Chapter 2 Neighbors
The water was boiled in the morning and is now warm.
The outer cover of the rattan thermos does not return to color, and even if the inner tank has just been replaced, the thermal insulation effect of the thermos is much worse.
Like embroidery, the dough of the fruit is pinched and pinched, and it seems that it can be eaten until noon.
Chen Jingnian got up and walked out of the house, took out a broom and a pinch from the warehouse and cleaned the front yard inside and out.
The fur skin mixed with candy paper and grit was gathered into a pile by him and swept into a handful.
Even if this thing can't even boil saliva, it can still burn and heat, which means it can't be thrown away in vain.
It's not that Chen Jingnian will pass, but in this era, careful planning has been engraved in everyone's bones, and being able to save an extra penny means being hungry less.
People who have never been hungry will never understand the feeling of scratching their hearts and livers.
"Axe, your sister is married, what kind of benefits do you brother-in-law ask for!"
A medium-sized, letter-faced young man in an earthy yellow shirt crossed the threshold of the courtyard gate, and slapped the young woman behind him with his hand, and smiled in a flirtatious tone.
"Ugh! Smell it, rotten meat slices, four happy meatballs, slippery waist flowers......"
Chen Jingnian burped at the young man as he spoke, and reached out and dug it in his mouth twice as he spoke, "The shrimp gun is in the gum." ”
"Just blow it."
The young man smiled, thinking that this kid's brother-in-law is an ordinary policeman, who hasn't earned much in a month, and he wants to get married and buy things, so he will answer you kid with spare money.
"Sister Qin, when Brother Jia married you, how many benefits did it give to your younger brothers and sisters."
Chen Jingnian looked at the young woman beside the young man, the young woman was holding her waist, and after being suddenly asked, her blurry peach blossom eyes seemed to be frightened for a moment, and her big black and white eyes were turning with endless style.
Qin Huairu, the widow of Qin in the courtyard of the TV series.
At this time, Qin Huairu is more than ten times better looking than the characters on TV, wearing the flower cloth gown when she was a girl, the red ground and white flowers, and the very festive gown tightly wraps the blooming figure, and she looks even more fierce than Jia Dongxu.
The increase in estrogen after pregnancy made her peach blossom face seven points more charming, and the posture of supporting her waist made this charm with three points of weakness.
If it is said that when he traveled over in later generations, everything Chen Jingnian saw was like a beauty blogger who turned off the filter, in addition to beautifying his face, strengthening his face slimming, and finally sprinkling a layer of lead ash on the lens, then the current Qin Huairu is a humanoid magic wand in Balala's little demon fairy, and every movement can make people's eyes shine.
"What's it called, you have to call it sister-in-law."
The young man's face was a little unbearable, and he grabbed his daughter-in-law's plump waist and walked to the backyard.
"The more you eat, the more fun you get!"
Chen Jingnian shook his head, turned around and closed the door of the warehouse.
He didn't want to stimulate Jia Dongxu, a short-lived guy, after all, Jia Dongxu was bigger than him on the face, if there was a verbal conflict, no matter how reasonable he was, he would have to end up with a name of disrespect and respect for his elders.
But everything can't be generalized, so he can't be polite to Jia Dongxu, because this kid is the kind of master who doesn't choke him, and he won't feel comfortable.
Just like the second aunt in the yard fell in love with Chen Jingnian's eldest sister before, and after being rejected by Chen Jingnian's mother, Liu Guangtian, the second son of the second aunt's family, said something strange in the yard from time to time, playing with his younger brother Liu Guangfu, and Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and other half-grown sons of the third grandfather Yan Bugui's family called Chen Jingnian's father's medicine jar behind his back, called Chen Jingnian's sick basket.
And Jia Dongxu, who is several years older than Liu Guangtian, also called, and he really didn't know anything about it.
Later, after Jia Zhang's family married Jia Dongxu from Dongyingzi Village to Qin Huairu, the village flower of Dongyingzi Village, this kid was completely stunned, walking with fluttering hair, looking at the sky with his nostrils, like a pig who has eaten too much distiller's lees.
As long as you are free, you will take Qin Huairu out to wander around the world.
Once in Beicheng, he was blocked by a stubborn lord and came back with two blue eyes. It only stopped for more than half a year, and then it began to jump in the alley again.
And the most unpopular thing about Jia Dongxu is that since this kid got married, he didn't wait for the light to drill into the house, especially when it was hot, every household in the yard slept with the windows and doors open.
Qin Huairu's singing and crying, penetrating sound pierced through the walls and tiles, and the aftermath lingered around the beams, making the yard look like the big alleys at the front door.
On the other hand, Jia Dongxu, this guy is like a tireless scalper, who will be able to rest for a week every month, and work overtime every day for the remaining twenty days.
Seeing that the marriageable young men in the courtyard, such as He Yuzhu, Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao, were teased so that their eyes were red, as if they had taken the Ten Great Tonic Pills with medicinal wine soaked in a sea dog whip, as soon as Qin Huairu came out, this group of people stared at it with bright eyes, eager to catch Qin Huairu in their eyes.
And Jia Dongxu, who felt that his daughter-in-law was surrounded by a group of hungry wolves, couldn't wait to tie Qin Huairu around his waist and guard it all day and night.
As a result, Jia Dongxu often has two eyes in his eyes, and his legs and feet are struggling to go to work, and when he is working, he is even more cheating and slippery, and he is afraid of the heavy.
After three years, after the apprenticeship expired, the other apprentices all learned a skill, but Jia Dongxu was stunned that none of the riveting electric welding of the tongs could get his hands on. In this way, he worked in various workshops for more than half a year, and because no one wanted it, and he wanted to earn a high salary, he applied to be transferred to the front line as a steel rolling worker.
Jia Dongxu is also fishing in troubled waters when he arrives on the front line, and the first thing he does on every day is to buy candy for his son with his salary and subsidies, and buy a rope for his daughter-in-law.
This made his widow's mother reluctant to say it, and she felt distressed if she didn't say it, so she could only talk to the aunts in the yard that her daughter-in-law couldn't control her grandfather.
It stands to reason that normal people should be more or less stable after becoming a father, but Jia Dongxu not only did not mature, but became more frivolous.
In terms of dealing with the world, it is like taking expired contraceptive pills, and when you meet an older person, you don't even say anything, and it is you who opens and closes your mouth.
When you meet someone smaller than him, it will be even more arrogant.
For example, Xu Damao, who was in the same hospital and worked as a projectionist in the propaganda department of the rolling mill, changed from Damao to Maozi, and he was even more excessive to He Yuzhu, who worked as a cook in the rolling mill, and even directly called people --- stupid pillar in person.
In this era when the door is open to live and the neighbors bow their heads and don't look up, Jia Dongxu's style has become an enduring conversation among the aunts in the alley and the yard.
It was said that he was no one before, but now the meaning of the words is that the little things in Jia Dongxu's mind have erupted to nourish Qin Huairu.
Although these words are scolding, they show that the eyes of the masses are bright.
After giving birth to her eldest daughter Jia Dang, Qin Huairu completely skimmed off the youth on her body and perfectly transformed into a young woman, with a wave of charm in her eyes.
Several school-age youths in the compound couldn't stand the stimulation anymore and asked for someone to ask for a matchmaker.
The first to get off the list was Xu Damao, who took the shit luck, this guy relied on having read books for a few years, can speak well, has the ability to see, and under the instruction of his parents, he caught up with the capitalist's daughter Lou Xiao'e.
Since then, Xu Damao has paid more attention to dressing up, three-joint leather shoes, a two-breasted suit, smeared with oil on his head, like a traitor, and his demeanor is more prodigal than Jia Dongxu.
also pretended to grow a mustache steadily, with two thick catfish mouths, and became the second Jia Dongxu in the yard.
After being reprimanded by his father-in-law a few times, this kid relented, washed off his hair oil, put on a Mao suit, and began to talk about consciousness and quality with his mouth open and closed.
In fact, there is still no personnel at all. took advantage of the efforts of going to the countryside to show movies, eating and taking cards, and actually doing some shady things.
Then, Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the three great masters, also had a partner, whose name was Yu Li.
This girl is the three masters and the two of them at a glance, and they are believed to be their daughters.
Yu Li perfectly fits the family style of the three masters, and the blue is better than the blue.
When you go to the supply and marketing cooperative, you have to add a few sips of vinegar first, and it is said that it is not sour.
It's the kind of master who has to hold back his farts and go home to let it go, for fear that others will smell it.
Now, only He Yuzhu is left alone among the marriageable young people in this courtyard, and he is going around on blind dates.
And for fear of being compared with Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao, he asked the blind date to be shorter, fat, and ugly.
But because of the relationship between family and personality, He Yuzhu not only loves to be hands-on, but also has a bit of a broken mouth, and bears the name of a stupid pillar given to him by his father, and in the end, the matchmaker walked around when he saw him.
......
"Uncle Axe, is Aunt Nan at home? I want to play with her. ”
A little girl wearing a jacket that had been remodeled from an old quilt and had snot on her sleeves ran out of the backyard and coughed twice after screaming.
"Xiaodang, your aunt is doing her homework, and I'll play with you when she finishes her homework."
Chen Jingnian softly dismissed Jia Dongxu's eldest daughter, Xiaodang, grabbed a handful of dried radishes from the dustpan under the eaves, and brought them into the house.
"Brother, Xiaodang is looking for me!"
Nan Nan licked the slag from her mouth, picked up the gap in the lid of the box, held a thin branch of a sorghum ear and picked the slag inside, and asked without raising her head.
"Xiaodang has a cold, don't play with her these days."
Chen Jingnian threw the radish strips into the enamel basin, saw his sister's pouting mouth, and said with a smile: "If you practice more big characters on the rice plate every day, you will be rewarded with a piece of pea yellow in the evening." ”
Nannan's body foundation is poor, her immunity is low, she is allergic to pollen, and she coughs when she has a cold, so Chen Jingnian has always been very concerned about the health of the little girl.
He felt that the health problems of these people in the family were related to his father, who had lung disease and stayed up in bed for several years, and it was very likely that he was sick.
Among them, the original owner with the same name and surname as himself was the most seriously ill, followed by his mother, and Nan Nan and the 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.
"Is it counted today?"
Nannan's eyes lit up, and she lowered the lid and asked.
"Sort of."
Chen Jingnian shaved his sister's forehead, took the basin to the kitchen and washed the dried radish twice.
