As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was a little surprised.

Zhu Chunmei didn't know what Shen Qingru wanted to say to her.

Xu Xiuying didn't even know that her daughter-in-law would talk to Zhu Chunmei, whom she had just met.

Only Zhao Heping could guess a little bit.

After all, after Shen Qingru chatted with Che Shuqin, the misunderstanding was resolved.

I guess Shen Qingru wanted to ask Zhu Chunmei in person when she saw Zhu Chunmei, whom she had cared about before, right?

Just like telling Che Shuqin clearly.

So he said: "Sister-in-law, then you and Qingru can come to my room and have a chat."

As he spoke, he went over and opened the door to his room.

Give two people a separate space, and it's okay to ask if you have any questions.

In this way, after Shen Qingru marries him, she won't have any concerns about these things in her heart.

The couple lived their lives wholeheartedly and made preparations together in advance to deal with everything after the wind blows.

Zhu Chunmei was just stunned and understood what Shen Qingru wanted to say to her.

A forced smile appeared on his face and he agreed, "Okay."

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Heping and Shen Qingru, and stepped into Zhao Heping's room.

Shen Qingru then followed in.

The door was shut immediately.

Zhao Heping did not do anything wrong, so naturally he was not afraid of these two people making it clear to them face to face.

So I went to get the ingredients with confidence and prepared to make egg pimple soup.

Mixing the eggs with the dumplings will make the texture more chewy and delicious, and paired with green vegetables, it is indeed delicious.

In this era, pimple soup was a soup for poor people. It was not only simple and nutritious, but also saved food. Therefore, in this era, ordinary people often drank it.

Moreover, the hot soup is comfortable and warm to the stomach, which is suitable for such a cold winter.

Xu Xiuying was still confused. Seeing that her son was fine, she took out the eggs and prepared to cook.

So he couldn't bear it any longer, so he leaned close to his son and asked in a low voice: "Heping, what does your wife want to say when she comes to Chunmei?"

"Didn't they just meet? Is there anything you want to talk about alone?"

She didn't know what was going on, so she was vaguely worried.

Zhao Heping comforted him and said, "Mom, don't worry, it's okay."

"You should think more about my wedding now and find someone to watch the wedding date as soon as possible. When the time comes, remember to choose the earliest time."

"The Chinese New Year will be celebrated in just a few days."

"Wouldn't it be nice to let Qingru get married as soon as possible so that our family can celebrate the New Year lively together?"

Xu Xiuying was successfully changed the subject by her son, and nodded and said: "It's pretty good." |

"But getting married is a big deal, and you can't afford to be careless."

“Every aspect must be considered.”

"Although we are not allowed to make big fuss now and we have to save money on weddings, we still have to have the necessary things such as betrothal gifts and banquets."

"I have inquired about it a long time ago. Our house needs to prepare the "Four One Projects", which is a double bed, a hot water bottle, a washbasin, and a spittoon."

"The bride price is usually four yuan, and the betrothal gift is usually two pounds of candy."

It is still the early 60s, three years of natural disasters have just passed, supplies are scarce, food and clothing are a problem, and ordinary people have no ability to compete in this regard.

So what Xu Xiuying said is the standard condition for marriage in this era.

The familiar three-turn-one-ring sound of later generations, that is, watches, bicycles, sewing machines, and radios, would not become popular until the 70s.

At this time, everyone doesn’t have enough to eat or clothes to keep warm. Who dares to ask for those big items? Crazy?

Zhao Heping also knew this situation.

Just like what his mother said, it's already settled.

There are many people who have a big family and can't find a job. They can only do odd jobs and live a very tight life.

If a family like that wants to get married, they can't afford even a four-dollar gift, so most wedding gifts can only give two yuan.

"Mom, I know. You can tell Qingru about these things when she comes out later and ask her for her opinion."

The bride price still needs to be discussed with the woman.

This is how we respect each other.

Xu Xiuying nodded, and the man and woman who really wanted to get married discussed this matter.

However, Xu Xiuying became worried again when she mentioned her daughter-in-law.

"Heping, what did your wife and Chunmei do when they entered the house?"

She was really curious about this.

Zhao Heping couldn't explain anything, so he said, "Who knows? But Mom, I'm sure it will be fine. Don't worry."

After everything was explained clearly, all the clouds in the sky dispersed.

"Okay." Xu Xiuying didn't feel like asking further.

While her son was busy cooking, she had no choice but to stand aside and wait for the two of them to come out of the back room with full of suspicion.

However, Shen Qingru and Zhu Chunmei went in for a long time, but there was no sign of them coming out.

It wasn't until Zhao Heping made the pimple soup that the door of his room opened, and Shen Qingru and Zhu Chunmei walked out of the room.

Xu Xiuying walked up to them and looked them both up and down. Seeing that they were both in a calm state, Xu Xiuying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Worried, he asked, "How's it going? Is everything okay?"

Zhu Chunmei smiled, took a step forward and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine."

"My daughter-in-law, Heping, asked me about Heping's time before he became an educated youth. It was just idle chatter."

But having said that, her smile was still a little forced after all.

Xu Xiuying was a little confused, but it was hard to ask. After all, it seemed like everything was fine.

"That's okay, it'll be fine."

Zhu Chunmei didn't want to stay any longer, so she said, "Auntie, I will take Shuan Zhu home first."

"Heping and his wife are still hungry, so it's time to eat."

As he said this, he walked over, grabbed his son who was playing with a coal shovel, and turned around to leave.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Xu Xiuying asked as she was close to the door, then went over and opened the door.

Outside the door, stood Mr. Cao who was returning, with two orderlies, and the three of them were holding several antiques.

He had been here in the morning.

He also bought this antique from the cultural relics store and planned to give it to Old Huangtou.

But when he came, Old Huangtou had already left with Zhao Heping, so he didn't see anyone.

Xu Xiuying didn't tell him the truth either.

So Mr. Cao waited in Zhaojiakong all morning. When it was time to eat, he took the people away because he was afraid of causing trouble to Xu Xiuying.

Before leaving, she originally wanted to keep the antiques, but Xu Xiuying refused and insisted on letting him take them away.

Mr. Cao went back to finish his meal and then came back with others.

Today he made a special trip to thank Old Huangtou. He didn't expect anyone in the morning, so he thought they would be back in the afternoon.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a lot of people in the room.

However, Mr. Cao did not see the shadow of Old Huangtou, but there was a person who surprised him: "Qingru? Why are you here?"
