After Jingyi became the factory inspector, the neighbors in the courtyard immediately complimented her. Whenever she returned to the courtyard, the neighbors would first smile and greet her.

"This girl is a big deal in the factory! I heard from my boss that she can manage the factory director and the workers in the workshop." A group of aunts gathered together, and one of them talked while looking at her back.

"It's not as weird as you say! She is a cadre in the factory office who is in charge of labor discipline. As long as you don't violate the factory's rules and regulations, she can't control you." Someone refuted the aunt.

"Even tigers take naps sometimes! Can you guarantee that you will always make mistakes? It's right to maintain a good relationship with this girl. For the sake of the neighbors, she will definitely let her off." Some people also agreed with the aunt's statement.

"Is Xu Yueling really that powerful? She has only been in the steel mill for a few days. She is so young, but all those big men in the factory obey her?" Jia Zhang couldn't help asking, holding the sole of the shoe.

"She graduated from a prestigious university, and became a cadre as soon as she entered the factory. In our courtyard, she is the first of her kind. I heard that those fearless troublemakers in the factory would lower their heads and listen to her commands when they saw her." Another auntie showed off the news she had heard.

"Doesn't that mean that all of us who work in the steel mill will have to flatter this girl in the future? Even the uncles will have to listen to her?"

Jia Zhang was amazed when she heard this! She had never expected that girl to be so successful. She was only nineteen years old and had a bright future.

As soon as Jingyi opened the door and pushed her bicycle into the house, Xiaohuahua staggered to find her. In her simple little mind, as long as the pretty aunt came back, her stomach would no longer feel uncomfortable.

The first thing Jingyi did was to pour hot water for Xiao Huaihua to wash. No one in the Jia family took care of her, so she was left alone in the yard every day, and she was dirty all day long.

This time, she gave the little girl a big meat bun and poured her a cup of hot soy milk. Just like in her previous life, Qin Huairu was also happy to see Xu Yueling treating her little daughter as a treasure.

Jingyi took a basin to the public pool to wash clothes. Inside was a coarse cloth sweat bag that Xiao Huaihua had just changed out of, and a pair of tattered open-crotch pants.

A pair of tattered open-toed cloth shoes had been thrown away by Jingyi. Jingyi bought a small floral dress on the shopping platform, white socks and small sandals for Huaihua to wear.

Qin Huairu and the uncle Sha Zhu went home together after get off work after just hanging the washed clothes in the corridor of the west wing of Jia's house. Qin Huairu saw Xu Yueling helping to wash and dry her daughter's clothes, and hurriedly apologized with a false face.

"I'm sorry, Yueling, how can I ask you to help with the laundry? Huaihua has no one to take care of her in the yard, and she likes to go to your house. I'm really causing you trouble."

"It's okay! I have a liking for this little girl of yours. I don't have any intentions towards her, I just simply like her." Jingyi replied to her indifferently.

Here, Xiao Huaihua was a little panicked when she saw that her pretty aunt had gone out and hadn't come back. The big meat bun in her hand suddenly didn't smell good anymore! She slid down from the chair and found the middle courtyard.

Qin Huairu was stunned when she saw her little daughter wearing new clothes! Who would make new clothes for a three-year-old child? Isn't this a waste of fabric?

Looking at the half-eaten meat bun in his little daughter's hand, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously. Although the famine year has passed for more than two years, the supply outside has not yet fully recovered to the level before the famine year, and this food ration is still the top priority.

But Xu Yueling was willing to use such expensive food to feed the children of the neighbors in the yard.

"Mom, where did Huaihua get the meat buns? I want to eat meat buns too."

Banggeng appeared in the middle courtyard with his schoolbag on his back. When he saw the meat buns in his little sister's hand, his mouth immediately began to drool. He was twelve years old this year, and it was the time for him to grow up, and it was also the time when he was most eager for food.

Jingyi took Xiao Huaihua and left! She had never had any sympathy for such a selfish person.

Before she even entered the backyard, she heard the sound of Banggeng rolling around and making a scene behind her. And Qin Huairu was trying to persuade him!

"Mom will definitely bring back some meat buns tomorrow! Today, your silly uncle brought back some stir-fried pork from the cafeteria, which is also delicious. I'll give it all to you, not Huaihua and the other two."

Jingyi sneered! This Qin Huairu will always be like this! She is destined to suffer all her life. This life will probably be very miserable! Without Lou Xiaoe and Xiaodang's blood transfusion from Hong Kong, life will be even more difficult.

Yu Shui came out of the east wing with sleepy eyes. It was her turn to rest today, and she was awakened by Bang Geng's howling. She touched her belly and went to the west wing in the backyard.

Jingyi had just taken out various ingredients from the warehouse when Yushui knocked on the door.

"I didn't have lunch. I heard you have meat buns here?"

"That's all! If you want to eat, just make it yourself. The ingredients are all here, you can make your own. Rice is the staple food tonight!"

Jingyi doesn't indulge her bad habits now. She can't let her become lazy, or she will be disliked by her in-laws in the future.

Yu Shui had been forced to be independent since she was young, so cooking a few dishes was a piece of cake for her. She yawned and took a basin to the public pool to wash the vegetables.

Jingyi carried the coal stove to the yard and opened the stove door to blow away the choking smoke.

"The girl from the Xu family is nineteen years old this year, right? Do you have anyone you like?"

When Jingyi turned around, she saw the deaf old lady standing behind her with a cane and a smile on her face.

"I just graduated from school, so it's too early to talk about marriage. My brother isn't married yet either!" Jingyi said perfunctorily.

"This age is not too early! According to the national marriage regulations, women can get married when they are 20 years old. You have to date someone for a few months, and this time is just right." The deaf old lady persuaded with a smile.

Shit! This deaf old lady had no chance to fool Lou Xiao'e, so she came to me? I want to see how she fools me.

"You can't just find any partner, right? You have to find someone you are satisfied with. Marriage is a big deal for a girl." Jingyi replied to the deaf old lady with a smile.

"Yes! When looking for a partner, you must find someone you know well. First, he must be kind-hearted and respectful to the elderly. Second, don't just look at the appearance. You must find a man who knows how to manage a life and who loves his wife." The deaf old lady began her way of deceiving people.

"The conditions you mentioned may seem simple, but they are actually very hard to find. He has to know your background, be kind-hearted and love his wife. I have never met such a person." Jingyi continued with her topic.

"How can there be no one? We have one in our compound. What do you think of He Yuzhu? You two have known each other since childhood, and he has no bad habits. He also has a skill to support his family, and there is no burden on his family." The deaf old lady observed Jingyi's facial expression and named her candidate.

Jingyi pretended to touch her chin and think. She nodded and replied, "Well! Brother Zhuzi is a good person! Unfortunately, he is just like his father, he likes other people's widows. He sends warmth to the widow's family every day! If I find him, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

"Who said that? Zhuzi is kindhearted. He couldn't bear to see his neighbor starving, so he helped him. This actually highlights his virtue." The deaf old lady was a little anxious! She slammed her cane and defended Zhuzi.

"But it's also true that he hangs out with the widow every day. Didn't you see the two of them going to and from get off work together, talking and laughing? Anyone who doesn't know would think they are a couple!" Jingyi added.

"I'm going to talk to Zhuzi about this and ask him to pay attention to the impact. What do you think...?" The deaf old lady was still chattering, but when she saw Yushui coming over with a basin, she stopped talking.

"I'm also handing over this stove to you! You're responsible for tonight's dinner."

Jingyi told Yushui and went back to the west wing without paying attention to what the deaf old lady wanted to say. Instead of talking nonsense with her, she might as well go play with Xiaohuaihua.

The deaf old lady looked at the rain, and then she went to the east wing of the central courtyard with her cane. She wanted to discuss with the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai and find a chance to marry this girl out of the courtyard.
