Chapter 14 Unhappy
The eldest brother of the Qin family blurted out without thinking: "Ah! Not a formal worker yet?"

"How can you talk like that?" Jia Zhang was immediately unhappy. Her round face darkened and she shouted angrily, "Why aren't you a formal worker?"

"Which apprentice do you think is paid?"

"The old man who just came to the hospital is Dongxu's master, a senior technician in the factory. As long as Dongxu's skills are up to par, he can just tell Boss Lou and get the salary of a formal technician!"

Jia Zhang glanced at the eldest brother of the Qin family with her small eyes, and said rudely with contempt: "Even if Dongxu is now earning 15 or 6 yuan a month, how can it not be better than your village? You can only earn this much by farming in the countryside for a year, right?"

"I" the eldest brother of the Qin family was about to refute, but Qin Huairu pulled the corner of his clothes under the table. Although he looked dissatisfied, he did not continue to refute.

Since Wang Deming’s guidance last year, even if my family only sells eggs, we can make more than ten yuan a year...

The matchmaker saw that something was not right and immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Haha, hey, Mr. Qin, Dongxu is making 15 or 6 yuan a month now. But there is also Jia Jia's sister-in-law. Let me tell you, Jia Jia's sister-in-law is very good at making shoes. She can make more than 10 yuan a month by making a few pairs of shoes. Life is easy."

"Once Dongxu has mastered the skills, he will be even more amazing! He can earn more than 30 yuan a month, right, sister-in-law Jia?"

Jia Zhang smiled complacently as she was being flattered by the matchmaker: "Of course, does this senior technician just take in apprentices casually? It's because Dongxu has talent, and learning the skills will only take one or two years!"

Hearing the word "talent", the eldest brother of the Qin family thought of Wang Deming unconsciously. That's what you call talent, right? He glanced at his sister who kept looking down, and felt that his sister was right.
Seeing that this point was resolved, the matchmaker was worried that Jia Dongxu and his wife would say something even worse, so she immediately changed the topic to dinner:
"Hey, sister-in-law Jia, what food have you prepared for lunch?"

"It's time for dinner now."

When talking about the prepared food, Jia Zhang was even more amazing and very proud: "I asked Dongxu to go to the pork butcher shop in Beibingmasi Hutong to buy a pig's head for one dollar!"

"Hey, their cooking skills are really amazing. The meat is so fat and trembling." Jia Zhang swallowed unconsciously, "And the boss saw that our Dongxu boy was in good spirits, so he sold him an extra piece of front trough meat. This is good meat, and the boss usually reserves it for regular customers."

"I've prepared several dishes. I'll serve them out now."

Qin Huairu heard the boasting in Jia Zhang's words, and she kept complaining in her heart, saying that it was worth buying some meat from the butcher shop? Who are you looking down on? After thinking about it carefully, it must be that she doesn't buy meat on a regular basis.

De Ming bought himself so many delicious foods, but he never showed off?

If it weren't for the matchmaker, would my family feel that the price was not expensive and would eat with peace of mind?
Qin Huairu really didn't want to stay there any longer. The noise in the yard had stopped for a while and De Ming should have gone far away, so she tugged at her brother's clothes under the table again.

The eldest brother of the Qin family received the signal from his sister, swallowed his saliva, and refused with difficulty: "We won't eat here, it's getting late, I have to hurry and catch the car back."

"The journey is too long. Arriving home early will also give my parents peace of mind."

As soon as these words were spoken, the matchmaker's face changed immediately. Not wanting to eat meant that she didn't like the Jia family!

But the old Jia family is also short-sighted. Pig head meat is for matchmakers. How can pig head meat be served on the table for the first meeting? What's going on? So I just need to bring the girl here to meet and that's it? They just send me away with a meal like this?
Still want the front trough meat? Do you really think that she is a country girl with no vision? Her lover is much more generous than you, directly giving her the "Tianfuhao"!
But if you and your sister are not eating here, how can I eat? It is not easy for me to eat meat!

So he continued to persuade him: "Brother Qin, don't you have to eat on the way back? You should eat first."

"Only after eating meat can you have the strength to drive the cart."

"If you don't eat it, Huairu will have to eat it too." The matchmaker even emphasized the word "meat" with emphasis.
Qin Huairu turned a deaf ear and continued to pull at her brother's clothes under the table. The eldest brother of the Qin family looked at his sister with resentment, and endured the crazy saliva secreted from his mouth. He gritted his teeth and refused: "I'd better not eat it. It's urgent to hurry on the road. Besides, I also brought dry food."

The matchmaker and Jia Zhang's faces looked extremely ugly, especially Jia Zhang, who felt even more resentful. I didn't even look down on you, a country girl?
Are you guys looking down on us now?
Just when he was about to lose his temper, Jia Dongxu coughed and spoke: "How about this, Mom, give the pig head to Huairu to eat on the way?"

As soon as Qin Huairu entered the room, Jia Dongxu fell in love with her at first sight. How could this girl be so pretty? She was tall but not thin, with a bulging chest, as if it was about to bloom and be picked; her big watery eyes, high nose bridge, and especially her slightly upturned lips, made people want to bite them.
Jia Dongxu knew the reason why Qin Huairu and her brother did not stay for dinner, but he still had fantasies in his heart and secretly made up his mind to ask a matchmaker to go to Qinjia Village and say good things. Maybe the next blind date would be successful?
Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu helplessly. If someone doesn't want to keep some food for you, it means he doesn't like you. Why are you still eager to offer him meat?

My son is good in every way, except that he is too soft-hearted. He is not like me at all.
Although she was extremely reluctant, Jia Zhang hesitated for a few seconds and finally stood up: "Okay, I'll go get some paper to wrap it up." After all, she had to save face for her son in front of outsiders. The old man had unfortunately passed away, and this only son was the pillar of the family.

Qin Huairu also stood up, still with her head down, and twisted her brother's shoulder. The eldest brother of the Qin family also stood up in a hurry, shaking his hands to refuse: "No, no!" At the same time, he slowly moved towards the door. Seeing this, Jia Zhang stopped naturally. Seeing this, the eldest brother of the Qin family could only sigh inwardly. It seems that there will be no meat to eat today. He took a step forward.

Jia Dongxu stood up in a hurry, unable to hold back, and took the initiative to attack. He walked a few steps to Qin Huairu's side and asked softly in a low voice: "Sister Huairu, can I go to Qinjia Village to see you next Sunday when I have a day off?"

"No!" Qin Huairu blurted out, her face changing slightly, and then she said the only sentence she had said since coming to the Jia family: "Let's not meet again in the future!" Then she turned around and walked out.

After being clearly rejected by Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu's face turned pale and he stood there in shock, motionless.

Jia Zhang immediately rushed to the door and pointed at Qin Huairu and yelled, "You country girl, are you shaking in front of us?"

"You are lucky that we like you. Do you know how many country girls want to marry into the city?"

"Mom!" Jia Dongxu shouted to stop Jia Zhang.

The matchmaker also advised: "Sister-in-law Jia, don't be angry. What does the little girl know? Her parents are 100% willing. Wait for me to go to her parents and talk to her properly."

The eldest brother of the Qin family took the opportunity to sneak out of the house
The eldest brother of the Qin family found Qin Huairu in the corner of the street and sighed deeply: "Xiaoru, why are you so decisive?"

".If you had given them a little leeway, wouldn't they have given us the meat?"

"It's okay now. I didn't even get to eat. I have to continue eating dry food on the way back."

"Do you think it's easy for the two of us to come to the capital? We left before dawn, took a two-hour bus ride, and arrived at almost noon."

"Hurry up!" Qin Huairu obviously ignored him. She nervously observed the pedestrians on both sides of the street. She pushed her brother and urged him, "Don't wait for the matchmaker. Let's go home directly. I'll buy you food on the way. I have money in my pocket. Besides, dad said before we left that a poor family means a rich road. Didn't he give you one dollar?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'll tell you on the way"

When the matchmaker came out of the yard, the Qin siblings were no longer on the street. The matchmaker was so angry that she stamped her feet and cursed not only the Qin siblings but also Jia Zhang: "They are all blind. A country girl has been bewitched and even the people in the city don't like her!"

"One is even more shameless. It's already dinner time, but he actually chased the matchmaker out? Is that the only difference between a stutterer and a spit-tip?"

"Oh, isn't this a coincidence? Second Brother Chang, I'm in for a treat today."

"Hey, Yaxuan (Mr. Rong), how could I miss someone as stuttering as you? Come to my place whenever you want to eat duck. This duck was called by Deming when he passed by Bamiancao on his way back."

Wang Deming and his two companions had just returned to their doorstep when a Wellcome delivery guy arrived on a bicycle. There were two white iron barrels on each side of the back seat of the bicycle, with the name of the Wellcome store painted on the outside.

When the waiter arrived, he asked for the location of the dining table where the family would serve dinner, then he walked in carrying a white iron bucket, passed through the moon gate and went straight into the central room of the east wing of No. 82: the dining room of Courtyard 82.

"Excuse me, may I borrow your chopping board, plates and dishes?" The waiter put on a white apron and sleeves, waited for my sister to bring the chopping board from the kitchen, then immediately took out a hot roast duck from a white iron bucket and started slicing it.

It didn't take long to slice the duck, but it was not a good idea to present it on a plate. Although the duck meat was sliced ​​very thinly, it was piled together, which did not look very elegant.

Finally, take out the duck biscuits and accompanying condiments from the iron bucket, and finally place the remaining duck rack neatly on a plate.

After doing all this, the guy wiped the knife clean with a special white cloth, put away the tools, took off his apron sleeves, and said goodbye to my sister. The job was done in just over ten minutes.
