Chapter 127 Returning to Hometown for the New Year
Qin Huairu returned home and was slapped in the face by Jia Zhang before she could speak.
Qin Huairu was so wronged. She was about to succeed, but this woman ruined her good deeds. If it were an ordinary person, who could endure such a bad breath?
Jia Zhang took off her clothes and threw them on the ground, then pulled the quilt over her body.
"Humph. If it weren't for the sake of pregnancy, I would kick you to death!"
Jia Zhang said harshly, "I asked you to ask for something, not to let you get wild."
"You are so close to that little beast, do you think I can't see it?"
"You prodigal, why did my Jia family find you as my wife? Look, What’s so good about you?”
“You still have the nerve to talk to this family because you have made me suffer?”
Jia Zhang is a paper tiger outside, but a tyrannical overlord at home.
Facing Qin Huairu, he was not polite.
Qin Huairu trembled in her heart.
"Why am I sorry for this family? It was you who asked me to go, it was you who asked for things, and it was you who was worried about me. What did I do wrong?"
Qin Huairu's various grievances completely exploded at this moment.
"You, you, how dare you speak like this? You ungrateful person, you, make me so angry."
"Ah..."
"I can't live anymore, I'm not filial! Someone is coming soon, come and see, my daughter-in-law bullied her mother-in-law."
Jia Zhang had no choice but to Wandering around, the door was pushed open at that moment.
Jia Dongxu walked back from outside, walked around the street, and went to sit with a few people with whom he had good relations.
The Chinese New Year is coming, everyone is busy, but no one pays attention to him, and finally he comes back empty-handed with a look of unlucky look on his face.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother crying on the bed covered with quilt. Then I saw Qin Huairu standing aside, and I kicked Qin Huairu without even thinking about it.
Qin Huairu sat down on the ground with a thud, looking at Jia Dongxu in astonishment, tears of grievance falling.
But Jia Dongxu didn't even look at it. He walked up to Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Dongxu, you wife is unruly."
"Mom asked her to order something to eat, so she came up to Yang Xiaotao. This is to..."
"Dongxu, I didn't. Mom asked me to go, and I didn't do anything sorry for you!"
Qin Huairu didn't dare to let Jia Zhang talk nonsense, so she quickly explained.
But Jia Dongxu didn't listen, turned around and shouted, "Just go if I let you go."
"Is the thing coming?"
Qin Huairu was stunned. "Dongxu!"
She didn't expect that Jia Dongxu didn't take her seriously at all, and even the grievances he suffered were ignored, and all he cared about was whether he got something.
For a moment, Qin Huairu was speechless.
“No!”
“Why are you still here before I ask for it? Didn’t you see that mom’s clothes are wet? Wash them quickly, we have to wear them tomorrow.”
Jia Dongxu scolded Qin Huairu, not caring that Qin Huairu was also wearing wet clothes.
Qin Huairu couldn't believe her ears. She had to wash clothes at night, in such a cold weather, and without hot water. It would cost her her life.
"Dongxu, how do you wash it at night?"
"Oh, how do you wash it? Of course you wash it by hand."
"Go quickly, or you will make mom unhappy. , don’t come back to bed until you finish washing.”
With that said, Jia Dongxu went to see Bangge, while Jia Zhang on the other side was lying on the bed, covering herself with a quilt.
As for Qin Huairu, neither of them even glanced at her.
Qin Huairu endured the pain on her face, picked up her clothes and came to the yard aggrievedly.
Bang bang bang
Chachacha
The sound of washing clothes sounded in the middle of the night.
Qin Huairu shook her clothes vigorously, her ten fingers were red from the cold water, and the bruises on her face were hidden in the dark night.
The sound of washing clothes kept coming, and several people who woke up cursed and opened the door.
After using the moonlight to see clearly that it was Qin Huairu, he walked into the room again cursing.
"The Jia family is really rich."
"The old godly woman is teasing her daughter-in-law again..."
"Qin Huairu is also a pitiful person..."
Sympathetic words kept coming, and Qin Huairu felt a little comfort in his heart.
Her fingers were cold and her eyes looked towards the ear room where the light was still on. A figure was vaguely visible, but it made her teeth chatter with hatred.
Yang Xiaotao finished the chicken and saved the soup in the pot for instant noodles tomorrow. After cleaning up, he read for a while to dispel the bad luck at night, and then fell asleep.
As he said, the Chinese New Year is approaching and every household wants to be more stable, and he doesn’t want to cause trouble.
Otherwise, if this was normal, he would have arranged it for Jia Zhang.
The next day on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Xiaotao got up early and went out with gifts to visit Zhou Peng and Wang Fa's friends' homes. In the afternoon, he went to Director Wang's home.
After telling Director Wang that he was going back to the village to celebrate the New Year this year, he directly took out two bottles of wine and asked him to take them back to honor the old party secretary. Yang Xiaotao couldn't refuse and had to accept them.
Back in the courtyard at night, Yang Xiaotao brought back some things, which naturally made the animals in the courtyard uncomfortable.
The most uncomfortable thing is the Jia family. They are more sad than usual this year.
Not only did he add a good joke, he also lost a lot of money because of the Full Moon Wine incident, and he didn't have much savings. If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's help, it would be hard to say whether this year would be a New Year.
Going to Uncle Chen’s house for dinner in the evening is a good wish in advance.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Xiaotao got up early and packed his things.
The sun had just warmed up when a man wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket walked in outside the yard.
“Brother Stone!”
Yang Xiaotao walked forward enthusiastically. Yang Shitou was cold and looked like he had to hurry up in the dark.
"Xiaotao, hey!"
"Brother Shitou, come in quickly. Why don't you eat if you haven't eaten yet?" . ”
“It’s late on the way, okay!” Yang Shitou showed a simple smile, which made Yang Xiaotao feel more cordial.
Pulling Yang Shitou into the house, Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of ham from the kitchen, soaked two packages of instant noodles in boiling water, and scrambled two eggs. He saw Yang Shitou's eyes tightened.
"Brother Shitou, are you okay with your grandpa?"
Hearing the question, Yang Shitou remembered his explanation and quickly said, "Okay, you're fine!"
Look There was some envy in Yang Xiaotao's smile.
Soon the instant noodles were soaked and the eggs were taken out of the pot. A large bowl was handed to Yang Shitou.
"Eat quickly, we have to move things later!"
Yang Xiaotao pointed to the things packed aside. Yang Shitou just glanced at them and couldn't take them out.
In that pile of things, at first glance, there were four or five big bags. It was hard to see what was bulging inside, but with his nose that could smell the smell of meat from a mile away, there must be meat inside, and Still a lot.
In addition, what he saw was the wine bottle next to him, which instantly made his Adam's apple surge.
“My dear, are these all?”
The noodles in Yang Shitou's hand suddenly lost their flavor.
Yang Xiaotao nodded casually, "It's not much, take it back to greet the villagers."
Yang Shitou's eyes widened, "Isn't this much? Our village has never had so much wine during the Chinese New Year! "
Yang Xiaotao didn't care after hearing this. He knew the situation in rural areas in this era. Even in these forty-nine cities, there were not many families with so many things.
The reason why I can make up for this is not only because I earn more, but also because of the rewards from the system.
In the exchange column, you can use credits to exchange for supplies and equipment. In addition to extra money every month for fishing and cooking skills, there are also food stamps, meat stamps and other scarce supplies.
With these, Yang Xiaotao, who looks "lavish" to outsiders, can save these things.
Of course, the part taken out is only a small half of the space.
Yang Shitou sighed with emotion, and was soon woken up by his stomach growling. He picked up the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Yang Xiaotao walked aside and started to pack his clothes.
You should bring some clothes with you when you get home. Even though they are all used in the space, they should also look good.
After a while, the backpack was full. In addition to clothes and shoes, there was also a hundred yuan, in various denominations. The big ones were used for errands, and the small ones were used as lucky money for a festive occasion.
Putting on a new military coat, a watch, and a backpack slung across his body, he looked like a young man of the times.
Here Yang Shitou had already finished the noodles, drank all the soup, and wiped his lips at the end. If he hadn't gone out, he would have wanted to lick the bowl again.
Feeling his bulging belly, Yang Shitou became even more enthusiastic about Yang Xiaotao.
For no other reason than this meal, the family cannot eat it once a year.
“We have something to talk about when we go home!”
Yang Shitou thought about going back to the village to show off, and his expression became excited.
After a while, the two began to move things into the car.
“Brother Shitou, these are clothes and shoes, put them at the bottom!”
"This is flour and oil, don't pour it!"
"Oh, be careful, this is eggs, slow down!"
"These meats are ready."
Yang Xiaotao reminded Yang Shitou while moving things, which made the neighbors in the courtyard full of emotion.
Are you going home for the New Year? This is moving!
Yan Fugui leaned against the door, calculating how much Yang Xiaotao spent on this trip.
The eyes of the three aunts next to her were shining, looking at the lump of meat on the car with a longing expression.
Of course, the basket of eggs and the oil noodles were shocking to my eyes.
Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu were together, muttering, "It must be the family fortune left by Lao Yang."
Jia Dongxu nodded, and Jia Zhang followed suit.
Only Qin Huairu, who was holding the stick behind her, knew that Yang Xiaotao had been looking for doctors everywhere for Lao Yang's body, including several barefoot doctors, and spent countless amounts of money.
Others don't know it yet, but she doesn't know it. She has been deceived several times and spent a lot of money to get a wife.
In all these ways, the money he borrowed emptied his family's fortune, and he even borrowed some money.
However, now she also has some doubts. How could Yang Xiaotao save so much in just over a year?
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were also shocked. They did not expect Yang Xiaotao to buy so many things.
Although people in the courtyard said that Yang Xiaotao had bought a lot these days, they didn't expect so many.
"Lao Yi, Yang Xiaotao doesn't usually live a normal life."
Hold the teapot in Liu Haizhong, not afraid of the freezing weather.
Yi Zhonghai was thoughtful, "Tell me, could it be..."
Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes, "I have to talk to his third uncle about this matter. I'll go to the front yard." ”
Yang Xiaotao and the other two packed up their things, told Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, then got on the donkey cart and headed out.
In this era, apart from bicycles comparable to luxury cars, most of the transportation options available to ordinary people in this era were donkey carts and horse-drawn carriages.
Sitting on the streetcar, Yang Xiaotao held on to the piles of objects. Yang Shitou in front took the lead and took the lead to walk out of the city with a brisk pace.
Watching the donkey cart drive away, Liu Haizhong walked up to Yan Fugui and patted his shoulder hard.
Yan Fugui came back from his calculations, saw his bangs, and muttered, "One hundred yuan, one hundred yuan!"
"What one hundred yuan?"
Yan Fugui's eyes flashed, "The total amount of money needed to buy those things for this guy must be at least one hundred yuan."
"This guy , It’s really hard to live.”
Yan Fugui was heartbroken, how could anyone live like this?
We ate it during the New Year, and drank the northwest wind after the New Year.
Liu Haizhong was also surprised, but he was still convinced of Yan Fugui's arithmetic skills.
He said one hundred yuan, which was definitely more than less.
The thoughts in my heart became more and more determined.
"Third uncle, you have also seen that this boy from the Yang family usually..."
After hearing this, Yan Fugui's eyes were full of calculations.
