Chapter 33 Return to the city
After shouting this, Aunt Qin went into the house to continue brainwashing Qin Huairu.
When Qin Baogui heard what Aunt Qin said, his expression froze immediately. He realized the problem and moved his lips towards Wang Deming but didn't say anything.
Old Man Qin smiled and interrupted: "Deming, drink some water."
Wang Deming smiled, lowered his head to drink water, and refused to talk about this topic anymore.
But I secretly complained in my heart. No wonder our ancients said: A virtuous mother will pass on the family tradition for three generations. Marry a virtuous wife.
Although Wang Deming, as a person from later generations, does not know much about this era, he also knows that farming is definitely the least promising, and we should add a prefix: always!
Although his ideas may not be the best, as a time traveler, he definitely knows: whether it is to be a traveling peddler for a few years and then use connections to be recruited by the government to work in a supply and marketing cooperative; or to attend a technical training course run by a factory or mine and then become a worker after graduation.
They are all the best choices in this era.
As long as you have a formal job, you will be guaranteed a stable income for decades to come.
Even if the grain rations in the future are nominally the same in urban and rural areas, what about other coupons? Especially cloth coupons!
Even if you have money, you can't buy cloth or make clothes.
The country folks only wear one pair of pants per family. Is it just because they are poor?
I have to go home tonight and have a good talk with my godmother. If Qin Huairu is also so short-sighted, it will affect future generations.
I have a general idea of the future, and I also have superior learning skills and the ability to obtain secret information. How can the future be bad?
But if you raise a few prodigal sons, then wouldn’t it be a waste of time to travel back in time?
Alas, beauty misled me.
The lunch should have been absolutely sumptuous: chicken nuggets stewed with potatoes, scrambled eggs, and baked white flour pancakes, but Wang Deming took a few bites of the vegetables, ate two pancakes and stopped eating.
It's not that I don't want to continue eating, but Aunt Qin only made four pancakes.
A chicken was added to a large pot of potatoes, but it was not certain whether it was a chicken. Well, a full pot was filled with only a few pieces of chicken, and the rest were potatoes.
There were only two scrambled eggs, spread very high, covering the entire plate, but it was only a thin layer.
Others still eat two-grain bread
How could he feel comfortable eating fine food? So he reluctantly ate two.
After this sumptuous lunch, before Wang Deming could speak, Qin Huairu said that she was worried that her mother-in-law would be too busy at home and wanted to go home early, so she pulled him back.
After leaving Qinjia Village, Qin Huairu gradually slowed down her pace. Wang Deming also slowed down and looked at her sideways in confusion.
Qin Huairu lowered her head and hesitated for a long time. She pursed her lips tightly and timidly raised her head to Wang Deming and said, "Deming, if in the future, I say if, my mother comes to Beijing alone or brings my brother to find you."
"Whatever she says, you should agree to it in advance and then come back to ask me, okay?"
Wang Deming just smiled and nodded without asking why?
Qin Huairu was obviously relieved and smiled, "Deming, we will be fine from now on!"
"Yeah, everything is fine!"
Time passed quickly. One day later, on the morning of National Day, Wang Deming and his family of three had breakfast. Qin Huairu quickly cleaned up the dishes and asked Wang Shuqin and her mother, "Mom, Deming, what clothes are you going to take with you to Beijing today? I'll prepare them for you two later."
"Do you need to bring some dry food for the journey? I'll make you some pancakes and some pickled vegetables to tie them up with."
Wang Deming looked at his godmother and said with a smile, "Xiao Ru, you don't need to prepare any spare clothes."
"My sister has spares at home."
"You don't need any dry food. It's very fast to take the train from Changping to Beijing. You can just find a place to eat after you get off the train."
Qin Huairu, who was wiping the table, paused for a moment, lowered her head and continued to work, her voice a little muffled: "Hmm"
Wang Shuqin then continued to instruct: "Xiao Ru, when you are alone at home at night, remember to prop up the door with wood!"
"Remember, no matter who shouts, don't open the door!"
"Even if it's your biological parents' voice, it won't work. In this world, there are people who can imitate other people's speech!"
"Yes, Mom, I remember it."
"Also, Xiaoru, there is a big market in the village today. You can ask the villagers to bring back two puppies and put them in the living room at night. They can also help give them courage."
"Mom, you're right. I haven't thought about this before. We need to raise two dogs to help look after the house." Wang Deming looked at Qin Huairu who was feeling a little down, and comforted her gently, "Xiaoru, we'll stay at my sister's house for a few days this time. I'll send mom back on the 7th."
"You've worked hard at home. If there's anything urgent, go find Uncle Yan and ask him to take you to the village to call me."
"Don't be too frugal at home. Make more delicious food for yourself. We have plenty of rice, flour, grain and oil at home. Eat an egg every day. Also, remember to use the cloth to make your own clothes."
"When No. 7 comes back, I'll bring you another piece of cloth."
Qin Huairu seemed to have recovered her composure at this time, and smiled, "Well, Deming, you and mom can rest assured."
"I can take care of myself, and I can take care of my home inside and out."
Although Qin Huairu said so, when Wang Deming and Wang Shuqin took the donkey cart driven by Uncle Yan to Changping County, they still asked Uncle Yan to help look after them.
As soon as he came out of Qianmen Railway Station (Zhengyangmen East Station), Wang Deming suddenly felt as if he was in another world. Although he had only been home for a few days, he had actually accomplished a major event in his life!
Getting married!
This is a great achievement that has not been accomplished in the previous life!
Although I married a country girl, I made a lot of money from her because of her looks and figure!
Not to mention how good at serving others!
Besides, I finally lost my virginity at the age of 16!
Celebrate, you must celebrate hard!
Wang Deming supported his godmother and suddenly became interested: "Mom, I'll call my sister's house later and ask her to bring Renchun and Yichun to Fengze Garden for lunch today."
Wang Shuqin was carefully avoiding the flow of people. She was suddenly stunned when she heard this. She tilted her head slightly and asked with a hint of doubt: "Deming, why did you suddenly want to go to Fengze Garden for dinner?"
"This year, your book was published. To celebrate, our family of three went to Fengze Garden. This time, we went to..."
"Is it because you got married?"
Wang Deming raised his lips, unable to conceal his joy, "Yes!"
"Mom, you see, my novel is published, it's a great joyous event, as is my marriage."
"Okay!" Wang Shuqin also smiled, "Then let's go to Fengze Garden today. It's been a while since we last went there."
".But Deming," Wang Shuqin's eyes flashed with thought: "Although my mother and I didn't let Xiaoru live with you in the city, we still have to take her to the city for a stroll occasionally."
"We didn't marry her to be a servant. If she stays in the countryside all day, busy with three meals a day and the small piece of land in front of her, she will have limited experience in the future and won't be able to raise children."
"Yes, Mom, you are right. I haven't told you yet." Wang Deming briefly talked about his experience on the day of returning to his parents' home, and then sighed: "So, I completely understand the saying of the ancients: A virtuous mother will pass on her virtues for three generations."
Wang Shuqin also shook her head helplessly: "Ah, so, if parents are not far-sighted enough and have limited vision, it will have a huge impact on their children's lives."
“That’s why they say: A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse’s child will dig holes.”
"Deming, when I go back this time, I will take Xiaoru to study when I have nothing to do. For ordinary people like us, we can only rely on reading to open our minds."
"Mom, you're right."
"I heard that the Chairman's article will be published soon. I will buy a copy when the time comes."
The Beijing Telephone Office was just across the Nanyan River from Hepingmen. Wang Deming called two rickshaws, went to the telephone office to call his sister, and then asked the driver to continue to Fengze Garden.
Fengze Garden is very close to Qianmen Railway Station. There are two roads to choose from: Go south along Qianmen (Zhengyangmen) Street, turn right into Langfang Toutiao, the first fork in the alley is Meishi Street, go south along Meishi Street, and you will reach Fengze Garden at the intersection of Zhushikou West Street;
Another way is to go south along Qianmen Street, pass the famous Dazhalan Hutong, turn right at Zhushikou Street, and then turn right again at Meishi Street.
