Traveling back to 1952, starting a comeback from a relief station

Qin Huairu nodded happily.

My family can finally come to the city!

Brother Ping An is so busy, yet he still manages to arrange things at her home so meticulously, even planning ahead for the tasks of connecting people. How could an ordinary man be so thoughtful?

After finishing the meal.

She picked up a needle and thread and began mending her clothes.

She did these jobs every day back in her hometown and was very familiar with them.

Wang Anping was getting ready to go out for a stroll.

He rarely reads books at home in the evenings.

After all, most light bulbs are incandescent now, and they're usually 15 watts, which isn't bright enough. Your eyes will get sore after reading for a while under that light.

Although given his physical condition, it is unlikely that he will become nearsighted.

But he has plenty of time during the day.

There's no need to study hard at night.

Before leaving, Wang Anping casually remarked:

"Let's buy a sewing machine tomorrow; it'll save you trouble with mending and sewing."

Qin Huairu was already used to Wang Anping's lavish spending, but the way he said he wanted to buy a sewing machine, as casually as if he were saying "I'll eat rice instead of steamed buns tomorrow," still made her a little uncomfortable.

At the same time, I felt a little sorry for the money:

"Sewing machines are too expensive."

"It's just the two of us, we don't need that. If the clothes are torn, I can sew them by hand, it's no trouble."

Wang Anping shook his head slightly, seemingly unconcerned:

"I just received 300 yuan in royalties a few days ago. If we have money, we should spend it without thinking too much."

Having a sewing machine at home is always a lot more convenient.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile, unable to hide it.

She knew exactly what was going on.

When her husband wanted to buy a sewing machine, it wasn't like Jia Zhangshi's idea—to get her daughter-in-law to take on jobs and supplement the family income. He genuinely cared about her.

Thank goodness we don't have WeChat Moments anymore.

otherwise.

Qin Huairu will definitely show her best friends what cruelty is!

When Wang Anping arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, there were still many neighbors gathered in the courtyard—the court was bustling with activity today, with one thing after another happening.

After finishing his meal, Jia Dongxu took Chen Ting to show off in the yard.

That look is just like those clueless young men who have just started dating and can't wait to show off their girlfriends to the world.

Wang Anping came in.

Almost everyone's eyes immediately turned to this.

Everyone remembers that this guy stole Jia Dongxu's first blind date, and he ruined the second one too.

Everyone just wanted to see.

Will he get involved with this girl too?

Chen Ting was chatting with Jia Dongxu and others when she noticed everyone suddenly looking in one direction, so she curiously looked up as well.

Before she could even see clearly, Jia Dongxu had already stepped in front of her.

Jia Zhangshi also came out.

Wang Anping, who was approaching, was speechless.

She had given him two pairs of shoes before, and Wang Anping had promised not to cause trouble when Jia Dongxu went on his blind date.

How can you go back on your word?

But this wasn't the time to reason. Madam Jia turned and gave Jia Dongxu a meaningful look:

"Dongxu, it's getting late. You should take Xiao Chen home."

Then, forcing a smile, he turned to Wang Anping and said:

"Anping, have you eaten yet?"

"Come on, let's go inside and sit down."

Are those shoes you're wearing comfortable?

"There are a few new pairs in the room. Take a look and see if any fit!"

Wang Anping was a little depressed.

He saw right through Jia Zhangshi's intentions.

That's a huge misunderstanding!

He's a respectable man who never goes back on his word, but surely he shouldn't be unable to leave his own home because of this?

He pointed in the direction of the He family's house and smiled:

"Don't be nervous, I'm going to see Uncle He about something."

"Please go ahead with your work. Congratulations on finding such a decent and sensible daughter-in-law!"

That tone.

It's purely the concern of elders for younger generations.

Jia Dongxu's heart tightened, and as if avoiding a plague, he quickly led Chen Ting outside:

"Chen Ting, I'll take you home."

Watching Jia Dongxu and Chen Ting's hurried departure, a strange look flashed in Wang Anping's eyes.

He had vaguely overheard that the two of them were already discussing getting their marriage certificate. Since they were in love, Wang Anping naturally wouldn't want to spoil their fun.

Without saying anything more, he turned around and went into the He family's house.

"Old He, you're having a drink!"

"You idiot Zhu, don't you have any common sense? Get me a stool!"

"You're so dense, you just don't get it!"

"Even Dongxu has found a girlfriend from outside now. If you're still this naive, you'll never find a girlfriend in the future."

Sha Zhu originally wanted to stubbornly argue, but he only calmed down after He Daqing kicked him.

He Daqing's face was full of smiles:

"Anping, please sit down!"

"Let me introduce you. This is my son, Cai Quanwu. He suffered a lot before, and he will be moving into our courtyard from now on."

"Don't let his appearance fool you; he's got the same brain as that idiot Zhu. He's a blockhead, a stubborn mule who doesn't say a word. You'll have to give him some pointers."

"We were able to find him thanks to you this time; I really should thank you!"

"Sit down and have a drink together."

Then he turned to Cai Quanwu and said:

"Nothing at all, let me introduce it to you."

"This is Wang Anping from the front yard, the most capable person in our yard."

"Although he has only been in Beijing for a short time, he has accomplished so much that it is impossible to list everything in a short time. Just remember that he is a capable person."

"From now on, just listen to whatever Anping tells you to do."

Although Cai Quanwu still felt somewhat awkward towards He Daqing, he didn't really like to talk to him.

But it's still pleasant to other people's senses.

Others might see him as dull and silent, but Wang Anping knew in his heart that this seemingly simple-minded guy was actually very wise and insightful.

Wang Anping waved his hand dismissively at He Daqing's flattery, grabbed a handful of peanuts from the plate, and looked at Cai Quanwu:

"Xiao Cai, right?"

"Do you have time tomorrow morning? Ride your tricycle and come with me to the department store."

Cai Quanwu paused for a moment, then didn't respond immediately, which puzzled He Daqing:

"Why are you going to the department store?"

Wang Anping:

"I'm planning to buy a sewing machine."

"By the way, could you pick up my father-in-law and his family at Deshengmen Station the day after tomorrow at noon?"

Wang Anping made the arrangements as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

He also casually said:

"As for the shipping fee, ask your father for it."

Since He Daqing had suggested that he give Cai Quanwu some pointers, Wang Anping also wanted to take the opportunity to see what kind of person the kid really was.

Is he really as insightful and measured as rumored?

He Daqing waved his hand and said:

"Forget about shipping fees, just let me know if you need anything, I won't bother you."

Sha Zhu, standing to the side, watched as Wang Anping acted as if he were no outsider, ordering Cai Quanwu around.

He said indignantly:

"Wang Anping, you've really become a big shot now!"

"My brother makes money by pedaling a tricycle, and you, on the other hand, are directly giving orders and don't even want to pay a cent."

"That's ridiculous!"

Although Cai Quanwu remained silent, he was by no means stupid.

Although they didn't speak.

But he kept observing everything around him.
