Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

It was a rare opportunity to go shopping in a department store, so Niu Ping'an did not treat himself badly.

There was no shortage of bills in the space, so he bought himself a pair of high-top leather shoes.

Although cotton shoes keep warm, they make walking and running less strenuous and affect mobility.

Liberation shoes and sneakers are too thin and your feet will get cold when you are not moving.

Cowhide shoes are better, they are sturdy, durable and warm, perfect for wearing in winter.

The cowhide upper is matched with the rubber sole and fixed with spikes, which is very fashionable.

There is no need to buy new clothes. As long as I am safe and sound, I will not have enough clothes to wear. If I buy more, I will not have enough clothes to wear.

All the cigarette and wine coupons have been used up. It’s almost the New Year, but I still need to give gifts to maintain relationships.

It was already evening when we returned to Nanluoguxiang. When we entered the courtyard, we saw Yan Bugui and Yan Jiefang carrying a table out of the door.

Apparently, it was returned after the wedding banquet.

When Yan Bugui saw Niu Ping'an coming back with a radio, he quickly put down the table and ran over.

"Ping An, buy a radio!"

The appearance and model of the radio were printed on the exquisite packaging, and Yan Bugui could tell it at a glance.

"Yes! The leader gave me a radio ticket as a reward. I bought it back because it was useless to keep it."

Niu Ping'an generously lifted up the radio so that Yan Bugui could watch it.

Yan Bugui held the radio in both hands and looked at the prints, with envy showing on his face.

"This is Meiduo 663-2-6! So beautiful!

This is an award-winning one!"

Yan Jiefang also had a look of envy on his face and touched the packaging with pity.

"Second Master is really well-informed."

Niu Ping'an was not surprised at all that Yan Bugui could say this, after all, this old man was not stingy when it came to this.

The first bicycle, the first radio, and the first TV in the hospital were all made by him.

Although they are all second-hand goods, it is enough to show that Yan Bugui still has some pursuit for quality of life.

I'm just a bit stingy when it comes to food.

Even after the difficult times were over, they only ate coarse grains and often went to the countryside to exchange grain for sweet potatoes.

"I'll have to go to your place and see for myself what the difference is between this new model and my old one!"

The Yan family has a radio, and Yan Bugui treasures it very much.

Plus I'm stingy and in order to save on electricity, I'm reluctant to use it.

Even when using it, the volume is turned down.

"Okay, no problem!"

Niu Ping'an was not stingy. He let Yan Bugui listen if he wanted to, and he didn't say anything sarcastic like Xu Damao did.

Seeing that Niu Ping'an agreed readily, Yan Bugui let him go with satisfaction.

"Okay! Go ahead and get busy!"

After saying goodbye to Yan Bugui, Niu Ping'an walked through the hall and entered the middle courtyard, where he saw Qin Huairu coming out of Shazhu's house with a few bills in her hand.

Sha Zhu stood at the door with a silly look on his face to see him off.

It turned out that Qin Huairu returned to Jia's house after having a banquet at Yan's house at noon, and Jia Zhang urged her to buy cotton and cloth quickly.

Bang Geng also looked at her expectantly.

There was no other way, Qin Huairu could only wash clothes while waiting for Sha Zhu to come home.

Sha Zhu was not at home in the morning because he was preparing a banquet for the Yan family. When he got home after work in the afternoon, Qin Huairu came to visit him.

First they hung up the clothes for Shazhu, then they cleaned up the house for him, and finally they performed a series of sensational performances.

Sha Zhu couldn't stand Qin Huairu's tricks and willingly contributed the bills.

Niu Ping'an looked at the two of them curiously, then turned to look at He Yushui's house.

Just then, I saw He Yushui standing in front of the window with an expressionless face, watching the situation in Sha Zhu's house.

Noticing Niu Ping'an's gaze, He Yushui lowered the curtains and hid himself.

Qin Huairu quickly put the bill in her hand into her pocket, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

When he saw the radio that Niu Ping'an was holding, his eyes lit up.

"Ping An, is this a radio?"

The Jia family didn’t have a radio, but even if they hadn’t eaten pork, they had seen pigs run, so Qin Huairu could still recognize the appearance of the radio.

"Yeah, I just bought it!"

Sha Zhu had already withdrawn his gaze from Qin Huairu, walked out of the house and trotted to Niu Ping'an.

He unceremoniously picked up the radio from Niu Ping'an's hand and looked at it carefully.

“This pattern looks so beautiful!”

Sha Zhu sighed, and Qin Huairu also came forward to take a closer look, and touched the pattern on the radio with her hand.

"It's quite pretty! Isn't it cheap?"

"About two hundred yuan!" Niu Ping'an replied.

"Wow, you got rich? You're so generous!"

Sha Zhu was shocked by the price. This radio was equivalent to his five months salary.

Qin Huairu was also a little shocked. She didn't expect Niu Ping'an to be so rich and willing to spend money so generously.

The pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Niu Ping'an with tears in their eyes.

"Brother Zhuzi, the price is a bit high, but it's actually nothing if you use it for a few more years.

Besides, I am getting older, and it will be inconvenient to talk about my wife when the time comes!"

Niu Ping'an didn't even look at Qin Huairu, which indirectly provoked Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu heard the silence and nodded without responding.

It seems that the many failed blind dates have dealt him a heavy blow, and he is no longer enthusiastic about finding a wife.

Qin Huairu noticed Sha Zhu's expression and breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

He was a little annoyed at Niu Ping'an's repeated disregard.

"Ping An, you are still young, but you are already thinking about getting married?

I'll introduce you to her then?"

Qin Huairu was quite thick-skinned and insisted on finding a topic to join in.

"I'm not old enough yet, sister-in-law Huairu, please introduce someone to brother Zhuzi first!"

Qin Huairu’s social circle is so small, and Niu Ping’an doesn’t believe that she has any good resources, let alone asking her for help.

If you owe the Jia family a favor, she will blackmail you sooner or later.

"Yes, Sister Qin, please introduce one to me first!"

When Sha Zhu heard that Qin Huairu wanted to introduce a date to Niu Ping'an, he became interested again.

Yan Bugui's circle is full of teachers. After the incident with Ran Qiuye, Sha Zhu realized that intellectuals might not look down on him as a cook.

Therefore, whenever Yan Bugui wanted to introduce him to someone, he refused.

Qin Huairu's circle is different. They are either from rural areas or working class, and their requirements are not too high.

But now Sha Zhu looks down on the rural people, and he can't stand without a quota.

"There is a girl in my hometown who is prettier than me, but she is younger. She is only sixteen this year."

Niu Ping'an understood that the person Qin Huairu was talking about should be Qin Jingru.

I haven't seen her in person, but from the TV series, she looks really beautiful.

When Sha Zhu first heard that she was Qin Huairu's biological sister, he rejected it in his heart.

But when he heard that she was as pretty as his sister Qin, he felt moved again.

It’s a pity that I’m not of age yet, otherwise it wouldn’t be a bad idea to meet him first.

"Pity!"

Sha Zhu's heart felt like it was on a roller coaster, being tossed up and down all the time.

"Don't worry, Zhuzi, just wait and see. I'll introduce her to you when the time comes.

My cousin wants to marry into the city. She is pretty and capable. You have plenty of opportunities!"

Qin Huairu painted a big picture for Sha Zhu.

Proposing to introduce a partner to Niu Ping'an today is a brilliant move that kills two birds with one stone.

Whether it's Niu Ping'an or Sha Zhu, as long as one of them takes the bait, it'll be fine.

Niu Ping'an took the bait and became involved with the Jia family.

Now that Sha Zhu has taken the bait, he won’t think about blind dates for the time being.

"Okay! Sister Qin, remember to bring her to our courtyard when the time comes. I'll be responsible for the reception!"

Sure enough, Sha Zhu took the cake made by Qin Huairu and even fantasized about the sister duo in his mind.

"no problem!"

Qin Huairu agreed immediately.

Niu Ping'an watched the two of them chatting happily and did not disturb them.

Only after they finished discussing did Niu Ping'an take the radio back from Sha Zhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, Sister Huairu, you guys chat, I'm going back!"

"okay!"

Sha Zhu was in a good mood after getting Qin Huairu's promise.

Qin Huairu achieved her goal and was very happy.

But Niu Ping'an didn't fall into the trap at all, which made her feel helpless.
