Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 131 Xu Damao Meets Qin Jingru for the First Time
"Sister Qin?" Qin Jingru thought that this should be an acquaintance, and heaved a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said, "Do you know my cousin, Qin Huairu?"

"Are you Sister Qin's younger sister, Qin Jingru? Did your sister mention you to me two days ago? I'm your sister's neighbor Xu Damao."

Xu Damao already knew from Qin Huairu that he was going to introduce Qin Jingru to Sha Zhu.

Say Qin Jingru's name at this time,
Immediately gained the trust of Qin Jingru,
Qin Jingru smiled and said: "Brother Xu, I am Qin Jingru, can you take me to my sister's house?"

"It's a coincidence that your sister has gone to work."

"Oh, the morning bus broke down halfway, and it took a long time to fix it, otherwise it would have arrived before my sister went to work." Qin Jingru said angrily.

Qin Huairu sent another registered letter to her family,

After talking about sticks, her grandma went in,

Urging Qin Jingru to hurry up and go on a blind date,
By the way, cook for the three children at noon.

Qin Jingru discussed with her family after receiving the letter,
The next morning I got up at three o'clock to take the morning bus,
Who would have thought that it would be a waste of time if it broke down halfway,
Otherwise, Qin Huairu would have arrived before going to work.

Xu Damao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, your sister's house and I are neighbors in the front and back yards, why don't you come to my house first?"

Qin Jingru hesitated a bit, although the big brother could call out his name,
However, Qin Jingru still didn't want to go to a stranger's house.

Seeing that Qin Jingru hesitated, Xu Damao said:

"I'll take you to the middle courtyard to see your sister's house first. Why should I lie to you about a little girl?"

"Thank you Brother Xu, I still have an impression of my sister's house, I came here a few years ago." Qin Jingru said and followed Xu Damao into the yard.

All the way to the central courtyard, Xu Damao stopped and said, "These three rooms in the west wing are your sister's home."

Qin Jingru looked at the surrounding environment,
completely consistent with my own impression,
After confirming that it is my cousin Qin Huairu's house,

The trust in Xu Damao has increased by three points.

Xu Damao saw that the nervous Qin Jingru had relaxed a little, and said:

"My house is in the west wing of the backyard. I have been neighbors with your brother-in-law Jia's for many years. Sister Qin usually takes good care of me. Now that Sister Qin's sister is visiting relatives, I can let you drink the northwest wind outside. .”

After speaking, Xu Damao pointed to his own room in the backyard and said, "This is my home."

Qin Jingru is relieved now,
Neighbors who are so close should not lie to themselves.
Can you still eat yourself in broad daylight?
There was a pair of scissors in his package for self-defense.

Qin Jingru still smiled politely: "Would it be too much trouble for you!"

"You're out of touch now. Your sister and I are closer than siblings."

Xu Damao said, leading Qin Jingru to the backyard,

Stopped the bicycle and opened the door: "Come in and sit down, it's too cold today."

Xu Damao is not short of money, he has already burned a coal stove for heating,

After entering the room, he greeted Qin Jingru to sit down,

He poured a cup of hot tea: "Come and drink some hot tea, it's warm."

"Brother Xu, thank you."

Qin Huairu said looking at the furnishings of the house,

After Lou Xiaoe removed all the dowry,

Xu Damao had no choice but to buy some more.
What Qin Jingru saw was brand new furniture, three spacious rooms,
Brother Xu has bicycles outside his home and wears a Shanghai brand watch.
There is also a sewing machine and a radio in the house,
Qin Jingru was extremely envious. It would be great if the blind date introduced by my cousin also had such conditions.

Even 30 years old is acceptable.

The letter said that he was 30 years old, only one year younger than his cousin,
Qin Jingru's father was a little reluctant,
I think Qin Huairu's introduction is not good, she is too old,

Qin Jingru is not yet twenty,
You should find someone younger to be suitable.

Qin Jingru wholeheartedly wanted to marry in the capital,
I finally persuaded my parents to come and meet me,
Whether they agree or disagree is an explanation to Qin Huairu.

Yesterday Xu Damao already knew that Qin Jingru was going to introduce Sha Zhu,

Coincidentally, when I came out of the police station, I met Qin Jingru,

Xu Damao thought to himself that what he said would ruin the blind date between Shazhu and Qin Jingru,
Maybe he could fool the silly village girl in front of him and himself.

Xu Damao took out a few pieces of children's crispy candies and some sunflower seeds and put them in front of Qin Jingru,
Said: "Girl, eat, don't be polite with brother Xu, just treat it as your own home, your sister is never polite when you come to me."

"Brother Xu, my name is Qin Jingru, you can just call me Jingru." Qin Jingru was relieved,

"Jingru, you are here to visit relatives, what's the matter? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, brother Xu can help you." Xu Damao asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just that my sister and her mother-in-law have an accident, and the three children can't eat at noon, so I'm here to help."

Qin Jingru then said embarrassingly:
"My sister is going to introduce me to someone."

Qin Jingru also wanted to inquire about the situation of the blind date,

I hope to hear pertinent comments from my sister taking care of her neighbors.

Cousin Qin Huairu praised He Yuzhu like crazy,
Qin Jingru couldn't believe what she said,

How could such a good condition not find a partner until thirty?

Cousin Qin Huairu is only one year older.
The eldest son, Bang Giao, is in the sixth grade of elementary school.
This blind date partner, He Yuzhu, might have something wrong.
Qin Huairu is a cousin, but she hasn't returned to her hometown for several years.
I still have an extra mind, so as not to be deceived.

Xu Damao pretended to be confused and asked: "Sister, you are so juicy, the person your sister introduced must not be bad, who is your sister introducing?"

The blush on Qin Jingru's face hadn't subsided yet, and it surged up again,

Said: "My sister introduced me to Comrade He Yuzhu."

"He Yuzhu?" Xu Damao had a puzzled face.

"Isn't He Yuzhu a neighbor in your compound? Brother Xu hasn't heard of it?"

Qin Jingru was a little flustered,
Why don't people who live in a compound know their names?

Have you met a liar?
What should I do, should I run away first?
Qin Jingru put his hand into the package on his side,
Hold the scissors tightly.

"No way, your sister introduced you to a fool?" Xu Damao said exaggeratedly.

"Fool? Brother Xu, do you think Comrade He Yuzhu is a fool?"

Qin Jingru didn't bother to tell whether the person in front of her was a liar,
Suddenly stunned by this news,

He Yuzhu is a fool!My sister actually introduced herself to a fool!

Although she is only a cousin, the population of the two families is not prosperous.

Live together as one big family,
How could my sister cheat herself like this!

Xu Damao asked: "Sister, the He Yuzhu you are talking about is the cook in the cafeteria of our Red Star Rolling Mill, isn't it?"

Qin Jingru nodded and said, "My sister said so in her letter."

"That's right, Shazhu lives in the main room of the middle courtyard, diagonally opposite your sister's house, right?"

Qin Jingru continued to nod: "Yes, my sister said she is a neighbor in the same yard."

"However, no one in our Red Star Rolling Mill calls He Yuzhu by his name."

"Why?" Qin Jingru asked.
