People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Qin Huairu didn't know He Daqing. When she got married, He Daqing had already left the courtyard house. However, she had always heard Jia Zhang talk about how He Daqing ran away to Baoding with a widow.

"Isn't Shazhu married? He won't learn from his father, right?"

Qin Huairu didn't quite believe it, although before He Yuzhu got married, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was always a little lustful. After He Yuzhu got married, they had less contact, so she didn't feel that feeling much anymore.

"whispering sound."

Jia Zhang exhaled with disdain, and then said, "It's just like a cat giving birth to a cat, and a dog giving birth to a dog. With his father being like that, how can we expect Sha Zhu to be any better? If he didn't have his cooking skills, he would have starved to death."

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang mention Sha Zhu's cooking skills, he couldn't help but swallow.

Ever since Jia Dongxu's death, the Jia family no longer had to starve because of the compensation. On the contrary, they had more food to eat.

But it is still rare to see oil and water.

Qin Huairu is now breastfeeding and has a big appetite. After all, she has to breastfeed her baby, so she always wants to eat meat.

However, most of the family's money was managed by Jia Zhangshi, so if Qin Huairu wanted to buy meat, Jia Zhangshi would not agree. Even if the meat was cooked, most of it would not go into Qin Huairu's mouth.

Qin Huairu thought of the lunch boxes that Sha Zhu's wife Yu Li often brought back.

Moreover, there was a gossip in the courtyard that Sha Zhu was caught for taking the canteen's small kitchen out of the factory. It was said that if it weren't for Lin Yi's help, Sha Zhu would have been punished.

"Mom, you said I'm going to work at the steel mill, how about going to the cafeteria?"

Qin Huairu also wanted to bring a lunch box.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu as if she were a fool and said, "Are you stupid? Are you out of your mind? Giving birth to a money-losing baby has ruined your brain? You are a regular worker, and you want to be a cook?"

Qin Huairu pretended not to hear Jia Zhang's slanderous words and explained to her on her own.

"Mom, I can bring my lunch box if I work in the cafeteria. There are so many people in our family, and I will only have that little income. I have asked around. I just joined the factory, so I can't get the salary of a regular worker. I can only get 18.5 yuan as an apprentice. If I want to become a regular worker, I have to take an exam."

"How did Dongxu pass the exam back then? You know that there was an old man helping him back then. Now, the old man has gone to the Third Front to provide aid. I don't know when he will come back."

"If I enter the workshop, I don't know which master I will be assigned to. If I am assigned to a master who doesn't teach attentively, I can't keep receiving the apprentice salary of 18.5 yuan. Moreover, I can only receive this salary for three years. If I fail to pass the examination within three years, I will be fired."

"Then this quota will be lost for nothing..."

After listening to Qin Huairu's explanation, Jia Zhang was a little panicked. She didn't really believe in Qin Huairu's ability. She expected Qin Huairu to be able to pass the exam like Jia Dongxu, but Jia Zhang didn't really believe it. In her heart, Jia Dongxu must be better than Qin Huairu.

Jia Dongxu had to rely on Yi Zhonghai to become a formal worker, so Jia Zhangshi didn't believe that Qin Huairu could rely on herself.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang became nervous and felt that it would have been better to ask for a full sum of money at the beginning. If Qin Huairu could not be converted to a regular employee in the future, wouldn't this quota be wasted?

"What should we do then?" Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu.

"So I asked if I could go to the cafeteria. The cafeteria only serves big pot dishes, which are not much different from what I cook at home. I will definitely learn quickly and it will be easy to become a regular employee. Moreover, if I can go to the cafeteria, I will definitely be able to bring back a lunch box."

"We live in the same courtyard as Lin Yi, and Sha Zhu is the chef in the cafeteria. Sha Zhu's family can only make lunch boxes, but it's my turn to make them, right?"

Qin Huairu's words made Jia Zhangshi feel as if she saw hope.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's better to go to the canteen. You can bring your lunch box back. There is no saying that the cook will go hungry."

At this moment, Jia Zhang also agreed with Qin Huairu and thought that working in the cafeteria would be the best option.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu suspiciously again: "Qin Huairu, you are not lying to me, are you? Did you think of seducing Sha Zhu because you saw that there was no hope with Lin Yi?"

Jia Zhang never stopped talking to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was furious after hearing what Jia Zhang said.

"Mom, do you think I am the slut who is always looking for a stranger? If that's the case, I will leave the three children to you. They are all the flesh and blood of the Jia family. I will go there alone and not bring shame to the Jia family's reputation."

Qin Huairu's words made Jia Zhang anxious. She was now an old woman without a husband or a son. Although she had the compensation money from her son in her hand, her grandchildren were still so young and she had no extra income. She knew that the family would have to rely on Qin Huairu to make a living in the future.

Jia Zhang immediately gave in and said, "Wife, Mom is not at peace and is talking nonsense."

"Can your idea of ​​going to the cafeteria work?"

Jia Zhang gave in, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was eased. However, Jia Zhang still had doubts. Working in a steel rolling mill was not something that she could get any position she wanted.

"Mom, this is what I thought. When I'm out of confinement, I'll go find Auntie and Lin Yi and ask Lin Yi for help. He's the leader, so his words will definitely count. Then, find Sha Zhu. As long as Sha Zhu doesn't object, it's a sure thing that I can get into the cafeteria."

"Oh, by the way, Mom, don't treat Sha Zhu the same way you did before. If he gets petty and doesn't agree to my joining the cafeteria, he is the chef after all. Don't get angry then."

Jia Zhang thought for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll be nicer to Sha Zhu in the future. But I have to remind you not to have any inappropriate thoughts. Even if you really want someone, you can't find someone like Sha Zhu. Our bodies are worthless if we give them away easily. If you want to find someone, you have to find someone like Lin Yi. He won't marry you, but he can provide you with food and drink."

Outside, He Yuzhu didn't wait for Qin Huairu to come out, and it was not appropriate to wait any longer, so he left first.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family saw He Yuzhu leaving.

Qin Huairu said, "Mom, I haven't finished washing my clothes yet."

However, when she went out, she put on an extra coat.

Lin Yi was riding the three-wheeled vehicle that was assigned to him, taking Ning Linyi with him, and was heading towards Ning Linyi's hometown in the countryside.

Lin Yi had already been to the Lou family's old house.

Lou Zhenhua left behind quite a few things, including more than 120 pieces of calligraphy and paintings.

Lin Yi didn't understand the value of calligraphy and paintings, but he thought that things collected by Lou Zhenhua would not be ordinary stuff.
