Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

Qin Huairu was a good worker and she was very fast at packing things up. In the blink of an eye, she had put her and Banggeng's clothes in order.

Qin Huairu walked out of the inner room carrying the package, wiped the sweat from her forehead, walked to the table, and said to the Jia family mother and son in a gentle voice: "Mom, Dongxu, then I will go with Jingru."

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up." When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's words, her face was full of impatience, as if the two sisters were a stumbling block to her enjoying the braised pork.

"Yeah, Jingru, you and your sister should be careful on the road. Come to the city to visit your sister when you have time. Your sister is unfamiliar with this city, so you can come and stay with her when you have time." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

But he didn't know that Qin Jingru had sworn in her heart that she would never set foot in her cousin's house again after staying here for a while. The so-called cousin's husband had been staring at her like a hungry wolf since she stepped into the room, making her feel uncomfortable. Qin Huairu was thinking about his mother and didn't pay attention to such things.

"Hey... I'll come back when I'm free, brother-in-law. My sister and I will leave now." After Qin Jingru finished speaking, she didn't care whether Jia Dongxu responded or not. She hurriedly ran out of the door holding the stick, fearing that Jia Dongxu would say something unbearable again.

"Hey, come and visit when you have time." Jia Dongxu replied tactlessly.

After leaving the courtyard, Qin Jingru ran out of the gate holding the stick without looking back. Seeing this, Qin Huairu hurried to catch up. As the three of them left the courtyard, Qin Jingru was holding the stick and hurriedly walking towards the station. Qin Huairu quickly stopped her: "Jingru, come back, where are you going?"

"Sister, aren't we going to the station? Aren't we taking this road?" Qin Jingru asked with a puzzled look on her face, holding the stick.

"I've been away from home for so long, I can't go back empty-handed, right? Let's go buy some things before we go back. You've come to this city with great difficulty, so I have to buy you some gifts." Qin Huairu has always been generous to her family, but Jia Zhang has been very stingy with her over the years, and Jia Dongxu's own pocket money is not enough for him to squander, so how could he have any spare money to give to Qin Huairu?

"Ah? Sister, didn't auntie just give you three dollars? Is that enough?" Qin Jingru asked curiously, blinking her big watery eyes.

"It's okay, sister has money, come with me." Qin Huairu smiled and replied.

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Qin Jingru did not hesitate and followed Qin Huairu holding the stick.

On the other side, Su Xingchen, led by Wang Gou, came to a small restaurant on the edge of the city.

"Brother Gou, if the food today doesn't taste good, I'll have to settle the score with you. We're almost out of town, and you can't let me make a wasted trip." Su Xingchen said jokingly.

"Look at what you said. Follow me and I will definitely give you a feast. Don't worry!" Wang Gou patted Su Xingchen's shoulder and strode into this seemingly simple little restaurant. If it weren't for Wang Gou leading the way, Su Xingchen would never have stepped into such a restaurant.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, you're here. What would you like to eat today?" A dark-skinned, tall and thin man greeted Wang Gou with a smile on his face when he saw him come in.

"Uncle Zhang, I brought a friend here today. Please prepare a few dishes. We must let him see our unparalleled cooking skills!" Wang Gou said, pointing at Su Xingchen behind him.

"Okay! You haven't been here for a while, I thought you were on a business trip."

"How can that be possible? I've been too busy lately and just had a break these past two days. Then my friend and I will go there first."

"Okay, you two sit here for a while and chat. I'll ask someone to cook for you in the back." After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen.

Wang Gou took Su Xingchen into a small private room. Compared to the simplicity of the store, the style of the private room was very different. Although it was a small private room, it was antique, with solid wood tables and chairs, landscape paintings on the wall, and a tea table behind a screen, also made of solid wood. As for the authenticity of the painting, Su Xingchen had no way of knowing.

"Brother Gou, I didn't expect you to have such a leisurely side?" Looking at the room in front of him, Su Xingchen couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that Wang Gou, who advocated martial arts, would actually like such an elegant place. Wouldn't such a place be considered petty bourgeois? Su Xingchen was full of doubts at the moment and couldn't help asking Wang Gou questions.

"Hey, how could I like this kind of thing? I'm just an ordinary person. I came here to eat a few times with my old man last time. The taste is really good. As for the mood of it, I really don't care. I just like the taste. You'll know when you try it later. It will definitely give you a surprise." Wang Gou pulled out a stool and sat down.

"Okay, then I'll look forward to it and see what it tastes like." Hearing Wang Gou say that his old man would also come here, Su Xingchen guessed that this restaurant should not be simple, otherwise it would be impossible for them to come here to eat.

"By the way, Brother Gou, what do you do? Is it the same as Brother Tian?" Su Xingchen asked curiously.

"Yes, but I just came back from the army. I spent two years in the army, and I really couldn't stand too many rules. I didn't want to be controlled by anyone since I was a child. So I came back to be a public security officer." Wang Gou took a sip of water and said to Su Xingchen.

"But it's okay. My older brother and second brother are both out of town, and the family is in need of someone to take care of them. My sister is still in school, so if there's anything going on at home, I have to go."

Su Xingchen nodded, "Indeed, that's right. The family still needs to be taken care of. But having many brothers and sisters is also a good thing. Unlike me, I'm the only one at home, and I don't have any brothers and sisters to discuss anything with."

"Hey, who said it wasn't. By the way, I haven't asked you what you are doing now?"

"I'm still a student, in the same class as Tian Ge's sister and Xu Mengjie. It was just because I happened to run into Xu Mengjie in the China Bookstore that day that Liu Zihao wanted to pick a fight with me." Su Xingchen explained helplessly.

"Hahaha, that's what I thought. Liu Zihao has always been a bully since he was a child. But I'm not here to support him today."

Wang Gou paused and continued, "You can see that I am actually pursuing martial arts, especially when I saw the fist marks on their bodies that day, I wanted to fight back against you. After all, there are not many young people in the Forty-Nine City who can match me."

"Brother Gou, no need to say more. I can see today that you are a person of temperament. We became friends after a fight. If you want to come in the future, I will definitely risk my life to accompany you." Su Xingchen waved his hand and said.

"You? Forget it, I can't beat you!"
