Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 57 Unexpected Visitors

Liang Huandi was obviously irritated by Ma Qing's words. "Yes, I am looking for men everywhere. What can I do? I am a woman raising four children. Do you know how I live?"

When Liang Huandi said this, she raised her head proudly. "I am Liang Huandi, a key member of the welding workshop, a level 5 welder. My salary is more than 50 yuan per month, which is higher than most men in the factory."

"But I am an orphan. There is no one left in my deceased husband's family. No one helps us. We have no relatives in the countryside. The ration for four children is only 15 kilograms per month, which is not enough for them to eat. We are hungry every day and shout to me every day: Mom, I am hungry."

Speaking of this, Liang Huandi's eyes were red. "My monthly salary only needs 10 yuan to buy the rationed food for the whole family, and I can still save more than yuan of salary, but this money can only buy more than ten kilograms of rice at the market to buy untied food."

"I'm looking for a man everywhere, not to exchange my body for food, I want to find a father for my children and form a complete family. Someone who can share the children's food with me. If you treat me as an improper woman and think you can sleep with me by giving me food and money, you're dreaming." Liang Huandi shouted angrily.

Ma Qing stood there blankly, looking at the tears welling up in the eyes of the woman in front of him, his heart was deeply shocked.

In fact, Ma Qing had no extra thoughts about improving the food for Damao's children. Ma Qing had watched too many period dramas in his previous life, and he came up with a paradox of period dramas.

If a man has sex with a woman, especially if he makes her pregnant, then the man must marry her; even if a woman is raped by a man, especially if he makes her pregnant, then the woman can only marry this man. In short, as long as they have sex, they have to get married.

Ma Qing, who holds a space artifact and can enjoy a superior modern life every night, absolutely stays away from the idea of ​​getting married.

"Comrade Liang Huandi, Sister Liang, I am only 18 years old. I really have no intention of doing anything with you. I gave food to Damao and the others because I have a good family background and I get along well with the children."

Ma Qing suddenly recalled the scene of Liang Huandi's heaving chest and tearful face. He suddenly felt angry and said, "If you think this is not good, I won't bring them any food in the future."

After saying that, Ma Qing turned around and left. Liang Huandi obviously didn't know what to say next, so she just watched Ma Qing walk further and further away.

Time passed quickly, and the winter vacation at the end of 62 arrived as scheduled. Ma Qing and several classmates finished their work-study program for that semester, returned to school, took exams, and then went on vacation.

Ma Qing sat in the courtyard of his home, looking at the snow outside the window. His whole body was cold, except for two places.

Ma Qing felt something was not right. Ever since he noticed the shape of Liang Huandi's breasts last time, this body seemed to have been fully developed. Well, she was already 18 years old, she had enough nutrition, she could eat as much seafood as she wanted, and Uncle Chen would greet her every morning when she woke up.

Although Ma Qing had never been married in his previous life, he had eaten a lot of meat. Now, suddenly, his humanity has returned to this body, and he feels very uncomfortable.

Food, sex and nature are all part of human nature. Ma Qing's young body has completely matured, and certain needs of his lower body have emerged. However, Ma Qing's brain is extremely resistant to the idea of ​​getting married and having children. On the one hand, he was afraid of getting married and having children in his previous life. Entering into married life, the responsibilities are too great, and this pressured Ma Qing to avoid it all the time.

On the other hand, the superior life in the space cannot be shared with others. This secret must be taken to the grave. If a partner appears in life, how can one go into the space to enjoy air conditioning, drink beer, eat clams, barbecue, and play games? It is unimaginable to give up the life in the space for that thrill.

Ma Qing's mind was in a mess, and various plans were spinning in his mind, but he could not find a real solution. Annoyed, Ma Qing took off his shirt, ran to his yard, and rubbed snow on his body. It was not bad to take a snow bath at this time.

When Ma Qing was taking a bath and shouting, there was a knock on the door. "Ma Qing, someone is looking for you." It was the voice of the Third Uncle. "Come here, come here, Third Uncle, what do you want from me?" Ma Qing quickly put on his clothes and opened the door. Standing outside the door were Yan Bugui and another person who was completely unexpected to Ma Qing - Liang Huandi. Ma Qing was a little stunned, "What are you doing..."

"Ma Qing, this female comrade said she is your co-worker in the machine repair factory and she wants to see you for something, so I brought her here. Look..."

"Yes, this is a co-worker from our machine repair factory. Thank you, Uncle Three. Sister Liang, what are you doing..." Ma Qing turned and asked Liang Huandi.

"Qing'er, it's fine if he's your co-worker. I'll go back first. It's too cold today." Yan Bugui interrupted.

"Please take care. You've worked so hard." While seeing Yan Bugui off, Ma Qing invited Liang Huandi into the yard. Ma Qing closed the gate, but Liang Huandi paused as she was about to enter the house. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she quickly walked into Ma Qing's house.

Ma Qing felt puzzled. What did this woman come to her house for? Ma Qing followed her into the house and quickly turned on the stove. The temperature in the house rose again. Ma Qing looked at Liang Huandi who was wearing a cotton coat and said, "Sister Liang, it's warm in the house. If you feel hot, you can take off your coat and hang it up."

"Ah, take off your coat, oh, coat." Liang Huandi seemed to be in a bad state. Ma Qing began to think about whether he should take advantage of her misfortune and eat some meat.

Liang Huandi took off her coat and sat down again. She stared at the stove with her hands and feet stretched towards it, but she didn't say a word.

"Sister Liang, how did you find this place?"

"I found out from asking around. It's really cold today. I walked a lot. Let me take a break."

Apart from a few of my classmates in the machine repair factory, only the people in the factory-run company knew the addresses of us working students. It seemed that either my adopted sons betrayed me, or the people in the factory-run company leaked my home address.

Ma Qing had no choice but to keep silent. He poured a glass of water for Liang Huandi and took a steamed bun to roast by the stove.

"You must be exhausted, so drink some water and eat a steamed bun to fill your stomach." Ma Qing thought that Liang Huandi was a ruthless person. The machine repair factory was more than 20 kilometers away, and it was so cold that she must have suffered a lot. It seemed that she had encountered some big trouble.

"I'm here to borrow some food. I really have no other choice. Please help me."

"Just for some food, you ran so far here. You can't find anyone to help you in such a big machine repair factory?" Ma Qing found it a little unbelievable.

"I don't know, I don't know who else I can turn to. Nan Rong won't help me. He only has Ding Donglan (the factory beauty's name has become this?) in his heart. There are other men, but they all want to take advantage of me. No one wants to marry me because they are afraid of becoming the father of four children. And there are other workers in the factory. I get the highest salary in the factory, but I can't make ends meet. Who else can I turn to? There's no one to borrow money from. No one to borrow money from." Liang Huandi repeated her words.

Ma Qing was speechless. Liu Haizhong stepped on a bug and only got 55 kilograms of food ration a month, which was enough for the whole adult family. Liang Huandi was a level welder and her four children were all under ten years old.

According to the current northern general population and children over ten years old, it is 24-28.5 kilograms; children over six years old but under ten years old, it is 18-23 kilograms; children over three years old but under six years old, it is 12-17 kilograms. According to this standard, Liang Huandi's family of five consumes about 90 kilograms of food per month, and the food does not contain meat, oil or sugar. This amount of food is definitely not enough.
