Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

With two dollars in his pocket, Banggeng ran straight to buy cigarettes.

"Little boy, who did you buy the cigarettes for?"

"For my dad. My dad has bad legs and feet, so he asked me to run errands."

Banggeng's eyes rolled and he lied without thinking.

"for you."

Banggeng took the cigarette and ran away excitedly, as if he was afraid that if he ran slower, someone would stop him and not sell him the cigarette.

After finding a secluded place, Banggeng couldn't wait to open the cigarette, struck a match, and started smoking in big puffs.

"Awesome?"

A voice sounded, and Banggeng subconsciously turned his head. When he saw the deaf old lady, he ran away without thinking, leaving only half a cigarette on the ground, with white smoke slowly floating.

The deaf old lady walked closer with a cane and in small steps. When she saw clearly that there was smoke on the ground, a shrewd light shone in her cloudy eyes.

Just now she was absolutely sure that the one smoking was Bang Geng.

How old is he and he's already started smoking.

And judging from his guilty look, I don’t know where the smoke came from.

Thinking about what happened before, the deaf old lady had a guess, could it be stolen? !

After standing there guessing for a while, the deaf old lady stepped forward, put out the cigarette, picked it up, put it in her pocket and returned to the courtyard.

When they reached the middle courtyard, the deaf old lady paused, looked at Qin Huairu who was cleaning the windows, and asked:

"Qin Huairu, is Banggeng at home?"

"No, he went out to play early in the morning. I don't know what he did."

Qin Huairu said expressionlessly.

If it were in the past, she could still force a smile, but now, she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Whatever I do, it's all based on instinct.

"Come with me for a moment."

Seeing that Qin Huairu still had no interest in anything, the deaf old lady decided to be the bad guy herself.

Seeing that the deaf old lady left after she finished speaking, and was walking towards the old man's house, Qin Huairu had to put down the rag in her hand.

It seems like there is something very important, otherwise he wouldn't have come to an old man's house.

Looking at the old lady walking with a cane, one step at a time, Qin Huairu silently walked forward and supported her.

The deaf old lady gave Qin Huairu a thumbs up in her heart. She could understand Qin Huairu's feelings.

Losing my husband doesn't just mean the death of a family member, it also means the loss of the pillar of the family.

With old people above him and young children below him, all the burdens of life fell on Qin Huairu alone. It would be strange if he could be in a good mood.

But even so, Qin Huairu was still able to carefully help her walk, which showed that she was still very kind at heart.

Jia Dongxu is gone, but as long as Qin Huairu is still around, Yi Zhonghai and his wife will have someone to help take care of them in their old age.

For the sake of long-term interests, she must tell the truth about Banggeng's secret smoking as soon as possible.

It would be good if it could be corrected as soon as possible, but if not, it would be good for Qin Huairu to be mentally prepared.

Qin Huairu, nothing can be lost.

"Ma'am, why are you here?

If you need anything, just ask someone to call me over."

When Yi Zhonghai saw that it was a deaf old lady who came to visit, he quickly stood up and helped her to the stool.

"I came here to say something important."

As the deaf old lady spoke, she put the cigarette in her pocket, which she had not yet finished smoking, on the table.

"Is this, cigarette?

who? "

Yi Zhonghai and others took a look at the table and confirmed that it was indeed a cigarette, but they didn't know why the deaf old lady took this cigarette, and it was an unfinished cigarette.

The deaf old lady didn't say anything, but looked up at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was startled and shook her head hurriedly:

"I don't smoke."

"I know you can't, but the stick terrier can."

"what?!"

"Impossible, how can he smoke at such a young age?!"

Qin Huairu denied it without a second thought. How could a child as young as Banggeng develop such a bad habit? !

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could I be wrong?

I called him, and when he saw it was me, he threw the cigarette on the ground and ran away. "

The deaf old lady explained:

"Huai Ru, I know it's not easy for you to support the family alone now, and you may not be able to take care of the children, so I am here to be the bad guy for you.

Banggeng is a child, and it is precisely because of his young age that he might be misled by others..."

“The old lady is right.

Huairu, since the old lady saw this incident with her own eyes, there is no way around it.

Why don't you wait for Banggeng to come back and ask him in person? You can't just watch your child go astray!"

Yi Zhonghai agreed and said that he didn't believe that the Bangjime could be improved at all.

He has been led astray by Jia Zhang a long time ago. He is bad to the core. It would be strange if he could change for the better just by going to the juvenile detention center for a few days.

"Okay, if it's really Banggeng who learned to smoke, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

Qin Huairu nodded and said solemnly.

Now that Jia Zhang is gone, she has to educate Bang Geng no matter what.

"Be careful when educating your child. The baby in your belly is more important."

The deaf old lady mentioned it casually, but there were some other things she didn't say.

The situation has gone astray, if Qin Huairu is cruel enough, just ignore it.

As for the baby in her belly, take good care of it. With Qin Huairu, how bad can it be? !

"understood."

Qin Huairu was stunned, as if she had just realized the baby in her belly. Thinking that the deaf old lady was knowledgeable and had more life experience than herself, she asked:

"Old lady, do you also support me in keeping this child?"

"How can I not support you? After all, it's a life, and it's also the thought that Jia Dongxu left for you.

Even if life is difficult, it will only be difficult for a few years. When the children grow up, everything will be fine.”

The deaf old lady saw a hint of hesitation in Qin Huairu's eyes and simply spoke.

She has never cared about the affairs of the courtyard, but now that the Jia family has encountered great changes, she can't let Qin Huairu get into trouble again.

"Huai Ru, don't think about those messy things. No matter how difficult life can be, how difficult can it be?!

With your aunt and uncle here, they will definitely help you a little, don't be too pessimistic..."

"Yes, Huairu, the old lady is right. We are still here."

An old lady spoke at the right time, and Qin Huairu was quite moved.

No matter what the ultimate goal is, the only people who are willing to lend her a helping hand now are the aunties.

After leaving Yi Zhonghai's house and just about to go back home, I ran into Sha Zhu who was going out, carrying a plate of hot fried fish and chicken nuggets.

In the entire courtyard, there is really no one else who is as willing to eat as Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, I want to ask you something..."
