"I still don't agree!"

"I'm going to buy a piece of meat. Jingru will come over and have dumplings tonight."

With that said, Qin Huairu lowered her head and ran out.

Mrs. Jia Zhang looked annoyed, "This shameless guy is usually very clever, so why is he so confused?"

He rolled his eyes and suddenly looked at Qin Jingru under the big locust tree, with a smile on his face.

Yang Xiaotao rode back to the courtyard, carrying a new pot on the bike.

The pressure cooker at home was given away. The family is used to using it, but now it is really difficult to cook with this thing.

Fortunately, there is still a piece of leather used to make the sealing ring, so I don’t have to look for materials hard. I took advantage of my break from work and tinkered in the workshop and finally got it.

Back home, Zhou's mother was cooking. Yang Xiaotao said hello and put the pressure cooker in the yard. He boiled it in boiling water to remove the smell.

Then take out a portion of the ribs from the space, cut it into pieces with a knife, and throw it into the pressure cooker to cook.

Find a chair, sit down, and read a book.

Wangcai returned to Yangjiazhuang, and Xiaowei shuttled around the yard, hiding in the lentil rack for a while. The lentils suddenly became bigger, and then ran into the cucumbers. Each cucumber girl quickly stretched, and there were a bunch of melons.

Seven or eight seedlings are separated from it, and each seedling has three or four fist-sized melons.

Under Xiaowei's play, the whole yard is full of vitality and glowing with spring color.

The things in this courtyard are envied by everyone who sees them, not only in this courtyard house but also in the surrounding alleys.

Zhou Kui came out with his daughter in his arms, laughing. Yang Xiaotao quickly stood up and took it carefully.

"Xiao Yu, smile!"

Yang Xiaotao is experienced. He holds the quilt firmly, and his exposed little face and big eyes are very cute.

Zhou Kui's daughter's nickname is Xiaoyu, named after Liu Yuhua, and her eldest name is Zhou Wen, named after Zhou's mother.

Zhou Kui stood aside with the same silly smile.

The two grown men just looked at the ignorant little girl and teased her for a while.

"Brother Tao!"

"elder brother!"

Zhou Peng came out of the house and ran over to see his niece.

But his eyes glanced at Qin Jingru in the courtyard.

It has to be said that Qin Jingru was born in the countryside. If she were in this city, there would have been a fight for her.

"Is this woman here again?"

Zhou Peng naturally looked down on Qin Jingru, but he couldn't hold back the gossip in his heart, "Tell me, she's not here for Xu Damao, right?"

"Whatever we love, it has nothing to do with us."

Yang Xiaotao said, "What happened to you and that guy from the textile factory?"

"You're talking about Xiao Wei, I don't know what she means. Anyway, she neither agrees nor refuses."

Zhou Peng said helplessly, he had real feelings for that girl.

"That's just trying to catch you, waiting for something better."

Yang Xiaotao casually deflated the pressure cooker, and a line of smoke came out, and the aroma of pork ribs and meat quickly filled the surrounding area.

The only disadvantage of this pressure cooker is that it has to be operated manually, which is a bit dangerous.

Of course, if you cook pork ribs, boil chicken, etc. like this, you can smell it in the whole courtyard when it is released. It is too ostentatious.

Zhou Kui took his daughter and was about to put it back when Yang Xiaotao picked two melons from the yard and threw one to Zhou Peng.

Zhou Peng wiped it on his body and took a bite.

"Brother, I also know. You said it last time, but you just can't help but miss her."

Yang Xiaotao didn't look at him, but said lightly, "Do you want to be like Sha Zhu?"

Zhou Peng was stunned, then lowered his head and ate slowly.

Not far away, Qin Jingru stood up holding the Sophora japonica, her nose twitching to find the source, and then she saw Yang Xiaotao's house.

What's cooking in that pot must be meat, pork.

Licking his lips, he saw people in the courtyard eating melon, and his stomach immediately became upset.

Some people around were envious and talked about how the Zhou family had met a noble person and how they were living behind Yang Xiaotao.

Qin Jingru felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this.

Holding the Sophora japonica in my arms, I returned home.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was also poisoned by Yang Xiaotao's pork ribs and had a stomachache. Looking at the situation at Yang Xiaotao's house, her head also hurt.

Bangge and Xiaodang stood far away, looking straight over there, but unfortunately, it was of no use at all.

Yang Xiaotao didn't even look at it and wouldn't give him anything.

Even other people in this courtyard can eat a little bit, but their family can't eat even a little bit.

When Qin Jingru came back, Jia Zhang looked away with a smile on her face.

"Jingru, come in quickly. Take care of the child now that you're here. Thank you, aunt!"

"It's okay, Auntie, I will also take care of my sister-in-law's children in the countryside!"

"That's different. In the countryside, you just put the child on the ground and the adults do whatever they want. But it's different in the city. The child has to be looked after and goes to school when he grows up. You see, this awesome guy will be born in September.

It’s time to go into first grade, so that’s all.”

"Does your child also go to school?"

Qin Jingru lowered her head, "There is a school in the farm next door, but not in our village!"

"You see, this is different. In this city, children can go to school as long as they are old enough."

"There is a huge difference in future prospects whether you go to school or not. Do you think so?"

Qin Jingru thought of Yang Xiaotao, the present day and the past days, and nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang became even more energetic.

"Also, it's easier for children in this city to find jobs when they grow up after going to school. For those in the village, forget it, let's not talk about it."

"People in the village can only work in the fields like their fathers did. They cannot live without the land and eat dirt all their lives."

Qin Jingru gritted her teeth and said, Jia Zhang was so happy.

When Qin Huairu came back with the meat, Jia Zhang and Qin Jingru were talking energetically.

We finally had dumplings at home for dinner.

When the dumplings came out of the pan, the dough was a little dark and hot, and there wasn't even much diced meat in it. But the dumplings couldn't wait at all, so they sucked them into their mouths while they were hot, and kept staring at the plate with one eye, for fear of being eaten too much.

Gone.

Jia Zhang's, Qin Jingru's, etc. are not much better than Banggeng, and their food is also sucking.

After a while, a pot of dumplings was eaten by several people. Then Qin Jingru was drinking the dumpling soup and sat there speechless.

Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu, but when she saw that the other party still didn't speak, she felt anxious.

Qin Huairu looked calm because she knew that this matter could not be rushed.

Qin Jingru waited for a while, looked at Qin Huairu, then at Jia Zhang, finally put down the bowl and gritted her teeth.

"Sister! Please help me!"

Qin Huairu looked over calmly and said, "Jingru, we are sisters, we are just talking about this!"

"As long as sister can help, I will definitely help!"

Qin Jingru nodded, "Sister, I want to stay in the city. You can help me find a home."

There was silence in the room.

The conversation with Jia Zhang just now made Qin Jingru realize the reality more clearly. Returning to the village would mean farm work that she would have to do for the rest of her life, and if she wanted to change her destiny, she had to stay in the city.

Moreover, the two women in front of her, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, are the best examples.

They all come from rural areas, but live the life of city dwellers.

They can do it, and so can she.

"Jingru, it's a bit difficult for me to be like this!"

Qin Huairu said helplessly, "Sister, I don't know much in this city. I can only talk in the alley."

"But you also know that these people all know about you..."

Qin Jingru felt disappointed after hearing this.

Not all people in the city may appreciate an innocent farm girl.
