Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Yi Zhonghai felt unhappy when he saw Lin Ping ignoring him. In the past, he didn't dare to provoke Lin Ping, but now the situation is different. Lin Ping is still so arrogant. It seems that he has to teach him a lesson in the future.

He Yushui looked at Yi Zhonghai indifferently and said, "Uncle Yi, my silly brother has drunk too much, so I won't entertain you."

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about He Yushui's attitude. In his opinion, He Yushui was irrelevant to his retirement, so he stood up and nodded, saying, "Okay, you take good care of your brother at home, I'm leaving first."

West across the courtyard.

When Lin Ping came back, he saw Lin Qingya still pouting and sulking. He walked over, held Lin Qingya in his arms and said with a smile: "Okay, why are you angry? He is just a fool. Why are you angry with a fool? Why don't we do something meaningful?"

Lin Qingya blushed when she heard that. She rolled her eyes at Lin Ping and said angrily, "Bah, what are you thinking about in broad daylight." After that, she pulled Lin Qingyan and ran into the inner room. Lin Ping naturally followed her into the room. As for what happened, everyone could guess for themselves.

The next morning.

When Sha Zhu woke up and thought about what happened yesterday, he felt uncomfortable, but he had given up on Lin Qingya. At this time, He Yushui came in and asked, "Sha Ge, do you know what you did yesterday?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "I drank too much yesterday. Can't I apologize to Hei Zi later? I also realized that a forced melon is not sweet. I won't think about it anymore."

He Yushui nodded and said, "That's better. Sister Qingya made you cry yesterday."

West across the courtyard.

He Yushui came to the yard with his schoolbag on his back and said to the Lin Qingyan sisters who were washing up, "Sister Qingya, I apologize to you on behalf of my silly brother." After saying that, he bowed.

Lin Qingya helped He Yushui up and said with a smile, "What does your brother's drunken behavior have to do with you? Have breakfast here and then go to school quickly."

As they were talking, two maids, Lin Xuan and Lin Qing, ran into the yard.

"Sister-in-law, (Aunt)."

Lin Qingyan looked behind them and asked in confusion: "Hu Tou didn't come?"

Lin Qing laughed and said, "Hu Tou wet the bed and is being scolded by his aunt right now."

"Sister Niuniu is bad, I didn't wet the bed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Tou trotted in and glared at Lin Qing angrily.

Lin Qingyan picked up Hu Tou and said with a smile: "Okay, how could our Hu Tou wet the bed? It's all Sister Niuniu's nonsense."

Hu Tou immediately smiled and said, "Aunt is the best."

Lin Ping came out and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat breakfast and dinner, don't be late for school."

After breakfast, Lin Ping took Lin Qingyan to the street office to report. With the help of Director Wang, they were quickly hired as street clerks with a salary of 33 yuan.

At noon, Lin Ping sent a wild boar to the street office. It was only a small pig weighing about 70 or 80 kilograms, but this made the people in the street office very happy, and they all showed more kindness towards Lin Qingya.

Back at the courtyard, the children were all in school, Hu Tou had gone back to the back room, leaving Lin Qingya alone at home. Looking at the bored Lin Qingya, Lin Ping said with a sly smile, "How about we do something we should do?"

Lin Qingya blushed when she heard this, then took a step back and looked at Lin Ping warily, saying, "No, how can I stand your torture alone? Please spare me."

Lin Ping chuckled and said, "I can spare you, but..."

After hearing Lin Ping's whisper, Lin Qingya's face turned red and almost bled. She stammered, "No, my sister will definitely beat me to death. You should go talk to her."

Seeing that his young wife couldn't help teasing him, Lin Ping smiled and said, "Okay, you're bored, so let's go fishing this afternoon. If we can catch some fish, we'll have a snack in the evening."

Lin Qingya became interested after hearing this. She also knew how to fish in the countryside, and after all, it could provide food for her family, so she nodded and said, "Okay, but we don't have any fishing gear. How about borrowing some from the third uncle?"

Lin Ping shook his head and said, "Why borrow it? It's just two fishing rods. Let's just buy them."

Lin Qingya smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's see who catches more fish."

After a simple meal and some fishing gear, the two headed straight for Houhai Lake. It was still frozen at that time, so they borrowed tools from people nearby, dug two ice holes, and started a competition to see who could catch more fish.

Before the end of his previous life, Lin Ping went fishing out of boredom, but his skills were not very good, and he came up empty-handed most of the time.

It didn't take long for Lin Qingya to get a reward, a small crucian carp weighing two taels. She looked at Lin Ping proudly, and her little look was so adorable.

Time passed quickly, but the two were unlucky. Only Lin Qingya caught a crucian carp, while Lin Ping got nothing, which made him very depressed.

After returning to the courtyard, Lin Ping and his companion were teased by the three aunts at the door, which made them feel very embarrassed.

After get off work, Lin Qingyan walked home happily. On the way, she met Lin Yun. The two of them talked and laughed as they walked back together.

When they got home, the meal was ready. Lin Qingyan looked at the bowl of fish soup in the middle and asked, "Why did you buy such a small fish?"

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "What's the point of buying it? This was caught by me and Brother Pingzi. It didn't cost any money."

Lin Qingyan looked at Lin Ping and Lin Qingya, smiled and said, "You only caught one crucian carp in the whole afternoon? I am really laughing to death."

Lin Ping smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "I'm new to this. I'll have more next time. Come on, let's eat quickly."

While eating, Lin Qingyan said, "Today, Qin Huairu has become the husband-waiting stone again. I don't know what Sha Zhu is thinking. Now some people have started gossiping."

Lin Qingya was surprised and asked: "Sister, how did you know?"

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Have you forgotten where I work?"

Lin Qingya suddenly realized, "That's right, your street office doesn't know what's going on, I just didn't expect it to spread so quickly."

Lin Qingyan also smiled and said, "Yeah, it spreads really fast." Then she poured Lin Ping a glass of wine.

Lin Ping drank a sip of wine happily and said, "I guess someone must have spread it on purpose."

Lin Qingyan suddenly realized, "Are you talking about Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family?"

Lin Ping nodded and said, "That's about right. Let's not worry about that. How did you get along with your colleagues on the street today?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Everything is fine. Aunt Wang also takes care of me."

Lin Ping smiled and nodded, "That's good. Tell Aunt Wang that if you need meat, just let me know."

Lin Qingyan shook her head and said, "Brother Pingzi, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I don't want you to be too hard-working. I can handle the relationship between colleagues well."

The Jia family in the middle courtyard.

Qin Huairu was worried. Although she and her child now had rations, the rations were not enough. She still had to buy negotiated grain, especially since the glutinous rice was ready to eat. The child's original ration of 12 jin was now only 9 jin, which was not enough for the glutinous rice. She also had to add Jia Zhang, who was ready to eat. Jia Zhang did not have a ration, and if it were not for the Sha Zhu lunch box from time to time, she would have starved long ago.

Looking at the grandparents and grandchildren wolfing down their food, Qin Huairu felt worried. Little Dang couldn't eat much, and most of the food went into Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng's stomachs.

Even Jia Zhang was still complaining about not having enough to eat, Qin Huairu had no choice but to say, "Mom, there are a few families that can eat enough now, let's hold on, and everything will be fine after the famine."

Jia Zhang said with a gloomy face: "That old bastard Yi Zhonghai has not helped us in this period of time, and the old man still expects us to take care of him in his old age, grandma!"

Qin Ru looked out the window when she heard this, and when she saw no one was around, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mom, please stop talking. It would be terrible if Master Yi heard us. We still have to rely on him."

Jia Zhang curled her lips when she heard this, but she didn't say anything in the end. She just said to Qin Huairu, "It's not a big deal that we don't have enough to eat all the time. This silly Zhu doesn't have a lunch box every day. You have to think of a way. It's okay for us adults, but not for the children."

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "I understand. I'll ask Uncle Yi later."

Yan's house in the front yard.

The table was filled with dried sweet potatoes, and the family was eating with their heads down. Yu Li was in deep pain, but fortunately she could eat most of the food, which was better than going hungry.

Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiedi and asked, "Why don't you play with Xuanxuan and the others?"

Yan Jiedi raised her head and said, "No, we often play together, but they all have snacks in their pockets, and I don't have any, so I feel embarrassed to go up to them."

Yan Fugui sighed when he heard this: "This is what it means when a person is poor and has low aspirations."

In the early spring of March 1960, life became increasingly difficult, and the morale of people in the courtyard plummeted.

Lin Ping took Lin Qingya to the mountains to hunt early in the morning. It was called hunting, but it was actually just sightseeing. However, the harvest today was not small, with three pheasants and four hares.

The two of them returned to the courtyard with their prey. The third uncle, who had finished his get out of class early, saw them and said enviously, "Pingzi, you are really good at hunting. Look at the courtyard, only your family looks good. It's all thanks to your hunting. Unlike your third uncle, who has no skills and can't even get enough to eat at home."

Looking at the pale and skinny Yan Fugui, Lin Ping sighed inwardly. Now is not the most difficult time, it will be next year. He cannot help the Yan family openly, otherwise everyone in the courtyard will stick to him.

So he smiled and said, "Yes, it's hard these days. My family can barely make ends meet. Well, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll send it to my mother first."

The two of them carried the things and walked towards the central courtyard. Yan Fugui's eyes were glued to the prey, reluctant to look away. Yu Li, who was helping Auntie San with the work, also swallowed her saliva. She didn't even know how long it had been since she had eaten meat.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was washing clothes with her belly slightly showing. When she saw Lin Ping carrying so many preys, her eyes lit up and she said, "Pingzi, you have quite a harvest today."

Lin Qingya doesn't like the Jia family. If it weren't for Jia Zhang's report that her sisters had met that scumbag, how could Brother Pingzi kill people if her sisters hadn't met that scumbag? Even if he didn't kill people, Brother Pingzi would still be the section chief. So she ignored Qin Huairu and pulled Lin Ping to the back room.

Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly. She also knew that the Lin family hated her family, especially when her mother-in-law reported the Lin family, which led to Lin Ping being fired from the steel mill.

When Jia Zhang saw Lin Ping walking away, she started to curse, "Eat, why don't you die of fullness? You are such a heartless person, you will end up with a family that is wiped out sooner or later."

Back cover room.

Seeing Lin Ping bringing back so many prey, Wang Xiuzhi couldn't stop smiling and said, "Pingzi, you've made quite a harvest today." Then she took the prey from Lin Qingya's hand.

Lin Xuan, Lin Qing, and Hu Tou all ran over and cheered, "Great, we can have meat tonight."

Lin Ping said to Wang Xiuzhi, "Mom, I think we should let Grandma Zhang, Auntie San, and Liu Li in the front yard kill the pheasants and rabbits, and give them the internal organs."

Wang Xiuzhi also knew that Lin Ping wanted to help, and sighed: "Yes, it is becoming more and more difficult now. Okay, then I will go find them and kill them." After saying that, she walked out.
