Siheyuan: The final winner

Page 438

Jiang Ping'an won the honor, and the people in the courtyard were even more excited and happy than him.

Of course, Jiang Ping'an was also happy, but the peak of excitement had passed.

It took a lot of effort to come out of the yard.

Jiang Pingan didn't delay any longer, and rode his bicycle to the countryside at lightning speed.

Today is a beautiful day and the sun is shining.

When we arrived at Liangjia Village, we could only see smoke curling up everywhere.

Compared with the cold fire and autumn smoke at this time last year, the life of the folks this year is indeed much better.

Firstly, the disaster situation is gradually getting out of the way, and secondly, the villagers are well prepared this year, and they have stockpiled winter grain early.

Although it is not possible to eat and drink, but at the end of the year, you can still eat a few full meals.

After arriving home.

I saw Qin Jingru and her sister-in-law cleaning up the dust at home, very busy.

Both of them were wearing shabby clothes and covered their hair with cloth, but there was a lot of dust on their faces.

"Ping An came so early? Take a break first, we'll be done soon." Qin Jingru said with a smile.

After Jiang Ping'an parked his bicycle, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's still early, you can go back before dark."

Qin Huairu returned to her natal home on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Jiang Ping'an brought Qin Jingru a letter saying that she would take her into the city.

So Qin Jingru also knew that Jiang Ping'an was here to pick her up.

"I thought you'd come to pick me up on New Year's Eve, hehe..." Qin Jingru smiled.

Jiang Pingan smiled and asked, "How much food do you have at home? Take it to your house later!"

"Farewell to Ping An, it's easy to put the food there, we'll eat it when you come back." Aunt Qin said quickly.

Jiang Pingan shook his head and smiled, "We have no shortage of food."

"Besides, Jingru will come to the city with me this time, and it may take a year to come back."

"These grains should be given in advance as a New Year's gift..."

5 Chapter Twenty

Soon.

After cleaning, the three of Jiang Pingan came to the kitchen to check the food and other supplies.

"There are more than 80 catties of corn flour and [-] to [-] catties of white flour." Qin Jingru said with a smile.

Every time Jiang Ping'an went to the countryside, he moved all kinds of supplies to the countryside like a groundhog.

Qin Jingru couldn't eat it all by herself, so she gradually accumulated so much.

"There are six cans of lard, three pieces of bacon, two pieces of dried fish, seven or eight pieces of sausage, and more than 20 eggs..."

As she spoke, Qin Jingru frowned slightly.

Because all these things had to be given to her natal family, she was a little bit reluctant.

Jiang Ping'an also found that there were a lot of things, not because he was reluctant.

Instead, these things were moved to the Qin family, fearing that it would cause trouble for them.

Qin Jingru's natal family is not a single family like Jiang Ping'an's, and no one usually comes here.

The houses of her natal family are next to each other, and there are quite a few people visiting each other.

If people see so many things in her house, even if they know that Jiang Ping'an sent them, some people will be jealous.

These days, especially in rural areas, if you can eat stick noodles and sweet potatoes, it's pretty good.

And these in the kitchen are not only fine grains, but also all kinds of meat, even if they want to eat, they can only eat secretly.

"Jingru, run over and call your parents over, let's discuss it," Jiang Ping'an said.

"These things are all bought and eaten, and they must not be left alone, or they will all be broken in the hot weather at the beginning of the new year."

"Ping An, why don't you take all the food back to the city?" Aunt Qin suggested.

"I heard from Qin Huairu last time that although the city eats commercial food, there is a shortage of food."

Jiang Pingan shook his head and said, "The supplies I have prepared in the city are only more than here, not less than here."

"Okay, I'll call my parents over now." Qin Jingru no longer struggled, nodded and said.

Sister-in-law Qin answered, "I'd better make a trip, because I happen to be at home watching the two children."

"That's fine, by the way, ask Brother Qin to come with you." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Aunt Qin responded, then turned and left.

Qin Jingru said: "I'm a bit reluctant to part with so much food."

"Don't be reluctant, this is not for outsiders." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Qin Jingru smiled, nodded and said, "Hehe, that's true."

"Sit down for a while, I'll change into clean clothes, and wash up by the way, my face is covered in dust."

Jiang Pingan saw that although she was wearing a ragged padded jacket, she still couldn't hide her plump figure, so he reached out to grab her.

Qin Jingru patted him lightly, rolled his eyes and said:

"Don't make trouble, my parents will come over soon, this is not the time."

As he said that, he giggled, dodged in a flash, and went to change clothes.

Jiang Pingan smiled, sat down, lit a cigarette and waited.

Soon, Qin Jingru changed clothes and came out, and poured hot water to wash her face.

"I told my brother that after I go to the city, I will let him come and take care of the house." Qin Jingru said.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "You might as well let your brother and sister-in-law move here, it's more spacious here."

"Hehe, you're not afraid that they will stay here, so you just hang on?" Qin Jingru asked with a smile.

"Whether it's the room, the furniture, or the pots and pans in our house, there's nothing wrong with it."

Jiang Ping'an slowly shook his head and said, "Your brother and your sister-in-law are both responsible people and will not take advantage of us."

Although people's hearts are unpredictable, Jiang Ping'an believes that even Qin Jingru's brother and sister-in-law have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

He also has enough means to let them give up the house obediently, and he dare not complain.

Of course, it's best not to take that step.

Qin Jingru smiled slightly and said, "You trust them, but they really won't take advantage of us."

"My dad said that after a few years when life gets easier, the house will be demolished and rebuilt, and a green brick house will be built."

"Even if it is not rebuilt, although the house is a bit old, it is spacious and comfortable to live in."

After washing his face, Qin Jingru came to Jiang Ping'an's lap and sat down, hugging his neck.

Jiang Ping'an reached into her clothes, kissed her, and asked with a smile:

"You've always wanted to go to the city, and I'm going to take you there today. How do you feel now?"

Qin Jingru blinked her eyes, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Well, I'm looking forward to it, nervous, and a little apprehensive."

"Uneasy? What are you worried about?" Jiang Ping'an asked in surprise. His clothes were extraordinarily warm, and he couldn't help pinching them.

Qin Jingru bit her lip and said in a low voice, "I heard from my cousin that many things happened in your yard this year?"

"I heard you say that those people are not good people before. I'm afraid I won't get along well with them."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Your worry is unnecessary, it didn't let you get along well with all of them."

"It's the so-called knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, not to mention that those people have a lot of minds, so they naturally have a lot of problems."

"Get along with people, as long as you have a decent face, you are my partner, and they will not do anything to you."

"Don't forget, I'm a cadre now, and my rank is not low. Only others can see our face..."

As she said that, she took her hand out of her clothes again, and said with a smile, "Your parents are here."

Qin Jingru was startled, and came out of his arms with a ruddy face, walked to the side, took a few deep breaths, and smoothed his clothes.

"When are we going to leave?" She asked with a faint smile, her winking eyes filled with spring.

Jiang Ping'an got up and went out to meet Qin Jingru's parents, and said as he walked, "Let's go immediately after we have finished talking."

In the courtyard dam.

"Haha, Ping'an came early enough!" Qin Dingguo laughed and said.

Jiang Pingan smiled and said, "I'm busy at the end of the year, so I can take care of other things with peace of mind if I bring Jingru to the city earlier."

"Before leaving, I need to tell Uncle Qin about some food at home."

After speaking, he took Qin Dingguo, Qin Youming and his son to the kitchen.

As for Qin Jingru's mother, she pulled Qin Jingru aside to talk.

When he arrived in the kitchen, Jiang Pingan pointed to various supplies and said, "I originally planned to move the things directly to your house."

"When I was cleaning up the supplies just now, I realized that there were a lot. If I really want to move there, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact if people see it."

"What I mean is that the food is placed here, and if you want to eat, you can take it quietly, and take as much as you want."

"Don't save for us. After Jingru and I entered the city, we won't be short of food, and we will come back less frequently."

"We won't go to the countryside during the Chinese New Year. We will get a certificate soon after the new year, and it won't be too late to come back then."

The end of the Gregorian calendar is February, and the [-]th day of the first month will be March in the Gregorian calendar.

Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru can get the certificate.

This is also the reason why he dares to bring Qin Jingru into the city with great fanfare.

Qin Dingguo and Qin Youming were too excited to speak when they saw so many supplies.

Not to mention these fish and meat, just replace fine grains with coarse grains, or even miscellaneous grains.

Enough to feed their family for months.

Chapter 521 Qin Jingru enters the city, everyone warmly welcomes her

After ten o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru left, not knowing where Qin Youming found a set of firecrackers to light.

"Crackling!..."

Many people from the Qin family came to the Qin family village to see them off.

"Jingru has been talking about wanting to marry in the city, and her wish has come true!"

"This girl is blessed. If she marries Ping An, she will have nothing to worry about in her life!"

"It's not just that you don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's about becoming an official wife, and the happy life begins!"

"..."

Everyone was chattering, saying that Qin Jingru had a good life, and many girls envied her.

Jiang Pingan pushed his bicycle forward, chatting with people from time to time.

Qin Jingru sat in the back seat and bid farewell to her family.

Qin Dingguo's family sent each other all the way to the main road before stopping.

"Jingru, after entering the city, listen to the words of safety, be diligent, and don't be lazy!" Mother Qin urged.

Qin Jingru waved his hand and said, "Mom, I'm working hard, don't send it away, just come here!"

"Ping An, Jingru is a careless girl, if there is anything she can't do well, please bear with me." Qin Dingguo said.

Jiang Pingan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will raise her like a daughter!"

"Haha, you boy, you are out of shape again!" Qin Dingguo laughed.
