Li Weidong returned to the house, and Yu Li had already brought all the food.

"What's wrong with Brother Wei Dong? Why do you keep laughing there all the time? ”

"It's okay, it's just that the family in our compound is getting married." Li Weidong said with a smile.

When Yu Li heard this, she was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth.

"Jia Zhang's is getting married, you're not kidding, are you?"

However, before hearing Li Weidong's answer, Yu Li smiled herself: "In fact, people like parents and teachers can understand anything unexpected they do." ”

Li Weidong didn't care about Jia Zhang's affairs, and after eating, he asked about yoga.

Yu's mother and Yu Li's father are relatively healthy, so there is no need to worry.

The most unrelieved thing for Yu Li is Yu Haitang.

"This time, my mother asked the matchmaker to tell Yu Haitang about a family matter, the male comrade is the deputy chief of the security department of the machine repair factory, and his parents are leaders, and the conditions are very good. It stands to reason that Yu Haitang should be very satisfied, but after she met with the gay man, she stopped paying attention to others.

Yesterday, the gay man also asked someone to hand me flowers, wanting me to persuade Yu Haitang. ”

Yu Li's tone was full of dissatisfaction with Begonia.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that although Yu Haitang is the announcer of the broadcast studio of the Propaganda Department of Chagang Plant, he is not a cadre.

Even in this era when the status of a worker is the highest, having the status of a cadre is still admired by others.

"Brother Wei Dong, tell me, is Yu Haitang too much, she is a little worker, who do you want to marry, big leader?"

Yu Li said angrily.

She estimated that she really had this kind of thought, Li Weidong slandered in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.

Yu Haitang's affairs are too messy.

Just when Li Weidong was worried about Yu Haitang's affairs, a family meeting was also held in the Jia family's house.

The participants were Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu, Huang Yanling, Xiaohuaihua and Xiaodang.

The topic of discussion is, of course, Jia Zhang's marriage.

Qin Huairu suggested that according to the old rules, if Zhang Dafa wanted to marry Jia Zhang, he had to go through all the rules.

We must look at each other first, and then give a bride price, so that the Jia family can marry off the Jia Zhang family.

Jia Zhang's eyes widened suddenly, but after hearing Qin Huairu's words, his eyes widened suddenly.

"Qin Huairu, you are simply wishful thinking, I am so old, you still want people to give a bride price, what do you think, if you let others know, they will definitely laugh at you, laugh at me, laugh at our whole family."

In Jia Zhang's view, Qin Huairu was greedy for money, so he proposed a bride price.

She is different from those girls in later generations, those girls are fools, they sold themselves, exchanged them for a bride price, and then lived a hard life with their husbands after marriage.

Jia Zhang's family won't be so stupid!

Qin Huairu faced the angry Jia Zhang, and just smiled faintly and said, "Mother, are you stupid!" ”

"Am I stupid?" Jia Zhang frowned.

Qin Huairu picked up the enamel jar, took a sip of tea, and changed his breath before he continued: "Mother, do you want to marry Zhang Dafa, if you don't want a bride price, will Zhang Dafa look down on you?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Zhang was stunned, she really hadn't thought about this problem.

It's just that there seems to be such a saying in the countryside, if a woman marries someone without a bride price, it is to marry someone on the pole, and she will be looked down upon by her in-laws in the future, and she will be considered to be unaware of her preciousness.

You are no longer valuable, can people still look up to you?

"However, I'm in my fifties, is it really appropriate to ask for a bride price?" Unconsciously, Jia Zhang's tone weakened a little.

Qin Huairu said coldly: "Mother, you are indeed old, but no one has stipulated that an older woman can't ask for a bride price?" In our countryside, only those women with big bellies who marry or marry with broken shoes don't want a bride price, right? ”

"No, absolutely not! Although I, Jia Zhang, am old, I have always been as guarded as jade, and since Lao Jia passed away, I have never had a good time with other men. When Jia Zhang said these words, he straightened his chest and felt a little proud.

She thought about it carefully, it was really like this, and she was not that kind of bad person, so why couldn't she ask for a bride price?

It's just that Jia Zhang's is not a fool, so he is naturally unwilling to give all the bride price to Qin Huairu.

She folded her hands and said, "Qin Huairu, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, I know your purpose, but if you want me to give you the bride price, it's impossible." ”

"Mother, how can you look at me like this! I am now a master of the courtyard, and I am also the leader of the group in the workshop, and my thinking is extremely advanced, how can I covet your little dowry! Qin Huairu's eyes rolled and said: "It's just that, mother, you have to think clearly, I am your maiden family, if you marry Zhang Dafa's family, we will be your maiden family." ”

Qin Huairu's words are not wrong at all, since Jia Zhang's family left Zhangjiazhuang, because he looked down on those poor relatives, he cut off contact with his family.

Those relatives in her Zhangjiazhuang originally thought that Jia Zhang's family had married into the capital and could entrust her to do something in the future.

This kind of thinking is human nature, and after being rejected by Jia Zhang's several times, they also understood that Jia Zhang's is the kind of white-eyed wolf who will never help them.

Since then, they have lost contact with each other.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Huairu is the maiden family of Jia Zhang's family.

Jia Zhang thought about it, but she was still unwilling.

Qin Huairu continued: "Of course, this time the bride price you want to receive will be given to me nominally, and I will give you half of it when the time comes." ’

"Half? No, I want to take eighty percent, you can only take twenty percent! Jia Zhang waved his hand again and again.

"Four-six, you're six, I'm four." Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhang's still refused, and hurriedly said, "If it was less, I wouldn't help you with this!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Zhang's knew very well that without Qin Huairu's cooperation, this matter would definitely not be done, after all, the bride price was all asked for by the mother's family, where was the new daughter-in-law herself.

"Okay, but how much bride price are you going to want?" Jia Zhang also felt a little curious about how much he could sell for a good price.

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Mother, I think that with your appearance, your board can be sold for at least ten yuan." ”

Qin Huairu didn't say a word, that is, Jia Zhang's nearly two hundred catties, if all of them were replaced with pork, they could be sold for at least three or four hundred yuan.

Jia Zhang felt that his price seemed to be a little low.

"Now the bride price of those little girls is usually ten yuan, but I have lived so old and have so many life experiences, am I not as good as that little girl? Impossible, absolutely impossible! ”

"Look at me, how good the soles of my shoes are, and I can sweep the floor, and I can do the laundry, and I can."

The more Jia Zhang spoke, the more energetic he became, and Xiao Huaihua reminded beside him: "Grandma, I haven't seen you sweep the floor." ”

"What do you kid know!" Qin Huairu glared at Xiao Huaihua, and said in a cold voice: "At this time, you must pick up the good ones, just like the cabbage sellers, everyone says that their cabbage is watery, and who cares that there are rotten cabbage leaves inside!"

Besides, sweeping the floor, cooking, washing clothes, as long as we don't talk about it, who knows. ”

Xiaohuahua shrunk her neck and was silent, but she still felt that it was not good to deceive.

Qin Huairu patted Jia Zhang's shoulder: "Mother, don't worry, I won't take your bride price money in vain, and I will personally go to Zhang Dafa's house tomorrow." ”

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up, she still trusted Qin Huairu's ability, as long as Qin Huairu came forward, Zhang Dafa would definitely have to spend a lot of dowry.

The next day is a rest day.

Qin Huairu got up early in the morning, and after cooking the meal, she cleaned it up and walked out of the house with a canvas bag.

As soon as I went out, I met three mothers washing clothes by the pool.

When the three mothers saw Qin Huairu cleaning up so cleanly, they suddenly came to their senses.

She put down her wet clothes, came up, and asked with a smile: "Huairu, what are you going to do today, are you going to Jia Zhang's target's house?" ”

Qin Huairu didn't want to deal with the three mothers, but when she saw that the residents next to her were all around, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, the three mothers, you really guessed what happened this time." My mother, Jia Zhang, talked about a partner silently, and our juniors have no bottom in their hearts, if she is deceived, then the matter will be troublesome, don't we have to check it well! ”

Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter around.

"What? Qin Huairu is about to get married, Qin Huairu is going to check, how does this matter sound a little wrong! ”

"Yes, everyone else is a daughter to marry, and the mother is not at ease, so she tries her best to inquire about the man's conditions, why did it fall out of the Jia family's turn."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, Jia Zhang's family is now Qin Huairu's relative, can't Qin Huairu worry about her."

"Yes, yes, although Jia Zhang is in his fifties, after all, he is a woman, you should also know that when a woman talks about someone, her brain is easy to get dizzy. Isn't Qin Huairu allowed to go out in person? ”

"I think Qin Huairu is quite responsible, and she is a good daughter-in-law who is filial."

Qin Huairu heard that the opinions of the residents were not unanimous, but instead of being angry, the corners of her mouth curled up with excitement.

That's what she wants, as long as someone is on her side, and even if the bride price is asked for at that time, the residents can't say anything.

Who made her Jia Zhang's maiden family!

Because Zhang Dafa's family lived far away, Qin Huairu also generously rented a bicycle at the third master's house.

After getting on her bike, she galloped all the way to the lumber mill compound.

It was the morning, and a group of old women and daughters-in-law were sitting at the door of the lumber mill compound.

Qin Huairu's eyes rolled and he pushed the bicycle and walked over.

After she tied up her bicycle, she said politely: "Hello, ladies and gentlemen." ”

I have to say that Qin Huairu is still very good at acting, and her current appearance looks like an honest little daughter-in-law, and she instantly won the love of those big ladies.

Several eldest ladies stopped chatting, stood up in unison, looked at Qin Huairu and said, "This girl, who are you looking for, hurry up and tell the eldest lady, and the eldest lady will help you show the way." ”

"Auntie, you are really a good person, looking at your spirit, you will definitely be able to live a long life." Qin Huairu slapped a rainbow fart out, and the mouths of those big ladies couldn't close.

She then continued: "I want to know, where does Zhang Dafa's family in your compound live?" ”

"It's in the backyard, you go inside along the road, go through the crescent door, turn left next to the second crescent door, and you can see it." After the eldest lady finished speaking, she looked Qin Huairu up and down, and her expression suddenly became vigilant.

Generally speaking, it is very common for residents to have guests in their homes.

But Zhang Dafa's situation is different, because he thinks he is still that member, he rarely interacts with people on weekdays, and his personality is relatively withdrawn.

Since moving to the compound, for so many years, no one has ever come to Zhang Dafa's door.

Moreover, this time it was a beautiful little daughter-in-law.

Although Qin Huairu is now in her thirties and is the mother of three children, she is convex and backward, the drum is drummed where it should be, and the place where it should be round is round, which is no different from ordinary little girls. Such a girl can't be deceived by Zhang Dafa, right?

Seeing that Qin Huairu was leaving, the eldest lady grabbed Qin Huairu's arm and whispered, "Girl, let me tell you, that Zhang Dafa has a very bad character." ”

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt a little inexplicable.

She also likes to gossip about others behind her back, but generally speaking, even if she wants to gossip, she will not be so upright and will not directly say bad things about others.

In that case, it's easy to get beaten.

She said perfunctorily: "This shouldn't be possible, I've heard that Zhang Dafa is a retired old worker with a good personality." ”

The eldest lady saw that Qin Huairu didn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "Don't you know, this guy is too stingy, last time my son got married, he wanted to hold a banquet, everything was purchased, and he was short of five catties of meat tickets. You talk about this kind of person, seeing that the neighbor is in trouble and doesn't help, he is not a bad character, besides, we are just borrowing meat tickets, and it is not that we will not pay it back. ”

Hearing this, Qin Huairu understood, the eldest lady in front of her was almost the same as Jia Zhang's, if anyone didn't let her take advantage, she would say bad things about others.

"Yes, that Dafa really shouldn't be, they are all neighbors in the compound, and it's nothing to help." Qin Huairu said a perfunctory word, and was ready to continue walking inside.

The lady felt that Qin Huairu and Zhang Dafa had an unusual relationship, so she ran up again and grabbed the back frame of Qin Huairu's bicycle: "This comrade, there is one more thing I want to tell you, Zhang Dafa is a wife." ”

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's face became serious, Zhang Dafa didn't get along well with her neighbors, and she didn't care at all.

The key is that Jia Zhang's family is going to marry Zhang Dafa.

Qin Huairu frowned and asked, "Auntie, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, if you let Zhang Dafa know, it may cause big trouble, you are all neighbors in the compound, and it is really inappropriate to talk about the rights and wrongs of others behind your back." ’
