At noon, the Sun siblings were eating lunch. They had all been busy all morning and were hungry. They ate their lunch in silence.
After finishing their meal, the siblings cleaned up the dishes. After they were done, Sun Zheng'an couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, are we going again this afternoon? I don't think it's any fun at all."
"Of course we'll go. We've already started, we can't just give up halfway and let others look down on us."
Sun Zhengguo said he couldn't bear the shame.
"Yes! I agree with what you said, brother. Mom is still there! If we don't go, she'll lose face."
Sun Zheng'an had only said it casually, and now that he saw that neither of them agreed, he gave up the idea and stood up to go back to his room.
"I'll rest for a while. Call me when you're ready to leave."
After his younger brother left, Sun Zhengguo spoke to his younger sister.
"You should go and rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time."
After his sister left, bored, Sun Zhengguo walked towards the door.
...
Xinjiekou Subdistrict Office, Women's Federation Office.
Several staff members who had just finished eating and were preparing to rest suddenly received a notice to go and support the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office.
So the group didn't even have time to rest, they quickly got on their bikes and headed to Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office, including Wang Guiying.
A dozen minutes later, the group arrived at their destination – Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office. Director Wang warmly welcomed them and assigned Wang Guiying and another person to Lin Wencui's group, while the other two were assigned to the children's group.
"Excuse me, which one of you is Deputy Director Lin?"
When Wang Guiying and her companion arrived at the backyard, they asked Lin Wencui because they did not recognize her.
"That's me, comrades. May I ask what business you have with me?"
Lin Wencui replied.
She already had a guess that the two people were there to help, but she still wanted to ask.
"Is that so? We're here to help. I'm Wang Guiying, and this is Xiao Li. Just tell us what you need."
"Welcome, welcome! You've come at the perfect time. We're short-handed. Here's the thing: your task is..."
Lin Wencui didn't stand on ceremony and directly assigned tasks.
“Okay, no problem, it’s our old business, we know how to do it.”
Wang Guiying and her colleague didn't stand on ceremony. Knowing that people would come to meet them for blind dates as soon as they started work in the afternoon, they quickly threw themselves into their work, hoping that more girls would join the blind date queue in the afternoon.
As for their relationship, neither of them knew the other's name, and they missed each other perfectly.
Before 1 p.m., the siblings arrived at the neighborhood office. Sun Zhenghong went to the backyard, while the two brothers, without needing any instructions, put on red armbands and stood at the entrance to guide the crowd.
Before starting work, Officer Liu was worried the two brothers wouldn't show up, so he came to check on them. He was very satisfied; the two brothers hadn't skipped work, which deserves praise.
As the official start of work began, people started rushing to the location, afraid of being late and missing their turn. The two brothers also got busy.
After half an hour of busy work, the two brothers were covered in sweat. Fortunately, almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, including the Yan and He families.
Those who are left out are probably still observing, but they will be disappointed, because there probably won't be enough women and children left to go around.
"You two did a great job and completed today's task excellently. I have already spoken with Director Wang and we can't let you work for nothing. You'll each receive an enamel mug as a reward later."
"Thank you, Officer Liu."
Sun Zheng'an hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
You have to understand that people in this era value honor very much. Even a certificate of merit is worth showing off, let alone being rewarded with an enamel mug.
Sun Zhengguo didn't think much of it, he just smiled and thanked him.
"Alright, no need to thank me! You're all covered in sweat, come in and rest! I'll bring you your cups in a bit."
"Okay!"
The two brothers happily entered the courtyard, and Officer Liu kept his word, giving each of them an enamel mug with the words "Serve the People" printed on it and a large "Award" written on the back.
Sun Zheng'an took the cup, looked at the words on it, and his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. Holding the empty cup, he called Sun Zhengguo and headed towards the backyard, ready to show off.
In the backyard of the neighborhood office, everything was ready, all personnel were in place, and the young men and women began to enter.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Wencui announced the schedule, and the matchmaking event officially began.
At this moment, the two brothers also entered the backyard. Sun Zheng'an was holding a cup and showing it off all over the place!
Sun Zhengguo was stunned!
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. What did he see?
My mother-in-law has arrived!
Nobody notified me! How did they just come like that?
But now was not the time to think, so Sun Zhengguo quickly went over.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?"
Wang Guiying was observing the situation on the field when she suddenly heard someone shout. She quickly turned around to look.
"Hey! Zhengguo, what brings you here?"
"Auntie, my mom and I came together to help out."
At this moment, Lin Wencui saw her son talking to Sister Wang and, feeling curious, walked over.
"What's wrong, Zhengguo? Do you know Sister Wang?"
Sun Zhengguo was instantly stunned. It was more than just knowing each other.
Her daughter is practically your daughter-in-law now, do you think we know each other?
"But now is not the time to talk about these things," Sun Zhengguo quickly explained.
"Mom, Aunt Wang is Xiaowei's mother."
"ah!"
"So we're in-laws! It's true what they say, we don't recognize each other. If there's anything I've done wrong, I hope you'll forgive me, Sister Wang."
Although the two families are not yet related by marriage, Wang Guiying does not object to the term "in-laws" and then said with a smile.
"No, no, little sister, we didn't know each other before, but it's not too late to get to know each other now. We can visit each other more often in the future."
Seeing the two mothers chatting together in a harmonious scene, Sun Zhengguo felt relieved and quietly retreated to the side to watch the matchmaking event.
At this moment, the matchmaking event had already produced its first couple, a remarkably fast turnaround.
When Sun Zhengguo saw the newlyweds, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly!
The Yan family really knows how to scheme; they're always thinking of easy money.
It turns out that the first successful couple was Yan Jiecheng. Presumably, the woman must have had some kind of defect, otherwise she wouldn't have married Yan Jiecheng.
This must have been planned by the Yan family, who thought that if they were the first to succeed, they could get a job.
Obviously, they're overthinking it. That was just a show this morning, a show, you know what I mean?
Didn't you see the reporters are here?
The Yan family was overjoyed, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to announce the good news.
Did the boss oversleep during his afternoon nap?
"Yes, yes, yes! That must be it. Maybe we'll have good news soon."
Yan Bugui silently encouraged himself.
