Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 163 A distinguished guest is coming to our house, we can’t neglect him

Shen Bohang and Zhou Gui made an appointment to have dinner at his house on December 12th.

In order to leave a good impression on Zhou Gui, Qin Yanhua took Shen Bohang to clean the house from top to bottom, inside and out, and bought some food available at the market and put it at home.

The Shi family and the Shen family live in the same neighborhood, Xiangheli. There are several houses between the two families, but the Shen family's house is their own, while the Shi family's is rented.

Shi Chunhong's father, Shi Jinshan, was a college classmate of Shen Chunheng. During the war, he was worried about his own safety, so he fled to the countryside for refuge, and started a family and had children there.

When peace is restored in the world, I will go to the city again to make a living.

With the introduction of Shen Chunheng, they worked in the same design institute.

Due to his insufficient professional level and no outstanding works, he can only work as a grassroots employee, assisting engineers in handling various chores. His salary and benefits are naturally not comparable to those of experts like Shen Chunheng.

It was only after my life in the city became stable in the past two years that I brought my family in.

Shi Jinshan has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son and daughter are both married. Shi Chunhong is the third child. Because the children have low educational qualifications, they all work as general workers or temporary workers in factories.

When Shi Jinshan moved his household registration, his unit only accepted his own household registration, and his wife and children were not moved in.

Because the mother of the child was from the countryside, she could not enjoy all the food coupons provided by the city. The whole family lived together, and the food coupons issued by Shi Jinshan were far from enough. They could only buy food at high prices, and life was a bit tight...

Shi Chunhong's mother, Li Xiao'e, already knew that Shen Bohang was dating a college student, who was Qin Yanhua's student.

She got angry when she saw Qin Yanhua busying around.

It was agreed that Chunhong from her daughter would be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, but she changed her mind at the last minute and introduced her own student to her son as a date. Such a person who despises the poor and loves the rich is really despicable!

Whenever Li Xiao'e got the chance, she would speak ill of the Shen family to others.

Seeing Qin Yanhua carrying a few more bags of things home, Li Xiaoe, who was chatting with people in the alley, said sourly: "Rich people are different. They can buy whatever they want without being restricted by tickets."

After this period of contact, Qin Yanhua discovered that Li Xiao'e was a complete chatterbox and a villain.

Since the two children couldn't date each other, she started making up all kinds of rumors and gossip about her family.

If it weren't for the fact that Shi Jinshan and the child's father are colleagues and they have a good relationship in private, I really want to tear her mouth apart!

Qin Yanhua weighed the bag in her hand and smiled, "You don't need a ticket for these things. You can buy them with money. We have a distinguished guest coming to our house, so we can't neglect them."

Li Xiao'e snorted, "Is this your Shen Bohang's new girlfriend?"

Qin Yanhua: "Yes, she has been dating Bohang for a few months, but she hasn't officially come to visit yet. I plan to invite her to dinner."

Li Xiao'e: "Humph! It's uncertain whether a woman who hasn't married yet can become a successful person. If you treat her like a treasure now, you won't be afraid of being laughed at if you are separated."

"My family is happy with it, you are so nosy!"

Qin Yanhua didn't want to have any meaningless argument with Li Xiaoe, so she left without looking back.

After she left, the women in the alley began to tease Li Xiao'e.

"If your Chunhong and Bohang get together, you and Teacher Qin will be relatives, and she will definitely not dare to talk to you like this."

"That's right. It's just that the two of you are not destined to be together. Otherwise, with the conditions of the Shen family, would you still be worried about not having enough food coupons every month?"

"Your Chunhong is unlucky and cannot be favored by the Shen family. You should stop clinging to the Shen family and quickly find another in-law for her, so as not to delay the child."

Li Xiao'e snorted coldly, "I've asked a fortune teller to tell me that Chunhong is destined to be very rich. The Shen family's eyes are on the top of their heads, and they look down on us country people. One day I will find Chunhong another in-law family that will be more powerful than the Shen family, which will piss Qin Yanhua off to death!"

"That's right! There are so many good men in the world. Without Shen Bohang, your Chunhong won't have to get married? My mother's family has a nephew who is very good. We can arrange for him to meet your Chunhong. Maybe they will fall in love with each other."

Li Xiao'e: "Is he registered as a resident of Jiangcheng? My Chunhong will only marry a local. No one without a registered residence in Jiangcheng will be considered. I don't want Chunhong to have to eat expensive food again."

"Whether she is a local hukou or not, what does it have to do with your Chunhong? Chunhong's hukou follows you, and she is a rural hukou. No matter who she marries, as long as she lives in the city, she will have to eat expensive food for the rest of her life. It's better for her to marry to the countryside so she doesn't have to worry about food."

Li Xiao'e: "No! My daughter finally came to the city, how can she go back to the countryside? I finally understand that your nephew is from the countryside. If he wants to marry my Chunhong, there is no way!"

"Humph! Don't you see what your Chunhong is like? She's got a rough body, a voice like a firecracker, stronger than a boy, and she's from the countryside. Which city guy would want to marry her? I'm willing to match her up with my nephew because of our neighbors!"

Li Xiao'e was furious and started a quarrel with the man. They even had a fight. After being pulled apart by the people next to them, they left unhappily...

On the day Zhou Gui visited the Shen family, she was wearing a new woolen coat from the clothing store, paired with a white sweater she had knitted herself, and looked pretty and charming.

When Shen Bohang went to pick her up on his bicycle, he was stunned.

Zhou Gui coughed lightly: "What are you doing, are you stupid?!"

Shen Bohang: "You look so good today!"

Zhou Gui looked at the tip of her shoe and asked shyly, "Didn't it look good before?"

Shen Bohang: "!!! It looks good too, it looks good every day!"

Zhou Gui: "Let's go, we still need to take a boat to cross the river, don't keep Teacher Qin waiting for too long."

Shen Bohang: “Yeah!”

When the two arrived at Shen's house, they attracted the attention of many people in the alley, and they were all talking about Zhou Gui's appearance.

"Hey! Xiao Shen's girlfriend is really good-looking, well-dressed, and from what I can tell, she comes from a well-off family. She and Xiao Shen are a good match."

"I also think they are a good match. They are both talented and pretty, and they are both educated. No wonder Teacher Qin didn't choose Chunhong. If it were me, I would also choose this pretty girl."

"Hey, stop talking, Chunhong is here!"

Shi Chunhong went out to take out the trash and saw Shen Bohang and Zhou Gui riding by. She heard everyone's discussion but said nothing and went home directly...

At Zhou Rong's suggestion, Zhou Gui brought some cigarettes, alcohol and fruits to the Shen family, and also knitted a scarf for Qin Yanhua.

Qin Yanhua was so happy that she immediately put it around her neck, turned around in front of the mirror, and even asked Shen Chunheng if she looked good.

Shen Bohang said jealously: "Why don't I have it?"

Zhou Gui, who had never thought of this, responded quickly: "I don't have enough wool coupons. I'll knit for you next time when I have enough."

Shen Bohang: "I'll help you get the ticket and buy the wool. Can you knit for me tomorrow?"

Zhou Gui: “…”
