Chapter 110 Qin Shigui's Inquiries and Considerations
The three of them were chatting and drinking, and Nan Yi also congratulated Hu Kui on his regular appointment. After taking this step, he can apply for a rating after his skills are somewhat improved.
After drinking a few drinks, Lin Jiaguo looked at Hu Kui and said softly: "Kuizi, my master knows your attitude. If you want to have that intention, you must think it over carefully."
"If the girl hesitates, you don't have to force it. After all, you know your situation best. In this life, everything will be happy for your family and your family. Do you understand?"
Hu Kui nodded. He knew what the master meant. Don't try to trick the girl on this matter. Just do it as it should be. Otherwise, when the girl comes in, your life will not last long and it will not be good for anyone.
Nan Yi was confused when he heard it, so he asked. Hu Kui didn't hide anything and said it. After listening, Nan Yi nodded and said: "Your master is right about this. You are still young. If it is true,
If it’s not appropriate, then we’ll wait until you leave the army, and the situation will be different by then.”
"On the one hand, your conditions will become better, and on the other hand, your younger brothers and sisters will also grow up. By then, the conditions in all aspects will improve, and it will be easier to find a suitable one."
Hu Kui nodded again. He thought the same way in his heart. For the sake of this family, it was okay for him to suffer a little. As long as life gets better and better, he would be satisfied.
"Now it depends on the girl's choice." Lin Jiaguo said meaningfully, looking at Hu Kui and saying: "If she really dares to make up her mind at this time, Kui Zi, you will really meet your lover."
Nan Yi also smiled and nodded. If you have a woman who dares to endure hardships with you, then the difficulties standing in front of a family will not be a problem.
"If she really dares, Kuizi, you have to be kind to others all your life. People will live with you in hard times. In good times, you have to make others live better."
"This person has been like this all his life. The one who has been with you the longest is this woman."
"I understand." Hu Kui smiled honestly, Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi also laughed, and the three of them drank and boasted.
Liang Ladi watched the three of them drinking, then brought a plate of peanuts from home and put it on the table, and then went to Li Xiuzhi's house.
When he entered the house, he saw Qin Jingru and said hello.
It is said that three women make a show, let alone four women. From time to time, laughter could be heard from the room.
Outside, the third uncle Yan Bugui saw the three of them drinking, so he also brought the wine over and joined them.
After getting a little drunk, they dispersed. After Hu Kui entered the room and said goodbye to a few people, he was about to leave. Qin Jingru looked at Hu Kui, didn't think much about it, and said that she was going to buy something for Xiaodang San.
, also walked out.
Everyone smiled, "Girl, the supply and marketing cooperative is indeed open at night, but if you want to buy something, can't you do it tomorrow?"
After walking out of the courtyard gate, Qin Jingru and Hu Kui walked a short distance together. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
Seeing that she was about to go too far if she didn't say anything, Qin Jingru gritted her teeth and said with a slight blush on her face: "Hu Kui, are you looking for someone younger than you in the future?"
When she spoke, Hu Kui became less nervous, but he still said a little cautiously: "I don't have that idea. It doesn't matter if you are younger than me or older than me."
As he spoke, his expression became serious and he said resolutely: "My idea is to take care of a family. My grandma has a hard time raising us brothers and sisters. Sister Jingru, before I met the master, my family lived a very happy life."
It’s painful, I don’t want my younger siblings to go through that kind of life again.”
Having said this, he said with a naive smile: "I just thought that I would support my grandma in the future, and then raise my younger brothers and sisters, so that I could be worthy of my dead parents."
"If I really get married, I will work harder and make this family better."
His attitude was still so resolute. Qin Jingru could hear it. While she was confused, she was also very happy. Such a man was really reliable.
The topic came up, and the two of them walked a little slower. As they walked, they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Hu Kui bought some things. The two of them ate and chatted again, and then walked back slowly.
When Qin Jingru returned to the courtyard with the snacks she bought to give to Banggan's three children, Qin Huairu always felt something was wrong when looking at her smile.
Suddenly she thought of Hu Kui. This girl must have had some thoughts.
What if the two of them can make it? Qin Huairu's expression changed as she thought about it.
On the one hand, the situation of Hu Kui's family is not very good. They have a family to support!
On the other hand, even if she had some ideas, she would have a headache when she thought about her master Lin Jiaguo and the Lin Jiaguo family's clever family. Those little ideas probably wouldn't be of much use.
After thinking about it, she didn't ask Qin Jingru. She waited until she asked for leave tomorrow and went home, brought her uncle Qin Shigui, thanked Hu Kui's family, and asked Qin Jingru to go back.
Anyway, she can't make it with Silly Zhu now, so don't bother herself. If this thing doesn't work out, the next thing will still give her a headache.
The next day, Qin Huairu first went to the steel rolling mill to ask for leave. After explaining the reasons, the request for leave went smoothly. After all, everyone knew that Hu Kui was commended by the radio broadcast.
After asking for leave, Qin Huairu returned to the village. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Jingru's father Qin Shigui came to the courtyard with Qin Huairu. Seeing that his girl was fine, he was completely relieved.
After Qin Jingru explained the matter clearly, he handed the remaining seventeen yuan to his father. Qin Shigui did not accept it, but looked at his girl and said: "Jingru, since it is a reward from the leader, you should keep it."
Qin Jingru listened, took out two more yuan, handed the remaining fifteen yuan to her father, and said with a smile: "Dad, isn't my brother thinking about the girl in the next village? You can use this money first, just in time to save my brother."
The marriage is decided."
As soon as he heard this, Qin Shigui hesitated, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Daughter, just think that your brother borrowed this money from you."
Thinking of his eldest son's marriage, Qin Shigui made a decision. With the fifteen yuan, it would be much easier to do things.
However, this money cannot be paid in vain. My eldest son wants to pay it back. Even though he is a member of the family, he must be able to pay it back.
Qin Jingru, who knew her father's temper, didn't say much. She nodded and smiled. This can be regarded as another gain. She didn't succeed on her side, but her brother got a chance. Well, it's not bad.
After chatting for a while, the father and daughter went out to buy some things and came to thank them. They had to be polite and couldn't come empty-handed.
Qin Huairu wanted to go too, but Qin Jingru said that she was already familiar with the roads around here. Qin Huairu thought about it and didn't go there. She was cooking and waiting at home.
After leaving the courtyard, Qin Shigui looked at his daughter and asked about the blind date. Qin Jingru told some things. When he heard that it didn't work, Qin Shigui was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything. His daughter is not a lazy person, so she has no worries.
Marry, as a father, he just hopes that his daughter will live a better life in the future.
After walking for a while, Qin Jingru thought about Hu Kui and hesitated. She still had not made up her mind. She looked at her father and wanted to ask.
"Dad, it's still early, let's go to the park and sit first." Qin Shigui was stunned when he heard this, looked at his daughter, he thought for a moment, and then nodded.
Qin Jingru first went to buy a pack of cigarettes for her father, and then came to the park. The father and daughter found a place to sit down.
"Daughter, has something happened to you?" There is no better father than a good daughter. When he saw his daughter in this state, he knew something was wrong.
Looking at her father, Qin Jingru's face turned red, she gritted her teeth and told what happened about Hu Kui. Qin Shigui smoked a cigarette and listened quietly.
After Qin Jingru finished speaking, Qin Shigui smoked in silence. After a while, he raised his head, looked at his daughter, and said seriously: "Girl, if Hu Kui really has such an attitude, dad can tell you that he is a man who is the head of the family."
An elder brother is like a father. Qin Shigui has lived to this age. There are many such situations in the surrounding villages. You have to admire anyone who dares to make such a decision.
Looking at his daughter, Qin Shigui changed the topic and said: "Girl, you have to think carefully about such a decision. If you really want to make a decision, you have to be prepared to live a hard life."
"If you just have a hot head, it will not only harm you, but also others, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Qin Jingru nodded heavily. This was what she was struggling with, because she was worried that she would not have the ability to support a family.
Qin Shigui lit another cigarette, narrowed his eyes and said, "Girl, tell me about Hu Kui again."
He knew that his daughter had this tendency, so he had to find out Hu Kui's situation.
As a man, he admired Hu Kui's attitude, but as a father, he had to understand one thing: whether Hu Kui was strong-willed or powerless in making such a decision.
If it is because of a weak will, I admire her, but my daughter should not even think about it. When the time comes, life will not be able to survive, and everyone will suffer.
But if he is strong-minded and his daughter dares to make a decision, he will agree.
Because such a man is reliable, has such a sense of responsibility, and is not afraid that he will treat his wife badly. It doesn't matter if life is a little hard at first. If he can make it through, that is hope.
Finding a reliable man for his daughter was his greatest wish as a father.
Qin Jingru didn't know what her father was thinking, so she told what she knew about Hu Kui in the past few days. Qin Shigui smiled as he listened.
Looking at the people in the park, he narrowed his eyes, took out two dollars, and said to his daughter Qin Jingru: "You go buy something first, and I'll sit here for a while."
Qin Jingru was stunned, came to her senses, and after asking what she wanted to buy, she took the money and went to buy something.
As soon as she left, Qin Shigui took the cigarette and found some old men walking around. After passing the cigarettes, they started chatting.
"Old man, isn't there a matchmaker who wants to introduce my daughter to Hu Kui? I was thinking about asking about him." Qin Shigui started talking directly. Upon hearing this, several old men suddenly understood, and then they started chatting about Hu Kui.
Kui's matter.
After a while, several old ladies and aunts also joined in. Qin Shigui asked some questions from time to time, and listened the rest of the time.
Slowly, he came to the conclusion that Hu Kui had a good reputation and was reliable in his work, but the situation at home was a bit difficult.
Qin Shigui knew in his mind that the family situation was difficult. It was a problem, but it was not a problem. As long as the people were reliable, life would be easy. How easy was that family's life in the countryside now?
"Xiao Qin, if your daughter really likes Hu Kui, I think you should agree." An old man happily smoked the cigarette Qin Shigui handed him and said with a smile: "The child's path is already clear.
, now that his job has become regular, his master is Lin Jiaguo again."
"When your skills are more advanced, you can rate them. Then your salary will be increased, and as a chef, you won't be short of food."
Everyone nodded, and another uncle said: "That's the reason. The kid in my country is already quite famous for his craftsmanship. He can accept Hu Kui as his apprentice because he values Hu Kui's ability to follow this path."
"I don't know how many young men in our area want to be apprentices to Lin Jiaguo, but Lin Jiaguo has no intention of doing so."
Qin Shigui understood that Hu Kui's master, Lin Jiaguo, was very skilled in craftsmanship, and Hu Kui was valued by him, which proved that Hu Kui could do well in this industry in the future.
At this time, an old lady also smiled and said: "Hu Kui, that kid is very thoughtful. If he hadn't said that he wanted to take care of a family, I don't know how many matchmakers would have come to visit."
"It is true that the child's family is in trouble, but his grandmother, Mrs. Liu, is a capable head of the household. Not to mention her strong body, she has taught her grandchildren to be sensible."
"That is to say, Hu Kui is still young. Otherwise, if there is a suitable girl in this family, he will consider it. This life is what it is. As long as the man is reliable, life will be hard at first and will gradually get better in the future.
.”
Everyone nodded and agreed. After living to this age, they all understand one truth, that is, if a family has a reliable man, the family will not suffer so much, because there is Bentou, and people are alive, isn't it?
Do you want to have a head start?
"That is to say, girls are choosing Hu Kui now. In a few years, when Hu Kui can live a better life, Hu Kui will be the one choosing." An old man said with some regret, this man
Well, everyone wants to live a good life, but the determination to live a hard life is not so easy to make.
Girls have to choose the right one, and parents also have to choose the right one. At this stage, the attitude of people here towards Hu Kui is "waiting for appreciation".
First of all, he is still young, but even a few years later, he is still a young man.
Secondly, when he leads a better life, the girl will be satisfied, and so will his parents.
Although this idea seems selfish, people are selfish. Such selfishness does not harm Hu Kui and his family, so it is very reasonable.
Qin Shigui also understood that at this stage, Hu Kui was in the position of being "chosen". After a few years, when his life improved, he would choose someone else.
To put it in the most intuitive terms, given our own conditions, Hu Kui’s standards will be raised in a few years.
When life is good, who wouldn’t want to find a place with relatively better conditions to live a good life? Of course, the more prosperous the better.
After knowing in his heart, Qin Shigui chatted for a while before leaving. Now, it was not him who could make the decision, but his daughter, because she was the one who had to live her life.
In the evening, Qin Huairu took Qin Jingru and his daughter to Hu Kui's house with their things.
Grandma Hu Kui entertained the three of them politely, and the family's father personally came to thank them as a gift.
It was the first time for Qin Jingru to come to Hu Kui's house. Seeing that the house was a little messy, she took Hu Kui's two younger sisters and started chatting.
Qin Shigui also observed the house and talked to Grandma Hu Kui. After chatting for a while, he had an idea. It seemed that what he heard in the park was not an exaggeration. This old lady was really the head of the house.
The old lady also looked at Qin Jingru from time to time at this time. She had seen some changes in her grandson Hu Kui in the past two days. When his wife Li Xiuzhi came over to say something, the old lady knew better.
However, she didn't dare to say more. Although she wanted Hu Kui to start a family as soon as possible, she knew her grandson's temperament and would do what she said. She couldn't dissuade him.
Fortunately, Hu Kui has found his way out now, and the old lady is not too worried. She can only wait a few years. She can afford to wait. By then, her grandson will definitely be able to find a wife and live a better life.
After chatting for a while, Qin Shigui and the other three said goodbye and left. Hu Kui looked at Qin Jingru's leaving figure and sighed in his heart.
Looking at her grandson, the old lady also sighed slightly. Such a decision is not something that can be made easily. This girl does not dislike the poor and loves the rich, because she is the one who has to live her life.
But he said that Qin Huairu and the others returned to the courtyard, and after eating, Qin Shigui was ready to leave with Qin Jingru.
"Uncle, if you don't understand before you leave, you can go to Shazhu's place and spend the night tonight." Qin Huairu spoke out, on the one hand it was out of politeness to persuade him to stay, and on the other hand, he also wanted his uncle Qin Shigui and Shazhu to stay.
Let's talk, maybe there will be a turning point.
"No need." Qin Shigui shook his head and said with a smile: "Today has been delayed for a day. I will go back tonight. I have something to do tomorrow."
After saying a few words, the father and daughter left. Qin Huairu sent them out of the courtyard, then turned around and went home. Okay, let's continue to have a headache about how to deal with the next thing.
Qin Jingru and his daughter were walking on the alley. Unknowingly, Qin Jingru slowed down and Qin Shigui did not rush her. He knew that his daughter was hesitating.
As she walked, Qin Jingru looked at the road to Hu Kui's house. She stopped, gritted her teeth, and said to her father Qin Shigui: "Dad, wait for me for a while, I will thank Hu Kui before leaving."
"Okay!" Qin Shigui nodded. He didn't know what decision his daughter would make. This was her choice.
Qin Jingru's face turned slightly red, and she walked away. She came to Hu Kui's house with a red face. After thanking her, she said she was leaving. After saying that, she didn't know what to say. When the old lady looked at it, she narrowed her eyes and said:
"Kuizi, send me to Jingru. It's fate that you two met."
Hu Kui nodded and followed Qin Jingru out. The two of them walked very slowly. Qin Jingru took a deep breath, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and said with a blushing face: "Hu Kui, do you have any thoughts about me?"
"Yes!" Hu Kui nodded. At this time, he was very calm and not restrained. He looked at Qin Jingru and said: "Sister Jingru, with this condition, I dare not speak now because I have no reason to ask you to follow me.
Live a hard life."
After listening, Qin Jingru also became calmer. She raised her head and looked at Hu Kui carefully. After taking a deep breath, she exhaled and said seriously: "Hu Kui, give me five days to think about it. If I come back in five days, you can go."
My family is a matchmaker, and if I don’t come back in five days, we will treat it as if we have met a friend.”
Hu Kui listened and looked at Qin Jingru seriously. He nodded heavily and said word by word: "Okay, if you come back in five days, I will ask the master to find a matchmaker and marry you."
Qin Jingru smiled, told Hu Kui not to send him any more, then turned around and left. The five days were spent thinking about her new life in the future.
