Chapter 1429 What to do if you have no money?
When Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle back to the courtyard, it was still bright.
Recently, Yang Xiaotao gets off work on time, and then either goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables or goes fishing.
Everyone in the courtyard is used to it. Looking at Yang Xiaotao, I always feel that the pace of life is slowing down.
At this moment, there is a big rooster hanging on the left side of the handlebar of Yang Xiaotao's bicycle. Its legs are tied. Its wings are drooping due to being empty for a long time, but it still flutters twice from time to time, doing its final movements. struggle.
There were three ribs hanging on the other side, tied with ropes. There wasn't much meat on them, but it still made people greedy.
There are two cabbages on the car seat behind, tied with straw ropes.
On the way back, many people’s eyes were filled with envy.
After seeing clearly that it was Yang Xiaotao, this envy became natural.
Some people even lament that if you can earn it, you can spend it.
The more you can spend, the more you can earn.
Yang Xiaotao is accustomed to these things, and even doing this is considered normal.
Don’t you just spend the money you earn?
Not to mention that I am not alone now, I am a family.
While riding his bicycle, Yang Xiaotao was still lamenting the stability of prices.
Several years have passed, and a big rooster still costs one dollar and a half.
He remembered that when he first met Ran Qiuye, he went to the vegetable market and bought a big rooster. At that time, the price was one and a half yuan.
This will be left to future generations. It is estimated that it will have to rise to two yuan if it is not doubled.
At that time, Ran Qiuye also talked a lot with the person who bought the chicken. Not only did he get two cents, he also got a handful of dried mushrooms as a gift.
Thinking of this, the scene at that time appeared on Yang Xiaotao's face.
Scenes of the past, from meeting to acquaintance, from one person to the current family, from the small circle in the courtyard to the large circle in the current machinery factory, and even communicating with more people through the platform of the machinery factory.
Yang Xiaotao felt satisfied and even proud of himself.
Along the way, my life is getting better and better, and more and more people care about me.
I have also integrated myself into this world more deeply.
What Yang Xiaotao has to do now is to live up to this opportunity.
He wants to make the people around him better and better.
The front gate of the courtyard.
Before Yang Xiaotao entered the room, he saw Yan Fugui walking out with a smile, and then came to Yang Xiaotao happily.
"Xiao Tao, come to my house for a drink tonight?"
Yang Xiaotao stopped the car and looked at Yan Fugui. If it had been before, he might have seen the big cock on Yang Xiaotao's hand. Calculative thoughts.
But now, even if he is asked to make plans, he has to chew the words and think about the consequences.
When I said these words today, there must be something else going on.
"Uncle Yan, what happy event have you encountered today?"
Yang Xiaotao asked calmly, Yan Fugui continued to smile while holding his glasses, "Hey, isn't this the boss of the family? Personally, the woman’s family came over to see me today. I think you have the highest status in this courtyard and have helped the liberation so much, so I want you to come and sit down.”
Yang Xiaotao suddenly realized that this is what happened.
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li have been divorced for more than a year. I thought they were both waiting for each other.
After all, in the original work, the two did not get divorced, and they ended up happily reunited.
So Yang Xiaotao always felt that the two of them would still be together.
Unexpectedly, now Yan Jiecheng has given up waiting?
No wonder I heard Liu Yuhua say two days ago that the third aunt was walking around with the third aunt in the street. I thought it was just the old man in the family who was anxious, but unexpectedly, Yan Jiecheng actually said it.
"Don't wait?"
Yang Xiaotao asked, Yan Fugui looked embarrassed, and then said helplessly, "Isn't this also thinking about getting back together!"
"But I already had it last month. get married."
"There is no need to tremble here. While we are still young, we can quickly find another one."
While talking, Yan Fugui expressed his concern about Yan Jiecheng's divorce from Yu Li. Still quite critical.
In his heart, Yu Li, his daughter-in-law, did a good job.
If she wants to look good, she is still a female factory worker, and she is willing to live in a small house with Yan Jiecheng, who takes good care of her inside and out.
What’s more important is how much money is paid every month.
It's a little worse than Ran Qiuye's in the courtyard, but at least it's much better than Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru's.
It can be said that marrying Yu Li is a blessing for Yan Jiecheng and a blessing for the Yan family.
It's a pity that his son failed to live up to his expectations, and such a good wife was lost.
Alas!
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao reacted. Although it was different from the original work, there were so many different things because of his arrival. This was only a small matter.
Besides, what does this matter have to do with him?
He nodded indifferently and didn't ask about the woman, but he didn't want to get involved.
"Third uncle, someone is coming to my house tonight, so I won't go there."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the door of Yan Fugui's house, then raised what he was carrying and politely refused.
The purpose of Yan Fugui letting him go was very simple, which was to give Yan Xie a platform.
Given his status in these four-nine cities, it is estimated that the girl’s parents will agree after hearing about it.
After all, if there is a capable person in the same courtyard, it will be easier to do some things.
But are he and Yan Jie mature?
At best, we can be regarded as the next-door neighbors who look up but never look down.
And shouldn't Yan Jiecheng come out on his own for this kind of thing?
Let dad take the lead, haha.
Besides, he and the Yan family have a normal neighborly relationship.
To put it bluntly, it is better to be close to the Wang family of the Intermediate Court.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao refuse, Yan Fugui sighed in his heart, knowing that his boss was still ineffective.
"That's it, I'll set up two tables later and treat you to a drink."
Yan Fugui pretended to smile, and Yang Xiaotao nodded and hurried his bicycle to the central courtyard. Go.
After Yang Xiaotao left, the third aunt came over with a basin in her hand, "Master, did he agree?"
Yan Fugui sighed and shook his head, "No, he won't come over tonight!"
"Oh, um, why can't he come over? We made an agreement with them!"
< br>"What can we do!"
After the words fell, a flash of disappointment flashed in Yan Jiecheng's eyes at the door.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with Yang Xiaotao. When the time comes, he would admit his mistake and say a few polite words. I believe that with Yang Xiaotao's current status, he doesn't need to be on the same level as him.
At that time, the woman’s family will meet Yang Xiaotao, and this blind date will definitely be successful.
And if the relationship is good, I can also ask Yang Xiaotao to arrange a job. This kind of trivial matter is just a matter of Yang Xiaotao's words.
He had heard that Yang Xiaotao let several people enter the machinery factory, and it was still a formal establishment in the back kitchen.
His words are more effective than the street office.
But in his opinion, it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that Yang Xiaotao wouldn't come.
All calculations came to nothing.
Creak
Yan Jiecheng clenched the doorframe tightly, veins popping up on his face, full of anger.
Hearing the creaking sound, Yan Fugui looked up and saw the figure disappearing at the door, feeling dissatisfied.
If you don't care about your own affairs, what's the point of letting your father stand out?
This eldest son used to think it was good to be obedient.
But now it seems that apart from learning my own calculation skills, there is nothing else I can do.
Moreover, I haven’t learned anything about scheming. You can’t be proud if you succeed in scheming, and you can’t take the blame if you fail in scheming.
This is not as good as the second child.
At this moment, Yan Fugui missed his second son. At least the money he sent back was real money.
"What to do? Let's figure it out!"
Yan Fugui was too lazy to go into the house, took out the fishing rod from the corner, stopped riding his bicycle, and walked out of the alley.
"Master, people are coming soon, why are you going?"
Yan Fugui stopped, thinking over and over again in his mind, then sighed and put the fishing rod back where it was. .
"I'm going to make soy sauce!"
He said and left the front yard gate.
Intermediate Courtyard.
Jia Zhang was sitting on a chair, looking at the hair in her hands, her triangular eyes dull.
Since the Chinese New Year, my headaches have gotten worse and worse, and the hair on my head has fallen out.
Especially on the top of her head, there was originally a piece missing. Fortunately, her hair was long and she could cover it up, but now it has started to fall out all around, making it difficult for her to even cover it up.
Normally, I take good care of my hair. I rarely use the comb now for fear of catching a bunch of hair.
Thinking about what I am like now, if I go out, I will be laughed at.
Can I stay at home, and how long can I stay?
Looking up at home, ever since Qin Huairu married Shazhu, the home has been deserted. In the past, when Bangge was around, there were more or less people talking to her.
But now, Xiao Danghuaihua lives in her aunt's house. When we see her on weekdays, she just calls her "grandma" and runs away, not paying attention to her at all.
If it weren’t for the fact that her surname was Jia, she would have thought she didn’t have these two children.
Even so, this gap made her feel very uncomfortable.
Especially because Shazhu originally promised to give her three yuan of pension money every month. This has been delayed for half a year, and she hasn't seen a penny.
I went to ask for money, but Silly Zhu said there was no money and asked her to ask Qin Huairu for it.
But when she asked Qin Huairu for it, Qin Huairu said that she would come here every month to eat or something, and three yuan was not enough. If it weren't for the sake of her previous kindness, she would still get it.
This made her angry. She asked for money just to buy painkillers.
But now it’s okay. What we said before will no longer count at this point, right?
The food is not delicious either. Every time the lunch box that Silly Zhu steals back, she gets only a little oil and water, and even only a small piece of fat. Is it enough for her to eat?
Also, in addition to steamed buns, Dunton also has corn pancakes.
Even the steamed buns with noodles are not given.
This day is too uncomfortable.
But even though she was feeling uncomfortable, she didn’t dare to say anything more!
Nothing else, offending Qin Huairu is equivalent to offending Shazhu and offending Aunta.
How will I eat in the future?
You know, she has a rural household registration and is not established to supply food.
While feeling sorry for himself, there was a rooster crow in his ears,
Jia Zhang immediately leaned on the window and saw Yang Xiaotao driving in with a big rooster hanging on the car. , and pork ribs.
I couldn’t help but feel my stomach growling and my mouth growling, looking for the taste of meat.
Seeing this, I felt sour in my heart, and the beauty of the past emerged in my mind.
The past is still vivid in my mind.
That year, their family bought a sewing machine, and the whole alley was envious of her, praising her for marrying a capable man.
That year, Dongxu married Qin Huairu and had a child. Their Jia family blossomed.
Those years.
The children are taken care of, and there is no need to cook or do any work. You can also enjoy the filial piety of your son and daughter-in-law, and you can still get five yuan of pension money every month.
Coupled with the care of the elder in the courtyard, he is also a well-known figure in the courtyard.
In those days, it was no different from the landowners and old ladies in the past.
At that time, their family could also eat meat.
But now...
Looking at Yang Xiaotao returning home, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt heartbroken.
How long has it been since she had chicken?
When did she end up like this?
Looking at the reflection on the window glass, Mrs. Jia Zhang could not help but feel sad. She pressed her face against the cold glass, tears streaming down her face, mixing the ashes on the glass together, leaving a trail of turbidity marks.
"Old Jia, Dongxu! Where are you!"
"My life is so miserable now! If you leave, no one will care about me, an old woman!" ”
"Old Jia, Dongxu! Now, I have nothing, everything is gone..."
More tears flowed from his face, and his voice became sad.
"Old Jia! I'm sorry for you, I didn't protect this family!"
"Old Jia, Dongxu, our family..."
"We, this family..."
Suddenly, the crying on Jia Zhang's face stopped abruptly. Regardless of the mud in her mouth, she murmured softly, and then showed an excited expression.
