Chapter 223 You don’t understand women at all
Yang Ruihua has also learned the old Yan family's stingy and calculating tradition.
Seeing Yang Ruihua's resolute attitude, Shen Zhiping stopped saying anything. Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced. Maybe when Yang Ruihua goes to the vegetable market, if he's lucky, he can really pick it up.
Things like picking up and missing things are inherently possible.
Yang Ruihua left in a hurry.
Qin Huairu focused on Shen Zhiping and followed Shen Zhiping.
"Comrade Qin Huairu, do you have anything else to do?"
Shen Zhiping stopped and looked back at Qin Huairu.
"Engineer Shen, can I ask you a question?"
"You asked!"
"Why do you keep targeting me? Did I offend you somewhere?"
While Qin Huairu asked, there were tears in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Shen Zhiping twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Comrade Qin Huairu, I am not targeting you!"
"It's just that if you think so, there's nothing I can do about it!"
"If you insist on saying why I treat you like this, it's because of the way you are now. It's obvious that I only said a few words to you, but you act like I've bullied you!"
"Just like when I first moved to Siheyuan, you were like this, and Comrade He Yuzhu jumped out to fight for you!"
"You should understand what I said!"
"Don't pretend to be confused because you understand, no one is a fool!"
Shen Zhiping was not polite at all.
Qin Huairu stood there, speechless for a long time.
When Shen Zhiping saw this, he walked away.
If you stay in contact with Qin Huairu for a little longer, you might get into trouble.
If he had not married Liu Wanqing, if he still had the same mentality as when he first came to Siheyuan, something might have happened to Qin Huairu.
However, the person he is now is not the person he was then.
My daughter-in-law is better than Qin Huairu in everything. Unless I have a brain injury, was kicked by a donkey, and was pinched by the door panel, otherwise, I will never have any thoughts about Qin Huairu.
Maybe some people are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas and want to try wild vegetable steamed buns, but here at Shen Zhiping, it is completely impossible.
After Shen Zhiping left, Qin Huairu took Xiaodang out of the courtyard with a sad look on her face.
She is a smart person and immediately understood what Shen Zhiping meant.
It is impossible to say that she has no resentment towards Shen Zhiping. But more than anything, Qin Huairu resented Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhang, and Bangge!
When Shen Zhiping first came to Siheyuan and was unfamiliar with the place, they forced her to go to Shen Zhiping to borrow money.
At that time, Qin Huairu could be sure that Shen Zhiping looked at her differently, and it was a little more intense than the way Silly Zhu looked at her.
But later, when Shen Zhiping looked at her again, his eyes changed.
Compared with Silly Zhu's lack of brains, Shen Zhiping is indeed an engineer. He has a quick mind and must have seen through their plan.
I regret it!
Qin Huairu regretted it very much, but she also felt wronged.
She was a woman, weak and helpless. Faced with the instigation of her husband and mother-in-law, and the crying of her son, what could she do?
……
Shen Zhiping didn't know Qin Huairu's thoughts, nor did he want to know.
After he returned home, he first cut the fat of the pork he bought into small strips and squeezed the oil.
There is no way, even if he has a lot of gas coupons, to ensure that the family eats oil, he still needs to extract oil from pork.
In this era, all kinds of supplies are really in short supply.
Things like lard suet are rare even in meat factories.
When there are more monks and less meat, if you want to meet the needs, you have to rely on your own ability, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, etc. This is a must.
Shen Zhiping burned a lot of oil.
As for the oil residue, it is also a good thing. When you stew in the future, add a little to it, and the dish will definitely be fragrant.
After finishing the oil, Shen Zhiping started to make lunch.
There was not much fuss, I just used the oil pot to paste the pancakes, took out the pickles I bought from outside, and made a casual meal.
After lunch, Shen Zhiping went out again. He was going to buy a few large tanks and come back.
My daughter likes to eat fish and shrimp so much that she buys a few large tanks. If she is lucky and sees fish or shrimps in the market, she buys them back. If she can’t finish them all, she puts them in the tank to keep.
Originally, it would be okay to have a pool in the yard, but my daughter is still young, and it would be bad if she accidentally falls into the pool.
Safety comes first.
Shen Zhiping arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and directly selected the largest water tank and delivered it to his door.
When the four large water tanks were delivered to the courtyard, several women comrades in the front yard were surprised and curious when they saw this situation.
"Comrade Shen, what are you doing?"
Generally speaking, one water tank at home is enough. Why do you need so many water tanks?
Shen Zhiping smiled and said: "It's okay, isn't it hot? I think people in some places like to get a big tank of water in the yard to heat it up and take a bath or something. Just thinking about learning from others!”
The specific use of the water tank must not be directly told to these people.
Well, this is called a white lie.
If these people hear that they bought a water tank to raise some fresh fish and shrimps for their daughter, so that they can eat them whenever they want, they must speak up.
Although Shen Zhiping didn't care about these words, he still didn't listen if he could.
When several people heard this, they started talking.
"Can this be done?"
"Even if we can do it, we don't need four water tanks, right?"
"Haha, well, when it rains, let me borrow some rainwater. I have planted vegetables in the yard. It's good to water it occasionally!"
Shen Zhiping smiled and gave another explanation.
When several female comrades heard this, they became silent.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that Shen Zhiping was growing vegetables in the courtyard of Dongkua Yuan. They were not only envious but also bitter.
"Auntie, you can actually grow some vegetables at home!"
"It's okay to buy a few flower pots, get some soil, and plant some onions and leeks!"
In later generations, many city dwellers liked to grow vegetables on their balconies, and some even turned rooftops into vegetable gardens.
If there is any problem with the waterproofing on the roof, it would really be a big joke!
After talking to a few people for a while, Shen Zhiping returned to Dongkua Courtyard and found a place to put the water tank.
Three water tanks are placed under the south wall, out of sunlight, for raising fish and shrimps.
One water tank was left in the sun.
Now that I have told the people in the courtyard what the water tank is used for, I have to go through this process even if it is just a show.
Human curiosity must be guarded against!
After finishing the matter with the water tank, Shen Zhiping took the fishing guy with him and went out on his bicycle.
During a week's holiday, he had to find something to do for himself.
Coincidentally, when Shen Zhiping went out from the east cross courtyard, he met Yan Bugui who had returned from get off work early.
Seeing that Shen Zhiping was going fishing, Yan Bugui decisively expressed that he wanted to go with Shen Zhiping.
Shen Zhiping had no reason to refuse.
The two set off together and headed straight to Shichahai.
At this time, there are really many people fishing here.
Some people, like Yan Bugui, are fishing to improve their lives, while others are fishing purely for fun.
Shen Zhiping found a random place, made a simple nest, and then started fishing.
There are many fish in Shichahai, but there are too many people fishing.
Especially when we were hungry a few years ago, more people came here to fish.
Coming a little late today, Shen Zhiping thought that he wouldn't gain much, but he couldn't resist God's blessing.
Within half an hour, he had already caught more than a dozen fish, the largest of which was grass carp, weighing more than two kilograms, followed by white stripes and crucian carp. Although not very big, they could not handle the large number.
"Are you so lucky?"
Yan Bugui was not far from Shen Zhiping, and he was always envious as he watched Shen Zhiping catch fish one by one.
Shen Zhiping smiled and said: "Indeed, I am really lucky today!" This was not Shen Zhiping's first time fishing, and it felt like he had a fish in his hand.
"Teacher Yan, how are you?"
Shen Zhiping didn't look at the bucket next to Yan Bugui, but asked calmly.
Yan Bugui looked a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I haven't caught a single fish so far!"
"Maybe the location I chose is not good!"
Yan Bugui wanted to get close to Shen Zhiping and take the bait, but he was afraid of making Shen Zhiping unhappy. If it were anyone else in the courtyard, Yan Bugui would definitely get in front of them to get some light.
But facing Shen Zhiping, Yan Bugui felt a little timid.
The main thing is that I want something, so I don't dare to completely reveal the little calculation.
"Teacher Yan, how about you come to my place and give it a try?"
Shen Zhiping took the initiative to extend the invitation.
"Isn't this appropriate?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What if I steal your luck...?"
Yan Bugui was moved when he heard Shen Zhiping's invitation, but did not act.
"Teacher Yan, it's okay. The fish in this water don't belong to me. Whoever catches it gets it!"
Shen Zhiping can stay here for another half hour at most. He still has to pick up his wife and daughter to go home. If this place is really a treasure land for fishing, it will be nothing if it is cheap but expensive.
"Hey, thank you!"
Yan Bugui stopped carrying it and carried the things quickly to Shen Zhiping's side.
I have to say that the place Shen Zhiping chose is really not bad.
Within five minutes of Yan Bugui sitting down next to Shen Zhiping, he was actually catching fish.
Although it was just a white strip the size of a palm, for Yan Bugui, it was luck and a good thing.
Shen Zhiping also caught fish, another grass carp, weighing at least two kilograms.
"No one else has this kind of luck!"
Yan Bugui was really envious when he saw that Shen Zhiping had caught another big fish.
However, luck is really a mysterious thing.
In the remaining half hour, Shen Zhiping's harvest was mediocre, with only two palm-sized crucian carp.
"Teacher Yan, I have to go back. Do you want to continue fishing for a while, or...?"
"I'll fish for a while longer!"
Yan Bugui has only caught three fish so far, and it seems that he can really catch fish in this position. He must seize the opportunity.
If you are lucky enough to find a big fish weighing one or two kilograms, you can exchange it for a few cents.
Shen Zhiping said goodbye to Yan Bugui immediately, picked up his own bucket, got on his bicycle and headed back.
When Shen Zhiping returned home, several larger grass carps were already dying and looked lifeless.
Shen Zhiping quickly put the fish separately into the water tank.
One tank for grass carp, one tank for crucian carp, and one tank for carp and white stripes.
As for what fish to eat at night, it depends on which of these fish can survive.
After handling the fish, Shen Zhiping washed his hands with soap before setting off for Liu Wanqing's unit.
The time is just right.
Not long after Shen Zhiping arrived, it was time to get off work.
The family of three set out on their way home and bought some braised pork on the way.
When Shen Zhiping and his family returned to the courtyard, Yan Bugui had not returned yet. Yang Ruihua saw Shen Zhiping and asked.
Shen Zhiping told the other party the situation at that time.
Yang Ruihua breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around the east courtyard, my daughter knew that Shen Zhiping had gone fishing and immediately shouted to see it.
Shen Zhiping simply carried him to the water tank.
Good guy!
All the fish were alive and well, and none of them died.
“Do you still want to eat fish?”
Shen Zhiping smiled and scratched his daughter's nose. After all, she just ate fish yesterday.
"Eat, eat!"
This girl is definitely a foodie!
Shen Zhiping decisively fished out the largest grass carp.
Of course, Shen Zhiping was in charge of dinner.
Braised pork mixed with cucumber, stewed grass carp, plus a steamed egg drop and a stir-fried green bean.
Four dishes, very rich!
But, the neighbors in the courtyard only smelled the scent of fish.
In this regard, the people in the courtyard had nothing to say. Many people knew that Shen Zhiping went fishing. It’s hard for anyone to say anything about the fish someone catches.
It’s just that the fish is so fragrant, a lot of oil must have been used.
……
When the Shen family started to eat, Yan Bugui returned to the courtyard with a face full of joy.
Yan Bugui actually caught two big fish after Shen Zhiping left.
They are all fish weighing two kilograms, one carp and one grass carp.
Based on Yan Bugui's stingy nature, these two fish must have been exchanged with others and came back with only some small fish. But even so, Lao Yan's life has improved.
"Today, following Engineer Shen, I will benefit from it!"
Yan Bugui firmly believed that the fish he caught today was due to Shen Zhiping's luck.
The fisherman believes this very much.
When Yang Ruihua heard this, he glanced at Yan Bugui and said, "Did you change the money?"
"Change it, it's three yuan!"
If you sell two of them, you can earn at most two yuan, but if you trade them to other fishermen, the price will be slightly higher.
After all, fishermen like to show off.
Yang Ruihua was also very happy to hear that Yan Bugui earned an extra three yuan today.
Unfortunately, this harvest was too accidental.
"By the way, today during the day,..."
Yang Ruihua told Yan Bugui the conversation Shen Zhiping had with Qin Huairu when he came back from shopping during the day.
"Master, tell me, does Engineer Shen have any dissatisfaction with Qin Huairu?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
Yan Bugui chuckled, "Back when Jia Dongxu was still alive, Engineer Shen had just entered our courtyard, and the East Crossing Courtyard was still in tatters. Qin Huairu went to Engineer Shen to borrow money."
“At that time, Silly Zhu even had a dispute with Engineer Shen!”
"Think about it, everyone in our courtyard knows that Silly Zhu was deceived by Lao Yi into helping the Jia family. Engineer Shen was the one who uncovered this!"
"Qin Huairu is the key player in this clique thing!"
Yan Bugui curled his lips, "If Qin Huairu had no beauty and didn't hook up with Sha Zhu, how could Sha Zhu be fooled by Lao Yi and the Jia family?"
"Just because of this, Engineer Shen doesn't have a good impression of Qin Huairu!"
Yan Bugui is quite experienced when it comes to this.
"Master, I don't agree with what you say!"
Yang Ruihua expressed different views to Yan Bugui, "Qin Huairu was at Jia's house at the time. Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu had the final say what she said and did!"
"If you ask me, this has nothing to do with Qin Huairu."
"You don't understand women at all!"
Yang Ruihua glanced at Yan Bugui with a bit of disgust.
