If someone asked Qin Huai: "Did you show off today?"
Qin Huai would say without hesitation: "No, no, no, I am an upright person. Pretending to be cool is shameful to me."
Before meeting Maggie Cheung, Qin Huai always thought so about himself. His living environment was harsh and he had been working hard to survive, so how could he have such thoughts.
But after meeting Maggie Cheung, his outlook on life changed, a change that even he himself did not notice.
Yu Zhennan and Song Yu have known Qin Huai for some time, and today's Qin Huai is obviously different from usual.
He is reviewing the classic European and American film "Gone with the Wind"
He said: "Scarlett O'Hara is a real, complex, firm-minded woman who is constantly growing. She is inherently imperfect, with countless shortcomings but very few strengths. She only wants to live a good life for herself and those she loves. In times of crisis, the courage and strength in her blood will come into play in time."
Maggie Cheung said: "But why don't I like her? I think she is selfish, cunning and vain. To live a better life, she even abandons her morals and dignity, stepping on the hard work and tears of others to move forward. She is absolutely worthless."
"Failed love, tragic wars, life-and-death trials—all these experiences served as a test for Scarlett O'Hara. In the process, she constantly reflected on her own behavior and thoughts, constantly breaking through the shackles of her thoughts, and ultimately becoming an independent and free person. Independence and freedom are the most precious qualities of a woman."
“…”
The two of them were discussing animatedly. Song Yu brought two cups of coffee and said, "Let's take a break before discussing this again. We're both sweating from anxiety."
Qin Huai then realized what he was doing. Not only did his old face turn red, but he also thought that he was like a peacock spreading its tail tail, and in the eyes of Song Yu and Lao Yu, he didn't know how they would make fun of him in the future.
So he picked up the coffee and said inexplicably, "Sister-in-law, is there no sugar in the coffee?"
Song Yu said, "I may have forgotten. I'll get it for you later."
"No need, sister-in-law."
He actually wanted to say a cheesy love word to the girl: "Can you do me a favor?" "What favor?" "Can you smile?" "Why?" "Because I forgot to add sugar to my coffee."
But he would never say such words even if he was beaten to death.
Maggie Cheung said, "Chin Huai, you are amazing. When I watched this movie before, I never thought about understanding this character from a human perspective. Now that you put it this way, I feel that I was too superficial. You are indeed worthy of being the one who wrote such a timeless poem like 'A Generation'."
But Qin Huai was too embarrassed to continue the discussion, so he mumbled a few perfunctory words and prepared to talk to Yu Zhennan about the house.
However, Zhang Keyi said to him dissatisfiedly: "Qinhuai..."
Qin Huai only felt that his heart trembled with her, but he could not pretend anymore. In the eyes of Yu Zhennan and his wife, he was like a clown. After he left, he didn't know how the couple would make fun of him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. In the past, he never cared what others thought of him, but not in front of Maggie Cheung.
He forced himself to calm down and said, "Brother Yu, I came here today to talk to you about the house. Now that we can live in the village, I plan to move back."
Yu Zhennan said, "Why rush? We won't live in that house, so you can just stay there."
But Qin Huai said firmly: "No, I've troubled you for too long. I'll clean it up when I get back and give you the key when the time comes."
"You don't have to give it to me. You can go back. But you should keep the key. You may need it occasionally."
"Okay." He said goodbye to Yu Zhennan in a hurry.
Yu Zhennan looked at his figure and said, "Keke, I can conclude that people like Qin Huai have unlimited future prospects."
Maggie Cheung said: "I feel the same way. You said he has no education, but I think his knowledge is higher than many college students."
Song Yu glanced at her husband meaningfully.
But neither of them knew that the reason why Qin Huai was in a hurry to leave the Yu family was because he felt that he was not good enough at the moment. Although he was a reborn person, he could not accept the gap between him and Maggie Cheung. He needed to work harder.
Qin Huai returned home this time with great fanfare. He borrowed a small truck from Yu Zhennan, loaded all the useful equipment into the truck, and drove back to Qinjiazhuang.
Compared to the last time he came to Qinjiazhuang, he no longer had to go out to beg for food, and the people who had worked on the river had all returned. When they saw the car parked directly in front of his house, they gathered around to watch the fun.
Seeing Qin Huai coming down, and then seeing Old Man Qin and Qin Xiaoyun coming down, they all showed envy. Goudan ran over and asked, "Uncle Qin Huai, is this your car?"
Qin Huaishuo: "This belongs to my relative. I can't afford it."
He decided to continue using Yu Zhennan's name as a banner. The villagers had a deep-seated awe for powerful officials. With this protective umbrella, Qin Xiaoyun and her sister would have a much better life in the village.
"Can I go up and sit for a while?" Goudan asked expectantly.
Sister Hong stepped out of the crowd and said, "Don't let him get on. Don't let him damage the car."
Qin Huai said, "It's not that easy to break down." He held Goudan in his arms and sat in the driver's seat. Goudan looked at his friends under the car and felt very proud of himself.
After unloading the things from the car into the house, they heard that they were all sent by the newly adopted godparents, and they all envied Qin Huai's good fortune.
Qin Xiaoyun took out a bag of candy from the car and gave two to each child.
In rural areas, many families cannot even eat enough sugar in a year, and no one can give it to people as freely as Qin Huai.
At one time, almost all the children in the village rushed over after hearing the news. Qin Huai felt sad when he saw this. Six or seven children had died of famine, and everyone who came looked like a little mouse, skinny and bony. Although they could barely eat, two meals a day were just enough to keep them alive, and they could not gain weight at all.
Everyone in the village said that Qin Huai was lucky and generous.
Old Man Qin and several other elderly people replaced the stove that was knocked over by the grain-searching team with a new pot.
The original one was already half rotten.
The yard had been dug three feet deep, and Qin Huai and Hong Jie started filling the yard with soil.
The old men in the village sighed together and said, "What a sin! If we don't come back, this house will be abandoned."
Old man Qin said, "Qin Huai, there won't be any more grain-searching teams in the future, right?" The old man looked at the grain and felt very anxious.
Qin Huai said firmly: "Grandpa, don't worry, there will definitely not be another one."
After cleaning the house, they started to make a fire and cook. Qin Huai came to the door and saw smoke rising from every house in the village. Qinjiazhuang, which had been ravaged by famine, finally had people coming back.
Since someone was helping out today, Qin Huai invited everyone to stay at home for dinner.
Although there was no meat and everyone could only eat a few steamed buns, Qin Huai made sure they were full. Those who got to eat praised him for being as generous as before and not afraid of being eaten.
