"Wu Qian, where do you work?" Qiao Chunyan asked Wu Qian. She has strong communication skills. She not only remembered chatting with Zheng Juan, but also did not ignore Wu Qian when they met for the first time.
In this aspect, Qiao Chunyan performed much better than Zheng Juan.
"I work as a waiter at Chaoyang Hotel." Wu Qian said as if she was not good at talking and was shy because of many strangers.
Wu Qian was arrogant and unpopular with her words. She could say she was not good at talking, but she pretended to be shy and did not dare to speak, which shocked Zhou Bingkun.
It's not that people don't like talking. Wu Qian is a very talkative person. She keeps talking all day long and never has time to spare. She is really a drama queen.
Now I am pretending to be a lady, but the contrast is too great.
"It's good to work in a hotel. Anyone who goes to a restaurant to eat must not be polite to you. What I don't like the most is going to a restaurant to eat. Every one of the employees in the hotel looks like they are worth 2,500 to 80,000 yuan.
"Zhou Bingkun looked at Wu Qian and said, somewhat mockingly, trying to test Wu Qian's meaning.
Wu Qian's outspokenness became more and more powerful in the future. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with her job as a hotel waiter.
Before the market economy, service personnel who worked in service jobs were very good.
Places such as supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores, and restaurants all have slogans about not beating or insulting customers at will.
It is enough to explain the usual style of these service personnel.
Although beating and scolding customers rarely happen after putting up slogans, it is normal for restaurants to refuse to cook and waiters to refuse service if there is a disagreement.
So when you go to a restaurant to eat, you must have a good attitude towards the waiters who greet customers outside.
This will definitely fuel Wu Qian's arrogance, and she will not pay attention to the occasion and the person she speaks to.
"Really, you can go to our hotel for dinner in the future, just come find me then." Wu Qian whispered back awkwardly, but to Zhou Bingkun's surprise, she didn't reply.
Later in the chat, Zhou Bingkun mocked Wu Qian in a subtle way several times. I don’t know if Wu Qian didn’t understand or was just pretending.
He always speaks in a gentle voice, but his strong personality and his problem of not speaking his mind are not exposed.
A few people ate, drank, and chatted, and the party didn't end until after ten o'clock.
Xiao Guoqing was celebrating the Chinese New Year, so he took Wu Qian to play at a friend's house and didn't send her home until after ten o'clock.
It was obvious that the two of them had reached the stage of discussing marriage.
Sun caught up with a big man and didn't drink too much. He just went home by himself.
Zhou Bingkun sent Qiao Chunyan home, and then picked up Li Suhua from Qiao's house.
When Li Suhua went out, she didn't take a flashlight, but it was still necessary to pick it up.
The light letters were originally for street lights, but because there were always a few low-quality residents, they took apart the street light bulbs and put them back on their own.
When the light bulb is replaced, it is thrown away, and when it is replaced, it is thrown away. No one cares about the street lights with light bulbs.
It can be seen from this that no girl wants to marry into Guangzipian. This is not only because Guangzipian is poor, but also because the overall quality of residents in Guangzipian is not as good as that of residents in other places.
On the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month, Zhou Bingkun took a serious two-day rest. On the sixth day of the lunar month, the lumber factory started working again.
During this period, the work in the wood processing factory is not very busy, but there is no shortage of work.
The lumber and boards produced by the wood processing factory are easily marketable and can be supplied to provincial furniture factories at designated locations.
This one big customer is enough to support the wood processing factory.
"National Day."
On the first day of work after the New Year, after checking all the lines in the factory, Zhou Bingkun came to the transportation department to look for National Day.
"Hey...Bingkun."
"Don't check this shabby car yet. Let's go and have a cigarette and have a rest."
These days, being a driver is not that easy. To be a good driver, you not only need to be able to drive, but more importantly, you must be able to repair cars.
At the very least, you must have the ability to drive the truck back after an ordinary, common problem with the truck before you are allowed to drive it on the road.
Xiao Guoqing has not been transferred to the transportation department for a long time. During this time, he has been learning how to repair cars from the experienced driver master.
They walked to a secluded place, and after the two of them lit cigarettes, Zhou Bingkun asked, "How is your relationship going with your partner?"
"It's good. Our family is very satisfied with her, and their family is also satisfied with me. When the weather gets warmer, we will prepare to get married."
When Wu Qian was mentioned, Xiao Guoqing smiled and looked really satisfied with Wu Qian.
"Your partner was here last time, so I didn't have time to ask you how you met, how long you've known each other, and why have you both met your parents?"
"We met through a blind date introduced by relatives. It's been a month since she came to my house during the Chinese New Year, and I also went to her house."
"You are progressing too fast. In a month, you have only met a few times, and the matter has been decided. Didn't I remind you that when you are looking for a partner, you need to spend more time with the person?"
Although Zhou Bingkun had reminded Xiao Guoqing before, he still ignored the attraction of a young girl to Xiao Guoqing, a single man like Xiao Guoqing who had been single for twenty years.
"We've been together for a long time. I didn't tell you or Qianchao, but Wu Qian and I have met several times before and even went out together several times."
When Xiao Guoqing found a partner, he was like many people during this period. He was engaged in underground work. Before there was any development, the date was kept hidden from others.
"Your partner works as a waiter in a hotel. Why don't you think more about it? Think about it carefully. Some of the waiters who work in restaurants have good tempers."
"With my family's current conditions, it would be great if I could meet a girl who doesn't ask for so much and is willing to marry me."
"What are your family's conditions? Now you have been transferred to the transportation department to work as a driver. Are your conditions not good enough?" Zhou Bingkun asked.
"Our family has no money now. The wedding money our family saved for me was all used to change my job. Even if I become a driver now, it will take at least a few years for me to save a few hundred yuan. I can't wait a few years.
Let’s get married in the next year.”
"Then you don't have to spend so much money to get married to Wu Qian?"
"Wu Qian's family doesn't ask for much in terms of betrothal gifts, and they don't ask for much in terms of furniture and furniture. My father and I can save a few months' wages, which will be enough for me to get married."
"Then don't think about it. Other girls ask for so much when they get married. Why don't Wu Qian's family want it?"
Zhou Bingkun said to Xiao Guoqing, Wu Qian is such a greedy person, and if she is not greedy when she gets married, it shows that there is something wrong.
Zhou Bingkun also remembered that because of Wu Qian's hormone disorder, a girl with a long beard had to shave every day before going out. This is definitely a big flaw.
Because of this problem, Wu Qian can be said to be difficult to marry.
In order to be able to get married, there is a reason to lower some conditions.
"I know the reason, but it's hard to tell you. Don't worry, Bingkun, Wu Qian is not because of her character or character. I think people are thief, Wu Qian will be a good wife. And, now
There is no room for regret anymore.”
Xiao Guoqing can be considered a tough guy, and he was blushing at this moment. There is no room for regret, he is so spiritual.
Zhou Bingkun even suspected that Wu Qian took a fancy to all aspects of Guoqing's conditions and took the initiative to take down Xiao Guoqing with Xiao Guoqing's mistakes.
"Xiao Guoqing, I always thought you were an honest person." Zhou Bingkun was speechless looking at Xiao Guoqing: "I can only congratulate you now, right?"
In this day and age, it is not fashionable to refuse to accept the blame. If two people really do what adults do, the marriage is basically dead.
"Hey, hey." Xiao Guoqing smiled stupidly.
"I hope you can always smile so happily in the future." Zhou Bingkun muttered and left the territory of the Transportation Department.
Unable to change the result of Xiao Guoqing marrying Wu Qian, Zhou Bingkun could only wish Xiao Guoqing well.
I hope that Xiao Guoqing can have a job as a driver, have a higher family status, and be able to control Wu Qian more.
…
"Bingkun, National Day, do you want to have a drink together after get off work?" The three of them said after get off work on Saturday afternoon as they rode their bicycles back together.
It is true that the weather in the Northeast is cold, and drinking some wine will make people feel warmer. Moreover, if you are doing physical labor, drinking some wine will relieve your fatigue.
It has become a habit for the three of us to drink some wine together when we have nothing to do after get off work.
"Then I'll have to go home first."
"Let's give it another day. I'm going to pick Wu Qian up from get off work."
"Okay, you all go and get busy. Originally there were only brothers, but now that they are married and have a partner, the brothers can only wait in the back row." Qianchao said.
Regardless of whether Wu Qian is good or not, it is a happy event for Xiao Guoqing to marry a daughter-in-law.
The worst thing is that they are catching up. Among the three people in the lumber factory light-type film, Zhou Bingkun is getting married, and the National Day is getting closer.
Singles can only catch up, and usually speak sourly to two people.
"This is a bit sour. I hope that after you get married, you can put your brothers first," Zhou Bingkun said.
"Blame me, blame me. When it's noon tomorrow, I'll invite you to the restaurant where Wu Qian works for a drink."
Although Xiao Guoqing is relatively short of money recently, he is still not stingy in his work.
"There's no need. You don't need to go to a restaurant. Just drink at home." Qianchao said, looking like a man who lives his life.
Although I am very envious of Zhou Bingkun and Guo Qing for being able to marry a wife early, I am a little jealous and may feel bitter, but I definitely don’t hate them.
"Then it's settled, come to my house at noon tomorrow, I'll take care of the food, and you'll take care of the wine on National Day."
After chatting here, we arrived at Zhou Bingkun's house at the street corner.
Food was relatively precious, so Zhou Bingkun suggested that he go out and take care of the two of them. Zhou Bingkun also tried his best to take care of them, and he also paid attention to propriety, so as not to make the two of them greedy.
…
As soon as Zhou Bingkun entered the room, Zheng Juan said: "Bingkun, there is a letter from sister."
Although Zhou Bingkun has no respect for Zhou Rong, Zheng Juan still has instinctive respect for Zhou Rong, her eldest aunt.
"It's just a letter. Have you read it to mom?" Zhou Bingkun said casually.
Zhou Bingkun did not have any expectations for the content of Zhou Rongxin.
To read the prose sent back by Zhou Rong, it would be better for Zhou Bingkun to just buy a magazine like Jichun Literature.
The articles in a magazine are of higher quality than the letters Zhou Rong sent back several years ago.
"No, mom said we'll watch it together when you get back."
Although Zheng Juan only has a primary school education, she can still read a letter to Li Suhua.
But Li Suhua still has a sense of ritual. Every time Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Rong, and Zhou Bingyi send letters back, they wait for Zhou Bingkun to come back.
"Bingkun, come in quickly and see what your sister said in her letter?"
After hearing Zhou Bingkun's voice, Li Suhua began to call for people in the back room.
After Zhou Bingkun entered the back room, he took the letter from Li Suhua and opened it: "This should be a letter sent by Zhou Rong years ago, saying that my father went to Guizhou to visit her."
After looking at the time Zhou Rong wrote, Zhou Bingkun was even more certain that Zhou Rong's heartfelt letter was sent to the post office and sent a telegram at the same time years ago.
This time the letter took more than 20 days to arrive in Jichun. It must be because the post office was closed during the Chinese New Year holiday.
"How about the two of them meeting?"
"It's very good. The love between father and daughter is so deep that I was moved to tears. They are reconciled as before and are better than before."
Li Suhua slapped Zhou Bingkun on the arm, and then said: "Don't process it privately, just read it as written in the letter."
"Okay, I'll read it to you according to what Zhou Rong wrote... My father suddenly appeared and almost scared Zhou Rong. Then the old man forgave Zhou Rong and brought money, flour, bacon, etc. to Zhou Rong.
Rubber shoes, soap, and a dog. What do you think the old man should bring? Bring a dog. Does Zhou Rong have the ability to raise a dog? "
The letter written by Zhou Rong still needs some explanation from Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Zhigang's trip here was a great replenishment for Zhou Rong.
"Your sister said in her letter that Feng Huacheng met your father. What happened?"
"We had a great conversation, but we met late. My father still liked this little brother-in-law who was not much younger than him. He recognized Feng Huacheng as his son-in-law. My father-in-law looked at his son-in-law, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
The old man got so excited that he accompanied his son-in-law to spend the Spring Festival in Guizhou."
"That's great. It's good if your dad recognizes him. Your dad has already investigated him, which means that this Feng Huacheng should be a good person." Li Suhua said excitedly, patting his leg.
"A good man, an absolutely good man, has been sent to a remote mountain village. He is still thinking about a girl thousands of miles away. He is so enthusiastic. He is definitely a good man."
In Zhou Bingkun's opinion, Feng Huacheng is really not a good person. But marrying someone like Zhou Rong is a perfect match.
Especially in terms of selfishness and unfilial piety, the two of them are truly a family.
Being able to become a couple proves that two people are highly compatible in their thinking.
When Zhou Rong grew up, she abandoned her father and mother and ran away with a man.
Feng Huacheng was no less generous. The reason for his parents' early death was that Feng Huacheng was raised by his uncle.
But his uncle sent Feng Huacheng to college, and Feng Huacheng became able to survive on his own.
Feng Huacheng began to say that his uncle was not good, he would not visit his uncle's house, and he would not recognize his uncle.
When Feng Huacheng was in college, just a few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Bingkun had never heard that he sent his nephew to college because he was not good to him.
"Then you are my brother-in-law, why are you so yin and yang?" After Zhou Zhigang approved, Li Suhua also approved of Feng Huacheng.
