Chapter 58: Born to take advantage

The wedding banquet of He Daqing and Qin Huairu ended successfully amid laughter and bustle.

The dishes prepared at the banquet were not only sumptuous, but also abundant.

The food on the tables where most adults were seated was basically all gone, while there were many children sitting on some seats, and the food on the table was not finished. The Qin family's own relatives were not polite and were busy carrying leftovers.

Pack it up and take it home.

Qin Dapao and his wife were heartbroken when they saw it, but they didn't want to keep it public to prevent others from packing.

First of all, food goes bad easily in hot weather, so even if they keep it all, they won't be able to finish it.

Secondly, today is a good day. We are already in great glory. If we stop it at this time, it will inevitably make people laugh.

In desperation, Qin Dapao could only hold back and say nothing.

But this just allows everyone to publicize it well and let people from all over the country know the strength of their Qin family.

By then his two sons will also be able to find wives.

When a girl gets married, she will usually be reluctant to say goodbye to her family, and some may even cry.

Qin Huairu did not take the usual path. She was picking up the remaining food on the mat with her bag!

And she chose meat to pack, including mutton, beef, two chickens, and a duck.

In addition, she ran into the house again and brought many specialties from the countryside, including wild mushrooms, fungus, pickles, etc.

Sure enough, it was the married daughter who threw the water. Qin Huairu was thinking of taking advantage of her parents' family!

Qin Huairu looked around inside and outside the house and packed up everything he could carry.

Finally, He Daqing couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly stopped her, "Huairu, don't be like this, it's not easy for your parents. If you do this, you have to keep some of whatever they eat and drink!"

"It's okay, brother! You gave them a big red envelope, and today they have received so much money. They are not short of food and drink. You can go to the back room to rest for a while. I will call you after I finish cleaning up!"

Qin Huairu didn't stop for a moment and started searching for various supplies from her parents' family.

He Daqing was stunned.

This wife really didn’t get married in vain, she really took advantage of her!

In the blink of an eye, Qin Huairu had finished searching.

When she came, she brought three baggage and two wooden barrels. When she returned, she filled the three baggage and two wooden barrels with supplies, and almost moved away the farm tools at home.

He Daqing couldn't stand it any longer, so he pulled Qin Huairu and was about to leave.

Qin Huairu did not agree. She thought about it and thought it would be lunch time soon.

There were still a lot of leftovers at my parents' house, so I didn't take advantage of them, so I just had lunch before leaving.

He Daqing was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. This wife is so worth marrying, how can she suffer any loss in the future?

And Qin Huairu also had her reasons for doing this.

Firstly, it was to make up for He Daqing's losses. After all, he paid most of the expenses for the wedding. Secondly, it was because when she was a daughter, she was not welcomed by her parents' family.

In fact, in the early 1950s after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the life of rural people was no worse than that of urban people. Farmers had their own fields. As long as they were not lazy and unwilling to work, they could still manage enough coarse grains and so on, and they basically could not go hungry.

It’s just that there is a shortage of meat, oil, water and white noodles.

And Qin Dapao is obviously a lazy person. It is not a disaster year. As long as he works hard, his family will not be without food, and he will not be forced to marry his daughter in exchange for food.

Therefore, what Qin Huairu did was in line with common sense.

After lunch.

All the young and old of the Qin family went out to give it away. Everyone carried bags and barrels.

He Daqing felt at ease with his hands empty.

Qin Jingru hadn't gone back yet, so she also came over to see her off.

"Sister, is the courtyard you mentioned really that spacious and clean?"

"That's natural. Don't you think about it, could ordinary people live in courtyard houses in the past? They were basically dignitaries!"

He Daqing was chatting with Qin Jingru with his hands behind his back. This little girl was definitely curious about life in the city!

"Sister, when I have free time, can I come to the city to play with you?"

Qin Jingru's eyes were bulging with anticipation. After hearing He Daqing's introduction, she had long wanted to go to the city to see what was new.

"Okay! But it can't be done now, until I get your sister's belly bigger.

Ahem...

I mean, when your sister gets pregnant and she is alone in the house, I am afraid that she will be bored and have no one to take care of her. You can just come over to stay with her and live the life of a city dweller!"

He Daqing had his own idea. When Qin Huairu became pregnant, the family happened to be short of a woman to do laundry and cooking. Silly Zhu could not do this kind of thing. The key point was that it was inconvenient. It would be easier if Qin Jingru came over.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from you and my sister!"

"Remember to notify me when the time comes!"

Qin Jingru looked at He Daqing expectantly.

"Okay, brother-in-law will definitely not forget it!"

He Daqing touched Qin Jingru's head and gave him a head-touch kill.

The little girl didn't resist, she pouted her lips, looking particularly smart and cute.

Soon they came to the side of the road and boarded a bus.

The young and old of the Qin family helped carry all the luggage barrels into the car, and then waved goodbye outside the car.

"Son-in-law, remember to come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that we can have a good drink!"

Qin Dapao is in a very good mood. He looks pretty good today.

"Okay, Dad, Huairu and I will definitely be back by then!"

He Daqing waved his hand towards Qin Dapao.

Soon the car started moving.

Seeing Qin Huairu's satisfied look, He Daqing couldn't help it anymore.

"Huairu, are you too cruel? When you came, you had three bags and two barrels, and when you went back, they were even more full. Are you not afraid that the villagers will laugh at us? People who don't know may think that we are here to plunder.

It’s from my mother’s family!”

"Brother, it's okay. I have restrained myself now, otherwise I will have to get half of the money back!"

Qin Huairu still had some unfinished ideas and wanted to take advantage of more.

He Daqing couldn't say much.

What else can you say about marrying such a wife?

Whoever marries will be happy!

After a bumpy journey, the bus soon arrived at the station in Sijiucheng.

After getting out of the car, there were again large and small bags, and two wooden barrels.

He Daqing couldn't move here. When he came here, Shazhu was still working as a coolie. Now that he and Qin Huairu are the only two left, it's not easy to move back.

He raised his hand and was about to call a rickshaw to take him back to the courtyard.

But Qin Huairu disagreed. She didn't want to spend money randomly.

"Brother, let's just walk back. Don't waste money!"

“I’m afraid it’s hard to carry so much luggage!”

He Daqing frowned and pointed to the luggage on the ground, feeling helpless.

Qin Huairu, however, acted like a normal person and hurriedly repacked her luggage.

He left the smallest baggage for He Daqing, and also gave him the lightest thing to put in the barrel.

“That’s it!”

Qin Huairu carried two heavy burdens smoothly and carried a wooden barrel in her hand.

He Daqing shook his head and could only follow her, carrying a small baggage on his back and a wooden barrel in his hand.

The two of them walked all the way towards the courtyard.

It didn't take long.

I saw Shazhu coming over on his bicycle.

"Dad, I'm here, put your luggage down quickly!"

Shazhu parked the bicycle, took the luggage from He Daqing and Qin Huairu, and tied it to the bicycle without any delay.

It turned out that he counted today as the third day, so He Daqing took three days off in total, expecting to come back today.

After finishing his work in the afternoon, he asked for leave in advance from the canteen director. The canteen director heard that he was going to pick up He Daqing and immediately agreed.

Silly Zhu came straight from the steel rolling mill to the station and just happened to catch up.
