Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 120 Regret!

At around six o'clock in the evening, at the home of brother Chen Shuying in Chenjiashan.

A middle-aged woman, about 50 to [-] years old, walked into the house with a bag of stick noodles, looked at her husband sitting on the kang drinking, thought of the news she had just heard at her father-in-law’s house, and scolded him with dissatisfaction. Said: "Drink! Drink! Drink! Chen Weimin! What else can you do besides drinking every day? Why did my old lady go blind and marry you, a wimp?"

Chen Weimin, who was drinking vigorously, heard his wife's complaints and asked him with a puzzled expression: "Zhang Dahua! Did you take some gunpowder? Didn't you just ask me to go to my father to get some food? Why don't you do this?" are you happy?"

Zhang Dahua heard Chen Weimin's rebuttal and thought about the fact that the fourth child of the Chen family went to the city to borrow food and got a job quota from Chen Shuying. This made her angrier and angry. She complained to Chen Weimin dissatisfiedly: "Chen Weimin! The day before yesterday. Dad asked you to go to the city to borrow food from Lao San, why don’t you go?”

"Why don't I want to go? The day before yesterday, my father asked me to go to the city to borrow food from Shuying. It was you who said in front of our father that there is a lot of work in the fields, so why should the fourth child go? Why is it being blamed on me now? Come up?" Chen Weimin felt baffled when he heard Zhang Dahua's scolding, and he refuted Zhang Dahua's words dissatisfied.

Zhang Dahua cared about scolding Chen Weimin, completely ignoring that she had made her own decision and rejected her father-in-law's request. Now that she heard Chen Weimin's rebuttal, she remembered what happened the day before yesterday.

Zhang Dahua felt extremely remorseful when he thought that his son lost the opportunity to work in the city because of his selfishness for a while. He patted his thigh regretfully and murmured to himself: "Why was I so obsessed with ghosts at that time, I didn't agree to it?" Our father's request caused our eldest son to lose the opportunity to enter the city."

Chen Weimin, who was looking depressed, was obviously stunned when he heard Zhang Dahua's words. He asked Zhang Dahua curiously: "Dahua! What did you just say? How did our boss lose the opportunity to enter the city?"

Hearing Chen Weimin's inquiry, Zhang Dahua recalled the news he had heard from the fourth daughter-in-law, and introduced regretfully: "The child's father! The situation is like this. Yesterday the fourth child took Xiaodong with him according to our father's orders. Go to Shuying's house in the city to borrow food."

"The fourth child was in Shuying's house, so he mentioned to Shuying about using Xiaoqin to exchange marriage with Liu Mazi's family. When the second child of Shuying's family heard the news, he immediately expressed his objection, and said that he would take Xiaoqin to him. Go to the city and find a job for Xiaoqin in the city."

"The fourth child learned that the second nephew had a job quota in his hand, so he promised not to exchange Xiaoqin's marriage, and asked the second nephew to give the job quota to Xiaodong. The fourth brother asked Liu Mazi this morning because Xiaodong had to go to the city to work. , said that he did not agree to exchange Xiaoqin for marriage, but was willing to pay five yuan as a gift to marry Liu Mazi's daughter."

"Liu Mazi disagreed. At the door of our father's house, he quarreled with the fourth child. In the end, the marriage of the two families was called off. But based on my understanding of the fourth child, the fourth child should be because Xiaodong is going to work in the city. I can't see it. The girl who went to Liu Mazi's house deliberately provoked Liu Mazi with those words, and made Liu Mazi volunteer to regret the marriage."

When Chen Weimin heard Zhang Dahua's introduction, he hurriedly got off the kang and put on his shoes, and said to Zhang Dahua, "Dahua! Clean up the table, and I'll go to see Dad."

When Chen Weimin came to the house where his father lived, all the members of the Chen family were gathered together. Chen Weimin saw Lin Weiguo who was drinking in front of a chair, and asked Chen Weiguo with a smile, "Fourth! I heard from your sister-in-law that patriotism is for your family. Xiaodong found a job in the city, is it true?"

When Chen Weiguo heard Chen Weimin's inquiry, he nodded happily and replied: "Brother! This is absolutely true. When I came back, Aiguo told me that if there is a chance in the future, he will make arrangements for every family in the city. I believe it won’t take many times for a job, and Xiaomatsu will definitely be able to work in the city.”

At around six o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Wu Aiguo saw that he was idle at home with nothing to do, so he rode his bicycle and left the courtyard.

"Patriot! Why are you here?" At around seven o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo came to the door of Qin Huairu's house. Qin Huairu, who was finishing his meal in the house, saw Wu Aiguo's arrival and asked Wu Aiguo in surprise. .

Wu Aiguo saw Qin Huairu eating and asked Qin Huairu curiously: "Sister Qin! Why did you eat so late?"

Qin Huairu heard Wu Aiguo's question, and replied with a smile: "I went back to Qin's Village this morning, and the car broke down on the way back, that's why I came back so late."

Wu Aiguo heard Qin Huairu's introduction and thought of Qin Huairu's work in the food factory. He smiled and asked Qin Huairu: "Sister Qin! Are you still used to working in a food factory?"

When Qin Huairu heard Wu Aiguo's question, she nodded with a smile and replied, "Patriotic! Director Zhao has greeted the workshop director, and the big sisters in the workshop have taken good care of me. Now I can process products independently. .”

Hearing what Qin Huairu introduced, Wu Aiguo thought of the purpose of his coming tonight, and said to Qin Huairu with a smile: "Sister Qin! I'm going to Baoding on a business trip on Monday, and I probably won't be back until a few days later, so I'll come over to chat with you call."

When Qin Huairu learned that Wu Aiguo requested a business trip, he did not forget to tell Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! Be careful on the road!"

When Qin Huairu said this, he suddenly remembered the life in Jia's house, and quickly asked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! After I divorced Jia Dongxu, how is the life of the stick?"

Wu Aiguo heard Qin Huairu ask about the recent situation of the stick, thought of the scene he saw the stick in the middle courtyard yesterday, and replied with a smile: "It's not like you don't know how much Jia Zhang loves the stick, how could she Will you treat the stick badly?"

Qin Huairu heard the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo and thought of Jia Zhang's doting on Banggeng, and then she felt relieved.

As a mother, her children are Qin Huairu's heart, otherwise she would not have run back to Qinjia Village today.

Thinking of the stick that I haven't seen for a few days, Qin Huairu said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! I want to go to the courtyard to see the stick tomorrow quietly, can you help me make an appointment with the stick?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's plea, Wu Aiguo replied with a smile: "Okay! If I see a stick tomorrow morning, let him wait for you at the gate of the yard."

Qin Huairu heard Wu Aiguo's answer, remembered the news that Wu Aiguo was going on a business trip the day after tomorrow, and thought that he would not be able to see Wu Aiguo in the next few days, Qin Huairu put down the chopsticks in his hand, closed the door of the house directly, turned around and threw himself into Wu Aiguo's arms , Said softly: "Patriotic! I miss you."

When Wu Aiguo heard Qin Huairu's words, he immediately hugged Qin Huairu by the waist and walked towards the house.
