The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

Before the Spring Festival this year, the fiber factory had already completed its year-end production target and took a holiday early on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, allowing the employees to go home and spend a happy new year in peace.

Darong went home happily after finishing her night shift, prepared to tidy up the house and go to Erdaohezi to pick up Ruyi.

Not long after she opened the door, Mrs. Jin, who lived next door to Xiao Ling, knocked on her door holding her child.

"Ruyi's mother, can I leave the child in your room for a while? I need to go out urgently."

When Darong opened the door, she saw that Mrs. Jin's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

Darong is like this. If you quarrel with me, I will never be vague with you, but if you come to me when you are in trouble, I will definitely help you without saying a word.

After Jin Er's wife pushed the child into Darong's room, she hurried out of the yard.

In fact, Darong didn't expect that Jin Er's wife would trust her so much. They had just had a quarrel not long ago, but now she dared to put the little golden egg in her home.

Because Darong originally wanted to quickly pack up and go to Erdaohezi, she didn't plan to light the stove and waste coal.

But looking at the well-behaved little golden egg in front of her, she was afraid that the child would be cold, so she quickly got some wood from outside and half a basket of coal and lit the stove.

Little Jindan is only a few months older than Yi. Although he is born silly, he is very obedient and sensible.

Darong took some snacks and toys of Xiao Ruyi from the cupboard, and he ate and played by himself without crying or making a fuss, and waited obediently for his mother to come back from Darong's house.

But they waited for the whole morning and Jin Er's wife still didn't come back. At noon, after Darong made some noodle soup and ate it with Xiao Jindan, she could no longer resist the deep sleepiness.

"Jindan, can you sleep with Aunt Rong for a while?"

Darong teased Xiao Jindan casually, but she didn't expect that the little guy actually put down all the toys in his hands, climbed onto the kang and lay on the pillow.

Darong was very surprised at how obedient and sensible Xiao Jindan was. After all, if it were Xiao Ruyi, even if Darong was sleepy and dozed off, she would still use her little hands to pry open Darong's eyes and let her mother talk to her.

It turns out that the law that other people’s children are all angels is true.

Xiao Jindan fell asleep not long after she lay down. Darong simply tidied up the things on the bed, but couldn't resist the sleepiness, so she lay down next to Xiao Jindan and fell asleep.

Da Rong didn’t know how long she slept. When she woke up in a daze, she only felt a warm feeling under her body.

These boys and girls are really different. Little Jindan's huge pee even made the Simmons mattress under Dayong's quilt wet.

In the middle of winter, Da Rong was afraid that he would be cold, so she hurriedly took off her wet clothes and then hurried to look for Ruyi's larger clothes. However, little Jindan was older than Ruyi and a boy after all, so after searching for a long time, the longest cotton pants she found were still too short for Jindan.

After changing Xiao Jindan's clothes, the little guy actually turned over and continued to sleep. Darong was so amused and helpless seeing him sleeping like that. She carried him to the sofa and quickly removed the quilt and changed the bedding.

While they were changing, Jin Er's wife finally came back and knocked on Darong's door again.

"Oh, look, your kang is stained with urine. I'll take it apart, clean it and make it again for you."

As Jin Er's wife spoke, she reached out to pick up the wet quilt in Darong's hand.

"It's okay, it's okay. My Ruyi always pees too. Besides, I was planning to take it apart and clean it. It's almost the New Year."

Darong turned and faced sideways towards Jin Er's wife, preventing her from reaching the quilt in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Darong asked worriedly as she saw a bloodstain on Sister-in-law Jin's face.

After hearing what Darong said, Mrs. Jin seemed to have completely broken down and tears started to flow down her cheeks.

Seeing her like this, Darong put the quilt in her hand aside and pulled her to sit on the bed.

After crying for a while, Mrs. Jin finally felt a little better.

"Ruyi's mother, I'm really not afraid of you laughing at me. Ever since the day I married into the Jin family, I have been trying to change the family tradition. We can't choose the older generation, and the younger generation still has to live their lives in the future."

Mrs. Jin Er looked at little Jindan who was still sleeping soundly on the sofa, and tears began to flow uncontrollably again. She stood up and walked to the sofa and sat next to her son.

In fact, Darong had long seen that Jin Er's wife was a person who wanted to strive for success and live a good life, but she also knew that people like Jin Fu were difficult to change.

Although she sympathized with Jin Er's wife's situation, this was her family's business after all. She would listen to what she said, and would not ask any more questions if she didn't want to say anything.

Darong poured some hot water for Jin Er's wife and said a few simple words of comfort. Then Jin Er's wife took the little golden egg back to her room.

Darong had actually replenished a lot of energy by taking a nap at noon. Now she was completely awake. She changed the quilt and washed the quilt that was soaked with urine. It was already dark.

Thinking that the road to Erdaohezi was long and there was a long section of road without lights in the village, Darong had to give up the idea of ​​going to Erdaohezi.

Zhong Yunxing's factory was still rushing to meet the deadline, and he had been working long shifts for several days in a row. Darong looked at the watch and saw that it was still early for Zhong Yunxing to get off work. She was not in a hurry to cook, so she turned on the TV and watched some shows at home.

But before she had watched for a while, she heard a voice of cursing in the yard, and Darong immediately recognized it as Jinfu's voice.

Because just now when Jin Er's sister-in-law came back, she had a wound on her face. Although she didn't say the specific reason, after she sat on the bed and cried for a few words, Darong already understood that it must be because of Jin Fu again.

After Darong turned down the volume of the TV, she listened carefully to Jin Fu's curses. However, after Jin Fu had been cursing for a long time, all he could say was one sentence, which was that he was just being strict with Jin's second sister-in-law and that as a daughter-in-law, she had no right to control her.

Darong knew Jin Fu's character and was naturally very annoyed with him. After Jin Fu had been shouting and kicking the door for a long time, Jin's second sister-in-law probably couldn't stand it anymore and finally opened the door and started arguing with him.

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of muffled crackling sounds, and then the little golden egg's heart-wrenching cry.

Darong was originally unwilling to get involved in other people's affairs. Living in a large compound, there was no privacy as people gossiped about other people's affairs. If someone's family made a fuss, the neighbors would not want to get involved too much.

But as soon as Xiao Jindan started crying, Darong really couldn't sit still. She didn't know if it was because Xiao Jindan was about the same age as Ruyi, but after spending most of the day together, Darong actually liked him very much.

Darong ran straight to Jin Er's wife's door without thinking.
