Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 535
"Girl, who is this?"

After a while, Sun Fengjuan came over, looked at Lin Tieniu, and asked with some doubts.

"Mom, he's Brother Tieniu from Jiangchang Village, don't you remember him?"

Qin Jingru put her arms around Sun Fengjuan's arm, and said with a sweet smile.

"Oh! So you are a cow baby! In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big!"

Sun Fengjuan widened her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and said in a dazed expression.

After speaking, she couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Originally, she thought Lin Tieniu was a wild man Qin Jingru secretly met outside!
Fortunately not!

At this time, Qin Guangliang, Qin Jingwei, Qin Jingguang, and Mrs. Li all heard Sun Fengjuan's words, and they all relaxed from their nervous expressions.

Because Sun Fengjuan is from Jiangchang Village, they also have some impressions of Lin Tieniu, an orphan. They also know that Qin Jingru liked to play behind Lin Tieniu's butt when he lived in his grandmother's house.

Anyway, as long as it's not a wild man brought back from outside, it's fine.

Not long after, Sun Fengjuan invited Lin Tieniu into the house with enthusiasm.

In any case, Lin Tieniu can be regarded as a member of her natal family, and she has a natural feeling of closeness. In addition, Lin Tieniu is also carrying a chicken and several catties of candy and melon seeds as gifts, so how can she not be enthusiastic? Woolen cloth?

After telling Qin Jingru to treat Lin Tieniu well, she took the big rooster to the kitchen, ready to kill and make a meal.

As soon as Lin Tieniu entered the room, he hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and opened them. First, he gave Qin Guangliang one, then Qin Jingwei and Qin Jingguang each, and finally Then he put the remaining cigarettes on the coffee table above the kang.

Qin Guangliang reached out to take the cigarette, and unconsciously showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Then, he turned his head and saw Qin Jingru standing next to Lin Tieniu with a smirk on his face, and immediately said angrily, "Girl, why are you standing there? Why don't you hurry up and pour Niuwa a glass of water!"

"Oh!"

Qin Jingru hurriedly nodded in agreement when she heard the words, and then hurried to the side to get the kettle to pour water.

"Bah!"

Soon, Qin Guangliang took out a box of matches and lit a cigarette.

Seeing this, Qin Jingwei and Qin Jingguang hurried over to borrow the fire.

Qin Guangliang looked at his two worthless sons, and immediately pulled his face down.

If it weren't for the presence of Lin Tieniu as a guest, I'm afraid he would have yelled at him long ago.

Qin Jingwei and Qin Jingguang saw that Qin Guangliang's face was not right, they shrank their necks quickly, then quickly turned around and ran to the door of the house to squat and smoke, with a look of satisfaction gradually appearing on their faces.

On weekdays, how could they have the opportunity to smoke such good cigarettes, and they even had to save some cigarettes.

This time, the two of them, who are older brothers, are actually in Qin Jingru's favor.

Not long after, Qin Jingru also poured a cup of boiled water and brought it over, and then put the teacup in front of Lin Tieniu obediently, just like a little daughter-in-law.

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly, took a breath of hot air from his teacup, and then took a sip to warm himself up.

In the countryside these days, there are basically few households that have tea. No matter what kind of guests come to the house, they can get it with a glass of boiled water.

Seeing Lin Tieniu put down his teacup, Qin Guangliang slowly exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and asked, "Niuboy, I remember that you went to the army to serve as a soldier a few years ago, right? Now you're discharged from the army? "

"Yes! I just came back from the army not long ago!"

Lin Tieniu nodded and replied with a soft smile.

"Yeah! It's good to be back, the harvest in the field has been better in the past two years, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can still stutter."

Qin Guang nodded his head, and then said with some emotion.

After speaking, he glanced at Qin Jingru, and then kept thinking in his heart.

In his opinion, Lin Tieniu came to the door with so many things this time, no doubt he wanted to marry his daughter Qin Jingru.

However, as far as he knew, Lin Tieniu was not only an orphan, but also his house seemed to have collapsed, so he was really not a good son-in-law.

Just when he was thinking about how to reject Lin Tieniu's request to propose marriage, Qin Jingru said impatiently: "Dad, brother Niu is working as a worker in the city now, so he doesn't need to work in the fields at all!"

"Really?"

Qin Guangliang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked at Lin Tieniu full of surprise.

"Uncle, what Jingru said is right, I am indeed working as a worker in the city now."

Lin Tieniu nodded with a smile and said.

As he said that, he talked about the troops helping them settle down in the city and assigning work.

"So, you are already a city resident now? And you still have a formal job?"

Qin Guangliang stared, and then asked in disbelief.

"That's right!"

The corner of Lin Tieniu's mouth twitched slightly, then nodded and replied.

"Then how much salary do you get a month now?"

Qin Guangliang was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly asked.

When Qin Jingru heard this question, she also stared at Lin Tieniu curiously. She was only interested in being happy, and forgot to ask Lin Tieniu's salary.

"Now I can get 51 yuan and fifty cents a month!"

Lin Tieniu straightened his expression, and then said seriously.

"Ah! So many!"

Qin Jingru was overjoyed when he heard the words, and then couldn't help but exclaim.

Although she doesn't know much about things in the city, she also understands that the salary is already very high. You know, even her cousin Qin Huairu who married into the city only gets 28 yuan and [-] cents a month. salary.

In this way, that can feed a large family.

If she could marry Lin Tieniu, wouldn't she be able to live a good life right away!

Thinking of this, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed Lin Tieniu's sleeve tightly, as if she was worried that Lin Tieniu would run away.

At the same time, Qin Guangliang was also stunned by Lin Tieniu's words.

This is 50 yuan and fifty cents!

This is enough for their family to live frugally and save for a year or so.

Afterwards, he came back to his senses, immediately laughed and said, "Okay, okay!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help feeling a little thankful that he didn't rush to reject Lin Tieniu.

If he misses such a good son-in-law, I'm afraid he will regret it even in his intestines.

Seeing Qin Guangliang's reaction, Lin Tieniu smiled slightly.

Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to reveal his salary level!
In the end, he didn't expect Qin Guangliang to cooperate so much, which directly saved him a lot of trouble.

Next, he just needs to find an excuse to take Qin Jingru to the city, and then let Qin Jingru accept being his lover.

He believed that Qin Jingru would solve other problems by himself.

Perhaps Qin Guangliang's voice was too loud. Brothers Qin Jingwei and Qin Jingguang, who were squatting at the door smoking a cigarette, heard the movement, and hurriedly got up and walked into the room, wanting to see what happened.

Soon, they learned about Lin Tieniu's salary from Qin Jingru's mouth, and a look of envy suddenly appeared on their faces.

And Qin Guangliang looked at the two brothers, and immediately thought of the dowry gift, and hurriedly pondered in his heart how many dowry gifts would be appropriate later.

If he can get a generous gift from Lin Tieniu, he will also be able to help his two sons marry a wife.

Although it seemed a little too much for him to think so, this kind of thing was very normal in their countryside, otherwise there would be no such thing as selling a girl.

After he had an idea, he chatted with Lin Tieniu about family affairs while waiting for Lin Tieniu to propose marriage.

However, he waited and waited until Sun Fengjuan finished the lunch, but he didn't hear Lin Tieniu propose marriage, which made him feel a little uneasy.

In fact, Lin Tieniu had already seen Qin Guangliang's intentions, but he was always pretending to be stupid.

Although he was not short of that bit of bride price, but he didn't intend to marry Qin Jingru in the first place, so how could he take the initiative to propose marriage at this time!

In addition, he also wanted to use this method to sharpen Qin Guangliang's heart and reduce the difficulty for him to make Qin Jingru his lover.

At this time, Qin Jingru didn't realize that her father was having a contest with Lin Tieniu at all. Her mind was full of yearning for a better life in the future, and her whole heart was put on Lin Tieniu.

Seeing Qin Jingru's nympho look, Qin Guangliang felt more and more unsure.

Based on his understanding of this silly girl, he knew that even if Lin Tieniu didn't give the bride price, Qin Jingru might not be able to stop Qin Jingru from being together with Lin Tieniu.

So, after eating with Lin Tieniu, he hurriedly dragged Sun Fengjuan into the kitchen to discuss.

As a result, after many discussions and discussions, no good solution was found.

Finally, Sun Fengjuan frowned, and said with some hesitation: "His father, why don't we just ask what Niuwa means? We can discuss the bride price later!"

"No, doesn't this make it look like we are rushing to marry our daughter to him? Besides, what if Niuwa says that he doesn't mean anything to our daughter? We finally met such a good son-in-law, so we can't just do it like this Scared away."

Qin Guangliang didn't even think about it, and directly rejected Sun Fengjuan's proposal.

"Right, right, don't ask, don't ask!"

Sun Fengjuan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly nodded in agreement.

She was anxious for a while, but she didn't think of this question.

If the words are broken, then there will be no room for relaxation.

Even, maybe Lin Tieniu thought they were forcing a marriage!
However, if they don't take the initiative to ask, it's not a solution to just procrastinate!
It's so frustrating!

Just when they felt a little anxious about this matter, Qin Jingru suddenly ran in from the outside, and then said impatiently: "Dad, Mom, I will go to the city with Brother Tie Niu later."

"Nonsense! Do you know how to be ashamed as a girl? You go to someone's house before you pass the door!"

Qin Guangliang's face darkened instantly when he heard this, and then reprimanded him a little angrily.

"Dad, I didn't say I was going to Brother Tieniu's house, I was going to my cousin's house!"

Qin Jingru pursed her lips, and retorted somewhat angrily.

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly told about Lin Tieniu and Qin Huairu living in the same courtyard.

"Girl, is what you said true?"

Sun Fengjuan was taken aback after hearing this, and then asked in surprise.

Qin Guangliang also looked at Qin Jingru in surprise, as if he had never expected such a coincidence.

"Of course it's true. I asked Brother Tieniu just now, and he told me about the situation in my cousin's house. Can it be false?"

Qin Jingru nodded, and answered with a serious face.

Sun Fengjuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, then suddenly thought of an idea, and hurriedly winked at Qin Guangliang.

Seeing Sun Fengjuan's eyes, Qin Guangliang understood what it meant when he thought about it.

Since they couldn't figure out what Lin Tieniu meant, they might as well let Qin Jingru follow Lin Tieniu to the city to get along for a while, maybe the marriage would be completed by then!
Moreover, with a relative like Qin Huairu watching, they don't have to worry that their daughter will suffer.

So, Qin Guangliang pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, then you can go to the city with Niu Wa to learn more, and I will find someone to write a letter to your cousin later, and ask her to take care of you !"

"Great, I'm going to tell Brother Tieniu right now!"

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then he cheered and said.

After finishing speaking, she quickly turned around and ran out, telling Lin Tieniu the good news.

As everyone knows, Lin Tieniu didn't intend to bring Qin Jingru to the courtyard at all, so it was naturally impossible for Qin Huairu to know about it.

Not long after, Qin Guangliang went to the village to find someone to write a letter to Qin Jingru, and then asked Qin Jingru to hand over the letter to Qin Huairu.

Qin Jingru still attached great importance to Qin Guangliang's words, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Lin Tieniu didn't stay too long, and soon bid farewell to Qin Guangliang and Sun Fengjuan.

Seeing that Lin Tieniu hadn't proposed marriage until now, Qin Guangliang felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Fortunately, Qin Jingru will go to the city with Lin Tieniu next, and he doesn't have to worry that Lin Tieniu, a good son-in-law, will run away.

Before leaving, Sun Fengjuan specially called Qin Jingru aside and told her not to throw her body away casually.

When Qin Jingru heard these words, she blushed immediately, and even looked at Lin Tieniu with a strange look in her eyes, as if thinking of some deer bumping into each other.

In this way, Lin Tieniu successfully took Qin Jingru away.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, they took the bus back to the newly purchased yard.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Qin Jingru looked at the very spacious courtyard in front of him, and immediately asked with some doubts: "Brother Tieniu, where is this? Why did you bring me here?"

"Oh, this is the house of a distant cousin of mine. Their family just moved to the south a few days ago, so let me take care of it. It's empty anyway. I just want you to live here first. You don't have to go to your cousin's house to be crowded with their big family."

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly and explained softly.

"Really? That's great!"

Qin Jingru stared at the words, and then cheered with surprise on his face.

Although she can go to Qin Huairu's house to borrow, how can it compare to living in such a big yard by herself!

"Hehe! Let's go! I'll take you into the house to have a look!"

Lin Tieniu said with a chuckle, then turned and closed the courtyard door.
