After school, Yi Xuexi suddenly saw a bicycle parked in their yard.
The only two people with bicycles in the entire courtyard were Xu Damao and Yan Bugui. One of them was in the front yard, while the other was in the backyard. Neither of them was in the middle yard where Yi Xuexi's family lived.
Moreover, looking at the style of the bicycle, it did not belong to Li Baocai or Liu Jiacai, nor did it belong to He Yushui. Moreover, He Yushui was pregnant now. How could she come to their house?
After returning home, Yi Xuexi couldn't help but ask Aunt Yi, who was changing clothes on the edge of the Kang.
"Mom, who came to our courtyard today? Why do I see a bicycle at the entrance?”
Yi Xuexi asked casually as he put down his small bag.
"Hey, isn't it your Aunt Huai Ru's cousin across the street? She just arrived this afternoon. In order to pick up her cousin, your Aunt Huai Ru specially took half a day off this afternoon. Oh right, her cousin came here once before.”
Aunt Yi's attention was on the needlework in her hands.
If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Jingru had been so lively when she arrived that even Grandma Stick Stick came out to welcome her, she might not even have known that Qin Jingru had arrived.
Ever since Grandma Awesome scolded them at their doorstep, their relationship with Qin Huiru had faded.
"You must be Aunt Qin Jingru."
Although he was surprised, Yi Xuexi did not dare to show it on his face.
"That's right, it's Qin Jingru. You're quite good at remembering people. It seems that your Aunty Huai Ru wants to introduce her cousin to Silly Zhu.”
Aunt Yi said worriedly.
She was not acting. Although the relationship between her family and Shazhu had gradually faded, they were still very close in the past. Shazhu had also cooked for her family a few times. However, after Yi Xuexi came, their family gradually distanced themselves from Shazhu.
Although their relationship had faded, they were still from the same quad, so Aunt One was also very concerned about Silly Zhu's marriage. However, because Silly Zhu did not care, outsiders like them could not say anything.
Just as Aunt Yi was worried, Yi Xuexi had already taken out his book and started to do his homework. However, his heart was not on his homework.
The news of Qin Jingru's return was like a bolt from the blue to him. He originally thought that Qin Jingru would not come again after the previous incident. Moreover, because the meme did not come to kowtow during the New Year, he also felt that the timeline of this world had undergone a huge change. However, he did not expect Qin Jingru to come again like the original novel.
Since she came again, it meant that Qin Jingru did not care about Silly Zhu's reputation anymore. In other words, she really wanted to be with Silly Zhu this time.
How could he do that, he might want to see Silly Zhu grow old alone.
If Silly Zhu really got together with Qin Jingru this time, Qin Huiru would not be able to suck Silly Zhu's blood anymore.
Then, Qin Jingru would give birth to a boy and a girl for Silly Zhu. Then, he would have someone to support him in his old age.
How could this be?
For a bootlicker like Silly Zhu to be a tenured professor, it would only fit the script if he was kicked away by Qin Huairu after he grew old and lonely.
Because his mind was not on his homework, Yi Xuexue even found that he had done a question wrong when he checked. This was the first time since he started school.
Just as Yi Xuexi was worried, Qin Huairu was teaching Qin Jingru at home.
"Jingru, I've already told you 800 times, and your mother also told me when I went back. During this period of time, they also found someone to take a look at you. What was the result? Those people's conditions are not even as good as Silly Zhu's. They either lack arms and legs or have never eaten their next meal. After counting, Silly Zhu's conditions are the best. She has the skills to cook and doesn't have to worry about hunger and fatigue. She can make at least 40 yuan a month. These conditions are already the best you can find.”
Qin Huiru was also persuading Qin Jingru as she poured water for Grandma Stick Stupid and Qin Jingru.
She had already heard from her parents that her two uncles and aunts had gone to a few matchmakers in the city to marry Qin Jingru. However, none of them were good. Otherwise, Qin Jingru would not have come today.
"But since Silly Zhu doesn't lack food, why would he steal other people's chickens?”
Qin Jingru still did not believe it.
Even in the countryside, not many people would steal chickens to eat. Since that idiot stole someone else's chicken, why didn't he lack food?
"My good sister, didn't I already explain to you? Silly Zhu took the blame for the gangster. That chicken was actually stolen by the gangster. It's just that Silly Zhu likes the gangster quite a bit. She was worried that if this matter was spread out, it would be bad for the gangster's reputation, so she took the initiative to take the blame.”
Qin Huairu said helplessly.
She still didn't know that everyone in Nanluogu Alley knew that the stick was a thief.
But that was right. Even if others knew, they wouldn't say anything in front of her. It wasn't a good thing.
"Even if we don't talk about the chicken, that idiot was sent to the detention center for stealing and was punished to sweep the floor.”
Qin Jingru was still a little unwilling.
Even in the countryside, people would look down on her if she had been in the detention center. No matter what, she was still a virgin. How could she marry someone who had been in the detention center? It would be a joke if word got out.
"Didn't I tell you? The reason why Silly Zhu stole the bicycle wheels from Uncle San's house was because he asked Uncle San to help him with something. In the end, Uncle San didn't do it for him after he accepted the things, so Silly Zhu stole his bicycle wheels. Even if he was punished to sweep the floor, Silly Zhu now has time to go out and do private work. He can earn seven yuan a day. Think about it, in the countryside, your family doesn't even earn seven yuan a month.”
Qin Huairu was a little displeased when she mentioned this.
In the past, when Silly Zhu was in the canteen, her family's dining table was filled with leftovers from the canteen. But now, their family had been eating wild vegetables for several months. On the other hand, Yanbu Gui's family in the front yard ate so much that their mouths were dripping with oil. They were not afraid of having a stomachache after eating too much.
Although Silly Zhu could go out and cook for others, there were people watching the leftovers. It was already good enough that he could get money. As for the leftovers, he could forget about it.
Even though Silly Zhu would still lend her some money from time to time as long as she asked for it, she could forget about getting food and leftovers like before. Compared to money, Qin Huiru would rather get leftovers and food.
She had taken those things, so she didn't mind. Silly Zhu was too embarrassed to ask her to return them, but money was different. Maybe one day, Silly Zhu would think of asking her to return the money. If not for that, she wouldn't have introduced Qin Jingru to Silly Zhu.
"But I'm still a little worried. If I follow Silly Zhu in the future, if Silly Zhu goes in again, then I'll have to live as a widow.”
This was what Qin Jingru was most worried about.
She knew how difficult her sister's life was. In the past, she was the envy of the entire village, but now, her life was worse than that of the people in the village.
"What do you mean by going in? Jingru, can you say something? Anyway, you're here this time. Whether you want to meet with Silly Zhu or not, you can decide for yourself.”
Qin Huairu was a little angry.
If it wasn't for Silly Zhu who had gone in and was still in the canteen, their family wouldn't have to eat wild vegetables and cornbread all day long.
"Sis, don't be angry. I'll see.”
Seeing Qin Huairu's anger, Qin Jingru calmed down. The fact that she was able to come over today meant that she wanted to enter the city.
And among her partners, Silly Zhu was already considered a better candidate. Although he had been in the detention center, he could still earn more than 40 yuan a month. At least, he was better than those who were missing arms and legs.
"If you decide to meet him, then you can stay here for the night. Tomorrow is the weekend. I'll tell Shazhu in advance at night and tell him not to take on any jobs tomorrow.”
This was something Qin Huiru had discussed with Granny Awesome during the New Year.
"I'll stay for one night, but when I borrowed the bicycle, I told someone that I would return it tonight.”
Even in the courtyard, there were only two bicycles, and there were even fewer in the countryside. Qin Jingru's entire village only had one bicycle. Usually, they had to queue up to borrow a bicycle. This time, Qin Jingru had agreed to borrow a bicycle since the New Year.
"You don't have to worry about that. When your father sees that you're not coming back, he'll definitely tell someone else.”
After saying this, Qin Huairu started to get busy in the house.
Their family's large brick bed was meant for the five of them to sleep on, so it was obvious that Qin Jingru could not squeeze in. Therefore, Qin Huairu had to prepare a bed on the floor now, planning to let Qin Jingru sleep on it for the night.
While she was busy, Qin Huiru thought of the second room. If He Yushui did not change rooms, she would definitely tell Silly Zhu to let Qin Jingru stay in that room for the night. Silly Zhu would definitely agree. This way, it would be easier for her to let Grandma Stick Stick and Stick stay in the future.
It was a pity that He Yushui had made the decision to change houses with the street office, so she could only look at that house and daydream. The people from the street office were not Silly Zhu. Silly Zhu might give her the house to live in, but the people from the street office would definitely not agree.
She did not dare to pry open the lock of the room. After all, there was a seal on the room. Whoever dared to tear the seal would be sent to the detention center. At least, Qin Huairu did not have the guts to do so.
Moreover, she had been worrying about where the boy would sleep in the future. Seeing that the boy was about to enter junior high school this year, it would be inappropriate for them to sleep on the same brick bed. She did not know what to do then.
After tidying up the floor, Bang Tien and the others also came back. Needless to say, Bang Tien had skipped school again today. If he had finished school on time, he would have come back with Yi Xuexi.
However, in front of Qin Huairu, the stick would not admit that he had skipped school. Little Dang and Huai Hua would not admit it either.
In Qin Huairu's heart, she had thought that the boy had gone to school for a day.
Of course, Yi Xuexi also knew that the idol had skipped school today. When they went home after school, Bao Kangmei had told them about the idol skipping school. However, how could Yi Xuexi possibly tell Qin Huiru?
When he was checking his homework, Yi Zhonghai also found traces of Yi Xuexi's correction. This made him frown. Yi Xuexi actually did the wrong question. This was too unexpected. After all, Yi Xuexi had never made a single mistake in his homework before.
"Xuexi, tell me honestly. Did someone bully you in school?”
Yi Zhonghai's first thought was that the bad kids in school bullied him because of his excellent grades.
Although Yi Zhonghai had never gone to a proper school, he still knew a little about these things. It was just like when he was in the rolling mill. When he took the fitter examination, many people in the factory laughed at him. Even some leaders did not think well of him.
Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have only had two disciples, Chen Nuanjin and Li Baocai, after working in the rolling mill for so many years. It was all because others didn't like him, so they went around making things difficult for him.
"Dad, no. Why are you asking this? Your son looks like someone who's been bullied by others.”
Yi Xuexi did not understand.
She was too good at pretending to be a good child. Why did Yi Zhonghai think that she was someone who could be bullied by others?
In fact, in school, with Chen Jingjing, the devil king, and Bao Yuanchao, the Innate Master, no one in their class dared to provoke him. Even those upper-grade children had Bao Kangmei to stop them.
Moreover, because they had to copy his homework in the morning, those people in the class wanted to worship Yi Xuexi. How could they bully him?
"I don't think so either. Then why did you do the wrong question? This question is clearly very simple. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have done it wrong.”
Yi Zhonghai pointed at the wrong question.
The question was 31 minus 7. Yi Xuexi should have been right, but he was wrong.
Yi Xuexi's mind raced. He definitely couldn't tell Yi Zhonghai that he was worried about Silly Zhu and Qin Jingru getting married. That way, Silly Zhu wouldn't be alone for the rest of her life. After all, his image as a good child was still there.
Since he couldn't use this reason, he had to think of a more suitable reason. Thinking about the news he heard in school, Yi Xuexi immediately thought of a good idea.
"Dad, I'm worried about Teacher Ran.”
"Worried about Teacher Ran? Why? She probably won't teach you.”
Yi Zhonghai was not the only one who was confused. Even Aunt Yi was confused. Both of them looked at Yi Xuexi curiously.
"Someone in the school said that Teacher Ran is not qualified to teach students. They even said that Teacher Ran would be punished to sweep the streets. However, Teacher Ran was stopped by Principal Xue, so Teacher Ran did not go. However, Teacher Ran is clearly a very good person, and Brother Kangmei also said that Teacher Ran is very good at teaching them.”
