Siheyuan: Cooking journey

He Yuzhu made up his mind to go and talk to an old man tomorrow.

He really had no idea whether the other party would listen or not.

He had only one thought in his mind: do whatever you can, it's better than just standing there and doing nothing.

The night is getting darker.

The courtyard gradually became quiet.

At the Qin family's place.

"Sister, I really know I was wrong. Can you please not let me go back to my hometown? I swear that I will take good care of Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua in the future, and things like what happened yesterday will not happen again."

Qin Jingru's eyes were red, tears were welling up in her eyes, and she looked very frightened.

Qin Huairu glanced at her, her eyes were also red, and her tone was filled with warmth and helplessness:

"Jingru, as long as I have something to eat, I won't let you go back to the countryside.

"I brought you to the city because we are sisters, and I hope you can help take care of Xiao Huaihua and Xiaodang.

"But now, I really have no choice. My salary has been reduced by 5.5 yuan, and I only have 18 yuan left a month. I can't stop feeding Banggeng and his grandmother.

"I really don't have the ability to support another person. If you go back to the countryside, at least you can have something to eat. But here you will just starve.

"Sister, I..."

Qin Jingru couldn't stop crying. She had finally had a few days of full meals and she really didn't want to go back to the countryside and suffer hunger again.

"Jingru, don't worry, if my salary increases, I will take you back immediately.

Qin Huairu comforted him softly, "When you grow up a little bit, I will introduce you to a worker who earns thirty or forty per month.

“That way, you can become a city dweller in the future and never have to worry about food;

"We two sisters will have to endure some hardship in the next few years, but everything will be fine in the future."

"sister……"

Qin Jingru cried even harder. She didn't dare to hope for a better life in the future. She just hoped to have enough food to eat now.

Qin Huairu looked at her, her eyes as gentle as water, and said softly:

“After you return to the countryside, don’t marry someone just because you stutter. You must wait for me to pick you up and live a good life in the city.

"Yes, sister, I will listen to you and wait..."

Qin Jingru nodded while sobbing, her eyes blurred by tears.

Qin Huairu looked at her quietly, her eyes extremely gentle.

Just wait and hope that day will come.

......

next door.

He Yuzhu calmed down and stopped thinking about that old man.

During the break, he gently tapped Lou Xiao'e's forehead and said mysteriously:

"I have a gift for you, do you want it?"

"Humph, I don't care..."

Lou Xiao'e's face flushed and she rolled her eyes coquettishly. This guy gave her quite a lot of gifts.

Whenever I think about it, I feel ashamed.

"Hey, it's you who doesn't want it, it's not that I won't give it to you."

He Yuzhu pretended to express regret, and suddenly, like magic, an exquisite wooden comb appeared in the palm of his hand.

"It looks like this wooden comb is going to be given to Yu Shui."

"No, I want..."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes sparkled.

She pounced over like a little tiger and snatched the wooden comb. She felt so sweet in her heart and liked it more and more the more she looked at it.

"you made it yourself?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at him with tender eyes and expectation:

"Ah."

He Yuzhu gently embraced her and said softly:

“After you gave me the watch, I have been wondering what you women use frequently and every day in your life;

"Then I thought of a comb, so I made one for you. Do you like it?"

"I don't like it..."

Lou Xiao'e pouted her lips and buried her rosy face in his arms.

He Yuzhu smiled, not caring about her words, hugged her tighter, and asked with a smile:

"According to what you said, every time you see the watch you should think of me, then who should you think of every time you see the comb?"

"fool……"

Lou Xiao'e buried her face even deeper.

He Yuzhu hugged her, his heart filled with tenderness and sweetness, wishing that this moment would last forever.

For a while.

"There's another gift, do you want it?"

He Yuzhu asked gently.

"what gift?"

Lou Xiao'e was both curious and expectant, and her red face felt slightly hot.

He Yuzhu lowered his head.

The night returned to tranquility.

It seems not peaceful again.

The next morning.

On the way to work.

When passing by the front yard, the third uncle had a gloomy face and seemed to be in a bad mood.

He Yuzhu felt that his mood had inexplicably improved a lot.

Arrived at the cafeteria.

See the red mark on Qin Huairu's forehead.

He Yuzhu's mood became worse again. This guy was really cruel. He was willing to take ruthless actions and was cruel to himself.

Listening to Yu Li talking about new topics in a vivid manner.

He Yuzhu's mood improved again.

Thinking about that old man.

In the afternoon at leisure.

He Yuzhu went to the fitter's workshop and found the old man.

He came straight to the point and said without hiding anything:

"Qin Huairu's character is not very good, and her purpose of recognizing her relatives is not pure."

"I know she is not a grateful person. She must have her own purpose for doing this."

The old man nodded solemnly.

......

He Yuzhu was surprised. He didn't expect that the old man was so clear-headed and had already seen through Qin Huairu's character.

But even though we know what kind of person he is and what his purpose is, we still want to acknowledge him as our relative.

This is even more confusing.

"No matter what Qin Huairu's purpose is, I don't expect her to do anything in the future."

The old man saw his doubts, sighed and explained:

“It’s not easy for Qin Huairu, a woman, to support a family;

“No matter what she does or what her purpose is, the child is always innocent;

“Your aunt loves children very much. She used to be afraid of being alone at home during the day;

"It's great to have these two children to accompany us now. We don't have any other requests. We just hope that your aunt and I can have some children's laughter and joy in the future.

"These are enough."

......

He Yuzhu was silent.

The old man knows everything, what else can he say?

He understood the old man's thoughts and hoped that the old lady would not be so lonely in the future and would have the company of her children.

Even though he knew Qin Huairu had an ulterior motive, he was willing to accept her just because of this.

This is how things turned out.

He Yuzhu was in mixed mood.

What should I do if the child whom my aunt has placed her affection on turns out to be an ungrateful person in the future?

The point is, who would believe that a one-year-old, a three-year-old, or a four-year-old would be an ungrateful ungrateful person in the future? It is totally unconvincing.

Think briefly.

He Yuzhu said nothing more and did not try to persuade him any further.

I just can't help but wonder, is a person's character dominated by nature or is it more influenced by the environment? Is there any possibility of change?

Some people can turn over a new leaf and immediately become good people.

Some people turn over a new leaf, awaken completely, and gain a new life.

Since it can be changed, isn't it?

Is it because I know the future in advance that I have too deep a prejudice against two ignorant children?

He Yuzhu thought about it, but since there was no answer, he just let it go.

Regardless, it doesn’t matter whether you agree or not.

It’s my salary, so if you want to support me, just go ahead and support me.

Whether you are filial or not in the future is not the most important thing. At least you can call them grandpa and grandma and make them feel warmer.

This is the only hope of the uncle and aunt, so why stop them...
