Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Chen Xueru said: "It's okay if she doesn't come. You just need to tell me her height and body shape. It will be fine if she's not here."

He quickly let Yang Chong into the store and said, "Tell me, how old is your sister? How tall is she? Is she fat or thin?"

Yang Chong said: "My sister is fifteen or sixteen years old, she is almost a head shorter than me, and she is also thin. You know, there is a lack of food and drink in the countryside these days, and the nutrition is not enough."

Then he glanced outside, pointed at a girl passing by and said, "Similar to her."

Chen Xueru took a look and nodded: "Okay, I understand, I can do it." Then she roughly calculated: "The cloth coupons will cost 13 feet."

Yang Chong frowned.

Chen Xueru observed his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you have enough cloth coupons?"

Yang Chong nodded: "It's not enough. I only have more than seven feet of cloth coupons. Can I..."

Chen Xueru immediately said, "Seven feet is seven feet. Just because you helped me hold the door and saved me, I should give you a few feet of cloth coupons."

Yang Chong breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, boss lady. Now, if you give me the cloth coupons, you can charge me more."

Chen Xueru glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes: "What do you mean by more? Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who only cares about money and not feelings?"

Yang Chong thought to himself: I just reached out to help you hold the door, why did it become a matter of emotion?

But he didn't say that, he just smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss Xueru."

Chen Xueru said, "Okay, don't be polite with me. Come, pick out some fabrics. I just got some brightly colored patterns that are just right for little girls. Take a look and see which one you want."

As he said that, he walked into the counter, picked up two rolls of fabric and placed them on the counter for Yang Chong to choose from. He even unfolded the fabric and compared it to himself, saying with a smile, "Look, does this patterned fabric look good on you, sister?"

Chen Xueru was fair and pretty, and she looked even more charming in the brightly colored fabrics. Yang Chong nodded and said, "Beautiful, Boss Xueru is beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears."

Chen Xueru giggled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good at talking and making women happy. No wonder you married such a beautiful wife." Then she asked curiously, "By the way, why do you only make clothes for your wife and sister, and not for yourself?"

Yang Chong said carelessly: "I'm a man, I can just wear whatever I want, there's no need to make new clothes. Besides, I still have the work clothes issued by the factory."

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up: "Which factory are you from? Is it a state-owned factory? What do you do?"

Yang Chong took out his work ID card, and Chen Xueru grabbed it. After taking a look, she said in surprise, "The steel mill is really a state-owned factory, and you're a buyer. No wonder I felt that you were different from others the last time I saw you. It turns out you're a cadre."

Yang Chong thought to himself, when I came here last time, I hadn’t entered the steel mill yet, why am I different from others?

Chen Xueru continued, "So your name is Yang Chong. You are only 21 this year, three years younger than me. As the saying goes, a girl is three years older than a man..."

Yang Chong quickly took back his work permit, picked a color that was not too bright and Yang Xiaojuan would definitely like, and said, "Boss Xueru, let's use this color. You can calculate the total price and I'll give it to you."

Chen Xueru was a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything else. Instead, she calculated and said, "Others get twelve yuan, you just give me ten yuan."

Yang Chong nodded, took out seven feet of cloth coupons from his pocket and put twelve yuan on the counter: "Boss Xueru, you charged me less cloth coupons, the money can't be less."

Chen Xueru chuckled: "I've never seen a man like you who won't take advantage of anything given to you."

After paying the money, Chen Xueru walked him out the door. Yang Chong took a few steps and then turned back.

"What's wrong? Did you drop something?" Chen Xueru asked curiously.

Yang Chong simply grabbed the door panels next to him and installed them. He was much stronger than an average person, and these heavy door panels that made Chen Xueru exhausted every day were like a few thin pieces of paper in front of him, and he easily installed them all.

Chen Xueru's face was full of surprise.

"Boss Xueru, this door panel is too heavy. It's not something a woman should do. You'd better find a helper." Yang Chong said.

Chen Xueru looked at him: "Then can I come to you?"

Yang Chong did not answer and changed the subject: "Okay, Boss Xueru, I have to leave quickly. My wife is waiting at home. By the way, when do you think I can come to pick up the clothes?"

"The day after tomorrow." Chen Xueru said.

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow." Yang Chong waved his hand and left without looking back.

Behind her, Chen Xueru pouted and sighed in her heart: "Alas, why do I always miss out on good men?"

When he returned to the courtyard, he saw all the children in the yard gathered at his door, looking at the bicycle he had ridden back earlier.

There were bicycles in the yard. The third uncle in the front yard had one, and Xu Damao in the back yard also had one.

But their cars were all old, especially the third uncle's, which was a second-hand car bought from a repair shop, and all the parts were assembled. It was nothing like Yang Chong's car, which was brand new and could reflect a person's reflection. Everyone who saw it would stop and say a few words of envy.

At this moment, Yu Xiu was standing in front of it, holding a rag, happily wiping the already brand new and bright bicycle until there was no dust at all. After she came back from get off work, she heard Xiaojuan say that this was the bicycle that the factory had provided for Yang Chong, so she was very happy.

People in the courtyard also heard about Yang Chong and his wife going to work in the steel mill. On Yang Chong's first day at work, the factory gave him a bicycle. Everyone was envious and said that the Yang family had a good fortune. In the past, they could not even get enough food and suffered from hunger all day long. Now, not only did he find a wife, but he and his wife also worked in the steel mill as formal employees.

They even gave him a bicycle. How could one not be envious?

The Jia family's reaction was different. Jia Zhang looked at the brand new bicycle with her eyes almost emitting fire. She stared at it for a long time before spitting on the ground in hatred and saying, "Humph! It's just a bicycle. What's so special about it?"

He went back to his room angrily, and sat down on the edge of the kang as soon as he got back. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got: "Humph! Why? My old Jia died in the steel mill, and Dongxu has worked in the factory for several years but he doesn't have a bicycle. How can he, an orphan and uneducated guy, have a bicycle as soon as he enters the factory? And why did he get into the steel mill? And he brought that little beggar in with him?"

He stared at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, look at him. A beggar has entered a state-owned factory to earn a salary, but you are just eating for free all day long. My Dongxu has been dragged down by you!"

Qin Huairu:......
