Chapter 1296: Zhuzi Carrying a Big Rooster

Nanluoguxiang.

When Cao Weiguo returned home, Song Yulan was tidying up clothes for Song Yuzhu.

"Brother-in-law, I don't want to go to school!"

Seeing Cao Weiguo return, Song Yuzhu ran over, full of reluctance.

"Be good! Study hard and make progress every day. Only by learning knowledge can you better add bricks and tiles to the construction of the motherland..."

Cao Weiguo rubbed Song Yuzhu's head and persuaded her gently.

There were new instructions from above, and the middle school Song Yuzhu attended resumed classes, notifying all students to return to school to prepare for the year-end exams.

Some students were happy, and of course, some students were unhappy.

Song Yuzhu was one of those who were unhappy.

Song Yulan pulled her sister's ear: "If you don't go to school, what do you want to do? You'll graduate from junior high next year. If you don't go back to study now, won't your previous efforts go down the drain? Tomorrow your brother-in-law will send you back to school. If you dare to be lazy and not study hard, watch out, I'll deal with you."

Facing her sister's bloodline suppression, Song Yuzhu begged for mercy pitifully: "It hurts! Sister, I'll go back and study hard, okay? Let go quickly, my ear is about to fall off."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Alright, Yuzhu is just talking. Yulan is diligent and progressive, she will study hard."

Although the college entrance exam might be stopped at any time, one still had to study if one could.

Knowledge learned in the brain was one's own.

Even if there were remarks about "the more knowledge, the more reactionary," those were high-level intellectuals who didn't serve the people and had crooked butts; it had nothing to do with descendants of three generations of poor peasants like Song Yuzhu who hadn't even graduated from junior or senior high school.

Moreover, if Song Yuzhu had a junior high diploma, it would be easier for Cao Weiguo to help arrange a lighter job.

Song Yulan let go of her sister and asked while folding clothes: "Weiguo, how is Master's matter?"

Cao Weiguo smiled: "It's already fine. It was just some old history, it's clear now."

This sounded easy, but to help his master solve historical legacy problems, Cao Weiguo had used up many favors. Just the cured meat alone sent out was dozens of pounds...

Red Star Sihe Academy.

Returning from the big leader's house, Shazhu was carrying radishes and cabbage in his left hand and a big rooster in his right.

He was glowing and showing off.

The Eldest Uncle, who was oiling his bicycle chain, saw him and hurried to speak: "Zhuzi! You've made a fortune, buying so many things."

Shazhu said proudly: "I didn't buy them. I went to the leader's house to cook, and the leader's wife gave them to me."

The Eldest Uncle gave a thumbs up: "Amazing! Shazhu! You kid are something! The leader likes you so much, your future is boundless!"

Shazhu laughed happily: "Hahaha! Not worth mentioning! Not worth mentioning!"

The Eldest Uncle leaned forward with a smile: "Zhuzi! The matter with Teacher Ran didn't work out last time. Do you want me to introduce another object to you?"

Shazhu was moved: "Who does the Eldest Uncle want to introduce to me?"

The Eldest Uncle smiled: "Heaven's secrets cannot be leaked. You go home and stew the chicken, I'll bring wine to your house in a while, and we'll talk while drinking."

Shazhu glanced at the middle courtyard with a guilty conscience, hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "Fine, I'll go back and stew the chicken now."

The Eldest Uncle said happily: "Good, good, good! You'll also taste my treasured good wine in a while!"

Shazhu returned home with the things and skillfully killed the chicken and stewed the meat.

Before long, the fragrance drifted out. Banggeng's nose twitched a few times, and his eyes glowed green as he shouted: "Chicken! Someone is stewing chicken! So fragrant!"

Jia Zhangshi swallowed her saliva: "Qin Huairu, go see whose house is stewing chicken."

Qin Huairu went out, followed the smell to Deaf Old Lady's door: "Zhuzi! When did you come back? You're stewing chicken, do you need help?"

Shazhu panicked: "No, no, I've already stewed it. When it's done, I'll give you a bowl."

Qin Huairu stared at Shazhu: "Just one bowl?"

Shazhu pulled a long face: "Is one bowl not enough? If I give you more, it's just benefiting your mother-in-law. If your mother-in-law agrees to let you marry me, I'll let you take the whole pot back. You ask me, does your mother-in-law agree?"

Qin Huairu said depressedly: "Zhuzi! This matter can't be rushed, we have to take it slowly. You know what kind of person my mother-in-law is."

Shazhu: "Then wait until your mother-in-law figures it out. If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't even give you a chicken bone."

After Qin Huairu went home and told her this, Jia Zhangshi's face turned green: "Shazhu, that shameless thing, I'm going to deal with him now."

Qin Huairu grabbed Jia Zhangshi's arm: "Mom, don't make a scene. Do you still want to eat chicken? Shazhu is already angry with you. If you go to make a scene, will Shazhu help our family in the future? Besides, Deaf Old Lady is in the room."

Jia Zhangshi stared at Qin Huairu gloomily: "Qin Huairu, tell me the truth, do you really want to marry Shazhu?"

Qin Huairu said with a bitter face: "I don't want to either, but look at our family's situation—the old are old, the young are young, how can we live?"

Jia Zhangshi sneered: "If you don't want to, that's right. Let me tell you, even if you want to, you can't. I can close one eye and open one eye to you and Shazhu flirting, but if you want to remarry, there's no way."

Jia Zhangshi also couldn't bear to lose Shazhu's help; after all, the leftovers Shazhu brought back were really fragrant.

And Banggeng and Xiaodang's tuition fees were all Shazhu's money.

Seeing that the New Year was coming, she also wanted to get New Year goods from Shazhu's house and then sponge a New Year's Eve dinner.

Qin Huairu whispered: "Mom! Don't you understand? Our family's life isn't well-off. If I live with Shazhu, our family's life will be much better in the future. And, when Deaf Old Lady passes away, Deaf Old Lady's house can also come to our Jia family. Look, Banggeng is already in junior high, and in a few years, he'll be an adult. But our family's house is only this big; we can't let Banggeng bring his wife and children to squeeze in with us."

Jia Zhangshi looked at Banggeng, and she had to admit she was moved.

Shazhu's money.

Deaf Old Lady's house.

She naturally wanted these.

But she was afraid that after Qin Huairu married Shazhu, she would change her heart and not care about her.

By that time, who else could she rely on?

Jia Zhangshi said with a straight face: "I'll consider this matter carefully, but remember, I don't agree, so don't even think about remarrying, otherwise I'm capable of doing anything."

Qin Huairu patiently did ideological work for Jia Zhangshi, while the Eldest Uncle arrived with his treasured good wine.

Hearing that the Eldest Uncle wanted to introduce an object to Shazhu, Deaf Old Lady was very happy.

The Eldest Uncle ate the fragrant stewed chicken in big mouthfuls, drinking a little wine from time to time.

It was beautiful!

Shazhu said anxiously: "Eldest Uncle, don't just eat, tell me about my object."

The Eldest Uncle smiled and said: "Zhuzi! Don't worry, the object I'm introducing to you is absolutely excellent—city household registration, and like Teacher Ran, she's a teacher."

Shazhu's eyes lit up instantly: "A teacher! That's great! What's her name? When can we meet?"

The Eldest Uncle: "Look at you, you're in such a hurry? Haste makes waste, you have to let me ask her first."

Shazhu said excitedly: "Eldest Uncle! You really are my good uncle! You must put in more effort. If this works out, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope."

The Eldest Uncle smiled: "Just wait for the good news. As long as I guide you and play matchmaker, half of your business will be done, but the other half depends on yourself."

Shazhu's old face turned red: "Good, good, good! Half is enough, half is enough."

The Eldest Uncle took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Arranging a blind date isn't hard, but you, it's best not to have the blind date in the courtyard. There are too many people and too much talk in the courtyard. If you want to succeed, it's best to go out, find a restaurant or a park, so you don't get disturbed by others."

Shazhu wasn't really stupid, plus there was Deaf Old Lady.

As soon as the two heard the Eldest Uncle's words, they knew what he meant.

The Eldest Uncle was clearly pointing at something, and he was pointing at Qin Huairu.

Shazhu had Qin Huairu in his heart, especially after Qin Huairu confessed, he couldn't stop thinking about her.

But Jia Zhangshi was the insurmountable mountain, the roadblock that would kill a thousand knives.

As long as Jia Zhangshi stood between them, he couldn't dream of flying together with Qin Huairu.

He liked Qin Huairu, but he didn't want to grow old alone.

Deaf Old Lady smiled: "Going out is good! It's quiet!"

Shazhu: "Thank you, Eldest Uncle. As long as the woman agrees to go on a blind date with me, I'll listen to you."
