Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 172 Qin Huairu Feels Lost

  Many people work faster.

   Even so, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon before we had dinner.

  The table is very rich and the amount is sufficient.

  Chicken, fish, bacon, vegetables and other eight or nine dishes, plus white flour steamed buns.

   There are a lot of steamed buns today, enough.

  In order to let Qin Dingguo, Liang Laosan and others eat more food, Jiang Pingan did not persuade them to drink.

   Everyone ate a meal heartily, and their mouths were full of oil.

  I ate up all the meals I made for lunch, not even the soup left.

   "This is the taste of the New Year, this is what you should eat during the Chinese New Year!"

   Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Liang Laosan sighed.

  In the past, no matter how difficult the countryside was, you could still eat meat and white flour steamed buns during the Chinese New Year.

  In the past one or two years, let alone meat, I have eaten steamed buns, and I can’t even eat enough buns.

  Liang Ladi reminded in a low voice: "Dad, this is the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's talk about something happy."

   "Uh... good! good! good!" Liang Laosan came back to his senses, and hurriedly said:

   "I'm sorry, on this beautiful day, I really shouldn't say such depressing words!"

  Qin Dingguo shook his head and said: "Old Liang, what you said is the truth, what is life like now?"

   "But what Ladi said is right, today is Chinese New Year, so I won't talk about it."

   Full of wine and food, everyone sat and chatted for a while, and then dispersed.

   After cleaning up the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, Liang Ladi left in no hurry.

  Sit down and talk with Jiang Pingan and Qin Jingru around the table.

  The three Da Mao brothers disappeared in a flash, and Xiu'er was also taken away by Aunt Liang.

   "Ping An, when did you go back?" Liang Ladi asked with a smile.

  Jiang Ping'an replied: "How about the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, how about you?"

   "I'm afraid I have to leave in the morning of the third day." Liang Ladi replied.

  Qin Jingru said: "Brother, is the rolling mill and the machine repair factory far away?"

   "It's quite far, the machine repair shop is in the suburbs." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

  Liang Ladi smiled and said: "Jingru, if you are free in the future, you can come and play with me."

   "Okay, I've wanted to go to the city for a long time." Qin Jingru said with bright eyes.

  Jiang Pingan smiled and said: "Find a chance, and I will take you to live in the city for a few days."

   "Work is more important." Qin Jingru pursed her lips.

   "I'm in the country now, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and my life is no worse than that of people in the city."

  Liang Ladi nodded and said: "This is not a lie."

   "Anyway, people in the city now, I haven't heard of any family that eats fine grains every day."

  Qin Jingru nodded and said, "That's why I'm not in a hurry to go to the city, or I'll pretend to be poor."

   "Sister Ladi, you don't know that the people in Ping'an's yard are all bad..."

   "..."

  After listening to Qin Jingru's narration, Liang Ladi asked Jiang Pingan:

   "Does your courtyard house have bad Fengshui? Why are there so many..."

   In the end, she didn't know how to describe it.

   Then, she complained again: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

   "Why are you telling me this? Could it be that you can stand up for me?" Jiang Ping'an laughed.

  Liang Ladi snorted, raised her head and said, "Don't think I'm a womanizer."

   "But whether it's quarrels or fights, I'm not afraid of anyone!"

  Speaking, she turned her head and said to Qin Jingru with a smile:

   "Jingru, you don't know, I just arrived at the workshop."

   "Some men want to take advantage of me when they see how pretty I am."

   "Huh, guess what? I'll point the oil gun at them and light it!"

   "After scaring them a few times, they don't dare to mess with me anymore."

  Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

   "You are a woman, you are fighting with others, what should you do if there is an accident?"

   "It's my fault too, I should have greeted Lao Cui and the others earlier."

  Liang Ladi shook her head and said with a dry smile: "Don't be angry, this matter is over."

   "Besides, your relationships don't need to be used in these areas."

   "Actually, it's not that big of a deal."

   "There are so many people staring at the factory, what accident can happen?"

   "Besides, the factory leaders treat me well now, and no one dares to think of me."

   After talking for a while, Liang Ladi said goodbye and left.

  She returned to her hometown this time mainly because she wanted to spend more time with her parents.

   After all, she usually has to go to work, and she doesn't have many chances to come back throughout the year.

   "Brother...you..."

   "Let's leave you, business matters!"

   "Uh...then you slow down..."

   "..."

   After the fact.

   "My cousin will cook noodles again when she comes back later." Qin Jingru complained.

  She was still reluctant to give food to Qin Huairu.

  Since Qin Huairu returned to her hometown last time, Qin Jingru began to hate her.

  My good deed was almost messed up by her, and she will remember it for a lifetime.

  Jiang Pingan smoked a cigarette, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her:

   "Don't keep thinking about it, even if she eats with her stomach open, how much can she eat?"

   "Anyway, it's not these few days. When you return to the city, you will be out of sight and out of mind!"

  Qin Jingru sighed, nodded and said: "Well, I can only think so."

   "You have agreed, and I will complain the most, so I won't embarrass you."

   While talking, Jiang Pingan moved his ears and reminded:

   "Your sister is back, let's get up!"

   "Oh! It's so annoying, it's her again, so annoying!" Qin Jingru said anxiously.

  Every time I want to make more intimacy with Jiang Pingan, Qin Huairu always interrupts.

  After several experiences, Qin Jingru naturally hated Qin Huairu.

  Although she was swearing, she still got up quickly and waited for Jiang Pingan to get dressed.

   "I'm here on my own, and it's not that I don't have long hands." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

  Qin Jingru smiled and said: "No, I just love to dress you."

   "Quick, lift your feet first, lift your left leg, and spread your hands, yes, that's it, hee hee..."

  The two of them did not rush, after tidying up, Qin Huairu arrived as soon as they came out of the room.

   "Is it settled?" Jiang Ping'an asked with a smile.

  Qin Huairu sighed, nodded, shook his head again, and said:

   "I'm neither hot nor cold, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to welcome me."

   "I've also figured it out now, a married daughter is a wave of water."

   "These relatives haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's inevitable that they are unfamiliar."

   "I won't tell you, I just ate a steamed bun at noon."

   "I almost got stuck, I'll cook a bowl of noodles to deal with it."

   As he said that, he went to the kitchen with a tired face and lit a fire to cook.

   "Look, this is my home." Qin Jingru pouted.

   "I don't care anyway, you are not allowed to allow her to come to our house for dinner again."

  Jiang Pingan glanced at her sideways, and said angrily:

   "What's the matter? It doesn't work anymore, old man?"

   "Oh! Well, you have the final say! I don't care, okay?" Qin Jingru said coquettishly.

  Jiang Pingan smiled, nodded and said, "It's not too bad!"

  The two came to the kitchen, Qin Huairu was lighting a fire, and asked casually:

   "What did you have for lunch?"

  Jiang Pingan hadn't answered yet, Qin Jingru had a smirk on his face, and hurriedly replied:

   "It's delicious, there are spicy chicken, braised carp, fried bacon with garlic sprouts..."

  Qin Huairu slowly raised his head, swallowed, and said:

   "There are so many delicious foods, I am at a loss, I would have come back with you if I knew it!"

  This is chicken, fish, and meat. Just thinking about it makes people drool.

  She should have thought about it a long time ago. Jiang Ping'an came back, and it was impossible to come back empty-handed.

   It's Chinese New Year again, he will definitely bring back a lot of delicious food.
