Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

But on second thought, it seems that it is the original body that should be numb.

Besides, everything was just a joke from Sha Zhu and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Sha Zhu helped park the bicycle in the front yard and returned home happily.

Today, not only did I get news about my relatives, but I also got to indulge in my cycling addiction.

Looking at his sister Yu Shui who was doing homework, Sha Zhu wondered whether he should share the good news with her.

Forget it. It would be nice to give my sister a big surprise when the time comes.

Chen Jianghe moved the bicycle into the house by himself.

He is not afraid of people stealing, but he is afraid of others doing bad things. If that happens, he will be the one in trouble.

As soon as I entered the door, Lou Xiao'e came to greet me, "Brother, it's time to get off work. I'll go serve the meal."

So, it’s different when there’s someone cleaning up at home and when there’s no one.

Looking at the clean room everywhere, Chen Jianghe once again felt that he had made the right choice.

The idea that men are supreme is still prevalent today.

Lou Xiao'e is no exception. Her mother listens to her father, and she listens to Chen Jianghe. No matter how she thinks, there is nothing wrong with it.

"I'll write a letter of introduction today and reserve a table on the way. We'll go directly to Fengze Garden when the time comes."

Chen Jianghe gave instructions to his wife and the table was already set with dishes and chopsticks.

"Ah, so soon. I'll go back tomorrow and talk to my parents."

Lou Xiao'e wrung out the handkerchief and wiped the man's face clean.

The more she looked at her man, the more handsome he looked. She found herself deeply fascinated by him.

He is handsome, reliable, and can earn money to support his family. It is really hard to find such a person even with a lantern.

Chen Jianghe closed his eyes and waited for someone to wipe his face. He took the opportunity to moisten his mouth and then washed his hands with hot water.

Serve the meal.

On the table was a plate of stewed meat with cabbage, a plate of shredded potatoes, four pieces of white flour and a steamed bun.

It’s already very good for two people to eat, this is the life we ​​should live.

Chen Jianghe specifically requested the steamed bread for a change of taste.

Can you believe that decades later, steamed bread, a coarse grain, is more expensive than white flour?

However, you may not eat it even after making it, and you will only eat one or two bites.

Those who still had flour and meat to eat at this time were definitely upper-class residents in the compound.

Most families eat a combination of coarse grains and fine grains, and some simply eat steamed cornbread made from cornmeal.

There are many people in my family, so we have to plan our meals, otherwise we will go hungry.

There is a fixed amount of 20 kilograms of white flour in the flour bag in Chen Jianghe's kitchen, and half a jar of rice and half a jar of millet in the two rice jars.

There is also cornmeal, which is mainly sold for show to others.

He worked in a steel rolling mill and his monthly ration was 36 kilograms of food coupons, and Lou Xiao'e's family also gave her a lot of money.

Even without space supplies, it is enough for the two of them to have food and drink.

But as a grown man, Chen Jianghe still needs to maintain his dignity.

He is a gigolo to outsiders, but internally he is the pillar of the family.

He must make women worship him, only then will they follow him wholeheartedly.

He insisted that Lou Xiao'e spend the money he gave her first, and if it was not enough, she could use the money from her private treasury.

As a result, Lou Xiao'e found that there was more food at home than she could eat and there was no need for her to buy more.

She rarely goes out, so she doesn't even have the chance to spend money...

The only time they needed money was when others in the courtyard borrowed money, but Chen Jianghe said that their family was poor and they didn't get a penny from others.

"Everyone in this yard is a vampire. We must not let anyone get a taste of their power, or else there will be endless troubles."

These were the exact words that Chen Jianghe had said to her, which immediately dispelled Lou Xiao'e's idea of ​​being a good person, whether actively or passively.

Her father chose to be a good man and donated most of his family property, but now he lives in fear and is summoned for questioning as frequently as he eats.

What Chen Jianghe is doing now is, to a certain extent, contrary to the education she received.

But since she has chosen this person, Lou Xiao'e is willing to trust her man unconditionally.

Almost every week Chen Jianghe would bring back new rice and flour to replenish the family's supplies, and sometimes even bring back cooked food.

Lou Xiao'e has never suffered much in life, so of course she doesn't know what the dinner table is like in other people's homes.

When chatting in the yard, the aunties usually only talk about eating some white flour. No one would reveal their family secrets in public, as it would be shameful.

"By the way, I'm going out tomorrow morning, so I may not be able to come back that day. If you're bored at home, you can go back to your parents' place."

Huating County is more than 300 kilometers away from Sijiu City. If you leave in the morning, you will arrive in the afternoon, so Chen Jianghe will not be back until the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Originally, the woman was supposed to go back to her parents' home after the marriage, but because they had to go to Huating, they postponed the time of their return trip.

This is only because the Lou family's parents are open-minded. In a family with a lot of things to do, the eldest child would definitely be unhappy.

"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you and pick me up when you come back."

Lou Xiao'e hadn't seen her parents for several days. She was a little uncomfortable at first, but now she had the opportunity to go back and stay for two days.

After dinner, Chen Jianghe took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "Xiao'e, I'm going to take a walk. When you're done, don't forget to boil some hot water. We'll take a bath tonight."

Chen Jianghe hummed a little tune as he walked to the central courtyard. He hadn't been out for a walk for several days, so he wanted to see if there was any new gossip.

"Okay bro."

Lou Xiao'e agreed shyly. She had no peers with whom she could talk about private matters, and she thought it was the same in other families.

A bucket of hot water for three days.

After everyone left, Lou Xiao'e soaked a piece of steamed bread with the remaining soup in the plate and ate it. She also ate some coarse grains to change the taste.

"Hey, Lou Xiao'e, why are you eating the leftover soup?"

The third aunt finished cleaning the house and went out to chat. When she passed by the door, she happened to see this scene. Suddenly, she felt that her life was actually still okay.

"It's Auntie San. It's okay. There's some vegetable soup left. It would be a waste if I don't eat it."

Lou Xiao'e forced herself to swallow the steamed bread, which did cause her throat to sore, but she still had a smile on her face.

My husband said that eating some whole grains occasionally can help you recall the past and appreciate the present, and improve your happiness index.

"No, you can't let Chen Jianghe mistreat you! Besides, your family shouldn't be short of money, so how come you're worse off after getting married than before?"

The third aunt walked into the house and looked at the bottom of the plate and shook her head.

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to discuss this issue, so she asked, "Third Aunt, what are you doing here?"

"Look at me, I almost forgot the main thing."

The third aunt explained: "This is what happened..."

Third Aunt Yang Ruihua witnessed Lou Xiao'e's living conditions with her own eyes and really didn't hold out much hope.

……

Chen Jianghe had just stepped over the threshold of the middle courtyard when he was almost knocked down by someone from behind.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I ran too fast."

The person who spoke was a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old, about the same height as He Yushui, and also had two pigtails.

"Little Fengling, it's okay. Run slower next time and don't bump into anything."

Chen Jianghe immediately patted the girl on the head and found out that the girl was Xu Damao's sister.

He never appeared in the original drama, seemed to have married early, and his family situation was not very good, so he was just a passerby.

But the little girl now is still quite cute.

After Chen Jianghe finished speaking, he stuffed a candy into the person’s hand. It was the popular Mickey Mouse candy.

The little girl was so happy that her eyebrows curved with laughter, "Thank you, Brother Chen!"

After Xu Fengling finished speaking, she ran to the backyard clutching the candy, obviously slower than before.

She went to the compound next door to play with her classmates in the afternoon and now she is back home for dinner.

Nowadays it’s not customary to stay for dinner when visiting someone.

Unless you bring your own food coupons, the same applies to children, after all, the ration is limited.

Xu Damao was also chatting in the Central Courtyard, and he was shocked to see his sister having a great conversation with Chen Jianghe.

"Feng Ling, go back and eat. There's some left for you at home."

Xu Damao walked towards the backyard while speaking. He had to teach his sister a lesson.

He certainly wouldn't dare to say bad things about others in front of others, and he still needs help from others.

But facing his own sister, Xu Damao felt it necessary to let her know Chen Jianghe's shamelessness.

"This Chen Jianghe is full of tricks, don't let a naive person like you fool you."
