There is only one shift tonight.
Because I am going on a business trip to the field today, it is expected that from today to the 12th of this month, I can only guarantee one shift per day. If you have time, there will be two more. I owe you an update, and when I come back on the 13th, I'll make it up to everyone. How much you owe, how much you make up.
So what's going on with Xiaohu and this woman named Xiaojuan? And who is the long-faced young man named Ding Changgen who was caught by Bao Feiyang as a shield in his hand?
Although it is a bit long to say, it is impossible not to explain.
It turned out that the woman's full name was Qian Manjuan, Xiaohu's high school classmate, and Xiaohu's first love. Don't look at Xiaohu is now an engineer in the Chief Engineer's Office of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, but ten years ago, Xiaohu was still a poor farmer's child and had just been admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University for undergraduate. Although he and Qian Manjuan are truly in love with each other, Qian Manjuan's family looks down on Xiaohu, thinking that even if he is a college student, he is destined to have no future. Regarding Xiaohu's desire to chase his own girl Qian Manjuan, the Qian family did not say that they were clearly opposed, but just said that it was okay to marry my girl, as long as they could take out a bride price of 30,000 yuan, my girl would be yours, and you could wait until you wanted. But Xiaohu's family is poor, and even when he goes to college, he relies on the grants and subsidies provided by the school to barely maintain the minimum standard of living, so where can he go to give the Qian family the 30,000 yuan bride price? He told Qian Manjuan's parents that it was not impossible to ask for a bride price of 30,000 yuan, but could he delay it for a while, and wait for him to join the job after graduating from college. After saving a few years, I will definitely be able to make up the 30,000 dowry, and I will send it to Qian Manjuan's parents when the time comes. But Qian Manjuan's parents smiled coldly and said that when you come out of college, the daylilies will be cold!
It turned out that Qian Manjuan also had a big brother who was ten years older than her, and because the family was poor, she never talked about her daughter-in-law. It was easy to ask someone in the neighboring village to meet someone, and the other party put forward a condition that the Qian family would come up with a bride price of 30,000 yuan. Qian Manjuan's eldest brother was already thirty years old at this time, in the countryside at that time. Not married at the age of thirty. Basically, it belongs to the old bachelor, if it drags on for another year or two, you can only find a widow as a wife, and it is a dream to find a yellow flower girl. Therefore, Qian Manjuan's parents asked Xiao Hu to also come up with a bride price of 30,000 yuan. that they might take a wife for their sons.
Xiaohu can't get a bride price here. Qian Manjuan's parents no longer count on Xiaohu. Instead, he asked people everywhere to find a partner for his daughter Qian Manjuan, and the conditions were very simple, first. Able to come up with at least 30,000 yuan in a dowry; Second, the man must not have a history of marriage, nor can he be much older than Qian Manjuan. Although this condition is a little harsh in the countryside, it is not excessive, after all, Qian Manjuan looks like a flower and jade, and she is a famous beauty in the nearby ten miles and eight towns.
Looking back at this Ding Changgen, his hometown is not far from Qian Manjuan's village, because his father Ding Qun works in the Tianbei County Government, so the family has already gone to Tianbei County. Once Ding Changgen went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and when he passed by Qian Manjuan's village, it happened that Qian Manjuan fetched a basin of water to wash his hair by the well. So he asked someone to inquire, only to know that this girl was a girl from the old Qian family in the neighboring village, and the old Qian family was asking people to find a partner for her, on the condition that she wanted a bride price of 30,000 yuan, plus the man could not get married, and he could not make too much money.
Ding Changgen laughed out loud when he heard it, the conditions for this old Qian family couple to recruit a son-in-law are simply tailor-made for him Ding Changgen! The bride price of 30,000 yuan may be a bit much for an ordinary rural family, but for him Ding Changgen, it is nothing. His father is the director of the office of the Tianbei County Government, and he works in the Tianbei County Transportation Bureau, not to mention 30,000 yuan, even if he asks him to come up with 180,000 yuan, it is not a great thing. As for age, Ding Changgen is only twenty-four years old this year, although he is four years older than Qian Manjuan, but it is still within a reasonable age gap! Besides, Ding Changgen's face is very small, and the age of twenty-four looks about the same as that of twenty-year-old, and standing with Qian Manjuan is an absolute match.
So Ding Changgen told his father Ding Qun, Ding Qun is also very satisfied with his son's choice, he was born in the countryside, he prefers simple girls in the countryside, and is not interested in the bewitching women in the city, and he is afraid that his son will lead a fox into the door! At this time, I heard Ding Changgen say that he was looking for a girl from the countryside, and she was from the village next door to her hometown, so she naturally supported it vigorously, and personally brought a bride price of 40,000 yuan to take Ding Changgen back to her hometown to ask for marriage.
Qian Manjuan's parents saw the real 40,000 yuan bride price in front of them, and heard that Ding Qun is the big leader of the Tianbei County Government Office, although Ding Changgen is four years older than Qian Manjuan, but he has never been married, although his face is a little longer, but he looks very young, and he is a national cadre who eats imperial grain in the Tianbei County Transportation Bureau, such a good son-in-law is simply hard to find with a lantern, and the old Qian family can catch this relative, it is really a great virtue accumulated by the ancestors! So they didn't even ask for Qian Manjuan's opinion, and immediately agreed.
After Qian Manjuan found out, of course she wouldn't agree and quarreled with her parents. But her parents said that they had given the bride price out to her eldest brother to ask for a partner, and they couldn't return it at all, if Qian Manjuan didn't agree, the two of them would hang themselves on the spot, and said that Qian Manjuan was ruthless and watched her only eldest brother beat the bachelor. Qian Manjuan couldn't stand the noise of her parents, and she felt sorry for her eldest brother, so in desperation, as long as she tearfully agreed to this family affair and wrote a desperate letter to Xiaohu, she married in Tianbei County.
After Xiao Hu received Qian Manjuan's desperate letter, he was shocked, and when he rushed to Qian Manjuan's house, Qian Manjuan had already married. Xiaohu was sad and disappointed, so he had to bury this feeling in his heart, even if he graduated from college and was assigned to the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, he also became a national cadre who ate imperial food, but he never looked for a girlfriend again, and he still lived alone at the age of 30, so that there were some rumors in the Environmental Protection Department, saying that Xiaohu either had a physical problem or a mental problem. Fortunately, Xiaohu is very good at working in the field of environmental protection technology, and is an important technical backbone in the General Engineer's Office.
This time, Xiaohu came to Tianbei County as a member of the investigation team, and he actually had an expectation in his heart, hoping that he could meet his first love in Tianbei County. Of course, Xiaohu also knows that his expectations are funny and a little unreliable. Although Tianbei County is small, there are more than 100,000 people, even if Qian Manjuan is still in Tianbei County, the probability of meeting Qian Manjuan among more than 100,000 people is really not large. But even so, Xiao Hu still couldn't control the excitement in his heart, and instigated Xiao Zhang Xiaozhao and a few of their young people to go shopping on the street together, it was really a good idea, and finally when playing billiards in the billiards hall next to the Tianbei County Cinema, Xiao Hu really saw Qian Manjuan. I haven't seen her for ten years, Qian Manjuan is obviously a lot haggard, there is a bruise on her chin, and her eyes are full of tears when she sees Xiaohu. Xiao Hu knew that Qian Manjuan must have suffered a lot, but in the small county town of Tianbei County, at ten o'clock at night, there was no café and song hall to go to, and it was inappropriate to take Qian Manjuan back to the guest house to talk. Xiao Hu saw the video hall next to him, so he bought two video tickets, took Qian Manjuan in and sat in the back row, and wanted to ask Qian Manjuan how she has lived in the past ten years? What's the deal with the bruises on the face? But just when Qian Manjuan was crying to Xiaohu, the door of the video hall was suddenly kicked open, and Ding Changgen broke in with more than 30 subordinates! (To be continued......)
