Chapter 469
In the quadrangle, in the east wing of the front yard, Wang Zhong was wearing an apron and standing in front of the stove. Qin Jingru was also standing beside him, helping Wang Zhong while accepting Wang Zhong's instructions.

"The heat of frying fish is very important, and turning it over is also important... Once both sides of the fish are fried like this, it's almost ready. You can add water, but you must use boiled water..."

While Wang Zhong was sitting, he explained all the details and key points one by one. Qin Jingru did not dare to slack off at all and listened very carefully.

It's just that cooking, in addition to talent, is also inseparable from hard work. Just like the old man in the oil seller, the more you cook, the more skillful you will become, and you will eventually master it.

Qin Jingru has some talent and cooks a lot at home, but in this day and age, it's good to be able to fill her stomach. Even if you have time and effort, there are no raw materials for you to hone your cooking skills.

Even the oil used for cooking is extremely scarce, and the cooked dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor.

Fortunately, Qin Jingru is willing to study hard and study seriously.

"Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat without adding any other seasonings."

"Do you remember?"

"remember!"

The process of making crucian carp and tofu soup is not complicated. As long as you remember the steps, it is not difficult to reproduce. However, if you want to achieve the same taste as Wang Zhong, it still takes time to hone it.

"My ancestral home is Hunan, and my mother is also from Hunan. Although I grew up in Qilu when I was a child, my mother's influence has made my taste more inclined to Sichuan and Hunan. Today I will teach you another famous traditional Sichuan dish - Mapo. Tofu!"

In fact, making Mapo Tofu is not difficult. The key is to control the ingredients and heat. Qin Jingru is a native of Peiping and is not used to spicy food. Wang Zhong naturally reduced the spiciness of Mapo Tofu a lot. .

More than half an hour later, the two dishes were brought to the table one after another. The Northeast rice that Wang Zhong asked Qin Jingru to steam was also cooked and was brought to the table.

“Mapo tofu and crucian carp soup are delicious with rice.”

After saying that, Wang Zhong directed Qin Jingru to pickled pickled radish from the jar and made a small bowl of spicy oil as a dipping sauce.

After dinner, Wang Zhong leaned leisurely on the lounge chair by the fire, while Qin Jingru put on an apron. She first put away the dishes, wiped the table, spread the tablecloth, and then ran to the kitchen, washed the dishes and pots, and tidied up the kitchen. Clean up the battlefield.

Qin Jingru works quickly and is no worse than Qin Huairu.

Wang Zhong was quite satisfied with this.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Qin Jingru had no intention of leaving. She picked up the feather duster and rag and started cleaning up the whole room.

"Okay, stop working!" Wang Zhong put down the book and interrupted Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru stopped what she was doing, held the feather duster, and looked at Wang Zhong with some anxiety, thinking that she had done something wrong.

Without thinking, Wang Zhong pointed to the small stool next to him and said, "Bring a chair over here and sit for a while!"

Although Qin Jingru didn't know what Wang Zhong wanted to do, she firmly remembered Wang Zhong's condition that her cousin said - be obedient!
He moved a small stool and sat next to the lounge chair, next to Wang Zhong's left hand.

"Put your hand out and let me see!"

Qin Jingru didn't know why, but still did it.

"flip over!"

Qin Jingru still did as he was told.

Wang Zhong nodded and said, "It seems that I usually do a lot of work at home!"

Qin Jingru said hurriedly: "I am very diligent at home. When the farming is busy, I still work in the fields during the day. There is no idle time all day long."

"I also come from a rural area. Although life in rural areas is difficult now, compared with the previous years when natural disasters occurred, it is still much better!"

Thinking of the three years of natural disasters, Qin Jingru's pupils suddenly shrank, and a lingering fear flashed in her eyes.

"People in our village almost starved to death." Qin Jingru said with some fear.

"Fortunately, it's all over!" Wang Zhong said: "The days will get better and better in the future."

Wang Zhong was too strong, and Qin Jingru felt a little awkward in front of him, but she sat there without saying a word and became even more confused. "Brother Wang Zhong, when we came back just now, was that Teacher Ran talking to Master He who is next door to Sister Qin's house?"

"That's right!" Wang Zhong nodded.

"Then what happened to Master He's nemesis that you told Teacher Ran just now?"

"Xu Damao in the backyard is not a very good character, but he is very rich in the city. He is the most glib and glib. He tells lies when he opens his mouth. A simple and scheming girl like you will probably be deceived by him in just two words. He will make you cripple you." After selling it, he asked you to count the money for him!"

"How can I be that stupid!" Seeing Wang Zhong making fun of herself, Qin Jingru was not unhappy at all, but actually felt a little happy.

Wang Zhong looked into Qin Jingru's eyes and suddenly said: "I like stupid ones!"

Qin Jingru was stunned by what Wang Zhong said and quickly changed her words: "Actually, since I was a child, my parents have always said that I am stupid and asked me to learn more from my cousin."

He was afraid that he would speak too slowly and leave a bad impression on Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhongdao: "I don't like others to lie, especially the person who will live with me in the future!"

"Brother Wang Zhong, I...Although I have lied before, it was to others. I will never lie to you...to you!"

Qin Jingru was a little anxious.

Wang Zhong said, "I believe you. It's getting late. You should go back first. After all, we haven't confirmed our relationship yet. It's fine for you to stay here during the day, but at night, you and I are alone." , being in the same room, it is inevitable that those who are jealous of my good life will talk privately."

"I'm a grown man and it doesn't matter, but you, a young lady, can't ruin your reputation."

After hearing Wang Zhong's words, Qin Jingru didn't feel there was anything wrong at all. On the contrary,

"Brother Wang Chong, you are so good to me!" People who fall in love, regardless of gender, will have a linear decline in IQ, and now Qin Jingru is a girl who prefers simplicity and has no scheming.

"It's getting late. You should go back quickly. Remember to come over for breakfast tomorrow."

"Yeah, yeah!" Qin Jingru nodded happily and said goodbye to Wang Zhong: "Then I'll leave first!"

In the middle courtyard, at Lao He's house, brother and sister He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye were sitting around the table. The stove next to them was burning brightly and the room was warm.

Before meeting Ran Qiuye, although He Yuzhu's house was not dirty, it could not be called clean and tidy. If Qin Huairu and his sister He Yuzhu hadn't helped him tidy up every day, washed his clothes, and regularly unpacked and washed his quilt, what would it be like now? The main room in the huge middle courtyard is absolutely no different from a doghouse.

"By the way, when I came over just now, I met Wang Zhongli in the front yard at the door. He told me to be careful. He said that you have a sworn enemy in your yard. He has not dealt with you since he was a child. He is afraid that something will happen. Make trouble out of it!"

"Wang Zhong is talking about Xu Damao's grandson, right!" When he mentioned Xu Damao, Si Zhu became furious: "What Wang Zhong said is really right. That grandson had a conflict with me. From the moment he was beaten by me to Big, he’s not very good at fighting, but he has a lot of evil ideas. The key is that this grandson doesn’t learn well and always doesn’t do human affairs...”

For Xu Damao, Silly Zhu didn't have a good impression at all.

He Yuyu couldn't help but said: "Sister Qiuye, this Xu Damao is not a good person. He is full of bad intentions and likes to use dirty tricks behind his back. Moreover, he has never dealt with my brother. If he tells you about my brother's Don’t believe any bad words.”

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid to be led around by someone's words..." Before Ran Qiuye could finish her words, she remembered the last time she almost misunderstood He Yuzhu.

Looking at He Yuyu, Ran Qiuye suddenly remembered that it seemed that Yuyu was chasing Wang Zhong in the front yard. But thinking of the scene he saw in the afternoon, he couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion: "Yuyu, what's going on between you and Wang Zhong?" Son, when I came here just now, I happened to see him driving Jia Gen’s cousin back from the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and he said he was on a blind date?"

Hearing this, Yu Yu couldn't help but look gloomy and felt a little depressed: "Is he going on a blind date with Qin Jingru, or he took the initiative to introduce me to Sister Qin next door."

Ran Qiuye's eyes widened and she looked at He Yuyu with some disbelief: "What about you?" He Yuyu lowered his head and took hold of the steamed bun in his hand, "He said that he always only regarded me as his sister and had never considered having sex with me. object."

He Yuzhu next to him also sighed and said helplessly: "That boy Wang Zhong... ugh!"

If it were anyone else, He Yuzhu would have started complaining a long time ago, but Wang Zhong not only helped Yu Yu introduce the job, but also helped him win back Ran Qiuye. No matter how supercilious He Yuzhu is, he can't do such unmanly things as scolding Wang Zhong behind his back. .

And it's not like He Yuzhu has never looked for Wang Zhong for the sake of his sister.

Ran Qiuye also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and said calmly: "You are so beautiful and you have a good job. It is Wang Zhong's loss that he didn't like you!"

He Yuyu looked gloomy and even lost his appetite.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask Ran Qiuye: "Comrade Qiuye, how about you introduce someone to our Yuyu?"

······
Naturally, Xu Damao didn't know that Ran Qiuye had been vaccinated three times. If He Yuzhu and He Yuyu were brothers and sisters, they might still tell lies, but there was no need for Wang Zhong to slander another person in the same courtyard for He Yuzhu.

The next morning, Qin Jingru arrived at Wang Zhong's house early in the morning, just in time for Wang Zhong to go out for morning exercises. Qin Jingru stayed at Wang Zhong's house and cooked breakfast skillfully.

Porridge made from millet, steamed buns made from white flour, and the side dishes are fermented bean curd, kimchi and a plate of fried cabbage.

When Wang Zhong came back, Qin Jingru had already prepared the food.

"Brother Wang Zhong, try my craftsmanship!" Qin Jingru had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks, and Wang Zhong's bowl was filled with more than half a bowl of millet porridge.

Wang Zhong picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks, tasted it, nodded and said, "Not bad, but the heat is a little too high, and it's a little slow to cook."

"Don't just watch me eat, you eat too!" Wang Zhong saw Qin Jingru staring at him and hurriedly invited her to eat together.

"I'll improve next time!" Qin Jingru scooped up a spoonful of millet porridge with a spoon and took a sip with a smile on her face.

"There are several glass jars on the bottom shelf of the cupboard. The one on the outside is opened. Take it out!"

Wang Zhong was sitting on the stool. Qin Jingru just took a sip of porridge, then quickly got up, walked to the cupboard, squatted down, rummaged for a while, and then picked up a glass jar: "Is this the bottle?"

"That's right, this is the bottle! Bring me a spoon."

"What is this?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Beef sauce, used to dip the steamed buns!"

Qin Jingru opened the lid curiously, brought it to her nose and smelled it. Instantly, a strong aroma poured into her mouth and nose, and her eyes lit up.

"It smells so good!" Qin Jingru said with a face of surprise.

"It tastes better."

Wang Zhong first broke the steamed bun in half, took the spoon handed by Qin Jingru, scooped out half a spoonful, and spread it evenly on the steamed bun, then closed the steamed bun again and handed it to Qin Jingru.

“Try it and see how it tastes!”

Qin Jingru's pupils suddenly shrank, her eyes widened, and she looked at Wang Zhong in disbelief: "You gave it to me?"

Wang Zhong nodded and said: "Try it!"

Qin Jingru quickly stretched out her hand to take the bun, opened her mouth and took a bite.

This is Wang Zhong's special beef sauce. It is fragrant but not spicy, and is suitable for both north and south.

After taking one bite, then the second, and then the third, until her mouth was filled to the brim, her previous reserved image of a lady was completely gone. Qin Jingru suddenly came back to her senses, she immediately lowered her head in shame, and hurriedly Chew quickly and then explain: "Brother Wang Zhong, this beef sauce is so delicious!"

Let alone beef, it is pork. Qin Jingru has lived for 20 years and has not eaten much.

"If it's delicious, eat more!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, but his movements of smearing beef sauce on the steamed buns did not slow down at all because of his words.

During lunch, Qin Jingru was responsible for washing and picking vegetables, while Wang Zhong cut vegetables and cooked.

The same goes for dinner.

It was the seventh day of the lunar month. Early in the morning, Qin Huairu had just climbed out of bed and was preparing breakfast for the family. When she saw Qin Jingru getting up next to her, she quickly put on her sweater and cotton-padded jacket.

"Hold on tight, tomorrow is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and it's time to go to work in the factory the day after tomorrow." Qin Huairu kindly reminded Qin Jingru.

"Cousin!" Qin Jingru said confidently, "Through my observations over the past few days, I feel that Brother Wang Zhong also likes me."

"Don't be too happy too early. Wang Zhong is different from other men!" Qin Huairu was afraid that before Qin Jingru could capture Wang Zhong, she would fall into it first and be unable to get out. Wouldn't it be like a bamboo basket? All in vain.

"Cousin, do you have so little confidence in me?" After a few days of getting along, Qin Jingru became more and more comfortable staying at Wang Zhong's house, and she also enjoyed getting along with Wang Zhong.

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru who was full of confidence, shook her head and said nothing more.

In the evening, after dinner, Qin Jingru remembered what Qin Huairu said in the morning about going to work in the factory the day after tomorrow, and couldn't help but ask Wang Zhong about it.

Wang Zhong nodded and said, "It's true that I have to go to work the day after tomorrow. What's wrong?"

Qin Jingru hesitated for a while, lowered her head, pinched her fingers, and looked away, but after thinking about it, she still raised her head, looked into Wang Zhong's eyes, and asked: "You went to work, what should I do? "

The look that was a little uneasy at first became more determined.

"Have you thought about it?" Wang Zhong did not directly answer Qin Jingru's question, but instead raised a new question.

Although Qin Jingru was simple, she was not a fool. She naturally knew what Wang Zhong was asking, and immediately nodded and said: "I've thought about it, I like you, and I want to marry you!"

With the previous initiative, speaking these words was much less relaxed and less entangled.

Wang Zhong looked into Qin Jingru's eyes and asked, "Have you decided?"

Qin Jingru's eyes became firmer, she clenched her fists with both hands, nodded heavily and said, "It's decided!"

Wang Zhong continued to ask: "Do you still remember my conditions?"

Her eyes flickered for a moment, but then she immediately regained her composure. Looking at each other, Qin Jingru shook her lips and said seriously: "Remember, I will listen to you all my life. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Wang Zhong said: "Come here early tomorrow. I will take you to the department store to buy new clothes. Who else is there in your family?"

Qin Jingru said: "Grandpa, grandma, parents, two brothers, one sister, and another sister who got married three years ago."

"Both of your brothers are married?"

Qin Jingru said: "Well! The eldest brother has two children, and the second sister-in-law just gave birth to a daughter for the second brother last year."

In these years, life has been difficult for everyone. Although the old Qin family is not a wealthy family, their life is not bad, especially Qin Huairu, a relative who married into the city. Although they did not get much benefits before, But outsiders don't know this.

"Tell your cousin tonight that I will go to Qinjiagou with you tomorrow to meet your parents and settle things between us. We will come in the afternoon. I will go to the factory to invite some people the day after tomorrow. God, get it done."

Qin Jingru's eyes widened immediately, her mind went blank, she looked at Wang Zhong blankly, and was stunned by this sudden surprise.
