While Sun Zhengguo was still absorbing this energy, more than an hour had passed outside.
In that hour, the grandparents had already thoroughly investigated Zhou Weimin's background.
The elderly couple were quite satisfied with Zhou Weimin because of his good looks, good job, and especially his recent promotion to cadre.
As for rural people?
Give me a break! You're just a country bumpkin yourself, what right do you have to look down on others for being from the countryside?
Zhou Weimin also learned that the director had not gone to take a bath, but to practice martial arts, and that the bath was made with Chinese herbal medicine.
When Sun Zhenghong told him about this, he was somewhat incredulous.
In his mind, Sun Zhengguo should be like him, belonging to the type of scholar.
But now you're telling me he still practices martial arts, and has been practicing for many years, and seems quite skilled at it.
With your exceptional abilities, have you ever considered giving others a chance to survive?
"Weimin, does your mother know about your relationship with Zhenghong from our family? What is her attitude?"
Seeing that their grandson hadn't come out for a long time, and having gotten to know the young man quite well over this period, the grandparents asked about his mother's attitude.
“Grandpa, I told you when I went home last time that my mom had no objections,” Zhou Weimin said truthfully.
Zhou Weimin still remembers this incident vividly.
Her mother was a genuine, honest rural woman. When she heard that her son had found a girlfriend in the city, her first reaction was definitely happiness.
However, when she learned about her future daughter-in-law's family background, she was shocked and advised her son not to have any unrealistic dreams, as they were not worthy of such a family.
Finally, after Zhou Weimin's repeated persuasion and explanation, his mother reluctantly accepted this reality.
However, despite accepting the idea, his mother was still not optimistic, mainly because she was afraid that her son would be mistreated.
"Squeak~!"
Just as the people outside were still talking, the door was opened from the inside, and Sun Zhengguo walked out with a smile on his face.
"Zhengguo, you succeeded." The grandfather asked nervously as he saw his grandson come out.
"Grandpa, such a big radish will not only help with digestion, but also make things go smoothly."
"Hahaha……!"
Hearing that Sun Zhengguo was still in the mood to joke, everyone laughed along, knowing that he must have succeeded.
"Brother, Weimin came here today to thank you, but you, on the contrary, hid in your room by yourself and took some kind of medicinal bath."
Sun Zhenghong pretended to be dissatisfied, but actually wanted his brother to cause less trouble for Zhou Weimin.
Sun Zhengguo was fully aware of his sister's actions. Now that he had accepted her, he certainly wouldn't cause her any more trouble.
Therefore, his tone of voice became very gentle.
"Look at what you're saying. I didn't know he was coming. Besides, the medicine has already been brewed and can't be wasted."
Seeing the director's attitude, Zhou Weimin felt reassured and walked over boldly.
"Director, I didn't come here today for any other reason than to thank you. I just bought a few things, and I hope you won't mind."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Sun Zhengguo glanced at the small table in the courtyard.
On the table were two cans of fruit, a tub of malted milk powder, Da Shun Zhai's sugar-coated sesame cakes, and a small packet of jasmine tea.
This amount of stuff may not seem like much, but Sun Zhengguo knew it must have cost a lot, and the tickets were hard to come by. It seemed that Zhou Weimin was quite thoughtful.
However, Sun Zhengguo had no intention of accepting these things. It wasn't that he was particularly high-minded, but rather that Zhou Weimin had only been working for a short time and was probably short of money.
Thinking about all this, Sun Zhengguo's expression turned serious.
“Weimin, your ideological awareness still needs improvement. I am very satisfied that you came to see me, but I cannot accept these things. Take them all with you when you leave.”
"Director, I...?" Zhou Weimin looked troubled, frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
"Just take it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Oh, and we'll have lunch here."
Hearing her brother's words, Sun Zhenghong smiled. She already knew that her brother didn't mean anything by it; he genuinely didn't want to accept Zhou Weimin's gifts.
So she quickly reminded Zhou Weimin.
“Weimin, since your brother says so, you can take it with you when you leave. I told you long ago that your brother wouldn’t care about your little things, but you didn’t believe me.”
Having said all that, what could Zhou Weimin say? He could only nod helplessly.
Seeing Zhou Weimin's aggrieved and pathetic appearance, Sun Zhengguo chuckled inwardly. No wonder the new son-in-law was afraid to come over; he was caught in a dilemma, and even just standing there seemed superfluous.
To put Zhou Weimin at ease and make him feel less restrained, Sun Zhengguo simply unleashed his ultimate move.
"Weimin, from now on, at home or when there are no outsiders, just call me Big Brother, just like my sister does!"
Alright! Sun Zhengguo's words reassured Zhou Weimin, which was tantamount to direct approval.
"Hey, Chief!"
"Cough cough cough!" Sun Zhenghong coughed lightly twice from the side, then lightly kicked Zhou Weimin with his foot.
"Oh! Big...Big Brother."
"Okay! Sit wherever you like, don't be shy, just make yourself at home."
Sun Zhengguo happily agreed, and then said to his grandmother.
"Grandma, the meat and beef I brought back last night, let's stew them at noon! Also, kill a chicken and a fish, my brother-in-law is coming over at noon, so we won't have to worry about not being able to finish them."
"Alright, let me boil some water, then I'll kill the chicken."
After Grandma finished speaking, she happily ran to the kitchen. When Sun Zhenghong saw this, he happily followed her, his purpose being self-evident.
Then the group of people in the courtyard sat down at a small table to drink tea and chat.
Around noon, Sun Zhengguo suddenly heard a car horn outside, so he quickly went outside the yard.
Sure enough, as soon as he came outside, he saw his brother-in-law looking at the jeep, while Wang Aihua stood to the side holding the child.
"Hey! Brother and sister-in-law, you've come all this way, why aren't you coming inside? What are you looking at here for?"
"Brother-in-law, I've discovered you're really something. Is this the new car your company provided you with? Wow! Impressive!" Ning Dazhuang gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but praise him.
"What's so great about it! I can't compare to you. Every time you come back, you drive. I even used your car for my wedding!" Sun Zhengguo replied modestly.
“That’s different. My car is borrowed, but yours is a real company car,” Ning Dazhuang explained.
"..."
"..."
"Hey! You two, stop flattering each other. Let's go inside!"
Wang Aihua couldn't stand it any longer and had to forcibly interrupt the two of them's mutual flattery.
"Hehe! My wife is right, let's go in now."
After Ning Dazhuang finished speaking, he took two more bottles of good wine and a carton of good cigarettes from the car, and then the group went into the yard together.
The grandparents were certainly familiar with Ning Dazhuang and his wife, so they greeted each other directly.
Then Sun Zhengguo introduced Zhou Weimin, and the two sides got to know each other for the first time and exchanged greetings.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sun Zhengguo immediately announced that they would begin eating.
