Chapter 21 Gathering together(1/2)

"Sister, tell me more about Brother Wang!"

At night, Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu huddled on the big kang and asked in a low voice.

"What did you say?" If it were summer, it would be extremely hot if both of them were sleeping on the kang, but now it is winter, the twelfth lunar month of winter, the ninth coldest month in the world, and it is freezing cold outside. It is actually warmer for the two sisters to squeeze into the same bed.

"Tell me about what happened to Brother Wang in the factory!" Qin Jingru was so excited at this moment that she was not even a little bit sleepy. Her mind was filled with the shadow of Wang Zhong and the sumptuous meals of the Wang family...

After Qin Huairu was silent for a moment, he said: "Actually, Wang Zhong has not been in the steel rolling mill for a long time. In May last year, he just graduated from college and was assigned to our factory..."

Qin Huairu's voice was kept very low, for fear of disturbing the sleep of the children next to her, but what she said was very clear. Qin Jingru listened carefully and carefully, for fear of missing a word.

From being praised several times at factory-wide workers' meetings, to proposing rectification plans, to later benefiting the entire steel rolling mill, Wang Zhong was promoted exceptionally and was promoted to three levels in a row. At a young age, he was already at level ten.

Technicians receive a monthly salary of 86.5 yuan, plus subsidies, they can earn more than 90 yuan a month.

Qin Jingru was very excited when she heard that her mind was full of fantasies about a better future. She even thought about giving Wang a few more children in the future. She couldn't sleep all night long and was called by Qin Huairu the next morning.

When he got up, he had two big black eyes, like a panda.

Qin Huairu got up very early, before dawn, and cooked the meal while the family was still sleeping.

After breakfast, Qin Huairu was going to Wang Zhong's house to help Wang Zhong clean up the house and wash clothes. However, since he planned to introduce his cousin to Wang Zhong, Qin Huairu naturally had to bring Qin Jingru with him.

When the two arrived at Wang Zhong's house, Wang Zhong had just made breakfast and was about to eat it!

As soon as Qin Jingru entered the door, she smelled the rich aroma of meat.

"Have you eaten yet? Let's eat some together?"

"We just ate!" Qin Huairu said.

"Where's sister Jingru? Can you have some more after you've eaten?" Qin Jingru looked at her cousin, then at Wang Zhong, and swallowed unsatisfactorily: "Then let me try it?"

"Go get the dishes and chopsticks yourself!"

There is a basin of cold water noodles and a bowl of fried sauce on the table.

Qin Jingru took a small bowl, filled it with only half a bowl of noodles, scooped out a spoonful of fried sauce, mixed it evenly, and then put it in her mouth.

"Brother Wang, this is so delicious!" Qin Jingru said happily.

"If it's delicious, just eat more!" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Qin Huairu entered the back room and helped Wang Zhong clear the table and bookshelf. The two of them were sitting in the main room eating noodles when suddenly the knock on the door rang again.

"Who?"

"It's me, Yu Haitang!" Yu Haitang's voice sounded outside the house.

"Yu Haitang?" Wang Zhong was a little confused: "The door is not closed, come in!"

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, the pretty Yu Haitang, wearing two ponytails, a red scarf, and trendy clothes, pushed the door in with a smile on her face.

"Wang Zhong, I heard..."

Yu Haitang, who was smiling all over his face, was only halfway through his words when he saw Qin Jingru sitting opposite Wang Zhong, eating noodles.

At this time, Qin Jingru was dressed in an old cotton-padded jacket, and her hair was only tied with a headband. Although she was wearing a jade hairpin and a cloth skirt, her face was pretty and pretty.

Yu Haitang couldn't help but frown.

"Who is she?" Yu Haitang asked almost subconsciously.

"This is Sister Qin's cousin from the Intermediate Court, Qin Jingru!" Wang Chong said with a smile, "What do you want from me?"

The smile that had just faded on Yu Haitang's face forced out again: "I heard that Shichahai is very lively these days, and I invite you to go skating together."

"I appreciate the kindness, but forget about skating. You can go alone. I don't like to join in the fun." Wang Zhong said.

Before Haitang could get frustrated, Wang Zhong changed his tone and said, "By the way, have you had breakfast? Have you eaten some together?"

"Okay! I was in a hurry just now and didn't eat much. I'm hungry now." Yu Haitang immediately walked to the dining table with a smile.

"Here comes Haitang!" Qin Huairu, who was cleaning up the room with a feather duster, also saw Yu Haitang and greeted Yu Haitang with a busy smile.

"Sister Qin is here too!" When Yu Haitang saw that Qin Huairu was also there, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She even found a reason for Wang Zhong. Qin Huairu wanted to introduce Qin Jingru's cousin to Wang Zhong, so she took the opportunity to come.

When Wang Chong's family was cleaning up, they brought everyone here with them.

Just in time to catch up with Wang Zhong having breakfast, Wang Zhong is not a person who does not understand etiquette. When he sees someone coming to the door for the first time, he must invite him, and then Qin Jingru starts eating without ceremony.

"I'm going to get the bowls and chopsticks!" Before Wang Zhong could say anything, Qin Jingru stood up on her own initiative, walked quickly to the cupboard, took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and handed them to Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang was stunned when he saw this, took the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Qin Jingru with some displeasure, but in front of Wang Zhong, he couldn't say anything.

Before Yu Haitang could move his chopsticks, there was another knock on the door. Wang Zhong asked, and sure enough, the person who came was none other than He Yuyu.

As soon as He Yuyu entered the door, he saw Qin Jingru and Yu Haitang sitting at the table. Qin Jingru was fine with that, but He Yuyu came over just because he knew that he saw Qin Huairu sisters coming to Wang Zhong's house.

But why is Yu Haitang here?

Although he had already learned from Wang Zhong that Wang Zhong was not interested in Haitang's temperament, he couldn't help but because Haitang was pretty, and a foxy face was the most seductive.

"Brother Wang Zhong, we're having breakfast!" Yu Yu greeted Wang Zhong with a smile on his face, as if he didn't see Qin Jingru or Yu Haitang at all.

Wang Zhong said again: "Have you eaten? If not, let's eat something together?"

"Okay!" He Yuyu agreed, walked to the cupboard with familiarity, took the bowl and chopsticks, and sat down opposite Yu Haitang.

"Thank you, Brother Wang Zhong!" He Yuyu looked at Wang Zhong and said with a smile.

"Don't show up! You can eat as much as you want! If you don't have enough noodles, you still have steamed buns. The leftovers from yesterday are being heated in the steamer."

As the saying goes, three women make a show, but Wang Zhong didn't mean to panic at all. It didn't matter how many women she had, life would still go on as usual. Even if these three women were gone, wouldn't there be other women?

?Without Zhang Butcher, we don’t have to eat pigs with hair on them.

"This must be Sister Jingru, right?" He Yuyu didn't pay much attention to Yu Haitang. Although Yu Haitang was indeed good-looking, she couldn't climb onto Wang Zhong's bed if she watched him every day, but Qin Jingru didn't.

Similarly, Wang Zhong had clearly rejected him before, and Qin Huairu specifically told him before returning to her parents' home that Wang Zhong asked her to introduce him to someone.

Qin Jingru nodded and said: "I am Qin Jingru, who are you?"

"My name is He Yuyu, and I live next door to Sister Qin's house."

"I know you, I heard it from my sister! Your brother is the master chef of your steel rolling mill canteen, let's call him He Yuzhu!" Qin Huairu had already introduced some of the courtyard houses to Qin Jingru before coming.

Especially for those who have a good relationship with Wang Zhong, we will focus on introducing them, including brother and sister He Yuzhu and He Yuyu.

Since Qin Huairu was determined to introduce Qin Jingru to Wang Zhong, she naturally told Qin Jingru that He Yuyu had always liked Wang Zhong.

To be honest, Qin Jingru was a little worried before seeing He Yuyu, but after seeing him, the sense of crisis was not that strong.

On the contrary, Yu Haitang, who was sitting across from Yu Haitang, felt an unprecedented sense of crisis and oppression.

Yu Haitang is young and beautiful, can dress up well, has a sweet voice, and judging from her family conditions, she is not comparable to a country girl.

"Let's eat noodles first. If you have any questions, we'll talk about it after dinner!" Wang Zhong spoke first before several people started to test each other tit for tat.

Wang Zhong had said this, and the three women naturally did not dare to say anything more. They lowered their heads and concentrated on eating noodles, but the three eyes always looked at Wang Zhong inadvertently.

Wang Zhong was holding a white-faced steamed bun in one hand and chopsticks in the other. The bowl was placed on the table in front of him, and he took a mouthful of noodles and a bite of steamed bun. His movements were graceful, but what he ate was called concentration, and what he looked at was sweet.

The three girls had already eaten breakfast and were not very hungry. Seeing that Wang Zhong was eating so attentively and the aroma of the fried sauce was extremely strong, their appetites suddenly increased and they all swallowed their saliva.

The noodles that Wang Chong cooked were originally for one person to eat, but now they were eaten by four people. Although the three women didn't eat much, the three of them together were a lot.

Fortunately, there were a lot of steamed buns left over from last night, otherwise, this meal might not be enough.

After dinner, Qin Jingru helped Qin Huairu clear the dishes and clean the kitchen. Yu Haitang and He Yuyu sat at the table and talked to Wang Zhong.

"Brother Wang Zhong, are you busy today?" Yu Yu originally wanted to ask while eating, but when Wang Zhong spoke, she could only endure it first, and finally waited until Wang Zhong finished eating.

Opportunity opens up.

Wang Zhongdao: "I made an appointment with the third uncle to go fishing in an ice hole outside the city."

The New Year greetings that should be celebrated have been celebrated, and the gifts that should be given have been given. Wang Zhong now has nothing to do and spends all day either fishing or reading at home.

"Can I come with you?" Yuyu immediately volunteered.

"I want to go too!" Yu Haitang next to her also said.

Wang Zhong said: "Let me make it clear to you first. With the weather like this, it's freezing outside. It's much colder by the river than in the city. Do you really want to go?"

"Why don't I just wear an extra sweater inside?" Yu Yu made up his mind and wanted to follow Wang Zhong today no matter what.

Seeing this, Yu Haitang was not to be outdone: "I'm not afraid of the cold!"

Wang Zhong spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is only room for one person in my car! Why don't you just stay at home? There is no need to follow us to the river and suffer that fate."

"Since you are suffering, why do you still go there every day?" He Yuyu asked soul torture.

Wang Zhong explained: "It must be because I like it. I only have such a small amount of vacation all year round, so I can't really enjoy it!"

It's not that Wang Zhong is so dedicated to fishing, it's just that there are no entertainment facilities now, and reading every day is meaningless. Riding a bike out of the city to fish in his spare time has its own fun.

"I want to give it a try!" Yuyu looked at Wang Zhong and said firmly.

Yu Haitang also expressed his intention to go with him, and even offered to take the third uncle's car there, so that Wang Zhong wouldn't have to worry.

Unable to defeat the two of them, Wang Zhong didn't say anything more. He told Qin Huairu and the two sisters to close the door when they left, then he went out with the fishing rod and bucket, and greeted the third uncle in the courtyard.
