Night, Red Star Courtyard.
Chen Xi's low-key return did not cause too much of a stir in the courtyard.
Of course, if he had chosen to come back as a regiment-level veteran, the entire compound would have been in a huge uproar. By then, there would probably be a lot of people who would come knocking on his door to pull connections and ask for help.
In fact…
Chen Xi was suspicious.
At that time, he would have a bunch of relatives who were unrelated to him and wanted to help him arrange jobs.
The Jia family, who was also in the middle court, had been busy for the entire day. Qin Huairu, who had just returned from the steel mill, effortlessly snatched the lunch box from Shazhu's hands. The relatively sumptuous dishes inside were their family's dinner.
Jia Zhang, stick stem, small locust flower, small when.
The four of them sat around a table.
He waited for Qin Huairu to serve the dishes.
Jia Zhangshi and the stick stick were each given a white steamed bun, while Little Huai Hua and Little Dang were only given half a cornbread.
"Qin Huairu, why are you dawdling? I'm starving!”
Jia Zhangshi said impatiently.
In response, Qin Huairu could only helplessly place the lunch box on the wooden table. She had been working hard for this family, yet her mother-in-law was still whining all day long. It was really annoying.
If it was possible, Qin Huairu would have kicked this old hag away a long time ago.
"Grandma! Grandma! What are we eating today?"
"Yo, chicken and mushroom stew. Today's food is not bad.”After opening the lunch box, Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up. She immediately reached out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in the bowl of the stick." Come, stick, eat more. Only then can you grow."”
The cudgel didn't stand on ceremony and directly started eating."Hehe, thank you, Grandma!"
As for Xiao Huai Hua and Xiao Dang, the two of them stared at the chicken mushroom stew in the lunch box.
Saliva kept dripping from the corner of his mouth, as if he really wanted to eat it.
Half a cornbread.
It was even made from coarse grain. Even if it was distributed to the two little girls, they would not be able to fill their stomachs.
"Grandma! Grandma! I want to eat too!"
"Little Dang wants to eat chicken too."
She saw Grandma giving the delicious food to her brother and not giving it to them.
Xiao Huai Hua and Xiao Dang were immediately dissatisfied. They knocked their chopsticks on the bowl and made a 'protest' sound.
"Two good-for-nothings, what are you eating?”Jia Zhang-shi said unhappily," Besides, using chopsticks to knock on the bowl is the behavior of beggars. You are not allowed to do it in the future, or else I won't give you any food to eat."”
“........”
“........”
After Jia Zhang-shi said that.
The two little girls did not dare to knock on the bowls for a moment.
He had no choice.
In the family, they had the lowest status.
In the eyes of Jia Zhangshi, only boys would be the successors of the Jia family's bloodline in the future. For example, Xiao Huai Hua and Xiao Dang would have to be married off in the future. They were just some 'money-losing goods'. As long as they could barely support themselves, they would be able to get a betrothal gift when they grew up.
"Mom-"
Qin Huairu said.
Even though she was a little biased towards boys.
However, in the end, Xiao Huai Hua and Xiao Dang were still her daughters. Jia Zhangshi's biased attitude was a little too much.
"What? Did I do something wrong?”Jia Zhang-shi ate a piece of chicken and said with a haughty look," It's all because you're too useless as a mother. Otherwise, we would have just eaten a big meal of fish and meat. No one would have to fight for it."”
"Mom, I'm just a first-class fitter. Other than a grandpa with a high salary, who else can eat meat every day?”
A family of five.
Qin Huairu was the only worker.
With a salary of 27.5 yuan a month, if it was just ordinary meals, he definitely wouldn't be hungry. However, the quality of each meal would definitely not be much better.
In addition to the school fees, he had to give Jia Zhang's family three yuan of retirement money every month.
This salary really needed to be spent frugally.
However, the appetites of the stick terrier and Jia Zhangshi were especially big. Furthermore, they had been raised to be picky. They could not eat cornbread and cornflour for every meal. All of them were thinking about fish and meat all day long. Qin Huairu felt a headache. How could her salary be enough to spend so much?
If he didn't catch the 'fish' Silly Pillar, he probably wouldn't be able to use it like this.
"Right, there's something I need to tell you.”
"The Chen kid from the middle court today, the one who enlisted in the army two years ago, seems to have returned from the army today.”
"I saw that he was carrying five catties of pork in his hand and was wearing a thick military coat. He probably has a lot of money in his hands.”
"Look at their family. There's only one man and one woman. They definitely won't be able to use up all the money.”
"It's a waste to keep it."
"Later, go borrow some money and bring back some pork to give my grandson an extra meal to nourish his body.”
