Chapter 464 Ran Qiuye

"Teacher Ran, please don't get me wrong. It was Brother Wang Chong who saw that Sister Qin's family was having a difficult life. In order to take care of their family, he specially asked Sister Qin to help clean the house and wash clothes. He gave Sister Qin five yuan a month."

"So that's it!" Ran Qiuye suddenly realized: "Comrade Wang Zhong is a good man."

"This can be regarded as an exchange of equal value!" Wang Zhong said: "It's not just me, but also Brother Zhu. Doesn't Brother Zhu work in the canteen? Every time there is a reception in the factory, Brother Zhu is in charge, and every time there will be a lot of leftovers. There are few leftovers that are good in oil and water, Brother Zhu often packs up those leftovers that no one wants and helps the Jia family!"

"Qin Huairu is also a grateful person. Seeing Brother Zhu helping her family, she often helped Brother Zhu clean up the house and wash clothes. At first, Brother Zhu was not happy, saying that he was a young man who had not yet married. How could a female comrade be allowed to help clean the house and do the laundry? But Qin Huairu said that if Brother Zhu was not happy, she would not use Brother Zhu to support her family's meals in the future.

Even though Brother Zhu looks tall and thick, he is actually a warm-hearted person. He lives next to the Jia family and never looks up when he looks down. Seeing such a big child starving and freezing, how can Brother Zhu continue to look at it? He promised Qin Huairu that he would help clean up the house and wash clothes. "

Yuyu nodded and said: "That's true. Although Sister Qin is a woman, she is still quite strong at heart!"

Ran Qiuye also nodded slightly with deep approval and said: "I didn't expect Banggeng's mother to be so principled."

"As the old saying goes: There are many disputes at the widow's door, but after all, it's not just those small talkers who don't know what's going on and don't take it too seriously. They say sorry when they say something wrong, but what they say out loud is... What can never be taken back, the damage caused cannot be undone.”

"That's the truth!"

To be honest, this girl Ran Qiuye is not a scheming person. Although she comes from a scholarly family, returned overseas Chinese, and has a wealthy family, she does not hold herself high. Speaking of which, compared to Qin Huairu, Wang Zhong feels that Ran Qiuye is more suitable. He Yuzhu.

Teacher Ran was right next to him. Silly Zhu wanted to show off. When he cut vegetables, he was very neat and tidy. Just by looking at his knife skills, you could see his superb cooking skills.

The three of them didn't talk for long before Shazhu cooked the vegetables. The staple food was white flour steamed buns steaming on the stove in the room.

Silly Zhu's craftsmanship is of course nothing to say. Although there is still a certain gap compared to Wang Zhong, in Beiping City, they are still at the top of the pyramid.

If you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach. In the past, people would have dismissed this statement, but later generations have proven how lethal this is to women.

Ran Qiuye really didn't expect that Sha Zhu's craftsmanship was so good. Although it was just a few ordinary home-cooked dishes, for a chef, the more ordinary the dishes, the more it tests his cooking skills.

And with the girl He Yuyu accompanying him and Wang Zhong, the very eloquent wingman, assisting him, at least Ran Qiuye was very satisfied with this meal.

Naturally, my impression of Silly Zhu is getting better and better, and my favorability is rising slowly.

The four of them were eating when Qin Huairu came over.

"Teacher Ran?" Qin Huairu was surprised to see Ran Qiuye also in Wang Zhong's room.

"Banggen mother?" Ran Qiuye was not surprised, because Wang Zhong had already explained the matter to her just now. Now seeing Qin Huairu coming, Ran Qiuye naturally knew that Qin Huairu was here to help Wang Zhong clean up the house.

"Sister Qin is here. She is late today and has to wait for a while."

Qin Huairu said: "It's okay, I'll help you clean up the back room and kitchen first!"

"Sister Qin, do you want to sit down and have something to eat together?" Wang Zhong said politely.

"No, no, sister has had dinner, you guys eat, you guys eat!"

"Sister Qin, then I won't be polite to you anymore!"

"Why are you so polite to me? I'll eat what you have!" Qin Huairu smiled and pushed the door into the back room with a feather duster and a rag.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye felt thoughtful.

After dinner, Ran Qiuye said goodbye, and Wang Zhong said: "Teacher Ran, it's late at night, and you are a girl. You have no power and it's not safe. Why don't you let Brother Zhu give you a ride?"

"No need to go to such trouble, right?" Ran Qiuye hesitated.

Yu Yu next to him saw this and quickly held Ran Qiuye's hand and said: "Teacher Ran, don't refuse. You came to dinner only after being invited by us. It's dark and the road is far away today. If something happens, then we will If you're going to blame yourself to death, let my brother see you off. Anyway, it's convenient for him to ride Brother Wang Zhong's bicycle back."

"Yes, Teacher Ran, your safety is more important than anything else, but don't be polite to me!" Silly Zhu also hurriedly offered his courtesy.

"Okay then! I'll trouble you then, Comrade He Yuzhu!"

"Hey, this is just a joke, isn't it? We haven't known each other since we didn't fight each other." He Yuzhu himself is a good person. Even without Wang Zhong and Yuyu to help him, he can still chat with Ran Qiuye.

Watching Silly Zhu push his bicycle and follow Ran Qiuye out of the house, Yuyu's eyes couldn't help but have a bit of expectation. Although he had only been exposed to the art of one meal, Ran Qiuye, who was born in a scholarly family and had read poetry and books, left Yuyu's impression. But excellent.

He speaks politely and has a kind personality. He does not look down on his siblings just because he is a returned overseas Chinese, comes from a scholarly family, and has good family conditions. He is also very kind-hearted.

"Brother Wang Zhong, do you think my brother and Teacher Ran can have fun?" He Yuyu was a little worried, not because Ran Qiuye was not good, but because Ran Qiuye was so good. On the other hand, looking at his silly brother, in addition to his good cooking skills, Apart from that, he has almost no merits. He offends people everywhere with his bad mouth. Even in the courtyard, except for the first uncle and brother Wang Zhong, most of the others don't deal with his brother very much.

Yuyu was worried about He Yuzhu's life-long events. He introduced his classmates to He Yuzhu a while ago. However, although He Yuzhu was quite old, he had a very high vision and disliked Yuyu's classmate because he was not good-looking.

"There should be a show!" Wang Zhong nodded.

After Yu Yu hesitated for a while, he said: "But why do I feel that my brother is not worthy of Teacher Ran! After all, what are Teacher Ran's conditions?"

Wang Zhong said: "Silly girl, your brother's conditions are not bad either. He is the heir to the Tan family's cuisine, and he also cooks authentic Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine. Even if his cooking skills are ranked among the best in the entire Beiping City."

But Yu Yu said worriedly: "But my brother is a cook after all. Teacher Ran comes from a scholarly family, is a teacher, and is an overseas Chinese returned from overseas. I am afraid that she will look down on my brother."

It's not surprising that Yuyu thinks so. The concept of being in the same family has been rooted in the bones of Chinese people since ancient times.

Wang Zhong said: "Do you think Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e are a good match?"

Yuyu was stunned by Wang Zhong's question. Although he was puzzled, he still shook his head.

Wang Zhongdao: "Since the family is not the right one, then why did Lou Xiaoe's parents marry Lou Xiaoe to Xu Damao? Do they think Xu Damao has a bright future as a projectionist?"

"What's that for?" Yuyu asked puzzledly.

Wang Zhongdao: "Because the concept of being well-matched is not suitable for now..."

After Wang Zhong finished speaking, Yuyu listened thoughtfully.

"So, you don't have to worry about your brother not being worthy of Teacher Ran. On the contrary, if Teacher Ran marries your brother, it will help her." The current environment is like this, with big houses and scholarly families. , princes and nobles are not as good as workers and farmers.

Qin Huairu was busy in the kitchen, listening to the conversation between the two, and had no intention of interrupting, but no one knew what she was thinking.

The next morning, Wang Zhong took He Yuyu to the factory as usual.

On the way, Wang Zhong said: "Yu Yu, what do you think of Qin Huairu?"

"Sister Qin is a good person!" Yuyu said, "Strong and brave, she is much stronger than me."

"If Qin Huairu wants to marry your brother and become your sister-in-law, will you agree?" Wang Zhong's question was so abrupt that Yuyu didn't react for a moment. After being stunned for a while, he said: "Brother Wang Zhong, just Stop joking with me, how could Sister Qin like my brother?"

"Suppose, what does she think?" Wang Zhong said.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Yuyu was very puzzled.

Wang Zhongdao: "Hypothesis! Tell me what you think."

If anyone else had asked, Yuyu would probably not bother to pay attention, but it was Wang Zhong who asked.

He Yuyu hesitated for a while and then said: "Actually, I quite like Sister Qin. If she could be my sister-in-law, I would agree."

Wang Zhong asked: "But she has a mother-in-law and three children. If she marries your brother, your brother will have to help her raise her children and support her mother-in-law. Wouldn't you mind?"

Yu Yu thought for a while and then said: "I shouldn't mind! Banggan is a pretty good kid, Xiaodang and Huaihua are also cute. As for Aunt Jia..."

Speaking of Jia Zhang, Yu Yu suddenly stopped.

"Then have you ever thought about how your brother will live in the future? Qin Huairu has three children and a mother-in-law. The living expenses alone are a lot of money. In the future, the three children will go to school and study, and they will have basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. When they grow up, they will also marry When a daughter-in-law gets married, all these things cost money.”

"Your brother will definitely have a child of his own, and the burden on the family will definitely be heavier by then. Have you considered this?"

Yuyu said, "As long as my brother likes it, I will support it."

Wang Dian nodded and said nothing more.

Rainwater, on the other hand, seemed to notice something from Wang Zhong's words. After a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wang Zhong, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"I just want to see if our views on this matter are different!" Wang Zhong said this calmly, as if nothing had happened.

But Yu Yu, who was sitting in the back seat, was shocked when he heard: "Brother Wang Zhong, am I right?"

"There's nothing wrong!" Wang Zhong said.

But Yuyu couldn't help but feel uneasy, and asked again: "Brother Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Zhong did not hide it and said directly: "If it were my brother, I would never agree to him marrying a widow with so many burdens."

"Why?" He Yuyu asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing, it's just that if it's my brother, I just hope that he will live a simpler and easier life in the future."

Wang Zhong didn't say too much, because even if he said too much, He Yueyue might not be able to understand it. This was a fundamental issue of three perspectives.

Yuyu said nothing more, lowered his head, wondering what was going on in his mind.

Wang Zhong didn't ask any questions and rode his bike straight towards the steel rolling mill.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

The streets and alleys are full of dolls playing wildly with firecrackers, and every household has posted couplets. They have started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner early, and everyone has a smile on their face.

It's snowing outside and the north wind is howling, but it can't stop the children from playing wildly outside.

Wang Zhong went to Chaoyang Vegetable Market early in the morning and bought two chickens, cut two kilograms of pork belly, and took out five kilograms of divided beef from the space, as well as many ingredients and side dishes.

When I got home, I killed a chicken first, cut the beef into stuffing, chopped green onions and celery, and evened it out. A small half of the beef and green onion stuffing was used to make steamed buns, and the rest was made into dumplings and left out at night. The dumplings were naturally frozen overnight after being cooked for the first time, so there was no need for a refrigerator.

In fact, He Yuyu came over to invite him as early as yesterday. He said that it was this year's New Year's Eve dinner. They planned to have several families gather together. It would still be the elder's family, plus the deaf old lady in the backyard, the old He family and the Jia family. After all, Wang Zhong was alone, and his hometown was too far away, so Yuyu came here specially to invite Wang Zhong to join them.

But this time Wang Zhong did not agree.

Before it gets dark, the smell of food can be heard in every house, and the children who are playing wildly on the street are also attracted by this smell to go home.

Wang Zhong's family probably had the latest dinner in the entire courtyard. It was almost getting dark before Wang Zhong brought the wild mushroom stewed chicken in a casserole to the table, a plate of dumplings stuffed with beef and green onions, and a large bowl of steamed rice. , a bowl of kimchi freshly taken out of the jar, and a small bowl of beef sauce with minced garlic and chili hot oil for dipping.

There is also a plate of washed cabbage hearts, bean sprouts and mustard greens on the table.

Wang Zhong took out two more bottles of Fenjiu from the space, placed the wine glasses on them, and started eating by himself.

Beef sauce and kimchi are placed on the rice. The vegetables are rinsed in a rolling casserole, and then dipped in the dipping sauce made of beef sauce. The taste is amazing.

During the Chinese New Year, basically every household used the meat tickets they had saved up on weekdays to buy a few kilograms of meat, stir-fry, stew, or make dumplings, and enjoy it as a family.

But there is no one as extravagant as Wang Zhong in the entire courtyard. Even Xu Damao, who always boasts that his family has the best conditions, can only stew a chicken and make dumplings. How can he be like Wang Zhong? , if such good pork belly is not used to extract oil, it is all stewed into braised pork. Isn’t this a waste?

Wang Zhong was drinking a small drink and eating vigorously when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Wang Zhong, it's me, Sister Qin!"

The person who knocked on the door was none other than Qin Huairu.
