Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy
Chapter 16 Undercurrent
The third uncle was very surprised by Zhang Jialiang's behavior in the past two days. After thinking for a while, he continued:
"Yesterday they had fish soup, and today it was even more outrageous, not only fish but also rabbit meat!
Where did he learn this skill?
I have been fishing for so many years, but I have never caught fish like him every day. From now on, everyone in our family must have a good relationship with him."
“What’s the point of having a good relationship with him? Can he give you fish?
Their family conditions are even worse than ours, and they can only eat meat a few times a year."
"You don't understand this, right? It's beneficial for us to have a good relationship with this kid Zhang Jialiang.
First, maybe I can find out his fishing secret from him in the future. If I learn it, will our family have fish to eat every day?
Second, it is wrong to say that their family conditions are poor. Their family conditions were poor in the past. The man in their family died in those years, and the family had many people and relied entirely on Wang Shujuan's salary to survive. Their conditions were indeed not as good as ours.
But everyone in their family is diligent and efficient at work, especially their daughters. Ever since they took on odd jobs making matchboxes at the match factory, their monthly income is quite good, but other people don't know about it.
I heard that they make over 30 yuan a month just from making matchboxes, plus Wang Shujuan's salary and her third daughter's salary, plus their second daughter's occasional sewing and mending jobs, they make about 90 or 10 yuan a month. Now they make about yuan a month, averaging yuan per person a month, which is more than ours."
"what!
I didn't know they could make so much money making matchboxes!
It’s hidden really well!
Why don't we go and look for some and start making matchboxes too? We have a large family so we should be able to earn a lot of money. I have never been better than others in this area of work. If their family can do it, so can we."
“I’ve thought about this and inquired about it, but it doesn’t matter. It’s not easy to get this kind of work.
There are so many people without jobs in the city right now, who wouldn't want to do some odd jobs and earn some income? "
"Then how can the Zhang family get the job?
Did they know anyone in the match factory?
How about we talk to them and have them give some to our family?"
"I said I should treat their family better in the future because of this consideration. Do you understand why I said that now?"
"Old man, you are smart and calculating. I don't understand all this, and I haven't thought about the ins and outs of it."
"That's right. Don't you see who I am? I have enough food and clothes, but if I don't plan well, I will be poor. If I wasn't in our family, we wouldn't even have pickled vegetables to eat."
"That's right. Our family of six depends on you, old man. Jie Cheng can only find odd jobs on the street. He works sporadically and his monthly income is uncertain.
If it weren't for you, old man, our whole family would be starving!
Jie Cheng, Jie Fang, Jie Kuang, Jie Di, I think you four all heard it!
Listen to your father and be nicer to the Zhang family members in the future!"
……
In addition to the Third Uncle's family, the Jia family's family was also very lively in the east wing of the central courtyard.
Their precious grandson Banggen was rolling back and forth on the ground, tumbling and yelling:
“I want to eat meat!
I want to eat meat!
I do not care!
I want to eat meat!"
"Bang Geng'er, it's so late now, where can I get you meat?
Besides, didn’t we just eat meat two days ago?
Who can afford to eat meat every day?
Mom made you cornmeal paste, some pickled vegetables, and a drop of sesame oil. It was delicious."
Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng'er rolling on the ground, feeling helpless and distressed. She could only persuade him with kind words and even planned to cruelly drop a drop of sesame oil into the pickles so that Banggeng'er could eat well.
But Banggeng'er no longer wanted to eat cornmeal porridge and steamed bread. Ever since he smelled the aroma of stewed meat at Zhang Jialiang's house, his mind was full of meat. Any kind of meat would be fine, but it couldn't be cornmeal porridge and pickles. He was tired of these things and didn't want to eat them at all now, not even with a drop of sesame oil on them.
"I don't eat porridge or pickles, I just want to eat meat. The Zhang family in front is stewing meat, why do they have meat to eat but we don't?
The meat they stew is so delicious, I want to eat meat!"
To be honest, Jia Dongxu is a pretty good person. For the sake of his family's life, he works hard and studies locksmith skills diligently.
Moreover, he is quite capable and is now a second-level fitter. He entered the factory as a temporary worker at the age of 18, became a regular worker at the age of 20, passed the first-level fitter exam at the age of 23, and passed the second-level fitter exam at the age of 27.
He has come this far, step by step, and is indeed a role model for the younger generation in the courtyard.
He is tall and handsome, has a mild temper, is polite and very motivated.
Otherwise, Qin Huairu wouldn't have fallen in love with him at first sight, and she wouldn't have even asked for a dowry, nor would she have thought that their family was poor at the time.
After long-term observation, the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai also affirmed Jia Dongxu's character and accepted him as his apprentice. He was very satisfied with the person he would take care of in his old age.
When Jia Dongxu saw that Banggeng'er had learned his mother Jia Zhang's throwing tantrums at such a young age, he was immediately furious. Jia Zhang was his mother and he couldn't say that his mother was bad. But it was different for Banggeng'er, he was his son and he had to teach him a lesson.
He stood up suddenly, pulled Bang Geng up, pressed him on the small stool, and slapped Bang Geng'er's butt twice, while beating him and giving him a very stern lesson:
"Great stalk!
You still want to eat meat!
I just ate meat two days ago and now I want to eat meat again. Where can I find so much meat for you?
Even if there is meat, you have to let your mother eat it. Your mother is pregnant now and is pregnant with your brother or sister.
Have you also learned to throw tantrums?
If you dare to do this again and disobey the adults at home, I will beat you every time I see you!
Did you hear that? "
Before Banggeng'er could react, he received two heavy blows on his butt, which really hurt him. He was not afraid of anyone in his family, but his father Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu would not tolerate him and would teach him a lesson when necessary.
After being beaten, he became more obedient, stopped crying, and prepared to eat.
However, when Jia Zhang, who was standing nearby, heard what Bang Geng'er said, her eyes started rolling around. After hearing that the Zhang family was stewing meat, she also felt a little greedy and began to ask Bang Geng'er:
"My dear grandson, you said the Zhang family in the front yard is stewing meat today? What kind of meat is it stewing?"
