Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Zhaojiatun is quite far from Qinjiacun, and it takes several hours to go back and forth.

But it is not yet nine o'clock, so Lin Shaowen has plenty of time.

The Zhang brothers drove the donkey cart.

Lin Shaowen sat in the cart, with an iron basin in front of him, and the charcoal in the basin was burning vigorously.

"Tiedan, when are you getting married?"

"Little doctor, it's still early."

Zhang Tiedan blushed immediately.

"Do you have a partner?" Lin Shaowen smiled.

"Yes, we have met several times, and we just need to set a date." Zhang Tieshuan sighed.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"The girl wants Tiedan to fix the house before she is willing to marry me." Zhang Tieshuan looked at his brother with a complicated look in his eyes. "The last time he went to the free clinic with you, he gave all the money he got to his brother."

"My brother is having a hard time too." Zhang Tiedan said unconvincedly. "They are all married now. It's not good to live with my uncle all the time."

"Then is it good for you to live with me?" Zhang Tieshuan said angrily. "You are not a child anymore. The secretary knew that the young doctor gave you money and specially approved the land for you to fix the house. You..."

He grew up in Zhaojiatun with Zhang Tiedan since he was a child. In fact, he did not have much affection for his two brothers in Lijia Village. But this younger brother is his lifeblood.

"How much does it cost to fix the house? I will lend it to you." Lin Shaowen handed them two cigarettes.

"You can't do that." Zhang Tiedan and Zhang Tieshuan shook their heads at the same time.

"You gave us so much money last time, which has helped us a lot. Otherwise, I couldn't have repaired the house." Zhang Tieshuan said anxiously, "Actually, I just said that. I'm still worried about Tiedan moving out of the family."

"That's not the case." Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "You brothers are in harmony, but sisters-in-law will eventually have conflicts after spending a long time together... Tell me how much money you want, I'll lend it to you, and you can pay me back when you have enough."

The Zhang brothers didn't say anything.

"I treat you all as friends, and friends share money." Lin Shaowen patted Zhang Tieshuan on the shoulder.

"Forty yuan is enough to repair a small house." Zhang Tieshuan said with a red face.

"Okay." Lin Shaowen took out five big unity notes and handed them to Zhang Tieshuan, "Tieshuan, Tiedan is soft-hearted, you have to watch out for him and find someone to help him repair the house."

"Hey." Zhang Tieshuan took the money and said hurriedly, "When we get to Qinjia Village, I'll write you an IOU, and the two brothers will slowly pay you back the money."

"Okay." Lin Shaowen smiled and nodded.

"Little doctor, I'm causing you trouble again." Zhang Tiedan said embarrassedly.

Lin Shaowen smiled and said nothing.

At noon.

Qin Huairu, who was lying in the room, got up immediately after hearing the donkey's cry, and went to the window to look. When she saw Lin Shaowen, she felt her heart stop.

She thought she would see Lin Shaowen only after giving birth. After all, the free clinic team had just come to Qinjia Village some time ago and would definitely not come again in a short time.

"Shaowen? Why are you here?" Qin's mother shouted in surprise.

"Auntie Qin." Lin Shaowen smiled, "Didn't the factory ask me to visit Qin Huairu? Where is she?"

"She's lying in the room. These two are..." Mother Qin hesitated.

"Oh, they are my friends. They sent me here." Lin Shaowen took the bag from Zhang Tiedan and smiled, "Please greet them for me. I'll go see Qin Huairu."

"Okay, okay, you go see her. Her sister-in-law is in the room." Mother Qin's last sentence was for Zhang Tiedan and the others.

In fact, Qin Huairu was the only one in the room.

As soon as Lin Shaowen opened the curtain, he was hugged by someone.

"Missed me?" Lin Shaowen smiled.

"Yeah, yeah."

Qin Huairu nodded vigorously and then put her mouth on him.

The two of them were affectionate for a while before sitting on the kang.

After Qin Huairu opened the bag brought by Lin Shaowen, she covered her mouth with surprise. There was a scarf, a hat and a military coat inside. You can tell from the material that it is not cheap.

"Try it." Lin Shaowen smiled.

"Yes."

Qin Huairu climbed down from the bed carefully and put on the military coat.

Although her belly was big, the military coat was even bigger, almost covering her whole body.

"Do you like it?" Lin Shaowen asked.

"I like it." Qin Huairu hugged him and kissed him hard, "Are there any interesting things in the courtyard recently?"

"Xu Damao got married, Qin Peiru gave birth to a child, and... the third aunt who just went out had a fight with Jia Zhang." Lin Shaowen said happily, "Which one do you want to hear first?"

"The third aunt and Jia Zhang had a fight." Qin Huairu said without hesitation.

"I said I came to comfort you, thenLater, you got tuberculosis and you might not be able to go back, so they fought for the house. "Lin Shaowen spread his hands.

"You are so bad." Qin Huairu said coquettishly.

"Qin Peiru gave birth to a daughter." Lin Shaowen said in a deep voice.

Qin Huairu was slightly stunned, and then sighed.

She stayed in the Jia family for seven years and knew the personalities of Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu too well. Qin Peiru's life would definitely not be easy in the future.

The two hugged each other and talked for a while.

Then they heard someone shouting outside the door, "Little doctor, we should go back, it's getting dark now."

"Okay, I'm here." Lin Shaowen touched Qin Huairu's face and smiled, "I have to go, I'll see you next time. "

"Shao Wen..."

Qin Huairu hugged him tightly, very reluctant to leave.

The Qin family treated her like a queen, and didn't want her to do anything. The most she did every day was to lie down and recall the sweet time with Lin Shaowen.

Now, after meeting him, he was leaving again within an hour.

"If you want to go back to the city, follow your elder brother." Lin Shaowen said softly.

"No, it would be bad if someone found out." Qin Huairu shook her head.

"Then I'm leaving."

Lin Shaowen rubbed her head and walked out.

"You're leaving before you even have a cup of tea?" Qin Shan frowned.

"Uncle Qin, there'll be a chance next time." Lin Shaowen handed him a cigarette.

"Section Chief Lin is a man who does big things. Do you think he's the same as you, an old man? "Mother Qin rolled her eyes, and took Lin Shaowen's hand and said, "It's cold now, you have to wear more clothes, don't take it lightly just because you are young and healthy..."

Zhang Tiedan and Zhang Tieshuan looked at each other and felt something was strange.

Why did this old lady look at the young doctor as if she was looking at her son.

"Cough cough cough."

Qin Shan coughed twice, and then Mother Qin realized that she seemed too enthusiastic.

"Chief Lin, thank you for visiting my Huairu, and thank the factory leaders for their concern for Huairu on my behalf." Mother Qin said seriously.

"Well, I will convey it. It's cold outside, Aunt Qin, you can go back." After Lin Shaowen got on the donkey cart, he waved to her.

Qin Huairu hid in front of the window and watched the donkey cart go away.

Unconsciously, tears blurred her eyes.

I really miss the days when they were together.
