New Year, new hope. Niu Ping'an spent the entire afternoon cleaning his doghouse.

In the evening, workers came back from get off work one after another.

As soon as Qin Huairu returned to the Jia family, she discussed the New Year's arrangements with Jia Zhang.

"Mom, let's celebrate the New Year with Sha Zhu's family this year!"

Jia Zhang nodded, she was more than happy to do so.

Sha Zhu has skills and his family has few people, so the Jia family gets a great deal if the two families get together to celebrate the New Year.

"Well, ask him to prepare more New Year's goods."

Jia Zhang gave the order as a matter of course.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes secretly, but did not object.

She thought so subconsciously. Who told Sha Zhu to be the blood bag of her Jia family?

"But, aren't you going to call Yi Zhonghai?"

Now Yi Zhonghai is the only one left in the Yi family, and Jia Zhang has set her eyes on his New Year's goods.

Qin Huairu frowned, somewhat undecided.

"Mom, Sha Zhu and Master Yi are not compatible right now, don't let them end up getting into trouble."

Although Yi Zhonghai was demoted one level, the pension money he had saved for many years was also taken away by his wife.

But Yi Zhonghai couldn't spend much of the monthly salary of a seventh-level fitter, which was more than 80 yuan.

Qin Huairu was naturally very greedy.

But when she thought about the relationship between Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu could only choose one between the two.

When it comes to eating, Sha Zhu has an absolute advantage.

Not only do I have good skills, but I also have the convenience of work and can get ingredients more easily.

Apart from money, Yi Zhonghai is not as good as Sha Zhu in terms of food.

"You, you are too short-sighted.

Ask Yi Zhonghai to bring some New Year's goods over, and when Sha Zhu is done, you can give them to him."

Jia Zhang pointed out Qin Huairu with a look of disappointment.

"Is this okay? Don't let the fool make a scene!"

Qin Huairu was still a little hesitant.

Shazhu is a fool, and she can't stop him if he gets upset.

"You can just help him prepare the New Year's Eve dinner then!"

Jia Zhang didn't take it seriously. Sha Zhu was a little stunned, but he was easy to fool.

As long as Qin Huairu accompanies him in cooking, given Sha Zhu's personality, he may not be able to notice whether there are too many or too few dishes.

"I'm doing this for your own good. You don't want to cook for Yi Zhonghai during the New Year, do you?

New Year’s Eve dinner is very time-consuming! ”

Seeing that Qin Huairu was still hesitant, Jia Zhang advised again.

"Row!"

Qin Huairu didn't want to be a scalper, so she was happy to have some free time.

Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were a little excited. If Yi Zhonghai accepted Qin Huairu's suggestion, the Jia family would have three New Year's gifts this year.

Wouldn't it be nice to eat a full meal?

After preparing dinner for the Jia family, Qin Huairu went to the Yi family.

Yi Zhonghai had become accustomed to Qin Huairu's care. When he returned home, he would make tea and rest, waiting for her to come over to cook.

The labor fee is only five dollars a month, it’s worth it!

In order to save more money for retirement, Yi Zhonghai lives a relatively simple life.

The staple food is mainly steamed bread.

Qin Huairu was good at housework and she skillfully kneaded and steamed the steamed bread.

"Uncle Yi, how are you going to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Qin Huairu was busy with the work at hand and asked casually.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's heart ached and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Looking back to last year’s Spring Festival, although there were few people at home, it was not so lonely.

With my wife and the deaf old lady by my side, I am not lonely at all.

But this year everything has changed. Her reputation has been ruined, the deaf old lady went to a nursing home, and Wu Cuiyun moved to the northeast.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai actually missed the past.

I have some regrets about what I have done.

But the feeling of regret did not last long before it was ruthlessly extinguished.

Everything is for retirement!

"What else can I do? I can just eat whatever I want."

Yi Zhonghai is an old fox, and he saw through Qin Huairu's little thoughts at a glance.

He just wanted to get some New Year's goods from him to bring back to the Jia family, and he didn't fall for Qin Huairu's trick at all.

"Uncle Yi, I originally wanted to invite you to celebrate the New Year with our Jia family.

But Zhuzi also wants to be with our Jia family..."

Qin Huairu explained hesitantly.

Throw the blame on Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai naturally understood what Qin Huairu meant.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up at first, then quickly dimmed.

During this period, Yi Zhonghai had thought about repairing his relationship with Sha Zhu, but the other party simply ignored him.

After several attempts, Yi Zhonghai realized that the two sides had completely fallen apart.

But then again, even if Sha Zhu was willing to accept him again, he would not dare to rely on Sha Zhu for his retirement support.

In today's courtyard, the only family that can provide him with retirement care is the Jia family.

"Hey, Zhuzi is too stubborn!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed distressedly, but he didn't feel much in his heart.

"Uncle Yi, why don't you provide some ingredients and let Master Zhuzi cook it.

When he's done, I'll bring it back to you?"

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai expectantly.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are much better than Qin Huairu’s.

Although things haven’t been going as planned this year, it’s New Year’s Day, so can’t we have a good meal?

As for how much benefit the Jia family could get from it, Yi Zhonghai didn't care.

It's just a drop in the bucket for him!

"Row!"

Qin Huairu almost cried for joy when she saw Yi Zhonghai agreed so readily.

It is really difficult to get any benefits from Yi Zhonghai.

During this period, apart from the labor fees I can get from him for my own work, nothing else can be discussed.

Today Yi Zhonghai rarely relaxed, and Qin Huairu felt that this was a good start.

After finishing the work for Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu went to Sha Zhu's house without stopping.

Sha Zhu and his sister were sitting in the main room eating dinner. There was a lunch box on the table, waiting for Qin Huairu to come and get it.

Qin Huairu pushed open the door of Sha Zhu's house without any hesitation, and she did it with such skill as if she was returning to her own home.

"Zhu Zi, Yu Shui, what about dinner?"

"Sister Qin is here! It's late today!"

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu, he felt inexplicably happy.

He Yushui didn't like Qin Huairu very much now. He nodded to her expressionlessly and didn't even bother to say hello.

Qin Huairu had long been accustomed to He Yushui's attitude. She was just a little girl, so she didn't take her seriously at all.

"Hey, busy! After cooking for the whole family, I still have to go to Uncle Yi's place to help!"

Qin Huairu forced a wry smile on her face.

Sha Zhu felt a pain in his heart. Sister Qin had it so hard. She had a big belly and had to go to work and take care of the family at the same time.

"Sister Qin, take the lunch box away quickly and go home to eat!"

With He Yushui standing by, Sha Zhu was too embarrassed to say too many words of concern.

"Thank you, Zhuzi!"

Qin Huairu took the lunch box in her hand, but did not leave.

"Zhu Zi, can our two families celebrate the New Year together this year?"

In previous years, when Jia Dongxu was still alive, the Jia family, the Yi family, and the Sha Zhu family all lived their own lives.

"Sure! No problem!

Whose house did you go to? "

Sha Zhu agreed without thinking. As for He Yushui's opinion, it was not important.

"Let's go to my house. There are many kids at home and they are noisy. It's not convenient to come to your place!"

Qin Huairu had already prepared a meal and was going to eat it at Jia's house. So wouldn't the remaining ingredients and food all belong to Jia's family?

If she ate at the He's house, eating and taking things, even Qin Huairu would feel embarrassed.

The neighbors in the yard are not blind, they will spread any news when the time comes.

"Listen to Sister Qin. I'll bring some New Year's goods over and we'll have a good meal."

Sha Zhu nodded in agreement with Qin Huairu's suggestion, and even offered to bring New Year's goods over to save Qin Huairu from having to talk any more.

He Yushui looked at her silly brother and was speechless.

But this time He Yushui was not going to persuade him anymore. The two siblings always ended up quarreling on bad terms in the past, and she was tired of it.

“Then let’s make it a deal!

Okay, you guys eat, I have to go back and heat up the food!"

Qin Huairu said goodbye and left after seeing that the matter was settled.

"Sister Qin, take care."

Sha Zhu watched Qin Huairu leave and happily took a sip of the liquor.
