Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

After the meeting in the courtyard, Jia Zhang returned home, feeling so angry that she said in a hateful voice, "This old bastard, look how proud he is, he treasures that little bastard. Dongxu is gone, but we still have Banggeng, who can still provide for him in his old age. It's a pity that his family's savings and house should belong to our Banggeng, how much money would that cost? With that little bastard, our Banggeng has nothing. A dead bastard."

She was so busy complaining that she didn't notice that the dog playing at the door had heard what she said.

The next day, when it was almost time for lunch, Yi Boyuan returned home crying, covered in dirt and with a bump on his head, which made the aunt very sad.

"Xiaoyuan, what's wrong? Didn't you go out to play with Xiaodang?"

"Mom, when her brother hit me and pushed me to the ground, my head hurts."

"Hey, why did he hit you?"

"He said I robbed him. Mom, I didn't rob him."

The lady's face looked very unhappy. Of course she knew what Banggeng was talking about when he said "robbery".

"Xiaoyuan, don't cry. Let's not play with him anymore. Wait until your dad gets home from get off work and let him vent your anger on you."

So, the Yi and Jia families had their first quarrel, but of course, it ended up in nothing.

However, since the day she brought Yi Boyuan back to the courtyard, the aunt's mental outlook has undergone a drastic change. She is cheerful every day and feels much more relaxed.

At the end of 1961, Aunt Li from the Dazhalan Neighborhood Committee retired, and Xu Huizhen was elected as the new director of the neighborhood committee as expected.

"Director Li, Auntie, I am the private manager of the pub. If I become the director of the neighborhood committee, then this pub will no longer have a private manager, right?"

"Manager Xu, you are the director of the neighborhood committee. Even if this tavern only has the manager of the public office, it is still under your management. It won't affect you."

Director Li of the street office made the final decision, and from then on the tavern had only one manager, the public one.

"Uncle, don't you like me anymore?"

Since Xu Huizhen became an official, the Qin family naturally had to hold a party to celebrate. Six-year-old Qin Jingli leaned on Qin Zheng, looked at Qin Jingtian in his arms, and asked seriously.

"Li'er, why do you ask that? Of course uncle likes you."

"But, my uncle used to feed me fruit."

"Haha, little girl, you're jealous of Jingping. Come, uncle will feed you an apple too."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of apple with a fork and fed it to Li'er, who puffed out her cheeks and ate happily. He then picked up the apple and fed it to Jingping and Jinglin, acting like an older sister.

Qin Jingtian is already nine months old. Like his older sisters and brothers, he is delicate and pretty. The children of the Qin family are absolutely well-nourished and have never been without meat. Not to mention, in Qin Ming's kitchen, there are more than a dozen dried pheasants and rabbits hanging. If outsiders saw them, they would definitely drool with envy.

Therefore, every time Qin Zheng came, he would bring some homemade pork, fruits and vegetables. The first two things are not easy to buy on the market.

Xu Huizhen walked into the living room carrying the dishes and saw Qin Jingli lying on Qin Zheng's back and Qin Jingping lying on Qin Zheng's legs, so she said, "Li'er, if you do this, your uncle will be tired. You should move a stool and sit next to your uncle like Jingping did."

"No, I'll let my uncle carry me."

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay. You won't be tired. The hair is not heavy."

The family sat down at the table. Before they started eating, Han Qing asked, "Second brother, I heard that Yi Zhonghai adopted a child?"

"Yes, I took a five-year-old boy."

"Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, Yi Zhonghai has no hope for retirement. He has figured it out," said Qin Leshan.

"Yi Zhonghai hadn't made up his mind yet, so he specially invited me to dinner. It was me who suggested to him that he make some contribution to society."

Qin Ming said: "It's good this way, there won't be so many calculations in the courtyard."

Chen Xueru snorted: "If you ask me, we shouldn't pay any attention to this old bastard, he is such a sinister and evil person."

She didn't have any good feelings towards Yi Zhonghai at all.

Xu Huizhen said: "Xueru, my second brother is right. We should let him make some contributions to society."

"Oh, it's true that the butt determines the head. It's different to be the director of the neighborhood committee. Sister Huizhen, your thinking level is higher than that of a businessman like me."

"Hahaha……"

These two people are always joking together, which is really fun.

Han Qing said: "The happiest person about this should be Auntie. When we were chatting before, she once told me that she wanted to adopt a child, but Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady didn't agree, so she couldn't make the decision."

"The most disappointed family is probably the Jia family," Qin Ming said.

"Mrs. Jia Zhang will definitely be disappointed that the family cannot be wiped out. She is a smart person and her planning is much more powerful than that of the third uncle." Han Qing said.

"If it's not yours, no matter how much you plan, it will be useless," said Chen Xueru.

Qin Zheng smiled slightly and thought, if there hadn't been this variable of our Qin family, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng would have been the ultimate beneficiaries. They would be the typical people who could sit at home, become extremely wealthy, and never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives. They would be the absolute winners in life. This is also the biggest criticism point in the drama "Love in the Full Moon", which makes the audience feel uneasy.

On March 1962, 3, Qin Huairu officially started working at the factory half a month after giving birth to Jia Huaihua.

Relying on her own intelligence, she quickly adapted to the job and her temperament began to change. Although there was still a hint of sadness between her brows, it was much lighter than in her previous life.

In the previous life, a sad look was the most common expression on that face.

time flies.

In January 1963, Liu Haizhong knocked on Qin Zheng’s office door and walked in happily.

"Chief Engineer Qin, my family's Guangqi is getting married on the 15th of this month. I respectfully invite you to attend the wedding."

After saying that, he placed the invitation in his hand on the table.

"Congratulations, I will participate."

"Then I'll be waiting for you."

After leaving Qin Zheng's office, Liu Haizhong felt very proud.

"Guangqi is the eldest son of my family. When he got married, I spent almost all of our family savings, and I spent three rounds and one ring, just to save face for him. Anyway, now that the factory leaders are attending the wedding, this face has been gained."

When Liu Guangqi got married, the wedding banquet was very decent. No, it cannot be said to be decent, it should be said to be luxurious. There were all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat in large quantities, and there were really good wine and delicious food. The people who attended the wedding banquet had a very happy meal.

After all, the difficult period had just ended, and although people's lives had improved, supplies were still tight and not abundant.

It seems that Liu Haizhong put a lot of thought into this wedding, and almost spent all his family wealth to make it a very decent one.

However, just like in his previous life, Liu Guangqi gave his parents a heavy blow on the second day of his marriage. He took his wife to live with his father-in-law in western Hebei.
