Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 458: Strictly Green Self Qin Jingru

While Wang Hongtao and Qin Mancang were chatting, Qin Jingru was not idle either. She pulled her elder and second brothers over and whispered to them about working in the city.

"What? Can I work in the city?" Qin's mother couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Jingru girl, are you sure?"

"Are you sure this job is not assigned to you, but introduced to your two brothers?"

"It's not two, it's one. Brother Tao said that you two old people need someone to take care of you in the countryside, so only one of the eldest brother or the second brother can go." Qin Jingru corrected seriously.

"Right, Brother Tao?"

"Yes."

Wang Hongtao nodded seriously: "I plan to arrange for a brother-in-law to come to the city first, and then find a way to bring my sister-in-law here after he has established a firm foothold."

"After all, we can't separate the two of us just for work."

Qin Mancang was so excited that he was incoherent: "Son-in-law, you..."

"I don't know how to thank you..."

It's no wonder that Qin Mancang was so moved. If Wang Hongtao's action happened in modern times, it would be no less than saying to his father-in-law: Dad, do you think either my eldest brother or second brother wants to be a civil servant? I will arrange one for you, and I will arrange one for my sister-in-law later.

That's really the case, no exaggeration.

These days, it costs six or seven hundred yuan to find a job with an urban household registration, let alone one from the countryside.

Wang Hongtao waved his hand: "We are all family, let's not talk about this."

"When you've made up your mind, just tell me. You can also think about it first. I'll try my best to arrange it."

Qin Mancang waved his hands and said, "I dare not choose by myself. Son-in-law, you know that our Jinghua Jingsheng children are all honest and obedient. They are strong and can do nothing else except farming. You can arrange whatever they can do for them."

"Okay, I'll take care of the arrangements. Let's go around the city first."

......

We visited Shichahai Park in the morning and had Quanjude Roast Duck at noon. From the moment they finished lunch, Qin's father and mother started clamoring to go back and refused to stay another night.

Wang Hongtao couldn't persuade them any more, so he took them to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cloth.

I originally wanted to buy clothes, but they refused to let me, saying that bought clothes are not as cost-effective as making them myself.

The same applies when buying cloth. Don’t pick the ones that look good or have patterns, just buy the ones that are cheap and thick.

Holding a large batch of earth-gray cotton cloth, Qin's mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Wang Hongtao couldn't help but complain: "Mom, you are really something. If I were to ask you, that big flowered coat is so pretty. It's bright and warm, and it's perfect for winter."

Mother Qin smiled and shook her head: "Uncle, I know your good intentions, but for people like me and Dad who work in the fields all day, what's there to be proud of?"

"Thick and durable clothes are the real deal. No matter how good the clothes are, they will look terrible after being worn outdoors. It's not worth it, not worth it!"

"Besides, the money from that one piece of clothing is enough for me to make three or four sets of clothes. Don't you agree?"

Wang Hongtao nodded: "Okay, then I won't care about you anymore."

After saying that, he turned his head to Qin Mancang and said, "Dad, why don't you stay in the city for a few more days? I have already made arrangements with the people at the guesthouse. We will go with the factory's hospitality, and it won't cost any money."

Qin Mancang also smiled and waved his hand: "No, son-in-law. To be honest, we eat well and live well in the city, but somehow I just feel uncomfortable. It's better to go back to Qinjiatun and stay comfortably!"

Wang Hongtao tried to persuade them to stay several times but they still refused, so he had no choice but to give up.

After taking them to taste some authentic local snacks of Beijing, such as fried tripe and luzhu, I packed a Quanjude roast duck for them, saying that it was for my second sister-in-law and nephews and nieces who were late to make it, and only then were they willing to accept it.

Qin Jingru and I sent them to the station and only went back after the car left.

Wang Hongtao took Qin Jingru's hand openly and said, "Okay, now no one will disturb us. Jingru, where do you want to go?"

"I think...."

"Will you give in just because I told you to?" Qin Jingru rarely showed her wit.

"You said, I will take you as long as you are satisfied. I can't take you to the moon even if you want to, right?" Wang Hongtao said lovingly.

Qin Jingru stopped and shook Wang Hongtao's big hand, saying coquettishly: "Well, I want you to take me to see your other women, those I haven't seen before!"

"Huh! What are you doing?" This was really beyond Wang Hongtao's expectations.

"I just want to...just tell me whether you'll let me do it or not." Qin Jingru continued to act coquettishly. It's hard to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things. I saw Qin Huairu use this trick last night, and now she used it.

Wang Hongtao was silent for a while and said, "Of course, I can, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Wang Hongtao whispered in Qin Jingru's ear: "I want you to be with your good sisters like you did last night..."

Qin Jingru's face suddenly turned red. Last night, it was because one of them was her cousin and the other was He Yushui, who was more like a sister than a sister. But for the others...

Qin Jingru hesitated for a moment.

"It's okay, Jingru. They are very nice people. I, your brother Tao, won't accept just anyone." Wang Hongtao continued to persuade, "How about this, I'll take you to meet them first. If you don't want to, I won't force you. Is that okay?"

Qin Jingru thought for a while and nodded.

then.

The two of them rested at Chen Xueru's house on the first night;

The two rested at Xu Huizhen's house on the second night.

Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen were very friendly to the simple and kind-hearted Qin Jingru, because they knew that Qin Jingru was simple-minded, kind and innocent. If it was someone like Qin Huairu who was more thoughtful, or someone like Ding Qiunan who was more reserved, they would not be so friendly.

On the third night, Wang Hongtao finally stayed at Qin Jingru's home to rest and did not go anywhere.

"Are these the only two sisters? Didn't you say there was another one younger than me who just graduated from high school? Why don't you take me to meet her?"

Qin Jingru asked in a disgusting tone while fiddling with her hair.

"Yes, but the others are not convenient now. Let's wait until they are more convenient. Anyway, I will let you know sooner or later." Wang Hongtao answered frankly, not afraid that Qin Jingru would feel resentful.

He knew that although Qin Jingru seemed carefree and cheerful and didn't care about anything, she was actually very opinionated.

She had only one request, that Wang Hongtao was willing to marry her and keep her in the city.

As long as this requirement of hers can be met, she will agree to everything, regard men as her heaven, and go further and further on the path of being strict with herself, and she doesn't care even if she becomes an accomplice.

But if Wang Hongtao really just walked away after having fun with her, she would definitely not agree.

Turning the courtyard house upside down would be the least of their worries; they might even hang a rope on the doorstep of Wang's house.

It is said that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Wang Hongtao did not think there was anything wrong with Qin Jingru's behavior.

As an ordinary rural woman with no education and no connections, Qin Jingru can only hope to change her fate by marrying a good man. She dared to gamble and fight, and she won the gamble. Shouldn't she try her best to keep the chips she won?

For Wang Hongtao, he really needs a good daughter-in-law like Qin Jingru who is well-behaved, sensible, and knows her limits.

Getting a wife doesn't necessarily mean she has to be good looking or have good conditions.

The key is that she has everything she wants;

And what she wants, and I can just satisfy it, that's it.
