Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Sour girl, that's a good sign."

Qin Huairu smiled and bit down hard with her teeth. The sweet and sour strawberry juice flowed between her teeth, mixed with her saliva, and then she swallowed it in one gulp.

This was obviously her plan from the beginning.

Obviously she wanted to take advantage of it from the beginning and get some free fruit back.

But why, even though things were developing exactly as she thought, was she feeling so... uncomfortable?

As sour as strawberry juice.

Qin Huairu wisely changed the topic to having children.

Did you feel uncomfortable during pregnancy?

How's your appetite?

Did the two kids cause any trouble?

Is there anything interesting that happened while raising children?

When chatting with a mother and wanting to open up the other person's conversation, the best topic is children.

Qin Huairu wanted to please, and Ran Qiuye was in a stage of strong motherhood, so the two of them seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

Lin Yuzhu walked in with a thermos bottle and poured hot water for the two of them.

The ones used to drink hot water are those wide-mouthed cans. After cleaning, they can be used as cups. In this day and age, to a certain extent, a cup like this can also reflect a good family background.

After all, cans are still considered a luxury item these days.

After the cans are finished, no one will throw away the glass jars left behind. After all, the quality is good.

The usual usage is to keep it as a drinking cup, or to hold sauces, pickles, etc.

If there are many empty cans and bottles in the house, it means that the family is in a good situation.

It's a bit like wearing brand-name socks that cost hundreds of dollars a pair in foreign countries.

It can only be said that different environments have different "wealth".

Qin Huairu touched the bottle and judged by the feel that it must have been a can of oranges.

The water was a bit hot, so she just used it to cover her hands.

City people who eat food from the food supply have a sense of superiority over country people who dig in the soil for food. The most important point is that the current farming process relies entirely on human labor, and mechanization is still on the horizon. Every year, whether it is spring plowing or double plundering, women act as men and men act as beasts.

As a farmer who has to work hard to survive starvation, everyone in the city has food supplies and does not have to do farm work. This kind of life is as beautiful as a dream.

Therefore, Qin Huairu married from the countryside to the city, which is what she is most proud of. Even if life is a little more difficult, she can still encounter this kind of difficulty in the countryside.

You still have to do farm work in the countryside, but it's heavier than the work you do at Jia's house.

So she desperately wanted to stay in the city.

She didn't want to go back, she didn't want to face the loess and turn her back to the sky. She didn't want to be exposed to the scorching sun during spring sowing and double harvesting, working on the hard land, and having her skin scratched by corn leaves and wheat stalks...sweat piercing the wounds. , with a strong itching sensation.

The woman in front of her is her younger brother and sister-in-law. Coming from a scholarly family, I probably have never done farm work since I was a child. The heaviest things I have ever carried are books and pens.

She is beautiful, cheerful, lively, gentle, and cultured, with a bookish air.

Even though he was suppressed, he was still sheltered under the wings of another man and did not have to face the miserable wind and rain outside.

She still lives a prosperous life.

Qin Huairu rubbed her hands secretly, and the calluses on her palms rubbed against each other, giving them a rough texture.

Those are the marks left by long hours of work.

But Ran Qiuye's hands were soft, white, and delicate.

Maybe there will be a thin layer of cocoon due to housework, but it will definitely not be as rough as hers.

They are the same people, but the other person's life is so good.

Whether it's birth or fate.

Now she has to laugh with him and hold him in his arms so that he can take some fruits from her hand to eat.

Qin Huairu's rational mind knew that what she did was right. She had done a good job and she should work hard to fight for her own interests.

But her emotions struggled and roared like an angry beast.

Why.

Why?

Why!

Reason and emotion were tearing her apart, and Qin Huairu felt like she was about to burst.

Maybe it was because of her pregnancy that her mood fluctuated so strongly.

Why, only she should live like a dog!

She also wants to be a human being.

After chatting for a while, it was time to eat.

No matter how thick-skinned Qin Huairu is, he can't bring a basket of wild vegetables over and eat them.

After all, it wasn't just this time that they were going back and forth.

Come to Japan for a long time.

She wisely said goodbye.

Before leaving, as expected, Ran Qiuye grabbed a lot of strawberries and brought them to her.

Qin Huairu achieved her goal, but she was not happy.

But Ran Qiuye didn't care.

Because of today's scene, He Yudong had already talked to her about it.

"Qin Huairu is a person who can't afford to be early without any benefit, and he always likes to rob other people's wealth to help her own poverty."

"In a few days, she will definitely come over to chat with you and then find a way to bring something back."

"But Qin Huairu is very good at coaxing people. Our family doesn't lack that thing anyway, so I'll just hire her to make you happy."

"So... just be happy, don't take her too seriously."

Ran Qiuye really didn't care.

Moreover, it has to be said that Qin Huairu is still very capable when deliberately trying to please others. She talks sweetly and responds appropriately, making Ran Qiuye feel comfortable and happy.

Ran Qiuye really felt that it was no big deal to give her some fruit.

None of them expected that Qin Huairu would be so jealous.

Neither of them expected that a woman's jealousy could be so destructive.

Qin Huairu's visits were not too frequent, basically once or twice a week, specifically when He Yudong was away.

In spring, various wild vegetables grow one after another. When one kind gets old, there will be another. Qin Huairu brought a basket every time, so she didn't arrive empty-handed.

Once, she brought a basket full of fresh toon buds.

That night, the basket of toon sprouts was washed, chopped, and mixed with soft tofu to make a side dish. Added with fine salt and sesame oil, it was served with porridge. He Yudong ate two more bowls.

Another time, Qin Huairu took a basket of fine white Sophora japonica flowers and steamed them together with Ran Qiuye to make Sophora japonica rice.

Steamed sophora japonica is also a spring-only dish. Especially when you are willing to put in the ingredients, it is slightly salty and fragrant, giving you the joy of spring when you bite off a corner of it.

In addition, there are always some common topics between women, especially when one person goes out of his way to make the other person happy.

As a reward, Ran Qiuye always asked Qin Huairu to bring something back. Or a few eggs, or half a pound of Fuqiang noodles, or a piece of tofu or some dried tofu, or some oily dishes...

It’s not too expensive, but it’s still something that most people are reluctant to buy or eat.

Overall, Qin Huairu took advantage and Ran Qiuye did not suffer.

However, as time went by, Ran Qiuye became less and less prepared for Qin Huairu.

After all, they maintained a frequency of meetings that made her feel comfortable.
