"Wait a moment. When I passed by the department store today, I bought some snacks. Take them back and eat.”
He Yuzhu also felt that he couldn't hug her for free. No matter what, he had to give something up.
In this era, the common people were basically just enough to eat and drink. Many people could only eat noodles to fill their stomachs, not to mention the so-called snacks. Only people like He Yuzhu could afford them.
There was no need to lack melon seeds and peanuts.
What Yu Li craved the most were the big white rabbit and orange candy.
In this day and age, buying candy required candy coupons. Each person only had one to two taels a month, so if one did not have a ticket, they would not be able to buy candy at all. A family that could buy a pound of candy during the New Year was already considered a well-off family.
Ever since she married into the Third Uncle's family, there were only a few peanuts during the New Year. There was no so-called candy at all. Even those peanuts were given by the Third Uncle to moisten the pen. It would be nonsense to expect the Third Uncle to buy them.
"Just take a few more pieces. There are only a few pieces left.”
Yu Li took a piece and retracted her hand. He Yuzhu grabbed a handful without looking at it and put it in Yu Li's pocket.
If it was any other man who did this, Yu Li would probably scold him for being a hooligan. Was this pocket something that other people could casually put in?
However, Yu Li didn't say it out loud. She just thanked him in a low voice and then quickly went back.
When they were about to reach home, Yu Li kept three-quarters of the money and only kept a quarter of it. At this time, she was living a smart life. If she took all of it out, she was afraid that Third Uncle would confiscate it. At that time, she would not have the chance to eat it even if she wanted to.
"I knew it. Zhu Zi is a kind person. As long as you go over and help, you will definitely gain something. Even among the officers of the steel mill, only a small portion of them could afford it.”
At Third Uncle's dining table, Yu Li took out five or six pieces of candy. Third Uncle happily shared a piece with each of them.
Yan Jiecheng, who was beside him, was in excruciating pain. This was something that his wife had brought back. This wife was brainless. Why didn't she know to keep a portion of it first? Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to go back to the house and eat slowly?
"Dad, He Yuzhu said that I should go over to help tomorrow.”
Yan Jiecheng had been helping out at He Yuzhu's house for the past two days. Every meal was three big steamed buns and one dish. The food for the whole family had also improved a lot. Now, if Yu Li went over to help, the family of three would not have to spend anything. They would be able to eat three meals a day.
After hearing this, Third Uncle felt even happier for his wise decision. As for Yan Jiecheng, who was beside him, he was already laughing so hard that he couldn't speak. He could finally eat fresh steamed buns tomorrow and didn't have to eat leftovers.
Seeing Yan Jiecheng's smile, Yu Li really didn't know what to say. You eat other people's steamed buns, and they eat your wife!
When the candy ran out, Third Uncle looked at the time. In order to save electricity at home, as long as there was nothing else to do after dinner, they had to go back to their rooms to get ready for bed.
Today, Third Uncle looked at his watch and everyone was ready to go back to sleep. Otherwise, they would be nagged for a while.
In this era, there weren't many entertainment programs at night. It was better if he had a wife. He could exercise with his wife, but if he didn't have a wife, he might have to open his eyes and let his imagination run wild.
"What are you doing?"
Yan Jiecheng couldn't hold it in any longer as soon as he got into bed. His hands started to move, but Yu Li pinched them before he pulled them back.
"Wife…I want to…"
Looking at the thin and weak Yan Jiecheng beside her and thinking about He Yuzhu's broad arms, Yu Li was not in the mood. Moreover, Yan Jiecheng looked a little like a monkey.
"I'm tired today. Let's talk about it later.”
Yu Li immediately turned around and put away her blanket. Yan Jiecheng thought that his wife was really tired. After all, she had been tidying up for He Yuzhu for a long time.
" Tomorrow will definitely be better. Originally, we could only get six big steamed buns back. Now, we can get nine big steamed buns and three dishes. Dad can't let us eat leftovers."
The husband and wife began to sleep in the same bed. Yan Jiecheng was thinking about tomorrow's good day and could eat good food at any time. Yu Li was thinking about her broad arms.
Seeing that it was almost time, He Yuzhu moved the table back and walked towards Qin Huairu's house.
Earlier, He Yuzhu had clearly seen Qin Huairu carrying the locust flower back. After all, if there were only the two of them, it would be too much gossip. In fact, it was already spreading like wildfire. However, in order to save money, Qin Huairu absolutely could not let He Yuzhu and his sister go to the guest house.
He Yuzhu pushed the door open and found that the lights were off.
Widow Qin wanted to play hard to get?
He Yuzhu had just seen people moving about in the room. It had only been a few minutes, yet Qin Huairu was already able to fall asleep. Furthermore, she was already used to eating He Yuzhu's bento boxes. How could she live on cornbread?
As usual, He Yuzhu did not say a word. He took out three eggs from his pocket and placed them in a bowl.
There was movement…
There was the sound of someone turning over from the other side of the curtain.
He Yuzhu wanted to see how long Qin Huairu could last.
"Sister Qin?"
He Yuzhu called out softly.
"I even brought back three eggs. If I had known that I was going to sleep, I would have eaten them all.”
He Yuzhu said softly and then took off his shoes heavily, meaning that he was going to sleep.
"Zhu Zi is back, right?"
Qin Huairu knew that she could no longer pretend. If she continued to pretend, He Yuzhu might really fall asleep. Her stomach was still growling.
"You're back. I must have woken you up. Then hurry up and rest. I'm also preparing to sleep.”
He Yuzhu laughed after saying that. Didn't you want to act for us? Let's see how you continue acting.
"I'll get you some water. After a tiring day, if he didn't wash his feet, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.”
He Yuzhu remembered that Qin Huiru would always urge Silly Zhu to wash her feet when she was watching television dramas. It seemed that this era was no exception.
Qin Huairu did not even take off her clothes. Instead, she lay on the bed with her clothes on. She sat down and confirmed that she had been pretending just now. At this moment, she swiftly served He Yuzhu some water to wash his feet.
He Yuzhu thought of Jia Zhangshi and the stick meme. If the two of you didn't cause trouble, how could Qin Huairu get him water to wash his feet?
Qin Huairu brought the foot-washing water over, her eyes fixed on the three eggs on the table…
