Chapter Fourteen, The Old Lady's Thoughts

A few steamed buns may not matter much now, but in this era when every household eats steamed buns, they are precious.

Qin Huairu came up early in the morning to deliver steamed buns to their family, and Su Cheng couldn't let Su Cheng think too much.

Su Cheng is not disgusted with fawning over you, but he is afraid that she has some other thoughts and wants to train him like a fool, and Su Cheng can't bear it anymore.

On the other hand, the old lady next to me has been living in the courtyard. Although she rarely walks around, she can still see the people and things in the courtyard very clearly. She immediately said,

"It's almost four years since Qin Huairu took over her man's job, right? I heard that the factory has been stuck in not offering her a full-time position."

The old lady didn't say too much, but Su Cheng immediately reacted. It was still the end of 1965, and according to the rhythm of the movies and TV dramas he had watched before, Qin Huairu had to wait until he returned to the factory after the New Year to finally give it to her.

After I became a regular employee, my salary increased from the current ten yuan to more than twenty yuan.

At this moment, I should be anxious to become a full-time employee next year. If I can get an extra ten yuan earlier, my family's situation will also improve.

Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, this is what Qin Huairu had in mind!

Su Cheng couldn't help but think that it was no wonder that Qin Huairu was in a hurry to introduce her partner and delivered steamed buns to his house in the early morning.

He pondered for a while, then decided to ask the old lady for her opinion and asked,

"Grandma, what do you think about Qin Huairu?"

After a pause, he decided to tell him about the person Qin Huairu wanted to introduce to him last night and said,

"I met her in our hospital last night. She told me that she had a cousin from the country who was still unlucky and wanted to bring her to see me, so I agreed."

When the old lady heard this, she frowned slightly.

Although the old lady is kind-hearted, she is also somewhat selfish, not to mention that this matter concerns her grandson.

He felt that his grandson was a promising man, so how could he be dating a country bumpkin?

So he opened his mouth and said,

"Chengzi, grandma, I don't agree with this. It's not that grandma looks down on country girls, but after all, we are also city people, and you are also a leader. What's the matter with finding a country girl? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Su Cheng sighed. He had a premonition before that the old lady would oppose this matter. Although she always talked about marrying a wife, once the candidate for a wife appeared, she would weigh it in her heart. But the old lady would

My wife does not have the ability to foresee the future. She does not know that the storm is coming. When the time comes, she marries a wealthy family or a restless master, which will inevitably cause some unnecessary troubles.

On the contrary, for a country girl like Qin Jingru, whose background is hard to find fault with, and who can devote her whole heart to you, and who is diligent and diligent, and can take care of the family and help take care of the old lady, it would not be a bad thing to spend this period in a stable manner.

But Su Cheng didn't want to upset the old lady, so he immediately said,

"Grandma, this matter hasn't been settled yet. Why are you so anxious? I'm just going to have a look with her. Then I will bring the person to you and let you hold your hand. It's up to you whether it will happen or not. If you are not satisfied

, can your grandson still disobey you?"

This is not Su Cheng's intention to deceive the old lady. If he meets Qin Jingru's eyes when they look at each other, Su Cheng will try to get Qin Jingru to get along with the old lady. If the old lady is really dissatisfied with Qin Jingru's granddaughter-in-law,

Su Cheng could only let it go. As for the elopement drama of Aunt Qiong Yao, think about it and forget it. The feelings we have for each other these days are not that high.

"Chengzi, just have some confidence in your heart."

The old lady obviously listened to Su Cheng's words, and her face softened a little, and then she talked about Qin Huairu,

"Chengzi, it's not easy for Qin Huairu. The man died a long time ago, and there is a wicked and lazy mother-in-law. She has to feed three babies who are waiting for food by herself. Her family is the most difficult in this courtyard."

After thinking about it for a while, the old lady said again,

"Grandma, although I don't despise what Qin Huairu did, I can compare myself with my own. A widow has to support such a big family and it's no wonder she gets involved in some people. But there is one thing about Qin Huairu that makes grandma convinced. She still has her own

The bottom line is that you don’t do morally corrupt things, and you have thorns on your body, so you know how to protect yourself.”

After speaking, the old lady sighed again and said,

"People's hearts are made of flesh, and they belong to neighbors. If we can help, let's do it."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

Su Cheng nodded in agreement. As he said before, Su Cheng didn't dislike Qin Huairu. If he had the ability, it wouldn't hurt to help.

Immediately after, the old lady remembered something again and said with a straight face,

"It's one thing to help others, but don't have any thoughts about them."

Yes, this old lady is still a little worried about Qin Huairu's ability to seduce people, and she is afraid that Su Cheng will fall into the trap of this vixen.

Su Cheng couldn't say much, so he could only nod in agreement, and then said a few trivial words.

Before I knew it, I was already three strokes ahead.

After simply clearing away the pots and pans on the table, Su Cheng took some identity documents and prepared to go to the street to confirm the relationship between household registration and food. If there was still time, he would go to Chaoyang Vegetable Market.

In the last round, he added some rice and white flour to his family. He really didn’t want to drink any more cob porridge. The cob noodles these days are different from the corn flour produced by machines in later generations. There are a lot of broken pieces of corn stalks in it, making it hard.

Yes, you really pinch your throat when eating!

But not long after Su Cheng left the house, the old lady picked up the crutches on the wall, hunched over, locked the door, and left the courtyard, walking in the direction of Erxian Bridge, running opposite to Su Cheng.

As for why the door is locked, here is a brief explanation. It is said that the folk customs in this era were simple, and it was popular that every household did not lock the door while sleeping. However, no one ordered expensive things. Most people would sleep at night or there was no one at home.

The door will still be closed.

Looking back, what did the old lady want to do when she went to Erxian Bridge? And she didn't tell Su Cheng. Instead, as soon as Su Cheng left, the old lady hurried out the door.

This was because the old lady heard that Qin Huairu was going to introduce someone to Su Cheng in the morning, and she felt a little anxious. She was afraid that Su Cheng would really fall in love with the country girl and she would be upset.

Although the old lady doesn't move around often, who doesn't have a few relatives?

It's just that the old lady has limited legs and feet, and she doesn't come from a wealthy family. She lacks some support from her relatives, so she moves around less.

Today, her grandson has become a leader in the steel rolling mill. The old lady originally thought that after Su Cheng went to work and settled down, she would find someone to find a partner for him.

When the time comes, with her grandson's condition, will she still be worried about not being able to find a satisfactory wife?

But just one night after she came back, someone found a partner for her. If she was well-matched, there would be nothing to say to her, but a country girl, wouldn't she wrong her grandson?

The old lady was thinking that she had to find a satisfactory daughter-in-law for the country girl before she met Su Cheng, but she couldn't take advantage of that girl.
