Qin Family Village, Qin Huairu's house.
It was past 10 in the morning. Qin Dashan squatted outside his house to draw blood and smoke.
Ever since he did not get to see his daughter's boyfriend yesterday, all kinds of rumors in the village broke out again. His mood became especially heavy. He did not sleep well last night and did not even go to the brigade today.
The atmosphere in the room was also very gloomy.
Qin Huairu's younger brother, Qin Jianshe, was only 14 years old. He was at the age where he couldn't keep his cool. When he saw his mother and sister in such a state, he slammed the table and stood up." It's all Er Lengzi's family's fault. If it weren't for their big mouths, no one would have found out about this. I'll go find them now."”
"Stop right there." Qin Dashan shouted," Haven't you had enough of those gossips?”
"Jianshe, listen to your father. We can't make a fuss about this. Everyone in the village is staring at us now. If we make a fuss, who knows what the outside world will say?”
As she spoke, Mother Qin quickly pulled her son to sit down.
Then, she sighed and looked at Qin Huairu." Big girl, is that boyfriend of yours really reliable? We agreed to come yesterday, but now…only he can solve this problem. Otherwise, your reputation will…"
"Brother Yong might have been delayed by something.”Although Qin Huairu said that, she didn't feel confident at all.
Now, she was also filled with anxiety.
Although she didn't believe that Chen Yong would lie to her, she couldn't guarantee that she was completely confident.
"Alright, since Big Niu said so, then we'll just wait patiently.”Qin Dashan stood up. No matter what, he could only believe his daughter's words now. It was time for him to go out and take a look. At least, those people would not dare to spread the news too much when he was around.
"Hello, is this Qin Huairu's house?”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"It's Brother Yong!" Qin Huairu was so excited that she stood up and ran out.
Chen Yong looked at the tree beside the courtyard and thought that this should be the house. Before he could take a good look at the courtyard, the courtyard door creaked open from the inside. Soon after, Qin Huairu appeared in front of her.
"Brother Yong, you're here."
"I had something to do at the factory yesterday. I thought you might be anxious from waiting, so I asked for leave today.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu came to a sudden realization and her face flushed red. While she was filled with happiness, she quickly noticed the bicycle in Chen Yong's hands.
"Wow, what a new bicycle."
Chen Yong chuckled." I just bought this car today. How is it? Do you like it?"”
"Yes, I like it." Qin Huairu nodded repeatedly.
A bicycle was a rare item at this time. Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, very few people owned one. Chen Yong actually bought a bicycle, which made him even more important in Qin Huiru's heart.
Qin Huairu was no longer as solemn as before. Her face was smiling so brightly that it looked like a flower.
"Big girl, quickly invite someone in.”
Qin Dashan's voice rang out from the courtyard, causing Qin Huairu to wake up immediately.
"Yes…yes, Brother Yong, let's go inside. My parents and brother are inside.”Qin Huairu's face turned redder as she spoke. However, there were no outsiders here, so she was not so embarrassed that she was at a loss.
Following Qin Huiru into the courtyard, Chen Yong immediately noticed Qin Dashan who was in the courtyard.
He could tell that this was Mr. Qin just by looking at his age. After all, Qin Huairu's younger brother was only 14 years old. Even if he looked anxious, he shouldn't be so anxious.
He quickly parked the car, and with Qin Huairu's help, he took everything from the back rack. Then, he quickly walked up to Father Qin and said politely," Uncle, my name is Chen Yong. I'm Huairu's boyfriend. I was supposed to come over yesterday, but something suddenly happened at the factory. I'm really sorry for making you wait for so long.”
Qin Dashan sized him up.
For the time being, he was very satisfied with the man his daughter had found, be it in terms of appearance or style of speech.
More importantly, the other party had come here on a bicycle. Compared to Qin Huiru's knowledge, Qin Dashan knew better what a bicycle represented. If the bicycle was not borrowed, it meant that the other party's conditions were also among the top in the city.
"Work is important. It's good that you're here.”
Qin Dashan was not a talkative person. After he finished speaking, he led Chen Yong into the house. As soon as he entered, Qin Huairu took the initiative to introduce him. Chen Yong hurriedly greeted Mother Qin and Qin Jianshe politely.
Unlike Qin Dashan, Mother Qin was much more enthusiastic.
"Aiya, Xiao Chen, quickly sit down and rest. Jianshe, quickly pour some water for Xiao Chen.”
Qin Jianshe was looking at Chen Yong curiously.
This person was her future brother-in-law?
It was mainly because of Chen Yong's dignified Chinese tunic suit that he could not help but feel a little envious. When he heard his mother's instructions, he could only hurriedly run to the kitchen to get a bowl of water.
Chen Yong didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the stool with a smile.
After a while, Qin Jianshe poured a bowl of water.
At this time, the conditions in the countryside were just like this. Drinking water was not as particular as drinking water in the city. In the summer, they drank it directly from prostitutes, and in the winter, they drank it from a big bowl.
Chen Yong did not mind at all. He picked up the bowl and took a big gulp.
Although it was freezing outside, he was not cold at all after riding for dozens of miles. His clothes were even sweating, and his throat was extremely thirsty.
Seeing Chen Yong's behavior, the Qin Family's few people could not help heaving a sigh of relief.
At this time, the villagers felt inferior to the city people. As the saying went, the more inferior they were, the more they cared. Previously, when they brought the water up, the Qin family was worried that Chen Yong would dislike it. Fortunately, this did not happen.
Chen Yong had no idea that he could gain a lot of favor from the Qin family just by drinking water.
"Xiao Chen, can you tell me about your situation?”
Mrs. Qin became even more enthusiastic. The more she looked at Chen Yong, the more she liked him. She couldn't wait to ask.
"I…"
It was still the same story as before. Chen Yong first briefly introduced his memory loss, then talked about his current job, including his monthly salary of 34 yuan, including the fact that he could raise it to 49 yuan in a year.
The main thing was that Qin Huairu knew all of this and had probably told her family about it, so there was no need to hide anything.
After listening to Chen Yong's introduction, Mr. Qin looked at him with shock. He had been a farmer all his life and had been an honest farmer all his life. Now, Xin was much better than before. The whole family could only earn 30 to 40 yuan a year. He really couldn't imagine what kind of life 34 yuan a month was.
In fact, it was because of the lack of information at this time that Qin Dashan did not know that the city and the countryside could not be compared in this way.
At this time, the villages had already established a community, which emphasized collective production and collective distribution. The farmers earned centimeters according to the work assigned by the brigade, and then the harvest was distributed according to centimeters. This distribution was calculated according to the purchase price.
However, when buying food in the city, it was calculated according to the sales price.
The difference between one mile and one outside was not small.
In general, the ratio of centimeters in the countryside to that in the city was 1:2.
Otherwise, the four members of the Qin family would only earn 30 yuan per centimeter every year. Based on the average living standard of 5 yuan in the city, wouldn't their family starve to death?
Mother Qin and Qin Jianshe were also shocked.
Qin Huairu was the only one who had known about this beforehand. She was currently looking at Chen Yong with a face full of pride.
She was glad that she went to the rolling mill that day.
Otherwise, how could she have met such a good man?
As soon as she thought of losing Chen Yong, she couldn't help but panic. While her parents and younger brother were in a daze, she moved the stool slightly closer to Chen Yong.
