Chapter 139: The Jia Zhang Family's Courtyard is Gone
Chapter 139: The Jia Zhang Family's Courtyard is Gone
It was Sunday, and many people heard the news that someone was being criticized. They all felt cold, so they carried small stools, balls of wool or shoe soles, and ran to the place in groups of three or five.
Bai Baoshan did not go, mainly because it was an early morning thing and neither he nor Qiao Yun had the habit of getting up early.
When the weather got cold, Qiao Yun said she would never sleep in a bed by herself.
After falling asleep, I discovered that this girl's hands and feet were frozen. Her hands and feet were only warm after being placed on Bai Baoshan's body for half the night. This would be much better if it were summer, but it was winter.
Everyone else's family had a kang, but his own family only had a bunk bed. Fortunately, Bai Baoshan had connected a water container to the side of the coal stove, which was similar to a water heater. On the other side, there was a cover that shone on the coal stove.
You know what, the temperature in the room is around 80 or 90 degrees.
The key is to have hot water to wash your face and feet in the morning and evening.
Now, apart from steaming buns and cooking outside, a coal stove is used to prepare everything for the day.
Although it is not snowing now, the weather is so cold that people can't help shivering.
At the beginning of the month, I moved a few chickens into the house and placed them next to the kitchen. During the day, I let them out, and when it gets dark, I drive them back to the house. Or I don't even need to drive them at all, as they will stagger back home happily.
Although they don't lay eggs as actively in winter, they still lay about one or two eggs a day.
If it weren't for these chickens, Bai Baoshan would really have no place to get eggs.
The two of them stayed in bed until 10: in the afternoon before getting up.
Qiao Yun was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, which looked warm. Bai Baoshan was wearing a sweater with a crooked collar and one sleeve longer than the other. It's amazing that girls these days are so talented. Qiao Yun even took apart and washed the quilt by herself. When it was time to fluff the cotton, Bai Baoshan took Qiao Yun to the cotton fluffing spot in Jiaodaokou on his bike.
Jobs such as cotton-fluffing and scissors-sharpening are the only small businesses that can be done privately.
However, you need to get a letter of introduction in the village, and report to the street office no matter which street you arrive at.
As for houses and the like, don't worry, the street office will give them to you for free.
While the two were washing up, they heard a commotion in the yard.
Bai Baoshan listened to it.
Criticize
Today's criticism session was quite enjoyable, but several people actually felt pity for Jia Zhang after the session.
Well, Jia Zhang was like a little white rabbit in today's criticism. The others either beat or scolded their daughters-in-law. There was even one who had been married for three years but refused to let his son and daughter-in-law sleep together, and he slept between them every day.
You think this is a joke? Naive.
The mother-in-law actually blamed her daughter-in-law for not being pregnant after being married for half a year?
This……
This is outrageous...
Even pigs know that they need to mate to give birth to piglets, but this mother-in-law doesn’t know this?
At first, nothing happened. But later, he called her a "hen that doesn't lay eggs" in front of others. She couldn't tolerate this, so she hanged herself from the beam in anger.
You have to report how the person died to the street office.
Director Chen happened to hear this and was so angry that he almost killed several of the managers of the courtyard on the spot.
Compared with this kind of people, is Jia Zhang a little white rabbit?
The people below said that Jia Zhang would be sent back to her hometown in Changping.
If she is sent back to the countryside, Jia Zhang will have nowhere to go.
Not only that, all the money found on Jia Zhang was returned to Qin Huairu.
There were only more than 200 yuan. Where was the rest of the money? Jia Zhang would never tell him. There was only a certificate of replacement in the small box under the bed.
Qin Huairu was so sad that she could not even cry when she held the more than 200 yuan and the certificate of replacement.
But at least starting from next month, the whole family will have a fixed food supply.
Although it was the lowest in the entire capital, it ensured that we would not starve to death.
Without Jia Zhang, is the Jia family still the Jia family?
Who is the happiest? Of course, it can't be Qin Huairu.
It should be Banggeng. He doesn't have to go to school. He wants to go to the village with his grandmother. His grandmother said that there is food everywhere in the village and he can eat whatever he wants.
Jia Zhangshi could live without anyone except her eldest grandson.
In ancient times, there were people who held the emperor hostage to control the princes, and now there are people like Jia Zhang who hold sticks hostage to control Qin Huairu.
As long as the stick is in her hands, Qin Huairu will get whatever she wants in the future, right?
Jia Zhang is not stupid.
There is only one Qin Huairu and Xiaodang in the Jia family now.
The happier person was the man with the idea, but who knew that in the afternoon, Qin Huairu brought a carpenter to replace the windows and doors of her house with very thick ones.
I guess if someone knocks on her door at night, the whole yard will be able to hear it.
If he were charged with breaking into a widow's house at night, it would be equivalent to being a hooligan. He could be tried today and shot tomorrow.
This means that from now on, as long as Qin Huairu doesn’t want to open the door for someone, that person won’t even be able to enter the house.
Some people are anxious, but some are not. The nest has been built, so why are we just waiting for someone to move in?
In the afternoon, Tang Yiming returned home in a very high-profile manner, carrying about two kilograms of fat and several large bones.
Along the way, everyone who saw him would ask a question.
Where did you buy it? In the pigeon market.
These days there is no crime as serious as speculating.
(In 63, after the new Five Antis Movement, speculation was banned and criminalized. Only then did speculation cease. The pigeon market was completely banned and turned into a black market. So don’t get it wrong. Before 63, those who were caught speculating were only given a few verbal warnings and their belongings were not confiscated. Unless you had no one at home and were starving, people would not blame the country for this. They would only say that you took their belongings.)
Bai Baoshan also went out in the afternoon and brought back 2 kilograms of beef, 2 kilograms of mutton, lotus root, beef meatballs, 1 kilogram of Chinese cabbage, and a small bag of mushroom soup base. Well, it was delicious.
The most important thing is that Bai Baoshan took out a white ceramic pot for eating hot pot, which is so beautiful.
I've just cleaned the pot and put it on the coal stove.
There was a knock on the door.
He was preparing the base of the pot and couldn't leave, so Qiao Yun went to open the door.
"Brother, it's Brother Damao who's here."
"Let him in." Bai Baoshan replied.
It is estimated that Xu Damao was the first person who could enter Bai Baoshan’s house, of course, there was also Lou Xiaoe.
But I haven't seen her for a long time.
As soon as Xu Damao came in, he had a bitter face.
"Brother Damao, what's going on?"
"My Director Bai, my brother Bai, I have been traveling back and forth to 42 villages for a month. Do you know how I feel? I almost went to the wrong house. I showed movies for a month and a half and didn't go home for a single day.
I have almost forgotten what my wife looks like."
"Haha... Brother Damao, it's okay. Come and eat at my place later. We'll have hotpot... Hey, what is this? White mushrooms?" Bai Baoshan was attracted by the small bunch of dried mushrooms that Xu Damao was holding.
"This? Then I'm not sleepy anymore, do you know what this is?
Xiangshan giant white mushroom, also known as Tianhua mushroom, is the best mushroom in the world and a rare treasure. My father-in-law was reluctant to give it to me, so I sent it to you, my brother.
Do you know how expensive these things are? Just this one, in the past, would cost at least 5 taels of silver each. "
"Good fellow, Brother Damao, I am not well educated, so don't lie to me. This string of 20 pieces is worth a hundred taels of silver."
Xu Damao took the teacup handed over by Qiao Yun and said, "You know what, it's really worth the price."
"Where's Sister-in-law Xiao'e? Ask her to come over and have dinner together."
"She's at her parents' house. I haven't gone to pick her up yet. I'll go tomorrow. I'll go to work on time and won't go out much."
"Well."
