Tao Yuye didn't expect that Bai Fendou would get involved out of the blue.
Although this person was defending her, she was still very unhappy. She had just gotten married and her husband was beaten by someone. What was going on? Chen Yuan was even more unhappy. He had been spoiled since he was a child, so how could he stand this?
He couldn't beat Bai Fendou, but he bared his teeth and claws, and shouted in a loud voice: "Bai Fendou, you dead eunuch, you bastard. You are bullying me, right? Do you believe that I will make you carry manure for the rest of your life?"
Bai Fendou didn't dare to show weakness: "Hey, this is for you, come on! If you have the ability, come on! You are still a waste, what can you do? You are relying on your father's ability. Without your father, you are nothing, you know? Nothing!"
"you!"
Bai Fendou was also an expert at verbal battles. He shouted, "Who do you think you are? Look at our factory. Everyone has found their job based on their real abilities. Only you, only people like you, get into the factory through the backdoor. Bah! Are you worthy enough to talk to me? You are worthy enough! Bah!"
"Say it again, say it again, you useless thing, no wonder no one likes you, don't you look at your own character. You still feel good about yourself, right? People like you deserve to never get married, and even if you get married, you will be cuckolded. No one will take care of you in your old age!" Chen Yuan was also very good at scolding people.
Bai Fendou was furious: "You bastard! I'll beat you to death!"
Zhang San hurriedly stopped them: "That's enough, that's enough! If you guys really start to fight, I'll have to go back to the security department to call for help. What are you doing? It's such a good time to celebrate a new house. How unlucky is this? Let's both take a step back and give each other some face, okay?"
Chen Yuan sneered: "What kind of person is he to have face in front of me?"
Bai Fendou: "How can a weakling like you have any respect in front of me? You can't even support a family and you're called a man."
"Hey, if I'm not a man, then what are you? Go out and ask around. Go ask around in this city and everyone knows that you, Bai Fendou, are not a man. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty in front of me?"
"you!"
"you!"
The two men glared at each other.
Everyone was shaking their heads, wondering how these two could suddenly quarrel so fiercely. Then look at Tao Yuye, a beauty who brings disaster.
Tao Yuye was not happy either, but she remembered that she was the first one to move here. No matter how nosy Bai Fendou was, they were the old neighbors, and she was the later one. She was a little bit estranged from the others.
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay. Look at what you are doing! Brother Bai, I know you mean well. But you should stay out of my family's business. Chen Yuan, don't curse people like that. If Dad knows, he will say something about you. It's not good to say such nonsense."
Chen Yuan: "You are a woman, how can you control me?"
Tao Yuye took another deep breath and said, "I'm not controlling you, I just don't want you to lose face."
"You bitch..."
Tao Yuye held Chen Yuan, pushed him back, and said, "Go to Beihai Park, or go somewhere else. When you come back, I'll have everything ready. I guarantee you'll be refreshed."
Chen Yuan glared at Tao Yuye, but Tao Yuye pushed Chen Yuan away and whispered in his ear, "If you continue like this, I'll complain to my dad."
"You nagging bastard, do you think you are still a child? All you know is to complain, bah!" Chen Yuan cursed twice, but he was still very afraid of Tao Yuye's words. He snorted coldly and said to Bai Fendou, "Today, I will not argue with you for the sake of my wife, what a rubbish."
He spat, turned and walked out.
Just as Bai Fendou was about to charge, Tao Yuye quickly stopped him and said, "Bai Fendou, I apologize for what happened just now. I shouldn't have cursed, but you really should stay out of my own business. It's not easy to say that."
Bai Fendou almost choked. He didn't understand why a good man like him, single and lonely, could marry such a good wife who would protect her husband. These girls were really blind! It was really unfair!
Bai Fendou snorted heavily and said angrily, "I am not against the person, I just can't stand what this man who bullies women does, I don't really want to protect you. If it were someone else, I would do the same! Don't take yourself too seriously!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with heavy steps.
Tao Yuye looked a little unhappy after hearing what Bai Fendou said. But she still breathed a sigh of relief, not caring about her husband or Bai Fendou, and quietly went into the house to start working. The others looked at each other with a little more subtlety. It was the first time they had seen such a thing.
Although men want to save face and don't do housework, and women are responsible for washing clothes and cooking, how can they let women do all the important tasks of moving and cleaning the house? This would be very ungentlemanly.
Zhang Saner also leaned in to take a look, and sighed, feeling that this yard was indeed lively, and felt a little excited.
The same thing happened to Pan Pan. They saw a quarrel on the first day of moving! I saw it!
The legendary Bai Fendou is indeed worthy of his reputation.
The couple was so excited that they looked like they had never seen the world before. Zhuang Zhixi looked at them and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"It's okay, it's not a big job, my husband and I can do it. You go and do your thing."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, ask me if you have anything."
"Okay."
Most of the gossip Zhang Saner had heard before came from Zhuang Zhixi, who was his good friend who loved to gossip. He happily returned to his room and continued to work.
Zhuang Zhixi glanced at Tao Yuye, who was working with a sullen face, and then looked at Zhang San and Pan Pan, who were both busy with their smiles. He felt that the contrast was quite strong.
With more neighbors, the compound becomes quite lively.
As a fierce old lady from Northeast China, Aunt Wang couldn't stand this kind of man. He couldn't take responsibility for anything. What kind of man is he? She whispered: "I think Tao Yuye will suffer a lot."
They didn't discuss Bai Fendou's fighting. What was there to discuss about Bai Fendou's fighting? If Bai Fendou didn't fight, that would be strange. Bai Fendou's fighting was a basic operation, and they were not surprised. This person was just very reckless.
The only thing they were curious about was their new neighbors.
Aunt Sui: "Tao Yuye is doing well. She was a temporary worker before, but now she has been made a regular employee. Besides, if there wasn't an old man who is the director of logistics, how could they get a house so quickly?"
It is normal for the factory to distribute housing, but not everyone can get one as soon as they enter the factory. After all, there are not so many houses to be distributed. Their factory has a dormitory building for singles, but there is only a bed in one room, and nothing else can be done. It is okay for a single person to live there, but it is absolutely impossible for a couple to live there. Even the sound insulation is not good. If a new employee who has no accommodation conditions can apply for it.
The factory will basically arrange it immediately, but that is a "dormitory", which is different from this kind of room allocation.
This kind of welfare housing distribution requires at least marriage, and one must wait in line to get a house. However, there is no other way. If their machinery factory is in the suburbs, they can apply to build a family building, but their factory is not in the suburbs.
Basically, new people can only be assigned when someone gives up his position.
There are some rules for “giving up”. This kind of welfare housing is equivalent to personal property. In fact, it is okay to resell it privately. Only those who want to enjoy the second distribution housing will give up the house.
That is the case with the Zhang family. If the Zhang family had not been mobilized for aid, they would have been able to enjoy large-scale housing distribution again. If their family simply quit and moved away, then the other family would have the right to dispose of the house.
It is precisely because they were transferred from related units and were entitled to re-allocation of housing that they gave up their housing.
Of course, the policies of each unit are different, and the nature of the houses may not be the same. It all depends on the policies and nature of the housing allocation of each factory, but their units are basically like this. It is still relatively clear.
The Zhang family still has this situation, and they gave up their house.
Those who did not get a house at this time were left with nothing to do but to show off their magical powers.
So, if Tao Yuye hadn't married Chen Yuan, if Chen Yuan didn't have a father who was the director of logistics, they would never have been able to get this house. After all, logistics is also in charge of these things. Although there are leaders above them, they can always have a say.
No matter what time, there are always people with connections, and his family is like this.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Look, I've been registered for half a year, but I haven't been allocated a spot. It's so hard."
"Come on, forget it. I think you still have a place to stay. You are a single worker in the factory, and you have housing. It's difficult!"
Zhuang Zhixi had never enjoyed the welfare housing distribution from the factory. Now his family was just taking advantage of his father. He had been paying rent for these three and a half rooms before liberation. It was precisely because of the rent he had been paying before liberation, and because there were many children in the family, that the machinery factory was taken over by a large state-owned enterprise after liberation. His family was still allocated three and a half rooms as welfare housing.
But actually three and a half rooms are not a small number. That is why Zhuang Zhixi wants to apply again. Although he is qualified, he really doesn't know when it will be built. Unless he builds a new family compound, there may be some possibility.
Zhuang Zhixi: "It seems that I can only wait for my wife."
Mingmei raised her hand and answered, "I've also applied, but it's hard to say when I can get a job. The situation in our unit is similar to that of the machinery factory."
They both applied for the insurance at their respective workplaces, but if one of them is approved, the other will basically be unable to apply. After all, the benefits cannot be taken by one family alone.
Zhao Guihua suddenly spoke up at this time: "For those who have a place to live, it is quite difficult to get a room."
She looked at her son and daughter-in-law and thought about the housing allocation. To be honest, her family was not very lucky in this matter. Three years later, her eldest son was allocated a tube-shaped building, about 50 square meters, which was not bad, but it was an old building from the 1940s.
It has been thirty-five or thirty-six years since they separated into different houses. If you say it is good, it sounds really good, but who would have thought that this house would still be there more than fifty years later, just before Zhao Guihua was reborn.
That house is so shabby, it's a shame to look at.
Although it is located within the Second Ring Road, it is really impressive. However, the house is too old and looks run-down. Moreover, it was said to be demolished and renovated in the early 1990s, but it was not moved until 2002.
It started because of some stubborn residents.
Later, it became about maintaining old buildings.
Later, Zhao Guihua watched various short videos and saw the dilapidated building of her eldest son's house. If you want to say it is valuable, it is worth some money, after all, it is a house on the second ring road. But if you want to live in it, it is really uninhabitable. Only some young people who want to save money dare to rent here.
Not only are the kitchen and toilet outside, but we can't make any small changes indoors. Who knows if the walls will be damaged? What if they collapse?
If we talk about relocation, no one will move; if we talk about living here, no one can live there.
It looks like a second-ring house, an old building, but to the actual owner, it is still useless. After all, for the old people of the city, there are better choices at any time. In addition, the ownership and use rights of this house are separated. The ownership belongs to the railway, and the use rights belong to the individual employees.
The eldest son's family was screwed by this house, and because of this house, they could not get another house. In the end, they had to buy a house on their own.
The third brother’s luck in housing allocation was not much better than the eldest brother’s. His family was allocated a normal house, Mingmei’s, also a tube-shaped building, an old house. But that house was better than the eldest brother’s, although it was an old house, that is, a four or five-year-old house, it was considered a second-hand house.
But who would have thought that just as Mingmei was allocated a house, the machinery factory announced that it would build a family housing building, and Zhuang Zhixi lost the qualification to be allocated a house by the machinery factory. The two sides could not be compared in terms of location or area.
This made the couple angry.
When Zhao Guihua thought about this, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly. Their luck in getting a room was really average.
"Guihua, why don't you say anything? Why are you shaking your head?" Aunt Wang looked at her elder sister Zhao Guihua who was still silent, and asked curiously. Zhao Guihua said, "I was thinking, this house division is really a big deal."
"Of course not."
At this time everyone thought of Aunt Su. Although Aunt Su was not a very good person, she was really quick-witted. Relying on her dead husband and dead son, she managed to secure four principal rooms for the Su family.
Even if three boys get married, the house is enough.
You say this is smart or not, but most people really can't figure it out.
Zhao Guihua couldn't help but ask, "Wang Xiangxiu, what's the situation with your mother-in-law? Has she been sentenced?"
Wang Xiangxiu shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't been there."
In fact, the police station had contacted her two or three times, saying that Aunt Su wanted to see her, but Wang Xiangxiu refused. She didn't want to see her mother-in-law at all. She had not received much education, and her brain was not very bright.
She didn't want to see Aunt Su again and didn't want to be deceived by her again.
She didn't want to meet him. First, she really hated Aunt Su. Second, she was afraid that she would be deceived by her sweet words again. After all, she was not a smart person. What if she was tricked? And because she was not smart, she would not blame herself. Instead, she felt that her decadence and sadness over the years were all because of Aunt Su, so she hated Aunt Su. Meet him? She was determined not to meet him.
She would rather raise her child alone, live a harder life, and be a good person.
People like this, don't even think about influencing her anymore.
She said: "She did come to see me, but I didn't want to see her."
She looked towards the house and said, "I don't have time to see her. I have to support my family."
Now Jinlai and Yinlai have been discharged from the hospital, but the two children are not in school and are all recuperating at home. Jinlai is actually already well, but because his leg is broken, she dare not let him do strenuous activities, and he still needs to stay at home for three to five months to recuperate. After all, she doesn't want her son to become a cripple.
And Yinlai…Yinlai was injured inside, so he would need to be taken care of for three to five years, not to mention three to five months. She had already arranged for Yinlai to drop out of school, as Yinlai’s physical condition would not allow him to go to school in the short term.
Jin Lai will wait until he is well before sending him to school.
Aunt Wang saw that Wang Xiangxiu really didn't understand, so she said, "I did hear a little bit."
"Um?"
Everyone looked at her. Aunt Wang said, "I heard from the people on the street that Aunt Su reported and exposed several people who made money by gambling and cheating people out of rent before liberation."
Porn, gambling and drugs are inseparable, and they are all connected to each other. They work together to make money, so it's not surprising to say that Aunt Su knows something.
But it has been so many years. Aunt Su has left Bada Hutong for thirty-seven or thirty-eight years, but she can still remember the people from that time and knows a lot of details. You can tell how scheming she is just by looking at her.
Aunt Wang: "I just heard that she recognized someone when she was buying something about ten years ago. She was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, but now she has become an old lady. No one can recognize her. But she recognized someone. She followed them for a while and found out what those people were doing. She said that these people are still not honest. But she didn't say it. She was arrested. In order to gain merit, she confessed a lot. Otherwise, this person is really not simple. She has hidden a lot of secrets."
"My mother."
"This Aunt Su, I really can't tell."
This person deeply demonstrated to everyone what it means to "don't judge a book by its cover".
“I don’t know when the verdict will be made.”
"We have to wait a while. She should have been sentenced, but she confessed a lot more and it's still under review."
As the dean of the school, Aunt Wang really knows a lot.
When she said this, everyone was shocked.
Even Wang Xiangxiu was no exception. She was really scared now. How could she dare to live with such a person for more than ten years? She was also tricked to death, which was already a great misfortune. She was originally a little resentful, but now she felt strangely cold.
Fortunately, it is fortunate to think about it.
Probably because Aunt Su was mentioned, Bai Fendou also came out. He stood aside and listened for a while, then said, "Good people don't live long, but evildoers last a thousand years."
That is true.
At this time, Aunt Zhou noticed that Bai Fendou was carrying a bucket and preparing to go out. She asked curiously, "Bai Fendou, what are you doing...?"
Bai Fendou: "A friend of mine has a leaking house, so I went to fix it for her. Otherwise, it would be miserable when it gets cold or rains in winter. She has five children, and if the house is leaking, the children will suffer."
Everyone looked at Wang Xiangxiu silently. Wang Xiangxiu lowered her head silently and continued pasting paper boxes. It was as if she didn't hear anything.
Bai Fendou: "Okay, I'm leaving."
Zhou Qun immediately spoke up: "You must be going to Guan Guiling's place. She... that's not right. She has four children! Do you have other widows to help?"
Isn't this guy too playful?
Bai Fendou raised an eyebrow and said, "What nonsense! I went to Guan Guiling's place. We are all old classmates and old friends. Shouldn't I help her? She is having a hard time. It's okay for me to help her a little more. At least she knows how to be grateful. She said good things after I helped her. Unlike some people, I clearly helped her but she still tried to cheat me."
He looked at Wang Xiangxiu.
Wang Xiangxiu: “…”
He added: "It's not like some people. I was obviously helping her, but I still got scolded. Haha."
This time he looked in the direction of Tao Yuye's house. Tao Yuye was about to go out to buy paint.
Tao Yuye: “…”
Bai Fendou sneered and said, "At least they know how to be grateful."
"No, I heard that Guan Guiling has four children." Zhou Qun scratched his head.
Bai Fendou: "What four? She told me that she has five children, the oldest is ten years old. Where did you get this information? You got it wrong."
Zhou Qun: "I..."
His eyes fell on Mingmei, and he quickly asked, "Xiaozhuang's wife, you two work in the same unit, right? Tell me, how many children does Guan Guiling have?"
Mingmei pursed her lips and said, "I heard there were four. Bai Fendou, you must have made a mistake. As for how old they are, I don't know, but her children don't seem to be very old."
Zhou Qun got Mingmei's response and immediately stood up and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you see, Mingmei and she are from the same unit, Mingmei said four, so there must be four children in his family. It's not five at all."
Bai Fendou frowned and said impatiently, "Maybe you made a mistake, or maybe she made a slip of the tongue. Isn't this normal? What's the big deal? Is there any need to worry about it?"
He waved his hand: "I'm leaving."
Bai Fendou waved his hand and left.
He left, and everyone fell into a brief silence again.
After a long pause, Aunt Zhou said, "A mother like this wouldn't make a mistake with her own children, right? How could a mother in the world be like this?"
"Did Bai Fendou remember it wrongly?"
"It's possible."
Zhou Qun: "I think Bai Fendou can't be wrong. He is Guan Guiling's licker. He is so happy. He remembers every word Guan Guiling says. How could he be wrong? I think there is something fishy about this."
"What's the trick?"
Zhuang Zhixi added, "Either Guan Guiling counted her ex-husband as her child and tricked Bai Fendou into raising them together; or, she is pregnant with another one."
“Ah, this…”
For a moment, no one knew what to say.
Even Tao Yuye, who was passing by, stopped and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhang Saner and his wife also came out to listen to the gossip, and they were shocked.
Zhuang Zhixi's words shocked everyone, but Zhou Qun clapped his hands in agreement: "Xiao Zhuang is right, I guess these are the two situations, there is no other."
He said: "I think Bai Fendou is going to be fooled again this time."
Aunt Wang was disappointed: "You reminded him, but he didn't listen."
Zhao Guihua: "Indeed, he won't be tripped by one woman twice, but he will be tripped by two women twice."
“Ah, this…”
It seems to make sense.
Everyone shook their heads and clicked their tongues.
Although Tao Yuye wanted to listen for a while longer, she knew that she couldn't do that. She had to clean up the house and leave in a hurry. Zhao Guihua looked at her from behind and lamented that marrying into a rich family was not so easy.
In her previous life, Tao Yuye married Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan has a background. His father is the logistics director of a machinery factory. His position is not particularly high, but it is a position of real power. His mother is the deputy director of the Third Pastry Factory. It is also a very good unit. Both his parents are capable people. Chen Yuan's family has only one married sister who works as an accountant in a food factory.
Chen Yuan is the youngest son.
In their previous life, Chen Yuan and Tao Yuye did not move into their yard, so they didn't know what the situation of this family was. However, Tao Yuye looked like a successful person who had "married into a wealthy family". She had good food, clothing and other necessities, and many girls in the factory were targeting her.
After all, who doesn't want to live a better life?
That's what everyone thinks.
However, judging from what happened today, although it means "marrying into a cadre family", it may not be smooth sailing.
At least Chen Yuan doesn't look like a person who is easy to worry about.
"Why does Chen Yuan live in our yard instead of the apartment?" Aunt Sui muttered, "Isn't he an only child?"
Zhou Qun: "Who knows? But I guess it may be that there is not enough space at home? I heard that Director Chen's parents, that is, Chen Yuan's grandparents, live with their family. If they live together as a family, they must not be able to live separately. Besides, why not take advantage of it? And I think that a newly married daughter-in-law definitely doesn't want to live with her parents-in-law and grandparents. There are all elders above, how tiring it would be? So they strived for welfare housing and came to our yard."
"I guess so."
Zhao Guihua doesn't think so.
But she was speechless.
Everyone was talking about the newly moved young couple, and Zhang San and Pan Pan did not stay. Instead, they went home together to paint again. There were really a lot of places to clean up in the house, but fortunately it could be done in one day.
Pan Pan poked Zhang San quietly and said, "The plump one is Wang Xiangxiu, right?"
She had heard all the gossip about Wang Xiangxiu from Zhang San.
Zhang San nodded: "It's her. She is a god."
Although many people outside believed in Wang Xiangxiu's innocence, Zhang San, as an insider, did not believe it. He knew that Li Si from their security department, Wang Er Laizi, and... anyway, several of them were her lovers.
He knows the price.
However, he did not say more about these things, in order to avoid his wife thinking that he was not serious.
I swear to God, even though he was a foul-mouthed man, he really had never flirted with her.
"You didn't see her mother-in-law. She was a deity. But she's been arrested now. This courtyard is much more lively. That Aunt Zhou..."
The young couple gossiped quietly while working, and they felt that cleaning the house was not tiring at all. While they were working at home, the people in the yard were still pasting paper boxes. They pasted paper boxes whenever they had free time.
However, there are not many jobs of this kind left. Once the work is completed, there will probably be no more this year. What a pity.
But fortunately, I did make some money.
"Auntie Wang, can we have such a good thing next year?"
"Alas, good things don't come often."
Everyone laughed and said, "That's not true. Who can celebrate Chinese New Year every day?"
"This is the last batch. It will be handed in tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Once it's handed in, shall we go up the mountain?"
"Okay."
They had been going up the mountain together for the past few months, and the harvest was quite good. There might not be any great treasures, but they had found a lot of mountain products. Not to mention other things, the cellar of Zhao Guihua's family was full.
Although there is a shortage of food outside now, Zhao Guihua's family has no shortage of food.
"Zhao Guihua, pick up the parcel list. There is a parcel for you."
When Zhao Guihua heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "Hey."
She signed for the parcel slip and was overjoyed.
Aunt Wang knew immediately: "It was sent by your second son, right?"
Zhao Guihua: "No, it's probably salted fish."
Zhuang Zhixin lives in Haiou and has no shortage of these things. She sends a lot of salted fish to her parents' home every autumn.
Don't underestimate salted fish, nowadays salted fish is a good thing. It is a meat dish. When steamed with Chinese snow mustard, it tastes delicious!
"Your daughter is very filial."
"I told you to say this. Your Li Fang is so nice."
"That's right."
Li Fang didn't chat with everyone here, but pulled two pregnant women, Mingmei and Jiang Lu, together to teach them. These two were first-borns and could not compare with Li Fang.
They all sat on the porch at the door of the banker's house.
Li Fang looked at the two people who both had long hair and said, "Before giving birth, you should both cut your hair short. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it later."
Jiang Lu: "Why?"
It seems like everyone does this, but they have had long hair since they were young, so they are used to it and are a little reluctant to cut it short.
Mingmei also nodded.
Li Fang: "After giving birth, you have to stay in confinement for a month. You can't go out, wash your hair or take a bath for a month. If you don't cut your hair short, your hair will be so disgusting that you will vomit it out."
"Ah, yes, yes, that's true." Mingmei thought of her sister-in-law. These things were indeed not allowed during the confinement period. She said decisively: "Then I have to cut my hair short."
She didn't want her hair to be so oily that it could be used for cooking. That would be too disgusting. When she thought that she might not be able to tidy it up for a month, she wailed and said, "I will be so dirty."
Li Fang laughed and said, "We are in confinement in winter, which is already pretty good. Just imagine what it would be like if we were in confinement in summer."
After saying this, everyone felt much more comfortable. It turns out that people always need to compare.
Thinking about the pain and difficulty of confinement during the summer, although it is cold in the winter, not having to go out is already a good thing.
In summer, everyone will go stale.
"You also need to prepare some brown sugar and eggs in advance."
The two nodded again in approval.
Although the food shortage this year is quite obvious, it is just a shortage, not the kind that we can't survive, unlike the three years before. It may be a little difficult, but it is not a life-threatening matter. Eggs and other things can still be bought according to the quota.
Jiang Lu whispered: "I plan to buy some on the black market."
At this time, black things are the first choice.
If they buy normally, the quantity is limited and they can't buy much.
After all, eggs can now be used as hard currency in some mountain villages, which shows their value.
"you go?"
"I'll let Zhou Qun go."
Li Fang rubbed his temple and said, "My Yang Lixin wouldn't dare."
Yang Lixin is not very timid, otherwise he would not have let Bai Fendou trick him.
Of course, it is true that his family wanted to take advantage of people, but Bai Fendou did not take advantage of them easily. Even if they didn't say it, it can still be analyzed.
She sighed and said, "Let's keep it this way. We won't go to the black market. I'll ask Yang Lixin to go to the countryside and see if there's anyone in the village willing to make the change."
Yang Lixin is a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family. The rural area where his family lives is very close to the old city.
Of course, if he lived in a remote village like Wang Zhaodi, it would be impossible for someone to introduce him to the city as an apprentice. If he had not been an apprentice to Chef Li, he would not have been able to become a live-in son-in-law.
He went back to their village to ask, and it was normal.
Mingmei: "Let's ask Brother Zhixi. He should have a solution."
Although they all raised chickens, it was definitely not enough, and the unit's quota was not enough. After all, it was confinement.
There are no other nutritional supplements at this time. The most important nutrition during confinement is eggs.
"This old hen we bought is really worth it."
The hens they bought laid quite good eggs.
The Zhuang family and Li Fang's family both have children who go to dig worms, and Jiang Lu's family has Wang Zhaodi. The same is true for the old hens. They eat well and lay eggs frequently. It's really good. Didn't you see? Even Wang Xiangxiu has started raising chickens.
But his chickens are a little worse. After all, there is a complete difference between feeding them insects and not feeding them insects.
But it is true that Wang Xiangxiu's family is too busy. Jinlai and Yinlai are both lying in bed. Tonglai is fine, but he is young and has to get out of school. After school, he can't go far away to dig insects and earthworms by himself.
He used to live with his two older brothers, so he didn't have many friends.
If I go far away, even Wang Xiangxiu will be worried, because this is the only healthy child she has now.
So his old hens are obviously a little inferior, but two old hens can at least provide one egg a day, which is still suitable.
"Although our courtyard is noisy, the people are at least smart. You see, everyone immediately took action when they knew the benefits of raising chickens. There is a courtyard with three entrances in our back street. They wanted to raise chickens, but the people in the courtyard held a meeting. In the end, they rejected it, saying that it would damage the environment of the courtyard. Isn't it funny? The policy allows a family to raise two chickens, but their courtyard does not allow it. They really take chicken feathers as an order and take themselves seriously. And the people in their courtyard actually listened to them. I don’t know if they have eaten dogs.”
"The academy's supervisor doesn't have that much power."
"Who said it wasn't? And why hold a conference?"
Mingmei thought about it and said with a smile: "If this happened in our yard, anyone who dared to say that we can't keep a dog would be beaten directly, believe it or not."
"puff!"
“That’s right.”
Although the people in their compound can cause trouble, they are really not afraid! They are all very tough. Except for a few families who are more likely to cause trouble, the others are not very honest. Take their Zhuang family for example. They don't seem to get involved in many things, but if anyone dares to provoke them, Zhao Guihua will dare to scold them directly.
This is not afraid of fighting.
"Of course not. Besides, it's not dirty at all. Chicken manure can be used in many ways."
This is also true. It was Zhao Guihua's idea. Zhao Guihua asked Zhuang Laonian to nail a wooden box for her. It was not a traditional wooden box. It was about one meter long, half a meter wide, and about half a meter high, without a lid.
Well, this isn’t called a wooden box, it’s more of a storage compartment.
Zhao Guihua dug black soil on the mountain and planted her own peppers, and used the chicken manure, but it was not enough.
Seeing this, several other chicken farmers quickly followed suit and placed this thing outside the window to grow vegetables. They didn't occupy space in the yard, let alone open up wasteland in the yard, but if they placed it under their own window, it was not impossible to bring it into the house if they wanted to.
Zhao Guihua prefers spicy food, so she chose chili peppers. Some people don't like chili peppers, so planting some onions is also a good idea. So don't say that it destroys the environment of the compound, because the environment of their compound is very good.
Chicken manure is not a bad thing.
This saves money on buying chili peppers.
Even though she didn't seem to have done anything in the past year, Zhao Guihua was actually influencing the people in the compound. At least in her previous life, they were not as relaxed as they are now.
Throughout this life, every household has some stock.
Because Zhao Guihua and her friends went to the suburbs and mountains frequently, everyone else was also very busy.
Mingmei and her friends were gossiping about everything, and Zhao Guihua and her friends were also discussing going up the mountain tomorrow. Zhang Saner came out to throw away the garbage and heard it, and quickly said, "Aunt Zhao, can we go with you?"
Zhao Guihua: "That mountain is not mine either, so let's go. Do you have a bicycle?"
If you don’t have a car, you have to take the bus, which invisibly increases costs.
Zhang Saner smiled and said, "My wife has it."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock. Oh, that's not right. You don't have work tomorrow?"
Tomorrow is Monday, and generally speaking, only housewives like them have more free time.
Besides, they painted the house today, so they definitely can’t move in tonight.
Zhang San: "I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. Our security department has a night shift, so my day off is different from others."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, come over tomorrow."
Zhang Saner chuckled and said, "Okay."
He sighed: "It's great to be able to live here. I used to look forward to living in the same yard with you ladies."
Zhou Qun: “Haha.”
Don't think I don't know that you are also a gossip.
Aunt Zhou was not very natural either. After all, she had suffered in the security department. But it was not Zhang Saner who deliberately pushed her against the water pipe. This guy was mainly running back and forth to watch the fun, so although it was embarrassing, he could not just ignore it.
"Is your wife at work?"
"Well, she's at work, so I'll go by myself."
Zhao Guihua sighed: "I didn't expect the Zhang family to move away."
This was something that had never happened in her previous life. In her previous life, the Zhang family did not go to other places to assist in construction, so naturally they did not move away. I don’t know if it was some kind of effect of her rebirth, but in this life, their family actually moved away.
"No, I didn't expect that."
“That’s right.”
Zhou Qun: "Ah, you don't know?"
"Know what? Do you know why they want to move away?" Zhao Guihua asked.
Zhou Qun immediately became proud. No gossip could escape him.
He said: "The reason why the Zhang family decided to move away is that they didn't want their daughter to go to the countryside. The daughter of Old Yu from the fifth workshop of our factory had an accident while going to the countryside. Anyway, it was quite pitiful. This really scared a lot of people. The Zhang family loved their daughter, so naturally they were cruel and found a way out for their daughter. Besides, his family didn't suffer any loss by going to the aid construction. There were many benefits. So they decided to leave."
"How do you know that?"
Zhou Qun: "I went to ask Brother Zhang..."
Everyone waited: "..."
You are such a nice person.
Zhao Guihua also suddenly realized it, but she had never heard of Old Yu's daughter in her previous life... But think about it, it's not surprising that she, a housewife, didn't know about it. But the Zhang family made different choices in two lifetimes.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to the post office to pick up my stuff."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll go with you."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay."
Of course it's good to have a laborer.
When Zhao Guihua went out with her son, she was not thinking about her daughter's package, but about the letter from her daughter.
Although she knew that she could live on the island, as a mother she couldn't completely stop worrying about her daughter. She pushed her bicycle to the post office, but before she got there, she saw Tao Yuye carrying a big bag across the street.
Zhao Guihua sighed: "How can it be so easy to marry into a cadre family?"
Zhuang Zhixi said, "Mom, can you imagine that? During the blind date conference, Chen Yuan was just a dog who licked Tao Yuye's side. After getting married, things were really different. He also showed it too obviously."
Zhao Guihua counted the days and said, "It won't be that long."
The blind date conference was at the end of September and it’s November now, so how long is it?
"Who says it's not true? During the blind date meeting, several male comrades surrounded Tao Yuye and showed their courtesy to her, including the factory director's nephew. At that time, Chen Yuan was also there, and he was so gentle and considerate. But now... look at his attitude today. He is completely different. But now is different from the past. At that time, he was pursuing Tao Yuye and was one of the many admirers around her, so naturally he had to behave well. He hoped to win her heart. But now, Tao Yuye is already his wife, so naturally she is not so precious anymore."
Zhuang Zhixi knew that some people were like this, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he really thought it was amazing.
It's already difficult for a human being to reach this point.
After hearing this, Zhao Guihua stared at Zhuang Zhixi and said, "He is not a good person. We can't do this. I don't ask you to be a good person. If you don't have a little trick, you will be cheated to death. But don't be so bad to your own people and your wife. What a jerk! You should have less contact with such people, and don't learn from them. This kind of rubbish will not have a good end in the future."
Zhuang Zhixi said with a smile: "Mom, I know this. Besides, he is the son of a cadre, how could he play with me. Of course, I don't want to hang out with old men either. Isn't my wife soft and fragrant?"
Zhao Guihua: "Be serious."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
The mother and daughter took the parcel and walked back together. Zhuang Zhixi pushed the cart and said, "What did my sister send? It's quite heavy."
Zhao Guihua complained: "You didn't say Shen when you were eating."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You know, why is my eldest brother out driving again? Otherwise, he can help me. I'm also very tired recently."
Zhao Guihua: "You told me to be lazy."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…” I feel very aggrieved.
He glanced at them and said, "Hey, isn't that Chen Yuan?"
This guy really couldn't help but talk about it. They were just discussing this guy, and then they turned around and saw this guy. He followed a few men, all riding bicycles, with smiles on their faces, and turned directly into the park.
Each one of them was very ostentatious, ringing the bells and making a lot of noise.
Although Zhao Guihua was reborn, she was also an old-fashioned person. She shook her head and said, "He doesn't look like someone who can live a normal life."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who cares about them?"
"That's right."
The mother and son didn't think much of Chen Yuan, and of course, Chen Yuan didn't think much of them either.
Chen Yuan came from a wealthy family. His parents were well off. He was the only son in his family and was very spoiled. He thought he was different from others. How could he look down on those uneducated people who grew up in the compound? He had his own friends, all of whom came from well-off families.
There are a few ordinary ones who also serve as their lackeys.
A group of them rode their bikes to the park to play. One of them, a man with a pockmarked face, asked curiously, "Brother Chen, how is it? How does it feel to have defeated so many competitors and married our factory beauty?"
Chen Yuan chuckled, feeling somewhat proud. He had defeated many rivals by marrying this wife.
But, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just like that after sleeping with each other. Women just want something new, right? But now I think I regret it."
"how?"
Everyone gathered around immediately, very curious.
Some people also curled their lips, thinking that he was taking advantage of the situation.
Chen Yuan: "I pursued her before because she was good-looking and many people pursued her. But she rejected me time and time again, so shouldn't I give her face to save her face? I care about face, and I only thought about it at that time. But dating is really different from getting married. Now I understand why my parents didn't agree with us being together. Now that we are married, I think it's just so-so. Her family conditions are really ordinary, and she herself is a fool who has never seen the world. If it weren't for my family, would she have a formal job? It's so funny. With her level, she can't even give an injection. What is she bragging about? If it weren't for her aunt and uncle-in-law, she wouldn't even be qualified to work as a temporary worker in the factory."
"Oh, Brother Chen, you are so heartless. This factory beauty that everyone yearns for is nothing in your mouth."
Chen Yuan waved his hand casually: "I tell you, this family with average conditions is really despised. She has no knowledge. She can't even use a flush toilet, tut tut. I am really... oh, you don't know, my family made a money egg, but she has never eaten it. She is really unworldly. I don't dare to take her out now, it's embarrassing to take her out."
"Brother Chen, look how ruthless you are. People who haven't eaten the money egg will be laughed at. The conditions are a little worse, so you can teach slowly? It's okay as long as you are good-looking. You have defeated so many people. You don't know how many people will hate you if you go to the machinery factory and say something bad about Tao Yuye. It's really exciting to think about it. You married the factory belle! The factory belle!"
Chen Yuan: "That's right. There are people who like what I don't like. Do you know Bai Fendou, the toilet cleaner? He acts like a dog when he sees my wife. When I scolded her, he almost came up to beat me. He hated me so much. It was as if I had stolen his beloved girl. He didn't know that his beloved girl was nothing to me."
Speaking of this, Chen Yuan became proud again.
There is nothing good about Tao Yuye, but she really satisfies his vanity.
The girl that others would like to hold as a goddess in their hands is nothing in front of him. This feeling is very satisfying.
He smiled and said, "Believe it or not, even if I dumped Tao Yuye, there would be many people who would like to take over. My standards are so high."
"Brother Chen is awesome."
"Chen Yuan, please behave yourself. Tao Yuye is a very nice person."
Chen Yuan laughed arrogantly: "Look, this is someone trying to stand up for the weak. Oh, by the way, guess what Tao Yuye is doing now? She is doing housework for me. She told me to come out and play, hey!"
Everyone looked at Chen Yuan with envy. Although Tao Yuye's family conditions were not particularly good, they were not particularly bad either. Moreover, she was beautiful and capable. Chen Yuan was really lucky! However, it was obvious that this guy didn't appreciate his blessings.
But this has nothing to do with them.
We are just hanging out together and we are not real friends.
"Hey, Brother Chen, why did you move to the hutong? It's so inconvenient. You have to go to the alley to use the toilet."
"Who said it wasn't? I just can't get used to it."
"I don't want to live in that kind of shabby place either."
Chen Yuan was not happy either. Who would like to live in a bad place? His house was a building of more than 100 square meters.
However, Chen Yuan did not tell the truth. He just said, "My parents wanted me to exercise a little. They said that I can't lift anything at home. They wanted me to go out and exercise. I thought so and agreed. Who would have thought that I would regret it after seeing the house."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Yuan also smiled, but there was a calculation of his own in his eyes.
This idea of a married couple living together and exercising is not possible.
Actually, it was not like that. This was actually his mother's idea. His mother secretly discussed it with him and his wife. Their idea was to occupy the house first. Although it was just one room, it was just right. After all, this house was not intended for Chen Yuan and his wife to live in, but for Chen Yuan's grandparents.
One room is just enough for the old couple.
This is what they wanted, but the old couple were not from the factory and had no right to ask for a house.
They could only adopt a roundabout policy, letting Chen Yuan and Tao Yuye request separate rooms, and then live there for a year or two, or even less, as long as Tao Yuye got pregnant. She could go back to take care of the baby, and then let her grandparents live in the compound because there were too many people at home and there was not enough space.
Once you stay here, don't even think about coming back.
They don't want to live with old people.
And this is a roundabout policy.
Not only can they preserve their reputation as filial piety, but they can also get rid of two old people who are always nagging and ignorant. His father won't be unhappy. When the old people die, they can rent out the house or sell it secretly.
This kills two birds with one stone.
But he couldn't say these words to anyone else.
Although Chen Yuan was not a good person, he grew up in such a family after all, so he had his share of calculations. As for the people in the compound, they were nothing and not worth his efforts.
He is too lazy to even pay attention.
