Siheyuan.

Zhongyuan, Yi Zhonghai's house.

There were fish and meat on the table, as well as a bottle of white wine. There was also a small set of clothes on the bed in the back room, and the aunt had a bunch of red threads braided in her hands.

Outside, Qin Huairu walked in with little Sophora japonica in her arms. She looked at Yi Zhonghai talking to Yan Fugui and smiled, "Uncle Yan, you are here too."

Yan Fugui sat at the table with a smile on his face.

This time the Jia family wanted someone to get married, so naturally he, the titular eldest son of the courtyard, had to come and bear witness.

The most important thing is that you don’t have to pay for a visit and you can have a free meal.

This is already a rare opportunity in today's courtyard houses, and it gives him an opportunity to take advantage.

However, Yi Zhonghai agreed to the marriage, which was beyond his expectation. He had asked them to bring a child back and raise it many times before, and even the eldest mother agreed, but Yi Zhonghai always rejected it.

Unexpectedly, after this incident, Yi Zhonghai finally realized that although it was not maintenance, having a step-granddaughter could help him when he grew up.

Of course, it will take at least eighteen or nineteen years for this child to grow up. As for whether these two people can survive until then, haha.

"Here we go, it's such a big thing, why don't I come?"

Yan Fugui said with a smile, but mentally he despised Qin Huairu.

This marriage was agreed to be for old age, but in fact, it was because he had taken a fancy to Old Man Yi's house.

When the two of them kick off their legs, this house belongs to Xiaohuaihua.

He is very good at calculating, but it's a pity that he can't learn it at home.

"Where's the third aunt? Come over together, we bought a lot of vegetables this time."

Qin Huairu said generously, but Yan Fugui shook his head. It would be good if this woman could take advantage of her. If there were more people coming, she would definitely get her back.

"I still have children at home, but I'm coming over.

Qin Huairu was not polite. At this time, the aunt came over and held the little Sophora japonica in her arms.

In fact, in the courtyard, the child was often held and watched by her eldest mother, so compared to Jia Zhang's own grandmother, little Huaihua was closer to her eldest mother who often held her.

"Sophora flower is called dry milk."

"Milk~~"

The eldest mother was teasing the talking Sophora japonica. When she heard the cry, her heart opened up and she smiled.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this scene, he was inexplicably moved in his heart.

It's a pity that this child is not his biological child. Then he looked at Qin Huairu with more eagerness in his eyes.

He tried it last night and it still works.

"They're all here."

There was a sound outside the house, Liu Haizhong walked into the house, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, looking around, "I'm not too late."

"Hey, his second uncle, you can just come here. You also bring wine, so you can see more people."

The eldest mother is in a good mood and talks more.

Qin Huairu even stepped forward to take the bottle, and then placed it in front of Yan Fugui.

Seeing Yan Fugui's constipated appearance, Liu Haizhong felt comfortable.

Last time, the courtyard house had not solved the problem of Xu Damao's missing chicken, so the street office finally intervened, but there was no explanation for the result.

But something was lost in the courtyard, and he, as an uncle, was responsible. Finally, someone from the street office said a few words, which gave Liu Haizhong hope.

In addition, during this period of time, he gradually attracted some people with his "strong financial resources" in the backyard.

Of course, these people are just outsiders. If they were to face Yang Xiaotao, they would probably rebel. But when it comes to Yan Fugui, who has little capital, they still know which side to stand on.

Liu Haizhong sat down and all the important people in the courtyard were gathered. When Mrs. Jia and Zhang came over dragging their two children, they began to formally recognize their relatives.

Qin Huairu brought a box of biscuits, which was the best thing their family could bring out.

As for buying shoes for Yi Zhonghai and Auntie, they really can't afford them.

Aunt Ma and others also knew about the situation of Jia's family, so they didn't care. Instead, they put the clothes on Xiao Huaihua and tied the red string around Xiao Huaihua's wrist.

After everything was done, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang and the eldest mother took the children to the courtyard, leaving Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and the other three to drink.

Time has passed, and when the three of them drank again, they never expected that it would be like this.

For a moment, there was some silence on the table.

"Lao Yi, are you going back to the steel rolling mill?"

Liu Haizhong asked.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head. Now that he has been fired, he still wants to work in a steel rolling mill?

But it’s not bad to change the environment and do forced labor.

Yi Zhonghai comforted himself, "I don't know, it depends on the situation."

Liu Haizhong lowered his head and said nothing. Yan Fugui saw him and said, "There is quite a big fuss in the steel rolling mill. I heard that a new secretary has arrived."

Liu Haizhong frowned. He didn't know much about Secretary Wang, but he could tell that the senior management of the steel rolling mill seemed to be fighting.

This gave him hope of success.

The rolling mill finally had an official feel, and his research was finally going to be put to use.

"Let me tell you, this new secretary is clearly here to seize power."

Liu Haizhong became interested and began to analyze the situation of the steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai listened quietly. To him, it didn't matter who won or lost. The most important thing right now was the issue of pension.

Although Xiao Huaihua recognized it, Qin Huairu was still the main supporter.

However, Qin Huairu is now unable to protect herself.

"Huairu, how's your work going?"

The aunt opened her mouth to show concern, but Qin Huairu's face froze and she smiled forcefully, "I plan to go to the street office tomorrow to see if there are any odd jobs."

The eldest mother nodded, "That's okay. At least it can help subsidize the family's income. If you do more, I'll help you when the time comes."

Qin Huairu smiled, but Jia Zhang on the side curled her lips. This aunt has helped, how can she, the mother-in-law, not help?

It's just that my head hurts so bad when I do any work now.

As the three of them said this, it gradually started to get dark.

Yi Zhonghai and the other three also broke up and left with their own concerns.

People in the courtyard also began to discuss whether there were any interests behind this recognition.

Topics kept expanding one after another, and even the north wind couldn't blow them away.

At dusk.

The jeep was still running along.

Lao Ma has already changed a barrel of oil, but the speed is still not fast.

Not everything has been smooth sailing along the way.

The smell of blood on the car spread far away due to the northwest wind, and Yang Xiaotao saw two packs of wolves.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are more than a dozen, and there are only five or six, but they are all watching from a distance, not close to the front.

Perhaps the sight of similar corpses in the car made them realize that the people in the car were not easy to mess with, so they did not join in the fun.

This also made Yang Xiaotao realize why guns are not allowed in this era.

"Who would have thought that the wolves roaring past in groups of three to five now would become protected animals in a few decades?"

Yang Xiaotao held the car and moved his feet.

After standing for so long, especially in a bumpy state, my legs became numb more and more frequently.

"How much longer?"

Yang Xiaotao asked again. The surrounding area was deserted, and he suspected that he was going in the wrong direction.

"Soon!"

Lao Ma replied, "I was delayed for some time before, but I will be there in a while."

Lao Ma said, and Gao Yu on the side also explained.

"Many places here are saline-alkali lands or deserts. The places we choose for our farms are close to water sources, and there are dug ditches and karez wells."

"There are many farms in this area. As long as we go north and encounter one, we can find it back!"

Gao Yu explained, and Yang Xiaotao suddenly understood.

They are just trying their luck, and they don't know where their farm is.
