Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Walking on the street, there were few people on the street. As she walked, she thought about what to do in the future. Qin Jingru simply went to the street to ask if there were any factories hiring workers or temporary workers.

There was a security guard guarding the gate of the neighborhood committee. I went over to ask, "Uncle, do you have any recruitment information here, temporary workers or something like that?" he asked nervously.

The gatekeeper looked at a little girl next to him, who was dignified and pretty, and asked him nervously, "The work is very tight now. Most of the jobs are stable, and they are passed down from one generation to the next. Some temporary workers have to wait for orders before they can get a job. They work on paper shells, matchboxes and the like." The old man told her that because the situation is serious, there are not many jobs.

I left the neighborhood committee in frustration. I really didn't want to go back to live with my cousin's family. Besides, I had no place to live and no food to eat.

Xu Damao had just come back from the countryside on his bicycle. When he saw Qin Jingru on the street, his eyes flashed and he rode to her side and called out, "Jingru, why are you shopping here?"

When she saw Xu Damao, she told him about the hospital and how she wanted to find a job and a place to live. Xu Damao exaggerated some of the things that happened between Sha Zhu and his cousin. He also said that it was difficult to find a job now, so she had to buy one, and she might not be able to find one.

Although she was a little angry when she heard what Xu Damao said, there were signs after all. She originally came here to find a job and stay in the city for a blind date, so she had a beginning and an end. It would be best if she had a place to go in these two days. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to be stuck between Sha Zhu and her cousin. Besides, her cousin didn't want her to stay here. She thanked Xu Damao for what he said and said she would go shopping nearby.

I don't know how I ended up in the East District, where many high-ranking officials and people of high status live, and where there are many courtyard houses. When she was about to turn around an alley and walk back, a bicycle came rushing in front of her without stopping and hit her directly.

Bang bang bang!

There was a loud noise and Qin Jingru was knocked down. Her calf was in great pain. A trace of pain came up from her calf, and cold sweat kept flowing down her forehead.

"Girl, are you okay? I'm so sorry." The young man, who looked to be in his 30s, a handsome, mature man, looked at her nervously. The girl looked pitiful, with tears in her eyes, as if she was about to fall. "See where you are injured. I'll take you to the hospital."

Qin Jingru felt that only her calves could not move and her abdomen was hit. She told the man about the injuries.

Li Huaide had something urgent to do today so he didn't look at the road. When he turned a corner, he bumped into the girl. He squatted down apologetically, looked at her little feet, and carefully rolled up the trouser legs to her calves. Looking at the delicate touch of the white skin on her feet, his fingers unconsciously rubbed for a while, and saw a purple patch under the knee, with blood. This patch of skin was a bit of an eyesore, so Li Huaide took her to the hospital to bandage the wound and apply medicine.

Li Huaide held the bicycle and asked Qin Jingru to sit carefully on the back. He rode the bicycle carefully to the hospital, feeling the warmth and fragrance on his back, and couldn't concentrate. After arriving at the hospital, the registration nurse helped clean the wound, apply medicine and bandage, and whispered to the nurse that the girl still had a wound on her stomach, and walked to the door to wait.

After the nurse treated the wound, she came to the door and told the man that the wound was not serious, only the calf was slightly injured, it was just a skin injury and would not affect walking. The abdomen was just slightly bruised and some medicine had been applied. I will go to check out after getting the medicine, and I can apply it once a day when I go back.

After Li Huaide paid the fee at the window and got the medicine, he told Qin Jingru to change the medicine every day and asked where she lived. He would wait for her to go home.

"No, I'm fine. I can go back. But how much does the medicine cost?" Qin Jingru didn't want to owe anyone money.

"No need to pay it back, I was the one who hurt you, this is not much money," Li Huaide said cheerfully. With his wealth, he didn't care about this little money at all. He was the one who made the mistake first, and he also got to know this little beauty.

Seeing that it was almost afternoon, Li Huaide dragged Qin Jingru to the state-owned canteen for dinner. They ordered four special dishes and eight white flour buns. Qin Jingru sat beside them with a red face and said embarrassedly that you spent money.

Li Huaide said that he should apologize to you for injuring you, and he should have treated you to a meal.

Qin Jingru thought that if she went back, there would be no food to eat, so she might as well eat here before going back, so she didn't refuse anymore.

The meal was not fast. Li Huaide watched the beautiful girl in front of him eat happily and wanted to find out where she lived. He chatted with her. She came here from the countryside for a blind date and lived with her cousin. After dinner, it was getting late, so he rode his bike to send her back.

Let Li Huaide stop not far from the courtyard gate, so as to avoid being seen by people in the courtyard, and then it would be difficult to explain. Qin Jingru blushed slightly, looked at Li Huaide, said thank you, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Li Huaide smiled at her face, knowing that Qin Jingru had feelings for him, which was great. An 18-year-old girl like this, who was very beautiful and had fair and delicate skin, was rarely seen in this area. He had not remarried for five years since his wife passed away, and he did not want to be controlled by someone, nor did he feel moved. He had only made deals with those women, but now that he had met Qin Jingru, he felt that his heart was alive again and was beating non-stop. A man like him would do everything he could to get a girl he liked, so he smiled, thinking that the situation was settled, and turned away.

"Where did Jingru go this afternoon?" Qin Huairu saw that her cousin walked a little strangely, with holes and dust on her calves, so she asked nervously, "Are you injured?" She told her cousin that she was accidentally bumped into by someone and her calf was bruised. She went to the hospital to change the medicine before returning.

"That was too careless. Did the other party give any compensation? You can't just hit someone and not give them anything." There was a calculating look in Qin Huairu's eyes.

Qin Jingru said nothing, just said that the medical bills had been paid.

Jia Zhang heard the man muttering that he should be compensated with several dozen yuan and should not be allowed to go. The medical expenses should be paid and there should be compensation. If I were there, I would have made him pay even for his underwear.

Qin Huairu stood by without saying anything. After her mother-in-law left, she brought out a bowl of thin soup from the kitchen and gave it to her cousin, saying that there was not much food at home and that she should just drink the soup.

Seeing that there were only a few grains of coarse grains in the soup, she didn't dare to drink it. Who knows if her mother-in-law and Banggeng added anything to it. She refused and said that she couldn't eat it now because her wound hurt a little, so she asked her cousin to drink it. She didn't say anything and drank it all.

After Qin Huairu finished drinking, she twisted her eyes and evaded the question, "Cousin, do you like that silly Zhu?"

"Cousin, you don't have to introduce that chef to me. What you said to my parents at the beginning is completely different. He is a chef, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he earns 50 or 60 yuan a month. I heard that Sha Zhu had dated many times before, but all failed." Qin Jingru looked at her unkindly. "It's rumored in the yard that you washed Sha Zhu's pants and washed his clothes in front of his blind date. Today at noon, you did this again, making people misunderstand that Sha Zhu is involved with the widow. Since you are not sincere in introducing a date, why do you keep saying it?"

In the kitchen, Jia Zhang opened the door to eavesdrop. When she heard this, she immediately exploded. She kicked the door open and pointed at Qin Huairu and cursed, "You betrayed Dongxu, had an affair with Shazhu, and you are sorry for Banggeng. You are still a member of the Jia family even if you die." Qin Huairu cried out of grievance after hearing these words, and explained that this was not what she meant. Jia Zhang just couldn't listen to her and kept cursing.

The noise was so loud that it was heard outside. Several uncles came. Everyone who heard the noise ran out, holding their bowls and watching. The first uncle hurried over to persuade Jia Zhangshi not to bully Qin Huairu, and the first aunt also supported Qin Huairu to persuade her. Sha Zhu saw that Jia Zhangshi was bullying Qin Jie, so he said a few words and scolded him as well.

The old man had no choice but to ask Qin Jingru to find out the whole story. He knew that the blind date with Sha Zhu would not work out. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He thought about why Qin Huairu was like this. In order to get the lunch box and have Sha Zhu's help, she would go to disrupt Sha Zhu's blind dates every time so that the Jia family could survive.

Later, when Sha Zhu found out that the blind date didn't work out, he angrily asked who was gossiping in the courtyard and making trouble behind his back, and told him that he would definitely destroy him. Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu's angry expression and hid behind the crowd, not daring to say a word.

When night came, because of a quarrel with my cousin, I slept on the floor without a bed or quilt. It was quiet in the back bedroom, where Jia Zhang was snoring. There was no other way. I couldn't just wander around the street at night, or I would have left long ago. I leaned on a chair all night, my back and waist ached, and my leg was still wounded, and the bandages hadn't been changed yet. When it was dawn, I immediately asked Qin Huairu to go back. I picked up my bag and walked out of the door. I met the neighbors in the yard and greeted them, saying that I was going back.

Several aunties said that they would come here often to chat with them when they have time, and they said goodbye to them at the front gate.
