Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 303 Qin Huairu's Marriage Plan

Qin Huairu did what she said. After having a quick meal, she went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

At the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai had just finished his meal and was thinking about something in the house. He was thinking about when Yi Zhien would come back, and then he could find a wife for him so that he could live in peace in his old age.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Uncle, are you there? I'm Qin Huairu!"

Hearing that it was Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai frowned, "What is Qin Huairu going to do? Does she want to borrow money? How can I lend it to her? I don't rely on her family for my retirement." Yi Zhonghai said suspiciously.

"Uncle, are you there?"

"Yes, the door is not closed, just come in!" Yi Zhonghai agreed.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's voice, Qin Huairu pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on her face, "Uncle, where is my aunt?"

"I went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. We just finished eating! How about you guys? Have you eaten yet?"

"I ate it, but I just made do with it. You know, our kitchen is pretty shabby, so I just shook it." Qin Huairu explained.

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Yi Zhonghai seemed to understand something, but he was not going to be a sucker.

So he said, "If it collapses, just rebuild it. Isn't that what everyone does? Didn't the Yan family's house in the front yard collapse as well? They will definitely go to buy materials tomorrow. You can't go wrong if you follow him. You don't even need to negotiate the price. Just follow him and you won't have to worry."

"Haha, uncle, you know Yan Fugui. He will definitely buy the materials and build it himself."

"That's right. Not only the Yan family, many families will do it themselves. It's just a kitchen anyway. It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, as long as it can be used." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Haha, that's true, but none of us, an orphan and a widow, knows how to do cement work, so..." Qin Huairu hesitated.

Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, Yi Zhonghai immediately understood what was going on. However, he was not a free cow or horse, so he said, "Huairu! Banggeng is already 23 years old! It's time for him to do the work that men should do. It's not good to say that your Jia family is an orphan and a widow now. After all, Banggeng has reached the age to set up his own household, am I right?"

"Haha, what you said is right, but he has never done it before, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do it well."

"Don't be afraid of that. Just watch and learn from others. It's not a difficult thing. Besides, apart from us old guys, which kid has done it? Don't they all have to do it? The key is whether you want to do it, not whether you can do it. Do you think I'm right?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai say this, Qin Huairu knew that it was impossible to let Yi Zhonghai be a cow, but she had expected this situation, so she made a compromise and said, "Master, you are right, this is what I mean, but I would like you to guide me from the side, is that okay?"

"Haha, that's no problem, as long as I'm free." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"By the way, uncle, your Zhien has been serving in the army for many years, right? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Qin Huairu changed the subject.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Yi Zhonghai asked casually.

"Hey, isn't this my family? I think Jieun is about the same age as my family member Banggeng. I think it's time for him to get married, so I want to ask when you plan to get married for your child."

"I don't know about this for now, after all, Zhien hasn't come back yet. But it will be soon. The last letter she sent said that she is already a squad leader, and she will definitely be a platoon leader in a while. As long as she becomes a platoon leader, she can transfer to become a cadre." Yi Zhonghai said proudly.

Qin Huairu felt sour when she heard what Yi Zhonghai said. In this courtyard, her son Banggeng was the most useless. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was a fact.

However, less than a few seconds after she felt jealous, a bold idea suddenly appeared in her mind. As soon as this idea came into her mind, Qin Huairu felt that this was the way it should be. As long as this idea came true, their family's life would be much better.

So she immediately tried to test him, "Haha, Zhien is really lucky to have such a good father like you, Da Ye. My little Dang often says that you are a very good person. If her brother Zhien doesn't have a partner, she would want to marry him!"

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Yi Zhonghai was successfully misled. He thought that Qin Huairu came here today just to establish a relationship with his family. However, he thought Xiaodang was a good kid and was very handsome. The only drawback was that his family was not good and he had a lot of burdens. However, it has been the case since ancient times that a wife should obey her husband. He did not think that the Jia family could really rely on Xiaodang to suck the blood of his Yi family. Thinking this way, he seemed to think that Xiaodang was a good choice.

So he smiled and said, "Xiao Dang has a good eye. My Zhien is quite good. She will be a cadre when she returns from the military service in two years. Besides, she is also very handsome. But I really don't know if he has a girlfriend. But I don't think he has one. I heard that they can only date after they are promoted. He has just become a squad leader, so he probably doesn't have a girlfriend yet."

"That's right. I've always thought Jieun is a good kid. What do you think? Uncle, if it's possible, how about we get married? We all know each other well."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Yi Zhonghai confirmed his guess, but it was not a good deal to rush in, so he said ambiguously, "It's not impossible. Xiaodang looks good, but he doesn't have a job. But the important thing is whether Zhien likes him. If he likes him, then there's no problem."

"Haha, uncle, my Xiaodang is really good. You know, my Xiaodang is one of the most beautiful girls in the whole alley, but she is a little thin. If she eats well, as I said, there is no girl in Nanluoguxiang who can compare with my Xiaodang." Qin Huairu said confidently, just as she was confident that she was the most beautiful girl in Nanluoguxiang back then.

"That's true, but emotional matters still depend on the children. Free love is advocated now. It all depends on them. Xiaodang is still young. He is only nineteen this year, one year away! We'll talk about it later." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Okay, let's wait for Zhien to come back and meet her. I think it's better to know her background. We can't tell what kind of personality an outsider has. For example, is she filial to the elderly? Is she virtuous? There are many things to know!" Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Okay, let it be!"

"Okay, uncle, I'm going to go back. Can you give me some advice on the kitchen matters?"

"No problem, it doesn't take much effort." Yi Zhonghai agreed.

Soon, Qin Huairu returned home. As soon as she got home, everyone in the room looked over at her.

"How's it going? Huairu, did you borrow the money?"

"I didn't ask for it because I thought I couldn't borrow it, so I might as well not ask."
