Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Li Dongfang, who came last, didn't feel anything, but Qin Huairu was extremely excited. Li Dongfang pointed at the bicycle and said to Qin Huairu, "Do you want to ride it for a walk?"

Qin Huairu quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I don't know how to ride."

Li Dongfang said with a smile: "If you don't know how to ride, I'll teach you. Let's go and find a place with few people."

As he said this, he took Qin Huairu and rode towards Houhai. Although the road condition there was not very good, there were not many people, especially in the winter. Even those who came to fish would only come in the afternoon.

Li Dongfang sat on the back seat with his legs crossed, supporting himself with his legs on the ground, holding onto the seat, and letting Qin Huairu sit on it. He said:

"Hold on to the handlebars. Wherever the car is leaning, turn a little bit in that direction. Just a little bit will be enough. Come on, try it first. Don't be afraid. I'll hold you up so you won't fall."

"Okay, then you hold on, I'll try." Qin Huairu pushed the pedal hard, and the bike immediately tilted in the direction of her foot. Fortunately, Li Dongfang was prepared. He clamped the bike with his legs and put his arms around Qin Huairu's waist, so she didn't fall.

"Where are you...where are you putting your hands?"

"Hey, don't catch..."

"Don't pinch my butt..."

After spending more than an hour, the teaching effect was not very good. Qin Huairu could only ride barely, but Li Dongfang enjoyed it.

I taught him how to slide the bike and get on and off the bike for a while, and then stopped when I saw that it was almost noon.

Li Dongfang got on his bike again and took Qin Huairu to find a place to eat. This time, Qin Huairu sat on the front beam and was held in Li Dongfang's arms. Qin Huairu did not feel shy. After all, they knew each other well. Li Dongfang had taken advantage of her when she was learning to ride a bike just now. Besides, they would not meet any acquaintances here, so she enjoyed Li Dongfang's embrace generously.

"Thank you, Dongfang."

"What's there to thank me for? Besides, is there any need to thank each other for our relationship?"

"Dongfang, you don't know that I have been married to the Jia family for the past few years... Although I am not starving, it is not much better than the countryside..." Qin Huairu was in Li Dongfang's arms, with her head leaning on his shoulder, whispering the distress in her heart.

"Now you have me, your life will get better and better in the future, believe me." Li Dongfang did not expect that the Jia family was much harsher to Qin Huairu than he had imagined, and they treated her like a maid.

"Well, I'm glad to have met you. I also feel that there is hope in my life." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

At that moment, Li Dongfang felt that Qin Huairu was glowing like the morning sun in spring. He almost wanted to pull her into the woods. Unfortunately, it was too cold that day, and the trees were bare and provided no shelter, so he had to give up.

He took Qin Huairu to Quanjude to eat roast duck. Although it was limited, it was fortunate that they were limited to one whole duck. However, Li Dongfang felt that even the ducks were skinny due to hunger in this disaster year. They were not as plump and plump as he had imagined. They were skinny and not much bigger than pigeons... But Qin Huairu still ate very happily. The smile on her face never stopped. Not only did she eat herself, she also wrapped it in small biscuits and fed it to Li Dongfang. The two of them ate the whole duck and drank two bowls of hot duck bone soup before leaving.

Qin Huairu felt that she had lived in vain for so many years. Since she started cooking for Li Dongfang, the things she had eaten during this period were things she had never imagined before. In this day and age when no one had enough to eat, not only did she have to eat steamed buns and rice every day with Li Dongfang, but she also had to eat all kinds of meat. Even in the past few years when the years were good, she had never heard of anyone living like this.

He took Qin Huairu back to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought her a 8-jin thick quilt and the thickest mattress. He also planned to buy her some clothes, but Qin Huairu refused to agree. After a long discussion, he finally bought her a set of thin cotton-padded clothes and trousers. It is worth mentioning that Qin Huairu chose a red dress. Li Dongfang stared at her meaningfully all the way. Qin Huairu blushed and didn't talk to him all the way.

While riding his bike, Li Dongfang stole a glance at Qin Huairu, whose face was flushed, and silently checked her favorability in his heart. The favorability was 80! Li Dongfang's eyes lit up immediately, and he was thinking about how to bring her into the space without revealing the secrets of the space.

The two of them were thinking about their own things and walked all the way back to the intersection of the courtyard. Qin Huairu finally struggled to get off the bike. The two pushed the bike back to the courtyard. They didn't meet anyone along the way. The middle courtyard was quiet and the gate of the Jia family was closed. They didn't know if Jia Zhang was at home. But this was exactly what Li Dongfang wanted. He put the bike under the eaves, took Qin Huairu and the things she bought and went into the house. After locking the door again, Li Dongfang hugged Qin Huairu and said with shortness of breath:

"I have a secret, do you want to know?"
