Seeing his junior brother looking around from time to time, Xu Dahu said in order to make him relax: "Junior brother, what you have done is legendary enough. First, you were a hero saving a beauty, and then you made a five-day appointment."
"In the future, when I drink with you and brag and spank, I won't even dare to mention your brother in this regard. Otherwise, you will be the only one bragging and I won't be able to speak."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. Hu Kui looked at his senior brother, shaking his head and laughing.
"You should also speed up your pace." Lin Jiaguo looked at him and snorted: "If you drag it on any longer, you will have nothing but bragging and spanking."
Xu Dahu chuckled, ran to Master Li Xiuzhi, and said: "Master, I don't want to hear you talk about this today, it's very heartbreaking."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed. When Xu Dahu intervened, everyone started talking. Being "concentrated", Xu Dahu was speechless. My junior brother, your brother and I have been put on the spot today.
As time passed, everyone became quiet and looked at the sky. The anticipation in Hu Kui's eyes slowly faded. She probably won't come!
Lin Jiaguo was smoking a cigarette and thinking about how to comfort his second apprentice. This little flame of first love seemed to be extinguished.
After a while, Hu Kui still didn't see anyone, so he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Master, she probably won't come. You are tired of waiting together. Go home first."
When Grandma Hu Kui heard this, she sighed slightly and thought it was just a matter of fate.
With that said, Hu Kui came over to talk to the old lady and the mistress, urging them to go home.
Just as he was saying that he could figure it out and asked everyone not to worry about him, he saw the smiles of the old lady and his wife.
Smile? Hu Kui suddenly trembled, and then turned around quickly.
Not far away, a familiar figure was walking over. Hu Kui smiled and then ran over.
"Go home, go home, give people some space." Lin Jiaguo chuckled, and everyone laughed, and then they all went to Hu Kui's house.
At this time, Hu Kui ran to Qin Jingru's side. Both of them were smiling. Qin Jingru looked at the man and said seriously:
"Hu Kui, here I come!"
"I believe you can be good to me, and I believe you can make this family better."
"I will help you, and together we will make your days more prosperous."
Qin Jingru said categorically that when she came, she had already shown her determination. She said this to prove her attitude.
"Okay!" Hu Kui said only one word. At this time, a thousand words are not as good as a promise.
Qin Jingru smiled, very happily, because she felt this man's determination, his determination to tell the truth.
"Let's go buy something first, and then go home!"
"Um!"
The two of them turned around and went to the supply and marketing cooperative. When they came back carrying their things, everyone in the room was waiting with smiles.
Qin Jingru's face turned red and she said hello. They were all people she knew. When they heard the noise, people in the courtyard also came over to take a look, and Hu Kui also introduced them.
After chatting for a while, Qin Jingru and Li Xiuzhi went to the courtyard over there first.
After everyone left, Grandma Hu Kui smiled and said to Hu Kui: "Kuizi, Jingru can take a liking to you at this time. From now on, you have to treat her well, you know!"
"Yeah", Hu Kui nodded heavily, a woman who can accompany you through hardships, why don't you work hard to make her life better.
"Tomorrow, grandma will buy some things and ask your master to help with the matchmaking and settle this matter as soon as possible." Grandma Hu Kui wished that her grandson-in-law could move in as soon as possible, because she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
While they were talking here, Qin Jingru went to her cousin Qin Huairu's house in the courtyard.
Seeing Qin Jingru coming back, Qin Huairu was immediately happy. Has this girl figured it out?
Silly Zhu also saw it, and then he thought of something and became a little excited. He thought about going to inquire about it, but he held back.
Xu Damao also saw it. Well, he still wanted to find someone when he had time. Now that Qin Jingru is back, there is no need for him to bother with this matter.
While the two of them were having different thoughts, Qin Huairu looked at her cousin Qin Jingru who was smiling sweetly in the room. She narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile: "Looking at your happy face, is there anything good going on?"
"Yeah." Qin Jingru nodded and said with a smile, "Sister, I'm getting married."
"Cough cough cough..." Qin Huairu choked on her own saliva as soon as she heard this. What did this girl say? She is getting married?
Mrs. Jia Zhang was also very surprised at this time. She was getting married in just a few days?
After taking a breath, Qin Huairu couldn't wait to ask: "Jingru, who are you going to marry?"
Logically speaking, even if this girl is getting married, she shouldn't be the one to inform him. There is no such rule.
"Hu Kui!" Qin Jingru smiled sweetly and said his name.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were confused, Hu Kui?
"Jingru, are you kidding me?" Qin Huairu asked, a little anxiously: "You have to understand that if you marry Hu Quina, you will have a hard life if you marry her."
"I know." Qin Jingru nodded and said seriously: "I have thought about it carefully. I am not afraid of hard times because I believe in Hu Kui and believe that he and I will live a prosperous life in the future."
Come on! What else can I say? The corners of Qin Huairu's mouth twitched. When the girl saw her serious look, she knew that she had really thought about it.
"Jingru, you might as well choose Shazhu to marry Hu Kui." Jia Zhang said anxiously: "Even if Hu Kui has changed his job to a regular job, he is still an apprentice, but Shazhu's craftsmanship is much better than him.
.”
Hearing this, Qin Jingru shook her head and said with a smile: "Auntie, I believe Hu Kui will be as skilled as Brother He in the future. His current conditions are worse, but I am also a rural girl, so I am suitable for him."
Jia Zhang wanted to talk again, but Qin Huairu shook her head, saying that no matter how much she said now, it would not change anything.
Qin Jingru did not continue chatting with the two of them. She hugged Wei Hua and went to sleep in the cubicle. She would go home tomorrow morning.
"This girl, why can't she figure it out?" Mrs. Jia Zhang said angrily in a low voice, and hummed: "With Hu Kui's conditions, wouldn't it be a hard life to marry her? There are three younger ones below."
Qin Huairu knew that her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, was holding back her anger, so she didn't bother her to vent her anger.
What my mother-in-law Jia Zhang said is correct or not. Indeed, having to take care of three children will definitely make life difficult.
But doesn’t Hu Kui have any advantages? No, he does!
The master is Lin Jiaguo, and his job has been regularized. If he really has that talent, it won't be long before he can apply for a rating.
In addition, his grandmother is also an advantage. In the past, an old lady could get by, let alone now. With her physical strength, even if Hu Kui has a child, the old lady can carry heavy weight.
Sun.
More importantly, if Qin Jingru is married, if Hu Kui can help her find a job in the city, even if the salary is lower, it will still be income.
With these advantages, people's lives will only last a few years of hardship at most. Look at the education that Grandma Hu Kui gives to her grandchildren. The children will not be crooked at first glance. When the parents grow up, they will not miss Qin Jingru's kindness!
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. If Qin Jingru really wants to take out the children, her life will be much easier in the future.
That night, several people in the courtyard couldn't sleep. The next morning, Qin Huairu walked out of the courtyard and saw Si Zhu waiting.
"Sister Qin, do I still have a chance?" Sha Zhu couldn't wait to ask. Qin Jingru coming back at this time is definitely not visiting relatives.
Qin Huairu looked at him and said with a bitter smile: "Silly Zhu, there is no chance. Jingru has fallen in love with Hu Kui. Hu Kui will probably hire someone to come to her house to talk to her."
Silly Zhu opened his mouth wide, who? Hu Kui?
When he regained his senses, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Well, the anticipation was in vain.
"Hey, that guy is so young, and he's already thinking about getting married." Silly Zhu said very unhappy, he was being poached.
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said, "What's the point? Do you really think anyone would want a man of twenty-two years old and a woman of twenty-two years old to get married? Let alone the city, there are many people in the countryside who become heads of household at the age of seventeen or eighteen."
Silly Zhu was choked. He was almost "turned three" here and he was still a bachelor. It was heartbreaking.
Silly Zhu, who was a little frustrated, took Qin Huairu to work in the steel rolling mill. All Qin Huairu could do now was to comfort him.
In the courtyard, Hu Kui asked his master to ask for leave today. He had to go to Qin Jingru's house. Before making a matchmaking, he had to let his family see his hairy son-in-law.
Qin Jingru got up, washed up, and saw Hu Kui. When she heard that Hu Kui wanted to go back with her, Qin Jingru smiled and nodded.
The two came to Hu Kui's house first. Hu Kui's grandma had already gotten up early to buy the things Hu Kui wanted to bring there. She told Hu Kui to be polite before letting them leave.
After the two left, Grandma Hu Kui came to the courtyard and told the old lady about inviting Lin Jiaguo to propose marriage. The old lady laughed and said: "Sister, according to common sense, it is appropriate for you to invite Jiaguo to go."
of."
"But Jiaguo is too young. Let's not talk about whether Jiaguo understands the etiquette. People will murmur just because of his youth."
Li Xiuzhi also laughed when she heard this, and said: "Grandma Liu, the old lady is right. She has enough seniority in her family and country, but she is too young."
"When the time comes when I go to someone's home, the villagers will look at it and say that we don't pay attention to it and don't understand etiquette."
When Grandma Hu Kui heard this, she became a little worried. There were no direct elders in her family, but she did have some distant relatives, but they were not very close.
Speaking of people in the courtyard, her family got along well in the courtyard, but it would be best to hire someone close to her for this matter.
After she explained her considerations, the old lady and Li Xiuzhi both nodded slightly. Do they really want Lin Jiaguo to come in person?
Thinking about her elders, Li Xiuzhi patted her head and said with a smile: "Grandma Liu, old lady, what are we worrying about? Hu Kui has the most suitable elder. Don't forget his master."
The two of them also realized that this was indeed a very suitable person, but Wang Dafa's health was not very good.
As if she knew what the two of them were thinking, Li Xiuzhi smiled and said: "Grandma Liu, old lady, I often visit the master. Although his health is a little worse, he still takes his grandson around for walks every day. It's no problem."
"Besides, his old man's apprentice and grandson are getting married, so he might be very happy."
The two old ladies looked at each other and decided that it was him. They would wait for Hu Kui to come back and then visit him personally to talk about it.
While the people here were helping Hu Kui worry about it, Hu Kui and Qin Jingru came to the village carrying their things. At noon, everyone in the village soon knew that Qin Jingru's partner had come to the house.
Qin He took Hu Kui to recognize people. Hu Kui took out his cigarette and smoked to call people one by one. After the spectators left, the family sat down.
When Qin's mother saw that Hu Kui was tall and honest, she felt that he was trustworthy and started chatting. Qin Shigui and Qin Jingru talked about Hu Kui's situation. Now she had to consider this future son-in-law by herself.
As they chatted, Hu Kui became less nervous. After he had almost figured it out, Qin's mother was satisfied. She believed that her daughter's life would be better if she married him.
After having a meal and chatting for a while, Hu Kui left. Next, he invited someone to propose marriage, and then set a date.
"Sister, my brother-in-law is so strong!" Xiaohui said with bright eyes while eating the food brought by Hu Kui, and the whole family laughed.
While the family was chatting, on the other side, after work, Xu Damao couldn't wait to return to the courtyard, and he would win it as soon as he had the chance.
When he returned to the courtyard, he didn't see Qin Jingru. He was a little surprised and thought he had gone shopping.
He took out his cigarette and smoked it with the two people in the middle courtyard, waiting for them to come back.
He waited around and saw no one. When he saw that Qin Huairu's family had eaten but no one was there, the corner of his mouth twitched. Could it be that Qin Jingru went back again?
In order to find out, he went out to eat first. When he came back, he saw Qin Huairu cleaning the house for Sha Zhu, so he walked over.
"Sister Qin, where is your cousin? I told her that I would treat her to a meal."
Seeing that it was Xu Damao, Qin Huairu knew what he was thinking as soon as she heard this. At this time, Shazhu naturally reacted and just wanted to tell him to get out. This grandson is really not a thing, but when he thought of Qin Jingru's current
situation, he smiled mischievously.
"Xu Damao, don't worry about your grandson!" Silly Zhu came over and said with a smile: "If you have that heart, you can go have a wedding wine soon."
"Drinking wedding wine?", Xu Damao was confused, Qin Jingru and Silly Zhu became friends?
Hey, no, if it happened, Silly Zhu would look like this!
"Brother, don't worry about it. Qin Jingru is going to marry Hu Kui. You, you can't eat this meal, but you can go and have a wedding banquet, the same thing."
Silly Zhu said and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder. Xu Damao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he listened.
Who? Hu Kui? Xu Damao became numb and his face changed.
What the heck, Hu Kui actually got there first!
Is it that he, Xu Damao, has stopped using the knife? Or is he, Xu Damao, unable to keep up with the times?
"Hahaha……"
Silly Zhu burst out laughing, feeling relieved that one more person was unhappy.
It’s no wonder that Xu Damao, his grandson, wants to ruin his own affairs. He must have had this intention from the beginning. Now that he has stolen the chicken but lost the rice, he let Hu Kui win the beauty in vain.
Seeing Silly Zhu smiling happily, Xu Damao's mouth twitched, his face turned dark, and he left with a groan.
Back in the backyard room, Xu Damao felt like he was going to explode with anger. He tried to cooperate with him, but in the end he was in a state of confusion.
So, what happened in the middle?
I lit a cigarette and thought about it. Soon, Xu Damao slapped himself on the head. Hu Kui was notified of the award in the factory, and then Qin Jingru was also rewarded. There was an intersection between the two, and it was a very impressive intersection.
So careless! So careless!
The corners of Xu Damao's mouth twitched. Damn it, Hu Kui was now at an advantage.
Thinking about what he said to Qin Jingru, Xu Damao felt a pain in his balls. It was for his own future consideration that he let Qin Jingru know some of her cousin Qin Huairu's plans.
Fortunately, now, I have given Hu Kui a big assist in vain. When the two get married, if Qin Huairu really wants to think about it, Qin Jingru will be able to understand it without the help of Lin Jiaguo and the others.
Drink, must drink. If he wasn't drunk today, he wouldn't be able to sleep!
Angrily, he walked out of the courtyard and was about to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wine. As soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw Hu Kui coming back dusty.
"Hello, Brother Xu!" Hu Kui greeted Xu Damao with a simple smile.
The corner of Xu Damao's mouth twitched, you really should say hello to me, what the heck, one operation gave you an advantage.
After a slight nod and a response, the two of them staggered and walked forward.
He went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wine, returned to the courtyard, and was about to go to the backyard, but when he saw Shazhu's house, Xu Damao's eyes rolled, hey, if you don't feel good, don't let this guy feel good, someone needs to be with you.
Carrying the wine, he pushed open Silhu's door. When he saw it was Xu Damao, Silhu was stunned. Xu Damao was not polite to him. He said carelessly: "I'll provide you with the wine, you provide the peanuts, and we'll have a drink."
Silly Zhu was also happy when he heard this. Xu Damao asked him to have a drink, which was rare!
"OK!"
Half an hour later, people in the middle courtyard heard Sha Zhu and Xu Damao scolding each other, and then they all went out to have a look.
When they saw the two of them drinking, slapping the table and swearing, everyone had black lines on their heads.
That night, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao didn't fight, but they both drank so much that they became depressed and said heart-wrenching words to each other. It would be strange if they weren't depressed.
…
The next day, after work, Lin Jiaguo took Hu Kui, who was carrying something, to the home of his master Wang Dafa.
Seeing that his master was getting older, Lin Jiaguo just sighed in his heart and did not say anything sad because he knew that his master didn't like it.
After saying hello, Hu Kui took out the cigarette, handed it to the master respectfully, and then distributed it to the master and Uncle Wang Jun.
"Master, you are always ready to take action." Lin Jiaguo said with a smile. Wang Dafa was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Why do you need me to take action?"
Lin Jiaguo took a puff of cigarette, pointed at Hu Kui, and said with a smile: "Your disciple has found a partner. Now, I have to ask you to make a trip to the bride's house to propose marriage."
Hearing this, Wang Dafa's eyes lit up, he looked at Hu Kui, and then he laughed.
"Okay, I'll take care of this." Wang Dafa was happy. His physical condition was getting worse. If he could see Hu Kui get married and have children, it would mean that his faction was getting more prosperous.
"Thank you, Master!" Hu Kui thanked him and laughed innocently. Wang Jun and Zhang Qin both congratulated each other. Zhang Qin laughed and said: "Why do I feel that if I don't pay attention, I will almost become a grandma?"
Several people laughed, isn't it like this? When Hu Kui has a child, Zhang Qin will really become a grandma in terms of seniority.
Next, it was agreed to go to propose marriage on this day off. Wang Dafa asked Hu Kui again about the bride price. There were many questions. He had to know the number first, and then he could discuss things when he went to propose marriage.
After they figured it out, Lin Jiaguo and Hu Kui left. As soon as they left, Wang Dafa sang Peking Opera happily. Zhang Qin and his wife listened and smiled. The old man was very happy today.
