Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

The next morning, the sun was shining and the temperature was pleasant.

Qin Huairu got up early and helped the children get dressed first, then she combed her hair carefully and finally went out to wash.

After finishing all this, Qin Huairu seemed still not satisfied. She took out another piece of red paper and sipped it on her lips a few times.

Finally, she took out a box of cold cream, carefully scooped out a little, and spread it evenly on her face.

Looking at the box of vanishing cream in her hand, Qin Huairu couldn't help feeling a little proud.

She couldn't bear to buy this thing, it was all given by the treasures in the workshop, and the price she paid was just to touch her little hand, it was not worth mentioning at all.

"Sister, why are you still getting dressed? The meal is ready, you can eat now."

Qin Jingru, who had just finished making breakfast, walked in from outside and asked without knowing what was going on.

"Oh! It's not what you think. This box of vanishing cream also has a shelf life. It will go bad over time."

Faced with Qin Huairu's explanation, Qin Jingru didn't believe it at all.

"If it's so easy to break, why can't you let me use it? Humph! How hypocritical."

However, Qin Jingru could only think about these words in her heart, she didn't dare to say them out loud.

After all, she is still living under someone else's roof, otherwise, she would not have contacted Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu had no idea about her cousin's little thoughts. She was just about to go out for dinner and then start implementing the first step of her plan.

Soon, the family finished their busy work and sat down at the table to eat breakfast.

Seeing the same old black steamed bread on the table, the porridge so big that you could see your reflection in it, and the few pickled vegetables, Bang Geng lost his appetite.

So he pointed at the steamed bread and asked with a look of disgust.

"Aunt, can't you just steam some white flour buns? I'm growing now and need nutrition. Is this enough to supplement my nutrition?"

"Great! Auntie can't help it. These are all we have left at home. How about waiting until the ration is settled next month, and then Auntie will steam another pot of white flour buns for you."

Qin Jingru had no choice but to explain helplessly, as it is true that even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Who knew that it would have been fine if she didn't explain? After this explanation, Banggeng was unhappy and felt that his status was challenged.

"I don't care, Mom. This aunt must have wanted to steal some and hid the flour."

"Sister, I don't have any. The ration of white flour at home is just that much. I always use it as soon as I get it back. I have never eaten a single bite."

Qin Jingru hurriedly explained, she was so angry that tears were already swirling in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, Jingru, you're a grown-up, why are you getting mad at a child? I know you don't have any."

After comforting Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu was reluctant to teach her son a lesson, so she comforted him as well.

"Bang Geng, Mom knows you are growing, so in a couple of days when Mom gets paid, I will buy you some white flour to make steamed buns, what do you think?"

"Mom, I'll have to eat braised pork then. Look how thin I am."

It is said that Banggeng is a smart kid since he was young. He knows how to seize this opportunity to gain more benefits for himself.

"Okay, okay, mom has promised you. Now it's time to eat, right?"

Qin Huairu reluctantly agreed to this unreasonable request, just to coax the child over first.

But she didn't know that such unlimited indulgence was not loving the child, but harming the child.

Qin Jingru, who felt wronged, felt very uncomfortable when she saw that Qin Huairu didn't care about her feelings at all.

She felt more and more that she was an outsider, a superfluous person, which made her more determined to leave this family as soon as possible.

Even following Xu Damao, a poor man with no family, is better than living under someone else's roof.

It didn't take long for the family to finish breakfast. While her cousin was washing the dishes, Qin Huairu kept staring at the door opposite.

Because she was waiting for an opportunity to meet Yi Zhonghai by chance and see if she could take down this old client.

Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai did not let her down. Within the time it took to smoke a cigarette, he walked out of the house and prepared to go to work.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly said to her cousin, "Jingru, I'm going to work, please look after the children."

"Okay, sis."

After saying that, Qin Huairu hurried out the door and followed Yi Zhonghai.

Who knew that as soon as she went out, she ran into Sha Zhu again.

The relationship between the two families was not good, so the two of them just nodded awkwardly without even saying a word.

As for Sha Zhu's feelings towards her, Qin Huairu knew about it.

In this regard, she can only say, forget it! She is not good-looking, but her ideas are strangely beautiful.

But this can't be blamed on her, the key point is that Sha Zhu is useless.

If Sha Zhu is replaced by Sun Zhengguo, I'm afraid the story will be completely different.

While Sha Zhu was still in a daze, Qin Huairu had already walked out of the courtyard, and her prey was not far away from her.

So she quickened her pace, and in just a few steps she arrived next to Yi Zhonghai.

However, in order not to arouse his vigilance, Qin Huairu did not approach him rashly, but pretended to meet him by chance and casually greeted him.

"Good morning! Uncle Yi, what a coincidence, are you going to work too?"

"Yeah! Good morning."

Although the two families had a bad relationship, Yi Zhonghai still responded indifferently as he didn't want to hit someone who smiled at him.

Seeing that her strategy was successful, Qin Huairu did not immediately approach him to get close to him.

Instead, he chose to speed up his pace, walk in front of Yi Zhonghai, and leave him behind at a leisurely pace.

But her behavior made life difficult for Yi Zhonghai who was following behind her.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai, who was following behind, smelled the faint fragrance in the air and watched Qin Huairu twisting the millstone left and right. He felt very uncomfortable.

In such a situation, not to mention him, an old client, even if it was a young man, it would be impossible for him to not have any thoughts at all.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Yi Zhonghai has kept a low profile for many years and is usually a "highly respected" person, but all this is just a disguise.

He is actually a hypocrite with a strong desire for control and a thief and a prostitute at heart.

If it were in the past, if this was his apprentice's wife, he might not have had any thoughts about it.

But now? To be honest, he still didn't dare to think about it. Even if he put aside the relationship between the two families, he wouldn't think about it in that direction.

Because he knew very well an eternal truth: all widows in the world are poisonous and anyone who comes into contact with them will die.

In this way, the two of them, with different thoughts in mind, came to the steel rolling mill, one after the other, and walked into the fitter workshop.

Yi Zhonghai, who had just enjoyed the scenery along the way, smelled the familiar smell of rust in the workshop, and regained his spirits and walked to his workstation...

Qin Huairu, who received a warning from Sister Hua yesterday, is also ready to restrain herself today.

So as soon as she came here, she told Guo Dapiezi and others not to help her for the time being to avoid gossip.

Although Guo Dapiezi and others were unhappy, Sister Hua was a well-known strong woman in the fitter workshop and they couldn't afford to offend her, so they could only endure it for the time being.

Qin Huairu, who had lost her help, had to do the work herself today. She began to deliver cartloads of raw parts to various masters.

But today Qin Huairu had a clever idea. She discussed it with other apprentices, and the two of them swapped areas, with her being specifically responsible for the senior worker area.
