Siheyuan: Twenty-eight bars chasing Qin Jingru

Chapter 541 A Cold Winter Night (Please Subscribe For A Monthly Pass)

Although Jia Dongxu lay in bed every day and couldn't move, his appetite was bigger than ordinary people.

Qin Huairu brought him leftovers and porridge, and he ate them in two or three bites.

Seeing that the bowl was empty, Jia Dongxu said cursingly, "That's all? It's not even enough to stuff my teeth!"

"Hurry up and get me another bowl!"

Qin Huairu had no choice but to go back to serve him again, but only when he got to the table did he see that there were still leftovers on the plate?
It has been eaten up by Jia Zhang and Bang Geng for a long time. At this moment, Jia Zhang is holding a plate and licking a little bit of oil on the bottom of the plate.

And the porridge in the pot had already been scraped clean by them.

Nothing was left for Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was already hungry, and she ran out of food before she even took a bite. She couldn't help feeling aggrieved, and said, "Mom, you know that I haven't eaten yet, so why didn't you tell me to leave some for me!"

"I haven't eaten a bite since noon!"

When Jia Zhangshi heard what Qin Huairu said, she immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Who told you to dawdle on your own!"

"Besides, it's not your fault that you didn't cook enough food! You still have the face to ask me!"

"I see you hooking up with this one and that one every day. Why can't you hook up with a few steamed buns? Let's eat this thin noodle soup and some leftovers!"

"What a useless thing!"

As soon as Jia Zhang's words fell, the stick sitting beside him actually followed his grandma and said, "That's right! It's really useless!"

When Qin Huairu heard this, her heart sank, and she couldn't help but said, "Why are you talking to me? I'm your mother!"

Stick also looked disdainful, yelling: "I'm telling the truth! It's because you're incompetent!"

"Look at what other people's children in our yard eat?! Everyone eats white flour steamed buns! It's just me, who eats black corn buns every day! You still have the nerve to say that you are my mother, don't you think it's embarrassing? !"

Qin Huairu was completely stunned when he heard his son Banggun actually say that about her.

On the other hand, Mrs. Jia Zhang repeatedly praised what his grandson said: "Well said, awesome!"

Qin Huairu looked at BangGong's disdainful eyes and Jia Zhang's schadenfreude, feeling very wronged.

She didn't dare to continue the quarrel, otherwise, Jia Zhang would have to say even worse things.

Qin Huairu walked out of the house and stood at the door.

There were scattered snowflakes outside, and the snowflakes were circling and dancing in the air under the whistling shouts.

There is a thick layer of snow on the roofs of the houses in the courtyard.

The ground is also a vast expanse of whiteness.

Even the rack cart in the yard was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The stone steps that were originally sharp and angular, now covered with snow, look much more rounded.

If you are a person who is full of wine and food, and has no worries about food and clothing, you will definitely like it when you see such a scene.

But for Qin Huairu, who hadn't eaten, whose stomach was growling with hunger, and whose heart was pressed against his back, such a scene would only make her feel desolate.

The shout got into her collar, and Qin Huairu couldn't help tightening the padded jacket under her neck.

But it was useless.

This kind of padded jacket made of cotton is the warmest if it is new.

When worn out, the cotton wool inside will become harder and more porcelain, and the warmth retention will be greatly reduced when worn on the body.

Therefore, families with good conditions will sew new padded jackets every one or two years.

Continue with new cotton.

But Qin Huairu must not be included in this.

Her family has long been so poor that they can't even afford food. How can they have money to make new padded jackets?

Qin Huairu remembered that she had only made three padded jackets since she was a child.

One is that when she was young, before she was four or five years old, she always wore a floral padded jacket. When she grew taller, her mother would use cotton batting and floral cloth to tie a piece of her under it the next day.

Until the age of four or five, the shoulders of the original padded jacket were too narrow to fit.

Only then did Mother Qin refurbish her padded jacket, spread new cotton wool, and made a larger padded jacket.

When the padded jacket was first put on, the hem could reach the bend of five-year-old Qin Huairu's legs.

Another blue singlet was put on.

If the outer clothes are dirty, only the outer clothes are changed, and the inner cotton jacket does not need to be washed.

This padded jacket has been worn for five or six years, until Qin Huairu was 12 years old.

When Qin Huai lived in the countryside when he was a child, he naturally had to do farm work.

Go out to collect firewood, chop firewood, and herd cattle, nothing less.

If the clothes have been worn for a long time and are worn out, just put on a patch and continue to wear them.

When she first wore it, the padded jacket reached the crook of her legs, but as she grew older, the padded jacket became smaller every year.Gradually the padded jacket reached her buttocks and then her waist.

When Qin Huairu was 12 years old, this padded jacket could hardly cover her waist.

Seeing that the big pudding was stacked on top of the small pudding, Qin's mother made Qin Huairu a third quilted jacket.

While Qin's mother was sitting, Qin Huairu's father, Qin Shiren, was still complaining.

What does a girl doll grow up so fast, she can't wear clothes when she grows taller.

Anyway, when Qin Huairu was 13 years old, she had her third padded jacket.

This padded jacket accompanied Qin Huairu until she got married.

When she got married, Qin Huairu had a brand new red padded jacket.

At that time, Qin Huairu was holding a brand new red padded jacket, not to mention how happy she was.

I secretly feel that I really have vision.

I found a man who is capable and can make money, and I am glad that I broke up with Zou He in time to be able to be with such a man with such good conditions as Jia Dongxu.

She even fantasized that now that she married in the city, she would no longer need to wear a patched padded jacket?
Jia Dongxu will definitely buy himself new clothes.

She finally has a registered permanent residence in the city and is a city resident.

In the future, she will also wear the most fashionable and beautiful clothes like those women in the city.

No more suffering from the poor.

She even used scissors to cut the ragged padded jacket she had been wearing for several years before she got married.

Qin's mother felt distressed and annoyed at the same time, and said what was the purpose of cutting it off, it was fine to keep it for her to wear.

Qin Huairu didn't feel distressed at all.

She had had enough of this poor life.

Now that she was finally able to leave here and go to live a good life in the city, she didn't have the slightest nostalgia for it.

However, she never expected that life in this city was completely different from what she had imagined.

The red padded jacket made for her when she got married became her only padded jacket.

After so many years of marriage, there is only this one cotton jacket in winter. She has already worn it hard and board, and it is cold, but she still has to wear it.

Of course she had to wear it, this was her only padded jacket, if she didn't wear it, she would freeze to death in such cold weather.

Qin Huairu folded her arms and stood outside the door.

She was shivering from the cold, and her teeth were chattering slightly.

She came out in such cold weather, and no one at home came out to persuade her to go back.

Qin Huairu felt sour.

Is this the happy life she pursued even after breaking up with Zou He?

Qin Huairu sighed faintly.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of giggling in the backyard.

When Qin Huairu heard this voice, she immediately recognized that it was Qin Jingru's laughter.

Qin Huairu's heart was suddenly ignited with deep curiosity.

Tiptoed to the aisle.

Standing at the corner of the middle courtyard, she happened to be able to see the situation in front of Zou He's house in the backyard.

In this day and age, every family is not rich, and it is not easy to provide food and clothing. Other money will be saved if it can be saved, and they are not willing to spend it.

At this time in the countryside, most of them still use kerosene lamps, but the people in the city basically use lamps now.

However, every family is reluctant to use electricity, except for dinner at night, when they are turned on for a while, the lights are turned off as soon as they enter the bed.

And in the yard, they are not willing to install lights.

But at the door of Zou He's house, there was a lamp installed on the door frame.

Now at night, the doorways of other people's houses are pitch-black and dim, only the doorway of Zou He's house is lit with orange lights.

An orange halo shrouded the door, looking very warm.

It is cold winter now, the roofs are covered with thick snow, and there are long ice skates hanging from the eaves of the tile-roofed houses.

Like pillars made of thick and sharp crystals, they look crystal clear and very beautiful.

At this time, Zou He was holding Jinlong high and asked him to reach the ice skates under the eaves with his hands.

Jin Long smiled happily and said, "Father, a little taller! A little taller! It's almost there!"

Zou He used both hands to lift the golden dragon above his head.

And Qin Jingru, Baofeng, stood in the yard, looking up.

Qin Jingru shouted worriedly: "Be careful, Jinlong, Hezi, you can hold on to him!"

But Baofeng was giggling at this moment, put his hands around his mouth, and shouted: "Brother, come on! Give me the biggest one!"

Jin Long smiled and agreed, then stretched out his hand vigorously, finally, he grabbed the ice skate and broke it hard with his hand, the ice skate made a crisp sound, and Jin Long held it in his hand.

After a while, two ice skates were broken off.

When Baofeng saw that his brother had it in his hand, he jumped up and down happily.

"Oh! That's great! My brother is amazing!"

Zou He put Jinlong on the ground, and Baofeng immediately ran over. Jinlong put the two ice skates he had picked up in his hands and said, "Sister, you choose first, which one do you want?"

Baofeng tilted his head, thought for a while, took one and said with a smile: "I want this!"

This scene, seen by Qin Huairu who was hiding in the corner, immediately made her jealous and jealous.

They are all brothers and sisters, why does the elder brother love the younger sister so much, if there is something good, he knows to choose for the younger sister first.

But my sticks are not at all.

When there is something to eat at home, Bang Giao always stuffs it into his own mouth first. Xiao Dang and Huaihua are hungry and full every day, and follow Bang Giao's buttocks to pick up something to eat.

Why can't Stickyong treat his two younger sisters better like Jinlong!

Qin Huairu couldn't help sighing, feeling jealous in her heart.

I saw Jinlong and Baofeng each holding an ice skate, standing under the eaves and playing, giggling from time to time.

Zou He and Qin Jingru stood aside with smiles on their faces.

Zou He turned his head and saw some snowflakes falling on Qin Jingru's head, and gently brushed them off with his hands.

Qin Jingru smiled softly, touched Zou He's cheek with his hand, and said, "Hezi, are you cold? My hands are warm, let me warm you up!"

As he spoke, he put his tender little hands beside Zou He's face to keep him warm.

Zou He pulled her hand down with a smile, and said softly, "No need, I'm a big man with a very strong body, how could I be frozen. It's you, are you cold?"

Qin Jingru shook her head with a happy and shy face, and said, "You have to order this padded jacket for me this year. It's warm enough to wear, and it's not cold at all."

"Hezi, in fact, my padded jacket from last year can still be worn. I didn't wear it much last year, and it's still new."

After hearing this, Zou He smiled and scratched Qin Jingru's nose, and said, "Where is the old cotton-padded jacket from last year warm with a new one? Our family is not short of this money, of course my wife and children need to wear warm clothes." !"

When Qin Jingru heard what Zou He said, a sweet smile appeared on his face.

Leaning lightly on Zou He's shoulder.

And Qin Huairu, who was standing in the corner, looked at the happy scene of Zou He's family in front of him, and when he heard what Zou He said to Qin Jingru, he was so jealous that he almost went crazy.

She looked at the clothes Qin Jingru was wearing, which was a brand new red padded jacket.

The padded jacket looked soft and fluffy, and at first glance, it was the new padded jacket this year.It feels warm just looking at it.

Under the illumination of the orange light, Qin Jingru's face is as bright as a cloud, which is so beautiful.

The jealous light in Qin Huairu's eyes was shining.

Qin Jingru is not as good looking as herself!
Wearing this red padded jacket on her body, it will definitely look better!

Qin Huairu thought to herself.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew past, Qin Huairu shrank her neck coldly, and her heart became even more unbalanced.

Qin Jingru's padded jacket looks really warm!

Such a beautiful red padded jacket should have been worn by himself. ,
Qin Jingru, she snatched her own!
This kind of happy life, Zou He's love, and children's filial piety should all belong to him!
Qin Huairu has been standing in the corner, looking at Zou He and Qin Jingru's happy family.

Jinlong and Baofeng played ice skating for a while, Qin Jingru feared that they would freeze, so he urged the two children to go back to the house together.

After they entered the house, the lights outside the door naturally went out.

Qin Huairu was still standing in the corner in a daze.

The originally warm courtyard illuminated by the orange light immediately became cold and silent again.

Biting cold.

After standing for a while, she dragged her body, which was almost stiff from the cold, and moved back to her home.

At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu and others had already gone to sleep, and the lights in the room were also turned off.

The room was filled with the snoring of Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu who were on the bed in disgust, feeling extremely chilled.

When I sulked and went out, no one worried about myself.

She won't think about where she can go out alone in this winter.

Just sleep in your own sleep.

Sure enough, in this world, only you can feel sorry for yourself.
