Chapter 157 Liu Guangtian Gets Married
Liu Haizhong found matchmaker Wang and told her about Qin Jingru's situation in detail, and specifically asked her to speed up the process.
He stuffed two dollars into Wang the matchmaker's pocket and asked her to go and propose marriage the next day. He also gave a detailed introduction to Qin Jingru's family situation.
After the requirements were decided, the marriage procedures were started immediately. Things could not be delayed and Qin Huairu was not wanted to be involved.
Matchmaker Wang took the matchmaking money given by Liu Haizhong and readily agreed that it would be fine if the woman's conditions were good.
Qin Jingru was aware of her situation. As a matchmaker who traveled all over the country, how could she expand her business if she didn't have information about women of marriageable age?
In particular, he knew the situation of the Qin family very well. It was not that no one wanted to be a matchmaker for Qin Jingru, but they were all rejected.
The girl was determined to marry into the city, which made her parents angry. However, Qin Huairu was an example to her parents. As Qin Huairu's second uncle and Qin Jingru's father, he did not think that his daughter was inferior to Qin Huairu.
Since the girl is determined,
Liu Haizhong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang the matchmaker agreed. It was all the fault of the bad boy at home.
There was no preparation at all beforehand. Although it is a good thing for my son to get married, the surprise cannot be too big!!!
If the matchmaker is not sure, she generally won't agree and will say she will go and ask the other party's opinion.
Since you have agreed to it, it means you are confident.
Matchmakers also share information with each other. The reason why the matchmaker knew about the Qin family's situation was because Wu, who was also a matchmaker, told her.
When a few people were chatting and talked about Qin Huairu's experience, Matchmaker Wu felt ashamed to go to Qinjia Village. The person she introduced to her turned out to be a widow, and she was embarrassed to go there.
Matchmaker Wang agreed so readily because in that era, the success rate of rural girls marrying into the city was very high.
Besides, Liu Haizhong's family is very well off, and the girl would be so happy about it, so how could she refuse?
It's a bad fate for Qin Huairu to be a widow, but it's impossible that all the girls in your Qin family will be widows, right?
There is no problem with the girl's side. All she has to do is convince the girl's parents, which means giving her money.
She couldn't find any reason to refuse such a good thing.
In fact, for the matchmaker, if the man is from the city and the woman is from the countryside, the success rate can be guaranteed.
If the matchmaking is successful, there will be a thank-you gift, so why not?
The next day, Matchmaker Wang set out for Qinjia Village. Liu Haizhong promised that if the matchmaking was successful, she would get three yuan as a thank-you fee, which immediately aroused her enthusiasm.
My own market price is known to everyone around me, and I will not bargain for the price.
Although the two were already dating, things seemed almost certain.
But the market is like this. If you want to make easy money, you must be careful.
But just because you have the girl, you won't break the rules. You should still get what you deserve.
At this time, matchmakers are also a group of people who cannot be offended. If you offend a matchmaker, I'm sorry, unless you don't need a matchmaker, don't even think about getting married. Matchmakers also have their own circles.
Word spreads in the circle that you've withheld the matchmaker's pay, and no matchmaker in the capital will be willing to match you up.
To put it bluntly, your credibility has been ruined. It's already a good thing that others don't try to sabotage you, and you still want to be the matchmaker?
People of this era are still very reserved about relationships, and it is quite difficult for them to find a partner on their own.
Most families are formed through introductions by matchmakers, and the two people get married once they get to know each other. This is the routine.
Free love has been talked about for a long time, but very few people actually get married because of free love.
Of course, this excludes educated people. This group of people has a high rate of free love and marriage. But given the reality that the majority of people are illiterate, how many educated people are there?
Arriving at Qinjia Village, Matchmaker Wang introduced the situation and asked Uncle Qin for his opinion.
Of course, my second uncle would not object. Being a seventh-level forger in the steel rolling mill and being the captain of the training camp added a lot of points.
Although I don’t know what position the training captain holds, he is still an official, right?
Just look at the production team leader in the village and you will know that he has considerable power and no one dares to offend him because he has the right to record work points.
On the other hand, Uncle Qin is most satisfied that his daughter can marry into the city and not have to suffer.
Ever since the daughter of the eldest family married into the city, the eldest sister-in-law has been very boastful. Every day she complains about what the eldest girl does. Although Qin Jingru's father doesn't say anything, he is still unhappy in his heart.
Although she became a widow later, she was able to eat commercial grain, work in a factory, and become a glorious worker.
No matter what, getting a salary is much better than working in the fields.
The eldest girl was almost there a few years ago, but in the past two years, every time she comes to her parents' home, she brings a lot of things, big and small bags, and her status in the village has improved a lot.
Uncle Qin was very envious. Now his daughter could marry into the city and her husband's family was quite well off, so there was no reason for him to refuse.
We have to get things done well and not let our future in-laws look down on us, including our daughter.
There were no other excessive requests, just asking the girl to come back and settle the matter in person.
Matchmaker Wang went home satisfied and passed the news about the Qin family to Liu Haizhong. She asked for a betrothal gift of ten yuan and to buy a sewing machine, but had no other requirements.
As for wanting a sewing machine, it was because everyone was going to marry into the city, and my daughter couldn’t be worse off than others.
In particular, she cannot be worse than Qin Huairu. They both married into the city. Not to mention surpassing Qin Huairu, she cannot be worse. Otherwise, with the character of the eldest sister-in-law, she will definitely ridicule her own family.
When Liu Haizhong heard the conditions relayed by Wang the matchmaker, he was very satisfied that the request was not too high.
As for the request for a sewing machine, it is understandable. Two girls married into the same compound in the city, so they had to compare them, especially the one who came in later, of course, couldn't be worse.
Besides, for my achievements in the past few years, the factory also rewarded me with a ticket, which happened to be a sewing ticket, which was not difficult to buy. It was equivalent to buying a big item for my home.
If my family doesn't even have a sewing machine, wouldn't it be worse than the Jia family? This is definitely not allowed.
Besides, the sewing machine was not taken away and was still kept at home, so there was no loss.
When Liu Guangtian knew that the matter was settled, he immediately passed the news to Qin Jingru, asking her to find an excuse to go home, settle the matter, and get the marriage certificate.
Qin Jingru didn't expect things to go so smoothly. The Liu family also agreed to her father's request, the sewing machine.
Of course Qin Jingru knew her father's request. Liu Guangtian had told her a long time ago. She was worried at first, after all, the sewing machine was not only expensive, but also required a ticket.
I didn’t expect it to be so smooth that I can now own my own sewing machine.
Qin Huairu treasures that sewing machine very much and does not allow Qin Jingru to touch it. Now Qin Jingru will soon have her own sewing machine. How can she not be happy?
Qin Huairu rested on the weekend, and on Saturday Qin Jingru said she wanted to go home. Qin Huairu generously gave Qin Jingru two cents for the bus fare.
It was all the money for babysitting. Qin Jingru once again realized how stingy Qin Huairu was. She let you babysit for such a long time, but you only gave her two cents, which was enough for the round-trip fare.
Should I bring something back home for my parents? But Qin Huairu looked indifferent, and Qin Jingru did not say anything.
She made up her mind that she would not give Qin Huairu any help even after marrying into the Liu family.
You do the first grade of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth grade.
There was no need to find an excuse at that time. Qin Huairu didn't know that her selfishness today made her cousin feel resentful. After marrying into the compound, she really couldn't borrow anything. This is a story for later.
Who can tell the cause and effect clearly?
After Qin Jingru went out, she saw Liu Guangtian waiting for her and became happy.
I picked up the custom-made clothes and went home with Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangtian.
Liu Haizhong doesn't want to wait, it's better to do it today than to wait for another day, the sooner it is settled, the sooner he can feel at ease.
Through the old woman's observation, although she was a country girl, she was good at doing housework, and the old woman had noticed it a long time ago.
Thinking of this, any prejudice I had against Qin Jingru disappeared. As long as she lived a down-to-earth life, that was enough.
That point of view is that doing things before marriage gives people a frivolous feeling.
In fact, it’s not Qin Jingru’s fault. Strictly speaking, it’s her son’s fault. I won’t go into details.
Liu Haizhong is going to settle things today, get the certificate on Monday, and have the wedding next weekend. Everything will be safe, and this speed is not slow.
Qin Huairu was unaware of all Qin Jingru's affairs. It could be said that Qin Huairu was deliberately hiding it from her to prevent any changes. Liu Haizhong was very clear about Qin Huairu's methods.
If I knew, this matter might not be so smooth, and I would have to pay a higher price.
Qin Huairu lived a very comfortable life during this period. Without her mother-in-law watching over her, she got all the money for the family's expenses from people like Yi Zhonghai and Guo Dapiezi, and she also saved her own salary.
Sometimes I even hope that Jia Zhang will never come back.
No one was guarding against him like a thief, and no one disliked the unclean things he brought back. It was great that he could get daily necessities and relieve his loneliness at the same time.
Banggeng has been having a very bad time recently. His classmates don't want to play with him and say he is a thief.
I even had a fight with my classmates over this, and of course I suffered the loss in the end. I didn't dare tell anyone when I got home for fear of being punished again.
He didn't want to go to school anymore, but he didn't dare tell his mother because he knew she would definitely object.
Grandma went to the countryside and there was no one to take care of her.
The most important thing was that I was scared. My grandmother usually said to take it, but I didn't expect that I took a chicken from Xu Damao and was almost sent to a juvenile detention center. It was too much.
Xu Damao, I will remember you. Sooner or later, I will let you know how powerful I am.
Unfortunately, no one cared about his thoughts. When Qin Huairu returned home and saw the children finish their meal, she would force them to do their homework. They were not allowed to play or sleep until they finished their homework.
The reason why Qin Huairu pushed her children so hard was that she saw the He family’s children doing their homework every day.
I was holding my breath in my heart, I couldn't let my child lose to the He family's children. Jia Dongxu lost to the He brothers, Banggeng couldn't lose to the He family's children.
How could Banggeng, such a smart kid, not be able to compare with others?
She didn't even think about the fact that Banggeng's grades were at the bottom, Xiaodang's grades were not good either, and Huaihua was not yet of age.
Is it just hard work? It has something to do with the atmosphere and teaching by example.
Time cannot make up for these. If the child figures it out and studies hard on his own, he will learn well without your supervision.
If the child doesn't want to learn, it's useless even if you accompany him/her every day.
The situation in the Jia family is like this: the children going to school are scratching their heads, looking around while doing their homework, and Huaihua is playing alone on the kang.
Now all of Qin Huairu's hopes are placed on Banggeng. Whether she can live a life of luxury depends on Banggeng.
As long as you get into a technical secondary school or university, your family will be completely successful.
This is the truth that the female workers in the workshop figured out when they were chatting.
On the other hand, after Liu Haizhong and his party arrived at the Qin family, they were warmly received.
The talks went very smoothly. The betrothal gift was given on the spot and the wedding date was set. After calculation, it turned out that next Sunday would be a suitable date and it was also the nearest auspicious day.
Liu Haizhong was still quite wary of it. Although he did not support it, he did not oppose it either.
After settling down and having dinner, we returned to the city.
Qin Jingru also came back with the letter of introduction from the production team. She has to go to get the certificate tomorrow.
Only at this point did Liu Haizhong feel relieved.
If I hadn't reacted quickly, my career would have been ruined by that brat Guangtian.
He made up his mind to get the job done next week. Since an apprentice is not a formal employee and he is qualified to take an apprentice, this is not a problem for Liu Haizhong.
If I don't let Guangtian go to work quickly, there are so many idle people at home, I can't support it all by myself, right?
Then there are the young guys who do nothing every day and have a bad reputation as street troubles.
Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru in a daze. Something didn’t seem right. How come they got the marriage certificate?
Shouldn't I tell myself that I should just earn some money by being a matchmaker?
As for who Qin Jingru would marry, that was not something Qin Huairu considered. She thought that her cousin was really ungrateful. Without her, could she marry into the city?
It's really outrageous to keep such a big thing hidden from yourself.
"Jingru, how could you not tell me about such a big thing? Do you still take me, your sister, seriously? At least I can give you some advice."
The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became, and he blurted out a questioning tone.
"Sister, I only found out after I returned home that the matchmaker had already been to my house and my father agreed."
Qin Jingru perfunctorily told Qin Huairu, "Tell you? Do you want me to make money from my family?"
Wouldn't it be nice to use that little money to buy your own meat? Look how good you eat, why do you still need to calculate in broad daylight?
I have to say, this is what’s great about girls in this era. Even when they get married, they are already considering their husband’s family.
In the TV series, Qin Jingru suffered domestic violence and grievances from Xu Damao, but she still worked hard and was not complaining.
Although it has something to do with Xu Damao's conditions, it still has a lot to do with the idea of being faithful to one person.
Otherwise, Qin Jingru at that time was no longer the innocent girl deceived by Xu Damao.
In the end, the two divorced because of their child, and they seemed to have forgiven each other at the end of the story.
How could this happen now? Don't even think about it.
After knowing this, He Yukai sighed that Liu Guangtian was so lucky, but he still needed Liu Guangtian's training.
Although Qin Jingru is vain, she can cover everything up by being obedient.
Besides, what girl doesn't love vanity? She would rather laugh on a bicycle than cry in a BMW. Such girls only exist in fairy tales.
Even if there are people laughing on the bicycles, it won’t last long. We must see hope when sharing joys and sorrows. If there is no hope, all the words “for love” are nonsense.
Economic foundation is the only criterion for the Hengliang family happiness index.
Only those with a strong economic foundation are qualified to talk about love. This was the naked reality of He Yukai’s previous life.
We have strayed off topic. Let's get back to the point. The wedding was originally planned to be held on the weekend, but it didn't go ahead in the end. We simply treated everyone in the compound to a big pot of food and that was it.
He is not stingy and has always advocated thrift. Liu Haizhong is now a cadre in the factory and cannot show off.
Of course, this is Liu Haizhong’s own understanding. He always holds himself and his family to the standards of good cadres.
As for what it’s like behind closed doors, I don’t know. But according to gossip, a lot of oil is used in cooking.
Of course, the sewing machine was bought back and the Qin family's face was saved.
However, although it is a big pot dish, the advantage is that there is more meat, and He Yuzhu, the chef, makes up for it a lot. Although it is a bit monotonous, it is affordable.
We are all ordinary people, there is no need to be so particular, and all parties are very satisfied.
Liu Haizhong had originally thought about holding a grand ceremony and asking the factory leaders to give him face, but Director Yang stopped him. He believed that keeping a low profile was the right approach.
Qin Jingru married Liu Guangtian on her wedding night, and the three children of the Jia family were left unattended again.
In the end, it was Yi Zhonghai who stepped forward and asked Yi Li to help keep an eye on things, which put a lot of pressure on Yi Li.
She has to take care of the deaf old lady and look after the Jia family's children, and she is very busy.
The deaf old lady was only nice to Xiao Huaihua, but she didn't like the other two children and couldn't bring them to the old lady.
It's easy to describe Li's situation: busy. busy. busy.
Leaving aside the sweetness of Liu Guangtian and Qin Jingru, after the initial passion in the life of a couple, what's left are only the daily necessities of life, and this is an unchanging truth.
He Yukai has been very busy recently. In order to verify Grandpa Guan's notes, he often goes to commissioned stores and scrap collection stations, spending a lot of money.
Cai Wenqing gave great support to He Yukai's hobby.
Although Cai Wenqing doesn't like collecting very much, he also knows the significance of collecting.
The reason for the previous restrictions is that He Yukai does not understand antiques and buys them blindly, wasting money.
Now Cai Wenqing has also learned a lot, and He Yukai's ability to appraise treasures has been initially recognized by Mr. Guan.
Cai Wenqing relaxed the restrictions and started to support it.
Cai Wenqing has absolute trust in He Yukai and does not have any doubts at all.
This is the deep affection between the two formed on the battlefield, which will not be changed by some objective factors.
The two of them respect each other and support each other. Now there is no more romance as before, only the trivialities of life.
Cai Wenqing was very low-key during this period, but he was very domineering when it came to Jia Zhang's affairs.
My low profile now sends a signal that as long as you don't mess with our family, you can do whatever you want and just ignore me and pretend I don't exist.
At this time, our comrade Cai Wenqing was reading a book while supervising his daughter as she was doing horse stance.
It's so outrageous. She actually calls herself the big sister in school and leads a group of people around with such a domineering attitude. How can she be like a girl?
Although he has always been at the top of his class, he has not fallen behind in being naughty.
"Tell me, do you know you are wrong?"
"Mom, I did nothing wrong. I led my classmates to fight because they bullied my classmates. I am the class monitor. If I don't seek justice for them, then am I still a qualified class monitor?"
"Shut up and move on. When you realize your mistake, get up."
He Qian was about to cry. It was all Teacher Ran’s fault. Why did you tell my mom when your most valued student made a mistake?
And when did my mom, aunt, and Teacher Ran become besties? That's too bad.
You guys are all bad people. Why hasn’t dad come back yet? Your lovely daughter can’t bear it anymore!
And you two traitors, He Bing and He Xiao, just wait for the protection of the eldest sister!
As for Lou Xiao'e, she had already carried He Yu back to her room.
If I try to persuade her as a joke, it won’t work. I feel a little scared when my sister-in-law takes it seriously.
If I don't try to persuade them, Zhuzi will definitely say that both of them are not human if he sees it.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the two brothers in the He family. They both dote on two girls, which is very different from other families.
He Yukai still doesn't know where his baby daughter is, and is staggering towards home.
He Qian looked at the door of her house from time to time. Dad, your most lovely woman is being punished, why don’t you show up?
I'm waiting for you to come and save me on the colorful clouds, come back soon!!!
Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a monthly ticket!!!
Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a monthly ticket!!!
