Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Huai Ru, you're leaving now, why don't you stay for a few more days?"

The eldest sister-in-law is a straightforward person who says whatever she thinks. She is a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. The second sister-in-law smiled and said nothing, but secretly kept twisting the second brother's arm, as if asking him to say something.

The eldest brother and his wife took Qin Huairu's hand and began to greet her, indicating that they must come back after the New Year and bring the children with them. Of course, Banggeng must also come back.

Such a warm scene made Qin Huairu feel the long-lost family affection.

"Don't worry, brother and sister-in-law. I will definitely bring them back to wish you a happy new year after the New Year. In fact, these children haven't stayed here long enough!"

As they were talking, the second brother suddenly rushed out and bumped into Qin Huairu. Looking at the second sister-in-law with a sly smile on her face behind them, everyone seemed to understand something.

Before the second brother could speak, the eldest sister-in-law quickly took Qin Huairu's hand and said bluntly, "Huairu, seeing that you two are living such a good life and raising the children so well, we are happy for you. In fact, I don't want to disturb you, but... look, these are your nephew and niece! Daxuan and Dalingzi grew up in your eyes, and now they have grown up..."

Qin Huairu understood what he meant halfway through the words!

The second sister-in-law couldn't help herself when she saw this.

"Huai Ru, you have raised my three children since they were young. As their aunt, you cannot bear to see them without a job! I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can help them find a job in the city! If formal jobs are not possible, a temporary job will be fine!"

"If you walk out of the ravine by yourself, take the children with you. Otherwise, these children will have to live in the countryside for the rest of their lives, suffering all their lives, facing the loess and the earth all day long. There is no end in sight for such a life!"

What the second sister-in-law said was indeed what she really thought. After all, Qin Huairu had already established herself in the city, so it was natural for her to help the children at home if she had the ability.

Qin Huairu didn't have too many concerns about this.

Back then, she didn't want to suffer the hardships of life in the countryside, so she took great pains to marry into the city. He also didn't want his nephews and nieces to go through such a life again.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I understand! Don't worry, I will take care of this matter when I get back. However... it is too difficult to get a formal job. I am afraid I don't have the ability. Temporary work is easier. I will ask people about it when I get back. I will write to you as soon as I have the news!"

Seeing Qin Huairu so straightforward, the two sisters-in-law were very happy.

They were vying to plead for mercy just now, but now they were all smiling awkwardly.

However, there are only so many jobs available, and Qin Huairu can only use so many connections. The two families did not hold out too much hope, and they just hoped that at least one of them could help take care of one or two children!

As long as the children can leave the countryside and go to the city, their future lives will surely not be too bad!

Qin Huairu took Xiaodang and He Jingjing and set out on the journey back to the city and got on the bus.

Along the way, Xiaodang and He Jingjing sat in the last row of the bus. They were bounced around by the bumpy road, but they were in the mood to play and had a lot of fun riding in the back. They actually felt that the bumpy road was just right for the bus.

"Mom, you will bring us back after the New Year, right? Can we take the bus? It's so much fun! This seems to be in line with what Xiao Shiqian said?"

Xiao Dang remembered what Xiao Shiqian had said, but he couldn't remember exactly what he had said.

He Jingjing reminded from the side, "Shiqian said... roller coaster?"

"Yeah, yeah! It's a roller coaster!"

Qin Huairu was confused after hearing this. What roller coaster?

Are there any cars when crossing the mountains?

How could there be a car on that rugged mountain road?

What a joke!

"You two shouldn't learn from Xiao Shiqian. He has been taught badly by his father and always says inexplicable things!"

"By the way, when you get home, both of you should hurry up and do your homework. The New Year is coming soon, and you must finish your homework in advance!"

"Don't worry, Mom. I will complete the task. What about you, Jingjing?"

Xiaodang never needed Qin Huairu to worry about him. No matter what happened, he always arranged everything clearly on his own.

He Jingjing, on the other hand, is so careless that she even loses her homework, and it happens more than once or twice.

Looking at the questioning looks from her mother and Sister Qin, He Jingjing nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, you two. I will practice in seclusion when I get home tomorrow. I promise to finish my homework within three days!"

Not only did Qin Huairu not believe what he said, but even he himself did not believe that he could accomplish it.

Qin Huairu and Xiaodang laughed one after another, and He Jingjing held their hands. With the company of her mother and elder sister, she was very happy and had a happy childhood.

That evening, Qin Huairu prepared a table full of dishes and waited for Sha Zhu to come back, but Sha Zhu was almost obsessed at this time, and his mind was completely focused on preparing for the competition.

Although they looked like this, people were still guarding the restaurant. However, once the door of the warehouse was closed, no one knew what was going on inside.

Every day I enjoy the delicious food and wine brought by my apprentices, drink until I am drowsy, and fall asleep as soon as I lie down. This life is so comfortable.

"It smells so much like smoke! That's what it came from!"

When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Lou Xiao'e came down from her office upstairs and smelled a strong smell of cigarette smoke as soon as she arrived in the lobby.

Logically speaking, there should be no customers in the restaurant at this time of year, so this smell shouldn't be present.

But the smell obviously came from the kitchen.

Wang Xiaojing also realized the seriousness of the matter and was about to explain, but Lou Xiao'e had already rushed to the kitchen.

When I came to the kitchen, I saw only a few people cleaning, and no one was smoking there.

Only then did Lou Xiao'e remember that there was a great man in the warehouse in the back kitchen!

"He has been here these days? He hasn't gone home."

Even though Lou Xiao'e knew how important this competition was to Sha Zhu, it was more important to all ambitious chefs than to him.

"Yes, Chef He has not returned home. Every day, except for going to the toilet and coming out to get some fresh air, he usually locks himself in!"

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e felt her head buzzing. To put it nicely, he was in seclusion practicing and studying hard!

"Got it, come with me and take a look!"

This time Lou Xiao'e was clear-headed and he would not make the same mistake again.

In the past, I was always the only one who had face-to-face contact with Sha Zhu, and that was only twice, but both times I gave myself accusations that I didn't deserve.

This time she very strictly asked Wang Xiaoting to go in with her, so as to avoid being seen and gossiped by others. If Qin Huairu heard this, who knows what would happen!
