Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Time passed in a flash. The late autumn noon was still a little hot. After the crazy time, the two people came back and said goodbye on Qianmen Street. Lou Xiao'e hurriedly walked towards the Lou family villa. Zhang Renkang sighed, rode his bike to the street office, and took out two canned yellow peaches from the space at the intersection of the street office while no one was paying attention, put them in his arms and walked in.

As soon as I entered the subdistrict office compound, I saw Director Wang coming out. When he saw Zhang Renkang, he walked up to him and asked him kindly:

"Renkang, why are you here? Are Yi Zhonghai and the others causing trouble for you again? Tell Aunt Wang and she will help you vent your anger."

It turned out that Director Wang's wife was a retired soldier from the same army as his father. In addition, his father was the deputy director of the local police station and was familiar with Director Wang, and they often worked together. So after his mother passed away, Yi Zhonghai helped the Jia family try to seize his house. After hearing about it, Director Wang came forward to denounce it and reported it to the steel rolling mill for resolution, which resulted in Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu being demoted and fined. Yi Zhonghai's uncle was also laid off at that time, but Yi Zhonghai had accumulated power for a long time, so people in the yard still flattered him as the uncle.

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Auntie Wang, I just passed the exam to become an "eighth-level chef". I just figured things out these few days and came to see you after taking a break."

Then he took out two cans of yellow peaches from his pocket and said

"I am a junior and I don't have any good qualities, please don't despise me."

Director Wang looked at the son of her comrade with satisfaction. He was too weak before, but fortunately he has grown a lot in the past six months. Finally, she can give an explanation to Zhang Yuguo. She said with a little dissatisfaction:

"You kid, why are you being so polite to your aunt? Why don't you save the money you earn to marry a wife? Why spend it so recklessly?"

"You are not a child anymore. I will go find matchmaker Wang to find you a wife in a few days."

"You're getting married and you're going to have a lot more money to spend. Don't spend it recklessly. Do you hear me?"

Zhang Renkang felt very kind when he heard Director Wang's scolding tone. He remembered that his mother in his previous life was also reluctant to spend money on her. Hearing Director Wang's caring rebuke, Zhang Renkang touched his head and smiled.

"Auntie Wang, don't be impatient, just listen to me."

"I passed the exam to become an eighth-level chef, and the factory let me be the team leader of the kitchen. They also gave me a few canned food tickets as a reward. I bought some to honor you."

Director Wang smiled as Zhang Renkang took it. She knew it was a token of his child's love. She said

"You, don't do it again. You should save some money. I will ask Matchmaker Wang if there is a suitable girl. Then you can marry her to me."

"The family needs a caring and considerate wife to take care of things"

Zhang Renkang smiled awkwardly and said

"Auntie Wang, let's not rush. I came here to ask you if there is a good construction team on this street."

Director Wang saw this in confusion and asked

"What's wrong? Is there a water leak in the house or something?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"That's not the case. I've recovered in the past six months. My house has been a mess. I plan to clean it up and redecorate it. Then it will be easier for me to get married."

When Director Wang heard this, he smiled and asked, "This is a good thing!"

"Are you talking about something? When did it happen? It seems like you have really grown up. This is a good thing. Captain Wang from the decoration team has gone to work. Go home and wait. I will ask him to come find you this afternoon and show you around."

Zhang Renkang nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll go home and wait, Aunt Wang, I'll go first and not disturb you at work."

Director Wang smiled as she saw Zhang Renkang out. She watched him ride his bike to the courtyard and looked at the two cans in her hand with a sweet heart. The child had finally grown up. She could rest assured to have an explanation with her old comrade in the future. Hey, this kid even has a bicycle. Zhang Renkang just parked his bike in front of the street office. Director Wang didn't react for a while. Director Wang thought that she had to go to the steel mill to understand the child's current situation and make sure there were no problems.

Zhang Renkang returned to the courtyard. It was one or two o'clock in the afternoon and the courtyard was deserted. There were only a few middle-aged women in a corner who were muttering something. When they saw Zhang Renkang coming back, they smiled and greeted him. Zhang Renkang greeted the middle-aged women and went home.

In the evening, Qin Huairu, who was exhausted from traveling, led a pretty girl into the courtyard. As soon as they entered the front yard, Yan Bugui saw them. Yan Bugui asked curiously:

"Qin Huairu, who is behind you? What are you doing in the courtyard?"

The three uncles were responsible for questioning strangers entering the yard. This was also to prevent some spies from causing damage. After all, at this time, some spies were often airdropped into the island, so Yan Bugui would first ask the identity of the visitor.

Qin Huairu naturally knew this, and returned to

"Uncle, this is my cousin, Qin Jingru. She came with me to the city to play for a few days and will stay at our house for the time being."

As he spoke, he handed Qin Jingru's letter of introduction to Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui looked at it again and again at the seal of the Qinjia Village Commune in the lower right corner, then nodded and handed it to Qin Huairu.

"Did you go back to your parents' home today? No wonder I didn't see you come out today."

Qin Huairu said with a smile

"Yes, I haven't been back for a long time. When I came back, my cousin insisted on going to the city with me to broaden my horizons, so I brought her along."

"Uncle, you are busy, we will go back first."

After that, he took Qin Jingru through the hanging flower gate and went to the central courtyard. Yan Bugui looked at Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru thoughtfully. He didn't believe that Qin Huairu would take her cousin to the city to play. He didn't know what kind of people the Jia family was. Let alone relatives from the country, even if a mouse entered the Jia family, they would have to leave the meat. Could they bear to have one more mouth to feed?

What is the Jia family up to?

Qin Huairu returned to the central courtyard but was stopped by Sha Zhu before she even entered the house. It turned out that he saw Qin Huairu coming back from the window, followed by a girl who was as pretty as Qin Huairu. Sha Zhu's eyes were fixed on her. When he saw Qin Huairu entering the house, Sha Zhu couldn't wait any longer.

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin"

Sha Zhu came out quickly and stared at Qin Jingru blankly. When Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu like this, she quickly shouted

"Zhu Zi, is there anything you need from me?"

Sha Zhu finally reacted and said with a silly smile

"I saw you were not in the yard for a day, and wondered what you were doing."

"Sister Qin, who is this female comrade?"

Qin Huairu laughed dryly and said

"My cousin from the countryside, she came with me to play for two days"

"Zhu Zi, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back first."

Sha Zhu said with a smile

"Sister, I haven't married yet, why don't you introduce me to someone?"

At this time, Jia Zhang came out of the room, put her hands on her waist and scolded

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing blocking my door?"

"Do you know shame?"

"Get lost"

He motioned Qin Huairu to bring Qin Jingru into the house. Seeing Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru enter the house, Sha Zhu reluctantly looked at Jia Zhangshi and said with a smile:

"Aunt Jia, I saw Sister Qin brought guests here, so I asked if there was anything I could help with."

Jia Zhang said arrogantly

"Help, what kind of help are you offering? You see that there are guests at my house, why don't you go and prepare some meat and vegetables for me? Why are you standing there blocking the way?"

Shazhu smiled awkwardly and said

"Auntie, where is the meat now? I'll just give you some cornmeal. Do you want it?"

Jia Zhang said disdainfully

"You are so kind to give me some corn flour. Take it. I just need to make some steamed buns tonight."

Sha Zhu went back to the house to get corn flour in a bad mood. He paid a bag of corn flour without asking the person clearly. Qin Jingru asked Qin Huairu in the house

"Sister, who is that uncle? Is he familiar with your family?"

Qin Huairu said helplessly

"He is only 28 years old, he just looks old, he used to be the chef in the factory"

Qin Huairu didn't want to tell the truth to Qin Jingru now. She was still thinking that if Zhang Renkang didn't work out, she would see if Sha Zhu could go back to the cafeteria. If he could, she could tell Sha Zhu about Qin Jingru.
