Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"Ask everyone if what I said is true." Xu Damao shouted while dodging.

"Stop it."

Lin Shaowen stepped forward to stop Sha Zhu, turned his head and said to Xu Damao, "Old Xu, I have guests here."

"Okay, I'll give you a favor today." Xu Damao still didn't give up and said, "Sister Jingru, this Shazhu is not a good person. You have to be careful when talking to him..."

Seeing Xu Damao frantically testing the edge of death, Lin Shaowen couldn't help but slightly turn his body.

Bang!

Sha Zhu punched Xu Damao directly in the eye socket.

"what……"

Xu Damao covered his face and screamed.

"Xu Damao, I'm going to kill you."

Sha Zhu shouted loudly and immediately pounced towards Xu Damao.

Although Xu Damao doesn't know how to fight, he has a lot of experience in being beaten.

Seeing Sha Zhu rushing towards him, he ran out of the yard.

Seeing this, others immediately followed to watch the fun.

After a while, Xu Damao's wailing and Zhang Wan's angry cursing were heard from the courtyard.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Qin Kan asked curiously.

"We are all young people, used to making noise." Lin Shaowen smiled and waved his hands.

After a while, Sha Zhu came back with a sullen face and went to the kitchen without saying a word.

Half an hour later.

Five dishes and a soup that were delicious and tasty were placed on the table, and Qin Kan couldn't help but praise, "This chef's cooking skills are extraordinary. It looks like a dish from the Tan family..."

"Uncle, you have a good eye." Sha Zhu immediately perked up and boasted, "I'm not bragging, uncle, you can ask Lin Shaowen, our craftsmanship is unique in the city."

"Of course not. Chef He's official cuisine is the best in our steel mill."

Lin Shaowen took the two bottles of Moutai handed over by Lou Xiaoe, shook them gently, unfolded three cups and said, "Master He, you have worked hard today, how about we have a drink?"

"This...is a little inappropriate."

Sha Zhu's tone was controlled, but his feet did not move at all.

"We are all friends, there is nothing inappropriate about that." After filling up the glass, Lin Shaowen raised the glass and said to Qin Kan, "Brother, I toast you with the first glass. Thank you for taking care of me."

"No, I should respect you." Qin Kan said hurriedly, "I'm asking you for help again, and I want you to entertain me. I'm causing you trouble."

"We are all brothers, so it's okay if there is any trouble." Lin Shaowen raised his glass and clinked it with Sha Zhu, "Master He, you have worked hard today."

"It's just a small matter." Sha Zhu said happily.

"Sister Jingru, we are all family, so I won't take special care of you." Lin Shaowen stood up and poured the wine. "Eat as much as you can, don't be restrained."

"Well, thank you, Brother Lin." Qin Jingru said obediently.

She looked at the dishes in front of her and couldn't help swallowing.

This wasn't a festival, it was just to entertain her father, and there was no shortage of chicken, duck, fish or meat. The wine they brought out was actually Maotai, a wine she had only heard of but never seen before.

Seeing her staring at Maotai, Lin Shaowen couldn't help but smile and asked, "How old is Miss Jingru?"

"Nineteen." Qin Jingru said honestly.

"You are a grown-up girl now." Lin Shaowen praised her and turned his right hand, revealing a small cup. "Sister Jingru, do you want to try a cup?"

"Why are you drinking wine, girl?" Qin Kan said with a straight face.

Qin Jingru looked at the wine glass in Lin Shaowen's hand, then looked at her father who was very unhappy, and shook her head.

Lin Shaowen poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of her without caring. "Don't pay attention to this old man. This is my home."

Qin Jingru glanced at Qin Kan again, and only after seeing Qin Kan nodded slightly did she dare to pick up the wine glass and stammered, "Lin...Brother Lin, thank you for taking me in. I toast to you."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, which made Lou Xiao'e dumbfounded.

"Don't mind, sister-in-law." Qin Kan said with a cheerful smile, "This girl has been growing up with her grandfather since she was a child. Her grandfather likes to drink whenever he has time. When she grows up a little, her grandfather will invite her to drink with him..."

"Wow, what a heroine."

Sha Zhu's tone was extremely exaggerated, causing Qin Jingru to hide again.

Chapter 158 Let Lin Shaowen be the Matchmaker

Snowflakes were falling from the sky bit by bit. Although the pavilion had no shelter, the surrounding walls had weakened the cold wind a lot. There was also a large brazier under the table and strong liquor in the cups, so everyone didn't feel cold.

Qin Kan and Qin Jingru came in a hurry and had not eaten breakfast, so their appetites were a bit large. After a while, the dishes on the table began to run out.

Seeing this, Lin Shaowen couldn't help but wink at Lou Xiaoe, who immediately understood and walked towards the kitchen.

"Dad, eat less."

Qin Jingru pulled Qin Kan's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice.

Qin Kan took a look at the dishes on the table and felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Shaowen didn't even eat two bites, as most of the food was made by him and Qin Jingru.

He was about to speak, but suddenly he saw Lou Xiao'e coming over with a small basin and a rack and placing them on the table.

The steaming red soup made Qin Kan and Qin Jingru swallow their saliva again.

"Wow, hot pot." Sha Zhu's nose twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Lin Shaowen, this is a good ingredient. Which master crafted it..."

"A friend gave it to me." Lin Shaowen shrugged, put the lamb slices and cabbage handed to him by Lou Xiaoe on the table, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, brothers... drink it."

"Done."

Qin Kan and Qin Jingru also raised their glasses, feeling deeply moved.

In a short while, the two bottles of wine were finished.

Lin Shaowen, Qin Kan and Qin Jingru all had slightly red faces, but Sha Zhu had a flushed face and looked extremely excited.

"Lin Shaowen, Minister Lin...Tell me honestly, how does your brother treat you?"

"Not bad." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"You all have married and had children, and I am the only one left alone in the whole courtyard... I feel so sad." As Sha Zhu spoke, tears actually came to his eyes.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Shaowen asked with interest.

"This……"

Sha Zhu lowered his head shyly, glancing at Qin Jingru from time to time.

Qin Jingru immediately turned pale and hurriedly pulled at the corner of Qin Kan's clothes.

This was the first time for her to come to the old city at her age. After seeing the handsome Lin Shaowen and his life, her horizons suddenly broadened.

"Brother He, you and Brother Lin are brothers, so we are naturally brothers too. It's not appropriate to talk about the difference in generations." Qin Kan raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's clink glasses."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu was immediately discouraged. He listlessly raised his glass and clinked it with Qin Kan, then lay down on the table.

"Brother Lin, is...Master He okay?" Qin Kan said at a loss.

"It's okay." Lin Shaowen smiled and shouted to the door, "Yan Jiecheng..."

The voice just fell.

The door, which was originally half-closed, was immediately pushed open, and the three brothers Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiefang, who had been staying in the school, rushed in.

"Uncle Lin, please tell me what I want to do." Yan Jiecheng bowed and said with a smile.

"Go, get the stupid pillar back."

Lin Shaowen picked up the half-empty pack of cigarettes on the table and threw it to Yan Jiecheng.

"okay."

Yan Jiecheng took the cigarette steadily, put it in his pocket, and without saying a word, he and his two brothers supported Sha Zhu and walked out.

"Relieve the slump."

Lin Shaowen shouted again.

"Uncle Lin."

Yan Jiekuang immediately handed the person to Yan Jiefang and trotted over.

"Take this candy back and eat it."

Lin Shaowen grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Yan Jiekuang shouted happily, bowed in a very formal manner, and then ran away happily.

It’s not that Lin Shaowen had any special feelings for Yan Jiekuang, it’s just that he was the youngest and could only smoke secretly, so he gave him some candy.

"Brother, you have such a high seniority in this courtyard?" Qin Kan asked in surprise.

"He doesn't have any seniority." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "He was just teasing these guys..."

Then she told Qin Kan what had happened.

"Interesting, interesting, brother is really a wonderful person."

Qin Kan pointed at Lin Shaowen and laughed.

"Come, drink."

Lin Shaowen raised his glass.

Qin Jingru looked at Lin Shaowen, tilting her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The four of them ate from noon until evening, and finally Qin Kan couldn't hold it anymore and got drunk.

Qin Jingru took Lin Shaowen to send Qin Kan to the guesthouse. After wiping Qin Kan's face and feet, she gave some instructions to the uncles and aunts who lived with Qin Kan, and then followed Lin Shaowen back to the yard.

Siheyuan.

As soon as Lin Shaowen and Qin Jingru entered the yard, they were stopped by several people.

"Minister Lin, don't go, let's talk." The second aunt said with a smile.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e winking at him, Lin Shaowen couldn't help but push Qin Jingru to her, sat on the stool handed to him by Yan Jiecheng, and sat down next to the brazier.

"It's rare that Second Auntie has spoken up, so I have to give you some face." Lin Shaowen said happily.

"Minister Lin, would you like to introduce her?" The third aunt pointed at Qin Jingru and said with a smile.

"Qin Jingru, her father is the party secretary of Qinjia Village, and she came to the meeting with them." Lin Shaowen said casually.

"The Party Secretary of Qinjia Village?"

This is a plus. Even though everyone is poor now, the village party secretary has considerable power. If he meets someone with bad intentions, it is not a problem to fill his stomach with fat intestines.

Of course, workers and peasants are the mainstream now. If the truth is exposed, it will not be as simple as going to jail.

"Jingru, have you promised to marry someone?" Second Aunt asked straight to the point.

"No...no." Qin Jingru said with a red face.

"Do you want to marry and move to the city?" the third aunt also spoke up.

Qin Jingru looked at Lin Shaowen for help, and Lin Shaowen immediately understood and couldn't help but laugh, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you are so stupid, what's the point of asking her about this, how old is she?"

"That's true."

The second and third aunts suddenly understood.

Nowadays, marriages are still based on the opinions of parents and matchmakers. If Qin Jingru's father doesn't agree, it will be useless no matter how enthusiastic they are.

Jia Zhang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Qin Jingru? What is your relationship with that little whore Qin Huairu?"

When Qin Jingru heard what Jia Zhang said, her eyes widened and she said, "Old woman, watch your mouth... Qin Huairu is my cousin."

Most girls who grew up in the village are quite aggressive.

This is caused by the environment. Not all country men are simple and honest. If they are not a little bit aggressive, they will be bullied to death.
