Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Plus, my sister sometimes eats with Lin Xuan and the others at Lin's house, so her complexion is pretty good and she doesn't look pale or thin.

When the two sisters were eating, they heard Liu Guangtian calling for a meeting outside, so they answered and hurried to eat.

Middle Court.

Sha Zhu went out and muttered, "Why hold a big meeting when there is nothing to do? It's really nothing to do."

He Yushui patted Sha Zhu and said, "Why are you talking so much? Just follow along."

When Lin Ping came out of his house, the central courtyard was almost full of people. Xu Damao said directly: "Second Master, what is the matter that requires a meeting? Can't you rest early after a tiring day?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong placed the enamel pot in his hand heavily on the table and said in a deep voice: "Xu Damao, do you have any objection?"

Xu Damao curled his lips and said, "Uncle Er, it's not that I have a problem with it, but you know what kind of time it is now. We don't have enough food to eat, so how can we have the mood to hold a meeting? If you hold a meeting, won't everyone get hungrier even faster?"

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. Liu Haizhong saw that he was about to arouse public anger, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, it won't take up much time. Today, let's talk about the Lin family in our courtyard."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. All the neighbors in the courtyard knew that Lin Ping was not to be messed with, and besides, he had helped them two days ago, so they all kept silent.

Lin Shanhai was originally happily celebrating with his family for Lin Ping, but he didn't expect to be ruined by Liu Haizhong. At this time, he heard Liu Haizhong talking about his family affairs, so he stood up and said coldly: "Liu Haizhong, what happened to my family? Is it worth you to hold a meeting to talk about it?"

Liu Haizhong coughed and said, "Shanhai, it's your family's fault. We all admit that your family is well off, and Pingzi can hunt, so your family has no shortage of food. But it's different for our neighbors in the courtyard. They don't even have enough to eat. Shouldn't you consider everyone's feelings when you eat like this?"

Lin Shanhai was so angry that he laughed, "Liu Haizhong, everyone knows that Pingzi is capable. We didn't steal or rob, all the money was obtained legally. Just because you are not well off, does that mean we have to eat coarse food? How can this be justified?"

Liu Haizhong smiled awkwardly and said, "Shanhai, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that your family is so well off, can you help the neighbors in the courtyard?"

Jia Zhang was the first to jump out and say, "Second Master is right. The Lin family is well off and has plenty of food and fish every day. They should at least help us poor people. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Wang Xiuzhi understood that the meeting might have been initiated by Jia Zhangshi in order to get her family to donate grain and money, so she stood up and sneered, "Jia Zhangshi, your family is so ungrateful, who would be willing to help your family? Don't forget that our two families are enemies. I would rather help beggars on the street than your family."

Qin Huairu had to stand up and cry when she heard this: "Auntie Wang, I know it was me who broke off the engagement first, and I am sorry for your family, but my family is really in such a difficult situation. We adults can still endure it, but the child can't. Huaihua is still drinking milk, so please have pity on us."

When Qin Huairu cried, everyone looked at the Jia family with sympathy. Wang Xiuzhi thought that Qin Huairu was indeed difficult to deal with, but she was not a pushover, so she sighed and said, "Qin Huairu, I understand that your family is in trouble, but my family is not rich either. We have given all the surplus food to the people in the courtyard. Why don't you see if they are willing to give you some?"

Wang Xiuzhi immediately pushed the matter onto the neighbors in the courtyard. Once the neighbors who were helped mentioned their own families, they immediately changed their tone. Old Mrs. Xiao from the Xiao family directly stood up and said, "We can't even get enough to eat at home, so how can we help the Jia family? The little food you gave us, Xiuzhi, is not enough for us to eat."

Everyone nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes."

Once the matter involves me, I would rather die than let my friends die.

Wang Xiuzhi saw that the effect was good, and spread her hands and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. After all, no one is rich these days, and the food that my family can give out is the limit."

Qin Huairu was filled with hatred, but she couldn't say anything. She secretly sighed that Wang Xiuzhi was not easy to deal with.

Lin Qingya, with her bulging belly, secretly gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up, and Wang Xiuzhi smiled at her knowingly.

Liu Haizhong was a little bit upset for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Xiuzhi to help so many people, so he looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, there are only two people in your family, and you often donate rainwater away from home. Why don't you donate some?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu cursed, "I'm donating to your uncle. Yu Shui and I don't have enough food. If Yu Shui hadn't often gone to Aunt Wang's house to eat, we would have starved a long time ago. You only make more than 80 yuan a month, why don't you donate some?"

Liu Haizhong was so angry at Sha Zhu that he almost vomited blood, but he didn't know how to refute, so he looked at Xu Damao and Li Tong and said, "You two families in the courtyard are in good condition, why don't you donate some?"

Before Xu Damao could say anything, Lin Qingyan stepped forward and said, "Master Er, it's not appropriate to ask two orphans to donate food, how about I go to the street to ask?"

Liu Haizhong was instantly silent upon hearing this. If this matter were to be reported to the street, he, the second uncle, might be dead. So he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't think it through. So I will donate 20 yuan to buy food and give it to the needy families in our courtyard."

Liu Haizhong had no choice but to do so. After all, he was the one who convened the conference. It would be unacceptable for him not to donate some money, but his heart was bleeding.

Seeing Liu Haizhong donating money, Yan Fugui smiled awkwardly and said, "Everyone knows my family's situation, so I won't donate, otherwise my family will starve to death. But I will ask Jiefang to exchange this money for food in Pigeon City and distribute it to the needy families in our compound."

Everyone understood Yan Fugui's situation and no one said anything, so the only victim of this conference was Liu Haizhong.

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to adjourn the meeting, Lin Ping, after careful consideration, stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped and looked at Lin Ping, wanting to know what Lin Ping was going to say.

Since Lin Ping saw Yan Jiedi's situation that day, he realized that the children in the orphanage were suffering, so he came up with the idea of ​​helping the children in the orphanage.

Lin Ping walked to the center of the crowd and said, "From today on, our family will no longer be in the relief center."

As soon as Lin Ping finished speaking, everyone was furious, especially the families who had just been helped. They stared at Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhang with red eyes. If they hadn't made trouble, why wouldn't the Lin family help them? Therefore, they hated Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhang in their hearts.

Although Lin Shanhai and Wang Xiuzhi did not understand what their son meant, they believed that their son would not say such things for no reason, so they asked Lin Ping to continue.

Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhang were so uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, especially Liu Haizhong who felt so regretful that he believed what Jia Zhang said.

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. Since my family has the means, we won't watch anyone starve to death in the courtyard. What I mean is this: I won't support the adults in the courtyard. From now on, all children under the age of fifteen in the courtyard will come to the West Wing every night, and I will provide them with a full meal."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was the first to applaud and said, "Pingzi, you are so generous. You are a real man in our city. I, Xu Damao, will also contribute five dollars." After saying this, he looked at Sha Zhu provocatively.

Sha Zhu naturally couldn't be outdone by Xu Damao, so he said, "I'll give five dollars too."

Of course, everyone understood that the most difficult part of the family was having so many children. If the children could have a full meal at the Lin family, the family would be relieved. So everyone kept saying nice things and praised Wang Xiuzhi and her husband for raising a good son, which made Wang Xiuzhi smile from ear to ear.

After returning home, Wang Xiuzhi hesitated and said, "Pingzi, let the children eat in the back room. It will be troublesome if Qingyan is pregnant and gets caught."

Lin Ping thought about it and felt that it made sense. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I will send the food to you."

The next evening.

Liu Li and several other wives in the courtyard came to help Wang Xiuzhi steam the steamed buns. They were grateful to the new village that their children had a place to eat a full meal. Of course, they couldn't let Wang Xiuzhi work alone, so they all came to help Wang Xiuzhi cook.

After dinner, the children came to the back room. Wang Xiuzhi saw that Li Wan from Li Qing's family was not there, so she went over and pulled her over. Li Wan said embarrassedly, "Auntie Wang, I'm not a child anymore."

Wang Xiuzhi smiled and said, "You are just a child in Aunt Wang's eyes."

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang didn't dare to come, but Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi came.

The cornmeal dumplings for dinner were large and filling, and the children also had their first full meal. After eating, they all rushed to help Wang Xiuzhi wash the dishes, and Wang Xiuzhi was also very happy.

Of course, there was a small episode before the meal. Jia's Banggeng Xiaodang also came, but was driven away by Lin Xuan. Wang Xiuzhi originally wanted to keep the two children, after all, the mistakes of adults should not be blamed on the children, but Li Jing stopped her and whispered, "Mom, aren't you embarrassing Pingzi?"

Wang Xiuzhi came to her senses after hearing what was said and stopped caring about it. When Jia Zhang saw her grandchildren rushing back, she came over angrily to demand an explanation, but when she saw Lin Yun and Li Jing glaring at her angrily, she became too scared to make a scene and went back.

West across the courtyard.

Lin Xuan and the other girls were eating with their mouths full of oil. While eating, Lin Qing said, "My uncle's chicken legs are so delicious."

Lin Ping smiled and rubbed her little head and said, "Niuniu, if you want to eat chicken legs, come and find your uncle."

Lin Qing nodded her head and said, "Well, uncle is so nice."

Jia family.

Jia Zhang sat on the kang in anger without saying a word. Qin Huairu also hated the Lin family to death. What could the child do wrong? Did the Lin family have to be so ruthless?

No matter what the Jia family thought, the neighbors in the yard were all smiling.

Yan's house in the front yard.

Yan Jiefang looked at Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi with envy and asked, "Jiekuang and Jiedi, are you full?"

They both patted their bellies at the same time, and Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "I'm full. I haven't been this full in a long time."

Yan Fugui glared at Yan Jiefang and said, "Alright, eat your meal quickly."

The next morning, at the steel mill.

As soon as Lin An arrived at the workshop, he was taken to Li Huaide's office by the secretary. He asked anxiously, "Director Li, did I do something wrong?"

Li Huaide smiled and said, "Lin An, don't be nervous. Your brother Lin Ping and I are good brothers. I called you here this time to ask you, the dispatching position in the factory is vacant, are you interested?"

Lin An was stunned when he heard this. Dispatching was a cadre position, and the work was easy. How could he not be happy? It would be decent to say it out loud, so he stammered, "Li... Director Li, can I do it?"

Li Huaide laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "If I say you can do it, then you can do it. You can do the dispatching job for a while, and when there is a chance, I will transfer you to a cadre position, so that you can be promoted in the future."

Lin An said excitedly: "Thank you Director Li, I will definitely work hard."

Li Huaide also returned the favor and said with a smile: "Okay, then go and hand over the work."

When Lin An returned to the workshop and told the story, not only was his master surprised, but even Lin Shanhai was shocked, thinking, "Is my family going to have two cadres?" So he asked, "Why would they promote you to be a dispatcher for no reason?"
