The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Wait, let me get a basin of water first! I'm about to go to work, let me go first, thank you thank you!"

"Wait for nothing, get in line, you sound like you're the only one in a hurry!"

In the busy morning, the pool was once again crowded with people preparing to wash up and go to work.

"Silly Zhu, you've been looking here for half an hour. Your eyeballs are about to fall out of the ground. Aren't you going to work?"

Someone looked at Shazhu standing there with a silly smile on his face for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, work is not as important as dating. This idiot Zhu must have fallen for the girl who came yesterday, don't you think? Hahahaha...!"

"Yes, yes, that must be the case!"

The people around were laughing and joking.

"Go away, go away, where do you get all that nonsense from? So what? It's none of your business! Even if you're good at gossiping, don't blame me for being rude!"

Facing everyone's jokes, Sha Zhu was not shy at all, but directly admitted it. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. He is almost 27 years old, so what's wrong with dating? Isn't this normal?

"Oh, it's urgent, it's urgent!"

Everyone pointed at him and laughed.

"Hey, it's getting exciting again!"

After saying this, Sha Zhu rushed over with his crutches, limping along, ready to catch the two ringleaders and teach them a lesson.

As a result, the other party saw that the situation was not right and ran away immediately. Sha Zhu was still half-crippled, so there was no way he could catch him. After a while, the man ran away.

"Hey, grandson! Don't run if you dare!"

Sha Zhu shouted unconvinced from behind.

"It's a fool not to run!"

It was quite lively with a few people playing and fighting.

When most people had left, the door of the Qin family finally opened. Qin Huairu came out carrying a basin of clothes.

"Morning, Sister Qin!"

Sha Zhu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Qin Huairu finally come out and immediately ran over to say hello.

"Well, good morning!"

Qin Huairu looked up at Sha Zhu and then ignored him. She had thought it through yesterday. The two hundred yuan that Sha Zhu mentioned was quite tempting, but the problem was that her sister didn't like it!

This Shazhu is not ugly, he looks average, but he is usually sloppy, so how can he be good?

For the two hundred dollars he promised, she had asked him several times yesterday, but the answer she got was always that he was unwilling. What else could she do? She could only watch Sha Zhu's money slip away from her eyes.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was unwilling to pay attention to him, Sha Zhu became anxious and walked closer and asked nervously and expectantly.

"What did your sister say? Did she agree?"

Qin Huairu looked up at him, then spoke slowly.

"no!"

After saying that, he continued cleaning.

"Oh, my sister Qin, please be more careful! This is my lifelong event. What did she say? Tell me and I will analyze it!"

Sha Zhu became anxious and quickly stopped her from continuing to clean.

"What are you doing? Why are you stopping me? It's not like I don't agree with you. You should go find my sister!"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said that she was feeling conflicted about not earning the hundred dollars from Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu was always hanging around in front of her, making her feel anxious again.

"Don't worry about finding her yet, I'll encourage you first!"

After saying this, Sha Zhu pulled Qin Huairu and ran into the house.

"Hey, what are you doing? It would be embarrassing if someone saw you."

Qin Huairu was dragged away by him half-heartedly, knowing that this silly Zhu probably had some benefits for her, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. It seemed that the arrival of his cousin had given him a lot of stimulation.

"What's the big deal? We are both open and aboveboard, so what are we afraid of?"

Sha Zhu said indifferently.

After entering the house, the aroma of steamed buns filled the room. Qin Huairu began to drool at the smell. It was only recently that she had tasted fine grains a few times, otherwise she would not have been willing to eat them.

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing? It smells so good."

Qin Huairu asked knowingly.

"I made these steamed buns early this morning, specially for your sister. You can take some back later."

Sha Zhu walked to the closet and said without turning back.

"Really? Just give it to my sister, but no share for me?"

Qin Huairu pretended to be unhappy.

"How could I forget you? I just said it casually. Can't you just take a few more later?"

As Sha Zhu spoke, he took out a handful of banknotes, counted out a hundred yuan, then turned around and put it in Qin Huairu's hand.

"Sister Qin, see, I have money! You can tell your sister later that as long as she marries me, she can enjoy the good life with me in the future! I heard everything she said yesterday, a house, a car, a job, and savings. The only thing she lacks is a bicycle. As long as she nods, I will find a way to buy one!"

Sha Zhu said proudly.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Qin Huairu asked curiously.

When Sha Zhu was counting the money, she had been watching secretly from the side. This pile of money must be at least seven or eight hundred! She didn't expect that Sha Zhu, who usually looked sloppy, actually had so much savings.

"Of course I earned it. It can't fall from the sky! I tell you, I have plenty of money, but I just need a wife! Talk to your sister and ask her to come to my house for dinner tonight."

Sha Zhu said carelessly.

"Silly Zhu, are you serious? One hundred yuan, that's enough for you to marry ten wives, and you just give it to me like that? I'm telling you, if you give me this money, then no matter whether this thing succeeds or not, I won't be able to return it!"

Qin Huairu looked at the money in her hand and said excitedly.

There are certainly benefits from Li Wenqiang, but won't he have to pass it on? If I marry my sister to Sha Zhu, given their friendship, will she be able to benefit from it in the future?

"Take it. Since I've already taken out the money, I don't want to take it back. No matter whether this thing succeeds or not, you don't have to return the money. Just think of it as buying two snacks for your children, okay? How about it, I think this is good enough!"

Sha Zhu looked at her seriously and emphasized that he was not joking.

"Okay, since you've said that, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse you again. Just wait, when you're ready, I'll bring Jingru to your house for dinner tonight!"

Seeing Sha Zhu's resolute attitude, Qin Huairu couldn't help but be impressed by his courage. The money has been delivered to you, wouldn't you be a fool not to make money?

"Hey, that's right! I'm telling you! I'm going to get off work early tonight. After I finish cooking, you can bring your sister over to eat!"

When Sha Zhu saw that she agreed, his face immediately became happy. He believed that with his family conditions, which were among the best in the courtyard, he could convince her immediately if he told her directly.

When Sha Zhu thought of Qin Jingru's figure, he started to fantasize again. Qin Huairu, the daughter of the old Qin family, was really good-looking, one more beautiful than the other.

"Okay, just wait, I'll bring it to you later. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. It's not good to stay in your room for too long!"

Qin Huairu carefully stuffed the money into her clothes and hid it, saying with satisfaction. She said she was leaving, but her eyes were looking towards the kitchen, and then at Sha Zhu, her meaning was very clear.

"Oh, look at my memory! Wait a minute, I'll go put the steamed buns on for you. I started fermenting the dough last night and started making it at six o'clock. I've steamed it and been waiting for you, but you didn't come out for such a long time!"

Sha Zhu ran to the kitchen, still talking about his work. He quickly put the steamed buns in the steamer into the bag, leaving only two in the pot.

"You're so thoughtful. I'll say a few good words for you in front of my sister later. Is that okay? Give me the other two too. We don't have any fine food at home. Give them to her at noon and you can go to the cafeteria to eat!"

Qin Huairu said this and put the two steamed buns in the pot into the bag and took them away.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu who was leaving and said blankly, "I haven't even had my breakfast yet, and they took it all away? Hey, Qin Huairu is really quick! Well, I'll have to go hungry again in the morning!"

After saying that, he didn't take it seriously, closed the door, and went to work leisurely.
