Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

After a few days of quiet life, Lin Ping clearly felt that some people in the hospital had changed their attitude towards him, but he didn't care. During this period, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu both came to Lin Ping's house to persuade him.

As for Liu Haizhong, his nose was not a nose and his face was not a face when he saw Lin Ping. Yi Zhonghai did not show it, but the smile in his eyes could not deceive anyone.

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Lin Ping brought a slab of pork to Old Liu's house in the military region as a way of repaying their kindness. The Liu family entertained him warmly and did not look down on him. Old Liu also told him to tell him if he had any difficulties, which made Lin Ping feel warm inside.

Director Wang’s home.

Lin Ping came to the yard carrying a fan of wild boar meat. Director Wang was picking vegetables. When he saw Lin Ping coming in, he wiped his hands, stood up and said with a smile: "Pingzi is here, come in and sit down."

Lin Ping smiled and shook his head, saying, "Aunt Wang, I won't go into the house. I have to go to other houses, so please don't see me off." After saying that, he was about to leave.

Director Wang stopped Lin Ping, rolled his eyes at him and said, "Pingzi, why are you so anxious? There is a clerk position available in the street. I think we should let Qingyan go to work."

Lin Ping felt warmed at the words and did not refuse. He smiled and said, "Okay, how much does it cost?"

Wang Xiuzhi patted Lin Ping and said with a smile, "Why ask Auntie Wang for money? I can just give this pork to the people in the street."

Lin Ping waved his hands and said, "That won't do. This is my gift to Aunt Wang. As for the meat for the work station, I will send it to the street office when the work starts."

Director Wang was surprised and asked, "Are you sure we can still get pork after the New Year?"

Hearing this, Lin Ping patted his chest and said, "Auntie Wang, don't worry, I can beat him if I say so."

Director Wang was not polite and nodded, "Okay, Aunt Wang will accept it. I was just worrying about the meat for the New Year, and you delivered it."

Lin Ping was about to leave when Director Wang's husband Ma Jianguo happened to come back. Director Wang's husband worked in the district and was usually very busy, so he didn't see Lin Ping very often.

When Lin Ping saw Ma Jianguo coming back, he smiled and said, "Uncle Ma, you're back."

Ma Jianguo patted Lin Ping on the shoulder and said, "Pingzi, I've heard about your situation, but don't be discouraged. Uncle Ma will arrange another job for you if there's a chance."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll thank Uncle Ma first."

Lin Ping also knew that he had a criminal record and it would be impossible for him to find a good job, so he didn't take it seriously and left after saying a few words.

Ma Jianguo stopped him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Have a drink with Uncle Ma before you go. Your brother Qingshan will be back soon."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Uncle Ma, I really have something to do. I will come back to have a few drinks with you during the New Year."

Seeing that Lin Ping was really busy, Ma Jianguo stopped trying to stop him and said with a smile, "Okay, you go back first. Uncle Ma has kept the work in mind."

Siheyuan.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e knocked on the Lin family's door carrying mountain products.

Lin Qingya opened the door and saw Xu Damao and his wife. She smiled and said, "Xiao'e, you are here. Come in quickly."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and asked, "Are you Qingyan or Qingya?"

Lin Qingya pursed her lips and said, "I am Qingya."

When they got to the house, Lin Ping came out and said, "Da Mao, Xiao E, come in and sit down."

Xu Damao put the mountain products on the table and said, "Pingzi, I know you don't have a job. These are the mountain products given to me by the people who show the movie. Keep them for yourself."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Life is not easy these days, so you should keep it for yourselves."

Xu Damao pretended to be angry when he heard this and said, "Pingzi, you were the section chief before, and I was afraid that people would gossip when I sent you something. Now you are not the section chief anymore, so what's wrong with me sending you something? I wonder who dares to gossip. I, Xu Damao, admire people like you who dare to risk everything for your wife."

Seeing Xu Damao say this, Lin Ping stopped being polite and gestured to Qingyan to accept the things and said, "Then I won't be polite."

Xu Damao then smiled and said, "That's right. Although I, Xu Damao, am not a good person, I also have my bottom line. Pingzi, you can risk your life for your beloved. I, Xu Damao, admire you."

Lin Ping sighed inwardly when he heard this. Although Xu Damao was a bad guy in the play, he did not harm anyone except reporting the Lou family. In that era, there were many couples who became enemies because of their background. Now it seems that Xu Damao is not without good points, but a villain is still a villain, and he did not think about making close friends with Xu Damao.

But since Xu Damao had shown goodwill first, he couldn't be too distant, otherwise it would provoke conflict, so he shook his head and said, "It's the same for you. If you can't even protect your wife and children, are you still a man?"

When Lou Xiao'e and the other two girls heard this, a glimmer of surprise flashed in their eyes. Anyone would feel at ease marrying a man like this.

At night, when they went to the back house for dinner, Wang Xiuzhi learned that Lin Qingyan would go to work in the street after the New Year, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, this will make me feel relieved."

Lin Shanhai also happily raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate Qingyan finding a job."

Lin Xuan and Lin Qing also raised their sodas and said, "Cheers!"

Li Linping's family feels more at ease now that someone in their family has a job. Although Linping is capable of not starving, they can only feel at ease if there is a formal employee at home.

New Year's Eve.

The Lin family celebrated New Year's Eve in the back room. The table was filled with delicious food, most of which was brought back by Lin Ping.

Lin Shanhai warned: "Pingzi, it's okay for us to eat less, but you must not make any mistakes."

Lin Ping nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, I bought all these with the meat I killed, I didn't make any mistakes."

Lin Shanhai then smiled and said, "Okay, Dad knows you are a man of measure."

Wang Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at Lin Shanhai and said, "My son is capable, if you are capable, don't eat it."

The family was talking and laughing when He Yushui ran in with red eyes. Wang Xiuzhi had long regarded He Yushui as half a daughter. Seeing He Yushui's red eyes, she asked distressedly, "Yushui, what's wrong? Tell Aunt Wang and Aunt Wang will help you vent your anger."

He Yushui choked up and told the whole story. It turned out that Yi Zhonghai took the lead on New Year's Eve, and the Yi, Jia, He and even the deaf old lady celebrated the New Year together.

It would have been nothing, but the Jia family didn't prepare anything and just waited for free food. There was only one meat dish on the table, and the grilled sausage brought by Yi Zhonghai. As a result, He Yushui didn't get to eat anything before she was bullied by Jia Zhang and Bang Geng. He Yushui was so angry that she started arguing. Unexpectedly, with Yi Zhonghai's favoritism, Sha Zhu scolded He Yushui and said she was ignorant.

He Yushui ran to the Lin family in a rage. Wang Xiuzhi was furious when she heard this and cursed, "Yi Zhonghai is such a piece of shit, and Sha Zhu is also terrible. Doesn't he know that you are his biological sister!"

Originally, Lin Qingya didn't like Sha Zhu's burning eyes. Now that she knew that Sha Zhu was still a fool, she hated him even more. She said angrily, "How could Sha Zhu do this? Not only did he give his own food to outsiders, but he also didn't give it to his own sister. Isn't this a fool?"

Hearing this, Lin Ping smiled and rubbed her little head and said, "Otherwise why do you call him Shazhu? Well, forget about them and let's eat our own food."

Wang Xiuzhi looked at Lin Qingya and asked, "Are you Qingyan?"

Lin Qingya thought to herself that something was wrong, the actions just now were too intimate, but now was not the time to explain, so she nodded, but glared at Lin Ping fiercely.

Lin Xuan looked at Lin Qingya and then at Lin Qingyan, her little head a little confused. The person sitting on the left was clearly her sister-in-law, why did she change now?

Wang Xiuzhi didn't think too much about it. She looked at He Yushui and said, "Okay, you can spend the New Year at Aunt Wang's place and let your brother and the others go by themselves."

He Yushui nodded heavily and said, "Well, I will be a member of the Lin family from now on. When I go to work, I will respect Uncle Lin and Aunt Wang."

Wang Xiuzhi happily touched He Yushui's little head and said, "Okay, then you will be Aunt Wang's daughter from now on, and Aunt Wang will pay for your dowry."

He Yushui nodded her head and said, "Yeah."

Niuniu was struggling with a big bone. Seeing that Niuniu was chewing it happily, Hutou reached out to grab it. Li Jing quickly stopped him and said, "Little ancestor, don't burn yourself."

As he spoke, he picked out a bone with more meat and put it in a bowl to dry, then said to Hutou, "Don't be in a hurry, Hutou, you can eat it later. It's hot now."

Little Tiger Head was also obedient. He looked at Niuniu and then at the bones, and his mouth was wet. Li Jing looked at him and smiled, "You are as greedy as your father."

Lin An rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "How can you talk like that? Who's greedy?"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful.

During the meal, Lin Ping said to Wang Xiuzhi, "Mom, I plan to bring Qingyan and Qingya back to visit in the third year of junior high school."

Wang Xiuzhi nodded and said, "It should be."

After the wedding ceremonies on the first and second days of the New Year, Lin Ping took the two sisters on their journey home the next morning.

Sister Lin Qingyan was very excited when she thought about seeing her family soon. It was the first time they had been away from their mother for so long, how could they not miss her? In the car, Lin Qingyan said, "Brother Pingzi, we don't need to bring so many things. There is no shortage of food at home."

Lin Pingze smiled and said, "This is all as I should. Besides, it didn't cost me anything. I earned it all by hunting."

It was almost noon when the three finally arrived at Linjia Village. However, seeing that the villagers looked pale and thin, they knew that the famine had become serious again.

When they arrived home and saw that Li Fanglin and Dalong looked in good spirits, the three of them felt relieved. Although his complexion was not as good as that of the city people, it was much better than that of the villagers.

Li Fang happily let them in and asked with a smile, "Why are you back?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Didn't Brother Pingzi say he would be back after the Chinese New Year when he left? But I will be working next year, so I may not be able to come back."

When Li Fang heard that her daughter wanted to eat commercial grain, she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, this way I will feel more at ease."

Lin Qingya asked, "Mom, I see you and your elder brother and sister-in-law look so exhausted, why are you still not full?"

Li Fang glared at Lin Qingya and said, "What do you know? If our family looks too healthy, anyone with a discerning eye will be able to tell that we don't lack food. Wouldn't that cause trouble for us? So we don't eat too much, so we can save more food."

Lin Qingyan was more stable. She nodded and said, "That's good. It saves us trouble, but it will make you suffer."

Li Fang shook her head and smiled, "Why are we suffering? We are living in misery now. Look at the situation in the village. Many people have gone out to make a living. Alas, food is very expensive outside now. I heard that a bag of food can be exchanged for a wife."

Lin Ping put the things on the table. He didn't bring much food this time. Most of them were daily necessities and some cloth and meat.

Seeing so many things, which must have cost at least several dozen yuan, Li Fang looked at Qingyan and blamed her, "Why did you come back with so many bags? How will your in-laws view our family?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, my mom is very open-minded. She is kind to Qingya and me. This is what she told me."

Li Fang knew from her daughter's complexion and clothes that she had not been wronged in the Lin family. She said with red eyes, "You are lucky to have met a good family."
