Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

At the deaf old lady’s home.

Seeing Shazhu coming in, the deaf old lady sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt and greeted him with a smile:

"My eldest grandson is so filial. He comes to visit me again!"

"Look what I brought you, old lady!"

Sha Zhu took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, opened it and handed it over.

"Hey, this is an egg cake." The deaf old lady smiled brightly, "I love you so much, come and give me something good."

"That is."

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "I'm planning a wedding banquet for a family today, and they gave it to me. I thought you would like it, old lady, so I picked out some soft ones to bring over."

"Well, it's delicious."

The deaf old lady took a piece and ate it while saying, "Silly Zhuzi, did you have a conflict with the Cao family kid just now?"

"Ouch!"

Sha Zhu shouted exaggeratedly: "Old lady, your hearing is not working well, right? How come it suddenly got better just now? You are amazing!"

"Don't interrupt me. I'm warning you, don't mess with the Cao family kid. He's not Xu Damao. If you hurt him, even I can't protect you."

Sha Zhu curled his lips indifferently: "I'm not stupid, I was just trying to scare that stupid boy."

The deaf old lady laughed and said, "That's right, my Zhuzi is not stupid, it's the Cao family kid who is really stupid."

"You don't want to marry a beautiful girl like Su Rong, but you want to covet the young wife of the Jia family. You are the biggest fool in the world."

"Among the three members of the Jia family, old and young, none of them is a good person. I, the old lady, have lived in the courtyard all my life, and I know everyone!"

"Ever since Jia Zhang married into this courtyard, I knew she was not a good person. Her son Jia Dongxu was taught by her to be a sly person, and he has long since grown into a crooked person. As for the young wife of the Jia family, she looks honest, but in fact she is quite cunning. As the old saying goes, if you are not from the same family, you will not marry into the same family."

The deaf old lady said that Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu were not good mother and son, but Sha Zhu didn't feel anything. Instead, he agreed with her.

But when it comes to Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu can't bear it anymore.

"Old lady, this has nothing to do with Qin Huairu. She was also forced."

"With a man and mother-in-law like that, what can a country woman like her do?"

"It's Cao Yue's fault too. He looks honest, but he's actually quite cunning. He deserves to be made a fool of."

The deaf old lady put down the cake in her mouth and warned:

"Zhu Zi, old lady, let me remind you that the people in the Jia family are not good people. You should not provoke them. The matter between the Cao family boy and the Jia family has nothing to do with you. Don't interfere."

Sha Zhu's eyes wandered: "I don't have the time to meddle in other people's business, I just can't help but be angry at their behavior."

The deaf old lady looked at Sha Zhu deeply, which made him smile awkwardly and turn his head away, not daring to look at her.

People become more shrewd as they get older. The deaf old lady had long seen that Sha Zhu had feelings for Qin Huairu.

However, she also understood Sha Zhu's temper. He was just thinking about it and would not do anything to hook up.

Unlike Xu Damao, that bad guy, it would be a waste of Lou Xiao'e, that good woman.

It would be nice if she could be a pair with her silly boy.

……

On Cao Yue's side, he found an old wooden barrel, poured the dirty water from Su Rong's laundry into it, and then took it out to pour it out, so that Su Rong didn't have to go out.

Matching for men and women, work is not tiring!

Three hours later, the two hung the laundry outside and talked around the stove.

Su Rong looked at Cao Yue intently, with a feeling that one should look at someone with new eyes after three days of absence.

"Xiao Yue has really grown up and knows how to care for his woman!" Su Rong thought shyly.

Today, Cao Yue not only did not avoid her, but also helped her with the work, which made her very happy.

"Xiao Yue, do you have anything to say to me?" Su Rong asked with a smile.

"no."

Cao Yue looked at the beauty in front of him with a smile.

Su Rong had already taken off her coat, revealing a high-necked pink sweater underneath, revealing her curvy and enchanting figure.

The girl is looking at the noodles, but she actually has a lot going for her!

At least Cao Yue knew that Su Rong’s child would never go hungry in the future.

Just for the health of his descendants, he had to accept this child marriage.

Su Rong felt shy under Cao Yue's fiery gaze, and she tucked her hair around her ears and covered it up:

"Xiao Yue, you...why are you looking at me?"

Cao Yue stared into her clear eyes and said seriously:

"Because Sister Rong is pretty!"

Su Rong's cheeks instantly turned red, her heart was beating wildly, she quickly stood up, hurriedly put on her coat and scarf, said: "I have to go back to school, I will come back next time I have a holiday", and then ran away.

Cao Yue was dumbfounded.

He wanted to flirt a little more and cultivate feelings with Su Rong, but he didn't expect that girls of this era were so thin-skinned.

Cao Yue walked out of the room, watched Su Rong riding her bicycle away without looking back, and returned to the house in a huff.

However, although Su Rong was scared away, my meaning has been expressed, and I believe Su Rong already understands my feelings.

Su Rong is so beautiful and a college student, so there must be a lot of guys chasing after her in the school.

In addition, the previous owner did not recognize their childhood engagement. Although he knew that Su Rong was determined, he was still prepared for the worst.

What Cao Yue said today was straightforward, just to add insurance for their relationship.

Su Rong left without eating. Seeing that it was already noon and he was hungry, Cao Yue went to the kitchen.

The Cao family said that they had two rooms, but in fact they were larger than the three rooms of ordinary residents.

In addition to the two bedrooms, there is another room separated as a kitchen.

Because of the fear of rats, the family put the food in a large jar half a person's height and covered it tightly from the outside.

Cao Yue opened the lid and looked through the bag inside. He found that there was not much food inside. Apart from twenty kilograms of corn flour, there was no fine grain at all.

This is just the beginning of the month!

Cao Yue patted his forehead and remembered that he had taken all the fine grain to the Jia family.

What a wasteful thing!

In this era, fine grains cannot be bought even if you have money.

Because you need tickets to buy anything, you need food tickets to buy grain, cloth tickets to buy cloth, and meat tickets to buy meat...

Grain and cooking oil even need to be distributed per capita.

Cao Yue’s monthly food ration was 32 kilograms, most of which were coarse grains, with only a small portion being fine grains.

Today's coarse grains are different from the coarse grains of later generations.

Take corn noodles for example. Maybe it’s because of the current processing technology, but this thing actually irritates the throat when eaten.

"It seems that after I get better, I must go to the pigeon market outside the city to buy some good things."

Cao Yue decided to take stock of his own assets first.

He closed the door tightly, then opened the cupboard, felt around on the top shelf, opened a secret compartment, and took out all the money and bills.

Cao Yue has been working for more than half a year and has been converted to a regular employee. He now earns 42 yuan per month.

But because of the existence of the Jia family, he basically spent all his money every month and didn't save a penny.

The money and tickets in the secret compartment were left by the previous owner's parents.

Cao Yue counted the money first, a total of more than 5,600 yuan, of which 2,000 yuan was pension.

This is definitely a huge sum of money in this era.

There are also many kinds of tickets.

Now Cao Yue only needs a bicycle ticket to buy a bicycle.

If I ride it, I will definitely be the coolest guy in the whole city!

As the deputy chief of the security department, Cao Guomin was given a bicycle ticket by the factory.

However, because of his leg injury, Cao Guomin could not ride the bicycle himself, so he used the ticket to buy Su Rong a 26-inch Phoenix brand women's bicycle.

This is also the second bicycle in the courtyard.

The first one belongs to Xu Damao.

Because Xu Damao was a film projectionist and needed to go to the countryside to show movies, the factory gave him a bicycle ticket.

But everyone still envied and hated Su Rong.

Jia Zhang secretly cursed at home: "That girl with dead parents is so lucky!"

"That cripple Cao Guomin is really stupid. He didn't buy it for his own son, but gave it to an outsider first."

This is also the reason why Su Rong firmly disagrees to dissolve the marriage.

The Cao Guomin couple were so good to her. If she broke off the engagement, she would be absolutely ungrateful.
