Siheyuan: Wandering between Two Worlds

Chapter 16



The person who blocked the door at the door, you can guess who it is, the watchdog, the third uncle Yan Bugui.

"Third uncle, what's wrong?"

"Yes, third uncle, we didn't bring anything, you asked the wrong person."

Jiang Yang and Xu Damao asked, to see how Yan Bugui could take advantage of them when they were empty-handed.

"Hey, third uncle, didn't you see that you were tired after working all day? Jiang Yang, third uncle will help you push the bike back."

As he said that, he was about to pull the bicycle in Jiang Yang's hand to his side.

Feeling Yan Bugui's strength, Jiang Yang smiled bitterly. This courtyard is full of weirdos. Did he forget that he was so powerful and domineering in the morning and shocked the whole audience?

"Uncle, don't call me when you're at the gate."

"Haha, Jiang Yang, do you think I'm a dog?"

Xu Damao's words were even more murderous. Jiang Yang was still hinting, but this guy pointed it out directly.

Without looking, Yan Bugui's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, trembling all over, and angrily said: "What are you two little bastards talking about? I'm the uncle in the yard. Lao Yi is right. You don't respect the elderly at all."

"Whatever you say, I can push it myself. See if Damao needs help."

Jiang Yang felt bored. If it weren't for some emotional points, he really didn't want to communicate with them more.

These few words were enough to make Yan Bugui upset all night.

Although the system didn't prompt, it was clear that the income was not low.

Seeing this, Xu Damao pushed the cart and followed Jiang Yang without waiting for Yan Bugui to speak.

Passing by the middle courtyard, a pretty wife was bent over by the pool washing clothes. Her graceful figure was really tempting in this era.

Qin Huairu felt the gazes of the two people, looked back, and saw that it was Jiang Yang, and quickly turned back.

She was one of the two people who felt the fear of the knife in the morning most directly. She was afraid.

Jiang Yang was a lonely man. If he really did something, they would have no regrets.

In fact, the clothes in her family had been washed long ago, and she was just waiting for Sha Zhu.

In this situation, the food rations of every household have been reduced, not to mention that only Jia Dongxu in the Jia family has a city hukou.

Life is very difficult, and every day they rely on Sha Zhu to bring back some lunch boxes from the canteen.

Back in the backyard, Jiang Yang parked the car and went home. After closing the door, he lay directly on the bed.

This day, there are only two words: boring.

Although he didn't like to argue with people in the yard and the office in the morning,

"Oh, what should I do for dinner?"

Jiang Yang thought for a long time and decided to eat a piece of bread. He didn't want to cook by himself. If he cooked too much, he couldn't finish it. If he cooked too little, it would be troublesome to wash the dishes.

He was like this in Blue Star. Although he could cook, he helped his family cook and light the fire when he was 12 years old. I dare not say that it is very delicious, but it is better than some fairies on Douyin.

Just when Jiang Yang was eating bread at home, Sha Zhu came back with two lunch boxes, and was stopped by Yan Bugui before he entered.

"Sha Zhu, what good things did you bring today? I can smell the fragrance."

Looking at Yan Bugui's flattering smile, Sha Zhu looked disdainful, "Third Uncle, you can just smell the fragrance. Do you want to eat it? This is the leftovers I brought for the sister-in-law of the Jia family."

"Hey, Sha Zhu, since you can bring it to the Jia family, why can't you bring it to the third uncle's house a few times? I have been an uncle for so many years, and I have never eaten the lunch box you brought back."

Jia family! Jia family again!

The most difficult family in this courtyard is definitely not the Jia family.

Let’s just say that the grandmother Zhao next door has a 6-year-old grandson, and the grandfather Li and 12-year-old granddaughter in the backyard, and the grandmother Guo in the middle courtyard has a pair of 8-year-old grandsons and 10-year-old granddaughters.

These are all families without formal jobs, and they are so hungry that they are skin and bones.

In the past, when things were good, they could barely get enough to eat and wear, but now in this situation, they may starve to death at home at any time.

It would be fine if this silly Zhu didn’t bring a lunch box, but now he only cares about the Jia family. There are six people in his family, and only he works, which is also difficult.

“Huh, Third Uncle, I can give my things to whoever I want, what’s your business?”

Sha Zhu doesn’t care about what Yan Bugui means by words, he just recognizes two points, one is that the eldest uncle asked him to do it.

The other is that every time he gives a lunch box, he can say a few sweet words to Qin Huairu, and even touch her slippery little hands.

He was not happy at first, and the food he brought was really leftovers, but Qin Huairu was good at it.

Three

With a few words and a tearful look, the food he brought immediately changed from leftovers to good food. If the small cooking had not stopped, it might have been half a chicken and a duck.

Ignoring Yan Bugui's eyes, Sha Zhu quickened his pace and quickly entered the middle courtyard. As he expected, at night, there was the graceful figure and the squeezed and deformed grain bag.

He couldn't help but envy Jia Dongxu and Xiao Dang, and secretly said, "I envy them for being able to eat such delicious food."

Sha Zhu's spirit had long floated away. Qin Huairu felt the burning gaze and looked back, and saw that Sha Zhu actually reacted to her back.

Her face was stained with disgust. Sha Zhu looked like a bear, and he dared to YY to her. It was really disgusting.

However, seeing the two lunch boxes he brought back, Qin Huairu gritted her teeth, stepped forward and patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder, shouting: "Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi."

"Ah~~~" Sha Zhu shuddered all over and felt refreshed.

After his eyes regained clarity, Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu with a blushing face. In the previous scene, the two were still in love, but he actually thanked her.

"Qin~~~Sister Qin, this is the lunch box I brought for you. I~~~I'll go back first."

Sha Zhu stuffed the lunch box directly into Qin Huairu's arms. The movement was so big that he even felt a softness, which made him more excited and ran back to his home like the wind.

When he was in the door panel, he instantly shrank back to the bed, recalling the feeling before.

Every move of Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu had long been watched by the sharp eyes of the Jia family.

Seeing Qin Huairu's face blushing as she returned to the house, Jia Zhang stepped forward quickly, snatched the lunch box, and slapped her twice, "Pa Pa!"

"You bastard, did you get together with that pig Sha Zhu? You're still blushing. Did you do something to let our Jia family down?"

"Mom, I didn't. What can we do in the yard?"

Qin Huairu rubbed her cheeks in grievance. This fat woman always found all kinds of reasons to beat her.

And this matter was discussed by them and asked her to ask for the lunch box. Now she blamed herself for this matter. I have never seen such a shameless person.

"Hmph, go home after getting the lunch box in the future, and don't talk too much with Sha Zhu. It's his duty to bring us lunch boxes. If you flirt with him again, I'll beat you to death."

Jia Zhang didn't care about those things. She believed that when a daughter-in-law entered the house, she must be beaten to suppress her so that she would be obedient in the future.

No matter whether you did something wrong or not, who said you can't be beaten if you didn't do anything wrong?

"Woo woo~~~" Qin Huairu covered her face and sobbed, with nowhere to vent the grievance in her heart.

At this time, Jia Dongxu came back and saw this scene. He didn't ask any questions. Seeing the black pot and cold stove at home, he said with a bad face,

"What's the matter? You can't even have a hot meal at home. What do you do for a living?"

Qin Huairu felt even more aggrieved. Damn, he was the one who did the laundry, cooking and feeding the children, and now he was still complaining.

Jia Zhangshi, who weighed nearly 200 pounds, did nothing all day long, and now he still had the face to talk.

Even begging for food was left to her young wife.

Although she complained so much in her heart, she still cheered up, wiped her tears, turned around and went into the kitchen to work.

"Dongxu, Banggeng, come here quickly. This is the lunch box that Shazhu brought back. I've seen it. There is meat. You guys eat the meat quickly."

Jia Zhangshi had been greedy for a long time. If her son hadn't come home yet, she would have started eating long ago. As for Qin Huairu, she was an outsider.

Hearing Jia Zhang's words, Qin Huairu had nowhere to vent her distress and could only swallow it silently.

Jia Dongxu frowned while eating the leftovers brought by Sha Zhu.

He is still a first-level worker, with a salary of only 33 yuan. He could eat well in the past, but now the ration has been reduced, the price of grain has risen sharply, and there is a pig at home, which is not enough to eat.

He couldn't help but complain with emotion,

"The ration has been reduced again recently. If this continues, our family will definitely not have enough food. Let Sha Zhu bring more in the future. This is not enough to eat at all."

"It has been reduced again. What can we do? Sha Zhu brought vegetables. It doesn't matter if we are full. We still have to start with grain."

Jia Zhang had swallowed another big mouthful of cabbage while speaking.

"I will go to the master tonight to think of a solution."

The meal time is the quietest time in the courtyard, of course, except when the Jia family makes trouble.

After dinner, Jia Dongxu knocked on Yi Zhonghai's door.

After a while, the door opened and Jia Dongxu called out, "Master's Wife."

"Dongxu, come in."

Auntie was a soft-tempered person and was quite nice to the people in the courtyard.

She must have known that Yi Zhonghai wanted Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age. In addition, she felt even more guilty for not being able to give him a child, so she took good care of Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, have you eaten? Have a bite at Master's house."

Yi Zhonghai saw the person coming and hurriedly greeted him.

This is his future.

Jia Dongxu looked at the steamed bread and cabbage on the table, which were not as good as what he ate at home.

He quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Master, I have eaten, you and Master's wife can eat."

"What are you doing here? Just tell me, there is no need to be polite between us."

Seeing Jia Dongxu's dodging eyes and shy expression, Yi Zhonghai had already understood and asked directly.

Jia Dongxu could only spit with a bitter face, "Master, now the quota has been reduced again. You know the situation of my family. I really don't know what to do."

"Alas, these days~~~! You can take some corn flour from my house and go home later. I will give you extra lessons later so that you can pass the second-level worker exam as soon as possible."

"Master, it will take another half a year to pass the worker exam. My family can't hold on for more than half a year."

"I know what you mean. I will hold a meeting in the evening to donate money to your family. But now every household is in trouble, and the donations can't be much."

He didn't want to make this donation. As he said, who is not in trouble now? In the end, it is still the rich families who donate.

"Thank you, Master. Don't worry, I will definitely listen to you."

Hearing Jia Dongxu's statement, Yi Zhonghai felt more stable and more determined to donate.
