Chapter 612 Ma Zhengshao first entered the courtyard
Ma Zhengshao and Xiao Dang walked into the middle courtyard chatting and laughing, and almost bumped into an old man with a big head and big ears.
The old man seemed to have a bad temper. Before he even raised his head or opened his mouth, he scolded: "Who is it? Why can't you walk without eyes?"
After seeing clearly that it was Xiaodang, the old man frowned slightly: "Who else should I think it is! Isn't this the eldest daughter of Qin Huairu's family?"
"It's the second uncle. It's so early. Are you going out for a walk?" Xiao Dang said with a smile.
Liu Haizhong snorted softly in response.
He caught a glimpse of Ma Zhengshao, looked up and down Ma Zhengshao's body, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Hey, Xiaodang, we are dating, the young man looks pretty good."
Xiaodang felt a little baffled by the hostility revealed in Liu Haizhong's words. He suppressed his anger and nodded: "Yes, second uncle, this is my partner Ma Zhengshao."
"Ma Zhengshao, this is the second uncle of our courtyard, a seventh-level blacksmith...with a junior high school education."
Ma Zhengshao also felt that there was something wrong between the two of them, but he still said hello politely.
"You..." Liu Haizhong's face turned red with anger. He felt that with his mouth, he was no match for Xiao Dang, so he could only leave with his hands behind his back angrily.
After leaving the yard, he looked at the tree branches swaying in the strong wind on the side of the road. He spat hard in his bangs and muttered: "A little yellow-haired girl dares to show off in front of me. She is really unruly. I think back then I just
When I became the second uncle, who dared to speak loudly in front of me!"
Liu Haizhong was not actually targeting Xiaodang, he was targeting all the people in the courtyard who were talking about getting married, as well as the newly married children.
The reason is very simple. Although Liu Guangqi was transferred from Baoding to the seasoning factory with the help of Li Donglai, his divorce from the Huang family in Baoding has not been finalized for a long time.
After Liu Guangqi left, the Huang family didn't pay much attention at first. Two-legged toads were hard to find, but three-legged men were everywhere on the street.
With the appearance of the eldest girl of the Huang family, wouldn't it be easy to find another partner? This time, we have to find a college student and a leader!
Who would have thought that when the Huang family introduced their conditions and requirements to the matchmaker, the matchmaker was so frightened that she stood up and ran away without even drinking tea.
The Huang family initially thought that the matchmaker was incompetent, so they spent a lot of money to find several matchmakers in succession, only to discover the embarrassing situation of the eldest daughter of the Huang family.
The matter between her and Liu Guangqi has been widely spread. People sympathize with the weak. Everyone feels that Liu Guangqi is not worthy of their son-in-law. They also feel that the eldest daughter of the Huang family and the Huang family are not good friends.
Under such circumstances, not to mention college students and leaders, even ordinary small workers are unwilling to marry the eldest daughter of the Huang family. After all, no one wants to be a son-in-law and be bullied.
After the eldest daughter of the Huang family realized that the situation was not good, she began to hold on to Liu Guangqi tightly and did not agree to divorce Liu Guangqi.
Although there was no marriage protection fee in this era, there was still the existence of the Women's Federation. With the intervention of the Women's Federation, Liu Guangqi's divorce certificate was delayed.
After liberation, under the monogamy system we implemented, Liu Guangqi could not get divorced here, and Liu Haizhong could not have grandchildren.
Think about it, can he not be angry?!
...
After Liu Haizhong left, Xiaodang became more and more angry as she thought about it. She had never provoked Liu Haizhong in the compound on weekdays, but today she was hit hard on the head and face.
She turned to look at Ma Zhengshao: "Ma Zhengshao, that person just now, stay away from him from now on."
Ma Zhengshao looked confused: "Xiao Dang, isn't he the second uncle of your courtyard? Doesn't the steward have a bad character?"
"It's not just his bad character, he is a violent maniac!" Xiao Dang said with a cold face: "He originally had three sons, but now he only has one son left."
Ma Zhengshao's expression changed drastically and he stopped: "He, he killed those two sons?"
"...That's not true." Xiaodang said: "However, those two sons have been abused by him since they were young. They were beaten with sticks and whips every day. Now they have severed ties with him."
"That's quite serious..." Ma Zhengshao looked up at the blue sky, looking a little confused. This small courtyard turned out to be the land of crouching dragons and hidden tigers. The Jia family...
He couldn't help but feel worried about his first visit today.
...
Inside Jia's house.
Although Xiaodang is just a little girl, she is Qin Huairu's biological daughter after all, and she attaches great importance to her son-in-law's visit.
I got up early in the morning, washed the room, arranged the tables and chairs, and took out a pack of cigarettes and a box of high-broken tea leaves from the cabinet.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was sleeping in, and was awakened by Qin Huairu's movement. She yawned, stretched, and her triangular eyes were slanted.
"Qin Huairu, you don't have to go to work today. It's so early in the morning. What are you busy with!"
Qin Huairu explained with a smile: "Today is the day when my partner comes to visit, have you forgotten? I mentioned it to you last night."
"Ah... that's what happened." Mrs. Jia Zhang raised her eyes and thought for a moment, then sneered: "Isn't it just a little girl's movie? What's so important? I mean, Qin Huairu, if you have been
If you focus on Banggeng, Banggeng won’t make so many mistakes now.”
Qin Huairu was speechless for a moment. She knew that Jia Zhang had always favored boys over girls. In fact, she herself had a tendency to do so, but it was not that severe.
It's ridiculous to think about it. Women like Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang, who came from before liberation, lived a miserable life at home because of the preference for boys over girls.
Not only did they not have any understanding, but when they grew up and gave birth to girls, they continued to follow the same old path, and even worsened it.
Mrs. Jia Zhang waved her hand: "My old lady still wants to sleep, so don't disturb me."
After saying that, she lay down on the bed again, covered her head with the quilt, and snored.
Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang being so rude, Qin Huairu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Even if Xiaodang was just a girl, today was her big day. As a grandmother, Mrs. Jia Zhang should not hide in the house and sleep.
If the person you were cheating on knew this, he would definitely feel that he was being treated poorly.
Qin Huairu knew Jia Zhang's temperament, and trying to persuade her would only make her furious. He sighed and continued to work.
When the house was almost tidied up, Banggan and Huang Yanling also came back from outside.
Seeing that the house was kept spotless, Banggeng curled his lips and said, "Mom, isn't it that Xiao Dang's partner is coming? You don't need to pay so much attention to me. When I got married a while ago, I didn't see you being so diligent."
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes: "Banggen, when you got married, Xiaodang and I almost washed the roof of our house. Have you forgotten?"
Bangge was speechless, scratched his head, and said awkwardly: "Who told me that I am a boy and the heir of our family! When I am a little girl, when I get married, I will no longer be a member of our family.
Already."
Qin Huairu didn't expect Banggeng to think this way, so she took a deep breath and said: "Banggeng, today is my sister's big day. As a brother, I don't ask you to do anything good, but please don't give it to me.
Adding chaos."
"I know, I know... Can I, Banggeng, be the kind of person who doesn't know what's important?" Banggeng waved his hand and led Huang Yanling into the house.
Huang Yanling was sitting in front of the mirror dressing up, thinking about the Yan Jiechang she had just met, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Why hadn't she noticed before that Yan Jiecheng was pretty good-looking?
He used to be a bit cowardly, but now he dares to plan a big thing like stealing cloth from a textile factory, which is comparable to the three brothers of the Ma family.
and.
Huang Yanling knew the profits of cloth, and as long as this road was feasible, Yan Jiecheng would soon become prosperous.
Compared with Yan Jiecheng, Banggeng looks like a little boy, especially his curly hair, which is almost like an earthworm and looks disgusting.
If I could figure it out with Yan...
Huang Yanling couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of the beautiful things.
Bangge was lying on the bed reading a manuscript. When he heard laughter, he put down the book and asked, "Yanling, why are you laughing?"
"Ah?! I'm laughing at you." Huang Yanling rolled her eyes and said deceitfully.
Bangge was a little angry: "Why are you laughing at me?"
"It's funny that you don't have any status in the family. Look at how busy your mother is at home just for the sake of a small job." Huang Yanling was angry.
She just didn't like Xiaodang. Ever since she married into the Jia family, Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua, two stinky girls, had shown respect to her sister-in-law.
But he often scolded her behind her back.
How can Huang Yanling be the kind of person who can tolerate it and not take the opportunity to retaliate?
Banggeng was already dissatisfied with today's events, but after hearing Huang Yanling's words, he was even more angry and gritted his teeth.
He punched the bed hard and said coldly: "Don't worry, this marriage can't happen without me here."
When Huang Yanling heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
....
"Ma Zhengshao, this is our home, what do you think?" Xiao Dang led Ma Zhengshao to the door of Jia's house, pointed at Jia's house, and said in a show-off manner.
Jia's house has two rooms, located in the middle courtyard. It is the best house in the courtyard second only to Shazhu's house. In the past, it should have been the residence of the concubines of Tatar officials.
The complicated cornices, carved beams and painted pillars, and cornices with raised corners are like an exquisite landscape painting, which looks very majestic.
Although Ma Zhengshao's family had three rooms in the courtyard next door, the courtyard was just a residence for a landlord. It could not be compared with the residence of a Tatar official, and the houses were naturally not so luxurious.
He nodded and said: "It is indeed beautiful enough."
At this time, Qin Huairu, who was in the room, heard the voice and hurriedly came up to greet her.
"Hey, Xiaodang, you kid is really not sensible at all. How can you let someone stand outside when you bring someone to your door? It's so cold outside. Hurry up and I'll get a brazier in the morning."
Xiaodang smiled awkwardly: "Mom, this is Ma Zhengshao... my partner."
"Ma Zhengshao, this is my mother."
Qin Huairu looked at Ma Zhengshao vaguely. The young man looked fair and energetic, but he was a bit short. However, he heard that his family background was good, so he might be a suitable candidate.
Ma Zhengshao also took the opportunity to look at his future mother-in-law. The first impression Qin Huairu gave him was that she was young. Logically speaking, Xiaodang was already nearly twenty years old, and Qin Huairu was at least thirty-eight years old, but she looked like
She looks like a little girl in her twenties.
She is very beautiful, with fair skin, big eyes, a delicate nose, and a full mouth. When she smiles, her eyes sparkle.
Especially today, in order to welcome her future son-in-law, she specially wore a small emerald green cotton-padded jacket. The waist of the cotton-padded jacket was tightened, showing off her slender waist to the fullest.
Ma Zhengshao felt that Xiaodang was far inferior to the mother-in-law in terms of appearance.
Women are born with a sixth sense. Although Ma Zhengshao had no evil intentions, Xiaodang still noticed it.
She complained a little about Qin Huairu. Today is a good day for your daughter. Why are you dressed up so beautifully?
As Qin Huairu's daughter, Xiaodang knew exactly what she had done over the years, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
She held Ma Zhengshao's arm as if to demonstrate, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma Zhengshao, let's go into the house."
"Ah...okay..." Ma Zhengshao also felt a little embarrassed and quickly followed Xiaodang into the house.
A charcoal fire had already been lit in the house and it was very warm.
After Qin Huairu asked the two of them to sit down around the charcoal fire, she poured tea for them and handed it over.
"Warm your hands."
While Ma Zhengshao was drinking tea, Qin Huairu asked with a smile: "Xiao Ma..."
Halfway through her words, she felt that the title was a bit weird, and she sounded like "little mother" when she said it.
He quickly changed his words and said: "Comrade Ma Zhengshao, I will still call you this."
"Yes, of course, Auntie, I am a junior, you can call me whatever you want."
This kid is quite polite.
Qin Huairu nodded with satisfaction and asked, "I heard from Xiaodang that you are also a worker in a textile factory?"
Ma Zhengshao straightened his body: "Yes, Auntie, I am a fourth-level yarn-drawing worker, and my monthly salary is 42 yuan and 50 cents."
This salary is quite a lot... Qin Huairu then asked: "How is the situation at your family?"
Ma Zhengshao was a little stunned when he heard this. Generally speaking, when a man and a woman are dating, after confirming the relationship, the woman will report the man's situation to her parents.
Now listening to Qin Huairu's words, it seems like she doesn't know anything.
Ma Zhengshao couldn't help but steal a glance at Xiaodang.
Xiaodang's face looked a little embarrassed. Qin Huairu did ask about Ma Zhengshao's situation before, but she was always in the way.
Firstly, it was because I was a little shy, and also because I didn’t want the Jia family to know about Ma Zhengshao’s family background.
Xiaodang has lived in the Jia family for decades and knows the people of the Jia family very well. They are all vampires and white-eyed wolves.
If they were to know that Ma Zhengshao had a good family background, they would inevitably become jealous.
Ma Zhengshao didn't know what Xiaodang was thinking, but he still introduced his family's situation in a straightforward manner.
Hearing that Ma Zhengshao's parents were both old teachers, and his elder brother was still a factory leader, Qin Huairu's eyes suddenly lit up. The child had finally found a good home.
However, as a mother-in-law, she cannot be too active at this time, lest her daughter be looked down upon.
Qin Huairu pretended to be indifferent and nodded slightly: "The conditions are average, but our Xiaodang is not the kind of person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. As long as you treat Xiaodang well and work hard after you get married, life will always be good.
Get better."
"Yes, yes, aunt, Xiaodang and I truly love each other. After we get married, I will definitely treat Xiaodang well." Ma Zhengshao expressed his position quickly.
