The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 229 New Partner

The second sister took Yi Xiaoqing to the bathhouse on the street.

Chen Jisheng continued to educate his younger brother Chen Xiaobao and younger sister Chen Xue.

After finishing all the instructions, Chen Jisheng went to the uncle's house again.

Living in Chen's house is not a bad thing for Yi Xiaoqing.

But that place is not her home after all. For now, the first man's house is her home.

After sitting with the elder for a while, the old couple felt good and agreed to let Yi Xiaoqing live at home.

"Master, maybe this is the kind of caregiver you should be looking for.

Silly column, haha..."

With a meaningful smile, Chen Jisheng left the uncle's house.

"Lao Yi, the third son of the Chen family..."

Looking at where Chen Jisheng was sitting just now, the aunt was still a little confused.

“He’s a young man with a profound knowledge, so let’s follow him from now on.

Xiaoqing has a good temperament, and the third child of the Chen family said that she might be allowed to live there.

She is the most suitable to provide for us in our old age. "

Hiding a trace of guilt in his heart, Lao Yi looked in the direction of the backyard. Maybe some of what the deaf old lady said was wrong.

Chen Jisheng returned to the front yard and sat down at the stone table. In a short time, his second sister came back with Yi Xiaoqing.

Seeing the slightly red eyes of the second sister, Chen Jisheng knew that his guess was probably not wrong.

"The clothes are placed at the uncle's house in the middle courtyard. If you don't know which door is there, go over and ask.

Come back for dinner later. "

Seeing Yi Xiaoqing carrying a bundle of clothes, he knew it was the clothes she had changed into.

The new one is a [-]-style military uniform, with a touch of green that will be the most popular in the next ten years.

It's just that the clothes have become fatter, the person has become thinner, and they are baggy on the body.

After sending Yi Xiaoqing away, who was still restrained, Chen Jisheng winked at the second sister and got a big eye roll in return.

“Are you still awesome?
No matter how arrogant you are, I will rub you on the ground every day. "

Looking at the grinning second sister, Chen Jisheng smiled indifferently.

If you threaten, you just open your mouth.

"You are the only one who is great, you are the only one who can do this!

I am nothing. "

Thinking about what her younger brother said just now, Chen Baohong became a little angry with herself.

If the four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not separated, it is just oneself.

"You are Gu Lei's wife."

After pricking the second sister's lung cavity again, Chen Jisheng didn't care about her feelings.

Now is the right time for special training.

"You wait for me!

If dad doesn't take care of you, I'll tell mom that I won't tolerate you being such a bully. "

Chen Baohong was helpless and had no choice but to move out of her parents' home.

She really couldn't resist her younger brother Chen Jisheng's sharp words.

"It will take several years, just wait..."

After taking a deep look at his second sister, Chen Jisheng sighed, but he must not have any accidents.

Ten years, ten years in the northwest, have been very difficult.

Chen Jisheng's words made the second sister Chen Baohong a little dumbfounded, thinking of many things planned by her younger brother.

She could only take a deep look at her third brother, not knowing what to say.

After a while, when it was almost time to eat, Yi Xiaoqing returned to the front yard with red eyes.

It was obvious that he had been influenced by the uncle. Lao Yi was a good person and knew the principles of following the stick when beating a snake.

The Chen family's lunch meal was still sumptuous, including two meat dishes, a fish soup, and porridge specially cooked for Yi Xiaoqing.

Today is Sunday, and the third and fourth children of the Zhang family are also at the table.

"Xiaoqing, I will call you this from now on, and you can just call me this too.

The porridge is yours. Finish the porridge, drink some fish soup, and eat! "

Chen Jisheng said it would be a good idea to start construction, and everyone else was not polite and started eating and drinking.

Yi Xiaoqing swallowed her saliva and drank the somewhat salty vegetable porridge.

Among those present, especially Chen Jisheng and the fourth child of the Zhang family, were the worst eaters. Not only did they eat quickly, but they also made noises in their mouths.

While drinking the hot vegetable porridge, tears fell from Yi Xiaoqing's eyes.

Except for eating white rice when she was little, she hasn't tasted rice for a long time.

I had just finished my fourth bowl and felt a little warm in my stomach when Brother Chen across from me knocked on the table with his chopsticks.

"Xiao Qing, it's almost done. Finish the fish soup and don't eat any more."

Reluctantly, she looked at the vegetable porridge with more than half of the pot left, and the second sister of the Chen family scooped out fish soup for her.

The fresh and sweet taste is something I have never tasted before, so good.

"Put down the bowl and go for a few steps in the courtyard."

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Chen Jisheng kept urging Yi Xiaoqing to move her longing eyes away from the dinner table.

The second sister wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say anything even though she was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Chen Xiaobao, on the other hand, ignored the matter and ignored it. Only his younger sister, Chen Xue, snorted unhappily.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. The old man at home said that you can't eat much if you are hungry for a long time.

It is best to drink gruel for four or five days, and at most fish soup.

Eating meat, eating dry food, and drinking broth will spoil your appetite. "

Brother Chen was furious when he heard that a little girl his own age was there.

Yi Xiaoqing said softly what she heard from the old man at home.

Although I don’t know the reason, this is what the old man at home kept saying when I left home.

The new father also only let her eat a small amount of dry food. This meal in the Chen family was the most filling meal in so many years.

"Okay, you go out for a walk.

When you are hungry, drink less porridge and no more fish soup. "

After Yi Xiaoqing went out, Chen Jisheng glared at Chen Xue and raised his chopsticks to give her a chop.

But the little girl still snorted and looked up at Chen Jisheng, obviously not afraid.

"Second sister, take care of her." Reluctantly, he put down his chopsticks and asked the second sister for help, but he only got a big blank stare.

Obviously the second sister also holds a grudge.

"Xiaoxue, you must remember what I told you. Look where Xiao Qingcha is and teach her a lesson.

Xiaobao, Laosi, I will ask someone to set up your school for her. Anyone who bullies Xiaoqing will have a loud mouth.

If you don't want your teeth to be pulled out, I'll come back and teach you how to control your strength. "

Seeing that Chen Xiaobao and Lao Si had clearly received his instructions, Chen Jisheng felt better.

For the second sister and the younger sister, Chen Jisheng could only dote on them, except of course when they sat with their buttocks crooked.

There is no politeness to Chen Xiaobao. If he doesn't obey, he will be made the third and fourth son of the Zhang family.

The more you beat, the stronger your physique will become.

Chen Xiaobao is obviously much stronger now than when he first came here.

The reason why he accepted Yi Xiaoqing without any hesitation was because the second sister was about to get married.

There is only Chen Xue left in the family, and she will be very lonely.

If not for Lao Yi sending Yi Xiaoqing over, the time would be just right.

As for the issue of Yi Xiaoqing's academic status, with Lao Ma as the master, Chen Jisheng does not need to find anyone else.

Go to the street and make a phone call, and things will basically be settled.

The teachers in the school don't want to eat the fireworks of the world, but the leaders at the education center also want to eat.

For Lao Ma, these are all trivial things.

As the only complex responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, the director of a supply and marketing cooperative in an urban area has an absurd amount of power among the middle and lower classes.

Existences belonging to the third level of Jianguan are of course only for the middle and lower levels. If you go to the next level, the old horse will be in trouble.

Having no choice but to join the ranks of the pigeon market and the black market is also Lao Ma trying to protect his position.

Red Star High School was under the jurisdiction of the steel rolling mill, and it was originally a good idea to ask Li Huaide for this matter.

But Li Huaide is insidious, and it remains to be seen whether he turns his back on the truth. Chen Jisheng doesn't want to take the initiative to hand over the handle to Lao Li.

After a few days of recovery, Yi Xiaoqing was slowly integrating into the small group in the courtyard.

This girl is diligent and hard-working. She gets up at the same time as Chen Jisheng every day.

After finishing cleaning up Lao Yi's side, he endorsed it while cleaning up the Chen family's side.

Hard work always pays off, and high school courses are not that complicated these days.

According to Chen Xue's feedback, Yi Xiaoqing could already understand the other courses except that he didn't have to rush for math.

"You don't need to clean up my things. Your sister-in-law from the Zhang family in the backyard and sister-in-law from the Yan family in the front yard will come and clean it up."

Although Chen Jisheng said it several times, Yi Xiaoqing would come over and clean up the house every day.

And with different emotions, because of this, Chen Jisheng also quietly observed her.

Every afternoon, Yi Xiaoqing would find an opportunity to go to the deaf old lady's place. The old guys' methods can be regarded as smooth and silent.

Since Zhang Chong moved in, Qin Jingru and Yu Li have taken over the family's business of washing and cooking.

At first it was just the cousin of the Qin family who came over, but later Qin Jingru was discovered by the third aunt.

Yu Li also went from coming here occasionally to coming here regularly.

When I met the third uncle in the morning, Lao Yan also said that since there was no woman at home, he asked Yu Li to help.

The three women each competed for their own opportunities, and Chen Jisheng was also happy to watch the show.

The weather turned cold again, and when he put on his fleece jacket, Chen Jisheng missed his eldest sister a little.

Recently, the atmosphere has gradually become tense, both in the steel rolling mill and on the streets.

There are also fewer chess stalls on the street, and when neighbors say hello, they are not as talkative and loud as before.

"Master, it's getting cold. Isn't it time to turn on the stove in the house?"

Unable to drive Yi Xiaoqing away, Old Liu from the manufacturing office also came to the courtyard early in the morning.

It's the time to set up the stove again. After a while, it will be time to pull back the coal.

"It's a coincidence that you came here. Two days ago, I was planning to build a coal shed in the courtyard."

Looking at the happy-looking Old Liu of the Manufacturing Office, Chen Jisheng calmed down and talked about his thoughts of the previous two days.

The disadvantages of living in an upside-down house also became apparent at this time.

Compared with the main room, the back room is particularly cold. If the eldest sister was at home, Chen Jisheng would have put on the stove long ago.

"I came here on a whim, you are the first one.

My dear, if there is an empty room in the building, put the coal there.

If it is left in the yard, it cannot be cleaned in a year or two. The ground will be dark all year round, which is not good-looking.

Do you want a fireplace or an iron stove?

There is no shortage of coal in your house, and I think the tin stove is better.

But you have to go to the trust store to make a purchase. "

After listening to what Lao Liu said, I knew that this person had good intentions.

But the fireplace is not necessary, it will be troublesome later.

Chen Jisheng had never seen the iron stove that Old Liu mentioned, so he simply followed Old Liu to the trust store in Beixinqiao.

When he arrived at the place and saw the iron stove, Chen Jisheng frowned a little.

The furnace is definitely warm, but the Western style is still a bit eye-catching.

"Master, are you not to your liking?"

"garish!"

"I understand, just please do it!"

Lao Liu is very familiar with Beixinqiao Trust Store.

I asked someone about it and soon found several plain iron stoves.

Not only Chen Jisheng likes to keep a low profile, many people have the same idea.

After buying a stove at the trust store, Chen Jisheng didn't find the director, Lao Liu.

Compared to Old Liu from the Manufacturing Office, Old Liu from Beixinqiao is still superior.

Naturally, coal is also Lao Ma's business. Once he calls, there will naturally be a special delivery service from the coal store.

Coal is also rationed. Like Chen Jisheng, who has one stove for each house, he is also a rich man.

With Lao Liu from the manufacturing office here, the rich man naturally had a cover, and used more than twenty chimneys.

The kitchen, the living room, and the main room all have only three chimneys facing outward.

Chen Jisheng tidied up his home, and good news came from the steel rolling mill.

Feedback from the first batch of handrails reached the factory, and the response was very good. It was logical to further expand the production line.
