Yang Xiaotao was pushing a stroller with two daughters playing in the yard.
The laughter of the two daughters echoed in the yard like silver bells. Gradually, that sense of happiness made her deeply envious.
"Silly Zhu, how wonderful it would be if we could do this to her two daughters!"
Outside the house, Yang Xiaotao cooked the fish and stuffed it in the pot. Taking advantage of the time, he pushed the cart and took his two girls out to play.
Ran Qiuye returned to Yangjiazhuang, and Ran's mother came over to help take care of the child.
These days, taking care of children is no easy task. Sometimes, even the adults can’t get enough to take care of the children.
Therefore, no matter how busy he is at work, Yang Xiaotao will go home as soon as possible to help.
After all, one and two are completely different.
"Tao, Brother Tao!"
Zhou Kui came out holding Xiao Yu.
The little girl looks similar to the two of them, and her body is not small. Although she is one year younger than Duanwu, she is almost catching up with her in size.
Seeing two younger sisters sitting there, I got down and insisted on pushing the cart.
"Where's Yuhua?"
"Go back to my parents' house to give me something!"
Zhou Kui smiled and had no objection to his wife's actions.
At present, their family is considered a wealthy family in this courtyard, and Zhou's mother usually comes and goes for two days to help take care of the children.
This is the benefit of having an elderly person.
The two talked for a while, and then there was a noise outside, which sounded like Yan Jiecheng's. Many people in the courtyard ran out to watch the excitement.
The two of them didn't go to get together, they just looked after the children in the yard.
After talking for a while, Liu Yuhua came back from outside with a piece of wax meat hanging on his hand.
When they saw the two of them, they started talking about things outside.
Yu Li's sister Yu Haitang came to Yan's house for dinner, but she got into a quarrel with Yan Jiecheng over something, saying that Yan Jiecheng was incompetent and that a woman should take care of a man's family.
Yan Jiecheng's face was dull, and even the three aunts were so angry that they fainted.
"This Yu Haitang is not a good person either. I heard that after divorcing Yang Weimin, she started flirting with a few people again. She has high ambitions but low intentions. She is becoming more and more unruly."
Liu Yuhua said disdainfully, thinking that this man had previously had an idea of Yang Xiaotao, he looked down upon him even more.
"You are not a family, you don't belong to the same family." Yang Xiaotao replied, and then took the children home to prepare for dinner.
In the front yard, seeing Yan Jie acting like a loser, Yu Haitang was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she took her sister Yu Li and walked out.
"Sister, why do new women in the new era have to work for the Yan family?"
"You still have to turn in the money you earn. Why are you still doing this?"
"Let's go home, just because of you, I don't believe no one will want you!"
After saying that, he pulled the reluctant Yu Li out.
"Go, go, go. If you leave, don't come back!"
Yan Jiecheng looked at the playful looks of the people around him and shouted out tough words with a man's last stubbornness.
In the room, Yan Fugui's face looked gloomy.
"Men, you can't be incapable!"
"Otherwise, no matter how many calculations you make, it will be in vain."
Jia family.
"Mom, why doesn't Uncle Silly come back yet?"
Xiaodang was lying in front of the window sill, his voice full of resentment as he spoke.
Today is already the fifth day.
For five days, Shazhuguan seemed to have disappeared. He did not go back to the courtyard at night, let alone deliver lunch boxes to their family.
In the past few days, every time Jia Zhang scolded Silly Uncle, Xiaodang would consciously defend him, thinking that Silly Uncle was not that kind of person.
But now, Xiaodang also feels that Uncle Sha has forgotten them.
I won’t bring them lunch boxes anymore.
Qin Huairu lit a fire in front of the pot. Inside the pot was cabbage wowotou, a home-cooked dish these days.
When she heard Xiaodang's question, she didn't know how to answer.
During the day, she went to the eldest mother to inquire about the news, but the eldest mother didn't know the specific situation. She just assumed that she was too busy with work and had no time to come back.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to go home and wait. When Silly Zhu comes back next time, he must ask clearly.
In the past few days, without the toilet bowl lunch box, the whole family has lost weight.
There was no way, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang had to go to the streets to do labor, and they couldn't eat well, so they naturally lost weight.
"Damn Silly Zhu, you can't see anyone alive or dead, you can't be like his father He Daqing, who ran away with the widow!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang cursed, covering her stomach with both hands, and her triangular eyes were full of malice.
Suddenly, Mr. Zhang sniffed the air, then quickly lay down next to the window, pushed Xiaodang aside, and looked outside.
"This poor Yang Xiaotao must die a good death. Why doesn't God have a good eye and let him become a destitute person?"
"I eat and drink spicy food every day, why don't I eat you to death!"
Gudong~~
Swallowing the saliva made me feel even hungrier.
"Dogs are not human beings..."
Mrs. Jia Zhang expressed her inner pain and jealousy. If Yang Xiaotao's current status had not frightened her, she would have had other thoughts.
Even so, if you don't dare to curse openly, you can still get enough of it by swearing a few words secretly.
Little Sophora japonica smelled the fish fragrance in the air, and opened the door to let more of the fragrance in!
"Mom, I want to eat fish!"
Huaihua swallowed her saliva and stared blankly at the yard outside.
Qin Huairu suppressed the sadness in her heart and pretended not to hear it, but she knew in her heart that the absence of a man in this family would be the same as falling on the ground.
Right now, all she can hold on to is the straw.
It’s just Silly Zhu, where is he now?
"What's the point of raising two losers? They'll eat you to death sooner or later!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang scolded her so much that she turned around and sat down to wait for the steamed buns.
Qin Huairu looked outside, "Zhuzhu, where are you?"
Just when Qin Huairu was thinking about Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu was sitting in front of a stove with a sad expression.
Next to him was a thin young man, not tall or big, always with a smile on his face.
This man is none other than Shazhu’s apprentice, Ma Hua.
A few days ago, Sha Gui took over a job and was making banquets for people. He met Ma Hua who was helping out.
Then I learned about the situation of MCA during this period.
Since being fired from the machinery factory, it has been even more difficult for MCA to find a job.
In addition, he didn't know much about the craftsmanship, so even if he wanted to make banquets for others, no one would use them.
I can only rely on beatings to earn some money for food, and my life is miserable.
Knowing what happened to MCA, Shazhu felt compassion.
Speaking of which, the reason why MCA has fallen to its current situation has a lot to do with him.
When the two met again, MCA still respected him.
It also made him determined to learn both skills.
Following MCA home, what surprised him was that besides MCA there was another person here, Liu Lan.
In other words, this is the home of Liu Lan and MCA.
In addition to the two of them, there are also Liu Lan's two daughters.
When old friends met, they naturally had a good conversation and learned about their situation.
Liu Lan now works in a branch factory, and her former man was involved in gambling. After the intervention of the neighborhood office and the women's association, she successfully divorced and her son was raised by the man. She lives with her two daughters.
Then, I got together with MCA.
"Master, take a look!"
In front of the stove, Sha Zhu was thinking about why Liu Lan fell in love with Ma Hua, when Ma Hua happily brought over the cooked dishes.
Silly Zhu raised his head and looked old, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks, chewed it slowly, and finally commented, "Well, this Kung Pao Chicken is made to a seven or eight point level, not bad, enough for you kid!"
Ma Hua nodded quickly, "Master, you taught me well!"
As he said this, Silly Zhu asked Ma Hua to sit down and asked, "Are you really close to Liu Lan? What kind of guy can you find?"
"You also know that in those years, she worked in the kitchen at the machinery factory, and she didn't know anyone named Li."
Hearing this, Ma Hua hesitated and said, "Master, Sister Lan is a very nice person. I don't care about her past."
"Besides, she doesn't dislike me the way I am now. She still wants to give birth to a child for me."
Speaking of this, Ma Hua looked solemn, "For this, she even went to the hospital to get the ring!"
"In this way, our Ma family will have a heir."
At the end of the sentence, Ma Hua had a smile on his face.
Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, he has a future.
He is a fool, will he have a queen?
Then he patted Ma Bi with some envy and said, "As long as you like it!"
He then took out a palm-sized oil paper bag next to him and said, "This is the seasoning I specially prepared. Take a handful each time you put it out of the pan. Don't add too much. Just be sparing. It will last for a year or two."
"With this thing, it won't be a problem to open up a way to support our family."
Ma Hua nodded gratefully and was very grateful to Shazhu.
"Okay, I haven't been back for the past few days. I'm leaving."
"You guys, live your life well and let me know when you come to dinner."
"Okay, Master!"
Silly Zhu waved his hand and left without interest.
MCA is about to get married. Although she is not marrying a young lady, she is still a young wife.
This is like having a home.
"Zilla, silly pillar."
While walking, Shazhu suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He quickly stopped and turned around, and saw Liu Lan running over with a lunch box in his hand.
Coming closer, Liu Lan stuffed the lunch box into Silly Zhu's hand, "You're a grown man, you've lost everything, so hurry up and grab it."
"By the way, you are going back to the courtyard, right? There is Kung Pao Chicken in here, take it back to Widow Qin."
Silly Zhu was holding the lunch box, a little at a loss.
"Liu Lan, you, you..."
Silly Zhu didn't know what to say, but Liu Lan smiled generously.
"You want to ask me why I fell in love with MCA."
Silly Zhu pursed his lips.
Liu Lan smiled, "Actually, I found that I just thought too much."
"I'm afraid that I won't find a good person, I'm afraid that my children will be mistreated, and I'm afraid of what will happen in the future..."
"That's why it's been delayed until now."
"If I had made up my mind earlier, I would have lived the life I have now. Why do I need to suffer this fate?"
"In the future, I will give birth to a son for MCA to make this family more complete."
Liu Lan sighed with emotion, looked at the dumbfounded Silly Zhu again, and thought for a while before speaking seriously. "Zhuzi, we can be considered acquaintances. You are MCA's master. After all, we can be considered colleagues and relatives."
"I have something to say. If you want to hear it, just listen to it. If you don't, just think that I am a big talker and don't take it to heart."
Shazhu nodded after hearing this.
"I know you are close to Qin Huairu."
"But women know women best."
"Qin Huairu, this woman, has too many things on her mind. If you really want to live with her, you can't delay. The longer you delay, the less choice you have."
"Cut the knot quickly. If you really want to agree, take her to the hospital for a checkup, so that you can give her a heir to the He family."
After saying that, he turned around and went home.
There, MCA was smiling and waving.
Silly Zhu felt the temperature coming from the lunch box and waved to Ma Hua.
But in my heart, I kept Liu Lan's words in mind.
Entrance to Siheyuan Hutong.
Silly Zhu walked towards the yard full of thoughts. As soon as he turned the corner, he bumped into two people. Fortunately, the three reacted quickly and nothing happened.
"Silly Zhu, you don't have eyes."
Yu Haitang saw clearly who was coming and shouted angrily.
Next to her, Yu Li smiled apologetically at Silhu, and the two of them ran past.
Silly Zhu rubbed his chest and walked into the courtyard with his lunch box.
"Si Zhu, Si Zhu is back."
At the door of Jia's house, Mrs. Jia Zhang threw down the half-bitten steamed bun and ran out quickly.
Seeing Silhu and the heavy lunch box in his hand, Qin Huairu finally let go.
Silly Zhu handed the lunch box to Jia Zhang, then walked into the room and looked at the two girls.
In the Mahua family, there is also such a pair of daughters.
"You, you, where have you been these days?"
Qin Huairu opened the lunch box and looked at the diced chicken inside.
Silly Zhu smiled and told the story about Ma Hua and Liu Lan, Qin Huairu's eyes flashed.
"It's pretty good that they two are together."
Silly Zhu nodded, then looked at Qin Huairu, "Huairu, are you willing to marry me."
Qin Huairu tightened her hands and glanced at Jia Zhang who was eating. She glanced at him and then continued to pull the lunch box.
On the other side, Xiaodang and Sophora japonica were also laughing and eating...
"You, why do you ask this?"
Qin Huairu asked sheepishly, and then lowered her voice and said, "I, don't you know how I feel about you?"
Silly Zhu was solemn as never before, "I am already thirty this year."
"If you really want to marry me, let's go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup, get the certificate, and live our lives."
"Hospital? Checkup?"
For a moment, Qin Huairu felt his head was buzzing and his face turned pale.
"Yes, I want a family and a wife."
snap
The chopsticks in Jia Zhang's hands fell on the table, and her triangular eyes were filled with resentment.
