After a while, several people came to Huhulala, all wearing work clothes, and at first glance, the temperament was not an ordinary person.

The man at the head was not tall, he was full of energy, and yelled: "Stop it all for me!" This person is Director Feng of the Machinery Factory, and the few people who followed him are also leaders of the Machinery Factory. Why did such a little thing alarm so many leaders? It was also a coincidence that at this time, these leaders gathered together for a meeting, and in addition to the leading group of the factory, there were also two comrades from the superior unit. It was all going well. The one who ran to call people was a stunned young man, pushed open the door of the office, and shouted inside: "Factory director, it's terrible, Zhao Jianshe has fought with people in a group, and he has seen blood." ”

As soon as I heard that there was a group fight, I saw blood, and I was afraid that something big would happen, so a group of leading comrades came running all the way, and there were a few people with poor physical strength, and they were not even out of breath. Seeing the chaos in the yard, Director Feng only felt that his face was embarrassed today. Beckoning everyone to pull people away.

Everyone can see clearly, Zhao Jianshe is more miserable, his face is bruised and swollen, the corners of his mouth are still bleeding, and his work clothes are torn. Zhang Lanlan was unkempt, with blood marks from her nails on her face, and mud marks on her clothes. The situation of the sister-in-law of the Zhao family is slightly better, her hair is messy, and the white flowers on her head don't know where they have fallen.

Two other men also had traces of a fight, and the others were still neat. It can be seen that except for the two women, the rest are three men who fought. Sister-in-law Zhao's group of people are all biased, otherwise the form can't be one-sided!

Director Feng looked at this group of people, and his heart was on fire, "What do you all want to do? When the two sisters-in-law went to freshen up, Director Feng was a little embarrassed and said to the man who came with him: "Secretary Lu, I'm really sorry, I made you laugh." This will also be the time to eat, or you go to eat first, I ...... here" Tong Yan saw Secretary Lu and secretly admired how good he looked. 1.8 meters tall, handsome eyebrows, three-dimensional facial features, a short-sleeved shirt, with a pair of black trousers, a pair of black leather shoes, a tall posture, in a group of people have a sense of standing out from the crowd, the whole person exudes a gentle and elegant atmosphere. Secretary Lu was very interested, and left after greeting Director Feng.

Director Feng hurriedly commanded the deputy director and Accountant Xu to follow. Without outsiders, Director Feng looked at Zhao Jianshe and Zhang Lanlan, and couldn't wait to kick the two out. I thought: When is it not okay to fight, I have to pick today. I was busy for a long time, and in order to make a good impression on the leader, I smashed it all this time. Holding back his anger, Director Feng convened a group of people for a meeting, and Tong Yan listened to the "live broadcast" at home.

It turned out that Zhao Jianjian's job was previously the eldest brother Zhao Jianmin, and Zhao Jianmin was able to find a job in the machinery factory because of the help of the Zhao family's sister-in-law's maiden brother, Zhao Jianmin is a capable person, originally worked as a repairman in the machinery factory, and the money earned every month was handed over to the old lady, because there was no separation, the two brothers of the Zhao family and a sister-in-law all ate together, and in disguise, it became Zhao Jianmin to supplement a large family, although the sister-in-law of the Zhao family was not happy, but it was not easy to say anything.

A few months ago, Zhao Jianmin passed away due to illness, and the Zhao family was reluctant to take this job, so they went to ask Zhao's sister-in-law's brother to intercede and gave this job to Zhao Jianjian, of course, the Zhao family took out thirty yuan to Zhao's sister-in-law's mother's family, and in addition, in the future, five yuan per month was given to Zhao's sister-in-law for three years. It was supposed to be a happy thing for everyone.

But the thing is with Zhao Jianjian, Zhao Jianshe is a rural man, and he doesn't know anything except farming. Naturally, the position of repairman could not be done for him, so he arranged for Zhao Jianshe to work in the warehouse, with less money and heavy work, except for the money to supplement the sister-in-law, and the money handed over to the old lady, he couldn't have a few dollars left.

The original subsidy for Zhao's sister-in-law was naturally gone. Sister-in-law Zhao is not happy in her heart, the original man is alive and can work, her mother-in-law is polite to herself, and the work at home is also done lightly, the relationship between the two is good, and her man buys some small snacks from time to time to secretly stuff it for himself.

Now I have a lot of work to do at home, and I have to take care of a pair of children in my second brother's family, and I have two children at home, and my mother-in-law is not in good health, so she can't do much work, and she picks up the heavy burden by herself, and the key is that the five-yuan subsidy that was promised every month is gone.

Sister-in-law Zhao naturally quit, and when she went back to her parents' house to cry, her mother's family didn't do it anymore, so she called a few relatives to come to Zhao Jianshe to settle accounts. The two families fought for a long time, and no one refused to give a step, and finally Director Feng became angry, leaving a sentence, if you don't know what to do, then don't do it, and go home to farm.

Zhao Jianshe and his family were finally scared, it was better to work here than to farm at home, and the two families renegotiated, and finally decided that Zhao Jianshe would subsidize Zhao's sister-in-law with four yuan a month, and Zhang Lanlan had to go home to work when the farm was busy. By the time the agreement was reset, the two families were staked, and the matter was over, it was almost three o'clock, and Director Feng's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he left in a huff. Sister-in-law Zhao and a group of people returned victorious. Zhao Jianshe and his family went back to the house and quarreled again, and a big drama came to an end. Seeing Zhang Lanlan deflated, Tong Yan was still very happy. Soon, though, she realized that the matter wasn't over yet.

A few days later, Tong Yan finished making up for Gao Yue's lesson, and as soon as she returned to the courtyard, she found that there were two more unfamiliar faces in the courtyard. Two children about ten years old, the girl is older, black and thin, with yellow hair, patches on his clothes, several patches on his pants, and a short trouser leg. The boys are a little smaller and shorter than the girls, and their clothes are old and patched, but they are more dirty, and the dirty ones can't distinguish the original color of the clothes, and they are squatting on the ground playing with ants.

The girl is raising the stove, and it is estimated that she is not very good at it, and the smoke on the stove has been rising, and the smoke makes people cry. Tong Yanzheng wondered, someone came to answer questions.

Sister-in-law Tian took a small bowl to Tong Yan, there was half a bowl of red fruits in the small bowl, the size of a small thumb, looking at the water and spirit. Sister-in-law Tian pointed to the bowl of fruit and beckoned Tong Yan: "Come, taste it, bring it from home." Tong Yan was not polite to Tian's sister-in-law, and the two sat and chatted while eating.

"Did you see those two children?" said to Sister-in-law Tian in a low voice and Tong Yan. Tong Yan nodded cooperatively, and looked at Sister-in-law Tian expectantly, "The child of that family." Sister-in-law Tian pointed in the direction of Zhang Lanlan's house, "This morning, Sister-in-law Zhao sent the two children over, and she refused to bring anything with her." Do you know why not?" Tong Yan shook her head again very cooperatively. Sister-in-law Tian was very satisfied: "The two quarreled, and Zhang Lanlan went home and told her mother-in-law about the last time they fought, because of that, Zhao Jianshe deducted the money and was criticized by the factory director." The mother-in-law counted Zhao's sister-in-law, and Zhao's sister-in-law sent the child back. You're back late, or you'll be able to catch one. After speaking, he looked at Tong Yan with a very regretful look. Tong Yan smiled secretly and expressed her gratitude to Sister-in-law Tian for her timely report.

At the end, Sister-in-law Tian reminded Tong Yan and asked Tong Yan to be careful, she didn't know how much trouble there would be if there were two more children. Tong Yan didn't think there was anything, she lived behind closed doors, and no one was in anyone's way.

Soon, Tong Yan was slapped in the face. In the evening, Tong Yan finished eating, wiped the mat clean, and walked out of the courtyard with dirty water. poured the water, and bumped into Zhang Lanlan.

Zhang Lanlan took the initiative to greet Tong Yan: "Miss Tong, have you eaten?" Tong Yan slandered, it is rare that Zhang Lanlan will also take the initiative to greet people, it is estimated that it is not good. tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Eat, something." ”

"That's right, I don't think it's easy for you to be a girl, you live here alone, and you don't usually talk to people, and it's pitiful. My Qiuni came over today, this child is well-behaved, just with you, what do you think?"

Tong Yan was a little confused when she heard this: "What do you mean to have a companion with me?" Zhang Lanlan was a little anxious, and her tone was not very good: "Why can't you understand the words of this girl who has studied?" Tong Yan also became angry: "That sister-in-law Zhang will explain!"

"I'm just saying, you're a big girl, it's not safe to live alone at night, I'll let my family Qiu Ni live with you and be your companion. Tong Yan was angry when she heard this: "Sister-in-law Zhang, you just say directly, you want Qiu Ni to live with me, that's what you mean, what else do you want to have a companion." Then I have to ask, why? I pay for the house I rent, and I am not from your family, why do I let your children live in my house. ”

"You live alone, the house is empty, what can you do to build a shop for my family Qiuni? Zhang Lanlan said it confidently. Tong Yan felt that she couldn't tell her, so she turned her face blank and refused directly: "I don't need someone to accompany me, and you don't want to beat me about the idea of this house." He turned around and left.

Zhang Lanlan stretched out her hand and grabbed Tong Yan's arm, Tong Yan pulled her hand away and glared at Zhang Lanlan: "If you mess around again, I will find Sister Li from the housing management office, otherwise, I can also find the leader of the machinery factory, I will let everyone comment on the theory, whose children live in the neighbor's house." ”

As soon as she heard that she was looking for Sister Li and the factory leader, Zhang Lanlan was still afraid, so she immediately retracted her hand, looked at the back of Tong Yan leaving, and shouted unwillingly: "Who is rare in your broken house, who is rare to live in, give a shameless cheap girl." Tong Yan was so angry that she closed the door and isolated Zhang Lanlan's scolding outside the house. He took out a bottle of ice drink from the space and drank half of it before he suppressed the fire. After being angry, Tong Yan remembered Sister-in-law Tian's words and should be vigilant against Zhang Lanlan's family.

The next morning, as soon as Tong Yan opened the door, she was frightened. Because when you open the door, you see a head on the ground, how terrifying it is.

After a closer look, he found that it was Qiu Ni lying on a wooden plank sleeping. There is only one wall between Tong Yan's house and Zhang Lanlan's house, and the doors of the two houses are not far away. So Tong Yan saw a head when she went out.

Tong Yan took several deep breaths to calm her mind. As soon as I wanted to find Zhang Lanlan and talk about this, the door of Zhang Lanlan's house opened, Zhang Lanlan yawned and walked out, seeing Tong Yan give a white eye, Tong Yan saw that the corners of her eyes were still stained with eye feces, and she was nauseous.

Before Tong Yan could speak, Zhang Lanlan kicked on the bed board, startling Qiu Ni, "Don't hurry up, what time is it, you are your eldest lady, you don't have to work, hurry up." Qiu Ni got up from the bed board aggrievedly and followed Zhang Lanlan to fetch water. Tong Yan swallowed everything she wanted to say back into her stomach.

Some people who live in the same hospital can't look at it and say two words: "The child is not young anymore, and sleeping in the yard is not a thing, there are many insects at night, and the child suffers." Zhang Lanlan looked at the man and sneered twice: "If there is a place in our family, we can't let the girl sleep outside, it's not impossible, I can't live, otherwise, any of you will move a place and let my girl build a shop." The man turned around and walked away.

Tong Yan was a little sympathetic to Qiu Ni in her heart, but it was impossible to live with her. Tong Yan remembered that Tian's sister-in-law had talked to her about the size of the houses here, and the one Tong Yan lived in was the smallest, and it was originally a small warehouse. The area of several other houses is larger than the one where Tong Yan lives, Zhang Lanlan's house is five square meters larger than the one where Tong Yan lives, if a high and low bed is placed, Qiu Ni can sleep in the house, it is estimated that Zhang Lanlan will not spend this money for Qiu Ni.

I can only hope that there will be opportunities to secretly help Qiu Ni in the future. But it didn't take long for Tong Yan to nip this kindness in the bud.

Tong Yan's daily task now is to go to Sister Li's house in the morning to make up lessons for Gao Yue, fortunately, although Gao Yue is a second-year teenager, he can still listen to Tong Yan's words a little, plus Tong Yan taught him to draw, he is not afraid of Tong Yan giving him make-up lessons.

This kid is not stupid, he has taught a few times, and he can do some simple questions correctly, and he is also confident, and he swears that he will get a good score in the exam at the beginning of school. Sister Li was also very happy to see her son's progress. Sister Li's family conditions are not bad, both of them can earn money, just one son, naturally she will not treat the child badly in food, and Tong Yan is also stained. However, Tong Yan still understands the etiquette, and Tong Yan sometimes brings some food to Gao Yue. The two families get along very well.

That day, Sister Li gave Tong Yan half a watermelon and asked Tong Yan to take it back to eat. Fruit is a good thing, and most people rarely buy it. Tong Yan thought about leaving half for Sister-in-law Tian, living in the small courtyard these days, Sister-in-law Tian treated her well, and she was not a person who liked to mess with trouble. Another point is that Tian's sister-in-law's man mixes well in the machinery factory, and even takes Tian's sister-in-law in the yard to talk, and there is no harm in getting along with such a person.

When it was time to get off work, Tong Yan took the watermelon out of the space, cut half of it and sent it to Sister-in-law Tian, and put the other half on the table, thinking that it was just a matter of two steps, so she didn't lock the door. Sister-in-law Tian naturally smiled when she saw the watermelon, and accepted it after a few polite words with Tong Yan.

When Tong Yan returned to the house, she found that the watermelon on the table was missing, if it weren't for the watermelon juice left on the table, Tong Yan thought that she was hallucinating. Inexplicably missing something, Tong Yan was shocked, and took a closer look at the room, fortunately, there was no shortage of other things. Tong Yan thought about it carefully, the person who stole the watermelon must be someone from the yard, first, she saw Tong Yan taking the watermelon into the house, and second, she saw Tong Yan go to Tian's sister-in-law's house, Tong Yan and Tian's sister-in-law only said a few words, and it didn't take long, Tong Yan locked the object of suspicion at Zhang Lanlan's house. But there is no evidence to talk nonsense, this dumb loss Tong Yan can only eat it.

After dinner, the people in the yard came out to enjoy the coolness, some played chess, some chatted, usually Tong Yan does not participate in this kind of activity, today, Tong Yan also went out with a fan. Sister-in-law Tian saw Tong Yan and teased her: "It's rare to see you at this point." ”

Tong Yan sat beside Sister-in-law Tian with a smile and chatted with her. Not long after, the two children of Zhang Lanlan's family also came out, the eldest daughter is Qiu Ni, and the younger son is called Dong Bao. As soon as Dong Bao came, he crowded into the crowd to watch people play chess. I don't know how Zhang Lanlan takes care of her two children, the two children are always dirty, and there is always a smell of sweat on their bodies.

As soon as Dong Bao came, several adults made room for him, after all, no one wanted to be next to him, Tong Yan slowly walked behind Dong Bao, and got closer, Tong Yan smelled a faint fragrance of watermelon in the smell of sweat. At this time, Qiu Ni also squeezed in, and Tong Yan also smelled watermelon on her. Tong Yan retreated, turned around, and with a little light, Tong Yan saw a pink object stuck to Dong Bao's clothes. Tong Yan looked at the two children in disgust, although she didn't know who entered her house, there was no doubt that the two children had eaten watermelon. Because Tong Yan didn't think that Zhang Lanlan would be willing to buy watermelon for the two children to eat.

Tong Yan thinks that she is not a stingy person, if Tong Yan is eating, the child sees it, Tong Yan is willing to give a little, but stealing is absolutely intolerable. Tong Yan thought about it, there is no real evidence for this matter, and people will not admit it, so they can only pay more attention to it. In the crowd, Qiu Ni also saw Tong Yan and found that Tong Yan was staring at her, and the child hurriedly lowered his head. Tong Yan was originally more suspicious of Dongbao, but she didn't expect it to be Qiu Ni.

The watermelon was indeed stolen by Qiu Ni, when Tong Yan was cutting the watermelon in the house, Qiu Ni took the basin to pour water, and happened to pass by the door of Tong Yan's house, smelling the watermelon fragrance Qiu Ni's greedy saliva, Tong Yan took the watermelon to Tian's sister-in-law's house, and Qiu Ni entered Tong Yan's house.

The clothes were drying in the small courtyard, blocking the view, so Qiu Ni put the watermelon in the basin, covered it with her hands, and went back to her house. It's not the first time Qiu Ni has done such a thing, when she lived in her hometown, the family ate sweet potatoes and wild vegetables, and occasionally ate a dry meal, but it was not her turn, and she felt uncomfortable hungry every day, and then she was able to help the family cook on the fire, and when she saw the food, she secretly hid a little, and gradually became more and more bold. Fortunately, the amount of it was not much, so no one found out.
