Chapter 224 Safety first, caution first
After hearing Yang Ruihua's words, Yan Bugui rolled his eyes directly, but did not argue with the other party. This kind of thing was unnecessary.
As for whether he understands women, this kind of question is meaningless.
Anyway, he felt that Qin Huairu was also responsible for what the Jia family had done.
It is normal for Shen Zhiping to ignore Qin Huairu.
When Mrs. Jia Zhang became a widow, she was confused with many men.
Qin Huairu has been Jia Zhang's daughter-in-law for ten years, so she may have learned bad things from Jia Zhang.
Fortunately, her family's situation was average. Even if Qin Huairu wanted to find a wild man, she would not look down on incompetents like hers.
……
In the middle courtyard, the He family.
Silly Zhu came back from work, still holding a mesh bag with two lunch boxes in his hand.
This is an added bonus for him going out to make banquets for people.
Nowadays, Silly Zhu no longer picks things from the small stove in the steel rolling mill, but makes it clear to the host when making dinner for others.
Silly Zhu, who was sent to the Xishan Mine for rehabilitation, no longer had the mindless and natural mentality of before. He also learned to think twice before doing things.
"I'm back!"
Silly Zhu came in and shouted loudly.
"Dad!"
Xiaodang rushed out of the room and shouted sweetly to Silly Zhu.
"Hey!"
Silly Zhu squatted down with a smile on his face and picked up Xiaodang.
Qin Huairu also came over at the right time, reached out and took the net bag in Sha Zhu's hand, smiled and said softly, "Why are you back so late today?"
"Forget it, the host has added another table today!"
"Fortunately, the wages are five yuan extra!"
As Silly Zhu spoke, he took out the money he earned today from his trouser pocket.
Originally, he could only earn ten yuan for this trip, but because of this accident, he got an extra buck, which was much more than the simple two yuan per table.
This means that he once went to a labor camp. Otherwise, with his cooking skills, the salary for cooking a table of dishes would have been at least three yuan, unlike now, where it is only two yuan.
But even so, Shazhu never tires of it.
After all, making money is all about making money.
If his reputation hadn't been affected, and he was willing to take on private jobs like he is now, there would have been many opportunities. Unfortunately, if he makes one wrong move, he will have to suffer the consequences of his reputation being ruined for a long time.
"Are you tired?"
"Go and have a rest. I'll heat up the food and let's eat!"
Qin Huairu collected the money that Shazhu handed him and carried the net bag to heat the food.
Silly Zhu nodded, holding Xiaodang in his arms and sitting down to rest.
Qin Huairu's movements were still very fast. After all, she used to be a housewife and the income from cooking was quite good.
Although the taste is not as good as that of a professional chef like Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu has been busy outside for a day and it is really time to take a rest when he returns home.
Qin Huairu is experienced in taking care of men.
After Qin Huairu heated up the food, while eating, Qin Huairu talked about what happened during the day.
"Zhuzi, tell me, what should I do to prevent Engineer Shen from hating our family so much?"
Qin Huairu gave Shazhu a piece of meat and asked casually.
Silly Zhu thought for a moment and said: "Sister Qin, let me tell you, from now on, we should stay away from Engineer Shen!"
"He is different from us!"
"Before, we were all jerks."
"In fact, Engineer Shen warned us from the beginning, but we were stupid. Now, we have learned a lesson, but we can't take the wrong path again!"
Although Silly Zhu didn't know how to ease the relationship with Shen Zhiping, since Shen Zhiping didn't want to have contact with them now, he would just follow the other party's wishes.
As for the relationship with Shen Zhiping, they both live in a courtyard, and they are getting along slowly. They may not know when the relationship will be eased, but there is no rush for this kind of thing.
"Okay, I listen to you!"
Qin Huairu thought for a while and finally nodded.
Her mentality now is actually different from before.
In the past, she thought she could get some benefits from Shen Zhiping. After all, she was still Jia's wife at that time, her life was difficult, and she urgently needed to find some way to get some benefits.
But now, she is following Silly Zhu.
Silly Zhu's income is not bad, and he is a chef, so he can always get delicious food back.
Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat.
Silly Zhu can do all this and treats her very well.
She should be content!
Qin Huairu reached out and touched her belly gently. She was already pregnant with Shazhu's child, and they would have more children in the future.
She should stop thinking about unrealistic things.
"Sister Qin, don't worry, I will let you live a good life!"
"I swear!"
Silly Zhu raised his hand and spoke confidently.
Qin Huairu smiled at Silhu and said, "I believe you!"
She didn't know when Silly Zhu became interested in her, but he knew that Silly Zhu had had thoughts about her very early. However, at that time, she was just fooling Silly Zhu in order to get some delicious food or borrow some money from Silly Zhu.
Over the years, she was actually very sorry for Silly Zhu.
Now that she has become Shazhu's wife, she should live a good life with him.
……
Naturally, Shen Zhiping didn't know about Qin Huairu's conversation with Shazhu.
He was chatting with Liu Wanqing, and next to them, his daughter had fallen asleep.
"Daughter-in-law, let's sleep too!"
Shen Zhiping looked at his fairy-like daughter-in-law with a burning heart.
"Move gently!"
"Don't wake up my daughter!"
"Also, turn off the lights!"
"Yes!"
Shen Zhiping chuckled and turned off the light.
In the dark night, two beating hearts thumped.
There seemed to be a wild cat passing by outside the window, making a few special meows from time to time.
……
The next day, morning.
Everyone working in the courtyard set off. Although Shen Zhiping was still on vacation, he still went out with everyone. He had to send his wife and daughter to the grain bureau.
The daughter still chooses to be with her mother instead of Shen Zhiping.
Shen Zhiping felt a little sad for no reason, but his daughter didn't cling to him at all. However, that's fine, it's very convenient if he wants to do something.
There are fish in the water tank at home, and Shen Zhiping has no plans to go fishing today. He wants to go to the village in the suburbs to see if he can buy some chicks to raise.
Although at this time, there is a limit on the number of chickens and ducks that a household can keep for a long time, if you raise chickens, no one will care about them as long as you dispose of them all after they are raised.
Shen Zhiping wanted to raise a few chickens and then kill them to eat.
The chickens you raise yourself can be eaten as big as you want, unlike the chickens bought from outside, which are usually big roosters or old hens.
The shredded chicken and rattan pepper chicken that Shen Zhiping likes to eat are all made from young chickens.
I have to say that Shen Zhiping is very lucky.
He bought a few chickens without much effort, and also missed two pieces of porcelain from Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty.
Turning around the courtyard, Yang Ruihua saw the chickens Shen Zhiping bought and felt a little envious. He wanted to buy two with Shen Zhiping.
"Auntie, this is really impossible!"
"If I want to resell it to you, wouldn't it be like buying and selling?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Can't you just give me the original price?"
Yang Ruihua felt that Shen Zhiping was too particular.
Shen Zhiping laughed and said: "Auntie, do you know what the original price is? Who can guarantee that the price I mentioned will be the original price?"
"Let's forget about this!"
Did he go to a suburban village to buy chickens and resell them to Yang Ruihua at the original price? What a joke!
But if he increases the price, no, no matter whether he increases the price or not, as long as he sells it to Yang Ruihua, then someone can logically label him as a buyer, reseller, and speculator.
Once this hat is put on in this era, it is difficult to take it off.
When the storm comes in a few years, his hat may be a fatal problem.
Therefore, we must firmly refuse to agree to this matter.
"Auntie, I won't tell you anymore, I have to go back and clean up the chicken coop!"
Shen Zhiping acted very quickly. He didn't even wait for Yang Ruihua to say anything else, and took the chicks he bought back to Dongkuayuan.
Yang Ruihua looked at Shen Zhiping's leaving figure, feeling really unable to calm down for a long time.
She really wants to raise two chickens.
However, this kind of thing depends on luck.
She had been paying attention to the vegetable market for a long time, but she had never encountered anyone selling chickens.
As for going to the village to find someone to buy directly, Yang Ruihua has never thought about it. But the road was really far, and she had not been willing to spend money to go there several times before.
And she also asked Yan Bugui to help buy some chicks several times. However, although Yan Bugui had been to the village, he just walked around casually and said that he didn't see anyone raising chicks, so in the end, Returned in vain.
Shen Zhiping returned to Dongkuaoyuan, put down the chickens, and tied up his two dogs to prevent them from scaring the chickens.
After looking around the yard, Shen Zhiping finally chose a corner and surrounded a space with ready-made wooden boards and bricks at home.
In addition, a shed was built to make a nest for the chickens.
Raising chickens is not easy.
After Shen Zhiping put the chicks into the temporary chicken coop, he hurried out. He had to go to the library to borrow two books on raising chickens and come back to read them.
Although the chickens didn't cost much, his goal was to raise the chickens to eat meat. If the chickens died soon after raising them, wouldn't his work have been in vain?
When Shen Zhiping went out, he met Yang Ruihua again.
When the other party saw Shen Zhiping, he stopped him again, holding a dollar in his hand.
"Auntie, I really can't sell my chicks to you!"
When Shen Zhiping saw Yang Ruihua's persistence, he didn't feel soft at all.
It can’t be sold, it just can’t be sold!
Sometimes, unless you don't do something, once you do it, it will be like mud falling off your crotch, which is either shit or shit.
“Engineer Shen, I’m not buying from you!”
Yang Ruihua waved his hand quickly and continued, "I mean, if you go to the village again, can you help me bring back a few chicks?"
"You can buy as many as you can for one dollar!"
After Yang Ruihua finished speaking, he looked at Shen Zhiping eagerly.
Shen Zhiping spoke quickly and said, "Auntie, this is so embarrassing!"
"I won't go to the village recently!"
"About this matter, I suggest you go to Brother Jie Cheng. He works in the steel rolling mill. You ask him to ask his colleagues in the Purchasing Department. Colleagues in the Purchasing Department often go to the village. They may know where someone has raised chickens. ! ”
Shen Zhiping didn't want to help, but he still gave the other party an idea.
As for him asking colleagues in the purchasing department for help?
No kidding!
Yang Ruihua's eldest son Yan Jiecheng works in the steel rolling mill. Many people in the courtyard also work in the steel rolling mill, and Yang Ruihua is more familiar with them.
If you want to ask someone for help, then no matter who it is, it is more suitable than Shen Zhiping.
"Auntie, I still have something to do, so I have to leave first!"
Shen Zhiping nodded at Yang Ruihua and quickly pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Shen Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of thing is a problem.
He, it would be better to stay less involved in the future.
No matter why Yang Ruihua didn't think of buying chicks before, it had nothing to do with him.
Keep your distance and be cautious.
When the wind blows, who knows whether the people around are humans or ghosts.
Heading straight to the library, Shen Zhiping quickly found two professional books on raising chickens.
He borrowed the book and left directly without any intention of staying in the library to read.
This kind of place, in some historical novels, is an accident-prone area. Any literary youth, any poet, any progressive youth, all kinds of rotten fish and shrimps, may appear here.
For safety reasons, Shen Zhiping borrowed the book and ran away.
But this time, Shen Zhiping did not go back to the courtyard directly. Instead, he went to the Food Bureau and had lunch with his wife and daughter.
By the way, Shen Zhiping told his wife and daughter that he had caught a few chicks and brought them back to raise.
At this time, the daughter became interested and no longer pestered Liu Wanqing, her biological mother, but Shen Zhiping, shouting to go home and watch the chicks.
As a result, Shen Zhiping successfully won the right to accompany his daughter.
The father and daughter turned around the courtyard and entered the east courtyard. The little girl rolled her eyes and saw the enclosed chicken coop in the yard. She rushed over excitedly with her short legs.
Unfortunately, the fence of the chicken coop is a little high, and the little girl's height is still a little short.
"Dad, I can't see it!"
After hearing this, Shen Zhiping quickly walked over and picked up his daughter.
In the chicken coop, a total of eight chicks were chirping and pecking at the vegetable leaves on the ground.
The leaves of this vegetable were chopped by Shen Zhiping before going out, and they were originally placed in an earthen bowl in the corner. But now, the soil bowl has been turned over, and the broken vegetable leaves are scattered on the ground, being pecked everywhere by these little things.
"Dad, play!"
The little girl looked at those cute little chickens, waving her little arms excitedly, with special yearning in her eyes.
Shen Zhiping blinked and said, "Baby, you can't play with me!"
"Do you see their mouths?"
"It's sharp, give it a peck, it will hurt!"
The little chicken's mouth is actually not very powerful, but in order to prevent his daughter from tormenting these poor little guys, he had no choice but to lie.
After all, these chicks are meant to be eaten, not used as toys for my daughter.
What if she is not willing to kill him after this is done?
