Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Uncle, people say that a poor family has a rich road ahead. Your family conditions should be OK, right? Your biological son is going out for the first time, and he will be paid a month later. Are you really not going to leave him a penny?"

Mr. Xu was so embarrassed that he took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xu Jianshe, saying, "Spend sparingly. It's not easy for us rural people to save money."

Xu Hui really didn't believe this at all. After all, Xu Jianshe was a worker and received a salary every month. He was not like other families in the village who relied on working in the fields for a living.

She said with a fake smile, "That's right. As the saying goes, a loving father always makes his son filial. Your love for your son will definitely be repaid tenfold or a hundredfold in the future."

After leaving the tavern, Mr. Xu said to his eldest son with a worried look on his face, "I think this Xu Hui is not a good person to get along with. She speaks in a sarcastic tone and makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't know what she is up to. Hey, I'm afraid your brother will be led astray by her."

Xu Jianshe comforted his father and said, "Don't worry, Dad. Jianshe has always listened to you since he was young. He shouldn't cause any trouble."

In the tavern, Xu Huizhen also asked curiously: "Jianshe, are you Xu's biological child? I see that this old man only has eyes for his eldest son. And you don't look like your father or brother."

Sowing discord and putting on eye drops are used at critical moments.

Xu Jianshe lowered his head a little sadly and said, "My mother said I look like my uncle."

Oh, what an obedient child. Never mind. Let’s not be in a hurry and take it slow.

Cai Quanwu is getting married. In this era, marriage is so quick, unlike the young people of later generations who have to go through a marathon-like relationship and still don't know whether it will end in marriage.

Cai Quanwu was alone, without a father or a mother, so he kept his wedding simple. He invited two tables of guests to the tavern, all of whom were neighbors and employees of the tavern. He Yuzhu was the chef and cooked the dishes.

Xu Huizhen gave Jianmei a set of clothes, and took out eight pounds of meat, five pounds of candy, and two packs of cigarettes from the space, and also covered the wine for the banquet. In this era, this gift can be said to be grand, and Jianmei was grateful for Xu Huizhen's generosity and thanked her repeatedly.

Xu Huizhen said: "The clothes are given to you by me as your elder sister. The other things are thanks to Cai Quanwu. He helped me a lot before the public-private partnership."

Cai Quanwu said: "I worked and you paid me."

Xu Huizhen: "Wages are wages, friendship is friendship. You two should live a good life in the future. If you need any help from me, I, Xu Huizhen, will never say no."

In her heart, Xu Huizhen felt a little sorry for Cai Quanwu. In the original plot, she married Cai Quanwu, and Cai Quanwu obeyed her all his life. He was a qualified husband and a competent father. But now she packed up and dumped him. She felt a little guilty and could only compensate him materially.

Cai Quanwu also immediately said: "Manager Xu, if you need us, we will definitely not say no."

Xu Huizhen: "We are relatives from now on. You can call me Huizhen in private, and call me manager in the tavern. It's more comfortable this way."

Cai Quanwu nodded to show that he understood.

After Xu Jianshe's job was settled, Xu Huizhen felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

The rest of the matter was left to Hu Yingzi. If nothing unexpected happened, she still wanted Xu Jianshe and Hu Yingzi to get married. She wondered if they could give birth to Xu Huizhen from the previous life?

That day, she said to Hu Yingzi, "Yingzi, what do you think of Xu Jianshe?"

Hu Yingzi said with a confused look on her face: "It's pretty good, good job, good looking too."

Xu Huizhen: "He is the fiancé I prepared for you."

Hu Yingzi opened her mouth in surprise, "Ah? Really? Sister Huizhen." However, in the blink of an eye, her expression became dejected again. She pouted and said, "Brother Jianshe, can you like me? I will be a city dweller in the future, and I still have a rural household registration and no job."

Xu Huizhen looked at Hu Yingzi. She had eaten well and had enough nutrition. Hu Yingzi's complexion had improved a lot and her face had gained some weight. She was no longer exposed to the wind and sun in the countryside, and her skin had become much whiter. She was much more beautiful than when she first came. Judging from her appearance, she was a good match for Xu Jianshe.

So, I encouraged her and said, "It depends on your performance."

When Hu Yingzi heard this, she perked up again, "Sister, then how do you think I should behave?"

Xu Huizhen: "Did you notice? Xu Jianshe's father doesn't seem to like him very much. I guess he doesn't enjoy the care of his family at home. So, you should pay more attention to Xu Jianshe in the future and let him see your strengths."

Hu Yingzi stared at him with a pair of innocent big eyes and asked, "Sister, just tell me directly, what should I do?"

Xu Huizhen smiled and teased her: "Look how anxious you are! You are not even old enough to get married yet, you have several years to work hard."

Hu Yingzi: "Shouldn't I make plans early? What if someone else snatches it away?"

Xu Huizhen: "You can take time to make him a pair of shoes, or occasionally make delicious food and invite him to your home for dinner, or send it to him. Wouldn't it be possible for you to develop a relationship with him after a while?"

Hu Yingzi slapped her thigh and said, "Sister, you are absolutely right. But I don't know what size shoes Jianshe wears. How about this, let's make dumplings tomorrow night, have him come over for dinner, and measure his shoe size while we're at it."

Xu Huizhen: "Okay! I'll go find you some cloth to make shoes. But, Yingzi, how are you going to repay me for helping you so much?"

Hu Yingzi said without hesitation: "Sister, you are my real sister. I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life." After hearing her words, Xu Huizhen was speechless and looked up at the sky.

People who are not alike should not marry into the same family. This is exactly what Xu Jianshe said. The future couple both want to curse themselves to die early. This is intolerable.

Xu Huizhen grabbed the broom and swung it at Hu Yingzi, cursing, "You damn Yingzi, I'm only a few years older than you? Do you need me to see you off to the end of my life? Are you cursing me to go to heaven as soon as possible?"

Yingzi argued as she ran, "No, sister! I was wrong. It's not like that. I meant to respect you like I respect my own parents. How could I curse you? Of course I hope you live a long life!"

Xu Huizhen didn't really want to hit her, she just swung the stick a few times for show and wanted to give up. But after hearing what Hu Yingzi said, she picked up the broom again.

"Hu Yingzi, can you control your mouth? You dare to say anything? "Long live forever" is for great men, how can you use it casually? In this day and age, if you dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with great men, bullets will send you to the west!"

The two were chasing and running around the yard when Xu Jianmei pushed the door open and came in. She asked in confusion, "Sister Huizhen, what are you doing?"

Xu Huizhen threw down the broom in anger and said, "You dead girl, pack up and go back home tomorrow. My temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you."

Hu Yingzi burst into tears when she heard this. She held Xu Jianmei's hand and cried, "Sister Jianmei, please help me beg for mercy. I don't want to go back to my hometown. I will never go back even if I die! Wuu, wuu, wuu..."
