Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"Zhao Xiyan, you actually don't have to go to the countryside." Wang Yinuo said softly.

"You don't have to go to the countryside." Zhao Xiyan chuckled, "You have a company and are a deputy section chief... Your starting point is already very high, why do you want to go to the countryside?"

"My grandfather asked me to go."

Wang Yinuo sighed, "Many of my grandfather's comrades' children went to the countryside. Every time he met his comrades... others said he did not respond to the policy."

"No, you have a job, why go to the countryside?" Zhao Xiyan said helplessly, "For a little face... As for that, going to the countryside is not fun."

It sounds quite romantic to think of educated youth going to the countryside.

But only they themselves know the hardships involved.

The best are farmers, and the worst are also farmers.

"It's not for face."

Wang Yinuo sighed, "My father is the only son, and I am the only daughter of my parents...If I go to the countryside, I will serve as a role model."

"Well."

Zhao Xiyan looked at her, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"My grandfather said that with your intelligence and talent, you can definitely go to the ministries and compete with Wang Fuqing and others... Now you are going to the countryside in disgrace, which is probably intentional." Wang Yinuo said with a smile.

"What does your grandfather know?"

Zhao Xiyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Sister, if I had a family like yours to back me up... I wouldn't mind fighting in a ring. What kind of family do I have? I'm from a peasant family, and my parents are gone."

"If I go and compete with Wang Fuqing, what good will it do me? What good will it do to the Ministry of Industry?"

……

Wang Yinuo fell silent.

Zhao Xiyan's words hit the nail on the head.

Even if he brought down Wang Fuqing, what would that do?

Others will just think he is aggressive and difficult to get along with.

No one likes such subordinates, and their final outcome will probably not be good.

"There are some things that you can't understand unless you are in the game." Zhao Xiyan lit a cigarette, "Sister Qin, let's have some cabbage... I'm a little tired of eating meat."

"Eh."

Qin Huairu immediately put the chopped cabbage into the hot pot.

"Wow, this cabbage is so delicious when made into hotpot?" Yu Haitang exclaimed.

"Believe it or not, it would still taste good even if you put your shoe soles in it?" Zhao Xiyan joked.

Phew!

Everyone laughed.

"Hate it, don't say such disgusting things while we are eating."

Yu Haitang rolled her eyes at him.

The hotpot meal lasted for more than an hour. Everyone was so tired that they didn't want to move and collapsed in the fire box.

"Nuo Nuo, do you want to take a shower?" Zhang Youyi said with a smile, "There are many people in our yard... but there is only one toilet. If you don't take a shower now, it will be late at night."

"Well, I'll go boil some water myself." Wang Yinuo stood up and said.

"No need to boil water, we have... a boiler at home." Zhang Youyi lied.

"Well, there is a boiler at home?" Wang Yinuo asked in surprise.

There are indeed some units that provide hot water 24 hours a day.

They also use the boiler room. Not to mention private units, even ordinary units don’t have such treatment.

"You listen to her nonsense."

Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded, "The hot water in our house is connected to the street bathhouse... Anyway, they boil hot water every day, so it doesn't matter if we use some."

"So that's it."

Wang Yinuo suddenly realized and followed Zhang Youyi out.

Qin Huairu, An Xin and Lin Lu went to clean up the dishes, leaving Zhao Xiyan and the Yu sisters alone in the study. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Zhao Xiyan, do you like my sister?"

"what?"

Zhao Xiyan looked at Yu Haitang in surprise, "Sister, don't you know about my family situation? I like your sister? I also like you."

"Ah? You like me?"

Yu Haitang's pretty face turned red all of a sudden.

"Screw you."

Yu Li laughed and scolded, "He was laughing at you, but you took it seriously."

"Well, Yu Li is a smart person." Zhao Xiyan chuckled, "I know what you are thinking... But I can't even predict my own future, so how can I talk about a future for you?"

"your future?"

Yu Haitang was a little hesitant.

"Go to the countryside."

Zhao Xiyan sighed, "This time... it could be as short as one or two years, or as long as ten or eight years. You are twenty years old this year. If you follow me, it would be like being a widow, don't you know?"

"This...going to the countryside is not like going to jail. I...we can also go to the countryside to see you." Yu Li said in a low voice.

"What do you think the countryside is?"

Zhao Xiyan pointed at himself and said, "If I were just an ordinary educated youth, it would be fine. I am here to be the village chief... I don't know how many people in the village are watching me. If you come to find me, you are harming me."

……

These words immediately silenced the Yu sisters.

The separation between men and women in the countryside is stricter than in the city.

After all, the village is so small, who doesn’t know who?

"Zhao Xiyan, if...if I graduate from college and you come back, I will follow you, okay?" Yu Haitang said seriously.

"not good."

Zhao Xiyan refused, "First of all, your parents won't agree... Besides, if we are together, you can't even have children, and you can't register them."

"Then why can Lou Xiaoe do it?" Yu Li frowned.

"Because she is married, although not to me." Zhao Xiyan said seriously, "Her father has some tricks... He got someone to marry her, so she can have children legitimately."

"What about Anxin?" Yu Haitang asked unconvinced.

"To be honest, I don't know either."

Zhao Xiyan shook his head and said, "She said she had a way to solve it, but I don't know what it is..."

Marriage is very strict nowadays. Although it is just a handwritten "marriage certificate", the street office is very clear about your situation.

"I...I can just find someone to marry first and then get divorced, right?" Yu Haitang said with a blushing face.

"You really have the mindset of a child."

Zhao Xiyan lit a cigarette. "You are married to someone else. What if that person doesn't want to divorce you? What if he wants to take your body? It's not that easy."

Yu Haitang and Yu Li fell silent.

Every word Zhao Xiyan said made sense.

Of course, this is not unsolvable.

After all, people like Bei Qing made Liu Lan marry a dead person. This kind of operation really shocked Zhao Xiyan.

But he already had enough troubles now and didn't want to get into any more trouble.

Yu Haitang didn't say anything, but just sat next to Zhao Xiyan and reached out to hold his hand.

"Don't make trouble."

Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded, "Others are fine, but Wang Yinuo is a retired soldier... She can't tolerate any sand in her eyes, you'd better be careful."

"Hmph, coward."

Yu Haitang rolled her eyes at him but still held his hand.

After all, it's under the blanket, so no one can see it if someone comes.

Yu Li, who was standing by, was secretly shocked at how bold her sister was, for daring to be so intimate with Zhao Xiyan.
