In the evening, after get off work, Mr. and Mrs. Sun Dajiang did not go home. Instead, they took Sun Zhengdong and met up with Lin Jiguo's family. The group went to the courtyard house in Ju'er Hutong.
When we arrived at the courtyard, a strong aroma of meat was already wafting through the air.
"Mom and Dad, you're here."
When Sun Zhengdong saw his parents, he quickly ran up to them happily.
"Yes, I just arrived this afternoon."
After saying that, Sun Dahe walked towards Sun Dajiang.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, you're back."
"I thought you weren't coming? What? You really think you're the boss?"
Sun Dajiang said jokingly.
Hehehe!
"How could that be! You're the real Grandpa Zheng Dong, aren't you?"
"Hahaha……."
The family chatted and laughed as they entered the main room.
Soon after, Lin Jiguo arrived with his wife and children. Seeing that everyone was there, Sun Dajiang immediately announced that it was time to eat.
During the meal, everyone remained silent, because the food was so delicious that there was simply no time to chat.
Although Sun Zheng's family had no shortage of food and drink, they dared not take it out to eat while living in that compound. They could only eat it occasionally, otherwise, someone would report them every day.
After dinner, everything on the table was eaten, not even a single steamed bun was left. You can imagine how formidable their eating power was.
After cleaning up the dishes, the group discussed tomorrow's plans, with Sun Dajiang speaking first.
"Dahe, sister-in-law, your sister-in-law and I have also taken leave tomorrow to accompany you to propose marriage. After all, once you leave, there are many things that I, as the elder, will have to handle."
"Thank you, elder brother and sister-in-law. I'm sorry to have troubled you with Zhengdong's matter. As his father, I really can't help you at all."
"Thank you, elder brother and sister-in-law."
Sun Dahe and his wife expressed their sincere gratitude.
Mr. and Mrs. Sun are incredibly devoted to their son. Not only did they find him a job, but they've also helped him find a wife, prepared a dowry, a bicycle, and even a place for him to live.
Compared to his elder brother, he, as the father, couldn't help at all, which is truly shameful.
"We're family, so don't hold back. Just take good care of our parents at home; that's the biggest help you can give me. You all have your own responsibilities to bear!"
"Alright, you brothers don't need to thank me like that. Let's talk about what to bring when we visit tomorrow."
Seeing the two brothers getting sentimental, Lin Wencui quickly got down to business.
"You should ask Zheng Guo about this; he prepared everything," Sun Dajiang said.
When it was his turn, Sun Zhengguo calmly spoke.
"Here's what I'm thinking: since they're short of food, our gifts should mainly consist of food. What do you all think?"
"That's good, it's better than bringing cigarettes and alcohol! Go on."
Lin Wencui praised.
The others also looked at Sun Zhengguo, wondering what he had prepared.
"I've prepared two pounds of pork, two fish, two pounds of fruit candy, and twenty pounds of flour. What do you think? If it's not suitable, we can discuss it further."
"hiss……!"
Everyone gasped. What kind of discussion was this?
These things are comparable to dowry, and the key point is that even if you were given the money, you might not be able to buy them.
On my first visit, bringing these gifts is already the best I could do.
Sun Dajiang waved his hand.
"It's settled then, but we can't let anything be delayed until the items arrive on time."
"Make sure everything is in place before you set off tomorrow morning. What? Do I have to sign a pledge?"
"Hahaha……."
Everyone laughed. They trusted Sun Zhengguo to get things done, so why would he need to sign a pledge? It was just a joke.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Sun Dajiang did not intend to linger. He said goodbye to his younger brother and sister-in-law, and then took his family and Lin Jiguo's family back to the courtyard house.
The next morning, Sun Zhengguo didn't even eat breakfast before pushing his bicycle out.
Upon seeing this, Lin Wencui quickly caught up and asked.
"Aren't you going to eat? What are you doing so early?"
"Mom, I'm going to get some things and take them to Uncle. I'll have breakfast at his place. You can meet up there when you're done with your work."
"Oh! I understand. Then take it easy."
After the two finished speaking, Sun Zhengguo pushed the cart and left the courtyard.
Halfway there, I found a secluded spot, took out the things I had prepared, and rode towards Ju'er Hutong.
Inside the small courtyard, just as my second uncle's family was about to have breakfast, Sun Zhengguo arrived.
Good morning, Uncle and Aunt.
Good morning to you, Zhengguo!
"Jung-guk is here, good morning! Perfect timing for us to have dinner together."
Uncle and Aunt greeted them warmly.
"Okay! I'll unload the stuff first."
After saying that, Sun Zhengguo began unloading the truck.
After unloading the things from the truck, Sun Zhengguo didn't stand on ceremony and sat down at the table to eat breakfast with everyone.
After finishing breakfast, Sun Dahe took out all the things he needed to bring and started loading them onto the truck.
After everything was finished, they waited a while before Mr. and Mrs. Sun arrived, followed by Aunt Chen.
Through Lin Wencui's introduction, Mr. and Mrs. Sun Dahe and Aunt Chen became acquainted.
Aunt Chen strolled around the courtyard for a bit and asked incredulously.
"Will they live in this courtyard when they get married?"
Lin Wencui smiled and nodded in agreement.
"This courtyard is quite large! The rent must be quite high."
“Aunt Chen, Zheng Guo got married and moved in too. This courtyard belongs to his classmate. It’s just a token gesture, it won’t cost much rent.”
Lin Wencui said with a smile.
Although the two families were about to get married, she still lied. In these kinds of things, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Alright, it's about time, let's go!"
Seeing that Aunt Chen kept asking questions, Sun Dajiang urged her on.
"Yes, yes, yes! My brother is still waiting at home! Hehe! I'm leaving now."
Realizing what was happening, Aunt Chen hurriedly said, "We can't let this interfere with our important business."
Because there were so many people today, we had no choice but to walk. The only bicycle we had was loaded with all our belongings.
When Aunt Chen saw the car full of things, she was quite happy, thinking that her niece had finally married the right person.
After everyone left, Sun Zhengguo couldn't wait there any longer, so he simply locked the door and went back to the courtyard house.
at the same time.
Not far from the courtyard house, in a large tenement, Wang Aifang's parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law were also making preparations.
Wang Aihua, the younger sister, was whispering to Wang Aifang.
"Sis, when is your husband arriving? I can't wait any longer! I wonder what he looks like?"
"You little glutton, I think you just want to eat meat, right? Let me tell you, we only managed to buy that little bit of meat today. Don't let people laugh at us at lunchtime."
"Okay, I'm not a child anymore, I won't scare my brother-in-law, hehehe!"
Their parents overheard the sisters' conversation. They were also helpless, as they had only bought four ounces of meat that day, two of which were purchased with meat coupons borrowed from others.
Just as the two sisters were about to talk, a commotion broke out outside.
Wang Aifang quickly ran outside and immediately saw Sun Zhengdong and his group walking towards their house! There were also quite a few onlookers following behind them.
Wang Aifang quickly ran back into the house.
"Mom and Dad, they're here."
After saying that, Wang Aifang hid in her room.
Wang Huaijing smiled; his daughter was shy.
"Let's go, a few of us will go greet the guests."
When the group went outside, they were surprised to see what the group of people were carrying.
No wonder so many people were following behind to watch the show!
It turned out that when Sun Dajiang and his group arrived at the courtyard, they showed off their belongings so that both families would feel proud.
"It seems my sister was right; this family is no ordinary one."
Once he realized what was happening, Wang Huaijing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
