Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 51 The Jia Family's Chaos

"Pearl seeds, peanuts, green bean cakes and White Rabbit milk candy..."

After seeing the snacks and candies, Chen Miaoyun couldn't help but say, "Zhu Zi, I know you feel sorry for Miao Zhi and the others, but how can you eat these things often? This... this is too..."

"Wife, this is not a waste of money. Miaozhi and Yushui love to eat it. Didn't you say that the mung bean cake is delicious? You know our family conditions, so we can afford it. Besides, we don't eat it often. We eat it every few days, which is enough."

Looking at the way his wife was managing the household, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel happy and responded with a smile.

Chen Miaoyun couldn't help but twitch her eyelids after hearing this. Look, what is this? Eating every now and then is not eating often? If someone else heard this, they would think Zhuzi was just being pretentious.

But Chen Miaoyun is now gradually starting to take care of the family's livelihood, and she knows that what Zhuzi said is not an exaggeration.

But after all, she had escaped from famine, so Chen Miaoyun attached great importance to food. People in later generations who had not experienced this era would never be able to empathize with her.

While talking, Chen Miaoyun's hands were not idle. She quickly packed up the things that Zhuzi bought and placed them in the solid wooden cabinet at home in an orderly manner. In a short while, all the large and small bags were packed up by Chen Miaoyun.

"Wife, don't pack it all up, take some out. Miaozhi is in the side room, I'll go call her over, and we'll eat first."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but envy her. Perhaps women were born with a talent for tidying up. In their small home, Chen Miaoyun always kept it tidy and everything was stored away properly.

"Let's eat together after Yu Shui finishes school. Miao Zhi is reading some of Yu Shui's old textbooks, so there's no rush."

Chen Miaoyun shook her head, as if after thinking for a while, she went to the cupboard and took out a blue-and-white porcelain plate, then put two pieces of mung bean cakes, two White Rabbit milk candies, and some melon seeds and peanuts on the plate, and placed them in four areas.

"Just eat this much, and save the rest for next time." After doing all this, Chen Miaoyun glanced at He Yuzhu with a slight vigilance.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but chuckle and touch his nose when he saw this: "Come on, come on, wife, I'll listen to you."

He Yuzhu himself was not too greedy. He bought these things mostly out of consideration for his wife and those two little greedy kids.

After saying that, He Yuzhu's eyes fell on Chen Miaoyun. Chen Miaoyun was now gradually losing her youthfulness and had a certain unspoken charm of growth. Subconsciously, He Yuzhu reached over.

Seeing that it suddenly became quiet, Chen Miaoyun was slightly startled. She looked up subconsciously and happened to meet Zhuzi's fiery eyes. How could she not understand what was going on!
"Good man! It's broad daylight now, and we don't know when the rain will come back."

Even though Chen Miaoyun was a new wife, a blush appeared on her face. She couldn't help but spit lightly and gently pinched Zhuzi's hand that came over.

He Yuzhu smiled when he saw this, and touched Chen Miaoyun's face: "Wife, what are you thinking about? It's broad daylight, what else can I do? I've been busy at the factory all day, and I miss you."

Upon hearing what happened above, Chen Miaoyun felt embarrassed and annoyed. However, when Zhuzi mentioned that he had been busy at the factory all day, Chen Miaoyun felt distressed.

"That's true, Zhuzi. You're in the kitchen, choking on the fumes, and you have to light the fire and carry the big pots and shovels. You must be careful not to get tired."

As she spoke, Chen Miaoyun pulled up Zhuzi and sat down on the sofa, and a pair of gentle hands began to massage Zhuzi's shoulders.

This young wife looks very good, which makes He Yuzhu very happy. In fact, after the blessing of the master-level cooking skills, He Yuzhu's cooking skills have become quite superb, and the physical consumption can be reduced a lot. If you say tired, yes, but it is just normal fatigue from work. If you really compare, any front-line worker in the factory workshop does more physical work than him.

Of course, in addition to the physical exertion, the biggest problem of working in the kitchen is the smell of oil smoke, onions and ginger. Even a master chef like He Yuzhu can't avoid the smell of onions, ginger and garlic after working in the kitchen all day.

After a long time, it will even have a kind of "body odor" from being marinated, so the smell in the kitchen is not that pleasant.

Fortunately, Chen Miaoyun discovered this problem as soon as she got married. Although He Yuzhu had paid some attention to it before, there was still a faint smell of onion and ginger on his body. But since Chen Miaoyun helped to wash the clothes, this smell gradually disappeared.

He Yuzhu can only attribute this to the fact that having a virtuous wife makes the family different.

He Yuzhu didn't let his wife pinch him for too long. He just pulled Chen Miaoyun to lie on the sofa and whispered something to her.

The newly married couple has just had a long time away from each other, so naturally they have endless secrets to talk about.

Soon, the sky outside changed, and it was almost time to get off work and school. He Yuzhu had almost finished his rest, so he got up and went to the stove to light the fire.

Chen Miaoyun didn't need to say much, she followed and after confirming the food to be cooked in the evening, she helped Zhuzi wash and pick the vegetables. He Yuzhu took this opportunity to go to the backyard and call the old lady.

These days, Yi Zhonghai and Auntie were involved in Qin Huairu's affairs, so naturally they had no time to take care of the old lady.

When He Yuzhu brought the old lady from the backyard to the middle yard, he also heard some quarrels coming from the Jia family, mostly the aggressive voice of Jia Zhang.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady's expression did not change much. She just said, "My dear grandson, don't have much contact with people like this in the future."

Although the current Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu have not yet evolved into their complete selves as in the original drama, how could the deaf old lady not see something from their series of behaviors after Jia Dongxu left?
As for He Yuzhu, even if the old lady didn't remind him, he would not have gotten involved in the Jia family's mess.

……

That night was another ordinary night.

Compared with the happy scene in the He family's house, the scene in the Jia family's house in the central courtyard was a mess.

After Yi Zhonghai and his wife sent Qin Huairu back, they wanted to have a chat with Jia Zhang.

But they were not on the same page. Perhaps because she felt guilty for not paying the medical expenses, or perhaps because she gave birth to a money-losing child, Jia Zhang had a quarrel with Yi Zhonghai and his wife. Qin Huairu, who was left with Sophora japonica, who was not even a month old, and the two children, cried until she ran out of tears in the house.
