Back in his office, Sun Zhengguo called Zhou Weimin over.
"Chief, you wanted to see me?"
"Okay! Sit down."
After Zhou Weimin sat down, Sun Zhengguo glanced at him before smiling and saying, "Weimin, my sister has just started working at the machinery factory."
The unspoken implication of this statement is that my sister wouldn't have come to the machine factory if it weren't for you.
"Director, I've already heard Zheng'an mention it." Zhou Weimin's face was slightly flushed, and he looked quite embarrassed.
He certainly understood what Sun Zhenghong meant, and coupled with his reluctance to call Sun Zheng'an "Second Brother," that's why he acted this way.
"That's not what I meant. Zheng Hong has already started working. When are you planning to come and propose marriage?"
Sun Zhengguo ignored his blushing and directly revealed his true intentions.
"Really?" Zhou Weimin's face lit up with excitement. "Chief, I'm ready anytime. I'll have my mother come and propose marriage then."
"Okay! Let me know when you've set a time."
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something else.
"By the way, Weimin, you are now a deputy section chief. If you marry my sister, you will be eligible to be allocated another room."
"In addition, our unit is also a classified unit. If you want to get married, you will need to submit an application report, and the higher authorities will need to conduct a political review."
"In that case, you can write both reports together. I will give you priority in solving the housing issue. As for the marriage, we can discuss it after your mother arrives."
When Zhou Weimin left the office, he was still a little dizzy; this happiness had come rather suddenly.
With the allocation of rooms and the marriage proposal all happening at once, all the good things in the world have come together.
However, the priority right now is to submit the report first.
Having discussed Zhou Weimin, let's now talk about Sun Zhenghong. Since his brother left, Section Chief Zhang kept his word and immediately made meticulous arrangements.
He first summoned a middle-aged woman named Zhou Xiuying, who was also a senior accountant.
"Comrade Zhou Xiuying, this is a talent introduced to our factory. Starting today, I would appreciate it if you could mentor her and ensure that she masters the business in the shortest possible time. Can you do that?"
Section Chief Zhang pointed at Sun Zhenghong and said to Zhou Xiuying.
As soon as Zhou Xiuying entered, she saw Sun Zhenghong. Judging from her clothes, her appearance, and Section Chief Zhang's attitude, it was not hard to tell that this girl was a person with connections among connections.
Therefore, after Section Chief Zhang finished speaking, she immediately stepped forward and took Sun Zhenghong's hand as if they were old friends.
"Don't worry, Section Chief Zhang. As long as this young lady is willing to learn, I will definitely not hold anything back."
Sun Zhenghong was stunned by what she saw, feeling that this person was being unusually enthusiastic.
"Auntie, thank you!"
"Hey! Why are you calling me 'Auntie'? I'm not much older than you. If you think highly of me, just call me Sister Zhou."
Hearing Zhou Xiuying's words, Sun Zhenghong felt as if a thousand alpacas were running through his heart.
This week, Xiuying is probably older than her mother. You want me to call her "sister"? Are you serious?
However, since she had already made the offer, we couldn't very well refuse her kindness.
"Sister Zhou, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future."
"Ah! That's right."
Zhou Xiuying immediately beamed with joy, then looked at Section Chief Zhang.
"Section Chief Zhang, if there's nothing else, I'll go out and take care of my business. I can give this young lady some pointers."
"Then go ahead! Your work attitude is excellent, I know what I'm doing."
Section Chief Zhang waved his hand and said with considerable satisfaction.
That was exactly what Zhou Xiuying wanted to hear. She happily grabbed the still-dazed Sun Zhenghong and left the office with a smile.
On his way home after get off work in the evening, the entire car became Sun Zhenghong's personal performance show.
All I could hear was her chattering away, recounting what she had seen and heard at work that day, and how kind Sister Zhou was to her, willing to teach her everything.
After listening, Sun Zhengguo did not express any opinion, and the others all understood the implication.
This isn't doing this for your own good; it's clearly just because of Sun Zhengguo!
A few days later, with Sun Zhengguo's mediation, Zhou Weimin was allocated another room, and his marriage application was officially approved by his superiors.
In other words, Zhou Weimin now has three rooms, none of which are large, but they are enough for his needs.
Zhou Weimin plans to use one of the larger rooms as his wedding room, another room for his mother and sister, and the remaining room for his future child.
Zhou's mother and younger sister, Zhou Weihua, had already been brought to the city by Zhou Weimin the moment they received the house.
After all, his mother raised him and worked hard to send him to university; he deserved to enjoy his retirement.
Upon learning of Zhou's mother's arrival, Sun Zhenghong was determined to pay her a visit, since Zhou Weimin had already been to her home, but she had not yet met her future mother-in-law.
So, after work that day, Sun Zhenghong didn't take his older brother's car home, but instead rode on Zhou Weimin's bicycle to the Zhou family's house.
The Zhou family's house was not far from the machinery factory; it was a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).
Zhou Weimin's three rooms were located in the backyard of these two courtyards.
At this moment, in the Zhou family's makeshift kitchen, Zhou's mother and daughter were busy preparing dinner.
Zhou's mother was a genuine countrywoman who didn't even have a name. In the village, people usually called her Zhou Wangshi.
My daughter, Zhou Weihua, is 18 years old this year. She had average grades in school, so she only graduated from junior high school.
Perhaps it was because of the Zhou family's good genes; the older brother was handsome, and the younger sister was equally good-looking, already blossoming into a graceful young lady at only 18 years old.
If it weren't for this trip to the city, the doorsteps of those seeking marriage in the countryside would probably be worn down by suitors.
"Mom, do you think my future sister-in-law will be easy to get along with?"
In the kitchen, Zhou Weihua, who was making steamed buns, asked his mother curiously.
"I don't know either?"
With a worried look on her face, Zhou's mother said, "Weihua, we are all from the countryside. Your sister-in-law's family is different. When she marries into the family, we should be more accommodating and not let your brother suffer in the middle."
"Okay! I understand."
Zhou Weihua had even imagined a harmonious relationship with his future sister-in-law.
But her mother's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing her gossipy heart.
As the two were talking, Zhou Weimin led Sun Zhenghong back to the courtyard gate.
As soon as the two arrived at the door, they ran into their kind neighbor, Grandpa Wang.
"Hey! Weimin's back. He brought his girlfriend home again today."
"Yes, Uncle Wang, my mother is here, and my partner insisted on coming to visit her after finding out."
Zhou Weimin responded politely.
"Hello, Uncle Wang."
Because Sun Zhenghong had been here before, she followed behind and greeted him.
"Hey! Hello, hello."
After greeting the other neighbors, the two pushed their cart into the backyard.
After the two left, an old lady at the door gossiped, "Uncle Wang, I heard that this young lady's family are all high-ranking officials. How come she married Zhou Weimin, this country bumpkin?"
"What are you saying? Weimin is doing quite well now. He's a minor official, earning eighty or ninety yuan a month. He's also good-looking. If you don't marry someone like that, are you going to marry your good-for-nothing son?"
"snort!"
Feeling embarrassed by Grandpa Wang's teasing, the woman snorted and slunk away from the doorway.
