When Yang Ruoqing arrived at the entrance of Han's courtyard, she heard sounds similar to a quarrel coming from the house.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised. Quarreling? The Han family is famous for its harmony in the whole village.

Yang Ruoqing is hesitating whether to go in. Will going in at this time embarrass everyone?

Just when she was about to turn around and leave, the door behind her opened with a creak, and Yuzhi came out of the hall, covering her mouth with her hands and crying.

The two people's eyes met, and both of them were embarrassed.

"Qing'er, you, why are you here? Do you have anything to do with me?" Yuzhi put down her hand and asked.

Now that everything was discovered, Yang Ruoqing turned around gracefully and said to Yuzhi: "I do have something to discuss with you, but is it convenient for you now?"

She glanced into the room and asked, Yuzhi understands this.

Yuzhi also turned around and looked at the quiet room behind her, and smiled sheepishly at Yang Ruoqing, "We're not really quarreling. It's convenient. Qing'er, come in."

"I won't go into the house, let's go to the kitchen to talk." Yang Ruoqing said.

Yuzhi nodded, "I'll get you a bowl of tea..."

"No need to bother, I'll leave as soon as I'm done. I still have things to do at home." Yang Ruoqing said, and the two of them immediately entered the kitchen.

Yang Ruoqing got straight to the point and explained her purpose, "Xiaoqin has a bit of a bad relationship with her parents-in-law. They have been quarreling these past few days, so I arranged for her to live in the school. By the way, the school is also short of a school caretaker."

"Xiaoqin definitely can't do it alone. She's afraid. Let me ask you. It would be much better if the two of you went to live in the school together."

"If you are a school caretaker, there is another salary. Thirty cents per night. You can discuss it with your family and see if it's feasible?" Yang Ruoqing said.

Yuzhi's face showed surprise and asked Yang Ruoqing: "Do you go to school when the sun sets and go down the mountain at dawn the next day?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

The surprise on Yuzhi's face was even worse, "If the man in my family has something to do, or the children have something to do and I can't go, can my mother-in-law go instead of me?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded again.

Yuzhi stood up in surprise, "Qing'er, it's such a good thing, thank you for thinking about me again, I'll go, I'll go!"

Yang Ruoqing was also very happy, but she still looked outside the kitchen: "You can't sleep at home at night. Can you really agree to this without discussing it with your parents-in-law first?"

Yuzhi said: "My parents-in-law have gone to catch locusts in the fields, and they will have to wait a while before they can come home. I will just tell them when they come home. Don't worry, they won't object!"

Life at home had just started to improve a little bit when we were hit by an insect plague.

My family has been worried about the insect infestation these days. The rice jar is almost at the bottom, and there are only about ten kilograms of wheat flour left.

Now the family's livelihood almost entirely falls on her shoulders. Fortunately, she is still working on the herb collection team, otherwise, the family would really have to go out to beg for food.

"Yuzhi, I heard you and your man were quarreling earlier. You have to spend the night there to visit the school. I think you should discuss it with him again and ask him what he wants."

Mentioning the previous quarrel, Yuzhi's face turned slightly red.

"Qing'er, I won't hide it from you. In fact, we had a few arguments just now, but it was not because of anything else. This is what happened..."

"Aren't locusts coming? Everyone is saying that they will have to rest on their laurels this year. My family doesn't have much rice and wheat flour."

"My husband started eating only one meal a day, a steamed bun, a few days ago. He said he wasn't hungry."

"He was not in good health to begin with, but the food he eats at home has improved a bit recently. He can eat one egg and two taels of pork belly every day, and his body and bones are obviously better."

"Now, the pork belly will definitely not be eaten. He said that he doesn't want to eat the eggs either and will give them to the children."

"Seeing that his body has collapsed again in the past few days, I became anxious. I just made two poached eggs and sent them to his house to try to replenish his health."

"He's a heartless person who doesn't want to eat. He also scolds me, saying that I don't know how to run a house and waste things. I'm so angry that I just complained to him and ran out of the house, making you laugh."

…

In Yuzhi Man's room, his man was sitting on the bed. There was a bowl on the small stool beside the bed, and a pair of chopsticks beside the bowl.

When Yang Ruoqing came in, she saw that the brown sugar poached eggs in the bowl had not been touched. The man was leaning on the bedside, sighing and frowning.

There was worry and a little guilt on his face.

"You obviously feel sorry for something, but you still want to use harsh words to irritate Yuzhi. Are you regretting it now?"

A crisp voice reached his ears. The man raised his eyes and saw Yang Ruoqing entering the room with a smile, followed by Yuzhi who lowered his head and looked a little squirmy.

The man's face was full of surprise and embarrassment.

He raised his hand and scratched his head, and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, you, you heard everything?"

Yang Ruoqing glared at him and did not answer his words, but looked at the bowl of brown sugar poached eggs.

"Yuzhi made it specially for you, why don't you eat it?" she asked.

The man said: "The great famine is coming soon. Give these good things to the two children. Wouldn't it be a waste to give them to a loser like me?"

"I told you before, each of the two children ate a boiled egg today," Yuzhi poked his head out from behind Yang Ruoqing and said to the man.

"Children don't need to eat so many eggs a day. Even the two children of Qing'er's family are like this. Why can't you listen?" Yuzhi asked again.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yuzhi is right, it is enough for a child to eat one boiled egg every day."

The man said: "Since the two children don't need to eat, then Yuzhi, you come and eat it. You follow the herb collection team up the mountain to collect herbs. You are too tired. You can eat to regain some strength."

Yuzhi shook his head, "I don't like poached eggs. I feel like vomiting after eating them."

This lie... Yang Ruoqing looked up at the low roof beams.

Well, I can't hear this too profound lie...

On the bed, Yuzhi man continued: "You just lied, do you really think I can't hear it? You are reluctant to eat it."

Yuzhi said: "I'm in good health, so I don't need to eat these. You really need to replenish your health."

The man from Yuzhi said: "Then give it to my parents. They are tired enough. Anyway, I won't eat even if I'm beaten to death. I'm just a useless person. Whatever you give me is a waste of food."

"The great famine is coming, please leave me alone and save your lives first..."

"What ridiculous things are you saying? Are you saying this in front of Qing'er with the intention of making me angry to death?" Yuzhi's tears fell down.

When the Yuzhi man saw Yuzhi crying, he panicked and sat on the bed at a loss.

Yuzhi was also wiping away tears, and the couple fell into embarrassment.

Yang Ruoqing took one look at the formation and knew it was time for her to take the field again.

"You two, don't push me back and forth." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Come on, Yuzhi, come here," Yang Ruoqing pulled Yuzhi to the bed, then pointed to the brown sugar poached eggs in the bowl,

"These two poached eggs are my treat. I will make the decision. You two will each have one. You will eat them both in front of me. If you eat them, you are not allowed to quarrel anymore. It will hurt the harmony!"
