I messed up the Siheyuan

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Qin Jingru glanced at Qin Huairu with a hint of annoyance, and said in a slightly indignant tone, "What's so great about that Wang the purchaser?

Isn't it just a small buyer?

He looks down on me, but I am not proud of him!

Sister, please introduce me to a man who is better than him.

Later, when my life is good, I will envy him to death!"

Looking at this ignorant cousin, Qin Huairu felt both amused and sad.

She touched Qin Jingru's rosy cheek with heartache, and her voice choked slightly.

"Jingru!..."

"It's a good thing that you have a high spirit!"

"But we are from the countryside after all, so it's better to be more practical."

These words made Qin Jingru stunned.

She looked at Qin Huairu in surprise, "Sister, you mean...

Am I not worthy of that Wang Caigou?"

Qin Huairu nodded bitterly, "Jingru, I won't hide it from you!

Even though I have been married in the city for many years, the best unmarried man I know is Wang Ping from the front yard."

"Ah!..." Qin Jingru was surprised.

She was also hit hard by Qin Huairu's words.

After a while, she came back to her senses and murmured, "Sister, are Wang's purchasing conditions really that good?"

Seeing Qin Jingru like this, Qin Huairu smiled bitterly.

She pursed her lips and explained softly, “Wang Ping is the only one in his family now.

His mother died of illness a few years ago.

His father was a worker in a steel rolling mill. A few months ago, he was also crushed to death while trying to protect the machines in the factory.

In other words, if a girl married him, she would not have to serve her parents-in-law or suffer their anger.

When his father died, it seemed that he had made great contributions.

The factory gave me one thousand yuan in pension alone.

It seemed that his father had saved a lot of money before.

The neighbors in the yard all said privately that he had at least two thousand yuan in savings!

He spent the two thousand dollars by himself!

In our community, their food is the best.

For normal meals, eggs, meat, etc. are only eaten every few days.

Even the steamed corn bread we ate was mixed with half white flour.

It seemed that he never ran out of snacks like candies.

Before, he often gave milk candies to the children in the courtyard and alley.

However, he hasn’t posted much during this period.”

“Hiss!...” Qin Jingru took a breath and said with some disdain: “He has a good life!

But the way they spend it, the money his father left behind won’t last for more than a few years, right?

In our team, we call this kind of person a 'prodigal son'!"

"Tsk!..." Qin Huairu curled her lips and said, "What do you know?

People can spend, but they can also earn!

After his father died, he went to the factory to take over, and was originally supposed to take over the worker's shift.

However, because of his father's great contributions, the factory directly appointed him as a buyer in the purchasing department.

Moreover, just a few days after he started working as a purchasing agent, he made it a regular employee because he had made a small contribution.

Do you know how much he earns after he becomes a regular employee? "

Before Qin Jingru could answer, Qin Huairu continued with envy: "Every month, the salary alone is thirty-two yuan.

In addition, there is 50 kilograms of food rations!"

"Oh my god!..." Qin Jingru screamed in shock: "Thirty-two yuan and fifty kilograms of food!

Can he spend and eat all of it by himself?"

Qin Huairu did not respond to Qin Jingru, and continued to talk to herself: "Their house is in the front yard, and there are two side rooms.

The two rooms together are more than 60 square meters, which is enough for a large family of seven or eight people.

But now, he lives alone.

Look at our house..."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu pointed to the room.

"It's just this one room. Although it's a bit bigger, about 30 square meters, it still squeezes in all five of us, young and old."

Then, she touched her belly again, "When he comes out, there will be a family of six, squeezed into this room."

Qin Huairu's words made Qin Jingru finally start to look around the room he was in.

As a result, she just turned her head and looked around, and her heart felt a little cold.

The whole room is divided into two rooms, inner and outer.

The outer room is very small, only about ten square meters.

If you put a dining table and a few chairs, there is basically no space left.

The stacked wooden boxes in the four corners make the outer room look closed and crowded.

If people stay in such a room for a long time, they will inevitably have repressed emotions accumulated in their hearts.

The inner and outer rooms are connected to each other through a door frame without a door.

Normally, there would be half a curtain hanging on the door frame.

However, now that the door curtain was drawn, Qin Jingru took a quick look along the door frame and got a clear view of the situation in the inner room.

Compared with the outer room, the inner room is larger, about 20 square meters, but the earthen kang inside occupies more than 10 square meters.

The stacked wooden boxes on the remaining space made the inner room equally crowded.

"Sister!..." Qin Jingru asked hesitantly, "Your family just...sleep on that kang?"

"What else?" Qin Huairu smiled bitterly, "Look at this room, there is no empty space."

"Then..." Qin Jingru pointed to the small door on the other side and asked, "What is that room used for?"

"That room is the kitchen!" Qin Huairu explained, "This room is too small, there is no place to cook, so we built a small house outside against the wall, and then opened a small door in the room."

"This..." Qin Jingru hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister!...Your family's living conditions are too cramped.

you...

How did you survive these years?"

Qin Huairu almost cried after hearing these words.

She took a breath, forced a slightly sad smile on her face, and said, "Actually, when we first got married, this room was just your brother-in-law, my mother-in-law, and me. The three of us lived in it, so it wasn't that crowded."

As she spoke, she sighed with a hint of helplessness.

"It's just that we had two children in the past few years, and they are getting older, so it seems a bit crowded."

"Sister!..." Qin Jingru looked at Qin Huairu with heartache, "What should we do in the future?

Are you going to just endure the rest of your life like this?"

"Just hang in there!" Qin Huairu said helplessly, "Maybe, if we hang in there...life will get better!"

"Sister!..." Qin Jingru asked again: "Life in the city for your family must be difficult, right?!"

Qin Huairu smiled, she understood what Qin Jingru meant.

When Qin Jingru asked this, she was not angry, but patiently explained.

"In the city of Beijing, there are many people who are not as good as ours.

"Our courtyard is at least a proper courtyard."

"You haven't been to those slums yet!"

"In the compound, there are families with three generations of people, seven or eight people, squeezed into one small house."
