Chapter 270, New Year’S Eve, The Courtyard Where Things And People Change
"Crackling, crackling.
"It's Chinese New Year!"
With the sound of firecrackers in the alley and the sound of children playing, New Year's Eve has officially arrived, and everyone has made New Year's Eve dinner and is ready to enjoy this rare moment of reunion.
But compared with previous years, this year's courtyard has changed a lot, especially the relationship between the middle courtyard and several neighbors in the backyard.
"The food is ready, little Sophora japonica, go wash your hands and come to eat. Today is New Year's Eve. Mom specially bought the pork you like to eat. Hurry up.
"I know, Mom, I'll be fine soon!"
At this time, at Jia's house in the middle courtyard, after the New Year's Eve dinner was ready, Qin Huairu greeted Xiaodang and Huaihua who were playing to eat.
There were only two dishes in total, a pork stew with cabbage and a stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and five or six white flour steamed buns. The staple food was sweet potato porridge. As for the pork she was talking about, there were actually only a few pieces in total.
Although the food is much better than the usual food, when compared with Banggeng's treatment, the difference is simply visible to the naked eye.
"Wow, it really has meat, and it also has white-flour steamed buns. Thank you, Mom."
"You are such a silly girl. What's there to thank you for? Mom even thinks she hasn't done enough. I'm sorry for you. Eat it quickly. If you don't eat it, let it cool."
I have to say that despite being still young, Xiaodang already understood a lot of things at this time. He knew that his family had no money, so he tried his best to pretend to be happy.
As for Qin Huairu, no matter how much he prefers Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua are still his biological daughters, so he still feels guilty.
"How could it be? Mom, you are the only one working at home now, your salary is not high, and you have to visit your brother and grandma every month. Plus us, it is quite good to have such a meal, right? ,Mom, when will my brother and grandma "373" come back? I miss them."
"My little belly has thought about it too, Mom!"
"This will take some time. Don't worry. Mom will definitely try her best to get your brother and your grandma home early. All you have to do is wait."
Hearing Xiaodang's heart-warming words, Qin Huairu couldn't hold himself any longer. Coupled with Huaihua's lovely speech, he instantly fell in love and quickly made a promise to his two girls.
"I knew Mom, you must have something to do. I really hope I can see my brother soon, so no one dares to bully us, and someone will play with me."
"Xiao Dang, if you encounter those bad kids in the future, stay away from them and stop playing with them. Your brother and the others will be back soon. Hurry up and eat."
"Okay, got it, Mom."
Seeing that his daughters had already started eating, in order to prevent them from seeing the flaw, Qin Huairu quickly followed, but his mind was no longer sure where to go.
That is to say, Xiaodang and the others were too young to hear the forced smile on her face when she spoke, but anyone else would have noticed it at a glance.
How could it be so easy to get Bang Gang and Jia Zhang to come out early? After leaving Silly Zhu, she now only needs money but no money. It doesn’t matter if she needs connections. Her only backer, Guo Dapizi, can only give it to her in the workshop. Just provide some convenience.
As for her son's good behavior and many reduced sentences because of his good performance, she still doesn't understand her son's virtues. She would be thankful if the punishment is not increased, but Jia and Zhang may still have a chance.
It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and this is really reflected in her. Thinking about how difficult it was to deal with an old woman at home and in the courtyard, but since entering prison, she has completely "changed".
After all, there was no one there to spoil her. After being severely punished several times because of her bad mouth, she immediately recognized the reality, turned around and worshiped a boss, and served her "diligently, hard-working and without complaint". .
When Qin Huairu went to see her two days ago, he was no longer as embarrassed as before, and his whole mental state was different. He also told her clearly that he would definitely get a chance to have his sentence reduced next year.
She doesn't need to worry about Jia Zhang anymore. As for Bangeng, she can only see if there are opportunities in the future to "get to know" more people with greater energy.
After the mother and daughter finished the New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Huairu first put the children to sleep, and then started to pack up the housework with a heavy heart.
As for the children's favorite firecracker show, of course there is none. There are no new clothes. Where can I have the spare money to buy those things.
While Qin Huairu's mother and daughter were having dinner, the New Year's Eve dinner started at Shazhu's house next door.
It's just that compared to the miserable and deserted home of hers, the other party's home was much more lively.
Yi Zhonghai and his wife, the deaf old lady, and the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters, the five of them gathered around a large table of food, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"Old lady, you are an elder, please say a few words to everyone before eating to celebrate the garden.
"Yes, old lady, just say a few words. I like to listen to you talk now."
"Old lady, just say a few words, otherwise they won't dare to move their chopsticks."
"Yeah!"
After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words and seeing the deaf old lady who was about to refuse, Shazhu quickly answered, and the aunt also echoed, "There is also He Yuyu. I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded."
"Okay, then I will just say a few words. I hope Shazhu can marry a wife next year, and his salary will be higher and higher in the future. Everyone will be healthy. Okay, let's eat. 17
"Thank you, old lady. With your auspicious words, I will work hard next year to get married and have children as soon as possible, so that our family can be more lively, and I will work harder to make money.
"Thank you, old lady, and we also wish you a happy new year, good health, and never get sick.
After hearing the deaf old lady's blessing, Shazhu quickly stood up to express his stance and directly made a promise. Whether it can be realized or not is one thing. He must first make the old lady happy.
As for the other people, they naturally said some words of blessing to the old lady, and then everyone started chatting while eating.
"Silly Zhuzi, I will remember what you said, madam. If you can't do it next year, see how I deal with you then. You all can bear witness to me.
"Don't worry, old lady, we will help you supervise him. In addition, his aunt and I will also ask someone to find a suitable partner for Shazhu."
"That's good. It finally puts me at ease as an old woman. However, you must pay attention to the woman's character. If she is not qualified, don't introduce her to Silly Zhuzhu, otherwise he will be fooled by others."
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the deaf old lady was a little relieved, but also reminded him to pay attention to the woman's character. Apparently she was still not relieved about Qin Huairu's matter.
"I know this, I will definitely pay attention to it."
"Old lady, don't worry, I've already suffered a loss once and I will definitely not be deceived again."
"I hope you have really remembered the lesson this time. By the way, rainwater, I heard your brother said that you have already found your partner. The conditions of the other party are not bad. You can't just patronize yourself. If you have the opportunity, help your brother find it. one time."
After hearing the assurances from Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu, the deaf old lady, who felt that it was not safe, also assigned a task to He Yuyu, who was eating a lot next to her.
"I understand, old lady, since he divorced the man next door, I have been keeping an eye on him. If there are suitable conditions, I will definitely introduce him to my brother.
"You are right to do this. This is what brothers and sisters should be like. Okay, eat them quickly and don't let them cool down."
"Okay, Mrs. Quan.
"Master, I would like to toast you and thank you for your constant "help and care". From now on, I will rely on you to take more care of me."
After eating for a while, Shazhu toasted Yi Zhonghai with a wine glass. On the surface, he was extremely respectful, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
Although she and Qin Huairu have divorced, no matter how generous Silhu is, she cannot treat the things she did with Yi Zhonghai as nothing happened.
Moreover, after thinking about it for a period of time, he made a new discovery. Since Yi Zhonghai's purpose of finding Qin Huairu was to have a child, it was obvious that he regarded himself as a tool.
If Qin Huairu was really pregnant, what was his role? He was stupidly kept in the dark, and then he kept raising the child for the other party.
How dark this person's mind is to be able to come up with such a damaging move. To put it bluntly, he is simply more hateful than Qin Huairu.
"Look at what you said, Silly Zhu, we are just like a family. There is no need to be so polite with the eldest brother. As long as you can be nicer to me and your eldest mother in the future, it won't be in vain for us to do these things."
"Then we must not "forget". You and Auntie watched me grow up. What kind of person am I, Silly Zhu? Do you still not understand?"
"That's true. Your character is obvious to all. Don't worry. After the New Year, I will ask your aunt to find more matchmakers to help you find a suitable partner."
"Thank you. I'll leave it to you and your aunt. I won't say any more. Everything is in the wine. I'll tell you what you want.
"Okay, I'll have a drink with you."
Since knowing the truth of the matter, after this period of training, Shazhu's acting skills have become better and better. His tone and expression when speaking are so natural that several people here have not noticed at all.
The story between their two families will probably be exciting in the future.
While the two families in the Zhongyuan were busy eating, Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard was naturally doing the same thing.
"Master, the New Year's Eve dinner is about to take place, why don't you say a few words to the juniors.
"Of course that's what I want to say. I'm just thinking of words. I've thought about it."
Everyone in the family knew how dedicated Liu Haizhong was to becoming an official, so just as he was about to start eating, the third aunt praised his wife...0
"Then let me say a few words of blessing first. I wish everyone a happy new year and all their wishes come true, especially Jingru and the child in her belly. I hope they will be healthy and prosperous for our old Liu family. ”
"In addition, one thing I want to remind you is that the interpersonal relationships in the compound are too complicated now, so when you are interacting with other people, you must remember it, neither push for the limelight nor offend others. Just enjoy our family's life well."
In fact, even without Liu Haizhong's reminder, his family could still see it. There were so many stories happening in the compound, and they were not pig-minded, so they would definitely feel it.
"Don't worry, Dad, we will remember it. I wish you and my mother-in-law good health and all the best."
"Okay, if Jing is interested, everyone should start quickly. If you don't eat it, it will be cooled."
"Okay, Dad."
After Liu Haizhong finished his performance, their family's New Year's Eve dinner officially began.
"Old man, do we really have to move out from here after the New Year?"
At the same time, at Xu Damao's house not far from Liu Haizhong's house, Mr. and Mrs. Xu were absentmindedly eating while discussing their move after the new year.
"Well, we have to move. I know what you are thinking, but that is all your guess after all. Besides, look at Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Silly Zhu. Do any of them dare to seek revenge from Wang Jianjun?"
"No! It didn't happen before. It will happen in the future."
As Wang Jianjun became more and more powerful, they became even more afraid. There was no chance that revenge would succeed.
"Besides, their relationship with Wang Jianjun is so tense now, do you think the other party will let them go? Maybe they will be dealt with by the other party before they take action.
"
After this period of thinking and analysis, and the matter of adopting a son was coming to light, Lao Xu had completely given up on continuing to cause trouble for Wang Jianjun.
If he stays here, he will only be plotted by Yi Zhonghai and his gang, and they will be used as cannon fodder. Therefore, moving is the best choice, and completely stay away from this place of right and wrong.
"Okay, you are the head of the house, and I listen to you. What about this house? It's not that easy to find a suitable buyer."
"There's no rush. I'll let the news out after the New Year. Then whoever offers the highest price will sell it. We're not in a hurry anyway. "Just wait."
"That's true, then let's do it. I will pack everything up after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. You can decide on the specific day to move."
"Well, hurry up and eat, the food is almost cold."
After the discussion came out, the old couple took the time to continue eating.
The ones that have changed the least during this period are naturally those in the front yard.
"Old man, hurry up, the children are waiting for you to share peanuts, melon seeds and fruits."
"Come on, come on, why are you urging me?"
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s time for the traditional snack distribution part of Third Uncle 4.8’s family. Thanks to Wang Jianjun, their family is a lot richer this year, and the New Year’s goods are naturally better than in previous years.
Much richer.
"There are more snacks this year, so I don't need a shovel to count them. Each person has a handful of peanuts and melon seeds, and then there is a piece of fruit. How about that? No problem."
"Then what's the problem? Dad, your distribution plan is absolutely fair. Let's start quickly. We're all waiting to eat. I'll make your eldest grandson hungry.
"Then let's start, starting with my eldest grandson, but he can't eat yet, so I'll let Xiaojuan lead this part. Come and line up.
After arranging the program, it didn't take long for the snacks to be almost finished. As for the remaining ones, of course they were used to greet the guests.
"The snacks are delicious. Don't forget what I said during the meal just now. Our family will continue to maintain a good relationship with the Jianjun family in the future. As for the other neighbors in the compound, they are
Just keep in touch. "
"Don't worry, dad, even if you don't tell us, we still know what to do, and we still know the principle of never forgetting the well digger.
“That’s good, don’t eat all the snacks in one go, save some for the next few days.
"
"good."
Although making friends with Wang Jianjun will lead to isolation from others, Yan Fugui doesn't care about this because he knows very well that no matter how good the relationship with his neighbors is, he can't improve his family.
living conditions, so how to choose? In fact, there is no need to consider it at all.
At this time, at Wang Jianjun's house, after eating the New Year's Eve dinner and setting off firecrackers, the couple lay on the bed early and chatted, mostly about their longing for the future.
As for the courtyard, for them, there was nothing to discuss. When the time was almost up, the young couple went to rest directly.
