Chapter 44 You're Such a Good Pillar
own wages to survive in the famine year. It certainly wouldn't be enough to support their families!In this situation, white flour becomes even more precious.In the Jia family, Qin Huaiyu acts like bo...Lou Xia'e is a person with a quick temper and she gets angry and calms down quickly.
After some hard work from He Yuzhu, the young woman soon became subdued.
By the time he returned to the courtyard, refreshed and invigorated, a group of neighbors were gathered by the well, chatting away.
Someone lit a bunch of mosquito coils by the edge.
No, it's not mosquito coils, that thing is called mosquito smoke.
In the open air, with such a large area, no one would be foolish enough to light such a small amount of mosquito repellent to ward off mosquitoes.
Light some dry wood and let the fire burn brightly. After a while, place a handful of green grass on top. When white smoke starts to rise, the mosquitoes around you will naturally decrease.
He Yuzhu found it quite novel at first sight. He never imagined that people in the past would use PM2.5 exceeding the standard to kill mosquitoes, and surprisingly, it worked really well.
If you just stay a little farther away, it won't be too harsh.
Someone who was kindhearted saw him out in the open and couldn't help but curiously approach him to chat.
"Hey Zhuzi, you're back from the backyard, huh What delicious dish did you make for Grandma today It smells so good!"
"Yeah, my kids were drooling just smelling it, they gobbled down two steamed buns.
He Yuzhu smiled and explained: "Fish-boiled in chili oil, it's normal to be fragrant. In the end, I sprinkled some peppercorns and minced garlic on top of the bowl, then drizzled hot oil over it. If that isn't fragrant, then there's no justice in the world!"
"Well done, you're so generous! The neighborhood office gave you a fish as a reward, and you turned around and gave it to the old woman right away"
"Well, it's nothing! Isn't the big boss always teaching us to respect our elders I'm just putting that into practice. Besides, the old lady has been living alone for so many years, and she's close to me. It's really not a big deal for me to cook her some fish!"
The Moral Heavenly Venerable, who was fanning himself away from mosquitoes in the distance, was delighted to hear this. He had certainly picked the right person! This child, Zhùzi, was truly filial!
The reason I don't get along with the Jia family is entirely because Jia Zhang is a terrible person!
Ever since Jia Zhang's last verbal lashing, calling him a deadbeat, Yi Zhonghai has absolutely no intention of dealing with that old hag again!
"Haha! No wonder you were awarded as advanced, just based on this ideological awareness, ordinary people really can't compare!"
He Yuzhu humbly replied, "What's so strange about that We are a progressive courtyard, aren't we It's normal for someone from a progressive place to be advanced."
"Advanced is advanced, that's really well said!"
...........
Taking advantage of the time when he was fetching water outside, He Yuzhu wanted to go to the people's store on the side.
The main reason he was so thirsty was because he had eaten spicy food for dinner and then exerted a lot of physical energy, sweating all over. He really needed an ice pop to quench his thirst right now.
After circling around and around, he finally walked out of the alleyway. Unexpectedly, he bumped into an acquaintance at the corner.
"Yu Li What are you doing out here in the middle of the night, why aren't you back in the yard"
Because of the bicycle repair incident, she had an argument with her husband Yan Jiecheng after returning home.
The young wife complained that her husband didn't defend her, but Yan Jiecheng blamed her for not being careful enough. Today, she shouldn't have gone to Zuo Jiazhuang on a motorcycle to exchange sweet potatoes, otherwise she wouldn't have been tricked by the elderly couple.
To sum it up, this person still wants to take the blame for this mess.
The husband was meek in front of his in-laws, but when he returned to the room, he puffed up with pride. Yu Li felt increasingly indignant and ran off to cry under the eaves of this house for a while. She hadn't expected to be seen by He Yuzhu.
"Pillars, pillars, good evening." Atori wiped the tears from her eye corners and managed to squeeze out a smile.
Oh, why are you crying again
He Yuzhu smacked his lips: "You're crying here, so don't be polite to me! Quickly wipe your tears, or someone will see you later and say I'm bullying a woman."
He made Yuli giggle with a single sentence.
The young woman gave him a reproachful glance: “That’s not true, who dares to wrong you now, this advanced one”
"Alright, just stay here and wait for me a while."
He Yuzhu finished speaking and left first. Looking at his disappearing figure, Yu Li was a little confused about what this person wanted to do.
In a short while, He Yuzhu walked back with an ice lolly in his mouth and another one in his hand.
"Here, have some refreshments to cool down."
Looking at He Yuzhu's outstretched popsicle, Yu Li felt a little embarrassed.
"We're neighbors in the same courtyard. This popsicle isn't worth much, so don't be polite with me."
Yuri also thought so, she was afraid that she had been tricked by the Lao Yan family's people. She even dared not eat an ice pop after going out.
Thank you.
This kind of candy popsicle only costs one penny a piece, yet Yuri licked it with extraordinary care.
Looking at her little red tongue lapping back and forth on the popsicle, He Yuzhu couldn't help but raise his glass to her. Well, this sight wasn't very elegant...
He Yuzhu, who was doing well, suddenly bent over. Yu Li was a little puzzled.
Seeing the young wife's puzzled look, He Yuzhu chose to quickly change the subject: "What's wrong Did you have a disagreement with Big Three"
Upon hearing this, Yuli was taken aback. She then awkwardly tucked the strands of hair that had fallen in front of her forehead, and began to speak, "Zhuzi, I have to be honest with you, you...don't laugh at me."
He Yuzhu waved his hand: "No way, I know Third Master's character well. You're the only one who can tolerate him. If it were me, the front yard would have been blown up long ago."
This is how Li Xin is, Zhuzi's just like that kind of temperament. Didn't the Jia family from Zhongyuan run into his gun yesterday
What he did to Gangan was truly terrible, and he also gave Jia Zhang a good scolding. This pair of ancestors deserved it long ago!
"Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to say this...."
"Li explained the whole story clearly, and He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh: 'Well, this is really something that the Third Master could do!'"
Yu Li shook her head: "I actually know what kind of person my father-in-law is. He just never stood up to say a word for me from beginning to end. After returning to the house, he pushed all the blame onto me. That's what hurts me the most."
He Yuzhu curled his lips: "This Jie Cheng is such a spineless man. He marries into a family, eats and wears clothes provided by them. If he can't even stand up for himself at home, then don't expect to have a good life in the future."
After hearing that, Yuri felt like the popsicle in her mouth wasn't as sweet as before.
As the saying goes, "A spectator sees more than a player." Although He Yu Zhu's words are harsh, his point is valid. If you want a better life in the future, you can't rely on Yan Jie Cheng anymore. Women should be self-reliant!
"Column, what's inside You, can you lend me some money"ced at the worker who came to collect his meal: "Don't you know how to read Master He said that from now on, there will be no such thing as 'dipping a spoon' in our canteen. We are all one family, and...
