Chapter 386 Qin Jingru enters the city!
Chapter 386 Qin Jingru enters the city!
Qin Jingru carried her luggage and sat on the back of the bicycle. She looked at the bustling Sijiu City and said to Qin Huairu, who was riding the bicycle, with a face full of longing: "Sister! This city is so lively. I wish I could marry into the city like you in the future."
Qin Huairu, who was riding a bicycle, heard Qin Jingru's words and said to her while pedaling her bicycle: "Jingru! The food in the city is supplied. If you don't have a grain certificate, you can only eat premium grain."
"Nowadays, a child's class status is determined by his mother. When my sister first married into the city, she didn't change her household registration because she couldn't bear to leave her land in the countryside. As a result, when the city began to implement the bill policy, your brother-in-law was the only one in our family who had food supplies. My mother-in-law, Bang Geng and the others could only buy expensive food on the black market."
"Later, your brother-in-law passed away due to a work-related injury, so I took over his job at the factory. Because of the handover, Banggeng and I had the opportunity to change from farmers to non-farmers and eat the food supply. If you want to marry into the city, it's not an easy thing to do unless you find a widower whose wife has died, or a bachelor with disabilities."
Qin Jingru, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately showed a disappointed expression on her face when she heard Qin Huairu's analysis. She asked Qin Huairu unwillingly, "Sister! Is there really no way out?"
Actually there is a way, which is to find a formal job in the city, so that you can obtain the quota for agricultural-to-non-agricultural conversion, but the work quota in the city is not so easy to get.
If the steel mill had not expanded its recruitment this time, the steel mill would have just assigned Jia Dongming several work targets. In addition, Qin Huairu had coaxed Jia Dongming into giving her a work target for her brother. Therefore, Qin Huairu would never tell Qin Jingru about this method.
Qin Huairu heard Qin Jingru's question and felt the reluctance in her heart. In order to avoid hurting Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu answered while riding her bicycle: "Jingru! You are still young, and it will take several years before you get married. Maybe you will have a chance in the future."
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Huairu finally returned to the courtyard with Qin Jingru. Qin Huairu pushed the bicycle and led Qin Jingru, who was holding the luggage in her arms, into the courtyard.
When Yang Ruihua saw Qin Huairu leading a strange little girl into the front yard from outside, he immediately asked Qin Huairu: "Huairu! Who is this little girl?"
When Qin Huairu heard Yang Ruihua's question, she immediately introduced her to Yang Ruihua: "Aunt Yang! This is my third uncle's cousin Qin Jingru. She came to the city with me to play for a few days."
Qin Huairu said this and smiled as she introduced Qin Jingru: "Jingru! This is Aunt Yang from the front yard. You can just call her Aunt Yang."
"Hello, Aunt Yang!" Qin Jingru called out obediently when she heard Qin Huairu's introduction.
After Qin Jingru greeted Yang Ruihua, Qin Huairu pushed her bicycle and led Qin Jingru towards the central courtyard.
Since it was not time to cook dinner yet, the aunties and young wives in the courtyard gathered in the middle courtyard to chat. When everyone saw Qin Huairu pushing a bicycle and leading a young girl into the middle courtyard, the auntie immediately asked Qin Huairu: "Huairu! Who is this girl?"
When Qin Huairu heard Auntie's question, she immediately smiled and introduced them to everyone: "Auntie! Auntie Zhou! Auntie Chen! This is my third uncle's cousin Qin Jingru. She came to the city with me to play for a few days."
Qin Huairu stopped here and turned to introduce the people present to Qin Jingru. After Qin Huairu greeted everyone, she led Qin Jingru towards the villa.
"Mom! My aunt took me to the park to roller skate this morning. It was so much fun!" Banggeng, who was playing in the yard, saw Qin Huairu pushing a bicycle from the middle courtyard into the other courtyard. He immediately went up to her happily and told her that Lin Qiuyue took him to play in the morning.
After hearing what Bang Geng had introduced and seeing his excited expression, Qin Huairu smiled and said to him, "Bang Geng! Look, who did Mom bring here?"
Bang Geng heard Qin Huairu's question and then saw Qin Jingru following behind her. He immediately asked her curiously, "Aunt! Why are you here at my house?"
Qin Jingru heard Banggeng's question and saw a few strangers in the yard. She replied a little awkwardly: "Banggeng! Your aunt and your mother are coming to your house to play for a few days. Do you welcome them?"
Banggeng nodded and replied immediately after hearing what Qin Jingru said: "Aunt! Of course I welcome you to our home. Let me introduce you. This is my aunt's sister, Aunt Qiuyu, and this is Aunt Qiuyu's classmate, Aunt Wenfang. They all watch TV at my home every night." Qin Jingru was puzzled after hearing what Banggeng introduced. She asked Banggeng curiously: "Banggeng! What is TV?"
When Bang Geng heard Qin Jingru ask what a TV is, he was obviously stunned at first, but he quickly reacted and introduced it to Qin Jingru proudly: "Aunt! A TV is an appliance that can be used to watch movies, operas, and cartoons. My uncle bought it, but you can only watch it after dark at night."
After hearing Banggeng's introduction, Qin Jingru's originally puzzled face turned into a shocked expression. She quickly asked Banggeng, "Banggeng! Can the TV you mentioned really be used to watch movies?"
Bang Geng nodded affirmatively when he heard Qin Jingru's question and replied, "Aunt! This is absolutely true, and I can watch TV at home every night, but my uncle requires me to finish my homework before watching it!"
Bang Geng said this, and suddenly remembered that he went out to play with Lin Qiuyue this morning, but he hadn't done his homework yet. He instinctively blurted out, "Homework! I haven't done my weekend homework yet. I have to do my homework."
As he said this, Bang Geng ran towards the small door of the Jia family's old house.
Qin Jingru saw Banggeng running towards a small door in a panic, and asked Qin Huairu, who had parked her bicycle, with a curious look on her face: "Sister! Can you really watch TV on the TV that Banggeng just mentioned?"
Qin Huairu nodded subconsciously when she heard Qin Jingru's question, and said to Qin Jingru: "Jingru! Wait for me here for a while, I will put these dry goods in the kitchen, and then take you to the house to settle down first."
Qin Huairu walked into the main hall with the bag and saw Jia Zhang and Jia Dongming chatting in the main hall. She introduced them to the three of them: "Mom! Brother Dongming! Sister-in-law! This is my third uncle's cousin, Qin Jingru. She came to the city with me today to play for a few days."
When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's introduction and saw the somewhat rustic Qin Jingru standing behind Qin Huairu, an expression of dissatisfaction immediately appeared on her originally happy face. However, because Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue were there, Jia Zhang quickly put away the dissatisfaction on her face.
Qin Huairu saw her mother-in-law's dissatisfied expression, and her heart skipped a beat. It was not until she saw Jia Zhang return to normal that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she introduced her to Qin Jingru: "Jingru! Let me introduce you, this is my mother-in-law, and these two are Banggeng's uncle and aunt."
When Qin Jingru heard Qin Huairu's introduction, she immediately greeted everyone politely: "Hello, Auntie! Hello, Uncle! Hello, Auntie!"
Qin Jingru is a vain woman in the plot. Faced with Xu Damao's sweet words and the temptation of money, she finally married Xu Damao.
However, the couple did not have children after marriage. Later, Qin Jingru found out that Xu Damao himself was infertile. In addition, Xu Damao was hypocritical and unfaithful, so the couple ended up getting divorced.
Xu Damao was desperate and came to the courtyard. Seeing that he did not steal anything and wanted to start a new life, everyone forgave him. Xu Damao realized his shortcomings and decided to turn over a new leaf and learn cooking from Sha Zhu. Qin Jingru saw that Xu Damao was so sincere and announced that she wanted to reconcile with Xu Damao.
Seeing Qin Jingru, who was dressed in old-fashioned clothes, Jia Dongming couldn't help but admire the strong genes of the Qin family. Seeing Qin Huairu's eyes seeking help, Jia Dongming smiled and greeted Qin Jingru: "Jingru! Welcome to our home."
When Qin Huairu heard what Jia Dongming said, she immediately said to him, "Brother Dongming! My father and mother know that you like to eat mountain products, so they asked me to bring some back for you."
When Jia Dongming heard what Qin Huairu said, he smiled and said to her, "Huairu! Uncle and aunt are really something. I just said it casually last time, but I didn't expect that uncle and aunt would remember it in their hearts."
