Return To 1977 Chapter 836: Psychological warfare

After solving his own problem, Hong Yanwu was just one step away from success.

As the saying goes, taking advantage is not enough.

This kid took advantage of the benefits and planned to take the medicine according to the prescription.

So on April 27, he and Shui Qing bought four-color gifts of tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, and then took a trip to Miyun Reservoir in Bian Jiangong’s car.

For no other reason than to ask Shui Xinsheng, the only direct blood relative of the Shui family, Shui Qing's uncle, to come forward and secure a match for them.

Shui Xinsheng's family settled in the countryside. When his eldest niece came with her partner, she naturally wanted to entertain her warmly.

Seeing that all kinds of gifts were available and they were of great value, and they came in a car, they immediately made Hong Yanwu a big shot.

Although later I heard Hong Yanwu explain that his job was to be a chef, he actually thought this job was better.

Don’t forget, people these days have all survived the difficult years of material scarcity.

Farm work is very labor-intensive, and country people are not afraid of anything but starvation.

According to the rural thinking model, almost everyone believes in their bones that if they really have a relative who is a chef, it will be more useful than being an official of any size.

So Shui Xinsheng not only readily agreed to be the matchmaker.

He also felt that his niece and nephew-in-law took the initiative to invite him and brought a car to pick him up because they thought highly of him and felt that Beier had some face.

So I quickly washed my face and changed my clothes, and drove to the capital with Hong Yanwu, Shui Qing and others in a car.

But who would have thought that this matter actually went smoothly... it was a disaster.

What exactly happened?

In fact, in the final analysis, it was down to Hong Yanwu's own poor thinking that this matter was done like this.

Because no matter how good the method is, it must be linked to specific objective conditions and cannot be generalized.

It just so happened that this kid was lazy and invited Shui Xinsheng here without thinking carefully.

In the end, the matchmaker he found was really dedicated, but not enough.

The first thing is that you are losing money.

Shui Xinsheng did say good things for Hong Yanwu, but he was too kind and a bit clumsy.

I can't keep up with my words. Apart from explaining my purpose of coming and repeating some old-fashioned rhetoric, I have no room for improvement.

To put it bluntly, it's almost all a routine like "talk about Qin Qiong, say Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong's name is Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong rides a yellow gelding, and the one riding the yellow gelding is Qin Qiong".

How can he compare to Aunt Shui, an old woman who is outstanding among all the ladies? She has developed her eloquence by buying garlic and competing for onions, criticizing and scolding sophora trees.

The second is that the preparation time was short, and Shui Xinsheng had little experience and did not fully understand and understand the situation inside.

He only knew that there was a slight age difference between the two juniors. Shui Qing was a cadre and Hong Yanwu was an employee.

Although Hong Yanwu also said that he had stayed in "Chadian'er", he didn't understand that it was "going in" at all, and he didn't expect how unhappy Shui Gengsheng and his wife would be.

It was a complete miscalculation of the situation.

Thirdly, as relatives, Shui Xinsheng and the Hong family are incomparable, and their right to speak is completely different

Like Shou Jingfang who saved Hong Lucheng's life, Yuntai is not only Wang Yunlin's elder brother, but also Hong Lucheng's uncle.

Of course it will work if these two people open their mouths.

But what about Shui Xinsheng? He is Shui Gengsheng's brother, and he has often received support from his brother and sister-in-law in the past.

Then his face is very limited.

When nothing goes wrong, the harmony of the family cannot be revealed.

But when something really happened, his lack of confidence became apparent.

Aunt Shui got angry with him, but not only did he stop talking, he also had to smile in apology.

No way, I'm just short-tongued.

He used to get food stamps, money and supplies, all because of this sister-in-law's frugality.

So in the end, not only Shui Xinsheng was unceremoniously poked by Aunt Shui, but was embarrassed.

Even the pair of "mandarin ducks" failed to survive, and they all ended miserably.

At that time, Aunt Shui had just finished scolding Shui Xinsheng when she called Hong Yanwu in who was waiting outside in front of everyone.

Tell him first, "For Xiaoying's matter, we should be grateful to you..."

Hong Yanwu thought there was still room for this, so he was naturally polite and didn't even say a word.

He didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Shui would start to sneer, and as soon as the topic changed, she would scold him bloody.

"...But we can't treat people like you according to common sense. Because you are deliberately trying to please, with bad motives and impure purposes. So no matter what, it is impossible for me to agree to this marriage. You will die here Tiao Xin, if you want to marry my daughter, strangle me to death first."

That’s not all, Aunt Shui didn’t care how uncomfortable Shui Qing was as she kept calling her mom.

He actually said that if Hong Yanwu dared to mess around again, he would go to his parents and tell them if they couldn't control him. She went to the police station, believing that there would be somewhere to take care of him.

Then he shouted "Go away" and drove Hong Yanwu out of the house.

After that, she refused to allow Shui Qing to follow her out, and even continued to scold her daughter for not living up to expectations.

As she cursed, heads appeared behind the windows of the neighbors next door, looking out.

You can imagine how embarrassed Hong Yanwu was and how embarrassed Shui Qing was.

But fortunately, no matter how Aunt Shui got angry, Hong Yanwu was sensible and did not reply.

After he left, Aunt Shui herself was so angry that Shui Qing refused to give in or give up.

Even Shui Gengsheng can't stand this kind of result.

He couldn't help but persuade his wife.

"Can you please stop being like this? Just talk to me if you have something to say. Who are you blaming? Why are you so stubborn with your daughter? Qing'er feels uncomfortable enough."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Shui, who was so angry, could no longer hear flattering words, and became even more furious when she heard these words.

"Why doesn't she consider whether I am uncomfortable or not? Hey, you are also against me, right? Oh, if you all think Hong Laosan is good, you go with him. I will leave this home."

The old lady followed her arm and swept the two thermos bottles that Tailor Su was going to give to Tailor Su on May Day to the ground.

There was a "bang" sound.

All broken!

It would be too boring to get into trouble like this.

The final result was that Shui Xinsheng left in embarrassment.

Shui Qing cried all night over this.

Aunt Shui also went on a hunger strike because of this anger.

The entire Shui family is in chaos.

There are even more rumors circulating in the courtyard.

But the good thing is that Hong Yanwu is quite popular now, and he has done a good job in the preliminary work.

The neighbors were talking about it, at least nothing unpleasant came out.

And at this time, water waves and water ripples began to play a role.

They can't afford to offend their mother, but they dare to provoke their father.

Shui Xiaoying also got tired of it and said she was happy for Hong Yanwu to be her father.

So after going back and forth, with their efforts in turn, Shui Gengsheng's attitude relaxed first.

No, Shui Gengsheng met and talked with Hong Yanwu in private, and finally recognized this son-in-law.

Of course, this is inseparable from Hong Yanwu's quick wit and eloquence.

First of all, this boy made sure that Shui Gengsheng was also a craftsman. By praising Shui Gengsheng's craftsmanship, he also expressed his experience of learning the craft through hardships.

Invisibly, it not only increases my own value, but also brings me closer to my father-in-law.

Following that, he expressed his determination again, saying that he had definitely changed his mind and become a serious person, and he promised to be good to Shui Qing and his wife for the rest of his life.

And he also used what he had said to Shui Lan to explain in a well-founded way why he was suitable for Shui Qing and why Shui Qing and Luo Yang were not.

In the end, they took care of everything and shouldered all the financial expenses for the wedding.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that he said these words beautifully without any ostentation.

Just from the perspective of being sympathetic to the difficulties of the old couple, Shui Qing, as the eldest sister, must think more about the future marriage of the two younger sisters.

What does long live understanding mean? It's all psychological tactics.

So in the small room of the Chen family, the future father-in-law and son-in-law chatted more and more like each other, and finally the father and son simply brought a bottle of wine and some ready-made food and drinks to drink.

However, there was a lot of drinking and drinking. After just two drinks, Shui Gengsheng remembered an important matter and stopped temporarily.

"...Xiao Wu, wait a minute...there is one more urgent matter. What should we do with Qing'er's mother? If your aunt doesn't agree, it still won't work. I'll talk to you first. As promised, I can't do anything to her, and because of the quarrel between mother and daughter, your aunt is starving, so I can't spare you."

Hong Yanwu endured the hiccups and waved his hands, "It's okay, this is easy to handle, just listen to me..."

He then handed Shui Gengsheng a cigarette, lit it, and began to come up with ideas.

"Hunger strike is actually not scary. My aunt doesn't really want to starve herself. She just wants to make Shuiqing feel distressed. In this way, you can go back and tell Shui Lan or Shui Lian, and let them pretend to be facing mom and pretend to be carrying The family secretly sent food to my aunt, to ensure that she was fine first, as a way to delay the attack. I will pretend to be ignorant and continue to persuade my aunt, just say that Shui Qing is already 29 years old. She didn't want to say it herself, but the news has already spread. As time goes by, the eldest girl will be thirty. Besides, we live together and go to get off work together every day, so how can we prevent theft? The household register was taken away by us one day and we registered it ourselves. As soon as my aunt was relieved of her suspicion after hearing this, I quickly invited a few qualified matchmakers to come and propose marriage again. I must have reached this level. Next. It’s not difficult.”

Hey, Shui Gengsheng really can’t help but admire these two or three remarks.

"...You kid, it's okay. This is a series of tricks. I think this way...it's probably reliable. But why do I feel that you are so over-the-top? Is it us? If you don't agree, are you really going to steal your household registration and elope with my daughter? I have to tell you first. My eldest daughter has a clear conscience and I won't dare to do this to her if you live together. Promise, don’t blame me for falling out with you.”

Hong Yanwu nodded quickly.

"Yes, absolutely not. In fact, you think highly of me, and I am very shrewd. Besides, I just want to elope, but Shui Qing won't agree. She is still closer to her parents..."

Shui Gengsheng didn’t believe it at all.

"Tch, you are so humble, you are showing hypocrisy. If you ask me, it is still a girl who is outward, not to mention that the person you like is a bastard."

I am proud, but I must never accept these words again.

Hong Yanwu quickly changed the subject and took out five yuan.

"What...Dad, I heard that mom gave (Zuwa) the new thermos the two of us bought. I'll pay for it."

Shui Gengsheng's expression softened.

"Huh, this is just a human saying. You deserve compensation, but don't pay more. If there is nothing outside, just be brave, one dollar and five..."

But immediately there was another shock, and he became vigilant again.

"Hey, what are you yelling about? The matter has not been decided yet. Don't be so stupid!"

"Yes, yes, yes...then let's have another drink!"
