Zheng Zhendong looked at Qin Huairu who had walked into his home, and couldn't help but sigh. She was indeed the Thirteenth Aunt in her youth. She was really good-looking.
No wonder Jia Dongxu was hung on the wall early, but he is so cheap in this life, if only two days ago...
Hey! You can’t think too much. After all, you are about to become your sister-in-law. You will end up thinking too much.
Zheng Zhendong quickly shook his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind, and then walked home.
Entering the house, they greeted a few people with polite words. Zheng's mother gave up her seat to Qin Chunhe and Qin Huairu. After they were seated, she ordered Zheng Zhendong to pour tea.
Zheng's mother took out the melon seeds, peanuts and candies from the back bedroom that she asked Zheng Zhendong to buy yesterday, and warmly entertained the Qin family's father and daughter.
The few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then got down to business.
Mother Zheng looked at Qin Huairu with satisfaction and said to Qin Chunhe.
"His Uncle Qin!"
"I'm quite satisfied with your daughter Huairu. What do you think? Tell me."
Hearing what Zheng's mother said, Qin Chunhe said loudly with a smile.
"Ouch!"
"Sister-in-law of the Zheng family, as long as you are satisfied, that's fine. As a farmer, how can we have so many ideas!"
"But I wonder if your eldest son would be willing?"
"Although we used to pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, now we are in a new society. We have to ask young people what they think, right?"
After hearing this, Mother Zheng thought for a while and said.
"Uncle Qin, please just keep it in your heart! My boss listens to me the most. Besides, your daughter is so beautiful, so he can enjoy herself secretly if nothing happens!"
Qin Chunhe listened to Mother Zheng's words and thought for a long time.
"Sister-in-law of the Zheng family, would you like to introduce the situation of your family?"
Mother Zheng said with embarrassment when Qin Chunhe asked this question.
"Look at me, I'm so busy. I didn't say anything about the situation at home. I just want to make a marriage decision. The main reason is that your daughter is so lovely."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll tell you about my family's situation right now."
"My family is not from the local area. I followed the team into the city this year. Since my grandfather's death, I have been participating in the revolution."
"But the old man's life was bad. He died while crossing the grass, and his body was even buried there."
"The child's father later joined the revolution and died on the anti-Japanese front in 1944."
"The baby is my mother, and I followed the baby's second uncle to live in the Northeast."
"The child's second uncle, Zheng Chengye, changed his job in the local area in 1948 and participated in local construction. He wrote that he was working at the Liao Provincial Police Station and was the deputy director of the Public Security Department."
"The eldest son Zheng Zhenguo, as can be seen from the name, has the intention to intimidate and suppress the Japanese army."
"The eldest brother joined the army when he was less than seventeen years old. He is 20 this year. He followed the army all the way south and is now suppressing bandits in the southwest."
"Boss wrote a letter some time ago saying that he has made many meritorious deeds. He is now the deputy platoon leader, but he will be back soon. I will let you see him when he comes back."
Mother Zheng talked for a long time, took a sip from the tea cup, and then continued.
"The second oldest, Zheng Zhenchuan, was born in western Sichuan. He is less than 17 years old this year. He joined the army on the way into the city some time ago."
After Zheng's mother finished speaking, she pointed and said to Zheng Zhendong, who was waiting on the side.
"This is the third child, Zheng Zhendong. He is 13 years old. When he was born, he just caught up with the invasion of the Oriental people. He was named Zheng Zhendong, which means eternal Zhendong of the Orient."
"The little girl who just went out is my daughter Zheng Xinyi. This child is almost 7 years old this year. When she was born, her father had just died and he had never seen her."
"Why!"
Speaking of this, Zheng's mother sighed, and couldn't help but think of her late husband Zheng Chengji who sacrificed her life, and she burst into tears.
Seeing Zheng's mother in tears, the three of them hurriedly tried to persuade her, and Zheng Zhendong even opened his mouth.
"Mom! My dad died on the battlefield. We should be proud of him. He was a hero, a great hero."
"As children, we are extremely proud to have such a father. He is our role model!"
"Please stop crying. It's time for Uncle Qin and my future sister-in-law to laugh at you. You're still crying at such an old age!"
Zheng's mother felt happy and sad at the same time when she heard what Zheng Zhendong said. She even couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the last few words, and then she spoke.
"You stinky old man! How dare you laugh at your mother and me? Just wait for me, and when I get back I will take care of you and let you know who is older and who is younger in this family!"
After saying this, Zheng's mother apologized to the Qin family's father and daughter again and again.
"Uncle Qin, Huairu!"
"I'm sorry! I've made you laugh. My third child is really spoiled by me. I'll take care of him when I have time."
Qin Chunhe quickly stopped and said.
"Sister-in-law of the Qin family! I think your third child is a sensible person!"
Someone else’s child went out to the city to hunt in the cold weather. Besides, it was clearly the third child of your family just now. He deliberately teased you in order to make you not sad!"
After saying that, he turned to give a thumbs up and asked.
"Xiao Zheng? Yes! I will also change my name and call you Lao San! What I just said is right!"
"Okay! Uncle Qin, you can call me whatever is convenient for you. Besides, in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety, there are colorful clothes to entertain relatives, so what I do is nothing!"
…
A few people drank tea, ate melon seeds and peanut candies, and chatted for a long time.
At this time, Qin Huairu asked Mother Zheng.
"Aunt Zheng! What does your brother Zhen Guo look like? Can you introduce him to me?"
Mother Zheng patted her head, stood up and said.
"Look at me! Ouch!"
"Waiting..."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, he walked towards the inner bedroom.
Just when the three of them were wondering, Zheng's mother came out of the bedroom again, holding several photo frames in her hand and handing them to the Qin family's father and daughter.
The father and daughter took the photo and looked at it carefully, muttering a few words in a low voice from time to time.
Qin Huairu looked at the photos carefully, then picked up a full-body photo of Zheng Zhenguo in military uniform, and asked Zheng's mother.
"Aunt Zheng! Can you give me this photo? I want it."
After speaking, she lowered her head shyly. When Mother Zheng heard Qin Huairu ask this question, although she felt reluctant to give up, she still pretended to be generous.
"Take it! What does this have? It's just a photo! You can take all of these."
Qin Huairu hurriedly declined.
"No! No need! One sheet is enough for me. You can keep the others!"
After saying that, carefully put it away.
Mother Zheng put away the other photos and put them back in the bedroom.
…
Everyone chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, Zheng's mother started to get up and prepare to cook.
Qin Huairu rushed forward to help, but Zheng's mother even said no, and the two argued for a long time.
Finally, Qin Chunhe said that he wanted Mother Zheng to see how his Huairu family was doing at home, and Mother Zheng reluctantly agreed.
Needless to say, Qin Huairu is really very nimble with her hands and feet. She can cut vegetables, cut meat, and wash vegetables.
