Chapter 14 On Marriage Partners

......

Zheng Qilin and Huzi returned to Zhengjia Village half an hour later, and Huzi sent Zheng Qilin to the door before leaving.

In the yard, her mother Qi Xiaolian was drying beans in the shade, and her father went to the orchard.

"Qi Lin, how is it today?

Qi Xiaolian was a little surprised.

"Well, the vegetable market was late, and it only sold a little, but I happened to know someone from a restaurant, so I sold the rest to the restaurant. In total, it sold for a little over a thousand. ”

Zheng Qilin sat on the small stool next to his mother and said.

"More than a thousand?"

Qi Xiaolian was stunned, a little shocked.

You must know that all their crops are sold in a year, which is only a few thousand yuan, plus other small incomes of 10,000 yuan. What is the concept of tomatoes that have only grown for two days and are sold for a thousand yuan?

It is important to know that the fruiting cycle of tomatoes can be maintained until the weather turns cold, which is four or five months.

It was at this time that my father walked in through the door with a shovel.

"Qi Lin, are you back?"

Zheng Dashan asked.

"Sold for a little over a thousand bucks. ”

Zheng Qilin replied.

"So much?"

Zheng Dashan's eyes also widened, a little incredulous.

"Qi Lin, how much do you sell for a pound?"

Zheng Dashan then asked.

"Three pieces of one pound in the front, three dollars of five pounds in the back. ”

Zheng Qilin replied.

"No wonder. These tomatoes are so expensive that people buy them......"

Mother Qi Xiaolian sighed.

"It is estimated that the tomatoes have not come up yet, and the greenhouses are just about to go down, so the market price is a little higher, and after a while, the tomatoes of various families have come up, and it is not so easy to sell. ”

Zheng Dashan analyzed.

"That's not necessarily, our tomatoes aren't ordinary tomatoes. ”

Mother Qi Xiaolian was a little proud.

"Well, my mother is right, even if the tomatoes come up, our family should be able to sell them at a good price. Dad, the money is for you. ”

Zheng Qilin took out a thousand yuan, stood up, walked over, and handed it to Zheng Dashan.

"What are you doing for Dad?"

Zheng Dashan refused.

"I still have some money, I don't need it for the time being, you can take it and see if there is anything to spend at home. ”

Zheng Qilin forcibly stuffed it into his father's clothes pocket, he knew that his father didn't have much money, and on the way back, he heard Huzi say that Zheng Xiaodong, a young man of the same age in the village, was about to marry a daughter-in-law, and the woman asked for a bride price of 200,000 yuan, and the man agreed. This Zheng Xiaodong's father Zheng Zhikuan and his father Zheng Dashan have always had a good relationship, which is equivalent to worshipping the brothers. I've been borrowing money for the past two days. As a good friend, my father will definitely find a way to borrow a little money from the family, but the family doesn't have much money for the time being.

"Take it for you, child. ”

Mother Qi Xiaolian spoke.

"That'...... All right. It just so happened that the Dongzi of your uncle's family married a daughter-in-law and asked for money, and Dad promised to lend 10,000 yuan. ”

Zheng Dashan was a little embarrassed.

"It's a good thing for Dongzi to marry a daughter-in-law, and you have a good relationship with Uncle Zhikuan, so you should borrow some points. ”

Zheng Qilin said.

"The woman's family asked for a bride price of 200,000 yuan, and your Uncle Zhikuan is not easy to make up this time. Alas, the income of farmers in our land has not increased in recent years, and the bride price has been getting higher and higher year by year......"

Zheng Dashan sighed.

"Qi Lin, you and Xiaoyu ...... What's going on?"

Mother Qi Xiaolian hesitated, but couldn't help but ask. His father, Zheng Dashan, also looked at him. Others need 200,000 yuan, so they can find a way to borrow some banks and re-lend points, which is almost enough. But Zheng Qilin's girlfriend Bai Yu is talking about, but if he wants to buy a house in Dong'an City, it is not a matter that can be solved by two or three hundred thousand.

"Mom, Dad...... Bai Yu and I are fine. ”

Zheng Qilin gritted his teeth and decided to tell his parents, recalling their relationship for four years in college, and the vicious words that Bai Yu pointed at him and scolded that day, his eyes instantly moistened.

“...... As soon as you came back, your mom and dad guessed something. Children, in fact, it's nothing, the current society pays attention to the right door, we can't climb high, so we won't climb, find the right door. ”

Qi Xiaolian comforted.

"Yes, look at Dongzi, the daughter-in-law introduced by the matchmaker is good, and Dad also saw the photo of the girl, which is very delicate. No, Dad asked the matchmaker to introduce you to one when the time comes. ”

Zheng Dashan said.

"Dashan, don't toss around, in case you want 200,000 yuan, where can we borrow it?" Qi Lin, I heard your Aunt Liu say that Xiangxiang came back from divorce and lived in the city, have you met?"

Qi Xiaolian glared at Zheng Dashan and then looked at Zheng Qilin.

"I met her in town on the way back with Huzi. ”

Zheng Qilin replied.

"Oh, that's good, Xiangxiang asked your Aunt Liu about you, and I was waiting for you there today, so you can usually contact more. ”

Qi Xiaolian's words had a little more meaning.

"Xiaolian, Xiangxiang has been divorced......

Zheng Dashan frowned, a little reluctant.

"Xiangxiang is what we watched grow up, you and I know what this child is. The main reason for two people to be together is to respect each other and live a steady and down-to-earth life, you look at the girls in the city who are talking about on TV, which one is not talking about several objects, living together without getting married, and changing another one after breaking up, what is the difference between marriage and divorce. I think Xiangxiang is very good. ”

"I don't promise...... No matter how Qi Lin said it, it was his first marriage, or he went to college and had a job in a big city, not to mention Xiangxiang's second marriage, and he didn't finish middle school......"

"Then you have the ability to buy a suite for your child in the provincial capital! Xiaoyu and Qi Lin have been together for four or five years, isn't it just because of a suite that the two of them are yellow?"

"It's that the child is already worshipping money, and there are many girls who don't want a house or a bride price. ”

Father Zheng Dashan and mother Qi Xiaolian said a word, and I said a word, and they quarreled with each other.

"Alright...... You two don't quarrel......"

Zheng Qilin's head hurt and said speechlessly.

"I'm going to the orchard. ”

Zheng Dashan put down the shovel and picked up the hoe.

"Dad, you just came back, let's go back after a while. ”

Zheng Qilin said.

"No need, your Uncle Zhikuan is waiting for me in the orchard. ”

Zheng Dashan walked out of the door.

"Hmph. ”

Mother Qi Xiaolian glared dissatisfiedly in the direction of Zheng Dashan's departure.

"Ahem...... Mom, I'm going to the old house. ”

Zheng Qilin said.

"What are you going to do?"

Qi Xiaolian asked curiously.

"Just go and see if I can make something over there. ”

Zheng Qilin said.

"Oh, be careful when crossing the river. ”

Qi Xiaolian advised.

"Hmm. ”

Zheng Qilin nodded.

"Woo Woo ......"

At this moment, a chubby puppy ran out of the door of its room, stared at the big black and bright eyes, and barked at Zheng Qilin.

"Ah, what did this little guy eat today, he ate so fat. ”

Zheng Qilin walked up to him with a smile and bent down to pick up the puppy.

"This little guy is so good at eating. After you left today, I fed it twice, each time it was a big bowl, and it was swallowed in less than a few minutes, and I guess I was hungry outside for a while. ”

Mother Qi Xiaolian said.

"Oh, I took it with me. ”

Zheng Qilin walked out of the gate with the puppy in his arms, and half an hour later, he came to the old house.

The first thing I did when I opened the door and entered the yard was to go to the old basin under the eaves of the utility room, lift the lid, and see what happened to the dozen centipedes yesterday.

The moment he unveiled it, he was stunned, and the puppy in his arms almost fell to the ground.

It's so shocking......

In the entire old basin, a large area of black pressure is full of centipedes, at least three or four hundred. The most important thing is that each centipede is about fifteen or sixteen centimeters, thick and long, and bright in color.
