An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Chapter 202 They Got It

That evening, Sister Qin, who was inexplicably feeling a little heavy-hearted, leaned over.

Jiang Baobin asked with a cheeky grin, "What do you want to do? Are you trying to molest me? I'll call for help."

Qin Huairu: "Hey, stop messing around, I have something to tell you (wait, I should say, shouting until you're hoarse won't help)."

"You startled me. I thought you had ulterior motives. Well then, tell me."

"Binzi, is it true, like Reporter Hu said, that you're really going to be in the newspaper?"

"Pretty much. They wouldn't go through all that trouble just to see rural scenery, would they?"

"Um, would you be disgusted with me if I made it into the newspaper?"

"Strange? Why would I dislike you?"

"I'm a country girl."

"Sigh, if you go back three generations, they were basically all from the countryside."

"I can't read yet."

"That's not important. You don't need to go to university to invent an atomic bomb."

Qin Huairu was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Cooked."

"Hey, be serious!"

"Okay, okay, I'll be good to you, as long as you listen to me."

"I'll listen to you, from now on I'll do whatever you say!"

"It's a deal then. If you find out in the future that I've made a mistake that all men make, you're not allowed to be angry."

Qin Huairu had no idea what the joke was: "What do you mean by 'a mistake all men make'?"

You'll find out then.

"oh."

Qin Huairu, who felt like she was living in a honey pot, wasn't interested in this.

During the Republic of China era, wives were very lenient with their husbands.

Things changed (improved) later.

Compare this to the incorrigible Japanese—do you understand now?

If you don't understand, just think about it slowly. I'm also at a loss. There are experts out there.

Therefore, the status of women in our country will truly be high in the future; the saying "holding up half the sky" is no joke.

Those who eagerly ran away, especially those who went to Japan, are just...unbelievable.

Qin Huairu asked curiously, "Binzi, what if you make it into the newspaper?"

"Will I be recognized wherever I go?"

"If it were someone else, it wouldn't be like this, but I'm just too handsome."

"The impression it makes is so strong, so this possibility is very high."

"When the time comes, some female comrades will ask me for autographs, take photos with me, or even hug me."

"Don't be angry, it was all just an act."

"I'm not angry, I just think you're really amazing."

"Absolutely, who is your man? He's incredibly capable."

"Yeah, I always thought you could do anything—hey, just behave yourself!"

"I'm talking to you about something serious—hehe, don't tickle me—"

Then the two of them started poking and prodding each other.

But one person had already pricked up his ears.

I want to know what the effect of an hour of base makeup is.

There was no ill intent; it was just pure curiosity.

Unfortunately, although Jiang Baobin's ideas were far ahead of people of his time.

But it doesn't have the quirk of doing live broadcasts.

So after a while of being affectionate, the two of them quieted down.

So someone gave it a really bad review —

After Hu Hongjun left, it was as if the bugle call to charge had been sounded!

The next day, newspapers and magazines sent reporters to the small village of Qinggezhuang.

The simplest way is to reprint it, since copyright and authorship aren't really taken into account these days.

Newspaper articles are meant for everyone to read, so it's perfectly normal to share them; giving a heads-up is already a polite gesture.

But who doesn't have some ambition? Copying others' ideas is meaningless.

Therefore, those currently arriving are only from Beiping and surrounding cities.

Judging from this situation, it seems that those from other places won't be able to hold them off either.

The song became so popular that, frankly, even Jiang Baobin himself didn't expect it to be so popular.

This song truly resonated with the sentiments of workers, farmers, and soldiers.

It was like a whirlwind, sweeping across the five continents in an instant!

When the 6th comes, things will get even more incredible!

Because Hu Hongjun's report was published.

In the article, the aura of genius surrounding Jiang Baobin is downplayed.

However, his image as humble, hardworking, patriotic, and compassionate was amplified.

The next day, the small village of Qin Ge Zhuang was in an uproar—leaders and reporters flocked in like a tide—

The villagers who had previously openly and subtly ridiculed Jiang Baobin were now completely dumbfounded.

This son-in-law of the Qin family is like a sparrow in the public palace, soaring high on its back—he has the ability to conquer the heavens!

Jiang Baobin was also stunned. He had been very popular in his previous life, but it wasn't like this.

His first thought was to run!

Dude, you really messed up this time!

To be honest, he came from a humble background and was far inferior in terms of vision and shrewdness.

He can still manage to stockpile supplies and make a profit from the price difference.

It's understandable that he wants to be famous; after all, nobody wants to die young.

But he simply couldn't see the current situation clearly.

The United States is acting aggressively, much like Xiang Zhuang's sword dance aimed at Liu Bang.

He really knows how to seize opportunities!

Jiang Baobin, who wanted to run away, felt even more like crying after calming down a bit!

Because he's already realized what's going on, and now it's too late to back down. This is giving him face. If he doesn't back down and instead abandons the cause, what will he think he'll do?

So: interviews, posing, and exchange meetings—interviews, posing, and exchange meetings.

Every day, the same routine repeats itself.

Jiang Baobin was annoyed, but he dared not be annoyed, so he could only persevere.

This wind not only submerged Qinggezhuang, but also reached Nanluoguxiang.

Jiang Mantang and his mother became hot commodities overnight.

The most frequently asked question is: How did they raise Jiang Baobin from a young age? What are their insights?

The couple was completely bewildered for a long time—cultivate? Have we ever done that?

If there is anything to it, it's that we don't care, we don't care at all.

So, in the reporter's mouth, it became:

The author, Jiang, grew up in an extremely poor family, and his parents worked tirelessly to make a living.

But thanks to his perseverance and thirst for knowledge, the author, Jiang, became self-taught!

That's why, after he succeeded, he was filled with care and compassion for the poor.

Every day, people come and go in Qinggezhuang, and one person is so happy he's practically snotting through his nose.

Who is it? It's Aunt Qin!

This is a rural area with difficult roads, so it's not easy for a thief to come here.

So we all have to eat here.

As a result, Qin Ma was so busy collecting food fees that she couldn't keep up with the demand.

It's understandable; people who have never seen money before can be happy for half a day with just a few coins.

Jiang Baobin persevered for a few days, but he simply couldn't hold on any longer.

It's not for any other reason than that living in a house where the whole family shares a single kang (heated brick bed) seriously affects his plans to have children.

Qin Huairu is also disappointing; she messed things up at crucial moments.

I started working on it in early July, and now it's October, but there's still no progress.

Her figure has become increasingly plump, mainly due to increased nutrition and her growing appetite.

According to my estimate, I only have a maximum of two months left.

Given his understanding of the system, it was impossible for him to let himself off the hook.

It's been keeping quiet all day long; it's been holding back a big move.

We've done enough posing, so it's time to go.

Nanluoguxiang is no good; it's definitely more troublesome than this place.

Fortunately, he was well-versed in the principle of having three burrows, and had already prepared a way out at Dongsi Archway.

Although Yang Lao Er lived in the courtyard, there was always one room reserved for himself.

So, this guy carried Qin Huairu on his back and left a note.

On a dark and stormy night, they slipped away quietly.

The next day, Qin's mother was so angry she slapped her thigh. "That little bastard! Isn't he cutting off my livelihood?!"

To be honest, Jiang Baobin really wasn't after fame.

So after secretly returning to Beiping, he lived a secluded life.

Fortunately, he has a complex personality; he can blend into lively crowds and persevere in quiet moments.

Besides, there's Gao Junbao, and the Yang family's children too.

He has a real knack for teasing children.

For example, let them flick each other's foreheads, and give candy to the last one who doesn't cry.

If all else fails, there's always Qin Huairu, who's still newlywed.

The initial staleness hasn't worn off yet; it'll be several more years before we grow tired of each other.

Qin Huairu (with a bitter face): Can I take a break? I'm exhausted!

Jiang Baobin (angrily): How can you blame me? Who told you to be so unfilial?

Qin Huairu:

Okay, Jiang Baobin is indeed a bit too hot-tempered!

Because I strongly suspect that I've been tricked by the system—

The more you want something, the less likely it is to give it to you.

Just to get revenge on himself for taking the opportunity to hit its bamboo bar earlier.

But the thought of Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao's fate made him tremble.

Damn it! I'll risk it all!
