"Qin Huairu, don't be kidding, what kind of person Jia Zhang's is, you should know better than me. The bride price is impossible, so go back now. ”

Hearing this, Qin Huairu was not in a hurry.

looked at Zhang Dafa coldly and said, "Zhang Dafa, I've heard that you have killed two daughters-in-law in a row. If my in-laws' family came over, maybe they would be killed by you, and in this case, you don't want to pay the bride price, do you still have a conscience? ”

Killing two daughters-in-law in a row is the biggest pain in Zhang Dafa's heart in his life.

He didn't expect Qin Huairu to know about this.

"But twenty dollars is too much for you. This is not in accordance with the rules at all, and if the street knew about it, they would not agree to it. ”

In these years, the street office has a lot of power, and they will take care of what they can manage, and they will also manage what they can't.

The neighborhood office also has the right to manage such a high bride price.

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Your worries are not wrong, the bride price of twenty yuan does seem to be a lot, but we have to analyze the specific things in detail."

My in-laws are 50 years old this year, can they be the same as those little girls?

Those little girls in their teens and twenties can ask for a bride price of ten yuan, and my in-laws are two or three times older than them, and they only need a bride price of twenty yuan. Is it much? ”

Qin Huairu's nonsense made Zhang Dafa difficult to parry.

However, he was an old experience, so he didn't directly agree to Qin Huairu, but stood up and said: "Qin Huairu's matter today is difficult for me to decide for a while, so let's let me think about it for a few days, and then let's talk about this matter." ”

Qin Huairu knew very well that once Zhang Dafa came to his senses, he would definitely not give the Jia family a dowry.

What are you kidding, people like Jia Zhang's give it to others, and others don't want it, where are they willing to spend money?

So Qin Huairu still didn't give up.

Qin Huairu walked to the door and shouted, "Oh, Uncle Zhang, why are you so bullying? Aren't my in-laws a little older? You didn't even give my family a bride price. Don't you look down on our family? ”

Qin Huairu's voice was loud.

The whole compound was alarmed, and those residents gathered around.

Of course, maybe they have been staring at Zhang Dafa for a long time.

After all, in this day and age, the people's customs are relatively conservative. There are not many things like Jia Zhang's who are still married at an age.

The leader is still that Aunt Liu.

I saw her running to the door of Zhang Dafa's house in three or two steps, her eyes widened, and she stared at Zhang Dafa and asked, "Zhang Dafa, I heard that you are getting married, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Dafa didn't expect that the residents in the compound would gather around.

suddenly became at a loss, and said hesitantly: "Auntie, this is my business, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

In Zhang Dafa's opinion, his relationship with the residents in the compound is not good.

The residents of the compound have no say in this kind of thing.

But in the eyes of those residents, Zhang Dafa is a member of the compound, so he should listen to them.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Dafa's words fell, those residents began to discuss.

"Zhang Dafa, what do you mean by that? . As a member of the compound, how can you get out of it? ”

"Yes, if you make a bad reputation, it will affect the residents in our compound."

"If others know and hear that you are from our compound, they will also look down on the people in our compound."

"Zhang Dafa has been liked by the residents of the compound for so many years, because your maverick behavior has damaged the reputation of our compound."

Zhang Dafa didn't expect that his words would cause collective opposition from the residents of the compound.

If only in the Hereafter.

Zhang Dafa could have just closed the door and ignored the group of people.

But in this year, the compound is a collective.

If Zhang Dafa really provokes the dissatisfaction of those residents.

Those residents can unite and find the neighborhood office.

At that time, Zhang Dafa will be criticized at the least, and if it is serious, he will be kicked out of the compound.

Zhang Dafa is now retired, and the house he lives in is a lumber mill house.

If he was kicked out of the compound, Zhang Dafa might have to sleep on the streets.

This kind of thing is not without precedent.

Zhang Wumao, who was in the compound last year, was kicked out in this way.

Speaking of which, Zhang Wumao's guy is actually not a bad person, it's just that his mouth is a little cheap, and he usually doesn't pay attention to unity.

Zhang Wumao has no serious job, wanders the streets all day, and only comes back at night on weekdays.

Originally, he and the residents of the compound were able to get along safely.

But just last year, the neighborhood was preparing to select civilized courtyards, requiring all the compounds in the neighborhood to be cleaned and cleaned.

Because there is no full-time person responsible for cleaning and sanitation in the miscellaneous hospital, the biggest headache is to do hygiene.

Therefore, it is stipulated in the compound that each family must clean their own homes and the sanitation at the door.

For this reason, many residents even took two days off to come back to do hygiene.

Zhang Wumao was also asked to clean up the sanitation in front of his house.

It's just that this kid doesn't even have a high hygiene in his house on weekdays, so he will follow the advice of the residents.

So instead of doing hygiene, he quarreled with the housekeeper in the compound.

This caused dissatisfaction among the residents.

Because in the eyes of the residents, Zhang Wumao did this because he didn't want the compound to get the title of civilized compound, and then they would lose five or six catties of pork.

You must know that in this year, if five or six catties of pork are salted in salt, it is enough to eat for half a year.

Therefore, the residents in the compound found the neighborhood office and asked the comrades of the neighborhood office to drive Zhang Wumao out.

In fact, the street office has long been dissatisfied with Zhang Wumao.

This kid wanders the streets all day, and although he doesn't make any big mistakes, he does make small mistakes.

In particular, he especially likes to stand on the street with a group of young people and whistle at those lesbians.

The sub-district office has received reports from residents several times, and has also talked to Zhang Wumao about these things many times, telling him to restrain his actions in the future.

But instead of listening, Zhang Wumao became even more arrogant.

Once, when the higher-level leaders went to inspect the neighborhood office, Zhang Wumao happened to see a few female comrades among the leaders, so he stood next to him and whistled at those female comrades.

In general, those female workers do not panic when they encounter such a situation.

After all, they are well-informed, but the female comrades of those district committees are all cultural people, where have they seen this kind of thing, they were so ashamed that they couldn't even raise their heads at that time.

Later, they reported the incident to the district.

It was the first time that the district had encountered this kind of thing, so he was angry at the time, and found the leader of the street office and criticized him fiercely.

The leaders of the neighborhood office were criticized, and naturally they were dissatisfied with Zhang Wumao.

So after getting a report from the residents, it was decided to drive Zhang Wumao out of the miscellaneous courtyard at that time.

When Zhang Wumao saw this situation, he was anxious, because he knew that once he left the courtyard, he would not even have a place to live.

Therefore, in the face of the street squad officials who came to pick up people, Zhang Wumao kept saying that the house belonged to him, and the comrades in the street office had no right to pick people off.

But.

However, the comrades of the neighborhood office directly presented the title deed of the neighborhood office.

The title deed clearly states that Zhang Wumao's house is rented by a timber mill, and the real ownership of the house belongs to the street office.

Therefore, the neighborhood office has the right to kick Zhang Wumao out.

After this incident, the residents of the compound became honest.

After all, in this year, the houses in the capital are already overcrowded.

And private people can't buy a house yet, if it's evicted, then there really is no place to live.

Zhang Dafa is a man with brains and instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Facing the angry residents, he hurriedly explained: "The big guy may have misunderstood, I didn't mean that just now."

You may not know it, just now, this Comrade Qin Huairu actually asked me for a bride price of 20 yuan. You say he can't go too far? ”

Hearing about the bride price of twenty yuan, the residents couldn't help but gasp.

The big guys are not stupid, they all know the current situation, in the current era of material scarcity, twenty yuan is already a sky-high bride price.

If it had been replaced by someone else in the past, then those residents would definitely have grievances for Zhang Daming.

But.

Zhang Dafa has always been unflattering, and the big guys have opinions about him.

"Zhang Dafa, we all know everything. That's right, the bride price of 20 yuan does seem like a lot. But it's really like what this Comrade Qin Huairu said. Jia Zhang is an experienced old comrade, and marrying into the family is equivalent to marrying a treasure. Can it be the same as marrying an ordinary little girl? ”

"Yes, yes, Zhang Dafa, haven't you heard of it? There is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure. ”

"I see. Twenty dollars is not a lot at all, and if it were me, I might have to ask forty dollars.

You have to figure it out, how much pressure does Qin Huairu have to endure if you marry your in-laws? ”

"yes, yes. That's all there is to our hometown. His mother was already ready to get married, but his son did not agree, the reason was very simple, his son was afraid of being ridiculed by the neighbors around him, and the family quarreled about this matter.

In the end, a beautiful marriage was cut off because of this matter. ”

"Qin Huairu is willing to support, let alone a bride price of 20 yuan, even if someone asks for a bride price of 100 yuan, you should pay it."

"yes, yes. What a good daughter-in-law Qin Huairu is. Zhang Dafa, don't be dissatisfied. ”

"In addition, I heard that Jia Zhang has a grandson and two granddaughters.

If Zhang Dafa marries Jia Zhang, wouldn't it be equivalent to picking up a grandson and two granddaughters at the same time?

So he didn't just marry Jia Zhang, from this point of view, Zhang Dafa simply made a lot of money. ”

I have to say.

The power of the masses of the people is very great, and it takes almost a moment to analyze the matter clearly.

Zhang Dafa didn't think of this, and was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was powerless to refute.

Qin Huairu didn't expect it.

She reacted quickly, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Uncle Zhang, you are older, even if you get married, you may not be able to have children in the future."

When the time comes, my sons and daughters will be your grandsons and granddaughters.

When you are old, they will be able to provide for you in your old age. ”

This sentence can be regarded as speaking to Zhang Dafa's heart.

Zhang Dafa has been married twice in his life, but has no children and grandchildren.

Now he has a retirement salary and a hukou in the capital, so he doesn't lack anything on weekdays.

The only thing to worry about is that when they are old, there is no one to provide for them to die.

Zhang Dafa also wanted to adopt a child in a welfare home.

But he knows very well that he is now so old that even if he adopts a child, he may not be able to pull the child up in the future.

In addition, how can an adopted child have a child of his own?

Although it is said that the children of the Jia family are not his, but once he marries the Jia Zhang family, aren't those children exactly like him?

Thinking of these, Zhang Dafa also felt that he had picked up a big bargain.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Qin Huairu." What you said is not wrong, I am willing to pay the bride price of 20 yuan. ”

Qin Huairu didn't expect Zhang Dafa to be so easy to succumb.

Looking at Zhang Dafa's appearance, Qin Huairu realized that this retired old worker may be far richer than he imagined.

If she didn't make a lot of money from this, then she wouldn't be called Qin Huairu.

So Qin Huairu rolled his eyes, and then said: "Uncle Zhang is really good, and then it won't be long before we will be a family, but now there is another matter, I want to discuss it with you." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Dafa frowned: "Qin Huairu, I have already decided to give you the bride price money, you don't want anything else, right?" In that case, you're going to have to get a little bit of an inch. ”

Qin Huairu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Zhang, you misunderstood, where am I the kind of person who is insatiable?"

But. I've already said that. Although my mother is relatively old and can't be like an ordinary little girl, we still have to go through the necessary things and necessary procedures.

For example, you should marry my mother in the family. ”

Hearing this, what did Zhang Dafa just want to say? Aunt Liu stood up and spoke.

"Zhang Dafa. Qin Huairu is right, although Jia Zhang's is old, but people are also going to marry you, and they are also new daughters-in-law, you can't discriminate against others because of their age. ”

When Zhang Dafa heard this, he could only sigh and say, "Okay." Formal wedding. ”

Qin Huairu smiled and said: "According to the procedure, we have to find a matchmaker first, of course, I appeared here today to talk to you about these things, what I do is the work of a matchmaker, so you should give me all the gifts that should be given to the matchmaker." Of course, I don't want much from you.

You give me five dollars plus two pounds of pork. ”

Five bucks. Zhang Dafa's brows furrowed tightly: "Qin Huairu, are you thinking of me as a fool?" Now the matchmaker on the street only needs a dollar of matchmaker money at most. ”

Qin Huairu laughed: "Uncle Zhang, you have made the mistake of empiricism again. Do you think I'm like a regular matchmaker? Besides, are things between you and Jia Zhang the same as those young people? ”
