Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

"Tsk, who is stupid these days? Cover your face. You know who I am. I have a bag on my chest filled with melon seeds. I will sell them to anyone who wants me. If things don't go well, just run away."

"Like you, what can you do if you get caught? You don't have a job and you have two children to support. At most you will be fined and educated, and then you will be released."

"Also, you have to pay the fine!"

Qin Huairu didn't know why, but suddenly he had another idea.

But she still said with no confidence: "You are just bragging, earning thirty or fifty a day? Are you kidding? A day's salary is more than a worker's monthly salary."

"Hey, you don't believe it, right? If you don't believe it, there's a movie theater not far from here, and you know the place. Why don't you go and try selling it and you'll know.

I have some melon seeds here, but you cover your face. If you can’t sell them for three yuan in an hour, I will lose three hundred yuan to you.”

Qin Huairu put on his clothes and said, "Give me the melon seeds. I want to see if you are bragging."

"Uh, are you really going? It's New Year's Day, you should take a break."

Qin Huairu said, "Don't waste time. I still want to win your three hundred dollars. You are not afraid of losing, are you? If you are afraid of losing, then even if I didn't say anything."

"Hey, you're just fucking me, are you?

"Okay, I am just now, right?"

After that, he took a bag of melon seeds and hung it directly around Qin Huairu's neck, then took a cup that could hold three taels of wine and said, "Two cents per cup."

Then he took some more newspapers, handed them to her, took a piece of newspaper and rolled it up to make a funnel shape, made a cup of melon seeds and poured it into it and said, "Sell it like this."

"When you go, give some to a few moviegoers to try, especially young couples. Don't give too much, just ten or so pills each will be fine. Go ahead. It's three o'clock now, and it will take about half an hour to go back and forth. You can come back at half past four and see if you can sell them for more than three dollars."

Qin Huairu was not afraid either, and said to Xiao Dang Huaihua: "You must be obedient and not be naughty. Mom will be back soon."

After Qin Huairu left, Xiaodang and Huaihua would occasionally look at the remaining firecrackers Qin Jingru had set off.

Qin Jingru could see that they also wanted to set off firecrackers, so she said, "Xiaodang, Huaihua, come on, auntie will take you to set off firecrackers."

When the two little girls heard this, they cheered happily, "Thank you, auntie, you are so kind. My mother has never bought us firecrackers."

Xiao Dang thought of something and said, "Uncle-in-law is also good."

Huaihua also said, "Hello, uncle."

"Okay, go set off some fireworks with your aunt."

In the Central Courtyard, at Sha Zhu's house, after finishing their meal, Tang Xin and the others went to sleep. They were a little tired after being busy for the whole morning.

Sha Zhu sat there alone, feeling uneasy, so he put on his clothes and went out.

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw Qin Jingru setting off fireworks outside and asked, "Where's Li Feng?"

"I'm at home, Brother Zhuzi, do you have something to talk to him about?"

"No, we've just finished our meal. Nothing to do, just go talk to him."

"Okay, then go in."

Li Feng was eating lychees when he saw Sha Zhu coming over and said, "Hey, why are you so idle? Come and have some fruit?"

Sha Zhu sat down and said, "I've finished my meal. Nothing to do. Let's take a walk for a while."

"Well, how many dishes did you make for lunch?"

"Four and eight are stable, four are cold, and eight are hot!"

"Not bad!"

"Try this mango, it tastes pretty good, you can eat it after peeling the skin. This cut cantaloupe tastes good too, try it."

"Your life is unmatched. I've cooked for many leaders, but none of them have as many vegetables and fruits as you do! There are many fruits I've never even heard of!"

"Brother Zhuzi, what are you doing here?"

"Well, you can see it!"

"Let's be honest. I've been doing okay all these years, haven't I? I haven't done anything to let you down, right?"

"I know that the Su Ke'er sisters, Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li, have all gone to Hong Kong Island. I just want my family to live a peaceful and stable life. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Without Tang Xin, I really can't live!"

Li Feng was speechless. He looked at Sha Zhu's red eyes, nodded and said, "Don't worry. If there is no danger in the future, why would I let them go?"

"Don't worry, eat some fruit. This year's kiwi fruit tastes pretty good too. Try it."

Sha Zhu ate a piece of cantaloupe and asked, "How many dishes did you have for lunch?"

"I didn't eat at home at noon. Jingru and I went to Fengqin's house to eat. There weren't many dishes. It was perfect, right?"

Sha Zhu looked at Li Feng in astonishment, then gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother, I have never admired anyone in this hospital except you. I really admire you!"

Li Feng smiled bitterly and said, "What's there to admire?"

"Okay, now you feel better now, right? Take this bag of fruit back and let the child have some."

Silly Pillar...

"My heart knot had been untied, but now that you said that, I feel a wave of distress again."

"Well, I didn't say that."

"Humph."

Sha Zhu picked up the fruit and left without looking back.

Li Feng shook his head helplessly. He really didn't want to! It was all an accident. What could he do?

"Hey, it's too late to say anything now. After the reform and opening up, let him work as a chef in a restaurant to make up for it!"

After a while, Qin Jingru came back and said, "Brother, does He Yuzhu want to talk to you about something?"

"Nothing, I just told him before, give him some fruit and let him try it when I get home."

"Oh."

Li Feng looked at Xiao Dang and Huaihua and asked, "How was it? Was it fun to set off firecrackers?"

"It's fun. Uncle, you don't know, setting off firecrackers is really fun."

"Haha, that's good. I'll let your aunt accompany you to set off some fireworks later."

At this time Qin Huairu ran back, still panting.

Li Feng was stunned and asked, "What happened to you? Did a dog chase you away?"

Qin Huairu waved his hand, picked up his teacup, drank a sip of water, and calmed down.

Li Feng was speechless and said, "It's not Qin Huairu, why are you drinking water from my cup again?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at how stingy you are. I just used your cup. Is that a big deal?"

"Okay, stop making fun of me. How come you're back so soon? It's only been over half an hour, right?"

"Why else? They're sold out! You don't know how popular these melon seeds are! As long as people have eaten the melon seeds, they will buy more! This time I'm convinced."

He poured out all the money. Qin Jingru looked at the money and helped count it.

After a while, he counted them out, and Qin Huairu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth and said, "This, this is too incredible, right?

In just such a short time, it was sold for twenty-seven dollars and eighty cents?

I, I can’t earn that much money in a month!”

"Haha, Qin Huairu, I just want to ask you if you accept it or not."

"I am convinced, I am convinced from the bottom of my heart, and I admire you!"
