Qin Jingru moved forward pitifully, with a cute and fawning look on her face.
Qin Huairu glanced at the arm holding the baggage tightly. She turned her head and said coquettishly: "Don't talk to me, I'm angry."
Qin Jingru grinned, rubbed Qin Huairu's side with her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Sister, don't be angry, I don't even have thirty yuan, how can I compare with you?"
"Actually, I'm not lazy either. It's not like you don't know the jobs in the village. Some of them I really don't want to do. I managed to save this little money."
Qin Huairu was not really angry, she knew very well what day it was in the village.
Sixty or seventy yuan a year, there are fewer women, and they have to eat. The first four years, that is, last year, were better. It would be good if Qin Jingru can save some money.
"I did all the work back then, but I'm not like you, I'm just lazy! Do you think people only look at their looks when looking for a partner? Whether you can do it or not is one thing, but whether you can do it or not is another!"
"Even if a man cares about his face, how can this mother-in-law care about her face? I should marry you off to Xilihutu! Then let your husband's family discipline you."
Of course Qin Jingru didn't dare to talk back. She lowered her head and said nothing, with a look of resentment on her face.
Qin Huairu did not reprimand her. The work in the village was indeed not easy. It was not just the work done by women, but also a lot of physical work. Women were really not good at doing those things.
"Look, you are bringing it with you. As long as you can bring money with you, you can also take the experience seriously."
"Sister, what is going on? It still costs a lot of money?" Qin Jingru looked worried. Of course she felt very distressed when she spent the little money she finally earned.
Qin Huairu scolded her with a serious face: "If you just think about getting married in the city, who will support you when you get there?"
"It just so happens that you have saved some money and can go to the city to spend it. Although it is a small amount, it is barely enough to live on."
"It's quite a lot." Qin Jingru muttered, and then asked, "Sister, do I have to live there for a long time? If not, I can just go back to the village and wait for news. How much will it cost to live there forever?
Huh? I don’t have any work to do, and I can’t even afford food.”
You can definitely use food stamps in the village, but most of the time you can directly exchange them for work points.
It's different when you get to the city. You need a ticket to buy things, and places that don't require tickets are very expensive!
Qin Jingru, on the other hand, does not have a city registered permanent residence, has no job, and cannot even receive food stamps in the city. It is okay to stay for two days. If she really wants to live here, she must have a job, register in the street, and then receive various
bill.
"You still want me to find a job for you?"
Qin Huairu's eyes widened, then he turned his head and stopped looking at her, and said nonchalantly: "Don't you have money? As long as you have money."
"Then I won't do it. If that person can't do it this time, I will go back to the village to live." Qin Jingru was not happy either.
Qin Huairu scolded: "Okay, if you don't want to spend money, come back when you come back. Don't regret it then!"
"I really don't know what you are thinking, girl. As long as there is a serious working man, why can't he be paid nearly twenty yuan a month? Your sister and I both have a salary of twenty-seven and a half yuan."
Qin Jingru was shocked when she heard this and shouted, "Sister, you get twenty-seven and a half yuan a month? Didn't you just join the factory?"
The people waiting for the bus next to me were just peeking, but when they heard this, they turned their heads in shock and stopped pretending to peek.
The male labor force is 10 work points a day, and the female labor force is 8 work points a day. Generally, men in the village can have 3,000 work points a year, and adult women can have 2,400 work points.
Last year's harvest was good. A work point in Qin Jingru's village was more than 27 cents, and an adult man earned more than 80 yuan. She added the year-end dividends, and the total was only 60 yuan. It was only 5 yuan a month, which was five times less than Qin Huairu's.
.
Qin Huairu glanced over indifferently. She didn't explain anything, but said calmly: "If I don't have money in my hand, how can I change my outfit?"
Qin Jingru looked at it from top to bottom, her eyes full of envy. She had sneaked over and rubbed it countless times. She had to touch it even if she couldn't afford it. It felt a little tight, and she didn't know if it was comfortable or not.
"Sister, how much does your outfit cost?" Qin Jingru asked in a low voice.
Qin Huairu said calmly: "How much are the clothes? You can go shopping by yourself when you get to the city, but it will definitely be more expensive than you think."
The clothes were bought during the Chinese New Year. In fact, she originally didn't want to buy such good clothes, but she couldn't resist Yi Chuanzong and let her buy them.
And I set a rigid target, 'Don't try to trick me. If you buy something that doesn't look good, change it again, and keep changing it until I'm satisfied.'
Qin Huairu had to change it twice to meet the requirements. Finally, she added a red cashmere scarf, which cost a total of seventy-eight dollars, which made her feel distressed for several days.
But it was worth it. When I returned home this year, not only were the two elders at home shocked, but everyone in the village who had heard about it came over to take a look.
Qin Jingru puffed out her cheeks and was a little dissatisfied. He didn't tell her and let her go shopping by herself. She asked hesitantly: "Then... can I afford it?"
Qin Huairu's eyes were very surprised, "You?" Then he replied with a hint of humor, "Absolutely."
Qin Jingru also turned her head and stopped talking. It was clear that she didn't think highly of her.
After standing for a while, Qin Huairu said softly: "Sister, I know that it is not easy to save thirty yuan for you. Even if you exchange your work points for a year, you still don't have sixty yuan. You have to save this little money for three or four years. Since you were a child, one day
I started saving only six work points and have been saving until now."
"But you are looking for a partner! Why do you want to marry in the city? There are many opportunities to make money in the city, you don't have to earn work points, the environment in the city is superior, and life is convenient. All of this costs money!"
"With your thirty yuan, people can earn it in a month. You are a girl in the village, and they expect you to come with money when they come to you? Who doesn't know that village girls don't have money, and who doesn't know that people in the village save money?"
Don’t have money? What grown man would count on a woman?”

"The most important thing you should do is to use the limited money you have to change yourself. Not to mention how culturally you become, or to dress yourself in fancy clothes. At the very least, you have to adapt to the life in the city, so that you can find the right person."
The person you want to be with, don’t act like a villager. People will look down on you at a glance, so how can you expect them to like you?"
"While you are unmarried and living alone without anyone to rely on, you can quickly familiarize yourself with the city's habits, gain insights, and change your thinking. Your sister and I stayed here for two years before we became familiar with the city.
Life. You can hurry up."
Qin Jingru looked confused when she heard this and said blankly: "Then what should I do?"
Qin Huairu glanced towards the end of the cement path, and saw a yellow dot that was getting bigger and bigger. It was the urban-rural bus leading to Sijiu City.
"Why do you want to live in the city? Isn't it just to let you get used to it more and think about what you can do? You have to think about these things yourself, and you have to see them by yourself. What can you see in the village? And
What can you figure out?"
"Come on, the bus is here. Let's go back first and talk in detail when we get to the city."
This time the bus stopped more skillfully and finally got the right spot. Maybe the driver noticed the beautiful scenery under the stop sign.
The door happened to be facing Qin Huairu, and the two sisters were lucky enough to find the seats. When everyone got on, the bus slowly drove towards Sijiu City, and the conductor also started checking tickets at this time.
It took nearly an hour for the two sisters to arrive at Sijiucheng. They took another bus and got off at the Nanluoguxiang bus station.
At this time, Qin Huairu began to talk about Si Zhu's situation, "The person who is going to go on a blind date with you this time doesn't have any serious problems."
"He is a chef at the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant. His cooking skills are pretty good. He earns thirty-three yuan a month."
"Thirty-three yuan? That much?" Qin Jingru exclaimed.
Qin Huairu looked serious and shouted: "You say it or me? You are yelling, why are you looking at me like this? I'll get you under the covers tonight."
"Can you be a little reserved? Just hurry up and give it to people, so they can look up to you? I don't know that what a man can't get is the best, and he should cherish what is not easy to get?"
Qin Jingru smiled coquettishly, "Sister, you say it, you say it."
Qin Huairu glared at her again before continuing: "This person's conditions are pretty normal. I can't say how good he is, but he's not bad either. He should have saved some money after being single for so many years. He's a cook, so he's not hungry.
, which can be regarded as a relatively stable choice.”
"But this man is older, two years younger than me, and he is twenty-eight today. What's more important is that he doesn't get married at such an old age and wants to find a woman in the village. This is the reason."
Qin Jingru asked with timid eyes: "Isn't this person disabled? Sister, that's not possible. It's okay to be older. I'm a young girl, and I can't marry a disabled person no matter what."
"That's not true. People are relatively normal. At least I haven't heard of anything wrong with this person's health." Qin Huairu said casually.
Instead of being comforted, Qin Jingru had a thought in her mind, "Sister, is this person incompetent?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Qin Huairu waved her hands and shouted: "How can I know if it's okay?"
"But he is in such a hurry to find a wife. There should be nothing wrong with his health. I haven't seen him take any medicinal herbs from the doctor."
"The problem is this man's reputation."
Qin Jingru murmured, "Reputation? Could it be that he has committed some crime?"
"That's not the case."
"That's the name of this man. His real name is He Yuzhu, but others call him Silly Zhu."
Qin Jingru had a constipated expression on her face.
"Silly pillar?"
Qin Huairu said with a comforting look on her face: "Don't worry, I can't call you a fool."
"Although this person is called Silly Zhu, it is a nickname given by his father. In fact, this person is not stupid, but his brain circuit is a little different, and sometimes he does things a little strangely."
Qin Jingru said with a bitter look on her face, "Isn't that still stupid?"
Qin Huairu scolded, "We're going to the yard soon, don't talk to people like that. If people hear you, what will the neighbors think of you?"
"Okay." Qin Jingru nodded quickly.
Just as he was talking, a strong aunt walked towards her.
"Damn BangGeng, have you returned to the village?"
Qin Huairu glanced sideways, her eyes seeming to say, 'Look, if someone takes a quick look, you are from the village.'
There is nothing wrong with the people in the village, but it is difficult for people to take a good look at her. Whether a beautiful girl is from the village or not, people will have two different minds when looking at her.
The aunt's scrutinizing eyes made Qin Jingru feel a little nervous. She stupidly hugged the bundle and lowered her head even further.
"Hello, Aunt Zhang. This is my cousin, Qin Jingru. She is about the same age. She is looking for a partner and plans to stay at my house for a while."
Qin Huairu turned around and pulled her, "Come and say hello, this is Aunt Zhang from the next door yard. Uncle Zhang is in charge of affairs in the neighborhood committee. Her two sons are also promising, and they happen to be old enough."
It was okay not to say so. Qin Jingru felt even more nervous when she heard this. She shyly greeted in a low voice: "Hello, Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang's eyes became more serious, she looked her up and down again, and nodded with satisfaction, "The girl is pretty enough. There is no problem in marrying her in the city. She will definitely find a suitable partner."
Qin Jingru was still shy there. Qin Huairu chatted with Aunt Zhang for a few more words and then took her away.
"Sister, how is this person?"
"How about who?"
Qin Jingru said seriously: "That's the eldest son in the aunt's family just now. Didn't you just say that he works in the workplace?"
Qin Huairu was slightly startled. Hearing these words, it means that he is no longer satisfied with Sha Zhu. This is good. Sha Zhu still dares to think about her and makes her man uncomfortable for nothing. Isn't this adding trouble?
Immediately, Qin Huairu laughed angrily at her cousin's seriousness, "You, you, people can figure out your background at a glance. You want to marry well, and they also want to marry well, so get married early."
They didn’t consider you!”
"Just a few polite words, you said something that everyone wants to hear, and you took it seriously. As stupid as you are, it's a good thing you came with me, otherwise, in less than two days, you will definitely let people
Clean up the lie!"
Qin Jingru had a look of collapse on her face, "Ah~ how could this be possible? You people in the city are so mean-spirited! You know how to lie."
"Who are you talking about?"
Qin Huairu said angrily: "Let's go, we are about to enter the courtyard. Why do you have to live here for a while? Let me talk to you."
"When you meet people, it doesn't matter whether you recognize them or not. They all live here. You have to say hello to them. Do you expect people to be curious and ask you who you are and how famous you are?"
"You don't know me now, but you have known me after living here for a while. Don't open your mouth! Be polite. In fact, the people in the courtyard are pretty easy to talk to. It's okay to establish a relationship in advance."
"In addition to Shazhu's family, there is also my family. Pay special attention to the four, or rather five, families in this yard."
Qin Jingru was a little confused, "Are they four or five? What do they do?"
Qin Huairu waved her hand, "We'll talk about this later. Let me first tell you about a bad guy in the yard. He lives in the backyard and his name is Xu Damao. You must stay away from him."
"Bad guy? Xu Damao?" Qin Jingru tightened her grip and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you arrest the bad guy?"
Qin Huairu said expressionlessly: "He was caught, and he has just been released. He was caught engaging in male-female relations before and was put in a cell for two days. He lost his job several times because of this matter. I'm done with this guy."
He was caught speculating again and stayed in there for more than half a year. He was not released until last year. This was because his wife had just given birth to a child and the family had no money to make, so he was given a chance.
.”
Qin Jingru looked disgusted, "Sister, how could I be with such a person? He is already married, and he is still a second-time wife. After you tell me, I will definitely stay away from him."
Qin Huairu nodded slightly. If there are still people like this who come close to him, then this cousin's brain will be lost. Just a reminder, I am afraid that Xu Damao will deceive others.
As if he sensed something, Qin Huairu said sternly: "Don't you, yours, respect others when you enter the city. As long as you are not a child, you will be used! You may not be able to please others, but you don't
If you follow the rules, you will offend others. How do you expect others to respect you? You just came here, so be careful."
Qin Jingru nodded obediently.
"Okay, sister. I understand."
Qin Huairu said again: "Next, I will tell you about the remaining three households."
