Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 109 Daily Life in Hutong 70 (7)
"Has the room been repainted?"
The surroundings looked bright and clean, without even a trace of cigarette ash from earlier.
Before coming in, Shen Yao heard from Xie Ci'an that a family of five, surnamed Fan, originally lived here. Later, the male owner was transferred to the south, and about three and a half to nearly four side rooms were vacated.
Logically speaking, such a large place should not be given to Xie Ci'an.
But who made Xie Ci'an special? The reason why Xie Shangjin and Tian Na were able to get the main room and the left ear room was because they were both capable and spent a lot of money privately to purchase exchange quotas. But this right ear room is different.
This is the home that Xie Ci'an earned with his own ability.
Thinking of the price of courtyard houses in Beijing after the reform and opening up, Shen Yao touched his chin, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Xie Ci'an.
As expected, he is the man she values, and even his ability to earn money for a house is top-notch.
Xie Ci’an: …?
"Do you like it? You can get some more cement and pave the floor."
Although this was a bit cumbersome, Xie Ci'an didn't find it troublesome when he thought of Shen Yao.
Shen Yao nodded and said, "You can put up some tiles," especially where the stove is placed at the entrance.
Otherwise, it will be smoky and hot, and even if you shave it well now, it won’t last long.
Xie Ci'an assured, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to get some back."
Shen Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is some surplus in the canning factory, we can use it here."
Shen Yao definitely couldn't say that before, but who could blame her for having just finished a big job for the cannery?
Take the mountain products for example, even department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives can’t sell enough.
Now that Shen Yao has found the source of supply for the cannery, she is doing a good deed.
As for the logistics department's hard work and need to run around, firstly, this is their job, and secondly, even if they stay in Beijing, they can still get help buying New Year's goods.
Moreover, when they go to the Northeast, they will not only receive travel subsidies, but they can also purchase mountain products first.
Overall, this job is not a disadvantage for the Logistics Department.
Even Xiao Deng from the logistics department went with them. Xiao Deng was admitted just one year earlier than Shen Yao. He looked very thin and small, not even as tall as Shen Yao's shoulders.
Shen Yao simply told Xie Ci'an about the cannery, and made an appointment with him to find a time to go there directly.
Anyway, they are just gathering dust in the warehouse, so they take them back to recycle them.
It's not just the tiles in the ear room that are a problem, there are also the accommodations in the two side rooms on the left and right. The small porch at the back must be used as a storage room to store rarely used utensils.
"There is also the issue of future children. We can partition the house and make a simple path for people to pass through so that the children won't have too much contact when they grow up."
Shen Yao spoke eloquently, while Xie Ci'an's face turned red with embarrassment.
They haven't even gotten married yet, isn't it a bit early to have kids?
However, whenever Xie Ci'an thought about the fact that he and Shen Yao would have children in the future, both boys and girls, he felt more excited.
Who doesn’t want to start a family with the person they love and live a happy life?
Xie Ci'an is a talented boy who has had a smooth life since childhood.
But this does not change the fact that Xie Ci'an is also an ordinary man.
Facing Shen Yao, Xie Ci'an seemed like a young boy who had just started out, his emotions were passionate yet restrained.
Not to mention, Shen Yao quite likes this style. After all, being more subtle requires people to feel it, but Xie Ci'an likes to express himself in a straightforward way, and his emotional changes are particularly intense, especially with his handsome face. The reason why Shen Yao has no objection to getting married next spring is because she can't control the itch in her heart.
Shen Yao: ...There's nothing I can do. People say that female beauty is attractive, but male beauty is also very tempting.
The two of them stayed in the ear room for a long time. It was only after Tian Na prepared the meal and asked Shitou to call them that they came out reluctantly.
However, the expressions of the two people who came out were a little strange, and the corners of their lips were too red.
Tian Na smiled and asked Shen Yao to sit down. "These are just some ordinary meals we eat at home. Xiao Shen, please don't be polite."
"Wow, grandma cooked fish, chicken, and braised pork today. It's so delicious."
Tian Na: ...
Shi Tou was so scared that he quickly covered Mu Tou's mouth, and at the same time whispered to Mu Tou not to talk nonsense.
They are twins, and giving birth was very difficult, which is also the main reason why Wu Zhaodi has not had a second child for many years.
"Xiao Shen, don't pay attention to them. They are just monkeys who like to be around people."
Tian Na stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg for Shen Yao. The overbearing aroma of meat filled everyone's nose.
Apart from anything else, Tian Na does have some skills in cooking.
According to Xie Ci'an, Tian Na learned from a restaurant owner in her early years.
If it weren't for the various things that happened later, he might have opened a small restaurant and become the boss.
"Thank you, auntie"
Shen Yao lowered her head to eat as Tian Na was thinking, and inevitably ate a little more.
Well, it smells really good~
Looking at the food on the table that had been eaten up, Tian Na asked Shen Yao to go inside and rest.
"Auntie, let me help you clean up."
"Don't be polite with Auntie, go into the house first, these are just trivial matters."
"..."
The two pushed and shoved for a while, and in the end Shen Yao was defeated by Tian Na.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law are all at work, why don't you see Duoduo?"
Shen Yao's time of coming this time was not a good opportunity, as only Tian Na was at home with Xie Shangjin and Xie Aidang's two sons.
Xie Shangjin is a taciturn person. When Tian Na gets busy, Shen Yao can only talk to Xie Ci'an.
"Duoduo was sent back to her parents' home by her second sister-in-law," Xie Ci'an whispered to Shen Yao about Wang Yanyan's family situation, "Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang work in a slaughterhouse."
Shen Yao understood. It was a slaughterhouse. It was a treasure land where one could have meat without any worries. No wonder they wanted to send their daughter back to her parents' home.
"We will be able to buy meat more conveniently in the future," Shen Yao touched the corner of his mouth, thinking that he was not greedy, but just making use of resources.
Xie Ci'an laughed out loud, "It's convenient. I can eat it every day if I want."
Shen Yao was so embarrassed that she punched the other person's shoulder, "Do you think I'm a foodie?"
If you eat it every day, you might be reported by people in the courtyard before you turn around.
With so many families living in the courtyard, Shen Yao didn't believe there would be no conflicts.
"There are indeed conflicts, but they are just trivial matters in daily life."
Xie Ci'an said seriously, "But there are a few families whose character cannot be said to be bad, but some of them cannot stand others being better than them."
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, unconsciously moved closer to the other person and lowered her voice, "Is this really the case?"
Xie Ci'an glanced out the window and said, "In our courtyard, the Lin family and the Jin family in the front are relatively normal people, and they are usually out of reach because of the door.
Of the four families in the main courtyard, the Cheng and Qian families can only be said to have some minor flaws.
The Cheng family has only daughters and they want to have a live-in son-in-law, while the Qian family has mostly men and they want to marry a capable wife.
There has been some quarrel between their two families recently, but it has nothing to do with us.
As for the remaining Zhou family and Zhao family, the Zhou family was a little strange. Not only did the whole family live together and eat well every meal, but they were always in conflict with the people in the courtyard.
The Zhao family is an orphan with a widowed mother. Several young men idled around all day long, stealing and robbing, and were caught by the security department several times but nothing was done. "
Shen Yao tilted her head, "Not old enough?" He could be sent to the police station for education.
Xie Ci'an shook his head, "My biological father is a hero, and the machinery factory and the neighbors are looking at our early friendship and face."
Shen Yao: ...That's true. A society based on favors is not just talk.
As they gossiped about what happened in the courtyard, Shen Yao became more interested and pulled Xie Ci'an aside to ask him questions.
What could Xie Ci'an do? He could only say whatever he wanted helplessly and lovingly.
Moreover, if you just go out and ask around Fengshou Hutong, you can get more details, and it cannot be concealed at all.
Places with many people are always lively. Who would have thought that the courtyard is not big, but there are so many things going on inside.
Either there is one less onion in my house today, or the chickens in the neighbor's house won't lay eggs tomorrow, or one family will have a quarrel with another and start fighting.
As Shen Yao listened to Xie Ci'an's endless scientific popularization, she wished she could turn into a melon-eating specialist and just stay in the yard to eat melons and watch the show.
Alas, what a pity.
The earliest we can move in is next spring. I wonder how many jokes this small courtyard can bring after the winter.
Pushing his bicycle out of Fengshou Hutong, Shen Yao and Xie Ci'an agreed on the next time they would meet, and Shen Yao turned around and went home.
At home, Grandma Zhou and Yuan Li were busy processing the batch of mountain products that Zhao Yueyue had mailed over.
I ate some at home and gave some to others, and the key is that there was still a lot left.
And this time, Shen Yao indirectly helped Zhao Yueyue a lot.
Zhao Yueyue sent a telegram overnight, telling her to wait for the gifts, saying that it was the enthusiasm of the villagers and she could not refuse.
Shen Yao: ...This is the advantage of having a smart brain. You will never starve.
"Mom, grandma, I'm back."
Shen Yao shouted before entering the door, changed into slippers, and ran to the junction of the kitchen and the living room to lend a hand.
Grandma Zhou stopped him and said, "Go back to your room and change your clothes. Don't ruin them."
Shen Yao sighed, "It's not dirty, grandma, you say that now, wait until I get married next year, and see if you want it or not."
Grandma Zhou snorted and continued to pick out the shriveled pine nuts and throw them aside.
The rest should be fried and eaten, and some saccharin or salt water should be added to enhance the flavor.
"How is it over there? I sent someone to ask about Xiao Xie's parents privately, and they are both fine.
The family hasn't been separated yet. I'm not worried about you getting along with Xiao Xie after you marry him, but your two sisters-in-law need to be careful with their behavior."
There are some things Grandma Zhou can't say too much, otherwise it would seem like she is stirring up trouble.
Shen Yao had taken off her cotton-padded coat and came out wearing a sweater.
"It's a courtyard house. The bungalow is more spacious than our upstairs, but the toilet is a bit far away.
There are a lot of people inside. Xie Ci'an told me today that they..."
Blah blah blah, Shen Yao did not forget to tell Grandma Zhou what she had heard.
Grandma Zhou was stunned, but she had lived in the countryside for a long time and understood that more people means more trouble. "Don't get too close to the front. If you live over there, it won't be lonely."
With a lot of people, the scene can become lively with just a few words from you and me.
It’s not like their tube-shaped buildings, where every household doesn’t communicate with each other except for cooking.
Shen Yao agreed, thinking that not only would it not be lonely, but it would be difficult to find peace and quiet there.
When she went out with Xie Ci'an this afternoon, she ran into two aunts from the Cheng family and the Qian family arguing.
Each of them is unreasonable and their saliva can be sprayed several meters away.
The two younger generations, Shen Yao and Xie Ci'an, took a detour. Shen Yao even noticed that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, who seemed to be called Cheng Xue, was staring at her with jealousy and resentment.
As a person with keen perception, Shen Yao immediately identified the culprit Xie Ci'an.
Under her harsh interrogation, Xie Ci'an had no choice but to admit his guilt.
He also revealed the fact that Cheng Xue was trying to be a toad and want to eat swan flesh.
Shen Yao still remembers Xie Ci'an's aggrieved look at that time.
Hey
When she moves in next year, the Cheng family will definitely pick a fight with her, no matter what.
But Shen Yao wasn't that scared.
While chatting with Grandma Zhou, Yuan Li sorted out these mountain products. When she was done, she used the kitchen to fry some food.
Shen Yao ate the fragrant pine nuts one by one. If there was no dinner later, she could have eaten the whole small plate.
Smacking his lips
Shen Yao felt that Zhao Yueyue could be faster, so she was counting on her good sister to help with the New Year’s goods this year.
In mid-December, a heavy snowfall covered the entire city of Beijing like a quilt.
The logistics department who managed to get back before the snow fell were extremely glad that they did not stay for another day.
Otherwise, it would be like coming back in the snow, but being stuck where you are and unable to come back.
Cannery workers like Shen Yao have to go outside to help voluntarily sweep the snow after work every day.
The warehouses of canneries are all afraid of snow, and everyone wants good luck at the end of the year. How can snow spoil the fun in a place with cars coming and going every day?
"Xiao Shen, stop working and go to the cafeteria to have a bowl of hot ginger soup to warm yourself up."
Zhou Shujuan shouted, then put the broom in her hand aside and walked towards the cafeteria.
Shen Yao stretched her body and took two quick steps forward to catch up.
She was not afraid of the cold. In fact, because of her good physique and the space she had as an external plug-in, her body felt a little hot.
"Sister Zhou, when are we going to have our holiday?"
Last year, the cannery closed down right before the New Year, but this year, production is said to be increasing, so the holiday may be extended to a few days later.
Of course, there are corresponding subsidies for working overtime during the holidays.
For example, some old employees of canneries who work overtime during the Spring Festival can receive double or even triple their original salary.
"It's said to be the 27th or 28th. If you want to go back earlier, you can go a day or two earlier.
But I suggest you follow the crowd. The subsidy for one day is equivalent to a normal salary. It is not a loss to earn a little more."
At this time, there is nothing important to do when going home for the New Year.
Like Zhou Shujuan, she would rather go to work than do all the cleaning at home.
Shen Yao nodded and shook her head, "Sister Zhou, I have to go back and discuss this with my family.
As you know, I will get married next spring, so there will be a lot to do during the Chinese New Year this year."
For example, if the whole family wants to go to Xie's house to meet up, they have to take advantage of the New Year when they are free.
When Zhou Shujuan heard this, she clapped her hands and said, "You are right.
It’s time to focus on your own family affairs first. Overtime is not limited to this year, there is still time for you to work overtime next year.”
The cannery was doing so prosperously that it was the envy of others, and they had no worries at all.
Shen Yao smiled shyly when she heard this, and thought that in another ten years, facing the impact of the market economy, such a prosperous canning factory would gradually become depressed.
In the face of the torrent of time, nothing can resist the objective laws of development.
