Siheyuan: If you have the butcher's knife in your hand, let's try again.

Aunt Wang looked troubled and muttered: "Your parents are not at home."

"If you're not at home, where have you been?"

Qin Huairu was confused, her parents were honest farmers.

In addition to working in the fields, I usually stay at home.

I live a life with my face facing the loess and my back turned to the sky.

Basically don't go out.

If you are not at home, where can you go?

Aunt Wang is a very observant person.

Qin Huairu finally came back and was very happy if she could tell the real situation.

She will definitely not be able to bear it.

Seeing Aunt Wang not speaking for a long time, Qin Huairu had a bad feeling in her heart.

Could it be that something happened to your parents? I got sick?

No, they have always been in good health.

He eats and sleeps well, and looks like a long-lived person no matter how he looks.

"Aunt Wang, what happened to my parents!" Qin Huairu was anxious and kept urging.

Under Qin Huairu's questioning, Aunt Wang blushed.

However, she still couldn't speak.

The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more something was wrong, and she burst into tears.

Now that the matter has come to this, Aunt Wang feels that there is no need to hide anything anymore and is about to speak.

Ergou on the side spoke first.

"Your parents are dead!"

Hearing this, Aunt Wang was shocked. Why did she speak so straightforwardly?

He didn't even consider Qin Huairu's feelings.

Raise your hand to hit Ergou.

"Aunt Wang, don't hit!"

Aunt Wang was hesitating, and Qin Huairu had already guessed it.

Ergou's words only confirmed her guess.

Qin Huairu's parents worked hard all their lives.

As long as she can remember, her parents have been working in the fields from morning to night.

No matter the seasons.

Even so, it was only enough for food and clothing.

Qin Huairu originally had a younger brother and sister, but they all died of illness, leaving her the only child in the family.

I thought that when I got married in the city, I would take them to enjoy the happiness.

Unexpectedly, they both died.

Qin Huairu's tears kept falling and she couldn't stop them.

Dongxu didn't expect it to be like this. He was at a loss for a moment and the bacon on his hands became loose.

"Aunt Wang, how did my parents die?"

"Hey...how to start talking about this."

When Qin Huairu's father went to the city to look for her, he encountered a car accident and was hit and killed on the spot.

And her mother became depressed and ill because of her father's death, and passed away soon after.

Qin Huairu had already burst into tears. Aunt Wang couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth.

If she knew that her parents died like this, she would definitely faint.

"sister!!!"

At this time, a little girl rushed over not far away.

Qin Huairu took a closer look and saw that it was Qin Jingru.

Seeing my sister, I felt extremely kind.

He ran over and hugged her tightly.

"Sister, you are finally back!"

"Jingru, I came back late!"

The two hugged each other and burst into tears.

After crying for a long time, my tears dried up.

Under Qin Huairu's questioning, Qin Jingru told the story of her parents' death.

Hearing that his parents died because of him, his eyes darkened and he was about to faint.

Fortunately, Qin Jingru and Jia Dongxu were by her side, supporting her on the left and right.

After a while, Qin Huairu woke up from her grief.

"Sister, you have to be strong!"

"Huai Ru, be firm!"

Qin Huairu shook her head weakly, "Let's go, help me go home."

Even if her parents are gone, she still wants to visit the old house.

When I saw the old house again, it looked dilapidated.

Because it has not been lived in for several years, no one has repaired it.

Due to the wind and rain, all the tiles fell off and there was a big hole in the roof.

The windows were also broken and full of holes.

The front of the house was covered with one-meter-high weeds, and everything in the house was missing. The house was empty.

Qin Huairu couldn't bear this situation.

He whined and fainted.

"Quick, take me to my house!"

Qin Jingru said, Jia Dongxu hurriedly picked up Qin Huairu.

Run quickly.

"Mom and Dad, my sister fainted!"

From a distance, Qin Jingru started calling.

Her parents heard the shouting and went out to see that it was broken.

Isn't this Qin Huairu? Why did he faint?

He quickly let her into the house and put her on the bed.

He pinched the tiger's mouth again and went to ask the village doctor.

Qin Huairu was just angry and would wake up when her anger subsided. It was nothing serious.

Under the careful care of Qin Jingru and Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu woke up soon.

"Huairu, you're awake, but you scared us to death!" Qin's father and mother said anxiously.

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and shed two more tears.

Qin Jingru mixed a bowl of sugar water, put it to her mouth, and fed her one bite after another.

"Sister, now that the matter is over, don't be too impatient. It won't be worth it if you're so angry."

Qin Huairu drank the sugar water one mouthful at a time. After finishing the entire bowl of sugar water, she felt much better.

Yes, it has happened, and there is no use in grieving anymore.

I blame myself for coming back too late and not fulfilling my filial duty.

"Where are the graves of my father and mother? I want to see them."

"Huairu, when you feel better, we will naturally take you to see him. Now you just lie down and have a good rest. Don't think about anything."

Under the persuasion of Qin Jingru's parents, she lay down and closed her eyes to rest.

In order not to disturb her rest, everyone else went out.

Qin Jingru and her parents met Jia Dongxu for the first time.

I think he's doing well in every aspect, but he's lost a little weight, looks sickly, and has no energy.

Other than that, I can't fault it.

Qin Huairu brought back a husband from such a city. Qin Jingru's family was naturally curious and kept asking questions.

How many people are there in the family? Where do you work? How much is your salary?

When they learned that Jia Dongxu worked in a steel rolling mill and had a house in a courtyard, they were filled with envy.

I envy Qin Huairu for being good at choosing people and finding a good husband.

Qin Jingru's family thinks highly of Jia Dongxu, respects him, and treats him as a guest.

He couldn't get such an honor in the city, so he naturally enjoyed it very much.

Without Qin Huairu's consent, he made the decision privately and gave the gift that was supposed to be given to Qin Huairu's parents.

They were all given to Qin Jingru’s family.

In Jia Dongxu's view, Qin Jingru is Qin Huairu's sister, and they are part of the family.

It’s not a bad idea to send gifts to their homes.

The Qin family received such a heavy gift, and Qin Jingru's parents laughed so much that they couldn't even close their mouths.

Although it was only the first time they met, they still called each other Dongxu.

"Dongxu, sit down for a while, and we'll go pick up some firewood and cook some food."

Jia Dongxu nodded and sat at home alone, drinking water and taking care of Qin Huairu.

Qin Jingru and her parents went to the mountains to find firewood.

As soon as he went out, Qin's father sighed.

"People in the city are different, they spend so much money."

"Not only did he give us a chicken and a piece of bacon, he also gave us clothes, pants and shoes."

As he spoke, he shook the dust off his clothes.

Jia Dongxu gave away all the clothes, pants and shoes he bought.

Qin Jingru's family saw that the clothes were made of good materials and fashionable.

They all couldn't wait to put them on.

Especially Qin Jingru, wearing the red cotton-padded jacket her sister bought for her, looked much more beautiful than before.

"Yes, Huairu really married into a good family." Qin's mother agreed.

"We have to entertain them well, take good care of them, and let them give Prime Minister Qin Jingru a partner in the city."

"Qin Jingru is going to marry in the city, and we will be blessed."

Qin's mother's words expressed what Qin's father was feeling.

He thought so too.

You can't get ahead by working day and night in the countryside.

Not to mention the hardship, I still can’t make much money.

It would be great if Qin Jingru was as lucky as her sister and got married in the city.

You can enjoy the blessing yourself.

Qin Huairu's parents have passed away and there is no place to live when they come back.

Let her live in his own home and take good care of her.

Once she feels comfortable serving her, she will definitely agree to introduce her husband to Qin Jingru.
