Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

From today on, the idea of ​​marrying to a city dweller was planted in the mind of little Qin Jingru. She felt that only by marrying to a city dweller could she live a very good life. Qin Jingru's face was full of smiles. She took out a White Rabbit candy that she was reluctant to eat from her pocket, handed it to her father and said, "Dad, try it. This is the White Rabbit candy that Yushui gave me. It's delicious."

Looking at the candy, Qin Changchuan swallowed his saliva. He smiled and patted his daughter's head and said, "You eat it. Daddy is so old now, I don't want to eat it." Qin Jingru knew that her father was reluctant to eat it, so she pouted and said, "Dad, you eat it, you eat it." Seeing his daughter's aggrieved look, Qin Changchuan was very pleased.

He picked up his daughter, took off the outer coating of the candy, and put it into his mouth. A milky fragrance emanated from his mouth, and Qin Jingru's eyes lit up and said, "Dad, is it delicious?" Qin Changchuan smiled and said, "It's delicious. My daughter is so filial. It's so delicious. When Dad goes to the city again in a while, I will buy some candy for Jingru."

The father and daughter walked on the road in the village, looking very happy. They would exchange a few words with the villagers they met. Until they returned home and saw their son Qin Guohai, who looked like a mud monkey, Qin Changchuan put his daughter down and scolded with a dark face, "You dead thing, your mother made new clothes for you, and you made them so dirty, even your sister didn't have them. I must beat you to death today, you loser."

He picked up the willow branches nearby and hit his youngest son with them. Qin Guohai was the most mischievous and was often beaten by Qin Changchuan. Seeing his father picking up the willow branches, Qin Guohai ran out when he saw that the situation was not good. Qin Changchuan chased him from behind. He had to teach his troublesome son a lesson today. Day by day, these boys are not as filial as the girls.

At Qin Changsheng's home, Aunt Qin handed the things that He Yuzhu brought to his father-in-law and mother-in-law to her eldest brother. Aunt Qin praised him and said, "Brother, our Qin family is really prosperous. Your son-in-law is really good. If it weren't for your son-in-law's help, our family would have been cheated away by the people at the purchasing station yesterday."

Qin Changsheng looked at the things on the table, sighed and said, "Alas, our son-in-law is really honest. Who else in the surrounding area has a son-in-law like him?" Although he complained, the curve of his mouth betrayed him. Qin's mother glanced at her old man, and said to her brother and sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, you have come all the way here, and you must have worked hard."

Mother Qin was not stingy and took the meat to the kitchen and cut a pound of meat for Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin tried to refuse, but Qin Changsheng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's too hot these days. Take it back to nourish my second brother. And you can notify my third brother's family and ask them to come and get a pound of meat as well."

Aunt Qin nodded, thanked Qin Changsheng for a while, and left Qin Changsheng's house. Qin Changsheng looked at his wife and said unhappy, took a few puffs of cigarettes and said, "Why, I gave the second son a little bit of the pork that my daughter and son-in-law bought for us, and you are unhappy."

Mother Qin frowned and said, "Old man, I can understand if you give a pound of pork to the second son. But if you give it to the third son, wouldn't that be a bit too generous?" Qin Changsheng knocked his pipe on the table, smiled bitterly and said, "People in the old days said that people with long hair have little knowledge, and they are really right. I once heard a teacher say that it is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth."

"If we give the second brother a pound of meat, and if the third brother's family finds out, even though he won't say anything on the surface, he will definitely be unhappy deep down. It's not good and not worth it to offend the friendship among three of us brothers for such a small thing."

Mother Qin nodded, and she was no longer so fussy about giving the third son a pound of pork. She nodded and said with a smile, "Old man, you really have ideas. This makes sense." Qin Changsheng said very proudly, "That's right, before liberation, I studied in a private school for a year." Mother Qin smiled and went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Qin Guodong came in from outside, his head covered with sweat. Seeing his son coming back, Qin Changsheng smiled and said, "Where have you been playing again, kid? Although your illness has improved a lot, you still have to be careful, understand?"

Qin Guodong nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, I know what's right. I just played with Guohai and the others, and they went to the river to swim, but I didn't." When Qin Changsheng heard this, he took out his pipe and wanted to hit Qin Guodong and said, "Damn it, you are trying to make trouble. You actually wanted to go to the river to swim. I must teach you a lesson today."

Qin Guodong was about to beat his son with his pipe, but was stopped by his mother. After learning the whole story, Qin's mother slapped her son on the neck and said, "You little bastard, no wonder your dad beat you. Can you go swimming in the river? What if you drown? Have you forgotten the lesson of Erdanzi a few years ago? If something happens to you, how will your dad and I live?"

Qin Changsheng snorted coldly and said to his wife, "It seems that I need to tell my second and third brothers about this matter. Going into the river to swim is absolutely not allowed." Qin Guodong explained on the side, "Mom and Dad, please don't say anything. We are very good swimmers. It's just a small river. We know what's good for us."

Qin Changsheng, who had never lost his temper before, snorted coldly and cursed, "I'm going to beat you to death, you ungrateful thing. I tell you, those who drown are those who can swim. I feel something strange in that river, you kids can't go into the river again. Have you forgotten the lesson I learned from Erdanzi a few years ago? Although that river is relatively shallow, there are swamps in it. If you get stuck in it, can you get out? No, I have to talk to the second and third brothers about this matter, and it's also for the safety of you little bastards. If I know that you dare to go into the river again, I will break your legs."

Seeing his father's aggressive look, Qin Guodong felt a little aggrieved. He pouted and said, "It's really too hot these days. We just want to avoid the heat. Dad, please forgive me this time." Qin Changsheng wanted to say something? Qin Changfeng walked in with a smile and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Guodong has just recovered from a serious illness, so don't scold him."
