The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Qin Zhenghe laughed and continued, "I know, I know. Awei is a blessing to our Qin family and to our entire village."

Qin Huairu chuckled. "Uncle San, is Awei still my blessing?"

After a pleasant chat, Zhou Xiaomei was busy packing clothes for Qin Jingru. Although Qin Huairu would not return to the city until the afternoon, she had to pack clothes in advance, right?

At noon, he even invited Qin Huairu to have lunch at his home.

During the meal, Qin Zhenghe and his wife repeatedly told Qin Jingru to be obedient and diligent when she got to the city...

Qin Jingru nodded her head obediently, feeling happy.

She has liked her elder sister Qin Huairu since she was young, and likes to stick to her. The sisters have a very good relationship. Now she has a favorite brother-in-law, who hugs her comfortably and often secretly gives her candies.

"Daya, if Xiaoliu doesn't listen to you in the city, you'll have to give her a good beating. Don't spoil her."

"Aunt San, don't worry! I've always been the one playing with Xiaoliu, and I know whether she's well behaved or not! She'll be going to school next month, so if you miss her, just ask Awu to tell her that I'll bring her back when I'm free on the weekend."

Zhou Xiaomei waved her hand. "Don't bother Daya. Let her come back after the long vacation."

I thought to myself, if I come back and go crazy again in the village, like a mud monkey, all the good habits I developed in the city will be wasted!

……

After dinner, Qin Huairu went home to say hello and then took Qin Jingru back to the city.

On the way, the little one was very excited, asking questions like this and that...

As soon as she entered the city, Qin Huairu saw someone selling candy figures on the roadside and bought two, which made Qin Jingru very happy.

I was only five years old, and was curious about everything. I was interested in everything in the city.

Afterwards, Qin Huairu took her shopping and bought a bunch of food, toys and clothes before returning to the courtyard.

As Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru entered the gate of the courtyard, a group of middle-aged women who were chatting in the shade in the front yard asked them questions.

"Huai Ru, is this little girl your relative? She has a pretty face. She will definitely be a beauty like you when she grows up."

Qin Huairu smiled and answered. "My dear ladies, this is my cousin. She is about to go to school. It is not convenient to go to school in the village. It is a good opportunity to bring her here to keep Yushui company."

On the one hand, there is the Qin family's genes, and on the other hand, Qin Jingru's mother Zhou Xiaomei is also very beautiful. Combining the two, she naturally looks good.

Moreover, life in the village has not been bad in the past two years, so he naturally became plump and white, with a face full of baby fat, which looks very cute.

All the aunts were very envious, thinking it was great to have such relatives.

"That's right. You two are kindhearted and are willing to help. These are our relatives, so how could we not help them?"

At this moment, they were convinced in their hearts that Chang Wei and his wife were truly kind-hearted, and they believed it absolutely.

After chatting for a while, Qin Huairu took Qin Jingru home.

As soon as she entered the yard, she saw such a large yard, and there were some flowers and plants that had not been pulled out and butterflies were sitting on them, which made Qin Jingru very happy. As a child's nature, she happily chased the butterflies.

Qin Huairu smiled and let her play by herself.

When I walked into the bedroom, I saw Chang Wei sleeping soundly with his arms around Liu Qing's waist.

Liu Qing, on the other hand, was fanning him with a happy look and tender eyes.

"Sister Qing, I saw that the courtyard gate was locked. I thought he took you and Yu Shui out to play!" Qin Huairu whispered.

Liu Qing smiled and whispered. "Look, he sleeps like a pig. He's not really a god. He must be tired after sleeping for such a short time every day. Yu Shui ran to the yard to play with his friends."

Listening to Liu Qing's distressed words, Qin Huairu sat down beside the bed and looked at Chang Wei distressedly. "Yes, he is full of energy and still a human being."

Liu Qing suddenly brought it up. "By the way, Huairu, Awei came back and said that he wants you to go study, something like Street Office Activist, saying that if you perform well, you can become a cadre. I don't understand what he said, but he was so happy when he said it."

"Really? Sister Qing." Qin Huairu was delighted when she heard the word "cadre", but she looked at Chang Wei with heartache. "He! He is always worried about us, thinking about this and that for us. I am very satisfied with our family. I never dreamed that I could live like this before."

"Who isn't? Compared to the life I and the girl had before, this is simply heaven..."

The two girls chatted quietly and took turns fanning Chang Wei as he slept soundly.

evening.

He Yushui came back and saw Qin Jingru. They were both children, so they quickly got along well and played happily in the yard.

Chang Wei and Qin Huairu were going out to keep a date. Before leaving, he took out a handful of fruit candies and gave them to the two little girls.

"Yushui, Xiaoliu, we're going out for something tonight and won't be back for dinner. You have to listen to Aunt Qing and eat well."

He Yushui nodded obediently. "Then can I take Jingru to play in the yard?"

Chang Wei patted their heads. "Okay, but remember to come back early for dinner."

"Got it, Brother Awei."

After responding sweetly, He Yushui happily ran away holding Qin Jingru's hand and went to introduce Qin Jingru to her playmates in the yard, including Xu Ling, the younger sister of Xu Damao in the backyard, and several other girls of the same age in the yard.

Qin Jingru and He Yushui took out the fruit candies that Chang Wei had just given them and shared them with their friends. Children were just like that, and under the candy offensive, they quickly became good friends.

Because Qin Jingru is the youngest, everyone takes better care of her.

After hearing Qin Jingru calling her Sister Yu Shui, He Yu Shui was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She felt very happy that she was also a sister now.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chang Wei and his wife came to Youyishun Restaurant.

After standing at the door and waiting for a while, Zhao Zhen and his wife hadn't come yet, so Chang Wei ordered a portion of what he had last time. After a while, Shen Man came and asked if she liked anything else and ordered more. They were so close and polite.

Just after they ordered the dishes, Zhao Zhen and his wife arrived. The waiter, who was about to leave with the menu, was called back by Chang Wei.

After greeting each other, they sat down.

After Zhao Zhen ordered two more dishes for his wife, they started chatting.

Shen Man pulled Qin Huairu and spoke to her.

"Huai Ru, Lao Zhao and A Wei didn't explain it clearly. This street office activist is elected by the people themselves, a mass self-governing organization. At the beginning! He was not on the staff, had no specific position, and did not receive a salary. He only received a subsidy of rice and flour for living.

I have a quota in my hand, and I want to recommend you to the municipal government to study the party's policies and become a preparatory cadre. When the pilot begins, won't the street office have a leader? These street work activists are the leaders of the neighborhood committees in the small areas below, and they connect with the masses. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment before asking, "Aunt, what you mean is that I don't need to contact the masses. I will accept the instructions from my superiors and guide and arrange the work of the people who manage the neighborhood committee? Is that right?"

"Generally speaking, that's what it means. Arrange work tasks according to the orders of superiors, etc. You will understand it after you finish learning. But you have to work hard to perform well. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Those who perform well in the training can really be promoted to the position of director of the sub-district office area if they pass the assessment, just as your uncle Zhao said."

Shen Man took a sip of water and continued, "Of course, being a section-level cadre is just a guarantee. If you do well in the future, you can be promoted step by step..."
