The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

“Click, click, click~!”

The pedal of the sewing machine moved up and down rapidly, driving the rotating disc to rotate so rapidly that only its shadow could be seen.

The steel wire rope on the disc is connected to the inside of the sewing machine, driving the needle in the machine head to poke into the collar laid on the board.

The stitches are fine and dense, and as the collar is slowly pushed forward, the prototype of a finished garment slowly emerges.

Just because Qin Huairu is not good at her job in the factory doesn’t mean she is not good at making clothes. Ready-made clothes in department stores are expensive, and in order to prevent middlemen from making a profit, her skills have been forced out.

"Come on, Bang Geng, try it~!"

A new shirt was made. Qin Huairu dragged Bang Geng to the sewing machine and put the new clothes on him.

"Mom, the clothes you made are so beautiful. Xiaodang also wants to wear new clothes~!"

The second daughter, Jia Dang, was also a smart girl. Her mouth was as sweet as honey. When she saw her brother wearing new clothes, her little eyes were full of thoughts.

As the saying goes, you can tell a child's future at the age of three and his character at the age of seven. If Jia Geng still looks a bit like Jia Dongxu, then Jia Dang has truly inherited Qin Huairu's personality.

"Wait, mom will alter your brother's clothes and make them smaller for you~!"

Cloth coupons are hard to come by, Qin Huairu touched Xiaodang's head and said with a smile.

But when he looked at his brother's clothes, Xiaodang felt a little reluctant, his mouth pouted so much that a gourd ladle could be hung on it. His brother usually wore out his clothes very much, they were inevitably patched up due to the hard work he did.

If I make it smaller and give it to her, she will have no new clothes to wear this year.

"Every year you wear old clothes, I'll wear new ones~!"

Xiaodang became unhappy after glancing at his happy brother with snot bubbles in his nose. Xiao Huihui in the front yard had so many new clothes, and they were all beautiful. She wore a different one every day.

As a girl, she has to wear clothes that are made smaller by her brother. Even at such a young age, she already has self-esteem.

"Then what can we do? Mom also gets paid to buy cloth coupons, and there are only so many of them. We won't compare with other families. I'll embroider a little flower on your clothes later~!"

Looking outside the door, Sha Zhu saw a few sets of old clothes on Liu Lan's children, which he got from somewhere. Although they were a little old, they were better than those worn by his own three children.

This was also due to her self-esteem as a mother. Now that the family's food had improved and there were more cloth coupons, she could only make one set for the eldest child.

The clothes that the eldest child can’t wear are given to the second child, and the second child’s clothes are given to the third child. Isn’t this how every family lives?

"Hey, put on new clothes, I have new clothes~!"

After buttoning up his shirt and putting it on, Bang Geng couldn't wait to run out the door. He had to show off. Usually, people could only wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year.

The eldest son was happy, but the second son was unhappy. Qin Huairu had no choice as the family was only given so many cloth coupons, unless she asked Cui Dake to get some more.

"Hey, look, here's the red hairband that Mom bought for you. I'll braid your hair into a pretty braid tomorrow~!"

Qin Huairu knew that her second child was more difficult to coax than the heartless eldest child. Fortunately, she was prepared. She opened the small drawer next to the sewing machine and comforted her second child by pinching the red hairband.

"Mom, mom, the rabbit ran away, the rabbit ran away~!"

Bang Geng, who had just run out to show off his new clothes, ran back in panic after just a short while.

Qin Huairu, who was originally sitting on a stool, suddenly changed her expression when she heard this. She quickly stood up and rushed out of the house.

Our family is not short of money now, and we have food too, but we still keep rabbits. They can provide us with one or two dollars a month.

The bamboo fence in front of the kitchen window was lifted to the side. Three rabbits broke free from the fence and ran around in the yard. One even jumped onto the steps.

Looking at the two children standing by the fence, Qin Huairu became furious and shouted loudly towards He Yuzhu's main house.

"Liu Lan, can you please come out and take care of your child? I ran away all the rabbits~!"

We have been raising rabbits at home for several years. Apart from feeding the rabbits, the three children in the family will not touch the rabbit nests. Only Liu Lan's children can do this.

“Go, go, go~!”

After sending the two mischievous kids aside, Qin Huairu quickly grabbed the rabbit, causing chaos in the central courtyard.

"Who told you to keep rabbits here? This is our home, and it stinks so badly that you really thought we were in the countryside!"

Liu Lan, who was inside the house, walked out of the main house slowly, folded her hands in her arms, leaned against the door frame, spoke in a sarcastic voice, and pretended to fan her nose.

"I've been raising you for several years. How long have you been here? Why are you being so pretentious? If you're not used to it, just go home. Who spoils you?"

After finally catching two of them, the third one had already escaped through the hallway to the front yard. Qin Huairu was a little angry. When Liu Lan confronted her, she confronted him back.

Hearing that his mother was not polite at all, and the other party did not apologize, Bang Geng clenched his fists and looked at the two children of Liu Lan's family with hatred. It was them who did it. "My coming or not has nothing to do with certain people. Oh, yes, when I'm not here, you can borrow money from Sha Zhu. You borrowed and didn't pay it back. You really have the nerve to lend it. Only people from the countryside can do such a thing~!"

The two quarreled across the air, and Liu Lan was not a pushover. She apologized, but there was no need to apologize at all. The rabbit ran away, and she was not in a hurry anyway. Sha Zhu borrowed so much money, and Liu Lan knew that she could not get it back. The rabbit ran away, so she could use Qin Huairu's old debt to pay it off~!

Love whoever you want, Liu Lan won’t spoil them anyway.

He Yuzhu hurt her time and time again. What was Liu Lan's purpose in entering this courtyard? Was it love? Was she coming for Sha Zhu? Anyone who thought about it carefully would know that she was coming for Qin Huairu.

Liu Lan's indirect criticism really made Qin Huairu furious. She knew that Liu Lan was difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect him to be this difficult.

"You're talking nonsense! That was something Shazhu was willing to give~!"

Banggeng was angry. He thought the woman in Shazhu's family was so bad. He used to go to Shazhu's house to get his peanuts, and Shazhu would give them to him voluntarily and even praised him for taking care of his younger brothers and sisters.

"Humph, an ungrateful child will only be an ungrateful child. Even if you give him so many things, which sensible child won't call me uncle? Oh, there's nothing you can do~!"

"Xiao Feng, what are you calling Zhuzi?"

Liu Lan, who was shaving her fingernails and leaning against the door frame, began to ask about her own children. She was making a deliberate comparison.

"Uncle Zhu~!"

The eldest son of the Liu Lan family was called Uncle Zhu, which made He Daqing in the old Yi family couldn't help but nod his head.

The two women argued all day long, and he just watched for fun, not participating, not interfering, and not trying to stop them. However, in comparison, Liu Lan's child was indeed sensible, and it was comforting to listen to him.

As for whether it was his mother who taught him, Qin Huairu couldn’t teach him even if she wanted to~!

"Xiao Fei, what about you? Where did you get those clothes?"

Glancing at the new clothes on Banggeng, Liu Lan was making a comparison on purpose. Since she couldn't kill him, she would just kill him. The child didn't come to this yard very often, so she wanted to let the neighbors see who was better at taking care of a child as they were both widows.

"Uncle Zhuzi gave it to me. He, he went to the big boss's house to cook, and the big boss gave him clothes he didn't want anymore, so he brought them back for us to wear~!"

The second child was also very sensible. He spoke a little hurriedly, but people could still hear him clearly. The people living on both sides of the hall couldn't help but nod when they heard him.

At least, the two brought over by Liu Lan's family were like that. Compared with Jia Geng who was brought up by Qin Huairu, the difference is obvious.

It was too difficult to deal with. Qin Huairu didn't even try to catch the rabbit. She pinched her palm with her fingernails. Liu Lan was hitting her weak spot and she had no power to resist.

"Who are you calling an ungrateful person, Liu Lan?"

"I didn't say anything about anyone, so don't take it personally. Everyone knows that Qin Huairu must pay back the money she borrows. The rabbits she raises are pretty fat, but the child... Hey~!"

The sound of sighing, coupled with the artificial words, was so intonation--everyone could hear the laughter from inside Lao Zhao's house through the window. As for why, one could hear it through the window.

Because the rabbit nest Qin Huairu kept was right behind his window, making her a complete victim of the rabbit nest.

If they hadn't been neighbors for many years and hadn't seen each other every day, and if they hadn't been concerned about their reputation, they would probably have applauded Liu Lan.

"You~!"

Qin Huairu was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Liu Lan's sarcastic tone was directed at her and her child. She had no excuse to fight back, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"I always like to speak the truth. If anyone is hurt, it's their fault. So what if I'm hooking up with a cadre? Life is the same for everyone. If you're not destined to be rich, don't be pretentious~!"

"Alright, alright, Liu Lan, stop talking, I heard everything in the backyard. And you, Qin Huairu, take care of your rabbit~!"

The round was over, and Liu Haizhong, with his big round belly, came out from the moon gate to calm things down. He didn't allow the two people to continue arguing, otherwise they would have to fight.

Following behind him was Qin Jingru, who was holding a bowl and watching the fun. If we talk about the family members of cadres, she can be considered as one now, and Ma Hua has been promoted.

Although the salary is low, at least it’s not my third marriage.

In order to raise funds for a family house, her sister did whatever it took and found another man. Even she heard about it.

How should I put it? Although they are relatives, this matter is indeed not something that can be made public. No one wants to have three brothers-in-law. Her sister is too troublesome.

In the front yard, Li Feng moved a small stool and was feeding his daughter. When the little girl saw the white rabbit, her eyes widened and she had no appetite at all.

Li Feng was staring with his eyes wide open, not allowing the child to touch the rabbit, otherwise, he would not be able to feed the child tonight.

At the old Yan family next door, Yu Li took a bowl of rice and went back to the back room. Yu Haitang, on the other hand, felt a little upset after the meal.

After eating, he sat under the porch and watched Li Feng curiously feeding the child. The little guy's eyes were on the rabbit jumping around everywhere.

Yu Haitang's eyes were focused on Director Li, and he was thinking about something. (End of this chapter)
