Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Lin Ping's words pushed Yi Zhonghai into a corner. How could Yi Zhonghai use his salary to help the people in the courtyard? He wanted to kill two birds with one stone by using the meat of the Lin family in exchange for his own reputation. However, he did not expect Lin Ping to be so sharp-tongued, which made him a little embarrassed for a moment. So he snorted coldly and said, "Unreasonable!" After that, he ignored Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui and turned around to leave the back room.

When Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui met each other, they didn't dare to ask to buy meat, so they had to leave with Yi Zhonghai in embarrassment.

After the three uncles left, Sha Zhu gave Lin Ping a thumbs up and said, "Pingzi, you are still the best."

Wang Xiuzhi's face was not looking good either, and she said in a hateful voice: "Is Yi Zhonghai bored? Why is he always picking on our family?"

Hearing this, Lin Ping smiled and said, "Mom, why are you angry with him? It's not worth it. By the way, stew the pig heart and liver for Zhuzi, and keep some of the remaining internal organs and bones. As for the rest, give some to those in the courtyard who have a good relationship with you."

Wang Xiuzhi naturally had some neighbors in the courtyard that she could name, such as Li Qing's wife Liu Li, who moved in later, and Grandma Zhang from the front yard. She also knew that they were having a hard time, so she smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send it to them in a while."

Li Qing's family has many people but is not wealthy. Their life is worse than that of the Jia family. Grandma Zhang in the front yard has only two people, a grandmother and a grandson. Her son died on the Korean side, and her daughter-in-law died of complications during childbirth. Now they rely on subsidies to make ends meet, and their life is very difficult.

Wang Xiuzhi is usually willing to lend a helping hand, so she has a good relationship with Liu Li and Grandma Zhang. By sharing the pig offal and bones, the two families can live a good life for a few days.

Lin An helped Wang Xiuzhi deliver the things to the two families, and naturally received a lot of thanks. You know, the pig's offal weighs more than ten pounds, and the two families can share several pounds, which is an unexpected good thing, not to mention there are pig bones, so the two families are naturally grateful.

Wang Xiuzhi and Lin An sent pig bones and offal to Li Qing's family and Grandma Zhang's family, but everyone in the courtyard was envious and secretly cursed the Lin family for being bad people. Jia Zhang, in particular, hated the Lin family to death, but fortunately, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu persuaded them and they did not cause trouble.

At noon, Sha Zhu made braised pork with pork intestines and stewed a big pot of spare ribs. The three little girls ate with their mouths drooling. Lin Ping also took out a bottle of tableware, and the meal was ready.

The three little girls were so full from eating that they sat on their chairs unwilling to move, while Wang Xiuzhi and Li Jing, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were clearing the table.

After smoking a cigarette, Sha Zhu was about to say goodbye. Lin Ping cut five pounds of meat for Sha Zhu to take back and eat with Yu Shui in the evening. Sha Zhu didn't hesitate. He thanked him and left with the full Yu Shui.

Wang Xiuzhi looked at the dozens of kilograms of pork left and said worriedly, "Pingzi, what should you do with all this pork? It will go bad if you can't eat it. It's better to make it into bacon."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Mom, my sister and sister-in-law don't have jobs yet. I thought of sending some meat to Director Wang so that he can arrange jobs for my sister and sister-in-law. If the street office arranges jobs for them, it will save people in the courtyard from gossiping."

Wang Xiuzhi nodded quickly after hearing this and said, "Yes, you are right. Your sister and your sister-in-law have important jobs. It's okay for us to eat less meat."

Lin Yun was surprised when she heard this: "Pingzi, is it possible? It's hard to find a job nowadays."

Lin Ping smiled and replied, "We'll talk about it later. Even if the street office can't accommodate you, I can still arrange for you to work in the steel mill."

Director Wang's home is not far from the courtyard house. He lives in a separate house with its own door and courtyard. When Lin Ping knocked on the gate, Director Wang's voice came.

"Who is it?"

Director Wang opened the door and saw that it was Lin Ping. He smiled and said, "Pingzi, why are you here? Come in and talk."

Director Wang still remembered Lin Ping, the combat hero, very clearly. Moreover, he was the chief of the security department of the steel rolling mill. The public security in this area would depend on him in the future, so Director Wang was very polite.

Lin Ping carried the pork into the yard and said with a smile, "Auntie Wang, I just shot a wild boar and brought you some meat to try. Don't worry, I shot it myself and it didn't cost you anything. I won't let you make any mistakes."

Director Wang was a little unhappy when she saw Lin Ping carrying 20 to 30 kilograms of pork, thinking that Lin Ping wanted to ask her for something. But when she heard that it was wild boar meat, her expression softened a little and she said, "Pingzi, life is not easy these days. You should take the meat back and eat it yourself. My family has no shortage of meat."

Although she said this, her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the pork. Even though she was the street director, supplies were in short supply at that time and her family couldn't get much meat.

Lin Ping placed the pork on the stone table and said with a smile, "Auntie Wang, I have nothing to ask of you. I just want you to taste the game. A pig weighs 300 kilograms, and my family can't finish it. You should keep it, or it will go bad."

Director Wang thought about it and said, "Okay, then Auntie Wang won't be polite to you. If you have any problem, just come to Auntie Wang. Auntie Wang will definitely do it for you if she can."

Lin Ping smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I will come to see Aunt Wang if I have something to do. If Aunt Wang is fine, I will go back first. I still have some pork to deal with at home."

Director Wang tried to persuade him to stay, "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until your uncle comes back, and then you two can have a drink together."

Lin Ping walked away and said, "No, Aunt Wang, let's wait until next time." Then he walked out of the yard.

After Lin Ping left, a woman holding a child came out of the room and asked, "Mom, who is here?"

When he saw the meat on the stone table, he couldn't help licking his lips and said, "Wow, this must be thirty kilograms. Mom, you can't make a mistake."

Director Wang rolled his eyes at his daughter-in-law and said, "This is wild boar meat that people hunted themselves, so it's not a mistake. Besides, I know what's going on. Come with me and pack it up. Leave five pounds for us to eat as meat, and make the rest into bacon to eat later."

"Hey, I'll put Xiaobao on the kang and come right away." After saying that, he hurried into the house.

When Lin Ping returned to the courtyard, he saw Yan Fugui standing at the gate. When he saw Lin Ping, he smiled and said, "Pingzi, you are good. It will take some time to eat such a big wild boar. You see, Uncle San has some good wine. Shall we drink some tonight?"

Lin Ping knew Yan Fugui's character. Although he would taste the saltiness of the manure carts at the door, they were all minor problems, not major ones. Compared with the later Jia family, they were in a world of difference, and much better than Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. Therefore, he smiled and said, "You don't have to drink. Ask the third aunt to come to my house later. I have some offal. You can bring it back and try it."

Yan Fugui smiled brightly upon hearing this, and said quickly, "That's great, Third Master will be rude to you. You also know the situation of Third Master's family."

Lin Ping smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Third Uncle, my sister will need your care in the future when she goes to school."

Yan Fugui nodded and smiled: "No problem, we are all from the same courtyard, don't worry."

Not long after Lin Ping returned home, Third Aunt came to his house with a bowl. Lin Ping asked his mother to give the remaining offal and pork bones to Third Aunt, which made Third Aunt smile so much that she couldn't stop and kept praising him.

After the third aunt left, Wang Xiuzhi said unhappily, "Pingzi, Yan Fugui never spoke up for our family on weekdays. It was only when you came back that the relationship improved. Why should we give him pig bones?"

PS: At that time, meat and other good things had to be exported to earn foreign exchange, so civilian supplies were in short supply.
