Overjoyed, Qin Jingru beamed with joy

"Jingru, this is the second uncle!"

"This is the third uncle, he lives right across from us."

"This is Nan Yi, the chef of the cafeteria, and this is his wife, teacher Ran Qiu Ye Ran."

"..."

There was constant applause, and Jiang Pingan introduced Qin Jingru one by one.

Qin Jingru distributed toffee to everyone with a smile on her face.

This time I don’t give much. Each of the adults and children will be counted as one, and each person will be given two pills.

No one thinks it's too little, it's like this these days, supplies are scarce, so it's good to have some sweets.

Soon, the welcome ceremony was over and everyone dispersed. Xu Damao suddenly said loudly:

"To celebrate the arrival of Director Jiang's partner, we will show two movies in our courtyard tonight to celebrate!"

Well, the applause that just fell suddenly started ringing again.

"Haha, Xu Damao finally took care of his personal affairs!"

"No matter what, we are taking advantage of Director Jiang, so we must remember his kindness!"

"Eat early in the evening, dress warmly, bring the stove, and watch a movie happily!"

"..."

Jiang Ping'an saw Xu Damao being so polite and said happily: "Xu Damao, come to my house for a drink tonight!"

Today happens to be the New Year's Eve. I'm having dumplings tonight, so I just have to ask Xu Damao to come over and I'll just have an extra pair of chopsticks.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there!" Hearing this, Xu Damao smiled widely, almost reaching his ears.

Return home.

He Yuyu and Qin Huairu each poured a basin of hot water over and asked Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru to wash their faces.

Qin Jingru looked at the room curiously and said, "This house is really nice!"

"Hehe, Brother Ping'an hired someone to renovate this last year." He Yuyu said with a smile.

"The furniture in the house is all in order, even if it turns three times and makes a sound!"

After Qin Jingru washed her face, she ran to the sewing machine and looked around, beaming with joy.

She became even happier when she saw a new bicycle lying at her feet.

This car is exactly the one that Huarun issued to Jiang Pingan, and it will be used by Qin Jingru from now on.

In addition to bicycles, there are also record players and radios.

Although Qin Jingru had heard from Jiang Ping'an a long time ago that everything at home was ready.

But when I actually saw the real thing, I couldn't help but be excited.

"Everything is good, but I don't know how to use a sewing machine." After she was happy, Qin Jingru said hesitantly.

Qin Huairu smiled and said: "It's no coincidence. I will teach you when I have time, and you will learn it soon."

Jiang Ping'an said: "If you just want to sew, you can just learn from your cousin."

"You said that if you have better tailoring skills, you can learn from your sister Ladi. She has very good skills."

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up and she nodded: "That's okay. I'll learn from my cousin for a few days to lay the foundation."

"When you have some basic skills, you can go to Sister Ladi to learn from me. I just have nothing to do and can learn some skills."

Then, Jiang Ping'an took Qin Jingru to the bedroom and opened a wardrobe, which was full of women's clothes.

"I told you that you don't need to bring clothes. Look, they have already been arranged for you." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

Qin Jingru walked to the closet and said happily: "Will this cost a lot of money?"

"Don't buy it again in the future, it's too much waste."

After looking around, Qin Jingru looked at her watch and found that it was already noon, so she quickly went to the kitchen to cook.

Qin Huairu said goodbye and took the initiative to leave. However, He Yuyu and Jiang Ping'an asked her to stay and have dinner together.

In the kitchen.

He Yuyu pulled Qin Jingru and told her where to place grain, meat, eggs, vegetables, seasonings, etc.

At the same time, he muttered to her some things that needed attention in the courtyard.

With Yuyu's explanation, Qin Jingru quickly became familiar with the environment.

Jia family.

When Qin Huairu returned home, Banggeng was showing off to Jia Zhang:

"My aunt only gives out two candies to others, but she grabbed a handful for me, and there were eight of them!"

"Grandma, you also have two candies, right? You are old and your teeth can't bite, so why don't you give them to me?"

Jia Zhang smiled and said: "Banggen, if you are filial, you should give me three pills, so we all have five."

"Although grandma can't chew the candy, she can hold it in her mouth and it will melt."

Qin Huairu walked into the house and said angrily: "Mom, how old are you, and you still compete with BangGeng for candy?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang laughed, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Didn't Jiang Ping'an leave you to eat there?"

"Jingru just arrived today and is still busy. She said that Banggeng and I would go over for dinner in the evening." Qin Huairu said.

Mrs. Jia Zhang nodded slightly: "It's a close relationship after all, but it's different. Jiang Ping'an never asked Banggian to eat before."

"By the way, your cousin is a girl from the countryside. How does she look? She's so cool!"

"It...it seems that all the girls in our Qinjia Village are pretty good-looking." Qin Huairu thought for a while and said.

"Many people say that the soil and water in Qinjia Village is good, and the girl has good skin, but she never gets tanned."

"Just like Jingru's sister Jingmeng, she is about the same age as me. She does farm work every day and doesn't look black."

Jia Zhang was surprised and said: "Really or not? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"

"Of course it's true, but why should I tell you this when I have nothing to do?" Qin Huairu nodded and smiled.

"Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to cook. I'll steam some steamed buns at noon and you can heat them up and eat them in the evening."

"Originally, we were going to eat dumplings in the evening, but you and Xiaodang probably won't be able to eat much, so we might as well save the white noodles for the New Year."

As for the little Sophora japonica, it’s not weaned yet, so there’s no need to worry.

Jia Zhang nodded and asked, "Who did Jiang Ping'an invite to dinner tonight?"

"The second uncle, the third uncle and his wife, the Nanyi couple, Xu Damao, He Yuyu, plus me and Banggan!"

Qin Huairu replied, paused, and added: "Aunt Yi is not here this morning, so I should also invite her."

"You can't go empty-handed. You have to buy a few kilograms of oranges in the afternoon to give away. It's just a token of your gratitude."

…

"Sister Jingru, I've been looking forward to your arrival for a long time!" He Yuyu said with a smile while cutting vegetables.

"I don't have many friends in the courtyard. I just have a conversation with Brother Ping'an. When you come, someone will accompany me."

Qin Jingru smiled and said: "I am new here and I am not familiar with the place. You should accompany me."

"Sister Jingru, isn't Qin Huairu your cousin? You and her..." He Yuyu hesitated.

Qin Jingru shook her head and said: "Even though they are relatives, their bones are connected to their tendons, but sometimes they are not as good as outsiders."

Then she told in a few words what Qin Huairu had done to instigate the relationship between her and Jiang Ping'an.

"I rarely hold grudges against people, but just because of this, I can remember her forever." Qin Jingru said.

He Yuyu nodded and said: "I also think she is unhappy. You don't know, my brother..."

Then she complained bitterly to Qin Jingru, saying that He Yuzhu was so obsessed with Qin Huairu.

After hearing this, Qin Jingru was surprised and said, "Then my cousin didn't do anything extraordinary, right?"

"Well, that's not true. I have something to say. Qin Huairu still has nothing to say on this point." He Yuyu said.
