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

After Qin Huairu left, the entire courtyard became much quieter.

Huaihua grew up gradually under the care of an aunt and an uncle. She looked well-behaved and sensible, and not so annoying.

After not seeing Qin Huairu for a long, long time, she realized that in the future she would probably only have an uncle and an aunt. Even though she had many worries in her mind, she did not say them out loud, but just kept them quietly in her heart, hoping to grow up quickly, and then find Qin Huairu and ask her in person why she abandoned her. She clearly did nothing wrong, so why did she cruelly abandon her.

"Huaihua, from today on, you will go to school. You must listen to your teacher and do your homework carefully. OK?"

An old lady took out her newly sewn schoolbag, put it on Huaihua, and gave her some instructions.

"I know, Grandma, I will study hard."

Huaihua nodded and said word by word that no matter what, she was still very grateful to her aunt and uncle. After all, without them, she didn't know where she would be at this moment.

"Grandma, I'm going to school."

After putting on her schoolbag and tidying up her clothes, Huaihua waved goodbye to the aunt, and then skipped off to school.

He Xiaochen has grown up now and can play with Lele. Zhao Ying feels a lot more relaxed now. Apart from watching the two of them play together without bumping into each other, she can also do things she likes at other times.

Sha Zhu is still the team leader of the steel rolling mill's kitchen. His cooking skills are improving day by day, and he is getting more and more outside work. Sometimes, he is even invited to attend state banquets when there is a shortage of staff.

If it weren't for the freedom he had at the steel mill, he would not have refused the invitation to the state banquet. He just wanted to spend more time with his children and wife and earn some extra money.

As Sha Zhu's apprentice, Qin Kai can also stand on his own. Every time he goes out with Sha Zhu, he can get a red envelope worth a few dollars. At most, he can get ten dollars. On the other hand, this also solves the basic problem of life. He no longer clamors to not go to school. On the contrary, he enjoys this kind of life very much. He can go to school and make money at the same time, and basically no longer makes his grandmother worry.

Since the third uncle took sides in his early years, he has been protecting and following Ye Fei. He is no longer as stingy as before. His children get along well with each other, and he is also just okay with his two elders, at least in terms of appearance, no one can find fault with them.

The one who had the worst life was probably the second uncle, who always believed that a good son is made under the stick, and he either beat or scolded his own children, and he was self-centered. When the children grew up, they were not very close to the old couple. In other words, "If the father is not kind, the son will not be filial."

Ye Fei was just as smooth sailing as before, with not much change.

But the deaf old lady died within a few years. When she was around, Yi Zhonghai would occasionally have some thoughts in his mind, but he suppressed them in the end. After the deaf old lady passed away, he had no other thoughts at all, and only wanted to raise Huaihua honestly and let Huaihua take care of them in their old age.

Once Yi Zhonghai took a break, Liu Haizhong couldn't make any big waves. He was already busy taking care of the children at home, let alone other things.

Without those troublemakers, life in the courtyard became peaceful and warm. People felt the hard-earned stability and cherished it very much.

The sea is peaceful and the rivers are clear, everything is prosperous, and the whole society is developing vigorously...
