The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

When they were almost at the entrance of the village, Qin Huairu got out of the car with a resentful look in her eyes and rubbed her butt.

Chang Wei knew the reason without thinking, and deliberately teased. "What's wrong? Did you miss a relative who came?"

Qin Huairu's pretty face turned red, and she said coquettishly, "You're so annoying. Your butt is shaking all over when you run so fast."

Chang Wei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Come, let me massage you. Next time, put a straw bag in as a cushion."

As he spoke, his hand had already touched the soft spot.

"Oh no! Damn it, someone will see us soon."

Qin Huairu ran away quickly with a blushing face.

When the two entered the village and met the villagers, everyone gave them meaningful smiles, and the aunties who were familiar with them teased them.

"Hey! Daya, weren't you going to marry someone in the city? Why did you change your mind?"

"Daya, you're so quick! I wanted to introduce my Sanhua to Awei!"

"Awei, you are such a great guy! You have captured the most beautiful girl in our village!"

……

The two of them were well aware of this situation. The Qin family had already announced the news of their engagement today.

Chang Wei greeted him with a smile. Qin Huairu blushed with embarrassment at the teasing and ran home first.

Nowadays, men with skills are very popular in the village.

Chang Wei is now a well-known young man in Qinjia Village. He is not only tall, strong, handsome, but also good at hunting, slaughtering pigs, and carpentry. He is proficient in everything.

In just one month, he built three houses and raised six piglets.

The point is that his hunting skills are truly unmatched.

It's not that no one was jealous. Several people in the village who knew how to hunt went into the mountains with hunting spears and shotguns. After wandering around for two or three days, they saw a nest of wild boars but didn't dare to hunt them, so they returned in shame.

Why is it called "one pig, two bears, three tigers"? It's because wild boars are stubborn and will fight to the death if they sense danger. A single wild boar can kill a person with a single shot, and a group of wild boars is even more dangerous.

If the villagers want to eat meat now, they don’t have to go to the market to buy it. They can just go to Chang Wei’s house and order some in advance and ask him to reserve it. It is not only cheap but also fresh.

The village has high hopes for Chang Wei, and many families want to marry their daughter to him. They just want to get to know him better. It happens to be the busy farming season, so they will let their daughter go and get to know him after they are done.

As a result of this interruption, the news of Qin Huairu and Chang Wei's engagement came out today, which immediately extinguished many people's ideas. I don't know how many girls slapped their thighs in regret.

Chang Wei returned home, took the pig off the cart and locked it in the pigsty. He took a shower in the yard and changed into clean clothes.

He put the pig's head, tail and ten pounds of pork belly into the backpack, and separated the candies for the engagement, nine feet of cotton cloth, a comb and scissors, etc., and wrapped eighteen yuan and eighty cents in red paper that had been prepared in advance.

Carrying a backpack, Chang Wei embarked on the journey to engagement.

A few houses into the village is Qin Huairu's home. I arrived at the gate and knocked on it.

As soon as she heard the knock on the door, Qin Huairu ran out of the house like a happy little bird.

Seeing that it was Chang Wei, he opened the door with his legs clacking, and happily pulled him into the yard.

"Awei, you're here! Come in quickly."

Then he shouted excitedly into the house, "Mom, Awei is here!"

Meng Xiaoyun came out of the house and greeted them with a smile on her face. "Awei is here!"

Chang Wei entered the courtyard, nodded, and called out with a smile. "Auntie!"

Meng Xiaoyun greeted her warmly. "Daya, take Awei into the house and sit down."

Qin Huairu's eyes curved as she happily and actively pulled him into the house.

After entering the house, Chang Wei put down the backpack and sat down. Seeing that only the mother and daughter were at home, he asked casually, "Aunt, where are Uncle Hai and the others?"

"Your uncle and your eldest brother have gone to the fields. Judging from the weather, they should be back soon." Meng Xiaoyun slapped his thigh and remembered that it was getting late. He got up quickly. "Awei, sit down and talk with Daya. I'll go cook."

Qin Huairu brought a bowl of water to Chang Wei and said quickly, "Mom, go quickly!"

While I'm cooking, I can be alone with Awei. The two of us can never have enough of our own world.

Meng Xiaoyun seemed to know what her daughter was thinking. She gave Qin Huairu a smile and walked out of the house. Her meaning was obvious: she was warning her not to do anything out of line.

In the room, Qin Huairu happily whispered to Chang Wei, sometimes shy, sometimes laughing...

Not long after, Qin Zhenghai took the lead, followed by his son Qin Huaiyong and his wife, and returned from the fields holding sickles.

If it weren't for the happy smile on his face and the sickle swinging in his hand, I would have thought he was doing something!

After entering the yard and hanging the sickle on the wall, Qin Zhenghai smiled even more when he saw Chang Wei coming.

Chang Wei stood up and called someone, then took out a cigarette and lit it for Qin Zhengshan and his son.

"Uncle Hai, Brother Yong, Sister-in-law."

"Awei is here!"

After greeting each other, Qin Zhenghai's face was beaming, and he felt that all the fatigue from working in the fields had dissipated, and he waved his hand happily.

"Come on, come on, Ah Wei, don't be polite, let's go inside and sit down."

As soon as they entered the house, Qin Huairu's sister-in-law Zhao Pan pulled her husband Qin Huaiyong and pointed to the backpack in the house.

Qin Huaiyong and Chang Wei were also familiar with each other, and they looked at the backpack and said with a smile.

"Ah Wei, you brought so many things with you. This is not an engagement at all! Just take Daya back with you!"

Qin Huairu, who had been standing aside obediently, blushed, glared at her elder brother Qin Huaiyong, and then secretly glanced at Chang Wei.

Qin Zhenghai also walked over and stretched his head to take a look when he heard this, and he exclaimed in his heart, wow! Your engagement gift is more than others get when they get married.

He patted Chang Wei's shoulder with a frivolous smile.

"Awei, your brother is right. Why don't you take Daya home after dinner? Getting married is just a matter of registration. It can be done whenever you are free. It is better to give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible."

"Dad, why are you like this..."

Qin Huairu stamped her feet in shame and ran to the kitchen, probably to complain to her mother.

I didn't expect that this father and son were so interesting. They were very clear about selling their sister and daughter.

"Uncle Hai, Brother Yong, look at what you said. Marriage is the most important event in Huairu's and my life. How can we let her down? I must take this matter seriously! We must not miss any of the necessary procedures. Once the wedding date is set, we must marry her off in a grand manner."

With just these few words, Chang Wei fully demonstrated his importance to Qin Huairu and made the Qin family feel at ease.

Although Qin Zhenghai and his son sold it out so thoroughly, it was because they knew Chang Wei well. But as family members, they all had expectations in their hearts, hoping that their daughter and sister would live well and be valued, which was human nature.

"Okay, okay, sit down, don't stand. Boy, I was right about you. Your aunt is right, Daya is lucky to meet you. Look, isn't this much better than marrying in the city?"

Qin Zhenghai greeted Chang Wei with a happy smile. He was very satisfied with this son-in-law. He had talked with his elder brother Qin Zhengshan privately and knew Chang Wei's ability to make money. He knew his talent and character. He didn't need to consider it at all. What about the workers in the city? Chang Wei made 300 yuan a month. How many people could compare with him? Not to mention his talent and appearance. There was absolutely nothing to pick.

Qin Huaiyong also laughed at the side. This brother-in-law, that's right...

Zhao Pan was full of envy. Was this man that her sister-in-law was looking for with great difficulty? It was too good!

Chang Wei and Qin Zhenghai, father and son, were chatting in the house, laughing and having a great time.

Zhao Pan added water to the three people and went to the kitchen to help.

Normally, the immediate family members would be invited to drink at the engagement. From the conversation, Chang Wei knew why Qin Zhengshan and his family didn't come. They were too busy with farming and were looking forward to the wedding banquet later!

……

"Stop chatting and come eat!"

Meng Xiaoyun shouted into the house from the kitchen door.

"Awei, let's go, let's go eat."

When Qin Zhenghai heard his wife calling him to eat, he was more enthusiastic than anyone else. He pulled Chang Wei away, leaving his own son aside.

Qin Huaiyong was speechless and fell into self-doubt.
