Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 229 Determining the next wedding date

After finishing the formalities, Chu Xiangqian pulled Xu Guiju and Lao Duan out of the office, and stood under the window at the end of the corridor.

He whispered, "Aunt Xu, Brother Duan, you should know something about my daughter-in-law. Now that I am on a mission, I often have to go on business trips with the leader.

Therefore, whenever I come back from a business trip, I will go to the mountains.One is to take care of the old unit, and the other is to get married soon, and without earning some money, it is not easy to raise children and honor the old man's family.

As for us, it is still the same as before. How about I bring big fish and game over and adjust some useful things from the street? "

Xu Guiju didn't know that between Chu Xiangqian and Lao Duan, they tacitly used the money from the small treasury in the street to buy the game and big fish that Chu Xiangqian got.

But Chu Xiangqian knew very well that if he didn't reveal something to Xu Guiju, she might not accept the game he gave.

When she accepts it, it means that there are small secrets between each other being held by others, and it will be easier to establish a relationship.

And the relationship will be very strong.

Besides, even if Xu Guiju wanted to deal with herself, she didn't dare to make a fuss about the exchange of wild game on the street.

Otherwise, she would offend Lao Duan, Director Cao, Duan Hongmei, everyone in the street, and even the Xue family.

So, Chu Xiangqian wasn't worried about any troubles if Xu Guiju found out about this.

Lao Duan frowned at first, but after thinking about it, when he looked at Xu Guiju, he saw her nodding to him with a smile, and he immediately understood.

He said to Chu Xiangqian, "Okay, follow the previous rules. However, I will not hand over the purchase of 100 yuan to those two boys, Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian."

Chu Xiangqian nodded hurriedly, "Even if you want to hand it over to them, I don't feel at ease. Why don't you?"

Speaking of this, Chu Xiangqian's eyes have already turned to Xu Guiju.

Old Duan's eyes lit up, and he explained to Xu Guiju in a low voice with a smile.

After hearing this, Xu Guiju felt relieved. 100 yuan per month for unplanned purchases is a lot for an individual, but it is very little for a unit.

Now a catty of meat costs 2 yuan, but 50 catties of meat is not enough to feed more than 20 people on the street for a few days.

If it were replaced by a big fish, it would only weigh 250 catties.

Distributed to 26 people, less than 10 catties a month, only 3 taels a day.

But these three fish are enough to satisfy everyone on the street.

Xu Guiju knew that if she didn't agree, she would be guarded by Chu Xiangqian, Duan Jidong, Xue Hongmei, and even the director.

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, "In the evening, I will send 200 catties of dried fish and a [-] to [-] catties of dried and processed dried wolf meat. I will treat that wild wolf as a real wolf. Thank you Aunt Xu and Brother Duan for your support in the future." My daughter-in-law's care."

Duan Jidong and Xu Guiju smiled, and Xu Guiju even patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, your wife will be my niece from now on. If anyone bullies her, I will immediately go to the district to file a complaint."

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly thanked him, and he knew in his heart that after ordinary colleagues knew that Xue Jinglan was Xue Hongmei's niece and Chu Xiangqian's wife, no one would foolishly seek trouble with Xue Jinglan.

Those who dare to make trouble, naturally have roots.

But Xu Guiju went to the district to file a complaint, and the custody would make the other party feel overwhelmed.

When the storm comes in a few years, Xu Guiju, a propaganda cadre, may have to rise up.

Having a good relationship with her will make many things easier in the future.

After discussing the business, Xu Guiju followed him to the office of the Public Security University on the first floor when Chu Xiangqian said that he was going to find Xue Hongmei to talk about the past.

When Xue Hongmei heard that Chu Xiangqian had settled Lan Lan's work, she quickly pretended to be dissatisfied, and said to Chu Xiangqian angrily, "Xiao Chu, are you not giving me a chance to show my aunt?"

Chu Xiangqian waved his hand hurriedly, "It's not that Aunt Xu sees that you have a lot of things to do, so she wants you to find someone to share some chores with you!"

Xu Guiju laughed, secretly thinking that Chu Xiangqian is good at being a human being, and it is obvious that he contributed, but he gave the credit to himself. No wonder everyone in the street likes him.

After chatting for a long time, Chen Huaili, who heard the voice, came out of his office, saw that it was Chu Xiangqian, and shook hands with Chu Xiangqian with a smile pretending to be an old friend reunion.

Then he took the opportunity to call him into his office and gave him an envelope.

Looking forward, Chu knew that it must contain money, so he took it without thinking for a few seconds, and put it in his pocket casually.
-
In the evening, Chu Xiangqian and Xue Hongmei came to Xue's house for dinner. When the family heard that Chu Xiangqian had settled Xue Jinglan's work, they couldn't help joking about them.

Chu Xiangqian didn't panic at all, but Xue Jinglan lowered her head to pick up the rice with a flushed face, but her heart was very sweet.

It's just that when he thought that Chu Xiangqian had to leave tomorrow, he suddenly felt bad again.

When the two of them went for a walk in the evening, Chu Xiangqian found a place where no one was around as usual. While bullying the little girl, Xue Jinglan drowsily put her arms around Chu Qianqian's neck and murmured, "Brother Qianqian, you want it." Me!"

Chu Xiangqian, who was holding the two mountain peaks, was taken aback for a moment, and then Xue Jinglan continued, "I want to give birth to a child for you. When you are away from me on a business trip, I will take good care of our child."

What he said was sincere, Chu Xiangqian let go of the two mountain peaks, and hugged Xue Jinglan tightly, "Be good and wait for me to come back, we will get married, have three or five children at that time, and take care of the hair that made you be troubled by the children big."

Xue Jinglan pouted and patted Chu Xiangqian a few times, "My children must be good babies. Not only will they not trouble me, but they will also help me take care of my younger brothers and sisters."

Seeing Xue Jinglan's attention being diverted, Chu Xiangqian immediately fooled her about how difficult it is to raise a child.

This made Xue Jinglan feel a little worried, but within a few seconds, the girl snorted, "Then I will only take care of the children's lives from now on, and you, the father, will be responsible for educating them."

Chu Xiangqian laughed, "Okay, okay, then I will be in charge of beating the children, and you, the mother, will be in charge of pampering them."

Xue Jinglan was dissatisfied and slapped Chu Xiangqian on the shoulder a few times, then asked with a frown, "What if the baby is a daughter?"

"I actually like daughters more." Chu Xiangqian was not lying. He is a modern-minded person who doesn't care whether he is a son or a daughter.

And these days, they are encouraged to have more children. After more than ten or twenty years, it is normal to have seven or eight children.

I can't be like Hong Zhennan, who was so unlucky that he gave birth to six daughters, and he didn't get a baby son until he was in his 50s.

On the contrary, families with only one or two children are outliers.

Xue Jinglan thought that Chu Xiangqian was just comforting herself, so she put her pretty face on Chu Xiangqian's chest and muttered, "I will definitely have several sons, and if you bully me, I will ask my sons to help me."

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes. Could it be that a few boys dare to beat his father?
The two whispered until late at night, and then reluctantly returned to Xue's house.

But when they reached the door, Xue Jinglan took Chu Xiangqian's hand, "Brother Xiangqian, how about I go and pack your luggage for you tomorrow morning?"

Chu Xiangqian wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Then I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

"No, no," Xue Jinglan said with a smile, "the last time I had dinner with Aiyuan, she told me that you live in Nanluoguxiang. Tomorrow morning, I will go there by bicycle and buy some fried dough sticks and buns for Aiyuan, Aiguo and Aimin For breakfast."

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that the little girl felt that her sister-in-law had to learn how to take care of her sister-in-law and uncle.

After kissing Xue Jinglan, he used his pockets to cover up, and took out a stack of 10 yuan each and a dozen 5-jin food coupons from the storage space.

Xue Jinglan said in surprise eyes, "When I'm not at home, you can go to Aiyuan to play if you have nothing to do. You may also ask Aiyuan, Aiguo, and Aimin to go out for dinner.

Also, when it comes to festivals, you represent me and send something to my second and third uncles, as well as your grandparents, parents, aunts, and younger uncles.

Also, you and Ai Yuan go to collect my monthly rations.

If there is not enough at home or with my second uncle and third uncle, you can bring it back or let Aiguo and Aimin send it back to the forest farm.

However, don't go by yourself with the things that were given to my second and third uncles, so as not to be unsafe, you know? "

Only then did Xue Jinglan happily take the money and tickets, counting them randomly, there were actually 24 pieces of money, which was 240 yuan.

As for food stamps, there are also 85 catties.

He asked with a puzzled expression on his face, "Brother Qiang, do you always carry this kind of money and food stamps with you? Or are these money and food stamps used by you when you go on a business trip?"

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly said, "I wanted to hand over the money to you, but I couldn't find a suitable reason before. Since you, a little girl, want to have a baby for me.

The family's money and tickets are naturally handed over to you, the mother. "

Xue Jinglan's face turned red, and she twisted around in Chu Qianqian's arms embarrassedly, but in her heart she carefully put the money and tickets into her pocket as if she had drunk honey.

The two got bored for a while, until the lights at home were turned off, and Xue Jinglan realized that it was very late.

He opened the door cautiously and saw that there was no one on the first floor. He turned around and hugged Chu Qianqian's neck and kissed him for a while before reluctantly sending Chu Qianqian out.

As for pulling him into her room, no matter how courageous Xue Jinglan was, she couldn't do it.

After a night of nothing, Chu Xiangqian woke up early the next morning, went to Xinshou Village as usual, and wiped out all the spawned wild monsters.

Get up and go out to practice boxing, and when Aiyuan wakes up, tell her to cook some millet porridge and Xue Jinglan will come back in the morning.

Aiyuan's face brightened, "Brother, does this mean that you and sister-in-law are really determined."

Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "I have made an agreement with your sister-in-law's parents to get a marriage certificate after her 18th birthday. The treat day is also scheduled for the seventh day of the tenth lunar month this year."

Aiyuan was overjoyed, and hurried to the backyard to wake up Aiguo and Aimin to dress up well, so as not to leave a bad impression in front of his future sister-in-law.

However, after all, Ai Yuan is more sensible than the average peers. Although he was so happy that he wanted to scream, he repeatedly told him not to show his patriotism and love for the people.

He even rolled his eyes and told Ai Guo Ai Min to sit down and cook millet porridge, while he changed into clean clothes and ran to the alley to wait for Xue Jinglan.

If Xue Jinglan came early, I would drag her around the neighborhood, wait until most of the people who went to work had left, and then take her to the courtyard.

To prevent any young man with no eyesight from pestering his future sister-in-law.

If Chu Xiangqian knew what his sister was thinking, he would definitely laugh and scold him.

He and Xue Jinglan are just one step away from each other. Now that they are like this, there is no need to worry about any young man or lady competing with him for his wife.

Chu Xiangqian practiced boxing in the front yard for more than 20 minutes, but he didn't see Aiyuan bringing Xue Jinglan back, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.

The chickadee immediately followed the instructions and flew out of the courtyard. Ten seconds later, Chu Xiangqian looked out at the chickpee and saw Aiyuan pulling Xue Jinglan to stay on Di'anmen East Street, drinking soy milk at a table outside a breakfast shop.

While eating, the two of them were still muttering, not knowing what they were talking about.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, as soon as he thought about it, he knew it must be Aiyuan who didn't know what the hell was up to.

But the better the aunt and sister-in-law get along, the better it is for me.

"Brother, how long will it take for sister-in-law to come over? How about I go to Brother Zhuzi and ask him to ask Aimin and me for leave?"

Chu Xiangqian didn't tell Aiguo and Aimin about Chu Xiangqian's departure today, nor did anyone else in the yard know.

Even Qin Huairu and Lou Xiaoe don't know when he will leave.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, "Okay, you talk to Zhuzi."

Not long after, Sha Zhu ran over and asked, "Qianqian, Director Xie said that he would like to invite you to the factory for dinner tonight, do you have any rice?"

Chu Xiangqian knew it had something to do with wild game as soon as he heard it. He shook his head and said, "I don't need to eat. I have something to do these days. But if he wants wild game, I'll get some back in the morning and let Aiguo and Aimin take it to the factory.

The money was also brought back by the two of them.

However, this matter has to be kept secret, you can find the reason yourself.

In case the three uncles and the people in the yard think that I don't help them.

If next time I come back and hear gossip in the yard, don't try to get anything from me next time. "

Silly Zhu was overjoyed, quickly agreed, and then asked in a low voice with a smile, "How much meat can you get?"

"Are two boars and two wolves enough?"

"Really?" Silly Zhu almost jumped up happily, "Enough, enough, I'll report the good news to Director Xie right now."

Chu Xiangqian ignored him, and when Sha Zhu left, he ordered Aiguo and Aimin to call Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang to the East Wing.

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang also knew that Chu Xiangqian could get pheasants and hares, but these few days passed, and no news spread to the yard.

Chu Xiangqian's trust in the two of them couldn't help but increase a lot.

After a while, the four boys entered the house, and Chu Xiangqian ordered, "After I go out to finish my business in the morning, you wait for me at the old locust tree by the Yu River."

The four of them nodded hurriedly, Chu Xiangqian saw Liu Guangtian's hair like a chicken coop, and cursed with a smile, "Go back and wash up, and then dress neatly, lest my future daughter-in-law see you and think that everyone under my command is decent. "

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang were taken aback for a few seconds before they came back to their senses, and asked pleasantly, "Brother, are you looking for a wife?"

Chu Xiangqian scolded angrily, "Fuck off, isn't it normal for me to find a wife, go back and wash right now.

Also, don't tell anyone about this, lest you scare your sister-in-law. "

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang nodded their heads in a hurry, and while happily running home to wash up, they were still thinking, should they take out the new clothes from last year's Chinese New Year?

Half an hour later, most of the people who were supposed to go to work had left, and Aiyuan and Xue Jinglan, who was pushing a bicycle, entered the courtyard.

The aunts and ladies in the yard, and because they are Aiyuan's colleagues, just admired the girl's beauty in their hearts.

That figure is not bad either.

He is a little taller, and although his butt is not too big, his chest is very tall.

One look and you know it's a good breed.

The third mother almost wanted to ask Aiyuan if this girl had a husband's family so that she could introduce her eldest son, Yan Jiecheng.

Fortunately, Yan Jiefang had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he grabbed his own mother.

Otherwise, just thinking about Chu Xiangqian's anger would make Yan Jiefang tremble in his heart.

"Mom, don't make any trouble, the girl is so beautiful, and she wears a watch, so the bicycle belongs to her too.

It's strange to see my brother.

Besides, this girl is Miss Aiyuan, and she intends to introduce her to Brother Xiangqian.

If you annoy him, not to mention my brother getting more and more unlucky, even my dad will have to take the initiative to come to the door to admit his mistakes. "

The third mother was startled, and then secretly thanked the second son for holding her back.

Then he sighed again, "Why do the young masters of the Chu family get all the good things!"

Yan Jiefang hurriedly took the three mothers home, seeing that Chu Xiangqian didn't intend to trade wild game with the street by himself, but borrowed the hands of himself and Liu Guangtian.

This is a great thing for himself and Guangtian.

Maybe it won't be long before they can change from temporary workers to apprentices with a staff.

At that time, they will be serious workers, and their wages will increase from 10 yuan to 18 yuan.

Anyone who made Chu Xiangqian unhappy at this time would be Yan Jiefang's enemy.

Seeing that Yan Jiefang threatened that if he caused trouble, then the future salary would not be handed over to the family, and the third mother immediately succumbed.

When Yan Jiefang got out of the house and came to the east wing, he saw Xue Jinglan handing over a pair of leather shoes to Aiguo.

Le's patriotic mouth was crooked, and he kept saying, "Thank you sister-in-law, thank you sister-in-law."

Xue Jinglan's face was slightly red, but she was very happy in her heart. She secretly said that the three younger sisters and brothers of Brother Qianqian were not only directors, but also kind and obedient.

Afterwards, another pair of sneakers was given to Aimin, and the happy Aimin also hurriedly called his sister-in-law.

When Xue Jinglan put her eyes on Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang, she couldn't help showing a embarrassed expression, and then looked at Chu Xiangqian.

Aiyuan put her arms around Xue Jinglan's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about these two boys. Besides, my brother didn't mention them to you beforehand, so naturally he didn't have any gifts from them."

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang thought it was a pity in their hearts, but they echoed it repeatedly.

Chu Xiangqian, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "Today your sister-in-law will go to the street to report and work in the archives department.

The two of you should be more diligent in the future, moving things, cleaning the office of the University of Public Security Science and Technology, getting hot water and so on, I will leave it to you, you know? "

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang were overjoyed, they patted their chests and promised to take good care of Xue Jinglan.

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes, "Okay, go to the inverted room for breakfast. Your sister-in-law and Aiyuan bought a lot of deep-fried dough sticks, steamed buns and soy milk."

The patriotic four couldn't help but swallowed their saliva, and hurriedly went to the sitting room.

Chu Xiangqian got up and said, "It's enough for you sisters-in-law to pack some coats for me, and I will send out other things when I am on a business trip.

By the way, Aiyuan, I will give your sister-in-law a key from me later, so that she will not come to look for you that day, but you are not off work and waiting in the yard. "

Aiyuan said yes, but in her heart she felt that her eldest brother would be snatched away.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian's authority in her heart was great enough, and after thinking about contacting Xue Jinglan twice, she felt that she was easy to talk to, and she didn't look down on her sister-in-law as a country girl from the mountains.

Immediately felt that it was the best choice for elder brother to marry her.

Smiling, she hugged Xue Jinglan's arm again, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you to my brother's house first, you clean up first, and I'll get you the key."

Xue Jinglan's face turned redder, but she walked into the back room with Aiyuan without slowing down.

Looking around, he saw that the inside of the room was as clean and tidy as the living room outside, and his mood immediately became more comfortable.

He secretly said that brother Xiangqian was indeed as he said, he was careful and clean.

When Chu Xiangqian told his wife-to-be and cousin to clean up the salute and house for him, he told them to go out.

He also called out Aiguo and other four people and told them to go to Yuhe to wait.

He rode his bicycle and went out for a walk, found a place where no one was around, took out two bamboo baskets, and first filled them with 200 catties of dried fish and a wolf meat that had been dried and cut into four pieces.

While riding his bicycle towards the Yuhe River, he called the street and the logistics of the rolling mill from a public phone booth.

Have them send a cart back to pull stuff.

Xie Zhende had just heard about the game from Sha Zhu, and when he received a call from Chu Xiangqian, he said that he would follow the car to pick up the goods himself.

The same is true for Duan Jidong, but the only jeep on the street has been requisitioned by Director Cao all the year round, and it is basically in the district.

I can only call someone and ride two bicycles to the Yuhe side.

Chu Xiangqian went to Yuhe and handed over two baskets to Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang.

Then I went around again, took two bamboo baskets filled with dried wild boar and wolf meat that had been decomposed and processed, and returned to the old locust tree again, and handed them over to the patriotism and the people.

"You guys will follow back to the unit in a while. After you get the money, you will hand it over to your sister-in-law for safekeeping. Do you understand?"

There is nothing wrong with being patriotic and loving the people. Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang hesitated for a few seconds, but still did not dare to say 'no'.

At the same time, the two also realized that Chu Xiangqian really liked Xue Jinglan.

"By the way, let the old man deal with the dry wolf. Don't ask, don't talk too much, do you hear me?"

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang knew there was something tricky in it as soon as they heard it, but they dare not talk too much, let alone as long as they don't enter the accounts of the street, the problem is not big.

Chu Xiangqian thought that it would be all right, but when he took Xue Jinglan, who helped him tidy up and salute, to the street to report, Xue Jinglan, who will officially go to work tomorrow, entered the street, but was held back by Duan Jidong.

"Moving forward, 200 catties of dried fish is good, but if you go on a business trip for two months, it won't be enough. Besides, the street is your old unit, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's your mother's home.

You gave the rolling mill a full two, 460 catties of wild boar and more than 200 catties of dried wolf meat, but only gave us 200 catties of dried fish, which is a bit too much! "
