Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 44
People are in high spirits during happy events, and Gu’s mother has been smiling for two days in a row. Qin Huairu discovered this keenly. After get off work on Saturday, she took Sophora japonica and Xiaodang to her house for a chat.Qin Huairu complained about the heavy wind and sand in the spring in the capital, and also complained about when he would ask the military brothers to help bring more eggs.

The eggs I eat at home now are thanks to the two hens my aunt gave me before the Chinese New Year last year, so I can lay two eggs without any problems.Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer eggs being sold in the market, and so are the supply and marketing cooperatives. I even failed to buy any eggs several times when I took egg stamps!
Without eggs to eat, the children's little faces are all sallow now. When Qin Huairu said this, tears almost fell!

Of course Gu's mother agreed without any hesitation. Now Gu's mother has hundreds of millions of trust in Gu Weijun's abilities!
Then Qin Huairu inadvertently brought the topic to Gu Weijun. The military commander is really promising. Now I heard that he has a really good relationship with the two leaders in the security department.Zhuzi and the old lady secretly went to the black market to sell food stamps and were caught. If it weren't for the army, how might Zhuzi be dealt with by the factory?I heard that some factories not only record demerits, but some also ask them to quit.
Talking about the silly son, Gu's mother's face glowed even more, Dajun is doing well now!I really met a good leader!

Qin Huairu then asked, what happy things has happened to my aunt recently?How nice have you been these past two days?

Mother Gu hesitated for a moment, then Qin Huairu asked coquettishly, Auntie, is there anything you need to hide from me?Only then did Gu's mother whisper to Qin Huairu that Gu Weijun had acquired three main houses in the courtyard house on Beichizi Street, and repeatedly asked Qin Huairu not to tell anyone.

Qin Huairu was shocked and nodded repeatedly. Although she knew that Gu Weijun would probably do well in the future, she didn't expect that they would be divided into houses just a short time after working?It's still on Beichizi Street, next door is the Forbidden City!
Qin Huairu's emotions of envy, jealousy, joy, bitterness, and joy were intertwined in her heart. She couldn't describe what it felt like, and she secretly made up her mind to make good friends with Gu Weijun's family!

Qin Huairu told Gu's mother that she could not be held back by such a happy event. She would definitely participate in it. She strongly wanted to go to Gu Weijun's house on Beichizi Street on Sunday to help out and also visit by the way!Gu Ma agreed.

Qin Huairu went home at night and couldn't sleep while tossing and turning. Jia Zhang secretly asked in a low voice through the curtain: "Huairu, are you worried about something?"

Qin Huairu simply stopped sleeping, put on her clothes and got up, went to Jia Zhang's side, and said in a low voice: "Mom, please don't make any noise!" Then she whispered that Gu Weijun had another set of the courtyard house on Beichizi Street. I talked about the three principal rooms.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was also extremely surprised. She rolled up and climbed up, grabbed her clothes and put them on. She confirmed with Qin Huairu again in a low voice: "Huairu, is this true?" Qin Huairu nodded softly in the darkness, "Yes." There was a sound.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were silent together for a while in the dark. Mrs. Jia Zhang took the initiative to take Qin Huairu's hand and said earnestly: "Huairu, you have to seize the opportunity for the old Gu family in the backyard! As a man, there is nothing wrong with you. What a sneaky cat!" After a pause, he continued: "Now it seems that the eldest son of the old Gu family is definitely a person. I don't know what will happen in the future? But he will definitely be better than other families in the courtyard!"

"What can we, two women, do? We have several children at home who can't afford food and clothing at most! What can we do after that? What will happen to the children's jobs? What to do with the house?"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a while and said, "Mom, do you remember that during National Day last year, Aunt Wang and uncle went back to the Northeast to visit relatives, and I went to help Junzi and Erjun clean up the house and wash clothes and bring back the box of meat?"

Jia Zhang was very surprised why Qin Huairu mentioned such a long time ago, but still replied: "Remember, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu was still confused, and she was telling the story one by one, very confusingly, "Junzi always called me sister-in-law, and that was the first time he called me sister in private. And that was the first time I took the initiative to go to his house, and he took that When I take out a box of meat, I just ask him to give me a few pieces and bring it back."

Mrs. Jia Zhang was very calm at this time. She knew that her daughter-in-law must be very upset, so she did not rush her. She also said, "Well, you are right. I don't even want to take Si Zhu's lunch box."

"Well," Qin Huairu continued in the darkness: "Well, I know, and then, mom, do you know? Junzi said nonchalantly, take them all, I don't eat overnight meat! Mom, do you know? I At the time, I just thought he was bragging because he was young, but looking back now, Jun Zi may have really not cared about so much meat!"

Jia Zhang continued to cooperate and said: "It's really possible!"

Qin Huairu continued to talk to herself in the dark: "Mom, you may not know that I often go to Aunt Wang's house in the backyard, and their house never lacks delicious food. I often help clean up, and there are always so many eggs in the cupboard. ! Chicken, sea fish, peanuts, soybeans, etc. often appear!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was a little moved, "Really!"

Qin Huairu affirmed "Yeah" and then said: "That's why I asked Aunt Wang to give us two old hens during the Chinese New Year last year! She gave them to us without any hesitation! And tonight , when Aunt Wang gave peanuts to the child, guess what I saw?"

Jia Zhang asked slightly hastily: "What?"

"Meat!" Qin Huairu was also slightly excited: "At least a dozen kilograms of meat!"

Jia Zhang said excitedly, "Ah!" "Their family's life is really so good!"

"Mom, please keep your voice down!" Qin Huairu said nervously, "Don't let the children hear it, otherwise we won't be able to get along with you if word gets out!"

Jia Zhang quickly responded: "That's right, that's right!" She excitedly grabbed Qin Huairu's hand again, "Huairu, you must catch the boss of the Gu family!" "There are so many good things that can be done at this time. Food is not only about living a good life!”

At this time, Qin Huairu remembered what she was going to say at the beginning, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, I know, by the way, when Junzi called me sister, he said a few words to me, and I kept saying Not allowed."

Jia Zhang also calmed down a little, "Well, what did you say?"

Qin Huairu finally clarified his thoughts, "He said, the 1000 millionth thing is to treat the children in the kindergarten well; the 2000 millionth thing is not to take things from home; the [-]rd thing is never to let Banggeng go to Shazhu's house to steal things; [-]. Educational memes must be polite and call them uncle, mom, grandpa, grandma!"

Jia Zhang's face was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, it was night, "Huai Ru, no wonder Bangge took something from Silly Zhu's house last time. You have to educate Bangge!"

Qin Huairu responded with a soft "hmm".

Jia Zhang endured the embarrassment and said to Qin Huairu: "Then I won't let Bangge go to Sha Zhu's house to get anything! Sha Zhu's house only has some peanuts and cabbage hearts at most!" Then Jia Zhang said with some disdain. : "But Yi Zhonghai is not a good guy!"

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu in the dark without responding, and finally said in a low voice, "Otherwise, how do you think Dongxu got his job?"

"Ah!" Qin Huairu was awakened from her thoughts. In fact, just after hearing her mother-in-law agree with her, Qin Huairu was thinking that Junzi knew so much at such a young age?Qin Huairu asked in surprise: "Mom, are you saying that Dongxu's job is because of you and Yi?" , otherwise why do you think Yi Zhonghai would help Dongxu enter the steel rolling mill?" "Why did we go to Changping when we proposed marriage to Dongxu?" "Isn't it just the matter between Yi Zhonghai and me?" " The elderly people around can guess it!"

Qin Huairu was shocked, "No wonder you always told me to stay away from the first master before!"

Jia Zhang sneered a few times, "I know very well the little thoughts in Yi Zhonghai's heart! Don't you just want a son of your own? It was me back then!" "After Dongxu left, he took you with him verbally. You learn fitter from around you, but what does it teach you?" "You know it in your heart, right?" "Yi Zhonghai may not have his thoughts on you!"

Qin Huairu was shocked, "Mom, no wonder you wanted me to go to the hospital to get the ring!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was a little bitter, "Well, after all, I am a woman and I am illiterate. How can I protect you?" Mrs. Jia Zhang sighed, "Last year, the director of the Women's Federation came and said that you would be transferred to the kindergarten. You don't know that I How happy I feel!"

"Mom actually doesn't have to stop you from remarrying, but after all, mom comes from the old society and has seen a lot! How many remarriages have good results?" "It's not just mothers who have to be beaten and scolded. , the same goes for children!" "Huh, don't talk about remarrying, you just go back to your parents' family, see how long your family can tolerate you?"

"Mom!" Qin Huairu shouted "Mom" in a low voice, then hugged Jia Zhang and cried!The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law burst into tears!After having a heart-to-heart chat that night, Qin Huairu's family became more harmonious!Mrs. Jia Zhang took the initiative to take on part of the housework.

On Sunday, after breakfast, Gu Weijun and his family went out. They brought nothing else but a handy rag that Gu's mother used, because Gu Weijun said that the bedding and other things in the back would still be wet!In fact, Gu Weijun wanted to use several sets of silk in the northeast courtyard.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Gu's mother specifically asked Qin Huairu to cover her, "Xiao Qin, you're not going out today?" Qin Huairu replied with a smile: "Aunt, I have to go out to the streets later!" "Aunt, you Where are we going?”

Gu's mother responded loudly: "Let's go to the child's aunt's house for a visit!"

After the family arrived at Beichizi Street, they opened the courtyard door and went in. Gu Ma asked, "Did your leader say when they will move in?" "We helped them clean up together!"

Gu Weijun replied: "I don't know about this, but Brother Wei should move in soon!" "Compared with the marriage he got during the New Year last year, he will definitely be willing to move here sooner!"

Gu Ma said coldly, "What? You're still thinking about living here before you get married?" "I'm telling you, it's fine to come and live here occasionally. If you want to live there permanently, unless you get married too!" You still want to escape from my mother's Wuzhishan. !

Afterwards, the family got busy under Gu Ma's command. They fetched water and wiped clean here, and swept away the dust there.
After a while, the Yang Yu and Zhao Chenggang families also arrived, and the women took action one after another to free Dad Gu and Gu Weijun.

Several gentlemen walked around and visited the courtyard one after another. They all said that this courtyard is really beautiful!Unlike some courtyard houses, they have been completely destroyed!

Xiaoyu shouted in the three main rooms, "What a big room!" She ran to Gu Weijun and asked eagerly: "Junzi, in such a big room, you must feel very empty, right?"

Gu Weijun suppressed his laughter and replied seriously: "No! There happens to be a place to practice martial arts!"

Xiaoyu was choked immediately, but he was not discouraged and continued: "Uh, Junzi, we are brothers, right?"

Gu Weijun continued to reply seriously, "Maybe not!"

Xiaoyu's eyes widened like a big frog, "Don't you want to be my brother-in-law!" "It's not impossible, just give me a room!"

It was Gu Weijun's turn to widen his eyes like a frog, "What!" "I treat you as a brother, but you actually want to be my brother-in-law!"

At this time, Yang Qing, who heard the sound, came over and beat the three brothers out with a feather duster.The women laughed "haha", Mother Yang and Mother Gu were a little moved; Father Gu and Father Yang looked at each other and shook their heads slightly at the same time. They had to look at the children themselves, don't let the brothers become enemies in the end!
When the three brothers entered the room, Gu Weijun exaggeratedly said: "How could I give up the entire forest because of a tree!" "Ah! My mind is so broad!" "It can accommodate more." many!"

Xiao Yuguai shouted, "Ah! So you want to be Chen Shimei!" Gu Weijun immediately retorted, "What Chen Shimei? I want to be Cao Cao!"

Qin Huairu happened to come in from the courtyard gate. When he saw the three brothers fighting, he asked with a strange smile: "What are you three brothers doing, Chen Shimei and Cao Cao?"

Gu Weijun took the lead and called sister-in-law. Qin Huairu walked towards Gu Weijun, helped him straighten his collar, and said softly, "Let's call him Sister Qin from now on!" "My mother-in-law also agreed!" Then she twisted around and walked away. Entered the hanging flower door.

Xiaoyu shouted "Wow", then jumped to Gu Weijun's side, tightly strangled Gu Weijun's neck with one hand, and asked softly in Gu Weijun's ear: "Speak!" "When did you and Widow Qin become so close?" "No wonder you dare to consider my sister, you Chen Shimei!"

Gu Weijun was also confused. What happened to Widow Qin today?

But then he forgot about it, no matter what, Gu Weijun scratched Xiaoyu's chicken coop with his hand, "I am determined to be Cao Mengde's man!" "Tiezi, I will make you a pioneer officer!"

"Thousands of years have passed in the past, Wei Wu swung his whip!"

"Hey, Xiao Gu, you're so awesome!" Wei Ping'an and his family are here too!
