1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

After the excitement, the villagers left one by one, and Qin Huairu's aunt took her children home to cook.

Zhang Cuilan invited Chen Xiao and the other man back into the house, and then shouted to her husband.

"Old man, kill the old hen at home."

"okay."

Qin Tieniu walked towards the old hen that had been raised in the yard for two and a half years with a kitchen knife.

"You two sit down first. I'll make some white flour buns."

Zhang Cuilan was afraid that Chen Xiao would not be able to get used to the simple meals in the countryside, so she took out the little white flour she had left at home.

Qin Huairu's parents were busy with their own things, and at this time only Chen Xiao and Qin Huairu were left in the room.

Chen Xiao looked at Qin Huairu's mud house.

There is a main room with two side rooms outside. The main room is surrounded by linen walls, which separates a living room and two bedrooms.

Lifting the curtain on one side, I saw a wooden table inside with a big red mirror on it and a wooden comb next to it.

Next to the wooden table is a small single bed with a floral quilt neatly placed on it.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be Qin Huairu's boudoir.

Just as Chen Xiao was about to go in and take a look, Qin Huairu grabbed his hand.

"There's nothing inside, so don't go in."

"Nothing, I also want to see my wife's boudoir," Chen Xiao smiled evilly, then grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and pulled her inside.

Chen Xiao walked to the bed and sat down on it.

At this time, Qin Huairu was holding Chen Xiao's hand and standing opposite him.

Looking at Chen Xiao sitting on her bed and holding her little hand, Qin Huairu's heart began to beat fast.

It was as if he had already guessed what Chen Xiao wanted to do next.

She murmured softly.

"We're not married yet... No..."

Chen Xiao smiled evilly and pulled Qin Huairu over.

He turned over to the bed, looked at Qin Huairu with a shy face, and tapped her lightly.

Just as I was preparing for my next move, I heard voices outside the door.

"Mom, mom, did my sister bring her boyfriend back?"

Qin Huairu's younger brother Qin Huaiguo was talking to Zhang Cuilan.

"Be quiet, your sisters are talking in the room, don't disturb them."

"Look at how dirty you are. Why don't you go wash and wipe your clothes?"

Qin Huaiguo worked in a nearby coal mine, earning eight cents a day. This was a job Qin Tieniu had to beg for.

She heard from the villagers that her sister Qin Huairu had brought her boyfriend back, so she hurried back to see him.

"Okay, Mom. I'll go wash my face now." As he spoke, Qin Huaiguo wiped his dark face twice.

inside the house.

Hearing the voices outside, Qin Huairu pushed Chen Xiao away.

"Stop it, my brother is back."

Qin Huairu got up from the bed with a red face, then secretly pursed her lips.

There is still a hint of sweet taste left.

Since the good thing was ruined, Chen Xiao had no choice but to give up.

Then he asked Qin Huairu about his brother.

After listening, Chen Xiao had a general understanding of the situation of his family members.

Qin Huaiguo, Qin Huairu's younger brother, is eighteen years old this year. Because his father is in poor health, he has been working in the mines at a young age.

As for why Qin Huaiguo did not appear in the TV series, after all, the cousin can show up, so this biological brother must be missing at least once.

Now there is only one reason left, which is probably that the coal mine collapsed and he was crushed to death.

If this Qinhuai man is a good person and upright, Chen Xiao would not mind helping him and finding a job in the city when he becomes successful in the steel rolling mill.

"Sister, I'm back." Qin Huaiguo finished washing up and walked into the main room.

Qin Huairu straightened her clothes and pulled Chen Xiao out of the bedroom.

"Huaiguo, you're back."

Qin Huaiguo nodded, then looked at Chen Xiao knowingly asking.

"Sister, who is this???"

Qin Huairu was obviously a little embarrassed.

"This is...this is..."

Seeing Qin Huairu feeling shy and embarrassed, Chen Xiao stood up and spoke to Qin Huaiguo.

"Hello, I'm your sister's boyfriend. My name is Chen Xiao."

"Hello, brother-in-law. My name is Qin Huaiguo. You can just call me Huaiguo from now on."

"Huaiguo, your sister and I haven't gotten married yet, so you can't call me brother-in-law..."

"Okay, brother-in-law." Qin Huaiguo grinned.

Chen Xiao was speechless.

For a moment, I felt that the honest-looking Qin Huaiguo in front of me was also a time traveler.

Otherwise, why would he play the Stephen Chow and Da Vinci joke with me?

"Huaiguo, come over here and get the dishes and chopsticks." Zhang Cuilan shouted from outside the door.

"I got it, Mom. I'll be there right away." Qin Huaiguo responded.

"Brother-in-law, you two sit down first, I'll go get the dishes."

After saying that, Qin Huaiguo went to the kitchen to help.

Chen Xiaogang sat down, and Qin Tieniu brought a pot of old hen and placed it on the table.

During this time, Chen Xiao wanted to stand up and help, but was held down by Qin Huairu.

"How can I ask you for help since you're a guest? I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks first. Just sit quietly."

After saying that, Qin Huairu skipped towards the kitchen.

After everyone sat down, Qin Tieniu opened a bottle of Erguotou that Chen Xiao brought.

He first filled Chen Xiao's glass, and then poured himself one.

Today is the happiest day of his life. His daughter has found a good home and he has found a good son-in-law.

When I went to propose marriage, I brought two bottles of Erguotou, which I would never dare to think about. Just looking at the bottle, I knew that this was the most expensive Erguotou, costing 1.7 yuan per bottle!

For a farmer, this is something he couldn't even imagine.

"Dad, I'm an adult now, please pour me a glass too." Qin Huaiguo complained from the side.

"Only one glass." Qin Tieniu poured a glass of wine and said.

He did this for his son's safety. He knew that the mine was unsafe and was afraid that Qin Huaiguo would get drunk and cause trouble.

"Uncle, I'll toast you!" Chen Xiao stood up with his glass in hand.

Qin Tieniu quickly asked him to sit down.

"No need to stand up, no need to stand up."

Looking at the polite son-in-law in front of him, Qin Tieniu was so satisfied that he happily took a big sip of the wine glass.

Chen Xiao finished it in one gulp.

"Chen Xiao, don't just drink. Auntie will give you a chicken drumstick."

Not only was Qin Tieniu very satisfied with Chen Xiao, but Zhang Cuilan was also the same. She picked up a chicken leg for Chen Xiao with her chopsticks.

After three rounds of drinks, the bottle of Erguotou on the table was already empty.

Under the influence of alcohol, Qin Tieniu became more talkative.

He kept bragging about the past, and while talking he even took out the remaining unopened bottle of Erguotou.

At this time, Chen Xiao's vision was a little blurry and his head was dizzy.

Only now did he realize that the original owner was not allowed to drink alcohol.

"Dad, don't let Chen Xiao drink anymore. He's already drunk."

After hearing this, Chen Xiao was completely drunk and vaguely felt that someone was helping him lie on the bed.
