Chapter 68: Means

"Auntie!"

Qin Jingru was carrying a watering can in the courtyard, bowing slightly, carefully taking care of the dozen pots of vegetables planted in the courtyard, and suddenly there was a sound of a stick stalk at the gate of the courtyard, and the voice was full of joy.

"It's a terrier! Who is this? Qin Jingru turned her head to look, and saw that the stick terrier was holding a young girl's hand.

"This is my girlfriend Yuan Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, this is my aunt!" The stick terrier introduced the two of them.

"Hello aunt!" Yuan Xiuxiu greeted Qin Jingru sweetly.

Qin Jingru put down the watering can in his hand, stepped forward, and enthusiastically grabbed Yuan Xiuxiu's hand and said, "I said how could I hear a magpie calling outside the window when I got up early this morning." It turned out that Xiuxiu was coming! ”

"I don't mind if I call you Xiuxiu, right?" Qin Jingru paused, and asked Yuan Xiuxiu's opinion, but a pair of eyes kept looking Yuan Xiuxiu up and down.

"Auntie can call it whatever she likes!" Yuan Xiuxiu was a little shy, and two clusters of red glow flew on both sides of her pretty face.

"How old is Xiuxiu?" Qin Jingru asked.

Yuan Xiuxiu said: "I just passed my twenty-second birthday. ”

"Where do you work?"

"In the machine shop."

"So you're a colleague with the Terrier?"

"Hmm!"

"Where's home?"

“……”

The two of them asked and answered, and seeing that Qin Jingru asked more and more, the stick terrier hurriedly interrupted: "Auntie, my mother is still waiting to see Xiuxiu at home!" Let's go back first, see you later! ”

said that he didn't wait for Qin Jingru to ask again, so he couldn't wait to pull Yuan Xiuxiu away.

Qin Jingru shook her head as she looked at the backs of the two leaving, and muttered, "This kid is really hard-winged, and this girlfriend is really diligent in changing!" ”

If you want to talk about the object of the stick terrier, I don't know how much I have talked about in the past few years, as far as Qin Jingru knows, there are not ten or eight of the stick terriers brought home, and Sensei said that those were blown before they were brought back.

It's only been a few years, and changing objects is like changing clothes.

"But this girl is not bad, no wonder the stick terrier dumped that ...... So who's coming? ”

Qin Jingru couldn't remember the name of his girlfriend on the stick terrier for a while.

As he was chattering, there was a sudden sound of a car outside the door, and after a while, Wang Xinyi, who was carrying a handbag, walked in from the gate of the courtyard!

"Mom, why are you still wearing this, didn't you say that you should change your clothes!"

Before entering the hospital, Wang Xinyi saw Qin Jingru wearing loose pajamas for home leisure, and he exhaled.

"Ouch!" Qin Jingru patted his head and said with annoyance: "Look at my memory, I just patronized and talked to the new object of the stick terrier, and I forgot about this stubble!" ”

Wang Xinyi's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to take the watering can in Qin Jingru's hand and put it aside, and while helping Qin Jingru to walk into the house, he asked curiously: "Why did Brother Stick Terrier change to a new object?" ”

It's no wonder that Wang Xinyi is curious, if you want to say that before, the stick terrier didn't even have his own room, and he could only sleep in a simple bed built with benches and planks in the hall, and then lay out the futon and would sleep.

It's not surprising that the girl dislikes him and refuses to live with him, but now the stick terrier has his own bedroom, the job is decent, and the monthly salary is not less.

And Qin Huairu is not only working in the rolling mill now, but also taking Xiaodang and Huaihua sisters to work in the Peony Building, the Jia family of five, except for Jia Zhang, who sits at home all day, the remaining four people all get wages, and the salary level is not low.

Many people in the hospital don't have this condition.

But changing a girlfriend is still like changing clothes, so Wang Xinyi is not curious.

"How do I know!" Qin Jingru said, "It's not that you don't know, since Grandma Stick Terrier came to make trouble that time, my father wouldn't allow me to go to your aunt's house, if I hadn't had a good relationship with your aunt, our two families would have become enemies a long time ago!" ”

Wang Xinyi stood on his father's side without the slightest hesitation: "You can't blame my dad for this, it's all the fault of grandma the terrier, it's not enough to take advantage, and my dad can't rub sand in his eyes!" ”

"My dad just doesn't like Jia Zhang's family, otherwise, how can my aunt, Sister Xiaodang and Sister Huaihua enter the Peony Building!" Wang Xinyi is already an adult, and he has his own ability to review and judge things and people.

While speaking, the mother and daughter had already entered the inner room, and when they walked to the wardrobe, Qin Jingru picked up a skirt and draped it on her body and asked Wang Xinyi.

"How about wearing this?"

"It's good-looking, that's it!" Wang Xinyi immediately gave a thumbs up.

Qin Jingru's clothes are basically selected by Wang Chong, generally Wang Chong will buy Qin Jingru when he thinks it looks good, and in the past few years, Qin Jingru, Wang Xinyi and Wang Heng's clothes have been drawn by Wang Chong according to their size and sent to Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiao'e will ask her to bring a few sets of clothes of different colors back to Wang Chong every time.

Qin Jingru hadn't been to the clothing section of a department store for almost two years.

After a while, Qin Jingru changed her clothes and was pulled away by Wang Xinyi in a hurry.

……

In a courtyard just two hundred meters away from the Peony Tower, in the main house, He Yushui, who was wearing a forehead wipe, was sitting on the kang with a quilt on his legs, wearing a thick cotton jacket and a woolen coat on his shoulders.

Next to He Yushui is the twin brothers who are still sleeping in swaddling clothes.

Lou Xiao'e sat on the edge of the kang and took He Yushui's hand.

"Sister Xiao'e, don't you know how sad I've been these days lately, I can't even take a shower, this hair, this body is about to smell out, that's called an uncomfortable!"

Now Lou Xiao'e is like He Yushui's life-saving straw.

"I've heard people say that pregnant women are like this during confinement." Lou Xiao'e comforted He Yushui and said: "It is said that you can't withstand the wind and cold, otherwise it will be easy to fall into the root of the disease!" Lou Xiao'e said, but her eyes always inadvertently glanced at the sweet twins who were sleeping in swaddling clothes in the kang.

Although the envy in the depths of his eyes has been tried his best to hide, he still can't help but reveal it.

"Wang Chong also said so, and specially told Xiao Liu that I was not allowed to go off the kang!"

Although He Yushui complained, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and the happiness and satisfaction in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Wang Chong, this is also for your good!" Lou Xiao'e said.

"For my sake, why didn't he come to see me!" He Yushui actually played a petty temper.

Lou Xiao'e knew that He Yushui had been addicted to it in front of her, if Wang Chong really came, it would not be what Wang Chong said she would do, the main thing was a husband and a wife.

"Rain!" Lou Xiao'e suddenly clenched He Yushui's hand: "You really think about it, just take your child for the rest of your life?" ”

The smile on He Yushui's face also disappeared after hearing this, and he nodded with a serious expression: "Hmm! ”

"Sister Xiao'e, I've been thinking about it for 20 years, and I've missed the most beautiful 20 years of women, and now I'm already an old man, I don't want to wait any longer!"

"Alas!" Lou Xiao'e sighed and said, "You said how good it would be if you married Wang Chong at the beginning!" ”

When He Yushui chased Wang Chong, Lou Xiao'e had not divorced Xu Damao, and the relationship between Xu Damao and Wang Chong was not bad at that time, Xu Damao often invited Wang Chong to his home for a drink, Lou Xiao'e knew everything about He Yushui and Wang Chong.

"Alas!" Speaking of this, He Yushui couldn't help but sigh, and said regretfully: "Why don't I want to, it's just ......"

Speaking of the past, He Yushui's heart was full of regret and regret, if he could have resigned from his job and be a housewife at home to help Wang Chong guard the rear, I am afraid that now I live in the front yard of Lao Wang's house, helping Wang rebirth and raising children, and it is not Qin Jingru who is called the wife of the factory director, but herself.

But there are so many ifs and ifs in the world.

At the beginning, He Yushui's job was his brother

He Yuzhu begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and it took hundreds of yuan to get it, so how could he resign with words.

"Just what?" Lou Xiao'e asked curiously.

He Yushui shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face again: "It's nothing, it's all many years ago, don't say it!" ”

Seeing that He Yushui didn't want to say more, Lou Xiao'e naturally wouldn't ask.

He Yushui turned his head to look at the sleeping twins next to him and said, "Now that I have Wenchang and Wenwu, I am already very satisfied." ”

He Wenchang, He Wenwu, this is the name of the twin brothers, He Yushui personally gave it.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes also looked at the Wenchang Wenwu brothers, and her eyes gradually became gentle.

Lou Xiao'e said: "If Wenchang Wenwu asks you where their father has gone in the future, how will you answer?" ”

"We'll talk about the future later!" Ho storm drains.

Coming out of He Yushui's house, Lou Xiao'e looked up at the sky, the sky was a little gloomy, it was estimated that another heavy snow was coming, the howling north wind was pervasive, and it followed the gap between the collars into the clothes, and the frozen people shivered.

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly walked to the side of the car, opened the door and sat in, started the car and turned on the air conditioner, the warm wind blew, and the biting chill subsided.

Digging out the BB machine from her handbag and looking at the message on it, Lou Xiao'e drove back to her residence and dialed the phone.

"Big brother!" As soon as the phone was connected, Lou Xiao'e said, "It's me!" ”

"I'm almost ready here, just wait for him to get on the set, and I'll be able to do it!"

“………”

In the courtyard, the old Xu family in the backyard, Xu Damao had a gloomy face, and there was no smugness of the spring breeze in the past.

Time has to go back to yesterday, Xu Damao just negotiated a business, made a lot of money, and was coming back with joy, still carrying the good wine he had just bought, braised pork, and roast chicken, and was planning to go home and celebrate with his daughter-in-law.

Walking in a figure-eight step, humming a little song, as soon as I walked through the middle courtyard into the backyard, I saw the second and third children of the Silly Pig family coming together next to a woman, and came out of the house left by the deaf old lady with a smile on their faces.

Seeing the woman, the smile on Xu Damao's face instantly froze.

Even though that face is much older, Xu Damao still recognizes it at a glance, after all, it is the wife who has shared the bed with him for several years, how could Xu Damao not recognize it.

Lou Xiao'e didn't seem to see Xu Damao at all, and walked straight past him, but the second and third eldest of the Silly Zhu family called him Uncle Xu, and hurriedly followed.

It is said that the enemy is very red when they meet, and Xu Damao, who is already weak-hearted, now sees that Lou Xiao'e, who is dressed at a high price, and knows that Lou Xiao'e, who is not cheap, appears in the courtyard, how can he be in a good mood.

Early the next morning, Xu Damao stopped the second and third children of the Silly Zhu family, and tried every means to trap them, what kind of person is Xu Damao, shrewd as a ghost, cunning as a fox, and in a few words, he learned the purpose of Lou Xiao'e's return from the mouth of the second and third children of the Silly Zhu family.

One is to go to the deaf old lady's house to see and remember the past, and the other is to thank Silly Zhu and Ran Qiuye, after all, it is the two of them who sent the deaf old lady with an uncle and an aunt.

But Xu Damao has always had a lot of eyes, even if he learned the purpose of Lou Xiao'e's return from the second and third elders of the Silly Zhu family, he still couldn't rest assured, and he ran out to ask someone to inquire and investigate Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e's reputation in Beiping is average, but the Lou family is different, how to say that Lou's father also has Lou Bancheng in the past, although the Lou family's factory is open in Shencheng, but it is not less cooperative with the state-owned factories in Beiping, and the leaders above read the old relationship with the Lou family, and they take care of the Lou family brothers and sisters.

Xu Damao was already doing business in Beiping, although the business was not big, but he still had some contacts, and after a little inquiry, he found out about the recent situation of Lou Xiao'e and the Lou family.

Xu Damao had just come back from outside today, and when he passed by the middle courtyard, he heard the second and third children of the Silly Zhu family shouting "Thank you, Aunt Lou" and something like "Thank you" in the house, and also heard the voice of Lou Xiao'e talking to He Daqing.

Just listening to the sound of He Daqing talking to the boys of Silly Zhu, you can guess that Lou Xiao'e must have sent a lot of good things to Silly Zhu's family.

Xu Damao has always been unprofitable and can't afford to be early, at first he was a little apprehensive because of his weak heart, but as time went by, his mind became active, and his courage naturally soared.

After thinking about it and thinking about it repeatedly, Xu Damao actually hit Lou Xiao'e with the idea.

Xu Damao also knew in his heart that with Lou Xiao'e's temperament, even if she was cheeky and begged to come to the door, she would never take care of herself.

In addition to the hardware factory and rolling mill at home, Lou Xiao'e also has a clothing company, and it is also a "red-sleeved clothing" with a good momentum in the past two years.

How could Xu Damao not be blushing!

Such a rich and big money stood in front of him like this, if he didn't get a sum out of her hands, how could Xu Damao be willing.

Time passed day by day, Lou Xiao'e sent things to Silly Zhu's house at the end of three days, and the gifts were almost full of the pig-killing house, what to eat and drink, the new seasonal clothes in the factory, all kinds of everything.

Xu Damao watched Lou Xiao'e run into the courtyard when he saw the sky, but he just turned a blind eye to himself, and didn't even say hello, let alone mention the events of the year.

Just when Xu Damao was about to attack Lou Xiao'e, the police suddenly came to the door and directly tortured Xu Damao from home.

The last time the police came to the courtyard was the earthquake in 76, Yan Jiefang's brothers and sisters brought people to the courtyard to make trouble, planning to tear down the earthquake shed that Wang Chong led people to erect and take away the wood.

Unexpectedly, now someone in the courtyard was tortured by the police.

As soon as Xu Damao's matter came out, the three masters in the courtyard immediately invited them to hold a general meeting to discuss Xu Damao's affairs.

But now it is no longer the past, among the three masters, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai has no children and no daughters, he is alone, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui, can be described as a sleeping dragon and phoenix, half a catty and eight taels, except for his age, it is almost useless, and even his own children are not well educated, how can other people in the courtyard be as stupid as before to believe them.

The three of them went door-to-door to inform them, but none of them said that they wanted to attend the so-called plenary meeting.

Even if the three of them used the reputation of the courtyard as an excuse, they did not agree.

There were even some grumpy mouths who directly and unceremoniously scolded the three of them back, pointing the finger at Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, and let the two of them take care of their own affairs first.
