1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Qin Huairu curled her lips, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Xiao's behavior.

She walked forward and took the clothes from Zhang Wanrong's hand.

"You've given me the clothes, so you can go now."

After saying that, Qin Huairu pushed Zhang Wanrong out.

"Hey, Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Don't push me." Zhang Wanrong was about to break free from Qin Huairu.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu pushed her to the door and closed it directly.

Leaning against the door, Qin Huairu pouted and looked at Chen Xiao with a slightly angry look.

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"Um...I'm going to the kitchen to wash up."

Zhang Wanrong knocked on the door for a while without success, then rode away on her bicycle.

"Just wait, Qin Huairu, I'll be back."

.......

A little episode passed.

Chen Xiao's work continued as usual, and Zhang Wanrong had no contact with Chen Xiao since the last incident.

In the past few days, Konjac Candy has gradually been back on track, with 500 servings sold almost every day. After deducting costs and expenses, the company can make a net income of 80 yuan every day.

In just one week, Chen Xiao's total assets reached 600 yuan again.

This is more than what he could earn in a month working hard at the steel mill.

Sometimes Chen Xiao wondered whether he should quit his job at the steel mill.

But as soon as he had the thought of quitting his job, Chen Xiao rejected the idea. He had so much money to spend without a job, and he might be reported one day.

That day, Yan Bugui came to the door with a carp he had just caught.

"Is Chen Xiao home? Uncle, I brought you some fish."

"Uncle, this fish is really fat today!"

Chen Xiao took the fish and said casually.

This is the third fish Yan Bugui sent. If he sends two more, he can make up the four dollars.

"That's right. Every fish is carefully selected by Uncle San. We ensure that each one weighs about three pounds, and then we send them to you." Yan Bugui said with a smile.

Then he looked into the house and saw Qin Huairu cooking in the kitchen. Smelling the aroma of fried pork, Yan Bugui almost drooled.

She leaned forward and said to Chen Xiao with a smile.

"Chen Xiao, Third Uncle has a bottle of good wine at home. How about I bring it over later and we can have a good drink together?"

Chen Xiao immediately understood what Yan Bugui meant.

"Third Uncle, my Huairu is pregnant. I don't feel like drinking recently. Let's wait for another day."

"Huai Ru's pregnancy has nothing to do with you. Your third aunt is about to give birth, but I still drink every day."

"It's out of the way."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui leaned forward and walked inside.

Chen Xiao didn't tolerate him and just closed the door with the fish.

"Next time, Uncle San."

"Hey..." Yan Bugui angrily punched the air.

In the kitchen, Qin Huairu brought the fried pork and cabbage to the table.

"Chen Xiao, is the Third Uncle here to deliver fish again today?"

"Yes, kill the fish and make soup later." Chen Xiao handed the carp to Qin Huairu.

After a while, the crucian carp soup was ready and the two of them sat around the table eating it.

Qin Huairu took a sip of the fish soup and looked up at Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, my mother heard about my pregnancy and said she's going to bring an old hen over to see me in a couple of days."

These days, Qin Huairu has been helping Qin Huaiguo make konjac noodles.

Qin Huaiguo had to transport, produce and sell 500 kilograms of konjac every day, and he was too busy to handle it all by himself.

So Qin Huairu would go over to help whenever she had time.

"That's fine, then our family can go to Quanjude for a meal."

"Ah? Wouldn't that be such a waste? Quanjude's roast duck is a bit too expensive." Qin Huairu said with a frown.

But no matter what she said, she had no control over what Chen Xiao proposed.

After all, Chen Xiao is the head of the family.

After dinner, Chen Xiao pushed his bicycle and prepared to go to Qinhuai State to take a look.

Before the car had moved two steps, Yi Zhonghai came up to them with a smile and a bag of peanuts in his hand.

It weighs about half a pound.

"Chen Xiao, this is what your aunt brought from the countryside. Take it back and try it."

"Uncle, the sun hasn't risen from the west today? Why do you think of sending me something?" Chen Xiao glanced at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly and then explained.

"Aren't we all neighbors? I want to improve our relationship."

"Neighbors? We've been neighbors for over twenty years. Why are you only thinking about improving our relationship today?"

"Hey, uncle, your arm injury has healed? Doesn't that mean you can go back to work in two days?" Chen Xiao said, looking at Yi Zhonghai's arm holding the peanuts.

"Don't you want to go to work at the factory on Monday?"

"Chen Xiao, I heard from Sha Zhu that you and..."

Before Yi Zhonghai could finish speaking, Chen Xiao interrupted him.

"Stop, stop, stop. I finally understand what you mean."

"Did you hear from Sha Zhu that I know the deputy director? And that I even went to his house for dinner?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Since you heard it from Sha Zhu, then go find Sha Zhu. Don't come to me. I don't know any deputy factory director."

Chen Xiao ignored Yi Zhonghai and continued walking out while pushing his bicycle.

"Hey... Chen Xiao, don't leave yet. That's not what I meant. Don't think too much."

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard pushing his bicycle.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Chen Xiao ran into the Jia Zhang family again.

Jia Zhang and Tingting were supporting Jia Dongxu as they walked in from outside.

At this time, Jia Dongxu's face was still a little pale, but it was much better than a few days ago.

It seems that the ants have given Jia Dongxu a lot of trouble.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Looking at Chen Xiao who was whistling and pushing his bicycle, Jia Dongxu was furious.

"Humph! Why are you so proud? It's just a bicycle."

"Just wait, I'll buy one tomorrow!!!"

"Just buy it, what does it have to do with me?"

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at him, got on his bike and left.

Tingting beside her said excitedly.

"Dongxu, are you really planning to buy a bicycle?"

Jia Dongxu nodded.

"I'll buy it tomorrow."

"Mom, there's still some money left from my dad's pension."

Jia Zhang was a little reluctant and said while shaking her head.

"No, that's the retirement money your father left me. You absolutely cannot touch that money."

"Mom, I almost died this time, but it was all because of the ants that ate yours. Don't forget the sequelae the doctor told you about!"

"Aren't you going to make it up to me?" Jia Zhang stared at Jia Zhang viciously.

These days, Tingting has been taking care of her in the hospital, but Jia Zhang has never brought her a meal.

This made Jia Dongxu very angry.

Coupled with the ant incident, Jia Dongxu felt even more resentful.

Jia Zhang had a lot of grievances in her heart but couldn't express them.

Tingting didn't even let her enter the ward these days. What else could she do?

It is said that when a man marries a wife, he forgets his mother. This statement is absolutely true.

The three of them returned to the yard, turned on the lights in the room, and Tingting called Jia Zhang to go to the kitchen to cook.
