The New Year is here in the blink of an eye, and three years of hard times are probably about to officially begin.
"Qin Huairu, you still want to go home! Don't tell me those unnecessary things. If you want to go back, just go back. There's no need to tell me those unnecessary things." Jia Zhang cursed loudly in the courtyard.
"Mom..." Qin Huairu just stood there looking at Jia Zhang with tears in her eyes.
You see, at times like this, someone will always come forward.
"My sister Qin, why are you still on the ground? What happened? Did your aunt bully you again?" When Sha Zhu heard that it was Qin Huairu, he ran out.
"Get out of my way, you stupid fool. Who do you think you have the right to speak about my family's affairs?" Jia Zhang cursed.
There were actually two people watching the fun, but all of a sudden the target of their pointing became Shazhu.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Yi Zhonghai came out and said as soon as he heard the noise.
"Look at this aunt from the Jia family, she scolds Sister Qin for no reason." Sha Zhu saw Yi Zhonghai and hurried to complain.
"Sister-in-law?" Yi Zhonghai really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Jia family and Sha Zhu. None of them were clean.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai speaking up, Jia Zhang went over and kicked Qin Huairu: "It's New Year's Day, and you're crying here. If you keep crying, I'll ask Dongxu to divorce you when he comes back."
Afterwards, Jia Zhang took Qin Huairu into the house.
After the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu sternly and said, "What are you doing here? Why do you care about the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"
Sha Zhu said unconvincedly: "How am I meddling in other people's business? I just can't stand Jia Zhang, the evil mother-in-law. Sister Qin is so nice. Master, this is your apprentice's family's business, you have to take care of it."
Instead of saying anything to Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai let Sha Zhu scold him.
"You...you...you take care of yourself." Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he went straight back to the house.
"Do you think what I did made sense? Sister Qin is such a good daughter-in-law, and Jia Zhang is still bullying people during the New Year." Sha Zhu said to the people watching the fun in the yard.
Everyone in the yard looked at him like he was a fool. He Yushui, who had been silent, felt uncomfortable. He lowered his head and walked over to pull Sha Zhu and said, "Brother, come in."
"Why are you coming in? I've done a good thing." Sha Zhu said carelessly.
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu after entering the house.
Jia Zhang's attitude suddenly improved a little and said, "Look how difficult life is at home now. Why do you want to go back? Wait until life at home gets better before you go back."
"I understand." Qin Huairu lowered her head and said this and stopped talking.
Jia Zhang was lying on the kang and sleeping, while Qin Huairu was cleaning the house bit by bit. After all, it was New Year's Day and the house had to be cleaned thoroughly.
Not long after, Jia Dongxu came back with his head down.
"Dongxu, how are you?" Jia Zhang asked as she got up quickly when she saw her son coming back.
"I didn't buy it. People said there is no white flour now. All the white flour has been sold out," said Jia Dongxu.
"Then what are we having for dinner?" Jia Zhang suddenly became dissatisfied.
"Then let's eat cornmeal dumplings. What can I do if I can't buy them?" Jia Dongxu said helplessly.
"You think of another way. If there's nothing else, I'll eat it." Jia Zhang lay down again unhappily.
Jia Dongxu was too lazy to stay in the house, so he went to the kitchen to check on Qin Huairu.
"Dongxu, how about we have some stuffed meat for dinner? If we can't buy it, just forget it." Qin Huairu said. She also heard the conversation in the room.
"Forget it, there's only so much meat, just put it in the dishes later. Just add more oil to the dumplings." Jia Dongxu said.
"Okay, just prepare four dishes." Qin Huairu said.
"That's fine too. How about making two more dishes?" Jia Dongxu asked.
"There's nothing left at home except cabbage," said Qin Huairu.
"Then forget it." Jia Dongxu said.
The Jia family’s last New Year’s Eve dinner consisted of three vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, plus cornmeal dumplings.
The situation of other families is better, but it is not much better at this time.
When Lin Tian met the two brothers of the Liu family in the backyard, he specifically asked them what their family ate.
"Guangtian, what delicious food has your family made?" Lin Tian asked.
"There's nothing delicious. What can I eat?" Liu Guangtian said helplessly.
Lin Tian then took a closer look at Liu Guangtian and discovered that the child was a little malnourished.
Seeing Lin Tian talking to Liu Guangtian in the yard, Liu Haizhong also strolled over.
"Second Uncle, it's New Year's Day, what delicious food are we going to prepare?" Lin Tian asked with a smile.
"Oh, let's stew meat during the New Year." Liu Haizhong said brightly.
Lin Tian rolled his eyes when he saw Liu Guangtian hiding behind his bangs.
"Haha, that's great. Team Leader Liu's family lives a good life." Lin Tian laughed.
"What do you think? It's very easy for me to buy some meat or something." Liu Haizhong raised her head proudly.
"Yes, yes, yes, Team Leader Liu, that's for sure." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Dad, let's stew the meat?" Liu Guangfu suddenly asked.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating." Liu Haizhong suddenly turned hostile and chased Liu Guangfu around the yard.
"Team Leader Liu, I was wrong, I was wrong." Liu Guangfu ran around the yard and received two slaps from Liu Haizhong, then he broke free and ran behind Lin Tian.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, Second Uncle, calm down." Lin Tian said, and quickly grabbed Liu Haizhong.
"This child only knows how to eat every day. What contribution has he made to this family?" Liu Haizhong said angrily.
Then he pointed at Liu Guangtian and his brother and said, "As a punishment, you two are not allowed to eat today."
Lin Tian: ??? You don’t let your child eat during Chinese New Year. Is this really your biological child?
"Not really, not really. It's New Year's Day, don't bother with kids." Lin Tian also felt sorry for these two guys.
"Hmph, for Team Leader Lin's sake, you two are allowed to have dinner today. Why don't you thank your Uncle Lin?" Liu Haizhong shouted at the two children.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin." The two brothers were very obedient after being beaten.
“No, no, no, Uncle, just call me Xiao Lin. How can I be a team leader?” Lin Tian said.
"I heard from Old Yan that you are also a team leader now. We are different from ordinary people." Liu Haizhong asked.
"Haha..." What could Lin Tian say but to smile awkwardly.
"Also, Second Uncle has something to tell you. Next time Director Li comes, you must report to Second Uncle." Liu Haizhong said. Liu Haizhong was still thinking about this matter.
"Second Uncle, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know when they will come. Besides, how can I ask about the leader's whereabouts?" Lin Tian said.
"Yes, yes, it was Second Uncle who let the matter slip." Liu Haizhong said hurriedly when he heard that what Lin Tian said made sense.
It’s just the way this word is used. If Lin Tian hadn’t traveled through time, most people wouldn’t understand it.
