Siheyuan: I am so good that I became a god of war

Ding Junlin was carrying a bulging yellow canvas bag, which Ding Weidong had just given him. Ding Junlin quickly took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from the bag and handed them to Qin Decai and Qin Delu.

"Uncle Qin, do you think this is okay for Jingru and I?" Ding Junlin blushed and said, "I plan to..."

"Wait, what should you call me? Since I gave my daughter to you, you have to call me father-in-law." The wrinkles on Qin Decai's face smoothed out: "This guy should call you uncle."

Ding Junlin hurriedly repeated his address according to Qin Decai's words.

"The young man is good-looking. I hope you and Jingru will live a good life in the future." Qin Delu lit a Daqianmen cigarette and took a deep breath. He felt that it was more fragrant than the old tobacco he usually smoked, but less strong.

However, Daqianmen is not something that ordinary people can smoke.

"Your mother went out to pick Chinese toon early in the morning and will be back soon." Qin Decai said, "When she comes back, kill a chicken and have it with us for lunch today..."

In a corner of the yard, there was a small chicken coop surrounded by a fence, with a rooster and three hens inside.

"No, no, I can't bother you to kill the chicken." Ding Junlin said hurriedly, "It's only 7:30 now. I should go back at 8 o'clock because I have to go get the marriage certificate today and have a lot of other things to do."

Ding Junlin looked at the watch on his wrist, which was given to him by Ding Weidong last night.

"That won't do. This is your first visit, you can't not eat." Qin Decai said firmly: "We can start cooking when your mother and your elder sister come back. It won't delay your work after we finish eating."

Ding Junlin hesitated a little: "Dad, I came from the countryside, I know how important this chicken is to you. If you can avoid killing it, then don't kill it."

"Don't interfere in this matter. I tell you the truth, I can't touch anything you bring. Your elder brother will have to take these to the girl's house as a betrothal gift later." Qin Decai said.

"You just need to pay another ten yuan as a betrothal gift." Qin Decai's eyes moved slightly.

"Dad, why have you become like this? You want a ten-dollar dowry for our son? Aren't we going to live a happy life in the future? Our family can't even save ten dollars by living frugally for a year." Qin Jingru asked angrily.

Qin Jingru had been hiding at the kitchen door listening to their conversation, while quietly observing her husband's situation. The more she watched, the more satisfied she became. The girls in Qinjiazhuang were all pretty, and the men in Dingjiazhuang were no less so.

Although Ding Junlin cannot be compared with Ding Weidong, he is still a handsome man, with a look that exceeds 80% of the average man. Just when Qin Jingru was feeling happy, she ran out immediately when she heard that her father was still asking for 10 yuan as a gift. After all, she and Ding Junlin would have to live together in the future, and this was really inappropriate.

"Jingru, stand further away." Qin Decai said tremblingly.

"What? These things are not worth much, don't you know that?" Qin Jingru said angrily: "You might as well sell me by the kilogram."

Ding Junlin was shocked by Qin Jingru's behavior. Seeing the father and daughter arguing, he quickly stood up and comforted them, "It's not that serious, it really isn't."

"I'll give you a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift. Only then will you be worthy of Jingru." Ding Junlin said.

"What did you say?" Qin Deshou and Qin Decai's ears almost perked up.

"Are you crazy? It's only ten dollars." Qin Jingru said distressedly: "We will live together in the future."

At this time, a woman in her forties walked in, followed by a young man in his early twenties. When the two saw the object on the millstone, they immediately stared at it.

"Dad, whose are these things? Why are they placed in our house?" The young man asked Qin Decai with curiosity and envy on his face.

"Did you only see these gifts? Didn't you notice your future brother-in-law?" Qin Decai scolded with a smile. "What's going on?" the woman asked.

"Junlin, this is your mother-in-law, she is the second sister of the Qin family. This is your brother-in-law, Qin Huaihai." Qin Decai introduced with a smile: "'503', you should go and cook. Oh, yes, kill a chicken and a pound of meat. This is Junlin's first visit, so he should..."

Qin Jingru pulled her mother Wu Yujuan aside and explained to her what had just happened.

"Great, great. I will send these gifts to my future mother-in-law's family. This way, my marriage can be finalized." Qin Huaihai said excitedly: "Should I leave now?"

"Wait a minute, give us some meat first." Qin Decai said.

"Junlin, please sit down. Jingru and I will go cook." Wu Yujuan smiled so hard that her face could not close: "Dear, the seventh family in the village caught a very fat rabbit, you can buy it! Here is money..."

"Let Jingru go with me on this matter." Ding Junlin quickly said, "By the way, about the hundred yuan..."

"No, I only need ten yuan as a betrothal gift." Qin Jingru said firmly: "How much is your monthly salary? Even if your family is rich, it is still..."

"Just add another ten yuan as a betrothal gift." Qin Decai said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Dad, how can you do this? You ask for a ten-dollar dowry for your son? Don't we need any money to live? Our family can't even save ten dollars in a year?" Qin Jingru asked angrily.

Qin Jingru had been hiding at the kitchen door, secretly watching the man in front of her.

The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was with her husband candidate. The girls in Qinjiazhuang were all good-looking, and the boys in Dingjiazhuang were no exception.

Although Ding Junlin is not as good as Ding Weidong, he is also a man of outstanding appearance, surpassing most of his peers.

Qin Jingru, who was immersed in joy, rushed out of the house immediately when she heard that her father was still asking for 10 yuan as a gift. She and Ding Junlin's future life could not be hindered by this.

"Jingru, don't interfere." Qin Decai said with a slight tremor in his body.

"Don't talk nonsense! Look at the gift he sent, don't you know how much it is worth?" Qin Jingru scolded: "Are you going to sell me to someone else directly?"

Ding Junlin was shocked by Qin Jingru's behavior and didn't know what to do. Seeing the father and daughter quarreling, he quickly stood up and said, "Jingru, don't be like this, it's not that serious."

"Father-in-law, I will give you a hundred dollars. This way, Jingru won't be treated unfairly."

"What?" When these words came out, not only Qin Decai, but even the audience present almost suspected that they had heard it wrong.

"What's wrong with you? Ten dollars is enough for us." Qin Jingru said sympathetically, "After all, we still have to live together in the future."

At this moment, a woman in her forties came in from outside, followed by a young man in his twenties.

When they saw the gifts on the millstone, they could hardly take their eyes off them.

"Dad, who do these belong to and why are they placed here?" the young man asked Qin Decai in surprise and jealousy.

"You saw something but didn't notice your brother-in-law." Qin Decai said jokingly. "Old Qin, what's going on?" the woman asked.

"This is Junlin, he is your future son-in-law, and this is your brother-in-law, Qin Huaihai." Qin Decai introduced with a smile: "Hurry up and prepare lunch, remember to kill a chicken and cut a pound of meat. This is Junlin's first visit, and the proper etiquette must be followed..."

Qin Jingru took her mother Wu Lijuan aside and whispered to her, telling her the reason for what happened.

"Great, great. I'll send these gifts to Xiaofang's family in a while. That way, my marriage will be ready." Qin Huaihai said excitedly, "Do you want me to go now?"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, wait for me to cut the meat and bring it in." Qin Decai stopped them.

"Junlin, sit down quickly. Jingru and I will go cook first." Wu Yujuan smiled so hard that her mouth couldn't close. "Your father, please go to Lao Qi's house in the village. I heard that he got a very strong wild rabbit. Go buy it and cook it! I have some money here..."

"Jingru and I can buy it." Ding Junlin said hurriedly: "By the way, about the one hundred yuan..."

"No, it's a long way to go. Ten yuan is enough." Qin Jingru shouted, "How much is your monthly salary? Even if you have a family background, it is the capital of my Ding family..."

In Qin Jingru's heart, she has already determined that she is a member of the Ding family, so she must consider the interests of the Ding family. "One hundred yuan... It's really too much, too much." Qin Huaihai said to himself.

"No, you can't give it to me." Qin Huairu insisted.

"In this way, Junlin is a sensible child. Junlin, fifty yuan is enough for you." Qin Delu suggested: "There will be many opportunities to help your father-in-law's family in the future..."

"That won't do! What kind of subsidy do you want? We will give gifts during festivals." Qin Jingru shook her head and said, "Brother Junlin, just give fifty."

Ding Junlin smiled and nodded. Even if he was ignorant, he knew that he had married a good wife. He must treat her better in the future.

Ding Junlin took out five ten-yuan bills from his clothes and handed them to Qin Decai, and then gave the remaining five to Qin Jingru.

"Why are you giving me so much money?" Qin Jingru looked a little puzzled as she held the money.

"It's pocket money for you. You should have some money on you." Ding Junlin said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, we agreed to buy a rabbit. Let's go!"

"Yes, mom will give me money..." Qin Jingru said to Wu Lijuan.

Before she could finish, Ding Junlin had already grabbed her arm and walked out.

"Tsk tsk, look at how honest your son-in-law is." Qin Delu said with envy: "Ah, if only our Lihong was a few years older, maybe she could get a son-in-law like him."

"Haha, indeed, Junlin is not bad." Qin Decai said with a proud smile: "Look at the son-in-law that my third brother's family Huairu found... Alas, he was so arrogant at the beginning, but in the end he has to rely on his father-in-law to make a living."

"Besides, Huairu later married an old man, and that guy didn't live long." Qin Delu glanced at Qin Decai and sighed, "You can't just focus on these small favors, they are nothing at all!"

At this time, Qin Huaihai was killing chickens in the yard, while Wu Lijuan was peeling potatoes. "What else can he do?" Qin Huaihai asked curiously.
