Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Seeing that Sha Zhu had gone back into the house, Yang Jianguo also lifted the pot lid, and the aroma of cured meat bubbling in the broth filled the room.

The irregularly shaped pancakes stuck to the side of the pot looked rather strange.

But even if it looks ugly, as long as it's edible, it's fine.

As he put the pot lid on, Yang Jianguo heard someone swallowing hard at the door.

Turning my head, I saw Xiao Dang peering inside, clinging to the doorframe.

Upon seeing him, she smiled sweetly: "Uncle Yang."

"Xiao Dang, come in." Yang Jianguo waved with a smile and sat down on a small stool in front of the stove.

"Why haven't you come to Uncle Yang's house lately? What, have you forgotten?" Looking at Xiao Dang in front of him, Yang Jianguo used a fire hook to open the small drawer of the stove.

There were some peanuts and two wrinkled potatoes inside.

The aroma of potatoes wafted out, and Xiao Dang couldn't help but swallow again.

Then she said softly, "Mom won't allow it. She said I can't go into other people's houses to ask for food."

Since being taken back as an apprentice by Yang Jianguo, Qin Huairu has cherished this opportunity even more.

At the same time, I remembered all the rules he mentioned very clearly.

Hope ignited in my heart, and I held my breath.

Qin Huairu just wanted to rely on herself to make a good living.

They've become incredibly successful, standing out from the crowd and inspiring envy.

Jealousy is best; the more jealous, the better.

She, Widow Qin, a... widow, was determined to step ahead of those people.

Therefore, Qin Huairu always kept these rules on her lips.

Because she wanted to achieve what she desired.

Their only hope was to follow Yang Jianguo.

Only by becoming Yang Jianguo's apprentice and learning the techniques properly can I improve my own abilities.

Only then will she have the opportunity to realize what she wants.

You can't take things from others, you can't rely on others; you have to earn your living entirely through your own abilities.

Qin Huairu repeats these words to herself countless times every day.

While feeling exhausted, I also felt a completely different spirit than before, so I shared this with my child.

Since it's good, we should tell the children about it so they can learn from it.

Qin Huairu was truly devoted to her child.

They wish everyone was outstanding, and that each of them would be better than them and live a better life in the future.

To be honest, Qin Huairu has been spending less time with her child.

The little things you can teach your child are actually more effective than ten or a hundred sentences you used to say.

Not only Xiao Dang, but even Bang Geng has become well-behaved.

Especially after Qin Huairu brought it up and gave him a severe beating.

Like before, they would lie on the ground and roll around all the time.

Now we can't see any of them at all.

Petty theft is out of the question; what Bang-geng fears most right now is, "I'll have Sha-zhu cut off your hand."

Whenever Banggeng thought of the day Shazhu tried to cut off his hand, he would think of Granny Jia's face, which was neither human nor ghost, and was terrifying.

Not only did he give up his bad habits, but he also became much closer to his grandmother.

Granny Jia was heartbroken, and now she has to busy herself with studying, working, and reforming.

They also needed to find a way to brainwash Qin Huairu...

I tried to persuade her to contribute to my retirement savings.

Granny Jia was too busy to pay attention to her beloved grandson.

Anyway, the child is right in front of me. As long as he's alive and well, that's good enough.

After this period of learning, Granny Jia also realized that she had spoiled him too much in the past.

Let a child ride on his grandmother's head and act like a tyrant.

Is this even reasonable?!

Chapter 165 Every Household Rejoices

"Your mother is right. To be a good person, you have to rely on yourself. Being able to earn your own living is what makes you capable, you know?"

Xiao Dang nodded obediently, unsure whether she should take the sweet potato from his hand.

Yang Jianguo cut the sweet potato in two and said with a smile, "Eat up, this is from Uncle Yang."

Xiao Dang then took it, her little hands burning from the heat as she bounced it back and forth, blowing on it as she said, "Thank you, Uncle Yang."

"Mmm, good girl." He patted her head.

Yang Jianguo pulled up a small stool and had her sit down facing him, saying she could leave after she finished eating.

Xiao Dang blew on the sweet potato in his hand to cool it down, and then ate it little by little.

She discovered that the sweet potato skin had been washed.

Stuffing the roasted sweet potato skin, skin and all, into your mouth offers a unique and delightful experience.

After finishing the roasted sweet potato, Xiao Dang wiped his mouth and licked his teeth with his tongue.

Only then did he happily thank Uncle Yang and say goodbye.

Although I wanted to eat the meat in the pot, Mom and Uncle Yang both said no.

You can only accept what isn't yours, unless it's offered to you voluntarily.

If they won't give it to you, you can't take it.

So, Xiao Dang left.

There were other reasons that helped the little girl resist her cravings.

The Jia family's life has improved recently.

Qin Huairu bought some meat to stew this month.

For three days in a row, the family ate meat scraps. This time, Xiao Dang not only ate meat scraps, but also dipped steamed buns in the meat broth.

She also ate two large pieces of meat, which her mother personally picked out for her.

So, as long as I'm craving something...

But I can hold back now, unlike before...

The meat scraps were untastable, and not a drop of broth remained.

It's a soup made from leftover bones.

Grandma and brother had to drink first, and Xiao Dang could only use the last bit of water left in the pot to taste it.

Things are different now. Mom will protect me and side with me.

After the New Year, Xiao Dang will have to go back to school.

I heard that you can learn a lot at school, and then Xiao Dang can help his mother with chores.

Earning money to support the family.

Xiao Dang wants to earn lots and lots of money to buy Mom nice clothes and a new quilt...

I need to buy another pair of new shoes; damn it, the soles are all torn.

Oh, and Uncle Yang and Aunt Yingzi too.

Xiao Dang also wants to buy them clothes, shoes, and lots of delicious food.

Try all the foods you've never eaten before.

Carrying the innocent dreams and aspirations of a child, Xiao Dang happily ran home.

Little Dang was extremely happy today after having half a sweet potato to fill his stomach.

Ringing, ringing~

From afar, Yang Jianguo could hear the sound of a bicycle bell.

Looking up, I could see Yingzi coming from the alley in the distance.

If you run into an acquaintance, greet them warmly with, "Auntie, Mama..."

Yang Jianguo is now a hot commodity in Luogu Lane, and so is Yingzi.

She married a good man, and she herself is a permanent employee and an advanced worker in the factory.

For ordinary people, that would be an incredible skill.

Yingzi, you're so lucky!

This saying is repeated countless times in every household every day.

Especially in families with daughters, everyone hopes to find a son-in-law like Yang Jianguo.

No one dared to go around bragging that their daughter had married well.

Anyway, it's gone in the Luoguxiang area.

He always says things like, "No matter how well someone marries, there's always someone like Yingzi who married well."

One sentence is worth a hundred; one word can shut someone up.

Say?

Come here, point out the person so I can take a look. From now on, I'll praise your family.

"Yingzi." Seeing Yingzi almost at the door, Yang Jianguo waved to her.

Yingzi laughed happily, "Build the nation."

The car stopped, and Yingzi got out, saying happily, "Why did you come out? People will laugh at you."

These days, what man stands at the door waiting for a woman to get off work?

Can you really change an old idea that's been around for thousands of years just like that?

If people see this, who knows what they'll say behind my back!

"Who cares what outsiders say? Let them say it to my face if they dare." Yang Jianguo took the handlebars, not intimidated at all.

His current reputation is the result of his own hard work and dedication.

As the saying goes, justice resides in the hearts of the people, and the eyes of the masses are discerning.

You're asking what heinous crime you've committed.

His reputation might not be enough to save him from this small matter.

Yang Jianguo didn't even need to say a word; who was gossiping?

If anyone hears this, they'll definitely get a good scolding: "Jianguo loves his wife dearly, while you, who has no one to love him, are just making sarcastic remarks."

"What, does your man slap you every day? I think it's good to slap him. He should slap this lousy mouth until it's all rotten. That's what makes it satisfying."

After that, he had to come to himself.

Let's say a few words about this, claim some credit, and get Yang Jianguo to praise us.

Only then did he leave, completely satisfied.

It can be said that this reputation can both 'defend oneself' and 'serve as an ear'.

As long as it's not a big deal, someone will usually say something to comfort you.

Some people are willing to come and talk to him, show their faces in front of him, and become familiar with him.
