Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 76 The young lady is very clever!

Everyone was very happy, and Qin's father and mother also felt relieved.

He started to joke with the young lady affectionately, asking her to take care of Qin Huairu in the future and make her more sensible...

No one paid any attention to the shy Qin Huairu, she blushed and lowered her head to chew the candy...

"Boom boom boom boom!"

…………

Zhang Kaiwu pretended to go back to get the money.

He ran to his home and smoked a cigarette to calm his excitement.

All the formalities have been completed.

Qin Huairu couldn't run away anymore, and finally fulfilled her wish!

There were six small yellow croakers and eighty-nine oceans in Zhang Kaiwu's storage space.

These things are very heavy, he can't just take them out of his trouser pocket all at once! ?
When he finished smoking a cigarette, his excitement calmed down...

The young lady is very clever!

…………

He walked to the young lady's house with a smile on his face and handed five dollars to Qin's mother with both hands.

Calling affectionately: "Mom!"

Mother Qin refused for a while, and the young lady of the Zhou family persuaded her: "It's getting late today, aunt, don't delay my sister's good fortune!"

Qin's mother took it with a smile, and without holding back, she handed it to Qin Huairu.

She said with emotion:

"Huai Ru! Our family's financial situation is not good, and we are sorry that you don't have a dowry. You can keep these as your own pocket money in the future."

"You should live a good life in the future, stop being lazy and have children with your brother Kaiwu soon..."

…………

Qin Huairu took it without hesitation, looked at the pattern on it carefully, and examined the five dollars curiously.

He mumbled in his mouth: "Brother Kaiwu! Is this the ocean? Is it made of silver? What does a small yellow croaker look like? Is it a fish made of gold?"

Zhang Kaiwu took out a small yellow croaker from his trouser pocket and handed it to her, saying:

"This is a small yellow croaker, just a small gold bar of one or two ounces, take it and play with it!"

He saw that Qin's father and mother were also looking at the small yellow croaker curiously, so he took out two more and put them on the table for them to see.

There is a pure look in their eyes.

He knew that Qin's father and mother were just curious and had never seen a small yellow croaker.

If Zhang Kaiwu were to give them small yellow croakers, it might scare them.

Qin Huairu won't marry him!
…………

Qin's father and mother may have been unwilling to let their daughter marry a rural man and suffer, and they hoped that she would live a happy and fulfilling life.

It would be a good thing if the daughter could get some financial support and benefit from the son-in-law.

It would be even better if they could help the family in times of crisis, but they don’t want to sell their daughter to get rich!
As a parent, sometimes the thoughts are really complicated!

Today’s society is so chaotic!
...............

This is the small yellow croaker! ?

Qin Huairu looked at the golden gold for a while and was extremely happy.

I put the small yellow croaker close to my mouth and prepared to take a bite to try.

I know she is just being curious!
Many people are like this. When they see gold, they want to take a bite to see if their teeth can bite it...

Zhang Kaiwu pinched her hand with a frown on his face and said, "Don't bite it. It's been touched by so many people, it's dirty!"

"The weight and color can tell the authenticity. If you're really curious, poke it with scissors."

"Or you can just throw it into the stove and burn it. Real gold is not afraid of fire."

Qin Huairu asked curiously: "Brother Kaiwu! How could such golden and beautiful gold be dirty!"

"It's a shame if a piece of the scissors is chipped. It's not beautiful. How can you throw gold into the fire? What if it gets burned? "

"I took it out to the sun and saw that it sparkled! The women in Peking made beautiful hairpins out of it."

"It would be great if I could have a golden hairpin in the future!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said, "Sister Huairu! That's not difficult. When I go to Beiping in the future, I will make you a golden hairpin when I have time."

Qin Huairu said in surprise: "Really? Brother Kaiwu, you are so nice!"

Qin Huairu ran out happily and went to look at the small yellow croakers under the sun in the yard.

…………

Hearing Qin Huairu asking for a gold hairpin even before she got married, Qin's parents looked embarrassed.

Zhang Kaiwu watched her run out happily and observe the gold under the sun...

Not afraid of heat! ?
Qin's father and mother looked at the small yellow croaker and satisfied their curiosity about it.

Mother Qin satisfied her curiosity and immediately handed it back, saying with a smile:

"So this is what the little yellow croaker looks like. Kaiwu, keep it well."

"Don't spoil Huairu too much in the future. Her personality needs to be controlled. You can't just give her everything she wants."

"She must do what she is supposed to do. She used to be lazy and slack off, so we cannot let her continue to do that in the future."

"Now that the marriage contract has been finalized, she is yours. Let her stay tonight. You can't just let her do whatever she wants and let her do whatever she wants."

"It's important to consummate the marriage as soon as possible. She will understand after having a child."

Under the table, Qin's father was stepped on again, and he also hurriedly persuaded awkwardly:
"Yes! Yes! Huairu keeps saying that we should go to Beiping City to celebrate the wedding. You don't have to pay attention to her nonsense."

"You're all going to live in Peking anyway, so don't indulge her temper."

"How can you take a woman home and not help her give birth to a child?!"

"If you don't like it, just hit me. Just don't hit me in the face and let others laugh at me!"

…………

Zhang Kaiwu pondered silently...

Are Mother Qin and the others driving or knocking themselves! ?

After thinking about it, it seems impossible!
Driving is not popular nowadays.

They are very generous in their words and deeds, and everyone is serious about having children.

If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It’s better to have a baby sooner rather than later.

Mother Qin meant that Qin Huairu was lazy and asked her to do something! ?

Or do you want Qin Huairu to give birth to a baby sooner?

Maybe Qin's mother and the others just want Zhang Kaiwu and Qin Huairu to consummate their marriage and have children sooner!
No matter what era it is, this is the truth: a mother is honored by her son!

To be honest, a wife or concubine without children is nothing!
…………

Of course he is willing to consummate the marriage today!
The formalities are complete, only a fool would obey Qin Huairu in everything.

Mother Qin is handing herself a knife!

A permit to fight! ?

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said, "Aunt! I got it. Let her stay here tonight to consummate the marriage."

"Today is also a festive day. I will prepare some food tonight. Let's all have a meal to celebrate!"

Just as Qin's father and mother were about to refuse, the young lady from the Zhou family smiled and said:

"Aunt! According to the rules, Kaiwu should also prepare some colorful silk, meat noodles and other things for you."

"You can't say that your daughter is getting married while you are still hungry! That's too undignified!"

"How about letting Kaiwu prepare something for you, like some meat and noodles, and you guys can set up two tables?"

Qin's father and mother quickly said awkwardly: "Forget it, let's do as you say and have dinner here tonight."

…………

Hahahaha!

The Zhou family lady's method is really effective, she has her own way of speaking and doing things!

Zhang Kaiwu pushed his bicycle, picked up two baskets, and prepared to go out to buy things.

Qin Huairu saw that he was going out to buy something, so she returned the small yellow croaker.

She handed another five dollars to Zhang Kaiwu and said with a smile:

"Brother Kaiwu! This is my private money, you must keep it safe for me, don't lose it."

"I have memorized the patterns on these five dollars."

…………

I rubbed her head speechlessly...

Zhang Kaiwu went out again, pretending to go shopping on his bicycle.

I came to the outside of the village and found a deserted place to stop and kill time.

Bored, he lit a cigarette and opened the contract letter from the young lady yesterday.

There were two pieces of paper inside, one of which was the young lady's simple marriage contract.

It says.

…………

Zhou Zhaodi signed the contract:
Zhou Zhaodi, the widow of Qinjiatun, had no children.

I am grateful to Zhang Kaiwu and willing to be his concubine. If the feng shui is good, this is destiny.

He ordered that all the items be sent to Zhang Kaiwu.

This is written as a witness. June 6, 1948.

Painting pressure: Zhou Zhaodi.

…………The second piece of paper is a land deed, the deed to the young lady’s house in Qinjiatun! ?
Zhang Kaiwu studied it slowly for a while, not quite understanding it.

After packing up the deeds, he began to prepare Qin Huairu's wedding things.

…………

When I returned to the village, there were two more baskets of things on the cart frame.

According to the standards of the young lady last time, it is exactly the same thing.

There was plenty of food and drinks, and no shortage of crispy candies and snacks.

Things like toothbrushes, towels, and quilt covers are also not lacking.

Passing by the tree where Qin Huairu's brother was watching the wheat, he handed her two Hardman cigarettes.

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"I have just discussed the marriage between Huairu and I with your parents and signed the contract."

"Your sister has just entered my house. From now on, she will call you brother-in-law! Bring your sister-in-law and the children over to have a drink with your sister."

Qin Huairu's two brothers said happily, "Okay! Okay! Brother-in-law! We'll ask someone to help watch the land, and they'll be here soon!"

"I'll ask your sister-in-law and the others to help right away. You and Huairu are finally getting married. Congratulations."

...............

Zhang Kaiwu said a few polite words and rode away on his bike.

Several people nearby asked curiously, "When did your sister reach an agreement with Kaiwu? Didn't she make up her mind to marry someone in Beiping?"

Brother Qin Huairu said with a smile:

"We have been discussing this for a long time. Huairu and Kaiwu have had a good relationship since they were young! Kaiwu is now living in Beiping, so doesn't this mean she is marrying into the city of Beiping?"

…………

Several people in the village said sourly:
"Qin Huairu is such a lazy girl, I didn't expect that lazy people are really blessed!"

"It's convenient because your two families live close to each other."

"Huai Ru is really getting married and living in Beiping City. How much money does Zhang Kaiwu have now? "

"He took two concubines in two consecutive days. When he asked someone to kill a tiger, he only wanted his own blood to exorcise the evil spirits for the young lady! He didn't even want a single hair of the tiger..."

"Yesterday afternoon he gave steamed buns to the children in the village! They were steamed buns!"

"If you have money, you can do it..."

"Qin Huairu's family will also benefit from this. Zhang Kaiwu is such a generous person..."

"If you drink alcohol and eat meat and steamed buns every day, you will eat up all the gold and silver mountains!"

"My daughter is far away, otherwise what would have happened to Huairu..."

…………

Hahahaha!

Just live close by?

Just the girls in your family! ?

Grinning.

He wouldn't even want Kaiwu if it was given to him for free.

You are dreaming!

One of Qin Huairu's brothers smiled awkwardly and said, "No way! No way! We brothers just followed them to enjoy a few good meals and drinks, and we are generous to the martial artists."

"My sister likes to play with him usually. They have had a good relationship since they were young. Kaiwu just can't make money. This is only a matter of time."

"Brother Sangui! Please help look after our wheat. I'll bring you two big steamed buns later..."

A group of people who were watching the wheat were all grinning. A few days ago, everyone was bragging. Qin Huairu's brother was still saying that it was wishful thinking for a toad to want to eat swan meat!

Now it’s just a matter of time! ?
Why say it so nicely?
Isn’t it just that Zhang Kaiwu got rich!
…………

Zhang Kaiwu returned to the young lady's house and took out various things.

Qin Huairu's four sisters-in-law have already arrived, calling them brother-in-law with a smile.

With the help of several sisters-in-law, we made eight large bowls according to yesterday's standards and steamed five large baskets of steamed buns.

Qin Huairu was burning the fire with a blushing face, under the careful guidance of Zhang Kaiwu.

My cooking skill has risen another ten points, to 58 points. It looks like if I work hard enough, I can get a job as a chef! ?
Several brothers ran to her house, packed up Qin Huairu's things and brought them over.

Send my sister out!
In fact, they were just a few pieces of clothes that Zhang Kaiwu bought for her.

Including the few tattered clothes she had, she only had a few clothes in total!
It is really sad for poor families to marry off their daughters nowadays.

There are all kinds of dowries!
When a girl gets married, she is given a bowl, a wooden basin, a towel as a dowry...

Some families really have nothing, so they give a laundry mallet as a dowry!

The same goes for those who get married. Qin Huairu's sisters-in-law have been married for many years, but they have never worn a piece of foreign cloth!
Nowadays, if you have a new set of clothes made of homespun cloth when you get married, it is considered a very respectable dowry.

By the time Qin Huairu had gotten all her clothes, she had completed all the marriage procedures.

Several sisters-in-law put Qin Huairu's clothes in the young lady's closet as a symbolic gesture of tidying up and cleaning.

He also put a new cotton sheet on the bed and sorted and bound a brand new cotton quilt.

The quilt cover is made of satin and the quilt lining is made of floral fabric.

Brand new cotton padding, soft like a cloud.

Thick printed cotton sheets are durable and beautiful, and will not tear no matter how much you step on them!

With a thin quilt, the four sisters-in-law each pulled a corner and sewed the quilt cover in a few seconds.

Neatly folded.

Another "囍" character was pasted on the door, side by side with the young lady's "囍" character, and another "囍" character was also pasted on the window.

There is one more than the young lady’s!
The bridal chamber is also decorated!
After the formalities were completed, Qin Huairu was considered to be married to Zhang Kaiwu, at least that's how all the Qin family members saw it.

Even though they were just two sets of clothes and a new quilt, the sisters-in-law looked at Qin Huairu's things with envy.

After sewing the quilt, they were still groping carefully.

Experience what a cotton quilt feels like.

The young lady took out a box of snacks with a smile and treated her sisters-in-law and others to some children's candies as a gift for making the quilt.

According to marriage customs, women who have given birth are asked to help sew quilts.

Pass on some joy.

Logically, the Qin family's little bastards should be forced to get off the bed.

pity!

This quilt cover is too expensive, no one dares to ask for it.

Qin Huairu sat on the kang shyly, twisting her new bedding unconsciously with her hands.

Today she is Kaiwu's second concubine! ?

A group of people returned to the kitchen and began serving dishes and preparing Qin Huairu's banquet.

...............

Today's banquet was even more lively than yesterday's. The happy Qin's mother, Qin's father, and Qin Huairu's brothers and sisters-in-law kept urging people to drink.

They were even more excited than Qin Huairu, as they were now officially relatives.

Qin Huairu and Zhang Kaiwu sat side by side and accepted everyone's blessings.

After drinking a bowl of light wine, Qin Huairu became radiant and charming...

She was no longer as sad as she was yesterday and was in a very good mood today.

She felt that the same wine tasted particularly good when she drank it today.

Not bitter or sour, the taste is pure, rich and sweet!
The dishes cooked by Zhang Kaiwu tasted especially delicious today!

She ate two fist-sized steamed buns made from old dough, and her stomach was full.

...............

Qin's father and mother wanted Qin Huairu to drink a bowl of light wine, but Zhang Kaiwu stopped them with a smile.

He saw that Qin Huairu's face was rosy and she was a little drunk. If she drank any more, she would probably pass out.

Just right!
Such an important moment in life.

It would be boring if the bride was drunk!
Don't spoil the mood by vomiting...

Mother Qin smiled. Since Zhang Kaiwu didn't want to get her daughter drunk, she didn't urge her to drink.

Qin's mother's idea was simple: get her drunk to stop her from complaining and let Qin Huairu consummate the marriage and have the baby as soon as possible.

Don't dither and make Qin's father and mother anxious!

Zhang Kaiwu felt sorry for Qin Huairu's health and protected her from drinking, and she was very happy too!

...............

The young lady from the Zhou family and several of Qin Huairu's sisters-in-law sat at a table nearby, eating and drinking with the children.

Several sisters-in-law smiled and whispered to the young lady of the Zhou family, asking her to take care of Qin Huairu at night.

Don't let Qin Huairu do anything stupid!
How can you get married without consummating the marriage? It's unlucky!

The young lady smiled and assured:
This is absolutely impossible!

Their table was even more lively than the main table...

The car was driving fast! When they were excited, they looked at Qin Huairu with ill intentions...

It was already past four o'clock and it was getting late.

Let's clean up together and ask the brothers and sisters-in-law to pack up the unfinished food.

Qin Huairu hugged Zhang Kaiwu's arm and gave them wedding candies and cakes with a smile.

She experienced the joy that the young lady had felt yesterday, the happiness of being blessed.

After Father Qin and the others left...
