Chapter 149 The Story Begins (Part )
Liang Lati won praise from the entire street for his superb skills, vigorous style and strict family tradition.
There is really no one who does not praise Liang Lati's children. When they see someone, they immediately greet them with their mouths as sweet as honey.
I would never take anything given by others without the consent of my mother and stepfather.
Even if he wanted it very much, he would not take it. Among several children, the eldest took good care of his younger siblings, and his younger siblings were also very good. At such a young age, he knew how to pick up scraps to supplement the family income.
Everyone in the entire courtyard envied this, even Cai Wenqing was envious.
Although the He family's conditions do not require the children to do so, it is a symbol of being sensible. Seeing their children know how to contribute to the family income, they feel happy.
Parents don’t care how much money you can bring home. If you earn money through legitimate means and bring it home, that’s the sense of growth for your children.
He Yukai was also very happy because he actually got something, and that thing made He Yukai happy for a long time.
Once, a few children from Liang Lati came back from picking up scraps and were seen by He Yukai. He wanted to tease the children and see what they had picked up.
The result gave He Yukai a huge surprise: there was a wine glass inside.
Many people asked, it’s just a wine glass, what’s so surprising about it?
He Yukai didn't pay attention at first, but Damao's words made He Yukai take it seriously.
"Uncle He, this wine glass looks broken, but I tried to break it but it didn't break. How strange! Haha."
It was this sentence that caught He Yukai's attention. He was so confused that he realized it was the Ge Kiln Octagonal Cup!
"This cup from Damao is pretty good. How about Uncle He exchange it with you for ten yuan?"
He Yukai knew that Damao probably didn't know the value of this thing, so ten dollars was a very reasonable price to exchange for it.
There is basically no market for these antiques now, unless they meet collectors, but even those people cannot offer a high price, and may not even offer ten dollars.
So He Yukai did not take any advantage, it was just that He Yukai knew that the cup would be valuable in a few decades.
"Uncle, if you want it, take it. I didn't spend any money anyway. I don't want your money."
Damao knew that He Yukai had helped their family a lot. His sister had meat on her birthday and his mother came to the city to work, all of which were thanks to the help of this uncle.
Looking at the determined Damao, He Yukai thought for a moment and decided that he must get the cup, so he might as well just give him some supplies.
It is definitely not free, He Yukai also has his own principles.
"Da Mao, I won't give you any money. I like this cup very much. Wait a minute and I'll give you something. Go back and ask your dad to make it for you guys."
He Yukai thought about it and decided to give up. The relationship between the two families would become strained if he gave money, and their family was not short of this little money, so he should just give some meat for the children to eat.
In this era, meat is more important than money. You need a meat ticket to buy meat. This alone makes many people sigh with regret.
"Da Mao, this is five pounds of meat. Take it home and tell your mother that I gave it to you."
Damao originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the expectant looks of his younger brother and sister, he didn't refuse.
Damao also likes to eat, okay? Although the family conditions have improved a lot, Liang Lati is still relatively frugal. It is no problem for him to have enough food. He only has meat once every half a month, which was something he could never dream of before.
The hard times in the past made Liang Lati dare not spend money recklessly. Perhaps only a gradually fatter wallet could give this woman a sense of security.
It was already very good for the children to eat meat once every half a month, which was already a relief for most families in the compound.
There are very few Ge Kiln porcelains that are well preserved and have been handed down, especially cups, which are even rarer.
The Ge Kiln Octagonal Cup is one of the representative works of the Ge Kiln in the Song Dynasty. It is octagonal in shape, with arc-shaped mouth and bottom, smooth lines and unique shape.
The cup body is covered with light grey green glaze, and the glaze surface is covered with patterns and has uneven textures, making it a rare fine product.
He Yukai remembered that he had one in his hand after it was broken. Could he think of a way to return it later?
It is impossible to buy it. That guy only takes in and never gives out. It is impossible for him to sell it to me. But do I have anything that can attract Hou Lao?
A few days later, He Yukai gave Nan Yi an old hen.
"Brother, this is inappropriate."
Nan Yi and He Yuzhu's relationship is getting better and better, and now he also calls He Yukai "Big Brother".
"Okay, take it! Give it to Damao and the other kids. This isn't for you, it's for Damao. I like that item very much, and I have to thank Damao for that."
He Yukai doesn't care. Five pounds of meat is not enough, and he needs to add a chicken, otherwise he will always feel like he is taking advantage.
This feeling is not pleasant. Although they did take advantage, to some people, isn't it the Nan Yi family who took advantage?
I exchanged the scraps I picked up for five pounds of pork and a chicken, something I couldn't even imagine.
"Your elder brother, didn't you give him pork last time? Now you're giving him a whole chicken. That's really inappropriate."
Nan Yi also felt it was inappropriate. Although he knew the value of Ge Kiln, that also depended on the era. At least it was not worth the price now. On the contrary, it might bring disaster.
"Last time I wasn't sure about its authenticity, but now I am sure it is a good thing and I got a good deal."
The chicken must be given, otherwise He Yukai will feel uncomfortable.
Whether you feel at ease with it depends on who you are dealing with. At least for Da Mao and his kids, although they got lucky, they did get the upper hand.
"Why are you taking advantage of them? They are things that the children found. Besides, they can't be eaten or worn. They might get you into trouble."
Nan Yi knew that He Yukai liked collecting, and he had seen He Yukai studying antiques at He's house several times.
"It's worthless in your eyes, but it's different in my eyes. Who made me like it? Stop talking nonsense and take it back!"
Today He Yuzhu went to the big leader’s house to cook. Yes, it was the home of the Deputy Minister of Industry, which is also the home of the big leader in the TV series.
Cai Wenqing and Lou Xiao'e have a mission today, which seems to be to deal with the issue of domestic violence against their daughter-in-law.
He said he had eaten out in the evening and told them not to bother with him.
He Yukai felt that no one cared about him, so he bought two chickens, one for Old Man Li and one for Nan Yi.
Old Man Li gave the meal to the children. The children went to Old Man Li's house after school to learn about ancient culture, and they had the meal at the same time.
He wanted to go to Zhengyangmen, eat and drink his fill, and then come back. It was a beautiful place.
I particularly like the atmosphere at Zhengyangmen. After dinner, I would have a drink and listen to everyone bragging. When someone is bragging, there will be others to support him. It is very interesting.
The key is that they did not rehearse in advance, they improvised, this is the realm.
Liang Lati came home from get off work and saw Nan Yi stewing chicken. He felt a little strange. It wasn't a festival, so what was going on? He didn't know how to live.
"Nan Yi, where did you get the chicken? It's so delicious! But it's not a festival now, and if we eat it this good, it might be bad if the children get picky eaters, right?"
"You're back? Brother He gave me a chicken and said it was for the children, so I stewed it!
I learned how to make chicken stewed with mushrooms from Zhuzi. You can try it later. Zhuzi’s dish is amazing. I don’t know if my stew is much different.”
In Nan Yi's eyes, cooking is definitely more important. Is he a picky eater? What is he filming? His income is not low, if he doesn't feed the children, who will he feed them?
"Why was it given to the chicken for no reason?"
Although He Yukai was generous, he was not a spendthrift. Why would he give a chicken for no reason? Liang Lati was puzzled.
"It's the same cup that Damao picked up last time. I still feel bad about it! Give me some compensation."
Of course Nan Yi understood what He Yukai meant. It was not difficult to guess. There might even be a factor of not wanting to owe anyone a favor.
If Nan Yi hadn't taken these into consideration, he would have refused to accept it. If he took too much, wouldn't he be owing others?
Since ancient times, debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, unless there is no more intersection in future life.
"It's just a piece of junk, what's there to feel bad about?"
This made Liang Latin even more confused. Last time he gave him five pounds of meat, today he gave him a chicken, and here was just a broken cup.
"Hey, you are ignorant, that is a Geyao Octagonal Cup, you know it's an antique, right?
If this happened in prosperous times, it would be worth a lot of money.
But now, it’s worthless and there might even be trouble.
You also know the machine repair shop. My background is not good. How come that bastard Cui Dake targeted me?"
Just because Liang Lati doesn’t know doesn’t mean Nan Yi doesn’t know.
Nan Yi certainly knew the value of Ge Kiln, but times have changed. Unless one really liked the item or wanted to collect it, no one would touch those things.
He Yukai gave the chicken in order not to take advantage of others. What is the rarest thing now?
Of course we still eat, especially meat.
The restoration of material supply does not mean that you can eat meat at will. You need meat tickets. There are no restrictions, but without tickets, people still won't sell it to you.
"Hey, that can't be eaten or drunk, but Brother He likes that. I've heard my sister-in-law complain about it many times.
He said that every time he took away money, he would exchange it for those things. However, Brother He didn't like to drink, didn't do any messy things, and didn't smoke. It was not a problem for them to have such hobbies given their family conditions.
Forget it, let’s not talk about this. When I came back, I saw several children from the Jia family roasting chicken on the cement pipe!
The Jia family lives a really good life. With Qin Huairu's salary of 27.5, not only are the people in the family well-fed, but the children also have chicken to eat.
Hey, did you think the chicken was stolen? Otherwise, why wasn't Jia Zhang watching? Qin Huairu shouldn't be so generous, right? "The more Liang Lati thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. It didn't make sense.
Even if you want to eat chicken, you should go home and eat it. How can three little kids eat it outside?
"Don't mess with that family. Jia Zhang is such a troublemaker. She can make you die.
Although your fighting ability is not low, you are not quiet either, right? Live your life in peace."
Nan Yi looked at Liang Latin with displeasure. He was curious about everything and thought it would be best not to provoke the Jia family if possible.
This daughter-in-law of mine was not like this before. After coming to the city, not only has her mood become better and better, but she has also become quite gossipy.
"Look at you, is it necessary to react so strongly? I get it, I don't want to mess with their family."
Liang Lati had a clear view of the situation in the compound and was even more disgusted with Qin Huairu's actions.
He Yukai didn’t see Banggeng and the others roasting the chicken. If he had seen it, wouldn’t he have known that the plot had officially begun?
Right now He Yukai is listening to gossip in the tavern, it's really quite interesting.
But looking at Chen Xueru in front of him, He Yukai felt puzzled. You are the eldest daughter-in-law, and you keep staring at me like this. How will people see me? Those who don’t know will think that you have abandoned me after having fun with me?
In public, you are a celebrity in this area, a well-known and handsome boss. Is it really okay to be stared at like this?
"Chen Xueru, why are you staring at me like that? Can you just tell me straight away? Don't make me feel uncomfortable."
In the end, He Yukai was defeated and no longer cared about Niu Ye's playful expression.
"Director He, this is wrong. Huizhen and I are sisters. You call her aunt and me by my name. What does that mean?
Do you look down on me? You are forcing me to be a generation lower than Xu Huizhen. What do you think I should do? "
Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen have always loved and hated each other for years. Who in this area doesn't know it? It's strange to say that these two people have been fighting openly and secretly, but their relationship has not become distant, but has become better and better.
The most important thing is that He Yukai agrees with Chen Xueru’s standards for choosing a partner. Now looking at this man whom she will never get, she can’t help but find fault with him. Every time she sees He Yukai, she wants to find fault with him!
“Chen Xueru, I call you little aunt because she married my uncle and is my elder.
But your explanation doesn’t make sense. You don’t even need to be married, and I don’t have any elders to marry you. Besides, I’m the only uncle here. It’s a new era now, and I can’t marry you and act like a mistress.”
"you..."
Chen Xueru was very depressed. He Yukai was too eloquent and she had never won in the past few years.
Although she got the title of March 8th Red Flag Bearer of Beijing City for nothing because of this guy, his behavior is too irritating. Can't you give in to me a little? After all, I am a woman, right?
Also, when she saw this guy, she felt that he was a generation lower than Xu Huizhen.
She hadn't noticed it before. If Fan Jinyou hadn't asked me to force He Yukai to call her aunt, I wouldn't have reacted yet. Unknowingly, I was a generation behind Xu Huizhen.
Fan Jinyou has nothing bad to say. I don't dare to offend you, He Yukai, because you have a background and strength, but that doesn't mean I can't disgust you.
He Yukai was puzzled. Are you here to make fun of me? You are dreaming if you want me to call you aunt.
Who wants to find a bunch of elders for themselves when they have nothing to do?
What is your relationship with me, Chen Xueru? You are not much older than me, and you are pretty, but what does it have to do with me? Why should I spoil you?
"Chen Xueru, don't look at me like that. If I were you, I'd tell you to divorce Fan Jinyou and bring my dad back from Baoding. He doesn't have a marriage certificate anyway, so I'd let my dad marry you. That way, you can even let me call you mom."
He Yukai is not one to suffer any loss, especially when Chen Xueru is picking on him in a weird way.
"Hahaha...."
Everyone in the tavern finally couldn't help laughing. They knew the relationship between He Yukai and the tavern. He Yukai also often visited the tavern, so these regulars all knew He Yukai.
Seeing what He Yukai said was so interesting, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Boss Chen, promised Director He, where can we find such a good son?"
There is never a shortage of funny people to support the main role, and someone has already started to make fun of it.
"Xue Ru, why don't you consider it? Haha."
Hearing the teasing from people around her, Chen Xueru knew that she couldn't stay any longer. She glared at Fan Jinyou and said, "It's all your bad idea." Fan Jinyou felt even more aggrieved. Helplessly, the two of them left in embarrassment.
Chen Xueru knew that she would not get any advantage today. She felt angry when she saw the cowardly Fan Jinyou. She looked down on Fan Jinyou more and more. The more she looked at him, the more displeased she became.
How did you find such a loser? Facing He Yukai, you dare not say a word, and let me take the lead. If you still don't take the lead when you are at a disadvantage, what use do I have for you?
What happened today laid the groundwork for the two people's divorce later.
Chen Xueru even had the urge to try being He Yukai's mother, but she immediately suppressed it.
I can't do such a thing just because I'm angry with Xu Huizhen and He Yukai, otherwise I'll really become a laughing stock.
"Xiao Kai, you are too hasty."
Seeing Chen Xueru leave angrily, Xu Huizhen looked at He Yukai with amusement. He had a very poisonous tongue and Chen Xueru was no match for him.
"Aunt, you saw it, she's sitting opposite me, looking like she won't give up unless I agree. How can I still call her Aunt? Or Auntie?
This is not a joke, you two are really something, just fight, why do you have to compare everything, aren't you tired?"
He Yukai also felt that he was implicated.
"Xiao Kai, Chen Xueru is also an old neighbor. She has not suffered any loss in such a long time. Only Huizhen and you are at a disadvantage.
If you say this woman has no bad intentions, hey, in terms of competitiveness, she is no worse than a man, so don't take it to heart."
"Master Niu, don't worry, we have been dealing with each other for quite some time, when have you ever seen me being so stingy?
But it’s quite interesting. What can I say about Chen Xueru? She may suffer a great loss in the future because of her personality.”
It is not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too strong. Chen Xueru was almost plotted against by Fan Jinyou in the later period. It may be that her strong personality brought her blind self-confidence, and she thought that the suppressed Fan Jinyou would not dare to deceive her.
"We'll talk about the future later. Women with strong personalities are usually very capable. Let's wait and see."
Niu Ye did not comment. Who knows what will happen in the future? Chen Xueru has some skills, but she is far inferior to Fan Jinyou.
He Yukai was not afraid of Chen Xueru's thoughts at all. Chen Xueru was indeed an expert in business like silk and satin shop, but in other aspects, she was just a joke.
She is not good at judging people. All her husbands are scumbags. As for business, she is still far from being successful. Otherwise, it is not impossible for her to crush Chen Xueru.
It’s funny to think that in the end Chen Xueru was almost bankrupted by her son and Fan Jinyou. This woman has a strong personality and is conceited. She was confident that Fan Jinyou would not dare to betray her.
I thought Fan Jinyou didn't have the courage to scheme. Economic income is the backbone of a man. If you rely on a woman to make a living, no matter how glamorous and beautiful you are in front of outsiders, you still have to kneel on the washboard when you return home.
It is true that Chen Xueru is a heroine, but her vision is shockingly poor. The first private manager used Chen Xueru's money to support his ex-wife and was discovered and driven away.
Then Chen Xueru hooked up with Fan Jinyou, who was this kind of person? A sophisticated egoist.
In order to let his own son take over Chen Xueru's assets, he did everything he could.
Hou Kui is the son of Chen Xueru's ex-husband. He has looked down on Fan Jinyou since he was a child. Everything that happens in the future is for Chen Xueru's huge assets. It's sad and lamentable.
If it weren't for the help of Xu Huizhen and others, Fan Jinyou would have really succeeded. Isn't it sad that he was so strong that he was eventually framed and left penniless?
Let’s not talk about Zhengyang Gate for now, the Siheyuan is a mess.
Xu Damao came back and found that his old hen was missing. The Nan Yi family and Old Man Li's family in the backyard were stewing chicken.
They were all hens. When I asked, I found out that they were given by He Yukai, but where were my own hens?
Those are used for laying eggs. I prepare an egg for each of my children for breakfast every day to supplement their nutrition.
I learned it from He Yukai, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I wanted to call the police but the old men blocked me. What's going on? Well, if you are not allowed to call the police, then you should find the murderer and compensate for your loss!!!
Xu Damao made it clear that he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. The three uncles in charge were very angry. Stealing chickens from the backyard had ruled out suspicion of outsiders.
A chicken costs several dollars, and a hen that lays eggs is even more valuable. If you call the police and are found out, you will be charged with a serious crime.
It seems that the only thing we can do is find out the chicken thief and give Xu Damao an explanation.
I feel bad that He Yukai is not here, otherwise, the situation would be even more complicated. He Yukai is the director of security, and Xu Damao can report the case without leaving home.
Recommend a good book, the interweaving of passion, domineering, iron-blooded and tenderness is wonderful!!!
