Chapter 34: The Qiu Family's Vote
88, lotus confession
Spring in the south of the Yangtze River comes early, and the peach blossoms are about to bloom. One day suddenly the phone rang, it was a long distance. Qiu Lianhua hurriedly picked up the microphone: "Hey! Who are you looking for? ”
"Hey! Flower! I'm Daddy! ”
"Dad! Is there something wrong? ”
"Yes! You want Zhibao to answer the phone! ”
"Brother Zhibao! My dad is looking for you! Qiu Lianhua said.
"Hey! Uncle Qiu! Is there something wrong? Zhao Zhibao asked.
"Why call if you have nothing to do! I've never received a call from you, so what are you busy with? Qiu Zhimin said.
"It's nothing, it's a bit of a personal matter, it's already done. What do you have to say! Zhao Zhibao said.
"That's right, I went to Deputy Commander Jia once for the house, and I asked: 'If someone in the local area asks our repair team to help with the work, do you do it or not!' He asked, 'Who is it?' Actually found our army! I said: 'Commander! It doesn't matter who it is, if you have a job to do, or if you don't do it? He thought about it for a moment and said, 'If there is a local difficulty, it is still necessary to help, and the people's army is for the people!' If you work more, it is more appropriate to charge some fees, and if you work less, you can help, is it also to improve military-civilian relations? He asked me again: 'Whose relationship is it?' I told him and said, 'It's my friend, and I'm afraid of bad influences, so I've come to ask you.' He said, "No matter whose friend it is, you have to help, and you should charge some fees appropriately, this is not a problem, no need to ask for instructions!" 'Chi Po! Do you think that's good news? ”
"Oh! Good news! Good news indeed! You go on to say. Zhao Zhibao said.
"When I came back, I went to Team Liu and Engineer Hao. Team Liu said: "If you don't ask for advice, I should also go to help, working hours are not allowed, and I will go in my spare time." Hao Gong also expressed his willingness to help, so we drew up a price: material costs, about 30,000 yuan, and the rest of the working hours were given 20,000 yuan, and finally agreed, the price was 50,000 yuan, and they were contracted to the repair team, what do you think? Qiu Zhimin said.
"Hey! Uncle Qiu can't! At least add 10,000, tell them what I mean, at least 60,000, I won't do it without it! I don't want to owe people a favor. You know, I don't care about that money either! Uncle Qiu, so be it! ”
"Wait a minute!" Qiu Lianhua hurriedly picked up the phone and said, "Hey! Father! I have something to say! ”
"Flowers! You okay? Is there something wrong with you? Qiu Zhimin asked.
"Dad! Am I still your daughter? Don't you have time to say a few words to your daughter? Is Mom okay? Grandparents, how are they? ”
"They were all nice! You can rest assured! You tell me, what happened to Zhibao? ”
"He's divorced!" Qiu Lianhua said softly.
"Hey! What did you say? I didn't hear clearly! ”
"I didn't listen to the reckoning, just when I didn't say it, Dad! Take care! Good bye! Qiu Lianhua hung up the phone.
Qiu Zhimin heard it clearly, but he pretended not to hear it clearly, and asked Qiu Lianhua to say it again. But Qiu Lianhua ignored him, this flower has a heart!
In the evening, Qiu Zhimin told Song Xiaoling about it: "Xiaoling! Is your daughter thinking of spring? ”
"What a spring and a summer! It's so ugly! Do you still look like a father? ”
"How can you care about your daughter's lifelong events, it's not like a father!"
"The flowers are still small! It's not a lifelong event. ”
"It's a little early to get married, it's okay to talk about love, and you can't get married after a year or two of talking about it."
"That's ideal, but who to talk to?"
"Of course I talked to Zhao Zhibao, didn't you see what was going on in your daughter's mind?"
"I saw it earlier! Doesn't Zhibao have a wife? ”
"Now Zhibao is divorced. I think this is an opportunity! ”
"You want your daughter to marry a second marryman!"
"What's wrong with the second marryman? They haven't been married for a few months! ”
"Even if you get married for one day, it's a second marriage! The flowers are so beautiful! Don't you want to marry a second marriage, right? ”
"I won't fight with you, it's up to her to choose! If she chooses Zhibao, I support it! I don't care if he's the first or the last! Just have a good character! ”
"Good character? Why did you divorce a beautiful wife after only a few days of marriage? ”
"I don't know! There must be other reasons, don't jump to conclusions if you don't know! ”
"If you don't know, don't say it! Go to bed! ”
"The reaction has passed! Isn't it possible to make out a little bit? ”
"It's suffocated! Give it a try! You have to be gentle, don't get rid of your son! ”
Qiu Zhimin, who had been holding back for a few months, opened meat again. People say that a long absence is better than a newlywed! Qiu Zhimin is not satisfied, and he has to come again.
Song Xiaoling said: "No! Just try it today, if there is no movement, tomorrow will be fine, tomorrow will be okay? ”
Qiu Zhimin wants to go in again, but he can't do it! Bear with me! I had to sleep.
After listening to the phone, Zhao Zhibao was in a much better mood. He said to Qiu Lianhua: "Tomorrow is Sunday, how about we go to the suburbs to have fun?" ”
Qiu Lianhua said: "Okay! I've been here for a month or two, and I haven't gone out yet! Just get familiar with the environment. ”
The place where Zhao Zhibao is going to play is called Taohuawu. It was about ten miles from the city, surrounded on all sides by mountains, and surrounded by a wasteland. The mountains are not high, there are many trees, they are verdant and green, and there are gurgling water everywhere, and streams flow downward, and the wasteland is surrounded by a pool of water. This water is made up of many small streams. When the pond is full, it flows down the ditch and out of the mountain.
A teacher at an agricultural university lives in the dock. In an unknown year, he planted many peach trees in the wasteland, and two years later they became forests. Every year in mid-March, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, which is very attractive. He renamed this col Taohuawu.
Zhao Zhibao and the others may have come a little earlier, and the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, but on the sunny side, there are still a lot of blooms. Zhao Zhibao said with feeling: "Look at the unopened buds, it really looks like you!" ”
"Isn't that like me? I am a lotus, not a peach blossom! ”
"Whether it's a lotus flower or a peach blossom, it's all the budding flowers!"
"Brother Zhibao! Do you like that flower or not? ”
"I like it! Anyone loves flowers? ”
Qiu Lianhua didn't speak, but ran under the peach tree, reached out and picked a peach blossom, and gave it to Zhao Zhibao: "Brother Zhibao!" To you! ”
"How can you fold flowers?"
"When the flowers can be broken, they must be folded, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches! Silly brother! You wait to break the branches! ”
What does that mean? Zhao Zhibao still doesn't understand? Zhao Zhibao thought for a while and said, "Sister Lotus! Don't lead your brother down the wrong path! I know who I am! I don't want to hurt you! ”
"Brother Zhibao! To tell you the truth, I've been determined to marry you ever since you gave me treatment on the train! ”
"Why?"
"Because you've seen my body!"
"What kind of logic is this? Besides, I didn't look at what you shouldn't see, did I? Even if you read it, you don't have to marry me, do you? ”
"I don't care about anyone else, that's what I think. Because you have a wife, I have been putting up with it. Now that you're free, I don't care, if you don't fold flowers, I'm going to fold people! ”
"Yes, I'm free, but I'm a second marriage! You're a big girl with yellow flowers, I can't afford to climb high! ”
"I don't care if you're the first or second marriage, as long as you're a good person!"
"Truce, truce! Don't mention it in the future! Because you are young and do not know the world. I'll just say it as if you were a child, don't count! ”
"Brother Zhibao! You also look down on people too much, why don't I understand the world? As if you were sensible, if you did, you wouldn't have lost your new home! ”
"Don't talk about it! I've seen almost everything here, so let's go back! ”
Zhao Zhibao seems to be angry, this is a scar on him, which has been punctured! But he was not angry, so he had to offer to go back.
Qiu Lianhua said: "Brother Zhibao! I'm sorry! I said the wrong thing. Let's play again! I haven't seen enough yet! You see how well the flowers bloom over there, let's go over there and have a look! ”
It is true that I went back not long after I came, which is obviously not right! Zhao Zhibao still agreed to play again. He did not object, and followed Qiu Lianhua to the other side to see the flowers. …
After this trip, the biggest gain is that Qiu Lianhua has shown her heart. After enduring the words in my heart for several months, I finally said it! Although Zhao Zhibao did not react enthusiastically, he was not so opposed, but he was just a little inferior! As long as you don't oppose it, you are not far from success. A little inferiority is nothing! It can always be overcome. Some people say: Men chase women across the mountain, women chase men across the veil! Qiu Lianhua is convinced that this veil will be torn by her!
89. Additional investment
On Saturday, March 19, Zhao Zhibao was about to get off work when the phone suddenly rang. Zhao Zhibao hurriedly picked up the microphone: "Hey! Where? ”
"Chi Po! It's you! I'm Qiu Zhimin. ”
"Oh! Uncle Qiu! What do you have to say. ”
"That's right, the covered bathroom, it's already good. Would you like to come and see! If you want to change it, you can change it! Engineer Hao said, it's best for you to accept it first, so that you can proceed next! ”
"Uncle Qiu! You wait! Zhao Zhibao pressed the microphone and said to Qiu Lianhua: "Lotus! Your father said he wanted me to go to the provincial capital, do you want to go? ”
"Go! It's useless for me to stay here alone, I might as well go home. Qiu Lianhua said.
"Hey! Uncle Qiu! Let's go! Pick us up tomorrow at 9:40 bus station. "The phone hung up.
The two of them went to the "Stomach Hall" for dinner, and then returned to the "Clinic for the People", hung out the suspension card, and indicated: 20th and 21st for two days off.
Return to Zhao's house. Zhao Zhibao told his parents: "Tomorrow we will go to the provincial capital to see the house." Is there anything you guys are up to? ”
Qian Doudou said: "It's nothing, you ask your sister, when will we give birth, we can get ready to go to grandma." ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "What do you have to prepare for being a grandmother? ”
Qian Doudou said: "You don't understand this, just ask!" ”
Zhao Zhibao agreed. Then go back to the room to collect your bags.
Zhao Zhibao and the others took the first train and arrived at the provincial bus station, it was 9:42, and Qiu Zhimin was waiting at the gate of the station. Qiu Lianhua glanced around as soon as she got out of the car, and when she saw Qiu Zhimin standing at the exit door, she stepped forward and shouted: "Dad!" We're here! ”
"Hello Uncle Qiu! Thank you! Zhao Zhibao said.
"Get in the car!"
"Where first?"
"Let's go and see the house first!" Zhao Zhibao said: "I have a house in my heart! ”
It didn't take long for the car to arrive. Zhao Zhibao and Qiu Lianhua left their bags in the car and followed Qiu Zhimin out of the car.
Zhao Zhibao followed into the house, and Qiu Zhimin said: "The workers are on holiday today, Team Liu and Engineer Hao are still on it, let's go up." ”
When you go to the 3rd floor, you can see the covered bathroom. When Team Liu and Hao Gong saw Zhao Zhibao coming, they hurriedly greeted each other, said a few polite words to each other, and began to inspect.
The bathroom has been built and can be accessed directly from the inside of the room. Because of the large area, there are also showers (electric hot water), and the floors and walls are covered with tiles.
Zhao Zhibao said: "Hao Gong! Thank you very much! My original request was that as long as there was a toilet, I didn't expect it to be so foreign! Let me know a hillbilly. Captain Liu! Tell your men that I'll give you a bonus when you're done! There's something for everyone! ”
When talking about how to decorate the house, Zhao Zhibao said: "It turned out that running water should enter every room, and the west side has met the requirements, and a sink can be added to each floor in the east side." After a pause, he said, "The kitchen behind the first floor, expand a little more and look at the land!" How wide and how wide! Hao Gong, you call the shots! ”
Finally, he said: "It's best to remodel the kitchen, to be a little more atmospheric, a little more advanced, and a little more foreign." That is to say, you can increase the investment by another 10,000 yuan, isn't it 60,000 yuan? Change it to 70,000 yuan, I'll pay for it! ”
90. The name of the medical hall is corrected
The boss pays, the guy does the work, everything is good to say. In the end, Zhao Zhibao said: "That's okay, let's go to a restaurant and sit down and say, by the way, how about inviting everyone to have a light meal?" ”
The matter of viewing the house has been decided, no more requests will be made, and the meal is real.
Hao Ping asked, "Doctor Zhao, are you opening a hospital?" I don't know what to call it? I'm also good at designing. ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "Hao Gong is right, I almost forgot, I haven't considered the name of the hospital yet!" You may wish to give your comments. Everyone eats and thinks about names.
Qiu Zhimin said: "It's better to call it a traditional Chinese medicine hospital." Didn't you see Chinese medicine? ”
Qiu Lianhua said: "The traditional Chinese medicine hospital is too general, and it is better to call it Zhibao Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital." ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "It's not good to add your own name, it's too domineering." Hao Gong, think about it, here you have the highest level of culture! ”
Hao Ping said: "I'm just a student, I don't know anything about medicine, I can't name it, if you want to say that the cultural level is still the highest in Qiu, think about it again!" ”
Qiu Zhimin said: "How about calling it Pingle Chinese Medicine Hall? Pingle is the consciousness of peace and happiness, and it is also the hometown of Zhibao. The museum is smaller than the hospital, so it is more appropriate to call the museum, what do you think? ”
Zhao Zhibao said: "I look very good! It's called "Pingle Chinese Medicine Hall". Make a plaque and hang it horizontally on the gate, and make a big billboard to highlight the 6 words of special treatment of incurable diseases! Let's do this later! Let's settle the business license first! This is going to trouble Uncle Qiu again. It seems that I have to ask Grandpa Qiu to leave Pingle's medical license, business license, and a few photos here, Uncle Qiu may be able to use it, it may be easy to do, or it may be very troublesome! It's all up to Uncle Qiu! ”
The meal was a pleasure! Zhao Zhibao was deeply pleased. In the end, he said: "Please Hao Gong and Team Liu continue to work hard!" Celebrate the event when it's finished! ”
91. Qiu's vote
In the afternoon, Zhao Zhibao went to No. 36 Lianhua Lane and didn't say anything. Now let's talk about Qiu Lianhua's return to the 15th.
When Qiu Lianhua entered the house, the first thing she saw was her mother Song Xiaoling. "Mom!" The sound made Song Xiaoling excited! "Ghost girl! Why did you come back all of a sudden! ”
"I didn't come back suddenly, my dad asked us to come back!" Qiu Lianhua said.
"We? Who else? ”
"Who else? It's Brother Zhibao! ”
"What about people?"
"I'm going to see his sister!"
"Why don't you call him to come to our house for dinner!"
"Mom! People go to see my sister, how embarrassed am I to stop it! ”
"Flowers! Now tell Mom and Dad, what does divorce mean? ”
"What do people have to say about divorce?"
"Who is divorced? Flower! Tell me why you got divorced? Song Xiaoling said.
"Knowingly asked! It's Brother Zhibao who is divorced. People are sad! Don't ask people in person! ”
"How could we? We're only talking about the house. Qiu Zhimin said.
"I'm asking why they divorced?" Song Xiaoling said.
"The fuse was that the woman didn't have a comrade brother to discuss, and she knocked out the child she was pregnant with!" Qiu Lianhua said.
"Ouch! What a pity! This woman is too ruthless! The flesh and blood are willing to do it. Song Xiaoling said.
"Yes! It hurt Brother Zhibao's heart too much, so they divorced. And also deceived Brother Zhibao of a beautiful house. Qiu Lianhua said.
"How is Zhibao now?" Song Xiaoling asked.
"It's okay now! The mood is a little low, and the inferiority complex is very strong! Qiu Lianhua said.
"What is inferiority?" Song Xiaoling asked.
"Inferiority complex second marriage! He said that it is not good to find a partner for a second marriage. Qiu Lianhua said.
"It's hard to find a partner for a second marriage!" Song Xiaoling asked.
"Someone dislikes it!" Qiu Zhimin said.
"Don't you dislike it?" Song Xiaoling said.
"Did I say I dislike it?" Qiu Lianhua said.
"It's over! Chimin! Finished! Song Xiaoling said.
"Mom! Who's finished? Dad, what's the end? Qiu Lianhua said.
"Silly girl! Say you're done! Can't you hear me? Qiu Zhimin said.
"I'm fine, everything is fine, what's over? Can you make this clear? Qiu Lianhua said.
"Your mother is worried about you, and Zhibao is getting along. So you're done! Qiu Zhimin said.
"Even if you get along with Brother Zhibao, why is it over? I want to be good with him, but Brother Zhibao doesn't want to! Even if it's good, it's not over. Mom, you're an antique! Qiu Lianhua said.
"Why does he still dislike you?" Song Xiaoling said.
"I didn't say he dislikes me, your daughter is so beautiful, why does he dislike me? I mean, he's not worthy of me, no! I was wrong, he said he wasn't worthy of me! "Qiu Lianhua is really a little anxious.
"I think it would be nice if Zhibao and our daughter got along, talented and beautiful! To hell with the second marriage! What kind of first marriage and second marriage, as long as the character is good, just like Zhao Zhibao's talent and character, you can't find it with a lantern, I agree! Flowers work hard! Qiu Zhimin said.
"Dad! Thank you! I'm going to try. Let's listen to grandparents in the evening! ”
At dinner, Qiu Lianhua took the initiative to tell her grandparents: "Grandpa! Grandmother! Brother Zhibao is divorced, I want to pursue him, and I want to hear your opinions. ”
"Ahh Zhao Zhibao is divorced, it's not you there to make it bad! Qiu Changfu said.
"Grandpa! Look at what you said, is your granddaughter like that? They divorced because the woman had no comrade Brother Bao to consult, and without Brother Zhibao's consent, she had knocked out the fetus in her womb without permission. broke Brother Zhibao's heart, and it has nothing to do with me! Qiu Lianhua said.
"That's good, I know you're very good to Zhibao, as long as you don't destroy people's relationships, Zhibao is now a free body, of course it's reasonable and legal for you to pursue it, I don't object!" Qiu Changfu said.
"Where's you, grandma?" Qiu Lianhua asked.
"The child named Zhao Zhibao is a good child. I like it very much, and if it were my grandson-in-law, I would have no objection! Grandma Qiu said.
"Mom and Dad! Zhibao is now a second marriage, where is he worthy of being my son-in-law? Song Xiaoling said.
"As long as my daughter likes it, I support it!" Qiu Zhimin said.
"Mom, you don't have to object! 3:1。 Objections are invalid! Not sure I'll be able to catch up now? Qiu Lianhua said.
"Flowers! Take your time, don't you guys work together? Slowly cultivate feelings! The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and it will naturally become a pair when the time comes! Grandma said.
"Your grandmother said it well, just by virtue of my granddaughter's appearance, she will also charm him!" Qiu Changfu said.
"You can't just rely on your looks, you have to study hard, work hard, and be a good person!" Song Xiaoling said.
"Mom! Do you agree? Qiu Lianhua said.
"I don't agree that it works? Actually, I also like Zhibao's child. It's just that the face can't go up and down. Song Xiaoling said.
92. Sister and brother talk heart-to-heart
Zhao Zhibao didn't know what happened to the Qiu family. He was asking his sister, when will the general be a soldier in the company?
Zhao Zhizhen is 8 or 9 months pregnant, and her belly is as big as a general, and Zhao Zhibao laughs at her as a general.
Zhao Zhizhen said: "The smooth delivery should be around May 20. ”
"Sister! Are your parents coming? Zhao Zhibao asked.
"It's customary to call it Grandma. Mom is definitely coming. It is much more considerate for a mother to greet her daughter for confinement than a mother-in-law to serve her daughter-in-law for confinement, which is what it means to be a grandmother. Zhao Zhizhen said.
"What do you do grandma? Is this clearly an aunt (nanny)? Zhao Zhibao said.
"That's how it used to be, it's different now, if mom has a job, she can't come. It can only be done by the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law also has a job, only to hire a nanny. I used to call my aunt! Zhao Zhizhen said.
"If you don't have a mother, you don't have a mother-in-law, and you can't afford a babysitter, you have to take care of yourself." Zhao Zhibao said.
"And a husband! That's where the husband works. Zhao Zhizhen said.
"It's not appropriate for this husband! Not interesting! Zhao Zhibao said.
"Listen to you, what's the matter?" Zhao Zhizhen said.
"Sister! Tell you about it! I'm divorced. Not a husband anymore. Zhao Zhibao said.
"Okay, how can you get divorced?" Zhao Zhizhen asked.
So, Zhao Zhibao told Xia Hehua about beating the child without consulting and agreeing with him.
Zhao Zhizhen said angrily: "Don't want such a woman!" Xiaobao finds another good one and her off! ”
"Sister! It's looking for objects, not things, how can it be so easy! Zhao Zhibao said.
"Little treasure! You're in good condition! It is necessary to be well-written and have superb medical skills; To be martial, martial arts; To have character; Have a look. I look at that Qiu family girl, I like you very much, and now I am a colleague, just in time! ”
"Sister! You're afraid of robbery! Your brother has become a second marriage, and his reputation is not good! ”
"It's only been a few days since I got married and it became a second marriage, which is really harmful! I was going to throw it away, I used to doubt it, I didn't expect her to be such a woman, she really knows people and doesn't know her heart! I look at that woman, and it's hard to find. But men are still better than women, and women like her, and those who are called broken shoes, are ugly! Xiaobao! As long as you work hard, there will naturally be beautiful women who will give you a hug. Don't rush, time will dilute everything! Zhao Zhizhen said.
The best and most correct sentence is: time dilutes everything!
