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

In fact, Qin Huairu is a little smart. If she thinks about it carefully, she will definitely be able to figure it out.

But the person involved is confused, and Zhang Zhiqiang's words stunned Qin Huairu. She didn't dare to imagine what life would be like for her family without Sha Zhu.

Although Jia Dongxu is dead, the Jia family has not been doing badly in recent years.

They ate from Sha Zhu's lunch box, which was full of oily meals. The staple food was at least two-grain flour steamed buns, and in most cases it was white flour steamed buns.

Although the three children's clothes were relatively old, they were much better than most children's clothes which were covered with patches. This was all thanks to the help from Sha Zhu.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance back to frugality.

Now if Sha Zhu stops supporting him, his salary of 18.5 yuan would only be enough for his family of five to barely survive.

The Jia family can no longer swallow steamed corn bread for dinner.

"Qiangzi, you just love to joke around."

Of course Qin Huairu couldn't admit to plotting against Sha Zhu, so she quickly changed the subject.

"The meat you cook is so delicious. Qiangzi, you know it's not easy for Sister Qin to raise three children as a widow."

"When Bang Geng and the others smelled the meat, they cried and wanted to eat it. Sister Qin couldn't do anything about it."

"Qiangzi, you are Uncle Banggeng. Can you give me a bowl of meat for the sake of the child? Our Jia family will definitely be grateful to you."

Seeing that she couldn't ruin the meal, Qin Huairu changed her purpose and took out the empty bowl. It was a large enamel bowl. If she filled it with one bowl, she would probably have to take out all the braised pork made by Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Do you think it's possible, Qin Huairu? I can't be Jia Geng's uncle. You should let Jia Geng go to Sha Zhu's house. His stupid father would probably be willing to treat Jia Geng to a meal."

After Zhang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he closed the door. He didn't want to even look at this scheming widow.

People say that once, twice, there will never be a third or fourth time. Qin Huairu came three times just to ask for meat, right?

Oh, that’s not right. This time he doesn’t want meat. He probably wants to force Ran Qiuye away.

Imagine a woman going to a man's house for dinner and seeing a widow acting like the hostess, cleaning the house and making tea. I believe no woman can stand it.

According to Zhang Zhiqiang's estimation, Qin Huairu probably wanted to use him as the second blood-sucking target to support her three children.

"Hey, Qiangzi..."

Qin Huairu looked at the closed door with mixed feelings. She really liked Zhang Zhiqiang, but Zhang Zhiqiang had a huge misunderstanding of her.

"The Jia family has three children. What can a woman like me do?"

Qin Huairu pondered for a moment, smiled bitterly, turned around and walked towards the central courtyard. She felt that she might not be a very good person, but she was definitely a great mother.

Have you seen Liang Ladi from the third workshop? She is also a widow with five children. She entered the steel rolling mill at the same time as Qin Huairu and is now a third-level lathe operator.

"Who is it, Brother Zhiqiang?"

Ran Qiuye changed his tone quickly and called out very naturally.

"It's Jia Geng's mother. She came to ask for meat because of the smell of meat at home."

Zhang Zhiqiang answered vaguely and didn't want to say more about this matter.

"Then why did I hear her want to wash the bitter tea for you?"

Qin Huairu's voice was so loud just now that Ran Qiuye naturally heard it.

"He knew you were having dinner with me, so he said that on purpose to ruin our dinner. I guess he thought we were on a blind date."

Zhang Zhiqiang speculated.

"Ah? What does this have to do with her?"

Ran Qiuye was a little confused. Not to mention that she was not on a blind date with Zhang Zhiqiang, even if it had any relationship with Qin Huairu.

"You want to plot against me? Let me tell you, there is a man named He Yuzhu in the Central Courtyard. Everyone calls him Shazhu, and then..."

Zhang Zhiqiang briefly talked about the relationship between the Jia family and the He family, focusing on how Qin Huairu ruined Sha Zhu's blind date.

"Ah? How can there be such a bad person?"

Ran Qiuye was shocked. She would rather demolish a temple than break up a marriage.

If Sha Zhu knew what Qin Huairu did, he would fight her to the death.

"Well, they always say how difficult their family is, but in fact, the food they eat is better than most families in our courtyard."

Zhang Zhiqiang nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's stop talking and eat quickly. The food is getting cold."

Zhang Zhiqiang quickly invited Ran Qiuye to eat.

First, put the rice into the bowl. After obtaining Ran Qiuye's consent, Zhang Zhiqiang poured most of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes into Ran Qiuye's rice, stirred it, and passed it to her.

Ran Qiuye took the rice and thought that Zhang Zhiqiang was really a thoughtful person.

Ran Qiuye ate at Zhang Zhiqiang's house for the first time, and the two confirmed their relationship.

Zhang Zhiqiang could only keep picking up meat for Ran Qiuye, and both of them were very happy eating.

After dinner, Ran Qiuye rushed to wash the dishes.

"Sit down. It's your first time at my house and I'm letting you wash the dishes."

Zhang Zhiqiang asked Ran Qiuye to sit down and he quickly started to do the housework.

"So what you mean is that you can let me wash the dishes when I come to your house in the future?"

Ran Qiuye laughed and teased.

"No, no, as long as I'm at home, you don't have to do any housework."

Zhang Zhiqiang explained hurriedly.

Ran Qiuye chuckled when she saw Zhang Zhiqiang’s flustered look.

Zhang Zhiqiang didn't know what Ran Qiuye was laughing at, so he could only laugh along with her.

As a result, when Zhang Zhiqiang smiled, Ran Qiuye laughed even louder.

After finally stopping laughing, Ran Qiuye said, "Brother Zhiqiang, is the poem on your desk written for me?"

Zhang Zhiqiang then remembered that there was still a piece of manuscript paper on his desk. In fact, he wrote down these two paragraphs when he suddenly thought of them while reading a book last night.

But Zhang Zhiqiang would definitely not say that at this time.

"Ah? Yes, have you visited my desk?"

Zhang Zhiqiang showed appropriate doubts.

"That was written for me, so I took it away."

Ran Qiuye stood up and was about to put the manuscript paper into her bag.

"That's just a piece of manuscript paper. Wait for me to find a piece of writing paper and copy it for you."

Zhang Zhiqiang felt that at least it should be copied onto letter paper and then put into an envelope. There should always be a sense of ritual.

"No, I want this to be the first time I write it."

Ran Qiuye folded the manuscript paper and put it carefully into her bag.

It was getting late, so Zhang Zhiqiang offered to take Ran Qiuye home.

This time, the two of them were no longer restrained. Zhang Zhiqiang rode Ran Qiuye's bike, and Ran Qiuye sat in the back. The two of them rode towards Ran's house, talking and laughing.

Zhang Zhiqiang had sent Ran Qiuye there once and knew where the Ran family was.

"Qiuye, let me tell you a joke."

"Okay."

Ran Qiuye didn't expect that Zhang Zhiqiang could tell jokes, but she still expressed her expectation.

"Two people were on a blind date. The man's name was something like Qiang. He told the girl, 'I heard from the matchmaker that you are very hardworking and strong-willed.'"

"Then the girl said, thank you, I didn't expect the matchmaker to say this."

"Boys say that being strong-willed makes you tired. Now it's good."

"You have to be strong before, but you don't have to be strong anymore in the future."

"Then the girl asked curiously, why don't you have to be so strong?"

Ran Qiuye also asked: "Yes, Brother Zhiqiang, why don't you have to be so strong?"

In Ran Qiuye's opinion, being strong is a very good quality.

"The boy said, it's because you're strong."

As Zhang Zhiqiang finished speaking, Ran Qiuye was stunned for two seconds, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha~"

"Hahahahaha~ I'm dying of laughter."

"Could this man, Brother Zhiqiang, be you?"

The air was filled with Ran Qiuye's joyful mood.

"Of course not. I've never been on a blind date."

"Humph, who knows if what you said is true."

Ran Qiuye is as innocent as a little girl.

When they were almost at Ran Qiuye's house, Zhang Zhiqiang stopped his bicycle and said goodbye to Ran Qiuye.

I originally wanted to hug Ran Qiuye, but in this era, hugging and kissing in public is considered hooliganism.

So Zhang Zhiqiang just pinched Ran Qiuye's little hand.

Just this made Ran Qiuye blush.
