wheelchair?
Qin Huairu froze for a few seconds, then abruptly shook off Jia Zhangshi's arm.
“How would I know where the wheelchair went? Jia Dongxu was pushed out of the hospital by the bald man, wheelchair and all. I didn’t see the wheelchair at the hospital either. It was probably taken to pay off gambling debts.”
The wheelchair could at least sell for a dozen or so yuan. Those guys, including the bald guy, were after money anyway, and they've probably already been sold for cash.
After thinking for a moment, Jia Zhangshi realized that she hadn't seen a wheelchair at the hospital that day.
have to!
We finally got some good news, and now it's gone again.
"Mom, give me all the money you have on you. I'll go to the front yard and ask someone about the house." Qin Huairu stretched out her hand to Jia Zhangshi.
The most important thing right now is to find a place to stay, otherwise we'll really have to sleep in the courtyard tonight.
It's quite warm now, and I won't catch a cold sleeping in the yard, but it's still embarrassing!
Jia Zhangshi cursed a few times before reluctantly handing over the money she had to Qin Huairu.
"That's all you have, so use it sparingly."
With Qin Huairu finding a new small house, the Jia family gradually returned to normal.
Qin Huairu stayed home every day to take care of the child and rest during her pregnancy, while Jia Zhangshi went back to her job of pulling a manure cart. The only thing that bothered the people in the yard was that as the weather got hotter, the stench on Jia Zhangshi became more and more obvious.
Especially the two old clothes they wore for work, which Jia Zhangshi washed very carelessly, so much so that no one in the front yard wanted to hang their clothes out to dry with the Jia family.
The steel rolling mill, the canteen manager's office.
Chen Jun leaned back in his recliner, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, looking quite relaxed.
"Oh, if only we could bring the electric fan to the factory."
As the weather gets hotter, Chen Jun misses air conditioning more and more.
Of course, using air conditioning is impractical at this time, and even electric fans from home cannot be used in the factory.
Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.
Then Chen Jun saw Director Song walk in with a cheerful smile.
"Oh my, what brings you here at this hour?" Chen Jun sat up from the recliner and opened the drawer to make some tea for Director Song.
Upon seeing this, Director Song quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop it, I don't want to drink tea on such a hot day."
After saying that, Director Song placed a canning jar on the table. "The purchasing department just received this stuff. Could you fry it up and then season it?"
Chen Jun glanced at it, then became attracted by the contents of the canned food jar.
Golden cicada?
Why would a buyer accept something like this?
"You're quite the gourmand, did you pay for this?" Chen Jun picked up the canned food and examined it closely, estimating that there were at least a hundred pieces inside.
In this day and age, cicadas are not considered valuable. Some people find them disgusting to look at, so they won't catch them if they see them.
But Chen Jun understood that this thing was practically a crayfish on a tree.
No, crayfish are nowhere near as good as cicadas.
First of all, crayfish live in ditches and ponds and are omnivorous, while cicadas suck tree sap when they are young and continue to suck tree sap when they grow up, making them extremely clean.
It has an extremely high protein content and the taste is superb.
When he was a child, Chen Jun liked to catch cicadas with a flashlight in the summer. One cicada could be sold for ten cents, and two could be exchanged for an ice pop.
"Of course I paid, otherwise I wouldn't dare bring it to the cafeteria to find you," Director Song said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and fix it. This stuff is better sautéed than fried."
A whole jar of cicadas, stir-fried until cooked, filled a large plate. Director Song, a doting husband, thought it tasted delicious and took half of it in a lunchbox.
Chen Jun thought this thing was quite rare, so he shared some with the kitchen staff and packed the rest to take home.
On the way back, a gentle breeze began to blow, which felt exceptionally comfortable on my skin.
Unexpectedly, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and by the time Chen Jun returned to the courtyard, the sky had darkened due to the wind.
"Boom!"
A muffled clap of thunder exploded in the sky, and Chen Jun walked out of the house.
"Lin Yao, it's about to rain, quickly push the bicycle inside."
"Coming!" Lin Yao skipped and hopped out of her house, pushing her women's bicycle back inside.
"Brother, why aren't you pushing it?"
Chen Jun pulled a raincoat out from behind him: "Your sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, I'm going to the store to pick her up."
No sooner had he finished speaking than large raindrops began to pelt down.
This was accompanied by a gasp of surprise.
"Oh dear, why did the rain start so suddenly?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jun grinned. Chen Xueru had actually come back on her own.
So Chen Jun reached behind his back and an umbrella appeared out of thin air in his hand, then walked towards Chen Xueru.
The couple pushed the bicycle into the back of the house, and Chen Xueru quickly closed the door.
"The weather can change in an instant. Luckily, I got hungry early, or I would have been soaked to the bone."
Chen Jun looked at Chen Xueru's hair, which was wet from the rain, and took a towel to wipe it for her: "June weather is like a child's face, it can rain anytime. You should bring a raincoat when you go out in the future."
"Um!"
Chen Xueru nodded, seemingly enjoying Chen Jun drying her hair.
Just as she was feeling happy, Chen Xueru noticed a lunchbox on the table.
"Chen Jun, did you bring back some snacks from the factory again?"
Several months into their marriage, Chen Xueru had already figured out Chen Jun's patterns.
If he brings his lunchbox home from get off work, there's always something good in it.
"Director Song bought some cicadas and asked me to make a plate of them for him in the kitchen. They tasted pretty good," Chen Jun replied.
Chen Xueru nodded, and then, without caring whether her hair was dry or not, she opened the lunchbox, pinched a cicada, and put it in her mouth.
In the past, Chen Xueru would not have eaten this stuff.
But since Chen Jun was able to bring it home, the taste must be fine.
"Mmm! This thing is so delicious! It's crispy and fragrant, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes!" Chen Xueru said with sparkling eyes.
After trying one, she couldn't stop.
After eating seven or eight in a row, Chen Xueru reluctantly closed the lunchbox.
"Why aren't you eating?" Chen Jun asked curiously.
"Take the rest to Mom. I'm going to take a shower." Chen Xueru pursed her lips and handed the lunchbox to Chen Jun.
Chen Jun glanced at Chen Xueru's reluctant expression and couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, then you go take a shower first, I'll make dinner. These cicadas can be considered a dish."
Since their marriage, Wang Xia and Chen Xueru have never had a single argument, their harmonious relationship making the other women in the neighborhood extremely envious.
The new clothes that mothers often wear make the older women extremely envious.
Both the style and the material are top-notch.
Even Jia Zhangshi shamelessly asked about the price, and after learning that Wang Xia didn't know the price either, she actually brought a basket of cloth shoes to Wang Xia to exchange for clothes.
The clothes were given to her by her daughter-in-law, so Wang Xia naturally wouldn't change them.
