"Jianguo, I heard you were commended by the factory today, is that right?"

"Yes, I heard the factory even allocated you a house, is that true?"

"Jianjun, don't you still have a girlfriend? How about your aunt introduces you to someone?"

"Yes, yes, Jianguo, do you have a boyfriend yet?"

Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun have been surrounded here for more than half an hour. At first, they would answer their questions.

They later discovered that the women wouldn't listen to them at all, and there were too many of them, mostly aunties and grandmothers, so they didn't dare let go and push them away.

They could only wait helplessly for rescue, unaware that Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan had gone to the Xu family's house.

They kept praying that Chen Zhaodi would realize something was wrong soon and come out to save them.

When Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan returned to the family compound, they saw Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun, two tall men, being surrounded by a group of people asking them questions.

Chen Zhaodi quickly squeezed in and shouted, "Hey, have you all eaten yet?"

"We have to go to work this afternoon, and it's already very late. Please make way! We need to go back for dinner!"

When they saw Chen Zhaodi coming, they didn't immediately move aside, but instead shifted their attention from Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun to Chen Zhaodi.

"My dear wife, I knew your kids were the most promising! They've both become advanced individuals!"

"Hey, your sons Jianguo and Jianjun don't have girlfriends yet, right? Shall I introduce you to one?"

"And me, my daughter is about the same age as them, so it's a perfect match!"

Because Huang Jianguo obtained his marriage certificate rather hastily and did not hold a wedding banquet, most people in the family compound did not know that he was already married.

Last time Chen Zhaodi went to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang to introduce potential partners, only a few people knew about it, so they all assumed that Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun were single.

When Chen Zhaodi heard them talking about introducing them to potential partners, she finally understood why they were so persistent in their pursuit of them.

They must have known that the steel factory had allocated a house to Huang Jianguo, and now they felt that it was a good place for them.

After learning the reason, Chen Zhaodi quickly explained loudly, "Thank you all for your kindness, but they already have partners!"

"Really? Wasn't this not the case before?"

"Yeah, you're not lying to us, are you?"

Chen Zhaodi was truly exasperated. What was there to lie about to them about something like this?

Even though she wasn't familiar with them normally, they kept trying to get close to her, which almost ruined Chen Zhaodi's good mood.

Just as Chen Zhaodi and the others were worrying, Wang Yingxue, who had been waiting at home for them to return, came out.

Wang Yingxue cooked the meal and set the table as usual today, but no one came back.

Because she had been waiting for so long, she even went to ask Aunt Li next door, only to find that everyone else had already left work.

Worried, Wang Yingxue finally decided to walk all the way to the steel factory to find them.

When Huang Jianguo saw Wang Yingxue, he almost burst into tears. Finally, there was hope!

He raised his hand and shouted excitedly, "Wife! Over here! Come quickly!"

As soon as Huang Jianguo said "wife," everyone's eyes turned to Wang Yingxue.

When Wang Yingxue saw that Huang Jianguo and the others were surrounded, she thought they were being bullied, so she pushed people on one side with one hand and forced a path through them.

Huang Jianguo took Wang Yingxue's hand and said to them, "I am really married now. This is my wife."

"So I really don't need anyone to introduce me to anyone, thank you for your kindness!"

Introducing someone to me?!

Wang Yingxue glanced warily at the others, thinking to herself: What's wrong with people in the city? They actually want to introduce potential partners to people who are getting married.

Huang Jianjun also took the opportunity to explain, "Yes, this is my sister-in-law, and I really do have a girlfriend!"

Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan nodded vigorously: "Yes, you've met my daughter-in-law, now you should believe me, right?"

"We really need to go back for dinner, could you please make way?"

Oh right, Wang Yingxue suddenly remembered that she only came out because she couldn't wait for them to come home for dinner.

Wang Yingxue said to Huang Jianguo and the others, "Mom and Dad, Jianguo, and my second brother, come with me."

After saying that, Wang Yingxue didn't care whether the others were willing to make way or not. She directly divided the people into two groups and opened a path for herself to leave.

Seeing this, the Huang family quickly followed behind Wang Yingxue and hurriedly walked out of the crowd.

Chen Zhaodi thought to herself with a smug smile: "Thank goodness Yingxue is strong, otherwise I don't know when I would have been able to get home!"

......

After returning home, Mu Shengnan mentioned this matter to her parents.

"Are you serious? Jianjun really got recognized as an outstanding individual?"

Mr. Mu was a little skeptical. Generally speaking, unless there are outstanding contributions, the advanced individuals in various units are usually long-time employees.

Seniority-based evaluation is a common practice in every organization.

If Mr. Mu remembers correctly, Huang Jianjun has been working at the steel plant for less than a year, right?

Could it be that Mu Shengnan pulled some strings and used connections for him?!

Thinking of this, Mr. Mu's expression changed slightly, and he asked with concern, "Daughter, could it be that you helped Jianjun pull some strings?"

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Mu Shengnan was so angry at her father's words that she laughed. He knew perfectly well that she hated people who got ahead through connections.

How could I possibly help Huang Jianjun get preferential treatment? Besides, "This is a National Day commendation; every unit receives one."

“These lists are basically submitted one or two months in advance, back when Jianjun and I didn’t even know each other!”

Mr. Mu offered Mu Shengnan a piece of fruit in a flattering manner: "I'm just worried sick, so why was Jianjun commended?"

"I don't know the specifics. I only found out about this because a colleague went to the steel plant this morning."

“He happened to hear the broadcast and knew that Jianjun was my boyfriend, so he mentioned it to me.”

"I heard it's because he rescued an abducted child. Oh, and I also heard that Jianjun's older brother was commended."

"It seems to be because it was to protect important assets of the factory, I heard that's the reason."

After hearing what Mu Shengnan said, Mu's father and mother exchanged a silent glance, both thinking to themselves: It seems that Shengnan really did choose the right person.

Mother Mu suggested, "Daughter, you and Jianjun have been dating for a while now. Why don't we find a time for our two families to officially meet?"

"This is a good opportunity to discuss your marriage. What do you think?"
