Chapter 61 Living a Difficult Life
It was already dark, and most people’s dinner would have ended early. Although the Zhu family’s door was closed, the lights were on, and there was not only a burst of laughter, but also the morning The aroma of vegetables began to spread.
“Master, why are Lao Zhu’s dishes so fragrant?”
“Didn’t you see that Silly Zhu cooked them? The cabbage cooked by others is more fragrant than ours. Don't be greedy. I'll try my luck tomorrow morning to see if I can get some meat for you and the child to try."
"That's good, but... forget it, I'm not greedy anymore. It’s better to buy some suet or something with fat. I’ll rely on some oil. The leftover oil residue will be delicious when fried with cabbage.” , Hasn’t Shazhu always helped the Jia family?”
“They all have no father’s love and no mother’s support. How normal is this?”
“I said to him. Wife, why did this stupid Zhu go to Zhu Xuefeng's house to drink, and it was so lively? What do you think they eat? How delicious is it? Otherwise..."
"Mom, don't even think about it. Okay, this is completely ridiculous. You still let me lick my face and let the whole hospital see the joke... If you really want to eat it, you can go alone."
Jia Zhang, look at it. Look at Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu is working on the sewing machine and mending Banggeng's pants. Today, Banggeng played outside in the afternoon and got into another fight on the way home. Children from other yards called his father a reform-through-labor prisoner...
Banggeng talks less and less about going home now. There is almost no one to play with him in the yard, and the time to go home is getting later and later.
What a life it is to live like this. Since the verdict, Jia Dongxu’s grain and oil have also been frozen, and the rice vat at home is about to bottom out. This bit of trouble was secretly given by the uncle.
I have to shamelessly go door to door to ask for some tomorrow. I really can’t bear it anymore. I’m so embarrassed that I can’t poop.
And Silly Zhu, why did he get involved with Zhu Xuefeng? This lunch box cannot be lost anymore. We will have to rely on this to save our lives in the next few days. We have to look for Silly Zhu tomorrow.
Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu ignored her, so she couldn't do anything. Without her son's support, her daughter-in-law here became more and more outrageous, and she ignored everything she said...
He turned around and lay down, only cursing softly in his mouth.
......
Everyone chatted happily for a long time, and finally Zhu Xuefeng supported Silly Zhu and sent him back to the middle courtyard. Silly Zhu was drunk and kept saying that he would teach Zhu Xuefeng how to cook when he had time in the future.
He Yuyu also knew that he would not be able to go back to school tonight. He had to take care of his brother, so he could only get up early and go to school tomorrow.
"Xue Song, please help me, put away the table, and don't forget to sprinkle some sticks on the fish tank before going to bed. Don't let anyone see it. I'm a little dizzy. I'll leave it to you, little sister."
Zhu Xuefeng didn't drink less. He went home and lay down, forgetting to reward his younger brothers and sisters with new clothes.
......
"Dad, I pay twenty every month. The money I have is really not enough. Can I pay less."
Yan Jiecheng recently I’m very troubled. My working hours are short and my income is low. The monthly supplement is only 20.5 yuan. My family asks me to pay 20 yuan a month for three years. This is because I spent a lot of money to enter the steel rolling mill and I have to pay it back. .
"Then how much do you think you should pay? You are not allowed to eat at home. We are not allowed to save money for you to marry a wife. Your younger brothers and sisters are not allowed to go to school. They will also have to work and start a family in the future. No money is allowed for these. Can you and I do it alone?”
Originally, fifty cents a month was already a lot of pocket money. I ate at home and only bought some food occasionally, so there was basically no expense and no problem. I don't smoke or drink.
But now I go out with Huang Xiaojuan almost every week. At least I have to buy some melon seeds or something, watch a movie occasionally, and from time to time I have to buy a gadget for my future wife. This money cannot be solved with fifty cents. Fortunately, Huang Xiaojuan didn't care, but the old man didn't have any money in his pocket, so he was not tough. "Is it okay to pay eighteen yuan? Leave me two yuan every month. I don't have any money in my pocket when I go out. Huang Xiaojuan finally came here and I can't even take her out. Mom, do you think this is right?"
Yan Jiecheng looked at the third aunt for help. The only one who could make the third uncle relent was the third aunt.
The third aunt looked at the pitiful appearance of her eldest son, and then thought about Huang Xiaojuan's well-behaved and sensible manner, and looked at the third uncle.
"You, the head of the house, have to think about this. I think this wife is fine. Don't be a slut. How about you think about it again."
The third uncle raised his head and glared at the third aunt. His wife's performance today He was very dissatisfied. His wife had lost her position.
“It’s not impossible. You will pay two yuan less every month in the future. It was supposed to be paid off in three years, but now it will be four years.”
After hearing this, another year was added. The hard days are getting longer again, and Yan Jiecheng is quite reluctant. He loses two yuan a month, 24 yuan a year, and only 72 yuan less in three years. Why should he add a year? Four months is enough.
“Boss, you’ve really wasted your time reading this book. The extra year you don’t eat and drink at home is all to make up for it. You spend 12 yuan a month eating and drinking at home. Isn’t it just a year? Completed 72. "
The third uncle's words were flawless, and there was nothing wrong with it. Yan Jiecheng's face changed several times, but he still gave in. Three years gritted his teeth and passed. Four years sounds like a long time. If he doesn't change, Yes, I haven't come here before.
Looking at the three younger brothers and sisters looking at him, he felt like he was being watched by a little wolf cub. He wiped his face, shook off this illusion, turned around and went out.
......
"Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, thank you. It's a lot. I know it's not easy for everyone. I've caused trouble to you. If you really can't get through it, I really don't want to... ”
Qin Huairu is asking for help from door to door in the backyard. Qin Huairu is usually very kind to others and takes the initiative to help when something happens. He often chats with his aunt and daughter-in-law by the laundry pool. There is more or less camaraderie.
Besides, everyone knew that their family was in a difficult situation, so someone still lent them some food. It was not easy for each family. They collected about ten families in the backyard and middle courtyard, and only about thirty kilograms of sticks and ballast, and each family had it. It weighed three or two kilograms, and the second uncle’s family only gave five kilograms, which was the most.
Si Zhu and the first uncle’s house don’t need to go. They don’t want to go to the front yard. There are few people who can talk to each other. Besides, the third uncle’s family is definitely not rich. Zhu Xuefeng’s family should not join in the fun. Uncle Zou probably also I won’t give it, and I won’t go to the front yard.
The outer courtyard of the inverted house has no favors or contacts, and it is probably difficult to get it. I am hesitating whether I should give it a try.
Xu Damao is back again. This time he is a bit disgraced. There is something wrong with his face. There are also some mud marks on his clothes. He seems to have been beaten. He does not take the initiative to say hello to anyone. Even the greeting of the third uncle is not supported. He hesitated to deal with the matter, and then hurriedly pushed the cart into the backyard.
Seeing that Xu Damao was back, Qin Huairu had an idea. This bad guy who put his family in dire straits must come up with something. Thinking about the evil smile on his face and the eyes that secretly looked at him, Qin Huairu went home. After putting down the food, we went to the backyard again.
After a while, Qin Huairu lowered her head and returned to the middle courtyard, straightening her hair. Xu Damao admitted his fault, but said that he had just been in trouble, and finally got three yuan, five kilograms of grain and half a kilogram of oil. Ticket, I have to go next month.
Qin Huairu felt extremely sad. Thinking of Banggan and Xiaodang, as well as her own belly, she had better survive first and wait until her man came out. She could bear the rest.
Zhu Xuefeng didn't see it. Zhu Xuefeng was in the sports school right now, sparring with a young boy. They were having a fierce fight. The two of them were going back and forth, and it was inseparable.
Zhu Xuefeng reads and reviews every day, and occasionally learns to cook a few dishes from Silly Zhu, but good things cannot be made frequently, and home-cooked dishes are not very new to Zhu Xuefeng, so he stops after learning them a few times. .
Except for Xia Yuhong who comes to visit from time to time, life is really boring. Today I wandered to the sports school to see Gao Bo, and I was training with Gao Bo's senior brother.
