Scholars in the courtyard.

"Shameless, still close the door by yourself?"

"Dongxu, do you think she will..."

Jia Dongxu squinted his eyes, as if he was sleeping.

Lying in bed for the past few days, I can hardly feel my back, and my eyelids are getting heavier day by day.

After hearing Jia Zhang's words, he just said "um" from his throat, without moving his head.

When Jia Zhang saw it, he sighed again.

If it wasn't for the lack of food at home, she...

Forget it, it's also for this family.

"Pillar, you haven't rested yet."

When Qin Huairu walked in, she saw Silly Zhu sitting on a chair and facing her with his legs split.

Seeing that it was Qin Huairu, Silly Zhu had just thought of it, but now he didn't move.

"Sister Qin, you haven't slept yet."

"Hey, my sister can't sleep, the family will soon be unable to open the pot."

Qin Huairu covered her face and said, there was still a faint palm print there.

Silly Zhu looked at the mark on Qin Huairu's face, and immediately straightened up, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?"

"Woooo, it's useless to be my sister, the family can't earn money, and the children can't get enough to eat. It's useless to be my mother."

Snapped

Qin Huairu patted her cheek while crying.

"Hey, sister Qin, what are you doing? Isn't it just ordering food? I thought it was nothing."

"I don't have this money, but this is food. I still have some at home, and I'll get it for you."

As Silly Zhu said, he was about to get up and give it to Qin Huairu.

"Zhuzi, sister, I really don't know how to thank you. Without your help, our family would not be able to survive."

"Look at what you said, we still say such kind words in our relationship."

Silly Zhu laughed happily, taking advantage of it.

Qin Huairu saw the silly Zhu walking swaying, and was curious, "Zhuzi, your injury hasn't healed yet?"

"Is it that serious?"

Sha Zhu shook his head, "It's almost over, it's just a small injury."

Qin Huairu took Shazhu's grain bag, which contained at least ten catties.

"Small injury. Didn't the small injury heal after so many days?" Qin Huairu didn't believe it, looked at Shazhu biting his lip and said, "Let me see, what's going on?"

Silly Zhu heard this, his heart fluttered, and he was about to agree, but he thought that this matter is related to future generations, how can others know?
"Forget it, forget it."

As Silly Zhu said, Qin Huairu didn't insist, but just casually pretended to care.

"Zhuzi, sister has something else, I don't know, hey, let's not talk about it."

Silly Zhu was feeling at ease in his heart, and he couldn't hold it back when he heard this, "Sister Qin, you are not being open. If you have anything to say, you will be tired after listening to it."

"Sister, that sister said it."

"Speak quickly."

"Zhuzi, what's going on. The situation of my sister's house, alas. Your brother Dongxu has been confused for a long time recently, the doctor said."

"What did the doctor say?"

Silly Zhu stared, not knowing whether he cared about Jia Dongxu or Qin Huairu, but he was very serious anyway.

"The doctor said that the condition is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that it will not survive this winter."

"what?"

Sha Zhu smiled in surprise, and quickly stopped the words when he left his mouth, "That, it's really, really bad."

"Ah."

"I, I became a widow at such a young age. What will I do in the days to come?"

Qin Huairu may be feeling sad about her own experience. After marrying into Jia's family, she has suffered more than salt and enjoyed blessings like sugar. Except for the wedding, there has never been a second time.

But now, the man in the family has stepped into the gate of hell, and she has a clearer mind. Without dedicated treatment, she can't pull that foot back at all.

Leaving is a matter of time.

At that time, she will be a widow.

It was hard for a widow in the country she had ever seen.

She has seen how pitiful children are without their parents and with their grandparents.

She doesn't want the children to be so helpless.

She also stroked her stomach in the middle of the night, hoping that a boy would come out of it, so that the family would have more hope.

And she is willing to give everything for this family.

And Shazhu is her best
"Sister Qin, don't worry, Brother Dongxu is gone, and I'm still here."

"I, I sure will, take care of you, yours."

Sha Zhu was a little excited when he spoke, and told him in his heart that he shouldn't say that, and that beside him should be a pale girl, not a widow.

But seeing Qin Huairu like this, he couldn't help but want to go up to comfort her.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu, the widow, the three children, and the wicked mother-in-law were all driven away by this inner desire.

Such a good woman must be loved.

Recalling the feelings of the past in my mind, I imagined it.

"Pillar, pillar?"

"Ah, hey, sister Qin, tell me."

Silly Zhu quickly wiped the drool off his mouth, "What are you talking about?"

Qin Huairu calmed down, "Zhuzi, I just wanted to let you, brother Dongxu, eat better and live comfortably for a few days before you leave."

"Sister Qin, you mean?"

"Well, my sister knows that you are in charge of the kitchen, and you used to bring lunch boxes, but it's just recently."

Sha Zhu immediately understood what was going on, and thought that after the exchange, those annoying supervisors did not show up, so he felt that there was no problem.

"Sister Qin, you have to be on guard against villains in this matter."

"Pillar, you mean."

The silly thief smiled, "You can bring this lunch box, but I can't give it to you openly."

"You know, this Xu Damao, hehe, I've made him miserable enough. If he finds out about this, he won't be stabbed to the sky. When the time comes, I'll have to smash it too."

Qin Huairu pondered over, "Zizi, what do you mean?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

"It's for Brother Dongxu, I have to bring out this lunch box no matter what."

"From now on, come and get it at night, don't let anyone see it."

When Qin Huairu heard what Sha Zhu said, it didn't seem very good, but for the sake of the lunch box, let's come here.

"That's okay, you can take it tomorrow?"

"Take it tomorrow."

A while later, Qin Huairu went out with a bag of noodles and returned to Jia's house.

Looking at half a bag of fine grains, Jia Zhang also forgot the cursing in his mouth just now, and smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face.

Later, when I heard that there were lunch boxes to eat, I was even more happy, and I kept praising Shazhu for being sensible and filial.

When Qin Huairu heard this, she was slandered in her heart, because she was a filial figure, and she had taken a fancy to me as a widow.

In the end, I was a little proud of myself.

That's what she does.

Don't look at the mother of three children, she can also fascinate Silly Zhu.

"If Yang Xiaotao is like this..."

Sticking to the side, sticking to his buttocks, looking at the fine grains, happily let the steamed buns eat.

Xiao Dang wanted to eat buns.

Qin Huairu was also happy to see Xiao Dang getting close to her, and when he said that he would make radish buns tomorrow, Xiao Dang jumped up and down again.

"It stinks!"

Stick stem suddenly asked a smell, the Jia family was quiet for a moment, and the joy just now was no longer there.

The cold night passed, and it was sunny again.

In the following days, Xu Damao continued to suffer from Sha Zhu's making things difficult for him in the back kitchen, suffering every day.

Sha Zhu promised Qin Huairu to start bringing lunch boxes, and Sha Zhu was shrewd, not only avoiding Xu Damao, but even Liu Lan's close people didn't notice.

Even when he was back in the courtyard, Qin Huairu would always go to Shazhu's to pick up lunch boxes at night. Yang Xiaotao knew about it, but he didn't think much about it.

After all, the relationship between Qin Huairu and Shazhu is known in the compound.

During this period of time, Yang Xiaotao, apart from helping out in the workshop, read books in the office at other times, and studied the manufacture of pressure cookers after returning home.

As for the courtyard, every day is wonderful.

Silly Zhu was trying to find work for Xu Damao. He missed cooking several times at noon, so he put the blame on Xu Damao, and even Xu Damao was deducted several times from his salary.

Xu Damao also had no choice, who made him offend Silly Zhu?

I didn't want to be subdued, and I didn't want to lose my job in the rolling mill. I still wanted to become a projectionist again and live the old days.

But in the face of Shazhu's aggressiveness, Xu Damao also broke the pot and couldn't cook. What the hell is he doing as a helper?
And he also saw that this stupid Zhu didn't know what to do and aimed at him, that was to kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred.

Didn't the director of the cafeteria look at Shazhu in the wrong way?
It is estimated that if this continues, not only he will be unlucky in the end, but even Sha Zhu will have to suffer along with it.

When the time comes, hum.

Xu Damao waited for the opportunity in painful struggle.

As the new year approaches, there are many things to do in the rolling mill. The production of heating furnaces not only did not reduce the output, but more tasks have come down.

With the full supply of the rolling mills in the factories in Sijiu City, most factories have begun to accept heating furnaces.

Wang Fa, Zhou Kui and the others couldn't be idle all day, especially the workers in the installation team, who worked hard to earn money.

As for the orders from Jinmen not far away, they can only be queued until the next year.

And it also needs to arrange someone to guide the installation in the past, which is another big project.

However, the workers at the rolling mill didn't complain about it. After all, it's all about money.

Hearing the news from Xu Yuanshan, the members of the exchange group have returned to various places and have already started producing heating stoves.

It won't take long for this technology to spread and work.

On Xiaonian's day, Yang Xiaotao finished his work in the morning, and took Ran Qiuye to Zhou's house for a walk in the afternoon.

As a result, Zhou Kui and his brothers were not at home except Zhou's mother and two girls.

Yang Xiaotao asked about the situation, and Zhou's mother told the truth.

Since joining the rolling mill installation team, Zhou Kui has never been home, and has been running around the factory's rolling mill all day long.

Of course, that earns more money than Zhou Peng, a regular worker.

Moreover, Zhou's mother also said that Zhou Kui had found a partner.

Ran Qiuye immediately asked which girl.

Mother Zhou introduced it generously.

Yang Xiaotao knew this woman, and it was quite a scene at the time.

This person is Liu Guogang's younger sister, who was introduced by Yi Zhonghai to Shazhu at the beginning, and later it was rumored that "Zhu Bajie and his second aunt" Liu Yuhua.

Ran's mother then talked about the process of the two getting to know each other.

It was a very simple meeting. Zhou Kui and Liu Guogang went to the machine repair shop to install the heater, and then they met Liu Yuhua who was working together to earn money.

Zhou's mother has no prejudice against Liu Yuhua. Most people are "sorghum poles" these days. Being able to grow up like her means that there are still some in the family, and this girl is a fourth-level blacksmith. She can earn money and has a sincere heart. The eldest of her family is together, so she won't suffer or be bullied.

Ran Qiuye had never met Liu Yuhua, so she didn't know what was going on.

Guarding Zhou's mother, Yang Xiaotao was inconvenient to speak out, he just waited to go home and explain to her.

Later, Zhou Peng ran back in a hurry. It was the fourth sister Zhou Li who found him at the gate of the textile factory. If she hadn't heard that Yang Xiaotao was coming, she would still be waiting at the gate.

Zhou Peng returned home with a worried look on his face. Yang Xiaotao asked, but scratched his head in distress.

Then he said that he fell in love with a female worker in a textile factory, but the other party said that he was interested in him but didn't take the initiative, but every time he went to the movies, he couldn't make up his mind.

As soon as Yang Xiaotao heard it, he knew that this silly boy was being caught by someone.

In the previous life, there were too many videos of fishing for one to find another.

Obsessed with it, it also has resistance.

Moreover, the female workers in this textile factory are not low-born, and they all eat the food provided, so they naturally have a higher vision in choosing a partner.

Although Zhou Peng's qualifications are not bad, he is still not qualified in front of this group of "beautiful girls".

After Yang Xiaotao heard this, he began to give advice to Zhou Peng.

"When chasing a girlfriend, you have to be relaxed, and you can't make her feel that she is the only one."

"If you get hot on shaving your head, you will lose the initiative, and even if you are together in the end, your family status will not be guaranteed."

"If I were you, I would do this."

Zhou Peng listened carefully to Yang Xiaotao's move, his eyes sparkled.

It seems that these few "means" can hold the beauty back.

One of the two talked eloquently, the other listened with gusto, but didn't notice Zhou's mother and Ran Qiuye's playful smile.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye home.

By the way, talking about the "Zhu Bajie and his second aunt", let Ran Qiuye hear that there is still such a thing, and his impression of Shazhu is even worse.

But listening to what Yang Xiaotao said, Liu Yuhua and Zhou Kui are really a good match.

In the back seat, Ran Qiuye suddenly asked, "The trick you gave Zhou Pengzhi sounds very effective."

The sudden sentence made Yang Xiaotao vigilant, and his waist felt a little itchy.
