Chapter 425 Three Turns and One Ring
When Zhu Xuefeng returned home, he had just heard his second son tell him about Qin Huairu's visit when someone came to the door.
"Brother, I knew you would be back soon. No, I will bring Sister Qin to find you."
Today is Saturday. The steel rolling mill usually does not work overtime on Saturday nights. , today it is Lao Zhu’s turn to fire, Zhu Xuefeng will definitely come back on time.
Zhu Xuefeng was preparing to put away the dishes. He was a little surprised to see someone come to the door before dinner. Looking at his slightly surprised face, Shazhu also knew that this was not done properly. He was really early and usually had something to do. The people who came to ask for help came after dinner. This was because he was familiar with Lao Zhu's family. In addition, he was in a good mood today, so he couldn't help but drag Qin Huairu, who had just got off work, to come.
"Brother, Sister Qin has something to ask you for help. You talk to her. Leave today's food to me. What do you want to eat? Just say something. The rain has just arrived home. I'll be here soon."
Seeing that Sha Zhu was so shameless and brought people home, Zhu Xuefeng lost his temper and had to take off his apron and throw it to Sha Zhu.
"Come on, Chef He. We have brought out all the things. Waiter, you two can help Brother Zhuzi."
"Okay." The two of them responded, Without even looking at Qin Huairu, she followed Shazhu into the kitchen.
Zhu Xuefeng glanced at Qin Huairu who was standing at the door with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Come in and sit down. My second brother just finished telling me that this matter of yours is really not easy to deal with. I heard that the feed factory is now in charge of Xiao Xu from the street office. He and I are not familiar with each other, and we have barely spoken to each other. "
Qin Huairu has not faced Zhu Xuefeng alone for a long time, and feels very oppressed. Now when Zhu Xuefeng refuses, he can't say anything for a while. He is restless and doesn't want to leave. I'm reluctant, but I don't know what to say if I don't leave.
It is true that Zhu Xuefeng and Xiao Xu are not familiar with each other. I just heard that he is negotiating with a female section chief named Zhu from the street office. She is a very shrewd person. I don’t know anything else.
Seeing that Qin Huairu was neither walking nor talking, an idea suddenly came to him.
"Sister Qin, I told you that the matter between our two families is over, so don't be so uncomfortable. However, it is still inappropriate for you to do things today. You don't even bring people here when you are looking for work. , Let’s just ask about the situation first, and then you call her over, and I’ll ask her what she thinks.”
Qin Huairu felt relieved after hearing what Zhu Xuefeng said, and she seemed to have settled down. There is slowness.
“Brother, if you have anything to do, just ask me. I am a woman who has never seen much of the world. I don’t understand some things. I came here to cause trouble for you without thinking. I’m not considerate. Please forgive me. Brother, don’t mind.”
“You remember that during the downsizing last year, we checked the residents in this street and mobilized everyone to go to the countryside. How did she come to the city? Isn’t she afraid of being sent back?”
Last year’s downsizing was a nightmare. When asked this question, Qin Huairu quickly answered.
"In our hometown, big brother should also know that there is only a small amount of land. The laborers in the village don't have much land to farm. They are all looking for something to do in the mountains. This year, there are mountainous openings everywhere. The land, but we are here to protect something, but they won't get out of the way. There is nothing for a little girl to do at home. We can't let her eat at home. Why don't we go to the city to see if we can find a way to survive? .”
In order to completely solve the stomach problem, a large-scale mountaineering campaign was launched in the suburbs of Beijing this year to clean up wild beasts in the mountains and increase the area of cultivated land as much as possible. Unfortunately, the effect was mediocre. Our ancestors have tried it for thousands of years. The hills in the suburbs contain a lot of stones. , there are very few places that can be cultivated, and it is impossible to turn hills into terraces like some places.
In addition, some protective measures have been introduced. The hills in the suburbs have indeed not changed much. But Zhu Xuefeng does not believe that there is nothing to do in the village. In order to fill their stomachs, it is impossible for anyone to be idle. , Besides, relying on the mountain, as long as you look for it, you will always get something. Qin Huairu said it vaguely, and Zhu Xuefeng didn't bother to ask more.
"Let's do this, call your sister, and I'll ask again."
Qin Huairu went out uneasily, and made up a paragraph of his own, not knowing whether Xiao Zhuxiang believed it or not. , I have to tell my sister.
After a while, the two sisters came. Banggeng took Xiaodang outside to peek. Qin Huairu signaled several times before Banggeng reluctantly took Xiaodang home.
It was the first time for Qin Jingru to interact with Zhu Xuefeng. Her face was flushed. She seemed to have a good time at her sister's house. She was not timid or shy when she entered the door. She followed Qin Huairu and looked around. She was really a little smart. Far unlike ordinary village children, they are always cautious and seem a bit dull after entering the city.
"You are Qin Jingru, how old are you? I mean one year old."
The little girl has some aura, but she doesn't look like she is sixteen, and Zhu Xuefeng cannot remember the relevant information.
"I, I, have just turned fifteen."
As soon as Qin Huairu asked her age, she realized that she might be bad. In the city, people under sixteen are generally not recruited, unlike in the village. , no matter how old you are, go to the ground when you need to.
Zhu Xuefeng looked at Qin Huairu helplessly, "Sister Qin, there is no need to ask anything else. You can't pass the first test at this age. You are only fifteen. No unit will accept you."
"I, I am sixteen years old." "Qin Jingru added unconvinced.
Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile, "My employer asked me how old I am. It doesn't matter how old I am. By the way, why do you want to go to the feed factory? That's what you like to do. You can do anything."< br>
Qin Jingru blushed, "I can do everything, wash clothes, cook, sew quilts, darn socks, weed pigs, cut weeds, cook pig food, feed chickens, dig wild vegetables, remove corn..." "
Qin Jingru counted on her fingers, and soon her two hands were not enough. Qin Huairu looked helplessly at the silly sister, and Zhu Xuefeng also smiled.
"Okay, okay, I get it. You are very capable and can do many things. You are indeed very powerful, but I probably won't be able to go to the feed factory."
Qin Jingru's seriousness is really revealed. Despite his own abilities, he felt very unconvinced by such a sentence.
"If you can't go, you still ask. You are deliberately trying to tease me. Sister, let's go back and come back when I turn sixteen next year."
Zhu Xuefeng smiled and said, "You This little girl is so naive. She can do other things if she can't go to the feed factory. Do you really like to deal with feed? "
Qin Jingru's eyes widened when she heard this. This girl's eyes are quite beautiful.
"What else can I do? I also want to work in other factories, but I don't know the people here."
Fifteen years old, I am still so innocent, good-looking, and decent. With clever calculations, Zhu Xuefeng had a clue.
“Do you have any younger brothers or sisters? How old are they?”
Qin Jingru didn’t understand what the relationship was, but she answered honestly, “You have one younger brother and one younger sister. The older one is eleven years old. , the youngest is five years old."
"Do you like them? Do you like to play with them?" Qin Jingru said without thinking, "Of course I do, of course I take them to play." , waiting for me to go to work to earn money to buy them food."
Zhu Xuefeng was very satisfied and said to the confused Qin Huairu with a smile.
"At your sister's age, you can't get into the factory, but I have a job here, and there should be hope. If you are willing, after dinner, I can take you to the master's house to talk, you Let’s see.”
As soon as Qin Huairu heard about the owner, she understood that Zhu Xuefeng wanted his sister to be a nanny. Just think about it. Being a nanny is definitely easier and cleaner than being a worker. Isn’t that what a nanny is? Laundry, cooking and tidying up the house are no problem for these sisters.
"Brother, thank you very much. My sister is fine. We will go back now. Say hello to you when you are done."
"Is this done?" Qin Jingru, who was full of confusion, wanted to ask something else, but was pulled by her sister and left in a daze. Looking at this little confused, Zhu Xuefeng couldn't hold back his laughter. This little This girl is so fun. Fortunately, Xu Damao went in, otherwise this girl would be such a tragedy.
"Brother, is it done?"
Silly Zhu stuck his head out from behind wearing an apron and asked cheerfully.
“I’ll take her to let others see her later. Whether it works or not depends on whether they can see it or not.”
Silly Zhu didn’t take it seriously, “Brother, you are really capable. I can find someone who wants a nanny.”
The house is not big, and Silly Zhu can hear clearly in the kitchen. It is very difficult for everyone these days, and food is rationed, so finding a nanny generally has to take care of the food. Come on, most people really can't do it. Who wants to have one more mouth in the family?
Zhu Xuefeng did not answer, but just asked, "Sister Yuyu, why are you so slow today? She should have come here long ago."
"She just came back from helping to open up wasteland in Daxing, and she is slovenly. Yes, I came back without taking a shower. I am washing up now.”
“Oh, you must be exhausted. Brother Zhuzhu, you can add some more food and let Sister Yuyu replenish it.” It's not easy to work in the countryside. With her body, she must be very tired these days."
"Who are you talking about?" The sound of rain came from the door, and a big girl walked in slowly. , He Yuyu had changed his clothes, his hair was still wet and held up casually, his face was slightly red and black, it should be from the sun these days, but he looked healthy.
"Hey, sister Yuyu is here. Little sister, take her to the north room, take out the hair dryer, and let your sister dry her hair."
The house has already been equipped with sockets, and only the north room and the south room There was one in the room. The little girl responded and ran out with a smile on her face without even drying her hands.
"Sister Yuyu, I'll take you there. I know where to put it." He Yuyu affectionately took the little girl's hand and went in to pack it up.
It is rare to have such a lively meal. Since Zhu Xuefeng and He Yuyu went to college, they have military training and labor production classes every semester, and they also have internships during holidays, because they are not in the same school. In school, the schedule is always inconsistent and always perfectly staggered.
“Brother, the sauerkraut you make this year is more authentic than before, much better than the sauerkraut in our school.”
“That’s because the cooking methods in the cafeteria are different from those at home, and I am the one who cooks them in our cafeteria. That's not what it's like to guide them. Sister, you said you would find a bridesmaid for me. Although this matter has been postponed, don't forget it."
He Yuyu had already thought about it, and his brother had already thought about it. If you are happy, you can't control it, so you won't fight back.
“I can’t forget, isn’t it just the second half of the year? It’s okay. Two of them are my high school classmates and two are my college classmates. They are both beautiful. I wanted to introduce them to you, but you are so anxious. "
Silly Zhu stared, "I'm worried, you don't even know how old your brother is. It's April now, I'm still 27, and other people's 27-year-olds can make soy sauce. Okay."
He Yuyu said happily, "Who told you that you were not in a hurry before, but now you are in a hurry. Come on, I will have more sisters-in-law soon. I have agreed that you don't have to worry about my affairs. Don’t worry about the new sister-in-law, otherwise I won’t give her face.”
Silly Zhu picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered, "As if anyone cares about your business, thank God if you don't cause trouble for me."
Looking at the two brothers and sisters teasing Mouth, Zhu Xuefeng and the other two secretly enjoyed themselves.
"It's all arranged. I heard from Uncle Xue that if you want to move the furniture you ordered, it's not necessary. It will take some time for the tung oil to dry."
"The house hasn't been tidied up yet. It will be even more troublesome when the furniture comes, so I decided to let them take it easy. If it's really done, there won't be anywhere to put it."
Silly Zhu is now in his pocket. There is no shortage of money, and all the furniture that I like has been ordered. Anyway, the main room is large, and it will definitely be able to fit in it after the tidying up. But the house has not been tidied up yet, so naturally I don't want to crowd the main room.
"After the rain, the house will be cleaned up together. According to Brother Zhu, our house must also be waterproofed. I will also replace the furniture for you by then. Your broken wardrobe, five-drawer chest, I've also changed the table and bed for you. It's just a once-in-a-lifetime effort and it saves trouble."
"Brother, you can do it yourself. Are you worried about having money in your pocket now? How do you prepare it? "
"Well, I want to apply for an electric vehicle quota from the factory. Brother, I need your help with this."
" Okay, I'll say hello when the time comes. You should be able to get in line based on your current seat."
"My father promised to get a ticket for the sewing machine. I'll prepare two watches when the time comes. This is a bit of a problem. Industrial. I’m not short of tickets, but it’s a bit difficult to get tickets.”
Zhu Xuefeng took a mouthful of rice without even raising his head, "Give me the money when the time comes. I'll give you one for each male and female watch. Sister Yuyu, why don't you also get one? It will be convenient to have a watch to tell the time."
Silly Zhu patted Zhu Xuefeng on the shoulder, "Brother, you are so awesome. You can still get three yuan, and you also need one yuan for rainwater. I will pay for it."
He Yuyu She had discovered that Zhu Xuemei had brought a new watch, and she had already thought about it. She just knew that her brother was the only one receiving salary at home. Although it was a little extra money, the wedding would definitely cost a lot, so she never felt embarrassed to mention it. This was a big deal. Many families who are over a hundred years old do not have one.
"Brother, let's do something for you first. It costs a lot of money. It's not necessary. I'll buy it myself when I get to work."
Silly Zhu didn't explain at all, but just shouted at Zhu The brothers winked, and Zhu Xuefeng nodded. He Yuyu saw the two communicating like this and stopped saying anything. She still knew that her brother made a lot of money from the prepared dishes last year.
"Three rounds went together, but there was still no way out when the sound came. They had a gramophone at home to accompany them, but it was too ostentatious and I didn't want it. Radios are not cheap now. I went to see them. The new ones in the department store The one from Shencheng costs 153 and still needs tickets. The one from Shencheng costs 166 and still needs tickets. It is more expensive than the bicycle.”
The bicycle still maintains its original price. 164 yuan, which has been stable for many years.
