I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 151 He would be willing to marry a widow with children
Yan Bugui feels really bad now.He, Yan Bugui, usually regarded himself as an educated person and always looked up to himself. In this courtyard, he could hold his head high and considered himself to be a breath of fresh air.

But what the employees of the steel rolling mill said just now was so lively, it really chilled his heart.

As a cultured person, he didn't have any New Year welfare in school.As the Chinese New Year is getting closer, he has been thinking of ways to make enough dumplings for the Chinese New Year.I have even made up my mind to find a way to catch two fish for the dumpling stuffing.

But as for the stuffing, it’s just okay. As for the noodles, where can I get white flour?
He was still a little proud. At least he had the ability to fish. Once he got the noodles, he could make a meal of fish-filled dumplings.

Others in the courtyard don't have the same connections as him. Maybe many dumplings this year don't have the meaty flavor.

Who would have thought that when the news came out of the blue, he would hear excited discussions from the employees and residents of the steel rolling mill when he came back today.

Director Li, the logistics director of the steel rolling mill, showed his magic and got a lot of New Year benefits from nowhere. Now the entire kitchen of the steel rolling mill is working overtime to prepare dumplings and meat fillings.

And there are rumors that not only meat fillings are distributed to every employee, but also white flour, apples and eggs.

Oops, a good thing that I didn't even dare to think about happened like this.

But for him, Yan Bugui, this matter was embarrassing.When the dumplings are served on New Year's Eve, other families in the courtyard will eat dumplings stuffed with white flour and pork. What's the big deal if he makes dumplings stuffed with fish and meat that don't look like anything else?
What's more, the fish haven't been caught yet, so I don't know if there is any fish meat filling?I didn’t even get any white flour, so I can’t make it into stick noodle dumplings then, right?
The more Yan Bugui thought about it at home, the more uncomfortable he felt. He thought that this would not work and that he had to find a way to have white-flour pork dumplings at home.

Even if one person eats one, he still has to keep the dumplings rolling in the pot at home.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was also listening with interest to the people in the courtyard talking about the welfare of the steel rolling mill.

She had already glanced at home several times, but Qin Huairu hadn't come back yet, and there was no sign of Shazhu next door. She felt even more relieved at this time, and it could be seen that the cafeteria was really as they said, and there was no one there. Busy catching up on the minced meat.

Banggeng excitedly held Jia Zhang's hand and asked, "Grandma, will we all be able to eat pork dumplings during the Chinese New Year this year?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang nodded: "Of course, your mother is a worker in the canteen of the steel rolling mill."

When Shazhu and Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, it was already very late.However, even Silly Zhu, who usually hates working overtime, looked cheerful and full of energy at this time.

As he was about to enter the courtyard gate, Qin Huairu couldn't help but ask Silly Zhu: "Sinzhu, you said that this time the benefits will be paid, will the apprenticeship still have to be halved?"

Silly Zhu, who was originally smiling, was stunned. He hesitated, sighed, and said: "I guess it's still like this, after all, it's an old rule. Alas, Sister Qin, don't worry, we won't be able to do it by then. Let’s switch, we have a small family, I’ll take half and you’ll take the full share.”

Qin Huairu smiled, just nodded without saying anything, and took the lead into the courtyard.

They walked to the front yard and saw Yan Bugui squatting at the door of his house, absentmindedly playing with several pieces of land in his house. The green vegetables in the field had been harvested, and now only onions and garlic were left.

When Yan Bugui saw Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, he quickly stood up, walked up to them and asked, "Are you really working overtime to make dumpling fillings?"

Silly Zhu smiled proudly and nodded: "The meat given to me this time is enough. Although it is still mixed with a lot of vegetables, the meat taste is definitely enough, especially the fat. It makes people greedy just looking at it."

The look on Yan Bugui's face was visibly ugly. He kept slapping his mouth and said nothing.

As soon as Qin Huairu entered the house, she was grabbed by Jia Zhang who had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Is the meat stuffing ready? When can it be distributed?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I'll probably send it out tomorrow, as I have a holiday the day after tomorrow."

After listening to this, Bangge cheered happily.Qin Huairu quickly gestured to him to keep quiet and not to wake up Xiaodang who was sleeping inside.

Jia Zhang was thinking about good things when she suddenly heard Qin Huairu say: "But our family may only get half, because I haven't become a full-time employee yet, I'm just an apprentice."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, making Jia Zhang stunned.After a while, Mrs. Jia Zhang woke up and grabbed Qin Huairu: "No way, are you talking nonsense? There are so many things to pay for a welfare. If you really say that, Lao Jia and Dongxu will give You have made a lot of contributions to the factory, and you can take over."

Qin Huairu calmly pulled away Jia Zhang's fat hands and said with a faint smile: "Now that I'm taking over, I'm still an apprentice. The rules are there and they're all dead." The thing in this world is not to worry about scarcity but to worry about inequality.

It turns out that there is no such thing as welfare for dumpling stuffing, and I didn’t see how sad Jia Zhang was.She originally thought that if she could eat steamed buns with two noodles and cook two decent dishes, she would be living a good year.

But now her appetite was whetted, but when she suddenly heard Qin Huairu say this, she felt as if half a scoop of cold water had been poured on her whole body, and she immediately couldn't bear it.

"No, if they dare to only give us half a share, I will go to the factory to cause trouble. Then no one will be able to eat."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang and sneered disdainfully. "Okay, I'll just wait and see if you can get the full benefits."

Opposite the door, a aunt was talking happily to Yi Zhonghai, "This is our new year. I originally thought I might have to suffer a little, but I didn't expect that when I arrived, I had everything. Originally, the old lady gave me two kilograms of white flour this morning. There is also a pound of pork, and I thought that although it is not much, at least I can have a meal of dumplings to eat. I didn’t expect that your factory will provide benefits, and now I can eat a full meal of dumplings.”

Yi Zhonghai drank the wine in his glass and asked, "Did the old lady give you meat and flour again?"

The eldest mother nodded happily: "It turned out that I said we would take care of the old lady and always felt that we needed to build things. Unexpectedly, the past two years have been difficult, and we have benefited from it. I have to work hard every day. You can also have a few good bites with the old lady."

Yi Zhonghai was thinking thoughtfully and murmured in his mouth: "Where did the old lady get her white flour and meat?"

The aunt heard his muttering, smiled and whispered: "According to her, we met by chance a few times before. Now around the new year, I met a few old friends, and if I had a way to get something, I would give her some." She also As I said, she is an old woman and doesn’t have much ability, so she can just take care of the food in her mouth."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and did not ask any more questions. After a while, he suddenly said: "I have been thinking about something today. What do you think if we bring Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu together to live together?"

The aunt was suddenly brought up on such a topic. She didn't react for a moment. She was stunned for a while and then said: "Sinzhu has a house, a job, and is such a good cook. Would he be willing to marry a widow with children? Besides, He's not too old, and he's in good health. There's nothing wrong with him, but he's not a good match anyway."

Yi Zhonghai smiled, raised his head and asked the aunt: "Si Zhu is in front of us every day, what kind of thoughts are you aware of?"

As he spoke, he took a bite of food and took another sip of wine: "Calculate how long it took. Silly Zhu is not urging us to find a partner for him like before."

The aunt lowered her head, thought for a while, and slapped her thigh: "Hiss, it's really what you said. Since Jia Dongxu's death, it seems that Silly Zhu has not been active in finding a partner, especially Recently, he didn't even mention it at all, as if he was enjoying himself all day long. Old man, is it really what you said? Does Silly Zhu care so much about Qin Huairu? "

Yi Zhonghai laughed a few times and said, "It will only be more serious than you think. So I thought about it, why not just go with the flow and match Qin Huairu with him, so that the two of them can live together. There’s nothing wrong with it, they all know the basics. And in this way, Bangge and Xiaodang also have their father to take care of them, wouldn’t the family be complete?”

After hearing this, the aunt lowered her head and pondered, and then raised her head to peek at Yi Zhonghai from time to time.

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, looked completely attentive. It seemed that he had thought the whole thing through and was just waiting for an opportunity to bring it together.

Auntie is not a fool. How can she not know Yi Zhonghai's little thoughts as a pillow?Especially Yi Zhonghai's thoughts about Qin Huairu, she had already seen it, but she couldn't say it and no one said it.

Just like when she was still young, Yi Zhonghai flirted with Jia and Zhang, wouldn't she still tolerate it?The days have passed day by day until today.

However, Yi Zhonghai's suggestion today was really beyond Auntie's expectations.She knew that Yi Zhonghai had communicated with Qin Huairu some time ago, but there was no movement after that.

Now that he suddenly mentioned it like this, did he really no longer have that thought?

The aunt thought about the matter several times, but she didn't quite understand it. She could only follow Yi Zhonghai's words and continued: "I think you should think about it carefully. This thing can work, but there is one thing. Mrs. Jia and Zhang are easy to get along with. She pays close attention to Qin Huairu every day. If you ask her to marry her daughter-in-law to Shazhu, won't she still cause trouble? "

Yi Zhonghai smiled when he heard this, took another glass of wine, smacked it in his mouth, and said: "Don't worry, she will agree. In fact, she just needs to change her mind and think about it carefully. Qin Huairu lives with Silly Zhu, and she Jia Zhang From now on, I can only enjoy the blessings, and how can I live like this every day?"

The aunt nodded thoughtfully and helped Yi Zhonghai gather the dishes without saying anything else.
