Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Yingzi put it on the plate and sat down opposite him.

She pressed her arms against her knees, leaned forward, and just watched him eat.

Yang Jianguo chuckled as he ate, "Want another bite?"

He brought the sweet potato to her lips, and Yingzi smiled sweetly, opened her mouth, and took a bite: "Sweet."

"It's so sweet!" Yang Jianguo took several bites with a slurping sound.

His mouth was stuffed full, and he was chewing heartily.

Seeing him eat made Yingzi feel content.

He would feed her a bite every now and then, and the two of them would eat while laughing.

Yang Jianguo finished off the small bowl of braised pork, stir-fried cabbage, and four steamed buns all by himself.

They didn't even leave any of the broth from the braised pork; they just dipped their steamed buns in it and ate it all...clean.

Seeing the empty plates and bowls on the table, Yingzi tidied them up with satisfaction.

Yingzi felt that her husband's eating habits were appalling.

It wasn't a waste of my effort to cook this meal.

After washing and rinsing him, I prepared hot water for him and gave him a good foot soak.

Yingzi rubbed his feet and pressed them firmly for a few minutes.

Yang Jianguo felt completely comfortable, and when he lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), the fatigue seemed to have passed.

Holding his wife close, the two turned off the lights and whispered sweet nothings to each other.

I could never get enough of such days in a lifetime.

In the Jia family, Qin Huairu was awakened by hunger.

I opened my eyes and found that the lights were off, and my mother-in-law and the children were all asleep.

I got up, exhausted, and went to look around the stove.

Apart from two cold cornbread buns, there wasn't even a single vegetable leaf in sight.

Qin Huairu felt sad, so she found a bowl and poured hot water into it.

Leaning against the stove, I broke the cornbread into pieces and soaked it in hot water.

I soaked the steamed buns in hot water until they were soft, and then drank a bowl of them with plain water.

Then, he quietly returned to the kang (a heated brick bed).

Qin Huairu glanced at Xiao Dang, who was curled up, and pulled the blanket up for her.

Then look at the locust flower, which is lying down asleep with its little mouth slightly open.

Qin Huairu smiled genuinely, and finally, there was Banggeng, who was sleeping soundly.

This child is a restless sleeper.

That day, all the blankets were kicked to the side.

I covered him up and looked at the well-behaved little dog sleeping soundly.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek. Her three children were her only hope for the rest of her life.

As for Granny Jia, who was sleeping like a dead pig inside.

Qin Huairu sighed with a mixture of disdain and helplessness.

Holding Xiao Dang in her arms and covering herself with a blanket, Qin Huairu drifted off to sleep again.

In the dream, Granny Jia was banished to the countryside because she had committed a crime.

Having endured countless hardships and torments, he returned to reform and, holding her hand, cried, "Huai Ru, I promise to live a good life with you from now on."

From then on, the family's life got better and better.

He bought a bicycle, a radio, and a black-and-white and color TV, becoming a household with a thousand-yuan fortune that everyone envied.

Everyone who mentions Widow Qin gives her a thumbs up and says, "Truly remarkable."

Even Yang Jianguo looked at her with satisfaction, nodding and smiling: "You've graduated."

With a shudder, Qin Huairu opened her eyes.

Looking again, he saw himself lying on his own kang (heated brick bed), and it was almost dawn outside.

Chapter 163 Yang Jianguo rests at home, Aunt Yi brings him food.

[Sign in for five consecutive days this week to receive 4 fresh eggs, 1 Insight Card, and a complete guide to basic materials science.]

While brushing my teeth, I noticed today's sign-in reward.

Yang Jianguo knew without asking that Yingzi would definitely come back with four eggs later.

Next, let's look at the Insight Card X1, which can reveal material properties and identify characteristics and vulnerabilities.

Yang Jianguo felt a surge of warmth in his heart; wasn't this exactly what he needed?

The final comprehensive guide to the fundamentals of materials science piqued his curiosity.

Where would this thing come from?

After washing up, Yang Jianguo leisurely returned to his room and took out some books from the wardrobe.

Seeing his unhurried demeanor, Yingzi urged, "You're going to be late."

"No rush, I'm not going to the factory today," Yang Jianguo replied, looking up.

"I'm not going!" Yingzi exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Jianguo once said that he only took leave for the two days of his wedding.

Since starting work, I have never skipped a shift or taken a day off.

Why are you suddenly not going today?

Yang Jianguo pointed to his head and said with a smile, "I plan to stay home, read some books, look for solutions, and give my brain a rest."

Yingzi suddenly realized, "Oh, that's how it is!"

"Alright, you can feed the chicks today. I'll go after you finish eating."

Seeing his curiosity, Yingzi explained, "Recently, the factory is recognizing advanced workers. Even if we don't get the award, we can't fall behind, can we?"

Nodding in agreement, Yang Jianguo picked up the book and ate while reading.

The movements, however, quickened somewhat.

After Yingzi finished eating, Yang Jianguo also swallowed the last bite of his steamed bun.

"Come on, I'll see you out." Yang Jianguo got up, put down his book, and went to get his coat.

Yingzi declined, saying, "No, you should rest at home. Don't you still need to study?"

"No rush. Besides, going outside for some fresh air is more conducive to thinking."

Yingzi couldn't argue with him, and after saying only a few words, she was led out the door by Yang Jianguo.

They rode their bicycles on parallel bars, walking side by side outside.

Recently, the weather has started to warm up, and the wind that blows on the face no longer feels like a knife.

They sped off like lightning, rushing to the factory gate.

Yang Jianguo stopped there, not in a hurry to leave. Seeing her get off, he pointed to his own face.

Yingzi's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still leaned over and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

Oh my god, it smells so good!

Watching Yingzi run into the factory, Yang Jianguo covered his face with his hands, feeling incredibly happy.

"Unity is strength, unity is strength..." humming the patriotic song playing on the loudspeaker by the roadside.

Yang Jianguo leisurely returned to the courtyard. As he entered the gate, he saw his newlywed wife washing up in front of the pool.

Ran Qiuye also noticed him, blushed, and asked, "Good morning, Master Yang."

"Good morning." Yang Jianguo nodded and smiled.

Seeing him park his car at the doorway, Ran Qiuye asked curiously, "Master Yang, aren't you going to work?"

Yang Jianguo responded with a smile, "I'm not going today, I'll stay home and study."

As soon as the person entered the house, they exuded a carefree and leisurely air.

Ran Qiuye felt a little envious, wondering when she could be as free and unrestrained as Yang Jianguo.

Like a poet.

Inside the room, Yang Jianguo, engrossed in his book, had no idea that he had become a poet in Ran Qiuye's eyes.

He was currently writing down common solutions to problems in his notes.

I devoured books one after another all morning.

Yang Jianguo only came to his senses when someone knocked on the door; the notebook in front of him was almost full.

But the morning was also very fruitful.

"Who is it?" Yang Jianguo opened the door and saw the person knocking.

Aunt Yi, what brings her here?

“Jianguo, I know you didn’t go to work today. I was thinking that since Yingzi isn’t here, you’ll have no one to cook for you.”

Aunt Yi picked up the lunchbox in her hand and said with a smile, "Here, I made noodles for lunch and brought you a bowl."

After hearing what she said, Yang Jianguo actually felt a bit hungry.

Seeing the pleading and conciliatory look in Aunt Yi's eyes, Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "If you're hungry, then I'll accept it."

"Take it, of course I have to take it, it was made for you."

Hearing this, Aunt Yi beamed with joy.

He handed the lunchbox to him and left happily, only to bump into Granny Jia, who had just returned from her studies.

She even cheerfully called out "Old sister-in-law," she couldn't be happier.

Granny Jia was initially curious as to what she was laughing about.

One look at the lunchbox in Yang Jianguo's hand and I understood.

Pooh…

He wasn't even a leader yet, but he was already currying favor with them.

These people are truly spineless; all they do is bully the weak and fear the strong.

I know Yang Jianguo; he's easily swayed by kindness but not by force, and he'll seize any opportunity to curry favor with me.

She glared at him and then walked home.

In her heart, however, she was extremely envious of Aunt Yi.

This means she's reconciled with Yang Jianguo and is trying to climb the social ladder.

Nowadays, everyone can see that he is the most promising person in the courtyard.

Who knows what might happen in the future, and we might have to ask him for help.

If you can build a good relationship with him, given Yang Jianguo's performance...

If something really urgent happens, he'll definitely step in to help.

If something happens to someone's family, it's a completely different story depending on whether there's a man or not.

Granny Jia regretted it; she should have married Qin Huairu to him in the first place.

In that case, shouldn't Yang Jian's family take half of all those things and let her family have their fill of meat?!

But it's too late to say anything now.

People!
