Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

After stealing the medicine, Jia Zhang felt a little hungry.

I searched the house but there was nothing to eat.

Seeing that Xiaodang and Huaihua were still sleeping, Jia Zhang quietly went to the corner of the wall, pried off a brick and took out a handful of banknotes from it.

This is where she hides her money, and there are several places like this in the house.

"It's a pity that Bang Geng is not here, otherwise I would take him to eat something."

Jia Zhang felt sorry for herself for being so tired during this period, so she took the meat coupons she had saved for a long time and went out to find a delicatessen shop.

I ordered some braised pork elbows and pork head and finished them all by myself.

After eating, she walked on the road to digest the food before returning home.

When she returned home, Qin Huairu had already come back and was cooking.

Xiaodang was playing with Huaihua.

Qin Huairu was speechless about Jia Zhang, the irresponsible grandmother who actually abandoned her two granddaughters and ran away.

After Qin Huairu finished cooking, she packed up her and Xiaodang’s portion and took Xiaodang and Huaihua to Shazhu’s house.

Sha Zhu prepared a lot of delicious dishes for the canteen reception today and asked her to bring her children there to eat in the evening.

Qin Huairu naturally would not bring leftovers back to the Jia family to eat.

Because Jia Zhang felt guilty about eating alone, she ignored Qin Huairu.

The Jia family always cooked a pot of cornmeal porridge for dinner and gave each person two steamed buns.

Yi Zhonghai had already figured out the Jia family's eating habits.

So Yi Zhonghai came when the meal was almost ready.

When he arrived, he was a little puzzled when he didn't see Qin Huairu.

Then he asked Jia Zhang, who was sitting on the bed sewing shoe soles:

"Sister Jia, where are Huairu and Banggeng?"

"Huai Ru, take the two children to Sha Zhu first. Bang Geng hasn't come back yet. If you're hungry, eat by yourself. I'll wait for Bang Geng to come back and eat together."

Jia Zhang had eaten a lot of greasy food in the afternoon and now had no appetite for cornmeal porridge, so she made up an excuse and said.

Yi Zhonghai touched the medicine in his pocket and smiled secretly, saying, "God is helping me."

"Sister Jia, I have something urgent to do. I'll get this meal home and eat it in the evening."

As Yi Zhonghai said this, he went to the pot and scooped a bowl of cornmeal porridge and took out two steamed buns. Then, while Jia Zhang was not paying attention, he put two sleeping pills in the cornmeal porridge and quickly stirred it to dissolve.

He was so excited that he didn't notice that there was only enough cornmeal porridge for three people in the pot.

He planned to wait until the Jia family fell asleep before sneaking over.

Then give Qin Huairu two pills of aphrodisiac.

Until then, Qin Huairu would still let him do whatever he wanted.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai became extremely excited. He took his bowl of cornmeal porridge and steamed bread back home and then left the courtyard.

Jia Zhang hadn't noticed that Yi Zhonghai had put medicine in the porridge.

After a while, Banggeng, who had been playing like crazy outside, came back. As soon as he came back, he complained that he was hungry.

He had a lot of fun outside today, and he couldn't get enough to eat just one steamed bun all day.

Jia Zhang felt sorry for Bang Geng so she let him eat his share.

Banggeng was hungry, so he finished the cornmeal porridge in just a few mouthfuls. He was still complaining with a steamed bun in his mouth.

Jia Zhang saw that the child was hungry, and it would take time to cook.

She suddenly remembered that Yi Zhonghai had just said that he would go back to get some food and eat it in the evening.

Since Yi Zhonghai is not here now, just give his portion to Bang Geng first and cook some for Lao Yi later.

"Bang terrier, grandma will get you some food right away."

As Jia Zhang said this, she went to Yi Zhonghai's house and brought back Yi Zhonghai's bowl of corn porridge and steamed bread.

Just as Jia Zhang came back, Qin Huairu came back from Sha Zhu.

Seeing that Banggeng was hungry, Qin Huairu said:

"Bang Geng, come with mom to Uncle Sha's for dinner. Uncle Sha brought back some braised pork and steamed buns tonight, and he left some for you."

Banggeng still wanted to be tough, but when he heard about the braised pork and steamed buns, his mouth couldn't help but water.

Looking at that bowl of cornmeal porridge and steamed corn bread, I no longer have any appetite.

But I have to leave my stomach for braised pork and big white steamed buns.

"Mom, I want to eat meat."

Qin Huairu was also happy when she heard this.

It was worth it for Shazhu to bring back delicious food to please Banggeng.

If Banggeng can accept Shazhu, then she and Shazhu will be able to get married earlier.

When Jia Zhang heard that Sha Zhu brought food to Bang Geng, she snorted in displeasure.

She remembered that Sha Zhu had beaten her up.

Qin Huairu left with Banggeng.

That bowl of cornmeal porridge is no longer needed.

Jia Zhang was just about to return the cornmeal porridge.

Suddenly I remembered those tonic pills I stole from Yi Zhonghai's house this afternoon.

It's just right to eat now and go to bed later.

Jia Zhang then took out the packet of medicine from her body.

There were more than twenty pills in the bottle, and she stole four of them.

Jia Zhang opened the paper package. Because the oil lamp was dim, Jia Zhang's hand shook and two pills fell out.

Jia Zhang felt a little sorry, so she threw the remaining two pills into her mouth and swallowed them.

"What's that smell? Why is it so fishy?"

Jia Zhang smacked her lips and swallowed the two pills.

Then she took the bowl of cornmeal porridge and steamed bread back to Yi Zhonghai's house.

What she didn't notice was that the two pills fell right into the cornmeal porridge.

After sending the porridge back, Jia Zhang stopped sewing the soles of the shoes. She tidied up briefly and went to bed.

On the other side, Qin Huairu took Banggeng to Shazhu's house.

In order to marry Qin Huairu as soon as possible, Shazhu would bring back delicious food for Banggeng whenever he found one.

But Bang Geng didn't appreciate it.

He still ate the good things, but didn't appreciate the kindness shown to Sha Zhu at all.

But when eating meat, Bang Geng's eyelids kept drooping for some reason.

In the end, he fell asleep at the table without eating a few bites.

"Bang terrier? Bang terrier!"

Qin Huairu shook the stick a few times and found that he was already asleep.

"He's probably tired from playing today. Normally it takes a long time to coax him to sleep."

"Since you are sleepy, let me go back to sleep."

In fact, Shazhu wants Banggeng to go back, so that he won't be alone in his family with Xiaodang and Huaihua.

And the little locust flower will not affect his intimacy with Qin Huairu.

During this period, he and Qin Huairu were in a hot relationship.

Haven't eaten the meat yet though.

But one is a virgin boy and the other is a long-lost widow.

The two of them took advantage of each other a lot when they were together.

When Qin Huairu saw Shazhu's expression, she had no idea what he was thinking.

She took the stick back directly.

Wait for Qin Huairu to return to Sha Zhu's house.

Yi Zhonghai just came back from outside.

He first looked in the direction of the Jia family, and the lights were off.

After thinking about it, he felt that it must be the sleeping pills that took effect.

To ensure that everything went smoothly, he went back home first and prepared to go to the Jia family later.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he saw cornmeal porridge and steamed corn bread on the table.

He just went out and is now very hungry.

Thinking about the tough battle to be fought in the evening, I have to eat a full meal.

He didn't even heat up the bowl of cornmeal porridge and ate it directly with the steamed bread.

"Why does this porridge taste so strange?"

After taking a few bites, Yi Zhonghai felt that the taste was different from usual, and there was an indescribable fishy smell.
