The next day, Chu Xiangqian took Xue Jinglan forward, sat in Xue Jianguo's car, and took a lot of New Year's goods to his father-in-law's house to give New Year's gifts.

A whole sheep, a whole cow's hind legs, 2 dried fish, 4 pheasants, 4 hares, and dozens of catties of various preserved fruits and snacks suddenly made the old lady and mother-in-law squint their smiling eyes.

With these foods, you don't have to worry about how to let the family have a good New Year this year.

Even if the married daughter and the aunt's family of four are called over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, these things are enough to eat.

Xue Jinglan was dragged by the old lady and her mother to whisper, while Chu Xiangqian chatted with Xue Jianguo until noon.

Old man Xue and his father-in-law went home for lunch, and chatted until half past one in the afternoon, when the old man and his father-in-law went to work again.

Chu Xiangqian took Xue Jinglan back to the front door courtyard.

As soon as I entered the middle courtyard, I saw Aiyuan stopping me and said, "Brother, the neighbors on the other side of Luoguxiang know that you are back, and many people ask me to ask you when you will go back to live." ”

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that he must be looking for himself to exchange food.

Maybe the second and third masters have found some good things in the past two months.

There was also Widow Qin, who was definitely looking forward to going back, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but look at Xue Jinglan.

Xue Jinglan not only didn't think much about it, but said very understandingly, "Brother Qian, if you can help, you can help." ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, Xue Jinglan knew how rich she was on Hong Kong Island and abroad, but she just said that she would help if she could.

Obviously, it's okay to help, but don't overdo it.

secretly said that his daughter-in-law is smart, and said with a smile, "Then I may not come back for dinner at night, and I may not come back until late at night."

Let the patriotic and patriotic brothers sleep in the gatehouse of the front yard, and the others go to bed early. ”

Xue Jinglan nodded, hurriedly sorted out Chu Xiangqian's coat and scarf, and then together with Aiyuan, she watched Chu Xiangqian ride a bicycle out and walk away, and then closed the door.

The two sisters-in-law talked and talked, and soon talked about playing cards.

Anyway, in the winter, if you go out and freeze to death, it is better to stay in the house with the fire pit and play mahjong.

And Chu Xiangqian didn't go to the courtyard for the first time, but seeing that it was only half past two in the afternoon, he first let the fly to the Mao'er alley, and sure enough, he saw Qin Huairu waiting in the small courtyard of the alley.

Chu Xiangqian smiled, and the speed of riding a bicycle was much faster.

It was only ten minutes before he arrived at the small courtyard next to the Wenchang Emperor's Temple, Chu Xiangqian knocked lightly on the door a few times, and Qin Huairu, who was waiting in the house, had a happy face.

Walking out of the room quickly, he lowered his voice and asked, "Who?" ”

Chu Qianqian said, 'It's me', and instantly made Qin Huairu unable to open the door with a reserved brisk.

Seeing that it was really Chu Xiangqian outside the door, Qin Huairu's face was overjoyed, but his eyes were rosy again.

When Chu Xiang carried the bicycle into the yard, he suddenly felt a soft body hugging him tightly from behind.

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned around and picked up Qin Huairu, closed the courtyard door with his foot, and dropped the door bolt by the way, locking the door.

Quickly entered the house and walked towards the bedroom.

Not long after, there was a slight sobbing sound in the courtyard.

It can be seen that in this game, Qin Huairu really lost too badly.

But this woman is very resilient, and the worse she loses, the more she wants to fight again.

Relying on the perseverance of not admitting defeat, several big battles came down.

Although Qin Huairu felt tired, she was also comfortable.

The fire that had been accumulated for many days was also completely suppressed.

Hugging Chu Xiangqian's neck, his face pressed against his chest, he calmed down his breath for a while before his breathing slowly stabilized.

Then he felt sticky all over his body, so he hurriedly got up and put on his jacket, brought the prepared hot water from the kitchen, and cleaned it up for Chu Xiangqian first, and then freshened himself.

When she returned to the bed, the woman's hands and feet were cold.

Chu Xiangqian was very considerate and took her in his arms and warmed her with his body.

Then they talked about the old objects that Qin Huairu had received in the past month or so.

There are also incomprehensions and difficulties encountered in the study of the antique books left by Chu Xiangqian, and in the actual contact.

For people like Chu Xiangqian, whose master is a treasure connoisseur and who can easily come into contact with national treasure-level treasures in practice, don't teach Qin Huairu, a novice.

is a lot of shopkeepers in the glass factory, and his eyesight is not as good as him.

After all, Chu Xiangqian had too many real treasures in his hands.

The most important thing, as long as you get started, the game can tell him whether it is true or false.

This alone can actually make a novice become a master of treasure appreciation little by little.

——

Just chatting and talking.

The two of them were grinding tofu and gossiping, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Qin Huairu even felt that this was like living with her own man, instead of hurriedly playing games when she met like before.

It always feels like it's all about friendlies.

Seeing that the sky was slowly getting darker, Qin Huairu was shocked again, and then picked up the head of the bed, and Chu Xiangqian deliberately wore the Demon Capital watch to take a look.

Seeing that it was already 5:50, he hurriedly hugged Chu Xiangqian's neck and shook it a few times, "Otherwise, you lie down and sleep for a while." Shall I go back for a while, and then come back to accompany you? ”

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "There are a lot of people in the courtyard, please ask Ehime to invite me to go back." It seems that there should be a shortage of food, or the white noodles of the New Year's collar should be exchanged for some stick noodles. ”

Qin Huairu naturally knew the general situation of each household in the courtyard.

There are basically few restaurants that can eat meat, and at most they can buy three or five taels for the New Year, and they only eat cabbage and meat stuffed dumplings.

For other families with large populations, it's good to be able to eat a meal of pure cabbage dumplings.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu was close and grateful to Chu Xiangqian.

When Chu Xiangqian left the capital before, he left a lot of grain, dried meat, preserved fruits, and deer gum in this courtyard.

It can be said that Qin Huairu's family not only does not have to starve, but occasionally can secretly bring back two taels or three taels of dried meat or fish, and secretly fry a meat dish with cabbage, shredded radish or something.

Or wrap a dumpling and eat it.

After Jia Zhang's family didn't starve, he praised Qin Huairu again and again at first, but after a long time, this old pious woman began to worry that Qin Huairu had a man outside.

Otherwise, how can you get white flour at both ends in three days?

Why can I eat some jerky or dried fish a week?

Qin Huairu said at the beginning that he used old objects to exchange them with others, but Jia Zhang's only believed it for a few days, and he began to suspect that Qin Huairu was getting along with other men.

It's a pity that Qin Huairu at this time is not only not afraid of her mother-in-law at all, but Jia Zhang's handle of taking painkillers is pinched in Qin Huairu's hands.

Moreover, Jia Zhang's family obviously has the job and salary of a regular worker, but he does not spend a dime to support his two grandsons and granddaughters.

Since the money and food to support the family were all provided by Qin Huairu, the Jia Zhang family did not have enough confidence to speak at home.

As a last resort, Jia Zhang's family can only beg Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu doesn't care about what she does outside, but the stick terrier must not change her surname.

This is no problem at all for Qin Huairu.

Not only Qin Huairu knew that it was impossible for Chu Xiangqian to take the stick terrier as her son, but even she herself could not marry Chu Xiangqian.

If you can follow Chu forward all the time, you are already satisfied.

Since then, Jia Zhang's basically no longer asks Qin Huairu about being outside, but even so, Qin Huairu still goes to work on time and leaves work on time every day.

There is nothing abnormal at all, and Jia Zhang's own feeling that he is too suspicious.

But today, Qin Huairu suddenly came back more than 1 hour late, and if she looked closely, although her face was tired, her skin was white and red, and her eyes were also flattering.

Jia Zhang is not stupid, and quickly thinks in that direction.

During the meal, Jia Zhang's family noticed that Qin Huairu's appetite was not good, so he only drank half a bowl of stick noodle porridge, and Wowotou was divided between stick terrier and Xiaodang.

No need to guess, it must have been eaten outside.

Before Jia Zhang pulled Qin Huairu to ask, there were bursts of lively sounds outside.

Jia Zhang's family still wanted to go out to have a look, but Qin Huairu knew that it must be Chu Xiangqian's rival who had returned.

Thinking of being forced into a corner by Chu Qianqian before, and the combination punch output like a storm, Qin Huairu felt as if he was completely convinced.

But I thought of the coconut milk, grilled salmon, toasted breadfruit, and the durian that smelled disgusting and tasted sweet.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt that if he got married, he had to marry Chu Qianqian.

Even if he can't be his daughter-in-law, he is willing to be an outer room.

Jia Zhang's family saw that Qin Huairu was the same as before, and he looked indifferent to Chu Xiangqian's affairs, and he was faintly happy in his heart at first.

Ke walked out of the door of his house and stood under the eaves and watched Chu Xiangqian being surrounded by three uncles, stupid pillars, two brothers of the Liu family and a few other boys.

Jia Zhang's heart suddenly moved, as soon as this surnamed Chu came back, Huairu went home 1 hour late.

If it's a coincidence, it makes sense.

But once you start to doubt, no matter how you think and how you think that Qin Huairu is looking for it, she should only be looking for a man like Chu Xiangqian.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of her good skin.

Not to mention, in these years, only Chu Xiangqian will have no shortage of food or drink.

is the only one who can get meat in three days.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang felt that he should be angry. But in fact, when I really realized this, not only did I not mean to be angry, but I was glad in my heart.

Jia Zhang's first thought was that it was impossible for Chu Xiangqian to marry Qin Huairu.

When Chu Xiangqian got married before, his daughter-in-law had seen her in the whole hospital, and she was not only knowledgeable, but also very beautiful.

A fool would divorce and marry a widow with two children.

Then you don't need to change your surname.

Second, with Chu Xiangqian's care, the rod terrier will grow up in the future, let alone go to work in the rolling mill.

Maybe entering the factory is a regular worker, and after three or five years, once you get married, you don't have to worry about the work of the daughter-in-law.

And the has served you Chu Xiangqian for so many years, the stick terrier will get married in the future, Chu Xiangqian, who is the second father, must not help with the marriage room?

Can't sponsor more money to the stick terrier couple?

Thinking about it like this, Jia Zhang suddenly felt that Qin Huairu was too far-sighted.

If Chu Xiangqian knew about this, he might scold a few words at first, but after scolding, he would think that who do you look down on when you step on a horse?

Is it just such an ordinary and unpretentious wish?

Maybe you will feel that Jia Zhang's person is actually quite simple.

In other words, in her eyes, this is the greatest hope in her life.

As for looking for Chu Xiangqian to ask for benefits now, Jia Zhang's old pious woman looks bad, but she is by no means stupid.

When she was not liberated, she was a widow in the capital alone with her eldest son, and she knew the difficulties when she thought about it.

And now that his son is dead, Jia Zhang's first fear is that Qin Huairu will remarry, in that case, not only will his grandson and granddaughter have to follow Qin Huairu into someone else's house to live.

As an ex-mother-in-law, she may have to be lonely for the rest of her life in the future.

The second worry is naturally the future of the stick terrier.

Now no matter what aspect Chu Xiangqian has, it indicates that as long as Qin Huairu has been following him, he will definitely be able to feed back in the future.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Jia family can eat enough now.

If he starves every day, Jia Zhang's can only think about how to eat, not about the future.

Jia Zhang even felt at this time that if anyone knew about the relationship between Qin Huairu and Chu Xiangqian, he would have to jump out as soon as possible to prove their innocence for the two of them.

lest Chu Xiangqian, who was already married, immediately cut off his relationship with Qin Huairu in order to keep his marriage and future.

If you are ruthless, you will be driven out of the capital by Chu Xiangqian if you can't keep your family.

Thinking that Chu Xiangqian didn't even know how many enemies, tigers, and leopards he had killed, Jia Zhang's clan shuddered.

Secretly, how can this kind of person be something that an ordinary person can handle?

Maybe Huai Ru's figure and appearance are the best way to grasp Chu forward.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang's heart gave Qin Huairu a thumbs up again.

——

At night, Jia Zhang's pulled Qin Huairu to cheat, even if Qin Huairu denied it, his expression changed several times in a row, which also made Jia Zhang's sure that he had guessed correctly.

After Qin Huairu panicked, when he calmed down.

I thought that my mother-in-law would make trouble, but I didn't expect that Jia Zhang's actually took the initiative to say that for the sake of the future of the stick terrier, this matter had to be kept secret.

Even in order to keep everyone from troublesome in the future, Jia Zhang also took the initiative to encourage Qin Huairu to go for ligation.

This old pious woman clearly didn't want to see Qin Huairu have a second son.

lest she put all her mother's love on her second son, and ignore it, or even stop paying attention to it.

After Qin Huairu listened, she didn't know what to say.

Happy, unwilling, complacent, and other emotions all came to mind for a while.

Seriously, Qin Huairu was really willing to give birth to Chu Xiangqian in her heart.

But after getting along for so long, Chu Xiangqian used contraception every time, and Qin Huairu also knew that it was impossible for him to want Chu Xiangqian's child.

Since this is the case, it is better to have a minor operation, which can also make Chu Xiangqian feel at ease and like himself more.

Qin Huairu pretended to be helpless and nodded, but said that he had nothing to do with Chu Xiangqian.

I will go to the hospital for surgery, because I am worried that if I meet a bad person when I get off work or go out to collect old things, the widow will give birth to a baby, and not only will her reputation be ruined, but she may also be framed for messing with the relationship between men and women.

When the time comes, you'll have to lose your job.
