The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 1562 Life is so good
Time slowly came to the weekend.

The weather is clear, the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly.

The early morning in Hongxing Community is bustling.

Early in the morning, the children began to play in the green courtyard of the community. A dozen children chased the iron rings rolling on the ground. The jingling sound startled the pastor who was walking on the clothesline.

The shuttlecock covered with rooster feathers kept tumbling in the air. In the sunlight, the feathers looked colorful. Also flying were the girls' pigtails tied with red hairbands.

On the cement floor of the house painted with chalk, plastic sandals crushed the shadows of the paulownia flowers, and the chickens raised in the yard tried to peck at the noise outside the door through the iron fence.

Sandbags the size of cigarette boxes were thrown from the hands of the children on this side to the other side. The children were laughing and the sand made a rustling sound when they rubbed against each other. Those standing in the middle listened to the sound and dodged the attack of the sandbags.

The retired elderly people also gathered together, carrying small stools, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans to drive away flying mosquitoes and chat about gossip.

Although supplies are relatively scarce, there is frequent interaction between neighbors in the community, and this scene is filled with something called human touch.

Starting around six o'clock, the cast iron water pipes drilled from the ground began to vibrate at a frequency.

Community workers began to collect water from the public faucet. The enamel basin hit the gap in the edge of the cement pool, waking up the tabby cat that was napping on the courtyard wall.

As the sunlight moved over the rooftops, water began to drip from the work clothes on the clotheslines. Aunties with baskets slung over their wrists hurried to the grocery stores and grain stores in the suburbs.

The scene of thriving vitality and flourishing of all things is still before our eyes~!

“Crash, clatter~!”

In the yard on the first floor, the rabbit heard the sound of clothes being swung and jumped around restlessly in the cage. It had no interest in the shriveled leaves that were fed to it.

Qin Huairu wiped the sweat from her forehead. The large basin at her feet was full of clothes that she had washed earlier. After wringing them dry and shaking them twice, she casually hung them on the clothesline after they were slightly flat.

Drops of water fell to the ground. Through the bedroom window glass, Jia Zhang, wearing reading glasses, sat on the bed, looking coldly at her daughter-in-law who was working. She used the awl in her hand so hard that she almost poked the sole of her shoe.

"Mom, I want to eat meat buns too~!"

Xiaodang got up early, rubbed his eyes, stood beside the big basin, looked up at his mother, his saliva almost flowing.

"Wait a minute, mom will take you there. Go wash your face first, don't let your grandma know~!"

Qin Huairu, who was working, patted her lower back after hanging the clothesline full of clothes, glanced at her mother-in-law in the bedroom, and said in a low voice.

It is impossible for her to cook. Her mother-in-law doesn't feel sorry for her because of the miscarriage, so why should she go out of her way to cook for her mother-in-law? The family has money now, and they won't even let her cook when they go out to eat.

Xiaodang, who had been a little nervous at first, suddenly had light in his eyes when he confirmed that his mother would take him out to eat meat buns. He nodded vigorously and immediately ran into the house.

Qin Huairu wiped the sweat from her cheeks, picked up the large basin on the ground, and poured the dirty water directly into the drain on the ground. She simply leaned the basin against the wall. After working hard for so many years, it was time to enjoy herself.

Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua all got up tacitly at this time. None of them slept in. They looked so happy that Jia Zhang in the room was a little confused about the changes in her daughter-in-law.

He quickly took out a few banknotes and tickets from where he hid his money and stuffed them into his pocket. He also found a small notebook under the pillow. After opening it, he saw some crooked numbers on it, which recorded something, and stuffed them into his pocket as well.

After finishing the cleaning, Qin Huairu took the three children out without saying goodbye.

"Here you go, get better!"

Jiang Dehua, who had a basket on his wrist and a small shovel in his hand, was just going out to dig some wild vegetables. When he saw Qin Huairu, who was holding the third child and taking the eldest and second child out, he greeted her.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm leaving now~!"

Qin Huairu never pursued the incident of being pushed by Jiang Dehua. She was even a little afraid of Jiang Defu, who had returned from the Jiang family next door. She nodded hurriedly and left.

In the past, Qin Huairu had to walk to get around. This time, she went straight to the bus stop after leaving the community. When the bus conductor asked her child to pay for the ticket, she did not bargain and just paid generously.

It feels really different to have money. After buying the ticket, the conductor didn't criticize me at all. I got on the bus and went into the city. It was still Longfu Temple, the place where Banggeng was taken to eat steamed buns last time. When the three children arrived here, they immediately chattered and jumped for joy. The fragrance of the breakfast shop was so strong that it penetrated their noses from a distance.

In the past, Qin Huairu would never be willing to come to such a place for breakfast, let alone bring her children here to eat. But today was different. Not only was there a bowl of fried liver for each person, but there were also steamed buns, fried dough sticks and sesame cakes. Qin Huairu asked for them and got them, which seemed like a bit of revenge consumption.

Looking at her three children eating and drinking with hearty mouthfuls, the mother couldn't help but touch Huaihua's head. If there was one person who had never enjoyed happiness the least, it would be the youngest in the family.

When Dongxu was alive, he would at least take the two children to the market during the New Year and taste some local food. After Dongxu passed away, the family became financially strapped, and they wouldn't even go to the supply and marketing cooperative, let alone the market.

Banggeng showed off the taste of the meat buns to Xiaodang, and Xiaodang's eyes began to turn green. He held the bun in one hand and the sesame cake in the other. He didn't even mind the hotness of the fried liver that had just been served to the table, which showed what it means to have big eyes and a small stomach, just afraid of not being full.

"Eat slowly, it's okay. If you're not full, mom will call you later~!"

Qin Huairu wiped the corners of her eyes. She didn't know why, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't help feeling sad. As a mother, her children had never enjoyed a single day of happiness.

At the beginning, I was thinking about saving money. I couldn't afford to buy clothes and I had to eat reluctantly. I saved money and changed the house, but the children's food was in debt.

"Mom, wait a minute, can you take me to buy a hairband? The one on my head is almost broken~!"

Today, Xiaodang clearly felt that his mother was very different from before. Her mouth was stuffed with things and she did not forget to touch the faded hairband on her head.

"Okay, let's eat first. After we're done, I'll take you to the department store today. I'll buy you whatever you want~!"

With one thousand yuan in her hand, Qin Huairu was not in a hurry to find Sha Zhu to get back the more than two hundred yuan. This money was too hot to handle, and Qin Huairu just wanted to spend it as soon as possible.

After hearing what their mother said, the two older ones ate even more enthusiastically, and Banggeng looked even more proud. This is how life should be. If it weren’t for that strange uncle, wouldn’t our family be able to live such a good life?

Thinking of the strange uncle, Banggeng subconsciously looked towards the place where he sat last time, and as a result, he seemed to have really seen it.

After rubbing his eyes, Bang Geng made sure that he was not seeing things. He indeed saw the strange uncle nodding at him.

Banggeng subconsciously tugged at his mother's sleeve, his face full of excitement. He even stopped eating his favorite meat buns. Banggeng knew that he wanted to be full after meal.

Qin Huairu looked in the direction of Banggeng's finger. When she saw the figure, the smile on her face gradually faded. Even Banggeng didn't notice the change in his mother's expression.

"Great! Take your sister out for dinner~!"

Qin Huairu took a deep breath, a look of helplessness and sadness in her eyes, and forced a smile. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, her fingers still trembled when this moment really came.

After changing the table, Qin Huairu lowered her head, the smile on her face was very stiff, and sat at the next table. She didn't even know when this man appeared.

"This week's production is inside. I don't know about the night shift, but it should be about the same as ours. I didn't hear anything inside the institute. I leaned over while they were eating, and they stopped talking~!"

He took out a small notebook from his pocket tremblingly and Qin Huairu handed it to him cryptically.

The man took the notebook, as if he had heard what Qin Huairu said clearly. He roughly flipped through the contents of the notebook and quietly put it into his inner pocket.

Qin Huairu thought she had completed her mission, so she stood up and went back to her seat, picking up the vinegar bottle on the table as if she was going to borrow seasoning from the next table.

"Liu Haizhong has what we need, including the address of the research institute staff~!"

The middle-aged man stood up and wiped his mouth, then gave some instructions to Qin Huairu. Then he casually stuffed something into Qin Huairu's pocket and left.

When Qin Huairu heard Liu Haizhong's name, her body paused. She also felt something extra in her pocket. She hurried to her seat with the vinegar bottle in her hand, and watched the man leave with a dazed look on her face.

Returning to her seat and pouring vinegar on her buns, Qin Huairu quickly touched her pocket when no one was paying attention. There was something more inside, which felt like...

money……
