Chapter 157 Qin Huairu as Matchmaker
In the following period, He Lin worked with the technicians from the technical department and Zhang Wenshan to prepare for the production of speed bicycles every day. After working overtime for several days, they finally prepared all the main equipment.
The remaining connection work will be handed over to the following personnel.
He Lin has finally experienced the 996 of the future these days. It turns out that if capitalists want to obtain high profits, they must exploit the sweat of the workers.
However, the other technicians who have been working overtime with He Lin are still in high spirits. They don't feel tired at all and are eager to work two more days.
The main reason is that He Lin gave too much.
If each person works an extra three hours a day, they will be given an extra pound of pork as a welfare benefit, and it will be distributed on the spot. This good thing can't be found anywhere else.
Every day he would carry a piece of pork belly home, throw it on the chopping board, and wait for the women to come and serve him food and drinks. His demeanor and expression were so impressive that even his back was stiff.
The main preparatory work has been completed, and we are just waiting for the approval process from the Ministry of Industry. He Lin also left work early, and he should fish when it is time to fish, combining work and rest without delay.
First go to Sijiucheng Medical College to pick up Yang Xue, and then go back to Siheyuan together. He Lin plans to take advantage of this rare opportunity to have a hotpot.
The coldest season has passed, and it is impossible for the mutton to freeze naturally due to the weather. Fortunately, the mutton is all high-quality produced by the system. The freshly cut mutton is also very tender and the taste is not much worse than that of mutton rolls.
"Brother Lin, the street office issued a notice for the regularization exam today. I have to prepare in advance. I will ask Xiaoxue to help me review after dinner."
"That's a good thing. Just relax and perform normally and you'll pass."
In fact, He Lin had known about the regularization exam for a long time. He received a call from Director Wang while at work a few days ago. There were two passing vacancies in total. The subdistrict office could control one of them, and the other needed to be selected through an exam.
In order to reduce Yu Li's psychological burden, He Lin did not tell her in advance that based on Yu Li's academic and work performance, it was very likely that she would pass the exam and get the regular position.
Even if I don't get a place in the exam, I can still get another place thanks to my relationship with Director Wang.
During this period, the relationship between Liu Guangtian and Qin Jingru made rapid progress.
Material things are the foundation of life. With the logistical support provided by the second uncle, Liu Guangtian is no longer a silly boy. He coaxes Qin Jingru around with all kinds of snacks, and they have reached the stage of discussing marriage.
"Jingru, we don't have a matchmaker. I'll ask my dad to accompany me to your hometown in the next few days to discuss the marriage with your parents. What do you think?"
"What else can I do? You are the one who makes the decision."
Qin Jingru was filled with joy and told the news to Qin Huairu as soon as she got home, which scared the laundry lady to death.
The ducks I raised are about to fly away, and they are flying to the house of my second uncle who is not on good terms with my family. What should I do?
"Jingru, you have to think it over carefully. Marriage is a major event in a woman's life. You can't make a decision so easily. Think about it again."
"Sister, I've already thought about it. Guangtian is a good person. Although the second uncle looks scary, he has a good heart. He even gave Guangtian some money to buy me delicious food."
"Hey, little girl, why are you so ignorant? This is before marriage, they must treat you like a Buddha. Who will care about you after marriage? I will go to the second uncle's house first and check for you. You just need to listen to your sister in any situation."
Qin Jingru was not very happy, but for her cousin's sake, she couldn't say anything. She said, "Just go. The Liu family doesn't have a good relationship with you anyway, and they will definitely not indulge your bad habits. I will go and be a good person after you get humiliated."
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." After staying in the Jia family for a period of time, the originally simple Qin Jingru has become quite cunning. Even for the half piece of steamed bread she eats, she has to play tricks with the stick, otherwise it will definitely not make it into her mouth.
The two sisters are very cunning and both want to use each other to gain benefits for themselves.
Just after finishing her meal, Qin Jingru pretended to have a stomachache and ran out to the toilet. She was gone for more than half an hour, leaving Qin Huairu aside.
We had originally agreed to go to the second uncle's house together, but now Laundry Girl has to go alone.
Liu Guangtian is reporting today's love affairs to his father in order to get funding for tomorrow's activities.
He has already taken a lot of money from his father recently. Except for the ten yuan he spent with Qin Jingru, the rest went into his own little treasury. Liu Guangtian seemed to have discovered a new world. This made money much faster than working.
After a knock on the door, Qin Huairu entered the second uncle's house.
"Has Second Master eaten dinner?"
"Qin Huairu, what are you doing here? If I haven't eaten, can you still treat me to a meal?"
"Hey, Guangtian and Jingru's affairs are almost settled. We will be a family in the future. It won't be a big deal for me to treat you to a meal."
Qin Huairu laughed and thought to herself, I've never invited anyone to dinner in my life, so just wait.
"Come on, stop trying to get close to me. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Since the Second Master has spoken, I'll be frank. Seeing that Guangtian and Jingru are getting along better and better, I'm also very happy. They're almost at the stage of discussing marriage, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with."
Having said that, the second uncle of course understood what Qin Huairu meant. She was trying to blackmail me.
"When I have some free time in a few days, I will take Guangtian to Jingru's house to propose marriage. You don't need to worry about other things."
"Second uncle, let's get this straight. You're going to Qinjia Village directly, where you're unfamiliar with the place, and neither side knows each other. It'll cost you a lot of money to get things done. Why don't you leave it to me? I'll be responsible for getting the two of you married, and it won't cost much. I'll just ask for 10 yuan for my hard work. What do you think?"
Liu Haizhong didn't trust Qin Huairu at first, but he didn't expect that she would treat this matter as a business. Since it was a business, it had to be negotiated. What's more, what Qin Huairu said made sense. If he rashly proposed marriage, it would probably cost a lot of money.
Later, the two reached an agreement that the Liu family would provide a 20-yuan betrothal gift, plus three tables of banquets for the bride's family, and all other wedding items, such as clothes and bedding, would be prepared at normal levels.
As for Qin Huairu's hard-earned money, it was reduced to 5 yuan, but she had to be given a matchmaker gift.
When Qin Jingru came back from the bathroom, she found out that the Liu family had actually agreed to her cousin's request. However, 5 yuan and the matchmaker's gift were not much, so she had no choice but to do so.
But they didn't expect that this was just a simple beginning.
