Chapter 227 Qin Jingru's Generation
"Hey, there's nothing to eat when we go back, and staying here isn't an option either, so I came back with Huizhen!"
Seeing He Daqing coming back, He Yuzhu also showed a helpless smile on his face.
After careful inquiries, He Daqing found out that the Xu family had encountered the same situation.
Even though He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen brought a lot of food, the Xu family's conditions were not very good, so the couple returned early.
However, what He Daqing did not expect was that He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi, who were going to visit relatives together, saw that He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen brought so much food with them, and they shamelessly refused to leave.
He Daqing was also speechless about this weird couple.
It's just a small pub, and it hasn't made any progress in all these years. It's really hopeless.
"Dad, who is this girl?"
He Yuzhu looked at Qin Jingru who was following He Daqing.
"Oh, this is Huairu's cousin. According to seniority, you should just call her aunt, right?"
Well, Qin Jingru is Qin Huairu's cousin, and can also be considered her sister-in-law.
Now that Qin Huairu is He Yuzhu's stepmother, it shouldn't be excessive for He Yuzhu to call Qin Jingru "Auntie", right?
"Hey, you're quite senior."
He Yuzhu was speechless when he heard this, but since she was Qin Huairu's sister, he had no choice but to call Qin Jingru "Auntie".
He Daqing said to Qin Jingru,
"Jingru, you should live here peacefully from now on. If I'm not here, you should look for Zhuzi, okay? Also, there's a guy named Xu Damao in the backyard. He's a bit of a bad person, stay away from him!"
"Yeah, brother-in-law, I get it!"
Qin Jingru nodded obediently, with a hint of shyness flashing across her face.
She was fourteen years old and had been living in the village. She had heard that her brother-in-law's family was well off in Sijiu City. Now that she had moved into the courtyard house, she realized how rich He Daqing was.
The main house is located in the middle courtyard. It would be fine if there was just such a big courtyard, but the key point is that there is actually an even larger main house in the backyard.
Such conditions are probably rare in this city, right?
"Jingru, you will live in this room today!"
Qin Huairu took her sister and walked around the house, then took her sister to the house where Tao Huilan lived before.
Although no one has lived here for many years, Tao Huilan cleans the house every day, so it is exceptionally clean.
The two sisters were whispering here, while on the other side, He Daqing had already started cooking.
I didn’t have breakfast, and I didn’t eat anything delicious in Qinjia Bay these two days. So when I came back today, I naturally had to cook a good meal.
Soon, a table full of sumptuous meals was prepared.
He Daqing simply called He Yushui, He Yuzhu and their families over, and the whole family had a lively reunion dinner.
However, looking at the food on the table, Qin Jingru felt a little at a loss.
When they were in the village, even in the past, their family could only eat chicken at most. This year, the situation was not good, and they were lucky to be able to eat potatoes and cabbage. They might not even be able to eat them one day.
But now?
On the dining table of He Daqing's house, there are chickens and ducks. Even the simplest vegetarian dishes can be turned into delicious dishes under He Daqing's processing.
Qin Jingru had never thought of such a life before!
Isn’t my brother-in-law’s family’s conditions too good?
"Jingru, don't just stand there, eat whatever you want, you're welcome!"
Seeing Qin Jingru staring at the food in a daze, He Daqing couldn't help but pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl.
Hey, look how thin this child is. Now that he is at home, he needs to supplement his nutrition well so that he can grow well!
Qin Jingru's appearance is actually quite good, but she is a little short. If she is trained well, she might be able to grow taller.
"Mmm, my brother-in-law's cooking is delicious!"
Qin Jingru smiled and quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
He Yushui, who was sitting next to him, was unhappy.
"Dad, I want to eat too!"
"Okay, okay, I'll eat rain water too!"
He Daqing was helpless and was so busy taking care of Qin Jingru that it made his daughter a little jealous.
She quickly put a piece of braised pork and a piece of fish into He Yushui's bowl.
He Yushui is now a grown-up girl. Every New Year, he and He Yuzhu visit their own relatives, but He Yushui is neglected.
Now that a little girl has been brought back home, He Yushui can't help but have a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Fortunately, He Daqing had no idea what the little girl was thinking. After a short while, He Yushui, who was about the same age as Qin Jingru, became good friends who could talk about anything.
After dinner, He Yushui took Qin Jingru back to her room.
When the two of them came out again, Qin Jingru's shabby clothes had disappeared, and she was wearing He Yushui's old clothes.
Even the whip on Qin Jingru's head was combed again by He Yushui.
It is said that clothes make the man, and after being dressed up by He Yushui, Qin Jingru has turned into a city girl.
"Hey, Yushui, who is this girl?"
In the backyard, Xu Damao took a nap and was feeling bored. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Qin Jingru, who was dressed up and standing there.
Xu Damao is now at the age of getting married. It's fine on weekdays, but he becomes extremely embarrassed during festivals like the Chinese New Year.
Yes, Lou Xiao'e had been pursuing him for a year but failed, and Xu Damao didn't like other girls either, so he was feeling very upset.
When he met Qin Jingru at this time, for some reason, Xu Damao felt as if his eyes had brightened.
"What girl? This is my aunt!"
He Yushui pulled Qin Jingru, looked at Xu Damao with an arrogant face, and warned,
"Xu Damao, my aunt is only fourteen years old, don't have any bad thoughts!"
During the meal, He Yushui saw how well He Daqing took care of Qin Jingru, and she felt a little sad. But when she thought about the famine in various places and that she had not had many good sisters for so many years, she gradually felt relieved.
There are only men in the family, and they can't talk about some things together. Now, with Qin Jingru here, she is not lonely anymore.
But He Yushui still dislikes Xu Damao.
In the past two years, Xu Damao has dated many girls. In He Yushui's opinion, Xu Damao is a little bit unserious and he must keep his distance from her.
"He is Xu Damao?"
Hearing this, Qin Jingru, who was standing aside, couldn't help but frown.
My brother-in-law just said that there is a person named Xu Damao who has a bad character, and asked me to keep a distance from Xu Damao.
Looking at it now, Xu Damao looks wretched and indeed doesn’t look like a good person!
While I was in a daze, I saw Xu Damao approaching me with a shameless face.
"Hey, Yushui, what are you talking about? Since she's your aunt, she's also my aunt!"
Xu Damao bowed to Qin Jingru and said enthusiastically,
"My name is Xu Damao. If you have anything to ask for, just tell me. Oh, by the way, I don't even know your aunt's name!"
Qin Jingru, "..."
