When Xu Damao was daydreaming.
Qin Jingru saw Xu Damao staring at her in a daze and lowered her head shyly."Brother Xu, why are you so good to me?”
Xu Damao came back to his senses and smiled,"Of course it's because I like you!"”
Qin Jingru's heart was pounding as she said happily,""Actually, I like you too. My family also likes you very much. Why don't we choose a suitable time to get married?”
The thought of becoming the second woman in the Qin family to marry into the city and enjoy a good life made her feel like she was dreaming.
F * ck, this girl was really straightforward.
Xu Damao was almost caught off guard, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and sighed."Jingru, I'm afraid I can't marry you.”
"What? W-why?" Qin Jingru panicked and said nervously," Did I make you hate me in some way? Or do you dislike my rural hukou..."
Xu Damao shook his head and said sincerely,""Of course not. I like you as a person. It has nothing to do with other conditions.”
"It's just that you've heard that I've just gotten a divorce. I'm not ready to accept another woman yet. I still need time to get used to it. If we get married in a hurry, it will be very unfair to you…"
"No problem! I'll wait for your Brother Xu!"
Qin Jingru was touched and blurted out.
"Jingru, you're so good. Don't worry, you're my girlfriend from now on.”
Xu Damao took her hand and said,""We don't have much time today. The next time you come to the city, I'll bring you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pair of Flying Deer brand leather shoes.”
Qin Jingru's attention was immediately diverted and she was overjoyed.""Brother Xu, you're so good to me! Don't worry, I'll be your girlfriend. I'll listen to you in the future.”
She had already begun to imagine how many girls would be envious of her beautiful Bragi and her fashionable leather shoes. They would turn their heads on the streets and see who would still laugh at her for being a poor peasant?
From frugality to extravagance, it was always so natural.
Starting from a beautiful dress, it was only natural to wear a pair of small leather shoes. It was also reasonable to wear high-end cotton socks.
Then the clothes that he usually changed into couldn't be of a material that was too inferior to Braj's, right? Dusk was about the same.
After that, he had to arrange the watches and jewelry.
She was dressed so well, and if she went to a small restaurant to make fun of her, it would be reasonable to go to a high-end restaurant to eat if she dirtied her clothes or cut her clothes.
He had settled his meals and clothes, and he had to put his travel and accommodation on the agenda. Otherwise, it would be too cheap to stay in a clay house and take an old tricycle…
At the very least, it had to be a Phoenix brand bicycle…
And then…
Then, the swamp became deeper and deeper…
Xu Damao would be the one to control this degree. After he officially became the head of the canteen, he would no longer be short of money. In fact, when the spring breeze of 1978 blew, money would just be a string of increasing numbers to him.
After the meal, Xu Damao rode his bicycle to send Qin Jingru to the bus station.
"If you go back to your cousin now, it would be very awkward if you meet Silly Zhu again. Why don't you go back to the countryside and hide for a while?”
Qin Jingru originally wanted to go back and show off her beautiful Bragi to Qin Huairu. However, after listening to Xu Damao's words, she thought about it seriously and felt that what he said made sense.
In addition, she was now obedient to Xu Damao, so she obediently bought a ticket.
"Take this two yuan. I can't let you pay for the travel expenses.”
Xu Damao handed two yuan to Qin Jingru.
"Brother Xu, you're so thoughtful!"
Qin Jingru beamed. As expected of Brother Xu, he was so generous. It was another two yuan!
She couldn't wait to see the shocked and envious eyes of her parents and siblings when she returned home. She would be the most beautiful woman in the village in this outfit!
Wouldn't the neighbors be envious to death?
Qin Jingru quickly glanced around. When the bus was about to leave, she quickly pecked Xu Damao on the face and shyly got on the bus.
"There's still this side!" Xu Damao laughed evilly and shouted.”
"I'll make it up to you next time." Qin Jingru waved her hand shyly.
After sending Qin Jingru off, Xu Damao rode his bicycle around the alley. Other than a few old men playing chess under the willow tree at the entrance of the alley, there were also a few seven or eight-year-old children setting off firecrackers. Unfortunately, Su Meng was nowhere to be seen. It was probably because Teacher Ran was kind enough to give Su Meng a lot of homework. This little girl must be very happy.
"White Rabbit Creamy Candy, first come, first served!”
Xu Damao shouted. A few brats heard the wind and moved, surrounding him.
Xu Damao gave each of them a pill and said,""Do you know Silly Zhu from the alley next door?”
The children looked at each other. Only a tall and thin boy raised his hand."I know. Is it the chef from the rolling mill?”
"Yes!"
Xu Damao was a little surprised. This kid not only knew Silly Zhu, but also knew that he worked in the rolling mill.
This focus was more mature and smarter than other children. Just now, when the other children were setting off firecrackers, he was the only one who quietly watched the old man play chess.
"You stay here and help me pass a message. I'll give you twenty cents to buy firecrackers.”
"No problem!" The little boy's eyes lit up as he agreed.
Xu Damao gave him a simple reminder and then gave him two cents. The little boy repeated it correctly and then sat on Xu Damao's bicycle.
The old man who was playing chess at the entrance of the alley glanced at it and then lowered his head to do his own thing.
The strict household registration management in this era was not afraid of you committing a crime and running away. There was no place to accommodate you. Moreover, these old men at the entrance of the alley were familiar with the people of each household. When they saw that it was Xu Damao's familiar face, they were relieved.
Otherwise, if outsiders came in, they would have to ask about it.
Otherwise, why would parents let their children play outside? Neighborhood was the greatest protection. Compared to the neighborhood relationship in the future where they did not even know who was next door, this era was indeed very warm.
Xu Damao led him around the streets of the courtyard house and indeed, they met He Yuzhu.
This was not surprising. He Yuzhu did not know about Qin Huairu's scheme. He only knew that the blind date he was serious about had gone to the public toilet and never returned. He was worried that something had happened or that he had gotten lost, so he hurriedly came out to look for her.
Qin Huairu pretended to be ignorant and split up perfunctorily.
"Silly Zhu!"
Xu Damao stopped He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu frowned and said impatiently,""Let me tell you, I don't have time to argue with you today. I have something important to do!”
"Morality! Why do I care about you!" Xu Damao maintained his persona as usual. He pointed at the little boy and said," This child is waiting at the door. He said he's looking for you."”
"Looking for me?"
He Yuzhu was stunned and looked at the little boy in confusion.
The boy did not have stage fright. He said,"Just now, a sister named Qin Jingru asked me to pass a message to you. Are you called Silly Zhu?"”
