Chapter 1376 The Little Widow in the 4th Courtyard 103

"Yeah, why are they leaving now? They didn't leave before."

Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Use your brain and think about it carefully."

Originally, when Zhang Yu was educating Zhao Hong, Xiao Yi never participated and even tried to avoid it. Now, after hearing what Zhang Yu said, combined with what his grandparents said before they left.

Xiao Yi's face suddenly became embarrassed, "Aunt Zhang, is the situation really that bad?"

Zhang Yu shook his head. "I don't know either. You know I don't have any information on this."

"I just think they are big shots, even if their situation is not very good, but they have certain sources of information."

"If they can, I think they don't want to leave."

Those who stayed behind wanted to return to their roots and didn't want to grow old without being able to come back.

But now, at an old age, he still has to go far away, which shows the urgency of the situation.

Xiao Yi thought for a long time, then looked up at Zhang Yu, "Aunt Zhang, my home, my home."

The young man didn't know what to say. He even had to avoid his grandparents. Would his staying in Beijing bring trouble to Zhang Yu?

"It's okay, it's okay. Your grandparents are engaged in research."

"There are so many people doing research." Zhang Yu kept comforting the young man.

"When that time comes, there will always be a way."

"Don't worry, your parents have entrusted you to my care. I will definitely keep you safe."

Zhang Yu kept comforting him and told him not to worry or be nervous.

"Things will work out when the time comes. There's no point worrying about these things now." Seeing that Zhao Xi had woken up, Zhang Yu asked them to go and coax the child.

Even though he had a lot on his mind, Xiao Yi's mood slowly calmed down when he saw his little niece smiling silly.

Well, it’s useless for him to worry and be nervous about things that haven’t happened yet. He might as well live a good life.

And just like Aunt Zhang said, just be low-key.

"Don't worry. Although the people in our courtyard have their own little plans and calculations, they all live down-to-earth lives."

Looking through the original owner's memories, no matter how noisy it was outside, no one in the compound would jump out and make trouble, and no one would wear a red condom, the main purpose was to stay away from trouble.

Zhang Yu now hopes that even if there is a butterfly effect, a few people will not pop up and do all kinds of disgusting things. That would be really infuriating.

"Let's have a good time during this Chinese New Year. Whether we have money or not, we still have to have a good time."

Xiao Yi thought about it and it made sense. Could worrying about this and that solve the problem?

Zhao Hong listened for a long time, but was confused. Finally, she heard Zhang Yu say, "Have a good Spring Festival." Then she said she understood.

"Then can we have pickled fish?" Zhao Hong thought of the pickled fish she had eaten a few days ago and felt it was particularly delicious.

"No problem. I've thought of dumplings for this year's New Year. They'll be stuffed with chives and eggs, sauerkraut, pork, beef, or mutton."

"Oh, and there are also pure fish dumplings."

"When the time comes, the dumplings with the filling you want will be the ones you want." This is not like glutinous rice balls, which can be made into different shapes. It really all depends on your feeling.

Even before they put it in their mouths, the filling that Zhang Yu described was enough to make them look forward to it.

"Mom, our family is struggling to make ends meet, why do we have to make so many dumplings?" Although Zhao Hong was very happy to eat a lot of delicious food, she was a little worried about her future as she ate so lavishly.

"During the Chinese New Year, you must eat well. Only by eating well can you stay healthy."

"You see, other people all feel uncomfortable here and there to some extent, but we are in great health." Zhang Yu insisted that only by eating well can one be in good health.

Zhao Hong thought about it and said, "Yes, this is good for your health."

"Besides, dumplings are great. Once they're wrapped, you can just freeze them and nothing will happen."

“When you want to eat it, just put it in the pot and cook it. No one will smell the smell.” Zhang Yu really thinks dumplings are the best.

“When you stew a soup, or braise pork, or even stir-fry shredded pork, the smell will spread and people around you will smell it.” In this day and age, eating meat is a big deal.

As long as they smell the smell, someone will definitely ask each other whose pork it is. Fortunately, everyone knows that she is good at fishing, and even if she often stews fish soup, everyone will just talk about it.

If it was replaced with meat, someone would definitely report it.

On New Year's Eve, Zhang Yu was very busy and spent almost the whole day making dumplings. Fortunately, the dumplings for the old man were made a day in advance, so when the old man wanted to eat them, he could just cook them.

On New Year's Eve, even if someone wanted to ask what Zhang Yu's family was eating, they were busy. Plus, a batch of hairtail suddenly arrived from the supply and marketing cooperative, which made everyone excited and they all lined up.

The only one who went to Zhang Yu's house to queue up was Xiao Yi. Zhao Hong stayed at home to work and look after the children. Zhang Yu closed the door and worked hard to make dumplings at home.

Xiao Yi waited in line for half a day before he was able to purchase the hairtail, and of course it was a large-scale purchase.

I also bought some mutton, which was unplanned and did not require a ticket, but the price was quite expensive.

"I saw that some people didn't buy it, so I asked him to buy two kilograms for me and gave him fifty cents." Xiao Yi whispered.

"I originally wanted to buy more, but then I thought better of it." Although no tickets were required, there were still people staring at them.

Although there was mutton at home, the young man felt that no one would complain about having too much meat.

"Not bad, not bad." Zhang Yu looked at the four pounds of mutton. Although he didn't understand why mutton was suddenly available.

These are not the main points. The main point is that no ticket is required, which is definitely good news. As for the higher price, that is not a problem.

"Four pounds of mutton, this amount is the perfect amount." Everyone knows that Zhao Lei's salary is kept at home.

"We won't eat today." Today's meal was quite rich, and Zhang Yu originally didn't want to eat.

Then I thought about it and said, "Forget it, let's eat hotpot at night."

"Put the mutton outside and freeze it, and then make some mutton rolls." Mutton rolls taste absolutely great when eaten in hot pot.

"Okay." Zhao Hong was definitely the best supporter and was absolutely supportive.

Zhang Yu casually asked the other neighbors in the compound whether they had bought it. Hearing that they had all bought it, Yang Chen's family was more direct and bought six kilograms of mutton.

"One is an engineer and the other is a doctor, with high incomes." When they bought six kilograms of mutton, everyone was just a little surprised and didn't think much about it.

"The Xue family next door also bought mutton, which is very good." Ever since he failed to plan to buy the Zhao family's house in those three years, Zhang Yu could see with his own eyes that their condition had deteriorated a lot.

In addition, in order to make money, they sold their shares, and in the end they did not have enough food left, and the whole family seemed to have gone hungry.

Although they were alive, Zhang Yu felt that the four members of the Xue family were not in good health and were too thin, especially Xue Li.
