At this time, Wang Jiayuan opened the door and ran in. When she saw Li Chu, she ran over and hugged Li Chu's leg: "Uncle, uncle, I miss you."
"You little girl, I think you don't miss me anymore, you just miss delicious food." Li Chu smiled and rubbed his niece's hair.
Wang Jiayuan chuckled.
Wang Jiadong also walked in behind him, "Uncle, you are here."
"Well, Jiadong, take your sister over there and wash your hands, and we'll have dinner in a while. Uncle brought a pack of white rabbit, and I'll ask mom to get it for you after dinner."
After dinner, Li Chu went back. Before leaving, he promised his sister that he would take time to bring Ding Qiunan home as soon as possible.
Ding Qiunan is taking the shuttle bus home. The place where their family lives is also a large courtyard. The two rooms in the house are not as big as Li Chu's house, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, Ding Qiunan always lives in the factory's single dormitory after work.
In the yard, Ding Qiunan's mother was sitting in the shade at the door of her house, doing needlework, and chatting with several other aunts nearby about the family's shortcomings.
Her father and several co-workers gathered on the other side to play chess in a place out of the sun.
As soon as Ding Qiunan entered the courtyard, he was seen by people in the courtyard.
"Hey, this is Qiu Nan coming back. Good guy, he even took such a big piece of meat."
"Hey, I'm back. Auntie, you guys are busy. I'll go back and wash my face. It's so hot when you come here."
When Mother Ding saw her daughter coming back, she put down what she was doing and came over to welcome her. She took the meat from her daughter and thought, oh, it's so heavy, it weighs ten kilograms.
As she walked home, she shouted: "Her father, my daughter is back."
Ding’s father stopped playing chess, and walked back to the people next to him: “I saw it, it’s coming, it’s coming.”
As soon as the three of them entered the house, the aunt started muttering.
"Why? It's such a big piece of meat."
"Isn't this Qiunan going to further his studies?"
"That's right, where do you get the money to buy that much meat?"
Several people looked at each other and felt that there was something to eat!
After entering the house, Ding Qiunan took off the bag he was carrying, took out the cloth Li Chu had brought from the bag, put it on the table, picked up the big vat on the table and started drinking water.
Ding's mother looked at the meat on her hands and the cloth on the table, then turned to look at her man. Ding's father also happened to look at her. The two looked at each other, something was wrong! Where did these things come from? My daughter didn't.
Money buys these things.
Ding Ma asked: "Qiu Nan, what's going on? Where did you get this thing from?"
Father Ding said nothing and looked at his daughter, waiting for her to explain.
Ding Qiunan drank most of the tank of water and finally felt better. He put down the tank and said, "Mom and Dad, it's like this. I went to study and met a partner in the hospital. He knew that I was coming back and asked me to bring these things back.
.”
Ding Qiunan said it openly.
The old couple was stunned when they heard this.
When I was at home, there were so many matchmakers introducing potential partners, but my daughter didn't like any of them, which made the couple worried. How could they have found a partner just three months after going out to study.
Mother Ding put the meat on the table, took her daughter's hand and sat down, asking: "Didn't you go to further study? Why are you dating a partner? What unit does he belong to?"
Father Ding also sat down, and he didn't say anything, just listened to the two women quietly.
"He is the doctor at the hospital where I went to study this time. He also took me as a doctor. His name is Li Chu."
Ding's mother's eyes widened when she heard this: "Take your doctor? How old is this?"
Dad Ding became anxious when he heard this: "You are too old for this, I don't agree." It's not like his daughter can't get married, so why not find someone older?
"Oh, parents, please listen to what I have to say."
"Okay, okay, you say, you say, you have to tell me one, two, three today."
"How old is he? He is only 25 this year and he is a college graduate."
Just as he was talking, the door curtain was opened and no one came in before the sound came: "Sister, sister, am I going to have a brother-in-law?"
Ding Qiunan's younger brother Ding Jianguo is back. A name that is very characteristic of the times. You can tell the year he was born when you hear it.
Ding Jianguo was followed by an aunt from the courtyard. Just as he was about to come in, he heard what Ding Qiunan said.
After hearing this, I felt sour in my heart. I looked at my daughter and found a college student. Then I thought about my poor son-in-law. I curled my lips and refused to go in. I turned around and left.
As soon as Ding Jianguo ran in, he saw such a big piece of meat on the table. His mouth watered. He forgot what he asked and shouted, "Mom, can we eat meat at noon?"
Ma Ding slapped him on the butt: "Go, you will be there everywhere, don't interrupt."
Ding Jianguo rubbed his butt aggrievedly, but his eyes still didn't leave the piece of meat.
When Dad Ding heard that he was only 25 years old and still a college student, he felt relieved and stopped yelling no.
Ding's mother also had a smile on her face and continued to ask: "Where does his family come from? How many people are there in his family?"
"His home is not far from the hospital. His parents died a few years ago. He also has a sister, but she is already married."
When Ding's mother heard that her parents had sacrificed, the smile on her face dropped. This sacrifice was not just a casual talk, "What's the situation with his parents?"
Ding Qiunan shook his head: "He didn't go into details."
Ding's mother wanted to ask something else, but Ding's father said: "Okay, we'll talk about it later, hurry up and cook. She has to leave in the afternoon after dinner, otherwise she won't be able to catch the car."
Upon hearing this, Ding's mother glared at her husband: "Don't I care about my daughter?" After saying that, she took the meat and cloth and stood up. She first put the cloth away, and then took the meat to prepare for cooking.
Ding Jianguo saw that his mother was about to cook: "Mom, make more meat."
Ding Ma ignored him.
Ding's father lit a cigarette: "Nannan, you have always been more upright. Since you have taken a liking to me, Dad won't say much, but you two can't just be together without knowing it. When are you going to get married?"
Did he bring him home?"
"Dad, when I came back this time, he asked me to ask if it would be convenient for me to come over during my break next week."
"Convenient, of course it is convenient." A smile appeared on Ding's father's face. He could take the initiative to ask to come to the house to have a look, and also asked his daughter to come back in advance to say hello. This boy is very polite!
Ding's father is becoming more and more satisfied with this future son-in-law whom he has not met yet.
