At the beginning of the quadrangle, I, He Daqing, approached Yi Zhonghai to collect debts

When the two of them arrived in the countryside, it was already noon. Fortunately, they ate late in the morning, so they didn't feel hungry yet.

The roads in the village were a bit difficult to walk, but Xu Damao often went to the countryside to show movies, so he didn't complain.

"Da Mao, this is my home..."

Carrying a lot of things, the two came to the front of the small courtyard with several dilapidated houses. Qin Jingru introduced it to Xu Damao with some embarrassment.

Xu Damao had already prepared for it. He married Qin Jingru, not her family, so he didn't care.

"What are you waiting for, go in quickly."

Seeing that Xu Damao didn't dislike his poor family, Qin Jingru heaved a sigh of relief, opened the courtyard door and shouted inside:

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Qin Laosan, who was eating in the house, heard the movement outside, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks and got up quickly.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Qin Jingru had already opened the door and walked in.

"Dad, Mom, this is my partner, Xu Damao, you two have dinner so early..."

Xu Damao hurried forward to say hello with the gift in hand.

"Hello, Uncle, Auntie. My name is Xu Damao. I work in the Red Star Rolling Mill and am a projectionist. This is a little bit of my heart."

Xu Damao handed over the gift while looking at the room and the food on the table.

Looking at the corn-bread pickles on the table, he understood Qin Jingru's thoughts.

Qin Laosan and his wife looked at the small bag of white noodles, a large piece of pork and two bottles of white wine in Xu Damao's hands, and their faces immediately burst into smiles.

"Da Mao, right? Sit down, haven't you had lunch yet? Jingru, help your mother get two meat dishes and bake some pancakes. Your husband and I have a good drink."

Qin Jingru was a little embarrassed when he heard his father call Xu Damao his man.

But both of them have the reality of husband and wife, and they will get the certificate soon, so there is nothing wrong with calling it that.

So he agreed, cleared away the corn-bread pickles on the table, and then went to cook.

Xu Damao had a sense of superiority in front of the Qin family. Seeing Qin Jingru go to work, he found a bench and sat down.

"Da Mao, how much do you earn a month in the factory? Do you eat white flour steamed buns every day in your city?"

Qin Lao San knew that Xu Damao worked in a steel rolling mill, and that his eldest brother's son-in-law also worked in a steel rolling mill. He heard that he could earn more than 30 yuan a month, and his son-in-law could not be less than his.

"It's only a few tens of dollars a month, a little more than Jia Dongxu, but my job is easy, and playing movies is not a physical job."

Xu Damao saw through the old man's small thoughts at a glance, but he didn't reveal his old background, otherwise he couldn't accept being targeted by this family to suck blood.

Qin Lao San heard Xu Damao say this, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

This son-in-law is not only from the city, he has a good job and earns a lot of money. Who will dare to look down on him in the future.

"That's a good thing, our family, Jingru, is enjoying life."

Qin Jingru and her mother cooked pancakes and vegetables. It didn't take long for the meals to be ready.

The four of them sat around the table, Qin Laosan smelled the delicious pork fried cabbage and pancakes, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva since he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Qin Jingru was a little embarrassed, but Xu Damao didn't care, picked up a bottle of Moutai, opened it, and poured a glass for the old man.

"Uncle, I'll toast you, I've done it, you can do whatever you want."

Xu Damao usually hangs out with the boss, so he can drink a lot. After drinking a glass of wine, his face doesn't change at all.

Although Qin Laosan loves to drink, he is short of money, so he usually buys some loose wine if he is greedy, and he can deal with two or two with pickles.

Today, drinking Moutai, eating meat and vegetables, and pancakes with pure white noodles, Qin Laosan's sense of happiness is overwhelming.

After taking a sip of the wine, he felt that it was much better than the loose wine he made, and then he took a piece of fat and oily pork and chewed it in his mouth.

"Well, Da Mao, this wine is not bad, and the meat is quite fragrant. You have a heart."

Qin Laosan looked at Xu Damao more and more pleasing to his eyes.

"It's nothing, I'll get a few more bottles next time after the good wine is finished, as long as you two are happy, Jingru, our business..."

When Qin Jingru heard what Xu Damao said, she also remembered today's business, so she quickly put down her chopsticks and said:

"Dad, Mom, Da Mao and I plan to get the certificate in a couple of days. As for the wedding, we will do it in two days!"

After hearing Qin Jingru's words, Qin Laosan and his wife opened their mouths wide in surprise.

"What? Jingru, are you confused? Didn't you just go to the city yesterday?"

Qin's mother couldn't believe that this little girl didn't discuss with her family about such a big matter as marriage, so it was settled so quickly?
Qin Laosan also felt that the meat in his mouth was not fragrant.

"Jingru, isn't this a bit sloppy? After all, we haven't met our in-laws before."

It had long been expected that the two of them would be surprised, but Qin Jingru, who had planned for a long time, said calmly:

"Dad, Mom, the matchmakers are my sister Huairu and her mother-in-law. As for Da Mao's parents, my sister's mother-in-law knows the Xu family well. I came back only after discussing it, and Da Mao has already opened the door." I got the letter of introduction, and I will open the letter of introduction when I go to the village later, and we will get the certificate tomorrow!"

If it wasn't for the rush in the afternoon, Qin Jingru could not wait to get the certificate in the afternoon.

"Although we don't need to negotiate the price now, we still need to have a dowry, right? And we didn't even buy a dowry."

Qin Laosan still felt a little too fast.

If you are getting married in the village, first look at the family conditions of the man. The bride price can be ten yuan or dozens of yuan. The woman will marry some small items such as bedding, washbasin, and kettle, while the man will prepare furniture and other necessary items.

As for the three big pieces or three rings and one turn, the current economic conditions are not good, and they have not become popular yet.

Hearing what the old man said, Xu Damao quickly explained with a smile:

"Uncle, it's a new society, and we don't like that. As for the bride price, we will bring it back when we get the certificate and we have the wedding. Since Jingru is married to our Xu family, we can't wrong her. How about that?" , the Xu family will give you 100 yuan as a bride price! Don’t forget about the dowry or something, anyway, I will arrange new ones for everything in my family.”

Xu Damao has been working for several years by himself. He usually eats and drinks with the leader, and has no expenses, so he has saved a lot of money.

Moreover, Xu Hainong also had some savings, so Xu Damao naturally had the confidence to speak.

When Qin Laosan heard that the bride price was 100 yuan and no dowry was required, he was overjoyed and thought that the people in the city were rich, no, Xu Damao's family was rich!
So the old couple looked at each other and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Since the two of you agree with each other, we, the elders, can't stop us. It's settled. Hurry up and eat. After dinner, I'll write a letter of introduction to Jingru."

Seeing how the old man changed so quickly, Xu Damao showed a smug smile on his face.
