Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

"No, there are too many people..."

Qin Huairu was hurriedly carried to the window by Li Weijun. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly stood on tiptoe to secretly take a look at the children sleeping in the room.

Fortunately, the children were all fast asleep, especially the naughty boy Banggeng. He had been running around the streets and playing like crazy during the day, and was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly, completely unaware that his house was about to be robbed.

As for Jia Zhang, who was separated by a curtain, she couldn't make out what was going on because her vision was blocked.

I only heard a slight sparse sound, and asked in a shrill voice: "Qin Huairu, did the wild cat sneak in again? I told you not to hang the fish head under the eaves. What if the cat takes it away? You won't be able to drink fish soup tomorrow."

"Mom, it wasn't that wild cat. I accidentally pricked my hand while sewing the soles of my shoes. It hurt a little, but I took the fish head back to the house. You can rest assured."

Qin Huairu tied up her hair, fearing that Jia Zhang would come in and catch her red-handed.

As a result, Jia Zhang, who was suffering from rheumatic leg pain, took the fish head back home as soon as she heard about it.

She was unwilling to get out of bed and walk, so she simply said, "That's fine. Go to Xu Damao tomorrow and ask for some wild peppers or something. I can't drink the soup without the spicy flavor."

"Well, I'll go try my luck with Xu Damao tomorrow. You take a rest first. I'll wait for Dongxu to come back before I go to sleep."

After dealing with her mother-in-law, Qin Huairu glared at the impatient Li Weijun.

Seeing this enemy laughing, he immediately became furious.

She gritted her teeth and lowered her voice: "Do you want to die? You don't even consider what time it is now. If your brother Dongxu comes back, I won't be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River."

"Hey, Brother Dongxu is busy. I don't think I can come back for a while. Sister Qin, what gift did I bring you?"

Like a thief, he sneaked to the back of his house in the front yard. Li Weijun smiled and asked Qin Huairu to close her eyes and open her mouth to show surprise.

"No, I just brushed my teeth. If I mess with them, the smell will be too strong."

Although Qin Huairu shook her head like a rattle, she still couldn't resist Li Weijun's constant nagging.

As soon as I squatted down, I felt something coming into my mouth?

It tastes salty and sweet, spicy and has the unique aroma of lard.

"What's coming in?"

Qin Huairu noticed that both the shape and taste were not right. She opened her eyes puzzled and chewed it, and found that it tasted quite good.

Looking at Li Weijun who looked innocent, he spread his hands and said, "Sister Qin, what are you thinking? I think this fried cicada monkey is pretty good, so I let you have a taste. Look at how aggrieved you are. Am I the kind of person you think I am?"

"Okay, okay, okay, you are a good person, okay? It's really inconvenient for me tonight. I don't know when your brother Dongxu will come back. What if I can't find him?"

Qin Huairu frowned, even though she complained about the danger.

But I felt in my heart that this was something sneaky and shameful.

Under my mother-in-law's nose, it feels quite exciting...

"It's because time is tight that the task is heavy. Sister Qin, please lift your clothes a little and put your other foot on the stool."

Li Weijun moved a wobbly stool and thought it was convenient to move it back and forth.

"Okay, it'll be a while."

Qin Huairu bit her lips lightly, and after hesitating and struggling for a moment, she really couldn't bear it anymore.

However, he also put forward a condition, which was to let Li Weijun, as his uncle, think more about Xiao Huaihua.

Don't always just think about yourself and ignore your hungry children.

Today, when Qin Huairu was feeding Huaihua, she was surprised to find that her nipples were empty after a while...

If I hadn't made some porridge and coaxed Huaihua into feeding it, she would have been very noisy tonight.

"Huh! Sister Qin, I really can't get enough of you. Tomorrow, I'll go to the department store and buy you a big crucian carp. After it's boiled into soup, it's so nutritious. You can't let Sophora japonica go hungry, huh..."

Li Weijun closed his eyes comfortably and recounted what happened in the factory during the day.

I secretly felt lucky that I had lent Jia Dongxu a few dollars to go out and play.

Li Weijun didn’t know whether Jia Dongxu was having fun or not, but Li Weijun himself was having fun.

When Qin Huairu heard that Li Weijun had indeed become a projectionist and even had dinner with Director Li, she felt genuinely happy.

Naturally, he worked harder, and Li Weijun didn't even need to waste his energy...

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Huairu tiptoed out of the front yard and climbed into the house through the window.

He looked at the children lying on the kang, and then at the bronze pocket watch in his hand.

Qin Huairu felt like she was dreaming and her ears were burning.

I put the bronze pocket watch close to my ear, listening to the ticking sound of the hands inside, and thinking of the scene where Li Weijun had just given me this pocket watch as a gift with a look of cherishment on his face.

Qin Huairu's heart was pounding, and she looked happy as a little woman.

Jia Dongxu married her with a few liters of wheat. Apart from a piece of red cloth to make clothes for the wedding, the only valuable gift was probably a pair of knee-high rubber shoes.

This is the first time I have received such a valuable gift in all these years. Then I think about the happy scene when Li Weijun buys a bicycle tomorrow and takes him back to the countryside to visit relatives.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt that life had become more interesting. It was no longer just about the daily necessities of life, and she was no longer worried about her family's food, clothing, housing and transportation all day long.

It seemed as if for the first time, she experienced the joy of living for herself.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard hurried footsteps in the distance.

Qin Huairu thought that Li Weijun didn't have a good time and left.

She leaned out of the window with a helpless look on her face, and in the faint light, she unexpectedly discovered that it was her husband Jia Dongxu.

He looked thin and frail, and walked with a light step. There was no one else in the entire courtyard.

Qin Huairu was in a panic. She tidied her clothes and hair. After making sure there were no flaws, she quickly picked up the half-finished shoe.

Outside the door, Jia Dongxu hesitated.

Looking at the door of home so close, I was afraid to go in.

He lost everything again tonight. Not only did he lose all the five dollars that Li Weijun borrowed from him, he even had to pawn his machinist certificate for ten dollars.

Fifteen dollars in total, almost half a month’s salary.

Now that's good, my original plan was to win back all the money I lost before, retire from the underworld, and never get involved in it again, living a stable life.

As a result, not to mention winning money, it became a problem for the whole family to support themselves after this incident.

After hesitating for a long time, Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.

"Hey, Dongxu is back. Is there more processing going on in the factory today?"

Seeing her son finally come back, Jia Zhang, who was dozing off, quickly got up, put on her clothes, and asked Qin Huairu to prepare a midnight snack.

Qin Huairu knew that it was her mother-in-law who wanted to eat it, so she could only obediently take the steamed corn bread that she had specially reserved for her in the evening and heat it up on the stove.

Jia Dongxu, feeling guilty, was worried about food, so he dared not eat too much. He quickly stopped Qin Huairu and said, "We have already eaten in the cafeteria. There is a shortage of food everywhere now. Let's save some for tomorrow."
