Chapter 156 The Excited Qin Family
Back in the house, Qin Jingru didn't see her father and Qin Dashan. She looked at her mother in confusion and asked, "Mom, where are Dad and the others?"
Qin's mother smiled slightly: "Your father went to town to buy farm tools, and your brother went to Xiaolan's house. They should be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru exclaimed with delight, "Mom, you mean my brother and Sister Xiaolan's relationship is settled?"
Qin's mother sighed softly, "We don't know yet. Xiao Lan isn't a big problem. I think she likes your brother quite a bit. But we don't know how her mother will make things difficult for your brother."
"By the way, Jingru, Wang Feng said before that you're going to work in the factory soon, is that true?"
Qin Jingru nodded and said proudly, "Of course it's true! Not only will I be going to work in the factory right away, but I'll also be able to transfer my household registration to the city."
"real?"
Just as Qin Jingru was about to speak, she heard a loud shout coming from outside.
"Is Jingru back?"
Qin's father and Qin Dashan walked into the house together and immediately saw Qin Jingru and Wang Feng.
"Haha, Jingru, when your dad saw the bicycle parked outside, I knew it was you and Wang Feng who came back."
"Dad," Qin Jingru said sweetly.
Wang Feng took out a Zhonghua cigarette, offered one to each of them, and greeted them with a smile: "Dad, Big Brother, have a smoke."
When Qin's father and Qin Dashan saw that it was a Zhonghua cigarette, they accepted the cigarettes but couldn't bear to smoke them, instead tucking them behind their ears.
Wang Feng laughed heartily, pulled out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, and handed one to each of them, saying generously, "Dad, Big Brother, have a smoke, I still have some."
"Haha, Wang Feng, I'm so happy that you and Jingru can come back to Qin Family Village to visit us every now and then. You don't have to spend so much money every time," Qin's father laughed.
Qin Dashan didn't stand on ceremony; he simply stuffed a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes into his pocket and laughed.
"Wang Feng, you'd better have a good drink with us at noon today."
Qin's mother walked over and said, "Alright, stop being so polite. Old Qin, didn't you go to town to buy farm tools? Why did you come back with Dashan?"
Qin's father waved his hand: "I just got back and ran into Dashan, so I came back with him."
Qin's mother nodded: "Wang Feng, Jingru, please sit down for a while. I'll go cook."
"Mom, let me help you. I'm telling you, the food I cook now is really delicious."
"become."
With Qin Jingru's help, the meal was prepared quickly.
I cooked rice for lunch, along with stir-fried wild boar with green peppers and a hot and sour cabbage dish.
Both dishes were made by Qin Jingru. Qin's mother took a bite and was immediately shocked. She knew Jingru's cooking skills very well. How could her cooking have become so delicious after such a short time?
Jingru had used too much oil, which made her feel bad for a while.
At the dinner table, Wang Feng opened a bottle of Lotus White wine, poured a glass for Qin's father and Qin Dashan respectively, then filled his own glass. He picked up his glass, stood up, and said:
"Dad, eldest brother, this toast is for you both."
With that, Wang Feng downed the drink in one gulp.
Qin's father and Qin Dashan stood up and drank the wine in one gulp.
Qin Jingru filled Wang Feng's bowl with wild boar meat and said with a smile, "Brother Wang Feng, don't just keep drinking, eat some food too."
Mother Qin smiled and said, "You should try this. Jingru made this dish today. Let me tell you, Jingru's cooking skills are excellent now. You're in for a treat today."
Upon hearing this, Qin's father and Qin Dashan each picked up a piece of wild boar meat and put it in their mouths. Their eyes widened instantly, and they both looked at Qin Jingru with incredulous expressions.
Qin Jingru raised her snow-white neck and waved her hand dismissively.
"Mom and Dad, you're eating. Why are you all staring at me? Let me tell you, we don't have many seasonings at home. If we had all the seasonings we need, my cooking would taste much better than it does now."
Mr. Qin gave a thumbs up: "Jingru, you're amazing! I never knew you had such a talent for cooking. It hasn't been long, and your cooking skills are so much better than before."
Qin Jingru thoroughly enjoyed her parents' praise, but at that moment, Qin Dashan was already engrossed in eating, frantically piling wild boar meat into his bowl.
Qin's parents glared at Qin Dashan, but he pretended not to see it. Helpless, they could only give Wang Feng an awkward smile and then buried themselves in their rice.
With a clattering sound, the family had never eaten such delicious food before. The table was filled with the sounds of chopsticks hitting the dishes and shoveling rice into the bowls. They barely spoke, afraid that if they said a word, Qin Dashan would finish all the food.
Qin Dashan didn't drink much alcohol at noon, but he finished all the food. He even ate the oil from the dishes with his rice.
After dinner, Qin's parents and Qin Dashan were all burping. Qin's mother poured Wang Feng a cup of tea before pulling Qin Jingru aside and asking:
"Jingru, what exactly happened with getting her into the factory?"
"Which factory?" Qin's father asked, looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
Qin Jingru took a sip of tea and smiled proudly: "It was Brother Wang Feng who introduced me to the steel rolling mill as a chef. In a few days, I'll go to the steel rolling mill to cook for the leaders. Mom and Dad, you've already tasted my cooking today. With my skills, becoming a chef at the factory will be a piece of cake."
Qin's parents looked at Qin Jingru in shock. Qin's father asked, "Jingru, does that mean you'll soon be a worker in the city?"
Qin Dashan was also shocked. Not only had his sister married into a city family, but she had also transformed into a city worker.
Qin Jingru smiled and nodded.
"That's wonderful! Our family has finally produced a worker in the city!" Mr. Qin said excitedly.
Qin Jingru gestured for him to stop, "Dad, don't get agitated. I came back today because I want Qin Dashan to work at the steel mill too, before..."
Before Qin Jingru could finish speaking, her father interrupted her, asking excitedly:
"Jingru, what did you say? You said Dashan can also work as a steel mill worker?"
Qin Jingru rolled her eyes: "Dad, I haven't finished speaking yet, please don't interrupt me."
"Yes, yes, Jingru, please continue."
Qin Jingru glared at Qin Dashan sideways: "Qin Dashan, how can you be so oblivious? Can't you see I'm almost finished with my tea? Hurry up and pour me some more!"
"Hehe, Jingru, wait here, I'll go pour you some tea right away," Qin Dashan said with a smirk.
Jingru wants him to work in the factory, so she can't afford to offend this aunt.
After pouring tea for Qin Jingru, she took a sip and then said:
"Mom and Dad, it's like this. Wang Feng helped the deputy director of the steel rolling mill a while ago, and the deputy director gave Wang Feng a job. We just thought that Qin Dashan is already 21 this year and still hasn't gotten married, so we thought of letting Qin Dashan work in the factory. That way, Mom and Dad won't have to worry about him so much in the future, and it will be much easier for him to get married."
"Hahaha, good, good, good! Now my Qin family has two workers all at once!" Father Qin was so excited that his face turned red and he couldn't help but laugh.
Qin's mother wiped away her tears—tears of joy. Her family's hardships had finally come to an end, and they owed it all to her good son-in-law.
Qin Dashan was so excited that he trembled all over. Was he really going to go to the city to become a worker? This was something he had never dared to dream of before. Now, would Xiaolan's mother still dare to disagree with his marriage to Xiaolan?
