Chapter 227 A love rival emerges
Luck is really a mysterious thing.
When Yan Bugui arrived near Shen Zhiping, he really caught fish.
Shen Zhiping still returned to the courtyard one step ahead of Yan Bugui. After all, there was no delay in bringing his wife and daughter home.
In case he didn't get there in time, Liu Wanqing thought he hadn't come back since he went to help, so she simply went back to her parents' house, and he would have to go to his father-in-law's house again.
It's not that Shen Zhiping doesn't like going to his father-in-law's house, but every time he goes back to his father-in-law's house, he has to have two drinks with him.
To be honest, Shen Zhiping is really not happy to drink.
Many people think that wine is a good thing and they will drink it if they get the chance, but Shen Zhiping really can't drink it.
But as a son-in-law, how can he not drink when he meets his father-in-law?
Shen Zhiping rode his bicycle as fast as he could, and quickly returned to the courtyard. He put the fish he caught into the water tanks, and then went out again to pick up his wife and daughter.
On the way, Shen Zhiping met a popcorn seller, stopped for a while, bought a large bag of popcorn, and then hurried to the grain bureau.
When Liu Wanqing came out with her daughter, she saw Shen Zhiping leaning on the side of the bicycle and waving to the two of them.
"Dad——"
When the daughter saw Shen Zhiping, she waved excitedly.
Shen Zhiping stepped forward, reached out and gently scratched his daughter's nose, then took a small paper bag of popcorn and stuffed it into his daughter's fleshy little hands.
"Popcorn!"
“Delicious!”
The little girl was so happy when she saw the popcorn Shen Zhiping stuffed into her hand.
"You can't eat too much, you have to save your belly to finish the meal, you know?"
Liu Wanqing first warned her daughter, and then glared at Shen Zhiping, "We will have dinner when we get home. Give her these things at this time, and be careful that she doesn't eat dinner!"
"My bad!"
Shen Zhiping really didn't expect this. He just saw someone selling popcorn on the street. He thought that his daughter might like to eat it, so he bought it.
Of course, Shen Zhiping wanted to eat it himself.
But, he definitely can't admit it.
The popcorn recipe at this time is very simple.
A small bowl of corn or rice grains, add some sugar or saccharin, bake it at high temperature, and then make a bang sound, just like a cannon, and the popcorn is out of the oven.
Shen Zhiping admitted his mistakes quickly, and Liu Wanqing couldn't say anything more to him.
On the way back to the courtyard, they met the popcorn seller again. The business was still very good. A group of people were surrounding him, including many little children.
Shen Zhiping and the others deliberately stopped for a while and watched the other party popping popcorn with his daughter. The loud noise not only did not scare the little girl, but actually made her laugh out loud.
"Our daughter is a bit brave!"
Shen Zhiping glanced at Liu Wanqing, "It must look like you!"
"Isn't it good to be brave?"
Liu Wanqing rolled her eyes at Shen Zhiping.
Shen Zhiping chuckled and said: "Okay, why not?"
"That's pretty much it!"
Liu Wanqing replied happily, and then said: "However, we also have to teach her well and let her know what she can and cannot do!"
"No matter how courageous you are, you must have a sense of awe!"
"That's right!"
Shen Zhiping naturally fully agreed with his wife's words.
It's indeed a good thing for this guy to be bolder.
But if you are just bold and lose your sense of awe, then this boldness will become the source of trouble.
When turning around the courtyard, Yan Bugui happened to come back.
Yan Bugui's harvest today is also good.
The fish I caught was exchanged for two yuan and eighty cents, and I also brought back a grass carp weighing more than a pound and several white stripes.
Seeing Shen Zhiping, Yan Bu's face burst into laughter.
In Yan Bugui's opinion, Shen Zhiping is really the person who can bring him good luck.
Of course, Shen Zhiping believed that Yan Bugui was the person who gave him good luck.
After saying a few polite words to Yan Bugui, Shen Zhiping returned to Dongkuayuan.
For dinner, I simply made cold noodles, a tomato scrambled egg, and a cucumber.
After dinner, Liu Wanqing gave her daughter a simple bath. The little girl felt sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing were happily enjoying their world together.
The years are quiet and beautiful, and the beauty is in my arms.
For Shen Zhiping, days like this are really like smoke rising from his ancestral graves.
That night, there was no more commotion in the courtyard and it was very quiet.
It's just that the courtyard on their side was quiet, but there was a big commotion in the courtyard next door. But this had no effect on Shen Zhiping. He was obsessed with the beauty of his wife and could not help himself.
……
The next morning, it was a sunny day.
Shen Zhiping made breakfast and then called Liu Wanqing and her daughter to get up.
When Liu Wanqing got up, she still felt a little weak. She was so angry that she pinched Shen Zhiping twice but still couldn't relieve her anger.
However, work still needs to be done.
"Tonight, go sleep in the next room by yourself!"
Liu Wanqing became angrier as she thought about it, and pinched Shen Zhiping twice more.
She really couldn't understand why she was even more tired even though she didn't move much, while Shen Zhiping was just like an animal and didn't even know he was tired.
"Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. I promise, I will be honest and do nothing tonight!"
Shen Zhiping decisively admitted his mistake.
It's not like he doesn't know how to be compassionate.
"Look at your performance!"
Liu Wanqing lightly punched Shen Zhiping before going to wash up.
After breakfast, the family of three went out as usual.
After Shen Zhiping sent Liu Wanqing and her daughter to her unit, she rushed to the market unhurriedly. My daughter-in-law is so tired that she needs to replenish herself.
I bought a chicken and went back to stew it!
A chicken, one dollar and a half!
They are all old hens or big roosters that are more than a year old!
After buying chicken, Shen Zhiping went to the drug store to buy some ginseng.
Since you want to make up for it, you have to make up for it well.
Liu Wanqing's health is actually not bad, so she doesn't worry about whether she is getting enough.
Turning around the courtyard again, Shen Zhiping met several housewives in the front yard. He smiled and nodded to these people, and Shen Zhiping returned to the east cross courtyard under the gazes of several people.
The moment he walked in, Shen Zhiping heard the envious words of these people.
“Engineer Shen’s life is really good!”
"The couple are both salaried, and their wages are not low. They must be living a good life!"
This is Yang Ruihua, Yanbu's noble daughter-in-law, obviously helping Shen Zhiping explain.
Several other female comrades sighed for a while. They were all housewives, and their daily way of increasing their family income was to go to the streets to do tasks like gluing matchboxes.
Compared with people with regular jobs like Liu Wanqing, they are not even a bit worse.
Shen Zhiping returned home and quickly killed the chicken and stewed it.
This is an old hen, and I don’t know how many years it has been raised. But the reason why ordinary farmers can sell old hens is 99% because they no longer lay eggs. When the aroma of chicken soup began to float in the air, the residents in the courtyard sniffed hard.
By noon, Shen Zhiping was still stewing the old hen, stewing it until it was rotten.
As for lunch, Shen Zhiping simply put a pancake on it.
After lunch, Shen Zhiping checked the firewood at the bottom of the chicken stew pot before going back to the house to take a nap.
When I woke up, it was already mid-afternoon.
Shen Zhiping went to the kitchen to check the old hen stewed in the pot. He took a chopstick and poked it lightly. The chopstick penetrated the chicken easily.
"It's done!"
Feeling the ease of the chopsticks piercing the chicken, Shen Zhiping knew that the chicken was ready to be stewed.
At this moment, there was a noise from the front yard.
As Shen Zhiping strolled out of the Dongkua Yard, he saw Li Xiaoying, a clerk from the back-office management section of the steel rolling mill, leading a group of people talking to Yang Ruihua.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"Engineer Shen!"
When Shen Zhiping came out of Dongkua Yard, he was immediately seen by Li Xiaoying, who called him out.
"Comrade Li Xiaoying, hello!"
When Shen Zhiping was assigned to Courtyard No. 95, it was Li Xiaoying who brought him here. Although the two didn't have much contact later, they were considered acquaintances.
"Is this a new comrade in our factory?"
Shen Zhiping looked at the man who came with Li Xiaoying. His hair was very short. He should have just changed jobs or returned from the army.
"Engineer Shen, this is Comrade Peng Shu, the new security officer of our factory's security department! The house is assigned to the middle courtyard of Courtyard No. 95!"
Li Xiaoying quickly introduced the origin of the other party to Shen Zhiping.
"Hello, Comrade Peng Shu, I am Shen Zhiping. I also work in the steel rolling mill. I will be a neighbor from now on. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I live in Dongkuaoyuan!"
Shen Zhiping stretched out his hand politely and shook hands with the other party.
"Hello, Comrade Shen, I am Peng Shu. Please give me your advice in the future!"
Peng Shu had really just retired from the army, and his words and deeds were so serious that people could confirm his identity at once.
Shen Zhiping smiled and nodded.
The house Peng Shu was assigned was originally the Jia family's house.
As the Jia family's house was redistributed, any trace of the Jia family's presence in the courtyard was completely erased.
Even if Jia and Zhang come back, they will never want to return to the courtyard.
After all, Jia Zhang committed a crime and was fired from her job, and the house assigned to the Jia family in the steel rolling mill was also taken back.
With Peng Shu moving into the Jia family, the most discussed topic in the courtyard was the Jia family.
Speaking of the Jia family, the residents in the courtyard were really in a state of lamentation.
The Jia family used to live a very prosperous life in this courtyard.
But the good days of the Jia family began to decline after Shen Zhiping moved into the courtyard. Although Shen Zhiping didn't do anything against the Jia family, if Shen Zhiping hadn't revealed something, the Jia family's life in the courtyard would have only become more and more prosperous.
"Do you think that Jia and Zhang will be able to give up when they come back?"
"Can she still cause trouble?"
"That's impossible to say!"
People in the courtyard were all sighing when they talked about Jia Zhang.
In the eyes of everyone, Jia and Zhang will definitely not give up when they return.
"Jia Zhang doesn't do anything in human affairs, and she is in this situation all because of herself!"
"If she makes trouble, the streets won't tolerate her!"
"Maybe, Jia Zhang will be driven back to the countryside!"
"Hasn't her household registration changed to a city household registration?"
"I don't know!"
……
Mrs. Jia Zhang is indeed an important person in the courtyard. As long as she is mentioned, people in the courtyard will have endless topics to talk about.
Shen Zhiping also felt that Jia Zhang would not give up.
Once Jia Zhang returns, I'm afraid she will directly cause trouble to Peng Shu!
Speaking of this, Peng Shu could be considered to have suffered a disaster.
But right now, Jia Zhang doesn’t know when she will come back.
Silly Zhu performed well at first and was released early. As for Jia Zhang, she has been lazy and lazy for half her life. Let alone perform well, it is rare for her to perform normally.
In fact, Jia Zhang's performance was much worse than normal. Although she did not behave like she did in the courtyard, she was not qualified for a reduced sentence because of her insufficient abilities.
When Shen Zhiping went to pick up Liu Wanqing and her daughter home, he told Liu Wanqing about Peng Shu.
As a result, when Liu Wanqing heard Shen Zhiping's words, she frowned slightly and said, "Are you sure that person's name is Peng Shu?"
"Yes, he is about 1.75 meters tall. He looks pretty straight. What's wrong? Do you know him?"
Shen Zhiping glanced at Liu Wanqing in surprise.
Liu Wanqing nodded and said: "If there is no accident, then I really know this person!"
Hearing what Liu Wanqing said, Shen Zhiping suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Could this guy have been his wife's suitor?
Then, as Liu Wanqing spoke, Shen Zhiping's face became a little ugly.
This man was really one of his wife’s former suitors!
"Daughter-in-law, do you think it is a coincidence that this person lives in our courtyard house?"
Shen Zhi had a straight face.
Liu Wanqing smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"I don't believe this is a coincidence!"
"I don't believe it either!"
Liu Wanqing spoke seriously.
Some things are indeed coincidences, but some things cannot be coincidences.
Just like the matter of Peng Shu!
Before Liu Wanqing married Shen Zhiping, she often heard people talk about Peng Shu, saying that he was developing very well in the army and that his future prospects were limitless.
Such a person suddenly left the army. He obviously had a house over there in the army compound, but he also wanted to be allocated a house in the courtyard. Do you think it was a coincidence?
Only a fool would believe it!
Maybe some women enjoy the vanity of being sought after by many men, but Liu Wanqing is not such a woman!
From the moment she selected Shen Zhiping, she made a lifelong decision.
To put it bluntly, her marriage was only widowed, not divorced.
If she made the wrong choice and Shen Zhiping did something sorry for her, she would not make a fuss and would only send Shen Zhiping on his way.
Liu Wanqing had never mentioned this idea to Shen Zhiping.
Because marriage should be a lifelong affair between two people, so there is no need for special reminders.
Naturally, Shen Zhiping would not know that his life was repeatedly on the verge of death.
As a time traveler and a cheater, Shen Zhiping had also thought about embracing each other, such as hooking up with Qin Huairu and developing some special relationship with Lou Xiao'e.
But, all his thoughts disappeared the moment he saw Liu Wanqing.
If she doesn't know how to cherish such a fairy-like daughter-in-law, then God will definitely strike him to death with a thunderbolt if God gives him this opportunity to travel through time.
People must know how to be content!
"Daughter-in-law, since that person is your old acquaintance, would you like to treat him to a casual dinner later?"
When his love rival comes to his side, Shen Zhiping will not passively fight back, but will attack decisively.
For example, introduce someone to the other party or something.
Of course, this kind of thing does not require Shen Zhiping to personally take action. As long as he casually mentions a few words, I believe that some female comrades in the courtyard will be very willing to be the matchmaker.
Hearing what Shen Zhiping said, Liu Wanqing also smiled and said: "I think it will work!"
