Chapter 704: Marriage

Dislike the poor and love the rich, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, this is the case.

No matter how 'good' Zhou Qiang's performance is.

After knowing that Zhou Qiang's family conditions are very poor, most women will stay away from Zhou Qiang.

Moreover, the poorer the place, the more it cares about the rich and the poor.

The conditions of Zhou Qiang's family are very poor.

The girl in the city can't look down on Zhou Qiang.

The girls in the village don't look down on Zhou Qiang.

Only Wang Meili, who is also very poor in the world, doesn't care about Zhou Qiang's 'poverty'.

Wang Meili can give up Zhou Qiang for the sake of her family.

But when her family didn't need' Wang Meili to pay, she didn't care about Zhou Qiang's family's 'poverty' and wanted to be with Zhou Qiang.

Does such a woman really exist in the world?

I don't know.

Anyway, there should be such people.

And it's the most beautiful one.

needs a strange woman like Wang Meili.

Wang Meili, she is more beautiful than Qin Jingru, more beautiful than Yu Li, and more beautiful than Qin Huairu and others.

Such a beautiful woman, with a good heart, filial piety and sensibility, takes good care of her younger brothers and sisters, and doesn't mind that the situation of Zhou Qiang's family is very poor, and she likes Zhou Qiang with all her heart.

This. Is it possible?

Maybe.

The world is so big that there are no surprises.

Zhou Qiang and Wang Meimei's engagement banquet was held at Zhou Shan's house.

Zhou Qiang specially made some delicious food.

Zhou Qiang's work is destined to be in eating and drinking, and there is no shortage.

Pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck and goose, fish and shrimp, all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables, Zhou Qiang prepared very completely.

Zhou Qiang can get these foods, it stands to reason that as long as Zhou Qiang steals the selling points, he will definitely not lack money.

But Zhou Qiang did not do so.

Zhou Qiang didn't do anything illegal.

He doesn't buy or sell on the black market, and he doesn't speculate.

He felt that it was not worth breaking the law for the sake of ordering 'things outside the body'.

Besides, it doesn't need to.

Zhou Qiang's work requires him to go to the countryside frequently, and he is subsidized when he goes to the countryside.

His monthly salary, plus subsidies, can be seventy or eighty.

He doesn't have much money to spend his money, and he can save a lot of money in a month.

Zhou Qiang's engagement banquet was more lively.

Relatives and friends of the Zhou family came.

Zhou Tong's father and son were also in the corner, rubbing a meal. After they were reformed through labor, they changed a lot, at least they didn't dare to be street slickers.

After Zhou Qiang got engaged.

The news spread quickly.

But few girls envy Wang Meimei.

They all think that Wang Meili is stupid and don't know how to find a good family.

Before, Zhou Qiang, who was high on the top, had become the object of many people's eyes, just because Zhou Qiang was 'poor'.

Qin Jingru also felt that Zhou Qiang was very ordinary, and when Zhou Qiang went to Qinjiazhuang, Qin Jingru disappeared.

She doesn't go to the ground either, she just thinks about marrying a rich man in the city every day.

Time goes on.

Zhou Qiang continued to be busy.

The days passed.

The farmers who usually respected Zhou Qiang looked down on Zhou Qiang, but they obediently completed what Zhou Qiang asked them to do.

Because they know that what Zhou Qiang said is right, and if they don't do what Zhou Qiang says, they will lose themselves.

Wang Zhuang.

Wang Meimei's home.

Zhou Qiang is here again.

Since the engagement.

The number of times Zhou Qiang came to Wangzhuang increased significantly.

Every time he came, he was not empty-handed.

The food of the Wang family has been greatly improved.

Before, the Wang family was not full.

Now, they are not only fed, but they can also eat meat.

"Brother-in-law, I want to eat beef!"

"Brother-in-law, I want to eat fish!"

"Brother-in-law, I want to eat eggs!"

"Brother-in-law, I want to eat pork belly!"

"Okay, it's all there, you can eat whatever you want." Zhou Qiang also takes good care of Wang Meimei's younger brothers and sisters.

Wang Meili has four younger siblings.

The two younger brothers, Wang Jiawen, 16 years old, and Wang Jiawu, 12 years old.

Two younger sisters, Wang Meiyun, 14 years old, and Wang Meiyan, 9 years old.

They are all good at studying, either the first in the junior high school grade or the first in the primary school grade.

They are all reading seedlings.

Under normal circumstances, they can all be admitted to university.

However, they will not have the opportunity to go to college in a short time.

"Brother Qiang, why did you bring so many things again?" Wang Meili has a pretty face and a smile.

She saw Zhou Qiang, her eyes glowing.

She admires Zhou Qiang and likes Zhou Qiang very much.

She has no regrets getting engaged to Zhou Qiang.

She didn't care about Zhou Qiang's heavy burden and a lot of foreign debts.

She is willing to work hard with Zhou Qiang and live a happy life.

She's just a bit of a 'whimsical' woman.

"Beautiful, you know, I don't lack food for this job." Zhou Qiang also slowly fell in love with Wang Meili.

This girl is a rare 'treasure girl'.

"Researcher Zhou is here? Come in and have tea. Wang Dashun's title to Zhou Qiang has not changed. He still respects Zhou Qiang. He knew that Zhou Qiang had real talent and learning, and he could really let the people of Wangzhuang live a good life.

"Uncle Wang, I brought you some tea."

"It's going to cost you money again."

"It's nothing. Uncle Wang, how about the new seeds in the ground? ”

"The new seeds have sprouted and are growing well.

The pigs are also good.

In addition, I dug up a lot of medicinal herbs in the place you pointed out.

Later, you'll be taken to the city." Wang Dashun did a lot of things under the guidance of Zhou Qiang.

Among them, digging medicinal herbs in the field can legally increase the income of the Wang family.

Zhou Qiang wants to help the Wang family, it's too easy.

There is no need for Zhou Qiang to directly take money to make up for it, he only needs to instruct Wang Dashun to do more things, and the economic situation of the Wang family can be greatly improved.

Children don't have money to go to school? This problem will be solved very quickly.

"That's good, Uncle Wang, let's take a look later."

"Okay, Researcher Zhou, I don't know how to deal with some of those medicinal herbs."

We chatted for a while about planting, breeding, medicinal herbs, and so on.

The meal was ready.

It was Wang Meili and her mother Liu Zhen who cooked together.

The ingredients brought by Zhou Qiang are very hearty and taste good.

Zhou Qiang and the Wang family ate together.

"Jiawen, have you been admitted to the secondary school?" Zhou Qiang asked. Wang Meimei's younger brother, Wang Jiawen, has a good academic performance.

"Brother-in-law, I was admitted to an agricultural school." Yes, Wang Jiawen was influenced by Zhou Qiang and was also admitted to an agricultural school.

"Agricultural school is hard, didn't it make you go to architecture school?"

"Brother-in-law, I want to be like you, to cultivate better seeds so that the big guys can have enough to eat." Wang Jiawen's eyes lit up. He found what he wanted to do.

Wang Jiawu and several others also clamored to be admitted to the agricultural school.

"You can take the exam in agricultural schools, and other schools are also good, such as architecture," Zhou Qiang chatted casually.

After eating, Zhou Qiang went to the field with Wang Dashun, Wang Meili, and some relatives of the Wang family.

Zhou Qiang walked on the field path, carefully observing each seedling.

"It's really good, Uncle Wang, you've put in a lot of effort." Every time Zhou Qiang comes, he doesn't forget to work hard.

"Researcher Zhou, we all did what you said, and we weren't lazy." Wang's beautiful second uncle, Wang Ershun replied. His family is not doing well, and he has many children.

"That's good, uncles, let's do it next." Zhou Qiang patiently instructed the big guys about breeding and planting.

I also said a lot about other medicinal herbs and so on.

Everyone's eyes were full of hope.

Under the leadership of Zhou Qiang.

Wang Dashun's family, and even the entire Wang family's relatives, and the entire Wang Zhuang, have changed rapidly.

After a month or two, there may not be much change, and there may not be much noticeable change.

After three or four months, there were some changes, but they still seemed inconspicuous.

Half a year later, every family in Wangzhuang was able to eat enough.

Such a situation came suddenly, and the people of Wangzhuang felt that this change came so quickly!

A year later.

The people of Wangzhuang are not worried, and there is no money for their children to study.

They have achieved great results in planting and breeding.

Wang Zhuang was specifically praised above.

The amount of grain distributed by Wang Zhuang's families has increased.

Other medicinal herbs, and other additional income, have also increased greatly.

Eating and drinking, a lot more relaxed.

Children go to school, no longer a problem.

No, children drop out of school to earn work at home.

The people of Wangzhuang respect Zhou Qiang in their hearts.

Some villagers who originally despised Zhou Qiang were full of respect for Zhou Qiang again.

The people in the surrounding villages also know about this situation.

Only then did they understand what kind of person Zhou Qiang was.

That's amazing!

It only took Zhou Qiang one year to make the entire village of Wangzhuang rich.

However, there are good and bad views on Zhou Qiang.

One is to respect Zhou Qiang very much.

One still despises Zhou Qiang.

It is easy to understand respect for Zhou Qiang, because Zhou Qiang can bring tangible benefits to the people.

It's simple to disrespect Zhou Qiang, because Zhou Qiang only makes other people rich, and he still owes a lot of debt.

Agricultural Science Station.

A relatively large conference room.

"In view of Comrade Zhou Qiang's excellent performance in the past year, after discussion by everyone, it was unanimously decided to give Comrade Zhou Qiang the treatment of senior technician and issue the corresponding certificate. Everyone congratulates Comrade Zhou Qiang! Wang Baoguo personally awarded Zhou Qiang a senior technician certificate.

Thunderous applause rang out.

"Thank you, thank you for your recognition!" Zhou Qiang thanked frequently.

Zhou Qiang has made great achievements in breeding, planting, pesticides, and so on.

Agricultural Science Station, over the years, has never achieved such a big result.

A few years ago, or even ten years ago, the cumulative achievements of the Agricultural Science Station were not as many as those made by Zhou Qiang in just a few years.

Zhou Qiang's research results have been popularized in the suburbs of Beijing.

The grain produced in the field, the poultry added to the farm, and so on, are all speaking with 'facts'.

Zhou Qiang's breeding technology and planting technology have greatly improved poultry production and grain output.

No one can erase such an achievement in front of them.

Wang Baoguo, the head of the Agricultural Science Station, is not a person who erases the achievements of his subordinates.

On the contrary, he is an upright person.

Zhou Qiang said that it was too fast to be promoted to senior technician in one year, and said that he should wait for five or six years at the earliest.

However, Wang Baoguo disagreed.

He said, "Zhou Qiang, since you have made achievements, I should provide you with corresponding treatment."

You are a talent, a rare agricultural talent.

As long as we are not blind, we cannot turn a blind eye to your contributions. ”

Wang Baoguo and other owners of the agricultural science station agreed to give Zhou Qiang the treatment of senior technicians.

The salary of a senior technician is one hundred.

Coupled with subsidies, since then, Zhou Qiang has not been short of money.

"Zhou Qiang, I hope you will make persistent efforts in the future and achieve greater results again."

"Definitely, I will live up to everyone's expectations."

In an alley near the compound.

A small courtyard that is not too big or too small.

In the yard.

Wang Xiuping is introducing the house to Zhou Qiang.

"Xiaoqiang, you see, this house is personal, and it can be transferred to your name.

It's just that the house is in disrepair and a bit leaky. ”

"Don't be afraid of rain leakage, just find someone to fix it. It's just, Aunt Wang, there won't be any problems with the transfer to my name, right? Zhou Qiang was worried about other things. After all, at this time, the house basically does not allow individual transactions.

"No problem, Xiaoqiang, don't worry, the transfer will be done with me, there will be no problem." Wang Xiuping has a big package.

"Aunt Wang, how much is this house?"

"Three hundred and six. If you don't have enough money, if you don't have enough, I'll lend it to you. ”

"It should be enough. Aunt Wang, after the transfer, I have to trouble you to help introduce a few skilled masters to repair the house. ”

"I've got you covered, and I can call them over now to get to work."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang."

"No thanks. Xiaoqiang, I heard that the new seeds you have cultivated have increased the yield a lot. ”

"Yes, it's an increase."

"Xiaoqiang, I also heard that you have come up with a new breeding technology, which has increased the supply of meat a lot, and it is easier for our family to buy meat."

"There's a lot of meat." What Zhou Qiang has done has begun to affect everyone's life.

The matter of the marriage room is settled.

A year has passed.

Zhou Qiang is 20 years old and Wang Meili is 18 years old.

They are all of legal age for marriage.

They can get married.

This evening.

Miscellaneous courtyard.

Zhou Qiang's house.

Zhou Juan finished her homework.

"Xiaojuan, Xiaofang, Xiaosheng, come here." Zhou Qiang wants to talk about his marriage.

"Brother, are you getting married?" Zhou Juan has already guessed. She's fifteen years old, and she's a big girl.

"Yes. Xiaojuan, Xiaofang, Xiaosheng, and the second brother met a girl from Wangzhuang.

Her name is Wang Meili.

He is eighteen years old.

She gave up the opportunity to go to high school for the sake of her younger siblings.

She was a gentle and virtuous woman

In a few days, I will marry Wang Meili home. ”

"Second brother, will Sister Mei drive us away?" Zhou Fang asked. She's twelve years old and sensible.

"No, I have already agreed with her, she will marry and take care of you and cook for you."

"Second brother, you and Sister Meili live in this big house, and I live in the next cabin with Xiaofang and Xiaosheng." Zhou Juan said.

"Xiaojuan, I borrowed a small house nearby.

Me and Beauty stayed there.

Usually, we eat over there.

When they want to go to bed at night, Xiaojuan and Xiaofang live in this big house.

Xiao Sheng lives in the cottage next door. Zhou Qiang didn't say that he bought the house, only said that he borrowed it.

"Second brother, don't you want us?" Zhou Fang immediately asked with red eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense. Second brother won't want you.

You're all old, it's time to sleep in separate rooms. Zhou Qiang said this and looked at Zhou Sheng, "Xiao Sheng, you are ten years old, and you are also a man, sleeping alone, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid! Second brother, I've long wanted to sleep alone. Zhou Sheng patted his chest and said.

"Xiaojuan, Xiaofang, Xiaosheng, let's go to the nearby house later, it is the second brother's wedding room, and in the future, your sister-in-law will cook for you there.

It's just that the house over there is not big, just two rooms, and you all go there, and you can't live there.

You're still sleeping here.

Usually, I eat and do my homework or something, and I'm all over there. ”

"Okay, second brother."

Didn't say much.

Zhou Qiang took his younger brothers and sisters to a small courtyard nearby.

It's been fixed here.

Zhou Qiang did not overhaul, nor did he engage in indoor toilets and indoor bathrooms.

However, in this small yard, there is a toilet at home.

Zhou Qiang asked the masters to work a little more to cover up the smell of the toilet.

Usually, when you go to the toilet, the smell is not too big.

"Second brother, there's no furniture here." Zhou Juan said.

"The old ones are broken, and the new ones haven't had time to buy yet. Another day I went to the thrift market and looked for some old furniture. ”

"Second brother, sister-in-law won't dislike us, right?" Zhou Juan still couldn't help but ask this question.

"No, Wang Meili has seen you, do you remember the last time we went to Zhouzhuang? There's a pretty sister who gives you candy. ”

"Huh? I remember, second brother, sister-in-law is that beautiful sister? Zhou Fang thought about it.

Zhou Qiang, I arranged for Wang Meili to meet with her younger brothers and sisters before.

It's just that Wang Meili was embarrassed and didn't explain her identity.

"That sister is good." Zhou Sheng also thought about it.

Zhou Juan nodded, they all thought that Wang Meili was good.

"So, you don't have to be afraid, Wang Meili will be good to you."

Summer 1965.

Someday.

The sound of firecrackers rang out in the courtyard.

On this day, Zhou Qiang got married.

Wang Meili lives in a nearby guest house.

Zhou Qiang borrowed a car and picked up Wang Meili over.

Cars.

The average person gets married and has a new bicycle.

Zhou Qiang borrowed a car, and this pomp was very powerful. (The car was borrowed from Lou Xiao'e.) )

In the envious eyes of everyone, Wang Meili entered the miscellaneous courtyard.

Among the onlookers was Qin Jingru.

She specially came to see Zhou Qiang get married.

This wedding pomp made Qin Jingru envious.

She thought, "I will get married in the future, and I will have this kind of pomp and circumstance." ”

"Envious, huh?" Qin Huairu was also watching, and she also envied Wang Meili. When she got married, there was no such a big scene.

"Nope." Qin Jingru was duplicitous, "That car was borrowed, and Zhou Qiang definitely couldn't afford to buy a new bicycle." ”

"Who said no, I saw it the other day, new bikes, new sewing machines, new watches, new radios, all of them." Qin Huairu looked envious.

"What? Three turns and one ring? Qin Jingru was a little unconvinced.

"That's still fake, I've seen it all." Qin Huairu was envious.

"But, sister, isn't Zhou Qiang out of money? Isn't he saddled with foreign debts? ”

"Jingru, you still don't understand? Zhou Qiang deliberately lied to you. ”

"Lying to us?"

"Yes, how can Zhou Qiang be such a capable person, how can he have no money? How can there be foreign debt? Why are you still confused? ”

"Why did he lie to us?"

"Why? Jingru, why do you say? There are more than 30 of you girls, all of whom hate the poor and love the rich, and they don't look down on Zhou Qiang, do you regret it now? ”

"What about the house? Zhou Qiang's family has two rooms, and he said that the house will be given to his younger brothers and sisters in the future, and Zhou Qiang will go to live in the farm dormitory. ”

"House? Hehe, Zhou Qiang has already borrowed the house, which is in a small courtyard nearby, with a single house and a toilet in the yard. Qin Huairu continued to envy.

"What? Borrowing a house? How can I borrow a house? ”

"This is all because Zhou Qiang has the ability, and ordinary people can't borrow it." Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru with some pity. She was thinking that if Qin Jingru married Zhou Qiang, she might be able to help their family.

Qin Jingru had nothing to say. She looked at Wang Meili not far away, she was very envious, and she also regretted that she died, "I was originally the new daughter-in-law." ”

Qian Weiguo, Wang Xiuping, Ma Dong and others helped Zhou Qiang officiate the wedding.

The miscellaneous courtyards, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui all stood aside.

He Yuzhu is a chef.

Zhou Qiang was not stingy, prepared a lot of ingredients, set up more than ten tables, and invited relatives and friends, as well as people from the courtyard, to eat together.

This wedding can envy the little daughter-in-law of the miscellaneous courtyard.

At night, they probably have to complain about their old men.
