The west wing of the backyard is very large, with a total of five rooms.
When Sun Zhengguo walked in, he finally understood why those beasts were so obsessed with the house.
But they didn't realize that this house was specially allocated to Wang Lefeng by Minister Bai in order to win people's hearts.
Even if it were taken back, it wouldn't be their turn; they're a bunch of idiots.
Thinking of this, Sun Zhengguo shook his head and followed the others into the house.
After they sat down, Zhang Guixiang's eldest daughter-in-law immediately brought over two cups of tea.
"Director Sun, District Chief Song, please have some tea."
"Thanks!"
After expressing his gratitude, Sun Zhengguo handed over the things he had brought to Zhang Guixiang.
The cloth bag was filled with things like flour, meat, and fruit.
District Chief Song happened to be visiting to offer his condolences and had plenty of supplies, so he didn't come empty-handed.
Seeing that Sun Zhengguo had done her a great favor, Zhang Guixiang was reluctant to accept the money. After some back and forth, she had no choice but to shamelessly accept it.
Next, the group started talking. Zhang Guixiang kept trying to find out about Wang Lefeng, but Sun Zhengguo always brushed her off with various excuses.
District Chief Song wasn't stupid. Through analyzing various situations, he probably already guessed what was going on, but he didn't say anything more.
Soon, Jiang Yuan had almost finished dealing with the situation and went inside to report.
"Director Sun, District Chief Song, all those who spread rumors have been arrested. There may be one or two who have escaped. I will keep a close eye on the situation and notify you immediately if there are any new developments in the case."
"Yes! Very good, Director Jiang. We must not let any of these bad apples get away with it. I will continue to monitor the situation."
With just one sentence from District Chief Song, the tone was set, and these people were destined to meet a bad end.
Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo calmed down, and District Chief Song also breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone continued chatting and laughing.
After a short while, District Chief Song, seeing that it was almost time, took the opportunity to say goodbye.
After they left, Sun Zhengguo stayed for a while longer before preparing to depart.
Seeing that the person was about to leave, Zhang Guixiang stood up and tried to persuade them to stay.
"Director Sun, you absolutely must stay for a meal before you leave today, otherwise I'll feel really bad. You don't know how many times my husband, Lao Wang, has said this."
He said that the first full meal he ever had was a steamed bun with white flour that Director Sun treated him to, and that Director Sun himself cooked it; he still remembers the taste vividly.
"Hahaha!" Upon hearing the past being brought up again, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Sister-in-law, not today. I have things to do. I'll come over for dinner when Lao Wang gets back. How about that?"
Sun Zhengguo was actually fine; he just didn't want to cause trouble for others.
But Zhang Guixiang didn't know that and thought he really had something to do. In order not to delay him from doing his business, she had no choice but to give up.
So the whole family turned out and politely escorted the person to the front door.
However, when the neighbors passed by the courtyard this time, their eyes were filled with awe when they saw Sun Zhengguo again.
Just think about the scene of the arrests, it was really scary. Seven or eight people were taken away at once, and I heard they will be sentenced. Are you scared?
At the gate, next to the car, Sun Zhengguo looked at Wang Lefeng's two sons, worried that they might cause more trouble, so he gave them repeated instructions.
“Wang Gang, Wang Tie, your father and I are good friends. If your family ever encounters any difficulties in the future, you can come to the research institute to find me, or you can come to my house.”
"Thank you, Uncle Sun," the two brothers said in unison.
After giving instructions to his two brothers, Sun Zhengguo gestured for everyone to go back before driving away.
When he got home, it was already late. Ning Xiaowei asked him casually when she saw her husband come home so late.
"Jung-guk, didn't you leave work early today? Why are you only coming back now?"
"Hey! I went to Xinjiekou to run some errands and ran into a frustrating situation, so I just dealt with it on the side."
Afterwards, Sun Zhengguo recounted the events of the afternoon to his family.
The family members were also deeply saddened upon hearing this, as it was similar to what happened to Sun Dajiang! Fortunately, the matter was handled in time.
"Alright, alright, that's over. Let's talk about something else," Grandpa said, walking over and sitting down.
"Zhengguo, your dad said we should have dinner at the courtyard tomorrow night. What do you think about that?"
"I don't mind, Grandpa, you decide."
"Okay! Let's meet at the courtyard house tomorrow, so that their two families don't have to travel back and forth."
Grandpa is old now, and his wish is actually very simple: for the family to be reunited.
That's all!
...
The next day, Lunar New Year's Eve, was uneventful in the morning.
After lunch, everyone in the family was busy, but Sun Zhengguo had nothing to do, so he took his daughter to visit the neighbors next door.
As for writing and pasting couplets in the family, the work has been passed down to the sons.
Sun Zhengguo didn't return home until 3 p.m. After seeing his sons had finished putting up the Spring Festival couplets, he gave them instructions.
"Shujie, Shukang, and Shusheng, the three of you should ride your bikes to Grandpa's house now. We'll have our reunion dinner there tonight."
The three sons were unhappy when they heard this, and the eldest son, as their representative, voiced his opinion.
"Dad, why don't you go through the trouble of taking Great-Grandpa and the others there first, and then come back to pick us up later?"
"Hehehe!" Sun Zhengguo chuckled. "No way. Either you three show some class, my car can only carry one more person, so you decide what to do?"
"Two peaches can kill three warriors! Dad, you're trying to make us three brothers fight amongst ourselves. But we won't fall for it. Let's give this opportunity to our younger brother!"
After Sun Shujie finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow at his brother, and the two of them put on their cotton hats and gloves and prepared to go out.
But to everyone's surprise, Sun Shusheng, who could have stayed and taken the ride, grabbed the two of them instead.
"Big brother, second brother, if you're not going to take the car, I won't either. Wait for me."
As he spoke, he put on his cotton hat and gloves, and the three of them waved to their family members before heading out the door.
"Good, that's tough." Sun Zhengguo gave a thumbs up as he watched his three sons walk away.
Actually, he just wanted to test how his three sons would react. The eldest son was sure to have nothing to say, but he didn't expect that the youngest son would also be so responsible.
Grandpa, Grandma, and Ning Xiaowei all witnessed all of this, but they did not step forward to speak up for them.
After all, children's growth cannot be achieved by simply indulging them, especially since the eldest child is already of marriageable age and should be more sensible.
...
On the other side.
Inside and outside the courtyard, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, and children were running and playing, creating a joyful and harmonious scene.
With the harvest getting better and better these days, the aroma of meat fills every household.
Lin Wencui had just finished arranging for people to put up the couplets at the front gate when she saw two bicycles heading this way.
Upon closer inspection, she exclaimed, "Oh! Isn't this my grandson?"
"Grandma~~~"
The three of them got out of the car while greeting each other.
"Hey! Hurry up, let's go inside and warm up by the fire. It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Lin Wencui felt sorry for her grandson, so she pushed and pulled them into the yard.
