Chapter 163: Shazhu’s changes, he misses his wife.
Xu Dongsheng didn't know when Jia Dongxu came back. He had already had several sweet dreams. The next day, it was still snowing heavily. Although Xu Dongsheng woke up because of his biological clock, he didn't get up early. Yesterday, Xu Dongsheng had already swept half of the snow in the front yard. Naturally, Xu Dongsheng didn't plan to sweep it today. When Old Xu got up, Xu Dongsheng also got up.
When he went out and saw that the snow in front of his house had been cleared, Xu Dongsheng nodded. At least there was a give and take. It snowed heavily and the water pipes were frozen. He could either boil water to scald the pipes, which might be enough to get water out, but it was unlikely to work. So Xu Dongsheng came to the piles of snow, took out a large basin, filled a few basins of white snow and put them into the pot. When the snow melted, it became water.
As there was nothing to do today, Xu Dongsheng was not going to go out, but after breakfast, he and Old Xu gathered around the stove, roasting sweet potatoes and potatoes. Enjoying the aroma, Old Xu was still reading. Although he had no academic qualifications, his cultural level was still good.
Xu Dongsheng was carving a piece of stone. When it was almost noon, a vivid girl appeared in Xu Dongsheng's hand. Although it was not colored, you could tell who it was at a glance. It was none other than Miss Shen Xiuping from yesterday. However, Xu Dongsheng still felt that it was not perfect enough, so he threw it directly into the furnace.
"Dongsheng, have you gone out today?"
This was Sha Zhu's voice. Xu Dongsheng responded. Sha Zhu pushed the door open and entered the room. Looking at Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dazhuang who were warming themselves by the fire, he greeted Xu Dazhuang first. Xu Dazhuang just gave a lukewarm "hmm" as usual. Sha Zhu didn't think much about it and sat down. Xu Dongsheng handed Sha Zhu a sweet potato.
"What's wrong, silly? What's the matter?"
Sha Zhu took the sweet potato and warmed his hands first, then Xu Dongsheng asked.
"Dongsheng, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. We are planning to celebrate it alone this year. But as you know, I have been celebrating it with Jia Ge and his family over the years. In the past, I always fed the whole family, so we didn't save anything at home. Now it's the end of the year, and we have no meat coupons or grain coupons.
In our hospital, you are the only one with wide connections and many ways to get so many eggs for Yu Shui. I wonder if you can help me get some meat and flour? Don't worry, I won't let you run in vain. I'll give you travel expenses. Do you think it's okay?"
After Sha Zhu covered his hands, he told Xu Dongsheng that he wanted Xu Dongsheng to get him some food and meat. Upon hearing what Xu Dongsheng said, it seemed that Sha Zhu had really changed a lot. In such a short period of time, he seemed like a different person.
But even if Sha Zhu has changed now, Xu Dongsheng is not going to give anything to Sha Zhu, because this cannot be started. If it is started, every family will come to him for help, wouldn't that be weird?
A buyer can use his convenience to bring himself a few benefits, but if he uses it to enrich himself and convert the items that are purchased and sold in a unified manner, he will be in trouble if someone messes with him.
"Silly Zhu, it's not that I don't want to help you. You know it's the end of the year, and the tasks of the purchasing department in the factory have doubled. It's hard for me to get something for my family. If we want to get something, we can only use receipts to buy it. I have no choice but to get eggs for Yu Shui. It was all luck. The factory didn't have eggs in this task, so I gave it to Yu Shui."
After making up his mind, Xu Dongsheng told Sha Zhu about his difficulties. Although Sha Zhu looked unhappy, he thought it was reasonable. Everyone was in trouble. If he made things difficult for Xu Dongsheng, it would be his fault. Moreover, Xu Dongsheng's family had helped their family a lot.
"It's okay. I'm just trying my luck. If I can get it, that's great. If not, I'll think of other ways. By the way, Dongsheng, have you met any good women in the countryside? For example, like Mrs. Jia."
Sha Zhu really regards Qin Huairu as the standard for choosing a spouse. Even though he has broken up with Yi Zhonghai now, the person he is thinking about still has to be someone who is not much different from Qin Huairu.
"That's not the case. Where are the beautiful women in this country? What's the matter? Are you thinking of a wife?"
Xu Dongsheng smiled when he heard that, Sha Zhu is not young anymore, he will be 25 after the new year, while Jia Dongxu got married at the age of 20, and his child is 6 or 7 years old now.
Ever since Sha Zhu left Yi Zhonghai and knew that there were still people who cared about him and his sister, he had more thoughts in his mind and began to want a wife, which was normal.
"Hey, Dongsheng, I'm almost 25. If I don't consider it, those of you who are a few years younger than me will get married. And there is also Xu Damao. If he gets married before me, won't Xu Damao suppress me?"
Sure enough, although Sha Zhu has changed, he is still the Sha Zhu who competes with Xu Damao, even over having children.
"That's true, but I think it's quite difficult to find someone who looks like Mrs. Jia in the countryside. Look at Mrs. Jia now. Not only is she plump, but she also has good skin and a pretty face. It's not a big problem to find someone with the same figure and looks in the countryside, but it's basically impossible to find someone with this skin color."
Don't you think about when Sister Jia married into our courtyard? The eighth year is almost over. When Sister Jia married into our courtyard, wasn't she also pale and unattractive? Although Sister Jia's family should be well-off, they were from the countryside anyway. Although Sister Jia's face was not as exaggeratedly pale as those rural girls now, it was almost the same.
This is also because Brother Jia was lucky. At that time, Sister Jia had a good foundation, so after she married Brother Jia and lived in the city for a few years, her face became younger and she looked more energetic, so she looked naturally beautiful.
But look at it now, the weather is dry and it only snowed the night before. People are digging for food in the fields, facing the loess and back to the sky. Rural children have to take on responsibilities early and start working in the fields as soon as they can walk. They are exposed to the wind and rain every day, so naturally they cannot compare with the fair skin and beauty of the ladies from wealthy families.
However, if you want to find someone who is similar to Mrs. Jia, who is virtuous, capable, diligent and filial, you can still find one.
I think you can go and look for a woman with a similar frame to Jia's wife. As long as she has good character, is sensible and smart, you can take good care of her after you marry her home. Besides doing housework at home and buying vegetables, after a few years of raising her, who can't be better than a lady from a wealthy family? And she is much easier to get along with than those spoiled young ladies.
In a few years, you will be able to be as good as Mrs. Jia, or even better than her. However, everyone has different perceptions. What I see clearly may not be what you see clearly. I think you can go to Uncle He's place more often. By visiting him, won't you be able to get to know the women in his team?
Besides, Uncle He is here to help you. After all, Uncle He is your father after all. He would never harm you, don't you think?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Dongsheng did not hide anything from Sha Zhu and directly analyzed it to Sha Zhu. Since Sha Zhu wanted to listen, Xu Dongsheng was happy to talk to Sha Zhu about this insignificant stuff, just to relieve his boredom.
However, Xu Dongsheng was not making it up; this was based on facts, because according to his memory, Qin Huairu was not that pretty when she married into the Siheyuan courtyard. It was just that she was well-maintained. Every day apart from washing clothes and cooking at home, she did not do anything else, so her skin naturally improved. Especially after giving birth to a child, her temperament changed and became even more different.
"That's true. Thanks, Dongsheng. If I get married, I'll treat you to the wedding."
Sha Zhu chewed on Xu Dongsheng's words, and after figuring out the meaning, he felt that they made a lot of sense. He then thanked Xu Dongsheng, and then chatted with Xu Dongsheng for a few more words, wondering which villages had good wives. Xu Dongsheng also reminded Sha Zhu that if he married a rural wife, Sha Zhu would have to have a ration for one person, and his wife and future children would have to eat expensive grain.
Sha Zhu replied to Xu Dongsheng that he didn't need to worry about this. Although Xu Dongsheng didn't know Sha Zhu's background, he didn't say much. After all, it was someone else's decision, so why should he waste his words on it?
