No one in the room knew what Sha Zhu was thinking.
Qin's father and mother were chatting animatedly with the Jia family.
After the conversation with Jia Dongsheng just now, Jia Zhang's mood improved a little, and she also showed the enthusiasm that a mother-in-law should have. Coupled with the words of matchmaker Li, the atmosphere was very warm.
Before I knew it, it was noon.
"Uncle, aunt, my house is being renovated. I'm really sorry that I can't have a simple meal at home."
When Jia Dongsheng said this, Qin's father and mother's expressions changed slightly, and a thought came to their minds: Could it be that they came here once and they didn't even want to arrange a meal?
Although Qin's father and mother don't have to eat a meal, can someone who is stingy even with a meal be a good in-law?
But they soon realized that they had been judging others by their own narrow-mindedness.
"I'm thinking of going out for a meal, and then eating at home next time we come. What do you think?" Jia Dongsheng said seriously.
"Brother Dongsheng, isn't it a waste to eat out? I heard that restaurants in the city are very expensive."
Before Qin's father and mother spoke, Qin Jingru felt a little distressed. This little girl had already begun to regard herself as the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Although she had not yet married into the family, she already knew how to be thrifty with the Jia family's money.
When Qin's father and mother heard what Qin Huairu said, they felt bad: "This damn girl, she's already turning her elbows outward before she even gets married. If she gets married, will she still have her family in her eyes?"
Unfortunately, these words could only be thought in the mind. Neither Qin's father nor his mother could say them out loud. They could only follow Qin Jingru's words and say, "Jingru is right, Dongsheng, it's a waste to eat out. It's better to just have a quick bite. It's getting late now. We have to leave soon. We still have work to do at home."
"That won't do. We're going to be in-laws soon. When they come, we have to have a good meal."
Jia Zhang was very satisfied with Qin Jingru. Even before she got married, she knew how to manage the household. She made the right choice of daughter-in-law.
But today was not the right time. She had not even had breakfast for the roast duck at noon and was already starving. If she did not eat, she would starve to death.
"Uncle and aunt, my mom is right. We have to have a good meal when we come here."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "Let's go now and eat roast duck at Quanjude."
"Roast Duck......"
This was a familiar word to Qin Jingru, but she had never thought it would resonate with her: "Brother Dongsheng is so nice to me, he even treated me to roast duck. Well, I must give birth to more children for Brother Dongsheng."
Well. In Qin Jingru's little head, having a child is the greatest reward for her man. This is completely the thinking of rural people.
However, for Jia Dongsheng, having a child is not important, but the process of giving birth is important.
After all, as the Northwest Hammer King said, the only thing that can be compared to the comfort of having a full meal is the process of giving birth.
As for Matchmaker Li, she was so happy that she was a little lost. This was her first time to act as a matchmaker for someone and someone even treated her to roast duck.
She even felt a little regretful in her heart. Because she had to go to Lijiagou in the morning, Li Matchmaker ate a little more breakfast. Now she was not the hungriest, and eating roast duck at this time, alas, she lost 100 million!
With Jia Zhang's persuasion and Jia Dongsheng's insistence, the group all headed towards Quanjude.
Nanluoguxiang is not very close to Quanjude, but because the Nanluoguxiang store has not opened yet, we can only eat at the main store.
The main store is at least an hour's walk from Nanluoguxiang.
Fortunately, knowing that we were going to eat Peking duck, no one complained about the one-hour journey.
Only Qin Huairu felt a little tired on the way because she had to hold Sophora japonica.
"Sister, let me hold it for you for a while." After walking for more than twenty minutes, Qin Jingru quietly came to Qin Huairu and said.
"Can you hold a baby?"
Qin Huairu was a little skeptical of Qin Jingru. After all, the child was still too young, and if she wasn't held properly, something could go wrong.
"I've never held one before, but I can learn. It's a good opportunity for you to teach me."
As Qin Jingru spoke, she was filled with anticipation: "Save the trouble of waiting until I marry Brother Dongsheng. By then, it will be too late to start studying after I have a child."
"this......"
Qin Huairu was choked and speechless, thinking to herself: "You want to learn how to hold a baby, so you use my child as an experiment, then what about my child?"
However, after holding her for a while, her arms were really sore. Qin Huairu thought about it and decided to hand Huaihua to Qin Jingru, and then she carefully taught her from the side.
Jia Dongsheng kept chatting with Qin's father and mother, talking about some things happening in the countryside.
Because we had just entered the three-year famine period, although life in the city had begun to be affected, the impact was not too serious and it was still no problem to maintain normal life.
But it’s not the same in the countryside.
We have now entered the era of eating two meals a day, and eating until 70% full at each meal. After this year and next year, we can only eat until 50% full at each meal. In the last year, it will be considered good if we can eat until 30% full at each meal.
Some people can even only eat one meal a day, and it is always just watery soup, with hardly any solid food at all.
At this time, Qin's father was still saying: "This year's grain has been planted, and it will be harvest time in the fall. Then we will definitely have enough to eat."
Jia Dongsheng didn't know how to respond to this. A good harvest had been impossible in the past three years. Grain production had dropped to 20% to 30%, and a lot of it had been taken away by the government.
