Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 38 Return to the countryside

"what!"

"Uncle Lu, you're not kidding me, are you?" Jia Weidong said in surprise.

"You brat, does Uncle Lu have so much free time?" Lu Xiangyang casually picked up a notebook beside the table and threw it at Jia Weidong.

"Weidong, there is a vacancy for a deputy director in the factory now. If you, Uncle Lu, want to go further, you must achieve results. The first two fishes have made the logistics department have a good impression in the minds of leaders and workers. Spring Festival It is very important whether our welfare can satisfy the leaders and workers. This task will be left to you. Whether Uncle Lu can go further smoothly depends on you, boy."

"Uncle Lu, this is me," Lu Weidong said sarcastically as he picked up the notebook that fell on the floor and put it on his desk.

"Weidong! Don't take on other tasks before the Spring Festival. Concentrate on this one. You must complete it. If you can't complete it, you will lose Uncle Lu's people. Hmph! Hmph!"

"Okay, Uncle Lu, I'll try my best!" Jia Weidong nodded and agreed.

"This stinky boy can't produce oil without a hammer." Looking at Jia Weidong's back as he walked out of the office, Lu Xiangyang muttered with a satisfied smile.

After leaving Lu Xiangyang's office, Jia Weidong did not return to the purchasing department. He rode his bicycle back home and continued back to school after lunch.

In the evening, the family had dinner. After Qin Huairu cleaned up, she brought hot water to help Jia Weidong wash his feet.

"Sister-in-law, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Tomorrow, Sunday, you go back to your parents' house, send some money, and take some food back from the basement." Jia Weidong said, taking out five big black tens from his pocket and handing them to Qin Huairu.

"Ah, Weidong, I already gave it once last time. It's not good to give so much every time I go back. Our family has to live." Qin Huairu really cared about his family and was a little reluctant to let go.

"Sister-in-law, our family is now a dual-income family with rations. It's different now in the countryside. Not to mention how many work points we can earn all year round, we can't even eat enough, and every household is hungry. Your mother-in-law is also a tough person. In such a difficult time They haven’t even come to our door yet. You should go back more diligently in the past two years and provide more support. As we live a better life, we can’t forget the relatives who gave birth to you and raised you! After I take you to the station tomorrow, I will also go back to the countryside."

"Okay, sister-in-law listens to you"

After soaking his feet and drinking the medicine, Jia Weidong went back upstairs to rest.

In the morning, Jia Weidong got up on time, meditated, ran to the park to box, and exercised. After finishing, he ran home to have breakfast. After having breakfast and making arrangements with Jia Zhang, he took Qin Huairu to the Deshengmen bus on his bicycle. Qin Huairu was sitting in the back seat, with two bags hanging on the front bumper of the bicycle.

"Sister-in-law, please hire a donkey cart when you get to Huairou Station and come back early in the afternoon." After putting Qin Huairu on the train, Jia Weidong told Qin Huairu again.

"Got it" Qin Huairu turned around and waved.

Finding a deserted corner, Jia Weidong collected his bicycle, walked to the station, got on the bus, and staggered all the way to Changping. After getting off the car and walking for a while, while there was no one around, I got on my bicycle and went straight to Niufang Village.

The small village seemed a bit desolate. It was freezing cold at this time. Most of the villagers were hiding at home. There were not many people standing at the entrance of the village. Jia Weidong pushed his bicycle slowly towards his home. The front and rear bumpers of the bicycle were There are two bags hanging on the seats.

"Second brother, you are back"

Jia Weidong pushed open the courtyard door, and his third sister Jia Chunhua, who happened to be at the door of the house, stammered.

"Um"

Jia Weidong agreed, then set up his bicycle and walked into the kitchen carrying two large cloth bags. Jia Chunhua, who was following behind, helped carry it and put it into the grain tank. She turned around and untied the bag on the car, took out some cloth from it and handed it to Sanmei. She also took out a few pieces of marinated bacon and a few pieces of cured fish and sent them to the kitchen. After packing them, she carried another bag. Out of the yard.

"Iron Bull, Iron Bull"

Jia Weidong shouted loudly as he entered the Zhou family's yard.

"Weidong, you're back." Jia Weidong told Tieniu that he had changed his name the last time he came back. Tieniu shouted excitedly as soon as he opened the door. He didn't know what politeness meant, and quickly took the bag from Jia Weidong's hand. Pulled him into the house.

"You kid, bring things for our family when you come back. I don't even know what to say," Aunt Zhou said sheepishly.

"Auntie, I work in a textile factory in the city, and I'm still going to school at the same time. This is a rare trip for me to come back. Now that I have a ration in the city, I can't starve. I used to eat a lot of your food." Jia Weidong said with great emotion.

"You kid..."

After exchanging pleasantries with the Zhou family and chatting with Tieniu for a while, he declined Aunt Zhou’s offer to stay and went home for lunch.

The Jia family did not cook at noon these days. Like most families in the village, they only had breakfast and dinner. Jia Weidong made an exception when he came back.

At noon, Sanmei steamed white flour buns, a large pot of bacon, stir-fried cabbage, and radish soup, which the whole family ate with gusto.

<divclass="contentadv"> "Second child, how are you doing in the city?" Jia Chen asked with red eyes.

After Jia Weidong came back last time, Jia's father took Jia Chen to see an old Chinese medicine doctor. He took some medicine and came back to drink it. His health improved significantly. His face looks much better.

"Mom, I am living a good life in the city. My aunt and sister-in-law treat me very well. I am now working in a textile factory while still going to school." Jia Weidong replied.

"Working and going to school at the same time?" Jia Chen asked in confusion.

"Dad, mom is like this..." Jia Weidong explained everything he could to the family.

After finishing the meal, Jia Weidong left five big black ten cards for Jia's father and set off back to the city. Jia Chen reluctantly sent her outside the hospital and silently watched Jia Weidong's back riding his bicycle away for a long time until he could no longer see it. Then turned around and went back to the house.

After Qin Huairu arrived at her parents' house, she was warmly received by the whole family. Seeing that she had brought back so many things, Qin's mother scolded her again. Her sister-in-law, Sun Hongmei, took the things with a smile and pulled Qin Huairu to eat them one by one. The girl's call was kind.

"You damn girl, why did you bring so many things back?" Sun Hongmei was busy with lunch. Mother Qin pulled Qin Huairu into the room, and the two of them sat on the edge of the kang and talked about themselves.

"Mom, it was all arranged by Weidong. He is now the head of our family. If he asks me to take him, can I not take him with him? I wanted to take him with him before, but your daughter's bag used to be cleaner than her face." He continued to talk. He took out five big black tens from his pocket and gave them to Qin's mother.

"Where did your family get so much money and so many things?"

"Mom, our family is now a dual-income family. The brat can handle it. He goes to school and works in a textile factory as a buyer," Qin Huairu said arrogantly.

"This kid Wei Dong is really your family's lucky star! Good things happen to your family all the time when he comes to your family. You look much better than last time when you came back."

"Don't say it, it's true. As soon as this brat entered the house, he led us to live a prosperous life. He bought bicycles and repaired the house. He was also very kind to me and my children. Even my mother-in-law , I feel like a different person, I am cheerful all day long, I smile gently when I see people, I am not like I used to curse when I opened my mouth, I am living more and more vigorously these days!"

"Huairu, have you ever thought about finding another one?"

"Mom, what kind of good family can someone like me find? Can I live as good a life as I do now?"

"It's not easy to find. Someone with good conditions who has never been married will not marry someone like you. If you marry someone who has been married for a second time and has several children, life will definitely be difficult."

"Mom, I've made up my mind not to look for you anymore. I can't bear to leave my child behind. I'm in the Jia family. I will be a Jia family member when I am born, and I will be a Jia family ghost when I die."

"What does that kid Wei Dong think?"

"The brat said he couldn't bear to let me go, and said he would never drive me away in his life." Qin Huairu thought of the conversation that day, Jia Weidong's mischievous smile, and a touch of shyness appeared on her face.

"Weidong, this kid seems to be benevolent and righteous. He doesn't have any thoughts about you, does he?"

"Ah, Mom, brat is still a child! We are 10 years apart. If I were about the same age as Jingru now, it would still be possible."

"Jingru, eh, we can let Jingru marry your Weidong. They should be about the same age, and Jingru is not bad looking, right! That's it, let Jingru marry your Weidong, and then you Let's live together with the Jingru sisters!" Qin's mother came up with an idea for Qin Huairu.

"Ah, Mom, Jingru and I live together? Do we two sisters serve him together? No! No!" Qin Huairu shook her head repeatedly.

"Yes, what's wrong? You don't want to get married again. You are a family. There are many such things. Your mother and I have seen too many. Weidong is a capable and capable person. Will a man live his life honestly guarding his wife?"

"Mom, is Jingru willing to do such a thing? Will the brat dislike me in the future?" Qin Huairu asked with a blushing face, feeling a little moved.

If Jia Weidong heard what Qin's mother said and knew what Qin Huairu was thinking now, he would definitely laugh happily. This Aunt Qin is really his own aunt, do you dislike it? I definitely don’t, no, don’t dislike it! To have such a pair of sisters, what more could I ask for?

"Jingru, this girl, wants to marry in the city. If you do this... keep doing this..., then when you have a child, with the character of Wei Dong, can you leave your mother and son alone?"

"elder sister!"

Qin's mother was giving instructions to Qin Huairu. The mother and daughter were whispering and talking in a lively manner when a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who looked 60-70% similar to Qin Huairu broke into the room...
