Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 53 Mid-Autumn Festival Benefits (Happy New Year's Day!)

At around five o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

Yan Bugui, who was sweeping the floor in the yard, saw Wu Aiguo coming back from work. He immediately turned his attention to the bag on the rear rack of Wu Aiguo's bicycle and asked Wu Aiguo curiously: "Aiguo! You are behind the wheel?" The bags on the shelf are bulging, what’s in them?”

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Third uncle! This bag contains the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits distributed by our unit. There is nothing, just some pork and a few salted duck eggs."

Yan Bugui heard the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo, looked at the bulging bags on the back of the car, and said with envy: "Aiguo! The welfare of your supply and marketing cooperative is better. There are still five or six days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Time, the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits will be distributed so soon."

"Second brother! You're back!" Wu Aifang, who was skipping rope with her little sisters, saw Wu Aiguo pushing his bicycle into the front yard, and ran to Wu Aiguo with a happy face.

"Uncle! Why did you come back just now! Yingying misses you!" When Xiao Yingying saw Wu Aifang running towards Wu Aiguo, she immediately ran towards Wu Aiguo with her short legs.

When Wu Aiguo saw his little niece running towards him, he pretended to take something out of his pocket, and a White Rabbit toffee immediately appeared in his palm.

"Little Yingying! Are you missing Uncle? Or are you missing the big white rabbit toffee in Uncle's hand?"

Xiao Yingying saw the toffee in Wu Aiguo's hand, snatched it away, and replied in a sweet voice: "Yingying misses her uncle, and she also misses uncle's toffee."

"Patriot! What's in your bag?" Wu Aiguo parked his bicycle and carried the bag on the rear rack into the house. Chen Shuying saw the bag in Wu Aiguo's hand and asked Wu Aiguo curiously.

Wu Aiguo put the bag on the table and introduced: "Mom! This bag contains our unit's Mid-Autumn Festival benefits! Five pounds of meat, two pounds of noodles, and two pounds of salted duck eggs!"

"Mom! I want to eat glutinous rice noodles tonight!" Wu Aifang swallowed instinctively when she saw the pork belly in the bag, and pleaded to Chen Shuying.

When Chen Shuying heard her youngest daughter's request, she gave Wu Aifang an annoyed look, and reprimanded her, "Wu Aifang! You want to eat noodles with glutinous rice noodles too, so why don't you just stay there! When your elder sister comes back, hide away Doing homework in the room, and you? You know how to play all day long! It’s not bad to have corn bread for you to eat.”

"Patriotic! Are you free now? Can you accompany me to find Master Liu and ask him to come over and see how my house should be repaired?" Silly Zhu immediately came to the front yard when he heard the news of Wu Aiguo's return , asked Wu Aiguo with a smile.

Wu Aiguo heard Silly Zhu's request, and replied very simply: "Brother Zhuzi! Wait for a while, after I wash my face, I will go with you to find Master Liu."

"Qin Huairu! I work hard in the factory to make money every day, and you give me these things?" Jia Dongxu saw the porridge in the bowl, and angrily slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, loudly Question Qin Huairu.

Jia Dongxu's slap really startled Qin Huairu, who explained with horror: "Dongxu! This month, your quota has been deducted by another two kilograms, and now you only have 24 kilograms of grain left. "

"If it's just you eating these rations, you can eat whatever you want, but if you add BangGiao and our mother, if you don't save yourself, you won't be able to last until next month."

When Jia Dongxu heard Qin Huairu's explanation, he didn't believe what Qin Huairu said at all, and asked Qin Huairu angrily: "Qin Huairu! Tell me honestly, did you steal food from home to supplement your natal family? Then They lied to me and said that my quota was reduced."

When daughters from other families get married, they will buy some gifts and go back to their parents' home to visit relatives during the holidays. After Qin Huairu married into Jia's family, Jia Dongxu never accompanied Qin Huairu back to her parents' home, let alone gave her gifts to her parents' home.

When Qin Huairu saw that Jia Dongxu suspected that she was stealing food from her family to subsidize her parents' family, Qin Huairu felt very wronged and quickly defended herself: "Dongxu! This food was really withheld from the grain station. I really didn't steal food from my family to subsidize it." My mother-in-law, if you don’t believe it!”

"Snapped!"

Seeing Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu dared to defend himself, so he directly raised his hand, slapped Qin Huairu on the face, and angrily shouted at Qin Huairu: "Stinky bitch! I'll make you talk back!"

"Dad! Why are you beating my mother when you have nothing to do?" Banggeng asked Jia Dongxu with some dissatisfaction when he saw Qin Huairu being beaten.

Since Qin Huairu married into Jia's family, she has eaten the worst food and done the most tiring work. Jia Dongxu used her as a punching bag when she couldn't get it.

Feeling the burning pain on the cheek, tears kept pouring out from Qin Huairu's eyes.

"Qin Huairu! Why did our Dongxu say something about you? Who are you crying for?" When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu being beaten, instead of comforting Qin Huairu, she took it all for granted.

When Qin Huairu heard what Jia Zhang said, she looked at the faces of the Jia family's mother and son, and ran towards the outside of the Jia family's house with regret on her face.

Just as Qin Huairu ran out of Jia's house, he ran into Wu Aiguo and Sha Zhu.

When Qin Huairu saw Wu Aiguo and thought about her being beaten by Jia Dongxu, she remembered the scene that night when she hid in the east wing of the front yard to heal herself, and then ran towards the front yard.

Silly Zhu saw the back of Qin Huairu disappearing at the moon gate, and he, who lives in the middle courtyard, could guess that Qin Huairu was beaten again by Jia Dongxu without using his brain.

Thinking of Qin Huairu's hard work in the Jia family, what was exchanged was not the approval of the Jia family's mother and son, but the constant abuse and humiliation, Sha Zhu couldn't help complaining for Qin Huairu: "The Jia family's mother and son are really nothing! "

When Qin Huairu ran out of Jia's house just now, Wu Aiguo clearly saw the slap mark on Qin Huairu's cheek.

Hearing what Shazhu said, Wu Aiguo thought of what happened to Qin Huairu, and reminded Shazhu: "Brother Zhuzi! It's about the Jia family and has nothing to do with us. You should say a few words less."

Wu Aiguo reminded Silly Zhu, and turned to Master Liu, "Master Liu! This main house is brother Zhuzi's house. The floor height of this room is more than five meters. If the house is divided into two floors, Do you think this plan is feasible?"

Hearing Wu Aiguo's words, Master Liu walked around the house first, then walked into the house to have a look, and then said to Shazhu: "Master He! It's no problem to change your house to two floors. To build an indoor toilet, you need to dig the ground in front of the moon gate and lay pipes underground."

Sha Zhu heard the situation introduced by Master Liu, and quickly asked Master Liu: "Master Liu! According to the renovation plan that Aiguo just said, how much will my house cost after the renovation is completed?"
