Chapter 103 The Show-Off Qin Family Third Elder
Chapter 103 The Show-Off Third Brother of the Qin Family (Thanks to the Smoking Pig of the Book Club for adding more chapters)
After finishing breakfast, Jia Dongming took out three packs of Daqianmen cigarettes from his room and handed them to the three uncles and nephews of the Qin family. He smiled and said to them, "This time, thanks to you for sending Huairu's father to the city in time, take this pack of cigarettes and smoke it on the way back!"
"No! Really not! Uncle Banggeng, we can't accept these cigarettes!" When the second son of the Qin family saw the cigarettes Jia Dongming handed to them, although he wanted them very much in his heart, he still firmly refused the cigarettes given by Jia Dongming.
After hearing the insincere answer from the second son of the Qin family, Jia Dongming stuffed cigarettes into the arms of the three men, and then said to them, "I am the head of the security department of the factory. According to the rationing of the steel mill, I can be allocated two packs of cigarettes every month. I am not a smoker on weekdays, so you can do me a favor and help me finish these packs of cigarettes!"
The second son of the Qin family was embarrassed to accept the cigarettes Jia Dongming gave him, but the third son of the Qin family was different. When he saw the cigarettes Jia Dongming stuffed into his arms, he was very happy to take the cigarettes and said to Jia Dongming happily: "Uncle Banggeng! Since you said so, then we will help you get rid of these cigarettes."
The second son of the Qin family, seeing the greedy look of the third son, immediately revealed an expression of disappointment on his face, and said with gratitude: "Bang Geng his uncle! Our third son is just like this, don't bother with him."
"Uncle! I have cleaned up the kitchen. I'm going to the hospital to bring breakfast to my father and mother." Qin Huairu came out of the dining room carrying a net bag and said to Jia Dongming.
When Jia Dongming heard what Qin Huairu said, he took out the bicycle key from his pocket and said to Qin Huairu with a smile: "Huairu! Here are the bicycle keys. Hurry up and deliver the meal to the hospital, and then go to work at the factory."
Qin Huairu took the bicycle key from Jia Dongming and turned to the Qin brothers and said, "Second uncle! Third uncle! I have to go to the hospital to bring food to my parents, so I won't take you there."
This time when the Qin brothers came to the city, they ate and drank well at Qin Huairu's house. Before leaving, Jia Dongming gave each of them a pack of cigarettes. This kind of treatment was unprecedented for the Qin brothers.
When the second son of the Qin family heard what Qin Huairu said, he immediately smiled and said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu! Your third uncle and I are not outsiders, you don't need to send us off specially."
After Qin Huairu left, Jia Dongming helped the Qin brothers lift the frame of the oxcart out of the courtyard. After the second oldest son of the Qin family had harnessed the oxcart, Jia Dongming said to the two brothers, "Uncle Huairu, uncle Huairu, brother Huairu, I still have to go to work, so I won't see you off. Drive slowly and come back to our house to play when you have time."
After hearing Jia Dongming's polite words and thinking of Jia Dongming's attitude towards them, the second uncle of the Qin family said to Jia Dongming with a simple and honest face: "Uncle Banggeng! This time you lent money to my eldest brother for medical treatment and took out such good wine to treat us. We don't know how to thank you. If you have time in the future, you must come to our village with Huairu as a guest, so that we can also show our hospitality."
Facing the invitation from the second son of the Qin family, Jia Dongming knew that the other party was not just talking, so he said jokingly: "Uncle Huairu, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to your Qinjia Village to take a look. You must not deliberately avoid me then."
The third son of the Qin family did not realize that Jia Dongming was joking, and immediately assured Jia Dongming: "Uncle Banggeng! Don't worry, we Qin family members always keep our word. As long as you come, I will ask my boy to go to the mountains to hunt some game, and we can have a few drinks like we did last night."
When the second son of the Qin family saw his brother, he actually believed Jia Dongming's joke. If there were no outsiders around, he would have wanted to use something to knock open his brother's head to see if there was paste inside.
After hearing what the third son of the Qin family said, Jia Dongming turned to Qin Huairen and said, "Uncle Banggeng! Don't worry, your parents are in the city, Huairu will take care of you. If anything happens, we will arrange someone to inform you."
When Qin Huairen heard Jia Dongming's words and thought of what the nurse had said yesterday, he thanked Jia Dongming with gratitude, "Uncle-in-law! I'll leave my parents to you."
After the Qin family's two uncles and nephews said goodbye to Jia Dongming, they drove the ox cart towards the entrance of Tongluoguxiang.
After watching the Qin brothers leave, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Banggeng who was standing next to him: "Banggeng! It's getting late, let's go!"
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the uncle and nephew of the Qin family finally returned to Qinjia Village. The three drove the ox cart to the cowshed next to the village office. Upon hearing the news, the village chief of Qinjia Village rushed to the cowshed and asked the uncle and nephew of the Qin family with concern: "Second branch, what disease did Dashan have? Is it serious? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Qin Huairen heard the village chief's question and immediately introduced to him: "Uncle! My father has appendicitis. The doctor at the People's Hospital in the city said that it was a good thing that we sent him to the hospital in time last night. If it was later, my father would not be saved." The village chief heard Qin Huairen's introduction and learned that Qin Dashan's illness was so serious. He asked Qin Huairen with a puzzled look on his face: "Huairen! Wasn't your father fine when he went to work yesterday? How come he suddenly became so seriously ill?"
Qin Huairu specifically asked the doctor about the cause of Qin Dashan's illness yesterday. Qin Huairen heard the village chief's question and introduced to the village chief: "Fifth uncle! The doctor in the city said that my father's illness was a sudden illness. When the doctor examined my father, he said that he needed to have surgery immediately, but my mother was so scared that she collapsed on the ground on the spot."
"Uncle Wu! The hospital in this city is really shady. They charge fifty-seven dollars for an operation. At that time, we couldn't even scrape together ten dollars. If my second brother hadn't gone to Huairu to borrow money that night, my eldest brother would have had to wait to die in the hospital."
When the village chief heard what the third son of the Qin family had said, he thought of the rumors about Qin Huairu in the village, frowned slightly, and asked the three uncles and nephews of the Qin family curiously, "I heard from the women in the village that Huairu's mother-in-law looks down on us peasants, and Huairu's family's money is also managed by her mother-in-law. How can you borrow money from Huairu?"
When Qin Huairen heard the village chief's question, he remembered the first time they went to his sister's house to borrow grain, and hurriedly introduced him to the village chief: "Fifth uncle! My sister's family is not headed by her mother-in-law now, but by my nephew's uncle. The money for my father's treatment yesterday and the subsequent expenses were all paid by Banggeng's uncle. In total, he gave more than a hundred yuan."
When the village chief heard what Qin Huairen had introduced and thought about the situation of Qin Huairu's in-laws, he was puzzled and asked Qin Huairen curiously, "Huairen! When your sister got married, I heard that her in-laws only had one child, her husband. How come a big brother suddenly appeared?"
When the third son of the Qin family heard the village chief asking about Jia Dongming, he immediately thought of Jia Dongming as the security chief of the steel mill, with a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan. Without waiting for Qin Huairen to reply, he immediately introduced him to the village chief: "Fifth uncle! Huairu's uncle was lost from home when he was very young, and later joined our team. He lived a small life in northwest Shanxi until he retired not long ago. Now he is the security chief of the Red Star Steel Mill, with a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan."
The third son of the Qin family introduced this and quickly took out the Daqianmen cigarettes given to him by Jia Dongming from his pocket. He said to the village chief in a show-off manner: "Fifth Uncle! These cigarettes were given to us by Banggeng's uncle. We didn't want them at first, but he insisted on forcing them on us, so we had no choice but to accept them."
The third son of the Qin family, who was showing off, suddenly thought of something when he said this. He opened his cigarette pack with regret, took out a cigarette reluctantly and handed it to the village chief standing in front of him.
When the village chief saw the cigarette that the third son of the Qin family reluctantly handed over, he, who knew the third son of the Qin family somewhat, quickly asked the second son of the Qin family: "Dalin! Is what Dashu said true? Is Huairu's uncle really the security chief of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill?"
Qin Dalin nodded immediately after hearing the village chief's question and replied, "Fifth Uncle! The Third Brother is not talking nonsense about this matter. The Jia family is now headed by Huairu's uncle. Last night, I went to Huairu's house to borrow money, but Huairu's mother-in-law didn't show up at all. Later, when we returned to Huairu's mother-in-law's house from the hospital, Huairu's uncle even treated us to a drink."
When Qin Dashu heard his second brother mention their experience at Qin Huairu's in-laws' house, he immediately introduced him to the village chief in a showy manner: "Fifth Uncle! Do you know how Huairu's uncle treated us yesterday?"
"It was noodles with scallion oil, made with fine flour, and topped with several pieces of beef. We each got a big bowl of it. Huairu also fried a big plate of eggs and a big plate of peanuts. The wine they treated us to was Xifeng Liquor, which cost seven yuan per bottle. They opened two bottles. The wine smelled so good, and it didn't irritate my throat at all when I drank it."
After hearing what the Qin brothers had to say, the village chief couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He said to Qin Huairen with a look of relief, "Huairen! From what your second and third uncles said, your Huairu has finally gotten her happiness after all the hardships she has endured."
When Qin Huairen heard what the village chief said, he thought of his sister's current life and said to the village chief with envy, "Fifth uncle! Banggeng's uncle, knowing that Huairu was doing heavy and tiring work in the workshop, directly transferred Huairu to work in the office of the steel rolling mill. Now her monthly salary is 35.5 yuan, and Banggeng's uncle asked Huairu to save this money for herself and not to hand it over to the head of the family."
The village chief was happy for Qin Huairu when he learned about her recent situation. He smiled and said to Qin Huairen, "Huairen! From what you said, Banggeng's uncle is definitely a very open-minded person. With Huairu's help, your family will definitely be able to live a good life in the future."
