Chapter 154 Wants to Eat Meat.
"Brother Yang."
Over the weekend, He Yushui woke Yang Ke up again.
"Oh, the rain."
"Don't take a shower today, come over and chat with your brother Yang."
Yang Ke beckoned and pulled He Yushui aside.
"Hey Yang, don't you have any clothes to wash?"
He Yushui looked disappointed, thinking that Yang Ke had no clothes to wash.
"No, I'll have Qin Huairu from the Jia family wash my clothes from now on, and I'll give them some grain as a subsidy."
Yes, Qin Huairu had informed several old men about washing Yang Ke's clothes, just to shut them up.
Actually, no one in the courtyard thought Yang Ke would have any connection with Qin Huairu. Mainly because they were like strangers for the first two years, and given Yang Ke's circumstances, he could find anyone, so how could he have any connection with a widow?
In reality, every time Qin Huairu came to Yang Ke's place to get clothes, she would most likely stay for at least half an hour before leaving.
"Ok."
He Yushui didn't say much after hearing the reason.
He Yushui cooked again at noon, but just as she was finishing up, Qin Huairu slipped over.
"Brother Yang, I'm pregnant. Could you share some of the meat with me later? I feel like I'm lacking nutrition lately."
Qin Huairu straightened herself up and began to hint.
"Yes, today's dish is braised pork knuckle, which is just the right size for you. I specially asked Yushui to make it."
"Come over for dinner tonight. It's not good to have too many people around now."
Yang Ke nodded and did not refuse, but still mentioned the time.
"Okay, I'll come over after everyone's asleep tonight."
Qin Huairu flashed a very charming smile, then happily returned to the Jia family home. However, before entering the house, she quickly composed herself.
"Mom, Yang Ke still doesn't agree. He said he's afraid that if others see us, everyone will go, and then they'll gossip about us because we won't get any food."
Qin Huairu naturally couldn't say that she would only get to eat if she went there in the evening, and that Yang Ke was only giving her food, so she made up an excuse.
"These neighbors, if they didn't spread rumors every day, I would have been eating meat long ago!"
Jia Zhangshi didn't think much of it, mainly because she didn't dare let Qin Huairu borrow grain from Sha Zhu, for fear of that.
After having a full lunch, He Yushui went out to find Yu Haitang. The two were from the same school. After Yu Haitang learned of Yang Ke's thoughts, she naturally started to get close to He Yushui the year before she graduated from junior high school.
At that time, He Yushui had just started junior high school, while Yu Haitang was in her final year.
The two characters in the drama were classmates, but the age difference in their working lives clearly indicates that they were only from the same school.
With Yu Haitang's subtle influence, and He Yushui's own feelings for Yang Ke, winning over He Yushui is only a matter of time.
Ultimately, Yang Ke's qualifications are among the best of his time, and few people can withstand his advances.
After seeing He Yushui off, Yang Ke went home and talked about Yu Li and Yu Haitang, including Lou Xiao'e's two children.
There's nothing wrong with him talking at home; in fact, discussing these things in advance allows for earlier arrangements.
"Alright, the child is still young now. We'll arrange it as you suggested in a couple of years."
Yang Ke's parents didn't care too much about these things, since it wasn't like they were marrying him.
However, before Yang Ke returned to the courtyard house, the two of them still told him to bring Lou Xiao'e and her two children to see them when he had time.
It was already evening when Yang Ke returned to the courtyard house. With nothing else to do, he lay in the courtyard, watching people come and go, quite leisurely.
Previously in the city, the pace was so fast that even if Yang Ke didn't want to do anything, he would still get moving for entertainment or other reasons.
In this day and age, it's difficult to even watch TV, and you get tired of listening to the radio after a while, so naturally you can only kill time when you have nothing to do.
Yan Jiedi is 8 years old now and is quite cute.
Every time Yang Ke lay down by the door, she would come over and chat with him.
However, the main reason was to get some snacks from Yang Ke.
Yang Ke is very generous to children, and he often slips Yan Jiedi a piece of candy whenever he has a spare moment.
After dinner, Yang Ke would close the door and go into his room to play on the computer.
Well, even without internet, I can still play some games, but it gets boring after a while.
Fortunately, after experiencing several worlds, he developed a lot of games and downloaded many single-player games in the last world, so playing them for a few years was a piece of cake.
He only plays around this time of night when he has nothing else to do, since Qin Huairu is coming over later. He's just closing the door now so people will think he's asleep.
At 11 p.m., Qin Huairu secretly got up and crept over to Yang Ke's side in the dark.
It was so dark there that almost no one would get up, so Qin Huairu wasn't worried when she came to Yang Ke's room.
"Here it is, it's hot, eat it quickly."
Yang Ke opened the door bolt around the appointed time, so Qin Huairu slipped in.
"Hmm, there are still so many!"
Qin Huairu was also quite surprised to see that there was more than half a braised pork knuckle.
"It's just for you to eat, so just eat yours and don't think about taking it back."
Yang Ke understood Qin Huairu's meaning and immediately dissuaded her from pursuing the idea.
Qin Huairu now understood Yang Ke's personality very well, and hearing what he said, she had no choice but to obediently start eating.
After staying for a full hour, Qin Huairu finally finished eating and drinking and slipped away.
"Huai Ru, did you bring any back?"
Just as Qin Huairu secretly returned to her room and lay down, Jia Zhangshi's voice rang in her ears.
"..."
"Mom, you know what kind of person Yang Ke is. He won't let me bring him back."
Qin Huairu thought about it for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
The two had kept in tacit agreement not to discuss Yang Ke.
But today, Yang Ke's family made something delicious, and the aroma of the braised pork knuckle was so strong that many people smelled it. Jia Zhangshi thought that Qin Huairu might bring back some meat.
"You know, he really is something. Now that we're related, what's wrong with him giving some meat to help the Jia family?"
Jia Zhangshi complained.
Although Yang Ke has been feeding them a lot lately, it's mostly mixed noodles, and occasionally a bit oily.
As for meat, Jia Zhangshi still had to buy it herself.
But they didn't have meat ration coupons, so they only managed to eat meat twice over several months.
"No, if this continues, I might as well let Qin Huairu talk to Sha Zhu."
The more Jia Zhangshi thought about it, the angrier she became.
Lately, Sha Zhu has been bringing lunchboxes home every day to curry favor, but Jia Zhangshi has rejected him every time.
Now that she smelled the meat, Jia Zhangshi didn't care about anything else; all she wanted to do was eat meat.
"Mom, I'll think of a way in a few days to get a meat coupon from Yang Ke to buy some meat."
If it were before, Qin Huairu might have tried to curry favor with Sha Zhu in exchange for some food.
But now that she's with Yang Ke, this handsome guy, every day, how could she possibly still talk to Sha Zhu?
Besides, Yang Ke only didn't give the Jia family meat, but he gave them plenty of noodles and other things. This was much better than the gossip that Qin Huairu had to endure for every meal. Naturally, Qin Huairu didn't want to go looking for Sha Zhu.
"That's what you said."
Only after hearing this did Jia Zhangshi stop, and after confirming it, she fell into a deep sleep, as if she could eat meat in her dreams.
