Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1031 Everyone has their own thoughts

Seeing Yan Jiefang being so ignorant, the third uncle wanted to teach him a lesson.

But it's getting late now. If I continue to talk nonsense here, it will definitely delay the discussion.

So the third uncle didn't say much and brought Yan Jiefang to Qin Huairu's home.

When Jia Zhang saw two people coming in, she immediately got up from the bed and ran into the main room.

"Oh, you really brought a lot of gifts this time, not bad, not bad, not bad."

When Jia Zhang saw the gifts, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he has no culture

But it can be clearly seen that this time, the gifts brought by the third uncle are all good things.

Jia Zhang picked up the gifts and ran into the house, hiding them.

Seeing this scene, the third uncle frowned in depression.

the reason is simple.

Logically speaking, these gifts should be given to Xiaodang's mother, Qin Huairu.

  But now it has been snatched away by Jia Zhangshi

But he didn't say anything when he saw Qin Huairu.

Naturally, I was too embarrassed to say anything and could only pretend that I didn't see it.

After Jia Zhangshi started over

The third uncle then looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, you two also know.

Now our children are all grown up. If we delay any further, they will become older adults.

If I get married then, I will be laughed at by others. The New Year is coming soon.

Should our two families discuss and arrange the marriages for our two children?"

What the third uncle said was very reasonable and hit the crux of the matter completely.

Xiaodang and his son are about the same age, both 23 years old this year.

In later generations, this age is considered very young and there is no need to rush into getting married.

But at this age, the two of them are already considered older young people.

If we delay any further, we will really be laughed at by the residents in the compound.

Nowadays, a big reason why people like to get married during the Chinese New Year is because they need to buy a lot of delicious food.

After everyone finishes this meal, they will save some meat and vegetables during the New Year.

  After hearing this, Jia Zhang's expression did not ease. He said coldly: "Third Master, you are too anxious. Our Xiaodang is not only a virgin girl,

She is a formal female worker in the factory. Such conditions are very impressive no matter where she is.

Logically, we should go through all the old rules."

I heard that Jia Zhang wanted to follow the old rules.

The third uncle's face suddenly changed, because he knew that Jia Zhang was the so-called old rule.

These are the rules set by wealthy families when they married off their daughters before liberation.

Such rules are not only very complicated, but also very time-consuming.

If we really follow that rule, it will take at least two or three months to complete.

The third uncle quickly said: “I can understand your concerns about Jia Zhang, but now it is a new society.

If we continue to follow the old rules and spread the news, the comrades in the street office might criticize us. Now the street office advocates doing new things in new ways.

As long as the children are willing, there is no need for us to talk about those old rules. "

Jia Zhangshi didn't expect that the third uncle could find such a clever reason. He wanted to refute it but couldn't find it.

After all, Jia Zhang was illiterate and had no idea about the street policies on a daily basis.

Qin Huairu was originally angry because Jia Zhangshi brought the gift into her room.

That's why she had kept silent the whole time, but now seeing that the third uncle had rendered Jia Zhang speechless, Qin Huairu had no choice but to come forward.

He knew very well that if Jia Zhang failed to get enough benefits, it would also affect him.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Third Uncle, I understand your concerns. Of course, we don't have to follow the old rules, but do we still need to discuss things like the betrothal gift?"

When Yan Jiefang and Xiao Dang were dating, they also discussed getting married.

Jia Zhang still asked for a huge amount of money from the third uncle, and the two families had a big quarrel over this matter.

  So the third uncle quickly said: "Qin Huairu, I also know that your Xiaodang is very good, but now our street no longer advocates dowry.

If your family really wants a dowry, the residents in the compound will know about it.

The street office will definitely punish you. I'm doing this for your own good. I don't care about the money.

"

  The third uncle wanted to use the same method he used to deal with Jia Zhang to deal with Xiao Dang.

How can Qin Huairu be compared to that old woman?

Qin Huairu did not correct the Third Uncle's words. He looked at him calmly and said, "Third Uncle, you may not know yet?

Our Xiaodang is a female employee in a textile factory. She now earns 35 yuan a month. She is very active in her work and her skills are improving rapidly.

I will be able to be promoted to a level 4 worker next month, and then my salary will be more than 40 yuan.

After Xiaodang marries Yan Jiefang of your family, Xiaodang's salary will be equivalent to the money of your family.

In this case, do you think it is too much for us to ask you for some dowry?"

As soon as these words came out, the third uncle was speechless.

  Yes, in this era, although it is said that men and women are equal,

But after a woman gets married, she always has to live with her parents-in-law.

In the future, my household registration will also be transferred to my parents-in-law’s household registration book.

  This means that Qin Huairu's family lost more than 40 yuan of salary every month.

The third uncle's family received a salary of more than 40 yuan.

Although the third uncle was a particularly stingy person, he also knew that he should make compensation.

Thinking of this, the third uncle smiled awkwardly and said, "No, what you said is correct, let's put it this way.

  How about our family offering a dowry of 20 yuan?

This amount of money is already quite a lot. If it were spent in the countryside, it would be enough to marry a virgin girl."

Qin Huairu snorted coldly and said, "Uncle, are you kidding me? You're giving 20 yuan to a beggar.

Let me tell you, our Xiaodang is not like those little country girls. She is a formal worker with knowledge and culture.

How about this

You should give our family 50 yuan as a betrothal gift now.

I agreed to their marriage."

  I have to say that Qin Huairu is very smart

The 50 yuan dowry he proposed was neither too much nor too little.

Although the third uncle felt the pain, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.

“I agree to the amount of money for Qinhuai Road, but I need to wait two days before giving it to you.

You know that our family has been going through a pretty stressful time recently.

I can’t afford that much money.”

  Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I won't force you. I will wait until you get the betrothal gift.

Our two families will discuss the next step." Just like that, the third uncle and Yan Jiefang left Qin Huairu's home.

While walking on the road, the son suddenly stopped, looked at the third uncle and said, "Could Qin Huairu be playing tricks on this matter?

Don’t let the time come when we give the betrothal gift to Qin Huairu and Qin Huairu won’t acknowledge it.

Then we lost 50 yuan in vain, right? "

  Hearing this, the third uncle nodded in appreciation and said, "Son, you seem to have grown up. You know that you should be on guard against others.

Do not worry.

How could an old man like me be fooled by a little girl like Qin Huairu?

By then, I will definitely make this matter known to all the residents in the compound.

Even if he wanted to regret it, he couldn't do it."

Yan Jiefang was very clear about the abilities of the Third Uncle, so he didn't say much.

On the other hand, after the third uncle left, Jia Zhangshi started to get angry with Qin Huairu.

  "Qin Huairu, are you stupid? We can obviously ask for a lot of money this time.

But why did you only ask for 50 yuan? Do you think our pawnshop is only worth 50 yuan?

Qin Huairu, I see that you, a woman, have no ability at all. "

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's face suddenly darkened. He waited for Jia Zhang and said, "Jia Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about?

Let me tell you, if you had dared to ask for one cent more just now, the third uncle would not have given you one cent of the betrothal gift.

  Of course, you don't have to worry too much. The amount just now is just the first amount.

When the time comes, all the uncle needs to do is give me the 50 yuan, and I will have a way to deal with him."

Jia Zhang frowned and said, "Qin Huairu, you have to think it over carefully. The old man, the Third Uncle, has been the manager of the compound for so many years. He is not an easy person to deal with.

If we are not careful, we might be tricked by the Third Master."

  Qin Huairu laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry if Jia Zhang is you. I have seen all kinds of people.

That's right, Uncle San has been a teacher for many years.

I have been the steward for so many years.

But his abilities are very different from mine.

Don't worry. This time I must have thought of a foolproof way to deal with the Third Master."

Jia Zhang wanted to say something at this time, but she was unwilling to do so.

Bang Geng stared at Jia Zhang and said, "Jia Zhang was just now.

Why didn't you show up when my mother asked for money?

it's good now.

The third uncle has already left, but you are still here complaining. Do you feel ashamed?"

  Jia Zhang is not afraid of anyone in this family, the only person she is afraid of is Bang Geng.

the reason is simple.

Banggeng is the heir of their family and will be the one to take care of Jia Zhang in the future. Jia Zhang is worried that if he annoys Banggeng, he will no longer pay attention to him, and then he will be in trouble.

Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng and said, "Bang Geng, I was just saying that. We are a family, and I am doing this for the good of our family."

How could there be any bad intentions?"

After saying this, Jia Zhang ran into the house quickly.

He wanted to use the gift that the third uncle had just given him.

There is a reason why Banggeng wants to help Qin Huairu speak.

Banggeng knows very well that Xiaodang is a very tough girl.

In this family, Xiaodang doesn't listen to anyone except Qin Huairu.

If he wants to get the betrothal money by then, he will need Qin Huairu to help him.

  The next day, the third uncle got up early in the morning.

He just wanted to take a walk in the park as he did in the past.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yi Zhonghai standing outside.

  "Yi Zhonghai, you're here so early, what's wrong?

Have you developed a habit of exercising now?"

I felt a little strange when I saw Uncle Yi Zhonghai.

The reason is very simple. Although Yi Zhonghai is a senior worker, he is very lazy in his daily life.

  Many workers in the compound have a hobby of exercising.

Except Yi Zhonghai

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Uncle San, you misunderstood. The reason I came to see you today is not to exercise with you.

I hope you can fulfill your promise and help me do something right now."

After hearing this, the third uncle finally realized that Yi Zhonghai was worried that he would not help him deal with Xu Damao.

"Don't worry, Yi Zhonghai. I am the boss after all. My words are trustworthy."

The third uncle felt that he was looked down upon by Yi Zhonghai, but he had no choice.

After all, now both Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang are watching them from the side.

If we don't help Yi Zhonghai at this time

Then it would be impossible for Yan Jiefang to marry Xiaodang.

Considering this problem, after finishing his breakfast, the third uncle walked all the way to the Siheyuan Street Office with his hands behind his back.

It was a coincidence that when the uncle walked to the door, he ran into Director Wang from the Street Office.

When Director Wang from the Street Office saw Uncle San coming so early, he immediately stopped and frowned and said, "Uncle San, you are in such a hurry. Did something big happen in your courtyard?"

The third uncle smiled and waved his hand and said, "Director Wang, you misunderstood. Everything is fine in our compound. I came to you today because I want to discuss something with you.

But this isn't the place to talk about things, if that's even possible.

I hope to come to your office so we can talk in detail."

Director Wang felt very strange when he heard this.

the reason is simple

Grassroots staff like them don't have so many rules to follow when discussing things on a daily basis.

In order not to waste time, sometimes things are discussed on the side of the road, but today the third uncle asked to go into the office.

But since the Third Uncle had made this request, Director Wang was too embarrassed to refuse him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then, follow me into the office now."

Director Wang from the Street Office led the third uncle into the office.

"Okay, Uncle Third, you can just tell me what you want to say. I'm very busy at work today. I don't have time to listen to your rambling."

Hearing what Director Wang said, the third uncle smiled awkwardly and said, "Director Wang, this is what happened. The reason I came here today is to report Xu Damao to you.

You may also know that since Xu Damao became the second uncle in our compound,

Although he appears to be doing a very good job and being very positive, he is actually a very arrogant person.

He often bullies the residents in the compound, making them angry but unable to speak out. "

  Hearing what the Third Uncle said, Director Wang of the Street Office immediately frowned and said, "Third Uncle, do you know what you are saying?

Xu Damao is now the boss

If you are talking nonsense, then you are falsely accusing Xu Damao. I hope you can understand. "

The third uncle was so frightened when he heard this that he shuddered and quickly raised his hand and said, "Director Wang, don't worry. Everything I said is true. There is no falsehood at all."
