Reborn in the 70s, doing whatever it takes to make money

"So this is the clock!"

"I heard there are 12 hours in a day. What time is it now?"

"Who did you hear that there are 12 hours in a day? There are clearly 24 hours in a day."

"Never mind the hours in a day, I just want to know what time it is?"

"The clock is on the wall, don't you know how to read it yourself?"

"If I knew how to read, would I still ask you?"

"Tch, he can't even read a clock, he's uneducated."

"Hey~ I'm really uneducated, so tell me what time it is now?"

"I, I, how do I know what time it is?"

"Speaking of which, Lao Xu's family is the first one in our Hongqi Village to have a clock, right?"

"There's one at Group Headquarters, but the clock never turns."

"..."

Listening to the chatter of a group of ladies in the courtyard, Xu Qing finally understood that they were all there to see the clock.

The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

It would be unimaginable for future generations to attract so many people to watch in just one hour.

Xu Qing saw Xu's mother standing in front of the clock. She could only look at it but not touch it, as if she regarded the clock as a treasure.

Xu's mother was beaming at the moment, talking to the ladies around her while frothing at the mouth, with a look of showoff on her face.

Listening to the ladies' compliments, the smile on Xu's mother's face never disappeared.

Xu Qing shook her head.

Why hadn't she noticed Xu's mother's tendency to show off before?

Yes.

In the past, the old Xu family had nothing worth showing off.

Now that she has it, Xu's mother's show-off nature is exposed.

Looking at the aunts and ladies in the yard, Xu Qing was not prepared to stay here for a while. After washing up, she went directly to school.

……

At noon, school is over.

Xu Qing went home for dinner as usual.

From a distance, she saw people filling the door of her home.

When Xu Qing saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched and she thought to herself: "Are these people just having nothing to do, or are the clocks and flashlights too attractive? Come in the morning, come again at noon..."

Xu Qing thought that the people outside Xu's house were the same aunts and ladies who came to look at the wall clock and flashlights in the morning, but when she got closer, she realized that she was wrong.

"Teacher Xu Qing is back."

"Xu Qing, congratulations!"

"Xu Qing, you are eighteen this year. You are a big girl and you have reached the age of marriage. Congratulations!"

"..."

The words of the uncles and aunts made Monk Xu Qingzhang confused and even more confused.

What congratulations?

What marriage?

Who wants to get married?

Xu Qing looked puzzled.

Seeing Xu Qing's confused face, an aunt in the crowd smiled and said, "Teacher Xu Qing, what a good thing, Accountant Lu and Lu Ming have come to propose marriage to you."

what?

Xu Qing's complexion changed slightly.

Not only did Lu and his son come to her home, but they also proposed to her?

Are you kidding me?

In the eyes of others, this is a good thing. After all, Accountant Lu’s family is considered to be one of the richest people in Hongqi Village, and Accountant Lu is also the accountant of the village. His status is second only to the secretary and captain, and he has real power. It is a good thing for a character to marry Accountant Lu and his family.

however.

Xu Qingke didn't think this was a good thing.

She knew the virtues of the Lu family and his son.

A stomach full of bad water.

No one is good.

Moreover.

She also doesn't like that Lu Ming, and wants her to marry Lu Ming unless she dies!

With a sullen face, Xu Qing squeezed into the crowd and walked towards home.

After entering Xu's house, she saw that the Lu family and his son were chatting with Xu's father and Xu's mother. It seemed that Xu's mother was not very happy, but Xu's father had a smile on his face. Obviously, Xu's father was quite satisfied with the marriage. .

"Little sister, you're here, come on, come on, come in, it's a good thing." After the third sister-in-law saw Xu Qing coming back, she immediately greeted Xu Qing with a smile.

With a sullen face, Xu Qing walked past her third sister-in-law and came to Xu's father and mother. She didn't even look at Lu and his son, "Dad, Mom, why are they coming to our house?"

Xu Qing asked knowingly.

Xu's father said happily: "This is your Uncle Lu, this is Lu Ming, Qing'er, what do you think of Lu Ming?"

Xu's father did not directly answer Xu Qing's question.

Xu Qing glanced at Lu Ming and said lightly: "Not very good."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Lu Ming's face faltered, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.

Father Xu was also slightly startled.

Xu Qing asked: "Dad, you haven't answered my question yet."

Xu's father pondered for a few seconds, took a puff of dry cigarette, and said slowly: "Your Uncle Lu is here today to ask Lu Ming for a marriage. I think you and Lu Ming are quite a match. If you have no objection, I will agree." This is a marriage."

"I have an opinion."

Xu Qing said without mercy.

Xu's father was startled. He didn't expect Xu Qing to be so direct. Moreover, in the huge Hongqi Village, it was almost impossible to find a second young man more suitable than Lu Ming.

"Do you have any opinion?"

Father Xu raised his voice.

There was a hint of annoyance in his voice.

He was very satisfied with the marriage.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing refused directly.

Xu Qing glanced at Lu Ming, sneered and said, "Lu Ming, why do you have the nerve to come to my house to propose marriage? Aren't you afraid that I will expose all the scandalous things you have done?"

Lu Ming's expression changed slightly.

Accountant Lu's face also darkened.

"Brother Xu, since Teacher Xu Qing doesn't agree to this marriage, just pretend I didn't come, Ming'er, let's go."

Accountant Lu said coldly.

Then he pulled Lu Ming and turned around to leave.

Seeing Accountant Lu get up and leave angrily, Xu's father panicked and quickly got up and chased after him, "Brother Lu, don't leave. I agreed to this marriage. Qing'er has to agree even if she doesn't. "

A smile appeared on Accountant Lu's lips, he stopped and said, "Brother, if this marriage goes smoothly, my Lu family will not be stingy, and the bride price will definitely be in accordance with the city's standards, at least 300 yuan. "

The people watching outside the Lu Family Courtyard couldn't help but take a breath of air.

300 yuan?

OMG!

This is too much.

Accountant Lu is really willing.

Listening to the crowd's exclamations, Lu Ming had a sneer on his lips that was not easily detectable by outsiders.

"Xu Qing, wait, wait until I marry you, and see how I torture you..." Lu Ming thought to himself.

He had already thought of countless ways to make Xu Qing miserable.

He wanted Xu Qing to live worse than death in the second half of her life.

"Little sister, did you hear that, 300 yuan as a gift, hurry up, agree." The third sister-in-law said excitedly.

At the same time, a hint of jealousy arose in my heart.

They are both women, why is the gap so big?

When she married into Lao Xu's family, Lao Xu's family only gave her a bride price of 30 yuan, which was a full 10 times difference.

Xu Qing shook off the third sister-in-law's hand.

He looked directly at Xu's father and said coldly: "Dad, I am over 18 years old. I am no longer a child. I can make my own decisions. If I say I won't marry, I won't marry!"

Father Xu's eyes widened and he said angrily: "My parents' orders, my matchmaker's orders, I am your father, you must marry me if I ask you to!"

Xu Qing did not give in at all, "Marriage and love are free. Dad, the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers you mentioned are already old history. This is not the case now. I don't want to marry anyway, I want to marry you!"

Xu's father's beard trembled with anger. He suddenly looked at Xu's mother and said, "It's all because of you..."

Xu's mother, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I don't agree with this marriage either!"
