Wang Xinyi went to college, and her family suddenly became empty. Although she still had a young son by her side, Qin Jingru always felt empty in her heart.

Wang Zhong, on the other hand, is still the same as before, living his life as he wants. He is busy with the reform of the machinery factory all day long, and has very little time to stay at home all day long. In order to prevent Qin Jingru from being too busy and causing trouble, Wang Zhong also Qin Jingru was given the task of delivering food.

On the third day when Wang Xinyi reported to the university, a group of porters moved a large amount of bricks, cement, wood and tiles into the central courtyard. Mrs. Jia Zhang personally came down to watch, outside the south wing of her home, Next to the corridor, a small house of more than ten square meters was built.

Yi Zhonghai watched Mrs. Jia Zhang staring at the workers at work. Although he had already guessed the outcome, he still couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Aren't the children grown up? Bangge doesn't have a place to live. He can only sleep on a bed in the main room all day long. I'm thinking of building a room for him to live in so that he can find a good partner!"

Jia Zhang explained helplessly.

Yi Zhonghai frowned when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, I know everything you said, but this courtyard is a public place, not an individual's. If we do this, aren't we taking advantage of the public?"

Jia Zhang said: "I don't care whether it's public or not. I just know that my family can't live in it. My grandson doesn't even have a place to sleep, and he can't even have a date."

"This..." Yi Zhonghai suddenly didn't know how to refute.

If Jia Zhang is told not to do anything, given Jia Zhang's temper, it is estimated that he will immediately stage a farce of acting like a rogue.

Moreover, Banggeng's matter is indeed a problem. Yi Zhonghai has long planned to let Qin Huairu and Banggeng help take care of him in old age, and he naturally takes good care of the Jia family. He naturally knows that Banggeng talked about things that both of his partners blew. .

"Hey!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said nothing more.

Naturally, this matter cannot be hidden from the neighbors who live in the same courtyard, especially the third uncle and the second uncle who were stopped by Wang Zhong and even demolished part of the wall that had been built.

Liu Haizhong came out of the backyard with his hands behind his back, and Yan Fugui also slowly walked through the second door and walked into the middle courtyard. The two looked at each other, and everything was in silence.

The fact that the Jia family built a house in the courtyard immediately aroused quite a controversy in the courtyard, and the focus of the controversy gradually shifted from the Jia family to Wang Zhong.

Especially due to the unremitting efforts of the second uncle and the third uncle in the front yard to publicize it, public opinion was pushed to the top in one fell swoop.

Some people say that Wang Zhong was partial and only allowed the state officials to set fires and not the people to light lamps. It would be okay for his relatives to build houses, but if others built houses, they would be demolished.

But after waiting for several days without seeing Wang Zhong speak, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui immediately built a house in front of their own house, and it was much larger than the so-called earthquake shelter they had built earlier. .

With the two elders in the courtyard taking the lead, others followed suit and began to build houses in front of their homes. There were few children in the house, and those who could live in them used that house as a kitchen. The family had a large population. If there is no room for it, it will be used as a bedroom for the children.

Suddenly, Courtyard No. 95, which was regarded as an advanced model by the street every month, became disorderly and disorderly.

Even Yi Zhonghai found Qin Huairu and Banggan and asked them to help him build a small cabin in front of the house.

"Your uncle, why do you build a small house when you live alone in such a big house?" Qin Huairu said.

But Yi Zhonghai said: "Banggen is already this age, and it's time to get married once we have found a partner. Xiaodang and Huaihua are both adults, and they still squeeze into the same kang with you and my sister-in-law every day. It's okay." Your own space.”

"That's what I think. Let Xiaodang and Huaihua live in the house outside your house. Build another house outside my house. I can live in it myself and give up my two rooms to Banggeng. In this case, Banggeng will live in it. I also have a wedding house for Gang, and when I am a hundred years from now, this house will be passed on to Bang Gang."

Yi Zhonghai had already mentioned the matter of retirement care to Qin Huairu and Banggen, and Qin Huairu agreed without even thinking about it. Originally, Yi Zhonghai thought that Jia Zhang, who was most likely to encounter resistance, did not stop him at all, but instead I agreed happily.

Yi Zhonghai was not a fool. After a little thinking, he guessed what Jia Zhang was thinking. He was just thinking about his two houses. After a hundred years, the houses would have to be passed down to Bangge.

It was precisely because Yi Zhonghai knew this in his heart that he took the initiative to give up the house to Bangge.

"No!" Qin Huairu disagreed.

"Okay, why not!" As soon as Qin Huairu spoke, Jia Zhang couldn't wait any longer, for fear that Qin Huairu would push down the house that Yi Zhonghai came to her doorstep.

"The first uncle's house is much bigger than our small house, and this girl is not a fool. If Bangge can live in the first uncle's house, this guy's affairs will surely come true."

In the original plot, Jia Zhang took the initiative to find Sha Zhu and asked Sha Zhu to give up the main room in the middle courtyard to Bang Gang as a wedding room, and let Sha Zhu live in the house left by Sha Zhu in the backyard by Mrs. Long, which shows that Jia Zhang His face is thicker than the city wall.

Don't look at the fact that Mrs. Jia Zhang is just inciting Qin Huairu to build a small house outside her house for Banggeng to stay temporarily. When Banggeng actually talks about a partner, when it comes time to talk about marriage, he will definitely climb up the ladder. Set your sights on Yi Zhonghai's house.

Now that Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to bring this matter up, he was playing into Jia Zhang's hands.

"Mom!" Although Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, she still maintained some sense: "The first uncle is an elder and is Bangge's father's master. The first uncle takes care of us because he is a righteous man, but we can't just care about ourselves. Besides, Bangge doesn’t have a partner yet, and he’s still far away from getting married. We can talk about the wedding room once he has a partner.”

Mrs. Jia Zhang wanted to argue a few more words with Qin Huairu, but before he could speak, her grandson Banggeng spoke first: "Grandma, sir, I think my mother is right. If you ask me to say, as long as it's If you are willing, our family will pay for the materials and labor required to build the house outside your house. Once it is built, I will live there and give Xiaodang and Huaihua the small house outside our house to live in."

Qin Huairu nodded immediately and looked at Yi Zhonghai: "Master, what do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Banggeng and Qin Huairu with great relief: "That's good, it will prevent others from gossiping. Let's talk about it in the future when Banggeng has a partner and is ready to get married."

"Banggen, and you two, why don't you thank me quickly?" Qin Huairu hurriedly greeted her children.

"Thank you, sir!" the three siblings said in unison.

A smile appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face: "Why are you so polite to me?"

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with Banggeng's attitude, and it was right that he gave up Si Zhu and chose Banggeng in the first place.

Even Yi Zhonghai, the most prestigious elder in the courtyard, built a small house outside his house, and the rest of the people in the courtyard were relieved. When other people build a house, it can be said that there is too much room for the family, but Yi Zhonghai is an old man and his wife has left long ago. Now he is the only one in the family, living in two large houses in the east courtyard and west wing. With these conditions, he is satisfied There is no condition to catch up with him in the courtyard area, but it is not the same as occupying public areas and building his own house.

As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public. Besides, now Wang Zhong has been transferred from the steel rolling mill to the machinery factory. Although he has become the director of the machinery factory, he is no longer everyone's immediate boss and direct leader as before. Wang Zhong was naturally as awed as before.

In fact, Qin Jingru has told Wang Zhong more than once that everyone in the courtyard is expanding. However, Wang Zhong has already anticipated today's situation. He can't stop it and doesn't bother to stop it. The reason why he held Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong in the first place was One is that he wants to enjoy the spacious yard for a few more years, and the other is that he doesn't want these two old men who have taken advantage of him and have no moral virtues to live too smoothly, so he gives them some eye drops.

"Now every household in the courtyard is building a house next to their house. Do you think we should build one too?" Qin Jingru sat on a small stool and leaned over to help Wang Zhong rub his feet that were soaked in the wooden basin.

Wang Zhong leaned on the large cushioned chair with carved backrests and closed his eyes to rest, without intending to open his eyes, and said, "Is our place too small to live in?"

Qin Jingru shook her head and said: "It's not small, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to live in when Xiao Heng gets bigger in the future."

Without stopping, he picked up Wang Zhong's feet one after another, placed them on the foot bed covered with towels, wiped off the water, and started massaging the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet.

"In the future, when Xiao Hengda grows up and doesn't live with us, there will be nothing to build."

"What if Xiaoheng lives with us?" Qin Jingru said, "And Xin Yi!"

Wang Zhong said: "Then change the warehouse and turn it into a bedroom, so that Xiao Heng and Xin Yi can share a room."

Qin Jingru said unwillingly: "But others have already built it."

"It's other people's business to build other people's houses. I can't control others, but our house can't do it. The land in the yard belongs to the state and the collective, and it's not ours. We can use it on a daily basis and grow some flowers, plants and vegetables." That’s enough, if we really build a house, its nature will change.”

Hearing this, Qin Jingru's heart trembled. Today's Qin Jingru is no longer the stupid girl who didn't know anything in the past.

She has been married to Wang Zhong for nearly twenty years. On weekdays, Wang Zhong often pulls Qin Jingru to wear red sleeves and read at night. After nearly twenty years of experience, words and deeds, let alone Qin Jingru, even if she is An illiterate person can become a well-educated person.

Qin Jingru immediately changed her words and said, "Then let's not build it!"

Compared with a small house of more than ten square meters, in Qin Jingru's eyes, Wang Zhong's future was obviously more important.

Wang Zhong is only in his forties now, and there are still more than ten years before retirement. If he can go further, the benefits he brings to his family will obviously be much greater than a small house of more than ten square meters.

"By the way, I heard that Yan Jiecheng and Yu Lina are having an affair at the restaurant!" Qin Jingru immediately changed the subject.

Wang Zhong said: "Isn't the business very good? Why did it go bad?"

Qin Jingru said: "Didn't you listen to what Si Zhu said?"

Wang Zhong asked: "What did Brother Zhu say?"

Qin Jingru immediately told Wang Zhong excitedly: "The fat man who works as the chef in Yu Li's restaurant, Silly Zhu's apprentice, seems to have failed to reach an agreement with Yu Li and the others because of his salary, and they had a conflict. With a few The apprentice has changed jobs."

Wang Zhong shook his head and sneered: "With Fatty's virtue, he can fool even the master like Silly Zhu, how can he be so easily manipulated?"

Qin Jingru said: "I heard that the couple are looking for chefs all over the world in the past few days."

"How can it be so easy to find a chef with good skills?" Wang Zhong shook his head: "If it had been more than ten or twenty years ago, or more than ten years later, the situation would have been better, but this time the reform and opening up has only just happened, and the skills are exquisite. There aren’t many chefs in their prime.”

"And this is Beiping City. Just Yan Jiecheng's small restaurant. It's impossible to find a skilled chef without spending a lot of money. It's useless to find a chef with two knives like Fatty."

Qin Jingru nodded with deep approval and said: "It was fine at the beginning, but now there are more and more restaurants in the city, which are much larger and higher-end than theirs. Just their small restaurant can have what business."

"I guess they can't survive this restaurant."

Wang Zhong thought of the strange behavior he had seen in Xu Damao these days, and asked, "Have you been in contact with Xu Damao's wife recently?"

"Not much contact!" Qin Jingru said: "But I heard that Xu Damao is living a very wealthy life now. The couple has a lot of money, and the way Xu Damao dresses up every day is called beautiful. I heard from the third aunt that it seems that Xu Damao is here I made a lot of money doing business outside.”

"Doing business?" Wang Zhong thought: "Is he alone?"

Qin Jingru said: "I heard that it was a partnership with the second uncle. By the way, brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi came back. It seems that it was because of the business cooperation with Xu Damao."

"Doing business with the second uncle?" Wang Zhong's eyes flashed slightly. Liu Haizhong did have an apprentice who was the deputy director of the branch factory under the steel rolling mill. Speaking of connections, he did have connections.

In the original plot, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong's family made a lot of money from the beginning by relying on Liu Haizhong's apprentice, Liu Haizhong, who prospered and prospered, by reselling steel.

"That's what I heard from Third Auntie. When Third Auntie said this, there seemed to be a bit of resentment in her words!"

Now Wang Zhong is busy with the rectification of the machinery factory, and Qin Jingru is his eyes and ears in the courtyard. Wang Zhong only knows about the matters in the courtyard through Qin Jingru.

"The third aunt's behavior is exactly the same as that of the third uncle. She has been scheming all her life. She probably wants to get in on her, but she doesn't let them play, so she feels resentful in her heart." Wang Zhong guessed.

Qin Jingru said: "I think so."

"Anyway, just remember one thing. We can accept these things in the courtyard, but don't get involved, and don't try to take advantage of them. Our family doesn't lack that little money."

Wang Zhong was afraid that Qin Jingru would be jealous, so he couldn't resist the temptation, so he handed over part of his family assets to Qin Jingru for safekeeping. Qin Jingru was also responsible for Wang Zhong's monthly salary and subsidies. The daily expenses of the family, including water, electricity, food, and clothes for all seasons, It was all managed by Qin Jingru.

The couple, one of whom is in charge of the outside, and the other in charge of the inside, can be regarded as harmoniously playing the piano and the harp, and their life goes smoothly.
