Next.

Zhou Qiang sent Zhou Juan and Zhou Fang to school first.

Then I went to Dongcheng Auto Repair Factory to do odd jobs.

Around ten o'clock.

"Master, I have something to do today, so I have to leave early."

"Okay, today's work, count you as a piece of five." Sun Dafeng gave money directly.

"Thank you, Master." Zhou Qiang rode a tricycle and pulled Zhou Sheng away.

Passing by, when the grocery store.

Zhou Qiang locked the tricycle and carried Zhou Sheng in.

"Hello, two bottles of canned food and two packs of snacks." This is a gift that Zhou Qiang bought for the old man in Zhouzhuang's hometown.

The old man in Zhouzhuang's hometown is Zhou Qiang's father Zhou Tie's grandmother, Liu Xiu.

Zhou Tie's parents died early, and Zhou Tie was raised by Liu Xiu.

Every year, Zhou Tie would go to Zhouzhuang and visit Liu Xiu several times.

Zhou Tie also often talks about Liu Xiu at home.

Zhou Qiang also felt that he should continue to visit Liu Xiu.

"Second brother, I want to have a snack." Zhou Sheng whispered in Zhou Qiang's ear.

Zhou Qiang nodded and said to the salesman, "Please have another pack of dim sum." ”

"Two cans, three packs of snacks, money and tickets"

Zhou Qiang paid the ticket sharply, carried his things and left.

"Xiao Sheng, go back and eat dim sum with you Xiaojuan and Xiaofang." Zhou Qiang said a word to Zhou Sheng.

"Okay, second brother."

Police station.

He Yuzhu had already arrived nearby.

He was waiting for Zhou Qiang.

"Xiaoqiang, why did you arrive?" He Yuzhu was not empty-handed, he was carrying two net pockets in his hands, which contained cooked food and wine.

"Brother Zhuzi, I came from the auto repair shop." Zhou Qiang explained.

"I'm going to do odd jobs again." He Yuzhu looked at the black oil that accidentally stuck to Zhou Qiang's body, as well as the smell of gasoline on Zhou Qiang's body, and suddenly felt that Zhou Qiang in front of him was very similar to him a few years ago.

After He Yuzhu's father, He Daqing, ran away with the White Widow, there were only two people left in the family, He Yuzhu and He Yushui.

Now, the situation of the Zhou family, Zhou Qiang is 15 years old, with three younger brothers and sisters, which is more difficult than the situation at that time.

"Yes, you can't make money." Zhou Qiang's hands do not have black oil, when he works, he wears two layers of gloves, and he has to cook when he goes home, and his hands can't be dirty.

"Xiaoqiang, it's not easy for you, if you tell me anything in the future, I will definitely help."

"Okay." Zhou Qiang responded casually. He will not ask for help easily.

"Xiaoqiang, I brought something, this is for the people of the commune, and this is for you."

"Okay." Zhou Qiang did not refuse. He didn't bother to refuse, so he took the thing casually, "Let's go in." ”

"That, Xiaoqiang, what should I say when I go in?" He Yuzhu was suddenly a little embarrassed.

"Brother Zhuzi, you don't have to say anything out of your way, I will tell the people of the Red Star Commune about your situation, you just go and take a look and chat a few words, so that they know who they are introducing to them, and after meeting you, they can be regarded as having a spectrum in their hearts."

"I know, I'll just say I'll come with you." He Yuzhu tidied up his clothes and followed Zhou Qiang in.

Passing by the porter.

The porter: "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

"Master, I'm Zhou Qiang, I'm looking for Director Ma."

"Oh, it's Zhou Qiang, Director Ma has an explanation, I'll take you to him."

A small office.

Ma Dong is with the people of the Red Star Commune.

Ma Dong also learned a lot about Zhou Tong's father and son from the Red Star Commune.

"It seems that the problem of Zhou Tong's father and son is very serious, you must pay attention to it, you must deal with it seriously, let them seriously work and reform, and if the transformation is not complete, they must not be released."

"Yes, yes, it's because we didn't do our job well, and we didn't take good care of bad elements like Zhou Tong's father and son, we must let them work hard to reform when we go back."

The office door is not closed.

As soon as Zhou Qiang and the others arrived at the door, Ma Dong saw it. He stood up with a smile, "Xiaoqiang is here, come, come in, let me introduce you, this is President Zhang of the Red Star Commune, this is Captain Zhou of the Zhouzhuang Production Team, this is Zhou Tie's son, Zhou Qiang." ”

Red Star Commune came with a president Zhang Daliang, Zhouzhuang came with a production team captain Zhou Shan, and two team members.

They came to take Zhou Tong's father and son back.

"Hello President Zhang."

"Hello Uncle Zhou." Zhou Qiang knew Zhou Shan. Zhou Tie and Zhou Shan are cousins.

"Xiaoqiang has grown so big." Zhang Daliang knew Zhou Tie and had met Zhou Qiang before.

"Xiaoqiang, it's our fault, we didn't look at Zhou Tong and them." Zhou Shan felt sorry for Zhou Qiang.

A few people exchanged a few words.

He Yuzhu also said a few words, leaving a warm-hearted impression on everyone.

"Xiaoqiang, don't worry, we will strictly discipline Zhou Tong's father and son." Zhang Daliang and Zhou Shan repeatedly assured.

"Thank you, President Zhang, Uncle Zhou." Zhou Qiang also expressed his gratitude.

Quickly finished talking about Zhou Tong's father and son.

Zhou Qiang said hello to Ma Dong and Zhang Daliang, and went to another office with Zhou Shan.

"Uncle Zhou, there are two things that need to trouble you, one is, He Yuzhu just now, he wants to find a partner, as long as the person is good, it doesn't matter if the countryside is good."

"What? That rolling mill chef wants to find a rural girl? Zhou Shan was a little surprised, "Isn't there something wrong with him?" "That's what normal people think. Only those in the city who have problems will look for those in the countryside.

"Uncle Zhou, there is nothing wrong with He Yuzhu.

Here's what happened to him,

He and a sister are at home,

He is now 25,

His sister 18,

A few years ago, He Yuzhu's father, He Daqing, ran away with a widow.

He Yuzhu has no adults in his family, and no one cares about his marriage.

He Yuzhu, people are more realistic, but they are a bit of a knife mouth tofu heart,

It's easy to offend people, and I heard that I accidentally offended the matchmaker.

When he looks for a partner, he mainly looks at whether the person is good or not, and he doesn't care whether the other party is from the countryside or the daughter of a big businessman. ”

"That's it." Zhou Shan hesitated for a moment and whispered to Zhou Qiang: "Xiaoqiang, you are not an outsider, I will tell you directly."

My daughter Zhou Xiaoxia, 19 years old,

Originally, she was asked to go on a blind date two years ago, but she didn't want to, she wanted to marry in the city.

If this He Yuzhu is reliable, I would like Xiaoxia to meet him.

What do you think? ”

"Xiaoxia?" Zhou Qiang recalled, a somewhat handsome little girl from the village appeared in front of him, nodded and said, "Uncle Zhou, you can try." ”

"Xiaoqiang, are you sure that He Yuzhu is okay?" Zhou Shan was not at ease and asked again.

"No problem, Uncle Zhou, you wait and talk to that He Yuzhu a few more words, and you can see for yourself how he is. By the way, He Yuzhu has a nickname 'Silly Pillar', and you can also ask what the reason is. ”

"Okay, I'll ask in person." Zhou Shan thought about what he wanted to talk to He Yuzhu about later.

"Uncle Zhou, I have some gifts for my grandmother, you can help me bring them back. This year's Chinese New Year, it is inconvenient for me to go home. ”

"Xiaoqiang, you. You don't have to give gifts, do you? Zhou Shan also knew the situation of Zhou Qiang's family, and he also felt that Zhou Qiang didn't need to give any more gifts.

"Uncle Zhou, I know in my heart, if I can give it, I will give it. When I can't afford to give it, I won't give it.

By the way, there are ten yuan, which is also for grandma. Zhou Qiang took out another ten yuan.

"No money! There is me at home, and Grandma Liu is in charge, so I don't need you to give money. Zhou Shan hurriedly pushed the money away.

"Uncle Zhou, the money is from my grandmother, you can't refuse." Zhou gave the past toughly.

"Okay." Zhou Shan had no choice but to put away the money.

"Uncle Zhou, this is the canned food and snacks I gave to my grandmother.

This is something given by He Yuzhu, I was going to ask someone from the commune to help introduce the object, but now I am looking for you to help, this thing will be given to you. ”

"Okay." Zhou Shan pushed and put it away.

"Uncle Zhou, I asked He Yuzhu to come in, and I said that you want to help him introduce the object, and I want to know more about him."

"Okay, I'll just ask."

A moment later.

He Yuzhu came in.

"Hello, Captain Zhou." He Yuzhu was a little nervous.

"Hello, He Yuzhu, you and Xiaoqiang both live in the courtyard, you"

"I have a salary of more than 30 a month, I have two rooms at home, my sister is 18, and I am looking for a job,

Not only do I know the Tan family cuisine, but I also worked as an apprentice in several restaurants.

I know Sichuan cuisine, and I also know some other cuisines.

I can cook, and I make all the small stoves in the factory. ”

"I heard that you also have a nickname called 'Silly Pillar', what's going on?"

"Xiaoqiang also said this?" He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed, "That, I'm definitely not stupid, you can see this."

That's my nickname, that's what it's all about.

It was four or eight years, and my dad and I were selling steamed buns on the street.

It was supposed to sell well.

As a result, rebels passed by.

They want to grab buns.

I was in a hurry, so I ran away with the bun.

The rebels were chasing after them.

In this way, I chased a few alleys and got rid of them.

Then, at this time, I met a boss who wanted to buy steamed buns.

I sold it to him.

But the boss gave fake money.

I took the fake money back and gave it to my dad.

My dad laughed and scolded me for being a 'stupid pillar', and that's it, I got my nickname. ”

"I see." Zhou Shan nodded, he didn't think He Yuzhu was stupid.

"Captain Zhou, what else do you have to ask?"

"That, He Yuzhu, what kind of object do you want to find?"

"It's okay to be a good person, and it's easy to talk about everything else."

"Don't dislike the countryside? Rural girls have no jobs and no food supplies. ”

"Don't dislike it, I'm a cook, so I can't miss a bite to eat."

"That's fine, I'll bring it in a few days. They will come into the city and meet you. "Zhou Shan almost said, 'Take a girl' into the city.

"Okay, good, thank you Captain Zhou, if it can be done, there will be a generous gift." He Yuzhu didn't know that what was in front of him was the 'quasi-old man'.

Next.

Zhou Tong's father and son were taken away by Zhang Daliang and Zhou Shan.

"Uncle Ma, thank you." Zhou Qiang expressed his gratitude.

"No thanks. Xiaoqiang, if you have anything in the future, come to me. ”

A few polite words, farewell and leave.

Outside.

"Xiaoqiang, Captain Zhou said that he would bring someone to meet me in a few days." The smile on He Yuzhu's face was obvious.

"Very good, Brother Zhuzi, I wish you to find a suitable partner as soon as possible.

I'll pick up Xiaofang and Xiaojuan, and go first. Zhou Qiang left He Yuzhu alone and pedaled the tricycle away.

It's not early, Zhou Qiang doesn't hurry up, and he will miss the end of school.

"Isn't it time to buy a bike?" He Yuzhu secretly calculated, "But I don't have a bicycle ticket." ”

When Zhou Qiang arrived at the elementary school, he was still a little late.

However, Zhou Juan and Zhou Fang didn't leave, they waited for Zhou Qiang. Because, Zhou Qiang said that he would come to pick them up.

"Xiaojuan, Xiaofang get in the car!"

"Here, second brother!"

"I've been delayed today."

"It's okay, second brother."

The four brothers and sisters of the Zhou family went home together.

"Wash your hands first." After arriving home, Zhou Qiang asked his younger siblings to wash their hands first.

After Zhou Qiang washed his hands carefully, he began to cook.

Zhou Sheng washed his hands faster this time, and after he finished washing, he hurriedly took out the bag of snacks, "Second brother, can you eat it?" ”

"You can eat it, Xiao Sheng, first give you a piece of Sister Xiaojuan, then give you a piece of Sister Xiaofang, and finally you will eat again."

"Okay, second brother." Zhou Sheng was very obedient. He didn't dare to be coquettish or anything. If it is in front of his parents, he may be coquettish.

"Sister Xiaojuan, give." Zhou Sheng first gave Zhou Juan a piece of snack.

Zhou Juan took it carefully. She didn't eat it directly.

"Sister Xiaofang, give." Zhou Sheng continued to give Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang also took it carefully. She started eating directly.

Zhou Sheng also began to eat dim sum as well.

"Second brother, why don't you eat it?" Zhou Juan asked.

"Second brother doesn't like to eat, you can eat." Zhou Qiang replied casually. He really wasn't that interested in dim sum or something.

"Second brother, I. I don't like to eat either. Zhou Juan's eyes were red, and she seemed to understand what Zhou Qiang meant.

"Huh?" Zhou Qiang looked back at Zhou Juan, and immediately understood what Zhou Juan meant, obviously Zhou Juan misunderstood.

"Xiaojuan, the second brother is not reluctant to eat, he really doesn't like to eat, the second brother likes to eat white noodles and meat, and he doesn't like to eat snacks, do you think the second brother eats the most meat and white noodles?" Zhou Qiang explained a few words.

"Yes." Zhou Juan nodded. She knew that what Zhou Qiang said was right.

"So, Xiaojuan, eat quickly, don't think so much.

The second brother has earned more than a dozen yuan these days.

In addition, the white noodles and meat at home are all exchanged for fishing.

The family's money is not only not less, but also more.

You don't have to worry about your family.

Just study hard. Zhou Qiang touched Zhou Juan's head.

Zhou Juan nodded, "Second brother, are you not going to school anymore?" ”

"Xiaojuan, I have learned the content of the book, and it is in vain to go to school, and when I wait for the final exam, I will definitely be able to take the first exam."

"Really? Second brother. ”

"Of course. Xiaojuan, you also have to strive to be the first in the exam. ”

"Okay, second brother, I must be the first in the exam." Zhou Juan's tone was firm.

"Second brother, I'm also going to be the first in the exam." Zhou Fang shouted.

"Second brother, I. I want it too. Zhou Sheng also shouted. Although he still doesn't understand what's going on.

"Okay, whoever is the first in the exam will be rewarded with a dollar."

About the police station, He Yuzhu said it.

The people in the miscellaneous courtyard all knew that the people who came to Zhou's house to make trouble were arrested and sent to labor reform.

After that, Zhou Qiang's ears were a lot clearer.

Before, there were always people who played the idea of Zhou Qiang's family's job quota, compensation, and house.

They always have to ask: "Zhou Qiang, I will pay a high price to buy your job quota, okay?" ”

It is said that it is a high price, but it is actually a price that bullies people.

Of course, Zhou Qiang refused.

However, there are always people who ask and are upset.

After this incident, Director Ma Dongma and Director Wang Xiuping and Wang helped Zhou Qiang in a down-to-earth manner, so that many people understood that Zhou Qiang was not easy to bully, and he didn't dare to fight Zhou Qiang's idea again.
