Chapter 22: Speak Out
In the afternoon, Wang Zhong rode a bicycle and returned to the courtyard with He Yushui, who was holding a fishing rod and carrying a bucket.
"You bring two fish back!" Wang Zhong said while parking his bicycle and rushing to the rain walking towards his house.
Yushui said: "Don't say it, these fish are all caught by Brother Wang Chong, I haven't caught any of them, so I won't take them!" β
Wang Zhong said: "Let you take it, what nonsense!" This crucian carp is the most delicious when used in stewed soup, and the nutrition of such a large wild crucian carp is no less than that of an old hen. β
"Brother Wang Chong, thank you!"
"Be so polite to me!"
"I'll put the rest of the fish in the bathroom for you!"
"Okay!"
It's cold enough today, Wang Chong's catch a lot, even the rain and Yu Haitang two novices have caught a lot, but they haven't caught big fish, the biggest is a carp of about three catties that Wang Chong fished, and then the crucian carp that he brought back a little bit more passable.
Wang Chong's carp and some other small fish were sold, and he only kept five crucian carp, although the catch of the rain was not much, and it was not big, but it was enough for the brothers and sisters to eat two meals, so the rain would refuse Wang Chong's crucian carp.
"I'll leave you a meal for these little fish! It's all in a bucket. After putting the fish away, Yushui took his leave, took the crucian carp and the small trash fish, and left Wang Chong's house.
Park the bicycle, and before Wang Chong entered the house, Qin Jingru came to find it, and estimated that he saw the rain and went home, so he came to take a look, just in time for Wang Chong to park the bicycle and prepare to enter the door.
"Brother Wang Chong!" I haven't seen him for a long time, and Qin Jingru's name for Wang Chong has also changed, and he has learned the name of rainwater.
"It's Sister Jingru, what's wrong?" Wang Chong tilted his head and looked at Qin Jingru with a smile on his face.
Although Qin Jingru is not small, but in the end she is a big girl with yellow flowers who has not been out of the cabinet, and when she saw Wang Zhong looking at her, her pretty face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
"I'll see if you've caught a big fish again!" Qin Jingru lowered her head and grabbed her braids, pulled her hair and said.
"Big fish are so easy to catch!" Wang Chongdao: "I caught a few crucian carp and some small trash fish!" β
"That's pretty good, too!" Qin Jingru's eyes were about to have little stars popping up.
"Is Sister Jingru busy?" Wang Zhong asked.
Qin Jingru was stunned by Wang Chong's question, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Wang Chong, with disbelief and surprise in her eyes, and hurriedly said: "I'm not busy, what do I have to be busy with!" β
Wang Chongdao: "If you're not busy, help me clean up the fish?" Have dinner together? β
"Really?" Qin Jingru still asked in disbelief.
Wang Zhong said: "Of course! β
Qin Jingru's face suddenly showed a strong sense of joy: "Brother Wang Chong, it's not me who blows, let me tell you, I'll clean up the fish!" β
"It's cold, let's stop standing here and go inside!"
"Uh-huh!" Qin Jingru immediately nodded like pounding garlic.
The two entered the house, put down the curtain to block the wind, Wang Zhong hung the bicycle key on the hook by the door, and said, "The fish is in the bathroom, put it in the bucket!" β
Qin Jingru quickly went into the bathroom and lifted the bucket out, took out the dustpan, put the dustpan horizontally in the pool, directly picked up the bucket, and poured the fish straight onto the dustpan.
It should be scooped out of the river, and there are some fine pieces of aquatic weeds, withered branches and leaves mixed in, Qin Jingru cleaned the fish twice first, and then put a few crucian carp back into the bucket, took off the short knife on the knife case, Ma Li disemboweled the small trash fish one by one to remove the internal organs, and put them in the basin, at a glance, he knew that it was the kind of person who had been busy working in the stove for many years.
"Did your sister tell you about me?" Wang Chong's sudden question made Qin Jingru's heart tremble, but fortunately, her hand was still stable, so she didn't hurt herself.
Qin Jingru bowed slightly: "It's said!" β
"What about my request?"
"Say it too!" Qin Huairu nodded again, but her heartbeat couldn't help but be a little faster, the speed of blood flow began to speed up, her pretty face became hotter and hotter, and she didn't know when it had been dyed pink, and she was inexplicably a little apprehensive, excited and looking forward to it.
"I've never liked beating around the bush, I'll ask some things directly, and you don't have to be pressured!"
"Hmm!" Qin Jingru only felt that her whole body was hot, and her mind was a little blank.
Wang Zhong asked, "What do you think yourself?" β
Qin Jingru was a little overwhelmed: "What do you think?" β
Wang Chongdao: "What do you think of me?" β
"Good!" Qin Jingru was a little speechless, and her words trembled a little.
Wang Zhong asked again, "What about my conditions?" Can you do it? β
Qin Jingru's heart jumped to her throat, but after listening to Wang Chong's words, she subconsciously replied: "I can do it, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future, I will listen to you!" β
As soon as the words came out, Qin Jingru breathed a sigh of relief.
"Got it figured?" Wang Chong turned his head to look at Qin Jingru and asked.
"You've figured it out!" Qin Jingru replied without thinking about it.
Wang Chong suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Qin Jingru's arm, and pulled it in front of him: "Look at my eyes, do you really think about it?" β
Qin Jingru raised her eyes to meet Wang Chong's gaze, looked at the big black and shiny eyes that reflected her appearance, and nodded heavily: "I have already thought about it!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have come with my cousin. β
"Marriage is not child's play, this is a lifelong thing, not a decision made in the brain, to be honest, we have been together for too short, we don't know each other well enough, if you make a rash decision, you may regret it in the futureΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Before Wang Chong finished speaking, Qin Jingru couldn't wait to interrupt Wang Chong, a little excited, a little eager and said, "I don't regret it, I definitely won't regret it." β
"Don't worry, listen to me!" Wang Chong spoke again, interrupting Qin Jingru's argument, Qin Jingru immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes, for fear that he would dislike Wang Chong.
"It's also a farm now, you live with your cousin for a while, but her mother-in-law is not easy to get along with, you don't have to eat at her house except for sleeping at your cousin's place at night, come to me, three meals a day are solved here by me, and by the way, your cousin usually does all the work she does at my house, and I still give you your cousin the five yuan, do you have any opinions?"
"No comment!" Qin Jingru immediately shook his head and said.
"Good!" Wang Zhong said: "Let's start today!" β
"You're not good at cooking, I'll cook this meal today, and you'll watch from the side later, learn carefully."
"Hmm!" After the words were spoken, the stone hanging in Qin Jingru's heart fell to the ground, but she was not as nervous as she was at the beginning.
"It's still early, I'll take you to Chaoyang Vegetable Market later, and you will have to do the work of buying vegetables at home in the future."
When Qin Jingru heard this, instead of being unhappy, a heartfelt smile appeared on her face.
What Wang Chong said is that in the future, does he really take a fancy to himself?
As soon as she thought of this, Qin Jingru couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes to look at Wang Chong.
Tall, young, promising, and capable, his monthly salary is three times that of his cousin, and the key is that he looks good, he is simply the future husband that Qin Jingru dreams of.
Women are all Mu Qiang in their bones, not to mention that Qin Jingru is a person who wants to learn from her cousin Qin Huairu to marry into the city, so she naturally wants to find someone with good conditions, young and good appearance.
And no matter which of these things is, Wang Zhong is not bad.
Qin Jingru is indeed a little stupid, in the original plot, he was deceived by Xu Damao's rhetoric, and even lost his body.
But Wang Chong now just wants to find someone who is stupid and obedient, as long as he takes care of his diet and daily life, and keeps the house in order, and he doesn't need her to manage her finances and manage the family business.
Qin Jingru packed up all the fish, salted the fish under Wang Chong's guidance, and the two rode bicycles and went straight to the Chaoyang vegetable market.
"Have you ever been to the wet market?" Wang Zhong asked.
Qin Jingru sat sideways in the back seat, only grabbing Wang Chong's clothes behind his waist with both hands, he didn't dare to trespass, and there was a vegetable basket hanging in the crook of his arm: "I've been!" I used to sell old hens and eggs with my father. β
In the countryside, the old hens and eggs can be taken to the city for some food, and as for pork, they are eaten only during the New Year's holidays, and who is willing to sell them.
Even the old hen, if it weren't for the family's urgent need for money, would be reluctant to sell it, and leave the eggs to be exchanged for money.
In these years, eggs are expensive, and the old hen keeps the eggs, which is more cost-effective than selling them directly.
Chaoyang vegetable market is not close to Nanluoguxiang, but it is not far, the two of them arrived after a while, Wang Chong bought five pieces of tofu, a jar of bean curd, and led Qin Jingru to the meat stall.
"Buying meat again?" Qin Jingru hurriedly grabbed Wang Chong and said, "Brother Wang Chong, aren't there still fish at home!" β
Wang Chong saw that she looked distressed about her money, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "I know it in my heart." β
Seeing that Wang Chong insisted, Qin Jingru didn't speak again, and said to Wang Chong how to live and save some money.
It's just that it's already afternoon, and there isn't much meat left on the meat stall, and it's mostly lean meat and bones, and the most popular fatty meat has long been bought out, not to mention the lard, which has already been booked in advance by various units.
"Cut me half a catty of meat and put these barrel bones on me!"
Seeing that Wang Chong even wanted a barrel bone with no flesh, Qin Jingru immediately became anxious, frowned, and wanted to speak, but remembering Wang Chong's condition, he immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, for fear that he couldn't help it.
Seeing her like this, Wang Zhong smiled unkindly.
"It's all here, buy some more spices and go back, you look at it carefully, you have to buy all these spices when you turn around."
"Uh-huh!" Qin Jingru's expression was dazed, where did he still have time to think nonsense, and immediately followed Wang Zhong with full attention and continued to visit the vegetable market.
After a while, the vegetable basket in Qin Jingru's hand was full, fortunately, Qin Jingru worked in the field with his parents when he was a child, and his culture may not be high, but he still has a handful of strength.
"Brother Wang Chong, why are you buying so many bones?" On the way back, Qin Jingru couldn't help but ask curiously.
Wang Zhong replied, "It's used to make soup!" β
Qin Jingru asked again: "Isn't there a crucian carp at home?" β
"Just a few crucian carp, it's enough for a meal today, and now that the weather is so cold, it's okay to leave this bone for a few days."
Qin Jingru nodded and didn't ask any more.
After a while, the two entered Nanluoguxiang, and just arrived at the mouth of the alley, they happened to bump into Ran Qiuye who was riding a bicycle from another road.
"Wang Zhong?" Ran Qiuye was not surprised to see Wang Chong, but he was a little surprised to see Qin Jingru sitting on Wang Chong's back seat.
"Teacher Ran, it's been a long time!"
"It's been a while, who is this?" Ran Qiuye glanced at Qin Jingru and asked.
The two of them slowed down and got out of the car to chat.
"This is Qin Jingru, Jia Terrier's mother's cousin!"
"Teacher Ran, this is Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Going to our hospital? "Isn't it Courtyard No. 95 further on?
Ran Qiuye turned his head sideways, and said with a slightly red face: "Just now Master He came over and said that the rain brought a few crucian carp back, and he was going to make crucian carp tofu soup at night, so please come over and eat it together." β
"Teacher Ran, look at your appearance full of spring breeze, it seems that the entry with Brother Zhu is not bad?" Wang Zhong joked with a smile.
Ran Qiuye's cheeks were hot, his heart was in a mess, he didn't know how to answer, his eyes turned, and he saw Qin Jingru carrying a vegetable basket next to Wang Chong, and a plan suddenly came to his heart.
Rhetorical asked: "Are you also fast?" β
But Wang Chong is a way that does not play cards according to common sense, his eyes lit up, and Ran Qiuye, who looked up and down, said: "Also? Teacher Ran, you don't recruit yourself! β
Qin Jingru watched Wang Chong talk to Ran Qiuye, but he couldn't interject, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, and wanted to speak, but this Ran Qiuye was a teacher, Qin Jingru was afraid that he would lose Wang Chong's face by saying the wrong thing, make Wang Chong unhappy, and ruin his impression in Wang Chong's heart, so the gain outweighed the loss.
"Don't change the subject, what's the matter with you and Miss Jingru?" Ran Qiuye is not a good stubble that can be handled by the king.
"As you can see, we're on a blind date!" Wang Chong didn't hide the meaning of tucking it, and said it openly.
"You still want to go on a blind date?" Ran Qiuye couldn't believe Wang Chong's words.
"Why don't I go on a blind date!" Wang Chongdao.
Ran Qiuye just wanted to say that there were so many girls chasing you, but before the words came out, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words: "Miss Jingru, Wang Chongke is a rare good man, don't miss it!" β
"I haven't solved my own affairs yet, so I care about others?" Wang Zhong said unceremoniously.
"Why, don't I care about others?"
Although the two have not seen each other much, they talk like old friends who have known each other for many years.
"Why don't you be happy, but I think you better take care of yourself first!" Wang Chong suddenly gloated.
Ran Qiuye was a smart person, so he naturally heard Wang Chong's outdoor voice, and while he was puzzled in his heart, he simply asked, "What do you mean by this?" β
Wang Chongdao: "What else does it mean, your affair with Brother Zhu may not be successful!" β
Ran Qiuye immediately frowned, and looked at Wang Chong suspiciously: "Where did you start with this?" β
Wang Chongdao: "Brother Zhu has a rival in our courtyard, the two have been pinching since childhood, do you think Brother Zhu's opponent will watch Brother Zhu successfully marry such a good and excellent daughter-in-law as you?" β
"Why haven't I heard Master He mention it?" Ran Qiuye said curiously.
Wang Chongdao: "Aren't you going to Brother Zhu's house for dinner, you can ask him yourself when you eat later." β
Wang Chong can also be regarded as a preventive shot for Ran Qiuye, after all, Wang Chong is not a stupid nanny, and it is impossible to help him keep an eye on Xu Damao all the time.
Xu Damao's grandson can't see that Silly Zhu is a little good, if he knows that Silly Zhu and Ran Qiuye are developing so rapidly, he will definitely have to come up with some tricks.
Ran Qiuye nodded.
Wang Chong took on and said: "As the so-called eat a trench, grow a wisdom, Mr. Ran don't be like last time, being misunderstood by others in a few words, even if there is really something, the two of them sit down and talk openly and honestly, if they are really not all the way, then disperse as soon as possible, but don't make any misunderstandings, otherwise, it will be over if you regret it in the future." β
Wang Chong's words made Ran Qiuye's old face red, if he hadn't met Wang Chong at the gate of the courtyard last time, Ran Qiuye really misunderstood the stupid pillar.
Later, after hearing the two of them tell the ins and outs of the whole thing, Ran Qiuye also realized that he was preconceived, and when he heard Yan Fugui say that, he directly regarded Silly Zhu as a thief who stole bicycles, if it weren't for Wang Chong, with Ran Qiuye's temperament, he would never give Silly Zhu a good face before the misunderstanding was solved.
