Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

Chapter 132 A Storm Is Brewing

Originally, going back to her natal family to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year should be full of joy, but Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru are both full of worries at the moment.

Qin Huairu knew that Qin Jingru must have run out of money, so he specially bought things worth more than 10 yuan, and gave Qin Jingru a share, which is very rare.

Qin Huairu's concern is that the life at home is becoming more and more unbearable. The children are growing up, and their appetite is increasing day by day. Every day, there is no oil star in the corn bread and stick noodles. The family's appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

Especially after Banggen stole money last time, Jia Zhang never ate it. His appetite was just like gluttony. He could eat 6 or 7 wotou in one meal, and his appetite was bottomless.

Besides, you have to go to school, so you have to bring a lunch box every day at noon. You can't bring thinner, steamed buns, pickles, and occasionally steamed buns with Erhe noodles, which is also an expense.

Ever since Sha Zhu broke his confession and the uncle broke his confession one after another, his family's living standard has dropped precipitously. Seeing the child licking his tongue every day, Qin Huairu's heart feels like a knife is twisting.

Not to mention meat, even white flour steamed buns are no longer available.

Yesterday on Chinese New Year’s Eve, my family made a meal of Erhe noodles dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage. I didn’t eat any of them. My mother-in-law and stick stems almost ate all the dumplings. Xiaodang and Huaihua couldn’t grab them at all. I’m so greedy Wow straight cry.

These days are really too difficult. Backbone is something that not everyone can have. In the face of reality, many people have bent their backs and chose to bow their heads.

Qin Jingru was worse than her sister. She went back to her natal family on her first Spring Festival after marriage, and she went back alone.

Xu Damao hadn't come back since the last trouble. She was on the verge of extinction. If it wasn't for the hope that Du Weiguo gave her to support her, she would have completely collapsed.

现在她钱还剩2块3毛7分，粮票还剩8斤粗粮票，家里粮食还勉强够吃5天左右的。

She can last for about 20 days, and she will be hungry if she can't make it out of the first month.

But she had already made up her mind, even if she died of starvation and freezing, she would never take the initiative to ask Du Weiguo.

She really didn't have the face to open her mouth.

From this point of view, she seems to be a little bit tougher than Qin Huairu.

With complicated thoughts, the two sisters, who were holding back their faces, returned to the commune with their things, went home separately, and made an appointment to go back to the city together after lunch.

As the only two women who married into the city, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru have always been the envy of the elder girls and younger daughter-in-laws in the village, so they can't lose face, they just know themselves well.

What's more, Bai Lianhua Qin Huairu didn't know that because of Shazhu's bad idea, her sticks had already provoked the anger of the public, and what was waiting for her in the courtyard was not gentle wind and light rain, but violent storms.

The second uncle and the third uncle Zhang Luo held a general meeting of the whole courtyard, and when they connected the various households, they found that Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru had returned to their mother's house.

The storm was brewing, and the voices of Qin Huairu's family getting out of the courtyard became more and more unified, and the wave was higher than the wave, and Sha Zhu was already panicking at this moment.

Damn, let's play off, and things will get worse.

He went to the backyard to find the old deaf lady, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he told the story outright.

The old deaf lady said after listening, "Silly Zhu, tell grandma the truth, do you still miss Qin Huairu?"

Shazhu's head shook like a rattle: "I don't have one. She is a widow with three children, and there is an evil mother-in-law above her. What am I thinking about?"

The old deaf lady raised her drooping eyelids, her small eyes sparkled, "Then take this opportunity to kick this family out of the compound, I think it's fine."

Silly Zhu said with a little embarrassment: "Old lady, the key point is that I gave you the idea of ​​today's New Year's greetings!"

The old deaf lady sneered: "Hehe, you're fine, just return the money to everyone. Just kidding, do you have the money?"

Sha Zhu's face collapsed: "No, there are 6 families with 18 yuan, all of which were taken away by the little bastard BangGong. No one knows where they went."

The old deaf lady said disapprovingly: "Then get him back quickly. How far can he go as a kid? With money in hand, I guess he's going to buy some candies for firecrackers. It's only a few cents away." You fill it up and it's over."

He Yuzhu scratched his hair: "Okay, I'll go out and pet this little brat."

Hehe, everyone underestimates the greatness of other people. How can the robbery of the courtyard house be in vain? The gifted child, today's money is in his worldview, but he earned it by himself, and he has absolute control right.

And he doesn't know how to buy firecracker candy, who does he look down on?His sticky little master wanted to eat meat, but he still ate it with big mouthfuls.

Stick took the money and went directly to the old man who had bought things for him before, asked the old man to exchange the money for meat, and promised to give the old man 5 cents as a favor.

So when Silly Zhu found a stick at the intersection of Hat Alley, the boy was holding two chickens in his hand, two large pieces of pork hanging around his neck, and two large pieces of bacon. It's bulging, and I don't know what it is.

Silly Zhu’s eyes are straight. He is a cook. He is very sensitive to food and value. These things usually cost at least 10 yuan and 8 yuan. If there is no meat ticket, I don’t know how much it is. .

"Bang, how much did you spend?"

"Silly uncle, why are you scolding people?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Silly, it's good for you. I'll buy you a bottle of good wine and give you a chicken. It's interesting."

"You spent all your money?"

"No, there are 2 yuan left! I know the price of meat, so don't try to fool me!"

Damn, silly Zhu couldn't spit out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this. It's a total of 16 yuan, so he spent it like this?Isn't this too arrogant?

Is this still a child?

The money is likely to be paid by him.

Blood loss a wave ah!

Comrade Du Weiguo didn't know anything about the farce in the courtyard, and he was also very embarrassed now. Huang Guilan brought him food at noon today.

Fortunately, Huang Guilan didn't just bring meals to him alone, but also brought a copy to Wang Yang and Bart who were on duty today.

But even Bart's bastard could see that Huang Guilan came to deliver food to Xiao Du today.

It is simply Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!

How much courage did Huang Guilan have to muster?
The lunch box was filled with dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, and it was still steaming hot when it was opened.

Du Weiguo held the lunch box and looked at the embarrassed Huang Guilan opposite, he was also a little embarrassed at this moment.

Chat awkwardly: "Thank you, Comrade Guilan, this dumpling smells really delicious!"

"Thank you, you have helped me so much, and I have nothing to thank you for. It's Chinese New Year, and I'll send you a dumpling to try. Just don't dislike it."

"I don't dislike it, I'm almost drooling."

Huang Guilan smiled: "Hehe, you're just kidding me. You haven't eaten before, and you can still drool when you see dumplings."

Xiao Du said in his heart, you should leave after delivering it!How can I eat if you don't leave?

"Comrade Guilan, have the children at home eaten dumplings?"

Huang Guilan nodded quickly and said, "I ate them all. I'm not lying. I really ate them all. This year's Chinese New Year is the happiest year for our family. Thanks to you."

"Hehe, that's good. I'll make room for you so you can take it away."

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, Chief Du, don't be in a hurry to make up your lunch box."

"it's okay no problem."

Du Weiguo opened the two lunch boxes that Yang Caiyu had packed for him this morning, and poured the dumplings on the lids of the two lunch boxes.

The meals he brought today include a box of white rice, a box of vegetables, braised pork, beef tendons, sausages, meat pieces, cabbage and fungus, basically all leftovers from yesterday, and they are so full that they are about to pop out. up.

Huang Guilan couldn't help feeling bitter when she saw Du Weiguo's lunch box. This is probably the real gap between me and him.

My family can only eat one meal of dumplings with meat in a year. According to Du Weiguo's conditions, even if they eat meat every day, it is not too much.

The gap in reality is as desperate as a natural chasm.
