Siheyuan: starting from saving Qin Huairu

"Not that much."

He Yuzhu laughed, turned around and pretended to take something out of the cupboard.

He took out the steamed buns and lunch dishes from the canteen, put them on the stove to heat them up a little, and handed them to He Yuyu: "Come on, let's eat together."

He Yuyu took a look and understood - what Qin Jingru, Xiaodang and Huaihua ate were last night's leftovers, and what her brother brought out was today's new dish.

Although the new dishes did not include chicken, duck or fish, and were just big pot dishes, He Yuyu felt warm in his heart and felt comfortable.

I felt regretful again in my heart: I wish I had woken up early, but I have become smarter now, and I am about to get married.

For a while, I was a little reluctant to get married.

While eating, we talked about what happened today.

"The old lady bought me two new towels and a pack of wedding candies?" He Yuyu was surprised. He picked up the bright red towel and looked at the wedding candies. "You picked them up and bought them?"

"Brother, I am taking advantage of you, otherwise people will look down on me."

"If you treat me better, others will treat me better; if you don't see me as a sister in your eyes, they won't see me as a person either."

"I'm also surprised that the deaf old lady sometimes talks as if she is related to the revolutionary pioneers, and even says that she has made straw sandals. But sometimes she does things very well, and sometimes she is not so selfless."

He Yuzhu said: "Tell me, what happened to her in the past?"

He Yuyu shook his head: "The old lady is tight-lipped. If she doesn't tell, no one in this courtyard will know. Anyway, everyone knows that she is highly respected, and they don't know what her status is. No one dares to mess with her."

"My uncle and my mother are so close to her, so it's impossible for them to know her true past."

He Yuzhu thought thoughtfully: "Well, this old lady has really become a spirit with old age."

"If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have too many bad intentions towards my plot and wouldn't live for a few years, I would really be afraid that she would trick me."

"By the way, let's not mention her. There is one more thing I have to tell you."

"I want you to be more respectable in your mother-in-law's house, so that you won't be looked down upon by others. Although we don't have parents, I can't let you suffer, your brother."

"Brother, tell me." He Yuyu put down his chopsticks and listened carefully.

"My level as a cook has been raised, from level eight to level six."

He Yuzhu said.

"Really?" He Yuyu was surprised, "Brother, you can do it!"

Qin Jingru, who had just finished eating, put down her chopsticks and was peeling fish for the young Sophora japonica.

Hearing this, he stood up immediately, even more excited than He Yuyue: "Brother Yuzhu, your salary has also been increased?"

Brother and sister He Yuzhu and He Yuyu both turned to look at her.

You are so impatient...

This time, Qin Jingru immediately blushed.

"Well...isn't it...isn't level eight higher than level six? Why is there a level increase from level eight to level six?"

Qin Jingru blushed and asked the questions in her heart.

He Yuyu smiled and said: "You don't understand this. The workers in the first grade are low-level workers and the eighth-level workers are high."

"For childcare workers, cooks, projectionists, etc., level eight is the lowest and level one is the highest."

Qin Jingru was speechless: "Brother Yuzhu is an eighth-level cook, the lowest level, and he only earns thirty-seven yuan and fifty cents? The salary in the city is so much!"

"Our commune..."

After saying these four words, Qin Jingru's expression darkened and she could no longer speak.

She remembered what was on her mind.

Hey, it’s all my fault for being so quick-tongued that I messed up everything all at once!

"Brother, how much is your salary now?" He Yuyu asked.

"Fifty-one-five." He Yuzhu said.

He Yuyu was a little surprised: "That's quite a lot!"

Qin Jingru's eyes were bright and she couldn't bear to feel sorry for herself: "There are so many, Brother Yuzhu, you are so awesome!"

Fifty-one and a half...it's enough to eat white flour and meat every day.

I no longer have to eat mixed noodles, dried sweet potatoes, and stick noodles... What kind of magical life is this?

"Salary and cook level are actually not too important to me." He Yuzhu said to He Yuzhu, "You are getting married in a few days. You have to talk to Li Aiguo about this. You can't look at us siblings no matter what.

You two, without elders to take care of us, look down upon us."

He Yuyu nodded: "Yes, brother, I understand."

"I'll buy new bedding, a kettle, and a washbasin tomorrow."

"When the time comes, let Yan Bugui write a few happy words, and we will distribute some wedding candies in the courtyard."

"On the day of the wedding, I'll go to your husband's house and we'll sit down. It's up to me, a sixth-level cook, to provide food for them. You can also discuss it with Li Aiguo..."

"Some have a lot of staff and think the guests can't cook, while some have a few staff and don't care about it."

"Our two families will be relatives from now on. It's a good idea and a good idea. We can't ruin the harmony on happy occasions."

When He Yuzhu talked about He Yuzhu's marriage, he inevitably rambled a few more words.

He Yuyu's nose felt sore, and he couldn't help but push him coquettishly: "Brother, what are you doing, are you just thinking about marrying me off?"

"I don't even want to get married..."

Seeing her like this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.

The two brothers and sisters chatted and laughed for a while. After dinner, Xiaodang and Sophora japonica were both full.

Qin Jingru opened the door curtain to wash the dishes. When she looked up, she saw her cousin Qin Huairu standing in the cold middle courtyard.

Wearing a cotton-padded jacket with blue background and white flowers, she stood still, looking at the lights of He Yuzhu's house with blurred eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qin Jingru went out with the bowls and chopsticks, which immediately alarmed Qin Huairu.

"Xiaodang and Huaihua thank you and Yuzhu for taking care of me today. Please give me a thank you to Yuzhu..."

"It's getting late, let the two children go home and sleep."

Qin Jingru nodded and asked Xiaodang and Huaihua to come out.

"mom!"

"Well, have you had dinner with your Uncle Yuzhu?"

"Well, we're full! Uncle Yuzhu didn't even eat meat himself, but he ate a lot of meat for us!"

The child's crying went away as quickly as it came. Xiaodang had forgotten the troubles he had experienced more than an hour ago and said happily.

Qin Huairu didn't know why, but after hearing this, she wiped her eyes subconsciously.

Holding two children with two hands, her back was turned to Qin Jingru.

"Jingru, don't forget to thank Yuzhu for me."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she still couldn't help but looked back at the warm lights of He Yuzhu's house. With water in her eyes, she led Xiaodang and Huaihua back to Jia's house.

"To say thank you, do you need to leave a message? Why don't you just go ahead and say it with your mouth?"

Qin Jingru murmured curiously, finished washing the dishes quickly, and returned to the room where He Yuyu had already packed the tables and chairs.

The affairs of the courtyard and He Yuyu's marriage were all finished, and the meal was finished.

We should ask why Qin Jingru came to the capital with a package and stayed there for a while.

This seems different from what I said before.

As soon as He Yuyu started to ask, Qin Jingru covered her face and started crying: "You all blame me! I'm so stupid!"
