Qin Huairu finished washing her clothes and as soon as she entered the house, Jia Zhang came up to her and pulled Qin Huairu to sit down on a bench aside.
Then he asked dissatisfiedly,
"What were you talking about to Su Cheng in the Intermediate Court just now? We talked for so long?"
Qin Huairu frowned, but still explained,
"Mom, didn't my cousin reply to the letter today and agree to go on a blind date? I will confirm the time with him."
Jia Zhang didn't really believe Qin Huairu's words and said suspiciously,
"You want to stand there and talk for a long time about this little thing?"
Qin Huairu was unhappy. The day before yesterday, she suspected him of being unruly because of the two lunch boxes. Now she just said a few words to someone in the yard, and she became suspicious. She also said angrily,
"Then what do you think? Since you don't trust me, why don't you wash Bangge's clothes and wait for me to wash them when I come back from get off work?"
Jia Zhang knew she was in the wrong, but she still pointed at Qin Huairu to take care of their family. Her expression changed immediately. She was really afraid that Qin Huairu would just drop the burden and ignore it. She said softly,
"Huai Ru, Mom has misunderstood you. It's not that I don't want to help the children wash clothes, it's just that I have a headache and can't touch the water."
Qin Huairu naturally knew that her mother-in-law was a lazy person, so she didn't expose her. After all, she usually went to work, and her mother-in-law had to keep an eye on the child, so she could only tolerate it for the time being, but she also said,
"You are so precious, but whenever I ask you to do something, I have a headache."
When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's words, she was not angry. Instead, she pretended not to hear and changed the subject:
"I just saw that Su Cheng was carrying a cloth bag. What's in it?"
Qin Huairu said impatiently,
"What else could be packed in a cloth bag? Of course it's food."
When she heard it was food, Jia Zhang's eyes widened and she murmured,
"I see this bag is bulging, maybe it weighs twenty pounds? What is he doing?"
Su Cheng sent food to Liu Ergen's family but did not give it to their family. Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable and said angrily at the moment,
"The Liu family in the front yard is in trouble. Su Cheng is rushing to deliver food to their family."
"Our family is also in difficulty. Why doesn't he send some to our family?"
Jia Zhang also puffed up her face and said very displeasedly,
"Thanks to you, you sent a basket of steamed buns to their house the day before yesterday. This is a white-eyed wolf."
…
Just because of a bag of grain, Su Cheng was labeled a white-eyed wolf by Jia Zhang, and he didn't know this.
At this moment, he had already come out of Liu Ergen's house. As soon as he stepped into the backyard door, he heard a silver bell-like laughter coming from inside the house.
Su Cheng opened the curtain and entered the room. A girl with two braids and a delicate face came into view.
Before Su Cheng could speak, the girl smiled sweetly and shouted,
"Brother Su Cheng."
This girl is none other than Shazhu's sister He Yuyu. She had a good relationship with Su Cheng in the past, and she was the kind of person who followed him like a little slug.
Su Cheng saw He Yuyu and Si Zhu who was sitting on a bench with him. He also smiled and said,
"The rain is coming. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown into a pretty girl."
Then he looked at the five-big and three-thick Silly Zhu and said,
"Si Zhu, you are here too. What's wrong with you two brothers and sisters? You don't usually see each other, but when you come here, you all come."
The deaf old lady half leaned on the bedside and said with a smile,
"Yu Yu is getting married, and he's here to send wedding candies to our family."
He Yuyu on the side looked shy when he heard the old lady's words, while Sha Zhu on the side looked like he didn't care very much.
Seeing what the old lady said, Su Cheng looked at the square table in the room. Sure enough, there were some toffee and peanut melon seeds on it. Although he knew that her target was a police officer, he still asked as usual,
"Yu Yu, congratulations. What does your partner do and when do you plan to get married?"
He Yuyu's slender fingers tugged at the braid hanging down in front of his collarbone, and said rather embarrassedly,
"He is a police officer and is usually very busy at work. We plan to get the certificate first at the end of the year and then organize the wedding when he has time."
Su Cheng nodded and said,
"That's good. Your brother is the chef of our steel rolling mill. When the time comes, let your brother prepare the banquet for you. It will definitely be good."
Then Su Cheng looked at Shazhu again and considered,
"Silly Zhu, we used to live in a large courtyard, and Yuyu liked to follow me crazy. I also regarded her as my sister. How are you preparing for the dowry? Don't let Yuyu marry her and let her family look down upon her.
.”
Hearing Su Cheng's words, He Yuyu's originally smiling face also showed a hint of bitterness, but it was quickly hidden.
The deaf old lady leaning on the bed also looked at Silly Zhu.
But at this time, Silly Zhu blushed and said hesitantly,
"Preparing."
Su Cheng looked at Sha Zhu's embarrassed look and knew without guessing that Sha Zhu was not prepared for anything.
Immediately he asked,
"Tell me what you have prepared."
Silly Zhu couldn't sit still at this moment and said ruthlessly,
"Why don't I tell you what I'm planning?"
Naturally, Yu Yu on the side knew his own situation and hurriedly came out to smooth things over for Silly Zhu.
"Brother Su Cheng, my brother originally offered to buy me a new bicycle, but I refused. Aren't you saying that women can hold up half the sky? I have a job and can earn a dowry for myself. My brother's money will be given to me.
He keeps it for himself to marry his wife."
When Shazhu heard what He Yuyu said, he immediately felt ashamed. In the past few years, although he had received a salary of more than thirty yuan a month,
But he didn't save much money, so he kept it close to Qin Huairu and his family.
Now when his biological sister got married and was asked about the dowry by Su Cheng, he realized that he had not prepared anything and could not afford to prepare anything. At this time, he wanted to find a gap to slip in.
The deaf old lady next to her looked at the embarrassed Silly Zhu, her heart was as clear as a mirror at this moment, and she immediately scolded,
"You silly Zhuzi, Yuyu is your biological sister. They say that an elder brother is like a father. How can you not prepare a dowry for your own sister when she gets married?"
The deaf old lady didn't realize at this time that it wasn't that Silly Zhu didn't prepare, but that she didn't have the money to prepare. No matter how smart the old lady was, she would never have thought that the canteen chef who received a monthly salary of thirty-seven and five yuan would actually
I couldn't even afford a dowry, so I spent all of it to help Qin Huairu's family.
Facing the old lady's questioning, Shazhu didn't dare to be stunned, he could only hesitate and say,
"Get ready! I'll get ready when I get back!"
The deaf old lady's expression softened somewhat after hearing this, she nodded and said,
"This is ridiculous. Yu Yu is getting married. We don't dare to talk about the four big things, but at least there must be one big thing, right?"
The four big things the old lady mentioned were bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios.
If there is not hundreds of things in it, don’t even think about it.
At this time, when Sha Zhu heard the old lady's words, he couldn't express the pain on his face, but he still said bravely,
"Old lady, why don't I just listen to you?"
When the old lady heard this, she said with a straight face,
"What do you call me, old lady? Call me grandma. You and Chengzi are both my good grandchildren."
Upon hearing this, Si Zhu said helplessly,
"Come on, grandma! You are really my ancestor!"
The deaf old lady also laughed with satisfaction when she heard Silly Zhu's teasing.
Then he fished out a handkerchief wrapped with money from the bedside.
There were a few big unity sheets and some bills rolled up in a ball. The old lady didn't hesitate.
He directly pulled out all the big ones, called Shazhu to the front and back of the bed and said,
"Silly Zhuzi, come here, madam, this is my private money. You can use it to make some dowry for Yuyu."
How can I want this stupid pillar? He immediately waved his hands and said,
"Grandma, no need, I have it. And Su Cheng isn't married yet, so you can keep it for him."
He Yuyu also echoed at this time,
"Grandma, you really don't need it. You can leave it to Brother Su Cheng."
Su Cheng watched this scene from the side and shook his head,
The old lady really regarded Silhu and Yuyu as relatives, otherwise she would not have given such advice and spent all her personal money.
Su Cheng also spoke out at this moment,
"Silly Pillar, it's a gift from the elders. I can't refuse it, so just take it!"
Then came another murderous and heartbreaking words,
