When Jia Dongsheng and Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard together, they found that the atmosphere in the whole courtyard had become a little strange.
As soon as they walked into the front yard, they found that the residents in the front yard were looking at them with a hint of envy.
This puzzled Jia Dongsheng: "My family has been prosperous for so long, and you're just starting to envy them. Isn't it too late?"
Just as I was wondering if something had happened at home that caused this change, Yan Fugui ran out of the house.
“Dongsheng, Dongsheng.
"Hey, Third Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Jia Dongsheng looked at Yan Fugui, but found that there was a hint of envy on his face, which made him even more curious.
You know, although Yan Fugui likes to take advantage of small things, he is still very satisfied with his life and will not easily show envy.
"Dongsheng, something great has happened in your family."
Yan Fugui came over and said immediately, then looked at Qin Huairu with a look that was hard to describe.
This look made Qin Huairu's heart beat fast. Could it be that the affair with Dongsheng was discovered?
"Third Uncle, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?" Qin Huairu asked in confusion.
"No, no."
Yan Fugui smiled awkwardly, then added, "Your father and Dongsheng's father-in-law are here today, and they brought you a lot of things."
"When your third aunt from my family helped carry things, the bags were filled with slaughtered and cleaned chickens, ducks, and geese. There must have been more than ten of them."
"And, wow, there's a horse cart, a donkey cart, and an ox cart, three carts of firewood in total. There's so much firewood that they've piled up a huge pile in front of your house."
Well, Yan Fugui is worthy of being a Chinese teacher, and he can indeed use exaggerated grammar. After saying this, Jia Dongsheng understood why the resident in the front yard looked at him with envy.
This is because he saw that his family was showing off their wealth!
The two cheap fathers-in-law pulled the things into the courtyard. In that era, neighbors would of course help unload the truck, so it was not surprising to find the things they brought.
And Jia Dongsheng didn't care about being discovered. These things could be seen by light, so what if someone saw them?
It is natural for a father-in-law to love his son-in-law. If you have the ability, you can also find a father-in-law who loves his son-in-law.
In fact, Yan Fugui not only thought so, but also really planned to do so.
He showed a shy or embarrassed smile that was unique to him and looked at Qin Huairu: "Huairu, you have been in the hospital for so many years, and Third Uncle has never asked you to do anything. But today, Third Uncle is willing to put his old face on the line and ask you for something."
Wow, these words really opened Jia Dongsheng's eyes.
Yan Fugui rarely, or even never, asks for help from others, simply because he has some of the character of a scholar.
In the drama, he owed money to Sha Zhu, but he would rather put aside his dignity as a scholar and pick up scraps to pay back the money. It can be seen that Yan Fugui is a person who cannot owe favors to others.
Therefore, it was not easy for him to humble himself and beg Qin Huairu!
Qin Huairu was also a smart person. She had been married into the Siheyuan for so many years and of course she knew Yan Fugui very well. So, she immediately showed her indignation and asked with a smile: "Uncle, we are all neighbors on the street. If you have any problems, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can. Why do you need to ask for help?"
"Of course, you can't blame me if I can't help."
"Of course, of course."
Yan Fugui nodded repeatedly, but thought to himself, "Qin Huairu is indeed a smart woman. What she said may seem frank, but it leaves room for improvement. In this regard, Yu Li still has a lot to learn!"
No matter what he was thinking, he kept a calm face and said his request: "It's like this. He's getting older and older. I was just wondering, if there is a suitable one, could you see if you can find him a partner on his mother's side?"
After hearing these words, Jia Dongsheng and Qin Huairu were both stunned. They looked at the third uncle in disbelief, as if they were looking at a monster.
"Ahem, why are you looking at me like that?"
Yan Fugui felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, and he coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.
"Uncle San, have you forgotten that your second child is only eleven?"
Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiefang, as you can tell from his name, he was born in the year when the city of 1949 was liberated and the year when the People's Republic of China was founded.
That was 1949, and now it is 1960. He is only eleven years old, and he is asking Qin Huairu to introduce him to a partner?
Even in this era, there are still many young people who get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. They don't care about the country's preliminary marriage policy and still follow the ideas of the older generation. But even so, there is still a difference of four or five years between eleven and fifteen or sixteen.
"Well, it's only eleven, but it's almost 61 years, so that makes it twelve."
Yan Fugui pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, trying to ease the awkwardness: "From twelve to fifteen, it's just a blink of an eye. Three years, it's over in a blink of an eye. I'm just worried that there's a good girl in Huairu's hometown, and I'll miss her."
"Huai Ru, you are also aware of your third uncle's family conditions. It can be said that they are quite good."
"I have a car, a house, a sewing machine, and a pocket watch. All I need is a radio. If I can get three turns and one ring, I'll have everything. You can marry into our family, and you'll be right."
At this point, Yan Fugui showed his usual calculating smile: "Of course, the girl's family you help find must be similar to yours and Dongsheng's father-in-law's family."
When he said this, his little eyes were full of calculation. My goodness, more than ten chickens, ducks and geese, plus three carts of firewood, how much would this cost?
If they find such a relative, won’t their family become rich?
Jia Dongsheng and Qin Huairu were speechless after hearing what Yan Fugui said. Although, what he said was not wrong, his family's conditions were indeed good at first glance.
However, introducing a good girl to their home is almost like pushing her into a fire pit.
If you have to calculate even when eating a pickle, how can you live a good life?
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are girls who are determined to marry into the city. They even have to calculate their food, at least they have something to eat. Especially in the last two or three years, rural families have wanted to marry their daughters off, otherwise there would be one more person to eat at home.
It’s just that in the last two or three years, many girls in rural areas have gotten married, but Yan Jiefang can’t keep up. He is not old enough to get married.
In the end, Jia Dongsheng and Qin Huairu could only shake their heads and smile bitterly, then nodded in agreement on the surface.
Of course, agreeing is one thing, but whether to introduce someone or not is another matter.
