Chapter 316: Meeting Xiaodang Sophora Flower on the Road
Seeing Xue Aimin worrying about gains and losses, Zhao Ye smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I asked Qin Jingru, she is very satisfied with you, you, just wait to marry a wife."

"Really?" Xue Aimin was overjoyed and quickly asked Zhao Ye again. After receiving a positive answer, the boy was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear.

After having fun for a while, realizing that the matchmaker was still in front of him, Xue Aimin hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhao, why did you come to me today?"

Zhao Ye didn't hide anything, and roughly told the story of Qin Jingru being taken advantage of by his cousin Qin Huairu, and then told his solution.

"In order to prevent further mishaps, I simply placed Qin Jingru in the guest house of the steel rolling mill."

"Then what does Brother Zhao want me to do?"

"I mean, since you two are right, it's better to cut the knot quickly. You go back and discuss it with your dad. If he doesn't object, you can ask for leave tomorrow and accompany Qin Jingru back to her parents' house to clear up the matter. Lu, Qin Huairu, the provincial one, seizes the opportunity to cause trouble again!"

Xue Aimin has always been thinking about Qin Jingru since he met him, and he was eager to marry him into his family as soon as possible. Therefore, when Zhao Yeggang made the proposal, he immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll tell my dad about this when I get back tonight. I think it won't be a big problem."

After saying that, Xue Aimin hesitated for a few seconds and said slightly embarrassedly: "Brother Zhao...can you give me Jingru's address? I want to take the time to see her."

Zhao Ye had a look on his face that every man knows, and he joked with a smile: "Okay, boy, you are quite good at it. You know how to find every opportunity to please a beautiful woman!"

Xue Aimin blushed and defended: "Brother Zhao, you misunderstood. I was mainly...well, I was worried that it would be unsafe for Qin Jingru to live alone in the guest house, so..."

Zhao Ye raised his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, explanation is just a cover-up. Anyway, I have done everything I can, and the rest is up to you."

With that said, he told Xue Aimin Qin Jingru's room number, declined his offer to treat him to lunch, said goodbye, left the grain station, and went straight to the largest department store nearby.

The purpose of Zhao Ye's trip was simple, that is, to buy a bicycle for Ding Qiunan.

It was for this reason that he generously lent his old car to Yu Li.

There is not much to say about the process of buying a bicycle. The only unpleasant thing is that the service attitude of the salespersons in this era is really bad. They all act like uncles and have no concept that the customer is God.

After buying the car, he naturally had to go to the local police station to get a stamp. Zhao Ye thought it would be done quickly, but he didn't expect it until he realized that the procedures were quite cumbersome. By the time he finished all this, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

As a result, he had no choice but to give up his plan to go to the machine repair shop and instead rode the car he just bought to the courtyard.

…………

If anyone is happiest during the New Year, it is definitely the children, especially in this era of extremely scarce material conditions. For children, the New Year not only means having new clothes to wear, meat to eat, but also New Year's money.

No, seeing that it is already the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, a group of children from well-off families gathered together to set off firecrackers in the alley. For a while, the area was filled with the sound of firecrackers and the laughter of children.

In sharp contrast, the three children of Qin Huairu's family could only watch from a distance and pick up some squibs to play with.

After picking it up, Xiaodang pulled the sleeve of Banggeng and said enviously: "Brother, today is Xiaonian. Everyone has the money to set off firecrackers, why can't we?"

Bangge was quite self-aware. He said with a grimace: "Even on New Year's Day, our family doesn't have the money to set off firecrackers. You'd better go home with me."

Xiaodang nodded reluctantly, but Huaihua pouted and said, "No, I want to see it."

"Sophora japonica, as long as you obey me, how about I carry you back?"

Just when Banggeng was tempting his sister with benefits, Xiaodang suddenly asked: "Brother, didn't Grandpa Xu give you a dollar last time? Why don't you take it out and buy us some firecrackers to play with?"

When Huaihua heard this, she was even more unwilling to go home, and looked at her brother longingly.

However, Banggeng said: "Don't mention it, grandma has already left that dollar. If I had money, I could still be here and watch!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaodang's face fell instantly. Huaihua was young and ignorant, and still clung to the stick.

"Brother, buy me a box of small firecrackers. You can buy a hundred of them for only [-] cents!"

Xiaodang patted his sister on the shoulder and warned her: "Huaihua, don't embarrass your brother."

"But……"

Before Sophora japonica was finished, Banggeng had already patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I figured out a way."

Xiaodang asked strangely: "Brother, what can you think of?"

Banggian rolled his eyes and said proudly: "Today is Xiaonian. Our head teacher Ran is going to come for a home visit. I can trade this news with Shazhu. He will definitely be willing to pay."

Xiaodang didn't know why Silly Zhu wanted to know this news, but her past experience made her understand that Silly Zhu was a victim.

Well, Jia Zhang said this at home, and she said it more than once.

"Brother, go quickly. Huaihua and I are waiting for you here."

"Okay, you are not allowed to run around."

After telling his sister, Banggan went to block stupid pillars on the only way from the steel rolling mill to the courtyard, while the young and old sisters continued to watch other children shooting off cannons with envy.

While she was looking at it, Huaihua suddenly grabbed Xiaodang's hand, pointed to the other end of the alley and said, "Sister, look, Uncle Zhao Ye!"

Xiao Dang angrily slapped his sister's hand and said seriously: "Grandma and brother told me that he is an enemy of our family and we are not allowed to call him uncle. Have you forgotten how he beat grandma and brother?"

"But mom said children can't be rude."

When Xiaodang wanted to teach Sophora japonica a lesson again, Zhao Ye had already arrived in front of them on a bicycle. Sophora japonica ignored her sister's warning and shouted: "Hello, Uncle Zhao!"

Hearing such an unexpected greeting, Zhao Ye was actually stunned for several seconds, because in his memory, ever since he crossed over, he had never dealt with the Jia family, so Qin Huairu's children almost always avoided him when they saw him. Go.

Now one can imagine Zhao Ye's surprise when the little girl Huaihua suddenly called her uncle.

But then again, among all the Jia family members, Zhao Ye hated the grandsons Jia Zhang and Bang Gang the most, followed by Qin Huairu. He had mixed impressions of Xiaodang and Huaihua.

The good thing is that these two little girls were quite cute when they were young, and he couldn't bear to argue with such young children.

The bad side is that the young and old sisters lived in an environment like the Jia family, which caused them to grow crookedly in the future. Although the white-eyed wolves are not as good as the stick dogs, they are not far away, and some of their behaviors are really disgusting.

But that is all for the future. At the moment, Zhao Ye really can't turn a deaf ear to Sophora japonica's greetings.

So he stopped the car and said yes, then asked the two of them with a smile: "It's such a cold day, you two are not staying at home, why are you here?"

Xiao Qian still swore that Zhao Ye was her enemy, but the next moment when Zhao Ye looked at her, she was frightened, and obediently followed Huaihua and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhao, Huaihua and I are here to watch people. Set off firecrackers.”

Zhao Ye nodded, his eyes fell on the squibs in the hands of the two sisters, and he sighed slightly in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out two pieces of fifty cents from his pocket and handed them to the two of them respectively. "Here, take it to buy firecrackers."

The two little girls were overjoyed and hurriedly took it over, thanking Zhao Yelai in unison.

Zhao Ye smiled, touched their heads next to each other, and told them: "Be careful when playing, be careful not to blow it up."

"Know it!"

Xiaodang was so excited that he immediately put the stick behind his mind, said goodbye to Zhao Ye, and then pulled Sophora japonica and ran to the store in the distance.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Ye couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. His mood felt a little better for no reason, and he went back to the courtyard humming a little tune.

In sharp contrast to Zhao Ye, Banggeng's mood was not very good.

This kid caught Si Zhu in the middle of the road, and after a lot of deception, he finally got thirty cents from him. But when he happily returned to the agreed place, he found that his two sisters had long disappeared.

After searching around the area and still unable to find the two of them, Banggeng took it for granted that they had gone back first, so he started playing by himself until he felt a little hungry, and then he ran back home.

"Grandma, what's for dinner?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang, who had been lying in bed stretching out her body all afternoon, did not cook dinner at all. Hearing this, she lazily replied: "Grandma is not feeling well today. You go to Xu Damao's house to eat."

Banggan didn't think much, and turned around to go to the backyard to find Qin Huairu. He didn't want to be stopped by Jia Zhang again: "Good grandson, wait a minute. If Xu Damao has extra food, remember to bring some to grandma!"

"Okay, I get it." Banggeng responded casually, turned around and walked out of the room to Xu Damao's house.

Qin Huairu had been back for half an hour. She had just finished cooking the meal and was about to serve Xu Damao, who had limited mobility, when he saw his son wandering in from the corner of his eye and asked, "Banggan, where are Xiaodang and Sophora japonica?" "

"Ah?" Banggeng was speechless and said as if he was struck by lightning: "Aren't they already back?"

Qin Huairu was startled and quickly put the rice on the stove and asked Banggeng: "Didn't your grandma say that the three of you went to play outside? Why didn't you go with them?"

Bangge almost cried, and Kengkaba explained the reason.

Qin Huairu almost fainted after hearing this. She wanted to slap her son a few times, but she was so frightened when she saw him that she had to give up the idea, steeled herself and walked out.

However, Qin Huairu walked to the middle courtyard and habitually wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai for help. But when she arrived at the door of Yi's house, she backed down again and didn't know how to persuade Yi Zhonghai.

Just as she was organizing her words in her mind, she heard the sound of children playing in the front yard. If she listened carefully, one of the voices was clearly Xiaodang's.

Sure enough, before Qin Huairu could find her, the two young ladies appeared at the Chuihua Gate. As soon as she saw her, Huaihua rushed over happily, holding up the things in her hands to offer treasures as she ran.

"Mom, look, Huaihua bought a lot of small firecrackers!"

Qin Huairu took a deep breath and asked with a dark face: "Why did you go there? Why weren't you with your brother?"

"I went to buy small firecrackers."

Seeing that Huaihua couldn't explain clearly, Qin Huairu turned his attention to his eldest daughter again.

"Xiao Dang, tell me!"

How old is Xiaodang? Besides, he was born in a family that values ​​sons over daughters, so he learned to look at faces very early.

After realizing that her mother was angry, she cautiously replied: "We were originally with my brother, but he said he was going to find Uncle Silly, so Huaihua and I went to the store to buy cannon. We will go back to find my brother later. By then, he was no longer here.”

Qin Huairu immediately discovered the problem: "Where did you get the money?"

Huaihua jumped in front of Xiao and replied: "Uncle Zhao Ye gave it to us. He gave me and my sister fifty cents each. Huaihua has never seen so much money in her life!"

Qin Huairu was amused by her daughter's words: "How old are you, and you dare to say this all your life?"

After saying that, she realized what she heard and confirmed to Xiaodang in disbelief: "Who gave you the money?"

"It's Uncle Zhao Ye."

"Why did he give you money? Tell me everything from beginning to end."

Xiaodang didn't dare to hide anything and honestly told the story of how they met Zhao Ye.

Qin Huairu didn't respond after listening for a long time. Xiaodang thought she was still angry and said in fear: "Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed grandma and brother. I will never talk to Zhao Ye again."

Qin Huairu smiled with a complex expression and lowered her head to comfort Xiaodang: "Silly boy, you are not wrong. Don't listen to your grandma and your brother's nonsense. When you meet Uncle Zhao Ye in the future, you have to ask people like you did today. Remember? ?”

"I remember."

"Just remember, let's go back and eat."

On the other side, after learning from Banggan that Ran Qiuye was coming to visit his home, Shazhu didn't even bother to eat, and started to pack himself up as soon as he got home.

It's a pity that this guy's vision is really bad. After a long time of fussing, in the end he just wore leather shoes and had a stroke, making him look like a traitor.

But he still felt very good about himself. When Ran Qiuye was about to leave after his home visit, he hurriedly came out of the house and pretended to meet her by chance.

"Hey, isn't this Teacher Ran? Why did you come to our hospital?"

Ran Qiuye had met Shazhu twice before. The first time she came to Jia's house to urge Banggeng to pay his tuition. At that time, Shazhu generously donated his money to pay Banggeng's tuition.

The second time was when Ran Qiuye went to repair her bicycle this morning, she happened to meet Si Zhu selling a bicycle wheel. The wheel is still installed on her bicycle.

"Master He, you are at home. I am here to pay a home visit to classmate Jia Gen."

"That's right. Have you eaten yet? If not, why don't you go to my house to have something?"

"No, I had already eaten when I came here. Thank you for your kindness."

Seeing that Ran Qiuye rejected his invitation, Silhu was not discouraged and immediately offered to send him out again.

This time Ran Qiuye couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to agree.

Silly Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately walked to Ran Qiuye's side, looking for something to say when he had nothing to say, and then carrying Ran Qiuye's bicycle, explaining incisively and vividly what it meant to be a dog licker.
