Chapter 70 Hard-working Jia Dongxu
He Yuzhu was just about to continue walking forward with Xu Huizhen when he heard someone calling him. He couldn't help but brake and turned his head to look. He saw Xu Damao and his master fiddling with the movie projection equipment in an open space not far away.
Yes, at this time Xu Damao was less than fifteen years old, still a young boy, but he had sharp eyes and noticed He Yuzhu while he was working.
"Da Mao, this is the person my family introduced to me, you go and get busy first!"
Seeing that it was Xu Damao, He Yuzhu smiled and continued walking.
He and Xu Damao grew up in the same courtyard, and he would bully Xu Damao, so they were natural enemies. However, when they were free, they would greet each other politely.
"Hey, this silly Zhu, just bought a bicycle and now has a girlfriend, who is really good-looking!"
Looking at the backs of He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen as they left, Xu Damao's big eyes were full of envy.
He Yuzhu now has a bicycle, a partner, and even a separate room, but he has nothing.
I'm almost fifteen years old and still have to live with my parents.
"No, I have to work hard too. I need to buy a bicycle soon. Otherwise, how can I find a girl?"
Xu Damao was secretly calculating in his mind.
Now he is just beginning to fall in love and can't walk when he sees a pretty girl.
"Zhu Zi, why does he call you Sha Zhu? I don't think you are stupid at all!"
On the bicycle, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hey, nothing..."
He Yuzhu's old face turned red when he heard this.
But he didn't hide it.
"This was when I was a kid, maybe eight or nine years old. I was selling steamed buns on the street, and there was chaos and turmoil at the time. Two soldiers came over and tried to snatch my steamed buns. I refused to give them to them, so I ran out with a basket of steamed buns in my arms."
"I ran all the way to Dongzhimen, and didn't see any soldiers chasing me, so I breathed a sigh of relief. Coincidentally, a businessman took a fancy to my buns, and bought them all with a lot of money."
"I happily took the money home and gave it to my father. But when he opened it, he found that it was all counterfeit. He called me a fool at the time, and then the neighbors heard it and kept calling me a fool..."
Xu Huizhen couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "I didn't expect you to have so much experience."
Yes, these years have been full of war and chaos, and it has only been two years of peace.
However, Xu Huizhen admired He Yuzhu's courage. After all, those soldiers were more brutal than each other.
The two of them were talking and laughing, and as they talked more and more, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
However, what He Yuzhu didn't notice was that when he passed by a place, he happened to meet Jia Dongxu who was going home from get off work.
Jia Dongxu was stunned by the charming Xu Huizhen sitting in the back seat of He Yuzhu.
For some reason, he thought of his beloved Xu Huizhi.
Scenes from the past flashed through his mind, and a hint of pain flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes.
Although he didn't talk much during these days, he was always recalling his experiences with Xu Huizhi in his mind.
"Xu Huizhi must be disgusted by my lack of money and ability."
Jia Dongxu sighed.
"Yeah, I have nothing, how can I make Xu Huizhi happy?"
"But there are many good women in the world. I also have to work hard. Only when I have money and ability can I protect my own happiness!"
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu's eyes suddenly brightened and he walked towards Nanluoguxiang step by step.
It was getting dark.
When He Daqing rode his bicycle back home, he saw Qin Huairu coming out to greet him with a smile on her face.
"Daqing, I think the girl that matchmaker Zhang brought today is pretty good, and Zhuzi seems to like her too!"
"girl?"
He Daqing was stunned.
When I met Matchmaker Zhang a few days ago, I just said hello casually. Unexpectedly, Matchmaker Zhang actually introduced a partner to Zhuzi.
He Daqing blinked and turned to look at He Yuzhu.
But this kid, who usually has a thick skin as thick as a wall, today is like an old hen nesting eggs, eating with his head down.
My goodness, which girl is this to make her adopted son become like this.
"Yes."
Qin Huairu smiled and said,
"The girl's name is Xu Huizhen. She's from Niulanshan and her family makes wine. I've seen that she's a capable and smart girl. If Zhuzi marries her, she'll definitely make the family prosperous."
"Xu Huizhen..."
He Daqing was completely stunned.
He never imagined that the matchmaker would actually introduce Xu Huizhen to his son!
However, having said that, Xu Huizhen is not only pretty, but also a good business person. After another 30 years, with an assistant like Xu Huizhen, it will not be difficult for the He family to prosper.
"Zhu Zi, how do you feel?"
He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu and asked.
“It feels good!”
He Yuzhu was a little shy and said embarrassedly.
"That's great, let's get along well. Please come to our house someday. Dad will help you!"
He Daqing nodded, but did not express his opinion.
He was also curious whether Xu Huizhen from Niulanshan was the same as he imagined. Moreover, Xu Huizhen and his wife Huairu should be about the same age, right?
At this moment, He Daqing's ears moved and he heard Xu Damao's voice coming from the backyard.
"Dad, I want a bicycle, and I also want a beautiful wife. Look at this silly guy, he's already got someone introduced to him!"
As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, he was immediately forced into a trap by Xu Wude.
"Ren Shazhu is almost 17 years old, and he's also a full-time chef. What's wrong with introducing a girl to him? How old are you, brat? You're so young, and you're already thinking about women!"
Seeing this scene of loving father and filial son, He Daqing couldn't help laughing.
He Daqing did not expect that his unintentional action would cause a considerable chain reaction in the yard.
While I was in a daze, I heard the voice of the Jia family in the west room again.
Jia Zhangshi and Xu Youliang were trying to persuade Jia Dongxu.
"Dongxu, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Let's introduce you to someone."
"Your uncle Xu has several good girls, and they are all in the city of Sijiu."
However, facing the persuasion of Jia Zhangshi and Xu Youliang, Jia Dongxu, who had always been taciturn, spoke today.
"Uncle Xu, Mom, I understand what you mean."
"But I don't want to get married now. I want to work hard to make money. I want to get married after I have a formal job and save some money."
When these words were spoken, not only Jia Zhangshi and Xu Youliang were stunned, even He Daqing who was eavesdropping found it incredible.
Wow, this taciturn guy, why did he suddenly become smart today?
Is this a way for him to get over the pain that Xu Huizhi brought him?
