A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1009: The miserable Yan Jiecheng, randomly matching couples! (Please order the whole thing!)
Siheyuan, Jia's house.

Jia Zhang took out a piece of White Rabbit and coaxed the tense little face of Bang Geng:
"Bang Geng, come to grandma and see what she bought for you."

If it were in the past, Banggeng would have run over long ago, but this time, Jia Zhang's eldest grandson didn't treat his grandmother well. He remembered that day when his grandmother tricked him over and wanted to take revenge.

Although Banggeng is not very old, he has always been a vengeful person. He has not been close to Jia Zhang in the past few days, so that the usually stingy old witch Jia had to pay out of her own pocket to buy two White Rabbit cakes in order to win back the heart of her good grandson.

Seeing Bang Geng like this, Jia Zhang was unhappy, but she also knew she was in the wrong, so she forced a smile and said softly:
"Great! It's grandma's fault. She's old and confused. She should have called me Xiaodang last time!"

Xiaodang was less than four years old at that time, but he could understand some of the words adults said. When he heard his grandmother say this, he burst into tears.

Qin Huairu, who was making cornmeal porridge, wiped her hands, walked into the inner room, picked up Xiaodang and comforted him, while complaining:

"Mom, how can you say that? Xiaodang is also your granddaughter!"

That day, when Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard from the countryside, she learned about the story of Jia Zhang's trap from the third aunt in the front yard.

When Qin Huairu heard that her son was held hostage by the criminals, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She even dropped the corn flour she had just brought back from her mother's house. When she got home, she had a big quarrel with her mother-in-law.

But the ending is sad. Qin Huairu was successfully controlled by Jia Zhang and continued to work like a slave for her.

That’s right, Jia Zhang is so domineering, because all the pension given to Jia Dongxu by the steel rolling mill is in her hands. If she is unhappy, Qin Huairu and her mother will have no food to eat.

When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu scolding her, she glared at him:
"How else can I put it? Xiaodang is just a money-loser. How can he compete with my grandson? You should go outside and wait. It's already late. Don't wait for He Daqing to come back and give the lunch box to his stupid son. My grandson will starve to death by then!"

Qin Huairu was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Mom, Shazhu just woke up, it's time to replenish his body."

"Pooh!"

Jia Zhang didn't wait for Qin Huairu to finish her words before she spat at her:
"That idiot is as strong as a calf. He won't starve to death even if he doesn't eat for a few days. How can his cheap clothes compare to my grandson? His lunch box should be eaten by my grandson. You should wait at the gate of the courtyard quickly. Don't let that idiot get away with it!"

The reason why she said it so bluntly was that she wanted to please her eldest grandson by belittling Sha Zhu. After she finished speaking, she took out a piece of White Rabbit and smiled at Bang Geng:

"Grandma was wrong. As long as you forgive me, I'll give you both pieces!"

Banggeng felt relieved when he heard Jia Zhang say that Shazhu was not as important as him. He was also drooling over the two White Rabbit snacks. After struggling for a while, he decided to forgive his grandmother this time. He walked over reluctantly and took the two White Rabbit snacks in his hands.

Jia Zhang picked up Bang Geng and kissed him on the face: "Grandma's great grandson!"

After saying that, he raised his eyes and glared at Qin Huairu who was coaxing Xiao Dang: "Why don't you go to the door and wait for the lunch box!"

Qin Huairu had no choice but to say a few words to Xiaodang, asking the four-year-old girl to help look after her sister Huaihua, and then she walked out leisurely.

Even though she just told Jia Zhang that Sha Zhu needed to nourish his body or something, just looking at the fact that she only made cornmeal porridge in the evening without even a single dish, you could tell what she was planning.

What followed was the legendary situation of being both in office and in power again!
After walking out of the second door, passing the front yard, and passing the back house, she glanced at the He family. Knowing that Sha Zhu was recuperating at home, Qin Huairu did not stop and went straight out of the yard, looking towards the steel mill like a wife waiting for her husband.

At this time, the workers of the steel rolling mill came back one after another. After a while, she saw He Daqing walking towards her with his hands behind his back from afar.

When the other person came closer, Qin Huairu greeted him with a look of joy: "Uncle He, you must be tired after a day's work, let me help you get your lunch box!"

As he said this, he was about to walk forward and take the lunch box from behind He Daqing.

Unexpectedly, when He Daqing took out the lunch box and shook it, there was a crisp collision sound inside. It was obvious that there was only a spoon inside, which made Qin Huairu's face change.

He Daqing sighed: "Huai Ru, did your family offend Twelve? The people in the security department said that their section chief will not allow us to bring lunch boxes anymore!"

Qin Huairu's face changed. This was going to cut off their family's income. She said quickly:
"No, when my mother-in-law and Banggeng were in trouble, it was Twelve who rescued them personally!"

He Daqing raised his eyebrows: "Did your family buy some gifts and visit them to thank them afterwards?"

Qin Huairu said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle He, you know my family's financial situation. Dongxu just left, and there are five mouths to feed at home. How can we afford to give gifts to others?"

The two were walking back while talking, not paying attention to what was happening behind them. Xu Damao passed by on his bike and happened to hear what they were saying. He smiled from behind:
"Not only did she not thank me, but your old witch even cursed at Twelve!"

He Daqing and Qin Huairu's faces changed. Only then did they realize that the Jia family had offended them badly. They saved you, but you still scolded them afterwards. Aren't you a complete ungrateful person?

In fact, they had misunderstood Jia Zhang. Even if she had the courage, she would not dare to scold Hua Twelve to his face. Xu Damao was referring to what Jia Zhang said when Hua Twelve was taken away.

Qin Huairu hurriedly said: "Da Mao, where is Twelve? I'll go and apologize to him!"

Xu Damao pushed his foot and passed the two people on his bicycle. He turned around and smiled, "I don't know about that. If you want to wait, just wait!"

Of course he knew, he just didn't want to say it.

He Daqing looked at Qin Huairu, shook his head and sighed: "Huairu, your mother-in-law is too troublesome. You really should talk to her."

After saying this, he went back to the courtyard.

Qin Huairu returned home somewhat dejectedly. As soon as she entered the door, Bang Geng rushed over and asked, "Mom, what delicious food did you bring today?"

Jia Zhang was also looking forward to it, but when she saw her daughter-in-law had nothing in her hands, her eyebrows immediately stood up: "Where's the lunch box? He Daqing didn't give it to her? Did he really give it to a fool?"

The old witch didn't wait for Qin Huairu to speak and jumped off the bed:

"He Daqing, you want to starve our family to death, right? You deserve to be an old and penniless person. I'm going to go and talk to them!"

Qin Huairu was very upset. He Daqing already had a son and a daughter. How could he be extinct? She quickly pulled him:

"Mom, it has nothing to do with Uncle He. It was Hua Twelve who asked the security department to stop Uncle He and said that he was not allowed to bring lunch boxes anymore!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she started to curse: "What are we going to eat in the future? You are such a jerk."

She was about to scold when Qin Huairu interrupted her: "Hua Twelve doesn't allow you to bring a lunch box because you scolded him before. Go ahead and scold him. I won't care if he sends you back to the countryside!"

After hearing this, Jia Zhang suddenly became timid and dared not to curse anymore. After thinking for a while, she hurried out. Qin Huairu asked her where she was going behind her, but she didn't say anything.

After a while, Jia Zhang came back with a plate of scrambled eggs, smiling:
"Fortunately I went quickly, otherwise this plate of scrambled eggs would have been eaten by a fool!" Banggeng suddenly became happy. Suddenly he looked at the scrambled eggs that grandma had placed on the table and asked, "Grandma, why are there foam on the eggs?"

Jia Zhang said with an unnatural expression: "That's oil foam."

Five minutes ago, He Daqing made an egg and some pickles at home, intending to share it with Sha Zhu. But before he could eat, Jia Zhang rushed in.

Seeing the scrambled eggs on the table, Jia Zhang's eyes lit up, and then: "hetui, tui, tui"

He spit a few mouthfuls of spit into the plate, then asked the father and son, "Do you want to eat more?"

He Daqing and Sha Zhu were both confused. What was going on?
Before they could recover from their shock, Jia Zhang picked up the plate and left.

After Jia Zhang ran away, the He family father and son realized that this guy was here to steal the food, and they slammed the table at the same time:
"A sin!"

Neither the father nor the son were fools, and of course they were angry about Jia Zhang's actions. But when they thought of the charming Qin Huairu, they didn't seem so angry anymore.

Sha Zhu said first: "Dad, Sister Qin just gave birth to a child, and it's time to replenish her body, so I'll give them some food."

He Daqing said unhappily: "That's for your body's health. If you don't have any objections, what can I say?" He looked helpless on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking that the next time he touched Qin Guafu's hand, he would have to touch it a few more times to get his money's worth.

On the other hand, Hua Shier did not go to Huaxizi's house for dinner today. Instead, after get off work, he called Mensaner and went directly to Yu Li's house.

Yan Jiecheng is a jerk who doesn't know how to be grateful. He even takes advantage of others' misfortunes and makes sarcastic remarks. Does he think that all he needs to do is change his job?

Bah, wishful thinking!
Hua Shier went there today with Men Saner to intercept the enemy. Since it is a courtyard house, how could there not be some chance of intercepting the enemy?

The reason why Zhang Xuejun was not found was because Lao Zhang's image was similar to that of a certain big director in later generations, which made him unpopular. They were afraid that if they brought him to intercept, they would end up with nothing.

In order to intercept, Hua Shier made preparations in advance. In the afternoon, he found the director of the forging workshop, smoked and drank tea together, and asked him to arrange a heavier job for Yan Jiecheng, that is, to work overtime at night so that he would have no time to accompany his girlfriend.

So when Hua Shier and Men Saner rushed to Yu Li's house, Yan Jiecheng was still sweating profusely in the forging workshop, swinging a sledgehammer.

On the way, Men Saner asked Hua Twelve: "Chief, where are we going? You are so secretive that you didn't even tell me when Sixth Brother asked!"

Hua Twelve laughed: "Just follow me, you will know when the time comes!"

The two arrived at Yu Li's house. After knocking on the door, it was Yu Li who opened it. She had been going to the courtyard house a lot recently, so she naturally knew the section chief of the steel mill, Hua Twelve. When she saw it was him, she was startled:
"Chief Hua, why are you here? Is there something wrong with Yan Jiecheng?"

Hua Twelve smiled faintly: "It's not about Yan Jiecheng, I have something to discuss with you. Have you eaten yet? If not, let's go out and have something together!"

Yu Li had a puzzled look on her face, but she still told the truth: "I'm cooking it at home. If you don't mind, you can have some at my house!"

"No, I really have something to discuss with you. It's not good for others to know about this. Let's go to a nearby restaurant and have a meal together. I'll treat you and I promise not to let you drink!"

After hearing what he said, Yu Li put aside her worries, nodded and agreed, went back to tell her family, and the three of them went to a nearby tavern.

After entering, they ordered four dishes and the three of them ate while chatting.

Hua Twelve asked directly, "Yan Jiecheng has scolded me in front of you a lot recently, right?"

Yu Li smiled awkwardly and said nothing. The answer was yes. She used to work in the security department, patrolling and smoking every day, and the day passed by easily. She was free and easy. Now she swings a sledgehammer all day long. It would be strange if Yan Jiecheng didn't scold her.

Hua Shier waved his hand: "I know it even if you don't tell me, so I'll tell you straight out. Yan Jiecheng has offended me. I was the one who moved him to the forging workshop. I will continue to target him in the future. As long as I'm in the steel mill, he will never get ahead!"

Yu Li was immediately anxious. The matter between her and Yan Jiecheng was settled. Now this incident directly affected her future quality of life. She quickly poured wine for Hua Twelve.

"No, Chief Hua, how did Yan Jiecheng offend you? I asked him to apologize to you!"

Hua Twelve drank the wine, but shook his head to reject Yu Li's plea. Instead, he told Yu Li what Yan Jiecheng had done, without exaggerating, and gave his evaluation:
"Yan Jiecheng is a man who has no responsibility, no courage, and no gratitude. What future can you have with him? Besides, you've been to their house before, and they schemed like crazy. If you marry him, will they stop scheming? Can you live a good life?"

Hua Shier looked at Yu Li, who was nervous and confused, and smiled faintly: "I'll show you a way!"

He pointed at Men San'er beside him:
"This is my brother, he is brave, knowledgeable, responsible and loyal. When handling a case, I rush in first and he will definitely rush in second. Dad is an old hero with a good family background. He will be valued in the factory in the future. If you kick Yan Jiecheng and find him a date, I will get you a job in the steel mill and make both of you work. I mean what I say!"

Men San'er was drinking like nothing happened at first, but when he heard this, he almost spit it out, his face flushed, and he waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, Chief, I don't have any."

Yu Li was shocked at first by Hua Twelve's words, but when she saw Men San'er's incoherent and silly look, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hua Shier nodded immediately when he saw it, knowing that the matter was settled.

Just as Hua Shier thought, the next day Yu Li found Yan Jiecheng and told him about their breakup, then turned around and secretly started dating Men Saner.

This is not to say that Yu Li is fickle. The main reason is that in this era, it doesn't take long from a blind date to marriage. So although she and Yan Jiecheng were engaged, they had only known each other for a few days in total, and their emotional foundation was weak. Yu Li was an ambitious person, so what was wrong with pursuing a better life?

What's more, Uncle Zhang in his youth was full of masculine and powerful spirit, from hardware to software. In how way was he not better than Yan Jiecheng?
After Yan Jiecheng found out that Men San'er and Yu Li were dating, he didn't dare to say a word. He just went back to the courtyard and howled in the back room for half the night. He woke up the neighbor Sha Zhu, who kicked the door and punched him twice before he stopped. Then his howling turned into sobbing, which was so miserable.
Yan Bugui and his wife looked at their sad eldest son, and there was nothing they could do but sigh. They couldn't help but feel resentful towards Hua Twelve in their hearts.

A few days later, Yu Li appeared in the steel rolling mill. Hua Shier found her a temporary job in logistics and promised that he would find a way to make her a regular employee after she married Men Saner.

As for the Jia family, life became increasingly difficult without the support of the lunch boxes. Jia Zhang, however, held on to a large amount of pension but refused to give it out. As soon as Qin Huairu finished her confinement, she forced her daughter-in-law to take Jia Dongxu's job at the steel rolling mill.

Qin Huairu went to the factory to inquire and found out that she could only work in the fitter workshop to take over Jia Dongxu's shift. In the past, there was Yi Zhonghai, a great worker, taking care of her in the fitter workshop, so there was some hope. But now, as a rural woman who could hardly read and write, how could she possibly complete such a skilled job as fitter without anyone's help?

The factory also provided a solution: instead of going to the fitter's workshop, one could go to the factory sanitation team to clean the toilets.

Of course Qin Huairu was unwilling to clean the toilet. After she knew that Yu Li was assigned to logistics by Hua Shier, she thought of asking Hua Shier to help her as well.

That day, he got a plate of peanuts from the He family and brought it to Hua Twelve's room: "Twelve, Sister Qin has something to ask of you."

When she told him that she wanted to change jobs, Hua Twelve smiled:

"I can help you with this, but you have to agree to one condition. I think Uncle He is a nice guy and he's interested in you. If you follow Uncle He, I'll help you get a lighter job. What do you think?"
