Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 258

Qin Huairu hurriedly pushed the door open and entered the room. Xu Damao was supporting Mrs. Zhang who had fainted. Qin Huairu stepped forward to support her and asked, "Why did you faint?"

"When I mentioned that Bang Geng was going to be imprisoned for a year and a half in the juvenile prison, Aunt Zhang fainted."

Xu Damao continued: "It's okay to faint, I'll wake up after a while, first carry Aunt Zhang to the bed."

Xu Damao lifted his upper body, Qin Huairu moved his two legs, and finally got Mrs. Zhang onto the bed and covered her with a quilt. Xu Damao said, "Fortunately, Aunt Zhang has lost a lot of weight, otherwise she wouldn't be able to move it anymore."

Qin Huairu asked:
"Is my mother-in-law okay?"

"It's okay, just wait a while."

Both of them didn't know that they would pinch someone when they fainted. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was breathing normally, no different from falling asleep, they felt relieved.

Qin Huairu said: "Da Mao, go and bring over a dried rabbit and stew a rabbit tonight. My mother-in-law has been eating boiled vegetables for several months. Give her some meat today."

Qin Huairu kept a few rabbits on the side of the house, and he was reluctant to eat the big ones, and sold some to supplement the family, but only kept two or three dried ones for the New Year.

Today I just stewed one to satisfy the old lady's gluttony.

In Yi Weidong's room, there are a room full of children, who knows that there are no adults in this room, everyone can chat and play to their heart's content.

Seeing that it was getting dark, each of them left very reluctantly, and made an appointment to come and play together tomorrow, and finally Xiaodang and Sophora japonica were left.

Yi Weidong said: "Let's go and see if your mother has come back. If not, we will go to Grandpa's house to play."

Xiao Dang asked: "Uncle Wei Dong, can my mother bring my grandma here?"

The three of them left the house and walked towards the middle courtyard along the chaoshou veranda. Yi Weidong said:
"Let's go and see if it's okay, but your grandma is sick, so don't play in front of her, you know?"

"Oh!"

"understood."

After passing through the moon gate, I saw that the lights in the west wing were all on. It seemed that the mental illness had been taken home. The little sister cheered and finally saw her mother and grandma.

Yi Weidong watched the little sister enter the room, and turned to the old man's room for dinner.

The next day is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, but this year there is no thirty, this day has passed according to the thirty of the new year, Yi Weidong's house is the activity base for the children in the courtyard, Yi Weidong is willing to use charcoal, the burning is the most warm, There is also a supply of melon seeds and peanuts. Without the supervision of adults, everyone wants to play and don't want to leave.

There are still a lot of people going to work in the rolling mill today, and He Yuzhu, the chef squad leader, can't be absent from work. He watched Yi Weidong and He Yushui sighed and went to work in the morning.

After Qin Huairu settled the house, Xiao Dang said, "Mom, it's already thirty today, why do you still have to go to work?"

Sophora Hua also said, "Mom, when are you making dumplings?"

Qin Huairu squatted down and said, "Hua Huai is good, let's make dumplings when Mom comes back tonight, let's go play in the backyard later!"

"Oh!"

Today is New Year's Eve, there are still some production tasks in the factory that have not been completed, and the workshop needs to be cleaned up by the way. In the afternoon, Qin Huairu finished her work and left first.

He just didn't go to the gate, he turned a corner and entered an office. This is the key given by the deputy director Li. Today, taking advantage of the lack of people in the factory, he found another opportunity to have an affair.

The two of them sneaked in several times. After waiting for a while, Deputy Factory Manager Li also came in. Seeing that Qin Huairu was already waiting in the inner lounge, he put down the net bag in his hand, entered the room and said with a smile: "Huairu Ru, I miss you so much."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "What's the hurry! I've already belonged to you, and I have something to tell you."

"Can you not be in a hurry, I finally found this space, let me be happy first."

There are many people in the rolling mill, and it is not easy for the two of them to have an affair when they have some time. Qin Huairu also got up to [-] points, and served Deputy Director Li comfortably. Deputy Director Li lit the after-event cigarette, and then remembered to ask :

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu lay in Li's arms and whispered, "Is the factory still recruiting people for Chinese New Year?"

"Of course we need to recruit people. Recently, the guy surnamed Du started bicycle assembly. After the Chinese New Year, we will expand the scale. The factory needs to recruit a group of temporary workers."

The factory has decided to expand the scale of bicycle assembly. After the new year, it will find some temporary workers to come over for training. The production after the new year will not be included in the plan. The benefits of this exchange are all for the rolling mill , the factory leaders are most concerned about this matter.

Qin Huairu held down Deputy Director Li's troublesome hand in front of her, and said, "Don't make trouble, listen to me!"

Qin Huairu glanced shyly and said, "I have a cousin, who still has a rural household registration in my hometown. I want to find a job in the city and transfer the household registration to my home."

This is the same as Yi Weidong at the time. If there is a job and someone is willing to accept it, you can put your household registration in the city. If no one accepts it, you will not be allowed to move your household registration here on the street. The factory is located in Hongxing Commune.

This is outside the city, or a rural household registration.

This is why Yi Weidong needs to hang at He Yuzhu's house.

Deputy Director Li thought about it and asked, "Is that the one who watched the movie together?"

Deputy Director Li also met Qin Jingru when watching a movie. I still remember that Qin Huairu had a beautiful country girl. Hearing that Qin Huairu said that he wanted to find a job for her, Deputy Director Li's lust was moved again. up.

Qin Huairu smiled and said: "It's my sister, it's rare that you, a big leader, still remember it."

Then he said, "Then how about giving my sister a temporary job?"

Qin Huairu is greedy for the money Qin Jingru has in hand. After this year, Qin Huairu will divorce Xu Damao again. Qin Jingru married Xu Damao, and she has nothing in her hands. Although Xu Damao spent a lot of food and drink recently, she also let Xu Damao play for nothing. After so many days, Qin Huairu felt a little unbalanced.

Coveting Qin Jingru's money, Qin Huairu finally came up with an idea, that is, to find a temporary worker from Deputy Factory Manager Li, and then tell Qin Jingru that he has a way to buy a temporary worker, so that he can sell the temporary worker to Qin Jingru ?
I can get the 200 yuan for selling the job from the middle. If this is done, won't I save 200 yuan of private money at once, and divorce Xu Damao in the future, and life may be easier.

If you don't wait for a while, you can ask Deputy Factory Manager Li for a recruitment quota, 200 yuan a time, wouldn't it be a flattering thing.

Deputy Factory Manager Li felt very comfortable after being massaged. After a rest, he regained his energy. Isn’t it an indicator for recruiting workers? It’s not just a matter of one sentence, he smiled:

"It's all trivial matters. Who are you and me? Isn't your sister my sister? I'll just give you some pointers when the time comes."

When Qin Huairu saw that Deputy Factory Manager Li agreed to come down, she immediately beamed with joy, and said charmingly, "I want more."

Deputy Factory Manager Li got up and put on his clothes when he was done. Before leaving, he said, "There are ten catties of pork for the Chinese New Year outside. You can take it back for the Chinese New Year."

Qin Huairu was lazily leaning on the head of the bed, she had no strength in her whole body, and didn't even want to move a finger. Hearing that there was an extra harvest today, she just hummed and continued to lie on the bed.

Qin Huairu cleaned up the back room, picked up the ten catties of pork and white noodles outside, and went straight home.After walking all the way and taking a break, she finally returned home. Qin Huairu put the noodles and meat on the round table, and slumped on the chair, not wanting to move. She was really exhausted today.

Jiazhang put down the shoe upper in his hand, saw Qin Huairu carrying a net bag of pork and a cloth bag of white flour, and said pleasantly, "Oh, why did you get so much meat?"

Qin Huairu said: "Don't ask, I bought it on behalf of someone."

If it was given by deputy factory manager Li, why did he give you so much meat? It would be equivalent to half a month's salary. Isn't this making yourself unhappy!
Jia Zhang doesn't know how much money he has now, it's just as much as he says.

Mrs. Zhang said happily: "If so much meat is saved, it will be enough for us for three months. I will chop it up and freeze it."

Mrs. Jiazhang went out and cut the meat into small pieces, put them away, and went into the house to complain, "Huairu, Xu Damao, who is in his [-]th year, is going back to his parents' house for the festival. Did you guys quarrel?"

Qin Huairu said: "His parents have something to do and went back to their hometown at noon. They talked about it in the morning and came back in the evening, and they brought dumpling stuffing. We will make dumplings at night."

Xu Damao originally wanted to spend the New Year at his parents' house without coming back on the [-]th. Qin Huairu thought about it and still didn't agree. The two of them have been married for so long. If Xu Damao went back to his parents' house to celebrate the New Year on the [-]th, no one would say that Qin Huairu was wrong. what!
Xu Damao asked Qin Huairu to go back to her parents' house to meet and have a meal together after the new year. Qin Huairu has never met Xu Damao's parents since she married Xu Damao. !

After Qin Huairu agreed, Xu Damao also agreed to celebrate the Chinese New Year in the courtyard on New Year's Eve, and bring some dumpling stuffing over to make dumplings together.

Mrs. Zhang said: "I thought you guys had a fight! Hey, I don't know if my grandson was wronged in it."

Qin Huairu also missed Bang Geng very much, and persuaded with force: "It's only a year and a half, bear it and it will pass soon."

Thinking about Jia Zhang being at home all day, Qin Huairu asked:
"Mom, you didn't go to find Yi Weidong, did you?"

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "I also know it's useless to search for it. The police have sentenced me to it. If I didn't, I wouldn't give it up!"

After so much time, Mrs. Zhang also looked away, knowing that if the money would come back, she would not hand over the money to anyone else, would she give it to Yi Weidong if she asked for it?

Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief. After Jia Zhang came back and passed her two tests, the biggest problem was the matter of her mother-in-law and Yi Weidong. If Jia Zhang continued to pester Yi Weidong to ask for money, what would happen to Yi Weidong? Maybe hand over the money!At that time, I don't know how much right and wrong will be caused.

Qin Huairu persuaded: "Mom, don't bring up the money thing again, just live a good life at home, just pretend to be mentally ill sooner or later, I will be filial to you, let's live our little life well Three children were raised."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Yes, I won't mention it again in the future, let's live a good life!"

Qin Huairu was very happy to see that her mother-in-law was really able to let go. Anyway, it is useless to think about the money if it is not coming. I can still let Xiaodang and Huaihua eat Yi Weidong's meal, asking for money Buying clothes and paying tuition, since I paid them this year, these two little girls will ask Yi Weidong for all their money in the future. They can spend 30 to [-] yuan all year round, and there will always be a time when it will be paid back.

Isn't this equivalent to Qin Huairu asking for money from her mother-in-law!
Anyway, it was my mother-in-law's private money that was cheated, not my own, and I earned it back if I could get it back.

Qin Huairu happily started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

At this time, every household is busy, preparing for the most important meal of the year. Yi Weidong wants to help, but with Lou Xiaoe and He Yushui helping, there is not much work that Yi Weidong can do that's it.

He Yushui asked, "Weidong, are those children still in your room?"

Today, Yi Weidong's house has been filled with children playing, and when they are tired from running out to play, they come here to have a rest. They regard Yi Weidong's house as a base, and Yi Weidong can only let them go.

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Yes, everyone likes to play in my room."

He Yushui said, "Weidong, shall we watch the New Year's Eve together at night?"

There was no TV at this time, and He Yushui had been thinking about watching the New Year for several years, but each time he was sleepy early and fell asleep. This year, with Yi Weidong by his side, he might be able to survive past twelve o'clock.

Yi Weidong smiled and said: "It's fine, just take the bedding to my room after dinner, and I'll watch the New Year with you."

When Lou Xiaoe heard that the two siblings were going to watch the new year, she said happily: "Then I will accompany you to watch the new year too, okay?"

He Yushui smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, we don't want you to accompany me! You can watch the New Year with my brother!"

Lou Xiao'e blushed slightly, and said, "I won't accompany your brother, I will accompany the old lady to watch the New Year's Eve together today."

After chatting for a while, they prepared all the dishes and took them to the kitchen for He Yuzhu to stir fry them. After four frying and four cooking, plus a pot of dumplings, this was Yi Weidong's first year's New Year's Eve dinner.

Having had a lively New Year's Eve dinner, Yi Weidong had tidied up the house one step ahead of time, and brought out some snacks. He Yushui carried the bedding into Yi Weidong's room, and seeing that Yi Weidong was ready, he said with satisfaction :

"Yes, he looks like a younger brother."

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e sent the old lady back to the backyard together. After the old lady lay down, she said, "Ezi, I'm fine. You can go and watch the new year with Zhuzi."

Lou Xiao'e blushed and said, "Old lady, even you say that about me."

"Today is New Year's Eve. If you watch the New Year's Eve together, no one will say anything."

Although Lou Xiao'e has been resting in He Yuzhu's house for several days, it was all done secretly, and no one has ever said that to her face!

With a thick skin, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said, "The old lady has spoken, so let's go back and watch the new year together!"

Turning back to the old lady, she said, "Old lady, let's go first."

After speaking, he pulled Lou Xiao'e, who was still shy, out of the room.

Lou Xiaoe said shyly, "Silly Zhu, let go first."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You can't regret it even if I let go."

"No regrets."

He Yuzhu let go, and the two walked side by side to the front yard. Fortunately, they didn't meet anyone along the way, and they arrived at He Yuzhu's room smoothly.

Before Lou Xiao'e could adapt to the darkness in front of her, He Yuzhu immediately hugged her, and then she spent the night with He Yuzhu through the stormy night.

He Yushui was accompanied by Yi Weidong today and finally stayed up until midnight, but no one set off firecrackers in this quiet night, so I, Yi Weidong, should be the first to set this rule!

Yi Weidong tidied up and picked up a bunch of firecrackers and was about to go out. He Yushui asked curiously:
"Weidong, what are you doing with firecrackers in the bathroom?"

Yi Weidong said angrily: "It's New Years after twelve o'clock, I'm going to set off a plate of firecrackers to celebrate."

He Yushui thought about it, hadn't heard of this rule during Chinese New Year, isn't it always a plate of firecrackers before eating?When will the cannon be fired after midnight?

But it would be quite meaningful to fire the cannon at this time. He Yushui, who was a little sleepy, regained his spirit and said:

"Okay, I'll take a plate too, let's order the first firecracker of the new year together."

"Okay, let's fire the cannons together."

He Yushui came out of the courtyard together with firecrackers, walked a little farther, and placed the firecrackers on the snowdrift by the side of the road. He Yushui said: "I called one, two, three, let's light it together."

"it is good."

He Yushui was ready and shouted: "One, two, three."

The two lit the firecrackers with incense almost at the same time, and after running a few steps away, the sound of crackling firecrackers pierced the silent New Year's Eve.

It seemed that someone was awakened and made some noises. He Yushui and Yi Weidong looked at each other and laughed.

Not long after, the sound of firecrackers was also heard from a distance. The sound of the firecrackers seemed to be contagious, and they rang out one after another.

He Yushui and Yi Weidong did accomplish an achievement, being the first to set off firecrackers at midnight on New Year's Eve.

The two of them stayed up all night and woke up when it was already dawn in the morning. They were chatting quietly, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and Huai Hua quickly ran in and shouted: "Uncle Wei Dong, Uncle Wei Dong, let's go!" Going to ask for lucky money."

After coming in, seeing He Yushui and Yi Weidong lying on the bed, neither of them got up yet, Huai Hua frowned and said:

"Uncle Weidong, I really don't know how to be ashamed. I let Aunt Yushui sleep in my arms at such a big man."

He Yushui blushed slightly, stood up and said, "Little Sophora japonica is here. Auntie will get up and get you the lucky money."

Yi Weidong stretched out his head and said to Huai Hua: "Hua Hua, uncle and aunt are two blankets, okay, how could uncle let aunt sleep with his arms around him!"

Sophora stretched out her head to see that there were indeed two quilts, and said, "Then Uncle Wei Dong, get up quickly, let's kowtow together to earn New Year's money."

He Yushui had already put on his padded jacket, turned his head and said with a smile, "Yes, Weidong, hurry up and kowtow to me, I will give you the lucky money."

Seeing He Yushui's playful smile, Yi Weidong stretched out his hand to scratch the itchy flesh under his ribs, and said, "Sister, do you still want me to kowtow?"

He Yushui was suddenly attacked by Yi Weidong, and he lay on one side giggling non-stop, begging for mercy while laughing:

"Okay, sister Weidong has surrendered."

Only then did Yi Weidong put his hands away and began to put on his clothes. It doesn’t matter if they all have underwear. Many families don’t have enough coal to burn. Several people are crowded in one room to burn a stove, and several people are crowded in one bed. got used to.

Yi Weidong put it on in two or three times, got down and put on his shoes, He Yushui stopped laughing, seeing that Yi Weidong had already gone down, and said coquettishly: "Weidong, you wait for me, what is this move every day?" hero?"

Yi Weidong didn't have itchy meat, every time the two of them fought on the bed, it was He Yushui's disadvantage, and he was so out of breath that he had no choice but to surrender.

Yi Weidong said: "Don't worry about how many tricks I know, as long as I can do it well."

Turning back to Huaihua, "Why didn't your miss come here with you?"

Huaihua smiled and said: "My sister is slow to eat, so I came to see you. You and my sister will kowtow together to earn lucky money, okay?"

As he spoke, he looked at Yi Weidong with hope.

He Yushui smiled and said: "Weidong, it's fine if you don't kowtow to me, you can kowtow to the three uncles' homes, and you can earn some lucky money to come back."

Yi Weidong said: "Sister, don't make trouble, I won't go!"

Yi Weidong didn't want to earn this lucky money!At this time, it is usually only a few cents, and it is only given to children with a good relationship. How could Yi Weidong take a fancy to this one or two cents!

Yi Weidong said to Huaihua: "Huahuai, I won't go. When Xiaodang comes over, I will give you the lucky money."

Huai Hua said disappointedly: "Uncle Wei Dong, don't you want to earn lucky money?"

"I won't go, I'm an adult and can get paid."

Xiao Dang entered the room at this time and said, "Uncle Wei Dong, aren't you also in the sixth grade?"

That's right, Yi Weidong is still in the sixth grade, so Xiaodang and Huaihua came here to earn lucky money with Yi Weidong.

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Alright, kowtow to Aunt Yushui, and I'll give you [-] cents each."

The two were overjoyed, and went forward to kowtow to He Yushui side by side. After getting up, Yi Weidong took out four brand new [-] cents and gave each of them two, saying, "You don't need to kowtow to me, this is me and you Yushui. New year's money given by my aunt."

Yi Weidong knew that if he gave two more little girls, he would hand them over to Qin Huairu at night, and it would be useless to give too much, and Qin Huairu would not like Yi Weidong, so he might as well treat the two little girls better than usual Woolen cloth!

Xiao Dang took the twenty cents with the train printed on it, and said with a smile, "Thank you Aunt Yushui, thank you Uncle Weidong."

Xiaohuaihua also thanked her in a milky voice.

After the two little girls went out, He Yushui also got dressed and said, "Weidong, you really don't want to earn lucky money?"

Yi Weidong rolled his eyes at He Yushui and said, "Sister, do I need that few cents to buy candies?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "It's true, you don't need the few cents, but you still have to kowtow to the old man later."

There is no way for Yi Weidong to hide from the uncle, so he can knock it, who made himself only fourteen, usually people who are not adults have lucky money, Yi Weidong still needs to knock it for several years!

The two cleaned themselves up and came to the uncle's house together. The uncle had already prepared a red envelope, and when he saw Yi Weidong came in, he said, "Weidong, you are too old, if you don't want to kowtow, forget it. You take the red envelope."

Considering that Yi Weidong didn't grow up in a quadrangle after all, the uncle didn't want to lose face and didn't want to kowtow to the uncle, so he prepared a red envelope.

Yi Weidong is not so hypocritical, he is 14 years old, he is also an elder, how can he not knock his head.

It happened that the deaf old lady was there too, and it was all done once, Yi Weidong smiled and said:
"Old lady, grandpa and aunt, red envelopes don't matter. I should kowtow to you during the Chinese New Year."

Yi Weidong walked up to him and knelt down, kowtowed his head and said, "I wish the old lady, uncle and aunt a long and healthy life, good health and delicious food."

Yi Weidong's novel words of blessing amused them all, and after receiving the red envelope from the uncle, Yi Weidong thanked him before standing up.

He Yushui smiled and said, "Weidong, who did you learn the word from?"

"Am I not good? It's a blessing to be in good health and eat."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and get me some food."

He Yushui was still thinking about the revenge in the morning, when he could order Yi Weidong, he would never let go of a chance, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so Yi Weidong didn't care about it.

The old ladies and aunts have eaten, and now He Yushui and Yi Weidong are eating together.

Yi Weidong waited on He Yushui for dinner, and finally He Yushui took out a dime and stuffed it into Yi Weidong's pocket and said:
"This is the New Year's money that my sister gave you, so you don't have to kowtow to me."

Yi Weidong took it out and saw that it was only a dime: "It's really stingy."

Yi Weidong went back to his room after breakfast, and soon Yan Jiedi jumped in, Yi Weidong smiled and said:

"Xie Di, come here and kowtow to me, brother will give you lucky money."
