Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 75 Qin people cover the sun
The third uncle thought for a while, and if he really wanted to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden opposite, this time should be available.

"Honey, when you asked Jie Cheng to do something, would he give it to you when you went to the vegetable garden to order some food?"

"I don't think Xiao Zhu is stingy, so he should be. This can save a lot of food."

The couple looked at each other and were both a little surprised. This was a good idea.

"As the boss, you have many ideas and a good brain."

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, who were helping to clear the table, turned their heads and looked at their parents. The third uncle raised the Three Kingdoms in his hands.

"You can learn all this from books. Reading makes you wise and sensible. Just study hard."

The two siblings nodded seriously.

Jiajia
Banggan was having an awkward moment, and Qin Huairu left, so Jia Zhang cooked some porridge, steamed some steamed buns of Erhe noodles, and couldn't stir-fry a single green vegetable, so she cut some pickles to deal with it.

The smell of fish and meat outside makes Banggian restless. What kind of food is being eaten at this house...

"Grandma, I also want to eat meat, I also want to eat fish..."

Xiaodang whispered, I also...

Mrs. Jia Zhang had a sad face, this was too much for someone to do, not to mention there was no fish or meat, even if she had, she wouldn't be able to make it herself.

"My dear grandson, your mother didn't leave a penny behind when she left. What will grandma do with you? Let's wait until your mother comes back."

"Grandma, why is there so much oil in your mouth? I don't care, I want it."

"This is not vegetable oil. You can see that my mouth is broken. This is clam oil..."

It took Mrs. Jia Zhang a long time to comfort her precious eldest grandson, then she lowered her head and scolded him.

"Damn Zhu Xuefeng, I curse your whole family to eat rotten intestines. This is all the money of our old Jia family..."

……

It was already dark, and the middle courtyard was obviously much quieter than the front and back yards. No one was chatting or walking around in the yard. Only the leaves of the locust trees were blown by the wind and rustled occasionally.

The lights in Yi Zhonghai's house in the east wing were still on, and the lights looked a little dim through the unclear glass.

In the private room, an aunt was wiping something at the dining table. In front of her was her husband, who was lying on a recliner, slowly massaging her temples. She was mentally and physically exhausted these days, her blood pressure was unstable, and she kept feeling a sudden bump on her forehead.

The aunt looked at her husband in a daze, and it took a long time before she summoned the courage to speak.

"Lao Yi, don't you hate hearing what I say, I've been holding it in for several days."

Yi Zhonghai put down his hands, supported the recliner, and turned his head to look at Auntie.

"What's the matter? You don't go out of the compound, so you heard some gossip again."

"Tell me, are you worth it? I heard about Jia Dongxu and sent myself to the loading and unloading team."

After a pause, he sighed again.

"Why is he so uneasy?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't say a word. This shit was embarrassing to say the least. Lao Wang didn't even save face for himself, making it difficult to manage the young people in the workshop.

"I can't control him now. It's only a matter of half a year. It will pass if I endure it. By then, it won't be the same as before."

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and acted carelessly.

"What's the matter? In the past, he was secretly cheating and playing tricks, but now he's blatantly hiding out. I think this kid is a loser."

Yi Zhonghai was said to be worried and a little impatient.

"Okay, don't talk about him. When he goes out to work and has a family to support, I don't believe he is still like this. He is probably worried about the labor camp now." "How can you not talk about him? He almost died twice. If you use up your family's capital, didn't you say you bought all the old lady's gadgets?"

Speaking of the old lady, Yi Zhonghai was obviously even more irritable. He had lost all his usual calm demeanor. What was going on? The price he paid was higher than the black market. If he couldn't find a way out, who would want to offend this old lady? All the people in this compound are not as powerful as the old lady.

"Don't worry about the old lady's affairs. Just take care of the two of us. We can live this life."

Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes, stacked his feet, crossed his hands on his chest, and tried to calm down. His blood pressure suddenly rose, and his temples bulged fiercely.

After a long while, there was no movement behind, so I couldn't help but open my eyes, sat up, and looked back, I saw that the aunt had tears streaming down her face.

"Oh, what's going on? Is this the only thing that matters?"

His tone has slowed down a lot, but his heart is still depressed.

I saw the aunt shook her head and said nothing.

"Honey, I'm anxious and have a bad temper. I'll change it. Let's not talk about it today."

……

"I'm talking about the boss, what you said about Jia Dongxu seems weird no matter how you look at it."

The third aunt started to clean up the house. The eldest brother had disappeared long ago. He must have gone to find Huang Xiaojuan. My wife picked up the book again. She had been reading this book for many days.

"Let's not get involved in this matter. Jia Dongxu's punishment is probably not cheap. You also saw Director Wang from the street, directly pulling Zhu Xuefeng into the house."

"It doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, just watch it. This time I heard that Jia Dongxu refused to obey the labor reform and changed places. Wait and see, there will definitely be excitement."

The third uncle put down the book and squinted his eyes for a while. He had to take a rest. The light of this light bulb was still a bit weak. Let’s make do with it. The bright light consumes too much electricity. This kind of study makes people happy. I really gained a lot from reading by myself.

……

After rushing all the way, Qin Huairu finally arrived home not long after dark.

The conditions of Lao Qin's family are also not good. There is no decent furniture in the house. The whole main room only has a table and a few benches. On the gable wall at the entrance are portraits of two great men. Behind the gable wall is the kitchen. Nowadays, no one has a fire. It's full of clutter.

With the faint light, I looked at my mother lying on the kang. Her cheeks were slightly red, and the rest of her body was earthy gray. She looked half-dead and her breathing was very weak.

Qin Huairu touched his forehead with his hand. He felt a little feverish. He put it on his forehead to compare, and found that it was not too high.

Looking back, his father, brother and sister-in-law were watching. Qin's father's lips had blistered, and they were red and black.

"Dad, what's wrong with my mother?"

It turned out that Qin's mother came back from doing farm work a few days ago. The weather was too hot. To save time, she walked through the woods, which were filled with cemeteries from nearby villages. The cool breeze made Qin's mother stop sweating and she felt quite comfortable at that time. .

He collapsed after returning home after lunch. He had a low fever, which changed to high every night. The medicine given by the health team was not enough. Qin's father was so anxious that his mouth blistered. He was sent to the district hospital in Changping, which took several days. The doctor said that he should be sent to the city, where the medical conditions are better, and he could be examined and given the right medicine.

It's a long way to get to the city, and the key is that he doesn't have much money in his pocket. Dad Qin knows that there is a man named "Huang Shenxian" nearby. He heard that he can split characters very accurately, but of course he doesn't dare to do it now.

So I borrowed a bicycle from the team and walked more than ten miles to beg the "Huang Immortal" secretly.I went to Huang's house and told her about the situation. I begged for a long time, but they ignored me.

Finally, Father Qin was cruel and gritted his teeth and took out the last dollar. "Huang Shenxian" took it and put it in his pocket without even looking at it. Then he glanced at Father Qin.

"You write a word and I'll read it."

Father Qin saw that the Spring Festival couplets on his door had not yet fallen off, so he wrote the word "spring".

"Huang Shenxian" looked at it for a long time and said: "This character is 'Qin people cover the sun'. The top is the prefix 'Qin', the middle is the character '人', and the bottom is the character '日'. Qin people cover the sun, half cover." It’s half uncovered. Although it can’t be covered, it’s hard to see the clear sky. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and ignored Father Qin.

When he heard that there was nothing he could do, Father Qin became anxious. He was about to leave. Thinking that his wife had gone to the cemetery, he became even more worried. He refused to speak even if he asked others, as if he could not reveal the secret.

I had no choice but to go home, and quickly called Qin Huairu to discuss it together. After all, this girl had been in the city for so many years, so she should be able to help. With the conditions of her son's family, they couldn't count on it.
