Chapter 199 The Jia Family Gets a Meat
Jia family.
"This beast has finally calmed down."
"The compound doesn't belong to his family, but he has no shame in making a noise even after dark."
"Yi Zhonghai is also a worthless guy. Why is he acting like a big shot? He doesn't care about people making noise in the yard late at night. He might as well just work for me."
Jia Zhang cursed loudly in the house.
Mainly, she was jealous that Chen Jianye and his friends were eating meat and drinking wine in the house, while she could only smell the food.
Qin Huairu lay on the bed, too lazy to pay attention to Jia Zhang.
"A few people drank some horse urine and lost their sense of direction."
"Just let one of them drink to death, and let this beast shed a layer of skin."
Jia Zhang continued to curse.
There was no movement from the Chen family, and Jia Zhang was so angry that she had no place to vent.
After cursing for a while, Jia Zhang finally fell asleep grumbling.
For the next few days, Chen Jianye lived a normal life as planned.
Get up in the morning, eat, go to work, and gain experience.
I scroll until I get home from get off work and read at night.
The next day, he went to Ran's house to find Ran Qiuye, and they had a loving moment to dispel their longing for each other.
That day, Chen Jianye was sitting at the door picking vegetables when he saw Qin Huairu enter the He family.
After a while, Qin Huairu brought out a bowl of peanuts from He's house.
When Chen Jianye finished picking the vegetables and went home, Qin Huairu went out again with a bowl of fried peanuts.
The direction he was walking in was clearly the He family.
Chen Jianye raised his eyebrows.
Qin Huairu brought out a bowl of peanuts from Sha Zhu's house. It was no big deal.
But she sent a bowl of fried peanuts to the He family, and the meaning behind it was intriguing.
In this era, it was clearly over the line for a widow to give food to a young man.
Chen Jianye just looked at it and didn't bother to care.
The courtyard is so small, and he believes that the news of Qin Huairu frying peanuts for Sha Zhu tomorrow will spread throughout the courtyard.
The reputations of both Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu will be damaged.
But relatively speaking, Sha Zhu suffered more losses.
Because he hasn't found a partner yet, marriage is a long way off.
With his unclear relationship with the widow, it will definitely be more difficult for Sha Zhu to find a partner in the future.
The next day, Chen Jianye saw Sha Zhu coming back with a lunch box and delivering it to Jia's house.
When Chen Jianye was cooking at home, Banggeng ran out of the house with a bowl of rice.
There were two pieces of pork belly in the bowl.
Although the two pieces of meat were only as big as the thumb nail, it was already a very luxurious enjoyment in that era.
Banggeng deliberately didn't eat the two pieces of meat. Instead, he put the meat on top of the rice bowl and strolled around the yard.
He wanted others to see that there was meat in his bowl.
Pretending to be cool is a biological instinct.
Children are more straightforward in showing off, unlike adults who use comparison, contrast, and embellishment to show off in a Versailles way.
When Chen Jianye brought the dishes to the table, he glanced at Bang Geng who was passing by the door, but did not see the meat in the latter's bowl.
Even if he saw it, Chen Jianye was too lazy to think about it.
It’s just meat, he eats half a pound of it every day.
After dinner, Chen Jianye cleaned the table and was about to take the dishes to the front yard.
dong dong.
Yu Li came over and knocked on the door.
"Oh, Sister Li, I was just about to bring it to you."
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
"Then I came at the right time."
Yu Li smiled slightly, took a rag and wiped the table.
She knew that Chen Jianye would study at the dining table in the evening, so she specially took a clean rag.
This way there won’t be too much smell of food residue on the table.
"Hey, Bang Geng is running around the yard with a bowl in his hand. Did you see that?"
Yu Li asked.
"I saw it, what happened?"
Chen Jianye replied.
"There were two pieces of meat in his bowl, but he was reluctant to eat them and showed them off to the whole courtyard."
"My dad said that the meat of the Jia family might be brought back by Sha Zhu from the steel mill. The Jia family simply couldn't afford to buy meat."
"My mother said that she saw Qin Huairu frying peanuts for Sha Zhu yesterday."
"Maybe they have some relationship."
Yu Li glanced outside the door and spoke in a low voice.
"So that's how it is. Sha Zhu is stealing from the government. We can't indulge him."
Chen Jianye pretended not to know and said angrily.
"Don't say anything. My dad is just guessing. It may not be true."
"But Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu must have something going on, otherwise why would she, a widow, fry peanuts for Sha Zhu?"
"Like serving her man."
Yu Li muttered with some disdain.
"Yes, Sister Li, you are absolutely right. A widow should avoid suspicion."
"There's no reason to take the initiative to approach him."
Chen Jianye echoed.
"That's right. Look, I work for you. When have I ever cooked for you? I come in and out quickly."
"Isn't it all to avoid suspicion? Sha Zhu is really stupid, and Qin Huairu is evil-hearted."
Yu Li used herself as an example.
"If this continues, Shazhu will have a hard time in the future."
Chen Jianye continued speaking.
"That's for sure. If he really brings meat from the factory to the Jia family, he will be in trouble."
Yu Li picked up the enamel basin, walked a few steps, and stopped: "Don't tell anyone what I just told you."
"Don't worry, Sister Li. Do I look like someone who likes to gossip?"
Chen Jianye said generously.
"You are not, I'm assured."
Yu Li left satisfied.
Chen Jianye blinked.
Qin Huairu sent fried peanuts to Sha Zhu, and even Yu Li knew about it.
News spreads really quickly in the compound.
"Mom, grandma, I'm back."
Banggeng walked around the yard a few times with the bowl of rice in his hand and came back happily.
Thanks to the two pieces of meat in the bowl, he gained enough face today.
The friends in the yard were all stunned.
"Hey, my eldest grandson is back."
"Look at my eldest grandson eating meat, make him happy."
"Qin Huairu, what did I say? Wasn't it wrong?"
Jia Zhang touched Banggeng's little head lovingly and said happily in the same way.
"Mom, you're right. The most important thing for our family is to have meat to eat. Nothing else matters."
Qin Huairu agreed.
She had already heard a bunch of old ladies in the yard gossiping about her.
Originally, Qin Huairu found it hard to accept that she had not looked for a strange man at all. Her purpose in looking for Sha Zhu was simply to hope that Sha Zhu could improve the food she sent to the Jia family.
The effect was immediate, and Sha Zhu quickly got half a palm-sized piece of pork belly from the steel mill.
It's more than one or two taels.
Qin Huairu cut off the fat and squeezed the oil to cook.
The remaining meat was divided between Jia Zhang and Bang Geng.
Jia Zhang and Bang Geng were both delighted to taste the long-lost aroma of meat.
"now it's right."
"Talk to Shazhu tomorrow and ask him not to always bring pork. Try to change to meat once in a while.
"For example, chicken, duck, beef, mutton, etc."
Jia Zhang gave important instructions.
"I'll try to talk to Shazhu. As long as there's meat, it'll be fine. As long as our family can eat something good, I'll be satisfied."
Qin Huairu said in a low voice.
Qin Huairu took too many gifts from Sha Zhu and was worried that Sha Zhu would make excessive demands.
"You have nothing to do at home anyway, so think about it more."
Jia Zhang ordered.
Qin Huairu pursed her lips, feeling very unhappy.
What do you mean she has nothing to do at home? Obviously she has a lot of things to do at home.
She worked so hard at housework with a bulging belly that she even lost face and went to Sha Zhu's house to beg for food.
But when it came to Jia Zhang's mouth, it turned into her "having nothing to do at home".
