A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

In Jianxin Brigade, Hu Guanbao, dressed in new clothes, was followed by Hu Dahai, and a fellow villager from the brigade was carrying a load of gift boxes.

Ma Mei's parents were surprised to learn that someone had taken a liking to their lame daughter and had come to propose marriage in such a grand manner.

Naturally, he was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.

The first line is "in-laws," the second line is "in-laws."

This surprised Hu Dahai. Was it that we were here to marry your daughter, or that you were going to force your daughter into our family?

Hu Guanbao, on the other hand, was excitedly offering cigarettes to his future father-in-law and brother-in-law.

They were also handing out candy to the children in the neighborhood.

This can be said to be an inevitable path for every prospective son-in-law.

So many families would hear that someone's son-in-law was coming to propose marriage.

They would let their own children squat at other people's doorsteps, where they could get some candy, melon seeds, or other snacks.

"Quickly, quick, let's get started, in-laws." Ma Mei's father pulled Hu Dahai into the house.

At this moment, Hu Dahai finally saw what Ma Mei looked like.

She wasn't exactly pretty; she was just average-looking. But you could tell she was a hardworking girl. Her hands were very rough, probably from doing a lot of housework.

Ma Mei remained seated, clearly trying to conceal her limp.

She would glance at Hu Dahai from time to time, and then at Hu Guanbao from time to time. After looking at him, she would lower her head shyly, with a smile that she couldn't hide on her lips.

Hu Dahai actually approves of Ma Mei. A girl like her is well-behaved and might even bring more peace to the family. Not only is she prettier than Zhang Yuzhen, but she's also a much better person than Zhang Yuzhen.

Moreover, her parents are much better than Zhang Yuzhen's parents. They are hardworking, simple, and pragmatic, and they don't have many ulterior motives or snobbishness.

She is indeed a very suitable marriage partner for Hu Guanbao.

However, Hu Dahai's attention was mostly on Ma Mei's brother, Ma Lianqun, who was standing to the side.

Ma Lianqun naturally noticed that Hu Dahai was glancing at him from time to time.

I was also very puzzled. Did I know Hu Guanbao's father before? Why was he looking at me so strangely?

"I wonder what you're doing now, Lian Qun?" Hu Dahai took a sip of tea.

The two had been chatting for a while, so Hu Dahai started calling him Lianqun directly.

Ma Lianqun realized: "Oh, I work at a state-owned agricultural machinery factory."

Hu Dahai understood immediately; no wonder Ma Lianqun gradually became involved in transportation in his previous life.

In fact, many car companies were originally agricultural machinery manufacturers, and then gradually evolved into car manufacturers.

Therefore, many agricultural machinery factory workers, after a brief training, can also repair cars and other similar items.

Hu Dahai knew that the state-owned agricultural machinery factory was also losing money year after year, much like the state-owned food factory.

He estimated that Ma Lianqun later shifted his focus to automobiles because the state-owned agricultural machinery factory was restructured, eventually becoming a bigwig in the transportation industry.

Since that's the case, he could remind Ma Lianqun in advance so that he could make preparations earlier.

"Your agricultural machinery factory is probably not doing well in terms of profitability recently, and it may be restructured next year," Hu Dahai said with a smile.

Upon hearing Hu Dahai's words, Ma Lianqun and his parents looked over nervously: "Are you telling the truth?"

Ma Lianqun is still a low-level technical cadre in the factory and has no idea about the factory's operation. They see that the factory is still producing normally every day and think that the factory's business is not bad.

Unexpectedly, Hu Dahai is now saying that their agricultural machinery factory is not profitable and will be restructured.

This made Ma Lianqun's family quite nervous, since they were now counting on Ma Lianqun's income.

If Ma Lianqun loses his job, his family's quality of life will plummet.

“You should trust my father. He has a very good relationship with the owners of the state-owned textile factory and the state-owned food factory. Director Song and Director Zhang often come to our house. If you don’t believe me, you can go to our Qunyi Brigade to ask around.”

Hu Guanbao spoke up at the right moment, adding weight to Hu Dahai's words.

Sure enough, Ma Lianqun and the others looked even more unpleasant after hearing Hu Guanbao's words.

They said they could go to the Qunyi Brigade to inquire about information, which means he has enough confidence in what they said and it is definitely not a lie.

If Hu Dahai really has such connections, then what he just said must not be nonsense. There must be some rumors. Thinking about it this way, doesn't it mean that the state-owned agricultural machinery factory will really be restructured?

“In-law, you have such good connections with state-owned factories, could you possibly get Lianqun a job?” Zhang’s mother couldn’t help but ask.

"Back then, Lian Qun was capable enough to get a job at a state-owned agricultural machinery factory. If you can get Lian Qun to continue working at a state-owned factory, we won't accept any dowry from you, and we'll even give her a dowry in return."

Before Hu Dahai could say anything, Ma Lianqun spoke up first: "Mom, what are you saying? My business is my business. What does it have to do with my sister? You can't tie my sister's business to my business."

“Even if the agricultural machinery factory goes bankrupt, I can find another job! I was capable of working in a state-owned agricultural machinery factory back then, and I will be capable of working in other factories later.”

Hearing his words, Hu Dahai thought more highly of Ma Lianqun. In this day and age, to get into a state-owned factory on one's own merit, one had to be either a college graduate or someone who was truly capable.

It seems that Ma Lianqun had already begun to show some talent at this time.

He smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry about the group chat either."

"To be honest, it wouldn't make any sense for you to continue working at the agricultural machinery factory, because the agricultural machinery factory has no future. Now that the agricultural machinery factory is going to be restructured, it's actually a good thing for you."

"I think with your skills, you could try getting into something related to automobiles, whether it's transportation or auto repair, it would be a good option."

"The country is developing rapidly, and the automotive and transportation industries will experience explosive growth in the future. There will definitely be many opportunities to make a lot of money. Agricultural machinery and automobiles have some similarities, so you have an advantage in working in the automotive industry."

Hu Dahai's words left Mr. and Mrs. Ma completely bewildered. The two farmers had no idea what was going on. So they looked at Hu Dahai with utter confusion.

But Ma Lianqun was different; his eyes lit up when he looked at Hu Dahai.

That's right. Just now, Hu Dahai was glancing at Ma Lianqun from time to time, but now Ma Lianqun is staring straight at Hu Dahai.

He excitedly dragged his chair closer to Hu Dahai.

She said to Hu Dahai, "Grandpa, I didn't expect you to think the same way! I've actually had this idea for a long time!" (Grandpa is the term used by the woman's older or younger brother to address the man's father after the engagement, expressing approval and expectation for the young couple's marriage and children.)
