Chapter 456 Qin Jingru Enters the City

But Jia Zhang came out just to get a free meal, so she didn't care what Lou Zhenhua said.
At this time, He Qing, who had been held by Lou Xiao'e's hand, saw Huaihua coming out behind Jia Zhangshi, and quickly broke free from her mother's hand and ran over.

"Sister Huaihua, you're here. I said I'd come to see you after my dad and I bought some firecrackers."

When Huaihua heard He Qing talking about buying small firecrackers, she looked at He Qing again and again with eagerness.

"Qingqing, did you and Uncle Zhuzi buy any firecrackers?
Why didn’t I see it?”

"No, my dad and I just ran into grandpa when we went out, and then we came back with grandpa. Dad said we would go buy some firecrackers later, so would you come with us then?"

"Okay, okay, I really want to set off firecrackers, but I'm afraid. I'll ask Uncle Zhuzi to set them off for us to watch."

"Uh-huh."

After saying that, He Qing took Huaihua's hand and ran to He Yuzhu, looking up at him.
"Dad, dad, now that mom has seen grandpa, can you take us to buy some firecrackers? I can't wait."

Seeing his daughter looking at him with her big watery eyes, He Yuzhu looked at Lou Zhenhua, who was talking to many neighbors in the courtyard and was unable to get away for a while.
Then he looked down at He Qing and nodded.

"Okay, Dad will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some small firecrackers."

After saying that, he called He Ying, who had been watching from the side and couldn't squeeze in, over.
"I'm taking my sister out to buy some firecrackers. If grandpa and grandpa ask about it, please tell them for me. We'll be back in a while.

Also, you are not allowed to act naughty with your brother today, or your mother will beat you even in front of your grandpa.

Did you hear that? "

"I know, I know. My brother and I promise to behave ourselves. Dad, please take my sister with you. I will tell grandpa and grandpa when the time comes."

Seeing that his eldest son was still in shock, He Yuzhu said nothing more. He took He Qing's hand and walked out of the courtyard.

As soon as we turned out of the alley, he smiled and said,
"Qingqing, there are a lot of people outside, hold your sister Huaihua's hand, don't get lost, or you'll cry."

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Huaihua whispered back,

"I play outside with my sister every day. I know the alley very well. I know Uncle Zhuzi, who never cries."

Seeing Huaihua looking up at him proudly, He Yuzhu asked with a smile,
"Oh~, really?"

"Well, I didn't lie to you, Uncle Zhuzi."

Just as He Yuzhu was about to say something else, he heard a girl's voice coming from not far away.

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Huaihua? I'm so glad to see you. It's worth my while to come all the way here. It seems I've come to the right place.

Huaihua, why are you out here alone? Does your mother know?"

Following the sound, He Yuzhu and the other two saw Qin Jingru, who was dressed very simply, had two small braids, and was carrying a big bag.

To be honest, Qin Jingru was only 18 years old at that time. Except for her skin which was a little rough due to frequent farm work in the countryside, she looked very delicate and fair, not much worse than those girls in the city.

However, when He Yuzhu saw this little girl appear in front of him, he was actually a little confused.
You should know that since Jia Dongxu's death, Qin Huairu's relationship with her parents' home has become strained. Except for taking the children back home once a year during the Chinese New Year, she never goes back to her parents' home at other times.

Moreover, even if she returned to her parents' home, Qin Huairu would not stay in the countryside for long and would return to the city. She had no feelings for her brothers and sisters at all.

Now that Sha Zhu is not begging Qin Huairu to introduce him to a partner, He Yuzhu really doesn't understand why this little girl would appear in Beiping City. Could she be coming to the city to find a partner?

But it seems that this matter has nothing to do with me.

The only person older than Qin Jingru in the He family is Li Qingshan. However, as the only son of the Li family, Li Qingshan got married last year at the urging of the White Widow, so it is impossible for him to have any relationship with Qin Jingru.

Thinking back to the time when he had never met Qin Jingru before, he lowered his head and looked at Xiao Huaihua and asked,
"Huaihua, this female comrade said she is your aunt. Do you know this aunt?"

Huaihua is only 5 years old this year and has no memory at all. Naturally, she can't remember anything about Qin Jingru, whom she hasn't seen for a whole year.

"Uncle Zhuzi, Huaihua doesn't know this aunt."

Hearing that Huaihua really didn't remember Qin Jingru, He Yuzhu subconsciously wanted to see her reaction. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Qin Jingru put the bag in her hand on the ground, with her hands on her waist, looking at Xiao Huaihua angrily.
"Huaihua, I'm your aunt, how could you not recognize me? I hugged you during the Chinese New Year last year!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at He Yuzhu and said,
"Big brother, you are my sister's neighbor in the courtyard, right? My name is Qin Jingru, and I am Qin Huairu's younger sister. My father asked me to deliver something to my sister."

Although He Yuzhu knew Qin Jingru's identity,
But he didn't intend to pay attention to this woman who would turn against her once she achieved her goal.

"This female comrade,

Who you are has nothing to do with us. Huaihua said she doesn't know you, and I can't tell whether what you said is true or not.

If you are really Dongxu's sister-in-law's sister, then you can go to the courtyard to find her by yourself. If not, leave immediately. I am going to take my daughter and Huaihua to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Please don't block our way."

After saying that, He Yuzhu didn't care about Qin Jingru's reaction. He took the hands of the two girls and walked around her to the street.

Qin Jingru was left standing there alone, feeling extremely angry. After a while, she picked up her bag and walked towards the courtyard.

When they turned the corner and came to the street, He Qing looked at Huaihua curiously and asked,

"Sister Huaihua, is that auntie just now really your auntie?"

Hearing this, Huaihua shook her head blankly.

"I don't know. I haven't even seen her. How do I know if she is my aunt? Uncle Zhuzi, have you seen my aunt?"

Seeing Huaihua asking about him, He Yuzhu smiled and touched her little head.

"Okay, Huaihua, you and Qingqing, stop worrying about this. Is that auntie your aunt? We'll know after we buy some firecrackers and go back and ask your mother.

If she is your aunt, then say hello. If she is not your aunt, then forget it."

"Well, I'll listen to Uncle Zhuzi."

Just as Huaihua finished speaking, she heard a loud bang coming from the supply and marketing cooperative at the nearby intersection, followed by the cheers of a large group of children.

He Qing and Huaihua were naturally attracted by this familiar voice.

"Dad, dad, popcorn, popcorn, can you buy some popcorn for me and Sister Huaihua? It tastes crunchy and delicious."
