Chapter 127 Returning to hometown for the New Year
When Qin Huairu returned home, she was slapped in the face by Jia Zhang before she could say anything.
Qin Huairu was so wronged. She almost succeeded, but this woman ruined her good deeds. If it were an ordinary person, who could endure such a bad breath?
Jia Zhang took off her clothes and threw them on the ground, then pulled the quilt over her body.
"Hmph. If it wasn't for the sake of pregnancy, I would have kicked you to death!"
Jia Zhang said harshly, "I'm asking you to ask for something, I'm not asking you to be wild."
"You are so close to that little beast, do you think I can't see you?"
"You prodigal, why did our Jia family find you as their wife? Look, what are your advantages?"
"My eldest grandson has suffered because of you. Do you still have the nerve to talk to this family? Are you worthy of Dongxu and this family?"
Jia Zhang is a paper tiger outside, but a tyrannical overlord at home.
Facing Qin Huairu, he was not polite.
Qin Huairu trembled in her heart when she heard this.
"Why am I sorry for this family? It was you who asked me to go, it was you who asked for things, and it was you who was worried about me. What did I do wrong?"
Qin Huairu's numerous grievances completely exploded at this moment.
"You, you, how dare you speak like this? You ungrateful person, you, make me so angry."
"ah……"
"I'm not alive anymore, I'm not filial! Someone is coming, come and see, my daughter-in-law is bullying her mother-in-law."
Mrs. Jia and Zhang ignored her and could only mess around. At that moment, the door was pushed open.
Jia Dongxu walked back from outside, walked around the street, and went to sit with some people he had good relations with.
The Chinese New Year was about to come, and everyone was busy, but no one paid attention to him, and he finally came back empty-handed with a gloomy look on his face.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother crying on the bed covered with quilt. Then I saw Qin Huairu standing aside, and I kicked Qin Huairu without even thinking about it.
Qin Huairu sat down on the ground with a thud, looking at Jia Dongxu in astonishment, tears of grievance falling down her face.
Jia Dongxu didn't even look at it. He walked up to Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Dongxu, your wife is unruly."
"Mom asked her to order something to eat, so she came up to Yang Xiaotao. She wanted to..."
"Dongxu, I didn't. Mom asked me to go, and I didn't do anything sorry for you!"
Qin Huairu didn't dare to let Jia Zhang talk nonsense, so she quickly explained.
But Jia Dongxu didn't listen. He turned around and shouted, "If I tell you to go, just go."
"Is the stuff coming?"
Qin Huairu was stunned, "Dongxu!"
She didn't expect that Jia Dongxu didn't take her seriously at all, and even the grievances he suffered were ignored, and all he cared about was whether he got something.
For a moment, Qin Huairu was speechless.
"without!"
"Why are you still here when I haven't asked for it? Didn't you see that Mom's clothes are wet? Wash them quickly. You have to wear them tomorrow."
Jia Dongxu scolded Qin Huairu, not caring that Qin Huairu was also wearing wet clothes.
Qin Huairu couldn't believe her ears. She had to wash clothes at night, in such a cold weather, and without hot water. It would cost her her life.
"Dongxu, how do you wash it at night?"
"Oh, how to wash it? Of course, wash it by hand."
"Hurry up and make mom unhappy. Don't come back to bed until you finish washing."
With that said, Jia Dongxu went to look at Bangge, while Jia Zhang on the other side was lying on the bed and sleeping under a quilt.
As for Qin Huairu, neither of them even glanced at her.
Qin Huairu endured the pain on her face, picked up her clothes and came to the yard in grievance.
bang bang bang
Chachacha
The sound of washing clothes sounded in the middle of the night.
Qin Huairu threw her clothes hard, her ten fingers were red from the cold water, and the bruises on her face were hidden in the dark night.
The sound of washing clothes kept coming, and several people who woke up cursed and opened the door.
After using the moonlight to see clearly that it was Qin Huairu, he walked into the room again cursing.
"The Jia family is really rich."
"The old godly woman is teasing her daughter-in-law again..."
"Qin Huairu is also a poor person..."
Words of sympathy kept coming, and Qin Huairu felt some comfort in her heart.
Her fingers were cold, and her eyes looked towards the ottoman where the light was still on. A figure was vaguely visible, but it made her teeth chatter with hatred.
Yang Xiaotao finished the chicken and saved the soup in the pot for making instant noodles tomorrow. After cleaning up, he read for a while to dispel the bad luck at night, and then fell asleep.
As he said, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and every household wants to be more stable, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.
Otherwise, if this was normal, he would have arranged it for Jia Zhang.
The next day, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Xiaotao got up early in the morning and went out with gifts to visit Zhou Peng and Wang Fa's friends' homes. In the afternoon, he went to Director Wang's home.
After telling Director Wang that he was going back to the village to celebrate the New Year this year, he directly took out two bottles of wine and asked him to take them back to honor the old party secretary. Yang Xiaotao couldn't refuse and had to accept them.
Returning to the courtyard in the evening, Yang Xiaotao brought back some things, which naturally made the animals in the courtyard uncomfortable.
The most uncomfortable thing is the Jia family, who are even more sad this year than usual.
Not only did it add a good joke, but I also lost a lot of money because of the Full Moon Wine incident, and I don’t have much savings. If it weren’t for Yi Zhonghai’s help, it would be hard to say whether this year would be a New Year.
I went to Uncle Chen's house for dinner in the evening, which was a good wish in advance.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Xiaotao got up early and packed his things.
The sun had just warmed up when a man wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket walked in outside the yard.
"Brother Stone!"
Yang Xiaotao walked forward enthusiastically. Yang Shitou was cold and it looked like he got up in the dark and hurried on.
"Xiao Tao, hey!"
"Brother Shitou, come into the house quickly. If you haven't eaten yet, please return it."
“I ate it on the way, it’s not bad!”
Yang Shitou showed a simple smile, which made Yang Xiaotao feel cordial.
Pulling Yang Shitou into the house, Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of ham from the kitchen, poured two packs of instant noodles with boiling water, and scrambled two eggs. He saw Yang Shitou's eyes tightened.
"Brother Shitou, are you okay, Master?"
When Yang Shitou heard the question, he remembered his grandfather's explanation and quickly said, "Okay, okay!"
The smile that looked at Yang Xiaotao was somewhat envious.
Soon the instant noodles were soaked, the eggs were taken out of the pot, and a large bowl was handed to Yang Shitou.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Eat quickly, we have to move things later!"
Yang Xiaotao pointed to the things packed aside. Yang Shitou just glanced at them and couldn't take them out.
At first glance, there were four or five large bags in the pile. It was hard to see what was bulging inside, but with his nose that could smell meat from a mile away, there must be meat inside, and there was quite a lot of it.
In addition, what he saw was the wine bottle next to him, which instantly made his Adam's apple surge.
"My dear, are these all?"
The noodles in Yang Shitou's hand suddenly lost their flavor.
Yang Xiaotao nodded casually, "Not much, take it back and greet the folks."
Yang Shitou's eyes widened, "Isn't that much? Our village has never had so much wine during the Chinese New Year!"
Yang Xiaotao didn't care after hearing this. He knew the situation in rural areas in this era. Even in this forty-nine cities, there were not many families with so many things.
The reason why I can make up for this is not only because I earn more, but also because of the rewards from the system.
In the exchange column, you can use credits to exchange for supplies and equipment. In addition to extra money every month for fishing and cooking skills, there are also food stamps, meat stamps and other scarce supplies.
With all this, Yang Xiaotao, who looks "lavish" to outsiders, was able to save these things.
Of course, the part taken out is only a small half of the space.
Yang Shitou sighed and was soon woken up by his stomach growling. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Yang Xiaotao walked aside and started packing his clothes.
You should bring some clothes with you when you get home. Even though they are all used in the space, they also need to look stylish.
After a while, the backpack was full. In addition to clothes and shoes, there was also a hundred yuan, in various denominations. The big ones were used for errands, and the small ones were used as lucky money for a festive occasion.
Wearing a new military coat, a watch, and a backpack slung across his body, he looked like a young man of the times.
Yang Shitou here had already finished the noodles, drank all the soup, and touched his lips at the end. If he hadn't been out, he would have wanted to lick the bowl again.
Touching his stretched belly, Yang Shitou became even more enthusiastic about Yang Xiaotao.
If nothing else, this is the meal that my family cannot eat once a year.
"It's time to talk about going home!"
Yang Shitou thought about going back to the village to show off, and his expression became excited.
After a while, the two began to move things into the car.
"Brother Shitou, these are clothes and shoes, put them at the bottom!"
"This is flour and oil, don't pour it!"
"Oh, be careful, this is an egg, slow down!"
"The meat is ready."
Yang Xiaotao reminded Yang Shitou while moving things, which made the neighbors in the courtyard full of emotion.
Is this going home for the New Year? This is moving!
Yan Fugui leaned against the door, calculating how much Yang Xiaotao spent on this trip.
The eyes of the three aunts next to her shone brightly, looking at the lump of meat on the car with a longing expression.
Of course, the basket of eggs and oil noodles were shocking to my eyes.
Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu were together, muttering, "It must be the family fortune left by Lao Yang."
Jia Dongxu nodded, and Jia Zhang also followed suit.
Only Qin Huairu, who was holding a stick behind her, knew that Yang Xiaotao had been looking for doctors everywhere for Lao Yang's body, including several barefoot doctors, and spent an endless amount of money.
Unknown to others, she didn't know that she had been deceived several times and had spent a lot of money to get a wife.
With all this, the money I borrowed was draining my family's fortune, and I even borrowed some money.
However, now she also has some doubts. How could Yang Xiaotao save so much in just over a year?
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were also shocked. They didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to buy so many things.
Although people in the courtyard had said that Yang Xiaotao had bought a lot these days, they never expected it to be so much.
"Lao Yi, Yang Xiaotao doesn't seem to be living a normal life."
Holding the teapot in her bangs, she is not afraid of freezing weather.
Yi Zhonghai was thoughtful, "Tell me, could it be..."
Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes and said, "I have to ask his third uncle about this matter. I'll go to the front yard."
Yang Xiaotao and the other two packed up their things, told Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, then got on the donkey cart and headed out.
In this era, apart from bicycles comparable to luxury cars, most of the means of transportation for ordinary people were donkey carts and horse-drawn carriages.
Sitting on the streetcar, Yang Xiaotao held on to the piles of objects, while Yang Shitou in front took the lead and took the lead to walk out of the city with a brisk pace.
Watching the donkey cart drive away, Liu Haizhong walked up to Yan Fugui and patted his shoulder hard.
Yan Fugui came back to his senses from the calculation and saw Liu Haizhong, still muttering, "One hundred yuan, one hundred yuan!"
"What a hundred dollars?"
Yan Fugui's eyes flashed, "This guy needs at least a hundred yuan to buy those things."
"This guy is really having a hard time."
Yan Fugui was heartbroken, how could anyone live like this?
I ate them all during the New Year, and drank the northwest wind after the New Year.
Liu Haizhong was also surprised, but he was still convinced of Yan Fugui's arithmetic skills.
He said one hundred yuan, which was definitely more than less.
The thoughts in my heart became more and more determined.
"Third uncle, you have also seen that this Yang family boy usually..."
After Yan Fugui heard this, calculations surged from his eyes.
