Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

October 1965, 10, was a sunny day. Zhang Yuan had just returned from a mission and was in a particularly good mood. Due to the National Day celebrations, their security brigade was assigned to maintain public order in various places to ensure that social order was in good order in preparation for the National Day parade. During this special period, they had to work overtime for several consecutive days and had almost no time to go home. However, with the successful completion of the mission, the superiors specifically instructed that everyone should take turns to rest so that everyone would have a chance to adjust.

That day, Zhang Yuan rode his bicycle home, his heart full of anticipation and warm memories of home. When he returned to the familiar yard, he unexpectedly ran into Qin Huairu walking out of Sha Zhu's house with a pile of clothes. This scene made his face suddenly become gloomy. He muttered to himself: I have only been away from home for a few days, could it be that their old love has rekindled?

At this time, Sha Zhu also happened to come back. Qin Huairu, who had sharp eyes, spotted Zhang Yuan the first time. She was startled and her eyes were a little evasive. But soon, she calmed down and immediately walked around Zhang Yuan, not daring to look him in the eye, and walked straight towards Sha Zhu.

"Brother, let me wash your clothes for you." Qin Huairu's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

"Okay, sister, this is today's lunch box." Sha Zhu's face was filled with a happy smile, as if he owned the whole world. He handed the lunch box in his hand to Qin Huairu, looking so cautious, as if he was afraid of spoiling the delicious food inside.

Qin Huairu took the lunch box, her eyes sparkling with joy. She couldn't wait to open it, and a tempting aroma hit her nose. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva, secretly praising in her heart: Shazhu is still the best to me! Then, she took the lunch box home without hesitation, preparing to give the children nutrition.

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu took the lunch box, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile. He looked at Qin Huairu's departing back, his heart filled with warmth and happiness. Suddenly, he remembered something, turned around, and shouted to Qin Huairu's back: "Sister, don't forget my business!" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing again.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was standing quietly by the side, watching all this. He sighed in his heart, but he always felt that Qin Huairu looked at him in a strange way, and he felt very guilty, which made him feel very uncomfortable. However, he did not think much about it. After all, he had more important things to ask Sha Zhu.

"Brother-in-law, are you okay?" Zhang Yuan asked with concern.

"Ah, Zhang Yuan, you're back?" Sha Zhu was startled, his expression like a child who had done something wrong. His face instantly turned red, and he even felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Hehe, nothing happened, I was just playing around with Qin Huairu."

"Oh, really?" Zhang Yuan looked at Sha Zhu with doubt, thinking that the relationship between these two people is really close.

"Well... let's go back to the house and talk." Zhang Yuan saw that there were many people around and was afraid that Sha Zhu would be embarrassed, so he suggested.

"Oh." Sha Zhu sighed, nodded, and followed Zhang Yuan into the house.

Back in the house, before Zhang Yuan had a chance to speak, Sha Zhu couldn't wait to tell him everything. It turned out that Qin Huairu took the initiative to find Sha Zhu and told him that she wanted to introduce him to someone. And this person was Qin Huairu's cousin, who was said to be very pretty, even prettier than Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu said that she had recently received a letter from her hometown asking if there was a suitable blind date, so she thought of Sha Zhu.

Zhang Yuan was speechless after hearing this. He knew that Qin Huairu's move was too cruel and had directly caught Sha Zhu's weak spot. After all, Sha Zhu was old now, and men of the same age had basically started a family and had children. In addition, Sha Zhu had been in prison and his reputation was ruined. Who would be willing to marry their daughter to such a person? Therefore, when Sha Zhu heard that Qin Huairu was going to introduce him to a partner, he immediately became an obedient licking dog.

"Did Qin Huairu tell you when her cousin will come to the courtyard?" Zhang Yuan was well aware of the development of the plot and understood that it was impossible for Qin Huairu to help Sha Zhu go on a successful blind date. Besides, there was another person in the courtyard who would never allow Sha Zhu to get married.

"Sister Qin said that she will bring her cousin here at the end of this month." Sha Zhu said excitedly with a look of joy on his face.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan was a little surprised: "So late? Didn't you urge them?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head and explained, "Why didn't I urge her? But every time I mentioned this, she said that Xiao Dang was in the hospital and couldn't spare the time. She would only leave after she found a suitable person to help take care of him."

"Did she ask you for money?" Zhang Yuan suddenly asked.

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then answered truthfully: "Yes, she asked me for 5 yuan yesterday, and the day before yesterday she cried and said the hospital was asking for the medicine fee, so she borrowed another 10 yuan, and there was also matchmaker money and travel expenses, I gave them all to her."

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and sighed inwardly. This idiot Zhu, before things were even clear, had already started spending money. And this money was basically wasted, and there was no way to get it back.

"Haven't you ever doubted it?" Zhang Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Sha Zhu answered with a simple and honest face: "Whenever I mentioned money, she started crying. She cried so hard that I was embarrassed to ask her."

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt powerless. This was obviously a way to delay time and keep Sha Zhu in suspense.

"I know. You can ask for leave tomorrow and go somewhere with me."

"Where did you go?"

"I won't tell you yet, but you have to dress up nicely. We're going out tomorrow morning. Don't tell anyone who asks you. Then you can ride Yu Shui's bicycle and go out with me." Zhang Yuan was afraid that Sha Zhu would talk big, so he didn't tell him the truth. Since Qin Huairu was going to introduce her cousin to him, Zhang Yuan would take advantage of the situation and go directly to propose marriage. In the plot, Qin Jingru was also a good woman who was willing to live a good life, so she would be a good match for Sha Zhu.

"Okay." Seeing that Zhang Yuan refused to tell him his purpose, Sha Zhu stopped asking. He knew that Zhang Yuan would not harm him anyway.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan mentioned this to He Yushui. He Yushui was angry at Sha Zhu for not living up to her expectations at first, but after hearing that Zhang Yuan planned to go to Qinjia Village to propose marriage, she agreed immediately. She also hoped that Sha Zhu could get married so that the He family could have more branches. With a wife, at least there would be someone to control Sha Zhu and he would not be deceived by Qin Huairu again.
