Chapter 487 Zheng Juan, my mother wants to see you
After Wu Qian left, Wang Yafang suddenly smiled at Su Mingzhe and said:
"Brother Su, I didn't expect Wang Quan to find such a beautiful girlfriend."
"Are you beautiful? I think she's not as good as the three of you."
What Su Mingzhe said in this era is more like teasing than complimenting.
However, it was Wang Yafang who brought up this topic first, so after hearing this, she was not only not angry, but secretly happy:
"Brother Su, do you also think I'm beautiful?"
"Um."
Su Mingzhe looked at Wang Yafang and asked himself seriously, deliberately teasing her that she could only rank third among the three female educated youths.
However, those big, bright eyes were so beautiful that Su Mingzhe couldn't help the urge to 'talk nonsense' and nodded in acquiescence.
In fact, if we only compare in terms of looks, Wu Qian and Wang Yafang are equally good.
However, Wu Qian's cheekbones are slightly high, and her whole face has a slightly mean temperament and is not dignified enough.
Wang Yafang looks lively and cute, more lovable.
Of course, Wang Yafang is rated as young, beautiful, lively and cute.
The other two female educated youths, Xu Kai and Yu Hong, are at a higher level than them.
Half a year ago, Xu Kai's face was still Chinese-character face, with heroic facial lines, too dignified, and not a beautiful woman.
But after living in Bai Ya Mountain for half a year, maybe because of eating too much meat, or maybe because of the 18th female transformation, Xu Kai's face and body began to become rounder, more delicate, and more feminine.
.
Now if you look closely, you can see that her appearance is somewhat similar to Gao Xiaoqin in "In the Name of the People".
As for Yu Hong, she has beautiful features, a sweet smile, and a gentle temperament. She also has the dignity of a northerner.
Even though Xu Kai looks similar to Gao Xiaoqin, compared with her, Yu Hong is still equally matched.
These women stand together and compare.
Wang Yafang is a girl who is fine as a friend, but if she catches her, there will definitely be a lot of noise.
As for Wu Qian, Su Mingzhe has no feelings for her at all.
Yu Hong is undoubtedly the type who is most likely to seduce men.
Xu Kai is naturally charming and will arouse men's desire to conquer.
When Wang Yafang heard Su Mingzhe praising her, her eyebrows arched with laughter:
"Then we compare with your girlfriend, who is more beautiful?"
"Of course my girlfriend is beautiful."
It is impossible for Su Mingzhe to be confused by a little girl's movie.
After hearing this, Wang Yafang could only pout her lips to express her disbelief.
The two chatted like this for a while, and the temperature in the private room slowly rose.
Su Mingzhe looked at his watch and saw that it was almost five o'clock, so he took Wang Yafang downstairs to greet Gao Yaxuan and others.
Just like last time, at five minutes to five o'clock, Gao Yaxuan led people to the door of the hotel.
Everyone came to the box and sat down. Because there was an extra girl like Wang Yafang in the box, everyone's conversation became a little more restrained and they stopped telling dirty jokes.
But everyone's conversation became even better.
Each one of them talked about their glorious deeds when they were young, and their faces lit up with excitement.
Soon, Wu Qian and several waiters began to serve the dishes, and Su Mingzhe asked Wang Yafang to bring out the Maotai wine she had brought.
It stands to reason that since Moutai is well-known and the price is not cheap, everyone should be satisfied with this kind of hospitality.
However, many drivers couldn’t help but complain after having a few drinks:
"Su Zhiqing, we Northeastern gentlemen don't like to drink this kind of low-alcohol wine. Next time, you'd better take that bone-building wine."
"Brother, my wine is home-brewed. The output is too low, and the total is only a few kilograms. If you like it, I will leave a few kilograms for you in advance when it comes out of the cellar next year."
When Su Mingzhe heard that these people liked to drink bone-strengthening wine, he naturally understood that these drivers had recognized the medicinal effects of bone-strengthening wine.
However, it should be said that my bone-strengthening wine is mainly used for selling. Treating people to dinner and bone-strengthening wine is somewhat wasteful.
Everyone was eating and drinking, and the drunkenness was getting stronger.
Su Mingzhe began to whisper with Gao Yaxuan and chatted about business matters.
Gao Yaxuan's fleet mainly runs from Mulan County to Jichun City, and it is a one-way trip.
Su Mingzhe now wants to ask them to help transport some private goods to Baiya Mountain Village.
During this time, Gao Yaxuan often led people to buy Su Mingzhe's low-price bacon.
At this time, Su Mingzhe asked him for help, and he naturally would not refuse.
After a banquet, Gao Yaxuan returned with his colleagues satisfied.
Su Mingzhe and Wang Yafang sent everyone to the door and were about to leave separately, but Wang Yafang unexpectedly held their arms:
"Brother Su, if you drink, let me help you go back."
"No, I'm not drunk. I can go home by myself."
Su Mingzhe shook his arm and tried to pull it out of Wang Yafang's arms.
He just played poker with Zheng Juan this afternoon and is still in a sage state.
At this time, let alone Wang Yafang's intimate actions, even if she took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, Su Mingzhe could reject her unswervingly.
Faced with Su Mingzhe's rejection, Wang Yafang was not angry at all. Instead, she was filled with joy. She felt that he was worthy of being the man she liked. He could refuse a woman's advances and her character was really strong.
Later, Su Mingzhe sent Wang Yafang home.
In a blink of an eye, the next day came, Saturday.
Su Mingzhe got up, had breakfast, and ran to Zheng's house.
When Wang Yafang ran over, there were only Jiang Cuiping and her youngest son in the Su family.
"Hello, Auntie, I am... I am Su Mingzhe's colleague Wang Yafang. I came to see Su Mingzhe to hang out."
After all, Wang Yafang is a girl who has not yet left the court. She comes to a man's house alone and insists on going out with a man, which will make her blush.
"Mingzhe went out early in the morning, saying he was looking for his classmates."
Jiang Cuiping looked at Wang Yafang and felt that she looked familiar, so she didn't ask any questions.
Wang Yafang then asked where Su Mingzhe might be going.
Jiang Cuiping thought for a moment and then smiled:
"Why don't you go look for him at that house on Guangyi Street? Mingzhe often plays with their Zhou Bingyi."
"Zhou Bingyi? Is his sister called Zhou Rong?"
Zhou Bingyi was considered a popular figure in the school back then, and his sister Zhou Rong's appearance was comparable to that of his sister-in-law Hao Dongmei, and she was also named the new school beauty.
Therefore, although Wang Yafang, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong were not in the same class, she still knew them as siblings.
"It's their home."
Wang Yafang confirmed the address, responded, and ran towards Zhou Bingyi's house.
Unfortunately, when she ran to Zhou Bingyi's house, she didn't see Su Mingzhe.
Zhou Rong and Wang Yafang are in the same grade but in different classes.
Wang Yafang knew Zhou Rong, but Zhou Rong did not know Wang Yafang.
At this moment, Zhou Rong saw Wang Yafang coming to her home to look for Su Mingzhe, and she was a little curious, so she couldn't help but pull her and ask a few more questions.
Wang Yafang also just returned to Jichun City. It was rare to meet someone who was interested in the affairs of Baiya Mountain, so she stayed at Zhou's house and recounted her experiences in Baiya Mountain in the past six months with added detail.
Everyone in the Zhou family was stunned by her.
However, the Zhou family members unanimously noticed an important message:
"The leaders of Mulan County agree to give you five places to go to college?"
"Um."
When Wang Yafang said this, she couldn't help but said proudly: "It's all thanks to Brother Su. In as little as one year, as late as two or three years, all five of us will be able to go to college."
Just when Wang Yafang was chatting with the Zhou family.
Su Mingzhe had already given his brother-in-law Zheng Guangming acupuncture. After putting away the silver needles, he was about to take Zheng Juan out shopping, but was stopped by Zheng's mother:
"Juanzi, you and Mingzhe stay at home for now. I'll take Xiao Ming to buy some food. Let's make dumplings for lunch."
Seeing that Zheng's mother insisted on leaving with her brother-in-law, Su Mingzhe did not stop her. After all, it was already past nine o'clock, and he was too lazy to go out to find a guest house.
The two played cards for a while. When Zheng Juan was resting in the man's arms, she suddenly said:
"Mingzhe, the street came to my house recently and wanted to persuade me to go to the mountains and countryside. Otherwise, I would also sign up and go to White Ya Mountain to accompany you."
Explain it here.
Later, when people talked about "going to the mountains and going to the countryside," they always meant that educated youths went to the countryside to join the queue. In fact, this sentence is wrong.
The so-called "going to the mountains and countryside" originally meant sending educated youths to the countryside. However, starting from 1969, this scope was not limited to educated and educated youth, but referred to all young people of school age.
Girls like Zheng Juan who have never gone to school are also among the targets of mobilization.
Su Mingzhe has been in this era for so long and knows these things very well.
Facing Zheng Juan's gentle eyes, Su Mingzhe thought of Zhou Rong who had never felt anything for him. After frowning, he simply tightened his arms and hugged the woman hard:
"I'm not willing to be separated from you forever. On Monday, I will accompany you to the Educated Youth Office, help you go through the procedures, and try to arrange for you to be moved to Baiya Mountain Village. By then, we won't have to be separated."
Zheng Juan heard that the man agreed to let her go with him. She was depressed for days and was instantly liberated. It was rare that she took the initiative to play poker with the man.
At noon, Su Mingzhe had a meal of dumplings at Zheng's house, and then took Zheng Juan out shopping.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the streets are filled with a festive atmosphere.
Su Mingzhe took Zheng Juan shopping for two or three hours. It was getting dark before he sent her home.
When she got home, Su's mother Jiang Cuiping told her about Wang Yafang's visit during the day.
"Son, I think that girl is pretty good."
Su Mingzhe and Jiang Cuiping have had a mother-son relationship for more than 20 years. As soon as they heard the words, they knew what this biological mother was planning, and she must have begun to worry about her marriage again:
"Mom, I have a girlfriend."
"You have a girlfriend? Why didn't you tell mom? Where is she? What's her name?"
Jiang Cuiping is still very anxious about her boss's marriage.
After all, after the New Year, Su Mingzhe will be twenty-two years old, which is already an older youth in this era.
Su Mingzhe did not tell Jiang Cuiping the news about Zheng Juan before. In fact, he still wanted to have hope in pursuing Zhou Rong.
However, Zhou Rong wanted to follow her to White Ya Mountain today.
In addition, Wang Quan and others all know that Zheng Juan is his girlfriend.
After thinking about it, Su Mingzhe decided not to hide his biological mother:
"Her name is Zheng Juan, and she lives in Taiping Hutong."
Su Mingzhe just explained. When Jiang Cuiping's face changed, he knew that she was very dissatisfied with Zheng Juan's background in Taiping Hutong, so she quickly explained:
"The matter between me and her is a bit difficult to explain in words. Please calm down and listen to me explain it slowly..."
Su Mingzhe quickly told Jiang Cuiping about how he was a hero who failed to save a beauty but was saved instead.
"Mom, Zheng Juan is a good girl. She is willing to be poor, knows how to repay kindness, and is good at running a house. She is very suitable to take home as a wife."
When Jiang Cuiping saw her son praising Zheng Juan as a flower, she was so angry that her chest grew tight.
This doesn't mean that she doesn't believe in Su Mingzhe's vision.
It's because, as a mother-in-law, she is naturally hostile to her future daughter-in-law.
Su Mingzhe said a lot of good things for Zheng Juan. Seeing that his mother's face kept looking ugly, he had no choice but to continue to help Zheng Juan and said:
"Mom, when I came back this time, Zheng Juan also said that she would like to apply to accompany me to Mulan County to jump in and go to the countryside. Mom, tell me, how many girls in this city can do that?"
Jiang Cuiping was slightly moved when she heard that Zheng Juan was willing to go to Mulan County with her son:
"If she is really willing to go to Mulan County with you, that wouldn't be bad."
At this stage, the registered residence of young people who jump in the queue has been transferred from urban to rural areas.
No one knows whether there will be a chance to transfer this account back in the future.
Zheng Juan could give up her urban household registration and follow Su Mingzhe to the countryside.
In Jiang Cuiping's view, even if Zheng Juan was born in the dirty Taiping Hutong, it is not a big deal.
"Since she is ready to go to Mulan County with you, when will you bring her to your home and let mom meet her."
Although Jiang Cuiping began to agree with Zheng Juan in her heart, she was still a little uneasy without seeing the real person.
"Then I will go talk to her tomorrow and try to bring her back."
When Su Mingzhe saw that Jiang Cuiping agreed to take Zheng Juan home, he knew that this biological mother was willing to accept Zheng Juan.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe came to Zheng's house and gave his brother-in-law acupuncture first.
When Zheng's mother found another reason to take her son out, Su Mingzhe revealed the news that his mother wanted to see Zheng Juan.
Su Mingzhe noticed that Zheng Juan looked a little nervous and comforted:
"Don't worry, I am the one who will spend your whole life with you. Even if you have an unhappy conversation with my mother, you don't have to feel any psychological pressure."
"You put it lightly."
Zheng Juan must have felt very grateful for the man's comfort, but she still rolled her eyes at him:
"That's your mother, my future mother-in-law. How can I not be worried when we meet for the first time?"
Su Mingzhe also didn't expect that Zheng Juan would give him a look, and his heartbeat could not help but start to beat faster.
All I can say is that this woman is beautiful, even if she rolls her eyes, she is so beautiful.
Zheng Juan was a very smart woman. She knew what the man was going to do when she looked at each other. She gave him a wink and went to bed on the kang.
At noon, Zheng's mother came back with Zheng Guangming, and Su Mingzhe told her again about taking Zheng Juan home.
Zheng's mother was both surprised and happy about the news.
Although she had long seen that Su Mingzhe was sincere to her daughter, Su Mingzhe was too good.
In Zheng's mother's eyes, the two families were from the wrong family and had the wrong households. Her daughter Zheng Juan was not worthy of Su Mingzhe.
Affected by old ideas, Zheng's mother once thought that Su Mingzhe would raise Zheng Juan as an "outer wife".
(Su Mingzhe originally pursued Zhou Rong and was indeed planning to let Zheng Juan be the concubine.)
Now, Su Mingzhe suddenly told Zheng's mother that he wanted to take Zheng Juan home to meet her parents and prepare to discuss marriage.
Mother Zheng's excitement calmed down, and she pulled Su Mingzhe and asked:
"Son, did your mother say, when will you take Juanzi home?"
"My mother asked me to ask Juanzi when it is convenient and take her back."
Su Mingzhe paused, and his eyes hesitated:
"My mother works at the Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory. Today is the weekend off and she has to go to work again tomorrow. I thought it would be better to take her back today."
"Yes, yes, you are right. It is better to choose a day than to hit it."
Mother Zheng nodded repeatedly after hearing Su Mingzhe's analysis:
"Juanzi, after dinner, you clean up...forget it, I'll cook, Mingzhe, you come and help Juanzi prepare the food. This is the first time you meet your future mother-in-law, so you must clean up neatly."
"Auntie, you are not in a hurry for this moment."
Su Mingzhe felt a little embarrassed to see Zheng's mother being so solemn.
Zheng Juan, the future daughter-in-law, is going to meet her mother-in-law, so it’s okay to be a little nervous.
Mother Zheng was also nervous, which was a bit inappropriate.
