Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 14 Life is like a play

While Zhang Heping was handling the fish, Yan Jiefang was always nearby.

However, after the boy went to empty the second bucket of fish offal, he also brought over two 8-pound fish that he had left at home, and asked Zhang Heping to help him deal with them.

In return, the boy brought over a large pile of old ginger, saying that his father planted it in the flower garden in front of the door.

Zhang Heping took the job without a second thought, and even helped them remove fish bones and fillet them.

This is how human relations go, only what comes and goes lasts.

Unlike the second uncle Liu Haizhong's house next door, he is probably still waiting for the Zhang family to take the initiative to send fish to his door in exchange for food.

However, the Zhang family's stove is placed under the left window of the Liu family next door. If someone doesn't want to and asks you to dismantle the stove because of oil fumes and water vapor coming into their home, the Zhang family will be in trouble.

Because on the other side of Zhang's door is another family's stove.

In addition, the second aunt's generous words when she was in the Intermediate Court just now helped Zhang Heping.

Rather than letting his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, go to the next door to deliver the fish to express her gratitude, it would be better for Zhang Heping to deliver it himself. Anyway, the other person is young and shameless.

Therefore, after sending Yan Jiefang away, Zhang Heping wisely chose a prepared grass carp and sent it to Liu Haizhong's house next door to thank his second aunt for helping to drive away the thieves.

At the end, under the witness of Grandma Zhang, the second aunt gave back 11 kilograms of stick noodles.

11 pounds of fish meat was exchanged for 11 pounds of stick noodles. It was not a loss, but a profit. Anyway, Zhang Heping was not short of fish, and the Liu family was not short of money or food supplies.

There are still 6 big fish left, and the neighbors in the yard who asked Zhang Heping if he could sell fish have already gone home.

These days, there are only a few houses in the courtyard that really have spare money and can afford to buy fish and meat.

Zhang Heping thought for a while, then carried a 12-pound grass carp and an empty white cloth bag, and went to Xu's house in the west wing of the backyard to exchange eggs with Xu Fugui, but his house didn't have many eggs.

In the end, Zhang Heping exchanged them for 5 eggs, 3 garlic, and a piece of smoked bacon weighing about 3 kilograms.

When bartering, don't look at the weight or the number of varieties, just look at each individual's needs, and exchange them if you think they are suitable.

As soon as Zhang Heping came out of Xu's house, he ran into Auntie and Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu gave Zhang Heping two boxing villain books, then took out 3 cents and 5 cents, and asked with some reluctance and suspicion: "Heping, did you really hide money in the villain books?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping took the little book and the money, then pretended to count the money seriously, and said casually: "I saved the money one by one."

Acting: Beginner (29%).

"Aunt Qin, there are still two boiled eggs left!" Zhang Heping said, but he looked at the aunt who had praised Haikou before and asked Qin Huairu to return it.

Speaking of eggs, Qin Huairu asked with a strange look: "Heping, Dad eats steamed eggs every day. Where do you get so many eggs at home? Tell your aunt and she will buy them and return them to you."

The eldest mother opened her mouth to speak, but Zhang Heping said without thinking, "I didn't buy it. Those steamed eggs are nutritional eggs issued by the hospital, and your family also issued them! The boiled eggs were given to me by the third uncle in the morning."

After saying that, the big one and the little one just looked at each other.

A few seconds later, Zhang Heping felt that he should do something. He recalled the acting experience in his mind, and thought of the tragedy of being slapped by a stupid mother-in-law in his previous life and being reborn. He suddenly felt sad and burst into tears.

Acting: Beginner (31%).

"Our family didn't want to eat the two boiled eggs that the third uncle gave me. We kept them for my dad to supplement his nutrition. My dad can't wake up. Wuwu..."

Acting: Beginner (35%).

Acting: Beginner (36%).

Qin Huairu has two children. She is used to hearing the children cry and has no sympathy in her heart.

But the eldest mother was different. She had always wanted a child, so she couldn't bear to hear Zhang Heping's cries and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

Grandma Xie Ermei heard the crying, looked up and looked outside the door, and found that it was her sweet grandson who was crying, and her anger was suddenly ignited.

Other people in the backyard heard the sound and stood at the door to watch.

"Sanwazi!" Grandma shouted and strode towards Zhang Heping.

"Uh... I'm crying loudly!" Zhang Heping's performance was overdone. He should have imitated the white lotus in the book, which only wipes away tears without making a sound.

"Grandma, wuwu..." Zhang Heping took advantage of the situation and walked home.

As for eggs, do they matter?

……

After Auntie and Qin Huairu left, Xu Damao closed the door and muttered: "Why do I think Zhang Xiaosan is pretending to cry?"

Compared with Zhang Heping's young adult appearance when he was exchanging things with his father Xu Fugui at his house just now, Xu Damao always felt something was wrong.

"You can see this, it means you are not stupid enough!" Old God Xu Fugui looked out the window, and after a while he said: "You recently went to the countryside to play a movie, try to find a way to get an old hen back, and then send it to To the third uncle."

"Old hen, give it to him?" Xu Damao looked at his father, wondering why he was so crazy.

Xu Fugui frowned and glanced at Xu Damao, but did not explain.

……

After a while, Bangge’s cries rang out from the middle courtyard.

Then, the aunt held an egg in each hand and brought it to Zhang Heping.

The eldest mother glanced at the situation inside the Zhang family's house, then sighed and left.

Grandma Xie Ermei saw her grandson smiling happily and putting two eggs into a big enamel cup. She couldn't help but smile too and secretly praised her grandson for his cleverness.

7 eggs, 5 fish, and 1 bacon. If you keep these on New Year's Eve, you won't have to go hungry.

However, 4 of the fish have to be prepared as gifts, and only 1 fish is left for the family, which will be arranged at noon today.

With ginger and garlic, Zhang Heping has a lot more room for cooking.

When Ma Xiuzhen and her second sister Zhang Pandi returned home with happy faces, Zhang Heping had already cooked fish head soup and two large basins of steamed fish fillets.

It’s just a lot of soy sauce!

Cooking skills: Xiao Cheng (27%).

At the dinner table, Ma Xiuzhen told the good news that the old company commander agreed to help and said he would reply as soon as possible.

Then, grandma told Yan Bugui about helping to rent a house and what Sanwazi had done in the yard just now, which made Ma Xiuzhen frown a little.

In Ma Xiuzhen's opinion, the house really needs to be upgraded to a bigger one. After all, there are so many men, women, and children in the house, and it is inappropriate to crowd them together. But she hasn't thought of going there recently.

However, asking her to accept the third uncle's love made her think of her son's little figure squatting on the ice fishing, in such a cold weather...

As for the Jia family, it would be good to get two eggs back.

Zhang Heping blamed his grandma for talking too much and kept catching fish for her, so happy that she had no time to talk.

After lunch, Ma Xiuzhen sent the meal to the hospital, and when she came back, she took Zhang Heping outside the alley to get a haircut and take a shower.

While getting a haircut, Zhang Heping heard something he had never experienced before: there were lice on his head!

When he thought of his grandmother and two sisters who had fled the country, he decisively accepted the idea of ​​shaving his hair to a millimeter-thin size.

Ma Xiuzhen was afraid that her son would catch a cold, so she went home and took the green military hat her husband used to wear and put it on Zhang Heping, which made Zhang Heping look depressed.

His father used to have a dog-skin hat that he wore while on duty at night. It was taken away as evidence after the accident. It hasn't been returned yet, and he doesn't know if the murderer of that night has been caught.

After taking a shower, Zhang Heping only changed into a set of underwear, and then put on the previous set...a patchwork sweater and woolen pants of various colors, as well as a blue cotton coat and cotton pants with many patches.

He didn't even have a change of coat, and one set of cotton-padded clothes would last all winter.

In his previous life, although he was not rich, he was someone who would throw away his clothes and shoes if they had a small hole in them. When had he ever been so embarrassed?

When I think about my family in this life, I feel a little more melancholy.

"Everything will be fine!" Zhang Heping encouraged himself; because he had past life memories, he seemed extremely confident.

Go home and guard the house, hang up the phone with "Huangdi Neijing", and wait for mother and others to take a bath.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Dacheng (25%).

……

Hospital, Ward 308, 1 bed.

When Ma Xiuzhen and Zhang Zhaodi were feeding Zhang Bing dinner, they heated up two pots of fish head soup and it became more fragrant.

The eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi kept stirring and blowing on the tepid soup, which made everyone in the Jia family look over and swallow their saliva.

Mother Ma Xiuzhen glared at her eldest daughter, "Hurry up!"

For some unknown reason, Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly opened the window of the ward completely on this cold night, and the cold air entered the room.

Zhang Heping took the military coat that his mother wore during vigil and put it on his father Zhang Bing first.

Then he poured some boiling water into the washbasin and soaked the two lunch boxes in the lunch boxes to keep them warm.

Finally, he looked at everyone in the Jia family with disdain.

That's it?

"Qin Huairu, do you really want to kill me in cold weather so you can remarry?"

Jia Dongxu, who looked lifeless two days ago, was extremely angry today. He picked up a pillow and threw it at Qin Huairu, a pregnant woman.

"Mom opened the window, not me..."

Qin Huairu felt very wronged. The man was so useless, and she was pregnant for nine months. She had to go back to cook during the day and keep vigil at night.

"Don't you know how to close the window she opened?"

Jia Dongxu was unreasonable, raised half of his body to look for something, and wanted to hit someone.

"I..." Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang by the window, and saw that the other person turned his head to one side, as if nothing was wrong, and did not close the window.

when!

An enamel cup fell to the ground. Qin Huairu covered her nose that was hit, and tears flowed down.

"Ugh..." Qin Huairu felt sad, turned around and ran out of the ward.

Ma Xiuzhen couldn't stand it anymore, so she tried to persuade her, but was scolded by Jia Zhang.

Then, Zhang Heping said, "Mom, do you know what self-inflicted evil is?"

Facing the puzzled looks of Ma Xiuzhen and Zhang Zhaodi, Zhang Heping gloated and said with a smile:

"Someone's going to keep a vigil!"
