Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

in a few days

On the main road outside Qinjia Village

Zhang Renkang rode his bicycle with Qin Jingru to Qinjia Village

Qin Jingru sat nervously in the back seat, holding onto the corner of Zhang Renkang's clothes and asked anxiously

"Brother Renkang, is this okay?"

Zhang Renkang saw that Qin Jingru was a little flustered, so he stopped his bicycle and said with a smile

"Jingru, can you tell I'm like this?"

Zhang Renkang even changed his tone deliberately. Qin Jingru got off the bus and stood aside, looking at Zhang Renkang's face and figure again. When she heard his voice again, she shook her head in a silly way and asked curiously:

"Brother Renkang, how did you change? I can't recognize you anymore."

"If you hadn't turned into this in my room, I wouldn't have believed it was you."

Zhang Renkang said helplessly

"Jingru, remember this from now on"

"My name is Li Gui. I am from Yongcheng, Henan. After I was discharged from the army, I worked in the Second Machinery Factory in Sijiucheng. Now I have been sent to Sichuan to support the construction in the south."

"You only come back once a year, understand?"

Qin Jingru nodded and said

"I know, Brother Renkang. We were introduced to each other by Sister Li from the textile factory, and we are currently renting a house on Qianmen Street."

"You don't get housing when you're assigned abroad."

Zhang Renkang nodded and smiled

"You still call me Brother Renkang?"

Qin Jingru said shyly with a red face

"Boss, I'm not embarrassed."

Zhang Renkang touched Qin Jingru's little head and said with a smile

"We just got our marriage certificate yesterday, and we've even had our wedding night, so why are you embarrassed?"

Qin Jingru lowered her head shyly and whispered

"What are you talking about? It's not that hard."

Last night, Zhang Renkang and Qin Jingru tried the legend of ice and fire. Zhang Renkang experienced the throbbing that touched his soul. No wonder men like to keep a mistress outside. This mistress is more versatile than the original wife.

The two men pushed their bicycles toward Qinjia Village. It was less than a mile away, so they decided to just walk. Zhang Renkang looked at the two packs of Fengshou brand cigarettes and two bottles of Lianhuabai hanging on the handlebars, as well as two live old hens and two roosters. There were also more than 20 pounds of pork on the beam, two bags filled with candy and five or six canned goods, and two rolls of new gray cotton cloth.

As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I was stopped by an old man and two armed militiamen, who shouted

"What are you two doing in our village?"

Qin Jingru quickly shouted

"Fourth Grandpa, you don't know me, I'm Jingru"

As he spoke, he moved closer. The old man took a closer look and realized that this pretty girl in a bright red coat and small leather shoes was the daughter of the third brother. He quickly signaled the militia to put down their guns and said with a smile:

"Jingru?"

"It's really you. You're dressed so stylishly that even Fourth Grandpa didn't recognize you."

The two militiamen were stunned by Qin Jingru's fashionable and beautiful dress. They had basically never left the village, so how could they have seen such fashionable clothes? Qin Jingru herself was pretty, and she looked even more beautiful with the clothes.

Qin Jingru covered her mouth with one hand and smiled.

"Fourth Grandpa, I'm taking my partner home, so I won't talk to you any more."

"I'm going back first."

Qin Lao Si looked at Zhang Renkang blankly, then came back to his senses and smiled

"Jingru girl is looking for a partner in the city, what a happy event!"

Qin Laosi looked at Zhang Renkang pushing the cart with the things on it and said with a smile:

"This uncle is handsome"

"Not bad"

Zhang Renkang was originally 1.78 meters tall, with a square face and a resolute complexion. Now he has disguised himself to be 1.74 meters tall, about 30 years old, with a round face and chubby cheeks, looking like an honest worker.

Zhang Renkang took out a pack of Fengshou brand cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Qin Laosi.

"You are Fourth Grandpa, right? You always smoke."

"You always smoke"

Qin Laosi saw the unopened box of Fengshou cigarettes handed to him by Zhang Renkang, and he was happy. This son-in-law is not a bad person, but he still pushed it out with his hand and smiled.

"We can't do that. This is a good cigarette. It would be a waste if we smoke it."

Zhang Renkang stuffed Qin Laosi's arms and said with a smile

"Fourth Grandpa, you are too polite. We have two little brothers. Please give them some."

"Jingru and I will go home first."

As he said that, he followed Qin Jingru to the village. Qin Laosi watched them enter the village with a smile on his face. He was happy in his heart. This son-in-law of Jingru's family was not bad. Unlike the one from Laoer's family, he found a city guy and looked down on them, the country people.

The two young militiamen on the side had long coveted the pack of Fengshou brand cigarettes in Qin Laosi's hand. They had never tasted the good cigarettes in the city. Seeing their coveted look, Qin Laosi said unhappily:

"What are you looking at? The old man didn't say he wanted to keep it all for himself."

As he spoke, he carefully tore a small hole in the top of the cigarette box, tapped the bottom of the box a few times and two or three cigarettes popped out. Old Man Qin handed three to each of them and put one on his ear.

"This is what Jingru's boyfriend gave to me as a gift. You each take three, and the rest will be mine. Don't be greedy."

As he was afraid that he would crush the cigarette box, he picked it up with his handkerchief and walked towards the village, saying

"You two stay here and watch. I'll go back and take a look."

(It’s no exaggeration. I got my first box of Hardman in 88. At that time, it was yuan a box, which was even rarer than this. I smoked cigarettes for half a month. Can you imagine the scene where I had to take a few puffs of smoke after taking a puff?)

Zhang Renkang and Qin Jingru had only walked a few steps into the village when they were surrounded by several aunties and many children. One of the aunties said:

"Hey, isn't this Jingru from the third family?"

"You're back today? Who is this guy?"

Qin Jingru smiled and hugged Zhang Renkang's arm and said

"Aunt Four, this is my boyfriend, Li Gui, who works as a welder in the factory."

The aunt said enviously

"Jingru is getting married, why haven't we heard about it?"

Zhang Renkang grabbed a handful of candy and said with a smile

"Aunt Four, come and have some candy."

He handed the candies to the aunties and children and said with a smile

"I was ordered to go to the south to support construction some time ago. I will be back in a few years. So I took a leave and went home with Jingru."

The old lady laughed

"Go ahead, what a handsome boy"

"Jingru found a good family, and she's a worker."

Another muttered

"This young man is so polite, unlike the second brother's, who has no manners at all and his eyes are pointed up to the sky."

"That's right. The second son's family has come back a few times in the past one or two years. They haven't come again. Every time they come, they come empty-handed. They have to take this and that from my husband's family. They are really bored to death."

After Qin Huairu married Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhang looked down on country people. In addition, the conditions were not good at that time and there was a shortage of food in the countryside. She was afraid that Qin Huairu's poor relatives would go to the city to beg for money, so she didn't let Qin Huairu go back to her hometown often. Moreover, every time Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu came back, they either came back empty-handed or took food and things with them.

Jia Dongxu learned from Jia Zhang to look down on his father-in-law's family in the countryside. He always disliked this and that, which made Qin Laoer's family and relatives in the village very dissatisfied with them.

Zhang Renkang followed Qin Jingru home with a smile on his face, and a circle of children followed behind him, running and shouting.

"Sister Jingru's new son-in-law is here."

"Look at the new son-in-law"

Zhang Renkang smiled and held a handful of candy up to the sky, causing the children to scatter and go pick up the candy.

Qin Huairu's father is the third child in the family. His name is Qin Dahe. People in the village call him Qin Sanhe. Qin Dahe heard people shouting from a distance: Qin Jingru's new son-in-law is back.

The family quickly opened the door curtain, packed up, and walked to the gate to wait. From a distance, they saw a girl in red and a man in a Zhongshan suit pushing a bicycle coming over.

Qin Jingru saw Qin Dahe and Qin Liushi running forward excitedly and shouted

"Dad, Mom, I'm back"

Qin Dahe watched his daughter throw herself into Qin Liu's arms with a smile, and then saw Zhang Renkang walking over with a smile. He nervously touched his pants and walked forward to greet him.

Zhang Renkang saw Qin Sihe approaching and hurriedly called out

"Yes, Uncle Qin?"

"I'm Li Gui, a welder at the machinery factory. I came back with Jing Ru today."

Qin Dahe looked at Zhang Renkang, who looked neat and tidy, with a smile on his face. Then he looked at his bicycle and a cart of things. He had already recognized this son-in-law in his heart. This cart of things was much more valuable than the things Qin Huairu brought back with Jia Dongxu. It should be that Jia Dongxu's things were simply incomparable.

He stammered nervously.

"Li Gui, right? Come on, come in, come in."

Then he turned around and shouted

"What are you two doing standing there? Hurry up and help me push the cart. You have no sense at all."

Qin Jingru's two brothers hurried forward, nodding at Zhang Renkang with silly smiles. Zhang Renkang said with a smile:

"This is, the eldest brother and the second brother, right?"

"I am Li Gui, Jing Ru's boyfriend"

Qin Dahe has two sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Qin Mu, married a woman from the next village and currently has a son. His second son, Qin Lin, is three years older than Qin Jingru and has not yet married.

Qin Jingru looked at Zhang Renkang who was coming over and said with a smile

"Mom, this is the person I told you I was looking for. He works as a welder in a machinery factory."

His face turned red as he continued

"We have already obtained the marriage certificate, and I came back today to tell you about it."

Qin Liu said with a smile

"It's good to get the certificate, it's good to get the certificate"

"They are all good children, why don't you let your son-in-law come in and sit down for a while?"

Looking at the villagers gathered outside the fence, Qin Liu was very happy. She said with a smile, "My daughter's son-in-law is much better than the one from the second son's family."

"Look, you two kids, why are you buying these things when you just got married? Isn't this a waste of money?"

"Life is not like this for you guys, don't do it again in the future."

Qin Jingru said with a smile

"Mom, these are all bought by Brother Li Gui as a gift to you."

"Here are two rolls of new cloth, one for you and my second brother, and the other for my sister-in-law to make new clothes for my eldest brother and nephew."

As he spoke, he took two pieces of cotton cloth from the beam of the cart and handed them to Qin Mu and his sister-in-law at the back, and continued

"These are two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine that Brother Li Gui bought for my dad. They are both good cigarettes and good wines that people in the city smoke."

As he spoke, he handed the cigarettes and alcohol to Qin Dahe, who was grinning at the back, and said to his nephew:

"Is Hu Zi obedient at home?"

The chubby kid poked his head out from behind Qin Mu, nodded and said

"Aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Qin Jingru said with a smile

"These are canned fruits I bought for your mom and grandma. I also bought you some candies. You should eat them sparingly. It will hurt if you damage your teeth."

He made a face at Qin Dahu and said with a smile

"Sister-in-law, these four chickens are still alive. Ask my brother to build a chicken coop for them. You can lay eggs for our parents in the future."

Qin Mu's wife nodded and said with a smile

"Jingru, girl, how much does this cost?"

"You don't earn much money a month, so don't spend it like this in the future."

He took the cloth from Qin Mu and said with a smile

"Brother Mu, go lock the chickens in the woodshed and build a chicken coop tomorrow."

He smiled and pulled Qin Jingru and said

"My Jingru is pretty, and this son-in-law is not bad either, you two are a perfect match."
