Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

After everyone left, the He family.

Sha Zhu was relieved when he saw that Jia Zhang didn't continue to pester him.

He glanced at his uncle. Cai Quanwu was still frightened when he saw Sha Zhu looking at him.

So he said, "I didn't realize that Aunt Jia likes this. But don't worry, I'm not stupid, even if she likes young girls."

If you can't afford to provoke them, can't you just avoid them? Stay away from the Jia family from now on.

"Uncle, it's good that you know. Jia Zhang is really not a good person. If she were to marry into our family, our family would be ruined by her sooner or later."

Seeing that Lao Cai was not a picky eater, Sha Zhu stopped persuading him and went straight to pour the foot washing water.

There was only one basin in their house, and the water was rainwater. After washing their face and feet, Lao Cai took over, and finally it was Sha Zhu's turn.

Lao Cai rides a tricycle every day, and the water after washing his feet becomes muddy.

Sha Zhu stretched his legs, but finally couldn't hold it in.

He ran to get another basin of water and then washed his feet comfortably with hot water.

After turning off the lights, Sha Zhu lay on his back, with the sound of Lao Cai snoring in his ears.

He was thinking in his mind that now Lao Cai and he lived in the same room, and Yu Shui lived in the side room, so the family would not be crowded.

When both Mr. Cai and I get married, we’ll have to find a place to live.

When Yu Shui gets married and moves out, there will be a small room left in their house, but it will only be barely enough for two people to live in.

If we have another child, I'm afraid there won't be enough room.

At this time, Sha Zhu silently gave a thumbs up to the Jia family next door. A family of five lived in one and a half rooms.

It’s only because Sister Qin has a good personality, otherwise she would have asked for a separation long ago.

Jia family.

Jia Zhang was rejected in public by Mr. Cai today. She should have been extremely ashamed, but she was Jia Zhang after all.

In addition to being thick-skinned, his mentality is also extremely strong.

She immediately began to prepare the soles of Lao Cai's shoes and decided to take a roundabout route.

As long as you wear the shoes you make, you are your own person.

I don’t have to worry about him not surrendering at that time.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu on the side also didn't say a word. Judging from the situation, I have really made up my mind.

As long as she can get married to Mr. Cai, wouldn’t their housing problem be solved?

Moreover, the lunch boxes that Sha Zhu brought back from the steel mill would naturally appear on his own dining table.

"Hehe~" Jia Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud as she thought about it.

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu looked at each other. Could it be that this old lady was mentally ill due to the stimulation?

"Grandma, what are you laughing at?"

Banggeng found it boring to play with his sister Xiaodang after a while because they were too young and couldn't even run.

"Go to sleep, and I'll find something good for you."

In this family, the one that Jia Zhang loves the most is Banggeng, and Dongxu has to stand aside.

……

The front yard.

After watching the fun, Chen Jianghe took Duoduo home. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the conversation between his mother and wife.

"Just keep your wages for yourself. Don't let Jiang He take too much money. If he gets impatient and throws the money away, you'll have worked for nothing for a month."

Chen's mother was talking to her daughter-in-law about the wages at the steel mill.

Since she returned to Beijing, she found a middleman and got the rent for Zhengmingzhai and the two courtyards. She kept a little for herself and gave the rest to Chen Jianghe.

From now on, Chen Jianghe would handle all the rent issues, and she could concentrate on taking care of the children.

"It's useless for me to take the money. Basically, I don't have the opportunity to spend it. I'd better let my brother get it. He manages money better than me."

As Lou Xiao'e was speaking, she saw Chen Jianghe and Duoduo coming back, and she hurried over to them to let them wash and soak their feet.

"What are you talking about? I heard a little bit when I just walked in."

Chen Jianghe asked casually, his wife and mother get along well with each other, which relieves him of many worries.

"Brother, I'm talking to mom about the end of the month closure. My suggestion is that you go get the money and leave some for me for food."

Lou Xiao'e is a daughter of a wealthy family. It is very rare for her to change into what she is now.

After getting married, she focuses on her man and she doesn’t think there is anything wrong with that.

She can't have to be served by others after marriage. She just comes from a better family, but she is not a royal family.

Besides, braids were abolished long ago and now people are talking about gender equality.

In the past, when men were in good health, they were the ones who supported the family. Now, due to special circumstances, it is not tiring for her to do OEM work, so she doesn't need to care what others say.

Moreover, she was thinking that Chen Jianghe was now unemployed and no longer had a fixed salary every month, so he must be feeling disappointed.

Her salary might be a lot for other families, but Lou Xiao'e was not someone who had never seen money.

If she can support her family with the income from her own labor, she will be happy, and the husband will be happy too, what a great thing!

Lou Xiao'e is willing to do things that are conducive to harmonious family relationships.

"That's fine. I'll still give you four dollars a month for food expenses."

Chen Jianghe did not forget the 30 yuan household allowance he had promised to give Lou Xiaoe every month.

Now he has no salary, and in addition to Lou Xiao'e's 27.5 yuan, he has to pay another 6.5 yuan every month.

He is not losing out if he can live a happy life with six dollars and fifty cents.

"Uncle, when Duoduo grows up and starts working, I will give you the salary to manage."

Duoduo now understands some common sense of life in the city. People here don’t have to farm, but work in factories for money.

Moreover, the money the factory gives would take half a year of work in their village to earn.

Not necessarily. My grandma said that even if they had work points, they would not be able to eat, so they might have to work for a long time in the village before they could make the same living standards as those in the city.

"Duoduo is so good. I will save it for you and give it to you as a dowry when the time comes, okay?"

Chen Jianghe is becoming more and more adept at taking care of children, and he doesn't even notice it.

"By the way, there's a letter from Zhao Qing's second uncle."

Chen's mother received a letter from Zhaojiazhuang during the day today and has been waiting for Chen Jianghe to come back and tell her about it.

"So soon, how long have we been back? Is it possible that Uncle and his family are running out of food?"

Chen Jianghe didn't leave much food behind at the time, but for someone who was traveling far away, it was already a lot. Any more would arouse suspicion.

"See for yourself."

As Chen's mother spoke, she took out a letter with the seal already opened.

Of course, she had read the contents in advance. It was not a private letter, so she just read it.

After Chen Jianghe finished soaking his feet, while Lou Xiao'e went out to get some water, he had already finished reading the letter under the lamp.

"Brother, what's wrong? What did the letter say?"

As soon as Lou Xiao'e entered the room, she saw that her man's brows were so furrowed that they looked like they could be tied with a rope. It seemed that he had encountered some troubles.

"Someone is starving to death in Zhaojiazhuang again..."

It turned out that last time, after Zhao Degui’s family distributed the food.

Some people left their homes to make a living, but the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled could not leave and could only wait for better days.

Zhao Degui used the money and food coupons left by Chen Jianghe to go to the town to exchange for food, but he couldn't buy any in any food stores.

In the end, there was no other choice but to buy some steamed bread at a cooperative restaurant at a high price, and I couldn’t bear to buy even white flour.

Besides, the food in the joint venture store is almost gone.

Now the whole nation is unable to get enough food, and Zhao Degui's dry food is just a drop in the bucket.

"It has been six days since the letter was sent..."

The countryside feeds the city.

It was originally intended to solve the food problem caused by the rapid growth of urban population.

Now I haven’t heard of anyone starving to death in the city, but if it weren’t for Zhao Degui’s letter.

Who would dare to believe that farmers have no food to eat! ?
