Chapter 320: The Marriage between Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu

"The factory's cultural evening party is about to begin, I have to hurry back to the courtyard to pick up your Aunt Xu and Zhaodi, otherwise it will be too late.

What pillar? You guys go in first. I'll go back to pick someone up. We can talk later if there's anything else."

"Okay, Uncle Xu, you go ahead and do your work."

Wait for Xu Fugui to leave,

He Yuzhu first carried his sister down from the beam, and after Li Qingshan and He Jianguo got off the bike, he pushed the bicycle into the steel mill.

As we passed the gate, Zhou Yiming, the head of the steel mill security department, who I had just met at the militia in the afternoon, came to greet us.

"Captain He, welcome to our steel mill to inspect our work.

These are your brothers and sisters, I have seen them in the factory before, they are very polite children. "

After shaking hands with Zhou Yiming, He Yuzhu said with a smile,

"Chief Zhou, please stop talking like that. I just heard from my father and others that there will be a cultural evening at the steel mill tonight, so I came here to join in the fun.
I see there are a lot of people coming in and out, just go about your business."

Even though the superior-subordinate relationship in the militia was not as strict as that in the regular army, Zhou Yiming wanted to establish a good relationship with He Yuzhu just because of the various connections behind him.
At this time, I naturally wouldn't take He Yuzhu's polite words seriously.

"Captain He, please don't say that. This is your first time visiting our steel mill since you took office. You must meet the comrades in the security department.

I heard Ma Dui talking about your experience some time ago, and the comrades admired you very much.

How about you wait here for a while, Captain He? I will call all the comrades from the security department over so that we can get to know each other."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu still shook his head.

There were too many people, and he didn't want Zhou Yiming to make any big moves at this time.

"Safety is the top priority. The steel mill is busy today. I think your work pressure is very high. But you are gone now.
I will meet with my comrades after the party is over."

After hearing He Yuzhu say that they would meet after the party, Zhou Yiming didn't say anything more. As long as the goal could be achieved, it would be fine even if it was earlier or later.

"Okay, then I'll listen to Captain He."

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll just wander around the factory with my brothers and sisters."

After dealing with Zhou Yiming, He Yuzhu first put his bicycle in the shed at the door, and then led He Yushui and the others inside.
At this time, Li Qingshan muttered,

"Brother, it's great to come to the steel mill with you. It's so impressive.

When Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi and I came to the steel mill, the security department was very fierce and warned us not to steal things in the factory.

How could you be so easy to talk to like today? You even said we were polite.

How do they know we are polite when they didn’t even know our names before?”

"That's brother,

The people in the security department are very fierce, not at all as easy to talk to as they were today."

Seeing that He Yushui also looked indignant, He Yuzhu smiled and touched her little head.

"Okay, little girl,

He is a security guard. If he is not fierce, how can he scare people?
No one is afraid of them. How can they manage so many workers in the factory? If they can't manage them, something bad will happen sooner or later.

It’s not aimed at you kids.”

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Li Qingshan muttered a few words. Although he didn't say it out loud, he was obviously not very happy. However, He Yuzhu didn't care about him and followed the crowd to the auditorium of the steel rolling mill.

As soon as I arrived, I heard Xu Damao calling me, and then I saw him standing at the door of the auditorium waving at me, so I walked up to him with a smile.

"Da Mao, why are you running to the door instead of taking a seat inside?"

"Liu Guangqi is watching inside. I came out to pick you up because I'm afraid you might go to the wrong place.
By the way, Zhuzi, why are there only a few of you here? Where are Uncle He and Uncle Yida and the others? "

As soon as Xu Damao finished asking, He Yushui shouted happily,
"Brother Damao, my brother also has a bicycle. We rode here. My father and the others are still behind us. We have to wait for a while."

Xu Damao, who was just asking casually, immediately widened his eyes when he heard that He Yuzhu now also had a bicycle.

After understanding the whole story, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, He Yuzhu took the lead in asking,

"Oh, Damao, I remember that before I joined the army, although the eldest uncle was Jia Dongxu's master, he didn't take special care of him.
But why did he ask me to help get a bicycle for Jia Dongxu today, and said it was a decent thing to go back to the countryside to visit relatives?
When did the relationship between their two families become so close? "

Hearing He Yuzhu ask this, Xu Damao temporarily put aside the bicycle issue and said with a wretched look on his face,

"When? Of course, after Jia Dongxu gets married.

You probably don't know yet.

In 52, when Jia Dongxu was 20 years old, his relationship was similar to the previous two years, and it was not smooth at all.

As for who was behind this, they didn't find out who it was at the beginning.
Aunt Zhang was so angry that she cursed in the streets every day.

In the end, it was the uncle who introduced Jia Dongxu to his current wife, Mrs. Qin, and the marriage was finally settled.

However, even with an old man as the matchmaker, this marriage was not without twists and turns.

Mrs. Qin said that when her family came to Nanluoguxiang to inquire about the Jia family's situation, the neighbors gave Jia Dongxu a lot of eye drops.

Seeing that things were about to fail again, the old man finally made the decision.

In addition to giving the Qin family more dowry and preparing a more upscale banquet, the Jia family also promised to buy a sewing machine and a bicycle for Qin's wife.

This sewing machine is easy to buy. Every department store has it in stock.
But this bicycle was in such short supply, and the connections the old man had made were not at that level, so he couldn't buy it even with his connections, and it has been delayed until now.

Since you have a bicycle, I'm sure they'll ask you for help."

At first, I heard from Xu Damao that Qin Huairu was introduced to Jia Dongxu by Yi Zhonghai, and the Jia and Yi families became so close only after Jia Dongxu got married.

He Yuzhu thought there was something shady going on here.
For example, the one who punctured the tire of the old Jia family was Yi Zhonghai,
But after hearing Qin Huairu say that it was the neighbors in Nanluoguxiang who did it, he stopped thinking about it.

As for the betrothal gifts, wedding banquets, sewing machines and bicycles,

The Jia family certainly couldn't afford it with their limited financial resources. Since Yi Zhonghai, the master, had made the decision, given Jia Zhang's character, Yi Zhonghai would definitely be in trouble.

Then Xu Damao asked,
"Zhu Zi, is there really no way you can get another bicycle?"

Hearing Xu Damao's question, He Yuzhu came back to his senses, looked at him with some doubt and asked,

"Why are you asking this? Don't you have a bicycle at home? Do you want to buy one too?"

Then Xu Damao shook his head.
"I don't have such an idea. When I become a formal projectionist in the factory, the higher-ups will definitely give me a bicycle.

I am asking on behalf of Sister Qin!"
