Chapter VI Cooperative Relations
Because the eldest sister was too enthusiastic, Xu Shaoting stayed for lunch on the first day she came to the house.
Shen Qinglan didn't communicate much with him, almost all of them were the eldest sister communicating in the middle, and the most exciting person in this blind date was the eldest sister, and they both had a bit of a sense of resignation.
"Don't sit still and don't talk!" Shen Hongmei was embarrassed when the two of them were embarrassed, so she tried her best to create an opportunity, "You two go and get me a bottle of vinegar together, and eat dumplings at noon." ”
"Oh, got it." Shen Qinglan took the vinegar bottle and glanced at Xu Shaoting, the other party stood up quite tacitly, and took the initiative to lift the curtain and let her go out first.
Aunt Zhang was drying clothes in the courtyard, and when she saw Xu Shaoting coming out, she hid behind her clothes and looked at her, and when Shen Qinglan greeted her, she came out with a smile and asked, "What do you call the young man?" ”
"You're welcome." Xu Shaoting looked silent, and the words were answered very quickly, with a little humility that was neither humble nor arrogant, "The surname is Xu, you can just call me Shaoting." ”
Aunt Zhang's eyes are very picky, anyone can pick out three or two under her nose, but in the face of Xu Shaoting, she doesn't feel anything unpleasant when she looks horizontally and vertically.
If you weren't so poor, it would be better to be a son-in-law.
"It's Xiao Xu, hey, the young man looks so energetic!" Aunt Zhang greeted and praised, "Why are you going out?" ”
"Auntie, let's go out to buy vinegar and come to our house to eat dumplings at noon." Shen Qinglan took the conversation, otherwise Aunt Zhang might not have talked about when.
"Yo, that's not appropriate!" How could Aunt Zhang mix with other people's blind date banquets, and immediately refused, "I'm still stewed in this pot, you two go quickly." ”
Shen Qinglan didn't let it go again, and was discharged from the hospital one after the other with Xu Shaoting.
The neighbors in the alley were enthusiastic, and seeing the future sons-in-law of the Xu family greeting and asking, Shen Qinglan deliberately did not intervene, and observed Xu Shaoting's treatment of people.
Uncle Liu from the Hutongkou store lives in the courtyard next to Shen Qinglan's house, he is one of the few people in the Hutong who likes Shen Qinglan more than Shen Hongmei, and every time he sees her, he will give her a candy to eat.
"Hongmei, this is your future son-in-law?" Uncle Liu, like Aunt Zhang, cares about Qinglan's son-in-law's success, so he looks at him vigorously.
"I just met, uncle." Shen Qinglan handed the vinegar bottle to Uncle Liu, and glanced at Xu Shaoting, she is not rushing to get married and live, people may not be willing to cooperate with her, and it is indeed not good to say that she is a future son-in-law now.
Xu Shaoting also glanced at her, as if to explore the meaning of her words.
"You have to think about it for a lifetime." Uncle Liu scooped vinegar in a bucket with a wooden spoon and said, "Don't just pick on appearance, human duty is stronger than anything else." ”
"That's what you said." Shen Qinglan chatted and lowered her head to take out the money.
Xu Shaoting next to him took out two yuan and put it on the counter and said, "You can keep it." ”
Shen Qinglan was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Xu Shaoting to be quite generous.
Xu Shaoting's family is in difficulty, otherwise he would not let such a handsome eldest son be the son-in-law of others, it is estimated that he will bring the travel expenses with him when he comes to the city this time, and he will spend two yuan more, and the travel expenses will not be enough.
But Shen Qinglan didn't rush to give money, everyone has self-esteem and has to be respected.
Walking back with the vinegar bottle, Shen Qinglan handed Xu Shaoting a piece of sugar where there was no one, "Uncle Liu gave us just now, one piece for each person." ”
Xu Shaoting glanced at her again and took the candy, but he didn't open it.
"You're older than me, I'll call you Brother Shaoting." Shen Qinglan swallowed the sugar, tilted her head to look at Xu Shaoting, and said straight to the point, "I, like you, was forced to reluctantly agree to the marriage. ”
This time it was Xu Shaoting's accident, and he didn't know how to pick it up for a while.
Shen Qinglan took his reaction into her eyes, she really guessed correctly, a person like Xu Shaoting, if he was not forced to do so, would not be able to be someone's son-in-law. Since everyone is equally reluctant, it is convenient to cooperate.
"My dad can't work now, and I'm going to have to trouble you more in the future." Shen Qinglan nodded and said, "The experience you have learned is all yours, and you have no problem if you want to open a store alone." ”
Xu Shaoting immediately understood what she meant, this was to negotiate conditions with him.
Most of the people who can recruit sons-in-law have good conditions, and the Shen family is the most ordinary, and the reason why he agreed to the marriage of the Shen family is that he wants to learn the recipe of his family's braised cooking shop.
Of course, this is just a small calculation in his heart to make money, and it is not just for this to marry someone else's girl, it still depends on whether the two people get along, if the blind date is not suitable today, he will definitely not be reluctant.
But he really didn't expect that the girl was more purposeful than him, which obviously wanted to fake marriage with him.
After the accident, Xu Shaoting thought that this was not impossible, the girl just wanted to find a man who could help take care of her father's business, and he also wanted to learn from other people's methods, which just solved the problem of their marriage, the best of both worlds.
"Yes, no trouble." Xu Shaoting can be regarded as agreeing.
Shen Qinglan smiled and stuffed the two yuan into Xu Shaoting's hand, "Since the two of us are in a cooperative relationship, don't owe anything, I feel sorry." ”
Xu Shaoting held the two yuan and looked at the girl seriously.
Who said that the second daughter of the Shen family is stupid and stupid, and she is very smart.
After the marriage is decided, the next step is to prepare for the wedding, of course, the main thing is that Shen Hongmei needs to prepare.
In this era, getting married is very simple, if you don't have the conditions, you can get a certificate, simply hold a ceremony, get two cars if you have the conditions, set up a few tables, and recruit a son-in-law like Shen Qinglan to come to the door, and the connection ceremony can be saved.
Shen Hongmei is different, marrying into the compound, she has to do a big job, she has to buy new clothes and new bedding, add gold and silver jewelry and cosmetics, Shen Jun is afraid that her daughter will have no confidence in the compound, so she will use all the family savings to buy things for her.
But even so, Shen Hongmei still felt that she was not decent enough.
During dinner that day, Shen Hongmei casually mentioned: "Dad, I heard that Chen Zheng and his sister-in-law married a car when they got married. ”
When these words came out, there was silence at the dinner table for a moment.
Shen Qinglan silently nibbled on the steamed bun and didn't say a word. Shen Jun put down his chopsticks and curled up his left hand trembled.
"Hongmei, our family ......"
"Dad, that's what I thought." Shen Hongmei interrupted Shen Jun's words, and said with a smile, "The conditions of our family are here, and we can't compare with others, I know this in my heart, and it's good to be decent within the scope of my ability, but a family of concubines will inevitably be put together to talk about things, and if you talk too much, you will be despised by others." I thought, I took over our store, on the surface, I married me, but in fact, it is still our family, let Qinglan run it with her son-in-law, and when I get married and have money, I will expand the store again, so that the business will become bigger, and our family will be rich, right? ”
Before Shen Jun could react, Shen Qinglan had a reminiscence.
Shen Hongmei is thinking about taking the stewed cooking restaurant at home as her own.
