The counterattack begins with Fan Shengmei in Ode to Joy

Chapter 412 Brother Zhuzi proposes marriage

A few days later, the factory manager ordered Zhuang Ziqiang to cook for the leader's family. This time, the leader wanted to invite important guests to dinner.

After the last contact, the leader|leader's wife treated Zhuang Ziqiang a lot more kindly. Seeing that he was interested in the phonograph after entering the living room, she asked, "Do you like listening to music?"

Zhuang Ziqiang shook his head, "It's not that I like listening to music, it's mainly because I don't have much to do after work, and doing anything is considered a hobby."

The leader | Mrs. Leader smiled, thinking that what he said was quite reasonable, she took a vinyl record and played a symphony for him.

Hearing the classic Mozart at this time and this place, Zhuang Ziqiang felt as if he had passed away.

Seeing that he was fascinated by what he listened to, Mrs. Leader did not disturb him, so she turned around and went to prepare the dishes for today.

After a while, the leader's wife asked Zhuang Ziqiang to cook, and he reluctantly glanced at the phonograph.

During the meal, the leader's wife talked about Zhuang Ziqiang's concentration when listening to music, the leader laughed and said, "This pillar is also a wonderful person!"

After eating, Zhuang Ziqiang returned to the courtyard with the packed lunch box and hummed the tune. When he entered the courtyard, the third master was repairing the table.

The third master is good at calculating, shrewd, and somewhat timid, but he is definitely not a good person to He Yuzhu.

In the play, He Yuzhu sent him something and asked him to introduce Teacher Ran from their school. The third master took the things and turned around not only did not mention this matter to Teacher Ran, but instead buried He Yuzhu.

Such a human nature can hardly be called a good person.

But this time Zhuang Ziqiang didn't ask the third master to help, and there was no conflict of interest between the two. The third master just simply couldn't understand Zhuang Ziqiang's style.

When Zhuang Ziqiang walked to the middle courtyard, he encountered a tiger blocking his way.

To be precise, a tigress.

"What do you mean?" Zhuang Ziqiang asked Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu didn't speak, but looked at the four boxes of lunch boxes in his pocket, the purpose was self-evident.

Zhuang Ziqiang is different from Shazhu, his principle is very simple, let's not talk about feelings, let's talk about reality.

Qin Huairu also understood, and followed Zhuang Ziqiang's footsteps.

After the positive energy is infused, you will feel refreshed.

Qin Huairu combed her hair and asked about Zhuang Ziqiang's wedding gift. She knew that Zhuang Ziqiang had been busy outside recently in order to prepare money.

Zhuang Ziqiang didn't intend to tell her the truth, this girl has a lot of things in mind, and the relationship between the two of them now is the exchange of body fluids.

Qin Huairu could also tell that he wasn't telling the truth, couldn't help but roll his eyes, he was a heartless man.

She really wasn't in a good mood, and the family was short of food recently, so she planned to borrow some money from Zhuang Ziqiang.

But Zhuang Ziqiang's style of taking off his pants and saying nothing, but not admitting it when he puts on his pants really makes her love and hate.

Based on the principle of not being at a disadvantage, Qin Huairu bought all four boxes of vegetables, not even keeping a single scum with Zhuang Ziqiang.

Just like she did just now.

One day in mid-April, it was the day Zhuang Ziqiang and Qin Jingru agreed upon.

He set off before dawn, and boarded the car of Qianjin Commune with large and small parcels, accompanied by Qin Huairu, who was from the Qin family and a matchmaker between the two, so she would definitely go.

Qianjin Commune is in the suburbs of Beijing, walking + bus + riding a carriage, it took the two of them more than half a day to arrive at Liujiatun, the Qianjin Commune where Qin's family is located.

The new son-in-law came to the door, Zhuang Ziqiang was in good spirits today, covering up the flaws on Sha Zhu's appearance.

With Qin Huairu around, the two found Qin Jingru's house with ease.

Ordinary rural earthen houses, the yard is still made of fences, and the conditions are also ordinary people in the countryside.

Knowing that today is the day when her daughter-in-law came to propose marriage, Qin Jingru's family did not go to work in the field, and they were busy all morning.

The neighbors all know that Qin Jingru, the second daughter of the Qin family, has found someone in the city, and she is also a cook. They heard that they came to propose a marriage today, and many people came to watch the excitement.

After Zhuang Ziqiang entered the door, he inevitably faced many scrutinizing and scrutinizing eyes. These fellow villagers, including the Qin family, couldn't help being a little disappointed when they saw Zhuang Ziqiang's appearance.

But I thought about it again, if it wasn't for the poor looks, why should I look for a girl from the countryside!

He is a chef in a factory in the city, and his salary is 37 yuan a month. After the second daughter of the Qin family gets married, she will really have no worries about food and clothing.

Qin Jingru saw Zhuang Ziqiang again after more than two months, she was a little shy, especially in front of so many people, she shyly called Brother Zhuzi.

Zhuang Ziqiang's shy appearance made Zhuang Ziqiang greedy.

The old BJ pays attention to eight items when proposing a marriage, and he is talking about eight kinds of dim sum. The conditions in the 60s were difficult, and it was not easy for everyone. In the eyes of later generations, the pastry was regarded as a small gift, and it was already one of the most dignified gifts at that time.

In addition, Zhuang Ziqiang specially prepared two bottles of Baita Daqu and Hongmeiyan.

Tobacco and alcohol were given to him by the leader when he heard that Zhuang Ziqiang was going to propose a marriage. Baita Daqu was named after the 60s, and later this wine was named Luzhou Laojiao.

With the addition of 68 yuan in cash, the dowry that Zhuang Ziqiang brought today can be regarded as full of sincerity.

At least in the knowledge of the common people in Liujiatun, this should be the first one.

When Qin Huairu married Jia Dongxu, a worker in the city, the bride price was only 30 yuan and a hundred catties of millet.

With these betrothal gifts, Qin Jingru's parents also felt a lot of face, they warmly entertained Zhuang Ziqiang, and became more and more satisfied with him the more they watched.

Even though he is from the city, there is no condescending feeling at all when he speaks, which makes everyone feel kind and nice.

After eating the sumptuous lunch prepared by the Qin family, with six dishes and one soup, it can really be said to be sumptuous in the countryside of this era.

There was also an old hen in the six dishes. Knowing that hens are an important means of production in this era, Zhuang Ziqiang felt a little embarrassed and ate a few more bites.

The neighbors who watched the excitement dispersed, and after lunch, Qin Jingru's parents dragged Qin Huairu to chat, and asked Qin Jingru to take Zhuang Ziqiang outside for a walk.

Qin Jingru knew that her parents wanted to show off as a cook and son-in-law in the city, but she also had this idea.

She was leading the way, and Zhuang Ziqiang caught up with her, followed by a group of idle, oily kids who said strange things from time to time, making Qin Jingru blush.

Zhuang Ziqiang made a gesture to coax the children away, and the children were not afraid of him, so they fell behind the two of them to watch the fun.

"These dead children really need to be dealt with!" Qin Jingru said bitterly after being stared at by the children.

Zhuang Ziqiang took her hand, Qin Jingru twitched as if his whole body was electrocuted, glanced at Zhuang Ziqiang in panic, and then looked around, as if he had done something wrong.

"Brother Zhuzi, don't..."

"It's okay, I've come to your house to propose marriage, what are you afraid of?"

Qin Jingru thought so too, feeling the warmth and strength of Zhuang Ziqiang's hand, she shuddered all over.
