Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 281 Killing Two Eagles with One Arrow

The person Qin Mancang was actually referring to was Qin Huairu.

Unlike Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu was the real flower of Xingshou Commune. She was pretty, smart and good at speaking. Everyone in the village gave her a thumbs up and praised her when she mentioned her.

Later, when they talked about marriage in the city, his eldest brother Qin Mantun boasted to everyone that his daughter had married a city man and was living a good life. At that time, he really enjoyed a great time.

It was only later that I found out that Qin Huairu had married a poor man. The bride price was five yuan, and there was almost no betrothal gift, let alone the thought of bringing help to her parents' home.

Compared to Qin Huairu, who is smart and eloquent, her own daughter is much more honest.

She is well-behaved and obedient, and believes whatever her family says. She is the kind of person who obeys her father at home and her husband after marriage. To her, men are her heaven.

Although she is pretty, she looks a bit silly and cannot compare to Qin Huairu's versatile personality.

Compared to Qin Huairu when she was young, if we have to say her advantage, it is just that she is luckier:

When she went to the river to wash clothes, fish would jump into her arms;

You can find a rabbit nest when you go to the fields to pull weeds;

It is worth mentioning that you can pick up money from time to time, although it is only five cents or ten cents, but you can really come across it once every few days;

The most outrageous thing was when my eldest brother Qin Jinghua got married ten years ago. At that time, the betrothal money was not enough and the whole family was worried about it. But the next day, this girl picked up a five-yuan bill! The family members were shocked.

(Don’t worry about where the five dollars came from. Smart people already know.)

But such a daughter, who was inferior to Qin Huairu in every aspect, brought back an excellent son-in-law to her family.

To be honest, Qin Mancang only has one daughter, Qin Jingru. Otherwise, he would want to give her more daughters. He feels that Qin Jingru alone is not good enough for him!

No!

In terms of looks, Qin Jingru is pretty, but Wang Hongtao is not bad either, with a straight height, strong build, and a rare strong young man in the area. (In the eyes of the older generation, handsomeness is not important, but being strong and capable of working is what matters most.)

Not to mention her abilities, Qin Jingru is just like her mother, an ordinary, honest country girl who can do nothing but farm work and housework.

Wang Hongtao became a cadre within less than half a year after entering the city, and he even brought his second son into the city to eat the emperor's food. If he were in the future, he would be a beggar version of Director Qi!

The key point is that this child is not stingy. He gave so much food to the girl's family the first time he visited them.

Nowadays, which family doesn’t hide their food well?

Not to mention sons-in-law, even married daughters rarely send food to their parents' home.

For example, Qin Huairu has been married in the city for almost ten years, and only brought back some food two days ago.

It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

But when it came to Qin Mancang, it was like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, and the more he looked, the more confused he became.

After much thought, I can only conclude that Jingru is lucky and her good luck has continued to find a partner.

……

On the other side, Qin Huairu finished taking a shower and boiled some water. She was about to have lunch when she saw Wang Hongtao and Qin Jingru coming back talking and laughing.

"You're back so soon? Didn't her uncle invite you to have lunch?" Qin Huairu asked casually, but she had a small thorn in her heart.

"I stayed, but Brother Wang said he would come back to eat. Actually, I also want to come back to eat. I don't want to stay at home and eat steamed buns." Qin Jingru didn't notice anything wrong and said playfully.

"By the way, sister, Brother Wang told my dad about your bag of cornmeal. He said you asked us to bring it back. My second brother will deliver it to your house this afternoon."

"Oh."

"Well, I'll get you some hot scallion rolls. You guys sit down and rest for a while." Qin Huairu said this and stood up in a hurry, looking a little embarrassed.

Wang Hongtao looked at it and thought to himself, this woman still likes to be smart, but her vision is a little narrow.

……

After eating and drinking, Qin Jingru took the initiative to stand up to clean up the dishes, wipe the table and wash the dishes, busying herself around very actively.

After that, she started sweeping the floor and putting blankets and quilts on the kang. If Wang Hongtao hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to wipe the beams.

Wang Hongtao said with emotion: "Jingru, you are so diligent. In just a short while, this house has completely changed."

Qin Jingru didn't care. She licked her face and said happily, "Diligent, right? I really like to clean the house. Don't worry, I will keep the house clean with me here."

In her opinion, if a man is earning money outside, then she should do a good job of serving and take care of everything at home so that the man can work outside without any worries.

Wang Hongtao smiled and said, "That's enough. We'll only stay here for one night at most. The next time we come back it will be Chinese New Year. It will be just as dirty as it should be."

Qin Jingru stood still, glanced upwards, and after figuring it out, she replied sweetly, "Well, I'll listen to you!"

"What do you want for this afternoon? Do you want to go for a walk in the mountains or rest at home?" Wang Hongtao asked while leaning against the kang.

"Let's rest at home first? I... I'm a little tired." Qin Jingru said shyly.

Regardless of whether he was really tired or not, he really wanted to reward Wang Hongtao with a good meal.

Not only did he send food to her family, but he also nodded in agreement that he wanted to marry her. Qin Jingru was already very excited and didn't care about her cousin being present.

Wang Hongtao turned his head and looked at Qin Huairu with a smile and inquiring eyes.

"I...I'll listen to you..."

Qin Huairu had no confidence to begin with, and her little trick just now was seen through by Wang Hongtao, so she didn't have the courage to refuse.

……

in the future.

Three heads popped out from the thin quilt.

Wang Hongtao leaned against the kang, Qin Jingru nestled in his armpit, Qin Huairu stood up and lit a cigarette for him, then said faintly: "You finally succeeded, you must have been thinking about this for a long time, right?"

Wang Hongtao took a deep breath and then laughed heartily: "Of course, I've been waiting for this."

Qin Jingru kept her head down and was too embarrassed to speak, but Qin Huairu was much calmer: "I had expected this day to come a long time ago. I felt a little rebellious before it happened, but now that it has come to this, I don't think it's a big deal."

"Right, Jingru?"

As she said this, Qin Huairu pushed Qin Jingru, trying to pull her into the water.

"what?"

Qin Jingru poked her head out, still looking silly.

Wang Hongtao smiled and rubbed her head, then repeated, "Your sister said that she had long planned to serve me with you, and asked if you could accept it!"

Qin Jingru blinked her big eyes and said seriously: "Hasn't this been discussed long ago? You are my man and I must listen to you!"

"A capable man shouldn't just stay with one woman. This is a tradition passed down from our ancestors."

Wang Hongtao glanced at Qin Jingru and said lovingly, "You also said that those were the old rules. Now many of our ancestors' rules have been abolished."

When Qin Jingru was confused, Qin Huairu curled her lips in disdain: "That's just a move from the open to the hidden. The rules of our ancestors have been passed down for so many years, so there must be a reason for it."

"Let's not talk about those far away, let's talk about Aunt Cuihua who lives across from our house. Before I got married, I saw her coming out of the village party secretary's house early in the morning many times, carrying a bag of grain in her hands."

"I didn't understand at the time, so I asked my parents what was going on. They told me that I had borrowed it from the village party secretary. Now that I think about it, isn't that true?"

"More than ten years have passed and there have been no problems."

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Wang Hongtao felt inexplicably relieved. It turned out that this person was still a supporter of feudal customs. Recalling Qin Huairu in the original play:

She obeys her father at home, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband's death. She really adheres to the Three Obediences strictly. No wonder she is willing to stay in the quagmire of the Jia family.

Wang Hongtao coughed dryly a few times: "That was in the countryside. When I go to the city, I have to pay attention to the impact. Besides, I am a cadre now, and there are many people watching my position."

Qin Jingru blurted out: "Then you better be careful, you are my man, if something happens I won't be able to survive!"

Wang Hongtao embraced the two women and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will be careful even for you."

"Take another break. This is my first time with you two sisters."
