The water was boiled in the morning and is now warm.
The outer cover of the rattan thermos has not returned to its original color. Even if the inner liner has just been replaced, the thermal insulation effect of the thermos is also much worse.
Nannan pinched the dregs of the fruit like embroidery, and it looked like she could eat it until noon.
Chen Jingnian got up and walked out of the house, took out a broom and dustpan from the barn and swept the front yard inside and out.
The fur and skin were mixed with sugar wrappers, and the gravel was gathered into a pile and swept into the handful.
Even though this thing can't even boil saliva, it can still burn and generate heat, which means it can't be thrown away in vain.
It's not that Chen Jingnian has passed it, but in this era, careful planning has been engraved in everyone's bones. An extra penny saved means less hunger.
People who have never been hungry will never understand the feeling of scratching their heart and liver.
"Axe, your sister is getting married, what benefits can you, your brother-in-law, get?"
A young man of medium height and a straight face, wearing khaki clothes and trousers, stepped across the threshold of the courtyard gate, touched the young woman behind him with his hand, and said with a frivolous smile.
"Uh! Do you smell it, pork slices, Sixi meatballs, waist flower..."
As Chen Jingnian spoke, he burped at the young man. As he spoke, he reached out and fiddled with his mouth twice, "The shrimp gun stuck in the gum."
"Just blow it."
The young man laughed a little, thinking that this guy's brother-in-law is just an ordinary policeman. He hasn't earned much in a month. He has to get married and buy things. So I have some spare money to answer your question.
"Sister Qin, when Brother Jia married you, how much benefit did he give your younger brothers and sisters?"
Chen Jinnian looked at the young woman next to the young man. The young woman held her waist. After being asked a sudden question, her blurred peach blossom eyes froze for a moment as if she was frightened. Her big black and white eyes flickered with endless thoughts.
style.
Qin Huairu, Widow Qin in the TV drama "Siheyuan".
At this time, Qin Huairu was more than ten times prettier than the characters on TV. She was wearing the floral gown she had worn as a girl, with red ground and white flowers. The very festive colored gown tightly wrapped her blooming figure. She looked taller than Jia Dongxu.
Even harder.
The increase in estrogen after pregnancy made her peach-shaped face look even more charming, and the posture of supporting her waist made her charming look even more delicate.
If in later generations, what Chen Jingnian sees is like a beauty blogger who turned off the filter, in addition to beautifying the face, enhancing face slimming, and finally sprinkling a layer of lead dust on the lens, then Qin Huairu now
It’s the human-shaped magic wand in Balala’s Little Magic Fairy. Every movement of it can make people’s eyes light up.
"What's your name? You have to call me sister-in-law."
The young man's face was a bit confused, he grabbed his wife's plump waist and walked towards the backyard.
“The more food you eat, the more fun you have!”
Chen Jingnian shook his head, turned around and closed the warehouse door.
He didn't want to irritate this short-lived guy Jia Dongxu. After all, Jia Dongxu was obviously older than him. If there was a verbal conflict, no matter how reasonable he was, he would be labeled as disrespectful to his elders.
But everything can't be generalized, so I can't be polite to Jia Dongxu, because this guy is the kind of guy who doesn't feel comfortable unless he chokes on a few words.
Just like before, the second aunt in the yard fell in love with Chen Jingnian's eldest sister, and she tried to talk to her about it. After being rejected by Chen Jingnian's mother, Liu Guangtian, the second son of the second aunt's family, would say weird things in the yard from time to time and make fun of her.
With his younger brother Liu Guangfu, the third eldest son Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang and other young men from the Gui family in Yanbu, they called Chen Jingnian's father medicine jar and Chen Jingnian's sick basket behind his back.
And Jia Dongxu, who was several years older than Liu Guangtian, actually followed suit. He really didn't know what was going on.
Later, after Jia Zhang married Jia Dongxu from Dongyingzi Village, Qin Huairu, the village beauty of Dongyingzi Village, the boy became completely confused. He walked with a sway and looked at the sky with his nostrils, like a pig that had eaten too much wine lees.
Whenever I have free time, I take Qin Huairu out to wander around the world.
Once I was blocked by a stubborn man in Beicheng, and I came back with two black eyes. I stopped for more than half a year, and then started wandering around in the alley again without changing my mind.
The most unpopular thing about Jia Dongxu is that since he got married, this kid has not waited until dark to turn on the lights and go indoors. Especially on hot days, every household in the yard has their windows propped up and the door open to sleep.
.
Qin Huairu sang and wept, her penetrating voice penetrated the walls and tiles, and echoed around the beams, making the yard look like the big alleys at the front door.
Looking back at Jia Dongxu, this guy is like a tireless scalper. He will be able to take one week off every month and work overtime every day for the remaining twenty years.
Jian Tianerdi flirted with the marriageable young men such as He Yuzhu, Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao in the yard until their eyes turned red, as if they had taken Shiquan Dabu Pills with medicinal wine soaked in sea dog whip. As soon as Qin Huairu came out, these people
He stared at her with bright eyes, wishing he could catch Qin Huairu in his eyes.
And Jia Dongxu, who felt that his wife was surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves, wanted to tie Qin Huairu to his waist and guard her all day long.
The result is that Jia Dongxu often goes to work with sleepy eyes, legs and feet shaking, and he is even more sneaky and slippery when working, playing easy and evasive.
Fast forward three years, after the apprenticeship expired, all the other apprentices had learned a skill, but Jia Dongxu was the only one who was not good at turning, riveting, and welding. He continued to work in various workshops for more than half a year, because there was really no one.
Wanting to earn a high salary, I applied to be transferred to the front line and became a steel rolling worker.
When Jia Dongxu got to the front line, he was still trying to fish in troubled waters. Every working day, the first thing he did was to use his salary and subsidies to buy sweets for his son Banggeng, and buy a hair tie for his wife.
This made his widowed mother reluctant to say anything, and feeling distressed even if she didn't. She could only complain to the aunts in the yard that her daughter-in-law couldn't control her husband.
It stands to reason that a normal person should be somewhat more stable after becoming a father, but Jia Dongxu not only failed to mature, but instead became more frivolous.
In terms of dealing with people, it's like taking expired birth control pills. When I meet an older person, I won't even talk to you, but I will talk about you.
When someone is younger than him, he becomes even more arrogant.
For example, Xu Damao, who was in the same hospital and worked as a projectionist in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill, changed from Damao to Mao Zi. He was even more outrageous towards He Yuzhu, who worked as a cook in the steel rolling mill, and even called him his nickname - Silly Zhu directly to his face.
In this era of living with the door open and seeing neighbors without looking up, Jia Dongxu's style has become an enduring topic of conversation among the aunts in the alleys and courtyards.
I said before that he had no appearance, but now he said implicitly that everything in Jia Dongxu's mind had burst out to nourish Qin Huairu.
Although this was a curse, it showed that the people's eyes were sharp.
After giving birth to her eldest daughter Jia Dang, Qin Huairu completely shed her youthfulness and perfectly transformed into a young woman with a charming look in her eyes.
Several young people of school age in the compound couldn't stand the excitement anymore and asked people to ask matchmakers one after another.
The first person to get divorced was the unlucky Xu Damao. This guy relied on his several years of education, eloquence, and foresight. Under the instruction of his parents, he fell in love with Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of a capitalist.
From then on, Xu Damao paid more attention to dressing up. He wore three-jointed leather shoes and a two-breasted suit. He was smeared with oil on his head and was groomed like a traitor. His behavior was even more dissolute than Jia Dongxu.
He also pretended to be steady and grew a mustache, coupled with two thick catfish mouths, becoming the second Jia Dongxu in the yard.
After being reprimanded several times by his prospective father-in-law, the boy restrained himself, washed off his hair oil, put on his Chinese tunic suit, and began to talk about enlightenment and quality.
In fact, he didn't do anything about human affairs. He took advantage of the time when he went to the countryside to play movies, ate and took cards, and actually did some shady things.
Then, Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the third uncle's family, also found a partner, named Yu Li.
The third uncle and his wife fell in love with this girl at first sight, and even their own daughters believed her.
Yu Li perfectly fits the stingy family tradition of the third uncle's family.
When you go to a supply and marketing cooperative to make vinegar, you have to add a few mouthfuls first, euphemistically called to taste whether it is sour or not.
He is the kind of person who has to hold back his farts even if he wants to go home, for fear that others will smell him.
Nowadays, among the marriageable young people in this courtyard, only He Yuzhu is single and looking for dates everywhere.
Moreover, for fear of being outdone by Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao, he asked the blind date partner to be short, fat, or ugly, and the conditions were so high that the matchmaker would gnash his teeth.
However, due to his family and personality, He Yuzhu was not only fond of doing things, but also a bit talkative. He also had the reputation of being a stupid person given to him by his father. In the end, the matchmaker even walked around when he saw him.
...
"Uncle Axe, is Auntie Nannan at home? I want to play with her."
A little girl wearing an old quilt and a coat with runny nose on her sleeves ran out of the backyard and coughed twice after calling.
"When we were little, your auntie was doing her homework. Wait until she finishes her homework before she can play with you."
Chen Jingnian gently dismissed Jia Dongxu's eldest daughter Xiaodang, grabbed a handful of dried radish from the dustpan under the eaves, and brought it into the house.
"Brother, come find me when you are young!"
Nannan licked the noodle dregs from her mouth, picked at the gap in the lid of the box, picked up the noodle dregs inside with a twig of sorghum ear, and asked without raising her head.
"Children has a cold, so don't play with her these days."
Chen Jingnian threw the radish strips into the enamel basin, saw his sister's pouty little mouth, and said with a smile: "If you practice the big characters on the rice plate more every day, I will reward you with a piece of pea yellow in the evening."
Nannan has poor health, low immunity, pollen allergies, and coughs when she catches a cold, so Chen Jinnian has always been very concerned about the little girl's health.
He felt that the successive health problems in the family had a lot to do with his father, who had lung disease and had been in bed for several years. It was most likely that he was infected with the disease.
Among them, the original owner with the same name as him was the most seriously ill, followed by his mother, and his daughter and eldest sister were relatively better in another room.
Especially the eldest sister who is in high school. She spends most of her time at school during the day, and when she comes back at night, she is busy inside and outside the house, so she is not affected at all.
"Does today count?"
Nannan's eyes lit up, she put down the lid of the box and asked.
"It counts."
Chen Jingnian shaved his sister's forehead, took a basin to the kitchen, and washed the dried radishes twice. This chapter has been completed!
