Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Sister Huairu, don't be angry, it's better for Taohua to follow Li Weidong than to follow other men."

Qin Jingru pulled Qin Huairu aside to persuade him: "Brother Wei Dong is not that kind of heartless man, even if he can't give Taohua a title, he will not treat Taohua badly."

"Taohua is a rural girl. Although she looks good and looks pretty, you also know that girls who marry in the city from the countryside can't get their food, and even their children have become rural household registration."

"Some of the girls in the commune also married into the city. Look, what kind of family do they marry? Either they are too poor to get rid of the pot, or they are missing arms and legs."

"Even if you marry into the city, you still have to be ridiculed by your parents-in-law. Why don't you follow Brother Weidong!"

Rather than explaining to Jia Taohua, Qin Jingru might as well be analyzing herself.

Since Qin Jingru followed Li Weidong, sometimes she felt sad because she had no status and couldn't be with Li Weidong in an open and aboveboard manner.

But thinking about what happened to other girls, she was relieved.

As a rural girl, she doesn't have to work with her face to the loess and her back to the sky, and she doesn't have to serve her in-laws. Now she has become an assistant in a poverty alleviation workshop, and she will be able to obtain an urban household registration soon. Her monthly salary is as high as 45 yuan.

How could Qin Jingru spend so much money by herself? She would go home every month to buy some good things in the city, such as snacks from Daoxiang Village, fine white noodles, clothes, etc. to send back.

Last month, she used the money she saved to buy a radio for her father, and Qin Jingru's family became the first family in Qinjiagou to own a radio.

The life of his family is better than that of the secretary of the commune.

Qin Jingru is very clear about this, and it is all due to Li Weidong.

Qin Huairu was also aware of this, but felt sorry for Jia Taohua.

"Taohua, you have to make up your own mind about this matter."

"Sister, I like Brother Weidong, even if I don't have a title, I still want to be with Brother Weidong."

Seeing Jia Taohua's firm attitude, Qin Huairu didn't say anything more.

At this time, it was past eight o'clock in the evening, and Qin Huairu was about to go back to sleep when Jia Taohua stopped her.

"Sister, there is something I am a little embarrassed to tell you."

"Silly girl, I'm your sister and you are my sister. There's nothing else we can't talk about."

Jia Taohua bit her lip and whispered, "Brother Weidong arranged for me to go to high school. I want to go to college in the future. Maybe I don't have time to take care of Aunt Jia."

At this moment, the three of them remembered that Mrs. Jia Zhang was still lying beside her.

Qin Huairu turned her head and saw that Jia Zhang's face was ashen, with white foam emerging from the corner of her mouth, and quickly took out a chopstick from the kitchen and stuffed it into her mouth.

Prevent Jia Zhang from biting his tongue, and then let Qin Jingru go to the community doctor.

Dr. Zhang from the community learned that Mrs. Jia was foaming at the mouth, and had already gone back to rest. He rode a bicycle and carried a medical kit to the courtyard.

"The doctor is here, hurry up and see what's wrong with my in-laws?"

Dr. Zhang took out his stethoscope and examined Jia Zhang for a while, then opened Jia Zhang's eyes, and finally helped Jia Zhang feel his pulse.

Said in a deep voice, "Your parents-in-law just suffered from a stroke."

A trace of suspicion appeared on his face: "It shouldn't be, I just checked your in-laws for you two days ago, and her illness has improved greatly, and there is a possibility of recovery soon."

"Did you get another stimulus?"

Thinking of what happened just now, Qin Huairu looked a little weird: "Doctor Zhang, it's not like you don't know that Mrs. Jia Zhang has been lying in the house since she had a stroke. I even hired someone to take care of her. How could she be hurt?" Exciting."

In the past, the Jiazhang family abused Qin Huairu like that. If it were a daughter-in-law from another family, she would definitely take the opportunity to retaliate.

But Qin Huairu treated Jia and Zhang family like his own mother. Qin Huairu's reputation of filial piety has now spread throughout the entire neighborhood, attracting praise from the residents.

"It may be that the disease has recurred. As you know, this disease is like this, and it often recurs. Fortunately, the disease is under control now. I will prescribe some medicine for Jia Zhang. As long as he takes it on time, his life will not be in danger. .”

Doctor Zhang nodded, stood up and helped to prescribe the medicine.

It was getting late, Qin Huairu still asked Qin Jingru to go to the hospital in the dark to buy medicine, and poured boiled water on Jia Zhangshi.

Looking at Jia Zhang who was lying motionless on the bed, Qin Huairu was a little worried.

With Jia Zhang like this, it is obvious that there is no way to leave people, but now that Jia Taohua is going to study, who will take care of Jia Zhang?
After thinking about it, Qin Huairu thought of the three mothers.

If you want to say who is living the most miserable life in the courtyard now, it must be Yan Bugui's family.

It stands to reason that Yan Bugui is an old teacher with a monthly salary of tens of dollars, and Yan Jiecheng also has a salary. The family should live a good life.

but.

Ever since Chen Yuanyuan got pregnant, she has been clamoring to eat meat, and she eats it every day.

Meat is very expensive these days. The market price is one seventy-five cents, and a meat ticket is needed, but meat is often not available in the market, so you can only buy it at the pigeon market.

In the pigeon market, the price of meat is also rising. At the beginning of the year, it was only [-] yuan a catty, but now it has risen to nearly [-] yuan a catty.

Chen Yuanyuan had to eat a catty of meat every day, and Yan's family spent four yuan.

After a month, the salaries of Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng were not enough at all. Fortunately, Yan Bugui had some savings before, which was barely enough to support him.

The third mother has already started to pick up waste with Yan Bugui. If she is given some money to take care of Jia Zhang, she will definitely agree.

After thinking clearly, Qin Huairu came to Yan's house overnight.

At this time, a war broke out in Yan's house.

Chen Yuanyuan stood in front of the table, looked at the meat on the plate, and said angrily, "Yan Pugui, what did you do? Why are these meats all from the neck of pigs?"

The meat on the neck of the pig, also known as blood neck, trough head meat, etc., contains a large number of mandibular lymph nodes and retropharyngeal lymph nodes, and almost no one buys it, so the price is cheaper than ordinary meat.

Yan Bugui lowered his head in embarrassment: "Yuanyuan, you have only been wronged for two days. After two days, I will pay you and I will definitely buy you fresh meat."

Snapped!
As soon as the words were finished, Chen Yuanyuan swept the plate to the ground, spilling the fried meat soup all over the floor, and the greasy fried meat rolled on the ground, covered with dust.

This broke Yan Bugui's heart.

Although these pork necks are cheap, they cost one yuan and five catties. He bought them with the money in his passbook.

"Oh, Yuanyuan, what are you doing!" Yan Pugui felt sorry for the meat, and quickly squatted down, not caring that the meat was already covered with dust, and stuffed it into his mouth after pinching it.

Chen Yuanyuan's eyes fell on Yan Bugui's face, which made Chen Yuanyuan feel sick.

Back when she was at her cousin's house, Chen Yuanyuan enjoyed delicious and spicy food every day, her meat was high-quality pork belly, and she could also eat fruits shipped from the south.

But now!
Not to mention the simple food and drink every day, even the meat has been replaced with pork neck meat. As for the fruit, it is a rotten product that cannot be sold in the supply and marketing cooperative, and it cannot be imported at all.

The more Chen Yuanyuan thought about it, the angrier she became, she slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Since you don't want to have this child, I'll go and get the child out tomorrow, and then divorce Yan Jiecheng."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Jiecheng, who wanted to defend Yan Portui just now, fell silent.

The third mother hurriedly stepped forward to hold Chen Yuanyuan's hand, and persuaded in a low voice: "Yuanyuan, don't be angry, your father is old and confused, don't worry, I will buy fresh pork for you tomorrow."

Saying this, the third mother's heart was bleeding, their family only had such a little money, could they survive until Chen Yuanyuan gave birth to a child?

Yan Jiedi was upset, since Chen Yuanyuan became pregnant, the situation of the Yan family has changed fundamentally.

In the past, Yan Jiedi was the only girl and the youngest child in the Yan family, and was always doted on by everyone in the Yan family.

Now Chen Yuanyuan has become the baby of the whole family, while Yan Jiedi has become a weed on the side of the road.

She stood up and curled her lips and said: "Really, there are many pregnant women these days, and I have never seen anyone who eats meat all day long. Take Li Weidong in our compound as an example. He is the workshop director and the leader. His The daughter-in-law is still the second uncle in the compound, she works as an officer in the street office, and she doesn't eat meat all day long."

"Yan Jiedi, what are you talking about!" Chen Yuanyuan's eyes widened.

Not to be outdone, Yan Jiedi stood up: "I'll just say you, what's the matter, look, the little money in our family is all spent on you, Yan Jiefang and I, Yan Jiekuang, can only eat boiled radishes all day long, Is your conscience okay?"

"You little girl, ever since I got married, I knew you had opinions on me."

Chen Yuanyuan was talking, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to scratch Yan Jiedi.

Yan Jiedi was not to be outdone, and the two fought together.

Yan Jiecheng wanted to go up and help, but he didn't know who to help.

If he was helping Chen Yuanyuan, Yan Jiedi was his own sister, and he watched Yan Jiedi grow up, and the relationship between the two was very good.

If you help Yan Jiedi, what if you offend Chen Yuanyuan, and Chen Yuanyuan goes to the hospital and kills the child in a fit of rage? !
At this moment, there was a crisp coughing sound from the door.

"How many are you busy?"

Qin Huairu had been standing at the door for a while, seeing Chen Yuanyuan arguing in Yan's family, he felt that it was not the right time, and originally wanted to wait a little longer, but who would have thought that Chen Yuanyuan would fight with Yan Jiedi.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to stand up.

Seeing Qin Huairu, Chen Yuanyuan's face turned pale, and she quickly let go of her hand.

Chen Yuanyuan's character is just like that kind of shrew, she is unreasonable and messy, and she has never been afraid of others.

If there was anyone afraid of Chen Yuanyuan in this compound, it was Qin Huairu.

The reason is simple, Qin Huairu grasped her handle and knew who the real father of the child in her belly was.

Yan Bugui didn't expect Qin Huairu to appear suddenly, so he quickly stood up and said awkwardly: "Well, Huairu, don't get me wrong, Chen Yuanyuan is exercising with Yan Jiedi! These days, Yan Jiedi's school teaches children to practice Kung Fu, so that Practice at home, as you know, our family is all male, only Yan Jiedi is a girl, so we can only let her practice with her sister-in-law."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she almost laughed out loud. Yan Pugui's brains are really easy to use, and he came up with such a lame reason.

But these things have nothing to do with Qin Huairu, and she doesn't want to make the Yan family look ugly.

"Really? Yuanyuan, you have a really good relationship with your sister-in-law. Now it is said that after getting married, it is difficult for sisters-in-law to get along with each other. Now it seems that it is all rumors."

Chen Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly: "Yes, Yan Jiedi is a good boy, I like her very much."

She changed the subject, smiled and said, "Sister Huairu, it's so late, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui also remembered, and interjected: "I just saw the doctor in the community go to your house, is something wrong with your house, is it serious, do you need help?"

"Oh, I came here so late today because of this matter." Qin Huairu sighed and told about Jia Zhang's situation.

"Tell me, I've tried my best to serve Mrs. Jia Zhang. How can her condition repeat itself?"

"Huairu, this has nothing to do with you." The third mother smiled and said, "Ever since Jia Zhang fell ill, everyone has noticed your performance."

Although Yan Bugui looked down on Qin Huairu and felt that her style was not right, he still gave Qin Huairu a thumbs up on this matter.

"As the old saying goes, illnesses come and go like a mountain, but Jiazhang still suffered from a stroke. This kind of disease likes to recur. You don't have to blame yourself, Huairu."

Qin Huairu pretended to be worried and let out a long sigh: "I know this too. Mrs. Jia Zhang is Dong Xu's mother. Dong Xu left early. If there is another problem with Mrs. Jia Zhang, I will really have no face to see Dong Xu in the future."

"I hired a caregiver from my hometown with great difficulty. Now my hometown has something to do and I need to go back. I have to go to work. What can Jia Zhang do?"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui gradually understood Qin Huairu's intentions.

"Huairu, what do you want to come here this time?"

Qin Huairu looked at the third mom and said: "Third mom, I think about it. In our compound, you are the most suitable to take care of Mrs. Jia and Zhang. After all, you and Mrs. Jia are considered old friends. The relationship is still very good. Secondly, you don’t have a job, you are at home on weekdays, that is, you are responsible for cooking for them, and you have time to take care of Jia Zhang.”

The third mother was often bullied by Jia Zhang, so of course she didn't want to, and waved her hands again and again: "Huairu, stop talking nonsense, I don't know anything, how can I take care of others?"

"Oh, three moms, it's very easy to take care of Jia Zhang. You just need to feed her food, drink water, and take medicine on time. You can also come back to do housework at ordinary times."

Qin Huairu continued: "Of course, even though we are neighbors in the same compound, I won't let you help for nothing. I'll give you five yuan each."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Yan family had different expressions on their faces.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi showed disdain on their faces. They were unwilling to let the third mother take care of Jia Zhang.

Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng and Chen Yuanyuan were a little moved.

Five yuan a month can buy a catty of meat for Chen Yuanyuan.

Furthermore.

The third mother is in the compound and can come back anytime.

The work is not too heavy.

Yan Bugui said: "Old lady, I think Huairu is very sincere. Mrs. Jia and Zhang are also our old neighbors for many years. They used to have a good relationship. Now that we encounter difficulties, you can help."

Chen Yuanyuan also agrees.

Seeing this situation, the third mother could only nod helplessly in agreement. (end of this chapter)
