At half past six in late autumn, every household in the courtyard has already turned on the lights.
I had no choice but to light a lamp. The sun would set in the west after four o'clock, and it would get dark at half past five. It was already dark now.
This year's winter management fee was collected early and comfortably, and the lights in the courtyard were turned on early.
Just like the chimney of the concierge, it’s all paid by everyone anyway, so it’s free if you don’t use it!
Those who got off work early went home and packed up to prepare dinner, while those who got off work late must have gathered together for a walk back.
It was dark and the roads were unsafe, so people who knew each other would go home from get off work together.
Of course, at this time of day, the roads were crowded with workers after get off work. Even if they were causing trouble at night, they would be lighting up lanterns in the toilets and seeking death.
How early or late you get off work basically depends on whether you have a means of transportation.
It seems that people like Qin Huairu and the second uncle who have bicycles come back early from get off work.
But those like Lao Qi and others who couldn't afford to give up and couldn't afford a bicycle had to rely on two legs to get around. It was pointless to walk alone.
So, the darkness is an excuse for everyone to walk together, which also creates opportunities for young people who want to find a partner, right?
Young men and women who are first friends are shy. Sometimes young men are even shyer than young women.
With the excuse of walking together, you look at me, I look at you, and we walk together.
Love at this time is both conservative and open. Those who are conservative are really conservative, and those who are open are really open.
I'm so conservative that I feel blushing even if I hold hands, and I'm so open-minded that I can sleep on the floor in a deserted place in the middle of winter without feeling my butt freeze.
Men, women, old and young gathered together and it was as lively as a courtyard.
Of course, every family in this courtyard has different ways of living their lives. Some of the richer ones light up lamps when it gets dark, while those who don't care about the inner and outer rooms just light up the lights when someone is there, keeping their hearts open.
For example, at the grandpa's house, the eldest mom will turn on all the lights in the house before the grandpa comes back from get off work, so that her husband can see something when he enters the hospital, which makes her heart feel warm.
In the words of young people, the happiest thing in life is that no matter how late you get off work, there is always a light that lights up for you.
Hey, I live my life carefully!
You see, the front yard of the third uncle’s house is like this. When it gets dark, just turn on the kitchen light, and you can’t let the third aunt cook. You can’t discredit the cooking.
When the food is ready, the lights in the kitchen go out and the lights in the living room come on. Let's eat together quickly and don't waste any time.
There are many residents who seem to be so concerned about the electricity bill. Just listen. Every time at this time, there are always adults in the courtyard urging the children to eat quickly and do their homework after eating.
Someone asked me why I hadn't heard that they cared so much before, even if their children had to play with the lights on.
The reason is that the charging method for light and electrical appliances has been changed, and the light bulbs are no longer checked with fingers.
I don’t know which unscrupulous person invented this bad thing, the meter, which makes every household pay a lot more for electricity every month.
The high-wattage light bulbs that I used to light have all been replaced by small-wattage light bulbs. In order to save money, I don’t even light the light bulbs anymore but light kerosene lamps.
In order to save electricity bills, the third uncle’s family even has to turn the sound box to the minimum volume when listening to it. It is said that this saves electricity!
The whole family was like thieves, leaning their ears against the speaker of the radio, even breathing loudly, for fear of affecting the listening experience of others.
Never underestimate the frugal thinking of Chinese people, sometimes even at the expense of health and life.
Take a kerosene lamp as an example. There are frequent power outages at this time. Some are due to power rationing, some are broken wires, or there is a fire. There are various reasons.
When the power goes out, people can't stop, they have to continue to live their lives.
Therefore, every house has a power outage weapon, either a candle lamp or a kerosene lamp.
Kerosene is cheaper than candles, and good candles are as expensive as eggs.
There's just one disadvantage. Burning kerosene will scratch your throat, which is not very friendly to the respiratory tract.
No matter how early we are, we all know that electricity was even more inconvenient at that time, and every household lit kerosene lamps.
There are students who read and study at night. When they go out the next morning, their faces are covered with dust, and the inside of their noses are pitch black.
What I know is that I studied hard last night, but what I don’t know is that I thought I went down the well to dig coal.
But does kerosene really cost less than electricity?
If you do the math, you may not know how much you can save. After all, kerosene also has storage costs.
Conditions of use, brightness, adaptability to the environment, etc. If you really use this to live a frugal life, it will be really miserable.
The Li family also lives frugally, but they never save money that should be spent, and never spend money that should be saved.
The old lady was sitting on the kang, looking at Li Shu, while making small clothes and quilts for the baby who was about to be born.
Don't ever say that the old lady is partial and does things for the elder's family but not for the second child's family.
Li Shu's small clothes and quilts have to be stored in a separate cabinet. When Gu Ning gives birth, there is no need to prepare anything.
Even if it's a baby, the old lady doesn't need to worry about it, Qin Jingru has already prepared it.
Liu Yin is also doing it at home, but if she can't prepare it, she has to prepare it for Li Shu, too, and it's not that complete.
Zhao Yafang was reading information in the south room, while Liu Yin was cooking and cooking in the main room. They were all busy, and no one spoke. Only Li Shu in the north room stood by the window and screamed.
Every day at this time, her father would appear at the gate of the hospital on time to pick her up and take her home.
This little girl has gradually become familiar with this rhythm of life. She rides Didi with Baba to her grandma's house in the morning and rides Didi back to her home in the evening.
She can meet so many people and talk so much in one day, which is really fun.
Baba came late today, but she stood by the window early and waited.
Maybe she was in a hurry, or maybe her wife was busy, and no one paid any attention to her, so she kept talking non-stop.
It was too bright inside the room, and too dark outside. The lamp on top of the courtyard door was still a little far away.
So if Li Shu wanted to see the outside clearly, she had to imitate her wife and cover her eyes with both hands and look out against the glass.
At such a young age, she didn't know why the glass was so clear before, but now it was getting blurry.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The blurring is not frequent, but happens whenever she gets close to the glass and wants to cover her eyes to look out.
Later she discovered that it was the haha breathed out from her own mouth that blurred the glass.
So at a young age, she learned a trick from her wife. When the glass was blurry and she couldn't see the sound outside, she could see clearly with just a touch of her little hand.
"Baba! Baba!"
When Li Shu wiped her smile on the glass with her little hand again, she saw that familiar figure walking into the yard.
"Baba! Baba!"
Li Shu followed her father's figure with her eyes, from the courtyard door to the house door, and then from the house door to the back room. She stepped on her little feet and kept shouting, she was very happy.
If someone talks to Baba at this time and delays him from coming into the house to pick her up, Li Shu will raise her voice to remind Baba that she is calling him.
"Ouch~"
Li Xuewu opened his hands to catch his daughter who ran over from the kang, and sighed: "Did Madam give us delicious food again? Why did it sink again~"
"Yaya~"
Li Shu understood Ba Ba's question, pointed to the cupboard in the main room with her little hand, and started to tell Ba Ba what she had eaten.
This Yaya is not a little girl that Li Shu ate, but her name for eggs.
When the time comes for a child to learn about the world, she will give her own names to the things she sees and feels, no matter what adults teach her.
"Oh~ I've eaten Yaya~ How many have you eaten?"
Li Xuewu coaxed her, held her in his arms and talked to the old lady and mother, and also greeted the sister-in-law in the south room.
Zhao Yafang was checking the accounts, but she just responded to him, sued several naughty Li Shu, and was still busy with her hands.
"Why did you say that your father and third child are coming back?"
"What Guodong said?"
Li Xuewu looked at his mother who was asking the question and said, "If that's what he said, then it was arranged."
While they were talking here, the eldest brother and Ji Yuxiu also came in through the hanging flower door.
Liu Yin glanced outside and helped the two of them open the door.
"Is this a rush?"
“Meeted at the entrance of the alley”
Ji Yuxiu explained with a smile, reaching out to pinch Li Shu's fat face.
Li Shu was a little afraid of her, and kept holding her little hands to prevent her from pinching them. It seemed like they were pinched too much, and there were shadows on them.
Ji Yuxiu didn't care about this. She liked children, and she even liked a devil like Li Shu. Regardless of Li Shu's objection, she snatched her away from Li Xuewu's arms.
Li Shu babblingly objected, but she was too young, and her objections seemed so weak in the adults' voices.
Perhaps she got the correct information from her second son, and a smile appeared on Liu Yin's face.
I also told them the news that Li Shun and Lao San were coming back.
Li Xuewen was still holding a bag in his hand. While listening to his mother's words, he took out a few pieces of clothes and fabrics.
Liu Yin saw this, slapped him and scolded him: "Didn't I tell you not to take these things home again? What should I do if it affects you?"
"I don't want to take it anymore, but I have to have the final say~"
Li Xuewen's speech was as concise but not simple as ever. As he spoke, he pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "You'd better let Xuewu speak, otherwise these things won't stop in the future."
"What?"
Just as Li Xuewu was about to take a look, Ji Yuxiu stood aside and explained: "The clothes my eldest brother brought back from the work unit."
"They are new clothes."
Liu Yin continued: "They are all produced in the prison. How can we get this for nothing? Isn't it just letting the boss make a mistake?"
"Who gave it to me?"
Li Xuewu looked at his eldest brother. The two brothers were sitting at the Eight Immortals table. He also poured a glass of warm water for his eldest brother.
Li Xuewen was also a little helpless. He held the teacup and said, "I don't know either. It was probably arranged by Warden Huang. I asked about it, but they all said they didn't know. Alas~"
"Haha, I'll just keep it for you."
Li Xuewu watched his mother packing shirts and pants.
It's not anything fashionable, it's special, it's just the clothing products produced in the No. 1 Prison, and some scraps and the like.
But even scraps are very valuable at this time. How can ordinary people have the ability to get these?
The scraps can be re-cut to make clothes, shoe uppers, quilt linings, etc.
Many people have their clothes patched, so Li Xuewen can bring finished clothes home. How scary this is.
Anyway, it was a shock to Liu Yin, who had lived an honest life all her life.
She mentioned it once when Li Xuewen brought it back last time, and she brought it back again this time.
Hearing what her second son said, Liu Yin was dissatisfied and said: "How can you take advantage of the public family~"
"Maybe it's wages, or just wages."
Li Xuewu smiled and said nonchalantly: "Brother doesn't get paid there..."
"That's not true~!"
Liu Yin reminded: "Xuewen is paid, right?"
"Say it's a subsidy"
Li Xuewen put down the water glass, looked at his second brother and said, "The treasurer of the first prison gave it to me as a reward for taking classes, so I don't mind."
As he spoke, he gestured to the clothes my mother had packed and said, "I don't know when they were put in my house. I deliberately didn't take them when I came out, and some people chased them out and stuffed them with me."
"Then take it"
When Li Xuewu saw his sister-in-law coming out, he waved his hand and said, "The more you care, the more nervous you will be, and the more problems you will have."
"You can tell Warden Huang yourself."
Zhao Yafang glanced at Li Xuewen and said: "It's not like I don't have a long mouth. I really want to learn martial arts. His good intentions turned out to be bad things."
"Haha, it won't happen."
Li Xuewu smiled and understood what his sister-in-law meant. He just felt that these small favors were due to his relationship with his elder brother in the prison.
Of course, there is also Huang Qian's intention to take care of him, but if he talks about it openly, everyone's face will not look good.
These things are expensive and rare. If the Li family really needs it, it is not enough. This is friendship.
"If you need it, ask him for it. If you don't need it, just tell him directly."
Li Xuewu stood up and said to his eldest brother: "We are always generous when we get along with them. We take care of each other so that our mother won't worry."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's it, how can such a big person act like a child?"
Zhao Yafang glared at Li Xuewen and said something to him in the name of her mother-in-law.
Li Xuewen didn't dare to talk back, and he didn't care about it, so he just said it.
It doesn't matter if the mother and daughter-in-law say a few words, and it doesn't matter if the brother says a few words.
The second brother didn't talk about himself before, but he really did it.
Liu Yin finally let go of her worries after hearing what the boss said, and now she helped Li Xuewu dress Li Shu, fully equipped to keep warm.
Li Shu didn't like to wear so much, which made it difficult for her to use her hands and feet, especially when she got to the car, which was even more troublesome.
At home, she likes to lie by the window and look out. In the car, she likes to stand on the seat and look out the window with Ba Ba supporting her.
Seeing that she didn't want to wear her coat anymore, Liu Yin threatened: "If you want to catch a cold, be careful and you will end up with a snotty nose~"
As he spoke, he scratched Li Shu's little nose with his fingers and asked her to put on her clothes obediently.
There is a kind of coldness in this world that makes grandma think you are cold.
"Let me tell you, if Xiao Ning wasn't at home, why would I have to eat before leaving?"
Liu Yin picked up Li Shu, who was wrapped with only a small face exposed, and handed it to her second son. She was still nagging: "This one is choking on the wind and air-conditioning. You must drink hot water before eating when you get home."
”.
"I understand, don't worry"
Li Xuewu smiled and responded to his mother's instructions. In fact, he also knew that his mother's nagging was just her longing for his absence.
He is already twenty years old. His mother has taught him these things since he was a child. He is also a life-loving person. How could he not know this?
But even if he knew, his mother's words of farewell were still the love he had to enjoy every day.
"Say goodbye to my wife"
Li Xuewu hugged Li Shu with her little face facing backward and taught her how to say hello.
Li Shu was obedient. She was going to sit on Didi at this time, and she said whatever she said.
But if she really wanted to imitate Ba Ba and speak such a long paragraph, she would feel tired and panic, so she kept it short and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Too!"
"Hey~"
The old lady answered questions and answers. She and Li Shu were both used to grinding their teeth. It would be better if she left quickly and stopped being a grinder.
After saying hello, Li Shu patted Ba Ba on the shoulder with her small hand, indicating that it was OK and set off!
But unexpectedly, Baba taught her again: "Say goodbye to grandma."
"?"
Li Shu twisted her head, which was restricted by too many clothes, and glanced at Ba Ba. Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, she had to shout again: "Na!"
"Hey~"
Liu Yin knew that her son was deliberately teasing her granddaughter, so she couldn't help but smile when she saw Li Shu's unexpected expression.
Before Li Shu reminded her again, Li Xuewu taught her to say goodbye to her uncle, aunt, and third aunt.
…
"Hmm~~~"
Li Shu knew that Ba Ba would not leave until she greeted them one by one, so she let Ba Ba teach her and she also greeted them in her own way.
In the end, maybe I was really tired of shouting, or maybe my heart was tired, so I still imitated the adults and sighed.
This little appearance amused the whole room, and everyone was laughing at her.
She acted like a little adult and knew that she was being laughed at. She kicked her legs hard and made a grunting sound, urging Ba Ba to leave quickly. I was so embarrassed that I almost died~
Liu Yin also smiled and patted her son on the back, telling him to hurry up. Xiao Ning at home was waiting impatiently.
Li Xuewu heard that his daughter refused and was urged by his mother, so he smiled and went out.
As the weather gets colder, there are fewer people walking around in the courtyard. Only those going to the toilet or going out to do errands pass by the door.
Seeing Li Xuewu carrying the child and leaving, everyone in the courtyard smiled and said hello.
"Hey~ Little Meat Ball is back home?"
"Hahaha, don't call us little meatballs!"
Lao Qi is accustomed to giving nicknames to the children in the courtyard. The two children of the Liu family in charge of the backyard are called Yanliluo and Caoshangfei. They are both good at legs and feet.
Bangge, who is in charge of the middle courtyard, is called Luanqiao, because Banggen was willing to climb the wall in the past, and even the ground could not accommodate his kind.
Now seeing that Li Shu was as fat as a meat ball, she gave her another small meat ball.
Li Shu glanced at his smile, pouted her lips, and felt unwilling to do so.
This guy is so annoying!
Lao Qi didn't meet the child's eyes, he just laughed and joked with Li Xuewu.
But even if he sees him, what can he do? There are so many people who hate him!
When it comes to giving nicknames to their children, the parents are willing to do so, but they just don't say it out of mouth for the sake of face.
After leaving the Weeping Flower Gate, Shazhu was standing at the door holding a large spoon and listening to the boys bragging.
Seeing Li Xuewu coming out, he quickly waved to him and asked him to wait.
He gestured here and shouted back to the kitchen.
Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to what he was shouting, but he saw Yuyu walking over carrying a net bag.
"An old businessman from Beixinqiao bought some pigeons, but I don't know which unscrupulous person he got them from."
Silly Zhu stood at the door and explained: "I don't know how it is braised, but it is quite delicious and has a refreshing aroma."
"Give it all to me?"
Li Xuewu saw three lunch boxes stacked in the net bag and asked with a smile.
Yuyu didn't wait for her brother to answer, but said first, "There are plenty of them, so I brought him a basin."
He explained in his mouth, stretched out his hand to tease Li Shu, and walked out the door first, as if he was going to take her to the car.
Silly Zhu glanced at his sister, slightly pulling the corner of his mouth, feeling pain in his back molars.
What the hell is a basin? A laundry basin is also a basin, and a basin the size of a lunch box is also called a basin!
Master Shang brought a rice bowl and asked his sister to take most of it away.
Originally, he had just told Li Xuebei to take a lunch box to try, but in addition to sharing it with the people in the sitting room, he also wanted to eat a few more.
But look, everyone didn’t have enough to eat, and he still ate a lot!
What does it mean to be a female college student? She always wants to turn her elbows outward!
Seeing Si Zhu grinning, Li Xuewu thought it was inconvenient for him to say something.
"Come on, I know about Master Shang."
Li Xuewu nudged Li Shu and stopped her from making trouble. Instead, he said to Si Zhu: "Tell him to just wait and see. Things will be arranged in a month or two."
"Okay~ I have an explanation~"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, Silly Zhu still feels sorry for his pigeon, but he can only say nice things. He can't explain this to Li Xuewu.
Seeing that the father and daughter were about to leave, he waved his hand and said, "I won't send you off. Let's drink together tomorrow night."
"I'll get the wine"
Li Xuewu said a word without looking back, and carried Li Shu out of the door.
Standing in front of the car was He Yuyu, handing the net bag in his hand to Han Jiankun who was getting off the car.
At this time in the evening, I sent Peng Xiaoli home first, and only Han Jiankun was in the car.
Anyway, Han Jiankun had to go home with him for dinner, otherwise how could he let others wait while he gossiped in the room.
"There's still some soup in it, so let's hang it up."
He Yuyu gestured to the trunk of the car and asked Han Jiankun to find a hook or something.
Han Jiankun told her to hand over the net bag to him, and after taking the net bag, he hung it directly on the passenger door frame.
"Is that possible?"
He Yuyu said with some worry: "This must be spread."
"There is no way not to let it go"
Han Jiankun didn't talk much, so he said whatever he wanted: "I'll try to drive as slowly as possible and pay attention to the angle of the turn. It's more difficult to deal with being in the car."
He only said one word to He Yuyu and helped Li Xuewu open the car door.
Li Xuewu also put away Li Shu and said to Yuyu: "It's okay, I just stutter. It's cold at night. Go back to the house quickly."
"Okay, let's go quickly. Let the pigeons go home and warm them up before eating."
She glanced at Li Xuewu without looking much. After saying a few words, she saw Li Xuewu getting in the car and returned to the courtyard.
The sound of cars coming from outside the hospital indicates that the people have left.
The pace of entering the hospital slowly slowed down due to the rain, and I was no longer in a hurry.
The concierge's light was on, which illuminated the doorway as well. Looking through the window, it was the second and third sons of the Yan family who were burning the kang in the house.
When they saw Yuyu coming back, both brothers Yan Jiefang said nothing and didn't even say hello, just like they did to Li Xuewu who just passed by.
It's not that the two of them are stubborn, but that they have prejudices against Li Xuewu and the people who stand with Li Xuewu.
The weather is cold, and although the kang in the concierge is small, it still has to be heated early.
When you come back after eating from home, you still have to be cold.
Besides, if it really burns out at that time, it will be so smoky that it won’t be fun for everyone to play cards.
Continuing the excitement in the summer, the habit of playing cards in the concierge still exists.
A group of people left, and a new group came in. There was nothing I could do about it. The boys in the courtyard were like wheat. Every time they were cut, another crop would grow.
Liu Guangfu in the backyard went to work gloriously, Liu Guangtian went to support Steel City, and the two most powerful card players were gone, and the second and fourth sons of the Sun family in the next courtyard came in to take their place.
Sometimes the married couple Lao Qi and others would come here to watch the game before going to bed.
It's lively, and the fun isn't too big. The first man and Ji Yuxiu were frightened last time, so they knew it was right.
The Yan family is special. The second eldest son of the Yan family, Yan Jiefang, does not play cards, but the third eldest son, Yan Jie Kuang, is a master at playing cards.
He is not that big, but he is very clever. He followed him around for a few months in vain, and he actually saved a lot of bloody money in his hands.
As the old saying goes, goods come in at the same time and come out at the same time. His money didn't come from a good way, and it can't be taken away in a good way.
He is young and doesn't dare to spend his money randomly. He just likes to pretend to be an adult. He smokes when the adults smoke and plays cards when the adults play cards. He mainly focuses on self-improvement.
Yan Jiefang doesn't care about his younger brother. Each family has its own plans.
There are fewer boys in the courtyard, so those on duty at night will have to take turns faster, especially the boys who sit in the opposite rooms.
As long as he was on duty, he would bring the tools for pasting matchboxes. Even if the people on the small fire bed were shouting and playing cards, it would not affect his money.
Yan Jiefang was feeling angry. It was winter and his legs hurt.
The eldest brother passed away a few days ago, and his father was making arrangements for him to take over. He was worried that he would not take advantage of his sister-in-law.
In the end, he did what he wanted, and his sister-in-law really took over.
The succession was quite tortuous. My father fell ill, my mother hated my sister-in-law, and the food was terrible.
what to do?
He has blown away his reputation and wants to enter the factory based on his own ability.
What's the result?
He had a degree, but during the interview his legs fell apart and he was really taken away.
Who would have thought that with such a low recruitment quota, there would even be interviews.
Later he also heard that there were not only interviews, but also training and assessments.
Those who fail the assessment will still be demoted.
Every time his leg hurt, he remembered his father's expression when he bent his leg.
So even if it was to paste matchboxes, he still had to make money.
What money?
Money to support yourself and your children.
How much money can he use a month to eat and live at home?
But how much money can you make in a month just by gluing matchboxes?
Yan Jiefang held the matchbox in his hand, turned it over, and read the words on it.
After the launch of the Great Learning Campaign, there were no more trademarks or patterns on the matchbox, only quotations.
This paper outer box is easy to glue. He picked up a pile of about ten pieces, twisted them and applied glue together. Then he folded them one by one and glued them firmly, following the traces of the creasing lines.
He practiced his skills very quickly. After folding the carton, he clamped it with iron clips for a while, and then it was done after the glue dried.
The most tedious part is actually gluing the inner box, which requires arranging several stacks of paper. People with a large family have to divide the work and cooperate.
One person applied the paste, flicked the narrow wooden strips into the appropriate position one by one, and then removed the wooden strips stained with paper.
One person picked up the wooden stick with the note on it and used the thumb of his right hand against the wooden stick to rub the protruding narrow edge of the paper note.
Then align the wooden strips and circle them into a box shape, and use the adhesive force of the paper strips with paste to glue the inner box into shape.
Another person took the circle-formed inner box and put it on the wax mold. He took a very thin piece of wood and placed it in the wax mold.
Then, with the index fingers of both hands, press the left and right paper edges of the box circle with glue inward relative to each other to stick the wooden bottom firmly.
Then press the edges of the paper at the front and back, and finally press firmly with the palm of your right hand to stick it firmly, and it can be removed.
Yan Jiefang is not good at it. Sometimes his mother will help him with the work for a while, but most of the time he does it alone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, he is young, has a clever mind, and has nimble fingers. He has become proficient in kung fu, and his fingers are flying, and he can glue the paper boxes well and quickly.
How much money can you make making matchbox paste?
Extremely worthless!
It's only 50 cents for a thousand, how much do you think he can earn?
Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court is also doing this, but he only earns five or six yuan a month after working hard.
After all, she has to take care of the family, do housework, make fire, cook, etc.
However, the Jia family has many children, and Qin Huairu sometimes helps out with the work, barely enough to take her own medicine and give the children pocket money.
There are some powerful ones, with a whole family joining the battle, some with eight or nine yuan, and some with fifteen or six yuan.
Yan Jiefang was very ambitious. Last month, the street paid him 12 yuan and 30 cents for the settlement, which really scared a lot of people.
He is one person and can do so much.
People praised him for his physical disability and strong mind, but he was not very happy.
This word was a compliment, but to him it hurt his legs and heart.
The money was all in his own hands, and sometimes it was turned into malted milk, and sometimes it was turned into eggs.
Of course, such things would not enter his own stomach. Yan Fugui knew that these things were all sent to the boss's house.
People in the courtyard gradually began to praise Yan Jiefang, and the only comparison was with the third aunt's harshness and ill-treatment of her daughter-in-law.
It is indeed a bit of a loss to describe Yan Jiefang as being disabled and strong, but some people say this: The Yan family finally met someone.
People say that Yan Fugui knows the situation of his family, and what outsiders see is not what he knows.
Yan Fugui has already told his son that Yan Jiefang should give up his intention. As long as he is still alive, he will not agree to this matter.
Yan Jiefang didn't speak or quarrel. He just did what he should do. He seemed to just want to live like this.
Didn't hear?
Maybe I'm pretending not to understand.
"Yan Jiefang, do you want some eggs?"
The two brothers were silent in the concierge when they were suddenly interrupted by this voice. Yan Jiekuang almost sat on the ground in shock.
"What the hell..."
Before he finished his curse, he heard his second brother knocking on the small table with a paper knife, and his words were instantly speechless.
Yan Jiekuang was actually afraid of his second brother, especially since his second brother started to talk less at some point, and he even didn't say a word to him for a whole day.
Yan Jiefang cherished his words like gold and shook his head towards the stick outside the window, gesturing for him to come in and talk.
Bangge is quite courageous. The last time he did business with Yan Jiefang, he almost blew up Tuanjie Lake in the steel rolling mill. Now he still dares to provoke him.
"How many are there?"
"seven"
Banggeng glanced at Yan Jiekuang, who was looking at him with a gloomy look. His fat belly swelled, and he raised his head confidently.
This is a courtyard, a courtyard governed by law. No matter how awesome you are, you have to pretend to be a grandson when you come to this courtyard.
Liu Guangfu in the backyard almost became a street bully.
What now?
Xiao Wangba is no longer there!
Therefore, Yan Jiekuang's gaze attack on him was ineffective. Banggeng relied on his strong background and did not offend him at all.
"It's cold, and chickens don't like to lay eggs. It's hard to save them..."
"I want them all"
Before the stickman finished speaking, Yan Jiefang took out money from his pocket, and there was a pile of cents and cents, proving that his money was indeed hard-earned.
Banggeng watched him count it, then took it and counted it again. After stuffing it into his pocket and patting it, he nodded again and asked, "Should I send it to my aunt's house?"
Yan Jiefang didn't say anything, just nodded and continued to work on his work.
BangGeng was also an old man, and when he saw that the other party didn't want to say anything, he jumped out of the door and trotted home despite Yan Jiekuang's covetousness.
When it comes to collecting money to do things, there is no need to deceive Manager Jia's eggs now. They no longer need to be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative. They are all sent to Ge Shuqin's house.
Yan Jiefang really trusted him, and he didn't care about the number or size of the eggs. He just accepted the eggs and gave him the money.
There is only one requirement, and that is door-to-door delivery.
Now that Ge Shuqin was in confinement, he really couldn't get into the room, so even hot water had to be brought in by Jie Di.
Bangge is such a young person, no one said anything even when he entered the room, and he really became a little courier.
After more than a month, half of the eggs laid by the two hens in the backyard went into Zhao Yafang's mouth, and the other half went into Ge Shuqin's mouth.
Doesn’t Qin Huairu know that her son sells eggs?
How could she not know, but she just pretended not to know and told her mother-in-law to leave it alone.
Jia Zhang also understands that at this time, the only way for the second son of the Yan family to obtain eggs may be through their family.
Ge Shuqin's body and bones, and the child's condition, are really deprived of nutrition, and they don't even have two lives.
A mother-in-law like Jia Zhang, who is such a bastard, looks at the three aunts like vicious dogs, which shows what happened to the Yan family.
Where are the eggs? This is life-saving medicine.
The aunt is kind-hearted and can't stand this. She often goes to the hut to help. Qin Huairu sometimes asks the aunt to help bring things.
In this courtyard, people were sending things overtly or covertly. Even if they didn't want to cause trouble, Liu Yin, who didn't like the Yan family, gave them away quietly.
Everyone tacitly understood that no one would talk about Ge Shuqin's past, let alone the Yan family's affairs.
To really talk about their family's affairs is the greatest condonation of this kind of behavior.
Family scandals should not be publicized. It was a pity that Yan Jiekuang knew that this little thing about their family would stink the streets.
Why did you think he learned such bad habits when he was so young? He just wanted to grow up quickly and leave this home as soon as possible.
Seeing the indifference of his second brother, he kicked the firewood in front of the stove door and said hesitantly: "It's okay~"
Yan Jiefang kept working on his hands and continued as if he didn't hear anything.
Yan Jiekuang's eyes twitched, he glanced out the window, sat on the small fire bed and muttered, "My parents won't let me."
"What do you want to say?"
Yan Jiefang's voice had no emotion. If Yan Jiekuang hadn't mentioned his parents, he might have pretended not to hear.
Yan Jiekuang raised his head and looked at his second brother, and said stubbornly: "I'm not worth it for you. My eldest brother's money is all in my father's house, but I only see him talking, but I don't see him taking any money..."
"Go and do what you have to do~"
Yan Jiefang was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and continued what he was doing, not wanting to waste a minute.

Yan Jiekuang curled his lips and wanted to say something harsher, but the two brothers just found it boring.
"I just want to grow up quickly and leave this yard as soon as possible."
As he said this, he lay down on the kang, looked at the gray shed roof, and said, "I'm tired of it."
The second brother's answer could not be heard, only the sound of folding paper, and he muttered again: "Unlike me, you are an adult. After this winter, take your sister-in-law away, as far away as possible."

For the first time, Yan Jiefang made a mistake with the matchbox in his hand. His hand was too strong and it broke into pieces.
His brother's words were like a sharp sword piercing his heart, causing severe pain.
Xu noticed the second brother's stiff body and knew that he had reacted to his words. Yan Jiekuang continued: "I have three hundred here, and I will give you half. I have to save the rest for myself. I can only support you like this."
Too much".
"Keep it for yourself, I'm not going anywhere."
Yan Jiefang regained his energy, replied, picked up the carton again and folded it.
"You are stubborn"
Yan Jiekuang sat up, looked at his second brother and said, "If it's really good for my sister-in-law, she should move out as soon as possible. She won't be able to do well in front of my mother."
What responded to him was the second brother's silence and his not-so-fast and smooth origami movements.
He couldn't stand his second brother's bad temper anymore, so he stood up and slammed the door and left.
Hearing someone outside the window say hello to his younger brother about playing cards, his younger brother's reply came into the room, and the movements of Yan Jiefang's hands also slowed down.
Go? Where to go?
If my sister-in-law can take over and join the factory, she can only have work if she stays in the yard.
Besides, with his appearance, there was no doubt whether his sister-in-law would leave with him. What his brother said really made his heart ache.
Asking what love is in the world can teach you how to make love between life and death.
This relationship was too sudden and abnormal. The pressure at home made him breathless. The more compliments he received from outside, the farther away he was from his sister-in-law.
His brother's words made him see more clearly the fact that he was not living up to expectations, and also exposed his embarrassing situation.
The mask he had been wearing for so many days was torn off, revealing his true heart of hatred and pain.

"It's a bit fishy~ What kind of craftsmanship~"
Qin Jingru curled her lips and commented on the braised pigeon in her hand, and then she drank off the pigeon's wings in one gulp.
Han Jiankun raised his head and glanced at her. Seeing that her mouth was full of oil after eating, he couldn't help but twitching at the corners of his eyes.
If it's so unpalatable, it's worth three mouthfuls of a pigeon. If it's delicious, then why not?
"There are so many, Jiankun will eat them too."
Li Xuewu split the pigeon in his hand, picked off the meat and put it in Gu Ning's bowl.
"Tonify the liver, strengthen the kidneys, replenish qi, nourish the blood, clear away heat and detoxify, produce body fluids and quench thirst"
With the book in his mouth, he persuaded Gu Ning with a smile: "I asked specifically, can you eat it?"
Gu Ning frowned, looked at the meat in the bowl, raised his head and asked, "In the wild?"
"What are you thinking about? There are no wild pigeons in these 49 cities."
Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "Maybe some kid has no money in his pocket, and a pigeon shed somewhere in the city was destroyed."
This kind of thing shouldn't be too common, everyone can choose it for you, let alone a pigeon coop.
