When the residents of the courtyard saw Zhang Erdan get the pancake, they did not stuff it directly into their mouths. Instead, they all praised Zhang Erdan to his mother for being so sensible. If only their own children were so filial. alright.
Xu Damao stood in the cold wind, watching the residents scatter in all directions, and was speechless for a moment.
He exerted so much effort and subdued Yu Qiuhua, why didn't anyone say good things to him?
At this time, Yan Bugui stood up and sneered at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, you are still too young. Prestige is not established in a day. If you want to replace me, Lao Yan, it will take you several years."
Xu Damao was furious and wanted to refute, but was speechless. He could only roll his eyes and leave with his hands behind his back.
Yan Bugui looked at Xu Damao's back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and clenched his fists lightly, "Xu Damao, since you want to fight me, you must be prepared to be punished."
What he didn't see was that Yu Qiuhua stared at his back with a sneer on his lips.
She decided to deal with Yan Bugui and then Xu Damao.
At this time, He Wenda whispered quietly from the side: "Mom, I told you not to be so high-profile, but you just didn't listen. It's okay now. Something happened!"
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, He Wenda was slapped on the face, and the pancakes on the plate were snatched away by Yu Qiuhua.
He Wenda covered his swollen cheeks and looked at Yu Qiuhua in confusion: "Mom, why are you taking my pancakes!"
Yu Qiuhua swallowed the remaining pancakes in big mouthfuls, and said with bulging cheeks: "I have to go to the street to take revenge later, so what if I eat some pancakes from you? Don't forget that I earned these pancakes." Come back, you just ate half of it and you still took advantage of me!"
He Wenda stared at Yu Qiuhua with a ferocious expression. Yu Qiuhua was not like this in the past. Every time He Wenhui made something delicious, Yu Qiuhua would think about sharing it with him and He Wenyuan. How did it become like this now? Looking good?
The girl He Wenyuan was smart, and she swallowed all the pancakes in just a moment.
She pulled He Wenda into the house and whispered: "Wenda, why are you so stupid? When He Wenhui was at home, Yu Qiuhua was just a ready-made person. Now that He Wenhui is gone, she has to do everything. Come and do it, can the meaning be the same? From now on, if you get something delicious at home, eat it quickly and don’t let Yu Qiuhua worry about it."
Although He Wenda didn't understand, he still nodded: "Sister, don't worry, I won't be so stupid in the future!"
The other side.
Yu Qiuhua ate half of He Wenda's pancakes, burped with satisfaction, took the basin and walked to the pool in the courtyard to wash up.
The residents just now were still confused about the Qiuhua family's sudden wealth.
Especially Jia Zhang.
The Jia family has not eaten anything with oil and water in half a year. Now seeing the oily corners of Yu Qiuhua's mouth, his eyes are filled with envy.
Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly put down the starched insole, strode over, took Yu Qiuhua's arm, and said with a smile, "Auntie Yu, I heard that you are living a good life?"
The envious look on Mrs. Jia Zhang's face made Yu Qiuhua feel very proud. She put the enamel basin on the ground and said proudly: "Just eating a few pancakes is considered a good life. Mr. Jia Zhang, thanks to you, you are still in the capital." After living in the capital for so long, how come I have no future at all? I think back then, I, Yu Qiuhua, was also the number one person in Ningzhou. I usually ate fat meat and threw away the lean meat. I didn’t even think about it. What I drank instead of tea was mutton soup. It was boiled white and tasted authentic.
Mr. Jia Zhang, I dare say you have never tasted mutton soup in your life. "
As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhang's expression suddenly changed.
She did have a chance to drink mutton soup in this life. It was when she first got married, and Lao Jia ordered a bowl of mutton soup from the canteen of the steel rolling mill.
After Jia Zhang saw it, she was ecstatic, especially the unique aroma of mutton soup, which made her almost swallow her tongue. This was the first thing she had ever smelled in her life.
The most delicious food.
The reason why I say I smelled it is because just when Mrs. Jia Zhang picked up the mutton soup and was about to drink it all, Lao Jia's wife rushed up from behind.
The old woman was nearly seventy years old, but she was as strong as a young man. She pushed Jia Zhang away and scolded Jia Zhang: "You little girl, you don't know how to respect the elderly at all. It's so delicious." , and nutritious things, naturally it’s important for us elderly people to come here.”
Mrs. Jia Zhang gritted her teeth at that time, but in order to avoid being accused of being unfilial, she could only smile and nod.
Just like that, she missed the mutton soup.
Thinking of the past events, Jia Zhang's heart was filled with anger again.
The look in Yu Qiuhua's eyes was different from before, and he said with a strange tone: "Tsk, tsk, who knows if you stole other people's food again, so you can have money to make pancakes."
This is not a big mistake. After all, when Yu Qiuhua first moved to the courtyard, he stole meat from the Jia Zhang family.
But Yu Qiuhua was not a good-tempered person either. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, what are you talking nonsense about? This food was given to me by the second uncle of our compound."
As soon as these words came out.
The residents who had been watching the excitement were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
Although Liu Haizhong is not stingy, getting him to give food to others, especially fine food, is extremely difficult.
Jia Zhang didn't believe it either: "Yu Qiuhua, stop talking nonsense. Did you steal someone else's food? Tell me honestly!"
This was the first time that Yu Qiuhua was wronged by others, and he quit at that time.
She happened to see the second aunt holding a basin, squatting by the sink and rubbing the dirty clothes from her bangs.
Yu Qiuhua walked up, pulled up the second aunt, and pulled her to Jia Zhang: "From Haizhong's family, please explain to Jia Zhang whether the food in my family was given to my family by Liu Haizhong."
At this time, the second aunt's face was ashen.
When Jia Zhang was talking to Yu Qiuhua just now, their voices were so loud that she actually heard them all.
But she never stood up to say hello. The reason was simple. The second aunt was annoyed!
Liu Haizhong gave almost all the fine grains at home to Yu Qiuhua. This morning, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She wanted to stir up some noodle soup but ran out of fine noodles. However, Yu Qiuhua was willing to use fine grains to bake pancakes. This is not the case. Bullying?
But Yu Qiuhua would hold her back, and the second aunt was embarrassed not to admit it. She could only say with a smile: "That's because my bangs have a good heart. Seeing that Yu Qiuhua's life is difficult, so she gave her fine grain to her." Yu Qiuhua’s.”
When Jia Zhang heard this, she didn't believe it at all. Are you kidding me? There are many good-hearted people in the courtyard, but they are definitely not Liu Haizhong.
The Jia Zhang family has been in the courtyard house for so many years, and has harvested wool from almost every household, but they can't do anything about the Liu Haizhong family and the Yanbu Gui family.
Now Liu Haizhong is actually willing to give away grains to others. He is still deceiving children about the fine grains.
There's definitely something fishy about this.
If it were anyone else, this matter would have been forgotten, but it was different for Jia Zhang.
Since Banggen was imprisoned, the Jia family's life has become worse day by day. Jia Zhang has to always find ways to exploit the residents in the compound.
It's just that after so many years, everyone knows the temperament of the Jia family, and no one is willing to help the Jia family anymore. The Jia and Zhang family often return empty-handed.
She felt that as long as she figured out why Liu Haizhong was giving Yu Qiuhua fine grain, she could follow Liu Haizhong's example and blackmail Liu Haizhong.
so.
At this time, even if Mrs. Jia Zhang was dissatisfied with Qiuhua, she would still smile and talk to Yu Qiuhua non-stop.
Ever since Yu Qiuhua entered the courtyard, the residents of the courtyard looked down on her and despised her. No one was willing to say a word to her on weekdays. Now that she saw how enthusiastic Jia Zhang was, she became interested.
The two of them just stood there and talked.
The second aunt will send it soon
Now I have become a redundant person.
But she soon realized that she had a more important task to do.
Throwing down the washbasin, the second aunt ran back home and pulled Liu Haizhong up from the bed.
Liu Haizhong was having a dream, and he dreamed that he would kill Yan Bugui, Xu Damao and Wang Weidong, and dominate the courtyard by himself.
After being woken up by the second aunt, she seemed particularly angry. She threw away the second aunt's hand and said coldly: "What are you doing, old woman! Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm sleeping?" ?」
The situation of Liu Haizhong's family is similar to that of Yi Zhonghai's family. Because the second aunt has no job and relies on Liu Haizhong to work in a factory to earn money to support the family, she has no say in the family. I always listen to Liu Haizhong's words.
After being scolded by Liu Haizhong, the second aunt did not dare to get angry. She could only smile and said: "I want to report something to you."
The second aunt's lowered eyebrows made her bangs feel a little comfortable, and she raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
"Didn't I go wash your clothes just now? I happened to see Jia Zhang and Yu Qiuhua whispering there..." The second aunt told Liu Haizhong exactly what she had just seen. Told it once.
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was immediately furious. What a joke, he had wiped out all the family's debts yesterday just because he wanted Yu Qiuhua to file a complaint, but Yu Qiuhua turned out to be very nagging now!
He didn't care about sleeping at this moment, so he put on his shoes, put on his cotton-padded jacket, and left the house.
When they reached the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang was still chatting with Yu Qiuhua.
"Yu Qiuhua, you know, the most honest person in our compound is Liu Erkui who lives in the backyard. This guy is just a brainless guy. As long as you say you don't have anything at home, he will take the initiative to get it for you."
"Really? I'll give it a try next time!"
"Also, when you borrow things, you have to be careful. Don't borrow too many things at a time."
"How much is not too much?"
"Well...it shouldn't cost more than 20 cents, otherwise the residents will be stingy."
"Okay, okay..."
It has to be said that Jia Zhang and Yu Qiuhua have many similarities. After the two chatted, it was like they had found a soulmate.
At this moment, Liu Haizhong walked over with his hands behind his back. When he saw Jia Zhang, his eyes suddenly froze.
Jia Zhang is not easy to deal with.
Liu Haizhong instantly had the idea of escape, but it was already half past eight in the morning. At nine o'clock, Director Wang from the subdistrict office might go inside for a meeting. It was almost the end of the year, and there were often meetings in the district.
If you miss today, tomorrow will be Sunday. If you want to rectify Yan Bugui, you have to wait until next week.
Bangzhong couldn't bear it for that long.
Therefore, he strode up, looked at Yu Qiuhua and said, "Aunt Yu, have you forgotten something?"
Yu Qiuhua was chatting happily with Jia Zhang, but after being interrupted, he suddenly became unhappy.
"What the hell, you don't have eyes, you didn't see me..."
Before she finished speaking, when she saw Liu Haizhong standing next to her, Yu Qiuhua quickly swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"It's Liu Haizhong, why are you here?"
Just kidding, Liu Haizhong just gave her 30 yuan and 40 pounds of fine noodles last night, so he was considered her big benefactor.
Even if Yu Qiuhua is unreasonable, he still has to give his sponsor some face.
Liu Haizhong said calmly: "Yu Qiuhua, have you forgotten something?"
Yu Qiuhua was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "What's going on! I don't want to go to work today, so I don't have to go to the briquette factory..."
Seeing Yu Qiuhua's confused look, Liu Haizhong wanted to raise his hand and slap her.
But Mrs. Jia Zhang was nearby, and she could only hold back her anger and reminded: "I remember you have to go to the street to do business today."
「
What am I doing at the street office..." Yu Qiuhua reacted for a long time before he finally came to his senses. He quickly patted his thigh and said, "Oh, second uncle, if you didn't remind me, I would have really forgotten about it. Thank you. Already."
"You're welcome!" Liu Haizhong smiled, put his hands behind his back and left.
Yu Qiuhua turned his head, looked at his new good friend and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, we really hit it off. I originally wanted to chat for a while, but I still have to go to the street office to see Director Wang to do something, so we just Talk to you next time."
Jia Zhang is such a smart person. He has already seen that the reason why Liu Haizhong gave Yu Qiuhua fine grain must have something to do with the things he went to the street to do.
She quickly stretched out her hand to stop Yu Qiuhua: "Auntie Yu, what are you doing at the street office?"
Yu Qiuhua's reaction was quite quick this time, and he said quickly: "Nothing, nothing, just a little thing..."
Yu Qiuhua is not a fool. If Jia Zhang knew that reporting Yan Bugui could get him fine food, he might have jumped on it.
When the time comes that she cannot complete Liu Haizhong's mission, Liu Haizhong will definitely fall out with her, and Liu Haizhong will even take the food away from her.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Mrs. Jia Zhang would not believe it, Yu Qiuhua went on to explain: "As you know, the sub-district office helped us find temporary worker positions. Now that I don't want to do it, I naturally have to go to Wang from the sub-district office." Say it to the director."
"Really? Then I won't delay you."
Of course Jia Zhang didn't believe Yu Qiuhua's words.
After Qiuhua left, she quietly followed Yu Qiuhua.
