Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1150 Brother-in-law will definitely take care of his sister-in-law, right?

"Hey, isn't that a hot water bottle?"

He Jiawen suddenly saw a figure in the back row, and looked in the direction of her finger. Sure enough, the hot spring woman was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and shivering in the cold wind with a little boy of three or four years old in line. She no longer had the arrogance of using a brick to reserve a seat.

Just then, the store opened.

The team that had been waiting at the door rushed forward. Qin Hao grabbed He Jiawen's hand in the crowd and forced his way in.

"Comrade, give me five catties of pork belly and five catties of spare ribs."

"Okay, that's 5 dollars in total, take it, next one."

In the late 60s, pork was cents a pound if you had a meat ticket, and spare ribs were only cents a pound, but almost no one wanted them. After all, in that era when everyone was short of oil and water, fatty meat was a necessity.

Of course, the ribs were relatively clean, unlike in later generations where there was still so much meat on them.

"Why did you buy so many ribs?" He Jiawen asked puzzledly.

"That's such a waste, isn't it? It would be better to buy some more pork belly."

“There is a way to eat pork belly and there is a way to eat spare ribs.”

Qin Hao whispered, "I'll call you when it's done. Don't let your third child know."

"Okay." When he heard that there was something delicious to eat, He Jiawen's brows relaxed.

As they were talking, He Jiawen had packed the meat he wanted to buy, and the two of them were preparing to go home. However, just as they reached the door, they heard a commotion coming from inside.

"How come there's no meat so soon?"

"That's right. We came here to line up early in the morning. Chinese New Year is coming soon. Can't we stock up a little more?"

Facing the customer's complaints, the salesperson was also very tough.

"That's so easy to say. What do you think that pig is? It grows up just by blowing on it. It takes at least a year for it to grow to market. We got it with great difficulty. Come back tomorrow. Don't just stand there."

Qin Hao suddenly thought of a magical joke: It is strictly forbidden to beat customers. It turns out that the sales clerks in state-owned stores are very stubborn.

Not long after the two of them walked away, the hot spring woman grabbed the little boy and stopped them in front.

Tang Pozi begged, "Can you give me some of the meat you bought? One pound per family is enough. I'll give you meat coupons and money. Two pounds of meat is a dollar and sixty cents. I'll give you two dollars."

He Jiawen frowned, "Old Tang made things so difficult for my dad back then, and now he has the nerve to come and buy meat from us. I won't sell it to you!"

Mrs. Tang pulled Tang Youmin to kneel down in front of the two of them, but Qin Hao quickly pulled He Jiawen and turned away.

"Please be kind, our old soup is almost dying, and he wants to eat some meat before he leaves."

He Jiawen paused when he heard this and was about to turn around, but was stopped by Qin Hao.

"I don't think she's pretending..."

Qin Hao shook his head: "Have you ever thought that if we sell the meat to her at a high price, she will sue us and accuse us of speculation, and it may even implicate our parents."

"No way? We helped her, but she reported us. Is she still a human being?" He Jiawen widened his eyes.

Qin Hao said quietly, "I'm just saying there's a possibility. Maybe it's true as she said, she didn't intend to harm anyone, but we can't gamble our lives on her kindness."

Upon hearing this, He Jiawen looked at the pork in the basket, then looked at Mrs. Tang and Tang Youmin, and finally followed Qin Hao and left.

Looking at the backs of Qin Hao and He Jiawen, Mrs. Tang's eyes gradually became cold, and she whispered to Tang Youmin beside her: "Remember them, they were the ones who ruined your father back then. The reason why our family is in this situation now is all thanks to them. If they fall into your hands in the future, you must remember to avenge your father and our entire family."

"Yes, Mom, I remember it."

……

When He Jiawen returned home, he was surrounded by his two younger sisters as soon as he entered the house.

"Wow, my second sister bought so much meat. We can have a good meal of pork belly during the Chinese New Year this year."

He Jiawen brought the vegetable basket to the kitchen and couldn't help laughing at the two greedy little cats who looked like they wanted to eat the pork belly raw.

"Look how greedy you are. You have to wait for big sister to come back to eat this meat."

He Jiayi was a little reluctant when he heard this: "Ah, that means there will be one more person to share."

"When will the eldest sister come back?" asked the fourth child, He Jiahuan, while standing on tiptoe.

At this time, Grandma He came over and said, "Jia Li is not coming back this year."

"Grandma, what happened to my eldest sister?" He Jiawen asked anxiously.

Grandma He said slowly, "I just received a letter from your eldest sister. She said that the Youth League Office has a rule that she cannot return home this year. She will come back to see us next year after taking a family visit leave."

He Jiawen felt a little disappointed when he heard this. Ever since her eldest sister came here in 62, they have celebrated every Spring Festival together. As a result, there will be one less person at home this Spring Festival.

He Jiayi and He Jiahuan smiled at each other. It was good that their eldest sister didn't come back, as there was one less person to snatch the meat from them.

In the afternoon, He Jiawen was washing clothes for her two younger sisters. Before, when He Jiali was at home, she was the one who did it. Now that the eldest sister is gone, she, the second oldest, has to take over.

"He Jiawen, come here for tutoring."

"Wait a minute, it'll be ready soon."

After He Jiawen hung up the clothes, he took his schoolbag and went next door.

As soon as she sat down and was about to take out her book, a bowl of fragrant corn and pork ribs soup was brought to her.

"Taste how it tastes."

"Is this made from the ribs you bought this morning?"

He Jiawen took a deep breath, his saliva almost unstoppable, and quickly took a sip.

"Be careful of the burn."

Qin Hao laughed when he saw He Jiawen wolfing down the food.

He Jiawen took a big sip of the soup and immediately felt his stomach warm, and the coldness in his body was instantly dispelled.

"How about it, it's okay."

"That's great, but isn't this for Chinese New Year? If you eat it now, your uncle and aunt won't scold you, right?" He Jiawen asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, the meat ticket and money for the ribs were all exchanged for maltose by me."

He Jiawen then started eating again and quickly finished both ribs in the bowl, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

"Slow down, there's still some in the pot, and no one's going to snatch it from you."

"Then I won't be polite."

He Jiawen went to the kitchen and saw that there was indeed a big pot, so he filled another bowl.

I originally planned to finish this bowl and not drink any more, but I ended up drinking four bowls in a row.

"Do you still want it?"

He Jiawen burped and waved his hands repeatedly: "No more drinking. If you drink more, you won't be able to eat in the afternoon. Then the third and fourth brothers will notice it."

Qin Hao was happy. From time to time, he would make some delicious food to satisfy his hunger and he would always call He Jiawen. However, it was not easy to get supplies in that era and he could not take care of the third and fourth brothers. Therefore, every time He Jiawen went home, he had to check everything for fear of being discovered by the third and fourth brothers.

"Then let's start tutoring. Yesterday we talked about..."

At about 4:30, He Jiawen returned home.

"Second sister, you're back."

"Second sister, third sister bullied me again."

"Old Four, you are accusing me of something bad again."

He Jiawen was no longer surprised by the fighting between the two sisters, and was too lazy to pay attention to them. He put down his schoolbag and prepared to make a fire to cook.

As a result, when passing by the third brother, he suddenly exclaimed "Huh".

"Second sister, why do you smell like meat?"

When the fourth brother, He Jiahuan, heard the word "meat", he immediately became excited and went up to He Jiawen to listen to it.

"It smells like meat. Did you eat meat behind our backs, second sister?"

Facing the scrutinizing eyes of his two sisters, He Jiawen calmed himself down and said unhappily, "Where can I get meat to eat? The family next door is making soup, it's normal for meat to stick to me. Everyone is going crazy for meat."

After saying that, He Jiawen ignored them and went straight to the kitchen.

He Jiayi didn't think there was anything wrong, but He Jiahuan frowned.

"What's wrong, Old Four?"

"Third sister, have you noticed that every time the second sister comes back from next door, she has a smell on her body."

He Jiayi tilted his head and recalled: "Is there? What's the smell?"

"Yes, it tastes delicious, and it's different every time."

"You mean that Second Sister ate alone without telling us?"

He Jiahuan said firmly: "Eighty percent of it is."

Then, He Jiahuan leaned close to He Jiayi's ear and whispered, "I can see that the guy next door is interested in my second sister."

He Jiayi's eyes lit up: "You felt it too? I thought it was my illusion."

"I just think that Brother Qin Hao is interested in my second sister."

Seeing that He Jiayi was going off topic, He Jiahuan pulled her aside and said, "This is not the point, okay?"

"What's the point?"

"The point is, Brother Qin Hao is interested in my second sister. If there is anything delicious, he will definitely give it to my second sister. For example, the bone soup cooked next door today, did you smell it? It's exactly the same as the one on my second sister's clothes."

He Jiayi nodded in agreement: "Okay, this He Laoer, we agreed to share happiness and hardships, but in the end she ate alone behind our backs. I'll go find her."

He Jiahuan quickly stopped him: "Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. If you go and confront Second Sister now, Second Sister will definitely not admit it."

"Then what can you do?"

He Jiahuan walked around and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He leaned over and whispered something in He Jiayi's ear.

“Why am I the one climbing?”

"It's too high. I'm afraid I'll fall down."

"You are afraid, and I am afraid too."

"Third sister, do you still want to eat something delicious?"

He Jiayi gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "I'm going all out."

He Jiawen, who was still busy in the kitchen, didn't know that her two sisters had formed an alliance of interests. After get off work in the evening, He Changsheng and Liu Meixin came back and couldn't help sighing after reading He Jiali's letter.

"Changsheng, why don't you go visit Jiali when you go on your business trip to Feixi to collect leather?"

Grandma He reminded.

"Okay, I'll apply to my company to go to Feixi when the new year starts."

"Don't just stand there, let's eat."

The whole family was eating voraciously, but He Jiawen ate very little. This scene was seen by He Jiayi and her sister, which further confirmed their guess.

The next day, after finishing his housework, He Jiawen put on his schoolbag and prepared to go out.

"Second sister, are you going to go to next door to ask Brother Qin Hao for tutoring again?"

"Well, don't make trouble or fight at home, okay?"

"Oh."

As soon as He Jiawen left the house, He Jiahuan urged the third child, He Jiayi: "Hurry up, climb up the tree, stand high and see far, be careful not to be discovered."

"Why are you rushing me? You think it's easy? Come and try climbing one."

He Jiayi said this, but her hands and feet were moving quickly. In order to expose the "true face" of her second sister He Jiawen, and to have delicious food in the future, the great power in her body burst out, allowing her to quickly climb up the tree branch.

We found a perfect location where we could see the yard next door, but we couldn't see it from the kitchen and the main room.

"Third sister, did you see it?"

"Don't make any noise, do you want your second sister to hear it?"

Grandma He didn't take the fact that the third daughter, He Jiayi, climbed the tree seriously, because this third daughter had the most eccentric personality.

"Be careful not to fall."

"Don't worry, grandma. I'm stable."

As a result, He Jiayi stayed on the tree for half an hour, only to find that Qin Hao had been giving a lecture to He Jiawen and had no intention of giving him any special lessons at all.

He Jiahuan, who was sitting under the tree, looked dispirited. At first he asked once a minute, but now he asks maybe not once every ten minutes.

Just when He Jiahuan was about to give up, he suddenly heard He Jiayi's excited voice coming from the tree.

"Good for you, He Lao Er, now I have caught you with my hand."

"Did you see that, Third Sister?"

"I saw it clearly. Come on, Lao Si, follow me to catch... catch him."

He Jiayi originally wanted to say "caught in adultery" but felt that it was inappropriate for the current situation.

The two men came to the next door and knocked on the door aggressively, and He Jiawen was caught red-handed without any preparation.

"Okay, second sister, you really are cooking for me."

He Jiawen dropped the half-eaten pork chop on the ground. "Third and fourth brothers, listen to my excuses...listen to my explanation."

"Hmph, you don't want to listen. We're going to tell our parents that you cheated on us and you even ate meat." He Jiayi seemed to have suffered a great injustice.

"It's spareribs."

"Pork ribs are also meat!" He Jiahuan put his hands on his hips.

"How about I serve you a bowl too?" He Jiawen looked at Qin Hao with a pleading look.

He Jiayi's throat moved and she swallowed hard a few times. Just as she was about to agree, He Jiahuan pulled her back.

"Don't even think about buying us off with these little favors. Let's go back."

Seeing the two turning around and about to leave, He Jiawen quickly stopped them at the door.

"Tell me, how can you avoid going back and telling your parents?"

"Unless you take us with you when you have a special meal in the future."

"That's right. Good sisters share happiness and hardships. How can you cheat on me?"

He Jiawen was at a loss for a moment and could only turn his eyes to Qin Hao.

"Have you forgotten that I'm the one who opened this small kitchen?"

Qin Hao's words instantly brought the arrogance of the two sisters He Jiayi and He Jiahuan to a low point.

"Brother Qin Hao, we are all family, you can't favor one over the other."

"Yes, when you marry my second sister in the future, you will be our brother-in-law. A brother-in-law will definitely take care of his younger sister-in-law, right?"

He Jiayi and He Jiahuan knew that Qin Hao would only respond to soft words and not hard ones, so they started to act like a spoiled child.

He Jiawen blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Well, since you are so considerate, I will give you a share. But let me make it clear in advance that you cannot object to how much I give you, otherwise forget it."

Qin Hao said seriously.

The means of production were in other people's hands. The two sisters He Jiayi and He Jiahuan were also very sensible and nodded repeatedly. After all, having something was better than having nothing.

"Go ahead, the soup is in the pot, help yourself to a bowl."

"Thank you, brother-in-law."
