Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

Two flowers are in bloom, each with its own beauty. When He Daqing is reuniting with his family, a sense of conspiracy is gradually rising in the Red Star Courtyard.

In the room, a man and a woman were feasting around a hot pot stove.

Xu Damao poured another glass of rice wine for Qin Jingru and his hand quietly climbed onto her shoulder.

Qin Jingru's big eyes rolled around, she reached out to release the hand on her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "What are you doing? It's so hot."

Seeing that he hadn't gotten any advantage, Xu Damao sat aside again, feeling bored, and said with a wry smile, "You said I have so many good things in my house, why do you like to eat these white steamed buns and dried rabbit legs, and this hot pot, aren't they all eaten in winter?"

Qin Jingru was silent for a moment, and her thoughts involuntarily went back to the small room of the supply and marketing cooperative a few years ago, the gentle young cadre, the generous and straightforward Sister Qin, and the "delicious food" prepared by several people at the table.

Now that I think about it, it was just a fantasy of a young girl.

The noisy voices beside her ears brought Qin Jingru back to reality. Beside her, Xu Damao was still chattering and criticizing Sha Zhu: "Look, this man should be capable. A man like Sha Zhu let his wife work as a temporary worker right after getting married. If someone followed me, he would stay at home every day, and I would serve him with good food and drink."

Qin Jingru knew that this was not the case. Zhao Xiaoyun envied the heroic appearance of the female workers in the city, so she used her connections to find her a job with low pay and little work.

But she did not refute Xu Damao's words, or rather, she had the same idea as Xu Damao. If she got married, she just wanted to depend on a man like a silk flower, and be responsible for doing housework and having children.

So, even though she knew Xu Damao was not a reliable man, she still wanted to give it a try.

Xu Damao changed the subject, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

“There is no bad meat.”

"Why don't you stay with me? I'll make sure you have meat and white flour buns every day."

Qin Jingru looked up in surprise and lowered her voice and said, "You are crazy. If people knew about this, I would not be able to live. Besides, you haven't divorced yet."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "You mean, as long as I get divorced, you can move in?"

Qin Jingru glanced at Xu Damao and said with some disdain: "It doesn't work even if you're divorced. I'm living well at my sister's house, why would I live in your house?"

Seeing that he failed to coax the little girl, Xu Damao restrained his thoughts and argued, "Look at why you are so anxious. I am just being kind. I thought your sister has elderly and young children at home. It would be inconvenient for you to live there, and it would be easy for people to gossip about you."

Xu Damao's words actually touched Qin Jingru's heart.

She had lived in the Jia family for such a long time, and her sister and brother-in-law hadn't said anything. But Jia Zhang would roll her eyes at her every day, and would always mutter something like "Why are those who eat free rice here again" while eating.

But she also remembered what her sister always told her: Don't let a man take advantage of you before you get married!

Seeing that Qin Jingru was still shaking her head, Xu Damao had to change his attitude. He coughed and said, "That's right. As a girl, you should abide by your duties, but..."

The man suddenly paused and said with some regret: "Jingru, I think it may not be a good idea for us to be together now. Why don't we separate for a while?"

While Xu Damao was talking, he secretly glanced at Qin Jingru. Seeing that although she didn't answer, her ears were already tied up, he felt proud.

"Jingru, it's not that I don't want to marry you, but for a man like me, as soon as I get divorced, girls will come to me in droves. I have to be selective and choose the most suitable one, don't you think?"

"Then go and choose." Qin Jingru turned her head and said sullenly.

She knew that Xu Damao was playing hard to get, but she also understood that what he said made sense.

When Xu Damao saw her like this, he was immediately delighted and tentatively put his arm around her shoulders. This time, Qin Jingru did not refuse.

Xu Damao said sincerely, "Jingru, I asked you to stay because it's for your own good. Think about it, if we get together sooner, I can settle down sooner. If you get pregnant one day, we can just get the marriage certificate. Isn't that good?"

Qin Jingru's eyes flashed, but she still didn't refute his words.

Xu Damao chuckled, knowing that he had it safe, and deliberately tightened his grip around her, pulling the girl closer to him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Qin Jingru broke free and moved aside like a frightened little rabbit.

Xu Damao cursed inwardly and shouted unhappily, "Who is it? Don't you know you're having dinner?"

The knock on the door paused for a moment, and a woman pushed the door open and walked in, asking, "Jingru, haven't you finished your meal yet?"

Qin Jingru hurriedly replied: "Sister, I'll be back right away." Then she quickly ran behind her sister.

Xu Damao looked at the bowl in Qin Huairu's hand and knew why she came.

Although he was unhappy, he pretended to be generous on the surface and asked with a smile: "Sister Qin, have you eaten yet? If not, pack some to take back?"

"Then I won't be polite." Qin Huairu walked to the table impatiently and said as she put the food into her bowl, "Just now, Banggeng was almost crying with greed and asked me where the smell of meat came from. I said it must be your uncle Damao's house. Who else can be so generous as to eat meat every day!"

Xu Damao was flattered by this flattery and said with a smile: "Then pretend more. It's normal for children to crave meat."

Qin Huairu filled a whole bowl with meat and put two big steamed buns on top before saying goodbye to Xu Damao: "Then I'll take Jingru back and ask her to come and play with you tomorrow."

After leaving Xu Damao's house, the two sisters of the Qin family brought the meat back home. They did not rush to rest, but just walked outside the door.

When they reached a secluded place, Qin Huairu suddenly asked, "Did he not take advantage of you?"

Qin Jingru's face showed some unnaturalness, and she said awkwardly: "No, no."

Qin Huairu was silent for a moment, stopped, and slapped her sister in the face.

Qin Jingru covered her face in shock and looked at her sister, not knowing why.

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, it'll teach you a lesson!"

Qin Huairu said with a headache: "If I had come a little later, would you two have hugged and kissed each other? What did I tell you? You can't let Xu Damao take advantage of you before you get married."

Qin Jingru said softly, "But Damao said that if I get along with him, he won't look for another woman, and if I get pregnant, we can go get the marriage certificate directly."

",,, you believe what a man says? Besides, pregnancy is not that easy. Xu Damao and his ex-wife have been married for a long time, but they haven't had a boy or a girl."

Qin Huairu saw her sister's confused eyes, sighed and said, "In short, no matter what, you can't sleep with Xu Damao before getting married!"

,,,,,,

While Qin and her sister were taking a walk, Xu Damao came to the backyard with a big bag and knocked on the door of the deaf old lady.

"Who?"

Xu Damao listened to his ex-wife's familiar voice, took a deep breath, and said, "It's me. I'm here to give you something."

After Lou Xiao'e came out with a cold face, Xu Damao put the things on the ground and asked sarcastically: "Do you want to check to see if there is anything missing?"

Lou Xiao'e replied expressionlessly: "No conscience."

"Hey, what are you saying, Lou Xiao'e? Let me tell you, if we are to argue about who owes whom, it's you who owes me. Have you ever seen a married woman go back to her parents' home every day?"

"Can you blame me?" Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "If you hadn't run out and fought with others, would we not have been able to have children? And don't think I don't know that when we first got married, you were flirting with other girls in the village every day, otherwise my father wouldn't have let me separate from you."

Xu Damao turned his head with a guilty conscience and asked, "You didn't say anything nonsense about me, did you?"

"Your business has nothing to do with me. What am I talking about?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao's face and suddenly realized: "Okay, you chased me away and found someone right after that, right? I tell you, this time we are divorced!"

"Let's get a divorce." Xu Damao was furious when he heard her words. He pointed at her nose and said, "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, let's go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce."

Lou Xiao'e refused to be outdone: "Whoever doesn't come is a grandson!"

"Okay, let's put it this way. Whoever doesn't come can call me grandpa."

The two of them didn't get along well and turned away after just a few words. However, Lou Xiao'e's face was full of indignation, while Xu Damao's eyes flashed a gloom from time to time.

"What if she talks nonsense in the yard? It's time to find a way to get this bitch out of here."
