Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

Chapter 49 The third uncle is in trouble
Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, the third uncle glared at Yan Jiecheng and said: "If you don't bake for a while, it won't freeze you to death. Our family doesn't have the money to light an extra brazier. If you feel cold, buy coal to burn it yourself."

After hearing what the third uncle said, Yan Jiecheng curled his lips and stopped talking.

He is just a temporary worker on the street. He works for a day without a tomorrow. He only earns so much money in a month. In addition to handing most of it to the third uncle, he also has to pay for the food of his wife. How can he have money in his hands? Buy coal.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng, who had no future in his family, was choked and speechless by the third uncle, Yu Li also hated the iron.

Why did she fall for that matchmaker in the first place?

It was said that this Yan Jiecheng's family conditions were very good. He married someone who owned a sewing machine, a radio, and a bicycle.

When I got married to Yan Jiecheng, these three elders really tightened their belts and bought these things, although they were all second-hand.

But after I got married, I discovered that this was no longer the case. The sewing machine was shared by the third uncle’s family, and the radio was also moved to the third uncle’s house.

As for the bicycles, it’s even more complicated. The third uncle can only ride them alone. If anyone in his family wants to ride them, they have to pay to rent them, which costs [-] cents each time!

Anyway, Yu Li felt that she had not lived a good life since she got married and was struggling to survive all day long.

Yan Jiecheng, who was speechless after being scolded by the third uncle for a long time, didn't know what he thought of after rolling his eyes for a long time, and suddenly said:

"Dad, why don't you go to Lin Shengli and borrow some coal?"

"I saw him bringing back a lot of coal yesterday. There were more than ten baskets of coal alone, as well as briquettes! There were also a lot of briquettes stacked under the window of his house."

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Yu Li also echoed:
"Yes, dad, don't you often say that you and Lin Shengli have a good relationship? He even invited you to his house for dinner. Now our family is in trouble. If you go over and talk to him, he will definitely not help, right? "

After hearing what Jie Cheng and his wife said, the third aunt also said:
"Yes, old man, why don't you go find Shengli."

"The coal briquettes our family uses for the winter will not come out until at least half a month later. The temperature has suddenly dropped, and the few coal briquettes we have left at home will not be able to last until then."

"Look at Shengli, he got so much coal back early, he may not be able to use it all by himself."

"Besides, he is an engineer in a steel rolling mill, and his monthly salary is already 100 yuan. He shouldn't care about borrowing some coal or something."

The whole family has turned its attention to the third uncle, hoping that he can help the family get through this difficult time at this juncture.

Facing the expectant gazes of the family, the third uncle began to remain silent. This third uncle couldn't tell the story of his sufferings!

Don't look at the fact that he usually yells at home about how good his relationship is with Lin Shengli. Lin Shengli invites him to dinner and goes fishing with him.

The thing is that, but what you saw and heard must be the truth?

The third uncle has always been very cautious in his contacts with Lin Shengli. He is afraid that his scheming habit will accidentally trick Lin Shengli and let him counterattack. The little friendship that was finally established Everything is lost.

From now on, let alone taking advantage of Lin Shengli's place, it would be difficult to get into Lin Shengli's house and stutter.

However, after being silent for a long time, the third uncle still said: "The relationship between Lin Shengli and I has been pretty good recently."

"However, this is just a little better than others. In fact, if we really have any friendship, it can't be said."

"When winter comes, every household is short of coal. But this sudden drop in temperature has made coal even more in demand."

"It's hard to say that I have a good relationship with Lin Shengli right now. Even if I go, they won't necessarily lend me the coal!" The third aunt, who felt sorry for her sick daughter, stared at the third uncle and said, "No matter what happens, No, you have to ask, if someone succeeds, I can lend it to you."

Several of the third uncle's children also tried to persuade the third uncle.

In the end, the third uncle was forced and had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed: "Okay, I'll go talk to Shengli right now."

After leaving the family, the third uncle actually had no confidence at all.

It seems that winter is coming, and soon the price of coal will naturally rise. Whose coal is not used for cooking and heating?

Although Lin Shengli makes a lot of money, he can't let others take advantage of it in vain!
The third uncle stood in the yard and hesitated for a while, thinking about what to say, and then slowly walked towards Lin Shengli's house.

This morning is the coldest time of the day, and the sudden drop in temperature coupled with the light rain falling from the sky makes people feel even colder.

The third uncle tightened his clothes and let the cold rain beat on his face.

Arriving at the door of Lin Shengli's house, the third uncle hesitated whether to knock on the door.

After all, it was too early in the morning, and the sky was only bright. It was not yet six o'clock, and I didn't know if Lin Shengli got up.

If he comes here to borrow coal again, I wonder how Lin Shengli will treat him.

After hesitating for a long time, the third uncle finally gritted his teeth and knocked on Lin Shengli's door.

Lin Shengli was actually awake at this point, but he was too lazy to get up. With the heater and the warm quilt, Lin Shengli could stay in bed for a while.

"Have you gained victory? I am your third uncle."

Hearing the sound outside the door, Lin Shengli reluctantly left the warm bed and went to open the door for the third uncle wearing a pair of clothes and trousers.

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Shengli saw the third uncle with rain on his face, standing at the door shivering from the cold.

The moment Lin Shengli opened the door, the third uncle felt a hot breath coming towards him!

The third uncle didn't wear too much when he went out, and he spent a long time in the yard. The temperature this morning was already below zero. With the drizzle of rain, the third uncle was also very cold.

But the heat wave at Lin Shengli's house actually made him feel like he was alive again, as if he was in heaven!
After opening the door, Lin Shengli was blown by the cold wind outside and felt a little cold for a moment. He quickly closed the door smaller, stuck his head and asked:

"Third uncle, what do you want to do this morning?"

The third uncle looked at Lin Shengli, who was wearing single clothes, and felt the warmth coming from the door. The third uncle said with some hope: "That Shengli, can I go in and talk about it?"

Hearing what the third uncle said, Lin Shengli didn't think much and let the third uncle into the house.

After entering the house, this warm feeling was something that his third uncle had never experienced before.

Why is it so warm in this house?
