As expected, Shi Weiqiang came to the new hospital after work in the afternoon.
But he was embarrassed to mention that he came to get the money. After all, he came to the new hospital to eat for free several times in the days that followed.
The food at home is really not edible.
Although things were not done well when Yang Dahua was there, it is even harder to handle now that Shi De is in charge.
The bacon at home was gone in a few days, and the steamed cornbread that Shi De made was full of dead dough and was completely inedible.
Shi Xiaoli followed Lu Juanjuan around all day long, leaving the father and son alone at home with nothing to do. Life was impossible.
When Shi Weiqiang entered the house, the old lady and her family were having dinner.
After Su Zhen and Shi Weimin came home from work, the couple helped each other cook in the kitchen.
Today I kneaded the dough and made noodles, stir-fried some cabbage, and boiled some dried beans.
Moreover, the turnips pickled by Su Zhen herself are more delicious than those pickled by Yang Dahua.
Seeing Shi Weiqiang enter the room, Su Zhen called out, "Old Three, come and eat."
Shi Weiqiang didn't hesitate and sat over.
As for Shi Weimin and Lu Huanying, they had no objection either. They knew that the boy was living a poor life in the old house.
The two little guys, Chengcheng and Doudou, had just returned from studying at Uncle Xu's house, and they were not averse to Uncle San's arrival.
Su Zhen knew that Shi Weiqiang was tall and had a big appetite, so she scooped a large bowl of noodles for him.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." He took it and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.
Lu Huanying chewed slowly and swallowed the food in her mouth: "Third brother, did your dad ask you to come and get three yuan?"
Su Zhen and Shi Weimin heard this for the first time and couldn't help but look over.
Shi Weiqiang suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "My dad is a very stubborn person, but grandma, if my second brother doesn't send it back, then forget it!"
The old lady had not yet told Su Zhen and her husband about the letter she received this morning, and they were looking at each other in confusion.
The old lady explained, "I received a letter from Yuzhu this morning. Don't worry, they've sent the three dollars. Since Zhentang promised it himself, they'll give it to you. I'll get it for you after dinner."
"Grandma, Zhentang and Yuzhu haven't been in the army for long. He spent so much money on building a house when he came back this time. I guess he's short on money."
Su Zhen said, "How about letting Weimin and I take care of Dad's share from now on?"
The old lady waved her hand: "No need, Zhentang must do what he says."
Although things have come to this point, Shi Zhentang is Shi De's biological son.
He gives three dollars every month, which seems reasonable in front of outsiders.
Shi Weimin actually has no blood relationship with Shi De.
Shi Weiqiang said gloomily, "My dad went to visit the prison a few days ago. When he came back, he only said that my mom was fine. He didn't mention anything else. I don't even know what the situation is in there now."
"What, Dad has been there?"
Shi Weimin put down his bowl.
After all, that was his biological mother, and he also wanted to hear about what was going on in there.
Shi Weiqiang nodded: "He has been there. He went there quietly without even notifying us. Xiaoli even had a fight with him about it."
"Speaking of Xiaoli, you have to keep an eye on her and don't let her hang out with Lu Juanjuan anymore." The old lady added.
Shi Weiqiang's neck suddenly stiffened: "How can I control her?"
Then he continued, "By the way, when my second sister-in-law went to join the army, she also asked me to take care of her sister from the second commune. As a result, I haven't had time to go see her until now."
Ah, there is such a thing?
This time the whole family stopped eating.
The old lady was even more curious. She never expected that when Yuzhu left, she would choose Shi Weiqiang as the person to protect her sister.
But don’t underestimate what Yuzhu does. If you think about it later, you will find that she has her reasons.
At this moment, he wanted to know more: "Third brother, tell me what happened."
Shi Weiqiang realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he had to tell the whole story of what happened that day.
But in the story he did not say that he was afraid of his second sister-in-law or was forced by her.
Instead, he and his second sister-in-law beat Zhou Ergou to a pulp, so his second sister-in-law gave him this difficult task afterwards.
As for the fact that my second sister-in-law could command the wolves in the forest, I didn't dare to mention it at all.
After listening, the whole family nodded in approval.
"Yuzhu did a good job. Her brother-in-law deserves a good beating."
"Third brother, you are also very sensible."
Shi Weiqiang: “…”
What do you know? He is just afraid of his second sister-in-law.
But later on, thinking about it, his second sister-in-law had never harmed him, but she had allowed him to see some scenes that others had no chance to see.
For example, wolves in the mountains.
After this incident, he was completely obedient to his second sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
In Shi Weiqiang's mind, let alone Quanshui Village, even if he went a few communes away, he would not be able to find another person more capable than his second sister-in-law.
"Well, then this matter will be handled by the third brother."
The old lady immediately came up with an idea.
She turned and went to the cabinet to find the letter. "This is the twenty yuan Yuzhu sent back. She asked me to give it to my sister Tian Ying in two installments. I was worried today. I was afraid that your sister-in-law or brother would get harassed by Zhou Ergou if I asked you to go. Now I think you are the best person to go."
"Ah, grandma, I..." Shi Weiqiang widened his eyes.
"Think about it. Your second sister-in-law told Zhou Ergou in front of her that she wanted you to take care of Tian Ying. Now you go to the Second Commune to visit her sister-in-law and secretly give her the money. Zhou Ergou won't be suspicious at all."
The old lady handed him ten yuan and took out three more: "Take these three back to your father."
"Is this...appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? Just go."
“…”
Shi Weiqiang saw that there was no other way and had to nod and agree.
The old lady told Su Zhen and his wife about the additional thirty yuan worth of national food coupons only after he left.
Su Zhen and Shi Weimin were both upset for a moment: "Zhentang's monthly salary is only 35 yuan, and now he has sent 50 yuan in food coupons and money at once. I don't know how they will make a living."
I originally felt sorry for the young couple.
But the old lady waved her hand optimistically: "You all underestimate Yuzhu's ability. There are many mountains and forests over there. As long as Yuzhu is here, they will never starve."
That being said, the main reason was that the old lady didn’t know that you couldn’t just go up the mountain over there.
But she always felt that Yuzhu would be able to live a prosperous life.
Shi Weimin frowned and said, "Grandma, why don't you send half of the food coupons back to them?"
"If it gets lost while being sent back and forth, wouldn't that be a shame? Don't worry for now. Wait until the new wheat comes to market here, and then use the food coupons to buy flour and send it to them."
The idea was good, so Su Zhen went to inquire about it the next day.
Well, flour is not allowed to be sent, so I can only see if I can send some other seasonal foods.
