After Qin Huairu heard what Jia Zhang said, she was so surprised that she almost couldn't close her mouth.
Generally speaking, it is normal for men and women to hold hands and have some physical contact with their romantic partners. As long as no one sees them on the street, no one will make any irresponsible remarks.
But if this matter escalates, the Zhang family will definitely be unable to bear it.
Qin Huairu thought of another question: "Mom, if this happens, won't Xiaohuaihua's reputation be ruined?"
Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, why are you so stupid? You haven't understood yet. Xiaohuaihua and Xiaodang are different. This girl will not listen to us. If we let her
If you continue to develop with that Zhang Daxing, Zhang Daxing will definitely live in our house in the future, and by then you won’t even have a chance to cry."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Even if Xiao Huaihua's reputation becomes worse, it would still be better than marrying Zhang Daxing.
Besides, the Zhang family is a well-known wealthy family in the compound next door. If the operation is done properly, the Jia family may be able to make a lot of money this time.
After thinking about it, Qin Huairu took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I agree. Then let's talk to Father Zhang in two days?"
"Why, in two days, we'll go there after lunch!"
"OK!"
Considering that she had to do something important in the afternoon, Qin Huairu made lunch early.
After eating, Qin Huairu took out fifty cents from his pocket and asked Banggeng to take Xiaohuaihua to People's Park.
"Banggeng, remember, you don't want to come back until night?"
At this time, Banggeng already knew that the Jia family wanted to cause trouble for the Zhang family. He fully agreed with this matter, but he did not accept the money.
"Mom, what are you doing with fifty cents? That damn little Huaihua girl is interested in duck boats. If you want her to stay a little longer, you have to give me at least another fifty cents."
Seeing Banggeng licking his face and asking for money, Qin Huairu rolled her eyes angrily, and finally took out another fifty cents from her pocket and stuffed it into Banggeng's hand.
After Banggen got the money, he felt happy, opened the cotton curtain, and entered Xiaohuahua's house.
At this time, Xiao Huaihua was still angry with him. When she saw him coming in, she rolled her eyes and said with a cold face: "Banggan, what do you want to do?"
"Going to the park?" Banggeng said with a smile.
"No, no, don't bother me!" Little Sophora japonica picked up the pillow and threw it at the stem.
Bangge ducked slightly and said, "I have fifty cents. How about I treat you to a duck boat ride?"
"Are you inviting me?" Xiao Huaihua looked at Bangjian in disbelief.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Banggeng took out a fifty-cent piece of money from his pocket and waved it in front of her face.
Although Xiao Huaihua doesn't know why Banggeng is so positive, but with fifty cents in front of her, she can't do anything fake.
She hesitated for a moment, then followed Bangge and left the house.
Seeing the two people's backs disappearing at the door of the courtyard, Jia Zhang retracted her head from the door, looked at Qin Huairu and said, "They are gone, we can set off."
The two of them muttered inside the house for a while, then opened the door and left the house.
At this time, Li Donglai happened to see off the medical representatives.
Because he had completed a big project, he decided to give the researchers in the laboratory two days of vacation. He drove back in his jeep and prepared to take Ding Qiunan out for a ride.
There is no such thing as private use of public vehicles in these days, and the rolling mill laboratory is an independent accounting unit, so no one can make irresponsible remarks.
Click.
The jeep stopped steadily at the entrance of the courtyard. Li Donglai jumped out of the jeep and bumped into Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang.
Both of them felt guilty and subconsciously took a step back. Jia Zhang was the first to react, smiling at Li Donglai and saying, "Master, are you back?"
"Yeah." Li Donglai felt that the two of them were a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, he was anxious to take Ding Qiunan out to play, so he quickly walked into the yard.
Qin Huairu looked at the jeep in a daze.
In these days, it is difficult for ordinary people to even get bicycles, but Li Donglai actually drove back in a jeep.
How powerful it would be if you could sit on it and drive on the street.
Thinking of these, Qin Huairu felt sad.
If she could stay in Qinjiagou for two more years, she would definitely be able to get a jeep, and it would not be cheaper than Ding Qiunan is today.
I regret it!
"Qin Huairu, what are you looking at?" Jia Zhang followed Qin Huairu's eyes and her face suddenly darkened: "Qin Huairu, have you forgotten what we are going to do today?"
Only then did Qin Huairu react and hurriedly followed Jia Zhang to the courtyard next door.
By this time, Li Donglai had already returned home.
Ding Qiunan had just invited Wei Dong and Wei Guo to eat. Originally, the Rolling Mill Primary School provided free meals to the children at noon these days, but Ding Qiunan felt that the big pot rice was not nutritious enough, so he would take the two children back for lunch every day.
Li Donglai originally thought it was unnecessary, but considering Ding Qiunan's character, he could only let it go.
He hung the canvas bag on the hanger and said with a smile: "I just sent those foreigners away from the capital. I just have nothing to do in the afternoon and I am going to take you to the suburbs for a tour."
"Did you drive the jeep back?" Ding Qiunan was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth after getting the definite answer.
In this day and age, riding in a car is a symbol of status. Which woman can’t have a little vanity in her heart?
The two little ones, Wei Dong and Wei Guo, already had their schoolbags on their backs, and now they were also clamoring to play with them.
"You two, please go to school honestly."
Li Donglai had his own plan today, how could it be ruined by these two boys? He got on his electric bicycle and sent the two of them to school.
Half an hour later, Li Donglai drove his jeep along the spacious road to a beautiful place on the outskirts of the city.
Ding Qiunan saw Li Donglai stop the car and felt a little strange: "Brother Donglai, didn't you say you wanted to take me for a walk? Why did you stop?"
Looking at the confused Ding Qiunan, Li Donglai smiled and pointed to the back seat: "Qiunan, do you want to try to see if the sofa in the back seat is soft?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ding Qiunan was stunned for a moment, but when he turned around and saw a quilt spread on the sofa in the back row, he suddenly understood.
Her face turned red and her fist lightly hit Li Donglai's shoulder.
"It's really annoying. I'd be so embarrassed if someone saw this."
"Don't worry, there's no one here in the wilderness. Besides, if we close the curtains on the car windows, who can see?" Li Donglai said, opened the car door, and held Ding Qiunan's hand.
Ding Qiunan said no, but she and Li Donglai entered the back row of the jeep.
The young yellow flowers on the roadside swayed in the strong wind, and their petals scattered in all directions and fell to the ground.
....
the other side.
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu have already entered the courtyard next door.
This compound is also known as the No. 1 compound of the lumber factory because all employees of the nearby lumber factory live there.
The steward of the No. 1 yard of the lumber factory is a retired comrade from the logistics department of the lumber factory named Uncle Liu.
This old man likes to serve flowers the most. When he has nothing to do, he will carry a kettle and water his precious flowers under the eaves.
Uncle Liu saw Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu walking in side by side from the outside, with serious expressions on their faces, and felt something was wrong.
He put down the kettle and stepped forward to stop the two of them.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, what are you doing in our compound?"
"It's okay, I just want to talk to Father Zhang." Mrs. Jia Zhang said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Uncle Liu frowned.
The distance between the courtyard of the lumber mill and the courtyard of the steel rolling mill was less than two hundred meters, and he had heard about Jia Zhang's virtues.
This time Jia Zhang ran to the lumber factory compound to chat with Father Zhang, but he didn't believe anything he said.
What's more, Qin Huairu was also followed behind Jia Zhang.
This one is also a go-getter!
It's just that this is a private matter, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu are not suspicious persons, and Uncle Liu is too embarrassed to stop them.
However, he still warned: "You two, this is the lumber factory compound, not your courtyard. I hope you won't cause trouble here."
"Hey, Uncle Liu, what you said seems as if I, Jia Zhang, only know how to make trouble." Jia Zhang said with squinted eyes: "Old comrade, you are looking at people with old ideas, and you are bound to make a mistake.
"
It has to be said that Jia Zhang has learned a lot of knowledge under Li Donglai's iron fist over the years, and he actually knows the high-end term "old concept".
Uncle Liu knew her temper and did not argue with her. He turned around, picked up the kettle, and continued working.
"Huh, old guy, you want to stop me, but you don't even look at how many pounds you have." Jia Zhang came back victorious, cursed a few times, and walked to the backyard with Qin Huairu.
The lumber factory compound is much smaller than the courtyard house, with only two entrances. Father Zhang's family is a big family in the compound, with three rooms in the east wing of the backyard.
Father Zhang is retired. He takes a break at noon every day, and then goes for a walk in the park with the bird cage hanging under the eaves.
Jia Zhang also knew about Father Zhang's habit. When she saw the bird cage hanging there, she was sure that Father Zhang was still in the house.
She strode forward and knocked on the door loudly.
"Old man Zhang, old man Zhang, are you at home?"
Daddy Zhang is the respectful name given to Lao Zhang by the younger generation. Jia Zhang believed that his status was more valuable than that of Lao Zhang, so naturally he couldn't call him that.
Father Zhang was drowsily asleep. When he heard someone knocking on the door outside, he got up in a daze and asked who it was?
Seeing no one responded, but the knocks on the door continued, Father Zhang could only put on his cotton-padded jacket, put on his cotton-padded boots, yawned and got out of bed.
He opened the door bolt and saw Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu standing outside. He was completely stunned.
"You, what's the matter with you?"
No wonder Father Zhang was surprised. He had heard of the Jia family's reputation a long time ago, so he had no contact with the Jia family since Lao Jia's death. It has been more than ten years now.
Mrs. Jia Zhang protected Jia Ai with both hands, her triangular eyes squinted, and she glared at Mr. Zhang and said, "Old man Zhang, where is your Zhang Daxing?"
Hearing that he was looking for Zhang Daxing, Zhang's heart skipped a beat and his tone softened a lot: "Daxing is not at home, sister-in-law, what do you want to see him for? Is he in trouble again?"
"Not only is it causing trouble, but it's also a big trouble!" Jia Zhang said sullenly: "Your Zhang Daxing is acting like a hooligan against my little Sophora japonica! What do you think we should do about this?"
"What, Daxing is acting like a hooligan?"
Father Zhang looked incredulous.
In fact, when he heard that Mr. Jia Zhang was looking for Zhang Daxing, Mr. Zhang felt something was wrong and knew that this boy must have caused trouble again.
Father Zhang is a relatively upright person. As a first-generation old worker, he has worked diligently in the factory all his life. He treats his neighbors like family members. If anyone has trouble, he is always the first to do so.
One rushed to help.
And Zhang Daxing may be the biggest regret in his life.
Zhang Daxing was a posthumous child. After Daxing's mother gave birth to Zhang Daxing, she had a difficult labor. Although she was sent to the hospital and the doctors tried their best to save her, she still couldn't survive.
When she was dying, Daxing Niang took Father Zhang's hand and told him to bring up the child and not let the child suffer any injustice.
Under such circumstances, Father Zhang naturally favored his son. In addition, Zhang Daxing had been smart since he was a child and his little mouth was very good at coaxing others. He soon received more treatment than his two brothers.
Zhang Daxing can eat the candies that his two brothers cannot eat. During the Chinese New Year, the two brothers have no new clothes, but Zhang Daxing has to use the cloth coupons he has saved for a year to make Zhang Daxing a suit of clothes that fit him.
.
This is inherently abnormal behavior.
You must know that cloth was scarce in these days and a rationing supply system was implemented. Each household with a grain budget could only receive a few feet of cloth coupons each year.
Therefore, after most families get cloth tickets, they will buy clothes for the eldest child. In this way, when the eldest son grows up, the clothes can be worn by the second child, and when the second child grows up, the clothes can be worn by the third child.
, and so on. Often a piece of clothing can be passed down to four or five children.
If you buy clothes directly for your younger son, he will grow up quickly and may not be able to wear the clothes in two years, so it will be wasted.
It is said that a loving mother often loses her son, and Zhang Daxing is a similar father. He almost holds Zhang Daxing in the palm of his hand.
Once there was a conflict between Zhang Daxing and his two brothers, he rushed up to his eldest son and his second son and beat them up without any hesitation.
Because of his father's protection, Zhang Daxing acted increasingly erratically. He dropped out of elementary school before graduating from elementary school.
At this time, Mr. Zhang also felt a little regretful, but he still wanted Zhang Daxing to learn well, so he used his connections to send him to a lathe factory as an apprentice.
Apprentices are temporary workers and are not restricted by academic qualifications and do not follow formal entry procedures. However, once they pass the technical assessment, they can be converted into regular workers.
This kind of quota is very rare. In order to get the quota, Mr. Zhang found almost all the old leaders he could talk to.
For the sake of Mr. Zhang's lifelong dedication to his work, those old leaders reluctantly nodded and agreed.
However, Zhang Daxing did not cherish such a precious quota. After entering the lathe factory, he still fooled around with those green men all day long.
In order to exchange for alcohol money, he actually stole the waste materials from the lathe factory. As a result, he was caught by the factory security department.
This time, Father Zhang spent a lot of money to get him back from the security department.
Zhang's father tried hard to persuade Zhang Daxing to return from his lost ways, and Zhang Daxing agreed. However, not long after, he went to steal the big rooster from a fellow villager.
