Chapter 238 Qin Huairu, who wants good things

The courtyard house is still the same courtyard house, and the neighbors' temperaments have never changed. Although the courtyard house is less lively without Suning, their lives remain the same as usual.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, hurriedly approached Yi Zhonghai and said, "First uncle, I heard that Sha Zhu adopted two children from the orphanage!"

"What? Didn't his wife Zhang Ning just give birth to a boy not long ago?"

"Yeah! I was wondering that too!

Today, the director of the neighborhood welfare home came to our school to process the enrollment procedures for several children, and I heard about it from her."

"This idiot Zhu's current salary is 120 yuan, which is higher than me, the deputy director!

But you can't waste money like this, right?"

"Uncle, this is not a waste of money at all!
We have been neighbors for many years, but he would rather adopt a child of unknown origin than take any care of us old neighbors!

Lao Yi, we can't allow Sha Zhu to do this!"

"Huh? Uncle Third, you make sense!
But now Sha Zhu has moved out of this courtyard.

We can't control it even if we want to! " Hearing Yan Bugui's thoughts, Yi Zhonghai smacked his lips helplessly.

Qin Huairu, who had been paying attention to the conversation between Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, felt a little angry when she heard that Su Ning would rather adopt a child from an orphanage than take care of their family.

"Uncle Yi, I was just about to tell you something! And Uncle San is here too!"

"Huai Ru, what do you want to say?"

"Uncle One, Uncle Three, I've noticed that the deaf old lady in the backyard is getting worse and worse. I don't think she'll last much longer!
I was wondering if the old lady could leave the house to Bang Geng after she passed away."

"What?" Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui both widened their eyes in shock, staring blankly at Qin Huairu in front of them.

"I, I have no other options!

Two uncles, you all know the situation of our family.

The stalks are getting bigger and bigger, and our house is really no longer big enough to accommodate us!" Seeing Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui's shock, Qin Huairu pretended to be pitiful and started crying!

"Hey! Huairu, I know your family is having a hard time!

If you really want the old lady's house, I can talk to her about it for you!
But you have to buy the old lady a better coffin, so that I can ask for it!"

"This"

When Qin Huairu heard the request of the old man Yi Zhonghai, he thought that this was the lowest cost, but when he had to take out the money for a good coffin, Qin Huairu was reluctant to spend it.

Qin Huairu had a face full of conflict and reluctance, which Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui saw clearly. They felt helpless about Qin Huairu's intention of only taking advantage and not willing to give anything in return.

Jia Zhang, who was lying on the window observing the situation outside, found it difficult to accept Yi Zhonghai's request and ran out angrily.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

I’m so old, but I still don’t have a good funeral gift!

How could I possibly buy it for a deaf old lady? Don’t even think about it!

"Mom, aren't we discussing the house?"

"That's enough! Is it worth it for us to do this for the deaf old lady's shabby house?"

"Since my sister-in-law doesn't agree, let's not mention this matter anymore!" Uncle Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly.

Suning also learned from Ma Hua that Qin Huairu wanted a house, but he just smiled disdainfully and helped the deaf old lady solve all the problems.

The neighbors in the courtyard were also very surprised and envious when they saw Suning take action. Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang saw Suning's behavior and knew that they no longer had the opportunity to take advantage.

The deaf old lady was very surprised and relieved that Suning had done his best to take care of her upcoming funeral affairs. Then, in her last moments, she held Suning's hand and was reluctant to let go.

After sending the deaf old lady away, Suning breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. He finally didn't need to have anything to do with this courtyard anymore. Looking at the neighbors who were taking advantage of him, Suning was really disgusted.

Now that there are four children in the family, Zhang Ning will no longer feel bored, but will take care of the four little ones with Suning every day.

Su Ning didn't know that Lou Xiaoe had given birth to twins for him, and thought it was still a son like in the original drama, so Su Ning named the two children he had just adopted, a boy and a girl, He Jingtai and He Jingxue.

An old man named Yi Zhonghai also came to Suning to see the children adopted by Suning. He was also surprised when he found out that Suning had adopted three instead of two.

Looking at the complicated expressions on Yi Zhonghai and Auntie's faces, Suning was too lazy to try to figure out their mentality. After all, everyone had their own ideas, and it was not easy for Suning to force them.

The children adopted by Suning and Zhang Ning were all babies, because Suning knew that raising a child was troublesome, and it was even more troublesome to raise a child from a baby. However, if you adopt an adult child just to save trouble, you may encounter an ungrateful person like Bang Geng.

Although Suning has never thought that his child will repay him when he grows up, it is best not to meet an ungrateful person, so Suning still hopes to raise the child himself from childhood.

Because of the idea of favoring boys over girls, there are actually most girls in the welfare home. According to Suning, there is nothing wrong with adopting girls. Maybe the director of the welfare home was embarrassed to do so, so he suggested that Suning adopt a boy and a girl.

Together with his own biological son He Jingshan, the four little guys were all plump and white. After discussing with Zhang Ning, he put the adoption procedures of the three adopted children directly into the storage space, saying that the children were all his own and their ages could be staggered.

In order to speak with one voice, Suning and others discussed and decided that the eldest daughter He Jinghui, the second daughter He Jingshan, the third daughter He Jingtai (later changed to He Jingmin) and the fourth daughter He Jingxue were twins.

"Brother, tell me, there's something wrong with you!

Why would you bother adopting an orphan when you already have your own children?!"

"He Yushui, how can you talk like that?
I seem to have told you that the children are your sister-in-law and I’s biological children!

Why can't you remember it? "

"Huh? The child is still so young! How would he know?"

"He Yushui, I'm worried that you've gotten used to it!

When the child grows up, he will be able to say it out loud!"

"How is that possible! I'm not stupid!"

Looking at his silly sister He Yushui, Suning also felt helpless. After all, she was his biological sister in this world, and Suning had no other good solution.

After Suning's careful teaching, Zhang Ning became more and more adept at taking care of the children and was no longer as flustered as at the beginning.

A salary of 120 yuan is not a big deal to support four children and two adults, so the Suning family still lives a very comfortable life.

Besides, Suning also has a system bug in storage space. When you have nothing to do, you can go to the canteen warehouse and you will have food supplies for the whole family.

For a 50-kilogram bag of flour, Suning would secretly use the storage space to collect five or six kilograms from each bag, so it would not be discovered by outsiders. Of course, Suning seldom did this. After all, his salary was very high and he did not need to rely on space to take shortcuts.

Time flies, and it is already 1973. The eldest, He Jinghui, is already six years old, He Jingshan is also five years old, and the youngest, He Jingtai and He Jingxue, are already four years old, which is the most mischievous age in their lives.

Every day Zhang Ning is tormented by her four children. Fortunately, Suning's work at the steel rolling mill is not busy and her colleagues are not too particular about Suning's attendance, so they have plenty of time to help Zhang Ning take care of the children.

The most important thing is that Zhang Ning's younger siblings, Erdan and Sanya, have grown up and become sensible. They no longer need Su Ning and the others to worry about them, so they can focus more on the four little ones.

"What's wrong?" Su Ning looked at Zhang Ning in confusion.

"Brother, I think I'm pregnant again!"

"Ah? Haha! That's great!"

"Brother, we already have four children in our family now.

What if there is another one?" Unlike Suning's surprise, Zhang Ning became a little worried.

"Haha, it's okay! I just like children. The more the better!"

"Dad, am I going to have a little brother soon?" The youngest He Jingxue looked at Su Ning innocently.

"Yes! Xiaoxue, you'll have a little brother soon!"

“Oh~ that’s great!
I'm finally not the youngest anymore!
Second brother will never bully me again!"

"What? Your second brother bullied you?"

"Yeah! My second brother is so bad! He always steals my candy!"

Su Ning looked at He Jingshan who was just sitting there doing some soy sauce. "Xiaoshan, my sister said you stole her candy. Is that true?"

"Dad, Xiaoxue doesn't like sweets.

She hides a lot of the candies you give us every day, so I’ll help her eat a few!”

"Asshole! Come here! Lift your ass up!"

When He Jingshan heard that his father Suning was about to hit him, he quickly jumped into Zhang Ning's arms and said, "Mom, Dad is going to hit me!"

"You deserve it! Who told you to steal your sister's candy!" Zhang Ning would not spoil her child's bad habits.

Seeing that his mother didn't protect him, the five-year-old He Jingshan was really scared. Facing his father's stern eyes, He Jingshan begged for mercy, "Dad, I won't dare to do it again next time! Please forgive me!"

“Xiaoshan, if you make a mistake, you must be punished!

I have to give you a beating today so you'll learn your lesson!"

Suning treated all four children equally and never showed any favoritism. When He Jingshan made a mistake, Suning did not think that he was young and ignorant and planned to condone his small mistake. He hit him hard on the buttocks with a belt several times.

This kind of life is really happy. For Suning, it is a kind of enjoyment. He does not need to work hard for three meals a day like in the real society. He just needs to live a peaceful and happy life with his wife and children.

Suning knew that Hong Kong was in a period of rapid development in 1973, and Lou Xiao'e's career would surely take advantage of the opportunity to explode. Thinking that the two of them were separated by distance and unable to communicate, Suning sighed helplessly.

Suning never expected that Lou Xiaoe would be waiting for her in Hong Kong, because she had no idea that they would meet soon. She did feel lonely and tired working hard in Hong Kong alone.

"Zhang Ning, remember what I told you!
I have an ex-girlfriend who is now in Hong Kong!"

"Yes! Brother, you told me!"

"She seemed to be pregnant when she left. I wonder how they are doing in Hong Kong now!"

"Brother, don't you know a lot of people? Do you want someone to give her a letter?"

"No! We can't let anyone know that our family has such foreign connections! Otherwise, it will be very troublesome!"

Suning's arrival changed a lot of things. Qin Huairu's life was much more comfortable than in the original drama. After all, his salary was ten yuan more than in the original drama. Of course, all this was thanks to Yi Zhonghai.

Although their lives have become much better, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi are still not satisfied. Seeing the happy life of Su Ning's family, Qin Huairu is still extremely jealous.

The scheming Qin Huairu also tried to get closer to Su Ning's wife, but as a woman herself, Zhang Ning had long noticed Qin Huairu's feelings for Su Ning, and had heard some rumors about the two of them over the years. Of course, Zhang Ning ignored her.

Qin Huairu saw that Su Ning no longer cared about what was happening in the courtyard, and could not talk to Zhang Ning, so she could only wait helplessly.

Banggeng dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school and stayed at home. With the help of his uncle Yi Zhonghai, he found a few jobs, but because they were all temporary jobs and the work was relatively hard, Banggeng often could not work for long. Most of the time he just wandered around, eating and waiting to die.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were also very disappointed when they saw Banggeng's condition, but they could do nothing but watch Banggeng become depressed.

Ever since seeing Suning adopt several children, Yi Zhonghai did not follow suit and adopt a child, but instead focused all his attention on Banggeng.

But now seeing Bang Geng's lack of ambition, Uncle Yi Zhonghai slowly became disappointed. Now he wanted to go to the welfare home to adopt a child. However, when Yi Zhonghai thought about his age, he no longer had the courage.

One wrong step leads to another. Mr. Yi Zhonghai now has this kind of complicated mentality. When he was young and capable, he always made various excuses to avoid adopting orphans. Now he has the intention but not the ability, and can only sigh with the old lady.

"Lao Yi, I heard that Sha Zhu's wife is pregnant again!"

"Ah? Silly Zhu is trying too hard!
If we have more children, we will have five!
I don't know what he's thinking!" Uncle Yi Zhonghai felt a little surprised and confused.

"Hey! Anyway, I have nothing to do right now. I want to go over and look after the kids for him."

"Huh? That's fine!
It’s much better than staying at home alone all the time!
It's just that your health is not good, so you still need to pay more attention!" Yi Zhonghai thought that he could take the opportunity to get closer to Suning.

"Haha, nothing!

My body just lacks exercise, maybe walking around and moving around will make it better! "

"Old Yi, Sha Zhu's four children are all grown up!

They all look strong and energetic!

I just help to look after the kids so they don't run around!"

"Yeah! That makes sense!"

Suning and Zhang Ning had no objection to the arrival of the auntie. After all, she was much better than the uncle Yi Zhonghai, and it would be nice to have her to help look after the kids.

The four children are now at their most mischievous age, always running around and having fun. Zhang Ning, who is pregnant again, cannot be as tired as before, so it is nice to have an aunt volunteer to help.

Every day, after having breakfast at her own home, the aunt would come to Suning's home to look after the children. After dinner in the evening, Suning would ride his bicycle to take the aunt home.

Sitting on the back of the bicycle, looking at Suning's strong back, the aunt sighed regretfully, "Silly Zhu, are you still angry with your uncle?"

"Haha, I'm not angry at all!
It’s just that I can’t get along with that old man!

It’s not as good as the current situation!”

"Silly, you're right!

It's just that your uncle is too stubborn and never gives in!"

"Haha, he doesn't need to admit defeat! Because maybe he is right!"
