Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

Deputy Director Qiu thought to himself, go to his house for dinner? That's a good thing, Zhang Zhiqiang and his wife can't touch him anymore, right?

"Qiangzi, this is what you said, you can't go back on your word."

"I'll go buy groceries after get off work. Be sure to come and ask your Aunt Zhou to make two more dishes for you."

Deputy Director Qiu decided the matter immediately, as if he was afraid that Zhang Zhiqiang would go back on his word.

"Okay, then I'll take my wife there this afternoon."

Zhang Zhiqiang nodded and said, this is how relationships are, you have to visit each other often, otherwise you will become estranged.

"Well, okay."

"Tell me what you have to ask me this time. I will solve it for you if I can."

After chatting about family matters for a while, Deputy Director Qiu asked.

He felt that Zhang Zhiqiang must have something to do this time. Since he was his nephew, it wouldn't be wrong to take care of him, so he asked.

"Uncle, look at what you said. I'm fine. I just want to eat the meal Aunt Zhou made. I came to tell you."

Zhang Zhiqiang shook his head. He really had nothing to do this time.

"Okay, then you can come this afternoon."

Upon seeing this, Deputy Director Qiu nodded and agreed.

"Okay, then uncle, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go to work first. See you in the afternoon."

"Okay, see you in the afternoon."

Deputy Director Qiu watched Zhang Zhiqiang walk out of the door.

Zhang Zhiqiang didn't have any other intentions. He just thought that he got 20 watermelons by signing in, but he couldn't finish them if he kept them, so he might as well give them away to maintain relationships.

Then Zhang Zhiqiang returned to his workstation. At noon, Zhang Zhiqiang did not eat in the cafeteria, but rode his bike to Meiman Courtyard.

"System, take two watermelons."

Zhang Zhiqiang took out two watermelons and prepared to give them to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. In order to make them less conspicuous, he specially found an opaque cloth bag.

As a filial son-in-law, of course I will not forget my father-in-law and mother-in-law when I get good things.

The words are divided into two parts.

The old couple of the Ran family were preparing to eat. They were eating steamed buns made of two-grain flour and some fried shredded potatoes. This meal was quite good.

"I don't know when Qiuye will come back. It's been a long time since I went home."

Ran's father complained dissatisfiedly. He complained like this every once in a while.

"Haha, the girl is already married, how can she come back every day?"

"Besides, she and Qiangzi both have to go to work and are very busy, so they have no time to come back."

Ran's mother understood the young couple very well and comforted them with a smile.

"Humph, don't mention that Zhang Zhiqiang. He made me lose face in front of the masters in the courtyard."

Father Ran said angrily.

After Zhang Zhiqiang and his wife left last time, Ran's father became arrogant and brought a stool to play chess with the old men in the yard.

When he first arrived, he was full of confidence and even boasted that he was the chess god of Meiman Siheyuan and that none of the big guys in Go could beat him.

As a result, the fifth piece gave way, and Ran's father was checked after only taking a dozen steps. He was sweating profusely.

Later, the five sons were not allowed to compete, and the two competed fairly. Ran's father thought that there would be no problem now, right? In the end, he died even faster.

No matter how stupid Mr. Ran was, he should have realized by now that Zhang Zhiqiang must have been giving in to him.

Think about Zhang Zhiqiang's suggestive words again, wasn't he just teaching him how to play chess? Then Ran's father came back dejected.

This matter has been teased many times by the uncles in Meiman Siheyuan. When they see him, they call him the chess god. He is so afraid to go out that all of this is Zhang Zhiqiang's fault.

"Then Qiangzi is doing this for your own good. It's you who decided to go find the old man in the courtyard. What does it have to do with Qiangzi?"

Ran's mother didn't give Ran's father any face and spoke directly.

Ran's father said bad things about Zhang Zhiqiang, which of course made Ran's mother unhappy. Zhang Zhiqiang was filial and even bought her a sewing machine. This sewing machine was very easy to use and it could make her do manual work several times faster. She definitely couldn't let Ran's father say what he wanted.

Father Ran twitched his lips. It seemed as if they were a family and he was the only outsider.

"Just wait and see if I treat him well or not if he comes again."

Father Ran said stubbornly, taking a bite of the steamed bun viciously.

"Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you."

Zhang Zhiqiang's voice rang out in the yard and reached the ears of Ran's father and mother.

Father Ran was stunned for a moment. How come Zhang Zhiqiang came right after he finished talking about it? Was he hallucinating?

Ran's mother had a happy expression on her face and stood up to go see her son-in-law.

"Hey, Qiangzi is here, come in, come in, you always bring something with you, look here."

"It's not easy for you two to earn money, so stop buying things for the family all the time."

Seeing many people in the yard enjoying the cool under the trees, Ran's mother deliberately spoke loudly.

Zhang Zhiqiang knew that his mother-in-law was good in every way except that she was a little bit fond of showing off, and he was happy to satisfy her.

"Mom, this is what I should do. I've been a little busy at the factory lately and haven't come to see you for a long time."

Zhang Zhiqiang locked the car and said to Ran's mother with a smile.

"Okay, you haven't eaten yet, I've made dinner at home, come in and eat."

Ran's mother took Zhang Zhiqiang's arm and took him home.

"This son-in-law of the Ran family is really great. He brings a lot of bags every time he comes."

"Who said it wasn't? I bought a sewing machine a while ago, and it made Qiuye's mother very proud during this period."

"Ah, who can blame me for having such a good son-in-law? I heard that he is already a level 7 worker at such a young age, and he earns quite a bit every month."

"That's because I didn't insist at the beginning, otherwise it would have been the Ran family's turn. The daughter of my second aunt's son is much prettier than Ran Qiuye. I should have introduced them to each other earlier."

…………

The middle-aged ladies who were enjoying the cool under the big tree were talking at the same time.

His tone was full of envy, and one can only say that jealousy makes people unrecognizable.

They all live in the same compound and lead similar lives. Suddenly, one family marries off a daughter and their lives get better. Wouldn't that make others envious?

But there is no way, sooner or later they will have to ask the Ran family for help and use their sewing machines.

Ran's mother happily took Zhang Zhiqiang back home.

"Old Ran, Qiangzi is here."

Ran's mother greeted Ran's father.

Father Ran sat in front of the dining table with a sullen face, as if someone owed him a few hundred dollars, but his eyes kept glancing at the bag that Zhang Zhiqiang brought. He was a little curious and didn't know what his son-in-law had brought this time.

"Dad, I'm here to see you."

Zhang Zhiqiang greeted with a smile and put the bag in his hand on the ground.

"Ah."

Father Ran hummed coldly and said nothing else.

Zhang Zhiqiang looked a little strange. He didn't know why Ran's father had such an attitude. Could he really be looking for someone to play chess with?

"Qiangzi, don't worry about him. What are you holding? It's so bulging."

Ran's mother asked curiously.

"Mom, this is good stuff, you'll know when you open the bag."

Zhang Zhiqiang kept the secret, saying that sandy watermelons are a rare commodity and are hard to get in the city, let alone one that is this fresh.

"Ah! Watermelon."

The Ran family is a scholarly family, and Ran's mother is knowledgeable. She has eaten watermelon before. If the neighbors outside saw it, they might not know what it was.

Hearing Ran's mother's surprised voice, Ran's father couldn't help but run over. Watermelon is not easy to get. He hasn't eaten it for a long time, and he doesn't know where Zhang Zhiqiang got it.
