Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

The two girls were shocked to hear Director Jin calling them "Sister" and Qin Huairu "Sister." It turned out they were all acquaintances! That meant she was also very familiar with Brother Lin Chen!

Joining Qin Huairu today were Chen Xueru, Wen Yunqing, Xu Huizhen, Wen Li, An Xin, Tian Zao, and Chang Siqi, all of whom were older sisters. They were all bored and wanted to go for a stroll.

Except for Chang Siqi, the others were all taking care of the kids, so they just came out to take a break. Anyway, Aunt Wang and the others were taking care of the kids at home...

People like Bai Manning, Shi Feifei, An Jie, Zhang Duoduo, and Ye Xiaolang from the steel rolling mill had already seen it, so they did not miss out on joining in the fun today.

"Oh, thank you Director Jin for giving us a ride. To be honest, we don't even know where Donglaishun is..."

Jin Canlan looked at the two pretty girls and smiled cheerfully, "You're welcome. Sister Liang was worried you wouldn't be able to find Donglaishun, so she asked me to pick you up. By the way, where is your hometown?"

The three of them chatted all the way to Wangfujing...

Qin Huairu hasn't arrived at Donglaishun yet, but everything is ready in the private room.

These days, most people can't afford to eat this delicacy. It's already a great thing for a few people to have a pound of mutton hotpot with a few pieces of tender tofu.

There are now three copper pots in the Lin family's private room... After all, there are a lot of people here tonight, and one copper pot is not enough.

It was early spring, the lean season between harvest and harvest. The women from the courtyards would go out in groups to the western suburbs to dig wild vegetables to supplement their family income, but the ingredients Qin Huairu was using for her dinner were all rare and unavailable on the market.

Donglaishun currently does not have high-quality ingredients such as morels, porcini, matsutake, and black truffles, so Zhao Hu specially delivered these early in the afternoon.

Even at the bottom of the pot you can now find various nourishing things such as cordyceps sinensis and century-old ginseng roots.

The plates of freshly cut beef and mutton are not ordinary ingredients. The self-sufficient cattle and sheep in Lin Chen's space are all precious breeds.

The meat is tender and plump, and the portion is large enough to satisfy your appetite today.

Even the cheapest sprouts are rare ingredients in this season.

If someone else ordered this meal, not even a small yellow croaker would be enough.

When Jin Canlan arrived early with her two younger sisters, Zhao Xinmei and Niu Shurong were stunned. They had never seen most of the dishes before...

Having not seen meat for many days, they instinctively swallowed their saliva. The beef and mutton were simply too tempting...

"Director Jin, this... isn't this too much? Sister Huairu prepared such a sumptuous meal! We are just ordinary girls from other places. Even if she prepared a few side dishes, she would think highly of us..."

After Jin Canlan pulled the two of them to sit down, she was about to pour water for them. Niu Shurong hurriedly took the teapot and poured tea for Jin Canlan.

They don't dare to ask the director to pour water for them...

"Sister Huairu is so hospitable and warm to everyone. Since you are Jingru and Lingling's friends, we should treat you well. But Jingru has to attend evening self-study today so she can't come, but it will be the same if Sister Liang is here later. She has praised you for your intelligence and ability more than once... Brother Lin Chen must be right in arranging you to work in the steel rolling mill."

Liang Ladi has been paying attention to the two little girls these days. If she was not satisfied, she would not have made such a big fuss to have dinner together today.

At this moment, Jin Canlan used another killer move.

"By the way, take a look at this! It's a telegram that just came in this afternoon. It's for you."

Zhao Xinmei and Niu Shurong have been waiting for news these days, and they didn't dare to ask Secretary Lin whether he had sent a telegram to their hometown.

Zhao Xinmei opened the folded paper, and there were only a few words on it... The general meaning was that her mother had been sent to the hospital for treatment and her condition was improving, while the Niu family's charges were dropped and they no longer had to worry about being criticized when they went to school every day.

After passing it around, the two little girls' eyes became wet with excitement.

Jin Canlan patted their shoulders and said with a smile, "These are things that Brother Lin Chen can handle with just a word. Now you can go back to work at the steel mill with peace of mind!"

Zhao Xinmei and Niu Shurong wiped their eyes and nodded desperately, and the storm finally subsided.

"Well, we feel much more relieved now! Thank you, Secretary Lin..."

Compared to Jin Canlan, Bai Manning, Tian Zao, Xian Yi, and Liu Huixin, who were all without parents, Lin Chen could easily win them over. After all, they didn't have to deal with family matters, but most of the women in the Lin family had parents. Some of them were even more troublesome, such as the Qiao family...

At this moment, Liang Ladi pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Chen Xueru supporting Qin Huairu...

"So you're already here! Come, come, let me introduce you..."

The two little girls stood up hurriedly. They really didn't know anyone except Liang Ladi and Jin Canlan.

Liang Ladi began to introduce them one by one, and the two little girls called them one by one.

Zhao Xinmei and Niu Shurong were now curious. Why were all Qin Huairu's friends beautiful women? And each one was more elegant than the other... They all looked quite extraordinary.

"Thank you, Sister Huairu, for hosting us. In fact, a simpler one would be fine."

Qin Huairu nodded cheerfully: "Hey, don't stand, let's eat and talk at the same time. Don't call me sister-in-law from now on, just call me sister like them... I'm not feeling well, so I won't serve you any food, please don't be polite. You must eat your fill today..."

Now, not to mention the clever little Zhao Xinmei, even the honest Niu Shurong felt something was wrong. Even good sisters have to be divided by age!

But it's obvious that Sister Wen and Sister Zao are older than Qin Huairu! What's their generational relationship? Could it be that they're all trying to curry favor with Secretary Lin? But that's too awkward! It doesn't look like currying favor, does it?

Now the two girls didn't dare to discuss or ask why, so they could only follow the others and start eating. They listened to them talk about interesting things, and answered everything the others asked truthfully. They also didn't say anything nonsense unless the others asked...

"Hey, thank you Sister Huairu for treating us to such a delicious meal today. We haven't eaten this before..."

"Don't be polite. You don't have many friends in the Forbidden City. We will be your friends from now on... Eat more today. You need to replenish your energy."

At this moment, Jin Canlan suddenly asked why Sister Bai Ling didn't come. As a result, Tian Zao said that she would follow Lin Chen to Commander Wu's house for dinner.

The conversation between the two seemed ordinary, but for Zhao Xinmei and Niu Shurong, it was room for imagination.

Now the two girls were wondering who Sister Bai Ling was and why Brother Lin Chen took her to dinner at the Commander's house.

Bai Ling, like Qin Huairu, is due to give birth next month! So, Lin Chen naturally wanted to accompany her uncle Wu, as it was Bai Ling's family after all.
