In the room, besides Jia Zhang, there was also an older woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties. She was none other than the nearby matchmaker Li whom Jia Zhang had found.
"Sister-in-law Jia, your family is so blessed! Ten years ago, the most beautiful flower in Qinjiagou married into your family. Ten years later, this most beautiful flower will soon marry into your family. If you give birth to a few big fat boys, you will be even more blessed."
These words touched Jia Zhang's heart.
Apart from the fact that she was too beautiful, she was very satisfied with everything else about Qin Huairu. The same was true for Qin Jingru. With her figure, it looked like she could give birth to a son.
What Jia Zhang likes most is to let her daughter-in-law give birth to a grandson.
"That's right, that's right, our Jia family is blessed, but it's all thanks to your help, Matchmaker Li."
As she spoke, Jia Zhang did not hesitate and directly took out three yuan and handed it to Matchmaker Li: "Here, this is your wedding money."
That’s right, the matchmaker’s introduction fee should be called wedding money, which is festive.
"Sister-in-law Jia, I won't be polite then."
Matchmaker Li took the money with a smile. She felt a little embarrassed to receive it. After all, this matter was not difficult. Qin Jingru had feelings for her and Jia Dongsheng was interested in her. She just ran errands and earned three dollars. She was very happy.
"Dongsheng, hurry up and cook. We need to treat your Aunt Li well."
Nowadays, it is very common to call older people "uncle" or "auntie" regardless of whether you know them or not.
"Okay." Jia Dongsheng responded and went to the outer room to prepare.
Qin Huairu had already picked up the child and went next door to feed him.
Before going to work, Qin Huairu left two bowls of milk, but Huaihua was so small that he ate and digested quickly, so it was not enough. If Jia Dongsheng had not left milk powder at home, Jia Zhang would have had to run back and forth between home and the steel rolling mill.
When Huaihua needs milk, we have to rush to the factory. Fortunately, we have milk powder so it won’t be so troublesome.
"Brother Dongsheng, let me help you."
When Qin Jingru saw that Jia Dongsheng was going to cook, she quickly rolled up her sleeves and prepared to help. Her diligence made Jia Zhang nod her head in agreement.
Such a sensible and capable girl is the favorite of her as a mother-in-law: "It seems that Qin Jingru is indeed a good girl!"
"Brother Dongsheng, my sister is at work today?"
While cooking, Qin Jingru stared with big eyes and asked curiously.
"Yeah, today is my first day at work."
Jia Dongsheng took out the flour, mixed the dough, and said he would steam buns soon, without even raising his head.
"So is my sister also a worker now?" Qin Jingru continued to ask curiously.
"Right."
Jia Dongsheng turned his head and glanced at Qin Jingru, then smiled and said, "Why, you want to be a worker too?"
"No, no, no, I don't want to."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru unexpectedly shook her head like a rattle. It was obvious that she was using a lot of strength to shake her head, and even her big white rabbits started to shake.
Feeling a little dizzy, Jia Dongsheng continued to ask, "Why don't you want to be a worker? Being a worker is so great. It's such a noble profession."
"But if I become a worker, what will you do, Brother Dongsheng?"
Qin Jingru said timidly: "My sister became a worker after her brother-in-law died. If I want to be a worker, then Brother Dongsheng..."
This was not continued, but Jia Dongsheng also moved, and shook his head with a wry smile. What was Qin Jingru thinking about in her little head!
"You little girl, what are you thinking about?"
Jia Dongsheng rolled his eyes and said, "I was thinking that if you also want to be a worker, I'll see if there's an opportunity. I'll find you a job then, and it'll also allow you to transfer your household registration to the city. Otherwise, if you have children in the future, they'll have to have a rural household registration like you."
"Give birth to a child?"
Qin Jingru looked at Jia Dongsheng with her big eyes without blinking, with anticipation and a little shyness in her eyes. Why did they talk about having children? Are they so anxious?
"If Brother Dongsheng and I had a child, it would definitely be very well-behaved and cute, right?"
Qin Jingru's thoughts began to wander a little, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. Her pretty face turned red like a red apple.
"What is this girl thinking?"
Jia Dongsheng shook his head in confusion. He couldn't guess what women were thinking, whether in later times or in this era.
Just like the lyrics say, don’t try to guess what a girl is thinking. You’ll never figure it out no matter how hard you try!
Because the house was going to be renovated, there were not many things available for cooking. Jia Dongsheng simply made some scrambled eggs with green onions, some black fungus and cabbage, some millet porridge and some white flour steamed buns.
Although it looks simple, it is actually very luxurious.
Matchmaker Li was not polite either. She had a big appetite and ate three whole steamed buns. Jia Zhang felt sorry for her because she only ate two.
Qin Jingru also quietly ate two steamed buns. This was the second time she had a full meal this year. The last time was also at the Jia family.
At this moment, Qin Jingru felt that she was about to enjoy a happy life. When she married into the Jia family, she would have enough to eat every day. Then she would give birth to a few children for Brother Dongsheng. That life would be...
Qin Jingru thought happily, and her eyes revealed longing.
Jia Dongsheng was still thinking about chatting with Qin Jingru, but who knew that this girl's thoughts had gone astray again. He could only shake his head with a wry smile, and then started today's education while wolfing down the sticks.
"When you eat, don't eat so fast. No one's going to snatch it from you. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly, okay?"
Jia Dongsheng played the stick and his head exploded, which made him remember it more deeply.
People who lower their heads and eat without caring about anything while eating are really uncultured. It’s okay at home, but if they develop this habit and continue to do so even when they are outside, people will think they are uncultured and have no manners.
"I understand, Uncle." Banggeng answered in a low voice.
"Yeah, I'm glad to know."
Jia Dongsheng raised his arm and looked at his watch, then said, "From now on, I will time your meals. A meal will take fifteen minutes. You can only eat slowly, not fast."
"If you're even a minute slower, your head will explode. If you're not afraid of the pain, just keep eating voraciously."
"No, no."
Bang Geng shook his head repeatedly. Jia Dongsheng hit his head hard, and it wasn't just a gentle flick, but a very strong one. One hit would make his head red. If he hit it a few more times...
Thinking of this, Bang Geng suddenly became alert, with a look of fear in his eyes: "Will my head be blown off?"
Then when he continued to eat, Banggeng ate very slowly and leisurely, neither hurried nor slow. At such a young age, he had the demeanor of a gentleman. Jia Dongsheng smiled and nodded, thinking that this boy was teachable.
