Chapter 457: Sure enough, he came to find a partner
I looked down at my daughter, who was holding my hand and walking forward, while staring at the crowd in the distance.
He Yuzhu also turned his head and looked over.
Then, after a white mist dissipated, a group of children reached into a long pocket and took out some yellow and white popcorn. They couldn't wait to throw it into their mouths and chewed it, and burst into laughter.
At the same time, a strong smell of popcorn came from that direction.
It was Chinese New Year, and the little girls wanted to eat delicious food. Since the family had the conditions, He Yuzhu naturally took the two little girls to the popcorn machine without saying a word.
"Okay, Dad will buy it for you.
But you and Huaihua can’t eat it all, you have to leave some for your two brothers, otherwise they won’t play with you anymore.”
"Uh-huh, Dad.
My sister Huaihua and I only ate a little bit, and left the rest for my eldest and second brothers."
Seeing his daughter making a small gap between her index finger and thumb, He Yuzhu smiled and scratched her little nose, smiling dotingly.
"I'm not asking you to leave it all for your elder and second brothers. Don't eat it all. Just leave a little for them."
"Uh-huh."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although He Yuzhu said so, now that Lou Zhenhua has returned and there are so many neighbors in the courtyard, it is impossible for him to buy only a little for his daughter.
"Uncle Wang, give me two popcorns!"
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Wang Chunfa, who was filling the popcorn machine with corn kernels, subconsciously raised his head.
"Hey, it's Captain He, are you going to entertain guests?
Why do you need so much? "
The fact that Lou Zhenhua had returned could not be concealed, and He Yuzhu had no intention of hiding it.
"My father-in-law has been ordered by the State Council to return to Beijing to report on his work. All the neighbors in the courtyard are at my house, and the children want to eat, so I just buy a little more to avoid having to go out when the time comes."
When Wang Chunfa heard He Yuzhu say that his father-in-law had returned, he did not say anything.
For others, having a rich father-in-law might be a big deal, but for He Yuzhu, it was nothing.
"Okay, I'll give you a couple of shakes, and you can take the kids inside to take a look, and buy something else?"
"That's fine. The kids want to set off some firecrackers. I'll go buy some before I come out."
After buying firecrackers and popcorn, I left the supply and marketing cooperative with my things.
When He Qing saw her father buy two big bags of popcorn at once, her little face was so excited that she almost buried her head in her pockets while reaching out to grab the popcorn.
"Dad, you are so nice. You bought so much popcorn. My brothers won't be able to finish it. Then it will all be mine."
Seeing his daughter handing popcorn to Huaihua while talking, He Yuzhu smiled and urged,
"Okay, okay, we should go back. We still have to set off some firecrackers!"
"Yeah, okay, let's set off the firecrackers."
The two little girls stuffed popcorn into their mouths while pulling He Yuzhu's clothes and walked towards the courtyard. As soon as they entered the front yard, they saw the two sisters Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru standing there talking.
Seeing them coming back, Qin Huairu waved to Xiao Huaihua who was following He Yuzhu.
"Huaihua, come quickly and wish your aunt a happy new year. Your aunt has also brought you a lot of your favorite sweet potatoes and potatoes." Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but complain. God, he likes sweet potatoes and potatoes the most.
No one in this era likes to eat this stuff.
It’s just that due to the current environment, only sweet potatoes and potatoes have the largest yields, so they have become the most popular foods eaten by ordinary people on a daily basis.
When Xiao Huaihua heard her mother's words, she ran over obediently and called Qin Jingru "Auntie" in a crisp voice.
At this time, He Yuzhu said to Qin Huairu with a hint of curiosity,
"Sister-in-law Dongxu, this female comrade is really your sister.
I ran into her when I was taking He Qing and Huaihua out just now, but Huaihua said she didn't know her, so we ignored her.
You said you really are,
Your sister doesn't come to the courtyard often, so no one knows her and it almost caused a misunderstanding.
By the way, sister-in-law, besides coming to wish you a happy new year, I guess your sister has something else to do."
Qin Huairu had just learned about what He Yuzhu said from Qin Jingru, but she didn't think her five-year-old daughter had done anything wrong.
But when I heard He Yuzhu complain that Qin Jingru didn't often go to the courtyard,
Qin Huairu couldn't help but complain in her heart that He Yuzhu knew the relationship between her and her mother's family and just kept talking nonsense.
But thinking of the purpose of Qin Jingru's coming to the courtyard today, Qin Huairu's eyes moved slightly.
"Hey, my sister is 18 years old this year. She doesn't want to live in the countryside and suffer all her life, so she wants me to help her find a partner in the city.
But you also know the current situation.
A young man from a city with a slightly better family background would never marry a girl from the countryside. But my sister is so pretty, and it would be a disgrace to her to let her marry a widower in his thirties or forties."
I heard Qin Huairu say that her sister really came to the city to find a partner.
He Yuzhu was not surprised.
After all, being able to eat commercial grain these days is something to be proud of, otherwise why would labor be expensive?
But what he didn't expect was that Qin Huairu didn't go to the countryside to find Qin Jingru, but Qin Jingru took the initiative to run to the city and even brought gifts.
But what did Qin Huairu mean by what she just said: marrying a widower in his thirties or forties is a waste of money?
So if it's good for you, it's for your own good, but if it's not good for you, it becomes a waste of people. Qin Huairu, you are really hypocritical.
But then, He Yuzhu thought of the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu from the Liu family in the backyard.
So he smiled and suggested to Qin Huairu,
"Sister-in-law, what's there to worry about? We have the right person in our courtyard.
Look at Liu Guangtian from Uncle Liu's family in the backyard. He is 23 years old this year and still single. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are very worried.
Of course, if you think he is too old, Liu Guangfu will be 20 next year.
This is quite appropriate, isn't it?
Although Uncle Liu had a bad temper, three of his family members were factory workers, and such family conditions were hard to find in the whole of Beijing.
It means that we are all from the same courtyard, so the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Otherwise, a girl like you wouldn’t even have the slightest chance.”
Hearing He Yuzhu's suggestion, Qin Huairu couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Yes, she admitted that the Liu family, with three workers, was much better off than a family with two working people.
But what kind of family atmosphere is this in the Liu family? Liu Haizhong doesn't even consider his two little sons as human beings. He either beats or scolds them.
In addition, he was determined to get close to the rich and powerful.
For a decent family like them, it is not a good family at all.
Although Qin Huairu had a clear mind, Qin Jingru, who was determined to marry into the city, had her own ideas.
