Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Xiaodang, who was a little more sensible, put the bowl on the table with tears in his eyes; as for Huaihua, she was too young and ignorant, and was still reluctant to let go of the food.

Seeing that the two were unmoved, the strange old woman then went into the house and took out a feather duster to chase them out, forcing Xiao Dang to run away with Huaihua.

Xiaodang and Huaihua were forced to go out, while Banggeng could only lower his head and eat the meat in the bowl under the suppression of Grandmother Jia.

This grandmother treated her grandchildren like this and called them "dirty". She treated her late son's widow with no gratitude and malice. She is extremely selfish, ruthless and cold-blooded! She only cares about her own interests and has no regard for other people's feelings.

Daddy, I'm hungry. After being asked to leave home, Xiao Huai and Dang Huai did not have the courage to leave the house. Their mother always warned them that there were human traffickers outside and they might be kidnapped if they were left alone.

So Xiaohuai and Danghuai, who were helpless and afraid to go out, could only stay at home and wait for their mother to come home.

Xiao Huai and Dang Huai hadn't had a proper dinner yet, and they were starving. The cold winter evening in Beijing made them feel even more hungry...

When Huai and Xiao Huai happened to smell the smoke and food from their neighbor He Yuzhu's house,

Huaihua looked at the lights in He Yuzhu's house and couldn't help but whisper to her sister: "Sister, my stomach is empty and it's so cold. Can we go find the silly uncle? Will mother be here too?"

Xiao Huai was older and more knowledgeable than Huaihua. She understood the meaning of her grandmother's harsh words and had no interest in going to He Yuzhu's house.

He hugged Huaihua and said, "Sister, I am also hungry. But it is not appropriate to go to Uncle Silly right now. We have to wait for Mommy to come home. I am worried that if Mommy can't see us, she will be very anxious. Let's wait until Mommy comes home before going to Uncle Silly's house."

However, Huaihua was still too young. Whenever she was hungry, she would go to He Yuzhu's house; because Yuzhu liked Huaihua very much, he often gave her food and took care of her.

Breaking free from Xiao Huai's embrace, he ran towards Yu Zhu's house without stopping, and peeped into the house from the door...

Although Xiao Huai tried to stop them, he failed. After thinking about it, the distance was not far and it was very cold outside. If her mother couldn't find them when she returned home, she would definitely go to Uncle He's house first to visit.

Finally, I decided to run after her, crouching behind Huaihua and poking my head through the gap in the door curtain to look into the room...

At the same time, Qin Jingru was sitting on He Yuzhu's lap and saying sweet words to him, while feeding her beloved brother Zhu with bamboo chopsticks and kissing him at the same time. The two were very sweet.

Newly married couples cannot avoid being intimate, and Qin Jingru does not want to be separated from Yuzhu at all. She just wants to stay close to her beloved.

He Yuzhu, who was holding the girl in his arms, reached into her clothes and felt the soft skin of her belly, feeling extremely happy. In that era, there was a lack of entertainment in the evening, and having a beautiful and virtuous wife in his arms was undoubtedly the best thing.

As Yu Zhu caressed her, Qin Jingru felt an itch rising from her waist, and she cried coquettishly, "Brother Zhu, this is a little itchy."

Xiao Huai and Huai Hua stared at the sweet scene of the two in amazement. Their eyes were fixed on the chicken nuggets in Qin Jingru's hands. They could not restrain their saliva and swallowed subconsciously...

The short-statured Sophora japonica was supported by the small Sophora japonica, and was too weak to maintain a stable standing posture.

Her body suddenly tilted and her forehead hit the door railing. She couldn't help but groan in pain: "Oh! Sister, it hurts!"

Hearing his sister crying, Dang Huai panicked! He felt embarrassed for being caught peeping and looked at the Yuzhu couple with red cheeks.

As for Qin Jingru and He Yuzhu, who were immersed in their sweet emotional world, there was no way they would notice the appearance of the two little girls.

Especially on Qin Jingru's side, as soon as Huaihua called her, Qin Jingru was so scared that she immediately jumped up from He Yuzhu's legs and turned to look towards the door.

He Yuzhu didn't care. When he heard Huaihua calling, he turned around to see who was at his door, wondering if they had something to do.

Huaihua held her aching head, her face full of grievance, and complained like crying: "Stupid pig..."

Qin Jingru gently stroked her chest to calm her fear, then turned to the two little girls and asked with concern: "It's you, what are you doing standing there? It's cold outside, come in quickly~"

Faced with such an invitation, Xiao Dang was a little shy and didn't dare to enter. She asked Qin Jingru softly: "Auntie, Huaihua and I wanted to come and see if my mother came to see you?"

Qin Jingru immediately stepped forward and pulled them in, and answered her as she walked: "No, I didn't see your mommy. Come, come over here and warm up. Both of your hands are cold to the bone..."

Qin Jingru asked them to sit on the chairs near the fire. Huaihua's eyes were fixed on the delicious dishes on the table: braised pork, stewed chicken soup and fish, and then she looked at He Yuzhu with expectant eyes, "...stupid pig..."

He Yuzhu felt a little amused and confused - because the girl was still missing a few teeth, her pronunciation was not clear. In the past, he was always called "stupid uncle", but she pronounced it more like "stupid pig."

So he waved and called her, "Huaihua, come here, come here."

Huaihua ran over quickly, and then He Yuzhu picked her up, supporting her hips with his left hand so that Huaihua could sit on his thigh, and quickly handed a chicken wing to the greedy child with his right hand.

Huaihua took the chicken wing with both hands and nibbled it with her small mouth that had not yet grown all the teeth. While chewing, she mumbled with a mouthful of food in her mouth: "Thank you... stupid pig..."

He Yuzhu stroked her round and tender face and corrected her, saying, "Huaihua, you can't call me stupid pig from now on, or I will get angry!"

Huaihua seemed a little confused and asked: "Why? My brother said your name is... Stupid Pig?"

It is impossible to blame a little girl. After thinking for a while, he patiently taught her: "Huaihua, if you call me stupid pig, I will no longer give you meat delicacies! But if you are obedient and want to taste more meat, you should call me daddy!"

Huaihua half-understood and buried her head in eating her chicken wings, and meekly agreed: "Okay, Huaihua is eager to have more delicious meat. Then I will call you daddy from now on!"

After Huaihua ate the whole chicken wing, she was still hungry. She said to He Yuzhu, "Dad, I'm still hungry! I want more food and praise!"

"Oh... Great! Sophora japonica is the best!" He Yuzhu was very happy to hear that, and then took out a chicken leg for her to enjoy.

If you continue to keep it like this for about 11 or 12 years, you may be able to let the Sophora japonica officially live under the eaves. The future is promising!

Xiao Dang, who was sitting next to him, felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Huaihua change "Stupid Uncle" to "Dad", but he didn't know how to say it.

Qin Jingru was quite enthusiastic and generous. She took a pair of chopsticks and picked up several pieces of meat for Xiaodang. Then she watched Xiaodang chew greedily and said politely, "Eat slowly, eat slowly. Are you so hungry? Didn't your mother prepare dinner for you tonight?"

### 36 Good and Evil Distinguished ###

After He Yuzhu arranged for Qin Jingru to take care of the two little girls, he went out alone to look for Qin Huairu.

After a little thought, he guessed that Qin Huairu was probably hiding in the cellar, crying and venting her dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, after seeing the faint candlelight near the cellar, he knew that his guess was correct. When he went down to take a look, it was indeed Qin Huairu with tears on her face.

Qin Huairu, who was hiding in the cellar, felt more and more depressed. Since Jia Dongxu's death, she had been solely responsible for raising three children and serving her mother-in-law for several years.

Life was already tight, but the mother-in-law still insisted on paying five yuan per month for living expenses.

Without He Yuzhu's help and support, Qin Huairu would probably have had to give up her self-esteem and allow others to violate her in order to barely maintain her family life.

They are more likely to sacrifice themselves, not only losing their dignity but also being insulted and mocked by others, just to keep the job.

Two years ago, she didn't want to trouble He Yuzhu all the time; but since they were neither relatives nor lovers, she was reluctant to always ask for help.

The children's cries of hunger made her feel extremely distressed, so she wanted to seek financial support from her mother-in-law that Jia Dongxu left to the family to help them get through the difficult times.

However, when she asked her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, for financial support, she was always met with cold words. If Qin Huairu expressed the slightest dissatisfaction, she would be criticized and blamed.

In desperation, Qin Huairu had to rely on He Yuzhu's help.

In her daily work, people like workshop supervisor Li and Xu Damao always had improper thoughts about her, especially after her husband passed away. Their eyes were like hungry wolves staring at a lamb walking alone, trying to swallow it up in one fell swoop. Only when facing He Yuzhu did Qin Huairu feel at ease.

As a technician valued by the leader and a stubborn person who no one dares to provoke, He Yuzhu always steps forward to stop others from having any improper intentions towards Qin Huairu. Although he appears cold and tough, Qin Huairu knows that he has a gentle nature and has always treated her well.

Whenever she encountered difficulties or was bullied, He Yuzhu would lend a helping hand once he knew about it. Qin Huairu was filled with indescribable gratitude towards He Yuzhu.

The early days after her husband Jia Dongxu passed away were particularly difficult. Qin Huairu had not yet recovered from giving birth to Sophora japonica, and she did not have a stable income at work, and the salary of only a dozen yuan was insignificant. At this time, He Yuzhu generously lent a helping hand to help the poor, but Qin Huairu was skeptical at first whether he had altruistic intentions.

However, as time went by, it was proven that he had always treated her sincerely, and gradually she became convinced that he was a true gentleman.

She sometimes fantasized that it would be fine if she married such a trustworthy friend.

But she is married and has three children, which makes her feel inferior to others. In addition, her mother-in-law Jia Zhang always opposes with sarcasm. Facing the still-living spirit of Jia Dongxu, she finds it difficult to overcome her inner shackles.

After many years of overcoming these difficulties, his sincerity finally touched Qin Huairu's heart. Sometimes their intimate interactions were a little ambiguous, and once He Yuzhu's gaze on her made her feel happy.
