Chapter 347 Mid-Autumn Festival
Mid-Autumn Festival.

A few days after the criticism meeting, Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

It's another holiday, but there is no holiday on this holiday. There are only four holidays: New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Labor Day and National Day.

Except for these four festivals, there are no holidays on other festivals.

However, the factory leaders also took into consideration that today is a holiday and deliberately reduced the difficulty of the work, allowing the usually busy production line to temporarily ease up.

Before leaving get off work, everyone goes to the logistics department to get pastries, and then has to go back to work. It's really like working at the office.

Fortunately, there were not many tasks today, and everyone was waiting for the end of get off work with laughter.

"Ding-ling-ling--" As the bell for the end of get off work rang, the workers packed up their things and left work in a crowd.

"If you are not motivated after get off work, there is something wrong with your thinking." Li Kailang also left work in a hurry and did not go home immediately.

Instead, he took a detour to get the quilt from the cotton fluffer.

"Comrade Wang, I'm here to get the quilt."

The cotton craftsman looked up and immediately recognized this generous customer. He responded enthusiastically: "Comrade Li, you are here. The three quilts are ready. Do you like them?"

I saw three snow-white, soft and fluffy quilts neatly stacked aside. They were obviously made of fine materials and had exquisite workmanship.

Li Kailang nodded with satisfaction: "The workmanship is very detailed, I am very satisfied."

"As long as you are satisfied, that's good."

"Okay, I'll give you how much it costs."

Li Kailang took out the money he had prepared from his pocket without hesitation and paid the fee directly to the cotton craftsman.

Three quilts were made on an expedited basis. It shouldn’t have been that fast, but Li Kailang directly used his “cash power”.

After all, there is money to be made and there is extra cotton to be obtained, so the cotton craftsman is naturally happy to expedite the process.

"Okay, I'll take the quilt away after paying the money."

"Okay. By the way, when you have time, you can take out these three beds, dry them in the sun and use them as beds. No need to wash them." The cotton craftsman reminded.

"Okay, thank you very much." Li Kailang took away the three quilts and left.

The cotton craftsman then lowered his head and looked carefully at the money in his hand, "Hey, Comrade Li is a straightforward person. I wonder if I can meet such a generous person in the future."

"Not only did I make some money, but I also got a lot of extra cotton, which I can use to make two sets of clothes for my child."

The cotton craftsman happily went to soak the cotton to make new clothes.

After Li Kailang left, he found a deserted place and took the quilt away.

"Use bed 1 for bed covers and keep bed 2 for when you get married. That's not bad." Li Kailang was also very happy and rode his bike back to the yard.

Suddenly, "Hey, sister, be careful!" was heard, followed by "Oh no!". Li Kailang was leisurely pushing his bike on the path home, when he was unexpectedly bumped into the thigh by a small figure.

"Hey, sister, be careful!
"Oh!" A child's voice was crisp but with a hint of shock and pain.

Li Kailang was pushing the cart home leisurely when he was bumped into the thigh by a small figure.

The little guy was unsteady and his little butt was about to make close contact with the ground.

Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng was quick-witted and rushed forward and hugged his sister in his arms in time.

"Jie Di!" Yan Jiecheng rushed over in a hurry, hugged Yan Jie Di, touched her forehead, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Brother will blow on it and it will go away." Yan Jiecheng gently stroked Yan Jiedi's forehead and blew carefully to relieve the pain.

After all, she is the youngest in the family and a girl, so Yan Jiecheng naturally feels very distressed about her.

After blowing for a while, Yan Jie Di didn't feel so much pain. Yan Jie immediately taught her a lesson: "I'll teach you how to run so fast without looking at the road next time. If you don't look at the road, you will hit your head."

As Yan Jiedi listened to her elder brother's words, her little face was filled with grievance. She rubbed the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her little hands, her eyes became wet again, and she finally couldn't hold back.

"Ah Wu——" He burst into tears.

Now, Yan Jiecheng was in a dilemma. He originally wanted to teach his sister a lesson, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect and made her cry instead.

He quickly put on a gentle face and comforted her in a soft voice.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I didn't mean to be mean to you. I just wanted you to remember to be more careful next time."

"Ouch——"

Yan Jiecheng's comfort didn't seem to have much effect. Yan Jiedi was still sobbing, and her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Speaking of which, Yan Jie Di turned one year old at the end of last month. After learning to stand up, Yan Jie Di is full of curiosity.

I have already walked around every corner of the yard and even visited many people's homes.

Compared with Xiaodang, who is of the same age, Yan Jiedi is very lively and is deeply loved by everyone in the courtyard.

No one is that close to Xiaodang. I don’t know if it’s because Xiaodang is shy or because he is alienated from the Jia family.

"Brother, I have some candy here. If you want to eat it, you don't have to cry." Li Kailang took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket.

Yan Jiedi's attention was instantly attracted by the candy, and her crying stopped abruptly.

She stared at Li Kailang expectantly with her eyes wide open, stretched out her two little hands, and said in her soft voice: "Ge Ge, medicine."

"If you want it, don't cry."

"Hungry." Yan Jiedi nodded.

Yan Jiedi took the candy, couldn't wait to peel off the candy wrapper and put the candy into her mouth.

In an instant, the little face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and happiness, and his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, making him look particularly lovable.

"I'm sorry to take another candy from you." Yan Jiecheng said a little embarrassedly. He bumped into someone and still wanted someone else's candy.

"It's okay, it's just a candy. He's just a child, just coax him." Li Kailang waved his hand nonchalantly.

In fact, Li Kailang knew in his heart that Yan Jiedi had bumped into him most likely on purpose.

After all, ever since Yan Jie Di first visited Li Kailang's home, he would give Yan Jie Di candy.
After doing it many times, this clever little guy has figured out his routine and knows that he can get candy by asking him for help.

But Li Kailang didn't mind this little trick.

Li Kailang originally wanted to give milk candy, White Rabbit milk candy at that.

However, White Rabbit Milk Candy is not available on the market now and will not appear until after National Day.

After all, White Rabbit Milk Candy was created as a tribute to the tenth anniversary celebration, and only the upper class can eat White Rabbit Milk Candy.

Seeing that Yan Jiedi didn't cry, Li Kailang pushed the cart home and prepared a table of delicious food to reward himself.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the current economic situation is not good, everyone will still make something delicious to celebrate.

Take out the 2 meat coupons saved this month, totaling 2 taels of meat coupons, and the previously pickled fish and eat them.

This time of year in previous years was the most popular time for the deaf old lady, after all, she was the ancestor of the courtyard.

Every family must come over to send some delicious food, and if they don’t, I will deliberately ignore them.

When everyone sees this, they will deliberately ignore that family.

But after Liu Guangqi's girlfriend Zhang Lan and her childhood friend Song Dashun made a fuss, everyone began to doubt the identity of the deaf old lady and no longer respected her as much as before.

After Xu Damao repeated it again, everyone began to disenchant the deaf old lady.

Now, in everyone's eyes, the deaf old lady is just an old lady without any support, just an ordinary old lady in the yard. Without the ability to call the wind and rain as before, everyone doesn't like her very much.

After all, everyone hopes to have an irrelevant ancestor above his or her head.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. The deaf old lady is guarding the door. In the past, many people came to her house to celebrate, but now no one has come to visit.

"Oh." The deaf old lady sighed and shook her head.

Her hunched body made her look like she was already in the sunset.

"Old lady!" Suddenly, a voice came.

A slightly burly man with an overly mature face walked in.

"My dear grandson, why are you here?"

"Hey, old lady, look at what you are saying. Isn't it Mid-Autumn Festival? Please come to my house and have a good meal."

"Okay, okay." The deaf old lady smiled with relief. Finally someone cared about her. "Grandma's love for you is not in vain. Grandma will go with you."

The deaf old lady stood up tremblingly with her cane.

"Oh, grandma, don't bother. I'll carry you."

As he spoke, Sha Zhu turned his back and the deaf old lady came over to him. Sha Zhu then carried the deaf old lady on his back to Yi Zhonghai's home, and the three families celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

As for the Jia family, they were naturally not invited, if it weren't for Jia Zhang's mischief a few days in advance, which implicated him.

Just look at the way Jia Zhang eats, no one can eat when she comes.

At this time, the Jia family was not at peace.

"Mom, it's time to eat." Qin Huairu came out with the food.

Jia Zhang was lying on the bed, her stomach growling with hunger. When she heard Qin Huairu talking, she quickly got out of bed.

When Jia Zhang saw the food on the table, she immediately became unhappy.

"It's a big festival, why are we only eating this kind of food? There's no meat at all, not even white flour buns. What are we eating?"

"Qin Huairu, how did you do it? You spent so much effort to make it like this. What are you doing?"

Qin Huairu ignored all the complaints from Mrs. Jia Zhang and did not hear them at all.

Qin Huairu thought to herself, "Sure enough, what Li Kailang said is right, he is just a lazy guy who likes to eat and do nothing."

"Hehe~" Jia Zhang suddenly twitched her nose and sniffed the smell in the air carefully, "What's that smell? There's meat. Whose family is eating braised pork?"

Jia Zhang hurried out and as soon as she smelled the food at the door, she knew whose family was cooking.

"Yi Zhonghai makes braised pork, but it smells like it was made by Sha Zhu."

It happened that Sha Zhu walked into the central courtyard carrying the deaf old lady on his back. The two of them glanced at Jia Zhang and walked forward on their own without paying any attention to her.

"Even the old lady has been there, there must be something delicious." Jia Zhang licked her lips and wanted to eat it very much.

Qin Huairu poured cold water on him: "Mom, forget it. He didn't invite us to go. It would be useless if you went. You might as well get kicked out."

Jia Zhang didn't believe it: "You didn't invite us? How is that possible? That's absolutely impossible. We used to eat together. Did you hear it wrong?"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang's wishful thinking and smiled: "What's there to be misunderstood? No one said it, how could I have heard it wrong?"

Jia Zhang: "That's because you didn't hold on. You were not there when Yi Zhonghai came to look for you. After all, our family has both Yi Zhonghai's godson and his apprentice."

"No matter what, they will invite us to go. No, I have to go and ask. You must not have listened."

Seeing Jia Zhang pretending so much, Qin Huairu was too lazy to expose her. She said so much just because she wanted to eat.

Jia Zhang walked halfway and suddenly turned back.

Qin Huairu was a little surprised when she saw this, and thought to herself: "Oh, this is recognizing the facts, and you are quite self-aware."

Jia Zhang: "Qin Huairu, will you come with me to ask?"

Qin Huairu refused directly: "Forget it, Mom, I won't go. You go. They didn't invite us, so it's obvious that they don't want us to go. There's no need to join in the fun."

"I also have to take care of Bang Geng and Xiao Dang's meals, so it would be nice if you could have some."

Jia Zhang was simply too embarrassed to go and ask alone, so she asked Qin Huairu to go with her as a shield to avoid damaging her face.

"Ah! If you don't go, I won't go either." Jia Zhang gave up the idea. If Qin Huairu didn't go, she would be the one who would be scolded.

Jia Zhang returned home and sat down. She had no appetite when she looked at the food on the table. They were all vegetarian dishes, without any meat at all.

Jia Zhang deliberately picked faults: "Qin Huairu, you have been tinkering in the kitchen for so long, and you only made such a small amount of dishes. They look so unappetizing, how can you eat them!"

"Today is a festival, so we're just making these and eating them like this."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Jia Zhangshi. She didn't do any housework, but was finding fault with him during meal time. She was indeed lazy and cunning.

"Mom, I want to make something good too. You ate all the meat and flour in the house a few days ago. If you continue to eat, there will be nothing left this month."

"If you want to eat something good, that's fine. Just give me money and I'll go buy it now."

When Jia Zhang heard about money, she was like an angry rooster: "Give money? Give what money? That's my retirement money, I won't give it to you!"

"You haven't done well, and you still want me to give you money to eat well. You're dreaming!"

Qin Huairu was too lazy to argue with Jia Zhang. It was useless and would only add to her troubles.

"If you don't want to pay, just eat these. Eat it or not. Come and eat, Banggeng." Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhangshi and picked up some food for Banggeng.

Banggeng saw that the atmosphere at home was full of tension, so he kept silent, fearing that he would be beaten.

"Hey, Qin Huairu, what's your attitude? Do you still regard me as your mother in your eyes?" Jia Zhang said angrily.

Jia Dongxu suddenly interrupted, "Okay, stop arguing. It's annoying. If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, go to sleep."

As soon as Jia Dongxu spoke, Jia Zhang immediately shut up, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, grabbed a steamed bun made of two grains of flour and started eating.

Qin Huairu was too lazy to roll her eyes at Jia Zhangshi. She was a person who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. Only by bullying her could she feel the pleasure of power.

"I don't know when this will end!" Qin Huairu lamented in her heart.

The mother-in-law thought that now that her son was getting married, it was her turn to retire and enjoy life.

The daughter-in-law believes that getting married will give her more love and care from her family.

In the end, I found out that the mother-in-law wanted the daughter-in-law to take over her job and that I should serve her well.

But my wife thinks that I didn’t get married to take over your business.

Finally, the two found that their goals were inconsistent.

The conflict broke out completely.

When a daughter born in another family marries into his family, she should not wait for food to be eaten, but should work like a slave. After all, she is not his daughter, but an outsider.

In Jia Zhang's eyes, Qin Huairu was the daughter of someone else's family and an outsider, so she had to be served like a slave.

Just like when she served her mother-in-law.

Jia Zhang treated Qin Huairu the same way her mother-in-law treated her.

Qin Huairu could only endure it. To her, no matter how bad life in the city was, it was still better than in the countryside.
