Seeing Qin Huai coming back, Old Man Qin said with great joy, "Qin Huai, look at this, isn't it fate? Miss Hongmei couldn't find her home and happened to come to our door. I just gave her a steamed bun, but she didn't want to leave. She said she wanted to stay and work and eat at our house."
The meaning of his words is self-evident. Old Man Qin has always been keen on finding a wife for Qin Huai, and his requirements are not high.
Qin Xiaoyun chimed in, "Brother, Sister Hongmei isn't stupid. Grandpa said she was just confused because of hunger. She'll be fine after a few days of eating. She knew to run home even when it rained. It just so happens that her family can't find her, so we don't have to spend a penny..."
She stopped here because she knew that some thoughts could not be expressed.
This girl is used to being frugal. She is full of calculations at such a young age. She only thinks about finding a wife for her brother without spending any money and doesn't care about anything else.
Qin Xiaomi said, "Brother, don't listen to them. This woman is stupid and I don't like her. Let her go."
Qin Xiaoyun said, "Qin Xiaomi, don't talk. I'm not marrying you."
Qin Huai touched Qin Xiaomi's hair and said, "My marriage is a big deal. Not only Xiaomi can have opinions, but the whole family can."
Qin Xiaomi looked at her sister proudly, and then pulled Qin Huai to ask him not to agree.
The old man introduced Hongmei, "Hongmei, this is Qin Huai. Look how energetic he is."
Qin Huai had just recently been discussing foreign films with Peking University student Zhang Keyi, drinking coffee, and was in high spirits;
Going home is the scene before his eyes. This sense of conflict between time and space made him speechless for a moment. His current life is at least forty years different from Maggie Cheung's.
I just feel that there is still a long way to go to achieve my goal.
However, Hongmei had no interest in her future husband Qinhuai. When she saw the old man lift the lid of the pot and prepare to take the steamed bread out of the pot, she immediately grabbed it into the pot regardless of the scalding heat.
Normally the old man would not be willing to do so, but today, in order to keep the girl, he spent a lot of money and steamed three pounds of corn flour steamed bread, wanting to show off his strength. However, it seems that his efforts were in vain, as the girl seemed to be more interested in the steamed bread than Qinhuai.
Qin Xiaoyun said awkwardly, "Brother, she's not stupid, really. She was chatting with me quite logically just now."
Qin Huai thought: "Don't explain. The more you explain, the more problems there are."
Hongmei might have been scalded and started crying loudly, but she was reluctant to throw away the steamed bread in her hand.
The old man yelled angrily, "You silly girl, your mouth is burnt and blistered."
Qin Huai laughed and said, "Grandpa, you've taken a lot of trouble for me."
The old man said in surprise: "You don't mind? I think the girl is pretty, so what if she's a little silly? Stupid people have their own luck. There's also an old saying that a good man doesn't have a good wife. If you want to live a good life, you need an ugly wife, thin land, and a tattered cotton-padded jacket."
Sister Hong came over and overheard this, and immediately criticized the old man, saying, "You old fool, you wouldn't treat Qin Huai like this. Qin Huai has good arms and legs, and you found a psychopath for him. Are you doing this for his own good? I think you just want to harm him."
The villagers who were watching the fun also criticized the old man. Qin Huai's legs are no longer lame. He is a young man of seventeen or eighteen, with a clean complexion. He can exchange thirty yuan for writing a few pieces of paper. Is it difficult for him to find a good wife?
Besides, can getting married be a money-saving thing?
The old man and Qin Xiaoyun were criticized by everyone and said angrily, "Okay, okay, I won't force you. Qin Huai can agree if he wants to, and he can agree if he doesn't want to."
The old lady Chunsheng's mother at the east end of the village said, "You don't want her? I think this girl is good. My Chunsheng doesn't have a wife yet. Do you really not want her? If you don't want her, I'll take her home."
Chunsheng is already in his thirties and his mind is not very sharp. The old lady is worried about her son's marriage.
Although this girl, Hongmei, looked a little mentally challenged, she was still a young woman. Sister Hong said, "Selling people isn't popular these days. Ask this girl. If she's willing, you can take her home. If she's not, no one can force her."
Old Man Qin probably hadn't given up yet, and whispered in Qin Huai's ear: "I think this girl is good, what else do you want?"
Qin Huai said in style: "I'm still young, so I'll focus on the older bachelors in the village first."
Qin Xiaoyun complained unhappily, "Brother..."
The old lady came up to Hongmei and said, "Girl, my family is better off than theirs. We have all the white flour buns we want. Even though there are so many people in the family, you don't have to work in the fields. You can just stay home and do the housework. Will you come with me?"
The girl might have been stimulated by the white flour buns. She put down the steamed buns and immediately took the old lady's hand and wanted to leave.
Old man Qin spent money to steam a pot of steamed buns for his grandson's marriage, but it was snatched away by someone else. He was a little unhappy and walked out of the straw hut to smoke.
Qin Huai laughed loudly, and Qin Xiaomi said, "Brother, let's go to Chunsheng's house to see what's going on."
"You don't care about your own business at all." The old man complained.
The two of them walked to Chunsheng's house. There were quite a few people gathered at the door. Hongmei and Chunsheng were like boxers, sizing each other up and down. Chunsheng's mother came out with a bowl of peanuts and two eggs and said, "Miss Hongmei, come and have some delicious food."
Hongmei immediately left Chunsheng behind to grab the bowl. Chunsheng slapped her on the back. Hongmei turned around like a little tiger, grabbed Chunsheng, and beat and bit him.
Chunsheng's mother yelled from behind, "Stop hitting me, my living ancestor."
The villagers who were watching the fun burst into laughter.
Chunsheng's mother scolded, "Look at your mother's excitement, come and help me pull them apart."
Then a few men and women came over and coaxed and pulled the two apart. Hongmei was still angry at first, but after taking the peanuts, she ignored it and sat down on the ground to peel and eat them.
Someone teased Qin Huai, saying, "Your wife has come to Chunsheng's house. Do you regret it?"
Qin Xiaomi said angrily, "If you like, go to your home."
It turns out that Hongmei does have a problem with her brain.
But some of the elders still said, "Mother Chunsheng, if you don't want it, give it to me. My family won't mind."
Chunsheng's mother immediately jumped up and said, "Who dislikes her? I don't dislike her either. This girl doesn't look stupid."
No one is stupid. It costs at least more than 100 yuan to marry a wife in the countryside. I don’t know how long the famine will take to pay off the debt.
Hongmei was wandering alone, and it wouldn't cost much to bring her home. All the old people in Qinjiazhuang were considering this deal.
Sure enough, that night, Chunsheng's mother decorated a new house for Chunsheng, rolled two bowls of egg noodles for the two children, and let them live in the same room.
It is said that both of them still remembered the grudge that night and fought so hard that the bed was overturned.
Hongmei became the daughter-in-law of Qinjiazhuang from then on.
She was very strong, and Chunsheng's mother treated her like a donkey, beating her if she was not happy with her while pushing the millstone.
After being a daughter-in-law for many years, she finally became a mother-in-law. In this era, there is no daughter-in-law who does not get bullied after getting married. Although Hongmei's crying and fighting were heard in Chunsheng's house all day long, she never cared.
I'm stuck today, so the second chapter will be a little late. Sorry.
