Inside the lumber mill compound.

When the eldest lady saw that Qin Huairu was disobedient, she suddenly became a little anxious.

She took Qin Huairu's arm and said, "A female comrade." You must not have a relationship with Zhang Dafa. ”

Qin Huairu was a little puzzled when she heard it, but she also understood.

This lady must be trying to destroy Zhang Dafa's good deeds.

Qin Huairu didn't refute, she wanted to see what this lady wanted to say?

Qin Huairu saw the eldest lady and said, "Auntie, don't worry. What's the word? You can also say it slowly. ”

The lady smiled and said, "You probably don't know yet. Zhang Dafa had already married two daughters-in-law, and all of them were killed by him.

The people in the compound said that whoever wants to follow him will definitely not end well, girl, I see that you are still young. Don't be confused. ”

Hearing the eldest mother's words, Qin Huairu was not worried, but became excited.

This time it was Jia Zhang's marriage, what does it have to do with her, besides, she can use this matter to pinch Zhang Dafa.

Don't look at Qin Huairu's self-confidence when discussing the bride price with Jia Zhang's family.

But she also knows very well that people of Jia Zhang's age may not agree to the bride price if they want a bride price, and may even scold her.

Now that Zhang Dafa has the handle, this matter is much easier.

Qin Huairu looked at the eldest lady and said, "Auntie, you may have misunderstood. I'm not the target of Zhang Dafa, I'm here to propose marriage for him. I'm a member of his subject's family. ”

Hearing this, not only the lady was a little confused.

The residents who were watching the excitement next to them were also shocked and couldn't close their mouths.

"No, this girl looks like she's only twenty or thirty years old at most. Even if she had a daughter, she was only in her seventies or eights. I haven't reached the age of marriage at all. “

"yes, yes. It's so weird, we'll have to ask about it. “

"Now that it has been liberated, there are requirements for the age of marriage, and we must not let these people mess around."

Hearing the discussion of the crowd, the eldest lady stepped forward and blocked Qin Huairu's way and asked, "This girl, you have to explain things clearly today, otherwise, I really can't let you go."

was blocked by this eldest lady, Qin Huairu was not only angry, but the corners of her mouth also smiled slightly.

Her purpose was to get the attention of the residents.

So that the marriage of Jia Zhang and Zhang Dafa can be troubled, and then Zhang Dafa can be put under pressure.

Qin Huairu explained with a smile: "This eldest lady. You're mistaken again. The real thing is like this, I came this time to see Zhang Dafa for my in-laws. “

"Your in-laws?" The lady couldn't help but gasp.

She has lived so old and seen a lot of things, but she has never seen it, and she saw it first for her in-laws.

It's just that the eldest lady wanted to refute Qin Huairu, but she couldn't find any reason.

The reason is simple.

Qin Huairu didn't seem to have made any mistakes, after all, no one had a rule and couldn't look at each other for her in-laws.

The most critical problem is that this little daughter-in-law seems to be very filial.

But in the end, she couldn't help but ask: "This comrade." How old are your in-laws this year? “

"I'm over fifty years old, and I just match Zhang Dafa." Qin Huairu said with a smile: "You may not know yet, my in-laws and Zhang Dafa are childhood sweethearts.

Later, because of various relationships, the two were not able to get married, and now my in-laws are widowed, and Zhang Dafa is not married, and the two of them decided to be together after they met.

This kind of thing sounds very embarrassing, and it is difficult for juniors like us to be face-saving, but when I think about it carefully, it is a good thing for my in-laws.

She's old, and she really should have a man to take care of him.

Aren't we juniors supposed to make the elderly happy? “

I have to say that Qin Huairu has some real skills.

Just a few words, he showed his filial piety to the fullest.

Those onlookers, even if they didn't approve of this kind of marriage, they had to praise Qin Huairu's filial piety.

The eldest lady took Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Good girl, you are really a good boy who is filial." Rest assured, we've got your back. Let's go, now I'll personally send you to Zhang Dafa's house. “

As she spoke, the eldest lady took Qin Huairu's hand and walked towards Zhang Dafa's house.

On the way, Qin Huairu also talked about the main purpose of his visit this time, that is, to receive a bride price.

The lady was dumbfounded when she heard this, Jia Zhang's is old, and she even wants a bride price, which is simply ridiculous.

It's just that she didn't refute Qin Huairu, but expressed her support for this matter.

The reason is very simple, in the eyes of that lady, Zhang Dafa is not a good thing, for so many years, as a retired old worker, he has a salary of more than 40 yuan per month, where can he spend it alone?

But Zhang Dafa never thought of giving the money to the residents.

It's time for such a door-picking man to make him bleed.

"Don't worry, girl. This matter is supported by the eldest lady. Although Jia Zhang is an old woman, he also wants to marry after all. We're going to have to follow the old rules. “

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Auntie, you are really a good person, don't worry, when the marriage of the two of them is confirmed, I will definitely buy a big bag of candy to give to you, so that the big guy will be happy."

Hearing this, the eldest lady immediately burst into laughter.

Zhang Dafa will definitely not give them candy when he gets married, so it is better to stand on the side of this little girl.

The eldest lady told Qin Huairu at that time that if Qin Huairu encountered difficulties, she could go to her at any time.

"My surname is Liu, and I live in the east room of the middle courtyard, you can call me Aunt Liu, if Zhang Dafa dares to grin with you, you can go to me."

"Oh, thank you so much, Aunt Liu."

The two had already come to Zhang Dafa's door while talking.

After Qin Huairu expressed her gratitude to Aunt Liu.

knocked on Zhang Dafa's door.

At this time, Zhang Dafa hadn't gotten up yet, and was slightly stunned when he heard the knock on the door, so he put on his clothes and walked out and opened the door.

Seeing Qin Huairu standing outside, Zhang Dafa asked with some curiosity, "Who are you looking for this girl?" Is it the wrong way? “

Qin Huairu looked Zhang Dafa up and down.

Don't say it.

Although Zhang Dafa is 50 years old, because he has been working in the factory all the year round, he does not work with his back to the loess like those members.

So he looks extraordinarily young.

Although his hair has turned a little gray, he still looks quite energetic, and he is completely worthy of Jia Zhang's family.

Qin Huairu stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you may not know me, let me introduce myself first." My name is Qin Huairu, and I am the daughter-in-law of Jia Zhang. “

Hearing this, Zhang Dafa was taken aback.

He also thought that Qin Huairu was here to trouble him.

Jokes aside, in these days, children are always opposed to their parents' remarriage.

In their opinion, it is an extremely shameful thing for their parents to marry someone else.

Zhang Dafa hurriedly said: "Comrade Qin Huairu, you may have misunderstood, I have nothing to do with your in-laws, we are fellow countrymen." By chance, we met again, so we just had a good conversation.

Your in-laws often come to visit me, and we don't have anything to do with each other. “

When Qin Huairu saw Zhang Dafa like this, he immediately understood what he was thinking, and said unhurriedly: "Uncle Zhang, you may have misunderstood, just last night, Jia Zhang had already told me everything about you."

"How could she be like that? Didn't we already say that we should keep this matter secret and not tell anyone?

We're all getting old, and if this kind of thing gets spread, won't it make others laugh? Zhang Dafa was startled, rubbed his hair and said.

Qin Huairu said: "Uncle Zhang, you really misunderstood. Our whole family is supportive of your marriage. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dafa's mouth couldn't close.

"Your whole family actually supports you, no kidding, right?"

Qin Huairu explained with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you may also know. My father-in-law died relatively early, at that time, my in-laws pulled my husband up with a handful of and urine, he was really not easy, he worked hard for half a lifetime, she has finally found true love now, and those of us who are juniors should support her.

How can we pull him back from behind? ”

Seeing that Qin Huairu's attitude was very sincere, Zhang Dafa believed Qin Huairu's words.

"Come on, come on, Comrade Qin Huaishu, hurry up and go into the house and sit down." Zhang Dafa hurriedly let Qin Huairu into the house.

He picked up the thermos and poured a jar of tea for Qin Huairu, and then put tea leaves in it and brought it over.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, are you thirsty? Drink water. ”

Qin Huairu took the enamel jar and took a sip of tea, and then took the opportunity to look at the furnishings in the house.

Zhang Dafa's family is not particularly wealthy.

But it is much better than Jia's house, with all kinds of furniture in the house, and there is also a radio.

Qin Huairu had a score in his heart, and after taking a few sips of tea, he looked at Zhang Dafa and said, "Uncle Zhang." It stands to reason that Jia Zhang's family is my elder and this kind of thing should not be taken care of by me, but you also know that he is now my relative, if I don't care, then this marriage will become a joke. ”

Although this sentence sounded very strange, Zhang Dafa found that he had no way to refute it, so he could only nod and say: "Comrade Qin Huairu, you are right, you are a relative of the Jia Zhang family, so you should naturally take care of things." But what are you doing today? ”

"Look at what you said, the two of you are going to get married, and we, as relatives, should naturally come to your house to have a look. I can't just be blind and don't know anything, so I'll send Jia Zhang's family to your house. ”

"That's too."

Zhang Dafa didn't think much about it when he heard this.

After all, it is normal for men and women to see each other in advance when they get married in this year.

Qin Huairu continued: "Of course, the two of you are not young, and you can't be like those little girls, you have to start everything all over again.

It's just that there should be no less things to do, and in that case, wouldn't it make people laugh at our family for not knowing the rules? ”

"That's what you're talking about." Zhang Dafa instinctively felt that something was wrong, and moved his body back.

Qin Huairu continued: "You see that although my in-laws are old, they are very capable, and every day at home, all the housework of our family is done by my in-laws, which is much better than the current little girl."

You also know that today's little girls are pampered and brought up, not to mention doing housework, they can't even sew clothes, and my in-laws can also accept the soles of shoes.

After you marry my in-laws, wait for the blessings. ”

Qin Huairu praised Jia Zhang's like a flower.

Zhang Dafa knows the details of Jia Zhang's family.

Just laughing there and not answering, he always felt that Qin Huairu was not good at coming today.

Sure enough, Qin Huairu said a lot of rambling, and then said in a changed voice: "My in-laws are going to marry you, how much do you think it is more appropriate to pay the bride price?" ”

This sentence was like a stick, and it directly knocked Zhang Dafa unconscious.

"What kind of bride price?"

"Hey, are you going to pretend to be confused? My in-laws marry you, don't you want to pay a bride price?

Now even if it is the poorest in the countryside, people still have to pay a bride price.

Besides, my in-laws are much better than those little girls in the countryside, she has lived in the city for decades, and she is from the city.

And he can speak well, take care of housework, and take care of people, and he will definitely take good care of you when you are old.

Do you want to pick up such a good daughter-in-law for nothing? Uncle Zhang, you can't be like this. ”

Qin Huairu crackled a lot again, leaving Zhang Dafa speechless.

Qin Huairu then continued: "Uncle Zhang. Our family is not the kind of unreasonable, and will not hurt the harmony of the two families for a little bride price, you see. You will give our family a total of twenty yuan in bride price, and I will marry Jia Zhang's family to you. ”

Twenty bucks.

Zhang Dafa's face changed suddenly.

He felt that this Qin Huairu was treating him as a mallet.

In this year, the little girl in the city only needs a bride price of ten yuan to get married, and as for the rural area, it is cheaper to get a few catties of grain.

Zhang Dafa frowned and said, "Qin Huairu." It's too much for you to ask for a bride price of 20 dollars. Jia Zhang is in her fifties, and she has not yet worked. ”

Qin Huairu said unhurriedly: "Uncle Zhang, this is your mistake. I only saw Jia Zhang's shortcomings, but did not see his advantages.

That's right, Jia Zhang is indeed in his fifties, and he is relatively old. But you should understand that the older man is a servant and has a lot of experience.

has lived for most of his life, and Jia Zhang's has never encountered anything.

Besides, after the old Jia died, Jia Zhang's ability to support this family is enough to see his ability.

Such a capable woman, you only need to spend twenty yuan as a bride price to marry her back. You've picked up a big bargain. ”

Listening to Qin Huairu's crooked reasoning, Zhang Dafa couldn't cry or laugh.

Of course, he didn't give in, but made the appearance of sending off a guest.
