Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 17 Desire
When He Yuzhu left, Jia Zhang's face immediately darkened.

He stood up and made sure that He Yuzhu had returned to the room before closing the door.

Back at the table, Jia Zhang was cleaning up the dishes while coldly saying, "Humph, Qin Huairu, what do you mean? Why did you let Sha Zhu in to eat?"

"Mom... Shazhu brought back so many things, he must not have eaten them yet. If we don't let him into the house to eat, he will have to go back and cook. With his stubborn temper, he will never be able to bring lunch boxes to our house in the future."

Qin Huairu looked tired, and with her hands on her waist, she patiently explained to Jia Zhang.

She naturally knew what her mother-in-law was worried about, but she was definitely not that kind of person.

Ever since she entered the Jia family, everyone who treated Dongxu well was jealous.

Now that Dongxu is gone, she has to support the family and raise the children no matter what.

"Huh, that's the best!"

Jia Zhang also knew that Qin Huairu was right, but she couldn't say that she had made a single mistake. She complained again, "This Yi Zhonghai is the same. He is an eighth-level fitter. After all the talk, the factory only gave him a pension of 600 yuan. Otherwise, how could our family have lived such a hard life?"

"Mom, Uncle Yi has done his best in this matter. Please don't spread rumors in the hospital. After I give birth to the baby, I will take over Dongxu's shift. If Uncle Yi doesn't speak up for me, no workshop will want me."

Qin Huairu spoke with a hint of anxiety, fearing that her mother-in-law would offend Yi Zhonghai.

An eighth-level fitter plays an important role in the factory. As long as she has Yi Zhonghai's help, she is not afraid of any problems occurring at work.

"I can't even say anything at home! He is Dongxu's master, it's his duty to help you!"

Jia Zhang slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table, but her voice unconsciously lowered.

"Alright, alright. Stop nagging me and go lie down on the bed for a while to avoid a miscarriage. Are you going to take the lunch box to Sha Zhu or am I going to take it?"

Seeing Qin Huairu's tired face, Jia Zhang waved her hand impatiently.

She was not feeling sorry for Qin Huairu, but was worried about the baby in her belly.

The reason she asked this was because she had also been a widow and knew what Qin Huairu was planning.

Now the family is living on the pension money issued by the factory, so it would be a good thing if Sha Zhu could deliver lunch boxes more often.

Qin Huairu hesitated and said, "I'll take it over later. Uncle also told me at noon to spend more time with Shazhu..."

Jia Zhang interrupted impatiently, "Alright, just go and send him off, don't act like a big boss all day, he's not a good guy either."

After saying that, he went out to wash the lunch box.

Even if she was a worthless person, she would not let Qin Huairu wash lunch boxes in the yard late at night while she was pregnant.

Otherwise, if the matter gets to the street office, she might be driven back to the countryside!

ten minutes later.

Qin Huairu knocked on the door of He Yuzhu's house with a lunch box.

Qin Huairu held her waist and said softly, "Zhu Zi, thank you so much today. I will definitely repay you after I give birth to the baby."

Her ambiguous words, coupled with her coquettish voice, were too much for a single man like He Yuzhu to handle.

Before she finished speaking, He Yuzhu said, "Sister Qin, you are being too polite. Brother Jia has helped me and Yu Shui a lot in the past. Don't worry, next time I have a treat, I will bring you a lunch box. I guarantee that you will take good care of yourself and give birth to the baby smoothly."

"Thank you, Zhuzi. If it weren't for you and the old man's help, I don't know how my family would have survived." Qin Huairu's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she thanked him with a choked voice.

"Don't worry, don't worry, my dear sister, please don't cry at my doorstep. If someone sees you, they'll think I did something to you."

He Yuzhu was in a panic and didn't know what to do.

Finally, he took out a food coupon worth one kilogram from his pocket and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's hand.

"Sister, I know your family is short of food coupons. Take these food coupons and stop crying, okay?"

Qin Huairu held the food coupons and said anxiously, "Zhu Zi, I can't take your food coupons. If you give them to me, you will go hungry. Take them back quickly."

However, there seemed to be something wrong with her hand and she couldn't lift it up no matter what she did.

"Hey, Sister Qin, what do I do? I'm a cook! When have you ever been hungry as a cook? Just keep these food coupons, but don't cry at my door. I'm really scared."

He Yuzhu was touched. This was the first time someone cared whether he was hungry since his father He Daqing took the White Widow to Baocheng.

I unconsciously developed a better impression of Qin Huairu.

I want to marry a wife like Sister Qin, who is beautiful, virtuous, considerate, filial to the elderly at home and keeps the house in order.

No wonder everyone in the courtyard says that Sister Qin is a good daughter-in-law, isn't it because Sister Qin deserves the name "good"?

"Okay, Zhuzi, I won't cry anymore. I'm leaving now and won't cause you any more trouble. You should go to bed early too."

Qin Huairu quickly wiped her tears and was about to go home as if she had done something wrong, but just as she was about to turn around, she stopped and said softly, "Zhu Zi, why don't you come to my house and get some hot water? You just came back and there must be no hot water at home."

"No, no, I don't need hot water at night. Sister Qin, you should go back soon. It's cold outside at night. You will be frozen soon."

He Yuzhu didn't feel comfortable following her at this time, so he had to urge Qin Huairu to go back quickly.

"Well, I'll be leaving first. If there's anything I can help with, you must tell me, Zhuzi."

Qin Huairu gave one more reminder, then she supported her waist and slowly walked back to the Jia family.

He Yuzhu watched her all the way until Qin Huairu entered the house, then he turned around and went back.

But at this moment his mood was particularly uneasy. Thinking back to Qin Huairu's concern just now, he felt warm and extremely happy in his heart.

It contains the first heartbeats of young and old, as well as the satisfaction of their desire for care from loved ones.

After washing his face and calming down, He Yuzhu lay down on the bed.

The idea of ​​finding a wife in my mind became more urgent.

I don’t know when there will be news from the old man. It would be great if he could find someone as beautiful and gentle as Sister Qin.

As he was thinking, Qin Huairu's face appeared in He Yuzhu's mind again and fell asleep with him.
