Chapter 37 Qin Huairu's Misunderstanding and Anxiety
Thinking about He Yueyue, Lin Jiaguo immediately shook his head to dispel the thoughts in his mind. No matter what He Yueyue wanted to do, he didn't want to get involved.
"Go to sleep. The old lady understands that no one wants to get involved in her family's affairs, so let's not waste our energy."
Li Xiuzhi nodded, and after washing, the two fell asleep.
At the same time, at Yi Zhonghai's house, the deaf old lady who had eaten well looked at the aunt who was clearing away the dishes. Her eyes were fixed on Yi Zhonghai.
"Old lady, you're making me a little flustered. Please give me your instructions if I have anything to do." The first man, Yi Zhonghai, always felt that something was wrong with the deaf old lady today.
"Haizi, do you want Shazhu and Qin Huairu to be together?"
As soon as he said this, looking at the expression on the deaf old lady's face, the first man Yi Zhonghai's idea of saying a few words to cover up the matter was suddenly shattered. He knew that he had to make this matter clear to the old lady.
"I do have this idea." Yi Zhonghai nodded and explained to the deaf old lady: "Qin Huairu is a capable head of the family. She lends a hand to help anyone in this courtyard who has trouble. Old lady, you are also watching."
"As you can see, Shazhu and Qin Huairu also have that intention. It's just that Jia Zhang is blocking it now. I want to wait a little longer and let her see how good Shazhu is to Bangge and the others. At that time
If I help you talk about it, it will be done."
Hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the deaf old lady, and she said with a little dissatisfaction in her tone: "Haizi, I, an old lady, know that you are also planning for your future retirement, so I can introduce a good one to Shazhu, etc.
He's the head of the family, isn't it the same? Why are you staring at Qin Huairu?"
A strange color flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, he lowered his head slightly, and after a few breaths, he said helplessly: "Old lady, to put it bluntly, compared to Qin Huairu in the courtyard who knows everything, I'm worried that others will not agree.
.”
"In the courtyard, we have helped Shazhu and Qin Huairu's family for so many years, and we have developed feelings for each other. If we change our relationship to others, why should they agree to help with their care for the elderly if they have not accepted our love?"
As he said that, he strengthened his determination and said to the deaf old lady: "Just look at Lin Jiaguo in the front yard. His mother Wang Mei passed away and his father Lin Dafu was missing. We were also in the yard.
Help him, but he would rather raise an old Mrs. Lin than nod to us."
"So, this person needs to know the basics!"
Hearing this, the deaf old lady looked a little strange. This statement sounded somewhat reasonable, but knowing the actual situation, she didn't realize that it was unreasonable.
Have you helped Lin Jiaguo? The deaf old lady said hehe.
After Lin Jiaguo's mother Wang Mei passed away, Li Ermeng and others in the front yard and the people in the factory helped take care of the funeral arrangements. After the incident was over, Lin Jiaguo dropped out of school and begged the factory leaders to let him study with his master Wang Dafa.
My cooking skills take over my mother's job.
After becoming a disciple of Wang Dafa, I didn't have much contact with the factory. The focus of my life was on the factory and my master Wang Dafa's fortune.
From the time he got married to having a child, the people in the courtyard who had helped him in the Lin family were the few families in the front yard who were the most sincere. As for the Lin family, they also repaid their kindness and were able to bring food and vegetables from the factory kitchen.
Everyone brought them back to the front yard couple, and there were frequent interactions, so the relationship between them was naturally closer.
As for his elder brother Yi Zhonghai and himself, the old woman, the focus is on Shazhu's family and Jia's family. After all, in terms of emotional relationship, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu are masters and apprentices, and he, the old woman, regards Shazhu as his grandson.
Yang, how many times have you gone to help Lin Jiaguo?
With her thoughts racing, the deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai deeply and sighed slightly in her heart. She knew that the man in front of her had other plans hidden in his heart, but she just didn't want to say them.
Forget it, it was impossible to get the same idea from him. Thinking about the unwillingness of Old Mrs. Lin in the front yard to get involved, the deaf old lady sighed in her heart and decided to go find Aunt Liu on the street while she could walk.
.
After saying a few words, the deaf old lady asked her aunt to help her back to the backyard.
As soon as the two left, the elder Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while, and then sighed, Old lady, it's not that I have to break your heart, but I also have my own difficulties.
In the backyard, after sending the deaf old lady to the house, the eldest mother was about to leave. The deaf old lady stopped her and said, "Don't be too upset. Everyone has their own life to live."
She could already tell that Auntie had been thinking too much during this time and was very upset.
The aunt's eyes were sore when she heard this, and she said softly: "Old lady, I've figured it out, this person doesn't have that fate, so don't force it."
"While Lao Yi's salary is high now, I will also save some money and reserve money for retirement in the future. When the time comes, I just need someone to help me."
The deaf old lady looked at her, and finally sighed and asked her to leave first.
…
The next day, the deaf old lady came to the front yard of the Lin family again. Lin had already gone to work. At home, Li Xiuzhi and the old lady Lin were coaxing their three children to sleep.
The children were all drowsy, and after a while, all three children fell asleep.
When the deaf old lady arrived, Mrs. Lin and Li Xiuzhi were afraid that the sound would wake the child, so they invited her to sit in the room next to them.
After the two old ladies sat down, the deaf old lady said, "Sister, I have to ask you one thing today."
"My health is a little bad. It's cold and the road is slippery today. I'm afraid of falling, so I thought of asking you for a favor. After all your hard work, help me find Aunt Liu on the street and ask her to come over.
Come on, my old lady asked her for a favor."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin looked at her and saw that she was very determined. The old lady sighed slightly and said, "Sister, I can just walk these few steps."
"But you are worrying about it, but the person involved has not yet figured it out. So what if you introduce another person? Is it possible that you can still go to the wedding hall and get married?"
As she said that, Mrs. Lin shook her head slightly and said, "You, you have to wake up that boy Silly Zhu first, otherwise you will be exhausted and nothing will be done."
The deaf old lady smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, you are a sensible person. I can't wake up that kid, so I thought of introducing him to someone. If I really meet someone, Silly Zhu's kid will wake up naturally.
Already."
Her plan made Old Mrs. Lin dumbfounded and said: "Sister, haven't you seen it yet? Silly Zhu's child is hesitant in his heart. Every blind date is stimulated, and he thinks about it when his head is hot.
Do it, and after he calms down, his mind will not be elsewhere."
The deaf old lady smiled bitterly again. Could she not know why Qin Huairu could catch Silly Zhu? Was she too virtuous or too beautiful?
No, she was able to catch Shazhu because Shazhu missed her deep in his heart.
If the fish is not greedy for the scent of the bait, how can it take the bait?
"Old sister, I'd better trouble you to help me with the trip. I'll feel more at ease if the job is done."
The deaf old lady's eyes became firmer, and there was a bit of weakness in her eyes when she looked at Old Mrs. Lin. Old Mrs. Lin thought about her past days and then her present days, then she nodded and said: "Okay, I'll do it."
It might help to make you feel more at ease if you take a walk."
"Thank you, sister!"
The two chatted for a few words, and Old Mrs. Lin asked Li Xiuzhi to help prepare something before carrying the things out. As soon as she left, the deaf old lady looked at Li Xiuzhi and thanked her: "Xiuzhi, thank you. I'll wait for you later."
Son, you come with me to the backyard, and I give you the money, which counts as the purchase."
Li Xiuzhi nodded. It was not that she was greedy for the money, but that the deaf old lady wanted to handle this matter and it was not appropriate for her to pay for it.
Seeing that Li Xiuzhi was so transparent, the deaf old lady couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she is the daughter-in-law who is in charge of the family. She can take what she wants, even if it is a small amount, but she can clearly distinguish what she should not ask for, even if it is a lot.
Can't speak.
After a while, Li Xiuzhi made a cup of honey water and brought it to the deaf old lady. She smiled and said: "Old lady, this is a bit hot. Please blow it when you drink it, so as not to burn you."
The old man and the young man were talking, and when it was noon, Li Xiuzhi went to cook and waited for Mrs. Lin to come back.
As soon as the meal was ready, Mrs. Lin came with Aunt Liu from the street. When she entered the house, Li Xiuzhi greeted her politely.
"Aunt Liu, you are here by chance, just in time to try my craftsmanship."
As Li Xiuzhi said this, she invited Aunt Liu to sit down for dinner. Aunt Liu wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Lin had already made it clear that this was not the family that had to do something.
"Xiao Liu, don't refuse. What else can you do if you eat this meal?"
Old Mrs. Lin laughed out loud. When Aunt Liu heard this, she nodded in agreement. Li Xiuzhi went to another room to invite the deaf old lady to come over.
The four of them sat down to eat. After they finished eating, the deaf old lady took Aunt Liu back to the backyard. She had something to do, and she couldn't talk about it at Li Xiuzhi's house.
As soon as the two left, the third aunt came over to greet the old lady and asked with a smile: "Old lady, is this deaf old lady going to introduce someone to Silly Zhu again?"
The old lady smiled and nodded, and asked the third aunt to sit in the room. After entering the room, she felt much warmer. The third aunt then said: "Old lady, it's not like I am a talkative girl. You can just keep an eye on the affairs of the middle courtyard.
If you mix it up, someone might disturb your peace."
Hearing this, the old lady said: "This is the deaf old lady in the backyard. She said it was cold and the road was slippery. She asked me to help her walk. This person has opened her mouth and I can't touch her face."
When the third aunt heard this, she immediately understood that the old lady was caring about the face of the deaf old lady in the backyard and couldn't show her face.
"By the way, how's your blind date going for Jie Cheng?" The old lady changed the subject and said with a smile, "I, an old lady, still want to eat his wedding candy as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the third aunt laughed and said: "Old lady, if Jie Cheng knew that you were always waiting to eat the wedding candy, he would have to speed up."
"It's almost confirmed now. I'm just waiting for the girl to come and visit the house that day."
Looking at the happy third aunt, the old lady and Li Xiuzhi both said congratulations. The three of them chatted and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In the evening, Lin Jiaguo got off work and when he returned to the courtyard, the aroma of the food in the courtyard was already wafting out.
After returning home, Li Xiuzhi took the things in his hand, took a glance at them, and asked: "Who asked you to cook again today? This is too generous."
She carried her things to the kitchen and started to put them away. Lin Jiaguo also walked in. He took a sip of water and then said, "Deputy Director Li took me there. I didn't ask. I just cooked."
Hearing this, Li Xiuzhi laughed. She knew her husband's character. He was not interested and would not ask. Even if he knew, he would forget it quickly.
After the two of them had cleaned up, Li Xiuzhi poured half a basin of warm water for Lin Jiaguo and said, "You burn the feet first. If the child cries later, you can comfort him. Mother Shitou asked me to help, and I will be there soon."
"
"Okay." Lin Jiaguo nodded, and after saying a few words, Li Xiuzhi left.
In the backyard, the deaf old lady was telling Silly Zhu about the blind date again. Knowing his temperament, she specifically mentioned the matter of Lin Jiaguo's three children, which stimulated Silly Zhu.
As expected, when the three children of the Lin family were mentioned, Shazhu's mind turned to the blind date again.
After a few more words of warning, Sha Zhu was allowed to leave. In the middle courtyard, as soon as Sha Zhu came back, he "happened" to meet Qin Huairu.
"Silly Zhu, the deaf old lady has been worrying about you every day, so you should be more careful." Qin Huairu walked into the house and said while helping to clean the house.
She looked at the happy Silly Zhu, and secretly cursed the deaf old lady for being so troublesome.
As soon as she got off work, her mother-in-law Jia Zhang told her about the deaf old lady taking Aunt Liu from the street back to the backyard. After asking about it, Qin Huairu knew that the deaf old lady was unwilling to give in again.
Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, Qin Huairu was cleaning while talking to Silly Zhu. After coming up with some words, she smiled and said: "You should also find someone who knows the cold and the hot as soon as possible. When you have a wife, you Qin
Sister, I don’t have to help you clean, I don’t know how much easier it will be.”
After saying a few more words, she left and walked out the door. The smile on her face faded and she looked towards the front yard.
Mrs. Lin helped the deaf old lady find Aunt Liu on the street!
Could it be that Mrs. Lin also wants to get involved in this matter?
Qin Huairu was a little confused. She understood very well that Mrs. Lin was the only one in this courtyard who could see through her plans, but they didn't tell her.
But now, it's not a good thing for her to get involved.
Old Mrs. Lin is not a deaf old lady. Firstly, the deaf old lady is not in good health, and secondly, her circle is small. These two reasons make it difficult for her to introduce someone to Silly Zhu, and she has to beg for help.
.
But Mrs. Lin is different. After living in the courtyard, she is in good health and walks every day when the weather is warm. She knows many people in the surrounding area.
More importantly, Mrs. Lin knows a lot of people. Just look at how many people come to visit her every once in a while. If she really wants to introduce someone to Silly Zhu, she can find a way to suppress the deaf old man.
Madam, there is no way I can suppress Mrs. Lin.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little more resentful in her heart. Old Mrs. Lin now has three great-grandchildren. She can't live her own good life, but she still wants to get involved in these things.
While feeling resentful, Qin Huairu also became defensive and worried. He thought about whether to test Old Mrs. Lin's tone, but she still shook her head.
Feeling depressed and a little uneasy, Qin Huairu didn't sleep well tonight.
…
The next day, Lin Jiaguo went to work as usual. At noon, after the workers had finished eating and everyone in the kitchen had tidied up, he took a rest.
Lin Jiaguo was talking to Liu Lan when a man walked in and said to him: "Master Lin, Qin Huairu said that he has something to do with you and is waiting for you outside."
"Qin Huairu is looking for me?" Lin Jiaguo was stunned. Why was Qin Huairu looking for him? In the steel rolling mill, the two of them had basically no intersection.
Outside the kitchen door, Qin Huairu was waiting with some confusion. She thought about it all night last night, but she still felt uneasy. Now she came here just to test Lin Jiaguo's tone.
There are risks in exploring Old Mrs. Lin's opinions, but it is easier on Lin Jiaguo's side, with a lot more room for maneuver.
Lin Jiaguo came out, saw Qin Huairu, and asked with a smile: "Sister Qin, what's the matter with you?"
When Qin Huairu saw that it was difficult to speak here, she smiled and said, "Jia Guo, I have something to ask you. Let's go over and talk."
The two came to a place one after another. Seeing that there was no one here, Qin Huairu said: "Jiaguo, isn't that guy Silly Zhu going on a blind date again? I think he has been helping my family, so I have to help him too, right?"
."
As she said that, she smiled and said: "No, I heard that Mrs. Lin helped introduce the person Sha Zhu is going to go on a blind date this time. I just want to ask her about the girl."
"Sister Qin, I am also a person who has been here. I know what a woman is thinking. If I know a little bit about the girl's situation, I can also help Shazhu with ideas. When he gets into trouble, I can help him and I will pay him back.
Some of the kindness he showed me in helping my family was not."
Lin Jiaguo was dumbfounded at this time. Qin Huairu wanted to help Silly Zhu go on a blind date?
After suppressing the weirdness in his heart, Lin Jiaguo thought about it for a moment and suddenly came to his senses.
This Qin Huairu is here to check the news!
Thinking about it, Lin Jiaguo smiled and said: "Sister Qin, I don't know much about this if you ask me. The old lady never told me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she smiled and said, "These two old ladies seem to look down on us young people."
"Okay, after work, I will ask the old lady again. When I find out clearly, you, Sister Qin, and I have to help Silly Zhu get things done this time."
He said with a determined look and raised his fist. The two of them said a few more words before Qin Huairu left.
Lin Jiaguo looked at her back and suddenly smiled, this Qin Huairu, haha...
Returning to the kitchen, Liu Lan looked at Lin Jiaguo and said jokingly: "Master Lin, let me tell you something that shouldn't be said. In the steel rolling mill, you should have less contact with Qin Huairu. This person is a talker, and some rumors are just like that."
Out."
Lin Jiaguo nodded, knowing that Liu Lan was reminding her with good intentions. People said that there were many disputes in front of the widow, and Qin Huairu became more and more "evolved" at the steel rolling mill.
Thinking about what Qin Huairu said just now, Lin Jiaguo shook his head and laughed. It seemed that she had misunderstood the old lady helping the deaf old lady to invite Aunt Liu from the street. She was a little scared!
Different from the neglect of Lin Jiaguo, the back cook, when Qin Huairu returned to the workshop, her thoughts became confused while she was working. She originally wanted to explore Lin Jiaguo's tone, but the words did not come out, which made her even more determined.
Madam, I'm just afraid that judgment has been mixed in.
Old Mrs. Lin even kept the news a secret from Lin Jiaguo, probably because she was worried that Lin Jiaguo would stop her. After all, Lin Jiaguo never liked to get involved in the courtyard house.
As for why Mrs. Lin wanted to help, it was probably the deaf old lady who asked for it. After all, the situations of the two old ladies were very similar, which really touched Mrs. Lin's soft mentality of being "alone" in the past. She helped the deaf lady.
Old lady, it's not impossible.
The more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became. Just when I could no longer suppress the uneasiness and resentment in my heart, I suddenly felt pain in my arm.
