Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 224 The choice of Banggen, Yu Li takes charge of the family

As soon as it dawned, the courtyard became busy. Yan Bugui washed his face with a decadent expression, and then approached Tian Zao and told him that they would go to the street to testify together later.

After returning home, he handed over the property to his ex-wife Ren Xiaomei who had just gotten up.

The main thing is money. For one room, the money is one hundred and fifty.

Yan Bugui kept one hundred for himself. In the past two years of disaster, the family had spent a lot of money, plus the Jia Zhang family, so Xiao Babai's net worth was only two hundred and fifty.

Ren Xiaomei didn't say much, but finally ordered five kilograms of stick noodles and three kilograms of white noodles.

At the beginning of this month, it took more than 20 days to provide food rations, and these eight pounds of noodles were not much.

Don't mention it, if this wasn't a disaster year, one hundred and fifty would be enough for Ren Xiaomeihua for three years.

I just don’t know how long this disaster year will last.

After a while, when it was almost time to go to work, Tian Zao came out pushing his bicycle.

Jia Zhangshi, Yan Bugui and Ren Xiaomei also followed.

After leaving the yard, the four of them got into the car and left. Ren Xiaomei took Tian Zao's car and no longer wanted to get involved with Yan Bugui.

Jia Zhang also got into Yan Bugui's car as a matter of course, and Tian Zao was also happy. Not to mention anything else, Ren Xiaomei was dozens of pounds lighter than Jia Zhang.

Needless to say, this is the first time for Jia Zhang to ride a bicycle in so many years.

I couldn't afford it before, but later my son bought a sewing machine.

She must have taken this sewing machine away. When she saw it when she went back last night, she pulled Zheng Hongying up in the middle of the night to take it back.

At first Zheng Hongying was reluctant to give it, but how could he withstand her grinding.

No matter what, Zheng Hongying gave it up in order to get away from Jia Zhang as soon as possible.

The matter was quickly finished. Tian Zao did not go back to the courtyard but went to work. Yan Bugui also took Jia Zhang to work by bicycle due to Jia Zhang's fuss. In the end, only Ren Xiaomei was left.

Ren Xiaomei stood at the door of the street office and looked around blankly. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and squatted on the ground and cried.

The whining sound attracted a lot of people to watch, and even the people in the corridor were startled, but no matter how many people asked, Ren Xiaomei could only cry.

When he was tired of crying, Tian Zao was also called out. He looked around and said, "Go and do your business. This is my neighbor. He just got divorced. Nothing happened."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that in this era, most people are housewives, and there are not so many dual-career workers. It is difficult to get divorced.

Tian Zao said: "Aunt Ren, I will find a job for you later, making shoes. It will be enough for you to support yourself if you work hard."

Does Ren Xiaomei still have a choice at this moment?

"Thank you Zao'er."

Tian Zao nodded when he heard this and continued: "You should go back quickly. Unfortunately, your situation does not belong to the five-guarantee household, otherwise I will apply for one for you."

"But I will classify you as a poor household and give you some small subsidies during the holidays."

In fact, it is just flour and oil, but even these are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Thanks……"

"Okay, come back quickly."

After Tian Zao finished speaking, he left. At the same time, Yu Li also entered Li's house.

Li Xiuzhu was sitting on a deck chair in the yard drinking tea. A radio was playing next to him, which could help him predict the situation in advance.

Hearing the noise and seeing Yu Li coming, Li Xiuzhu drank a cup of tea and said playfully: "Yu Li, you know how to play?"

"Tell me, why are you making such a big fuss? Don't tell me it's because of Zheng Hongying."

When Yu Li heard this, she quickly explained and said, "Uncle, don't be angry."

"It was my fault that I didn't say hello to you in advance. It's just that I really didn't want to end up with Yan Jie."

Li Xiuzhu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's going on? What does Yan Jiecheng have in mind?"

Yu Li nodded when she heard this and said, "Although he didn't say anything, and he hasn't done anything yet, the way he looked at me was a little wrong."

"It was like it wanted to eat me. I was scared, so I thought of this."

Li Xiuzhu got some information after hearing this. Yu Li most likely wanted to divorce Yan Jiecheng, but the current situation was far from divorce.

Suddenly Li Xiuzhu looked at Yu Li and asked, "Is Zheng Hongying also involved in this?"

Yu Li nodded and said honestly: "I plan to bring her and Yan Jiecheng together. She is also suffering. Silly Zhu was robbed by Guo Ping. This is considered the beauty of an adult for me."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and continued to ask: "What are you going to do next?"

Yu Li said: "Zheng Hongying will move to the front yard to live with my mother-in-law. Later, I plan to let Zheng Hongying show her charm from time to time, and then encourage Yan Jiecheng to let him take advantage."

"When they really get together, I will catch them and divorce them, and I will give them some money to occupy the house."

Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that Yu Li had thought everything through, but there was a hidden danger. Although Zheng Hongying had agreed, Yan Jiecheng might not be willing to give him the house.

"Then what if he doesn't want to give you a house?"

Yu Li seemed to have this consideration as well. She said without hesitation: "If you don't give it, I won't give it. At worst, I will go home. Uncle, you can visit me a few times a month."

"With uncle here, I can still be worse than now."

"And if I have a job, I can support myself and support my family."

Li Xiuzhu laughed and scolded Yu Li when she heard what she said, so he didn't ask any more questions, believing that Yu Li could handle it on her own.

Yan Bugui planned to go to the front yard of his house after get off work that day, but he suddenly realized when he saw Zheng Hongying.

Yes, home is no longer here.

Yan Bugui returned to the middle courtyard with a depressed mood. When he entered, he found a cold home.

No, it's August now, and it's really not cold. It's extremely hot. What he means by cold is that there's no dinner and no fire.

After a while, Bangge came back.

Before she even entered the house, she shouted: "Mom, do you have food? I'm so hungry. I want to eat."

They both go to the same school, it's just that Yan Bugui came back a few minutes early by bicycle.

Seeing Yan Bugui, Banggeng was stunned for a moment.

"Second uncle, why are you at my house? Where is my mother?"

"Well, your mother and your grandma have separated. You and your grandma can call me grandpa from now on."

Yan Bugui's face was complicated. He didn't expect that his first grandson was not his own.

Bangge was dumbfounded when he heard this.

I honestly didn’t expect this to happen, it’s outrageous.

"Second uncle, are you lying? Why didn't my mother tell me, and my grandma didn't tell me either..."

"Where's my mother?"

"Oh, your mother is in the house where the second uncle lived before. You can ask her."

Before Banggeng had time to go find his mother, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi were kicked out.

It was midnight when the whole hospital meeting was held yesterday. Not to mention the children, not even the little wives came out.

"Dad, what's going on? Why did Aunt Zheng go to our house, but my mother asked us to come over instead."

Yan Bugui said with a confused expression: "Your mother and I are divorced, and this will be our home from now on." "Jiefang, from now on, you and Banggeng will live in the same room. When Jie Di turns around, I will build a barrier for you." ”

"You go live there after dinner and tell them I will build a wall for you within three days."

The three children were dumbfounded when they heard it. The older Yan Jiefang could understand a little, but the two younger ones were completely confused.

Banggeng shouted immediately and ran towards the front yard. After a while, he saw his mother cooking.

"Mom, the second uncle lied to me, right? Don't you want us anymore?"

Zheng Hongying burst into tears instantly and said with red eyes: "It's not that mom doesn't want you anymore, it's that your grandma doesn't let you go with mom."

"Besides, you can only go hungry if you follow Mom. Your grandma's job is not given to Mom. Mom and your sisters have to wait for your Grandpa Yan to help."

"Only by following your grandma can you have enough to eat."

Banggan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he couldn't bear to leave his mother, compared with having a full meal, the latter was obviously more attractive.

Banggeng hesitated and asked: "Mom, can I really have enough food if I follow grandma?"

Zheng Hongying paused, seeing that her son only cared about eating and didn't care about her and her sister, and she suddenly felt a little bit chilled.

Thinking that she and Yan Jiecheng would have a son in the future, she nodded firmly and said, "Yes, your grandma earns twenty-seven and five yuan for a month's work, and your grandpa Yan also earns twenty-seven and five yuan. It’s twice as much as our family used to have, but we still have twice as much food.”

Upon hearing this, Bangge smiled.

"Mom, I'm going back." Before she could finish her words, Bangge had already run away.

Watching Banggeng leave, Zheng Hongying clenched her hands so hard that her palms turned white.

At this time, Xiaodang suddenly held Zheng Hongying's hand and looked at Zheng Hongying cautiously.

Zheng Hongying turned around and showed a smile, and happened to bump into Yu Li who was coming back with a red face.

Yu Li leaned against the door and said with a smile: "I'm still sad, don't be sad, don't forget about us, you will still have it in the future."

As he said that, he handed the pound of meat in his hand to Zheng Hongying.

"The meat is done. Let's eat meat tonight."

Xiaodang's eyes lit up and he cheered quickly: "That's great, there is meat to eat."

However, as soon as Xiaodang finished speaking, Yu Li had already covered Xiaodang's mouth and said: "Xiaodang, you are not allowed to shout, and you are not allowed to say that you eat meat at home, do you understand?"

"If you don't obey me, you won't have any meat to eat in the future."

Zheng Hongying naturally knew where the meat came from, and she also warned: "Xiao Dang, be obedient. When you go out, just say that we are all just vegetables and leaves to eat."

Even so, Zheng Hongying was in a dilemma, how could the stew taste like this?
"Yu Li, how can I make this meat so that the smell doesn't come out?"

Yu Li was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She had thought it was true before and had never considered this.

But immediately her eyes lit up.

"Hongying, boil it in boiling water, cut it into slices, make some soy sauce and vinegar sauce, and add some minced garlic. I saw it was done like this on the streets in the past few years."

"It's a pity that we don't have salt, pepper and sesame oil at home. Otherwise, if you eat it with dipping sauce, it will be very fragrant."

This meat is fat and thin, and it will satisfy your craving just looking at it.

"Okay, then I'll go cook."

Although it is boiled white meat, there is no meat smell outside, but people at home can still smell it.

Ren Xiaomei came out after a while, took a look at the kitchen, and asked doubtfully: "Hongying, are you buying meat?"

She immediately recognized that the meat was bought by Zheng Hongying, so she was a little confused. Her mother-in-law had already separated from her. Is this a celebration?
But after thinking about it, it seems that we can really celebrate. It may not be a bad thing to get rid of the old godly woman Jia Zhang.

However, to her surprise, Zheng Hongying shook her head and said, "Yu Li bought this."

"Yu Li...?"

Ren Xiaomei didn't understand even more.

If Zheng Hongying was celebrating her separation from the Jia Zhang family, she could still understand, but why was Yu Li? And where did she get the money and tickets?
After a while, Yan Jiecheng also came back. When he saw Zheng Hongying, he smiled and called: "Sister Zheng."

"Does your family eat meat today?"

Hearing this, Zheng Hongying shook her head and said, "Yu Li brought this back and I made it."

Yan Jiecheng understood what was said. At this time, Yu Li also came over, sat down and said at the same time: "Wash your hands and eat."

After hearing the sound, Ren Xiaomei came out and asked hesitantly: "Yu Li, where did you get the money to buy meat?"

After all, Yan Jiecheng was her son, so she still cared about him, but just by looking at Yan Jiedi and the others, she knew that this concern was limited.

Yan Jiecheng paused and was thinking about how to explain, when he heard Yu Li calmly say without looking back: "Just eat some, don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

"And we'll eat together like this from now on."

"Hongying, come and cook. I will settle the deal with you and give you ten yuan of food every month. You can eat meat every half month. If you don't have enough money, ask me for it."

"Mother-in-law, you also pay five yuan."

Yu Li said as she placed several tickets on the table. The most conspicuous one was the meat ticket. Not everyone could have two pounds of meat tickets.

In this day and age, apart from high-ranking officials, even director Tian Zao only has one pound and two taels of meat coupons.

Naturally, Zheng Hongying would not refuse. This is a good thing. If there is no ticket, money is not money now.

If you have a ticket, you can buy a pound of meat for one dollar, even with fat.

The same goes for food stamps.

"Thank you, Yu Li."

Naturally, Ren Xiaomei would not miss this opportunity. Although her daughter-in-law's things were of unknown origin, it was nothing compared to having a full meal. Wouldn't she dare to fart even if she didn't see her son?
Obviously, her son also knew what was going on.

"Okay, I'll get the money for Hongying later."

Yu Li nodded when she heard this and said to Zheng Hongying: "Hongying, I'm not very good at doing housework. I'll leave the housework to you in the future."

Zheng Hongying nodded when she heard this, washed her clothes and wiped the table. Compared with the advantage she took, she was making a lot of money.

"Okay, Xie Cheng, if you have any clothes, bring them to me later."

Yan Jiecheng was also numb. He didn't expect that his cheap wife would let Zheng Hongying do this.

I was a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but I was afraid that Yu Li would be unhappy.

To put it bluntly, his living standard has dropped several levels now that he has left Yu Li.

"Okay, I'll bring it to sister later."

When Yu Li heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up. She first picked up a piece of white meat, dipped it in garlic sauce, and put it into her mouth.

Sweet and sour, with a hint of garlic, it's really fragrant.

"It's delicious."

"Eat them all. Hongying also gives Xiaodang some chopsticks. Xiecheng, mother-in-law, you all eat them."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks one by one as Yu Li spoke, and there was a sense of joy for a moment.

Even Ren Xiaomei suddenly felt that maybe Yan Bugui's departure was not a bad thing. Let alone the past two years, they had not eaten meat so luxuriously in the past few years.

It's a pity that a pound of meat, even if it is square, only needs to be cut into more than 20 slices, and it can be divided equally among five people to satisfy the craving.
