Chapter 44: Trivia
Seeing the three grandsons kneeling in front of him crying and crying, holding his and his wife's legs and refusing to let go, Old Man Ran is heart made of stone, and he also softened it.
Coupled with the persuasion of Silly Zhu and Ran Qiuye singing and harmonizing, Ran's father and mother finally chose to stay in the courtyard, but the old couple refused to live in the main house of the middle courtyard that Silly Zhu and his wife gave up, but lived in the backyard house left by the deaf old lady to Silly Zhu.
It's just that Wang Zhong gave the stupid pillar this idea, but he blocked Yi Zhonghai's back road, and Yi Zhonghai was originally full of yards, and he also drew to the stupid pillar, and they will be given the old couple to the end of their pension in the future.
But since he married Ran Qiuye and gave birth to a son, the person in charge of the old He family has become Ran Qiuye, although Yi Zhonghai has a good relationship with Silly Zhu, but there is not much intersection with Ran Qiuye, and the relationship can only be said to be average.
Although Ran Qiuye usually shows a lot of respect for Yi Zhonghai and his wife, if he really lets Ran Qiuye and Silly Zhu provide for himself and his wife, Yi Zhonghai really has no bottom in his heart.
Especially now, the three sons of Silly Zhu and Ran Qiuye, although the eldest is only many, the youngest is only three years old, and Ran Qiuye has a father and mother on top of him, when Ran's father and Ran's mother didn't move over, Yi Zhonghai still had a little thought in his heart, but since Ran's father and Ran's mother moved into the room left by the deaf old lady in the backyard to Silly Zhu, it is equivalent to cutting off Yi Zhonghai's last thoughts about Silly Zhu.
Even if the chef's income is good, I am afraid that he will not have much time and energy to take care of them.
Yi Zhonghai and his family are in their sixties, especially Yi Zhonghai, whose short beard and short hair are all white, and he has already started to receive a pension, and now he and his wife have begun to count their fingers to live, and they can't get up if they sleep one day.
At night, in the west wing of the middle courtyard, the old couple was lying on the kang and chatting, Yi Zhonghai sighed and said helplessly: "It seems that the pillar can't be counted on!" ”
"Yes, looking at Old Man Ran's body, it doesn't look like a tough one!" Aunt Yi also had a sad face: "But besides the pillar, who else can we find?" ”
Yi Zhonghai is also worried about this.
After thinking for a long time, he said: "Xu Damao is too cunning, selfish and selfish, it is definitely not possible to find him, Yushui will marry sooner or later, Lao Liu and Lao Yan's sons can't be counted on, and Qin Huairu is the most suitable." ”
"Qin Huairu?" An aunt asked suspiciously: "Isn't her mother-in-law still there?" ”
Yi Zhonghai said: "Although her mother-in-law is here, the contradiction between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been in trouble for almost ten years, and it has not been resolved until now. ”
"That's what I said, but can Qin Huairu agree? After all, it is not easy for her to pull a large family as a woman. "Aunt Yi's concerns are not unreasonable, the Jia family's family background is there,
Yi Zhonghai said: "The stick terrier has found a job, Huaihua is about to graduate, the three children have grown up, and the hard life of the Jia family is almost coming to an end." ”
"Where's the king of the front yard?" Aunt Yi suddenly asked.
Yi Zhonghai glanced at him and said, "We have no relatives and no reason with others, and we have no communication, why should people provide for us for the elderly?" ”
"Hey!" Aunt Yi's expression darkened when she heard this, and she sighed: "It seems that there is only Qin Huairu." ”
"After so many years, what is Qin Huairu's character, let's all see it, just by virtue of her pulling three children and a mother-in-law, she is better than the vast majority of people in this hospital."
"You're right!" An aunt also said with deep understanding: "Qin Huairu's character is not said. ”
"I just don't know if she's willing to do it!" An aunt was a little apprehensive, and now the matter of providing for the elderly has become a heart disease for the two of them.
"I'll talk to her later!" After being silent for a long time, Yi Zhonghai spoke again.
"That's all there is to it!"
The old couple has no children and no daughters in their lives, and they don't even have any children and nephews, and the only thing they are worried about is that they have nothing to rely on.
In the middle courtyard, the main house, the west house, a big kang from the window to the inner room, separated by a wooden cabinet in the middle, inside is a bedroom for two people, and three sons are sleeping outside, this is still in the 70s, the stupid pillar listened to Wang Chong's suggestion to change.
At that time, the deaf old lady had not died, and Yushui had never married, thinking that there would be many children in the family in the future, and seeing that Wang Chong's house was clean, tidy and beautiful, Silly Zhu went to the door to ask Wang Chong's opinion.
Wang Chong said, instead of trouble, it is better to build a big kang directly in the inner room, separated by a cabinet in the middle, and a curtain on the outside, just pass a flue to the back wall, and sleep warmly in winter, and save some coal.
There are many people sleeping on the kang in the courtyard, and the stupid pillar naturally knows the difference, but he was the only one in the family before, and he could bear it even in winter.
Silly Zhu's house is the main house in the courtyard, this courtyard was the prince's mansion before, the materials are the most solid, a few days ago the earthquake in addition to dropping a few tiles, poured two cabinets, dropped some dishes, and there was not much loss at home.
Silly Zhu left his father and mother, and Ran Qiuye was moved, so he naturally wanted to reward Silly Zhu, and he was worried that he would quarrel with the son next door, and the two of them could only wait until their son fell asleep before they could make love.
It was the height of summer again, and the weather was hot, but after a while, the two of them were already sweating profusely.
"After a few days of rest, let's take our parents to the hospital for a check-up!" After the clouds and rain, the two of them lay on their backs on the kang covered with straw mats, and the stupid pillar said while panting.
Ran Qiuye turned his head to look at the stupid pillar and said, "Wang Zhong suggested it?" ”
Silly Zhu also turned his head to look at Ran Qiuye, and looked at each other: "Hmm! Wang Zhong suggested that we take our parents to the hospital for regular check-ups, it is best to take a look at all the indicators, the old people are old, all kinds of problems have emerged, Dad is less than sixty, looking older than an uncle, and he has suffered a lot in recent years! ”
Speaking of this, Ran Qiuye's gaze couldn't help but be a little gloomy and sighed!
Silly Zhu couldn't help asking, "Is there any news from your brother and your brother?" ”
Ran Qiuye shook his head and said, "It's still the same." ”
Silly Zhu reached out and grabbed Ran Qiuye's hand, looked at Ran Qiuye and said seriously, "It'll be fine." ”
"Hmm!" Ran Qiuye nodded heavily.
In the front yard, in the east wing, on the bed, Qin Jingru snuggled in Wang Chong's arms with a satisfied smile.
Qin Jingru said: "My sister is coming to me today!" ”
Wang Chongdao: "What did you say?" ”
Qin Jingru said: "I just talked about the stick terrier, said that the stick terrier did a good job in the machinery factory, and the workers took good care of him, let me thank you for her!" ”
"And how are you going to thank you?" Wang Zhong looked down at Qin Jingru.
Ten years have passed, Qin Jingru is only thirty years old, not to mention pampering, but never have to worry about life, and Wang Zhong helps maintain it, not only the skin is white and smooth, but even the body is becoming more and more exquisite, and now the belly is getting bigger and bigger, not only does it not look bloated, but there is an alternative beauty.
With a look from Wang Chong, Qin Jingru knew what he was thinking, and he was not shy, and said to Wang Chong's gaze: "Didn't you thank you just now!" ”
"Is there one?" Wang Chong said, "Why don't I know? ”
"Death Phase!" Qin Jingru glanced at Wang Chong, his eyes were full of autumn water, and he was charming.
Wang Chong leaned over to Qin Jingru and whispered a few words in his ear, Qin Jingru couldn't help but glance at Wang Chong, and then took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss.
An hour later, the two people who came out of the bathroom lay back on the kang again, Qin Jingru didn't even want to say anything at this time, but Wang Chong said: "By the way, there is nothing going on in the factory recently, I plan to renovate the house again." ”
"Huh?" Qin Jingru's mouth was still sour at this time, and she really didn't want to speak, so she just hummed, with the meaning of inquiry.
Wang Zhong explained: "The wood at home is also placed, I plan to change the kitchen, and then customize a batch of hardware from the factory, by the way to test the new products in the factory." ”
"New products?" Qin Jingru couldn't help but be curious, and asked with pain.
Wang Zhong grinned: "You'll know when the time comes." ”
On the weekend, Wang Zhong called on the stupid pillar, the stick terrier, and a few young and strong neighbors in the front yard to help move the wood out of the house, get it to the wood processing factory, sawn it into two-centimeter-thick planks, 3x5 wooden squares, and then loaded the truck and brought it back to the courtyard.
Since you want to change the kitchen, you will inevitably use bricks, and Wang Zhong doesn't have to do this job himself.
The original wooden long case was moved to the warehouse, and the stove, pots and pans were temporarily moved to the bottom of the eaves, and there were two helpers with a stick and a stupid pillar, one was responsible for mixing grout and cement, and the other was responsible for moving bricks and sending them around.
There was only a two-meter-high, ninety-centimeter-wide doorway between the kitchen and the hall, and the day passed.
Wang Chong first made new doors and windows, and then smashed a square hole in the kitchen wall, and installed the range hood brought from the factory with prefabricated beams made of reinforced concrete.
Every day when I got home from work and worked for more than an hour, Rao took nearly two weeks to finish the kitchen at the speed of Wang Chong.
Most of the time was spent waiting for the paint to dry.
After the kitchen was remodeled, all the garbage was cleaned up, and after the sprinkling and sweeping was completed, looking at the newly renovated kitchen, Qin Jingru almost didn't drop his chin to the ground.
Under the west wall is a red brick stove board, a reinforced concrete countertop surrounded by a layer of smooth white tiles, a sink by the window, a board on the south side, and a cupboard on the west countertop.
Under the stage is the place where pots and pans, rice, flour, grain and oil are placed, and it is divided into multiple spaces.
On the table is a row of wooden cabinets, and the hidden door design is very novel.
After the corner, leaning against the south wall is two large and one small three stoves, above the stove is Wang Chong's new product, the first generation of domestic range hood, Wang Chong brought back this one, is a test product in the factory, just produced for a month.
"This is what you're talking about as a new product?" Qin Jingru asked curiously looking at the range hood above the stove.
Wang Chongdao: "This is called a range hood, as long as it is turned on, it can pump out all the oil and salt from the stir-frying." ”
"Range hood?" How could Qin Jingru have such a concept.
Wang Zhong pulled Qin Jingru to the stove and said with a smile: "I'll teach you how to use it." ”
Saying that, he taught Qin Huairu how to use it hand in hand, and that night, Qin Jingru couldn't wait to stir-fry in the newly completed kitchen, but was stopped by Wang Chong.
"The smell of paint on the doors and cabinets hasn't dissipated yet, anyway, it's not cold now, I'll talk about it later."
Looking at the remaining space in the kitchen and bathroom, Qin Jingru asked curiously, "What is left for above?" ”
Wang Chongdao: "Put the sundries that you don't use at home!" ”
Wang Zhong deliberately made the kitchen and toilet paper two meters and six high, leaving a space on the top for some obsolete furniture and unused sundries at home.
"Isn't there a storeroom at home?" Qin Jingru asked puzzled.
Wang Chongdao: "This in your belly should be born in a few months, and I am preparing for the future." ”
When Qin Jingru heard this, he immediately realized.
As soon as Wang Chong's kitchen was completed, Silly Zhu ran over to visit impatiently, especially after experiencing the effect of the range hood, he was immediately shocked.
As a cook, Silly Zhu is the most aware of the harm of oil smoke, why are most of the chefs fat head and big ears, full of fat belly, in addition to eating a lot, oil and water enough, and always smoke those oil smoke when stir-frying.
Not to mention the table with glossy white tiles, with two rows of cabinets made of old elm, the appearance is not too high.
Silly Zhudang even clamored that he would change his kitchen to the same as Wang Chong's house.
"Of course you can change it, let's not talk about the salary, do you know how much this range hood costs? And how much did it cost to spend on this wood? ”
As soon as Wang Chong said the price, Silly Zhu was immediately dumbfounded, and never mentioned the renovation of the kitchen again.
During the construction of the kitchen by Wang Chong, there was a big episode in the courtyard, and for this matter, Yan Fugui, the third master of the opposite door, and Wang Chong directly became enemies who did not get along with each other.
As for the reason, it has to be attributed to Yan Fugui himself.
Since beating Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, the three brothers and sisters, who came to forcibly demolish the earthquake shed in the courtyard, Yan Fugui and his wife were indeed disheartened for a few days before they cheered up.
But I don't want the first thing this third master to do after cheering up, not to teach the disobedient, unfilial, and selfish children, but to build a new earthquake shed with red bricks in front of his house and in the public area of the courtyard.
For this matter, he also deliberately went to the backyard, lobbied, and explained the second uncle's bangs, and the two of them quietly pulled all the bricks and cement over, and took the family to the old and young, and they didn't say hello to everyone, and they built it directly.
