Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Yan Bugui took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and said, "Just now Damao said that he wanted to introduce Qin Huairu's cousin to Jiefang. Lao Yi, do you think it's okay? I'm worried that if there's not enough food, it will be a burden to the family."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui asking him, he said, "Old Yan, I don't think it's that good. First of all, you know how difficult the Jia family is. Secondly, there is no fixed amount of things in the countryside. Now your Jiefang doesn't even have a stable job, let alone supporting his family. Let's find a job for your Jiefang first."

Yan Bugui also nodded. Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Wu and said, "Xu Wu, you can either move back home for a few days or wait for this storm to die down. Jia Zhang will be back soon and will definitely chase Qin Jingru back then."

Xu Wu: "Well, Uncle Yi, I will go home and stay for a few days starting tomorrow to avoid any trouble."

Yi Zhonghai: "Well, you can go on blind dates recently to see if there are any suitable girls."

After they had almost finished eating and drinking, Yan Bugui and Xu Wu said goodbye, but Xu Damao and Sha Zhu had not left yet.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao and said, "Tell me, Damao, what's the matter?"

Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu next to him and said, "Uncle Yi, isn't my wife pregnant again?"

Yi Zhonghai was surprised and said, "What's going on? You're pregnant again. Congratulations! Now your family will have 6 people."

Xu Damao took a sip of wine and said, "What's the big deal? Uncle Yi blames that Sha Zhu! Last time he did that Niu Huanxi thing!" Xu Damao glared at Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu lowered his head knowing that he was in the wrong, then he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Hey, my dish is considered a success, hahaha..."

Xu Damao curled his lips, and Yi Zhonghai said, "So what are you going to do?"

Xu Damao: "I definitely want this child. I just hope it's a daughter. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little. I heard the news today and planned to have a drink to relieve my boredom."

Yi Zhonghai continued to drink, while Sha Zhu and Xu Damao continued to bicker at the table. It was around 8:30 when Xu Damao and Sha Zhu finally said goodbye.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Xu Wu was carrying a lot of bags and was about to go back to his home to stay for a while. Qin Huairu saw Xu Wu carrying a lot of bags and asked, "Xu Wu, where are you going? Are you going on a long journey with so many bags?"

Xu Wu: "Sister-in-law Jia, I miss my mother. I'm leaving now and will go home to stay for a few days."

Qin Huairu didn't care about Xu Wu's address. She thought that Xu Wu rejected Qin Jingru because he was young and didn't know the benefits of having a wife.

Qin Huairu shouted into the house, "Jingru, Jingru, come out and help Xu Wu carry his things."

When Xu Wu heard this, he quickly broke free from Qin Huairu's hand and trotted away. Qin Huairu was angry and helpless.

Qin Jingru was still feeling sad about what happened yesterday in the room. Xu Wu's rejection was so direct that Qin Jingru couldn't accept it all at once. She thought she was a pretty girl in Qinjia Village.

Although my sister Qin Huairu taught me a lot of things last night, it was of no use. This Xu Wu family just went back home with a backpack, and my hope in the future is even slimmer.

After seeing the prosperity of the big city, Qin Jingru naturally didn't want to go back to guard her little piece of land in the countryside, but she also knew that Xu Wu would not like her, and there were other young men in the courtyard, so she had to find a city man as soon as possible and get married.

Yi Zhonghai lent his bicycle to Xu Wu early in the morning. Today he could only walk to work. On the way, Yi Zhonghai met Liu Haizhong. This guy hadn't seen Liu Pangpang for several days and had forgotten about him.

Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai and said flatteringly, "Old Yi, Old Yi, we haven't walked to work together for almost a few years. Since you bought a bicycle, I can't catch up with you."

Yi Zhonghai: "Lao Liu, I remember you said you wanted to buy a bicycle. You can also buy a bicycle."

Liu Haizhong sighed and said, "Old Yi, you know that my two bastards have graduated from junior high school now. I want to save some money to find a job for them."

Yi Zhonghai agreed. Even if Liu Haizhong beat Guangtian and Guangfu, they were still his biological sons after all. His eldest son had passed away for several years without any news, and Liu Haizhong was worried about his own retirement. Therefore, he did not follow the tradition of beating Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu as before.

The two of them chatted until they arrived at the steel rolling mill. Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with envy as he walked upstairs to the office, while he himself had to go to the forging workshop, which was hard and tiring. Liu Haizhong wondered when he could become a leader.

In the courtyard, Qin Jingru watched Qin Huairu go to work and asked Xiaodang to take Huaihua to play in the yard, while she strolled around the courtyard.

Qin Jingru joined the group of aunts and started chatting about family matters. Aunt Li said, "Oh, you are Qin Huairu's sister, right?"

Qin Jingru: "Yes, auntie, my name is Qin Jingru, and I am the sister of Qin Huairu's hometown."

Aunt Bai: "Jingru, are you here to help your sister take care of the children?"

Qin Jingru: "Yes, aunt, my sister's mother-in-law went in, I came here to look after Xiaodang and Huaihua."

Liu Guixiang deliberately asked, "Jingru, why did your sister take you to Xu Wu's house yesterday? How come Xu Wu went out with a lot of bags this morning?"

Qin Jingru was at a loss for words, and Aunt Li next to her said, "Old Liu's family, of course Qin Huairu wants to introduce Jingru to Xu Wu, but Jingru is indeed very pretty, with fair skin."

Aunt Bai: "Yes, all the girls in the Qin family are good-looking. When Qin Huairu first got married, she also had fair skin."

Several aunts talked to Qin Jingru about the Jia family. Only then did Qin Jingru realize that her sister's family had such a bad reputation in this courtyard, especially when she heard about Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu quarreling with each other when her brother-in-law was still alive, and Banggeng making mischief in the courtyard.

Qin Jingru felt that Qin Huairu's life in the city was not as good as people in the village said in recent years.

After chatting for a while, Qin Jingru went to the front yard for a walk and ran into Yan Jiefang who had just come back from doing odd jobs outside. Yan Jiefang didn't find a job today and was walking into the yard dejectedly. Suddenly, when he saw Qin Jingru, Yan Jiefang's mind suddenly came up.

Yan Jiefang pretended not to know him and said, "Hello, who are you? Why haven't I seen you in this yard before?"

Qin Jingru said a little nervously, "I am Qin Huairu's sister. My name is Qin Jingru. I just came here yesterday."

Yan Jiefang: "Oh, sister Jingru! You seem bored here, why don't we go out for a walk? I'm from the Yan family in the front yard."

When Qin Jingru heard that this was the son who was called a stingy teacher by her sister yesterday, but Yan Jiefang did not seem to be stingy, Qin Jingru decided to get in touch with Yan Jiefang.
