Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 1139: One Wild Vegetable, Three Flavors
Even though Tian Ya was ignorant, she had seen many ruffians and hooligans.

For example, those people who often come to her auto repair shop recently, just by looking at the way they walk, Tian Ya knows that those people are no different from those second-rate thieves in the countryside.

She must be afraid of this.

She was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would go astray and make mistakes, thus ruining her life that had finally settled down.

She wanted to give Yi Zhonghai some advice, but she was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would be suspicious and have something against her.

To put it bluntly, she couldn't be sure and was a little timid.

Ordinary people always have that kind of lucky mentality.

So I could only hide this worry deep in my heart and live with my eyelids twitching every day.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai also has this kind of panic.

Tian Ya still didn't understand, but Yi Zhonghai knew very well what he had been doing during this period of time.

~Selling stolen goods.

In this day and age, if something like this were reported to the police station, his life would be over.

But once you get on the pirate ship, it is not easy to get off.

He could only instruct those thugs to do things more covertly.

Of course, that kind of concealment can be hidden from others, but it cannot be hidden from his wife who goes out with him every day.

Tian Ya picked the purslane, cleaned it, and then blanched it in boiling water. Then she mixed it with oil, salt, vinegar and MSG.

This is just for fun, and only the Yi family has the conditions to cook it in such a delicate way.

For example, the He family also picked a lot today, but He Yuzhu blanched them, added meat stuffing, adjusted the taste, and made dumplings.

He Yuzhu also had some cold dishes and had a drink with his brother-in-law.

Paired with chili oil and other things, the two pregnant women in the He family were drooling with envy.

There is no way, you can only look but not eat.

Wild vegetables like these are cold in nature and should not be eaten by pregnant women.

The Jia family, on the other hand, was simple and crude. They simply washed the wild vegetables and cooked them into porridge, using them as their staple food.

The three families have three different ways of eating, which represents their living standards.

This also shows that the living standard in Beijing at that time was much higher than that in other places.

There is a saying among many old people: Wild vegetables are half a year's food.

In fact, most ordinary people have the same living standard as Qin Huairu's family.

Qin Huairu has a job, although she has been on standby due to various problems, but her basic living needs must still be guaranteed by the steel mill and the street.

For example, Qin Huairu's current basic salary is only 12.5 yuan.

Although this amount of money is small, if the family lives a tight life and takes on some manual work to supplement the family income, they can still survive.

The biggest problem for the Jia family is still the debts they owed in the past and other expenses.

In this regard, the money that Qin Huairu owed Fatty and the fine that Banggeng paid for stealing things in the past had actually been compensated by the steel rolling mill on her behalf.

Originally, a few yuan was deducted from Qin Huairu's salary every month, but when the Bang Geng incident happened, Qin Huairu went to the factory to cry and complain.

Although I didn't borrow money from the factory, I temporarily stopped the deductions for compensation.

This is the advantage of a collective factory. As long as Qin Huairu is a member of this factory, it doesn’t matter what problems she has.

But the factory will always let her live and will not watch the Jia family starve to death.

As for the deductions, as long as Qin Huairu is in the factory, the debt will not be repaid even if it takes more than ten or twenty years. However, the Jia family will definitely have to go through a long period of hard times.

The soup was clear and light, mainly green wild vegetables, with a few grains of rice occasionally rolling onto the surface of the pot. Two slightly dark-colored multi-grain steamed buns were split in the middle by Qin Huairu, giving each of the four members of the family half a bun.

This is the Jia family’s dinner.

In the yellow light, Jia Zhang glanced at the porridge without a trace of oil. Although she was very hungry, she had no appetite at all.

During this period, Jia Zhang also lost a lot of weight.

People always gain or lose weight due to oil and water.

The kind of puffy fat caused by hunger is completely different from natural weight gain.

So it can be imagined that Jia Zhang had never lacked money in her previous life.

Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu again, and seeing that her face was as gloomy as water, she did not dare to say anything else.

If you want to be arrogant and domineering, you must have the capital.

Now, Qin Huairu might have to suppress her anger and speak nicely to others for the sake of survival.

But when facing Jia Zhang, there is only one spark missing.

Jia Zhang believed that as long as she could find an excuse for Qin Huairu in some matter, Qin Huairu would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble and might even drive her out of the Jia family.

So during this period of time, Jia Zhang really didn't dare to offend Qin Huairu, and even the manual work of making matches, Jia Zhang worked seriously all day long.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, the Jia family has become like this, and Qin Huairu has lost everything. She has nothing to fear anymore.

The four members of the Jia family ate their dinner in silence, except for the little girl Huaihua, who was a little ignorant. She cried and retched while eating.

Qin Huairu glared at her and Huaihua immediately shut up.

I could only suppress my nausea and stuff the bowl of green goo into my mouth.

At this time, although the lights in the Yi family were still dim, the dishes prepared by Tian Ya, with the blending of oil, sparkled with appetizing colors.

Yi Zhonghai picked up a small portion of the golden fried eggs with his chopsticks and put it directly into the bowl of the yellow-haired girl Cao'er.

Cao'er was a little timid, and wanted to shrink back with the big bowl in her hand, but she resisted the urge to do so, and timidly said to Yi Zhonghai, "Thank you, Dad."

The first thank you is normal speech, but the following address is inevitably in a lower tone.

In fact, grass is also quite strange.

When her stepfather is nice to her, he is really nice to her and is willing to give her everything.

But when he became cold, that look alone made Cao'er feel like she was walking on thin ice.

It feels like Yi Zhonghai sometimes looks at her like a dog on the street, without any warmth at all.

Therefore, in the past few years, Yi Zhonghai's capriciousness has confused the little girl Cao'er. She doesn't know what attitude she should take to deal with Yi Zhonghai.

"Boss, I heard that Liu Haizhong in the backyard asked his third son to become an apprentice to Old Zhang, who repairs bicycles at the entrance of the alley." Tian Ya's words still had a tentative tone.

In fact, Tian Ya didn't want to object to Liu Haizhong's idea of ​​letting Liu Guangfu and Yi Zhonghai learn car repair later.

It is originally a mixed matter. For now, if the Yi family can make friends with the Liu family, it will be beneficial to the Yi family's status in the alley.

Apart from anything else, if the Yi family encounters any problems, the wealthy Liu family will really help.

As for Yi Zhonghai, this matter should be a hundred benefits with no harm.

So Tian Ya didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai would rather turn against Liu Haizhong than accept Liu Guangfu as his apprentice.
