Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 177 Three brothers who fell in love at a young age

After hearing Factory Director Yang's words, Mrs. Jia Zhang couldn't even close her mouth with laughter.

"Okay, then let's do it. You said it. As long as someone wants it, I will stay in that workshop."

Factory Director Yang nodded and continued: "Well, that's true, but if there is still no workshop willing to hire you after three months, then you will have to clean the administrative building."

"Row!"

At this time, Jia Zhang didn't believe that no one wanted her.

In the blink of an eye, the new year is approaching, and Jia Zhang still has not found a factory where she can stay for more than half a month.

Of course, the factory hasn't been completed yet, so she still has a chance.

This year, everyone’s New Year’s Eve dinner is also canceled.

There were two rains in the second half of the year, and neither of them was as heavy as the middle rain, so it became even more difficult.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu's family coming back, Xu Damao took his wife to pay New Year's greetings.

He doesn't want to be a bad father, but he can't help it. Children are not fastidious, so a meal occasionally on weekends is enough.

Then he shook his head and said: "If you want to help, it's not now, you have to wait..."

Li Xiuzhu looked at Xu Damao, then at Song Yunping, and smiled.

Chang Hankun's baby is still young and doesn't have to endure hardships.

Chen Xueru smiled and said: "We Qingqiu have grown up."

"Let's wait a moment..."

"And it's not a very serious time now. At least people haven't starved to death yet, right? If so, it would be unprofessional."

Although five kilograms is not much, it is more than half a kilogram in a bowl.

Besides, isn’t it always advocated that the poor should raise children and the rich should raise daughters?

Jiang Meiying looked at the sky and frowned slightly. Chen Xueru came over and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Why is my sister's big baby still frowning?"

Each yard was given five pounds of pork for the New Year's Eve dinner, allowing them to have a good year in this disaster year.

Chen Xueru said with a smile: "It's not our family that's having the hard time. Our family has everything. We just have to pity the three little guys."

Ruan Qingqiu was puzzled, but Chen Xueru explained: "Wait until Mr. Li speaks..."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this. He opened his eyes and looked at Wang Fengxia from bottom to top. Li Xiuzhu then smiled.

Li Xiuzhu's family moved to Mao'er Hutong early. It was not convenient for me to eat meat in the courtyard, so they came over after the children had their winter vacation.

Starting from this year, wineries are no longer allowed to produce wine and can only sell old wine, but the price of wine has suddenly risen.

Not only did Xu Damao come, he also brought gifts, wild mountain delicacies, a chicken, and two bottles of wine.

"Is the banquet still on?"

Of course, not all of them came over. Tian Zao was still there, still making the children suffer.

And this is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is that it’s the end of the year and it doesn’t snow.

"If you go to Daying, I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

This was fine in previous years, but this year, it is a rarity.

At this time, Ruan Qingqiu came over and said with a little compassion in his eyes: "Sister, don't we help?"

"But there are still differences in the taste of food in Britain and Hong Kong."

The price of wine in the tavern has reached 15 cents.

Jiang Meiying said: "It didn't snow this year. It looks like it will be even more difficult next year."

"Da Mao is in good health. Congratulations to you for holding your beauty back."

It wasn't until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that Li Xiuzhu and the others returned to their home in the courtyard.

Wang Fengxia paused after hearing this, and then continued: "It is best to go to Hong Kong Island. After all, we are all Chinese, and it is convenient to go out to buy things."

"wait???"

"After the New Year, you can go out with me and Xueru."

"You know, I don't speak a foreign language yet."

Wang Fengxia looked here, and while tapping Li Xiuzhu's shoulder, she asked softly: "Xiuzhu, can you take me for a walk next time you go abroad?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "It doesn't matter whether you can speak foreign languages ​​or not. It's more dangerous outside than at home. I will definitely follow you when you go out."

Xu Damao heard this and said quickly: "Stop, isn't this...because of this matter, I want to ask my uncle and Aunt Xueru to help me."

"Uncle Li, I will take my wife to wish you a happy new year."

Wang Fengxia smiled and was very happy after hearing this.

"Okay, do you want to go to Hong Kong Island or Daying?"

But this is not the end yet. Now Xu Huizhen has begun to drink. Each person can only buy one or two a day, and he will not sell any more.

"It doesn't matter if I'm your translator."

When Chen Xueru heard this, she rolled her eyes and understood.

"Da Mao can't get meat, so he wants to get the autumn wind from your aunt."

Xu Damao didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Who in our yard doesn't know that Auntie, you have great magical powers. What others can't do, Auntie, you can definitely do it. If I don't come to beg you, who else can I beg for?" .”

Chen Xueru smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, then glanced at Xu Damao's things, and looked at Li Xiuzhu with questioning eyes.

Li Xiuzhu saw Chen Xueru's gaze and nodded and said with a smile: "Da Mao has been sensible since he was a child. If I can help you, please help."

Xu Damao:......

Song Yunping:......

To be honest, Xu Damao looks much more mature than Li Xiuzhu. For those who don't know, it's almost the same if he changes his identity.

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this and said, "Tell me what you want first, but Damao, don't be too open-minded. These days are no better than in previous years, and everything is more expensive."

When Xu Damao heard this, he quickly smiled and said, "How can I? I don't know how much I weigh."

"Auntie, I just need twenty catties of pork belly, twenty catties of vegetables, and ten catties of white flour."

Chen Xueru nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, I'll give it to you, but the price must be based on the market price."

Xu Damao didn't have any dissatisfaction when he heard this. He quickly took out eight big black tens with a smile and said, "This is what it should be. A pound of pork in the black market is now two yuan and two, and five cents are two and a half yuan. This is eighty yuan. If you do more, I will honor you and my uncle."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru knew that Xu Damao had paid at least ten yuan more, which was half a month's salary for an ordinary employee.

"You feel sorry for your wife, she still holds such a big banquet these days."

Hearing this, Xu Damao said embarrassedly: "Auntie, you misunderstood. The ten kilograms of meat in it are for my father-in-law."

"I had agreed before that I wanted to ask you and my uncle for help, but Silly Zhu beat me up and there was no time."

"When I was about to come here years ago, you and my uncle went there again, and it's been delayed until now."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru nodded.

"Okay, I know what happened. You can come and get your things tomorrow."

Xu Damao didn't expect that Chen Xueru could get everything done in one day, and he immediately smiled.

"Thank you, aunt, let's go back first."

"Yunping, why don't you quickly thank your uncle and aunt?"

Song Yunping hurriedly said: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt."

"Okay, you're welcome, come back."

After the two left, Chen Xueru suddenly asked: "Husband, do you feel anything is wrong?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this and said, "It's a little bit, but I don't see what's wrong." Xu Damao's family was the first to come, but not the last.

What's more, what Li Xiuzhu didn't expect was that just after Xu Damao left, Xu Damao's old enemy Silly Zhu came.

Silly Zhu looked decadent and downcast at this time.

Li Xiuzhu said funnyly: "What's wrong? Are you being cooked?"

"Those who know know that you are here to pay New Year greetings to me and your aunts, but those who don't know think that you are here to collect debts from us."

Silly Zhu said with a depressed look: "Uncle Li, please stop teasing me. I don't have a wife anymore, so I feel very uncomfortable."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "That's it?"

"Isn't this enough?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head in a funny way and said, "What time is it now? It's a disaster year. Isn't it easy for you to marry a wife?"

"When times get more difficult and you fall in love with a young girl from a certain family, just carry fifty kilograms of white flour and go there. No one will refuse you."

Don't talk about white noodles. When the time comes, you can find a partner even if you carry twenty pounds of carrots. If you have fifty pounds of white noodles, you can pick them up and marry them. Don't even want the ones that don't look good.

Silly Zhu was startled when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "Uncle, can I get a wife with fifty pounds of white flour? No other betrothal gifts are needed? Or do you want me to choose?"

Said Shazhu reacted.

"Uncle, this is the year of disaster, right?"

"This can't be done. How can there be continuous disasters?"

My child, you are still young. When do major disasters not start in two or three years?

Li Xiuzhu didn't say anything else. After chatting with Shazhu for a while, he asked him to kneel down.

Yes, they really knelt down. It was a tradition in this courtyard for juniors to kneel to their elders, but his family had never knelt down to an old lady.

Of course, he never asked Silly Zhu and the others to kneel down. They were all voluntary, and he gave them lucky money.

Sha Zhu left, and Zhou Rushui also came with Sun Tingting. The little girl was as old as the two eldest children in his family and was now in elementary school.

He was also very close to Li Xiuzhu. If it hadn't been for a blood test back then, eighty people in the yard would have thought it was his seed.

"How does Tingting feel about going to school?"

When Sun Tingting heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "Going to school is not good at all. I have to study every day and have no time to play."

Good guy, are you tired of studying to this extent? It's a shame that this happened now. In the next few decades, wouldn't it be true that I would suffer from jade syndrome since I was a child?

"Okay, if you don't like going to school, just go to school casually. When you finish high school, find a job and get married."

Hearing this, Li Jianguo and Li Jianye hurried over and said, "Dad, I like sister Tingting."

"Dad, I want to marry sister Tingting."

Li Xiuzhu, Chen Xueru and Zhou Rushui all laughed.

Before the three of them could speak, Sun Tingting stopped.

"No, I won't marry you. You have a runny nose and are disgusting."

Zhou Rushui said with an embarrassed smile: "Tingting, what are you talking about? How can you not have a runny nose when you have a cold?"

When Sun Tingting heard this, she tilted her head and said, "I don't have a runny nose when I have a cold. I wiped it with a small handkerchief, but they didn't wipe it."

Li Jianguo and Li Jianye lowered their heads in shame upon hearing this.

At a young age, they may never have thought that they would fall out of love at such a young age.

Chen Xueru glanced at her two cheap sons angrily and scolded: "Let's see if you still pay attention to hygiene in the future. It's better now. Your sister Tingting already dislikes you."

"Mom, we know we were wrong."

"Auntie, I was wrong."

At this time, Li Yunfeng also came over accompanied by Qin Huairu and said to Sun Tingting: "Sister Tingting, I like you too, I don't have a runny nose."

Li Xiuzhu hugged the lovely Sun Tingting and said with a smile: "Our Tingting is really loved by everyone. Your brother and brothers all like you."

Sun Tingting said with a sad face: "But Tingting only likes Uncle Li and only wants to marry Uncle Li."

Li Xiuzhu froze when he heard this, and even the hand holding Sun Tingting froze.

"Ahem, Tingting, don't say such nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. I just like Uncle Li and want to marry Uncle Li when I grow up." The serious look on his innocent little face is very helpless.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Zhou Rushui and said helplessly: "Rushui, I don't..."

Before Li Xiuzhu could finish speaking, Chen Xueru interrupted Li Xiuzhu.

"Hey, you took what the kid said seriously, why do you still need to explain it?"

"It will take more than ten years to get married. They say that women undergo a major change. This change is not only about their appearance, but also their thoughts."

Zhou Rushui also said quickly: "Brother, my sister is right, I believe you."

Chen Xueru looked at Li Jianguo and Li Jianye and said with a smile: "You two little guys did it all, why don't you go do your homework?"

Hearing this, Li Jianye said weakly: "But I want a wife."

The four adults burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'll find you a wife when you grow up. You're still young, so studying is the most important thing."

"Study hard. When you reach the age of marriage, whoever studies well will be the first to find a wife."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers' eyes lit up.

"Mom, I will definitely study hard."

"I'll study hard too."

Chen Xueru couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, why don't you go and do your homework?"

When the two little guys heard this, they turned around and ran to study.

At this time, Li Yunfeng, the mistress beside him, became anxious. He grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Mom, I don't have any homework. If you give me homework, I will study hard."

"Pfft~"

"Haha~"

Chen Xueru smiled and said to Qin Huairu: "It's a good thing that Yunfeng likes to learn. You can teach Yunfeng a few additions and subtractions within ten."

Qin Huairu responded after hearing the words and then took Li Yunfeng away.

Chen Xueru saw the three little ones leaving, and then said to Li Xiuzhu: "These three children were just like you when they were young."

After hearing this, Li Xiuzhu couldn't argue even if he wanted to. Indeed...the sons, like their father, particularly like women.

"Tingting, this is the New Year's money for you. Remember to give it to your mother when you go back and ask her to save it for you."

Zhou Rushui knew that this was the settling-in allowance given by her eldest sister, and it had been this way for so many years.

Sun Tingting pouted and said, "Do I have to give it to my mother again? It's obviously my lucky money, but my mother only gives me thirty cents every year."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said, "Mom can give you one dollar this year."

Sun Tingting's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly asked: "Is what Uncle Li said true?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

"Of course it's true, but you have to save some flowers and don't give them to others."

"Many people will try to trick you into giving them money when they see you are rich, but you won't be able to make real friends this way."

Sun Tingting was startled when she heard this and asked, "Uncle, how can I make real friends?"
