Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1849: Qin Huairu's ridicule
Central Courtyard, Qin Family.

Qin Huairu was cooking at home with an old lady. There was a piece of pork on the chopping board. The big fat pork made Xiaodang drool at the sight of it.

The lady held Huaihua's hand with a smile on her face. Looking at Qin Huairu's busy appearance, she couldn't help but sighed, "It is said that women hold up half the sky. I didn't think so before, but now I see it with my own eyes!"

"Huai Ru, what you did is much better than the pillars!"

Qin Huairu gathered the hair by her ears and a smile appeared on her face.

During this period, the income from the secret recipe has greatly improved the family environment.

You can't eat meat every meal, but you can improve your diet at any time.

Especially as word of mouth spreads, those men who have used it cannot lose face even if it doesn't work out, and they have to pretend to be able to do it.

So various local specialties were delivered to Qin Huairu.

The occasional pregnancies further reinforced the reliability of Qin Huairu's secret recipe, making the business bigger and bigger.

Of course, this is not business on the surface, but helping each other.

According to Qin Huairu, her behavior was like that of a matchmaker.

They help men and women get married, while she helps others complete revolutionary construction tasks, increase population and achieve revolutionary success.

What the other party gives is just a thank you and a gift. There is no interest relationship between the two parties.

This is the same as a matchmaker collecting wedding candies or something.

Life got better and Qin Huairu was in a good mood.

I couldn't help feeling elated when I heard the praise from an old lady.

Just as an old lady said, who says women are inferior to men? Qin Huairu is no worse than men!

Even without Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai, and Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu can still support the family.

And it's better than when these people were here.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu felt that she was very capable, but at the same time she looked down on Yang Xiaotao.

It is obviously a good idea, a golden idea, a recipe that can make a lot of money, but you have to tell others about it as if it is garbage. You don't know how to cherish the opportunity at all.

If I had told her earlier, my family would have become rich with this trick.

There was no need to be so tight-fisted for so many years, which made me lose a lot of weight and fall far behind Ran Qiuye in development.

But in my heart I began to admire Yang Xiaotao.

This girl is really capable. Any idea of ​​hers can make her rich. She can really turn stone into gold.

How many good things does this guy have in his head!
It’s a pity that he found a wife who is incompetent.

Then he began to despise Ran Qiuye.

My man is so capable, but he has a mountain of gold but she doesn't know how to cherish it. He becomes a teacher and runs to the village all day long. If you don't know, you would think there is a wild man in the village.

Look at what I have gained during this period of time, including food, daily necessities, and money. Can being a teacher earn more than I do?
Could she, Ran Qiuye, have such means?
You'd be a fool to do that.

Also, medicinal wine is such a good thing, but you don’t know how to take good care of it and instead give it away. You are so short-sighted and a spendthrift woman!

After looking down on Ran Qiuye, Qin Huairu took a deep breath and put herself into the role of Ran Qiuye.

If she followed Yang Xiaotao, she would definitely be a good wife.

It can help in all aspects, and can also turn Yang Xiaotao's good ideas into practical benefits.

At that time, she was the most popular person in the whole yard.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel hot inside.

She wants to make this business bigger and stronger, and have people within a hundred miles around her praise her for her good deeds.

At that time, she would tell Ran Qiuye that she had missed the opportunity and it had become her cash cow, making her regret it to death.

Tell her that being able to be with Yang Xiaotao is just her luck, but it doesn’t mean that she, Qin Huairu, is bad!

Thinking of Ran Qiuye's frustrated look and Yang Xiaotao's regretful scene, I felt relieved.

Smiling with her head down, enjoying the praise from the aunt and her daughter's laughter, Qin Huairu felt as if she had taken a bath and felt comfortable all over.

Use a kitchen knife to pick up the fat on the chopping board and then throw it into the dried iron pot.

Tsk
The fat slices made a loud sound when they touched the hot iron pan, which sounded so wonderful to the ears of several people.

As the fat shrank rapidly due to being burned and then changed color, the room was filled with the aroma of meat.

"It's time to eat meat, it's time to eat meat!"

Xiaodang and Huaihua jumped and shouted loudly, completely ignoring the hot weather. Their chubby little faces were covered with sweat.

"We'll eat it later, let's press the oil first!"

An aunt stopped the two children and said with a smile, "Xiaodang, take your sister to the yard to cool down. I'll call you for dinner later."

Xiaodang smiled and ran out pulling Huaihua.

Since Banggeng was gone, she felt that life was better than before.

At least she got more of the meat at home.

In the room, Qin Huairu smiled and used a shovel to stir the frying pan, trying to fry out more oil.

The aunt looked outside and said, "Huai Ru!"

"There's something you need to prepare for!"

Qin Huairu fished out the oil residue and put it aside to cool, then looked at the aunt.

Usually when Qin Huairu goes away to "help" others, an auntie will help take care of the children at home, and also take good care of the medicinal wine.

Sometimes I have to help prepare medicinal wine.

It can be said that Qin Huairu was able to walk around the streets thanks to the support of an old lady behind her.

"Auntie, just say it."

The lady nodded and said, "To buy this medicinal wine, you need not only the medicine, but also the wine!"

Qin Huairu nodded, "I know, but you can soak more of these herbs!"

The lady nodded, but then shook her head. "It's better here for medicinal materials. We ordinary people are bound to have headaches and fevers. If we want to buy some, we can buy them."

"The herbs can be soaked for a while longer, but this wine..."

"You know, we have to use industrial coupons to buy alcohol, but where can we get them now?"

Speaking of this, the aunt is also helpless.

When my husband worked at the machinery factory, he would bring home a lot of tickets every month, and later he also brought home a lot of industrial coupons.

But after leaving the machinery factory, the income plummeted. Now I rely on the monthly supply of food and the tickets from the copies, but that's not much.

If you want to make medicinal wine, this is not enough.

Qin Huairu nodded, then looked at the aunt, "I've thought about this a long time ago, I think we can add some water to it!"

"It's already soaked anyway. The ingredients are already there. It's just like millet porridge. Just add some water and it will be thinner, but it's still the same rice!"

Qin Huairu looked serious. The aunt didn't know what to say, thinking that this was fake.

Medicinal wine, medicinal wine, isn’t it just medicine and wine.

This wine is mixed with water, so it is fake wine.

Isn’t this medicinal wine fake?

But then I think again, even if water is added to wine, there is still wine.

Put it this way, it seems to make sense.

Yan Fugui in the front yard often uses one bottle of wine as two.

This makes sense.

Seeing that Qin Huairu knew what was going on, the aunt didn't say much, but just reminded, "This wine has to be sold eventually!"

Qin Huairu nodded, "Just deal with it for now, and when it's almost gone, I'll go buy another bottle."

The aunt nodded, there was no other way at the moment.

At dinner time, the aroma of meat wafted from the middle courtyard and the back yard.

Of course, in the backyard, Xiao Shitou looked at the bowl full of blackened braised pork and didn't know whether to pick up his chopsticks.

Yu Zecheng on the side was rubbing his shoulders. His shoulders were a little itchy because his flesh had grown fast recently. He moved them from time to time but refused to pick up the chopsticks.

On the other side, Cuiping was holding a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, her brows slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be having a fierce struggle in her heart.

"Mom and Dad, I'm done eating. I'm going out to play."

Seeing that his father ignored him and looking at the meat in the bowl, Xiao Shitou felt that his stomach was more important. He put down his chopsticks, said something, and immediately ran out.

After Xiao Shitou left, Yu Zecheng finally came to his senses and stood up. "You little bastard, get out if you don't want to eat, you bastard."

Then he turned to Cuiping and said, "I'll go get him back."

After saying this, the man walked out the door and disappeared in the backyard in the blink of an eye.

Cui Ping saw that she was the only one left at the table. Her face immediately changed and she shouted to the outside, "You two are acting here."

After saying that, he threw the meat on the chopsticks into his mouth and chewed it hard.

But the next second, without waiting to swallow it, Cuiping spit it out on the ground.

My mouth was filled with the smell of smoke, the smell of burnt sugar, and the smell of water used to wash the pot.

blah blah blah

After vomiting for a while, she looked at the bowl of rice on the table and said, "I've eaten, so you have to eat too."

After saying that, he stood up, took the meat and walked out of the room.

The house next door.

Qin Jingru held a steamed bun in her hand and moved her nose. There was a special smell of meat in the air.

But she just sniffed it, and it was impossible for her to go out and eat it.

In this courtyard, she felt like a chicken kept in captivity by the Xu family. In order to get food every day, she dared not go out.

Only when Xu Damao comes out can he gain his freedom.

In days like this, she used to have the help of that frivolous guy Sha Zhu, but now, this guy has been exiled to the countryside and is said to have divorced Qin Huairu. It seems that he has no intention of coming back in this life.

In this case, she could no longer count on anyone and could only rely on the Xu family's support to survive.

Ugh!
If I had chosen Shazhu in the first place, this wouldn't be the situation now.

Damn Xu Damao, when will he come back?

"Aunt, aunt."

Just when Qin Jingru was cursing Xu Damao as a bastard, Xiaodang led Huaihua over and shouted loudly.

The two had few friends in the yard and even fewer playmates.

So I usually went to the backyard to play with Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru was lonely when she was alone, but having two children to accompany her helped her relieve her boredom.

"Xiaodang, Sophora japonica."

"Have you eaten yet? Auntie has some steamed bread here."

Qin Jingru picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Xiaodang.

"No, my mother is cooking meat at home."

Huaihua spoke, her little face full of longing.

Hearing this, Qin Jingru's hand stopped in mid-air. The steamed cornbread in her hand seemed to have a thousand pounds of weight and she couldn't hold it anymore and it fell to the ground.

Xiaodang quickly picked it up, blew on it but didn't eat it, and put it on the table.

Qin Jingru's eyes were dull, and the image of braised pork was all she could think of in her mind.

After waiting for a while, Qin Jingru came back to her senses, and then looked at Xiaodang and Huaihua, "How did your mother have the money to buy meat?"

Xiaodang shook her head, and Qin Huairu warned her not to go out and talk nonsense.

But Huaihua was still young, and Qin Jingru was her aunt, so she subconsciously said, "Mom went to my grandma's house to get it."

As for the specific reasons, Huaihua, a four-year-old child, had no idea.

"Grandma's house?"

Qin Jingru murmured.

My grandma’s home is Qinjia Village.

Because she ran away secretly, her relationship with her family has been very strained, and she hasn't asked about village affairs for a long time.

I think the food at my cousin’s house has improved a lot recently. They almost couldn’t get any rice before, but now they can even eat meat?

The days have changed so quickly.

Qin Jingru felt uncomfortable thinking that everyone else was eating meat while she was still eating steamed buns.

She had been suppressed in every way by her cousin in the village. After finally moving to the city, they were on par with each other. Now the gap between them was widening again. How could she be willing to accept this?

She knew the situation of her second uncle's family, which was not much better than theirs.

In fact, because my cousin is the only male in the family, he doesn't do as well as my own family members at work.

Besides, that sister-in-law is not an easy person to get along with. How could she give Qin Huairu so many things?
So, there must be something wrong here.

Maybe this cousin of mine has found a new partner.

"No, I have to go back to the village tomorrow to ask what's going on."

　Chapter 1847 was cut a lot for some reason. A Tao didn't dare to change it anymore, so it had to be like this.

　　Please forgive me, guys.
