The next morning, Jia Dongsheng went to the station to send Qin Jingru back to Qinjiagou, accompanied by matchmaker Li.
Of course, it is impossible to get three dollars of wedding money so easily.
She was the one who brought Qin Jingru here, so of course she had to take her back.
"Brother Dongsheng, I can't bear to leave you."
Qin Jingru's eyes were red. She felt that she really couldn't bear to leave Jia Dongsheng, or she felt that she couldn't bear to have a full meal.
"Be good, we'll see each other again on Sunday."
After this meeting, the two of them were settled. They agreed that on Saturday, Matchmaker Li would go to Qinjiagou again and bring Qin Jingru and her parents to the city. Jia Dongsheng would treat them to a meal and then set a date for the wedding.
During the three-year famine, weddings could not be held in a grand manner. They would just set up a banquet and have a meal.
As for whether Jia Dongsheng and Qin Jingru got married too quickly since they had only met a few times, that was not a big deal at all.
This is how marriages were done in this era: a matchmaker would bring someone over, and if they felt they were a good match, they would get married. They would pick a date, get married, and live their lives behind closed doors.
You don't even need a license.
Like the Platonic love in later generations, in this era, it is a synonym for illness, or you can be sued for hooliganism.
Dating without the intention of getting married is just hooliganism.
"Brother Dongsheng, can you hug me?"
The car is about to arrive. How can Jia Dongsheng refuse Qin Jingru's request? She is his fiancée.
He reached out and held Qin Jingru in his arms. The two of them didn't say anything, enjoying the simple emotional exchange.
Matchmaker Li on the side smiled faintly like an aunt. She was always happy every time she saw this kind of young love.
Soon, the car arrived. Qin Jingru waved to Jia Dongsheng, then got in the car with Li the matchmaker and left.
The car had already left, but the people in the car were still waving their hands. Jia Dongsheng saw all of this. It must be said that Qin Jingru really tied her heart to Jia Dongsheng now.
After seeing Qin Jingru off, Jia Dongsheng returned home.
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were packing up things at home, including pots, pans, and utensils, and placed them all in the open space in the yard.
The renovation is about to begin.
During the renovation period, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu moved to Yi Zhonghai's house.
Yi Zhonghai had two rooms in the west wing, but now his family of four only lives in one room, and the other room is empty.
Jia Zhang went to ask Auntie to borrow her house to stay for a few days. Not to mention that Auntie still owed Jia Zhang a favor, even if she didn't owe her a favor, she would not refuse to let her stay for a few days because a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.
As for Jia Dongsheng, he no longer lived in the yard. He went out to find a place to live.
When I first came back, I lived on the same kang with Qin Huairu and no one said anything. But now when I go to someone else's house and sleep on the same kang, there will definitely be people in the yard gossiping about me.
"Dongsheng, quickly move the tables, cabinets and other large items out. Huairu, go and give them a hand."
Seeing Jia Dongsheng coming back, Jia Zhang quickly took command.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Of course, Jia Dongsheng was the first to take on such heavy items. Whether it was a table or a cabinet, Qin Huairu supported him and he moved them all to the yard one by one.
The Jia family usually only has one room, so there shouldn't be many things in the house. However, there are still three thousand nails in the broken boat. After all this rummaging, there are a lot of things in the yard.
"Mom, I didn't expect our family still has some financial resources?"
After cleaning up, Jia Dongsheng looked at the things in the yard and said with a smile.
"That's right. I've saved my whole life, how could I have nothing?"
Jia Zhang's expression was a little proud. Although her life had taken a toll on her husband and eldest son, the family still had some assets.
"Mom, see if anyone has a tarpaulin. Borrow some and cover all these things. Don't let it rain during the renovations and get them soaked with water."
"I know, you should go to work. It's already late."
Hearing Jia Zhang's urging, Jia Dongsheng raised his arm and glanced at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock, and he should indeed go to work.
"Sister-in-law, we're going to work. We'll clean up when we get back."
"Okay, I'll put on a coat then."
Qin Huairu responded, put on her clothes, sat in the back seat of Jia Dongsheng's car, and headed towards the steel mill.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Jia Dongsheng started cooking immediately. Today he made a meat dish, stir-fried pork with chili peppers.
I saw two kitchen helpers carrying two large bowls of shredded chili peppers, and a small bowl of shredded meat on the stove. It was obvious that although it was a meat dish, the vegetable was still the main ingredient, with the meat as a supplement.
However, such dishes are already very luxurious, and we can only indulge in them once at the beginning of each month.
At the beginning of every month, a thousand kilograms of meat would be delivered to the steel mill. The large canteen would receive fifty kilograms, while the small canteen would only receive twenty kilograms. The remaining meat would be used to make animal oil so that every meal in the future would have some oil in it.
Of course, Jia Dongsheng couldn't use up 20 kilograms of meat at once. He only used about 8 kilograms to make the stir-fried pork with chili peppers.
Eight kilograms of meat and thirty kilograms of chili peppers, such disproportionate dishes, but Jia Dongsheng still made a dish that was delicious and fragrant.
The kitchen is filled with the aroma of food, so as a kitchen staff, I decided to have a meal first.
"Dongsheng, the food you cook is really delicious."
As Qin Huairu spoke, she picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and ate the steamed bun in big mouthfuls.
That’s right, Qin Huairu ate steamed corn bread. As for steamed buns made of two-grain flour or white flour, she was reluctant to eat them and gave them to Jia Dongsheng.
