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

"Master, we have no money...

Could you please point me in the direction so we can walk there?

Maybe I'll meet my brother along the way."

Zhao Qingmiao also knew that the possibility of meeting Chen Jianghe halfway was very small, but one always has to have some thoughts about him.

“…Go northeast from here and ask anyone you meet. You’ll probably get there before dark.

By the way, who is your brother?

Maybe if I meet him, I can bring him a message."

Lao Cai is also very kind and it’s not tiring to convey messages.

“Chen Jianghe, Erdong Chen, the river of the great rivers.

My brother said that if you ask around, everyone on the street knows him."

The taciturn Zhao Xianglei took the initiative to speak. Since it concerns his idol, he is willing to speak.

When Old Cai heard the three words "Chen Jianghe", he wanted to slap himself. Why was he talking so much?

If he didn't know who other people's relatives were, he would have just left today.

But that’s not the case now.

If Chen Jianghe finds out that I deliberately escaped today, I don’t know how I will get back at him.

The key is that if others are not working, you may really meet them halfway.

"Why didn't you just say you were a relative of Brother Chen's? Come on, get in the car!"

Old Cai accepted his fate. Not only did he not earn any income on this trip, he also had to pay for two steamed buns.

However, it is not too bad to make Chen Jianghe owe me a favor.

“But we have no money.”

"I didn't tell you about the money. Let's go. Aren't we going to Nanluoguxiang? I'll take you there."

On the return journey, the aggrieved old Cai was in tears.

Soon, in the front yard of the courtyard.

Duoduo was playing with Xiao Yan Jie Di when she heard someone calling her name.

When I looked back, I saw Zhao Xianglei and Zhao Qingmiao coming to the door!

"Sister Qingmiao, Brother Xianglei, you are here!"

Children's happiness is always so simple.

Duoduo only knew that someone had come from her hometown, but she didn't understand why other families left their hometowns and rushed to the city.

Just as Duoduo ran back home to call for help, Zhao Degui and his wife, and another boy of eight or nine years old also came in.

The five people in these two families were dark and thin, with cotton wool showing through their clothes.

Zhao Degui and his wife held Zhao Xianglei and Zhao Mu by their side the whole time, for fear that the two children's clumsy actions would cause trouble for others.

There are new people in the Siheyuan!

The yard was now very lively, with all the aunts and sisters-in-law coming around to talk to people.

Your enthusiasm is like a fire, hey!

Now no one is jealous of the Chen family anymore.

With five more mouths to feed, even the best family can go bankrupt.

The key is that these five people are not urban residents, have no food coupons and no jobs, and are just machines for making food.

In the eyes of others, Chen Jianghe's family relies on Lou Xiaoe's salary for their livelihood.

Of course, other people’s father-in-laws also have money, so there is no need to worry about his family eating.

But now, these poor relatives of the Chen family have also come.

Could it be that the Lou family has no ideas at all?

Other families help their poor relatives by just giving them some money and food coupons, but Lao Chen’s relatives just come to the door and help them!

"Will the Chen family still have a good life in the future?"

Jia Zhang was busy with her work and muttered something under her breath, not because she was afraid of being heard.

After all, Chen Jianghe had allowed her to gain benefits, so she wouldn't want to look down on others.

"Child, what is your name?"

An old lady asked about the child who looked the youngest, the son of Zhao Deren, the third son of the Zhao family.

"Auntie, my name is Zhao Mu."

Zhao Mu, who was entering the city for the first time, looked at the surroundings and felt like he was dreaming.

There are mostly adobe and thatched houses in their village, where can you find such a gorgeous house?

Moreover, it was obvious that the city people were not starving, as they were all fairer than the villagers.

Not fat, but definitely not skinny.

After he meets the second uncle Liu Haizhong, his opinion will definitely change again.

Some city dwellers are big and strong.

"His second uncle, when did you come? Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

On this side, Chen's mother had been pulled out by Xiao Duoduo.

Seeing that the Zhaojiazhuang family seemed to be in good spirits, I felt relieved.

But the third brother Zhao Deren and his wife were not there. Only their son Zhao Mu came. What was going on?

After everyone exchanged greetings, Chen's mother led her people into the house.

After watching for a while, the people in the yard went back to the middle yard to continue chatting.

Old Chen's house originally had four rooms, which was the envy of everyone in the hospital.

But now, no one is jealous anymore.

Because there are nine people living in four rooms, on average, the living space is not as spacious as that of other people's homes!

"It seems that the relatives of the old Chen family came to the house suddenly. Didn't I hear what Mrs. Chen said? They didn't give us any notice in advance."

"That's right. If the letter came in advance, Chen Jianghe could have stopped it for a while, but now it's all over."

"Do you think Lou Xiao'e is willing to support so many people? After all, she is the only one working and earning money in the family."

"Just wait, there will be some fun to watch."

"..."

Old Cai, who helped send the person back, walked out from behind the crowd silently.

He just went back to the house and ate two steamed buns, thinking of going out to ride the tricycle for a while to make up for the loss of this trip.

However, what these aunts said made him a little panicked.

After all, not everyone is willing to receive poor relatives. I don’t know if I am doing Chen Jianghe a disservice.

He decided to slip away so that he wouldn't have to send the person back to where he picked him up from.

Then you have to throw in two more steamed buns...

One negative and one positive equals eight taels of grain.

"Hey, isn't that Lao Cai? What is he doing in such a hurry?"

"What can he do? He can only make money by riding a tricycle."

"It seems like he was the one who brought this family back just now..."

Everyone then suddenly realized that Lao Cai had escaped.

……

In the steel rolling mill.

Lou Xiao'e's job has evolved from identifying tool parts to quality inspection.

It's just testing a bunch of processed screws and picking out those that don't match. It's not a tiring job.

It was all thanks to the master Zhao Yun that Chen Jianghe found for her.

During this period of time, Lou Xiao'e has become familiar with her fellow workers and has adapted to the daily commute to work.

She is the only newcomer in the sister group, so she attracts special attention from everyone.

"Hey, Lou Xiao'e, has your husband increased your food allowance?"

Sister Hua came over and asked.

Several of them had always felt aggrieved about what had happened to Lou Xiao'e, and wanted to help the younger sister vent her anger.

"My food expenses are enough, and I have white flour to eat every day, which is already very good." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

Besides, she also eats white flour for every meal at home, and coarse grains are basically just decorations on the dining table.

Because Chen Jianghe said that their family had enough flour and there was no need to force themselves to eat steamed bread.

I steam two steamed buns while cooking, just to show off to others.

There is meat in the meals at home every day, which is better than the food in the steel mill canteen.

But she couldn't say these words to Sister Hua.

Lou Xiao'e discovered that actually doing what her man said about walking in the night in fine clothes was actually quite torturous.

This is not a way to show off your wealth!

"You are just too soft-hearted!"

Too soft-hearted, carrying all the troubles by yourself~

Sister Hua complained and went back to her workstation. It seemed that they had to teach Chen Jianghe a lesson.

Lou Xiao'e is stupid, they are not easy to mess with!

"Ah! Ahh!"

Under a big tree beside the moat, Chen Jianghe, who was fishing, rubbed his nose.

"Who is scolding me?"

He had nothing else to do today, so he found a fishing spot and prepared to return to his old job.

Confucius said, "One cannot eat without fish."

pity.
