Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that others would know that his things were stolen by Bang Geng, but he could control an old lady's mouth but not other people's eyes.

Xu Damao had sharp ears. When he heard something strange happening outside, he ran to the door and witnessed everything with his own eyes.

He turned around and vividly recorded and broadcasted everything that had just happened to everyone: "You really didn't see how black the old man's face was just now. It was blacker than the bottom of a pot, just like donkey dung."

"You don't know, when the old man saw Bang Geng running out of his house, his face changed immediately. Especially when he saw the meat falling out, I think he must have wanted to kick Bang Geng away at that moment."

He Yushui's eyes widened: "Bang Geng even stole things from his house? He deserves it! Who made him protect them all day long? Now they're stealing from him? He should be the one to steal everything!"

"That's right. Doesn't he always say that Banggeng is still a child and stealing things is no big deal? I think stealing things from other people's homes is no big deal. Let's steal from his home and see if he gets anxious!" Yang Xiaojuan also said.

"You know what, this old guy is really something. He was about to explode with anger, but he didn't go to ask for the meat back. He even called the old lady back." Xu Damao said.

"He's just afraid of getting slapped in the face. If everyone in the yard knew that Banggeng stole his things, he would lose face."

"This old guy is a complete hypocrite. He deserves to be punished!"

Several people were talking excitedly, and Shazhu sighed and shook his head: "Chongzi, should we cook the vegetables first or make the dumplings first?"

"Of course we'll cook the dishes first. We can eat the dishes and make dumplings at the same time." Yang Chong said with a bit of regret. It was a pity that the system did not reward a TV.

Otherwise, how pleasant it would be for everyone to sit around the fireplace, eating New Year's Eve dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

But it seems that there was no Spring Festival Gala in that era, and there didn’t seem to be any TV stations either.

"Okay, I think the dumplings are almost done, so I'll start cooking." Sha Zhu responded and put the pot on the stove, ready to start cooking.

At the Jia family, who was separated by a wall, when Jia Zhang saw Banggeng coming back with the pork, she jumped off the edge of the bed with joy.

"My Bang Geng is really capable! He is worthy of being the pillar of our Jia family. He brought back the meat in just a short while! Be good, take the meat to your mother and ask her to cook a meat dish for us."

Bang Geng ran up to Qin Huairu, held the pork in his hand in front of her, and said proudly: "Mom, hurry up and fry some meat for me, so we can have meat to eat!"

The thing Qin Huairu was most worried about finally happened. Bang Geng was really instigated by Jia Zhang to steal again.

"Mom, why did you let Banggeng steal things again? Have you forgotten what happened last time? If he is caught again, our family doesn't have thirty dollars to compensate him." Qin Huairu complained to Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhang said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? Our Banggeng is so smart, how could he fall into the same trap twice? Besides, the one I asked him to steal today was Yi Zhonghai, so even if he found out, he wouldn't dare to say anything."

Qin Huairu said: "Even if the uncle doesn't say anything, what if Bang Geng gets addicted to stealing and can't change this habit in the future?"

Jia Zhang said: "If you can't change, then just keep stealing! Who made you incompetent and unable to earn money, so that Banggeng can't eat meat? If you were capable and coaxed Shazhu's money, would my Banggeng have to steal?"

Qin Huairu's face turned pale. "How come it's all my fault? I have to take care of the family's food, drink, defecation and urination by myself. I have to cook, wash dishes and clothes, and work for others to earn money."

Jia Zhang said, "Do you want me, an old man, to do it, or do you want Bang Geng to do it?"

Qin Huairu said: "I'm not asking you to do it. I mean I've done so much, from morning till night, my waist is broken. Why do you blame me for everything? Don't forget, I'm pregnant."

"You have to think of a way when you are pregnant. Otherwise, you will not be able to work for half a year after the child is born. What will the child eat? What will our whole family eat?" Jia Zhang said earnestly, "Huai Ru, you don't need to be so tired. There are better ways to live."

Qin Huairu looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what she meant by a better way to live.

Jia Zhang said carefully, "Look, you're working on the street with a big belly, pasting paper boxes all day, but you only earn a few cents, and you can't even take care of your family's food. But if you open your mouth and coax that silly boy Sha Zhu, you can have all the delicious food, and he will even have to bring you the food for two people. Tell me, which way of life is better?"

Qin Huairu blushed: "Mom, how can you be like this, teaching your daughter-in-law to coax other men, now you don't say I'm seducing wild men?"

Jia Zhang said: "I said those for outsiders to hear, just listen to it, don't take it seriously. Nowadays, what others say about you is nothing, the most important thing is to have enough food to eat. As long as you can live a good life, what's the harm of letting others say a few words of gossip? Can it make you lose two taels of meat?"

Qin Huairu was silent, and Jia Zhangshi continued, "Think about it, our family now has four people, and in the future it will be five. If we all rely on you as a woman, won't you be exhausted to death? It's better to take advantage of your youth and beauty to coax more men and get more things and money. If in another two years, you are old and ugly, you can't coax men, and you won't be able to work by then. How will you live then?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head and said nothing, her heart was in turmoil.

Jia Zhang took the pork from Bang Geng's hand and stuffed it into her hand: "Take your time to think about these. Let's fry the pork first. Who doesn't eat meat on New Year's Eve?"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, but still started cutting the meat.

Banggeng was bored, so he ran out of the house and came to the gate of the yard.

At this time, the other children in the yard had already gone home to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, and the ground was still littered with debris from exploded firecrackers.

Bang Geng lowered his head and searched on the ground. Now he didn't have to worry about anyone snatching the item from him.

However, the firecrackers on the ground had almost been picked up by other children. Banggeng lowered his head and searched for a long time but couldn't find a single unburned firecracker.

Just when he was about to go home in frustration, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There was a firecracker lying quietly in a crack in a stone on the ground in front.

It is very big, several times bigger than ordinary firecrackers.

The firecracker lay in the narrow crevice between the stones and was very inconspicuous. Perhaps that was why it slipped through the net and was not picked up by other children.

Banggeng suddenly became excited and squatted down to pick up the firecrackers.

But the crack between the stones was too narrow to get his fingers in. Finally, Banggeng found a small wooden stick and used the technique of picking out door bolts with a stick. After a long time, he finally picked it out.

"My grandma taught me a good technique. No one else can pick up this firecracker." Banggeng thought proudly and put the hard-earned firecracker into his pocket.
