Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

The matchmaker, Zhang, had already arranged everything with her; she would go to the city for a blind date the next day, and she had also informed her parents.

The next morning.

She was all dressed up.

Matchmaker Zhang sent word that the man had something to attend to and the blind date had to be postponed.

For two consecutive days.

Negative rumors began to circulate in the village.

They said the man didn't like Qin Huairu at all, that postponing the blind date was just a euphemism for canceling it, and that Qin Huairu's dream of moving to the city was wishful thinking.

"Xiao Qin, I know you've been wronged."

"I assure you, it really was just an accident!"

"I had no choice. The man had something come up and had to postpone it. So, I'm here to pick you up for your blind date in Beijing."

Matchmaker Zhang had a big smile on her face.

She is eloquent.

He quickly persuaded Qin Huairu to put aside past grievances and go to the city with her for a blind date.

The two soon arrived in Beijing.

Heading straight to the Hongxing Courtyard!

Chapter 65 Qin Huairu arrives at the courtyard house, and Sha Zhu's path of licking his boots begins.

As Qin Huairu and Zhang the matchmaker rushed to the courtyard, a rumbling sound came from behind them. Zhang the matchmaker pulled Qin Huairu aside.

Followed by.

A huge creature passed by the two of them.

It was a heavy truck. As it passed by the two of them, its massive size and roaring engine left Qin Huairu speechless.

"You haven't seen it?"

"This is the steel rolling mill's transport fleet."

"Only large factories like steel rolling mills can have a fleet of vehicles, with each vehicle carrying tens of tons of supplies each time."

As the matchmaker and the convoy passed by, they saw Qin Huairu's shocked expression.

very satisfied!

"I've heard of steel rolling mills, and I've heard the wages are very high?"

Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with longing.

"It must be high!"

“Your blind date, Jia Dongxu, has a father who works at a steel rolling mill. He is a level four fitter and earns fifty-one yuan a month.”

"With some welfare subsidies, I can get at least fifty-five yuan a month."

“Their family consists of three people, plus you, making it four people in total. On average, each person receives twelve or thirteen yuan a month.”

"If you can marry into the Jia family, you can expect to enjoy a life of luxury!"

Matchmaker Zhang vigorously promoted Jia Dongxu.

"Does Jia Dongxu not have a job?"

Qin Huairu frowned slightly.

"You don't have to worry about that."

“In the future, he will definitely follow in his father’s footsteps and work at the steel mill.”

"If you marry into the Jia family and give birth to a few healthy sons, you'll gain status through your sons, and your position in the family will be secure."

When Zhang the matchmaker was promoting Jia Dongxu.

The image of Jia Zhangshi flashed into my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a chill.

With such a wicked mother-in-law, no matter which girl marries into the Jia family, she will definitely not have a good life.

But she was a matchmaker.

A matchmaker with no moral compass.

They only say the good things and never the bad, since matchmaking is a one-off deal anyway.

In the 1950s, there was a policy on divorce, but very few people divorced. In most cases, a person only got married once in their lifetime.

No need to worry about repeat customers!

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up.

She dreamed of going to the city and living the life of a city dweller.

The Jia family of three has a monthly income of over fifty, which makes her very satisfied, but she is also a little uneasy. Will Jia Dongxu be interested in her?

After all, Jia Dongxu is from the city and comes from a well-off family.

She's just a country bumpkin!

at this time.

Siheyuan.

The Jia family is also busy.

"Old Jia, why is there so much dust when you sprinkle some water while sweeping?"

"Dongxu, please clean the glass."

"Old Jia..."

"Dongxu..."

The Jia family is doing a thorough cleaning.

Jia Gensheng, Jia Dongxu, and Jia Zhangshi were all being manipulated.

Every time the Jia family does a major cleaning, it's a collective effort, but with a division of labor: Jia Zhangshi is the general manager, and Jia Dongxu and Jia Gensheng are the executors.

The commander-in-chief, of course, doesn't need to do any physical labor; he only needs to talk.

"Mom, I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted, let me rest for a while!"

Jia Dongxu protested.

His leg is still not fully healed, and he needs to use a cane to walk.

"It's you who's on a blind date, not me."

"You don't have to look. When your boyfriend comes, just let him see how messy our house is. See if he still likes you then?"

Jia Zhangshi's triangular eyes widened.

"Yes, we can't let her see the house in such a mess."

Jia Dongxu was instantly full of energy.

Cleaning up is all in preparation for welcoming Qin Huairu.

However, up to now, he only knows one name. As for what the person looks like, he has only heard the matchmaker describe her as "the most beautiful woman in the surrounding area."

"Mom, why hasn't Matchmaker Zhang brought the person yet?"

Finished cleaning up.

Jia Dongxu was getting a little anxious.

"No hurries?"

"More haste less speed."

"Don't worry, I warned the matchmaker that if this blind date doesn't work out, she has to return the money, and she definitely doesn't want to."

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly.

She felt a surge of anger whenever she thought of Zhang the matchmaker.

Matchmaker Zhang demanded a two-yuan introduction fee, but she only wanted to give one yuan. Matchmaker Zhang refused to agree no matter what, saying she wouldn't help with the introduction if she didn't receive the money.

"How could you tell the matchmaker you'd get a refund?"

Jia Gensheng complained about Jia Zhangshi.

If you offend the matchmaker, will she still be able to introduce you to suitable partners?

I'm afraid all they'll get are misshapen fruits and jujubes!

Jia Gensheng had lost confidence in Jia Dongxu's blind date.

Jia Zhangshi is too much of a troublemaker.

However, when facing Jia Zhangshi, he dared not say anything too harsh. Even though he was full of resentment, he only dared to say a few words that were neither too light nor too heavy.

In the courtyard, he was known for being afraid of his wife.

In front of the neighbors, Jia Zhangshi never gave him any face.
