Sihe Academy

When they returned to the Sihe Academy from Nantai Commune, the sun had already set behind the mountains.

Looking at the lively He residence, Cao Weiguo was a bit surprised.

Sha Zhhu and his date made up?

"Brother Xu!"

"What's going on at Sha Zhhu's house?"

Running into Xu Damao in the backyard, Cao Weiguo couldn't help but ask.

Xu Damao said with an ugly face: "In the morning, Sha Zhhu's date called Sha Zhhu out, and in the afternoon, the two of them came back laughing and talking."

Cao Weiguo laughed: "This Sha Zhhu has some tricks!"

Xu Damao said viciously: "Sha Zhhu, that grandson, wants to take a wife? He's dreaming!"

Sha Zhhu having a wife, children, and a warm bed is the last thing Xu Damao wants to see.

Seeing Sha Zhhu and his date make up, Xu Damao was so angry he smashed several cups.

He had been thinking about how to sabotage it, and he wouldn't give up until he ruined Sha Zhhu's marriage.

Xu Damao was fuming and wanted to sabotage it, and Qin Huairu was also running around in a panic.

These two had clearly fallen out, how could they make up?

Jia Zhangshi said with a gloomy face: "What's the use of you just spinning around, hurry up and think of a way."

Qin Huairu said angrily: "I'm thinking about it!"

Jia Zhangshi narrowed her triangular eyes: "Why don't you take the three children to the He residence to make trouble again."

Qin Huairu thought for a while: "Let's see."

Banggeng shouted eagerly: "Mom! Let's go over, I saw Sha Zhhu stir-frying meat!"

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth: "Let's go! We're going over!"

"Meat time!"

Banggeng cheered happily, holding his two younger sisters' hands as they followed Qin Huairu out the door.

"Zhhu, eating!"

"Qin Jie!"

Qin Huairu brought the children to the door, and Sha Zhhu stood up as if his butt had been pricked by a needle.

Jin Lian asked with a smile: "Qin Jie, is something the matter?"

Qin Huairu said with a difficult expression: "Oh! I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this child is greedy and insists on eating meat, I..."

Sha Zhhu laughed: "Hi! What's this! It's normal for children to want to eat meat. Banggeng, Xiaodang, Huaihua, sit down and eat!"

Jin Lian's face turned ugly as she gripped her chopsticks, enduring her dissatisfaction without saying a word.

Banggeng didn't stand on ceremony at all and pulled the basin of potato-stewed meat in front of him: "Uncle Sha, get me chopsticks!"

Sha Zhhu laughed and scolded as he went to get chopsticks: "You brat, can't you get them yourself, you only know how to order your Uncle Sha around."

He didn't forget to invite Qin Huairu to sit down: "Qin Jie, you sit down and eat something too."

Qin Huairu said with a charming smile: "I'm really sorry, when I get my wages, I'll invite you to my house for a meal."

Sha Zhhu laughed honestly: "Qin Jie, why are you being so polite with me? I know your family isn't having an easy time, if the children are greedy, just come over, don't be a stranger."

Qin Huairu glanced at Jin Lian: "Of course I won't be a stranger with you, I'm just worried about disturbing Jin Lian."

Jin Lian said gently: "No, Qin Jie, you're overthinking it."

Qin Huairu laughed: "As long as Jin Lian doesn't mind."

Banggeng buried his head and ate meat in big mouthfuls, his mouth full of oil.

Xiaodang and Huaihua didn't dare to grab meat from Banggeng, so they used their chopsticks to pick at the scrambled eggs.

For this meal, Sha Zhhu had prepared three dishes in total: potato-stewed meat, scrambled eggs, and shredded potatoes.

Now, all that was left for Jin Lian to pick at was the shredded potatoes, which had the least oil.

Even though Sha Zhhu's skills were good and he made the shredded potatoes fragrant and crispy.

At this moment, Jin Lian had no appetite.

After eating a few mouthfuls, she put down her chopsticks: "Brother He, it's getting late, I'm going home first. Don't forget to go to Bai Yang Alley to cook tomorrow."

Sha Zhhu stood up in a hurry: "Jin Lian, I'll see you off."

Jin Lian said softly: "No need, you still have to work tomorrow, rest early."

Sha Zhhu said with concern: "It's dark and unsafe, I'll see you off."

Sha Zhhu insisted on seeing her off, and Jin Lian didn't continue to refuse.

Sha Zhhu looked at Qin Huairu: "Qin Jie, I'm seeing Jin Lian home, you guys eat slowly."

Qin Huairu said softly like a young wife: "Go, be safe on the road, come back early."

Jin Lian looked at Qin Huairu meaningfully and said with a smile: "Qin Jie, I'm leaving, you eat slowly."

After speaking, Jin Lian endured her displeasure and walked out of the room, and Sha Zhhu followed her out with a smile.

Banggeng buried his head and ate greedily, and Qin Huairu's face looked a bit ugly.

This Jin Lian is different from the women she has encountered before!

Her punches seemed to have landed on cotton!

This woman Jin Lian didn't even flip out on the spot!

And she could even smile harmoniously!

Jin Lian and Sha Zhhu walked out of the Sihe Academy, and the street was cold and quiet.

"Brother He, are you very close with Qin Jie?"

Hearing Jin Lian's question, Sha Zhhu said mindlessly:

"That's right! Qin Jie and I are closer than real siblings!"

"Qin Jie not only helps me wash dirty clothes but also often helps me tidy up the room."

Jin Lian lowered her head and said softly: "Brother He, I'll help you wash your clothes in the future."

"I'll also tidy up the room, you don't have to trouble Qin Jie anymore."

"I don't mind that you and Qin Jie are close, I just want to share some housework for you."

"After all, we are going to get married in the future, and we are going to live together."

"Qin Jie is a widow after all, and she's always helping you wash clothes and tidy up the room."

"This is bad for Qin Jie's reputation, we can't harm Qin Jie."

Sha Zhhu looked at the gentle and delicate Jin Lian, moved:

"Jin Lian, you are so good, you are the kindest girl I have ever met."

Jin Lian lowered her head shyly: "Brother He, you are also the kindest man I have ever met."

The soft words made Sha Zhhu's heart soak in a hot spring.

It was warm and extremely comfortable!

Halfway there, Jin Lian suddenly said:

"Brother He, you go back first, I still have to go to my aunt's house."

Sha Zhhu asked curiously: "Why are you going to your aunt's house so late?"

Jin Lian said with a bitter expression: "My mother's old cold legs are acting up, I want to go to the hospital to buy medicine for her, but the money at home is all gone, so I have no choice but to go to my aunt to borrow some money for an emergency."

Sha Zhhu said immediately: "Hi! Why didn't you say so earlier, how much money do you need, I'll give it to you."

Jin Lian shook her head: "That won't do, we aren't married yet, how can I take your money."

Sha Zhhu said affectionately: "We aren't married now, but we will be in the future. We'll be one family sooner or later, why are you being so polite with me? Just tell me how much money you need, even if I have to smash the pots and sell the iron, I can't let Auntie go without medicine."

Jin Lian said embarrassedly: "I'm planning to buy half a month's worth of medicine, about ten yuan."

Sha Zhhu immediately took three yuan out of his pocket: "Jin Lian, take these three yuan first to buy medicine, I'll give you the rest tomorrow."

Jin Lian took the money and said softly: "Brother He, you are so good."

Sha Zhhu scratched the back of his head and laughed honestly: "This is what I should do."

The two arrived at the large courtyard where Jin Lian lived, and Jin Lian said with some difficulty:

"Brother He, my brother is at home, so I won't invite you in to sit."

"Are you angry? I know my brother has a bad temper, I'll definitely make him change in the future."
