Chapter 41 What does the Jia family want from you?

Bai Wei was amused by her, but she suppressed her smile and said in a serious tone:

"Let me calculate with my fingers, there should be..."

"Potatoes and meat!"

Ye Xiaoyun was surprised, "Comrade Bai Wei, your nose is getting better and better!"

"You can already smell it before I even open my lunch box?"

Bai Wei smiled and said, "What's the big deal? This person's eyesight is not good, but his nose is getting better and better."

It was originally a joke, but Ye Xiaoyun still felt a little sad after hearing it.

Bai Wei was very sensitive to her emotions.

"Not only my nose, my ears are also getting better and better."

"What did you put on the table when you came in?"

Ye Xiaoyun couldn't help laughing.

"I really can't hide anything from you."

She handed the cloth bag to Bai Wei and said:

"This is the dried sweet potato that Sister Lin Ping brought me. She said her mother-in-law brought it back from her hometown in the countryside."

Bai Wei weighed the cloth bag in her hand and said in surprise:

"so much!"

She sighed and said:

"Lin Ping has been taking care of you since you started working here."

Ye Xiaoyun also said, "Yes, thanks to Sister Lin for taking care of us all these years."

"And Director Chen, he's very nice to me too."

As he spoke, he opened the lunch box and put the braised pork and potatoes into Bai Wei's bowl.

Bai Wei nodded and said with emotion: "Old Chen and your father were old partners in the army and they had a very good relationship."

"He is a man with impeccable business and character."

"It's our family's luck that you can be assigned to work under him."

"You have to follow Director Chen and learn well..."

"Hey, kid, don't put all the food in my bowl."

"You work so hard all day, and you still take all the food home for lunch. How can it be nutritious enough?"

After saying that, she fumbled around, took the food that Ye Xiaoyun had put in her bowl, and then gave it to Ye Xiaoyun.

"Okay, stop arguing, half for each of us."

Bai Wei sighed helplessly.

"Then it's settled, you are not allowed to bring food home anymore."

She put down her chopsticks, stroked Ye Xiaoyun's cheek with one hand, and said:

"At Mom's age, it doesn't matter if she eats one more bite or one less bite."

"You are different. You still have a long life ahead of you."

Ye Xiaoyun responded vaguely.

"It's okay, Mom. The company cafeteria provides more food."

"Many colleagues in our unit brought back vegetables."

"Sister Lin Ping will also bring it."

Bai Wei nodded and said with emotion:

"Her family conditions are not good. Her two sisters-in-law are still in school, and she herself has two children to raise. With such a large family, the salary of her and her husband alone is not enough."

"Although I have always said that I want to know her feelings, but given our family's conditions, it is only her who can take care of us."

Ye Xiaoyun was just expressing her gratitude for Lin Ping's kindness to her, but unexpectedly Bai Wei changed the subject.

"So, Xiaoyun."

"When you get married and your life becomes easier, you must treat Sister Lin Ping well."

"It is true love to help someone in need."

"Speaking of which, Xiaoyun, how are your personal issues going?"

"If you find anything you like, bring it back for me to see."

Ye Xiaoyun was speechless.

How come we are talking about this again?

In fact, she knew what her mother was thinking. She just felt that it was hard for her mother to live alone, and she wanted to see her get married sooner and have someone to take care of each other.

Ye Xiaoyun understood what she was thinking.

However, many people liked her over the years, but after hearing about her family situation and knowing that she had an almost blind mother to take care of, most of them backed off.

Given Bai Wei's situation, it's impossible to just leave her alone.

After getting married, I will have to live with my mother-in-law, not to mention that her background is not very good.

Many people just gave up.

Besides, Ye Xiaoyun herself was not too anxious about this matter.

Normally, when Bai Wei mentioned it, Ye Xiaoyun would just turn a blind eye and let it go.

But this time.

Ye Xiaoyun picked out a piece of braised pork from the bowl and secretly put it into Bai Wei's bowl.

Then, he said with some melancholy, "This is a matter of mutual consent. It's not easy to find someone I like and someone who likes me."

Bai Wei was a little surprised when she heard her say that.

Known daughter Moruomu.

"Could it be that she has someone in mind?"

Bai Wei couldn't help but think more.

She made up her mind that she would practice doing housework by herself in the future so that when her daughter got married, she would be able to live on her own and not be a burden to the young couple.

The two of them ate dinner in a slightly depressed mood.

Got to bed early.

……

In the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai came back from get off work and just entered the house and put down his bag.

Someone knocked softly on the door.

"Who?"

Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu said, "Bang Geng's grandmother has something to discuss with you. Please come over."

Yi Zhonghai was a little confused:

"What is it?"

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "You didn't tell me, so I asked you to come over."

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, go back and tell your mother that I'll be there in half an hour."

Qin Huairu responded: "Well, I'll go back first, old man."

At this time, an old lady opened the door curtain and came out and said:

"It's Huairu."

"Let's go after eating."

Qin Huairu knew that she was being polite, so she said, "No, Auntie. You guys eat, I've already eaten."

An old lady sighed and said, "Bang Geng's grandmother is the same. You are pregnant and I still let you run away."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I'm still young this month, it's okay."

"I'm going back, a grandfather and a mother."

After saying that, he closed the door and left.

An aunt took a pot of cornmeal and sweet potato porridge from the stove and placed it on the table.

He served a bowl each for himself and Yi Zhonghai.

Another plate of shredded pickled vegetables was brought out, and the two of them started eating.

People of this era have very simple meals.

For an old couple like them who can have enough to eat every meal, relatively speaking, they are living a good life.

The aunt took a bite of pickles and said:

"The Jia family is looking for you, what's the matter?"

"In the factory, Dongxu didn't say anything?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

An old lady picked at the sweet potato chunks in her bowl and said, "That was probably Banggeng's grandmother's idea."

Put down the chopsticks.

"I see, nothing good is happening."

"You, be careful."

Yi Zhonghai drank a mouthful of porridge and said nothing.

To be honest, he was a little scared of Jia Zhang.

This person has many problems.

The most annoying thing is that they always ask people in the yard for things under the pretext of borrowing.

These days, life is hard for everyone.

Therefore, this Jia Zhang often had arguments with others in the yard.

There is no way, because he chose Jia Dongxu and wanted him to provide for them in their old age.

When mediating, he had to side with the Jia family.

But you can't overdo it.

Fortunately, he is good at setting the pace and he also conveys values ​​subtly when dealing with other things. The people in the yard are more or less brainwashed by him.
