Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Qin Dabao hummed a little tune as he pedaled his bicycle all the way to the military compound. It was getting late that day, and it had just snowed, so he should have hurried back to the courtyard to rest. However, his sister's snacks were gone, which was a very serious matter. He would have to send the snacks even if it was snowing, not to mention snowing.

Sun Xiaonian should feel happy to take a bag and fill it with the remaining Daoxiangcun pastries. He can snatch food from Niu Niu's little tiger teeth and Wen Wen's gap teeth. There is no one else in the world who can do that, not even Erbao.

Two lunch boxes, one with pork elbow, one with braised pork, and a lot of fruits and vegetables. It was rare to be able to take out these in this season. Qin Dabao was not worried about his family's suspicion. There were places with greenhouses in the suburbs of Beijing where off-season vegetables could be grown. However, the quantity was very small, and the taste was far worse than those produced in the space. Moreover, he always took it out, and his family was used to it without asking where it came from.

Now Qin Dabao can enter the military compound entirely by recognizing his face. The soldiers on guard are already very familiar with him. Firstly, they are about the same age, and secondly, Qin Dabao is a very easy-going person. Every time he passes by the sentry post, he either throws a box of cigarettes or some food. Of course, the cigarettes are not special supplies, but just ordinary Zhonghua cigarettes, but even this makes the sentries feel very friendly.

After throwing two cucumbers to the sentry, Qin Dabao entered the compound.

Now, apart from the patrolling soldiers, there are few people hanging around in the compound. The soldiers are organizing political studies in the dormitories and rarely go out. Their main goal is to move less, consume less energy, and eat less.

Qin Dabao just opened the door with the bag in hand when two little heads popped out, grinning and calling out, "Brother."

Qin Dabao shoved Lu Tong and Lu Li's heads back in amusement and said, "Are you stupid? Aren't you cold?"

He put down the bag and took off his coat, but saw the two of them winking and pouting. He couldn't help but laugh and flicked their heads lightly: "What are you doing? Do you have a facial cramp? Do you want me to treat you?"

When I entered the living room, I found that there were guests in the house. They were two women. Judging from their age and appearance, they were a mother and daughter. My aunt-in-law was sitting on the sofa with them, chatting.

Qin Dabao caught Niu Niu who was flying towards him. The little girl sank again. He had raised Niu Niu completely in the past few months. She had fair and tender baby fat.

After kissing Niuniu, he nodded politely to the guests and walked towards the kitchen with his three sisters. His aunt stopped him.

Qin Dabao turned his head and saw the mother smiling with her big teeth showing, with some vegetable leaves on her teeth, and the daughter shyly glancing at him.

My aunt smiled and said, "Bao, this is your Aunt Wei, and this is her daughter Xiaojuan. What's her name? Look at me, I'm so used to calling her Xiaojuan that I've forgotten her real name."

"Aunt, my name is Wei Baojuan."

Qin Dabao burst out laughing, nodded and greeted him.

Dabao's joy made the girl look surprised.

Qin Dabao laughed and carried Niuniu into the kitchen. Aunt Xu was washing dishes. Lu Tong and Lu Li squeezed in. Seeing Dabao grinning from ear to ear, Lu Tong couldn't help asking, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"

Qin Dabao looked back and said, "I laughed at her name."

Lu Tong was even more confused: "What's so funny about the name?"

"Her name is Wei Baojuan."

"Brother, are you stupid? What's so funny about Wei Baojuan?"

"What kind of animal, you ask, is kept in a pen only after it's been fed?"

"Pig..."

"Yes, the pig feeding pen."

Lu Tong and Lu Li burst into laughter, and even Aunt Xu couldn't help but smile.

The laughter reached the living room, and Aunt Wei smiled and said to Dou Linglong, "Xiaodou, your children are so close to each other."

Dou Linglong nodded: "They are always like this, they always have endless things to talk about when they meet."

"So what we just said is settled?"

"Oh, Sister Wei, this won't do. Look, I'm just your aunt. The ones who can make the decision are my parents-in-law, my sister, and my brother-in-law. Besides, we haven't even asked the child's opinion. I think we should discuss it among our family members and then write to you. Is that okay with you?"

"Is that so?" Aunt Wei was obviously unhappy, and the girl next to her tugged at her mother.

"Okay, I'll go home and wait for your news. Look, these two children are such a good match. Besides, our two families are well-matched."

"Mrs. Wei, it's getting late, you..."

"Okay, we'll go back first and wait for your news."

Dou Linglong saw her arrogant look and almost couldn't help cursing. She suppressed her disgust and sent them away.

Qin Dabao then led his sisters out and saw his aunt sitting on the sofa in a huff, so he went over and sat next to her.

"Aunt, who are these two?"

"The family of Deputy Commander Wei of the Military Sub-district came uninvited,"

Qin Dabao chuckled, and Dou Linglong rolled her eyes at him: "What are you laughing at? I'm here to introduce you to someone."

"Introducing someone? That pig... no, Wei Baojuan? Stop kidding."

"Well, I also think this girl is a bit pretentious and not a good match."

"That's right, auntie. I can't just find someone to feed and then keep in a pen, right? Who can afford to raise him then?"

Lu Tong and Lu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Dou Linglong couldn't help but smile after thinking about it.

Niu Niu was startled and hugged Qin Dabao's neck tightly. The little girl didn't know what her sisters were laughing at.

The old lady came down the stairs with Erbao and Wenwen by her hand, scolding them with a smile: "Why are you so startled? If you scare Niuniu, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Lu Tong jumped up, took the old lady's arm and shouted: "Grandma, your great grandson has just been introduced to a partner!"

The old lady also became interested. As an elderly person, what they like most is to see their family members have children and grow.

She sat next to Qin Dabao and held Niuniu in her arms: "Grandson, has anyone introduced you to a girl? Tell me, who is the girl? What does she look like?"

Qin Dabao and the others laughed so hard that the old lady was stunned.

Erbao sat obediently next to his brother. He understood everything and laughed along. Someone introduced a girl to his brother, and he was going to have a sister-in-law.

Wenwen had already run into her brother's arms.

"Linglong, whose daughter are you introducing to my eldest grandson?"

Dou Linglong curled her lips in disdain: "Mom, it's the wife and daughter of Lao Wei from the military sub-district. They said they came to propose marriage."

"Who? The daughter of the old Wei family?"

"Yeah, she said her daughter was a dancer in the military sub-district art troupe, and she was one in a million beautiful, and she was a perfect match for our family. Anyway, I'm fed up with her nouveau riche attitude."

The old lady sneered: "You still think of a good match? This is a feudal remnant. There are only two conditions for our children to find a partner. One is that the person is good, and the other is that the children like each other. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law, as well as you and Liye, all married freely because of love. Your father and I did not interfere.

I can't be so old and short-sighted that I want my grandchildren to arrange those family marriages? Anyway, our family would never do such a dirty thing. "

Qin Dabao was happy and secretly gave his grandmother a thumbs up. The so-called family marriage was common after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it was definitely a way to death.

After the big storm came, countless high-level officials fell because of this kind of family marriage. In fact, this is short-sighted. Even the son of a great man found a girlfriend who was a child from an ordinary family. Isn't this obvious enough?

You should know that what the people in power are most afraid of is this kind of family marriage, because once it happens, it will immediately gather a powerful force. Can the people in power let such a thing happen? So you have evil intentions, if you don't die, who will die? Unfortunately, few people can see this clearly, so that even when their families are broken up, they still cry out for injustice.

Qin Dabao discovered that his grandmother was the one with great wisdom, which made him more confident that the Lu family could avoid the storm.
