Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1960: One table of food, three tables of people

While Sha Zhu was greeting Yi Zhonghai with a smile, he walked forward to take the fish off the bicycle. At this time, two children ran out of the house.

When he saw Sha Zhu, he immediately ran over and called "Sha Dad, Sha Dad", which made Sha Zhu very happy.

"Xiaodang, Huaihua, silly daddy brought you some delicious food."

Sha Zhu picked up the pork and smiled and kissed the two children, completely unaware that the woman next to him had changed her expression.

At the door of the Qin family, Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, and the look she gave Sha Zhu had a little more of the old feeling.

So what if he’s married, Sha Zhu is still the warm-hearted and kind-hearted Sha Zhu!

Similarly, Yi Zhonghai felt relieved when he saw Sha Zhu's look.

I feel that all my hard work and teaching over the years have not been in vain.

The happiest person was the aunt. What she liked most was a harmonious family, and what she feared most was quarrels!

Seeing Sha Zhu like this, I put my worries to rest.

"Come on, come in, come in!"

"Let's go inside and talk!"

Yi Zhonghai invited Sha Zhu to come in, and at the same time stayed on Shen Cuihua for a moment, then said, "I just asked your aunt when to go see you, because I was worried that you were being wronged in the village. Now you seem to be doing well, and you have grown stronger~"

"Zhuzi's wife, if Zhuzi does anything wrong in the future, you have to bear more of the consequences..."

As Yi Zhonghai said this, he winked at the aunt and looked at Qin Huairu.

The aunt realized that she couldn't ignore Qin Huairu at this time, after all, Sha Zhu had to go back.

The aunt also came forward to greet Shen Cuihua, and at the same time shouted to Qin Huairu who was not far away, "Huairu, come over too. It's a big holiday, let's have dinner together as a family!"

After hearing what the aunt said, people around her immediately became interested.

Even Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye were standing together, looking very curious.

I’m curious about how Shazhu handles his relationship with his ex and current boyfriend.

Maybe this will be a big drama!

Hearing what the aunt said, Qin Jingru was about to speak, but suddenly heard Qin Huairu shout, "Auntie, we won't go over!"

"Just eat as a family!"

"Xiaodang, Huaihua, go home!"

Qin Huairu said this seriously with her chin lowered, her expression very resolute.

The two daughters who were beside Sha Zhu stopped immediately.

Then he looked back at Qin Huairu, then looked back at the fish and meat in Sha Zhu's hands, hesitating in his heart, with desire on his little face.

Sha Zhu stopped, Shen Cuihua also stopped and looked back at Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai even sighed at the side.

When Sha Zhu heard the sigh, he felt even more heavy-hearted.

Turning to look at Qin Huairu, he felt as if he had eaten bitter gourd.

The auntie felt upset after hearing this and said to Shazhu, "Me and Huairu, ah!"

"I was confined to the courtyard by the subdistrict office and couldn't go out."

"I can't take care of Jingru's affairs during this period of time, ah~"

As she spoke, the aunt felt sad and tears fell uncontrollably.

On the opposite side, Qin Jingru opened her mouth, and couldn't help feeling guilty when she thought about how she had sold out Qin Huairu.

Moreover, she also understood why Qin Huairu didn't go to see her.

He glanced at Qin Huairu and felt a little sorry.

At this time, hearing what the aunt said, Qin Huairu put on a stubborn face and let her tears fall without any sign of weakness.

She doesn't want to pretend to be pitiful, as that will only make people look down on her.

Especially in this courtyard, in front of Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye.

Seeing Qin Huairu's stubborn look, Sha Zhu's heart was in a mess!
"What are you two still doing there? Come back!"

Qin Huairu scolded again, her voice even harsher.

Sha Zhu stopped the two children and looked at the uncomfortable Qin Huairu. After a long while, he said, "Qin, Sister Qin, it's a big holiday, let's get together!"

"Besides, Xiao Dang Huaihua is the same as Xiao Shiliu in my heart. If she calls me dad, she is my child."

"They are all my children, I love them all the same!"

Sha Zhu spoke seriously and with a sincere expression.

In an instant, the entire courtyard was silent.

Even those who were just watching the fun didn't expect Sha Zhu to say something like this.

Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye looked at each other and then smiled.

The other people in the yard had the same expression after hearing what Sha Zhu said.

Sha Zhu, he is still the confused Sha Zhu.

"Yes, Huairu, let's go inside and talk!"

Seeing that the effect had been achieved and Sha Zhu had also made his attitude clear, Yi Zhonghai stood up to smooth things over and at the same time blocked Shen Cuihua's words.

Qin Huairu glanced at Shazhu, then took advantage of the situation and walked towards the aunt's house under Qin Jingru's excuse.

Soon, everyone entered the old man's house. Sha Zhu looked at several women sitting together and didn't know what to say for a moment.

When everyone saw that Sha Zhu and his group had entered the house and there was nothing more to watch, they all went about their own business.

Yang Xiaotao was chatting with Wang Dashan and others in the yard. The old Taoist in the backyard should have spent the night at the steel factory. He was not seen this morning. Yu Zecheng and his family were not there either, so they thought of getting together tomorrow.

Anyway, the moon is fullest on the 16th.

It’s not too late tomorrow!
I went back to the house and prepared to pack up and go to Ran’s house for dinner.

We will go back to Yangjiazhuang in the afternoon and celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival in the village tonight.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye rode their bicycles towards Ran's house.

There were gifts hanging on the car, including moon cakes from the machinery factory, prepared eggs and meat, vegetables, and so on.

The family was walking happily, and they didn't care about what happened in Yi Zhonghai's house.

forecourt.

Yan Fugui sat at the door of his house, looking a little unnatural.

The old lady next to her was holding a needle in her hand and poking the insole bit by bit, cursing all the time.

"This damn idiot, I knew he had bad intentions from the beginning."

The third aunt said angrily that their family had set up two tables in the yard on the pretext of Yan Jiefang's marriage, and also wanted to find a blind date for Yan Jiecheng.

And the woman on the blind date was Shen Cuihua.

At that time, Yan Jiecheng was divorced and had no proper job. In this old city, which girl would be attracted to such a man?
So the old couple asked someone to go to the countryside to look for Yan Jiecheng, hoping that he would get married and start a career as soon as possible.

As a man, once he has a family and children, he will know that life is not easy and he will know how to earn money to support the family.

But unexpectedly, the good day was ruined by Sha Zhu.

Not only did he beat Yan Jiecheng up, but he also wasted the food.

In fact, the old couple hated Sha Zhu. And this time, Sha Zhu married Shen Cuihua, brought her back to the courtyard, and got her pregnant. Seeing that she was going to be a father, they were even more angry.

"Old man, please say something!"

Seeing that Yan Fugui didn't say anything, the third aunt was so anxious that she put down her needle and thread and came to his side.

Yan Fugui glanced at the door and happened to see Yang Xiaotao and his family leaving. He then laughed and said, "Look, they don't even want to join in the fun, and you're still thinking about sticking to stinky dog ​​shit. Aren't you afraid of being disgusting?"

When the three aunts saw Yang Xiaotao and others leaving the courtyard, they were envious of the things hanging on the car.

Hearing Yan Fugui say this, he immediately came back to his senses and asked, "Old man, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Haha!"

Yan Fugui's eyes once again flashed with his unique shrewdness, and he saw through all the calculations.

"Why did this silly Zhu and his wife come back? Just to see Lao Yi for the holidays?"

"Haha, you think too well. Maybe Sha Zhu has this idea, but Shen Cuihua is not a pushover."

"When I was looking for someone for the boss, I knew this woman was a powerful figure. It would be a good idea to let her take care of the boss."

"pity…"

Seeing that Yan Fugui had digressed, the third aunt hurriedly asked, "What exactly does that mean?"

"Humph!"

"This Shen Cuihua might have come back just for the old Yi family's house!"

"house?"

The third aunt exclaimed, then her expression became complicated, and finally she nodded solemnly.

"Don't tell me, it's true!"

Seeing that the third aunt had figured it out, Yan Fugui didn't say much, but just sneered.

"Shen Cuihua has good intentions, but Qin Huairu is not a pushover either."

"Old Yi, he prepared a table of food, but only three tables of people showed up. He must be in trouble!"

Yan Fugui sneered and had no intention of getting involved.

Although his family has many children, the eldest became a son-in-law and the second went to the northwest, so there are two young ones left in the family, which is quite well off.

At least there is no shortage of houses.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai really felt uncomfortable.

In the room, there was Sha Zhuxin's family, his ex-wife Qin Huairu's family, and Qin Jingru.

The three families sat together, not only did they not agree with each other, but there was also some hostility between them.

Shazhu was also feeling very tired at this time. He felt uncomfortable staying in the house, so he ran to the kitchen to take over the work of an old lady and prepare to cook.

But when he saw the noodles in the jar and the vegetables in the cupboard, Shazhu was dumbfounded again.

Really, there is nothing.

What should he do?
For a moment, Sha Zhu looked at the fish and pig's feet on the stove, feeling mixed emotions.

Ran family.

Yang Xiaotao brought his family to the slum and immediately saw Ran Xinrui and Ran Hongbing. The two of them came running over, jumping and calling "big sister" and "brother-in-law", and it was very lively.

When Yang Xiaotao entered the room, he saw Ran's mother busying herself, but he didn't see Ran's father.

"Where's Dad? We came back together last night!"

Yang Xiaotao asked, and then regretted it.

Because Ran's mother didn't know that Ran's father had returned.

It's broken, I've said too much.

"Your dad is back?"

Ran's mother put down the kitchen knife and asked seriously.

"Ah, this, um, came back with me!"

"I went home last night. Dad might be busy with something!"

Yang Xiaotao decisively confessed the truth and dared not hide it.

At the same time, I couldn't help but pray for Ran's father, hoping he would come back today, otherwise...

Ran Qiuye, who was standing by, heard the news and glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then went into the kitchen to help, and said a few good words for Ran's father.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to go to the yard to chat with his neighbors and watch the child at the same time.

Then I hoped that Father Ran would come back soon.

"Comrade Lao Ran!"

"It won't be rude for us to come here empty-handed."

Outside the slum, a car was parked not far away, and a cheerful voice came from the car.

In the co-pilot seat, Ran's father shook his head helplessly after hearing this. His leader was really adorable.

Only now that I'm at the doorstep of my home did I realize that it's not that he did it on purpose, but it's definitely true that he is thick-skinned.

"Okay, Lao Wang, do you really think I'm shameless with you?"

Qian Lao's voice came from the back seat, and then he said to the driver, "Is there a box of wine in the back?"

"Sir, yes, but that is..."

"Okay, I don't drink, take them out and take them all."

Mr. Qian said nonchalantly. Ran's father wanted to speak, but Mr. Qian waved his hand and said, "That's the way it is."

Then the three of them got out of the car and walked towards the slum.

When Mr. Ran returned to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building last night, he spent the night in the office.

When he got up in the morning, he saw Mr. Wang and Mr. Qian standing outside. This scared him and he quickly asked them into the house. Then Mr. Wang asked about the experiment.

They learned a little bit through some channels and knew the reasons why the experiment failed, and they were also prepared to continue the experiment.

But when they saw the supplies the convoy brought back, they were immediately shocked.

This is not just a little bit.

This basically ensures that 70% to 80% of the materials for the next experiment are available.

Then he asked Captain Lin of the convoy, and this time he knew what was going on.

So he came to the door of Ran's father and asked about the situation.

Father Ran did not hide it and told him what happened along the way.

By the time we finished talking, it was almost noon.

After listening to it, both of them were deeply touched.

There was also a bit more admiration in the look he gave Ran's father.

People who work diligently are worthy of respect wherever they go.

Especially a humble person like Ran's father is more likely to gain favor.

So, after some discussion, they decided to come to Ran's house for a free meal.

Of course, they also found out that Yang Xiaotao came back this afternoon and came to express their gratitude.
