Chapter 67 Chapter 67
Jia Yumin asked in confusion: "Jia Kaiqian? Mother, who is he? Is there any uncle in our village with this name?" Why didn't she have any impression?
Zhang Xiuhua looked at her daughter with disdain: "You are so confused."
"How come you don't know anything about people? Jia Kaiqian from Xijia Village, Jia Yourui's father, Jia Guoye's father-in-law."
Zhang Xiuhua patiently told her daughter: "I like Jia Guoye very much. So many good guys wanted to marry Jia Yourui, who had a bad reputation, but he refused. He just married his daughter to Jia Guoye. I'm afraid that the money for recruiting a husband was also given to Jia Guoye. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so good to Jia Yourui..."
Jia Yumin was originally listening to her mother's words seriously, but as she listened, she felt that the mother in front of her was a little strange. Her mother used to be very close to Jia Guoye and was very polite when she called Jia Yourui. But her tone now was not bad, but too distant, which was different from her usual tone.
"Why are you in a daze?" Zhang Xiuhua asked unhappily, "Did you hear what I said?"
"Yes, I heard it." Jia Yumin nodded in response. She glanced outside the door, and for some reason she felt a little guilty, even though she hadn't done anything bad.
"Mom." Jia Yumin asked in a low voice, "That Jia, Jia Kai, what's that? He's Jia Yourui's father. How much money did he give to Jia Guoye?"
"How would I know that?" Zhang Xiuhua said, "I'm not familiar with Lin Fei."
"Oh, so that's it." Jia Yumin was a little disappointed.
"But." Zhang Xiuhua looked thoughtful after the unexpected turn of events and said, "I think there is definitely 2,000 yuan."
"What?" Jia Yumin was so shocked that her voice became louder: "So much?!"
"Look at how surprised you are. It is more expensive to hire a man here than to marry a wife. Otherwise, who would be willing to let their son go?"
Zhang Xiuhua patted Jia Yumin's hand and said, "And this number is still a conservative estimate. According to the treatment Jia Yourui receives at home, I estimate it should be more than this number."
"So Jia Guoye is so rich?" Jia Yumin was shocked. She asked Zhang Xiuhua, "But, mother, why didn't you tell me these things before?"
Zhang Xiuhua looked at her and said, "How could I know that the daughter I gave birth to would be so heartless and ignorant of the ways of the world."
She always treated Yumin as a girl and ignored the fact that she was getting married and had to be the head of her own family. Today, she told her these words.
Alas, Yumin was simple-minded and was not as good as her sister. Yulin understood things at once, but Yumin had to be told everything clearly before she understood.
"You." Zhang Xiuhua sighed and said helplessly: "Hey, if you really get together with Quan Hui in the future, I will go to Yu Chunlan to say a few good words to her, so that she can be more tolerant of you and teach you how to behave in the world and read people's faces."
"Mom." Jia Yumin's nose was sore and she was so moved that she almost shed tears. "You are really the best mother."
Zhang Xiuhua wiped her tears, her eyes a little red, and said with a smile: "Silly child."
The mother and daughter, who always quarreled, were rarely affectionate for a while.
......
Jia Yumin nestled in Zhang Xiuhua's arms and asked uncertainly, "Mom, will Jia Guoye be willing to lend us money?"
Zhang Xiuhua touched her daughter's hair and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to him in person, and he'll be willing."
If that doesn't work, Zhang Xiuhua thought, let Jia Qiheng talk to him.
......
Jia Qiheng only found out this morning that Jia Quanhui wanted to build a new house before marrying Yumin. Xiuhua also told him that they had to borrow money for Yumin, and he got a little angry at the time.
How could this be possible? Asking the girl's family to borrow money to build a house before marrying her? Besides, their family didn't ask for a new house before marrying their daughter, isn't this bullying?
Jia Qiheng was originally very happy that Yumin could date a promising young man like Quanhui, but now he began to complain. He vaguely felt that this guy was deliberately looking for excuses to delay. Therefore, he had a quarrel with his wife today before going out. Zhang Xiuhua was angry with him and did not accompany him.
How could he have the nerve to tell others about such an embarrassing thing?
...
The air was still cool in the morning. As time passed, the temperature in the air became higher and higher, and the sun rose higher and higher. At noon, a proud sun hung high above people's heads, and even people's shadows were almost invisible.
One after another, some people went to the Qingshuigou to wash hastily, went home to eat and take a nap, and were too tired to raise their heads.
Jia Guoye kept his word and worked diligently for Jia Mingzhang the whole morning without even setting foot in his own field, which made Jia Mingzhang's son feel embarrassed. However, with Jia Guoye's help, it was indeed much easier.
"Guoye, let's go eat." He said, "It's getting late, let's continue in the afternoon."
Jia Guoye wiped the dust from the corners of his mouth with his thumb and thought it was time to go back and cook for Xiaorui.
"Okay," he said.
...
After Jia Yourui was sure that she was going to study, she thought about telling her father, mother, brothers and sisters about it.
When can we go? It's still convenient to go to my parents' house, but my sister's house, Fengjia Village, is a bit far, and she can't remember the way...
The Dacron fabric she bought has been washed and dried. Jia Yourui wants to make two shirts for Jia Guoye, and she
traced the sizes according to his old shirts in the closet. She walked into Jia Guoye's room with ease, opened his small closet, looked for clothes, and memorized the original layout of his closet.
After tracing the sizes, she carefully put the shirts back, and confirmed that there were no signs of rummaging in the closet according to the original appearance.
…
After closing the cabinet door, Jia Yourui looked around his room. It was much simpler and narrower than her room, which had two mirrors, a large wardrobe and a dressing table. He always gave her the good things.
Needlework is very tiring. The morning passed quickly. Jia Yourui was sewing. With her sharp ears, she heard the sound of the door lock in the yard. She quickly hid the needlework under the quilt, fearing that the surprise she had prepared for Jia Guoye would be leaked.
"Huh." Jia Yourui patted her heart, which was beating fast. She was too nervous just now.
…
In the kitchen.
Jia Yourui walked up to Jia Guoye, put her hands behind her waist, and said with a giggle: "We have a deal. If I get bad grades in the exams in the future, you can't say anything about me."
She hasn't even started school yet, but she's already giving people a shot of defense. How insecure.
Jia Guoye nodded: "Yeah."
He lowered his head, and the two looked at each other. Jia Yourui was originally just excited, but now she felt shy and avoided his gaze, "You can't break your promise when the time comes~" She said something incoherently to divert attention.
"When did I say anything about you?" Jia Guoye's voice was low and magnetic.
"I don't know what you're afraid of." He chuckled.
Jia Yourui shook her head, "You never know." She put down her bowl and chopsticks, pretending to be pitiful.
She lowered her head slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Jia Guoye, muttering, "Many parents get so angry when they help their children with their homework that they become a different person."
"When you see my single-digit report card, you might put your hands on your hips and scold me with a stern face."
Jia Yourui imagined Jia Guoye's angry look, with a mischievous smile in her eyes: "Or you pretend nothing happened on the surface, but think in your heart, ah, Xiaorui is really stupid," she did not forget to brag about herself, "No wonder she has such a pretty face, it turns out she got it with her IQ."
Jia Guoye listened to her talking about these nonsense, which became more and more outrageous, and smiled helplessly with a soft look in his eyes.
"I really can't." Jia Guoye echoed her and said, "I'm stupid too..."
"What do you mean?" Jia Yourui interrupted him.
The little girl was furious. She said angrily: "Okay, so now you think I'm stupid?"
Jia Guoye: ...his stupid mouth.
Can time go back a little?
A small tricycle rushed to Xijia Village. The driver was dressed like an ordinary person, wearing shorts and shorts, his skin was tanned and rough by the sun, wearing a tattered straw hat, and chewing a dogtail grass in his mouth to relieve fatigue. The man sitting next to him seemed to be from two different worlds.
Chen Bingwen is here.
