Living in a Siheyuan

Since Yu Li became pregnant, Li Pingan stopped practicing. Except for occasionally going to get some ingredients for the factory, he always stayed with Yu Li.

Every day, Li Pingan accompanied Yu Li to and from get off work. At noon, Li Pingan prepared lunch and brought it to the office for Yu Li to eat together. Occasionally, he would take out some good food from the space to supplement her meal. If Yu Li asked, he would ask He Yuzhu to make it in the kitchen.

Days like this passed one after another, and they did not attend the National Day this year. They were afraid that it would be dangerous if there were too many people.

Yu Li's belly is getting bigger and bigger, bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women.

So they went to the hospital for a checkup and found out that it was twins. Li Pingan and Yu Li were now even more excited but also cautious.

Yu Li's family was also very happy when they found out about it. They hoped that this time the babies would be all boys, which would be even more perfect.

Li Pingan knew that this was in his family's genes. According to the original owner's memory, he also had a twin brother. However, due to poor medical conditions at the time and insufficient nutrition, his brother died at birth. As a result, his mother also became ill and lost her fertility.

After knowing that she was having twins, Li Ping'an often brought some good things home from time to time to supplement Yu Li's nutrition.

The spiritual fluid accumulated in the space is taken in different ways every day.

Li Pingan and his family were hardly affected, but most families were getting more and more miserable.

The drought this year caused a crop failure across the country. The city of Beijing was no exception. Everyone’s food ration was reduced.

This made the situation even worse for everyone who already had insufficient food.

Today, in the second canteen kitchen of the steel mill, when they saw He Yuzhu put all the remaining dishes into Qin Huairu's lunch box, several people finally couldn't help but explode.

Now everyone doesn't have enough to eat, and there are not many leftovers in the cafeteria every day. Now all of them have been given to Qin Huairu by He Yuzhu, and they can't get a single leaf of vegetable. The resentment has accumulated a lot, and it exploded at this moment.

The chefs in charge of making steamed buns said to He Yuzhu, "Silly Zhu, this is too much. Everyone is in financial difficulty right now. You can't give all the leftovers to Qin Huairu. What are we going to do?"

He Yuzhu had just finished packing the leftovers for Qin Huairu when he heard someone talking like this. He looked up and saw that it was Master Liu who was in charge of the noodles. He replied, "What's wrong with giving it to Sister Qin? She has to support her whole family with such a small salary, and you guys are fighting for a little leftovers? Do you still have any sympathy?"

After hearing this, the rest of the people were unwilling to do so. Which family is not in trouble now? So everyone started arguing with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu relied on his good cooking skills and being the team leader of the kitchen to look down on these people.

He said directly: "I'll do this. If you are not satisfied, go find the canteen director. See if he dares to control me."

At this time, he didn't realize that Director Wan from the cafeteria was standing behind the door. He was also very angry when he heard this. He shouted on the spot: "Why are you making noise instead of working properly?"

When they saw Director Wan coming, everyone came over to complain to him.

Director Wan looked at He Yuzhu and said, "From now on, no one can take the leftovers from the cafeteria home. Save them for the security guards on night duty as snacks. If anyone is found secretly taking them home, they will be fired from the kitchen."

After hearing this, no one argued. Anyway, I can't take you back, so don't even think about taking you back.

He Yuzhu was still not convinced and said, "What's wrong with me bringing some leftovers? I work for the factory and often work overtime. I don't get any subsidies, and now I can't even bring these leftovers. Don't ask me to help you with your cooking in the future."

After saying that, He Yuzhu took off his sleeves and threw them on the chopping board, then turned around and sat there without caring about anything.

Director Wan now felt a little uncomfortable again. If He Yuzhu really stopped preparing special meals for him, who would entertain the leaders in the future?

So Director Wan went to find Li Huaide who was in charge of logistics. Finally, Li Huaide thought that he really couldn't lose He Yuzhu, the chef, and Director Yang was also very optimistic about He Yuzhu's cooking skills. Besides, a little leftovers was no big deal.

In the end, it was decided that every time there were leftovers, He Yuzhu could only take away one lunch box, and the rest had to be divided equally among everyone or taken in turns.

The matter was suppressed. Although the people in the kitchen were very angry, there was nothing they could do.

He Yuzhu was even more arrogant.

Later, the rumors about He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's relationship became more and more intense. They said that he sneaked into the small warehouse during work hours, and they all made up stories with details. And it was said that many people in the kitchen saw it.

Master Liu in the kitchen was so angry about the last incident that he didn't go to work for a few days. In addition, he was old, so he asked his daughter Liu Lan, who had just got married, to take over the job.

So Liu Lan entered the kitchen of the second canteen of the steel rolling mill.

Because of the spread of the kitchen staff, and the fact that such gossip was likely to arouse everyone's interest, it didn't take long for the news to spread to the courtyard.

Several people in the Jia family also felt something was a bit strange recently. Jia Zhang couldn't speak now, but she didn't want to stay at home. She often went outside with the aunts, holding her insoles and listening to their conversations.

But recently, everyone kept silent when they saw her coming. She always felt that something was hidden from her. But she couldn't say anything and couldn't ask.

That afternoon, Jia Zhang was still at home. Jia Dongxu was also lying on the bed. Suddenly, Banggeng came running back, crying.

When Jia Zhang saw him, she was about to stop him to see what was wrong with Bang Geng, but he ran into the house, grabbed Jia Dongxu's arm and cried, "Dad, you said I'm not a bastard, and my dad is not a fool, right?"

Banggeng's words stunned Jia Zhangshi. Jia Dongxu was so angry that he suddenly sat up and shouted: "Banggeng, what nonsense are you talking about? Who told you that?"

Banggeng is only six years old. He cried and wiped his tears while saying, "When I go out to play, they won't play with me anymore. They all say what happened between my mom and Shazhu in the factory. They also say Shazhu is my dad and I am Shazhu's bastard. Dad, can you help me deal with them? They all bully me!"

Now Jia Dongxu's forehead was exposed with veins, and his face was stern. The thing he was most worried about had happened. At this moment, he hated himself too much. He felt that he was too cowardly.

Jia Zhang looked at the furious Jia Dongxu and screamed in haste. She wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word. She was so anxious that she grabbed the stick and wanted to find the children outside to settle the score.

But Banggeng just sat on the ground and cried and refused to go. He was already laughed at, and he would be laughed at even more if he took his grandmother with him. People often used the fact that his grandmother was mute to laugh at him, and he wished that this wasn't his grandmother.

Jia Dongxu grabbed a pillow and threw it at Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi. They were startled. They turned around and saw Jia Dongxu staring at them fiercely. Banggeng didn't dare to make trouble anymore. He was dragged out of the room by Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Dongxu was getting angrier and angrier. He wanted to kill He Yuzhu. But when he thought about his own body, he was so angry that he punched his legs hard a few times.

When Qin Huairu returned home with her lunch box, she suddenly discovered a strange atmosphere in the house.

Banggeng turned his head away and ignored him, while Jia Zhang was staring at him. No one paid attention to the lunch box that was usually opened hastily upon returning home.

She turned to Banggeng and asked, "Banggeng, what's wrong? Mom brought you fried meat today, why don't you eat it?"

After all, he is a child, and he is excited when he hears about fried meat.

But Jia Zhang, who was standing by, threw the lunch box on the table down and pointed at Qin Huairu, shouting something.

When Bang Geng saw that the lunch box was gone, he turned around and said, "You are not my mother. I will never call you mother again."

Qin Huairu cried when she heard Banggeng say such cruel words. She said, "Banggeng, how could you say such a thing? What happened to you today?"

Before Banggeng could answer, Jia Dongxu's angry voice could be heard: "He thinks it's shameful to have a mother like you. You did those shameless things and still want him to call you mom? If you don't find it shameful, then we all do."

After hearing Jia Dongxu's roar, Qin Huairu said with a little fear and grievance: "What shameful thing have I done? I work every day to support my family. What shameful thing can I do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud bang and a teacup was thrown out from inside.

Jia Dongxu roared even more angrily: "You just despise me for not being able to make money. You think you can make money and this family depends on you, so you do such a shameless thing, right?"

Qin Huairu was really sad. Because of her stuttering, she was ostracized in the kitchen and scolded when she returned home. She felt more and more wronged.

Because the Jia family was very close to He Yuzhu's home, when He Yuzhu passed by, he heard Jia Dongxu's angry scolding and Qin Huairu's crying.

Hearing Qin Huairu's aggrieved cry getting louder and louder, He Yuzhu turned around and went into the Jia family.

He came in and saw Qin Huairu crying sadly, so he said, "Sister Qin, what's wrong? Did Jia Dongxu bully you again?"

Seeing that Qin Huairu ignored him and was still crying, he shouted at Jia Dongxu in the inner room: "Jia Dongxu, are you still a man? Sister Qin works hard every day, and you still bully her when she comes home. If it weren't for Sister Qin, your family would have starved to death. You are still not satisfied."

He Yuzhu's words stirred up a hornet's nest. Qin Huairu quickly pushed him out and told him to stop talking.

Jia Dongxu was so angry that he shouted inside: "Shazhu, I'm C N Z Z! I will fight you to the death today!"

There was a "thump" sound from inside, and Jia Dongxu fell off the bed. But he used both hands to dig his way out of the bed. He rushed towards He Yuzhu and shouted that he wanted to fight him to the death.

Jia Zhang also picked up a stool and hit He Yuzhu.

Although Banggeng was young, when he saw his father and grandmother were going to beat Shazhu, he also rushed towards He Yuzhu with the kettle on the table.

Sha Zhu was also shocked when he saw this. He didn't know about the rumors yet. He just thought that the people in the Jia family were crazy.

With Qin Huairu's push, He Yuzhu took the opportunity to leave the Jia family.

When they saw Qin Huairu was still defending Shazhu, Jia Dongxu pulled Qin Huairu's clothes and pulled her to the ground. He then slapped her hard in the face.

Jia Zhang also kicked her a few times and then started pinching her with her hands.

When Bang Geng saw this situation, he was so scared that he stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

Qin Huairu cried out in pain after being beaten by the two men.

An old lady who lived opposite also heard it and quickly dropped her work and ran over.

Seeing He Yuzhu at the door, he said, "Zhuzi, why are you here? Go in and see what's going on."

With that said, the aunt walked towards the Jia family.

He Yuzhu was also anxious. He was in a dilemma when he heard Qin Huairu's screams. Just now, Qin Huairu refused to let him take care of it and threatened to push him out.

Now he saw an old lady go in, so he followed her inside.

A lady came in and saw Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang beating Qin Huairu. She quickly stepped forward to stop the fight.

First he pulled Qin Huairu up from the ground and then used his body to block Qin Huairu.

Then he persuaded: "Dongxu, Dongxu's mother, what's wrong with the two of you? Why do you hit Huairu when you can talk peacefully?"

Qin Huairu, who was behind, saw He Yuzhu coming again and quickly signaled him to leave.

Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, Sha Zhu didn't dare to go in, fearing that Qin Huairu would really ignore him in the future. He just listened outside the door.

Here, Jia Zhang pulled her son up and sat him on a stool. Jia Dongxu also said with a gloomy face: "Master's wife, you also work in the factory. Do you think the story between Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu is true? What are people saying now? You are my master's wife, I believe you will not lie to me."

After hearing this, Auntie looked at Qin Huairu and then at Jia Dongxu in some embarrassment. She didn't know what to say?

Jia Dongxu understood when he saw the look on the lady's face. It seemed that the news had spread everywhere, but his family was still in the dark. He was so angry that he swept all the teapots and cups on the table to the ground with one arm.

Qin Huairu cried and said to Auntie, "Auntie, I really didn't do anything. I don't even know what rumors people outside are making up."

The aunt sighed and said, "Huai Ru, I believe you didn't do anything. But now not only in the factory, but also outside, people are talking about you and Zhu Zi. After all, he is a big guy, you should be more careful."

Then he said to Jia Dongxu, "Don't be angry. Don't you know what kind of person Huairu is? She couldn't have done those things. It must have been spread by others. You already have two children. Live a good life and don't do this again."

Seeing that the fight had stopped, the aunt was still thinking about the rice in her pot. She said a few more words and left.

When she came out and saw He Yuzhu still standing there, she said angrily: "Zhuzi, you are not a child anymore, stay away from Huairu in the future. Don't you know what people say about you? If it weren't for you today, there wouldn't be a fight in his family. Remember?"

After saying that, he hurried home to check on the meal he had cooked.
