Ran Qiuye's parents came forward to express their gratitude to Yang Jun and Li Tiezhu, and enthusiastically led them into the house, pouring tea and offering cigarettes.
Yang Jun, Li Gangjing and Shazhu were sitting in the living room chatting with Ran's father, while Ran's mother led Guang Fu Guangtian and the others to carry Ran Qiuye's dowry to the car.
The Ran family comes from a scholarly family, and Ran's parents are university professors. They are relatively well off, and Ran Qiuye's dowry alone filled a cart.
Four quilts, two thermos bottles, two enamel basins, and Ran Qiuye's personal belongings were packed into two large boxes.
Ran's father took Sha Zhu's hand and earnestly told him to take good care of Ran Qiuye.
Ran's mother hugged Ran Qiuye reluctantly in the room next to her, and kept telling her what she should pay attention to as a wife. Ran Qiuye also nodded frequently, with tears in his eyes, holding her mother's hand and choking.
It can be seen that Ran's parents are very reluctant to let go of Ran Qiuye, but due to the current situation, they have to give up their love. This is a great day to marry their daughter, but the old couple is frowning, forcing a smile in front of Ran Qiuye, but there is a gap between their eyebrows.
But with a touch of sadness.
With the reluctance of Ran's parents, the wedding car slowly drove away from Ran's house.
Since Yang Jun's car was carrying a dowry, only Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye could sit on it. Liu Guangfu and the others all squeezed into Li Gangjing's car.
Along the way, everyone was silent, as if they had not recovered from what had just happened, especially Ran Qiuye, whose face was full of sadness. No matter how kindly Si Zhu persuaded her, he could not dispel the gloom in her heart.
"Brother Junzi, thank you for what happened today. If it weren't for the help of you and your friends, our family..."
Ran Qiuye sat in the passenger seat and said to Yang Jun after a long while.
"Hey, why are you so polite? It's easy."
Si Zhu was squeezed into the seat at the back. Hearing this, he came over and said,
"I say, Junzi, you should do something about this and help your sister-in-law settle the matter. From now on, you can use your brother Zhuzi as you like."
"Really?" Yang Jun rolled his eyes at him.
"That's necessary." Shazhu assured, patting his chest.
Yang Jun rolled his eyes and said, "What if I let you run back?"
"That... that... doesn't work, you kid actually came up with these bad ideas."
Ran Qiuye, who was sitting in front, turned around and glared at him. Silly Zhu immediately changed his words and said, "I hope your military son can help me settle this matter. So what if I run back."
Silly Zhu pretended to go down and run back.
"Okay, I'm kidding you. As the saying goes, no matter how big or small you get married, don't blame me for taking people to the wedding night."
Yang Jun finished his joke and then said to them seriously,
"How big of a deal is it? I'll take care of it. Today is your big day. Don't look sad. Smile more to look happy."
"Hey, yes, just smile like this."
When Ran Qiuye heard that Yang Jun could solve the problem, he immediately felt relieved and had a smile on his face.
Back in the courtyard, the second uncle had already arranged for someone to wait at the entrance of the alley. As soon as the bride got off the car, the firecrackers started crackling.
A group of people walked towards the middle courtyard with the bride and groom in their arms. Under the auspices of the second uncle, they completed their pre-wedding vows and were then escorted to the wedding room by Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li, the little girl and daughter-in-law.
Because something like this happened to the Ran family, there was no bridesmaid around Ran Qiuye, so she could only let Lou Xiaoe and the others take on the responsibility of being the bridesmaids, lest the young men in the yard take advantage.
Yang Jun returned to the outside of the courtyard and directed Liu Guangfu and the others to move the bride's dowry inside, then locked the car door and went to Qin Huairu's house in the middle courtyard with Li Gangjing.
Qin Huairu's family all went to Shazhu's house for a wedding banquet, and Qin Jingru was the only one at home.
Qin Jingru came from the countryside and was not familiar with the people in the courtyard, so she did not go to the banquet with her.
The banquet was hosted by Master Wang from the cafeteria. His cooking skills were also good, second only to Sha Zhu. Under his management, six hot and six cold dishes were served, and two stew bowls were served.
The table was filled with the aroma of wine and food. Qin Jingru stayed in the room, smelling the aroma, and her heart itched. She was lying at the window watching the people in the yard drinking wine and eating meat.
At this time, she suddenly discovered that Yang Jun was walking towards Qin Huairu's house with a strange man who looked decent. Her heart pounded inexplicably, her heart beat faster, and her face became a little red and hot.
Thinking of Yang Jun's introduction to her in the city last night, she felt that this strange man was the one she wanted to go on a blind date with.
She quickly stood up and hurriedly arranged her clothes, waiting expectantly for the direction of the door.
"Hey, Jun Zi is here. This... must be Jingru's partner. He looks really energetic."
Qin Huairu, who was eating meat at the table, saw Yang Jun leading a strange man to her home, and she immediately greeted him.
"Sister-in-law Jia, don't dare to say nonsense. We haven't even met each other yet. How can we become a target?"
Qin Huairu took a look at Li Gangjing and saw that the man was wearing a clean Chinese tunic suit with two pens on his chest. He looked like a cadre and he was carrying two large bags of snacks. She couldn't help but feel happy.
"It's only a matter of time. As long as this comrade meets our Jingru, he will definitely like her."
Qin Huairu said as he led them home.
This scene was noticed by Mrs. Jia Zhang who was having a banquet. She quickly gave a warning and then sneaked to the door of her house to eavesdrop.
In the room, Yang Jun introduced Li Tiezhu and Qin Jingru to each other.
"Li Tiezhu, my comrade, works at a grain station, with a monthly salary of eighty-seven and five yuan, and has cadre housing in the city."
Yang Jun then introduced Qin Jingru to Li Tiezhu.
"Qin Jingru, from Qinjia Village on the outskirts of the city, is nineteen years old. Not only is she beautiful, she is also down-to-earth and capable."
Speaking of "steadfast and capable," Yang Junruo patted Li Gangjing's shoulder meaningfully.
Li Gangjing was very satisfied with Qin Jingru. Ever since he entered the house, his eyes had not left her for a moment.
He even felt that Qin Jingru was more beautiful than the one introduced by Yang Jun, especially her purity and pitiful expression made him feel itchy and he couldn't help but feel protective.
This girl's skin was fair and she didn't look like someone from the countryside at all, especially her big, watery eyes that seemed to be telling him endless charm.
Qin Jingru is also quite satisfied with Li Tiezhu. Except for his age, his other external conditions are impeccable. Especially when he heard that he works at a grain station, he seems to have endless food in his life, and every month
The salary of eighty-seven and five yuan was worth her cousin's three months of hard work in the workshop swinging a sledgehammer. She was even more satisfied with Li Tiezhu.
Qin Huairu saw that Li Tiezhu and Qin Jingru were satisfied with each other, so she happily clapped her hands and said,
"I think it's better... let's just settle it like this."
"I think it will work."
As soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, Li Tiezhu immediately expressed his stance.
