Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

When they left the steel mill, the sisters' mentality was completely different from when they came.

Holding the money and food coupons tightly in their pockets, the two sisters were calm, although they had to agree to some embarrassing conditions out of helplessness.

But no matter how embarrassing it is, what a couple does behind closed doors is unacceptable.

Qin Huairu hasn't been home for a long time, so she could take this opportunity to go home and visit.

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to go back, but I was too embarrassed to go back.

Qin Jingru no longer worried about being sent to Zhao Quezi's house.

Because this time the two sisters were no longer driven back, but returned home in glory.

The saying "If you have food in your hands, you won't be worried" is exactly this truth. It's the same as being a writer of online novels. You must have manuscripts in your hands, otherwise you will be very worried.

Qin Huairu took Qin Jingru to buy two kilograms of white flour and several dozen kilograms of corn flour.

You can’t buy meat, and you don’t dare to buy it. It is said that the price of meat on the black market has risen to more than ten yuan per pound. If you two weak women carry meat, won’t you attract robbery?

They even mixed two kilograms of white flour with corn flour before they dared to take it away.

The bus shook and swayed for two hours before it arrived at Qinjiatun.

Qin Jingru was timid and couldn't speak, so Qin Huairu accompanied Qin Jingru back first.

Sure enough, when her family saw Qin Jingru coming back, they were furious.

"You stupid girl, you still remember to come back? Do you know that your family is almost out of food?"

"Wait at home, I'll call your dad and brother back!"

After saying that, Jingru's mother ran outside.

"Sister, what should I do? How about we run away?"

Qin Jingru was very scared when she saw her mother's attitude. She was not the same as she was a few days ago.

At that time, Qin Jingru was truly desperate and resigned to her fate.

But it’s different now. Before coming, Wang Hongtao gave her money and tickets, and said that he would definitely bring the two sisters back to the city in the next two days.

With hope, Qin Jingru naturally wanted to give it a try.

But if she was sent to Zhao Guizi's house, Brother Tao would definitely not want her!

In desperation, Qin Jingru just wanted to run away. She would be willing to run away from Qinjiatun and back to Sijiucheng.

"It's okay, Jingru. When Uncle Mancang comes back, we can explain it to him. Don't forget that we are not coming back empty-handed this time."

"Oh." Qin Jingru finally felt relieved after being reminded.

That’s right, isn’t it for food that my family wants to marry me off?

It’s just food, we have it!

……

After a while, Qin Mancang returned from the production team with Jingru's two brothers.

"You damn girl, it took you so long to come back!"

"Jinghua, go to Zhao Quezi's house and tell him that our Jingru is back and ask him if the engagement is still valid."

"I don't want to marry Zhao Quezi!" Qin Jingru screamed.

"Uncle Mancang, and Jinghua, come back later." Qin Huairu stepped forward to stop the two.

Qin Mancang took a puff of his pipe:

"Huai Ru, you are back too?"

"Hey, I know you feel sorry for Jingru, but Third Uncle can't do anything about it. We really can't afford to eat at home, and we need food to save our lives!"

"Jingru, Dad knows I've wronged you, but no matter how much you blame me, I still have to do this."

"Your two sisters-in-law are still sleeping in the room."

"Do you know why? Because they don't feel hungry when they fall asleep. They haven't eaten since last night."

"I know Uncle Mancang, so Jingru and I came back with food."

"Look, there are two big bags full of cornmeal and white flour!"

As she spoke, Qin Huairu untied the bag and brought it to Qin Mancang.

"Where did all this food come from? Did you take it from your husband's family?"

"I...Although my third uncle wants it very much, his family can't afford to lend it to me."

Qin Mancang wanted to reach out and take it several times, but he stopped. Who doesn't know that food is precious these days? In his opinion, these grains must have been borrowed by Qin Huairu, and they must be returned!

"Uncle San, what are you thinking? This grain does not belong to the Jia family, and the Jia family will never let me bring grain back."

"To tell you the truth, someone in our courtyard has a crush on Jingru, and he asked us to bring back these grains. You can accept them without worry!"

Qin Huairu explained with a smile. She didn't say that the man who liked Jingru was Wang Hongtao. She was not sure whether Wang Hongtao would marry Jingru, so she just said some ambiguous words.

"Is that so, Jingru? What's that person's name? What does he do?" Qin Mancang looked at Qin Jingru suspiciously. If this good news really happened, why didn't she say it?

Qin Jingru nodded with a red face.

Qin Huairu quickly changed the subject: "Oh uncle, don't worry about this for now. The matter has not been decided yet. Now it's just an intention. Are you afraid that Jingru will suffer with me watching over her?"

"Oh, Uncle San, Jingru and I are coming back to put on a show this time, and we may need your family to come over and help keep things under control!"

Qin Mancang patted his chest and said, "No problem. We are all from the Qin family. If you break my arm and the tendons are connected, you decide what to do!"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes:

"Well, you go back to work now, and come to my parents' house for dinner, and we can talk while we eat."

"But don't ever say anything about marrying Jingru to Zhao Quezi again. Don't even have the thought of it!"

Qin Mancang touched his nose embarrassedly: "What you said is true. If you want to survive, who would be willing to push their daughter into the fire pit? Uncle San has no choice..."

"Alright, alright, I'll take Jingru back first, and you guys can come over when it's time for dinner."

"okay!"

……

After the Qin sisters left, Jingru's mother hurriedly poured the grain into the jar.

"Oh, there's white flour! There must be a pound of it, right?"

He divided the grain he brought back into the house in half, keeping half at Qin Jingru's house and taking the remaining half to Qin Huairu's house.

When they returned to Qin Huairu's home, Qin's mother Sun Xiaohong rubbed her eyes in disbelief at first. Then when she found out that the person coming was Qin Huairu, she immediately turned around and closed the door, doing all the actions in one go.

In order to make Qin Huairu's life easier in her husband's family, the Qin family only asked for a five-yuan betrothal gift.

Qin Huairu, on the other hand, has only come back twice in all these years of marriage. She is dressed beautifully and has a graceful figure. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is living a good life.

But Qin Huairu came back empty-handed, both times!

What do you call this? An ungrateful wolf!

Your parents have raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay them?

The folks all think that you, Qin Huairu, married well, and our whole family also benefits from you!

If I had known earlier, I would have married you to a country man, so that I could have exchanged dozens of kilograms of food for you!

"Mom, open the door, I have something to tell you!"

"Get lost! I, Sun Xiaohong, will pretend that I never gave birth to a daughter like you! You ungrateful thing!"

"Go back to the city and live your good life. We in the Qin family don't want you!"

Qin's mother cursed in a low voice through the door. She didn't want to make a big fuss and embarrass herself. After all, in the eyes of the villagers, Qin Huairu was a filial and family-oriented person.

The Qin family is very proud and has helped to cover up the matter over the years.

"Mom, will you listen to my explanation? If you still refuse to forgive me after I finish, I will turn around and leave, and never bother you again in this life."

"Mom, please open the door. Jingru is with me. We just came back from Uncle San's house!"

Crunch….

The door finally opened!

"Okay, then I'd like to hear your explanation!"
