Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Chapter 552 My Dear Granddaughter

Finally, the whole courtyard meeting ended. The Jia family felt that the money they had was too little, and they wanted to make a scene and ask the neighbors in the courtyard to donate more. However, the neighbors in the courtyard knew what a bad character the Jia family had, so they all ran away laughing. But Jia Zhang was so angry that she started to curse in the courtyard.

This scene made the neighbors in the courtyard, who lacked entertainment activities, see a big excitement. They all pointed and commented with smiles. Sometimes they were happy to tease Jia Zhang, but it really made the old woman angry. Some people even nodded and commented, which made Jia Zhang blush and went home in shame.

Yan Fugui and his family were all at home. Yan Fugui was writing and drawing with a pen. Sometimes he frowned, and sometimes he sighed. His old face was full of solemnity. After thinking for a while, he said, "Alas, life is simply unbearable. Old woman, the food for this family every month still needs to be planned for everyone's meal."

"If we are not hungry, we can eat something good in the morning, because it is the beginning of the day. At noon, we can eat half full and hold on until dinner at night. As for the night, I think we can eat less, after all, if we eat a full meal and go to bed at night, we will still be hungry the next morning."

Yan Fugui thought about it, and said to his wife and children, "I'll take the white flour at home and exchange it for some corn flour in the pigeon market." Yan Jiecheng immediately refused to do so and said to his father, "Hey, Dad, this corn flour is not enough to fill us up, and we are very tired from work every day."

Yan Jiekuang also said, "We are very tired after a day of school. What can you do if you go to work? Dad, I think we should just eat white flour. We can eat enough of that." Yan Fugui was so angry at his son's words that he snorted and said, "Hey, you dog, do you think I don't want to eat good food? Do you think I don't want to eat white flour buns?"

Yan Fugui smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Now on the black market, one pound of white flour can be exchanged for four pounds of corn flour. White flour is nutritious and can strengthen the body of patients. Okay, this matter is settled. Old woman, bring me the white flour you bought today, and I will go to the black market to exchange it later."

Yang Ruihua nodded quickly. She also supported her husband. Nowadays, any food that can fill the stomach is good food. There is no need to dislike this or that. Yan Fugui's children were a little unhappy. They wanted to eat white flour buns very much, but it was obviously just a thought in their minds.

"Sniff, what's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?" The eldest brother Yan Jiecheng wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and found an inexplicable fragrance. Yu Li also nodded, and then said with some envy, "It must be Qin Huairu's family making something delicious! Mm, it smells so good."

Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes and started to make plans with his father. He smiled and said to his father, "Hey, Dad. Don't you always say that you have a good relationship with He Yuzhu? Why don't you help get some of these delicious foods from He Yuzhu's house so that our whole family can satisfy their cravings?"

Yan Fugui glared at his good-for-nothing son, shook his head helplessly and said, "You little bastard, you still want to scheme against me. You let me save face and ask for delicious food while you sit back and enjoy the benefits. There is no such good thing in the world."

Yu Li looked down on her man. She felt that the man she valued should not be like this. He had no manliness at all. But things had come to this point. What could she do even if he didn't renew it? She could only swallow her anger and stay in Old Yan's house forever.

Yan Fugui thought about it and felt that what his son said was not without reason. With the support of his son and wife, Yan Fugui also wanted to go to He Yuzhu's house to try. Yan Fugui really didn't expect that this big fool's cooking skills were so good, which really made him envious. Thinking about his relationship with the old He family, it was no problem to go and get a meal, and he was about to walk towards He Yuzhu's house.

He Yuzhu and his family were eating. Nowadays, the situation in both the countryside and the city is getting better and better. In the past few years, the steel mill dismissed a large number of temporary workers without urban household registration, and the people in the Qin family were naturally among them. But no one in the Qin family resented He Yuzhu. On the contrary, they had a lot of feelings for him.

During those years, they made a lot of money by following He Yuzhu, and they also built courtyards in Qinjia Village. The couple would go to Qinjia Village whenever they had time. Qinjia Village now implemented a collective big pot system, and He Yuzhu thought that he would go there to join in the fun after a while.

He Qingmei smacked her lips while eating the meat her father cooked. She said to her father and mother, "Mom and Dad, when will your aunt come back? I miss her a little bit now." Qin Huairu smiled and touched her daughter's head, saying kindly, "Maybe after a while, when the Dragon Boat Festival comes this year, your aunt will definitely come back to celebrate the festival."

He Yuzhu asked his daughter, "My dear girl, do you miss your aunt?" He Qingmei nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Mom and Dad, my aunt promised to bring me a gift next time she comes back." The relationship between his daughter and her sister can be said to be very good, which makes He Yuzhu very happy.

Looking at his daughter's chubby face, He Yuzhu wondered if his daughter had to lose weight. He Yuzhu's face was so ugly when someone knocked on his door when he was leaving. Don't you know that in this era, you can't visit others when they are having dinner?

Qin Huairu opened the door, and it turned out to be Old Lady Long standing outside. Old Lady Long showed a kind smile and said to Qin Huairu, "My dear granddaughter, you miss me so much." Qin Huairu was speechless again. This old woman called her husband her grandson a few years ago, but after making a fuss for a while, she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

I didn't expect that she would dare to call me granddaughter now. The couple had already reached a consensus with this old lady Long. There was no need to add more ancestors to their heads for a little property. Qin Huairu said with a dark face, "Old lady, are you confused? There is no granddaughter here."
