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

There are so many people gathered together, one person per household, that even if there are some who are slacking off, the work efficiency is very high.

The road outside was moving forward at a rapid speed. After a while, Zhang Zhiqiang saw Aunt Zhou, who was directing in the front, holding her stomach with one hand and getting wet in the snow.

Zhang Zhiqiang was a little worried after seeing this. Although she had just become pregnant, she was pregnant after all. How could she keep getting wet in the snow like this?

"Auntie Zhou, why don't you go back and have a rest? It would be fine if you could just hold an umbrella."

Zhang Zhiqiang walked forward and asked with concern.

"When you're working, you call it position."

Aunt Zhou turned around and saw that it was Zhang Zhiqiang. After saying something, she continued to command her "million-strong army."

"?????"

Zhang Zhiqiang was full of questions. What was going on? Was Aunt Zhou in a bad mood today? He had just arrived and was already putting pressure on himself.

"Director Zhou?"

Zhang Zhiqiang called out tentatively.

"Well, let's hurry up and try to finish it in half an hour."

Aunt Zhou nodded and said something to Zhang Zhiqiang.

"it is good."

Zhang Zhiqiang failed and went back to continue sweeping the snow.

Things don't always go as we wish. The snow suddenly got heavier and heavier. The snow we cleared in front of us started falling again behind us, and all the snow we cleared just now was in vain.

"Everyone, go back first. We'll notify you once the snow stops."

Aunt Zhou saw that this was not going to work, so she stopped the people sweeping the floor and asked everyone to go back and rest.

"Director Zhou, shall I take you back?"

Zhang Zhiqiang handed the tools to Xu Damao, asked him to help take them back, and walked up to Aunt Zhou and said.

"It's not work now, just call me Aunt Zhou."

Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

"????"

Zhang Zhiqiang was speechless. You are the one who said all the good and bad things. How come I am so ignorant?

"No need to send me off, Qiangzi, go back. Your uncle is over there and will be here soon."

Sure enough, Qiu Ming soon appeared with a big broom in his hand.

"Hey, Qiangzi is here too?"

Qiu Ming greeted Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Yes, uncle, I wanted to ask Aunt Song Zhou to go back, but she said you were nearby, so we waited together."

Zhang Zhiqiang responded with a smile, as long as Qiu Ming was there, it would be fine. If not, he would definitely send Director Zhou back before leaving.

"I was just sweeping the snow on that street, and I came over when I saw that the situation was not right. Qiangzi, you go back, we can go back by ourselves."

Qiu Ming waved his hand and let Zhang Zhiqiang leave without saying any words of thanks. They were all so familiar with each other, wouldn't it be alienating to say those words?

"Okay, remember to take a hot bath when you get home, don't catch a cold."

Zhang Zhiqiang reminded.

"Okay, got it, let's go back."

After getting the response, Zhang Zhiqiang walked towards the Red Star Courtyard.

"Qiangzi is a good kid."

Qiu Ming looked at Zhang Zhiqiang's back and commented with satisfaction.

"Well, it's pretty good. Let's go back."

Aunt Zhou also thought Zhang Zhiqiang was a good guy, but the snow was too heavy and she didn’t want to stay here in the snow.

"Okay, I'll help you."

The road was still very slippery, and Qiu Ming helped Aunt Zhou walk home.

…………

After Zhang Zhiqiang returned home, he saw Ran Qiuye watching the snow at the door.

"Wife, come in quickly. It's so cold and you're still standing at the door."

Zhang Zhiqiang said this and prepared to take Ran Qiuye in.

"Honey, I kind of want to go down and get wet in the snow now."

Ran Qiuye said with a smile.

"why?"

Zhang Zhiqiang was a little confused. There was nothing he could do about getting wet. He was going to change clothes and take a shower when he came back. He didn't expect Ran Qiuye to have such a request.

"If they fall in the snow together, they will grow old together in this life."

"How romantic, right hubby?"

Ran Qiuye chanted a poem, clasped his hands together and looked at the heavy snow outside, with joy on his face.

"No need, we will grow old together, without having to get caught in the snow."

Zhang Zhiqiang brought Ran Qiuye into the house despite her protests.

"Wife, please sit on the sofa. I'm going to take a shower, or you'll catch a cold."

Zhang Zhiqiang gave instructions to his wife.

In fact, considering Zhang Zhiqiang's physique, not taking a bath shouldn't be a big deal, but it's better to be on the safe side. If he gets sick before the New Year, that would be a terrible thing.

"Well, then, go ahead, husband."

Ran Qiuye pouted and watched Zhang Zhiqiang walk towards the bathroom.

Front yard, Yan's house.

Yan Bugui stayed at home and did not go out. He sent his second son Yan Jiefang to help sweep the snow.

"Dad, it's so cold, why don't we light a stove?"

Yan Jiefang came back shivering with cold and started to discuss something with Yan Bugui.

"Why light the stove? Now is not the time."

"Have you never heard that snow doesn't make you cold? If you light the stove now, what will you do in two days? Will you not live in the house?"

Yan Bugui certainly couldn't afford coal, so his family could only burn wood.

But wood is not resistant to burning, so Yan Bugui usually starts to light the stove after the snow has stopped.

It wasn't too cold at home. After all, there was some truth in Yan Bugui's saying that it wasn't cold when it snowed, but it would be cold when the snow melted. However, Yan Jiefang's clothes were wet, so he felt very cold.

"But Dad, I really feel so cold."

Yan Jiefang was shivering from the cold.

"Then change your clothes quickly. It's cold to wear wet clothes."

Yan Bugui glanced at his son and said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiefang went to look for clothes. This was the best solution at the moment. In fact, he didn't want to change clothes. It was uncomfortable to take off clothes in such a cold day, but he might get sick if he kept wearing wet clothes.

Middle Court.

After Sha Zhu returned home, he took out the wine from the cabinet and took two big gulps. Only then did he feel his body warm up.

When sweeping the snow in the courtyard, he helped the Jia family clear a path. When sweeping the snow outside, Sha Zhu worked hard in the front to make Qin Huairu feel more relaxed. After a few hours, even the strongest person would not be able to bear it, let alone Sha Zhu.

"Brother, when are you going to cook for me? I'm hungry."

He Yushui said with a pout.

He Yushui must have known that Shazhu went out to sweep the snow, but what does sweeping the snow have to do with cooking for her? It's not related at all.

The corners of Sha Zhu's mouth twitched. He wondered why his sister was so ignorant. Didn't she see that he was tired and still asked him to cook for her?

In fact, Sha Zhu has already weighed the pros and cons in his mind. This sister doesn't seem to be particularly important. He works for Sister Qin willingly. Although Sha Zhu is reluctant to believe it, he is now reluctant to give He Yushui pocket money.

"There are steamed bread in the cupboard. You can peel some potatoes and stir-fry them, and you'll have your meal."

Sha Zhu said, it’s winter now, and we don’t have much at home except potatoes, so we can eat shredded potatoes every day.

"Ah? I don't want to eat shredded potatoes. Can't we have some meat?"

He Yushui said unhappily that she felt very short of food at home.

"It's snowing so heavily outside, where can I get you a whole piece of meat?"

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said unhappily that under the current circumstances, the supply and marketing cooperatives would probably not be open, so even if you have money you won't be able to buy meat.

"Brother Zhiqiang has some at home. Let's go find Zhang Zhiqiang. He must have some meat at home."

Although He Yushui is not in the courtyard most of the time, he has heard a lot of things recently, especially about Zhang Zhiqiang, who eats meat every day and is the best-living person in the Hongxing Courtyard.
