Chapter 161 introduces my cousin.
After learning about the situation, Director Wang of the neighborhood office agreed to Yi Zhonghai's resignation, but did not change the way he addressed him as Second Uncle Liu Haizhong and Third Uncle Yan Bugui.
The neighborhood committee is aware of the situation and knows that there are only a few reliable people in this courtyard.
Although Yi Zhonghai has his problems, he at least handles small matters very well.
Liu Haizhong? He can't even speak clearly, how can he act like a grandpa?
As for Yan Bugui, he's not worth mentioning. In the end, he doesn't have a solid foundation, and there are many people older than him. Who would respect him?
After He Daqing returned to the courtyard house, there were quite a few changes.
First of all, Jia Zhangshi won't be able to eat Sha Zhu's lunchbox anymore, because Sha Zhu is now being punished to sweep the floor, and He Daqing is back without a job. Doesn't Sha Zhu need to support him?
He didn't care. Even if Sha Zhu was sweeping the floor, he would still get paid, which would be enough for the two of them to live on.
As for He Yushui and Shazhu's affair, He Daqing felt that since he had given them living expenses, he had no debt to them.
After resolving Yi Zhonghai's matter, He Yushui told He Daqing that she wouldn't be coming back to live there, since the house was still in Sha Zhu's hands anyway.
Although Sha Zhu bought a house, he couldn't let his father live in the side room, so he moved in himself to live in the small room, leaving the big one for He Daqing.
He Yushui left the courtyard house without making a splash, mainly because after she met Yang Ke, she could only return to the courtyard house a few days a year.
Nobody finds it surprising that they're announcing they won't move back.
Life goes on as usual. After a few days of excitement for He Daqing's return, people didn't pay much attention to him anymore.
He Daqing is quite satisfied with his current life, because he is two years older than Yi Zhonghai and was already nearing retirement.
He had no excuse to come back before, but now that he's back, of course he won't leave. He spends his days fishing with his fishing rod.
He takes care of his own lunch, and in the evening, Sha Zhu cooks for him so he can have a small sip of wine.
Yang Ke basically just waited 15 years before making his escape. He had already taken what he needed to take and cleaned up what he needed to clean up.
In 1965, when the story begins, Sha-zhu's blind dates still end in failure every time.
Even without Qin Huairu's introduction, Xu Damao remained single, and Yu Haitang and Qin Jingru were irrelevant to them.
Yang Ke didn't mind bringing Qin Jingru over, mainly because this girl had very few requirements.
Qi Huairu knew her situation. Although she maintained her appearance and figure very well, now that her child was older, she could no longer look for Yang Ke in the middle of the night like before.
The best way to solidify the relationship between the two is naturally to have Qin Jingru become Yang Ke's wife, so that she, as the recommender, can continue to benefit from it.
"You're going to introduce your cousin to me?"
Yang Ke found it somewhat interesting after listening, but not much.
If Qin Jingru hadn't been too old, Yang Ke would have gone to find her long ago. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to be so quick to recommend her.
"Is that okay? She's quite good-looking and has a great figure, no worse than me."
Qin Huairu thought Yang Ke was worried about something else, so she immediately praised Qin Jingru.
“No problem at all. Since you have the idea, then bring her over in a few days. I’ll give you an address, and you can bring your cousin there to see me.”
He Yushui went to Hong Kong last year, and the courtyard house where Yu Li and the others lived before was no longer occupied. Yang Ke naturally didn't mind letting Qin Jingru live there.
"Okay, then you can't treat me badly. I've even introduced you to my cousin."
Qin Huairu snuggled up to Yang Ke and acted coquettishly.
"What are you talking about? Who brought the Jia family to live a peaceful life all these years?"
Yang Ke slapped Qin Huairu's butt hard, teaching this ungrateful woman a lesson.
"What if someone hears us? We're going to die!"
Qin Huairu's voice immediately changed, not out of worry, but for other reasons.
"Then keep your voice down. You're always the one shouting."
Yang Ke's room is made of very good materials, so he's not worried about people overhearing him, but teasing Qin Huairu is no problem.
Two days later, on Sunday morning, Qin Huairu hurriedly went to the countryside to pick up her cousin.
Qin Jingru couldn't sit still when she heard Yang Ke's conditions, and neither could her family.
Don't be fooled by how much better things are now 65 years ago; in the countryside, it was common to earn less than 10 yuan a year farming.
If they could work in the city like Qin Huairu, even if Qin Jingru only earned a little over 200 yuan a year, it would be a huge fortune for her family.
"Sister, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Qin Jingru said, her composure failing her.
The main reason is that Yang Ke's conditions are too good. He's a section chief, his family is extremely rich, he has three rooms and other houses, and eating meat and going to restaurants every day is nothing to him.
Is this the kind of life she can imagine?
With trepidation, Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu arrived in the city together and found the courtyard house that Yang Ke had mentioned.
"Knock knock."
Qin Huairu had never been here before and didn't know anything about the courtyard house, so she knocked on the door first.
"Coming?"
Yang Ke opened the door and greeted the two of them with a smile.
Qin Jingru originally thought that someone who was so good to her cousin was still single must be an ugly duckling who no one else would want, which was why he was dating a country girl like her. But she didn't expect Yang Ke to be so handsome.
Stop looking and come in quickly.
Qin Huairu was used to it and was fine, so she pulled Qin Jingru into the courtyard.
Don't tell me she's been with Yang Ke for years, but they usually spend time together late at night in the courtyard or a warehouse room in the steel mill. She's never been to Yang Ke's place.
"This place is really nice, is no one living here yet?"
Looking at the somewhat dusty courtyard house, Qin Huairu immediately felt envious of Qin Jingru.
She knew that Yang Ke had a cousin named You Fengxia at the factory, whose figure, appearance, and temperament were no worse than hers. As for her cousin, Yang Ke would not miss the opportunity as long as she was allowed to enter the family.
As long as Qin Jingru doesn't object, she'll probably stay here from now on.
"Yes, it's been vacant for almost a year. After you finish eating, you can tidy it up properly. You can come over and keep Jingru company if you have time."
Yang Ke didn't think Qin Jingru would reject him.
From a true perspective, Qin Jingru's affection for him exceeded 90%, meaning she would never refuse anything Yang Ke said.
"Okay."
Qin Huairu was delighted to hear this; hadn't she gotten the better deal?
"Come on, let's eat first."
Yang Ke didn't pay attention to their expressions and called them to go to the kitchen together.
"There's so much food, how can we possibly finish it all?"
Seeing that Yang Ke had prepared four dishes and a soup, with several kilograms of pork and several bags of flour on the side, she said with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Stop drooling. As long as you behave, do you think Yang Ke will let you go hungry?"
Qin Huairu was also jealous when she saw her cousin's loss of composure, so she interrupted her.
Ultimately, Qin Huairu herself was a daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Yang Ke would at most occasionally give her some meat to eat, but he dared not be too obvious about it.
But the food in the kitchen now is better than what the Jia family eats in a year. How could she not be jealous of Qin Jingru, who is about to live such a life every day?
"Alright, you can come over here to keep Jingru company whenever you have time. Just don't go too far, I won't mind if you eat a little bit."
Yang Ke wasn't the type to deny things after they'd been done, so he naturally knew what Qin Huairu was jealous of.
The reason he's willing to give her some food to take back to the Jia family now isn't because he's had a change of heart, but because Jia Dang and Kuihua are both at the age where they need to grow, so he naturally wants to take a little more care of them.
