NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 16
"Dad, is Uncle Qin’s daughter really Jia Dongxu’s girlfriend?"
"What are you talking about, you idiot Zhuzi? Didn’t you hear what your uncle Qin said? The two of them were just on a blind date and haven’t even come together yet. How did you become Jia Dongxu’s girlfriend?"
"That won't work. We're from the same courtyard. If my father Jia Dongxu's wife gets the chance, I don't know what others will say."
The young Sha Zhu was a little thin-skinned. After knowing that Jia Dongxu was dating Qin Huairu, he felt that his behavior of getting the chance was a bit immoral.
"Oh, let others talk about it as they please. I'll just tell you one thing. I've seen your uncle Qin's daughter. There's no girl prettier than her in the entire steel mill. If you don't want to, forget it."
"Is it really that beautiful?"
"Can your father still fool you? Just tell me whether you want it or not."
"Why don't you go meet her first?"
Between morality and marrying a wife, Sha Zhu finally chose the beautiful wife.
But he was not stupid. He did not agree directly, but was ready to meet her. If she was really as beautiful as his father said, let alone Jia Dongxu, even if the king of heaven came, he could not stop him from marrying her.
"OK, you go to the factory and ask for leave. When you come back, borrow a tricycle and go to the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the alley to buy two kilograms of Mickey Mouse candy, some roasted melon seeds, two boxes of vanishing cream, etc."
"We will send your uncle Qin back later, and we will take you to see how the Qin family's daughter is doing."
He Daqing said.
Qinjiazhuang is a rural village near the old city. In the future, it is in the northern fifth ring area, more than 20 miles away from Nanluoguxiang. It takes three hours to walk, and it takes only about an hour to ride a tricycle.
As for the tricycle, there are tricycles in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill. With He Yuzhu's identity as a chef in the kitchen canteen, it is easy to borrow one.
Finally, when going to Qinjiazhuang for a blind date, you must bring a gift.
For example, White Rabbit Milk Candy, don't even think about it.
Because White Rabbit Milk Candy was not produced until 1959, the candies on the market today are generally maltose, cowhide candy, peanut candy, and ABC Mickey Mouse Milk Candy.
This ABC Mickey Mouse Milk Candy is the predecessor of White Rabbit Milk Candy. It was made by Shanghai businessman Feng Boyong in 1943 based on the British imported milk candy represented by Yong'an Company, and its raw materials were studied and imitated.
He based it on the Mickey Mouse In the midst of the candy craze, he printed the Mickey Mouse design on the candy wrappers he produced and named it ABC Mickey Mouse Candy.
To be honest, this was only in the 1950s. If it were later generations, Disney would have sued him to bankruptcy.
Because Shanghai had already fallen at that time, all raw materials had to be imported, and Feng Boyong's ABC Candy Factory only had one production line.
This led to the high price of a piece of candy, which made many ordinary families sigh.
Let's put it this way, the Mickey Mouse candy in Feng Boyong's era was really unaffordable for ordinary people. The monthly salary of an ordinary family was two dollars, and a bag of candy would use up a quarter of an dollar.
Even in 1952, Mickey Mouse Candy was still a high-end candy in China, and it was expensive and not affordable for ordinary families.
So this time, He Daqing also spent a lot of money on the marriage of his cheap son.
"Mickey Mouse candy!"
When He Yuzhu heard about Mickey Mouse candy, he couldn't help drooling. He licked his face and stretched out his hand to ask for money, saying,"Well, Dad, why don't you buy another pound? Yushui has been craving for Mickey Mouse candy for a long time. How about you give me more money so that I can buy another pound for Yushui to try?"
Mickey Mouse candy is not cheap. One pound costs more than 30,000 yuan, and three pounds is 100,000 yuan, which is much more expensive than pork.
In addition, there are fried melon seeds, cold cream and so on.
He Yuzhu doesn't have enough money.
So he can only lick his face and ask He Daqing for money.
""Okay, it's rare that you still think about your sister, so I'll give you 300,000 yuan, so you can save some money."
He Daqing said, and took out six 50,000 yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to He Yuzhu. At the end, he did not forget to tell him:"Go and come back quickly, Yushui will finish school at five o'clock, and you have to come back to cook for your sister in the evening."
He Yushui is now just nine years old and is attending Red Star Primary School.
There is no need to pick up and drop off to school, because Red Star Primary School is in Nanluoguxiang, not far from the Siheyuan. Not to mention the nine-year-old He Yushui, even the five or six-year-old children who are in the Yuhong class are not so delicate that they need to be picked up and dropped off.
Even the cooking, the nine-year-old He Yushui can already do it by herself.
The reason why He Daqing wanted to come back early was because too many things happened in the compound today. When everyone got off work in the evening, there would definitely be a heated discussion.
If he came back late, he might let his daughter suffer.
"OK, I got it. You just stay at home and take care of Uncle Qin!"
He Yuzhu took the money and turned to leave. It was almost two o'clock now. If they didn't hurry up, it would be too late.
As for Qin Shouyi?
He was drunk now and was lying on the bed in the room.
He waited for his adopted son He Yuzhu to leave.
He Daqing breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had time to sort out his thoughts.
On the first day of the time travel, a lot of things happened.
First, he broke up with the White Widow, then met Qin Shouyi on the road, found that his house was robbed, went to the police station to report the case, met his adopted son He Yuzhu, the street office arrested Jia Zhang, explained the class background issue, the criticism and struggle meeting, and talked with Qin Shouyi drank to arrange the marriage, Yi Zhonghai and his disciples came to visit...
So many things happened in less than three hours.
He Daqing was always tense and didn't dare to relax.
Fortunately, all this has passed.
No one, including his adopted son He Yuzhu, noticed his abnormality.
Of course, it could also be that too many things happened during the day, and everyone's attention was diverted to Jia Zhang, so they didn't pay close attention to the changes in He Daqing's personality and behavior.
When the incident with Jia Zhang was over, this adventurous person would be... It is difficult to hide the changes in He Daqing from everyone in the courtyard.
Temperament, personality, way of speaking, way of dealing with the world, dressing, food preferences, etc.
These are not simply explained by the four words"sudden awakening".
In addition, during this period, there were not many other things in the city, but there were many enemy spies.
Once there was a big difference between his daily behavior and He Daqing, he might be reported and suspected that He Daqing had been replaced by someone, and the one left now was impersonated by the enemy spies. If this really happened, it would not be an ordinary trouble.
This is why He Daqing was so anxious to find a wife for his cheap son.
Because as long as He Yuzhu's marriage was solved, even if it was just an engagement.
He Daqing had a reason to move out of the courtyard.
In this way, after two years, even if someone in the courtyard saw He Daqing again and found that He Daqing had changed, they would think that it was normal because they hadn't seen him for too long.
Even his cheap son He Yuzhu would not think much about it.
This is the main reason why He Daqing was unwilling to go to Baoding with the White Widow, wanted to find a blind date for his cheap son, and was ready to move out of the courtyard as soon as possible................................
