It was quiet at night, except for the chirping of autumn insects at the base of the wall from time to time.
But it will be late autumn soon, and there will be crickets and grasshoppers after autumn.
It's been a few days since I've been around.
Qin Huairu finally coaxed Xiaodang and Huaihua to sleep.
He sighed and got up to go to the public toilet on the street.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I happened to meet Yi Zhonghai who was coming back from the public toilet.
When Jia Zhang was not around, Qin Huairu would definitely want to talk to Yi Zhonghai when she saw him. In fact, she kept looking for opportunities to talk to Yi Zhonghai.
"Uncle Yi, it's almost twelve o'clock, you're still not asleep?"
"Well, it's Huairu, you're not sleeping either?"
Qin Huairu sighed and said, "No, I just put Xiaodang and Sophora japonica to sleep. Banggeng slept with his grandma. I came out to use the toilet."
Yi Zhonghai also sighed: "Don't think too much, just live your life well and don't care about other people's opinions."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yi, I can bear it. I won't have a chance to see you these days. How is your health?"
"I'm fine. I just feel dizzy and have a headache. I'm much better. I don't think I need to take a month off. I can go back to work in half a month."
"Then your hands are shaking so badly, can you still work in the fitter workshop?"
"With Guo's personality, he will definitely not help me apply for technician promotion. Don't worry, no matter what I do, he can't fire me."
"well……"
Qin Huairu sighed again, "Uncle Yi, we were actually a little too anxious at the time. We didn't expect my mother-in-law's reaction to be so big."
Yi Zhonghai looked into the courtyard.
He whispered: "Come on, let's go to the front and talk under the streetlight. There's a guy who lives in the front yard."
Lin Zhen in the front yard was really listening to their conversation with bated breath.
When Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai both stopped at the door, he suddenly woke up.
Hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, I couldn't help but feel funny.
In this battle of wits, you two have been completely defeated. Don't even think about making a comeback. I'm too lazy to check it out. Alas, go to sleep!
Yi Zhonghai took Qin Huairu to the entrance of the alley.
He said helplessly: "Actually, after a few years, the old sister-in-law's longing for Dongxu gradually faded away. Coupled with Zhu Zhu's care for several years, it was logical that she could accept it. Unfortunately, Liu Yuhua came out halfway and gave birth to Zhu Zhu.
You have a son who lives in the backyard and won’t leave, plus Lin Zhen is pressing every step of the way. I had no choice but to ask you to act quickly. I didn’t expect that I was careless and didn’t realize that my old sister-in-law was eavesdropping behind me!”
Qin Huairu said: "Oh, it's too late to say anything. Now when I talk to you and Shazhu, I have to avoid my mother-in-law and Banggen. This can no longer be explained by misunderstanding."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and said: "I have no shame to speak in the courtyard now, and few people will listen to me in the future. I probably won't be able to get up for the rest of my life, and no one will know about helping you. Take these five dollars."
, buy some fine grains, don’t keep your mouth shut, I can’t get involved in the matter between you and Zhuzi, you can figure it out yourself.”
Qin Huairu took the money and said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle. No matter what, you are my uncle. Please wait for a while to deal with Silly Zhu. I don't think he will go to the backyard to admit his mistake to Liu Yuhua in a short time."
Even if he admits his mistake, Liu Yuhua may not be able to like him."
Yi Zhonghai shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I was pushed too hard by Lin Zhen and was too anxious. Now I have reacted, but it's too late to say anything. As long as I prevent Zhu Zhu from remarrying Liu Yuhua and prevent him from getting married again, it will take a long time.
No, he is still the one who stands up for you."
"Well, I understand, Mr. Yi, please go back to bed quickly. It's too late. Let's talk about it when we have a chance."
After Yi Zhonghai left, Qin Huairu went to the public toilet with five yuan in her pocket.
I kept thinking about what Yi Zhonghai said.
Indeed, she and Yi Zhonghai have a win-win interest in cooperation.
Yi Zhonghai did not believe that the shrewd and intelligent You Fengxia would be willing to provide for him in his old age just because she had a registered permanent residence in the capital.
Silly Zhu is a self-sacrificing and helpful person, and is a ready-made candidate to provide for him in old age.
She lost her husband, had three children and a strong mother-in-law.
As the children grow up and the mother-in-law grows old and frail, life will become more and more difficult in the future.
If there is no man in the family, it will be difficult for a widow to maintain it.
As for remarrying with your mother-in-law and children, not to mention the working class in the capital, even people in the countryside will not accept it.
If you hire a husband who cuts in the door, your mother-in-law will be the first to disagree.
Moreover, people in the city would not take a fancy to him. No one was willing to step in and become the stepfather of his three children and the son of the Jia and Zhang family.
If there is, it is just a stupid pillar.
Therefore, for him and Uncle Yi, Silly Zhu is a good person who cannot be let go.
What is good is not good character and good family conditions, but the best candidate.
Qin Huairu made up her mind and would rather let Sha Zhu be a bachelor for the rest of her life. She would rather have no chance to marry him than push Sha Zhu away.
Even as a neighbor, Silly Zhu can take care of himself.
Now it’s time to do the ideological work for my mother-in-law and Banggeng.
After returning to the house, her mother-in-law was sleeping soundly, and Qin Jingru was also sleeping soundly.
No one worries about the future of the family.
Qin Huairu instantly felt a little unworthy.
I have made all my plans, just because this is the home where Jingru comes to stay.
But how can my mother-in-law eat well and sleep well?
Today, Lin Zhen's son had her arms and chin removed, and she was crying, shouting, and fighting for her life.
As soon as she worries about herself, she just ignores her and goes to bed after eating?
No wonder he ate more fat than Liu Haizhong and became the fattest person in the hospital besides Liu Yuhua.
In the past two years since her husband passed away, I have been frugal, miserable and tired, and have lost less than a hundred pounds.
It’s really not worth thinking about!
The image of poverty that he had worked so hard to maintain was exposed by Liu Yuhua's bill.
The chaste image of a good widowed wife was completely ruined by Liu Yuhua's five cousins.
The image of a good mother educating her children was also regarded as a negative teaching material in the courtyard because of her continuous mistakes.
The only good image I can maintain is filial piety.
I haven't fallen out with my mother-in-law yet. If I fall out again, I will lose all popularity.
Qin Huairu is a smart person who knows what to do and what not to do.
The image of a good wife and mother can be restored slowly. As long as she restrains herself and maintains relationships with the men around her, people will slowly forget the words Liu Yuhua's cousin scolded her.
As Bangge grows older, he should be sensible, and the matter of educating children will also gradually get better.
The only image that cannot be restored is poverty. Everyone in the courtyard knows what your family's income is, and how much money you have saved.
If you continue to force yourself to pretend to be poor, you will arouse the resentment of the people in the hospital.
After thinking about it, I decided to live my life as I wish.
Don't leave out refined grains and eat whole grains.
There is no need to resell meat tickets and save money. You have to think about your own body.
Rather than inflict the pain on yourself, why bother?
Why can't you be like your mother-in-law, eating well and sleeping well?
If nothing else, I am richer than Uncle San's family.
Now neither Shazhu nor Uncle Yi can help him openly.
There is no need to deliberately live a hard life and wait for their fine food. You have to eat well tomorrow!
If neither my mother-in-law nor my sister really cares about me, then I will love myself.
Without good health, how can you feed a large family?
Early the next morning.
Qin Huairu gave Jia Zhang a dollar.
"Mom, go buy a chicken and have it killed. Then buy some tofu and gluten. You can start stewing it at four o'clock in the afternoon. Don't delay Banggeng after school."
Jia Zhang was surprised and asked: "Huai Ru, our family just ate shredded pork noodles last night, and today we have improved our lives. If the neighbors see it, they can't comment on it?"
Qin Huairu smiled and said: "Why are you afraid of that? Everyone in the courtyard knows how much salary I will pay and how many food stamps I will share. Now that the first uncle and Silly Zhu are so troubled by you that they dare not help us, we can't let go of fine grains.
Just eat whole grains?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang felt a little embarrassed, and her anger subsided a little.
I realized that I was too cruel at that time, and now I am leaving a destitute and a bachelor with nothing to eat or do.
If you really hate them, you should eat what they have and spend what they have.
The current situation is so tense that it is no different from a broken circuit.
Without the support of Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai, no matter how reluctant I was, I would have no choice but to eat whole grains and pickles.
"Well, then, Huai Ru, you have to save some money. You have to keep the money that Banggan went to school to get a wife, and the dowry money that Xiaohuahua spent on marrying. You can't let the Jia family's children suffer in the future.
I’m wronged!”
Qin Huairu laughed angrily at Mrs. Jia Zhang, "Mom, you asked me to eat refined grains more often in the future, and you said I wouldn't give it to you, so you went to the street office to sue me. How can I save money? What if I save money?"
If you have flowers, who will give them to us? Silly Zhu or Uncle Yi?"
Jia Zhang was speechless immediately, "This, this, I don't care anyway, you can't ignore your three children!"
"Don't worry, I know it well. Don't forget to cook early. Also, the doctor at the rolling mill clinic said that painkillers can be addictive. If you save a dime to buy painkillers, I will
I won’t worry about you anymore!”
"Hmph! If you're on guard against me, don't give me money and buy it yourself. I haven't finished my painkillers yet, so I won't keep your money!"
"Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
…………
After get off work in the afternoon, Lin Zhen gave Liu Yuhua a bottle of secret detoxification and beauty powder, and asked her to drink a small spoonful of it with water before going to bed every night.
Liu Yuhua now believes in Lin Zhen's medical skills too much.
The pimples on my face are gone, and the spots are slowly disappearing. The most important thing is that my sleep quality is very good.
Although he often gets up at night to take care of his son, he is never sleepy during the day.
After Lin Zhen finished explaining, he went back. When he passed by Jia's house, he heard Bang Jie complaining in the house.
"Mom! Why did you eat another bowl? You ate more than grandma. You didn't say you would save some for me to heat up tomorrow..."
Lin Zhen was surprised and couldn't help but slow down for half a minute and listen carefully.
Qin Huairu sneered coldly and said: "Your mother is also from the countryside. When she was a daughter, she worked in the fields to earn work points. She worked very hard. Can you eat less? I have controlled it in the past few years, but now I think about it.
Why bother if you fry yourself? If I don’t eat fat, I will have more strength. Who will do the hard work at home? Your silly uncle and your first grandpa don’t dare to come. Your grandma’s whole body hurts, so why don’t I do it?
What’s wrong if I eat more?”
Qin Jingru echoed: "Yes, I actually have a big appetite, but I just don't dare to eat as much as I want!"
These words made Bang Ge lower his head and Jia Zhang was speechless.
Lin Zhen said that he wanted to laugh a little.
This is kind of interesting!
I want Liu Yuhua to lose weight and become healthier and more beautiful.
Didn't you want to cause Qin Huairu to gain weight?
This is what she didn't know herself to think about.
If she continues to eat like this, she will become the second white and fat Jia Zhang.
