The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Sister, what were you talking about in that old man's room just now? Why did you stay there for so long?"

As soon as Qin Huairu returned to the room, Qin Jingru couldn't help but ask.

"What old man? My name is He Yuzhu. I have a real name. Don't say that the next time we meet!"

Qin Huairu said dissatisfied.

Sha Zhu had just done her such a great benefit, so he had to say a few good words for her.

"What is He Yuzhu? I heard it all. Everyone is calling him Shazhu. Sister, why is he called Shazhu? He sounds like a fool. It seems that this person is not smart!"

Qin Jingru asked loudly, unconvinced.

"Shazhu has been his nickname since he was a child. Everyone in our courtyard calls him Shazhu. But he is not stupid. If he is said to be stupid in this courtyard, then there will be no smart people!"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"I don't believe it, sister, what are you holding in your hand? Why does it smell so good?"

Qin Jingru said disdainfully, how smart can he be if he is called a fool? But then she was attracted by the cloth bag in Qin Huairu's hand. The freshly steamed white flour buns exuded a strong wheat fragrance and sweetness, which made people salivate.

Qin Jingru, who had just arrived in the city yesterday and hadn't even had fine grains to eat, was now drooling with greed and kept looking into the bag.

"Look, see, white flour steamed buns! I've been thinking about you in my heart! Since I saw you last night, I haven't had any appetite. I steamed a pot of steamed buns early this morning just to leave a good impression in front of you. How about it, are you interested in having a meal with him?"

Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Tsk, sister, who do you think I am? You think you can buy me off with a few steamed buns? I won't do it!

Qin Jingru grabbed a steamed bun, took a big bite, and said with disdain.

"Hey, you're quite courageous! It's just a meal, and you don't have to express your opinion. What are you worried about? Let me tell you, he is the chef in our steel mill, and his cooking skills are excellent! He will definitely cook meat dishes tonight, don't you want to try it?"

Qin Huairu said temptingly.

"Well, go ahead, but I said we'll just have a meal. I didn't promise you anything!"

Qin Jingru couldn't help drooling when she heard the meat dishes she mentioned. After thinking about it, she decided to agree. If she didn't eat it, she would eat it first. Anyway, she didn't agree to anything.

Hearing Qin Jingru's agreement, Qin Huairu smiled. She knew her sister too well. She put interests first and would go through fire and water for something that would benefit her.

Thinking of what Sha Zhu meant, she couldn't help but want to test it out again.

"Jingru, actually, this Shazhu is pretty good. If you're willing, I think it's okay to talk to him, what do you think?"

"Sister, what do you mean? Didn't you tell me to be with Li Wenqiang? Why are you asking me to be with Shazhu now? Just because he looks so stupid, I don't want to be with him!"

Qin Jingru curled her lips and refused directly.

Waking up every morning with such an ugly man is like having a wild boar lying next to me. It’s scary.

"What if he has money?"

Qin Huairu immediately took out her trump card.

"What do you mean? Is he rich?"

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up and she instantly grasped the key point and asked.

"Of course, he's the chef at our steel mill. He's been working there for seven or eight years. He should have at least two or three thousand dollars on him!"

Qin Huairu said casually.

"Two or three thousand? That much?"

Qin Jingru opened her mouth instantly and said in surprise.

"Of course, he usually eats and drinks in the cafeteria, and at most spends a few dollars a month on a bottle of wine, so it's normal for him to spend two or three thousand. Have you seen his room? A big hall with a side room. After his sister gets married, he will have two rooms. The hall is bigger than the other two rooms, and it can be separated into at least three rooms. If you stay with him in the future, food and accommodation will not be a problem!"

Qin Huairu took her to the door and pointed at Sha Zhu's house and said.

"Sister, are you hiding something from me? Why are you suddenly introducing me to Sha Zhu?"

Qin Jingru looked at her strangely. It had only been one day, why did she change her mind again? There was clearly something she didn't know about.

Just because she doesn't know much doesn't mean she's stupid. She already had many suspicions about Qin Huairu's actions.

"What are you thinking? I'm your sister, how can I harm you? Think about it, you finally come to the city, Li Wenqiang is good, but he has a wife! You can find another one, if he is unreliable, you still have a choice!

Think about Sha Zhu's conditions, they are not bad at all. I, your sister, have been worried about you, you must repay me well in the future!"

Qin Huairu grabbed her hand and said "concernedly".

"Well, I'll go down and ask Li Wenqiang what he has to say!"

Qin Jingru said with some hesitation.

Li Wenqiang promised to give her 30 yuan a month and provide food and accommodation, which seemed not bad. However, Sha Zhu had 2,000 to 3,000 yuan in savings and two rooms, which made her hesitate for a while.

"What's there to ask? Isn't it better for you to make your own decisions? Then why don't you go over and ask him what kind of living conditions he can give you? It's the same if you make the comparison and then choose!"

Seeing her hesitation, Qin Huairu knew at a glance that she was already hesitating in her heart, so she gave her a way out.

"Okay, I'll go down and ask!"

Qin Jingru said hesitantly.

"Don't wait any longer. I just checked and his wife has already gone to work. Why don't you just go there? Go there quickly while there's no one around!"

Qin Huairu urged.

In her heart, although Li Wenqiang is a buyer, he has always relied on his wife and father-in-law to be able to live as comfortably as he does today, otherwise he would be a garbage collector on the street.

So after she saw Sha Zhu's financial strength, her position changed immediately. Another thing is that no matter who Qin Jingru chooses, she will definitely make money.

At Qin Huairu's instigation, Qin Jingru took a few big bites and stuffed the steamed bun in her hand into her stomach.

"Then I'll go first! Sister, please save two steamed buns for me and I'll come back to eat them later!"

Qin Jingru said this and walked out reluctantly!

"You've already eaten one, do you want more? Save these for your niece. I'll heat up two steamed buns for you later. That'll be enough for you!"

Qin Huairu said this and hid the steamed bun.

"Mom, I want to eat steamed buns too!"

Xiaodang, who had been waiting for a long time, said aggrievedly when he saw his mother put away all the steamed buns.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's just one. You can save the rest and eat them slowly. Who can stand eating fine grains every day?"

Qin Huairu said this as she took out another steamed bun from the bag.

"It's so fragrant!"

Xiaodang, who got the steamed bun, smiled happily.

"Sister, you are so stingy!"

Qin Jingru said dissatisfiedly while standing at the door.

"Why haven't you left yet? There will be people in the yard soon, why don't you go quickly?"

Seeing Qin Jingru still standing here, Qin Huairu immediately urged her.

"Humph!"

Qin Jingru left reluctantly.

"Jingru, don't blame me. This is all for your good life in the future. You will understand later!"

Looking at Qin Jingru's back, Qin Huairu said to herself.
