Xu Yumei didn't stay in the grocery store for long. When she went back, Chen Rou put some cabbage and leeks in her basket and asked her to take it home and eat.
As for the rest, Chen Rou couldn't help her.
Some things can only be discovered by yourself. If others expose them, the consequences can be imagined.
Han Guobin is not at home, so the children come back early from school and don’t play basketball.
The eldest child had to go back to school later, but the second child, Han Zhou, came over to help her after school. However, it was not so busy here for the time being, so the second child went home to cook and went home when the shop closed at 6:30.
Han Cheng and Xiao Lao Si also came back soon, the siblings came back together.
"Mom, I saw an uncle waiting for the fourth child at the door today." Han Cheng whispered to her mother.
Chen Rou asked, "What uncle?"
"I heard the fourth brother call him Fourth Master." Han Cheng said.
Chen Rou immediately knew who it was and called over the little one who was taking out his homework to do it.
"What are you doing?" asked the fourth child.
"Did you meet the owner of the mahjong parlor?" Chen Rou asked.
"If he didn't meet me, he would be waiting for me." said the fourth child.
Chen Rou looked at him: "Why is he waiting for you?"
"He didn't do anything. He just asked me if there was anything I wanted and he went to get it for me." said the fourth brother.
"So what do you say?" Chen Rou asked.
"I just said I wanted a little donkey, and he said it was no problem, and told me to study hard, and that was all he said," said the fourth little one.
Chen Rou let him continue with his homework.
The fourth child grinned and said, "Mom, does he really want to adopt me as his godson?"
Chen Rou winked at him, and the fourth child immediately said, "I'll do my homework."
Han Cheng whispered, "Mom, what's going on? That uncle wants to adopt the fourth child as his godson?"
"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.
"Doesn't he have a son himself? Why is he so eager to recognize a son as his godchild? Instead of looking for you and dad, he went to find the fourth son?" Han Cheng asked in confusion.
"He has no son, and I heard from your father that he has never been married. He was a playboy when he was young." Chen Rou said. Of course, things are not much better now.
Han Cheng suddenly realized: "I was thinking, you want to raise a godson to take care of him in his old age?"
Chen Rou said: "It's okay if it's like this, but I'm worried that the fourth child will learn bad things from him."
There's nothing wrong with having a godparent, but the fourth child has been a smart boy since he was young. It's good that he has her to control him now. If he had such a godparent, he would learn bad things in a matter of minutes.
But when she came home from school the next day, Chen Rou had a blank expression on her face.
Because little Lao Si came back leading a little donkey, jumping and skipping, he was so happy that he almost flew.
Han Cheng came over to tell tales, but Chen Rou knew everything without her telling tales.
The fourth child brought the little donkey back and happily introduced it to his mother: "Mom, look, I have a little donkey!"
Chen Rou asked, "If he gives it to you, will you accept it from him?"
"Why not accept it? I didn't ask him for it. He gave it to me." said the fourth brother.
"Don't you know that if you accept something from someone, you have to accept their favor?" Chen Rou looked at him.
"I'm not going to accept the favor. If you want me to accept the favor, I'll have to return the donkey. But I've asked him, and he said he would give it to me, so it's not worth much." Little Fourth said happily.
This guy really has the potential to be a scumbag.
Chen Rou glanced at the boy, and he happily went to feed the donkey with the cabbage.
Chen Rou said coldly: "Count the money."
The little old man was stunned for a moment: "Mom, you are my real mother?"
"So what if she's your mother? Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I have to pay for all these goods. It's fine if I support you, but why should I also support your little donkey?" Chen Rou said.
"Xiao Hui is mine, I am yours, and isn't Xiao Hui also yours, mother?" Little Four couldn't help but say.
"Give it up, now. If you say so, when you get married and have children, I will have to support them for you," Chen Rou said mercilessly.
The fourth child choked and said, "You don't even give me the cabbage, you're going to make me lose face!"
"Don't take my things without paying. It's hard enough to feed you, and I also have to feed your donkey. Do you know how much he eats every day?" Chen Rou said lightly.
Little Lao Si took money out of his schoolbag. Luckily he had been frugal this year and still had a few dollars left in pocket money!
Chen Rou ignored him and took the money directly.
In this way, in addition to three dogs, there are several cats in the house. There were originally two cats, and later there were more, and now there is a little donkey.
Whenever Chen Rou needed to feed the little donkey, she would ask Xiao Laosi for the money.
The fourth child was reluctant to spend his pocket money, as he only had these few dollars left. Their pocket money would not be distributed until the second half of the year, so they had to rely on the New Year's money to survive in the first half of the year.
So he came to the mahjong parlor on Sunday. The fourth brother was playing mahjong there. When he saw him, he smiled and asked, "How is the little donkey?"
"It's good, but it's too expensive to keep it." Little Fourth sighed.
In just a few days, his pocket money was greatly reduced.
"It doesn't cost much to raise a donkey. Just let it eat hay," said the fourth brother.
"I don't have any hay." Little Fourth looked at him with bright eyes.
"Then let someone send some to you. Do you need anything else?" The fourth brother said, playing his cards.
"No, just hay." Little Four shook his head and said, "I haven't done my homework yet. I'm going back to do it."
"Go ahead, but don't let your mother see it." The fourth brother took out a ten-dollar bill from the mahjong table cabinet and stuffed it into his hand.
Little Lao Si laughed and ran away with the money.
"Fourth Master, is this your son? Why does he look so similar to you?" asked a poker friend.
The fourth brother raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Are they similar?"
"They don't look alike, but that energy and appearance are there." Another poker player nodded.
The fourth brother smiled and continued playing his mahjong.
Late in the evening, a young man brought a bundle of hay to the house, which was what the donkey loved to eat. Little Lao Si was very happy and moved the hay directly over.
"Lao Si, who is that man? Why is he sending you hay?" Zhang Yaoyao, who happened to be at home, asked.
"Why are you asking so many questions? You refused to lend me two dollars." said Xiao Lao Si.
"Your little donkey is a bottomless pit. What will you do after I lend it to you?" Zhang Yaoyao said.
"You never lend it to me." said the fourth child, feeding the little donkey with hay and brushing its hair with a brush.
It’s true, the little donkey likes its little master very much and enjoys himself very much.
Zhang Yaoyao ignored him and whispered to Chengzi whether Xiao Laosi was associating with someone. The young man who brought the hay had a tattoo on his arm and didn't look like a good person.
Chengzi must have told her mother that the two sisters left the little one at home and came to the grocery store.
After talking about sending hay, Chen Rou said, "Don't worry about it. Wait until your father comes back."
Based on her understanding of her youngest son, he must have taken in more than just the donkey, the fourth son, and other things as well, but he just kept it from her.
But we have to wait until Han Guobin comes back, now let Xiao Lao Si go.
Han Guobin was away for more than half a month this time.
I went there in early April and drove back in late April. By that time, the furniture factory had already put the finished furniture on display in the mall.
This furniture stall has another name, Qifan Furniture City.
That’s right, it’s the name of her youngest son, Han Qifan.
It's the sign that Lao Si made and it's hanging above. There's another sign next to it that accepts deposit orders and also provides delivery.
Currently, the fourth brother is running the business there.
When Han Guobin's goods arrived, it caused a sensation in this small county.
This is a brand new truck that Han Guobin bought privately. It is not a company property and the car is his own.
But let’s not talk about that for now. The main thing is that the goods that were shipped back are all good goods.
A large color TV, a washing machine, and the rest are electric fans and a whole bag of watches.
They set up a glass cabinet for watches, just like the ones in department stores, and put them on sale.
The whole truck is filled with supplies.
In the evening of that day, Han Guobin took the green refrigerator in the car home.
This was the only refrigerator he had, which he bought specifically for his own home use.
Ma Yuling from next door came over and saw it. She was so surprised: "Brother Guobin, you have to bring me something next time. I also need a refrigerator at home. The price will be calculated according to the shipping price at the big shopping mall!"
"It's not easy to buy refrigerators over there. This is the only one left when I went there this time. Otherwise, I would have to buy refrigerators as well this time." Han Guobin said with a smile.
"If you come across it, buy it for me." Ma Yuling said.
"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.
Han Guobin didn't stay at home for long. After eating, he took the account book and drove to find Lao Yang. He took Lao Yang with him to settle the accounts with Lao Si.
Old Sheep couldn't help but say, "You've become very successful now. You now have two big trucks at home!"
"I don't think two are too many. Our furniture mall has been opened. If you didn't go there today, you would have seen that most of the home appliances were sold out as soon as they were put on display," said Han Guobin.
No tickets are required for large color TVs, you can take them away if you have money. If you can’t carry them away and need help, Qifan Furniture City will deliver them to you.
So how can a truck be enough?
"Let me free up my car and use it. I'm planning to buy a tractor, which is also practical." said Lao Yang.
"That's good." Han Guobin said, "You can buy another tractor, and your car can go south with me to bring more back. And if the bacon factory opens in the future, we can go south with this car to sell the bacon."
The old sheep nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Good idea, good idea!"
They came over to the fourth brother, checked the account book and counted the money, and everyone was happy.
Han Guobin looked at Lao Si and said, "Why did the furniture store have such a name?"
"Qifan, what a great name!" The fourth brother said with a smile.
"Besides the little donkey, what else did you give to Little Fourth Brother?" Han Guobin asked. His wife told him everything before he came over.
"Nothing. You don't have to be so vigilant. I won't lead him astray. I just want to take good care of this child." The fourth brother said.
"When you are free, come over to my house for dinner." Han Guobin looked at him and said.
The fourth brother immediately laughed and said, "I don't have anything to do. Any day is fine."
"Then come over for lunch the day after tomorrow. I'll let the fourth child become your godparents. But let me make this clear in advance: if we want to become godparents, then we can be godparents, but you don't have to teach him any nonsense." Han Guobin said.
"How could I? I'm also looking forward to him getting into college and having a bright future." said the fourth brother.
Han Guobin didn't say anything, and said, "Call two more people who can drive, take a few days off, and then go again, driving Lao Yang's truck."
"Okay." The fourth one nodded.
Lao Yang came out with Han Guobin and said with a smile, "How did you figure it out? Are you willing to let Lao Si recognize your little Lao Si?"
"Run to the school gate and give him the donkey." Han Guobin said.
Lao Yang immediately said, "I think he is really jealous of your little fourth child. He didn't want to have one when he was young, but now he is jealous."
The fourth child is actually not that old, just a few years older than Han Guobin, and is 46 years old this year.
In fact, there is no problem in having a child at this age, but the fourth brother himself does not want to get married and does not want to be bound by constraints. In the past two years, he has thought about finding a woman to give birth to a child for him, so that he can have an offspring, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
Finally I saw Xiao Lao Si in the mahjong hall. The boy had a pair of bright eyes and smiled at everyone he met. He looked like a thief and not a honest person.
Sure enough, I saw him buying cigarettes and drinks for others, and he had a good memory. If someone gave him just the right amount of money, he would directly say that he would only help buy it if he was tipped.
The fourth brother asked him to buy it. After buying it several times, he thought it was better and better the more he looked at it.
So I had an idea and wanted to adopt him as my godson.
I originally thought that the boy came from an ordinary family, after all, he wore ordinary clothes and his shoes were dirty, but after asking I found out that he was actually from Han Guobin's family.
He must know Han Guobin. He had given him a TV and plane ticket before. TV and plane tickets were rare items back then. Later, they started a pig-raising business together, and also bought him a watch.
It’s not that I’m short of money, but my youngest son was raised in poverty, so he has to earn his own pocket money.
Later he stopped coming. When the fourth brother found an opportunity, he asked Han Guobin about it and learned that he was beaten after telling his family about it.
The fourth child came on time the day after tomorrow, and brought not only gifts for the little fourth child, including two new sets of clothes and two new pairs of shoes, but also a pen imported from Korean Airlines, a new basketball from Han Zhou, and a teddy bear that was almost half a person's height from Han Cheng.
Came here in a car.
Lao Si didn't have a truck, but he had a car. There were quite a few cars in the county nowadays, but not many, only about a dozen or so. But Lao Si's car was one of them.
Those who can afford to drive a car are not ordinary people.
When the fourth brother came over to have lunch, he changed his tone and called him godfather, which sounded so natural and friendly.
The fourth brother was also happy and drank a lot of wine. When he went back, he asked the driver to drive him.
"It seemed like the person just now was the owner of the mahjong hall?" Ma Yuling came over to Chen Rou's house and asked.
She had met him several times in the mahjong hall. She heard from others that there were several people in the mahjong hall in partnership, and this Fourth Master was one of them.
"Yes." Chen Rou nodded.
"What is he doing here? Does he know him?" Ma Yuling couldn't help but ask.
"He is the godfather of my fourth child." Chen Rou said.
In fact, Chen Rou really had some objections to letting the little fourth child adopt a godparent, but it was obvious that her little fourth child had caught the fourth child's eye.
And the fourth child in her family is a person who never refuses anyone who comes to him. He has been like this since he was young. I don’t know who he looks like.
She and her brother Guobin are really not of this kind. She is a bit like her third brother, but even more cunning than him.
It was only when she held the bamboo stick that she scared the little fourth brother out of the fact that he had accepted money from others several times.
The other person has received benefits and shown his attitude, so just accept this as a godparent and make it public instead of making it like an underground war.
Now that he has been recognized as the godparent, as long as the fourth son does not take her with him to inherit his legacy, everything else will be easy.
Ma Yuling was surprised: "He is the godfather of Little Fourth? Why didn't I hear you say that before?"
"I just recognized him today." Chen Rou said.
"If I had known that you had such a good relationship with him, I should have asked him for help to get back the three hundred yuan I lost," said Ma Yuling.
"At that time, we just opened a pig farm together. We weren't very familiar with each other. It was when the fourth brother went there to play that he was impressed by the appearance of the other brother, and only then did he acknowledge us as a godparent." Chen Rou waved her hand.
"Are you and Guobin unhappy?" Ma Yuling said.
"It's not that he's unwilling. After he becomes a godparent, there will be more people who love him. What's there to be unhappy about? Aren't we afraid that the fourth child will learn bad things? But he still waits for the fourth child at the school gate. It was he who took the donkey at home to send the fourth child away. I had to take a bamboo stick to scare him away. He has also taken money from his godfather several times." Chen Rou said.
"The fourth child in your family is quite timid." Ma Yuling said.
"So I just accepted it. As long as he doesn't involve Little Fourth in doing anything else, everything else will be fine." Chen Rou said.
"Just admit it. You guys are watching over it, so you don't have to worry too much." Ma Yuling nodded.
Chen Rou thinks so too.
Ma Yuling started to open the refrigerator and asked, "Is it working well?"
"It works well." Chen Rou nodded.
Nowadays, the home appliances in my house are almost complete.
We have televisions, washing machines, electric fans, and now refrigerators, so we don’t lack anything else.
Ma Yuling was so envious that she said, "When I go back to Guobin, if there are any new products, please bring me one. My family is in need of a refrigerator."
"He has made a note of it for you and will bring it back to you if he finds it." Chen Rou said with a smile.
But a refrigerator is really not cheap. If you calculate it based on Chen Gongan's salary, it would take him a whole year's salary to buy a refrigerator, and that would require him to not eat or drink.
However, Ma Yuling is good at making money. Starting this year, she replaced her family's black and white TV with a color TV. As for the old one, she gave it directly to her parents.
Her husband's family gave her a hundred yuan a year for living expenses, and she couldn't even get a grain of rice from them.
In March, which was last month, Chen Gongan’s old mother came over.
But since she was not even allowed into the house, Ma Yuling was determined to sever ties with the rest of her husband's family.
Because of this, Ma Yuling suffered from Bosnia and Herzegovina in the surrounding areas.
But Ma Yuling did mention the grudge to Chen Rou. She was beaten by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law even though she was pregnant. It was only because she was lucky that both she and her child were safe.
But this hatred will last a lifetime and can never be reconciled in this lifetime.
The fact that we can give a hundred yuan a year for living expenses is only out of respect for Public Security Chen, otherwise why would you want money?
And her aunt got married, and she married a poor man. She once wanted to come to the house to borrow money, saying that she was pregnant and couldn't even have a bowl of thick porridge. But was there any money? No, Ma Yuling didn't even lend her a penny.
They don't have any contact now, but Ma Yuling doesn't care.
It's just that Chen Gongan is someone's son, so how can he not support his parents? So giving them a hundred yuan every year is considered a lot.
Han Guobin rested at home for a few days, and then drove south again.
Since the truck was empty, Chen Rou felt it was a waste, so she asked Han Guobin to go to the factory to buy a batch of leather shoes, and then have them shipped to the south.
It’s true, the stall is set up like that and the prices are very affordable, so when you go to the south, there are still many people buying them.
After selling the shoes, I used the proceeds directly as capital and then started purchasing more goods.
Han Guobin went there four or five times in a row, and then he stopped going. He simply set up a small fleet.
He followed Lao Yang's example and bought a tractor. From then on, the family used the tractor to transport goods, freeing up their own truck.
Three trucks went south to transport goods back to the county town to sell. They only made one trip per month, but the money earned from these trips was quite generous after being shared equally with Lao Yang and Lao Si.
Han Guobin did not follow them out, and let Ludan follow them.
The salary for long-distance drivers has also been raised to 150 yuan per month.
Nowadays, a monthly salary of 150 yuan is considered a high-end salary even in Beijing.
Donkey's salary doubled, which was higher than Tiedan and his wife's combined salary. This made Han Dasao very happy. On her rare day off, she followed the donkey cart into the city.
There was a lot of rain recently, so she took Baozhu into the mountains and dug a lot of mushrooms.
I brought it in and divided it among Tiedan and the others, and brought in an extra basket for Tiedan's wife.
Even though Han Dasao sometimes likes to gossip, she is a great mother-in-law. She basically sends a basket of eggs to Tiedan and his wife every month.
When Mrs. Han came over, the grocery store was not open yet, so Han Guobin went to the shopping mall.
He now likes to stay over at Qifan Furniture City, even though there are only a few employees there, but he still likes to go there. Chen Rou doesn't care about him and lets him go.
Mrs. Han first carried the eggs and the divided mushrooms to the grain and oil shop. When she came back from the grain and oil shop, Chen Rou came from the steamed bun shop and had already started selling things.
Seeing Sister-in-law Han coming over, Chen Rou smiled and said, "It's almost summer harvest time, how come you still have time to come in, Sister-in-law?"
"Isn't this a donkey egg? Why is the salary so much higher?" Mrs. Han whispered.
"For long-distance bus trips, they all have a set salary level, it's the same, but it's just a bit harder." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"It's not that hard. We only go out on the road once a month and can rest for several days." said Mrs. Han.
There were many people buying food at this time, so Chen Rou didn't talk to Han Dasao for the time being. Han Dasao also helped sell things. When she was almost done, she said, "Second brother's wife, do you have any good partner to introduce to Donkey Dan?"
"Why worry about Donkey Egg's marriage? If you spread the news, many people will come to you to talk about it." Chen Rou smiled and said, "I guess you are the most popular sister-in-law in the village now. Everyone will be confident if they have you as their daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Han smiled very happily and said, "I'm not bragging myself, it's true. If you become my daughter-in-law, as long as you don't act like a demon, I won't care so much. You will have everything you need. If you don't have it, you won't have it. I won't be partial to anyone. It will be absolutely fair!"
Chen Rou said: "Everyone in the village knows about it, and you still come to ask me to introduce Donkey Egg."
"I was thinking that Lu Dan also rents a house in the city, so he might as well find a girl from the city. With his current conditions, he is not unworthy of a city girl." said Mrs. Han.
Chen Rou said, "Girls in the city are very opinionated. When they get married, they want to be the masters of their own household and don't like to give their money to their mother-in-law." After saying this, she looked at Han Dasao and said, "Besides, they don't want to build a house in the village in the future. They would rather buy a house and settle down in the city."
She knew her sister-in-law's plan. She still wanted to build a house for Tiedan and Ludan in the village.
"Is that so?" Mrs. Han was a little disappointed.
"I have a good candidate here. He is an elementary school teacher and is about the same age as Ludan." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Mrs. Han's eyes immediately lit up.
In their eyes, there are several best careers for girls, and being a teacher must be one of them.
"Which family is it? Are you familiar with it?" Mrs. Han asked repeatedly.
"Chengzi is the younger sister of her godmother's family." Chen Rou said.
"Chengzi's godmother? The one who took little Lao Si to the mahjong parlor?" Mrs. Han couldn't help but ask.
Chen Rou explained that it was Xiao Lao Si who lied and it had nothing to do with Ma Yuling.
"The girl's name is Ma Yulan. She teaches Chinese in elementary school. I saw her last time I went to her sister's house. She's pretty and gentle." Chen Rou said.
"Then will she agree to date Ludan? Ludan's grades are not that good." Mrs. Han couldn't help but say.
Neither of her two sons can read.
"Let's not talk about other things for now. If I were to date her, I don't think she would give her salary to you, sister-in-law. And as for Donkey's salary, half of it would be kept as their living expenses in the future, and the rest can be taken home to build a house in the future. Of course, I'm saying this only if it works out. If not, then it won't count. But I have to tell you this in advance, so think about it." Chen Rou said.
"Don't think about it. Go ask, second sister-in-law. If possible, then let Ludan go with her. Isn't free love popular nowadays? Let them go on their own. If they get along well, Ludan can just send half of his salary back to her in the future." said Mrs. Han.
"Okay, I'll talk to Yuling when I get home and give the young people a chance." Chen Rou smiled.
Mrs. Han didn't stay long and went back with the donkey cart. After all, she was quite busy.
Han Guobin came over around noon. Chen Rou left the shop to him and went home to eat. The children had already cooked the food.
Chen Rou brought Han Guobin's portion over after she finished eating, and told him that she wanted to introduce a girl to Lu Dan.
"That's good." Han Guobin nodded and said, "I'll be back in a few days, so just talk to him then."
Han Guobin is well aware of the ins and outs of being a taxi driver, and the people under Lao Si have similar habits to Li Dayuan.
Of course, I’m not as rich as Li Dayuan, but I still go there for fun.
Han Guobin had warned his nephew, and Donkey's face turned red as he said he didn't go. When he was called and knew it was that kind of place, he ran out quickly!
Because of this, others laughed at me and said I was still a rookie.
After returning from this trip, Han Guobin asked about the trip. There was no major problem, so he said, "Your second aunt wants to introduce you to a girl from the city. She is a teacher in an elementary school. Tomorrow is Sunday and she will come to her sister's house for dinner. You can go to her house to meet her then."
Donkey Egg was delighted and asked, "Really?"
"Yes." Han Guobin nodded and said, "But you have to remember what I told you. If I find out that you are like the others, you can forget about this job. This red line was also drawn for you by your second aunt out of kindness. If you lose her, I will never use you again in the future."
"Uncle, don't worry. There is no such precedent in our Han family. We will not do that!" Donkey Egg hurriedly assured.
Han Guobin didn't say anything then.
So the next day, Ludan came home wearing new clothes, and Ma Yuling naturally greeted her sister Ma Yulan.
Ma Yulan was a slim girl. Although she had some freckles on her face and was not very pretty, her gentle temperament was so charming that it caught the attention of Donkey Egg at first sight.
He was called over by his second aunt to borrow some white vinegar. She was making sweet and sour pork ribs today, and there was some white vinegar at home, but it didn't stop him from borrowing it.
"Yulan, go get some white vinegar for Han Huai's family," Ma Yuling called out.
Han Huaijia is the name of Donkey Egg, and his elder brother Tiedan is called Han Huaidang, but they are all called Donkey Egg Tiedan because the elders are used to calling them that.
But outsiders will call out names.
Ma Yulan blushed and gave Donkey some white vinegar, and looked into Donkey's eyes closely.
It’s true, although Ludan is not as good-looking as Han Hang and his brothers, he has inherited the high nose bridge from the Han family, and because of driving a sports car, he is also tanned.
But Donkey Egg is quite tall, about 1.3 meters tall, and his head is not short. Although he is a little thin, he is definitely a spirited young man.
Compared to him, Ma Yulan looked much smaller, about 1.6 meters tall. She was quite fair, and because of her fair skin, the freckles on her face were more obvious.
She is a teacher, so she has a strong scholarly air and looks like a gentle and delicate little white flower.
"My name is Han Huaijia." Ludan felt that his heart was captured by the girl in front of him, and he felt that he was in love.
"Yeah." Ma Yulan responded softly.
Naturally, Ludan didn't have much to say. He just said something to Ma Yuling and went back.
When Donkey Dan left, Ma Yuling naturally pulled her sister aside to ask him about it. Ma Yuling naturally thought that Donkey Dan was a very good person. Donkey Dan would come to his uncle's house for dinner from time to time, so Ma Yuling had seen him many times.
When Chen Rou mentioned it, she also talked about the conditions on her sister-in-law's side. In the future, her sister would manage her own salary, and half of Lu Dan's salary would be sent back to his hometown to build a house.
For the people from the countryside, the countryside is their roots. No matter they go back to live there or not, it is a good idea to build a house there and keep it there.
If you make money outside, you can buy more.
So Ma Yuling nodded without any hesitation. She really thought it was a good idea, so she asked her sister.
Ma Yulan's face turned red and she said, "I don't know what he thinks of me." He kept staring at her face just now. Did he think she was ugly with freckles? She also feels a little inferior about her freckles.
"I'll find out if I go over and ask." Seeing her sister like this, what else was there that Ma Yuling didn't know? He smiled and took a piece of ginger from the kitchen and came over.
"Do you have any ginger at home? I'll get you some." Ma Yuling said with a smile.
"Just don't have any." Chen Rou in the kitchen called her in, and at the same time sent away her nephew who fell in love with the girl at first sight.
Donkey Egg knew that the elders were going to talk about something, so he didn't dare to stay any longer.
"What's the matter?" Chen Rou and Ma Yuling said in a low voice at the same time.
Ma Yuling smiled and said, "If there is no problem on your side, then Yulan and I will come over for dinner later."
This is very clear.
"Come here, come here. The rice for you has been cooked a long time ago. Have sweet and sour pork ribs with rice for lunch!" Chen Rou said with a smile.
Ma Yuling also smiled and came over to reply to her sister without staying for long. Ma Yulan blushed, but when she heard her sister say that she would come over for dinner later, she also nodded.
When Chen Gongan came back at noon, he was called home to eat.
Now we have replaced the table with a big round table a long time ago, so even if so many people come together, they can still sit down.
The children were not clear about it, but Chen Gongan, Ma Yuling, Chen Rou and Han Guobin all knew it.
After the meal, Ma Yulan helped clean up. Han Hang and the others were released by Chen Rou: "Huai Jia, go over and help. Let your brother and the others have a relaxing meal."
"Okay." Donkey Egg nodded and went to help clean up.
"How can this be so embarrassing?" Han Zhou said.
"It's nothing. Your brother is getting married soon, and he will have to help his wife with housework. Your father helped me a lot when he was in the village." Chen Rou said.
"Later, we did everything." Han Zhou said.
"You are so old now, of course you have to help." Chen Rou said, and then chatted with Ma Yuling. From time to time, she would pay attention to the movements in the kitchen.
After finishing her work, Ma Yulan came over to eat some fruit, sat with her sister for a while, and then got up and went back.
"Second Aunt, thank you so much." Donkey Egg nodded, a little embarrassed but unable to hide his happiness.
"It's not like our time now, where people would get married not long after a blind date. Now you have seen it, and the rest is up to you two to go your own ways." Chen Rou said.
"I know." Donkey nodded with a grin.
Zhang has four days off in July and Ma Yulan also has four days off in July, but she only has holidays on Sundays, while Ludan has holidays on Sundays.
So the two of them have relatively few interactions. If they hadn't been introduced by someone, they would definitely not have been able to get together.
Of course, it’s summer vacation now, so Ma Yulan is quite free.
After returning from his trip at the end of the month, Ludan took Ma Yulan back to his hometown to see his parents.
Ma Yuling thought that Donkey Egg's job was pretty good before, but now she still has some complaints, saying, "The Huai family is too busy now. The two of them only get together for a few days a month. When school starts and Yulan goes to work, there will be no chance for them to get together."
Chen Rou also thought it made sense and told Han Guobin about it at night.
"Then let Donkey Egg be replaced and be in charge of the furniture store," said Han Guobin.
The furniture store is also short of people, so it would be a good idea to let my nephew go over there. He can assign a convoy to those who collect grain, and he can continue to recruit others.
"Well, talk to him. It's not okay for two of them to be like this at such a young age. It would be better for them to change jobs." Chen Rou nodded.
So Donkey Egg became the manager of the furniture store.
But this management is not so easy. There is a fixed sales volume of furniture every month, which is set by the fourth brother.
It has to exceed that amount, otherwise the fourth brother will not be satisfied and want to replace him.
Fortunately, Donkey Egg is still capable. He is very good at selling things to people, has a good attitude, and delivers goods to people’s doorsteps. The orders for which deposits have been paid far exceed the sales volume.
Also because he no longer drove long distances, his relationship with Ma Yulan developed quickly. They were both types of people who liked each other. Lu Dan liked his partner's petiteness and gentleness, while Ma Yulan liked her partner's tallness and strong build, and he was dark-skinned and looked very healthy.
After Ludan met Ma's father and mother, the wedding date was set at the end of this year.
It just so happens that it will be not long after the autumn harvest, and by then Brother Han and Sister-in-law will be free. If they don’t have a holiday by then, the young couple can take a leave to get married.
