Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"Mom, you eat first. I'll take these to Cui Dake."

In the morning, Qin Huairu specially heated up two extra steamed buns made of 20 grams of flour, which she prepared for Cui Dake. The dish was pickled cabbage dumplings, which was a must-have dish on every family table in the 1960s, especially in winter.

"Huai Ru, you are not attracted to Cui Dake, are you?"

After drinking a mouthful of corn porridge, Jia Zhang looked up at Qin Huairu suspiciously.

"Mom, what are you thinking? I like him, but he doesn't like me. He is a serious buyer, specializing in supplying the factory canteen. It is said that he has a good relationship with Deputy Director Li. We owe him two hundred yuan, so I just want to use this method to let Cui Dake forgive the debt."

"Huai Ru, your idea is good. If I can help you change your job through Cui Dake, that would be great too."

"Mom, it's not possible now. You can try it after it's cooked."

"I know, but Huairu, let's make it clear first, you have to be careful as we are alone together."

"Mom, don't worry. Everything I do is for this family. Just stay at home and take good care of the children."

"Well, send it over quickly before it gets cold."

Qin Huairu took the things and went out.

"Sister Qin, is this for me?"

Sha Zhu had just finished brushing his teeth when he looked up and saw Qin Huairu coming out of the house. The lid of the lunch box was not closed and he could see what was inside at a glance. Sha Zhu was very excited. At this moment, he actually felt sorry for Qin Huairu. He should not have given the lunch box to Liang Ladi next door these two days.

No, just because Sister Qin can think of me, I must give one of my lunch boxes to Sister Qin in the future.

"Silly Zhu, you have a nice idea."

"No, Sister Qin, it's not for me, then who is it for?"

"Silly Zhu, I'm not afraid of you knowing this. This is for Dake. He has helped me a lot recently. I don't have any other skills, so I can still cook for one more person in the morning."

Qin Huairu left, and Sha Zhu's heart sank. He was happy in vain.

Sha Zhu couldn't understand what virtue and ability Cui Dake had to have Sister Qin personally deliver meals to him?

"Yes, it really works."

Shaking his head, after sending the food home, Sha Zhu was not in the mood to make anything to eat, so he decided to go straight to work.

"Silly pillar, silly pillar."

As soon as Sha Zhu walked to the front yard, he was stopped by Yan Jiecheng.

"Yan Jiecheng, let go, there's no respect for elders."

Sha Zhu simply pulled Yan Jiecheng's hand away and continued walking towards the outer courtyard.

"Shazhu, you are so careless. I just saw Qin Huairu go to deliver food to Cui Dake."

Yan Jiecheng took two steps at a time and caught up with Sha Zhu.

"Just send it, Master Zhu doesn't care."

"Silly Zhu, don't leave yet, let's go and take a look secretly."

"What are you looking at?"

"Come on, don't worry about what you're looking at, just look at whatever you can."

Yan Jiecheng pulled the reluctant Sha Zhu.

The two of them tiptoed along the wall and came to Cui Dake's door.

Look inside through the crack in the door.

It didn't matter that Sha Zhu saw it, his eyes immediately turned red.

Yan Jiecheng's breathing immediately became rapid. He was very envious of the scene. He had never dreamed of such a scene.

Inside the house, Qin Huairu sat on Cui Dake's lap with her shirt completely open. Cui Dake kept rubbing Qin Huairu's headlights with his hands, and Qin Huairu looked very happy.

At the same time, he did not forget to feed Cui Dake himself.

"Sister Qin."

"Call me sister."

"Sister, you are such a good sister to me. You bring me food so early in the morning."

"Dake, I'm so good to you, how are you going to repay me?"

"Sister, don't worry. Let's not talk about the two hundred dollars. We are just friends. Just bring me a meal every morning. And don't worry, I will never let you go hungry. I will definitely feed you well."

"Dake, I'm so touched. Come and have another bite."

"Sister, the steamed buns made of two-grain flour are not tasty."

"Then what is delicious?"

"The big, white meat buns are delicious. I like them."

After saying that, Cui Dake lay on Qin Huairu's chest.

Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng, who were standing outside the door, stared with their eyes wide open.

Their eyes were red. Sha Zhu covered Yan Jiecheng's mouth, and Yan Jiecheng covered Sha Zhu's mouth, trying their best to prevent the other from making any sound.

"Dake, I'm going back first."

"Okay, sister. I'll get you a few pounds of pork belly tonight. It will nourish your body, especially the front and rear headlights."

"Dake, you are so bad."

Qin Huairu stood up, straightened her clothes, packed up, and prepared to leave. As soon as she turned around, Cui Dake touched the rear headlights twice. Qin Huairu's body softened and her face was flushed.

After a while, Qin Huairu returned to normal, packed up her lunch box, and prepared to open the door.

Outside the door, Yan Jiecheng and Sha Zhu, holding each other's hands, staggered to the gate. They leaned against the wall, panting, and ignored each other.

"Made."

After a while, these two words popped out of Sha Zhu's mouth.

Yan Jiecheng taunted, "Silly Zhu, what do you think?"

"I.."

Sha Zhu punched the wall. The severe pain could not cover up the loss in his heart. His bright moonlight was shining on someone else.

"Oh, damn, I didn't expect Cui Dake to get there first. Damn it."

Yan Jiecheng cursed a few words angrily, then turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Sha Zhu followed closely behind, his face ashen, his eyes full of anger, his fists clenched, veins bulging on his neck, it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress his rage.

"Silly, why are you following me?"

"Yan Jiecheng, who's following you? I'm going home to apply some medicine. Yan Jiecheng, why are you going back home if you're not going to work?"

"Me? Damn, I'm going to go back and change my clothes."

"Changing clothes?"

Shazhu was stunned for a moment. Why should he change his clothes?

When Sha Zhu finished applying the medicine and came out, he happened to meet Qin Huairu again.

After leaving the door, Sha Zhu grabbed Qin Huairu and angrily said, "Qin Huairu, why? How am I not as good as Cui Dake?"

After hearing Sha Zhu's suppressed roar, Qin Huairu's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that Sha Zhu saw everything outside Cui Dake's door just now?

Qin Huairu pretended to be calm and shook off Sha Zhu's hand, and shouted softly: "Sha Zhu, what do you mean?"

"Qin Huairu, stop pretending. I saw everything."

"Silly Zhu, if I say Cui Dake forced me to do this, would you believe me?"

Qin Huairu is no simple person either. Just based on her tears and her ability to respond at any time, she could easily win the Best Actress or Best Actress award in the future.

"Qin Huairu, put away your tears. I saw it all. You don't look like you were forced to do that."

"Haha, idiot, what can you do if you see it? What? Do you want to report me? Or are you trying to blackmail me into doing something?"

Since Shazhu saw everything, Qin Huairu stopped pretending. There was no point in pretending anymore.

"Qin Huairu, tell me, why did you choose Cui Dake?"

"Why? Because Cui Dake has both the heart and the guts to commit a crime."

While Sha Zhu was stunned, Qin Huairu ran away. She was also afraid that Sha Zhu's daze would come out and they would really start a fight in the alley, which might become known to everyone.

Thinking of what Sha Zhu had just said, Qin Huairu felt a little scared. She thought to herself that she must be more careful in the future, especially not do anything stupid in the morning. Now that the idiot Sha Zhu had seen it.

But she was also glad that Sha Zhu saw it. Based on Qin Huairu's understanding of Sha Zhu, even if Sha Zhu was unhappy, he could only bury the matter deep in his heart.

After Qin Huairu ran far away, Sha Zhu came back to his senses. He seemed to understand that Qin Huairu's last sentence was a reminder to him that in the future he should not only have the heart to steal, but also the courage to steal.
