Chen Ping returned with Qin Huairu.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two of them were shocked.
A group of people stood in the courtyard.
They were all neighbors.
The elders of the three courtyards all came out and stood in the middle of the courtyard.
Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi stood in the middle of the crowd.
Chen Ping frowned when he saw the two of them.
Was he trying to snatch her away?
Qin Huairu was also stunned.
He saw Jia Dongxu, dressed in a new uniform, walking over in large strides. He stood in front of Qin Huairu and took out the twenty yuan in his hand.
"Comrade Qin Huairu, I hope you can marry me. This is the betrothal gift of 20 yuan. It's from our Jia family.”
"Twenty?"
Qin Huairu was slightly stunned. She asked in astonishment,""Didn't you say last time that your family could only pay ten yuan as a betrothal gift?”
"It was originally only ten yuan."
Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu seriously.""But I still decided to take out 20 yuan to marry you. I'll let you see my sincerity."
"My son is very good."
Jia Zhangshi pursed her lips and said,"My son is a third-grade fitter. He has a bright future in the steel mill." Ask me if you don't believe me.| Grandpa, he is my son's master."”
Yi Zhonghai also spoke up.
He first glanced at Chen Ping, then chuckled and said,"I won't say much. I can only say that I'm Xiao Jia's master and take care of him in the factory. In any case, it would not be a problem for him to pass the fourth-grade fitter next year.”
Liu Haizhong also added,"A fourth-grade fitter's salary can rise to more than forty yuan." In a steel mill with ten thousand people, a Level Four fitter was considered a mainstay.”
"Of course."
Yan Bugui nodded." We watched Xiao Jia grow up. We know him very well." Big Sister Zhang of the Jia family was also a warm-hearted person.”
Speaking of this, Yan Bugui looked at Chen Ping and smiled,""Of course, Xiao Chen is also a good child. Yes, yes, that's right."
Nothing.
In the crowd.
Silly Zhu kept staring at Qin Huiru.
But he didn't say anything.
His eyes were filled with passion.
Xu Damao was also sizing Qin Huairu up.
A wretched smile appeared on his face.
The other neighbors in the courtyard were basically praising Jia Dongxu.
Chen Ping knew very well.
At this time, Jia Zhangshi was not so vicious. At most, she would splash a little, so the neighbors valued the Jia family more.
Chen Ping lived alone in this courtyard.
He had no parents.
He lived in seclusion and rarely spoke, so the neighbors felt that he was not easy to get along with.
Therefore, at this time, most people were more inclined to help Jia Dongxu.
At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on Qin Huairu's face.
This girl from the countryside was really good-looking.
The more he looked at it, the better it looked.
Especially that small mouth.
The corners of his mouth curled up, showing his character.
When Jia Dongxu saw that Qin Huiru was silent, he immediately took a step forward and said to Qin Huiru,""Comrade Qin Huairu, I fell for you on our first blind date.”
"I'm serious."
"You've seen our family's financial strength.”
"Ask Chen Ping if he can afford a betrothal gift of twenty yuan.”
"Chen Ping, can you afford it?"
Jia Dongxu looked at Chen Ping and questioned.
Chen Ping glanced at him and said lightly,"I can't afford the betrothal gift.”
"Listen, he can't even afford the betrothal gift. Huai Ru, follow me. I promise that after you marry me, you will live a happy life.”
Jia Dongxu spared no effort in recommending him.
However, Qin Huairu remained silent.
The atmosphere was a little stiff.
Chen Ping was also pondering in his heart.
Many doujin novels would have a twist this time.
Qin Huairu would always say that she despised the poor and loved the rich, leaving the main character for the betrothal gift of 20 yuan.
Would he?
At this moment, Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and took out another ten yuan from his pocket. He looked at Qin Huairu and said anxiously,""Marry me, thirty yuan betrothal gift.”
When she saw that her son had hidden ten yuan, Jia Zhangshi almost cursed.
Fortunately, she held back.
However, the other neighbors couldn't help it.
They all laughed and started discussing.
"Look at this Little Jia. He's playing with such little tricks. He actually hid ten yuan."
"Yes, I am. If only you had taken them out earlier."
"I knew it. Taking out 30 yuan at once was enough to show his sincerity. He had even hidden ten yuan before increasing the bid.”
"What a joke."
"Jia Dongxu, you're not even married yet and you're already hiding your money?”
"Hahahahaha, Jia Dongxu, you're too funny.”
……
The neighbors laughed.
Xu Damao's laughter was even more ridiculous. He laughed out loud and said as much as he could.
Jia Dongxu's face turned red from the insult. He anxiously argued loudly,"I didn't mean that. Don't talk nonsense. I just suddenly remembered that I still had ten yuan in my pocket.”
"Alright, stop explaining."
Silly Zhu leaned against the door, both hands in his sleeves, he smiled and said,""The more you describe it, the darker it gets."
Everyone laughed.
Chen Ping also had a half-smile on his face.
Jia Dongxu was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He looked at Qin Huairu and said loudly,""As long as you marry me, you will be the head of the Jia family.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd cheered even more.
In the 1960s, most families were headed by men. There were no women in charge.
It was obvious that Jia Dongxu was just spouting nonsense.
How could his mother let his new wife be the head of the household?
Nonsense.
Finally, Qin Huairu moved.
Her bright and moving eyes looked carefully at Jia Dongxu in front of her. She looked at his new work clothes, his flushed face, and his nervous but wretched gaze.
Then, he slowly reached out and took the money from Jia Dongxu's hand.
At that moment, the entire courtyard fell silent.
Did he really choose Jia Dongxu?
Smart.
The Jia family had an elder who could take care of the children and manage the household.
He was the only one in Chen Ping's family.
It would be difficult to take care of children in the future.
Smart women would choose Jia Dongxu.
They were both registered in the city, and they were also living on food in the city. Why didn't they choose a third-grade fitter and an eighth-grade fitter master? Moreover, they had an elderly family.
Chen Ping's expression was calm as he watched Qin Huairu take the money from Jia Dongxu.
No matter what the outcome was, he could accept it.
He was an elite of the 21st century.
He couldn't be like the people in the late fifties, who had no self-restraint and demeanor.
Opposite him.
Jia Dongxu was ecstatic.
Her breathing was so rapid that she almost choked on her own saliva.
Panting heavily and coughing twice, he looked at Qin Huairu and shouted excitedly,""Huai Ru, you…did you choose me?”
"I choose you…my ass."
Qin Huairu suddenly rolled her eyes, and the fiery aura on her body finally appeared.
She threw the money in her hand at Jia Dongxu's face, raised her eyebrows, and scolded in a delicate voice,""Jia Dongxu, are you crazy? Can't you see that I came in with Chen Ping?”
"Why are you blocking me here?”
"Twenty yuan for a while, thirty yuan for a while. I just met you and you're already playing tricks on me. Only a fool would marry you.”
"Do I care about your ten or twenty yuan?”
"Although I came from the countryside, I know what shame is.”
"I'm already with Chen Ping. I came back this time to discuss when we'll get married. So just give up and stop harassing me, do you hear me?”
"Playing tricks."
"You're still playing tricks with a bear like you? And he had ten yuan in his pocket? Embarrassing."
"Get up."
Qin Huairu reached out and pulled Jia Dongxu to the side.
Because she came from the countryside, she had been doing manual labor since she was young. Not to mention that her strength was not small, she almost pulled Jia Dongxu over.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu held Chen Ping's hand and turned around to enter Chen Ping's house.
It was a small one-bedroom apartment located at the corner of the middle court.
Behind him.
Jia Dongxu was dumbfounded.
He was actually…rejected by a village girl.
