhu was climbing up the pole.
When the curse words were about to come out, Qin Huairu had a better reaction time than her. As soon as she heard Si Zhu's words, she knew something was wrong.
Before her mother-in-law Jia Zhang could curse, she hurriedly came over and pulled her.
"Mom, if you make a fuss, Silly Zhu will think too much."
After giving a gentle reminder, Qin Huairu came over and said a few words to Sha Zhu before returning to the house.
After the door was closed, Mrs. Jia Zhang's face was completely dark. She stared at Qin Huairu. She suppressed her anger and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, when you asked me to let go, were you thinking of today?"
Qin Huairu looked at her, dumbfounded and said: "Mom, what I said will not change, don't think too much about it."
Don’t think too much? How is that possible!
Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with suspicion and said coldly: "You'd better remember what you said. If I know what you're doing, I can't get around you."
Qin Huairu nodded and said nothing. After Jia Zhang said a few more vicious words, she cursed Silly Zhu again, "What kind of bicycle does this guy buy? Can he eat it?"
Without listening to her ramble, Qin Huairu got up and went to cook. While she was touched by what Si Zhu just said, she felt even more guilty.
After finally suppressing the guilt in her heart, Qin Huairu murmured softly: "Silly Zhu, don't blame you, Sister Qin."
After taking a deep breath, she went out to wash the vegetables with a normal expression. Silly Zhu was bragging and spanking with people in the yard.
In the front yard, in the house, Liang Ladi looked at her four children muttering around the three children of Lin Jiaguo. She smiled at Li Xiuzhi and said: "Xiuzhi, that Master He just now was so kind to Qin Huairu. Let's go together." It’s such a good day after get off work.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhi looked strange, and the old lady shook her head slightly.
Seeing the two of them like this, Liang Ladi felt something was wrong and said, "Why, did I say something wrong?"
She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Qin Huairu was a widow with three children, and she, Liang Ladi, was also a widow with four children. It would be great to have an intimate person to help her.
Liang Ladi envies Qin Huairu now. With Shazhu as a chef, her life will be much easier in the future.
In the Siheyuan and the steel rolling mill, Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu were talking and laughing. They were both people who had been there before. Why couldn't Liang Ladi see that Sha Zhu was interested in Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu did not refuse Si Zhu's help. In Liang Ladi's view, this was obviously a success.
"Girl, you just lived here, you still have to see." The old lady reminded, she liked Da Mao, these four polite children, and didn't want Liang Ladi, who was also a widow, not to understand something.
