Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

After all, in this era of material shortage, even Yang Ming, the deputy factory director, could not avoid quantitative cuts.

According to their past spending, they will probably be short of money soon.

"Deputy Director Yang, you're back?" Someone in the crowd greeted him warmly, but there was a hint of probing in his words, "I heard that the ration has been tightened recently. Life is not easy these days."

However, Yang Ming did not seem to take these words to heart. He continued to walk home with his daughters and simply responded: "Life must go on. There will always be a way. The state and the street office will take care of us."

He lowered his head to ask his two daughters what they liked for dinner. The youngest daughter Yang Jingping said coquettishly that she wanted to eat the braised pork made by her mother, while the eldest daughter chose Mapo tofu. Yang Ming smiled and nodded, and then the mouth-watering aroma of dishes came from the backyard.

The aroma quickly spread among the neighbors, causing a lot of discussion.

"This Yang Ming, he really doesn't know how to be frugal. He's still so extravagant at this time."

"Yes, the ration has been reduced, but he still doesn't care. He will suffer in the future."

Jia Zhang interrupted with a smug look on her face: "Our family knows how to live. Dongxu is a regular employee in the factory, I have a job in the street, and Huairu has a part-time job pasting matchboxes. We don't have to worry about food and clothing."

These words made the people around them envious. Indeed, according to Jia Zhang's description, the Jia family lived a very comfortable life in the courtyard.

"Jia Zhang, your actions this time are really well thought out. I admire you!"

"That's right. I'm afraid even the Third Master would be ashamed of his own wisdom this time."

"In the future, if our family encounters any difficulties, Jia Zhang, you must consider giving us some help."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Zhang's face suddenly turned gloomy. She glared at the person who spoke and spoke in a harsh tone.

"Help? Humph!"

"Don't even think about taking advantage of our family. We earned all this with our blood and sweat!"

"You have to figure out a way yourself, don't just think about getting something for nothing!"

After this was said, everyone looked a little embarrassed. Before this, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu often asked their neighbors for help on the grounds of various misfortunes.

Out of friendship among neighbors, everyone lent a helping hand to a greater or lesser extent. But at this moment, Jia Zhang's attitude changed drastically! The atmosphere seemed a little stiff.

At this moment, Qin Huairu saw the situation and hurriedly came out to smooth things over, holding her belly.

"Don't get me wrong, my mother-in-law speaks frankly and means no harm."

"We will always remember everyone's help to our family over the years."

“If we are ever in trouble, we will never sit idly by.”

"Ah!"

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, although everyone didn't say it, they knew it in their hearts. Is Jia Zhangshi a straightforward person?

She had clearly spoken out her true feelings just now! They didn't think that Jia Zhang would really help them when they encountered difficulties in the future.

So, everyone shook their heads and left. Qin Huairu also looked at Jia Zhang with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Mom, why did you say that just now?"

"Even though our family is self-sufficient now, it is not a long-term solution for so many people to live under one roof."

“We will need the help of our neighbors to find more spacious accommodation in the future.”

As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of Sha Zhu's house intentionally or unintentionally.

"Am I wrong?"

"Those people are extremely poor." Jia Zhang shook her head with disdain.

"Anyway, our family doesn't need them right now."

"But over there, Silly Pillar..."

Considering the large population in the family and the upcoming birth of a child, it is indeed not a long-term solution for six people to squeeze into one small house.

Especially for Banggeng, he needs his own space in two years.

"Shazhu is a kind-hearted kid. If you mention our difficulties to him more often, maybe he will be willing to make some room for us."

"You have to keep this in mind..."

"in addition,"

Jia Zhang seemed to remember something, her face darkened and she reminded again.

You must remember that as the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, you must abide by the code of conduct for women and keep a proper distance from Sha Zhu. This is a boundary that cannot be crossed.

If there is any disturbance, Dongxu and I will not let you off easily!

This stern warning left Qin Huairu with mixed feelings.

Originally, she was instructed by Jia Zhang to get close to Sha Zhu in order to seek benefits, but at this moment, it was Jia Zhang who asked her to draw a clear line between herself and Sha Zhu.

This kind of erratic instructions made Qin Huairu feel helpless and aggrieved.

Driven by this emotion, Qin Huairu couldn't help but secretly look at Yang Ming's house in the backyard. She was full of envy for Xu Huizhen.

Also the mistress of this courtyard, Xu Huizhen lives so comfortably, has her own career, and is cared for by a husband like Yang Ming.

And what about herself? She can only be trapped in this little world, facing Jia Zhang's critical eyes and constant accusations every day.

At the same time, Yang Ming was also busy. After learning that the supply of materials in Sijiu City was tight again, he immediately took action.

He came to Chen Xueru's residence, which was not unfamiliar to Yang Ming.

Although this house was the ancestral property of Chen Xueru's family, by the time of Chen Xueru's generation, due to family changes, only Chen Xueru's grandmother and an old servant of the Chen family were left.

In this era, servants no longer exist, so this old servant is also regarded as a member of the Chen family. The arrival of Yang Ming, the son-in-law, attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard.

Aunt Chen, Yang Ming responded, I’ll bring you some food.

Dabao, haven't you rested yet?

No, his wife is playing with him.

That’s great. I haven’t been close to Dabao for some time.

After saying that, Yang Ming carried a bag of flour to the kitchen, and then saw his son, whose nickname was Dabao and whose official name was Chen Xuewen.

Yang Ming didn't care that his son didn't take his surname.

On the contrary, everyone in the Chen family, from Chen Xueru's grandmother to Chen Xueru herself, felt that Yang Ming had been wronged.

In this age that values ​​blood inheritance, many people believe that only when children take their father's surname can they be considered to have truly inherited the family lineage.

However, although Dabao didn't spend much time with Yang Ming, he was very close to him. As soon as he saw Yang Ming, he jumped over happily.

dad!

Hey, Yang Ming smiled and picked up his son, holding him high up. "My dear," Yang Ming called softly.

He asked with concern whether he had been well-behaved at home recently and whether he had remembered his mother and grandmother's advice.

It has to be said that Dabao, as Yang Ming’s pride, inherited that extraordinary heroism and wisdom.

At this moment, Dabao, together with his younger sister Yang Jingli, are studying in a first-grade classroom, but their school is located on the other side of Qianmen Street.
