"Brother Meng Han, you're really good to me.”
As Qin Huairu spoke, she passed a bowl, chopsticks, and wine glass to Meng Han and placed the dishes in front of him.
This made the aunties who had been peeking outside suffer a critical blow. This freeloader became a VIP. Even the good dishes were placed in front of him and they even praised him.
Meng Han had deceived Uncle Ho's family. Other than He Yushui, who had not returned, the rest of the family had declined.
Immediately, this matter spread in the courtyard again. Many curious people ran to the middle court to take a look. They felt that this matter was new.
"Silly Zhu, when will Uncle Ho be back? He's almost full from drinking.”
Meng Han came to freeload, but Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu had to wait for He Daqing to return.
In order to ensure that Silly Zhu and Qin Huiru could get married smoothly next weekend, He Daqing went to buy some noodles the moment he got off work. This department store was not far, but it would take a long time to make a round trip.
Meng Han had waited so long for this. He had been sitting there for so long, but he had not even had a bite of the food. He felt really uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Meng Han suddenly realized that it was only 1955. Food stamps had just been implemented, and he had not heard of industrial stamps yet. Uh, but it would be soon.
No, I have to buy a bicycle tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll have to use a ticket to buy a bicycle later. I have to arrange for a ride first. I'll arrange for an iron lump first, and then I'll arrange for a meat one.
Moreover, he couldn't tell anyone that the first bicycle in the yard had to belong to his family. If anyone else wanted to buy it, they had to use a ticket.
"Meng Han, why did you come to my house?”
He Daqing carried a bag of noodles and a small bag of white flour back. He had borrowed all the noodles he could to buy so many. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Silly Zhu to organize the banquet.
"Of course I'm waiting for you to come back for dinner. Old He, hurry up, the dishes are getting cold.”He Daqing had no choice but to sit down.
After the meal, Meng Han walked out of the He family's door to the middle court for a walk. He happened to see Jia Dongxu going out to wash the vegetables sadly.
"Brother Dongxu, you still have to come home to cook for yourself after work.”
"Meng Han, do you think that everyone is as thick-skinned as you?”
Jia Dongxu was furious. His mother was really too lazy. When he came back from work, he still had to cook for his mother. Seeing the silly Qin Huiru heating up the bed, he was fuming.
"Aiyo, Brother Dongxu is so pitiful. After working for a day, he doesn't even get to eat when he comes back from work.”
Meng Han walked over and made sarcastic remarks. When he saw Jia Dongxu washing another cabbage, his expression changed. Tsk tsk, how pitiful.
The way he looked at him made Jia Dongxu even angrier. He ran home and shouted for Jia Zhangshi to cook.
"Mom, I've been working in the factory all day. Hurry up and cook. I'm so hungry that I can't move.”
"Dongxu, Mom is hungry too. She doesn't even have the strength to get up.”Jia Zhang-shi lay on the brick bed as if she had no bones.
She felt that she couldn't set a precedent. Otherwise, she would have to cook every night in the future. She hadn't cooked for a few years. How could she do such hard work?
...
At night, Meng Han really couldn't fall asleep. He went outside to light a cigarette and look at the night sky. He also went to check if Silly Zhu's movements were as strong as the aunties said.
Not long after, they arrived at the middle court. Heh, the creaking sounds were quite rhythmic and did not stop.
Silly Zhu had learned his lesson. He was working so hard that his body would be emptied. He was thinking if he should sell some wolfberries to Silly Zhu at a high price.
Suddenly, Meng Han noticed Xu Damao in the corner.
It was not that Xu Damao did not want to sleep, but he was shocked by Silly Zhu yesterday. Wasn't this matter resolved in a minute? Why did Silly Zhu take so long?
However, he was certain that this was not Qin Huairu's problem. Back when Jia Dongxu got married, he had heard of the time limit and counted it. There were twenty-one seconds.
If that wasn't Qin Huairu's problem, then it could only be Silly Zhu's problem.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Suddenly, a clicking sound came from the side, scaring Xu Damao. Xu Damao turned his head and called out in a low voice,"Meng Han, what are you doing in the middle court?”
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. What are you doing in the middle court?”
Although Meng Han said that, he stared blankly at the door of the Jia family's house. Jia Dongxu was sitting on the threshold, covering his face and crying. He Daqing was sitting at the door of the He family's house, smoking. He suddenly felt that the night in the middle court was too lively.
"I couldn't sleep either, so I came out for a walk.”
Xu Damao wasn't that thick-skinned. He couldn't say that he was here to eavesdrop.
Meng Han did not argue with him. Instead, he prepared to return to the backyard. After all, the creaking sound was really unpleasant to hear.
"I can't listen to this anymore. This idiot should at least let Qin Huiru catch her breath.”He deliberately passed by the Jia family's door and said loudly.
Jia Dongxu, who was covering his face and crying, choked on his saliva when he heard this. He coughed for a while before he recovered. When he raised his head to argue with Meng Han, he was already out of sight.
" Sob, sob, sob,
Jia Dongxu pounded his chest and stamped his feet. He clenched his fists and ran back into the house. He pulled the blanket over his head and started crying.
He Daqing looked at Meng Han with a complicated expression. This kid was really wicked. He had been bullying Jia Dongxu for the past few days. Even Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to go to his house to cause trouble.
"Sigh, just bear with it for a while longer!"
He Daqing sighed. Silly Zhu's voice really annoyed him. He could only take out another cigarette and light it. He thought of the widows and could not help but secretly laugh.
For a moment, only He Daqing, who was at the entrance, and Xu Damao, who was in the corner, were left in the middle of the courtyard.
Xu Damao didn't go back. He squatted in the corner and counted the time for Shazhu. The more he counted, the angrier he became. After a while, he ran home to sleep with a bitter face.
As for whether he could sleep or not, who knew?
......
The next day, around 11 o'clock, the sky was bright.
"Morning, Second Aunt."
Meng Han got up to wash his face and brush his teeth. He happened to meet the second aunt who had gone out to wash the steamed cloth.
"Meng Han, it's still early. It's already noon.”
The second aunt was holding the rack and cloth for steaming the cornbread in the pot. She was preparing to wash the steamed cornbread at the sink.
"Yo, it's already so little."
Meng Han washed up and prepared to go straight to Silly Zhu's house for dinner. Seeing that Silly Zhu and the others were eating fried cabbage again, and today it was only two noodles, he immediately lost his appetite.
Since he was going to buy a bicycle today, he decided to eat out. After all, he only had this much money. He couldn't save much money by skipping a meal.
Moreover, once he pushed the cart back, everyone in the quad would know that he was poor. In the future, everyone in the quad would have to help him.
"Meng Han, are you going out? Aren't you going to sleep today?"
Third Uncle carried Yan Jiedi. He was a teacher in the school. The primary school ended early, so he ran back early for lunch to save money.
"Third Master, look at what you're saying. I'm a proper buyer. I have to go to the countryside to buy some things. How can I sleep all day long?”
When Meng Han said this, he immediately felt that he was being arrogant. In this era, going out to work was an honor.
"Bah, you have no conscience!"
After they were far away, Third Aunt came out from the kitchen with pickles and cornbread and cursed.
It was already noon, and he was still going to the countryside to purchase. He must be lying. The bus to the surrounding villages would only leave at two in the afternoon. If he went there today, Meng Han would not be able to come back at night.
After lunch, Third Aunt told everyone about this matter, causing the aunties to denounce him. One by one, they said that this lazy man's behavior was going to ruin the atmosphere in the courtyard and that there was a bad guy among the crowd.
