The Great Era of Siheyuan

As night fell, Li Wenqiang accompanied his wife for dinner, but Liu Yuhua seemed to be worried about something and was a little absent-minded.

"What's wrong, wife? What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that this was the third time she was distracted, Li Wenqiang couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, nothing, let's eat!"

As if awakened by Li Wenqiang, Liu Yuhua hurriedly stuffed some rice into her mouth to hide her embarrassment.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

No matter how stupid Li Wenqiang was, he knew that there must be something wrong with her.

"No, there's nothing wrong! Stop worrying about it!"

Liu Yuhua explained hurriedly.

But she was thinking, what is the relationship between the girl next door who came this afternoon and Li Wenqiang. As soon as she came back today, she felt a slight hostility. The girl kept looking at her, and the same thing happened when she came back in the evening.

As a woman, she could easily sense the jealousy, envy, and inferiority in her eyes. How could she be hostile to a woman she had never met?

The only possibility is that last time she heard that Li Wenqiang took Qin Huairu to the countryside, this woman was most likely the one Li Wenqiang brought back from the countryside.

Thinking of this, she felt a little blocked in the heart.

She was thinking that she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to ask the Zhou sisters to share the burden, but it turned out that he had already found one. It was so infuriating!

"No, what do you mean? That look is creepy. Wife, if I have any questions, just tell me directly, okay? Don't keep it in your heart, or you will get hurt!"

Li Wenqiang felt uncomfortable all over when she looked at him, and it felt weird.

"Then let me ask, what is your relationship with the guy next door?"

Liu Yuhua put the bowl down and asked him.

"Is that what you did? It doesn't matter. I picked her up in the village. She crawled into my bed in the middle of the night and slept with me. Then she ran away the next day. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her!"

Li Wenqiang said confidently.

"I knew there was something wrong! You bad man, you fall in love with every woman you meet. Tell me honestly, how many women do you have?"

Liu Yuhua was furious and stretched out her hands to twist him a few times. This guy really didn't lie to her at all. Isn't it better to just treat it as coaxing her?

"Wife, this is not important. The most important thing is that you are the one I love the most! None of them can compare to you. It's not worth getting angry over her. If you don't like her, then I will find someone to marry her off. Look, three groups of people have already gone next door. As long as you ask, I promise to marry her off!"

Li Wenqiang grabbed her hand, held her in his arms and spoke seriously.

Qin Jingru was really dispensable to him. Although she was pretty and tender, her personality meant that she was greedy for money, flattering, and selfish. If she was around, she would be an unstable factor and she might explode at any time.

"I don't care about you, anyway, you are not allowed to bring her home, otherwise, or I will ignore you!"

Liu Yuhua felt sweet in her heart when she heard Li Wenqiang's words. Although she was somewhat reluctant that her man was shared by other women, she knew very well that it was impossible for her to possess him alone.

Being kind-hearted, she couldn't bear to take her away when she found out that the two of them had had physical contact, so she accepted it silently.

"Don't worry, I'll let her go in a few days! Don't be angry, it's not good to be angry! Come on, smile!"

After Li Wenqiang confessed, he seemed to become more and more relaxed and no longer hid anything in front of his wife.

One lie will eventually require countless lies to cover up the truth, so it is better to confess directly. He believes that Liu Yuhua can understand.

"One steamed bun, one pickled vegetable, and two slices of dried sweet potato per person. No one is allowed to take more!"

The third uncle was distributing food to his family members one by one.

"Dad, I'm helping the family earn money now, you should give me an extra steamed bun, otherwise I won't have the energy to work!"

Yan Jiefang looked at his father with some dissatisfaction. He gave two or three cents to his family every day, but he only ate this. It was too much.

"Yes, yes, you are right. You are a great contributor to our family. I will give you two more pieces of dried sweet potatoes as a reward."

As the third uncle said this, he gave him two more pieces of dried sweet potatoes.

"Dad, is that all?"

Yan Jiefang said dissatisfiedly, what can these two slices of sweet potato do? Eating them will make you have acid reflux and make you feel very uncomfortable.

"It's good to have something to eat. Do you want to eat meat? You have to earn it yourself! Don't you have a bowl of corn paste in your bowl? It's enough for you to eat!"

The third uncle said "arguing with reason".

"As the saying goes, if you eat too much, you won't be poor. If you don't plan well, you will be poor. If you eat too much, what will we do next month? Will we starve to death?"

"Can't you buy more food? We all have food vouchers. Can't you just buy all the food vouchers? I can't stand working on an empty stomach for too long!"

Yan Jiefang couldn't help himself today. He was fine some time ago, because he had a strong desire to make money. As time went on, his body didn't get enough nutrition, and he became more and more deficient. He couldn't even run. Pulling a cart is a physical job. If you don't eat enough, you will be useless if you continue for a long time.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you another half bowl of porridge. That should be enough now!"

The third uncle said this with some reluctance and added a little more to his bowl, filling it up directly, but it was not as much as the half bowl he said.

"Wait, wait, wait until I drink a little before you pour it!"

Yan Jiefang said hurriedly, then opened his mouth and started slurping along the edge of the bowl.

"That's enough! If you pour any more, it will be too much!"

The third uncle put the casserole away with a smile.

"Dad, that's not enough, it's not even half a bowl, add some more!"

Yan Jiefang said dissatisfiedly that even half a bowl of corn porridge required calculation, and he was so angry that he had no place to vent.

"How can it not be enough? You've eaten it all. That's enough. Your brothers and sisters haven't eaten yet!"

After saying this, the third uncle gave half a bowl to the others.

"Ah, is that all we have?"

Yan Jiekuang pouted.

"You two don't have to work, so it's okay to eat less! When you can make money like your brother, Mom will give you the same amount."

At this time, the three aunts chimed in.

"Tsk! You're lying again!"

Yan Jiekuang muttered something and started eating. There was no point in arguing anymore, so it was better to save his energy.

"Dad, give me some too!"

At this time, Yan Jiecheng put the bowl on the table and spoke to the third uncle in a casual tone.

"Want to eat more? Then you have to contribute more to the family. Your brother now gives the family 30 cents a day. How much do you plan to give?"

The third uncle asked with a smile.

"Dad, do you have to be so serious? It's just some corn paste. Can't I give it to you when I make money later?"

Yan Jiecheng didn't expect that the third uncle would be so disrespectful. His younger brothers could eat more, but he, as the older brother, didn't. This was obviously differential treatment.

"Then wait until you make some money. Also, you owe your family more and more money now. You already owe 187.34 yuan. You have enough money to buy a bicycle, so you should have enough money to pay off your debts, right?"

The third uncle looked at him and said seriously.

"How is that possible? How could I owe so much money? Wasn't it less than 150 last time?"

Yan Jiecheng jumped up immediately when he heard this.

"You told me last time. You crashed cars twice. Have you forgotten?"

The third uncle said without even raising his head.

"I repaired it once, and it only cost me a few dollars at most. How could it be as much as you said?"

Yan Jiecheng said unconvinced.

"Yes, you said you only repaired it once, but what about the other time? Considering the wear and tear of the bicycle, I'm asking you for this little, which is a bargain. I'm telling you, if you don't pay me back, I'll take your bicycle as collateral."

The third uncle said very directly.

"You, how can you be like this? I won't eat it anymore!"

Yan Jiecheng grabbed a steamed bun angrily and turned away.

"You bastard, come back here and put the buns down!"

"Dad, my brother took an extra bun. We believe in fairness in our family, so I want to take one more too."

After Yan Jiefang finished speaking, he extended his hand onto the table.

With a bang, he was immediately knocked down by the three aunts.

"That's all for tonight. He's got no more steamed buns for tomorrow. That's it!"

After the third aunt finished speaking, she glanced at the few people and immediately suppressed all the unrest.

"This Jie Cheng, I wanted to talk to him about something, but he ran away. What a loser! Today, Qin Huairu brought her sister back to the hospital. She is so pretty. If your brother doesn't come back tomorrow, I will let you go on a blind date. Jiefang, you must work hard and don't let your mother down!"

After saying this, the third aunt did not forget to give Yan Jiefang a sweet treat.

"Really?"

Yan Jiefang was overjoyed.

"Of course, you can go and see it later, it's so beautiful!"

The third aunt said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go check it out after I finish eating."

After Yan Jiefang finished speaking, he even ate his food faster.
