Hello, I'm He Yuzhu

Chapter 398
You need to strike while the iron is hot.

Sun Zhiqiang asked the director directly for leave.

He took Li Hongxia to the department store and bought Li Gui two bottles of Moutai, two big front doors, and a catty of tea.

I bought a piece of woolen material for Chen Jinfeng.

Because of Xiao Fangfang, Sun Zhiqiang bought milk powder for Li Hongjun's family, and because Xiao Yuanyuan was unhappy without sugar, he bought fruit candies with wrappers for Xiao Yuanyuan.

Sun Zhiqiang came to Li's house with his things in hand.

"Uncle, aunt, elder brother, sister-in-law, I'm here to propose marriage."

Li Hongxia was held by his hand, unable to shake it off, feeling ashamed and shy.

"Sister Xiaomei, go and make a pot of Yuqian Longjing that the leader gave me for Xiaosun to taste!"

"Hey, I'm going right now."

Chen Jinfeng took Xiao Fangfang from Feng Xiaomei's arms, looked at Xiao Fangfang wrapped her fingers, and couldn't help teasing.

Sun Zhiqiang couldn't care less about drinking tea, so he took out the deposit slip he had prepared in his pocket.

"Uncle, aunt, this is my bride price."

Li Gui pushed back without even looking at it.

"Xiao Sun, our family is not short of money, and we don't want your dowry. It's still the same sentence, as long as you treat Hongxia well!"

Chen Jinfeng also said: "Your uncle is right, we accepted the gift you brought today, and this is the betrothal gift!"

Sun Zhiqiang seems to have opened up today.

Seeing that Li Gui and Chen Jinfeng refused to accept them, they stuffed them directly into Li Hongxia's hands.

"Hongxia, from now on, you are the housekeeper, you have the final say on our family, and the money will be handed over to you!"

Li Hongxia couldn't hold back, and took a look.

Exclaimed: "Sun Zhiqiang, where did you get so much money?"

Looking at the seductive eyes of the family members, Li Hongxia said again: "Dad, Mom, brother, Sun Zhiqiang has more than 2000 yuan on the deposit certificate!"

Sun Zhiqiang also explained: "I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't spend anything except food. These are all the wages I have saved in the past few years at work, and some of them are left to me by my parents, as well as their pensions back then. ······"

When you think about it, Sun Zhiqiang earns dozens of dollars a month, and it’s easy to save hundreds of dollars a year. Adding up all the miscellaneous things, this makes sense.

Li Gui nodded and praised, "He's someone who knows how to live."

"After you two get married, you will still live in Hongxia's Westinghouse. When you give birth to a child, your aunt and I will still be able to take care of your child!"

"It takes time to clean up a new house. When the house is ready, you will get married at that time."

Sun Zhiqiang stood up excitedly: "All according to the second elder's orders."

"From now on, I will respect you two elders as my biological parents."

Speaking of the wedding room, Li Hongxia yelled: "The room needs to be repainted."

Sun Zhiqiang nodded foolishly: "Okay!"

Li Hongxia: "The furniture needs to be remade. I want a dressing table, a double bed, a large wardrobe, high and low cabinets, a coffee table, a writing desk..."

Sun Zhiqiang: "OK!"

Li Gui couldn't help scolding: "What are you doing? Xiao Sun, don't listen to her!"

"36 legs are enough for your room, but if the furniture with 72 legs is put down, the space will appear crowded."

Li Hongxia thinks about it too.

"Three rotations and one sound, right?"

Li Hongxia glared at Sun Zhiqiang: "Chen Ju gets married every three times!"

At work, Li Hongxia couldn't get used to Chen Ju's flirtatious behavior. The two never got along with each other and always compared each other. Chen Ju was inferior to Li Hongxia in every way before, but when he was a family member, the man bought a bicycle, and immediately followed Li Hongxia who had a bicycle. It's even.

Li Hongxia has to surpass Chen Ju in marriage no matter what, and she doesn't steam steamed buns to compete.

Sun Zhiqiang obviously knew about this, and in order to save face for his wife, he had to buy it.

"Hongxia, the money is in your hands, you can buy whatever you want!"

Hearing this, Li Hongxia smiled happily.

Chen Jinfeng: "You don't need to buy a bicycle, how long have you been riding the bicycle your brother bought for you!"

"We also have sewing machines and radios, and your brother bought them the year before last. There's no need to waste that money."

"Three rotations and one sound, the watch is missing. I think you and Xiao Sun can just buy a watch."

Hearing Chen Jinfeng's words, Li Hongxia immediately pouted aggrievedly.

Sun Zhiqiang looked at it, so what's the matter!

"Auntie, you don't know, Hongxia is at work with a man named Chen Ju..."

"Just let her buy it. If Hongxia can marry me, I can't make her a head shorter than others."

"This······"

Chen Jinfeng didn't know how to answer. The son-in-law didn't care about spending money, and it was hard to say that she was a mother-in-law.

Li Hongjun had to come forward at this time.

"Hongxia, don't you just want to save face?"

"When you get married, we will take care of it for you. The banquet will definitely surpass your colleague."

"When the time comes, the sewing machine and the radio will be moved to your house, and then they will be moved back to your parents. You two are so busy at work, how can you have time to listen to the radio? You don't even know how to use the sewing machine, am I right?"

Li Hongxia had to admit that her elder brother was right.

"But, but, I don't care, I just can't let her look down on me."

Li Hongjun had some headaches, his younger sister must have a good time getting married.

"In this way, Xiaosun doesn't have a bicycle. You and Xiaosun bought a bicycle in addition to a watch. Although it's a bit high-profile, but who told you to compare with others, you can have one for each of you, right?"

Li Hongxia reluctantly accepted it.

"Brother, you have to do something nice and decent for me!"

"Don't embarrass me in front of me at the same time, I don't want any Chen Ju to show off in front of me in the future."

Li Hongjun promised: "Don't worry, I will greet Secretary Xie when the time comes, and I will pick you up in his car!"

"Xianmian, ten hard dishes, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, delicacies from mountains and seas, will definitely let you have both the inside and the face."

In the evening, Chen Jinfeng killed chickens and fish, and left Sun Zhiqiang to eat at home. Li Hongxia's marriage was considered settled.

Xiao Yuanyuan woke up in the afternoon and looked at the dark Sun Zhiqiang. Under Feng Xiaomei's guidance, she called her uncle sweetly.

This uncle can make Sun Zhiqiang's heart burst into joy, and he is overjoyed.

At the dinner table, Sun Zhiqiang said that the Li family didn't need to worry about painting the house or beating the furniture. Some of his patients worked in paint factories, and some were carpenters.

Li Hongxia and Sun Zhiqiang also agreed that they would file a report with the unit and submit the application on the next rest day, and the two would go to register.

Satisfied with wine and food, Sun Zhiqiang went back alone.

Xiao Yuanyuan also had a good night's sleep and became more energetic. Looking at her baby sister, Xiao Yuanyuan stretched out her fingers for a while, carefully poking at Fangfang's little face, where are the two sisters laughing.

After talking to her sister for a while, Fangfang kicked her legs, babbling, but she couldn't understand what she said.

"Yuanyuan, what are you doing!"

"Mom, I'm feeding my sister candy!"

Feng Xiaomei taught: "My sister is too young to eat candy."

Xiao Yuanyuan was in a hurry, and was about to stuff the candy into her sister's mouth, while shouting: "Yes, my sister can eat it!"

"Sweet candy, it's delicious, just give her a piece!"

Li Hongjun picked up Xiao Yuanyuan and said, "Go, Dad will accompany you out to play, my sister is still young and can only drink milk!"

Xiao Yuanyuan was puzzled: "Dad, why can my sister only drink milk?"

"It was like this when you were young. My sister just started to erupt her baby teeth, and she couldn't eat anything else."

Xiao Yuanyuan gave a half-understanding 'oh'.

In the alley, someone's child stood on the side of the road and hissed.

Xiao Yuanyuan turned her head: "Father, he is shameless."

"Shy!"

Li Hongjun looked at the chaotic alley, and carried his daughter back.

Although everyone didn't care about these trivial details at this time, Li Hongjun couldn't let his daughter learn from these children, and she would become a wild girl when she grew up.

"Why are you two back again?"

"Hey, don't mention it, in the alley..."

Feng Xiaomei also felt that it was because the parents did not properly discipline the child that the child had no tutor.

But in this period, every family has several children, and the adults have to go to work to earn money to support the family, so how can they have the energy to take care of the children?

"You're not tired just holding her like this!"

Li Hongjun caressed Xiao Yuanyuan in Youyou's arms, and said dotingly: "I'm not tired, even if I die from exhaustion, I'm willing."

The next day, Chen Jinfeng filed a retirement report when he arrived at the factory.

The factory responded quickly, asking the family successors to come to the factory to report at any time.

In the cafeteria, Director Fan was discussing with Li Gui, planning to let Li Hongjun replace Chen Jinfeng as the squad leader of the back kitchen.

"Director, you know the character of the Red Army, he is just a slob, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let him be the squad leader!"

"Master Li, besides you in the back kitchen, the Red Army cooks the best. He has also worked in the factory for several years. If he is not the squad leader, who will be?"

Li Gui just wanted to be courteous to Director Fan, and the wages on duty were raised accordingly, how could Li Gui really refuse.

Director Fan also knew that Li Gui was just being polite to him.

On the same day, Chen Jinfeng left, and Li Hongjun became the squad leader of the back kitchen.

Li Hongjun called together dozens of people in the back kitchen, and made a simple speech, the meaning of which was the same as before.

Li Hongjun became the squad leader, but he handed over all the kitchen work to Dashuan to worry about.

After get off work in the evening, I called Dashuan's family to have a meal together. Firstly, it was to celebrate Chen Jinfeng's retirement, and secondly, to celebrate Feng Xiaomei's becoming a working class.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law, Zhou Mei, was very envious of her sister-in-law, and encouraged Dashuan: "Dashuan, tell your uncles and them that you can get me to work as a worker in the factory!"

Dashuan looked puzzled, the factory was full of carrots and pits, if no one left, no newcomers would be recruited, even if apprentices were recruited every year, the normal procedure would take several years for apprentices to be released, some people were old or for other reasons Once you leave the factory, you will become a full-time employee only if you have a quota.

This sudden entry into the factory, isn't this embarrassing others.

Da Shuan didn't say anything, Zhou Mei knew it would not work.

But she did not give up: "Next year I can go to the factory as a temporary worker apprentice!"

"Let's not talk about this today, I will ask later!"

Li Hongjun didn't see Er Shuan's daughter-in-law, so he couldn't help asking: "Leaving?"

Er Shuan said in a muffled voice, "Not yet, I'm back in the countryside!"

Ershuan was also shaken, everyone around him had children, how could he not be envious, even though he didn't want to divorce his wife, but seeing others holding their children to show off everywhere, the balance in his heart gradually moved towards Li Chunxia's side tilt.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, Li Hongjun patted Er Shuan on the shoulder: "Let it take its course!"

Er Shuan squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I understand."

After the dinner was over in the evening, Er Shuan was called away by Li Chunxia.

It's nothing more than asking Er Shuan to divorce and remarry, and to have children, which is a cliché.

The countryside, the Qian family.

Ershuan's daughter-in-law sighed and sighed all day long, depressed.

The Qian family can't do anything about it, their daughter is a chicken that can't lay eggs, there are three major unfilial sons, and the Qian family has no face to intercede.

Mother Qian: "Girl, there is no room for you and Ershuan to relax?"

"Mom, Er Shuan thinks the child will be possessed by a demon!"

"And my mother-in-law is looking forward to Ershuan giving her a grandson."

"Hey······"

Mother Qian patted her thigh and sighed: "Father, you are just watching our daughter and son-in-law divorce like this!"

Father Qian looked at the cigarette pot with the sole of his shoe: "What can I do, unless I can conjure a child!"

Mother Qian raised her head abruptly, patted her head, and said in surprise, "Yes, how did I just think of that!"

"Son, as long as they have a child, all problems will be solved, let our daughter and Ershuan adopt a child!"

Father Qian scolded angrily: "How could the Feng family agree to adopt orphans because they have long hair and short knowledge?"

Father Qian got up and sat on the threshold, smoking the pipe.

Frowning, with deep forehead lines across his forehead.

"This is the end of the matter. I will go to the city sometime. If the Feng family agrees to adopt one, then our daughter can continue to live with Ershuan."

"As long as you don't be a monster again, just live your life honestly."

"If the Feng family disagrees, let's not procrastinate, just leave as we should!"

Er Shuan's daughter-in-law covered her face and cried, "Dad, I don't want to divorce Er Shuan!"

"I divorced Ershuan, and when I go back to the countryside, what do you want me to do in the future!"

Father Qian said helplessly: "If it's really not possible at that time, just marry far away!"

"Leave this place, no one will gossip."

On the second day, Father Qian rushed into the city with his daughter.

At noon, Li Chunxia asked Zhou Mei to go to the factory to call Da Shuan and Er Shuan back.

He even went to the street and cut two catties of meat to entertain his in-laws.

"Old sister-in-law, I will be blunt."

"I have an idea. Let Er Shuan and his young couple adopt an orphan. See if it will work!"

Li Chunxia looked at her son: "Er Shuan, what do you think?"

Er Shuan squirmed his mouth, looked at Li Chunxia's eyes, but didn't say a word after all.

In his heart, he was also unwilling to adopt other children. He was unwilling to have his own child even though he could have one himself.

But he and his wife have lived together for a few years and have feelings for each other. He still feels a little bit reluctant about the divorce, which makes people tangled.

Seeing that Er Shuan, who was the party involved, did not express his opinion, Father Qian understood everything in his heart.

I can only sigh that my daughter is not blessed.

"Then, then, then leave!"

"dad······"

Father Qian looked at his daughter helplessly, and advised, "Let go!"

Seeing the crying daughter-in-law, Li Chunxia felt uncomfortable. As a woman, Zhou Mei felt the same way and took out a handkerchief to give to her sister-in-law.

Er Shuan panicked, opened the door and went outside to smoke.

Li Chunxia: "Then leave."

"Er Shuan, come in, I have something to say!"

As soon as the second cigarette was lit, he went back to the house.

"Er Shuan, even though you're divorced, you can't stand by and watch what happens to the Qian family in the future, and you should do your best, you know?"

"Mom, I know."

Li Chunxia took out a handkerchief from under the kang mat, opened it and found money inside.

"Here is 50 yuan, Er Shuan pays filial piety to me every month!"

Li Chunxia gave the money to Ershuan's daughter-in-law: "We are a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the mother has nothing to give you, so take it with you!"

Ershuan led his wife out for a divorce.

After leaving the house, Er Shuan's daughter-in-law had tears in her eyes and cried out sadly: "Er Shuan..."

"Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry!"

Er Shuan also shed tears, his mouth trembling.

Er Shuan's daughter-in-law was ordinary, she knelt down in front of Er Shuan in the street, and begged, "Er Shuan, I know that I have done many wrong things in the past, but I really don't want to leave you!"

Seeing the crying daughter-in-law kneeling in front of him, Er Shuan's heart softened.

Helping his daughter-in-law: "Let's go, let's go to the factory to find the Red Army!"

"My mother actually loves the Red Army the most. The Red Army is the only seedling of the Li family, and only he can persuade my mother."
