The background check was completed quickly. Sun Zhengguo was classified as a lower-middle peasant because his grandfather was a craftsman and not considered poor. So, he was classified as a lower-middle peasant, which was acceptable, as he wouldn't be affected by the wind.
Yan Bugui was a small business owner, which was slightly worse off. Later, when the wind picked up, the teacher took action, but it wasn't fatal.
Sha Zhu was in trouble. He Daqing was labeled a landlord, and Sha Zhu became one of the "Five Black Categories." He no longer dared to act as he did before, always thinking, "My family has been farm laborers for three generations. Who am I afraid of?" Poor He Yushui, she even had difficulty going to school from then on.
Originally, Yi Zhonghai wanted to register a false relationship for the deaf old lady and fraudulently obtain the status of a recipient of the Five Guarantees. However, because He Daqing's matter had become a big deal, the neighborhood committee paid special attention to courtyard No. 95 and conducted a very strict investigation, so the plan fell through.
This matter was not considered resolved until Sun Zhengguo started school.
Today is the first day of school. After breakfast, Sun Zhengguo first took his younger siblings to school before riding his bicycle to the No. 1 Middle School.
After entering the school, parking the car, and finding my classroom, I went inside and found that many classmates had already arrived. I glanced around and recognized some familiar faces.
"Jung-guk, over here, over here. I saw your name when we were assigning classes. How about that? I'm a good friend, I even saved a seat for you."
Before Sun Zhengguo could even speak, Zheng Wenhua had already started shouting.
Zheng Wenhua, true to his name, is indeed cultured. He was Sun Zhengguo's junior high school classmate and best friend. In junior high, one of them ranked first and the other second.
Of course, Sun Zhengguo will always be number one, and Zheng Wenhua will always be number two, jokingly referred to by their homeroom teacher at the time as "two brilliant foes of the same era".
Upon hearing Zheng Wenhua call out, Sun Zhengguo did not hesitate and went over to sit next to Zheng Wenhua. After tidying up a bit, the two started chatting.
The two were chatting enthusiastically when a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses walked in from outside. Needless to say, this must be the future homeroom teacher.
The visitor introduced himself as Mr. Zhao Yucheng, the homeroom teacher and math teacher.
Next, the students introduced themselves. When Sun Zhengguo was introducing himself, Teacher Zhao glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
After all the introductions were finished, we proceeded with adjusting seating arrangements, distributing books, selecting temporary class officers, assigning dormitories, cleaning, and so on.
My first day of school went by so happily.
On the weekend, Sun Zhengguo got up before dawn, practiced his boxing routine until he was slightly sweaty, and then, after washing up, pushed his bicycle to Jia Dongxu's house.
Today is Jia Dongxu's wedding day. He invited Sun Zhengguo and borrowed a car from the neighborhood office to pick up the bride.
Sun Zhengguo didn't want to go at first, but after thinking about it, the two families had no enmity or hatred, and his family was the only one in the courtyard with a car. If he didn't go, people would gossip. After all, the martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; there are also human relationships involved. So he agreed to go.
"Jung-guk is here. Come and have breakfast. We'll need your help later."
When Jia Dongxu saw Sun Zhengguo arrive, he happily went up to greet him.
"No trouble at all, Dongxu-ge. Look at what you're saying. We're from the same courtyard, why are you being so polite? Congratulations on your wedding today."
As he spoke, Sun Zhengguo took the bowl that Jia Zhangshi handed him.
"Congratulations, Aunt Jia, on the birth of your daughter-in-law today! You can look forward to enjoying your life from now on."
Sun Zhengguo could say nice things without batting an eye, since it didn't cost him anything.
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
"That's why Zheng Guo is a cultured man; you see, his words are just so pleasant to hear."
"I'm happy," said Jia Zhangshi.
After breakfast, Jia Dongxu, along with Sun Zhengguo, set off for Qin Family Village, carrying the prepared candy and gifts.
Qin Family Village is not far from the courtyard house, and the two arrived in less than an hour. When some villagers saw the two bicycles entering the village, they guessed that the Qin family was getting married today and that the two were coming to pick up the bride, so they stopped the bicycles.
"What a handsome young man! The Qin family is truly blessed."
"That's for sure! Look, he's still riding a bicycle. City people have it so good!"
"Yes, yes, I heard that this young man is a full-time employee with a monthly salary of several hundred thousand yuan."
The villagers chattered excitedly, with those who had daughters wishing they could have their own.
Jia Dongxu was prepared; he handed out wedding candies around the village before he was allowed to enter.
Upon arriving at the Qin family home, Qin Huairu's uncles, cousins, and other relatives were all there. After a round of playful banter, they were given candy, cigarettes, and red envelopes before finally meeting Qin Huairu herself.
Qin Huairu was dressed in a red wedding gown today, with her eyebrows drawn, blush applied, and bright red lips that made one want to kiss her. She was truly stunningly beautiful.
Jia Dongxu was even more itchy to get his hands on it, and even Sun Zhengguo had designs on it. (This isn't Cao Cao's writing; it's just an appreciation of beauty.)
After finishing their tea and chatting for a while, they prepared to return to the city. Qin Huairu said goodbye to her parents and got into Jia Dongxu's car, crying. Sun Zhengguo took some dowry and headed straight for the capital.
Around 11 a.m., a group of people were anxiously waiting at the entrance of the courtyard house.
Two bicycles approached from a distance, and those with sharp eyes had already spotted them.
"They're here, they're here."
"Set off the firecrackers, you guys come and help."
Upon seeing his apprentice return from welcoming his bride, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly made arrangements.
"Knock knock knock..."
"The bride is here! The bride is here!"
The children were shouting enthusiastically.
After getting off the bus, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were busy handing out wedding candies, while Sun Zhengguo delivered the dowry to the Jia family, creating quite a lively scene.
Qin Huairu's beauty also shocked everyone in the courtyard, especially Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.
After the excitement subsided, Qin Huairu stepped over the brazier and was led into the bridal chamber.
At noon, the wedding officially began. The Jia family hosted three tables of food today, with one person per household in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai also invited the workshop director and Liu, an official from the street office.
The wedding was officiated by Yi Zhonghai, who first gave a long and eloquent speech, then bowed three times to the portrait of the great man, then the couple sang the revolutionary song "The East Is Red", and finally announced the start of the banquet.
The banquet was so-so, neither good nor bad, and the food was alright, thanks to the cooking of Sha Zhu.
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu toasted each other again, and after a lively meal, Sun Zhengguo went home with his father.
"You must be exhausted today. Go and take a rest."
As soon as I got home, my mother, Lin Wencui, said.
"It's alright, Mom. You know I'm as strong as an ox."
After chatting with his mother for a while, Sun Zhengguo took another nap and got up early in the morning.
That evening, Xu Damao and his friends came to call Sun Zhengguo to join them in making a ruckus in the bridal chamber. However, Jia Zhangshi was guarding the door, so the ruckus didn't happen, and everyone dispersed and went home.
