After getting off work in the evening, Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan talked about Ding Rushan's phone call, Ding Qiunan only thought about it a little after hearing it, and then nodded and agreed to go back to Sanhe on the weekend.

Speaking of which, Sanhe hasn't been back for a long time, and this time when he went back, his father-in-law specially explained that he asked Li Ping'an to bring some food, so naturally he had to prepare well.

After finishing his work, Li Ping'an drove a jeep out of the rolling mill, found an empty path, got out of the car to observe, and after seeing that there was no one around, Li Ping'an dodged into the space.

I rummaged through the pile of rags in Lou's house, and found a lot of rare things, bacon, ham, imported chocolate and Lou's father's treasured foreign wine.

Ding Rushan has been studying abroad for many years, and sending these things can be regarded as making the best use of them.

Looking at the back seat of the jeep full of good things, Li Ping'an sighed for a while, now that the news is cut off, I don't know how the Lou family is doing in Xiangjiang, this evacuation is so well prepared, carrying so much gold, their family went to Xiangjiang, life should be good.

In fact, as Li Ping'an guessed, the days of the Lou family running away this time were indeed comfortable, with a large amount of money in their hands, and with the help of relatives in Xiangjiang, they quickly gained a firm foothold, and Lou Xiao'e regained her life as a young lady who came to her clothes and stretched out her hands for food.

In the afternoon, Li Ping'an drove around Sijiu City with nothing to do, and when the time was almost over, he drove back to the rolling mill to pick up Ding Qiunan home.

Ding Qiunan looked at the big bag sitting in the back seat, and after knowing that this was something that he brought at Ding Rushan's request, Ding Qiunan's whole body exploded, and asked Li Ping'an to return the things with a black face, and this time he went back empty-handed.

Under Li Ping'an's good words, Ding Qiunan reluctantly agreed to bring things back, but asked to reduce the amount of things he brought back, he couldn't bring foreign wine or anything, and he could only bring two or three meals of bacon and the like.

Anyway, Ding Rushan and his wife are not their parents, Ding Qiunan, who is a girl, said so, Li Ping'an naturally would not refuse, and agreed to it.

The streamlined things are all good things, and they will naturally not keep it when they are taken out, so they let an aunt fry some of them that night, and the family also tasted the rare foreign wine of this year, Yi Zhonghai called out the foreign meat.

Early the next morning, Li Ping'an got up early in the morning and drove a jeep and took Ding Qiunan straight to Sanhe.

This time it set off relatively early, and at more than ten o'clock, Li Ping'an's jeep stopped at the door of Ding Rushan's house.

The two of them carried things into the house, and Ding Rushan and his wife saw that their daughter and son-in-law were back, so they hurriedly greeted them warmly, and greeted the two of them with a cold greeting.

Facing his father-in-law, Li Ping'an naturally nodded and smiled with a smile on his face, and Ding Qiunan was angry with Ding Rushan, facing his father's hush and warmth, with a black face and an unhappy look.

Seeing his daughter's black face, Ding Rushan didn't see it, this little padded jacket is not intimate at all, doesn't he just want to go to the third line of work, what is this, as for halving the living expenses to embarrass people.

"Virtuous son-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go, my chessboard is all up, let's play chess, and I'll hand over lunch to your mother" When the things were put down, Ding Rushan pulled Li Ping'an to the hall, and when he left, he gave his wife who was talking to Ding Qiunan a look.

Ding's mother received the look, nodded to Ding Rushan faintly, and then smiled and pulled Ding Qiunan back to the house on the grounds of explaining the precautions for pregnancy.

Seeing that the door of the inner room was closed, Ding Rushan didn't mention playing chess anymore, and said in a aggrieved whisper: "Virtuous son-in-law, your father is having a hard time now, since the living expenses have been halved, my life with your mother has taken a sharp turn this month, and I can't afford to eat meat."

The interaction between the old couple just now, the corner of Li Ping'an's eyes swept clearly, and now when he saw Ding Rushan selling miserably with himself, he immediately understood that today's main dish was coming.

Li Ping'an knew what his father-in-law meant, and he just wanted to add his monthly living expenses, but now that Ding Qiunan is pregnant and emotionally unstable, without her nod, Li Ping'an didn't dare to be the master, so he could only play Tai Chi with his father-in-law:

"Dad, Qiu Nan told me about this, now Qiu Nan is just angry, you can bear with it any longer, just wait for Qiu Nan's anger to disappear."

Seeing that his virtuous son-in-law was not in the trap, Ding Rushan chose to continue to sell miserably.

"Your mother and I are both old, you know the situation at home before, at that time, I was often hungry and full, your mother fell into the root of the disease, that is, after Qiu Nan and you got married, this is the body to take care of, two days ago your mother was a little dizzy, I gave your mother a check, and there were signs of recurrence of the root of the disease at that time"

In the face of the miserable sale of the old father-in-law, Li Ping'an listened with a worried face on the surface, and did not believe a word of these words in his heart, his father-in-law Li Ping'an knew very well, if the mother-in-law was really the same as what he said, he would definitely let Li Ping'an take Ding's mother to check, and then confidently let Ding Qiunan give living expenses.

Now deliberately split Ding Qiunan and sold himself miserably, which means that Ding's mother has nothing to do, and she is completely letting herself make peace with Ding Qiunan and recover her living expenses.

Ding Rushan looked at Li Ping'an's face, and thought that Li Ping'an believed his words, so he performed harder, wiping the corners of his eyes from time to time, wiping away the tears that didn't exist, and looking like he cared about his wife.

This scene, coupled with Ding Rushan's description, can be said to be sad to hear the tears of the listener, if Li Ping'an didn't understand the situation, he would really believe his words.

At the end of the hard performance, Ding Rushan looked at his son-in-law who looked distressed, thinking that he believed what he said, so he said with an expectant face: "Virtuous son-in-law, you also understand the situation at home, look at Qiu Nanna"

"Dad, you also know Qiu Nan's temper, she has a very good idea, I really don't dare to tell her about this, why don't you tell her about it yourself after Qiu Nan comes out?" Li Ping'an said tentatively.

Ding Rushan, who was still expecting Li Ping'an, was completely disappointed now, he said it was so miserable, Li Ping'an was still unwilling to help, if Ding Qiunan could believe in himself, then still use you?

"Hmph"

Ding Rushan snorted coldly, too lazy to talk to Li Ping'an, flicked his sleeves and got up, sat down on the sofa next to him alone, picked up a cup of herbal tea, and sulked.

Before making that call to Li Ping'an, the old couple of the Ding family discussed it, and the old couple agreed that the man was thin-skinned, and that it was the first time that he, the old man, spoke to him, he would definitely let Ding Qiunan raise his living expenses, and no matter how bad it was, he would secretly help a little.

Who knew that this rebellious son-in-law, oil and salt did not enter, and his father-in-law said that he was so pitiful, not only did he not help himself raise his living expenses, but he didn't even say anything.

Ding Rushan, who was sitting on the single sofa, was angry with Li Ping'an for a while, and then began to think about his future with a sad face, Ding Qiunan is his daughter, and she naturally understands Ding Qiunan's character.

Since I swore that I would halve my living expenses if I didn't work, I would definitely continue to implement it.

Ding Rushan, who has no other way, can only think about the work that his daughter said now.

Here Li Ping'an looked at Ding Rushan sulking, and Li Ping'an didn't rush to comfort him, but came to Ding Rushan's bookshelf to check his collection of books.

Compared with the past, the current bookshelf seems empty, and the traditional Chinese medicine books on the former bookshelf have disappeared without a trace, and I don't know whether Ding Rushan hid it or burned it.

I wanted to ask my father-in-law, but when I saw that my father-in-law was still angry, I dispelled this idea, and picked up a book on Western medicine and read it.

To say that modern Chinese medicine is really ill-fated, several large-scale abolition of traditional Chinese medicine, burning so many traditional Chinese medicine books, and the inheritance was almost cut off, in this case, it can still survive, and usher in a recovery, it is really a small strong who can't be killed.

Soon Ding Qiunan and Ding's mother came out of the back room, their expressions were normal, it seemed that the mother-in-law did not sell miserably with Ding Qiunan, just a normal mother-daughter chat.

"Isn't Dad going to play chess with you? Why did you pick up a medical book and read it? Ding Qiunan saw that Li Ping'an was reading a medical book, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Putting down the medical book, Li Ping'an mouthed in the direction of Ding Rushan, and said: "Our dad has something to tell you, thinking that when you want to talk about something, I will take the book and read it myself."

Listening to Li Ping'an's words, Ding Qiunan threw an inquiring look at Ding Rushan.

Seeing his daughter come over, Ding Rushan hated Li Ping'an in his heart, and he didn't say anything about it, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a loving look: "It's okay, I'm all trivial, it's okay to say it or not."

Ding Qiunan knows his father's personality very well, and he can probably guess what he can do by looking at the appearance of the two of them, but he didn't break it, and accompanied his mother to the kitchen to cook today's lunch.

When he came to the kitchen, Ding Qiunan, who was still smiling, immediately darkened his face, and at today's noon family banquet, the staple food was pure cornmeal, a few potatoes, and two tomatoes, and nothing else.

"Nan Nan, the living expenses you gave this month have been spent, and you really don't have the money to buy meat when you come back safely, this is the best thing my father and I can come up with" Looking at Ding Qiunan's face, Ding's mother said apologetically.

For Ding's mother's words, Ding Qiunan didn't believe in a single punctuation mark, not to mention whether they had saved money when they had 20 yuan a month for living expenses, even if it was ten yuan a month, it was enough for the old couple to be sick or sick.

Today's play is completely selling miserably in front of Ding Qiunan, and wants Ding Qiunan to raise the cost of living again. Ding Qiunan was angry, looking at his mother who was fighting psychological warfare with him, Ding Qiunan made up his mind that he must let his father go out to work.

Ding Rushan has just turned 50 now, and the state stipulates that the retirement age is 60 years old, and for doctors, 50 years old is the best age.

Now that I finally have the opportunity to return to my post, I can't miss it.

After making up his mind, Ding Qiunan showed a smiling face: "It's okay, it's good, it's time to eat, let's cook quickly."

Ding's mother saw her daughter's appearance, her heart sank, it seems that this time she is serious, if Ding Rushan doesn't go to work, this living expenses will really be ten yuan, Ding's mother began to make lunch in a complicated mood.

The scene in the kitchen, the two people outside are naturally not clear, at this time on the sofa in the living room, Ding Rushan glared at Li Ping'an angrily, wanting Li Ping'an to speak.

Li Ping'an, who was stared at by his father-in-law, finally couldn't help but put down the book in his hand, and sneered: "Dad, this time Qiu Nan really made up her mind, and explained to me early in the morning, I think you should go to work, it's far away, you can come back when you retire, and as long as you go to work, we will give you 20 living expenses every month."

"Don't go, there's nothing in the third line, I drill in the ravine every day, what's the use of asking for money? It's not impossible for me to work, I'm in Trois-Rivières, and I don't go anywhere else."

"Then you better wait for Qiu Nan to come out and talk to Qiu Nan, I can't be the master of this matter" Li Ping'an said, picking up the medical book again and reading it.

Ding Rushan saw that Li Ping'an gave up persuasion like this, and he also picked up the newspaper angrily and read it.

Soon, Ding Qiunan came out of the kitchen with the dishes and beckoned the two of them to eat.

Li Ping'an came to the dining table, saw a plate full of potatoes and tomatoes and the pure cornmeal nest next to him, and immediately understood the plan of the old couple, didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

The lunch table was very quiet, only the sound of moving chopsticks, Ding's father and Ding's mother frequently used eye contact at the dinner table, Li Ping'an noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and he didn't speak, bowed his head and silently pulled the food in his bowl.

Finally, Father Ding couldn't help it, and took the initiative to speak: "Qiu Nan, what kind of life did I live with your mother at home, you have also seen it with your own eyes, your mother is not in good health, you also know that she needs to supplement nutrition, and ten yuan a month is too little, which is not enough for the two of us to live."

"That's right, Qiu Nan, your mother and I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so you can still pay the living expenses every month according to the original."

Ding Qiunan swallowed the food in his mouth by himself, and then slowly spoke: "Yes, the living expenses can be restored to the original, but Dad must go to the third line to work"

Ding Rushan was reluctant to go to the third line in that place, and when he heard that he still let himself go to the third line, he was naturally full of unwillingness, and counted the three lines at the dinner table. Ding's mother naturally didn't want to go, and followed Ding's father to complain to Ding Qiunan.

Listening to the two of them chattering about the bad of the third line, Ding Qiunan was really angry, slammed the table, and said toughly: "Why is the third line bad, what I am looking for you is the hospital that has been built, where to be a doctor, and not to let my father go to the construction site, this third line must go, you hurry up and pack your things, ready to go at any time"
