Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

After comforting Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu pinched Qin Jingru's face:

"Look at this little face, so tender and juicy, so cute!"

"By the way, Jingru, doesn't their family make chopped pepper fish head? Send two cucumbers to their house to cleanse their mouths."

"If you're invited to stay for dinner, don't say anything else. Just eat your meal."

"Ok!"

Qin Jingru nodded heavily: "Then I'll take three!"

After saying that, Qin Jingru took three cucumbers and ran to the backyard.

Qin Huairu shook her head, picked up the remaining food and went home.

……

Seeing that Qin Huairu was determined not to go over to ask for the fish, Jia Zhang had no other choice but to find a way to coax Banggeng. By the time Qin Huairu went back, she had almost coaxed him.

"Good! Listen, you see Shazhu hasn't come back yet so late. It must be because the factory is having a banquet. It's specially for the factory leaders. It must be tastier than what they cook at home!"

"Then we'll be jealous of him too!"

Bang Geng could only stop talking, and after he stood up, he glared at Qin Huairu in dissatisfaction: "Humph!"

Qin Huairu curled her lips and didn't take it to heart at all.

……

On the other side, Qin Jingru excitedly walked into Wang Hongtao's house holding three cucumbers.

"Brother Tao, I brought you some cucumbers. Cucumbers can reduce internal heat and go perfectly with the chopped pepper fish head!"

After entering the room, Qin Jingru found that in addition to Wang Hongtao, Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li were also there. She froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Wang Hongtao had a good impression of Qin Jingru and greeted her:

"Jingru is here, have you eaten yet?"

“Not yet…” Qin Jingru answered embarrassedly.

"Then you can stay and eat together."

"Yu Li, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy ten bottles of Beibingyang."

"Jingru, go and help get it too."

"Call Abin along when you come back."

After saying that, Wang Hongtao handed Yu Li three dollars and fifty cents.

At that time, the most prestigious drink in the city and even in the whole Dragon Country was Arctic Ocean.

The price of a bottle was 35 cents, and the empty bottle would be returned at 20 cents, totaling 15 cents per bottle. In the 1950s and 1960s, Beibingyang soda was considered a luxury item, and 15 cents was enough for an ordinary person to spend on groceries for a day.

Yu Li and Qin Jingru stuck out their tongues, took the money and went out. To be honest, not many people were willing to buy ten bottles at once.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care about the bottles of soda, but she was a little jealous of the sudden appearance of two women at the dinner.

It's not uncommon for women.

Lou Xiao'e pouted her lips and looked very unhappy.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

It seems to be saying: I'm angry, please comfort me quickly!

Wang Hongtao found it funny, so when no one was at home, he went over to sniff Lou Xiaoe's fair neck, kissed her and said:

"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Don't you want me to keep them for dinner?"

Lou Xiao'e turned her head and ignored him, her meaning was very clear.

Wang Hongtao then gently embraced Lou Xiaoe and whispered in her ear:

"Be good, I'm actually doing this for your reputation."

"If it were just the two of us, a man and a woman, sitting in the same room to eat, would the neighbors not gossip about us?"

"But if we invite Jingru and Yuli to join us, we won't have this worry. Don't you think this makes sense, sister-in-law?"

Lou Xiao'e just wanted to express her dissatisfaction and let Wang Hongtao comfort her, she was not really angry.

Seeing that Wang Hongtao gave her a way out, she stopped being stubborn and gently slapped Wang Hongtao's hand away, saying coquettishly:

"It's broad daylight, so be careful and don't take advantage of me."

Wang Hongtao kneaded it gently and then let go.

"Then wait until the evening. Sister-in-law, don't forget to eat more later. You will have a lot of hard work to do in the evening..."

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Wang Hongtao charmingly and said nothing. Everything was said without words.

……

After a while, Yu Li and Qin Jingru came back with bottles of Arctic Ocean soda, followed by Wang Hongbin, who was as strong as a bear.

After entering the door, Wang Hongbin saw that except for his eldest brother, the other three were all beautiful young girls and wives. He didn't know what to address them for a moment.

"What are you standing there for? Don't you recognize me?"

"This is Jingru."

"This is Yu Li from Uncle Sanye's family, and this is Lou Xiao'e from Xu Damao's family."

Lou Xiao'e said calmly, "Why is it so troublesome? What's the point of calling Xu Damao's family or Third Uncle's family? Just call her sister-in-law together with your brother."

Wang Hongtao's hand trembled as he took the Arctic Ocean!

Just call sister-in-law?

That’s something to say!

Yu Li blushed and looked at Lou Xiao'e, with a bit of resentment and shyness on her face.

Lou Xiao'e didn't think it was wrong at all: "Why are you looking at me? His brother calls me sister-in-law, is there anything wrong with Abin following his brother's call?"

Wang Hongbin scratched his head and acted simple and honest: "Hello, my two sisters-in-law!"

Now Lou Xiao'e finally realized what was wrong and her face immediately turned red.

To ease the embarrassment, Wang Hongtao quickly greeted:

"Well... don't just stand there, sit down and eat."

“While it’s hot…”

After saying that, he put two chopsticks together, pried open the Arctic Ocean, and passed it to them one by one.

There are no straws at this time, you just drink directly from the bottle.

Qin Jingru took a sip and said happily: "Soda is really delicious. This is the first time I have tasted it."

Wang Hongtao: "If it tastes good, drink more. There are several bottles over there!"

Qin Jingru nodded her head quickly and her eyes narrowed into a line.

While we were eating, Yan Jiecheng walked in.

"Oh, are you eating?" Yan Jiecheng said awkwardly.

Wang Hongtao was very dissatisfied with Yan Jiecheng's uninvited visit. He frowned and said, "Why did you come here, Jiecheng? What's the matter?"

"Well... I saw Yu Li hasn't been home for a long time, so I came to see what's going on."

Yan Jiecheng could naturally see Wang Hongtao's dissatisfaction, but he just stood there and didn't leave, thinking that as long as I wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.

It would be better if Wang Hongtao felt sorry for me and asked me to sit down and eat something.

"If you've seen it and you're fine, then go back quickly. We're having dinner here and don't have time to entertain you."

"If you really have something to do or are really worried, you can call Yu Li back now!"

Other people may not be able to bring themselves to do that but Wang Hongtao won’t. What status do you have, Yan Jie? Why should I invite you to sit down and eat?

If this is started, there may be three uncles tomorrow, and three aunts the day after tomorrow…

Damn it, do you really think this is a restaurant?!

Seeing Yan Jiecheng like this, Yu Li was very embarrassed. She stood up and pulled Yan Jiecheng aside and reprimanded him in a low voice:

"Yan Jiecheng! Tell me what you want to do?"

"If you don't want to live like this, just say so! Do you really have to slap me in the face in front of so many people?"

"How can I continue to work in the Wang family after what you have done to me?"

"You don't want me to go to Wang's house to cook, right?! Fine! I won't go!"

"I didn't mean that, I just..."

"I am…"

When Yan Jiecheng heard Yu Li say she couldn't come to cook, he immediately panicked.

He had just sneaked out of the house, thinking that he would get away with it if he could, and even if he couldn't, he wouldn't suffer any loss. Who would have thought that things would develop to this extent?

Yu Li charges 20 cents for cooking a meal, which means six dollars a month, and she can bring back some leftovers from time to time.

If I really messed up, not to mention Uncle Three, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself!

"I was wrong, Yu Li. I'll go back right now, right now!"

"Wait!"

"I'm telling you, Yan Jiecheng, this is the first time and the last time. I won't do this kind of work again!"

"You guys are shameless, but I still have some dignity!"

"Yes, yes! There will definitely not be a next time!"

"Well, if there are any leftovers after you finish eating, bring them back. Dad said he will decide what to cook for dinner after you come back."

After saying that, Yan Jiecheng ran out without looking back.

Yu Li suppressed the anger on her face and walked back apologetically.

"Um... I'm really sorry for making everyone laugh just now..."
