Chapter 19 Some are happy and some are sad

Chapter 19 Some are happy and some are sad

Seeing Yi Zhonghai walking happily back to his home, Jia Zhang in the room almost laughed like a pig.

She patted her son's shoulder and said, "Dongxu, your kneeling just now was simply amazing. We are an orphan and a widow and we can't stand in the courtyard without external help. Now it's the best way to let the Yi family handle it."

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom! I know what to do. If the Yi family has no descendants, he must treat us well, otherwise why should I provide for them in their old age?"

Ma Lan thought that her mother-in-law, a widow, was able to come out of the old society and raise her son to adulthood, which was quite capable. If ordinary people are not convinced, they can try, it is not easy in this era...

"Mom, what's going on with the Yi family? Is it Yi Zhonghai who can't have children or is it Gao who can't have children?"

When her daughter-in-law mentioned this, Jia Zhang was happy.

"Both of them have problems, but Yi Zhonghai's is more serious. Lin Chen's grandfather had him treated more than ten years ago, and later he went to hospitals in Sijiu City and other places. He spent a lot of money, but he just can't explain it..."

……

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, Gao had already prepared dinner. She was happy to see Yi Zhonghai coming back, but she didn't quite understand what he meant.

"You...why are you so happy?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and sat down at the dinner table.

"Come, come, let me tell you. I just put some pressure on the Jia family and they gave in. Dongxu just kowtowed to me and promised that we would host the banquet. Then he announced in front of all the residents that he would take care of us in our old age. What do you think of this?"

When Gao heard that the Yi family was going to host the banquet for Jia Dongxu, she announced it in front of the whole courtyard.

"Of course this is a good thing. Isn't this what we want? As long as we announce it in front of the whole courtyard, if the Jia family regrets it in the future, they will be despised by the whole courtyard. In this era, spitting can drown people... I don't think they dare to regret it."

Yi Zhonghai laughed: "This is a case of spending little money to accomplish a great event. That idiot Jia Zhang thought she made a profit. In fact, we made the profit...Tomorrow you will spread the news that the Yi family organized the wedding banquet. This time I want the whole courtyard and the whole alley to testify for us."

Gao nodded happily and contentedly: "Oh, I understand."

The Siheyuan Calculation Competition has officially begun...

backyard

Lin Chen and Qin Huairu were having dinner when there was a commotion in the next room.

"Lin Chen, what's going on with the Liu family? I've been here for three days and heard fights two nights ago."

Lin Chen glanced at the Liu family and said, "Fatty Liu is enforcing the family rules again. He beats the children for fun. Sometimes he also beats his wife... He will be gone in a while, and it's useless for others to persuade him."

Qin Huairu shook her head. This courtyard was really strange. There was not a single normal resident. Was it true that everyone in the city was like this?

Seeing that she was silent, Lin Chen smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow is Saturday, so don't cook dinner. Our marriage and my passing the exam are double happiness. I have promised my colleagues in the department to set up two tables at Donglaishun. It's not easy for everyone right now, and we don't lack the gift money. So not accepting gifts is just for fun, and it can be considered as someone celebrating for us."

What girl doesn't want a wedding witness and blessing? Lin Chen is willing to ask a colleague to introduce himself to everyone. Qin Huairu is of course happy to ask...

"Hey, that's a good thing... I'll be waiting for you to come back and pick me up at home. If I look for Donglaishun now, I may not be able to find it."

Lin Chen took her little hand and rubbed it: "Let's go for a walk on Sunday. After a while, when you get used to it, I'll teach you how to ride a bicycle. You can go around by yourself when you have nothing to do..."

Lin Chen thought that when there were no bicycles before, he walked to work like everyone else! When Qin Huairu learned how to ride, letting her ride back to her parents' home would also satisfy her vanity.

Qin Huairu is no longer the ignorant little girl, so she naturally knows what Lin Chen means by habit.

All day long, the women in the courtyard were teasing her and Lin Chen about their wedding night. She didn't even get off the kang the next day, and they all praised Lin Chen for being so great.

On the contrary, Ma Lan was fine today and even rode her bike to work. It was obvious how useless Jia Dongxu was... Jia Sanbang's nickname had spread among the women in the hospital. When Qin Huairu heard the women's private conversations, she thought to herself, "My man must be more than three hundred sticks!"

……

Qin Huairu lowered her head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "You will get used to it after my sister-in-law says it two or three times... Oh, let's not talk about this while we are having dinner."

Lin Chen laughed: "No, no, let's talk about it later in bed. Tell me what special skills our sister-in-law taught you..."

Qin Huairu's face turned even redder when she thought of what her sister-in-law Ding taught her.

"You hate..."

The young couple started playing around while eating. If outsiders saw them, they would definitely be envious that there was such a life in such an era.

At first, Qin Huairu chased Lin Chen to hit him, but Lin Chen hugged her and kissed her. Qin Huairu hurriedly broke free, and Lin Chen chased her for a kiss instead...

A poor couple with good manners has many worries. A young couple who has enough money will live a much more worry-free life.

Now overlooking the entire courtyard, at the Yan family dinner table, Yan Bugui was worried about how his family would fill their stomachs.

The Yi and Jia families in the Central Courtyard were scheming and taking advantage of each other, while He Daqing from the He family was thinking about his own affairs with the White Widow.

In the backyard, the Liu family was still beating their wife and children, while the Lin family’s young couple were playing and joking.

On the other hand, the Xu family was discussing how to ask the Lou family for a place to work in the factory... Liu Guangqi, who was originally going to go to a technical secondary school, didn't go and now he has entered the factory as an apprentice, and the Xu family can't sit still.

"Old Xu, we can't wait any longer. Liu Guangqi has already entered the factory as an apprentice. If Damao doesn't go, the Lou family might collapse one day. Then there will be no one to help us..."

Xu Wood looked at his son and sighed. It didn't matter whether he went to high school or not. He had already learned all the knowledge in junior high school...

"I don't want Damao to work as a laborer in the workshop, but if he goes to the office, he will be too young and be excluded."

Xu Damao was not even as old as Sha Zhu, so he was not old enough to work in the factory. But if he had connections, he could work as an apprentice in the workshop. Liu Haizhong got his eldest son Liu Guangqi to work in the workshop as an apprentice.

Mother Xu rolled her eyes at her husband and said: "Why are you so stupid? If you don't want to go to the workshop, it's easy. Why don't you ask Lou Zhenhua to arrange for him to work in the logistics warehouse? Wait until Damao turns 18 and then find a way to transfer him to the office."

Xu Damao gave his mother a thumbs up.

"Dad, what mom said makes sense! You should go to the Lou family to ask for a place. If the Lou family fails one day, it will be troublesome for me to enter the factory. They all go to the factory to earn money, and I don't want to continue going to school."

Lao Xu nodded and said that it was okay to go to the logistics department to look after the warehouse and distribute materials. After two years, when he was old enough, he could go to the office or learn to project movies by himself.

"Okay, I'll go to the Lou family tomorrow to ask for a spot. They owe us a lot!"

As soon as Xu Wude finished speaking, his wife glared at him fiercely...

"Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

……

Front Yard Yan Family

Yan Bugui put down his bowl and said, "Jiecheng, go help your mother wash the dishes after dinner."

Yan Jiecheng already knew the reason why his mother couldn't stand cold water, so he immediately agreed to his father's arrangement.

"Hey, I'll go now."

At the beginning of winter, the Yan family was slow to light up the stove and had been using a ground pot and wood stove.

Now he was reluctant to boil water to wash the dishes, so Yan Bugui arranged for his eldest son to help his wife wash.

"Mom, is there a little girl in your belly?"

Yang looked at her man and said: "It should be. Your brother Lin Chen has already checked his pulse. He said it must be..."

"That's great. We will have a younger sister in the future."

At this time, Yan Jiefang and the younger Yan Jiekuang surrounded their mother.

Yan Bugui looked at his four mothers and sighed again.

"Girls also need to eat, and they also need to be raised until they are 18 years old before they can start working and make a living. Our family will have a harder time in the future..."

Yang took the three-year-old Jie Kuang and sat him on her lap.

"Old Yan, why do you keep telling the kids these things? They don't know how to live. They are very sensible now that they are not complaining about being hungry. When our daughter is born, I will be able to raise her even if I eat less. Don't be so depressed all the time."

Seeing his wife about to cry again, Yan Bugui said, "Don't say anything, just stop crying. Let's live prudently from now on. We need to spend every penny wisely."
