From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

In the courtyard of the Jia family, Qin Huairu was eating steamed corn bread while thinking about how to have a good New Year.

She has now been fined three months' salary by the factory, which means that her family will have no income for a long time in the future. This is no joke.

The air was filled with the rich aroma of lard. Qin Huairu and the others swallowed their saliva unconsciously. In the end, Huaihua couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why didn't the factory give you pork? Shouldn't everyone have pork?"

When Qin Huairu heard her daughter Huaihua ask this, her face suddenly turned gloomy: "It's all that guy Liu Feng's fault. If I hadn't heard his conversation in the office, our family wouldn't be so miserable."

Jia Zhang also said: "Huai Ru, you have been really wronged. All the burdens of our family are now on you alone, and I, an old woman, can't help much."

"If it really doesn't work, Huairu, just take out some of your savings. At least you can get through this Spring Festival."

Everyone in the family knew that Qin Huairu saved money and had savings, so it was an open secret.

To be honest, Qin Huairu didn't want to take out this money, but if she didn't take it out now, her family might not be able to survive.

Now everyone knows Qin Huairu's character, and she is also old now, so her previous tricks of crying poor and playing misery are no longer effective.

When Xiaodang, who was drinking porridge, heard Jia Zhang asking Qin Huairu to take out money, he was suddenly startled.

If Qin Huairu knew that I had stolen so much of her pension money, she would beat herself to death. I'm afraid she won't be able to stay here anymore.

Thinking of this, Xiaodang immediately interrupted and said, "Grandma, what a bad idea you are giving. It's not easy for my mother to save some money for her retirement. You should stop thinking about that money."

Xiaodang's words immediately attracted Qin Huairu's attention. She didn't expect Xiaodang to care about her so much.

Qin Huairu: "Xiaodang is right. Don't touch the money unless it is absolutely necessary. I believe the difficulties will always be resolved."

In the backyard of Liu Haizhong's house, Liu Haizhong and his second aunt were both pasting matchboxes with sad faces.

Their family now has only twelve dollars of expenses every month, including Yi Zhonghai's. As for the remaining dozens of dollars, they all have to use it to pay off debts to the neighbors.

It can be said that Liu Haizhong and Second Auntie cannot even have a full meal now, and both of them have pale faces.

Liu Haizhong sighed and said unwillingly: "Lao Yi, back then we were the best eighth- and seventh-grade workers in the factory. All the neighbors in the yard envied us."

"But now we can't even afford to buy meat and New Year's goods. I never dreamed that there would be such a miserable day."

Two hours later, Xu Damao carried Qin Jingru back to the backyard. Ever since he found out that Qin Jingru was pregnant, Xu Damao had been smiling.

"Jingru, I am so happy today. My wish for many years is finally coming true."

"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I think why don't we invite both sets of parents to our home to celebrate the New Year."

"If the old people knew the news, they would definitely be very excited. And the New Year's goods they prepared this year would be much more than in previous years. After all, the family has money now."

Qin Jingru nodded in agreement: "Brother Damao, I will listen to you. Thank you for your help in going to Qinjiazhuang tomorrow."

Xu Damao: "Wife, this is what I should do. You are not allowed to be so polite to me in the future."

After Xu Damao pushed the bicycle into the house, he closed the door. However, what he didn't know was that the conversation between him and Qin Jingru had just been heard by Liu Haizhong and the other two people next door.

In fact, it was because Xu Damao was happy, otherwise he would be very careful when talking in the yard.

After hearing the conversation between Xu Damao and Qin Jingru, Yi Zhonghai's mind became active again and the expression on his face was no longer as gloomy as before.

"Old Liu, did you hear what Xu Damao said? He said he wanted to invite their parents to our compound to celebrate the New Year."

Liu Haizhong replied nonchalantly: "I'm not deaf, but what does this have to do with us?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Old Liu, why are you so stupid? Old Xu and his wife are old acquaintances of ours. When they come, we will also go to Xu Damao's house for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"It's New Year's Day now. Even if Xu Damao is a worthless person, he shouldn't be embarrassed to kick us all out, right?"

"And you didn't hear it just now, Xu Damao has prepared a lot of New Year's goods, and there will definitely be good wine and delicious food."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's analysis, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Old Yi, you are the one who thinks quickly. But isn't it a bit too shameless to do this?" Liu Haizhong said embarrassedly.

Second Aunt: "Old Liu, it's already this time and you're still being so pretentious."

"Ever since the last incident, our family hasn't had meat, let alone fine grains. I really can't stand this kind of life."

Yi Zhonghai also advised: "Old Liu, what can I say about you? Even if you are shameless, it is better than starving, right?"

"Besides, what face do we three managers have now? We should hurry up and think about how we can get this New Year's Eve dinner."

Liu Haizhong thought for a while and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Even if what you said makes sense, Old Yi, there are quite a few conflicts between you and Old Xu. Aren't you really afraid that Xu Damao and his son will kick you out?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Old Liu, I don't have many years left to live in this condition, so even if I get scolded or even if I am shameless, I must get into this New Year's Eve dinner."
