In the middle court, the Jia family and the Deaf Old Lady's house were the closest to He Yuzhu's house.
Every day, He Yuzhu cooked delicious meat.
He Yuzhu didn't even close the door when cooking. The fragrance wafted all over the courtyard. Some families were waiting for He Yuzhu's family to cook.
He took a whiff of the fragrance and took a bite of the cornbread, treating it as if he had eaten with the fragrance.
Now, no one dared to say that He Yuzhu stole from the canteen.
He had a big backer. The things that Chief Dong's family gave him were huge boxes.
Every day, He Yuzhu would send a portion of the cooked food to the Deaf Old Lady.
The deaf old lady and the Jia family lived opposite.
Qin Huairu was in confinement, so the doors and windows were tightly shut. She could not see what He Yuzhu was carrying, but every day when he carried the dishes to the courtyard, he would act as if he was doing it on purpose."Old lady, let's eat braised swordfish today…Old Madam, the bacon fried rice you ordered is here…"
The fragrance and sound could not be suppressed.
Qin Huairu swallowed her saliva as she looked at the pickled vegetables and the thin porridge in front of her.
"Sigh, don't listen to me. I put three drops of sesame oil in this pickled vegetable. I can't even bear to eat it. Just eat it. Sesame oil can be used for milk. Look at you as a mother.”
Jia Zhang-shi complained.
"Mom, I'll go and sell our wooden cabinet tomorrow and see if I can buy an old hen. Huai Ru can't produce milk without oil.”Jia Dongxu said anxiously.
"Sigh, other than that carved cabinet, there's nothing else at home. That's my dowry. If it weren't for my grandson, I wouldn't have been able to bear it. When I gave birth to you, my living conditions weren't as good as they are now, but I still had milk and even fed you until you were very fat. What was wrong with Huai Ru? She had already eaten all the fine grains at home and still didn't have milk?”
Jia Zhang-shi started nagging and complaining again.
Qin Huairu listened to their conversation and felt aggrieved.
If it wasn't for the premature birth, she wouldn't have run out of milk. Also, even after she got pregnant, Jia Zhangshi still gave Jia Dongxu all the nutritious food in the house.
In Jia Zhangshi's words: " Dongxu is a man, the head of the family. He earns money to support the family, so he should eat the best!”
Now, if it wasn't for the fact that she had given birth to a grandson for the Jia family, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to eat salted vegetables with sesame oil.
The next day, Jia Dongxu carried the big cabinet out of the house before dawn.
However, he didn't come back until it was dark.
The cabinet was gone, but the person in her hand was not an old hen, but a carp that was a little longer than a palm.
"Dongxu, why are you only back now?" As soon as they entered the door, Jia Zhang-shi went up to greet them.
Seeing that her son only had a carp in his hand, she couldn't help but look behind him.
"There's no need to look, Mom. It's just this fish. Make some soup for Huai Ru." Jia Dongxu said with a sad face.
"Such a big cabinet for this fish?”Jia Zhangshi asked incredulously with her eyes wide open.
"Sigh! Don't mention it. I've been to a few places, but other than the expensive food, nothing else is worth much. There was an old man who used a beautiful jade bracelet to exchange for ten catties of rice. He said that the bracelet was Hetian jade, a treasure passed down in their family. The family really couldn't afford it. I was just a small cadre, and he said that this cabinet was an old thing, but he could only use the fish he just bought to exchange for it. I didn't even have the strength to carry it back, so I agreed to change.”
"Son, you haven't eaten lunch yet, right? Hurry up and drink this bowl of porridge first. Mom will go cook now. This fish soup is for Huai Ru, and I'll fish the fish out for you.”
He watched Jia Dongxu eat the porridge before he picked up the fish and went to cook.
The porridge that Jia Dongxu had just eaten was Qin Huairu's dinner. In Jia Zhangshi's eyes, her son was always the closest.
She cleaned up the fish, put in a big bowl of water, put the fish in, and put in two pieces of dried onions.
In a while, a big pot of soup was cooked, and it was really just soup. Because the fish had been fished out by Jia Zhangshi, she added salt and seasonings and remade it. She hid it in the kitchen and covered it with a bowl, preparing to eat it with her son later.
In the innermost bedroom, Qin Huairu was starving.
Logically speaking, there should be at least a big bowl of porridge to drink at night, but her mother-in-law never sent it over.
Just now, she heard Jia Dongxu's voice in the outer room.
However, Jia Dongxu came in after a long time and told him that he couldn't buy an old hen. He only had a fish and would have fish soup to drink in a while.
Although there was no chicken to eat, it was good enough to have fish.
It had been a long time since he had seen any blood. Qin Huiru felt that she was about to dry up.
Alright, a good meal is not afraid of being late. I'll endure it a little longer.
Finally, she heard Jia Zhangshi's footsteps. The curtain was lifted, and Jia Zhangshi was holding a steaming bowl in her hand.
"Huai Ru, drink it while it's hot. This is fish soup. Fish soup is the best for milk."
Qin Huairu immediately sat up and reached out to take the big bowl.
There were a few green onion leaves floating on the big bowl of slightly white soup, and there seemed to be some oil stars on it.
Qin Huairu immediately moved her mouth to the bowl and took a big gulp.
"Wow!" Then, she vomited again.
