At 8:30 a.m., all preparations were complete, and people who had made appointments began to arrive one after another. The Sun brothers' task was to greet and guide the people at the main gate.
The work done by Lin Wencui and her colleagues in the backyard is also progressing well. About ten young women have already agreed to the marriage, and the rest still need to be persuaded.
At the entrance of the neighborhood office, the two brothers, who were already familiar with the work process, welcomed their first acquaintance, Chen Xiaosan from the backyard.
"Brother San, are you here to find a wife?"
Seeing the Sun brothers, Chen Xiaosan felt a little embarrassed and said with a blush.
"I just came to take a look, I don't even know if it will work out. By the way, what are you two brothers doing here?"
"We had nothing to do at home, so we came to help my mom."
"Zheng'an, take Xiao San Ge inside first and arrange for him to stay in the first room on the left."
"Okay!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you two brothers."
After Chen Xiaosan went inside, Yan Bugui and his family arrived shortly afterward.
Yan Bugui wasn't surprised to see Sun Zhengguo wearing a red armband and directing people at the door.
He knew Lin Wencui was going to help out at the neighborhood office when he went out in the morning.
"Are the three uncles and three aunts here to find a wife for Brother Jiecheng?"
Yan Bugui and his wife didn't seem to mind, they just smiled. Yan Jiecheng, who was standing to the side, turned ashen-faced upon hearing this, as if coming to this blind date was some kind of shameful thing.
"Jung-guk, you're helping out here too. Tell me, do you have any inside information? So I can be prepared."
Yan Bugui, trying to be clever, said in a low voice.
"Uncle, there really isn't any. How about this, I'll take you in first."
Yan Jiecheng was also arranged to stay in the first room on the left, while the others waited in the courtyard.
After finishing with Yan Bugui's family, two more families came, which the two brothers handled with ease.
A few minutes later, He Daqing and his family arrived.
Upon seeing the Sun brothers, He Daqing's perpetually expressionless face remained unchanged.
The silly boy next to me was a little different today. He had dressed up specially, taking off his greasy clothes and putting on clean ones. He stood there with a shy look on his face, which seemed very out of place.
"Brother Zhengguo, where is Sister Zhenghong?"
He Yushui didn't care about all that; she was just there to have fun, so she asked directly.
"She's in the backyard! Go find her!"
Upon hearing this, He Yushui skipped and hopped towards the backyard. Sun Zhengguo then spoke to the He family father and son.
"Uncle He, Brother Zhu, I'll take you inside."
"Thank you, Zhengguo."
After seeing off the He family father and son, Sun Zhengguo was about to return to the main gate when Officer Liu rushed over.
"Xiao Sun, because there are too many people, exceeding our capacity, Director Wang said that if anyone else comes, you should tell them to come back in the afternoon. Be gentle in your tone, so as not to scare them away."
"Don't worry, Officer Liu, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."
After giving his instructions, Officer Liu left in a hurry. District Chief Wu was coming to inspect the work later, and he wished he could be two people in one. He didn't have time to chat idly.
When the two brothers returned to the entrance, they weren't as busy anymore; they only needed to inform people. Those who missed the boat, seeing the brothers' sincere attitude, happily said they would definitely come in the afternoon.
After turning down many people, Mr. and Mrs. Yi Zhonghai finally arrived at the neighborhood office.
On the way there, they met many people like them. When they learned that the morning's schedule had been completed and they would go in the afternoon, Aunt Yi couldn't help but complain.
"Honey, what did I tell you? I told you to come earlier because you were afraid of running into people in the yard and losing face. Now look what's happened, if you go in the afternoon, it'll be too late."
Despite their complaints, the couple remained determined to come and see for themselves.
"Zhengguo and Zheng'an, what are you doing here?"
Seeing the two brothers standing at the door, Aunt Yi asked in surprise.
"Uncle Yi, Aunt Yi, my brother and I are here to guide the crowd and maintain order. Why are you only arriving now?"
As expected, Aunt Yi had already guessed that the two brothers were there to help, and they should still have a chance.
"Jung-guk, could you please do us a favor and let us in?"
Aunt Yi said with a hopeful look on her face.
"this……?"
Sun Zhengguo had the authority to handle this small matter, but he was afraid they wouldn't appreciate it if it were too easy, so he pretended to be in a difficult position.
At this point, Yi Zhonghai realized he couldn't keep up the act any longer and hurriedly pleaded.
“Zhengguo, we’re all from the same compound, please help us out. Your aunt and I will definitely remember your kindness.”
Seeing Yi Zhonghai lower his head, Sun Zhengguo stopped pretending and looked around before speaking in a pretentious manner.
"Alright then! Just make sure no one sees it."
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Zheng'an, lead Grandpa Yi and Grandma Yi to the second room on the right."
"Okay!"
Today, the people are all arranged separately: one room for those looking for a wife, one room for those adopting a child, and another room for those who have lost their wives and are remarrying. You can't get them mixed up.
At 9:30 a.m., District Chief Wu arrived, and Director Wang, who had received the news, was already waiting at the door to greet him.
After exchanging pleasantries, Director Wang began to report on his work.
Upon learning of the enthusiastic participation of the residents, District Chief Wu expressed his approval.
District Chief Wu then announced the official start of the event, and everyone then walked together into the backyard.
The task of greeting guests at the door for the two Sun brothers has come to a temporary end.
The two brothers, being restless individuals, also went to the backyard to watch the commotion under the guise of maintaining order.
In the backyard at this moment, a large group of women, each with a different appearance, were gathered together, dazzling the eye.
Lin Wencui was encouraging them and doing her final ideological work.
"Sisters, the hardships are only temporary. You have overcome many obstacles to come to Beijing. Some of you have even lost loved ones, but the Party and the country have not forgotten you."
"We've organized this matchmaking event for you today, so you must seize this opportunity and pursue your own happiness..."
Lin Wencui was still giving a passionate speech, unaware that District Chief Wu and his entourage had already arrived in the backyard and were listening with great interest.
"Crackling sound..."
"Deputy Director Lin spoke well!"
Upon seeing the big shot appear, Lin Wencui quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Hello, District Chief Wu, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
After the two sides shook hands, District Chief Wu affirmed the work of the Women's Federation. Upon learning that there was still a shortage of manpower, he immediately stated that another batch of people would be sent over to help in the afternoon.
With the arrival of the bigwigs, the matchmaking event officially began.
