Siheyuan: Lao Liu appears, everyone is confused

"Oh, isn't this Huairu from the old Qin family?"

"Huairu, do you still remember me?"

"Hey, remember."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I've been enjoying the good things in the city. Have you almost forgotten our Qinjia Village?"

"No way, am I back now?"

"You are in a terrible situation now. You are a worker in the city, eating public food..."

After riding in the bus all the way and getting off the bus when they arrived, Qin Huairu walked all the way towards Qinjia Village. On the way back to her parents' home, she met many people she knew.

The enthusiasm shown by the villagers put a lot of smiles on Qin Huairu's face.

In an instant, Qin Huairu felt that all her years of persistence and hard work were worth it.

Marrying into a courtyard house was the most correct decision she made in her life.

Fate was not kind to her. Before she could enjoy enough blessings after marrying into the city, she lost her husband early and became a widow. She also had to take care of her husband's funeral with a big belly.

Not long after Sophora japonica was born, her mother-in-law drove her to a job at the steel rolling mill. Not only did she have to go to work to earn money to support the family, but she also had to clean up and take care of the family's food, drink, and toilet. It was no exaggeration to call her the strongest cow in the courtyard. .

But at the same time, fate did not have a fatal hand.

After inheriting the job left by her husband Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu transformed into a glorious worker in the steel rolling mill.

Not only did he get public food, but he also changed his rural household registration to his current urban household registration, becoming a real city dweller.

When she returned to the village, everyone was very polite to her.

Qin Huairu enjoyed this feeling very much.

But Qin Huairu knew that her reputation in the village was not good before. Everyone was just polite and flattering on the surface, but secretly they might be arranging her secretly!

But Qin Huairu didn't care about this. As long as he didn't say it in front of her, it would be treated as if it never happened.

As for the reason why her reputation was not good before, it is very simple.

That is, since she got married, she has hardly helped her parents' family.

It is said that Qin Huairu cannot take back the water thrown out by a married daughter.

Originally, this was nothing. After all, Qin Huairu was not the only such person. Everyone had different choices. But the problem came from the years of famine.

During the famine years, Qin Huairu's natal family was also in trouble of running out of food, so Qin's father, who had never counted on his daughter and the Jia family, went to the city for the first time, hoping to borrow some life-saving food from his daughter.

But the problem is that life is not easy for the Jia family.

In order to retain the land and grain distribution in the village, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang did not transfer their rural household registration to the city. After the communeization in 1958, when the village could no longer distribute grain, the urban household registration policy has changed. Tighten up, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang have no choice but to transfer their rural household registration to urban household registration.

According to the household registration policy stipulated by the state, the child's household registration follows the mother's, so in the entire Jia family, only Jia Dongxu has an urban household registration, and only Jia Dongxu has a ration in the food book.

There was no food ration, and the village could not get food. Life for the Jia family suddenly became difficult.

Relying on buying food on the black market was not a problem, but disasters followed.

Food prices on the black market have skyrocketed, and food stamps have become even more difficult to obtain. At one point they rose to nearly sky-high prices.

If it weren't for the help of Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu, the Jia family might have faced the crisis of running out of food. But at this stage, Qin's father came to find him and naturally returned empty-handed.

Qin's father also knew that it was not easy for his daughter. He borrowed food to save her life!

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't hold on any longer and was about to starve to death, he wouldn't have asked for help.

Although the Jia family is in difficulty, it has not yet reached the point of running out of food. Even his daughter, including his own daughter, is not willing to lend him even one meal of rations.

This suddenly chilled Father Qin's heart.

After Qin's father returned home in vain, he did not publicize the matter. After all, it would be embarrassing to talk about it.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. The fact that Qin's father went to the city to borrow food from his daughter has long been spread, and everyone is envious.

Whether they had borrowed food or not, everyone would guess as soon as Qin's father came back.

The results that awaited were astonishing.

Some people gloated over the misfortune, while others sympathized and cursed Qin Huairu for being unfilial.

Although in the end, Qin's father and his family survived by chewing tree bark and helping each other with the villagers, the old Qin family, which was originally enviable, became a joke.

The more proud he is of his daughter who once married into the city, the more he will be slapped in the face.

During the famine years, the old Qin family and their daughter, Qin Huairu, had almost no contact with each other.

Qin's father and Qin's mother never went to the city to look for Qin Huairu's daughter. Qin Huairu asked someone to deliver several messages, but she never returned to her parents' home.

It wasn't until last year, when Qin Huairu went back to her parents' home with a heavy belly to cry that her father and mother knew that their uncle was gone. They softened their hearts and forgave Qin Huairu, their daughter, and got back together.

Next, as Qin Huairu entered the factory after giving birth and became a worker in the steel rolling mill, and her household registration was changed to an urban household registration, these things spread back to the village and caused a sensation.

Qin Huairu's reputation and image changed overnight.

No one has publicly mentioned the previous events, and the Lao Qin family has regained its "card".

Not long after.

As soon as Qin Huairu arrived home, she saw Qin Dashan's weathered figure hurriedly approaching.

Obviously, someone ran to inform him that he was returning to his parents' home.

"Huairu, why are you back? Is there something wrong?"

"father……"

Qin Huairu was a little embarrassed.

As soon as they met, her biological father asked her directly, as if she was going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Except for the Chinese New Year, every time she comes back, it's basically because she has something to do, otherwise she won't be seen.

"without……"

Originally, she wanted to talk about Qin Jingru's affairs, but now Qin Huairu didn't know what to say, and said vaguely: "Today is not a day off, I will come back and take a look."

When Qin Dashan saw this, he sighed.

How could he not understand his own daughter?

Qin Huairu's concealing look clearly meant that something was wrong.

"Just tell me if you have any questions and see how I can help."

When he said this, Qin Dashan felt no disappointment or depression.

He had already thought about what happened back then.

He understood the situation of the Jia family at that time, and it was not easy for his daughter, and it had been several years.

The key is that his daughter is now promising. Even if he doesn't expect to rely on her to enjoy some blessings when he gets old, Qin Dashan still has to think about his two sons.

After all, Qin Huairu is also the sister of his two sons, and she might be able to help him out in the future.

"Dad, actually when I come back this time..."

Seeing that Qin Dashan had reached this point, Qin Huairu immediately stopped hesitating and told the story about Shazhu and Qin Jingru.

"Jingru..."

Knowing that Qin Huairu came back for this matter, Qin Dashan was a little stunned, "She is only sixteen now, right?"

"Sixteen is not too young." Qin Huairu naturally knew what Qin Dashan was thinking, so she explained, "I just want to bring him over for a meeting and a blind date. It's up to you whether it will work or not! Even if they are right, it won't work." You don’t need to get married right away, you can definitely find a partner first.”

"Too."

Qin Dashan nodded.

If you really think about it, Qin Jingru is already quite old.

It's almost the end of the year.

When the year passed, Qin Jingru turned seventeen and was only one year away from eighteen.

Moreover, eighteen is the standard age for getting a marriage license, but if you wait until then to start, you will already be one step behind others.

The law stipulates that way, but in fact many people may not abide by it, especially in rural areas. Some people have already started to inquire and arrange these things.

The girl from the old Qin family is famous for her water spirit.

Qin Huairu was like this, and Qin Jingru was no exception.

Since the beginning of the year, people in the village and the neighboring village have begun to inquire about Qin Jingru and want to date her.

However, considering that Qin Jingru is still a little older, and her appearance and conditions are not bad, and she is not in a hurry to let her go, she feels like she is waiting for a price.

In addition, arranged marriages are not popular now. Qin Jingru herself did not like the people who came to her before, so she did not settle on them.

The main thing is that Qin Jingru has high standards and seems to want to marry in the city like Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu's appearance today can be said to be quite timely.

"This is a good thing! I'll call your third uncle and Jingru over."

The more he thought about it, the more Qin Dashan felt that this was a good thing. After leaving such words, he couldn't wait to walk out.

If this thing can be done, and with Qin Huairu's introduction and help, Qin Jingru can successfully find a good family in the city, then it will be a shameless thing to say it out.

Not only did Laosan's family have to thank him, but the people in the village also had to look at him differently.

My daughter finally did something good for the old Qin family.

Soon.

Qin Dahe, the third oldest member of the Qin family, and Qin Jingru, who were working in the fields to earn work points, were both found by Qin Dashan.

"sister!"

As soon as Qin Jingru, who was wearing twin ponytails, appeared, she ran forward excitedly and took Qin Huairu's arm.

At this time, although Qin Jingru's clothes were a bit old-fashioned and her trouser legs were still stained with dirt, she was dressed like a village girl.

But her whole person looked youthful and energetic.

She has a tender oval face, delicate facial features, big watery eyes, a small pout, and a face full of collagen... Even Qin Huairu couldn't help but envy her when she saw it.

Although she is incomparable to when she was young, she is now in her early thirties, and with years of hard work, she is already a woman, while Qin Jingru is only sixteen years old, and is still a full-fledged girl.

She is no longer the young girl she was before, but now a mother of three children.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu felt a little depressed.

"Jingru, third uncle!"

"Huairu, I heard that you want to introduce our Jingru to someone in the city?"

"Yes……"

Qin Huairu started talking quickly and gave some information about Si Zhu.

While Qin Jingru lowered her head shyly and Qin Dahe had a smile on his face, Qin Dashan couldn't help but frown.

If he remembered correctly, the steel rolling mill cook in his daughter's courtyard should be almost thirty years old now, right?

For a moment, something was wrong with the way Qin Dashan looked at his daughter. (End of chapter)
