Chapter 10
"Dad, what happened in our family?"
Just when He Daqing and Qin Shouyi were sitting and chatting, an anxious questioning voice suddenly came to his ear.
Hearing this.
At first, He Daqing really didn't react.
It wasn't until a young man who looked to be in his twenties, carrying two pounds of pork belly and a bag of potatoes came to him that he reacted.
Oh my god.
It turned out that his adopted son He Yuzhu was back.
However, his son looked too anxious. His real age was obviously just fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if two years were added to the household registration book, it was announced to the outside world that he was three or five years old, and he was already eighteen this year.
As a result, no matter who saw him, they said that they had changed his age down, saying that the boy must be more than twenty years old.
Even when he took him to apply for the household registration book for the first time, the street auntie kept persuading He Daqing that it was a new society now, and there was no compulsory conscription, so there was no need to lie about his son's age. He Daqing was so angry.
After explaining for a long time, he proved that he did not lie about his son's age, nor did he change his age down. His son was really only seventeen years old.
"It's nothing, your uncle Qin came and wanted to take you to meet someone, but when he came back, he found that all the money and food in the house had been stolen, so he reported it to the police."
He Daqing waved his hands and said nonchalantly, not taking it seriously at all.
After that, he looked at the two pounds of pork belly in He Yuzhu's hand and said very dissatisfiedly:"Didn't I ask your third aunt to tell you to buy some rice and flour when you come back, why did you come back with two pounds of meat?"
"Do you have any money left? If you have, go buy some vegetables and steamed buns, buy more. Your Uncle Qin finally came here, and the two police comrades helped our family a lot. We provide meals for them."When
He Yuzhu heard that his house was robbed, he was not anxious at all. Instead, he was very dissatisfied with He Daqing's criticism and retorted:"Hey, how would I know that the food at home would be stolen? If I knew, wouldn't I have bought some when I came back? The main reason is that you didn't let the third aunt explain it clearly."
"Come on, I still have some money, I'll go buy it for you right away."
After all, he had been working for two months, and he didn't have to spend money on food and drink on weekdays, so He Yuzhu still had some spare money. After listening to He Daqing's instructions, he didn't care, but he was a little greedy.
"You silly boy, why are you in such a hurry to buy things? Why don't you call someone first?"
He Daqing was speechless. He was very dissatisfied with his cheap son. He was like a fool and didn't even call someone.
But he was the son of his previous life after all. He couldn't beat him to death.
"This is your Uncle Qin, and this is Comrade Zhang from the police station who helped us solve the case, you can just call them Uncle Qin and Brother Zhang."
He Daqing introduced his adopted son He Yuzhu with a helpless look on his face.
He Yuzhu then noticed Qin Shouyi and Zhang the police station who were sitting with He Daqing, and he honestly called them Uncle Qin and Brother Zhang. Qin Shouyi, who was standing aside, heard the conversation between the two and knew that the young man in front of him who looked to be in his twenties was the son of his brother He.
He looked at He Yuzhu, but couldn't help muttering in his heart:"My brother He, couldn't he have been a landlord before, otherwise he wouldn't be only in his thirties, but his son is already in his twenties. He must be thirteen or fourteen to have a child?"
Although there were regulations during the Republic of China that for a man and a woman to get married, the man had to be at least 18 years old and the woman had to be at least 16 years old.
But regulations are regulations, and many old customs are not so easy to change.
Therefore, during the Republic of China, many children of landlords and wealthy people often married at the age of 15 or 16, and their children were already old enough to help with cooking before they were 20 years old.
For example, in the second year after liberation, there was a regulation requiring men to be 20 years old and women to be 18 years old before they could get married.
But the common people below don't think so.
Most of them follow the old customs, and often men get married and hold banquets at the age of 18 and women get married at the age of 16, and then get a marriage certificate when they are old enough.
Even most rural people don't care about marriage certificates. They care more about the marriage certificates of the man's and woman's families.
Qin Shouyi glanced at He Daqing's appearance, and then at He Yuzhu's appearance. He always felt that his brother He was one of those who got married and had children early, and it is very likely that he had been married at the age of 15 or 16.
Qin Shouyi could understand this situation.
Because During the Republic of China, the Marriage Law was not promulgated until 1930. Even if the Marriage Law was promulgated, only those in the city would know about it. How could the common people at the bottom know about it?
When my brother He got married, the Marriage Law might not have been promulgated yet, so even if he married early and had children early, it was normal.
Looking at the figure and appearance of my eldest nephew, he can be seen as an honest man.
Although he is not as handsome as the child of the Jia family, he is also very strong, with broad shoulders and a big waist. You can tell at a glance that his family is well-off and not short of money. He is not like the boy of the Jia family, who is as thin as a stick.
Not bad, not bad!
This guy is worthy of his daughter.
Qin Shouyi nodded with satisfaction. He had a good impression of He Yuzhu. He had already started to think about how to test the character of his son-in-law later.
He Yuzhu greeted the two people, and took the two pounds of pork belly in his hand back to the house. Looking at the messy room that was turned upside down, he immediately ran out in a panic and said,"Dad, our house is really robbed?"
He Daqing was speechless after hearing this.
Good fellow.
It turns out that this silly boy just thought that I was joking with him.
"What do you think?"
He Daqing said unhappily
"How much money was stolen from our house?" He Yuzhu asked nervously.
He was not stupid. He knew that if you had no money these days, you would starve to death. So when he found out that his house was really robbed, it would be strange if he didn't panic.
"How much money was stolen?"
He Daqing was so angry when he heard this that he laughed and rolled his eyes and said,"Not much, it's just that all the money I saved for your wedding was stolen. If you can't get this money back, you'll be single forever."
"That's fine, I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry to get married."
When He Yuzhu heard this, he was relieved.
If the money for marriage is gone, it's gone. Anyway, he is still young, only fifteen years old this year, it's still early for him to get married, so there is no rush.
"Oh, you are still young, aren't you in a hurry to get married?"
He Daqing was speechless when he heard this, and said unhappily:"You are still young, you are almost twenty years old. If I don't find you a smart, virtuous and beautiful wife quickly, I am afraid that after I move out, you will be eaten by others in this yard."
Fifteen years old, rounded up to twenty, there is definitely nothing wrong!
Who made this silly Zhuzi in front of him his cheap son?
Originally, he was thinking of moving to Zhengyangmen with this silly son and little girl.
Who would have thought that he would meet Qin Shouyi.
So He Daqing had another idea.
Just like a post he saw on the Internet in his previous life:"Please ask, I have a fortune, but my son is not motivated. I am afraid that I can't keep the family property and will be bullied. What should I do?"
The best answer:"Find a powerful wife for your son!"
Think about it, if He Yuzhu married Qin Huairu before Jia Dongxu, who in the whole compound could plot against him?
And suck blood?
Who knows whose family would suck blood from whose family.
Think about the virtuous and filial character Qin Huairu showed in the TV series.
He Daqing felt that with such a daughter-in-law, their He family was completely like Ying Zheng touching the telephone pole, and they won a lot.
As long as their silly boy married Qin Huairu before Jia Dongxu, their son would be guaranteed in the future, and the fate of Jia Dongxu's death could be changed. There wouldn't be so many things in this courtyard in the future, and he could have a filial daughter-in-law. It was a win-win outcome.
