Wang Zhong stayed at the farm for more than half a year, from the beginning of the year until the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, before returning to the city.

Back home, Qin Jingru prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes. She also dug out the copper stove that had been gathering dust for a long time and bought five kilograms of fresh, high-quality mutton, all cut into thin slices, as well as fresh radish and cabbage. .

Knowing that his father was coming home, Wang Xinyi also rushed home while there was no class in the afternoon. The family sat around the dining table and ate boiled mutton.

A family of four was eating when there was a noise outside.

"what happened?"

Qin Jingru turned her head and looked outside the room curiously.

"It sounds like Yan Jiefang's voice." Wang Zhong said.

"Yan Jiefang? Does he still have the nerve to come back?" When talking about Yan Jiefang, Qin Jingru became very angry.

Ever since the earthquake in 1976, when Wang Zhong led his men to stop the brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang from demolishing the earthquake shelter, the three brothers and sisters had resented going to Lao Wang's house and occasionally came back to visit Yan Fugui and the third aunt. We didn't even say hello when we met him in the courtyard, we just pretended we didn't see him.

Qin Jingru is not a temperless person. Besides, if people don't want to see her, Qin Jingru naturally doesn't want to see them either. Anyway, her family doesn't ask for their place, but they, maybe they will come to her door in the future.

"What's wrong with him? What's he doing here?" Wang Zhong asked Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru explained: "Recently, the third uncle has been doing business with Xu Damao. He has made a lot of money, and a new washing machine and color TV have been added to the house. I guess Yan Jiefang has heard the news and is ready to come back and take advantage."

Wang Xinyi frowned and looked outside the room, listening to the quarrels in his ears, feeling a little displeased: "I remember Yan Jiefang was already in his thirties, why did he come back to take advantage of his parents if he didn't want to work hard? Cheap?"

Wang Xinyi has been taught by Wang Zhongyan since he was a child, but he has not been affected by the atmosphere in the courtyard. He is quite independent and a bit angry. After all, given his age, he is not cynical, but he always can't stand those who do not conform to his own moral values. Values ​​thing.

"Not only Yan Jiefang, but also Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi are all of the same virtue."

"Hey!" As she said that, Qin Jingru sighed: "I don't know how the three uncles in the courtyard were selected back then. The first uncle was okay, but the second uncle and the third uncle had nothing to do with their own families. Figure out how to take care of things in the courtyard."

"What's so strange about this? The first and second uncles are of higher rank and older, and the third uncle is a teacher."

"The second uncle's family has just been quiet for half a year, and the third uncle's family has become noisy again!" When Qin Jingru said this, she still had a slight smile on her face, looking up at Wang Zhong with a look in her eyes. It's somewhat meaningful.

Having known each other day and night and sharing the same bed for nearly twenty years, Qin Jingru knew Wang Zhong quite well. She knew that Wang Zhong was a person who only enjoyed watching the excitement and did not take things too seriously. She had already guessed that the reason why Wang Zhong lived in the courtyard and refused to move was because he felt that There are many people in the courtyard, and there is no shortage of gossip to listen to and excitement to watch in your spare time.

"For a family with many children, the most taboo thing is that a bowl of water cannot be leveled. The third uncle is also a scheming person. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Liqing are from the same family. Yan Jiekuang and the others are not fuel-efficient lamps. If there has been no change in the family, it is estimated that It can still maintain stability, but if something happens, it will become very noisy."

Wang Zhong's words were not only talking about the situation of the third uncle's family, but also teaching Wang Xinyi and Wang Heng.

Wang Heng is still young, and he can't decide whether to listen or not. Even if he listens, he may not be able to understand. But Wang Xinyi is different. This girl is about to graduate from college, and she will still have to find a partner by then. Wang Zhong couldn't help but seem a bit verbose about getting married, starting a family of his own, and having children.

The commotion outside is getting more and more violent.

"Dad, you can't be so partial. You lead your eldest brother and sister-in-law to do such a profitable business. I, the third child, and the younger sister are not your biological children, right?"

Then Yan Fugui's scolding came: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Anyway, I don't care. If you still recognize me as your son, then you must bring me with you in your business. You can't just make this money with your eldest brother and me."

"Dad, what second brother said makes sense!"

"..."

There was a lot of movement at Lao Yan's house, and the sound insulation effect of the brick-and-wood house was not very strong. Although there was a yard in the middle, Wang Zhong's family, who lived opposite Lao Yan's house, could hear Lao Yan's house very clearly. Conversation between father and son.

The other people living in the front yard naturally heard it. Wang Zhong and his family were fine, but the other people in the front yard were inevitably interested in the money-making business of Yan Fugui and Xu Damao.

"Her dad, what kind of business do you think the third uncle, Xu Damao and the others are doing, and how do they make so much money?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

Wang Zhongdao: "What other business can be done is to sell things from the south to the north. Now the reform and opening up in the south is in full swing. All kinds of factories are blooming everywhere, such as fashionable clothes and trousers, shoes and bags, electronic watches, televisions. , such a move from south to north, the profit is not low."

"The profit is not low?" Qin Jingru's eyes lit up instantly.

Wang Zhong saw Qin Jingru's thoughts at a glance and spoke first before she could say anything: "Don't envy others for making money. This is not a long-term business. The profits are high at the beginning, but the threshold is too low. As time goes by and there are more people doing it, the profits will naturally become lower and lower, and the competition will become more and more fierce.”

"If you really want to make money, just help Yu Yu and Brother Zhu run the Peony Building well. If the Peony Building is well managed, you will only earn more and more in the future."

"The sesame cakes at Mudanlou are delicious!" Wang Heng, who was immersed in cooking, suddenly raised his head and said.

"Aren't the sesame cakes made by mom delicious?" Qin Jingru asked, looking at her son.

Wang Heng said: "Mom's cooking is also delicious!"

"Speaking of sesame cakes, I haven't had my mom's sesame cakes for a long time." Wang Xinyi next to him also added.

"Mom will make sesame cakes tomorrow morning. You can go back to school after breakfast." Qin Jingru looked at her children with a bit of doting in her eyes.

Although Qin Jingru is still a bit patriarchal at heart, it does not mean that she does not love Wang Xinyi. They were both born in ten months of pregnancy and are connected by blood, so how could she not love him.

In the evening, after Wang Zhong handed over the official food, he hugged Qin Jingru and started chatting.

"I heard that Yu Yu said that Lou Xiao'e is back?" Qin Jingru asked curiously, leaning on Wang Zhong's arms.

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to deal with the people in the courtyard anymore, so she asked the Shazhu brothers and sisters and Wang Zhong not to reveal information about her to the people in the courtyard.

Silhu and Yuyu are both trustworthy people. They have never mentioned Lou Xiao'e's matter to anyone in the courtyard for several years.

This time, when Lou Xiao'e came back from Shencheng and went to the Peony Building to have a small gathering with Yuyu, she was bumped into by Qin Jingru.

The lady who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth now looks quite old. This alone shows what kind of life Lou Xiao'e lived in the bitter cold northwest in those years.

Naturally, Qin Jingru couldn't help but sigh. Lou Xiao'e also specifically asked her not to reveal her affairs to the people in the courtyard. She didn't want to have any interactions with other people in the courtyard.

"I've been back for many years." Wang Zhong said: "I even invested some money in her in Xin Yi's name!"

"Did you invest money in him?" Qin Jingru was stunned, her voice suddenly rose several decibels, and she struggled out of Wang Zhong's arms. She sat and turned to look into Wang Zhong's eyes with a look of shock.

"I heard from Yuyu that Lou Xiao'e's business has been quite big in recent years. She has opened several factories in Shencheng."

As soon as Qin Jingru stuck her buttocks out, Wang Zhong knew what she was thinking: "You money man, most of those factories belong to the Lou family. I only used Xin Yi's name to invest in Lou Xiao'e's newly opened garment factory, which specializes in making clothes, pants and shoes. .”

"That's a lot!" Qin Jingru said.

Wang Zhong said: "The initial investment was not small, but we started to make profits last year." "You, you, didn't even tell me about such a big thing." Qin Jingru couldn't help but slapped Wang Zhong angrily when she was happy.

Wang Zhongdao: "Didn't I tell you this?"

"Hmph!" Qin Jingru said coquettishly, "You still have the nerve to say that if I hadn't asked you about Lou Xiao'e, would you have been planning to hide it from me?"

Wang Zhong nodded and said, "I really didn't plan to tell you."

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes, but she wasn't angry at all: "Your mouth looks like it's been welded together, it's very tight."

Wang Zhong smiled slightly and did not answer.

Qin Jingru suddenly changed her voice: "Then what's going on between you and Yu Yu?"

"It's just firewood, that's all." Wang Zhong was calm.

Although Qin Jingru had already guessed it, she still couldn't help but feel sad when she heard the answer from Wang Zhong.

"Am I getting old?" Qin Jingru asked, looking aggrieved and a little uneasy at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong raised his hand and caressed Qin Jingru's cheek: "Time keeps passing by. You and I are both old, how can we not grow old."

"Hey!" Qin Jingru sighed, leaned into Wang Zhong's arms, put her hands around Wang Zhong's waist, and said inexplicably: "I hope you can lie to me and not be so honest."

Wang Zhongdao: "Some things, now that they have been done, must be faced. We can escape them for a while, but we cannot escape them forever."

"So during the six months you were at the farm, Yu Yu often visited you?" Qin Jingru hugged Wang Zhong tightly, as if she was afraid that Wang Zhong would run away or be lost.

Wang Zhong said: "I go occasionally!"

Qin Jingru asked: "When was the last time you met?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Half a month ago."

Qin Jingru was silent for a moment and said, "Yu Yu is pregnant, did you know?"

Wang Zhong said: "I know, it has been more than two months."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Qin Jingru laid her head in Wang Zhong's arms, not daring to raise her head to look at Wang Zhong.

Both because of fear and lack of confidence.

Wang Zhong said: "When I come back this time, I intend to explain this matter clearly to you."

Qin Jingru tightly wrapped her arms around Wang Zhong's waist, hugging him tighter and tighter, as if she wanted to rub her whole body into Wang Zhong's body, and asked abruptly: "Will we get divorced?"

When asking this question, Wang Zhong could clearly feel the changes in Qin Jingru's body.

Wang Zhong didn't even think about it before he answered resolutely: "No!"

Qin Jingru's delicate body trembled, and she was stiff for a moment. Then she raised her head buried in Wang Zhong's arms and looked at Wang Zhong with a look of surprise: "Really?"

"real."

"You're not coaxing me?"

"no!"

But she was only happy for a moment, and Qin Jingru's face was filled with worry again: "But what about the rain and the child in her belly?"

Wang Zhong said: "The child will definitely be born. As for the other things, what happened before will be the same in the future."

"But wouldn't this be unfair to the rain?" Qin Jingru asked pretending to be generous, holding back the discomfort.

Wang Zhongdao: "I told her at the beginning that since I chose you, I will not divorce. If she really makes up her mind to follow me, she must be mentally prepared. This is her own choice. What are the consequences? She has to bear it all by herself, although what I said is very irresponsible, but it is true."

Qin Jingru didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Her best friend became her husband's lover and was pregnant with her husband's child, but her husband had no intention of divorcing her and marrying another woman.

Qin Jingru's heart also became entangled.

"Then will Yu Yu's children also call you daddy in the future?" Qin Jingru asked.

"It depends on how Yu Yu teaches you!" Wang Zhong said.

Qin Jingru looked at Wang Zhong's calm eyes with a calm attitude. She looked at him for a long time without saying anything.

Suddenly, Qin Jingru moved, wrapped her hands around Wang Zhong's neck, leaned over and kissed him.

Tonight is destined to be a crazy night.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Qin Jingru got up with a pair of dark circles under her eyes to make sesame cakes.

Even though she had just experienced ups and downs, she still had not forgotten her promise to her daughter. It had to be said that Qin Jingru today was completely different from the one Wang Zhong saw on TV.

And Wang Zhong also found Yuyu.

Now Yuyu has moved out of the courtyard, bought a new yard to live in near the Peony Building, and hired a nanny to take care of her food and daily life.

"What, Jingru already knew about us?" Yuyu said with a surprised look on his face.

Wang Zhong said: "Don't be surprised. How can paper keep fire? Jingru should have guessed it a long time ago. She just pretended not to know until she found out you were pregnant, and then she chose to show off with me."

Yuyu's mood suddenly dropped, and he said with a worried look on his face: "What should I do now? Jingru must hate me to death."

"Don't worry. I've already made an agreement with Jingru. You two will live your own lives and not interfere with each other."

"You're pregnant now, so I won't go to the Peony Building for the time being. Ask your sister-in-law to quit her job and become the manager of the Peony Building to take over your job."

"Can my sister-in-law agree?" Pregnant women are indeed in trouble, and their minds are so messed up that they don't know what they are thinking.

Wang Zhong said: "You are like this, how could she disagree?"

He Yuyu's face was a little pale, which was caused by the strong reaction to morning sickness.
