Siheyuan: The Final Winner

the next day.

Before dawn, Qin Huairu packed up her things, carried Xiaodang, and took the bus back to the city.

When they were leaving, it was Jiang Ping'an who took the two of them to the main road by bicycle.

Jiang Pingan knew that no matter how nostalgic Qin Huairu was with him, it was nothing compared to the Jia family.

This is why, he only loves Qin Huairu's body, but never has any illusions about her emotionally.

Unlike Liang Ladi, although Jiang Ping'an didn't act too emotionally, he paid more in the end.

Such as food, meat, sugar, cloth, and even help Liang Ladi transfer work.

With these efforts, in this year, I can marry a very good daughter-in-law.

After sending Qin Huairu away, Qin Jingru also went to work in the commune, and Jiang Pingan happened to find time to cook in the mountains.

When he got home, Jiang Pingan took the quilts that he and Qin Huairu slept on, and put them all in the space.

I will definitely spend the night in the mountains today. It is cold, so there is no harm in bringing extra quilts.

In addition, he brought single beds, straw mats, straw mats, brown mats and other materials.

There is no need to bring wood, there is plenty in the space.

Although there are no big trees of high age, they are enough for burning.

After felling trees, the space is dried, which is very convenient in the blink of an eye.

I also bring all the pots and pans at home, so I can use them when cooking.

After all preparations were made, Jiang Ping'an locked the door and walked to the back mountain.

The cellar in the back mountain is relatively hidden, in a pile of rocks, rarely visited by people.

There are several boulders in the pile of rocks, supporting each other and relying on each other.

Jiang Ping'an got in through the crack of the boulder. The gap was very wide, and he swaggered in.

This place is very dry, which is probably why the cellar was placed here in the first place.

The cellar is in sight, with a square opening, about one meter in length and width.

There is a thick wooden door on the opening, and there are iron locks the size of a fist in each of the four directions above.

Jiang Pingan took out the keys, unlocked the locks one by one, lifted the wooden door, and opened it for ventilation.

After more than ten minutes, he lit the kerosene lamp and slowly walked down the wooden ladder.

The inside is very large, about two to three hundred square meters, three to five people high, and the walls are made of rammed earth.

Airtight, but very dry and shaded.

The kerosene lamp is still burning and has not been extinguished, which means that the air inside is normal.

Jiang Pingan put the lamp on the ground, took out a flashlight to illuminate it, and looked around, only to find that there were very few things.

Six large rusty iron pots, several large iron pots, kitchen knives, iron spoons, iron spatulas, iron forks, etc.

And a dozen large bamboo steamers, several baskets of bowls and plates, and so on.

Anyway, there are a lot of kitchen utensils to be used when buying banquets.

As for why these things are put here, it is also related to the social environment, so I won't say much.

Jiang Pingan put all these kitchen utensils into the space, then took back the kerosene lamp, and left the cellar.

Next, Jiang Ping'an trekked away into the mountains without delay.

He walked a long way, ate a few steamed buns on the way at noon, rested for half an hour, and continued on his way.

It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon before stopping.

The place chosen is also good, a small stream meanders by.

The surrounding vegetation is sparse, and there is a dry cave. If you sleep here at night, you are not afraid of snow and rain.

After Jiang Pingan looked at the terrain, he walked to the stream, took out the tools one by one, and cleaned them carefully.

Especially those iron kitchen utensils, which are full of rust, need to be polished with stones.

It took almost two hours for Jiang Pingan to finish cleaning the things without stopping for a moment.

The sky darkened.

Jiang Ping'an took all the kitchen utensils to an open space and arranged them one by one.

Not far away, another big fire was raised, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.

The mountains are extremely quiet and make people feel lonely.

There were seven cauldrons lined up, one of which belonged to Jiang Ping'an's family.

Fill the six-hole pot with water, light a fire, and cook the meat after the water boils.

The remaining pot is dedicated to cooking.

Taking advantage of the gap, Jiang Ping'an took out countless ingredients from the space.

Such as pepper, pepper, ginger, garlic, bean paste, sugar, salt, vinegar, onion, wine, soy sauce, etc.

Tidy up and get ready.

Don't worry about the ingredients.

In the space, you can butcher into chunks, lumps, flakes, shreds, and minced meat, which saves a lot of effort.

Due to time constraints, we had to leave the day after tomorrow morning.

So Jiang Ping'an didn't cook too complicated dishes, and all of them were home-cooked.

The first is pork. There are too many dishes that can be cooked.

Jiang Pingan thought and thought, and finally chose twenty pork dishes.

Among them are twice-cooked pork, braised pork, braised pork with pickled vegetables, steamed pork with flour, small crispy pork, Dongpo elbow, and brine pork knuckle;

Shredded pork with fish flavor, shredded pork with green pepper, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs, garlic pork ribs, Maoxuewang;

Braised lion head, spicy pork liver, nine-turn large intestine, stir-fried kidney flower, garlic-stir-fried pork heart, stir-fried spicy pig ear.

There are ten dishes made with chicken, namely:

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, beggar chicken, stewed chicken, spicy chicken, crispy chicken legs, chestnut roast chicken, pickled pepper chicken feet, Kung Pao chicken, carrot and potato roast chicken, Sichuan pepper chicken.

There are ten dishes made with duck, namely:

Old duck soup, roast duck, crispy duck, salted duck, white-cut duck, sweet-skinned duck, eight-treasure duck, fried ginger duck, stewed duck with potatoes, and roasted duck with konjac.

There are ten dishes made with goose, namely:

Braised goose, braised goose, white chopped goose, salted goose, pan-fried foie gras, secret sauce goose, potato braised goose, honey sauce barbecued goose, old goose soup, garlic sprouts braised goose.

There are ten dishes made with fish, namely:

Grilled fish, fish with pickled cabbage, boiled fish, spicy fish, steamed fish, double-cooked fish, roasted fish with watercress, sweet and sour crispy fish, chopped pepper fish head, braised fish with tofu.

There are ten dishes made with rabbit meat, namely:

Cold pot rabbit, boiled rabbit, braised rabbit, shredded roasted rabbit, steamed rabbit meat, spicy rabbit head, stewed rabbit cubes, pickled pepper rabbit cubes, cold-eat rabbit cubes, ginger fresh pot rabbit.

Among the above dishes, pork is the most cooked, and Jiang Ping'an only made a few symbolic pots of other meat.

Even so, this pot is huge and enough to last for a long time.

As for the vegetarian dishes, Jiang Pingan didn't make any of them in order to save time.

Anyway, even in the yard, fried vegetables are eaten, and people see them, but no one is jealous.

As long as you don't take out vegetables that are out of season.

Besides, he had to leave some things to do in the courtyard. If he didn't fire for a long time, it would be abnormal.

That night, Jiang Ping'an was busy until late at night.

After simply setting up a tent, take out the bed and fall asleep.

Early the next morning, after washing up, I continued cooking.

A large pot of stir-fried vegetables was fried out, and immediately received in the space backpack, one dish was placed in each grid.

Anyway, the inside is in a static state, and when the cooking is inside, there will be no soup or water, and it will not deteriorate.

What it looks like in it, no matter how long it takes, it will look the same when it is taken out, it is so amazing.

It was busy until the afternoon.

Jiang Pingan didn't know how many dishes he had cooked, so he started steaming steamed buns and baking pancakes.

Noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, fried dough sticks, mochi, pancakes, dumplings, cold skin, wontons, etc.

Do some of each.

The rice is not pulled down, what pumpkin rice, potato rice, taro rice, yam rice, all kinds of fried rice...

Several pots of each meal were made.

As for the rest of the salt, all the bacon was marinated in space.

———————————

early morning.

The sun slipped quietly from the top of the mountain.

Jiang Ping'an slowly woke up, feeling exhausted.

I don't want to eat breakfast.

After cooking meals for two days in a row, his appetite suffered greatly.

In the past two days, I have eaten too much meat.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and now I can eat with my stomach open, which can be regarded as a solution to my craving.

After lying on the bed in a daze for a while, Jiang Pingan got up lazily, washed his face and brushed his teeth.

He also brought two thermos bottles for hot water in the morning.

After washing up, Jiang Ping'an waved his hand, put the bed in the space, and walked out of the mountain.

For other things, late last night, he had packed them up and put them in the space.

The prey in the mountains are plowed countless times.

But in this deep mountain, you can still meet prey from time to time.

Jiang Ping'an was not in the mood to go hunting either, and walked out at a brisk pace.

On the road, I met a nest of wild rabbits without long eyes. After being frightened, they ran straight into his arms.

Seeing that they were pitiful, Jiang Pingan fulfilled their kindness and took them into the space.

"Bunny is so cute..."

At around twelve noon, Jiang Ping'an finally walked out of the mountains.

He first put all the tools back into the cellar.

Then he took another ten catties of stick noodles and sent them to Liang Laosan's house, and returned the key to the cellar.

After the matter was done, Jiang Ping'an walked home amidst Aunt Liang's gratitude.

From a distance, Jiang Ping'an saw the door of his house open and smiled knowingly.

Needless to say, it must be Qin Jingru who came over.

Sure enough, Jiang Ping'an came to the courtyard.

I saw Qin Jingru was sweating profusely, sweeping the floor in the room.

"Jingru, didn't you go to work in the commune today?" Jiang Ping'an asked with a smile.

When Qin Jingru heard the voice, she raised her head, her face brightened, and she smiled and said:

"Brother Pingan, are you back? Why didn't I see you go out on a bicycle?"

"I went with my colleagues and hitchhiked." Jiang Pingan replied casually.

Qin Jingru let out an oh, bit her lips and smiled:

"My mother passed away today, and the family cannot live without people, so I didn't go."

Jiang Pingan nodded, took a chair and sat down, and said:

"Jingru, go and help me heat the pot of water, I want to take a bath, I'm tired after going out for two days!"

"Okay, then sit down for a while, the water is hot, I'll call you again."

Qin Jingru quickly put the broom by the wall, answered, and hurried to the kitchen.

Jiang Pingan smiled, got up and went back to the bedroom, and took out the bed and quilt from the space.

Pots and pans are no exception, put them in the corner.

At this moment, Qin Jingru rushed in in panic, and said anxiously:

"It's not good, Brother Pingan, there are burglars in our house, and there are a lot less things in the kitchen!"

"Haha, don't panic, I've brought the room." Jiang Pingan pointed to the corner and said with a smile.

When Qin Jingru saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said:

"It's okay! It's okay! It scared me to death, I thought there was a thief in the house!"

As he said that, he walked over and moved the pots and pans into the kitchen.

Jiang Ping'an followed suit and finished the move soon.

"Did you polish this pot with a stone?" Qin Jingru asked while lighting a fire.

Jiang Pingan nodded and said: "I have nothing to do, I saw some dirt on it, so I polished it again."

Qin Jingru said oh, and didn't ask any more questions.

After lighting the fire and filling the pot with water, she walked over to Jiang Ping'an and sat down.

"Hey, you smell so heavy of oily smoke!" Qin Jingru slapped her nose and said with a smile.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Those who helped in the past were too fumigated, so I was in a hurry to take a bath."

Originally, it was possible to wash on the mountain, but he thought that he would sweat after walking back, so he didn't wash.

"I need to wash it, the smell is too strong." Qin Jingru said with a smile.

Jiang Pingan smiled, took her hand to play with, and pondered:

"I'll take a shower later, and I'm going back to the city. The salary will be closed tomorrow, so I have to go back."

"Ah? Are you going back today?" Qin Jingru was disappointed and suddenly unhappy.

Jiang Pingan said with a smile: "Don't be unhappy, wait until I take a shower and play with you for a while before leaving."

"Don't accompany me, you'd better go straight away, or you'll bully me again." Qin Jingru said with a blushing face.

Jiang Pingan laughed and said, "But I just love to bully you, what should I do? You won't let me?"

"Anyway, it will be yours sooner or later. You can play however you want." Qin Jingru lowered her head and replied.

Jiang Ping'an smiled knowingly, and said: "Remember, don't relax when studying."

"When you turn eighteen, whether I marry you or not, I promise to get you into the city and find a job for you."

"Yes, I see." Qin Jingru nodded lightly, and said again:

"As long as I can follow you, it doesn't matter whether I enter the city or not."

"Looking at my cousin's situation, I think it's still necessary to find a man well and find the right man in order to live a good life."

Jiang Pingan asked with a smile: "How can you be sure that you can live a good life with me?"

"I knew it, I'm very happy to be with you, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing, that's great." Qin Jingru said cheerfully.

Seeing Jiang Ping'an pursed her mouth in disbelief, she widened her eyes and said solemnly:

"Really, I can take care of myself. As long as you feed me and dress me warmly, I will follow you."

Jiang Pingan laughed loudly, stroked her hair, nodded and said:

"Okay, I believe in you, I will feed you and dress you warmly in the future, haha..."

Seeing that he agreed, Qin Jingru smiled straight, her eyes were curved, and her face was blushing with happiness.

The two were playing, and after a while, the water heated up.

Qin Jingru got up to help Jiang Pingan prepare water, and then went to the bedroom to take out a change of clothes.

It is also very convenient to take a bath in the countryside. The firewood room next door is very large and divided into two.

While stacking firewood, it is used as a bathroom when it is empty.

After taking a bath, Jiang Ping'an felt refreshed. Seeing that Qin Jingru was about to wash his clothes, he hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't wash it, I'll take it back to the city to wash it, you can chat with me for a while."

Only then did Qin Jingru carry the clothes to the main room, fold them, and put them in the basket.

Turning around, Jiang Pingan pulled Qin Jingru to the bedroom and hugged her gently.

"Brother Ping An, when will you come back next time?" Qin Jingru said in a depressed mood.

Jiang Pingan shook his head, and replied, "It's hard to say, there are a lot of things in the factory recently, and I have to travel far away next month."

"Going far away? How far is it?" Qin Jingru raised his head and asked.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "I'm going to the northeast, I don't know when I'll be back."

"It's so far away, so what if I miss you in the countryside? It's so hard!" Qin Jingru sighed.

Jiang Ping'an said with a smirk, "Then how about I comfort you right now?"

"Hee hee... It's itchy... Giggle... You're bullying me again!" Qin Jingru giggled.

The two quickly got together, gushing affection for each other.

Time passed slowly, and the two finally got into bed.

"Brother Ping An, I'm not afraid, I'm really not afraid..."

"It's okay not to be afraid, just wait..."

"I don't want to wait anymore. It's so uncomfortable. It happens every time. What are you worrying about?"

"That's what you said, I have nothing to worry about!"

"Come on... quick... woo... woo..."

———————————

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Pingan rode a bicycle and left Liangjia Village under Qin Jingru's reluctant eyes.

From now on, she transformed from a young girl into a woman, Jiang Ping'an's woman.

She was a little relieved, Jiang Ping'an's worries, she knew deeply, but she hadn't made up her mind yet.

Now, she finally guided Jiang Ping'an, put aside her worries, and accepted her.

Regardless of whether she will marry Jiang Ping'an in the future, based on her understanding of Jiang Ping'an, at least she will not treat her badly.

Eat well, eat well, dress warmly, find a job for her, and Jiang Ping'an will fulfill everything for her.

At that time, she will truly become a city resident and live a life of commodity food.

Of course, it would be even better if Jiang Ping'an could marry her, and she would be so happy that she couldn't sleep.

on the highway.

Jiang Ping'an rode his bicycle back at a fast speed, still reminiscing about Qin Jingru's charm in his thoughts.

The youthfulness of a young girl, pure and ignorant, is like a flower that blooms in full, and will eventually be charming, mature and charming.

Jiang Pingan didn't withdraw his thoughts until he returned to the courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, I ran into Yan Bugui head-on.

He glanced into the basket on the back seat of Jiang Ping'an, and asked with a smile:

"Ping An came back from the countryside? Did you get any good things?"

"Now the countryside is also sad. After running for a few days, I got two hares." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up and said:

"At this age, you can still get wild rabbits, which is considered capable!"

"Hehe, it's okay, it's better than returning empty-handed." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

"Let's not talk about it, I want to go back and put the rabbit in place."

"Send it to the factory early in the morning, don't freeze to death at night."

"Okay, then you are busy." Yan Bugui nodded.

Jiang Pingan smiled, returned home with his bicycle, and took out two hares packed in sacks.

In the next room, there was a box for raising rabbits, which Jiang Ping'an had used before.

So he took the rabbit to the next door, put it in the box, and put some hay and dried vegetables in it.

There is broken grass in the box, which is warm enough. Besides, wild rabbits are not like domestic rabbits, they are not too afraid of cold, so they are not afraid of freezing to death.

After setting it up, Jiang Pingan took out two pots of honey from the space, walked out of the room, and walked to the courtyard.

Qin Huairu was washing things by the sink again.

It seems to have become her signature gesture.

Seeing Jiang Ping'an approaching, Qin Huairu asked with a smile, "Are you back from the countryside?"

"Hmm! What about you? How is your family?"

Seeing Jia Zhang peeping at the window, Jiang Ping glared at her.

Qin Huairu pursed her lips, showing bitterness, shook her head, and did not speak.

Jiang Pingan blinked at her, Qin Huairu nodded slightly, and the two had a tacit understanding.

Jiang Pingan smiled secretly, turned around and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Master and mother, are you having dinner? What a bad time for me to come here!"

Jiang Pingan greeted the couple with an apologetic face.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "It's not that particular, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, just sit down and eat."

"No, I ate it from the countryside." Jiang Pingan shook his head and replied.

"Didn't I say I would bring you a jar of honey last time? This time I went to the countryside to get it."

As he spoke, he put a can on the table.

"Honey is a good thing. It has the functions of tonifying deficiency, neutralizing, harmonizing, clearing away heat and detoxification, and laxative."

"It can relieve symptoms such as lung dryness, cough, physical weakness, intestinal dryness, constipation, mouth sores, water and fire burns, and epigastric pain."

"Both of you have a drink, don't be reluctant."

"By the way, after drinking, I have to return the jar to me. This thing is very expensive, fifty cents each."

The first mother smiled openly, said yes again and again, and said:

"You have a heart, I will free up the jar and return it to you later."

"Hehe, there's no need to be in such a hurry. After you finish eating the honey, it's not too late to return it to me." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? I'll just pay you fifty cents."

"That's no good. I just want the pot. If I charge you money, what's the matter?" Jiang Ping'an refused.

Yi Zhonghai took the jar, looked around, nodded and said:

"This jar is well-made, and it looks good at first glance. If I give you the money, I will buy it from you."

"Okay, since you like it, I won't refuse." Jiang Pingan hesitated and nodded.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai took out fifty cents from his pocket and gave it to Jiang Ping'an.

After Jiang Pingan left, Yi Zhonghai sighed:

"This child is just charming, and he can keep his word. Every mouthful is a nail."

"He just told us how long he wanted to give us honey, and within a few days, he really delivered it."

The first mother smiled and said: "Who says no? The key is that he is also very capable!"

"At this age, it must have taken a lot of effort to find such a good thing."

"By the way, he was holding a can in his hand just now. It should be for Xu Damao's family, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "It should be. This kid has a heart of gratitude. Whoever treats him well can treat anyone well."

...

"Good boy, the sun is coming out from the west today, isn't it?" Xu Damao said in surprise holding the clay pot.

"Say, do you want to borrow money from us again? Let's talk about it first, and we don't need to talk about borrowing money!"

Lou Xiao'e glared at him, snatched the pot, and said angrily:

"Just because you talk a lot, Ping An kindly gave us honey, but you kindly treat us like a donkey, and you don't know good from bad!"

Looking back, she smiled at Jiang Ping'an and said:

"Thank you for being safe. I'll take the honey back to my mother's house and give it to Dad to drink. This jar is also good, just right."

"By the way, haven't you eaten yet? Xu Damao, hurry up and get some hot food, don't starve Ping An!"

Xu Damao twisted his head, humming and chirping:

"He's going to cook for himself when he's hungry, so I'm too lazy to serve him."

Jiang Pingan frowned and said, "Okay, Xu Damao, remember, don't smoke my cigarettes or drink my tea from now on."

"In the morning, I'm going to have a good talk with your section chief..."

"Hey, how can I, I was joking just now, I'm going to heat up the food, just wait a moment!"

Xu Damao's expression changed instantly, he smiled flatteringly, and went to cook.

Lou Xiaoe pursed her lips, pointed to the bench, and said with a smile:

"Sit down and talk, the countryside is very hard, right?"

"Fortunately, things are getting harder and harder to find."

Jiang Ping'an smiled, but the legs under the table touched Lou Xiao'e's from time to time.

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and smiled, looked at him affectionately, and asked, "Do you want my dad to help?"

"That's not necessary. There is no task assigned in the factory now, so there is no pressure." Jiang Pingan shook his head.

"Our reception task next month is not very heavy, so we buyers can relax a lot."

The two were talking.

After a while, Xu Damao heated up six steamed buns, fried a cabbage and a shredded radish and brought them over.

Jiang Pingan asked Xu Damao while eating:

"Your section chief has allocated a new watch ticket, do you know that?"

"Is there such a thing? I really don't know." Xu Damao shook his head.

After a pause, he frowned and said, "So what if I know? I'm sure I won't be able to get it."

Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled, "That's true, your section chief has never given you anything."

"Eat it quickly! The steamed buns can't shut your mouth?" Xu Damao immediately stared in embarrassment and anger.

———————————

Come out from Xu Damao's house.

Jiang Pingan returned to the front yard, and ran into Qin Huairu who was coming back from the bathroom.

She froze for a moment, looked left and right, saw that there was no one in the yard, and walked forward slowly.

"Come to see you tonight and prepare some food for me."

"I just ate Tonhu Lake at noon yesterday, and I was about to faint from hunger!"

Jiang Ping'an immediately said with a straight face: "You woman, you don't care about me first.

"I want to eat when we meet, and I don't know how to feel sorry for others."

"Oh, I will care about you again at night, and love you!" Qin Huairu said coquettishly, and even stomped her foot lightly.

"I really don't have the strength to say too much right now."

"I'm so hungry that I'm trembling with panic, and I'm sweating coldly. If you don't believe me, take a closer look."

Jiang Pingan looked at her a few times, and sure enough, there were beads of sweat visible to the naked eye on her face and neck, and her complexion was pale.

"Okay, I won't blame you today, come over to eat more tonight."

After all, she is half of her own woman, even if she doesn't talk about feelings, she still hurts when it should hurt.

Besides, the pain is not in vain, don't you have to toss it at night?

"Well, I'll go back first." Qin Huairu swallowed, nodded slightly, turned and left.

I went to the countryside and lived a happy life for several days. I had enough food, no one scolded me, and I was at ease.

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I immediately fell into hell.

Not to mention the lack of food, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu still disliked her and scolded her for coming back so early.

Qin Huairu was extremely unaccustomed to it, and felt aggrieved.

Now that Jiang Ping'an came back, she immediately felt relieved as if she had found a backing.

Jiang Ping'an smiled, turned and went back to the house.

Take out the clothes in the basket, put them in a basin, and wash them when the rain comes back.

In the evening, I have to feed Qin Huairu dumplings, although there are meat fillings, but I can't give them to her.

It is an extravagant hope to be able to have enough food these days, so she has to follow the market and can't make her mouth tricky.

Give her stuffed cabbage, it tastes good too.

It can still make her happy, and I feel grateful. This is fine food, how much I love her!

"Dumplings, you eat mine, and I eat yours..."

With a happy mood, Jiang Ping'an borrowed a fire next door.

Light the fire, boil a pot of water, and wash your face and feet, pot of salt water and thermos later.

Turned on the radio, tuned up a Peking opera by Yiyi and played it, no matter whether you could understand it or not, at least it was lively.

Just sat down and listened for a while, when he was about to fall asleep, Yan Jiedi came over from the opposite side.

Jiang Pingan glanced at her, then looked around the room, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Sure enough, Xie Di did not disappoint. The room is really clean." Jiang Ping'an praised.

Yan Jiedi giggled, revealing a few small white teeth.

Jiang Pingan waved to her, and easily fed a pea-sized maltose.

Keep her happy smile open.

"Brother Ping An, can I listen to the radio for a while?" Yan Jiedi asked lately.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Listen whatever you want, why don't I tell you?"

"As long as I'm at home, you can come and listen anytime!"

"Brother Ping'an is so kind!" Yan Jiedi pursed her lips and smiled.

While talking, Yan Jiedi's elder brother, Yan Jiefang, stuck his head out at the door and looked in.

Jiang Pingan glanced at him and ignored him.

Yan Jiedi whispered, "My brother wants me to take the sugar back and soak it in sugar water."

"Leave him alone, this is the candy you worked so hard to earn, why give it to him?" Jiang Pingan said with a pursed mouth.

Yan Jiedi nodded and said softly, "Well, I won't give them any food."

"They? Your parents want to share your candy too?" Jiang Pingan asked with a smile.

Yan Jiedi shut her mouth, nodded slightly and said:

"Yeah, I've been asked to bring candy back a long time ago, so I won't!"

"Hehe, then you can listen to the radio here and go back after eating the candy." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

The two were chatting, and Yan Jiefang saw that his sister ignored him and was making fun of himself, so he turned and left.

Seeing him leave, Yan Jiedi giggled, feeling as if he had won the battle.

Jiang Pingan shook his head and smiled, this girl is still a child!

After listening to the radio for a while, the water boiled outside boiled.

Jiang Pingan quickly asked Yan Jiedi to help fill the water and pour water for washing his feet.

Yan Jiedi complied one by one, busy like a spinning top.

"Xie Di is so diligent!" Jiang Ping'an naturally wanted to encourage her and praise her.

After Yan Jiedi heard this, she couldn't help but smile happily on her face.

"Brother Ping An, I will come here often to fill you with water and wash your feet when I am free in the future."

Jiang Ping'an nodded in relief and praised her for being sensible.

Not to mention, having a girl to help at home makes it a lot easier.

After washing up, Yan Jiedi was very clever, and even helped to pour out the footwashing water before leaving and going home.

...

Night, very quiet.

The slight sound of footsteps, rustling like a breeze rustling leaves.

"Crackling..." The door was slowly pushed open, and someone came into the room swiftly, and gently closed the door.

"Peace..." Qin Huairu whispered.

As soon as the voice fell, the flashlight in the room lit up.

Jiang Ping'an covered the flashlight with his hand, and it emitted a faint light.

"Twenty dumplings, warm in the pot, you can bring them in by the way." He ordered softly.

Qin Huairu swallowed her saliva, she became more and more hungry, and her hands and feet couldn't help but move faster.

Open the lid and see and smell the wheat-flavored dumplings.

Qin Huairu's eyes were blurry, and her nose was sore.

Before she had time to vent her grievance, she turned around and went to the inner room with a large bowl of dumplings.

"How much do you eat?" Qin Huairu asked in a low voice.

Jiang Ping'an said softly, "I won't eat. I heard that you are hungry, so I kept some for you."

"Well, you are still reliable." Qin Huairu said with a sob.

She was also polite, she was too hungry at the moment, so she ate immediately.

After taking a few mouthfuls, my throat became stiff and tears dripped down my face.

Coming back from the countryside, she seemed to have gone from heaven to hell.

Now that I ate hot dumplings, I couldn't hold back my tears.

"Eat slowly, it's still early, twenty is enough for you." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Qin Huairu hummed, put down the bowl suddenly, and rushed forward, sobbing and crying in his arms.

But he didn't dare to cry too loudly, for fear that the sound would be heard by others.

"Woo... woo..."

She cried so sadly that Jiang Pingan smiled at her just now, which made her collapse instantly.

It's ridiculous to say that Mrs. Jia Zhang is her mother-in-law, but she curses viciously and refuses to eat.

Jia Dongxu was her man. He not only scolded her, but also slapped and kicked her, saying she shouldn't have come back so early.

Even Bang Geng looked at her coldly, saying that he shouldn't come back to share his share of the lake.

Qin Huairu couldn't figure it out, shouldn't a family share weal and woe?

When did she become an outsider? Everyone hates her...

Compared with the two, Jiang Ping'an was gentle to her in every possible way.

Give her delicious dumplings, say caring words, care for her, how can she not be moved to tears?

Without comparison, there is no harm.

In this comparison, Qin Huairu instantly sensed the warmth and coldness of the world.

No matter how scheming she is, no matter how much she values ​​her family, she is human after all, and a human wants to be cared for.

Lying in Jiang Ping'an's arms now, she seemed to have found a safe haven, and she couldn't say she was at ease.

Jiang Pingan watched her yelling and crying, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't even remember that this was the first time Qin Huairu cried so bitterly in his arms.

"Don't cry, eat your fill first, let's talk later, or the dumplings will be cold."

———————————

Qin Huairu's toughness.

Even better than expected.

After crying in Jiang Ping'an's arms, the rain immediately cleared up, and it was time to eat and drink.

After eating, he rested for a while, and gently suffered Jiang Ping'an's storm-like ravages.

She likes Jiang Ping'an at this moment and doesn't feel sorry for her.

She tactfully agreed, gritted her teeth and insisted, and even let out a pleasant laugh from time to time.

Jiang Ping'an is a strong young man full of anger, and only someone like Qin Huairu can quench his thirst.

After an unknown amount of time, the room suddenly became quiet.

Neither of them spoke, each taking a breath.

Qin Huairu stroked, took out the cigarette on the bedside, lit a match, and lit a cigarette for Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Pingan took a puff, exhaled the thick smoke slowly, and said softly:

"Today the factory will close the wages."

"What about the rate? My family's life will not change much."

Lying in his arms, Qin Huairu replied in a low voice, playing with a strand of her hair with her delicate hands.

Jiang Pingan nodded slowly: "That's true, every family's life is not easy now."

"En." Qin Huairu hummed softly, then suddenly raised her head, curiously said:

"By the way, you used the ration for three people to eat instead of fine grains. Why are you mostly coarse grains in your house and the countryside?"

"Hehe, it's already finished." Jiang Pingan shook his head and smiled.

"Three catties of coarse grains are exchanged for one catty of fine grains. You do the math. In fact, I don't have the full amount for one person."

"So, I had to get some sticks to fill some food gaps."

In fact, those sticks were just for show, and he had indeed finished his previous fine grains.

I was planning to get some after returning to the city, and the space was opened, so I didn't have to think of other ways.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Indeed, I only thought that you had food for three people."

"But even so, you are still very powerful!"

"Even stick noodles are not easily available these days."

"And besides getting so many stick noodles, you can also get extra fine grains to match. The way is wild enough!"

Jiang Pingan smiled, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that you don't know anything about the profession of a buyer."

"Let me tell you this, I am also cautious. If you are a little bit more presumptuous, you can eat meat as much as you want."

He really wasn't bragging.

Not to mention that he has connections in the meat joint factory and food station.

Just because he is in the country, the things he buys every month are enough to satisfy his greed.

It's just that he didn't do this, even if there is no space, he usually has enough oil and water to eat.

There's no need to do something pretentious and enviable for those three melons and two dates.

The ancestors said long ago that if a tree is more beautiful than the forest wind, it will be destroyed.

Those who die the fastest are always those who are too prominent.

Jiang Ping'an just wanted to live a peaceful life.

"Virtue, I often talk about eating meat, but I haven't seen you bring back meat to eat." Qin Huairu rolled his eyes and said.

Jiang Pingan patted her butt lightly, and said angrily:

"Just be content! The dumplings you eat today are oily enough, right?"

"With such good food, you still want to eat meat? Don't you look at what age you are!"

"Why don't you go to heaven? You are too short to look forward to Shu, and you should be lucky if you can have enough food with me!"

Qin Huairu covered her mouth and smiled lightly, rubbing her face against Jiang Ping'an's arms, and said with a delicate smile:

"Hee hee... I was just joking, and I didn't really ask you to get meat to eat!"

"Also, as a married woman, I should let you take advantage of me and eat your meals, shouldn't I?"

"Speaking of which, I'm still at a disadvantage!"

Jiang Ping'an curled his lips and said, "Come on, you eat my food, it's enough for me to marry a wife!"

"We really want to talk about who wins and who loses, so don't play together."

"In this way no one loses and no one makes money, otherwise

�I don't know. "

"No! That's not the case!" Qin Huairu said:

"From the moment you succeed, even if I lose, you will always be a winner."

"You have to be nice to me in the future, and you can't kick me out every now and then."

Jiang Ping'an glanced at her, then pondered:

"It depends on your performance. If you are disobedient, the one who should kick you out will still kick you out!"

"I know you are hard-hearted." Qin Huairu muttered.

After a pause, he asked, "Do you want more? Hurry up, it's getting late."

"If you don't want it, I'll go back first and come back to serve you tomorrow."

Jiang Pingan asked with a smile, "Have you recovered?"

"Hee hee, if you don't slow down, you don't want it?" Qin Huairu asked back with a smile.

Jiang Ping turned on his back, galloped his horse, and said with a smile:

"I just love hearing you sing..."

...

early morning.

After Jiang Ping'an washed up, he went to the next door to take out the rabbit, put it in a sack and tied it to the back of the bicycle.

Pushing the cart out, I ran into Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe head-on.

Seeing Lou Xiaoe's large and small bags, Jiang Ping'an asked in confusion:

"Sister Xiao'e, are you going back to your mother's house?"

"Yeah, I have something to do when I go back." Lou Xiaoe replied with a wink at him.

Saying that, he put down his salute, and handed over a large net bag with clothes and leather shoes in it.

"The sweater I knitted for you has been knitted and washed, and can be worn anytime," Lou Xiaoe said.

"And these shoes, I've bought them for you for so long, and you don't know how to take them back."

"Aren't you going to the Northeast for a while?"

"When the time comes to wear a Chinese tunic suit, I will wear these leather shoes."

"By the way, sweaters can also be worn inside without looking bulky."

Jiang Pingan parked his bicycle, took the net bag, nodded and smiled:

"Thank you, sister Xiao'e. I will definitely wear this sweater and leather shoes when I go to the Northeast this time."

Xu Damao interjected, "Your Chinese tunic suit was also given by Ezi."

Lou Xiaoe rolled his eyes at him, thinking he was talkative, turned around and smiled and said:

"I just want to wear it. If it's worn out, I'll buy you a new one!"

"It's getting late, I'm leaving first, we'll talk again when I get back from my mother's house."

"Miss Xiao'e, go slowly!" Jiang Ping'an said, watching Lou Xiao'e leave the hospital.

Seeing that Xu Damao didn't follow, Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Aren't you going to see her off?"

"No, my father-in-law sent a car to pick him up early in the morning, and it's parked outside the hospital!" Xu Damao shook his head.

Jiang Pingan nodded, turned and went back to the room.

Put away the sweater and leather shoes, go out and go to the rolling mill with Xu Damao.

All the way without words.

In the rolling mill, Jiang Ping'an handed the two hares to Director Chen.

"Director, good luck or bad luck this time," Jiang Pingan said.

"Well, I found two hares."

"The bad thing is that there are fewer and fewer things in the country."

Director Chen opened the sack, looked inside, raised his head and said with a smile:

"It would be nice to have two hares, but this is an unplanned supply."

"There is a shortage of supplies now, and you can't get things, so don't put too much pressure on them."

"As much as you can get, you can get as much, and you can earn as much as you can."

"I didn't give you a task, so what's the rush?"

Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled and said, "With the director's words, I feel relieved."

"By the way, last time you said you were going to equip our office with a stove, don't forget it!"

"Okay, I'll write you a note later, and you can pick it up yourself." Director Chen said with a smile.

After taking the hare to a cage in the warehouse and packing it up, Director Chen turned his head and glanced outside the door.

"Did you get that thing?"

Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled:

"Don't you still trust me? I said if you can get it, you must get it."
