After this conversation, Sun Zhenghong resolved her inner conflict and regained her usual liveliness and cheerfulness. Lin Wencui was naturally delighted to see the family in harmony.
However, to prevent her daughter from getting carried away, Lin Wencui still gave her a warning.
"Zhenghong, although your family has agreed to your relationship, you must remember that you are still a student. Don't do anything out of line."
"Okay, Mom, I promise nothing out of line will happen."
After making his promise, Sun Zhenghong looked at his elder brother and said with a slightly unsure voice.
"Brother, when you work in the future, don't make things difficult for Weimin. It would be best if you could help him more, because he is really hardworking."
"Oh! Right, my second brother is the same."
After hearing their sister's words, the two brothers exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
After all, we'll be on the same side from now on, so we'll definitely lend a hand.
After discussing her sister's marriage, everyone teased her uncle Jie for a while until it was getting late, at which point Lin Wencui and the others returned to the courtyard house.
Before leaving, Lin Wencui reminded Sun Zhengguo not to forget about dinner tomorrow.
The next morning, after breakfast, Sun Zhengguo took his wife and children back to the courtyard house to prepare for the midday banquet.
Unexpectedly, upon returning to the courtyard house, they encountered Liu Guangqi and his entourage, who were on their way to pick up the bride.
Sun Zhengguo casually offered his blessings: "Congratulations! Congratulations! Guangqi, I wish you a happy marriage and a long and happy life together."
"Thank you! Thank you! Here, have some candy."
Liu Guangqi knew that Sun Zhengguo didn't smoke, so he took a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to him.
Sun Zhengguo didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the wedding candy with a smile, "Thank you! This is wedding candy, I definitely have to try it."
Seeing Sun Zhengguo holding a handful of wedding candy, Yan Bugui was extremely envious.
The Liu family is really selective in their treatment of people. Other families give out two pieces of candy, so why does Sun Zhengguo have to give out a whole handful?
However, this little incident at the door didn't affect anyone. Liu Guangqi left after handing out the candy, since there was a time limit for the wedding procession, and they couldn't miss the auspicious time.
After Liu Guangqi left, Sun Zhengguo was about to go home when Liu Haizhong came up to him with a smile.
"Deputy Director Sun, did your mother tell you about the lunch invitation?"
"Second Uncle, my mother told me not to worry, I'll be there on time at noon," Sun Zhengguo said, patting his chest and giving Liu Haizhong plenty of face.
"That's good, that's good. Your presence will surely bring honor to my humble abode."
When Liu Haizhong started using idioms, Sun Zhengguo felt a chill run down his spine.
Who the hell learned these words from? How come they seem so out of place coming out of Liu Haizhong's mouth?
Actually, Liu Haizhong didn't know these words either. In order to welcome the guests he considered to be distinguished guests, these were all the results of his son's temporary training.
After finishing their business, Liu Haizhong returned to the backyard with great satisfaction.
As for why he was so satisfied?
On the one hand, Sun Zhengguo gave them face, not only agreeing to come but also guaranteeing that he would be there on time.
On the other hand, he felt good about himself because he had just used a newly learned idiom.
The moment he uttered the idiom, he caught a glimpse of Sun Zhengguo's eyes, which were different from before; he was clearly shocked.
This is enough to show that the words the son taught him had an effect.
If Sun Zhengguo knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking, he would definitely cry out in injustice, saying, "What am I shocked about? It's just like hearing something ivory coming out of a dog's mouth."
Around 10 a.m., a commotion suddenly broke out outside. Sun Zhengguo knew that it must be Liu Guangqi returning from picking up his bride.
So, the Sun family members also came to the door, ready to watch the excitement.
"Crack... Boom, boom..."
As the firecrackers went off, the entrance became crowded, and everyone's eyes were on the bride.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! The bride is here! The bride is here!"
"Tiger, push forward, let's get some candy."
"Hey! Stop pushing, you're going to lose your shoes."
"..."
As soon as he arrived at the door, Sun Zhengguo saw that the bride was surrounded by a crowd, with everyone vying for wedding candy.
Liu Guangqi exerted tremendous effort to successfully rescue the hostages, finally managing to escape the encirclement and run towards the backyard by pulling and dragging them.
As the wedding procession returned, everyone received wedding candy and began to slowly disperse.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the Sun family members all went back to their houses. They waited until almost noon, when Sun Zhengguo checked the time and, without asking anyone to call him, went to the Central Court.
Because the Liu family's banquet was arranged in the central courtyard.
Today, the Liu family is having a happy occasion, but they've only prepared enough for two tables of guests. It's not that they're stingy, but rather that they can't afford it.
Originally, the Liu family did not plan to hold a banquet, but considering the bride's family status and to save face for everyone, they went to great lengths to set up two tables of food.
To prepare for these two banquets, Liu Haizhong spent several nights running around the black market, spending over a hundred yuan before finally managing to procure the supplies, demonstrating just how scarce resources are these days.
If you add in the large items he purchased, it's fair to say that Liu Haizhong emptied his family's coffers for the wedding of the young master of the family.
And today's chefs will definitely include the He family; Liu Haizhong originally only invited He Daqing and his daughter.
But it just so happens to be the weekend, and Sha Zhu, in order to earn a living, also offered to help out. Helpless, Liu Haizhong could only grit his teeth and agree.
"Hey! Uncle He, Brother Zhu, Sister Yushui, you've all mobilized your whole family!"
Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, Sun Zhengguo saw the He family members busy at work and jokingly remarked.
Hehehe!
He Daqing and his daughter were busy, so he just nodded in acknowledgment, while Sha Zhu was secretly amused.
"Me? I'm not a real person. I'm just here under the guise of helping out, trying to make a living. I don't get paid."
"Why can't you keep your mouth shut? What nonsense are you spouting all day long? Luckily, Zheng Guo isn't an outsider, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself."
Sha Zhu's self-deprecating remark immediately drew a scolding from He Daqing.
"It's alright, it's alright, Uncle He. He's just making a living with his skills, there's nothing shameful about it."
“Listen to that, Dad. That’s why Zheng Guo is such a cultured man! He speaks with such finesse.”
He Daqing didn't argue with his son, but just glared at him and then stopped talking and started working silently.
Seeing that Laozi remained silent, Shazhu thought he had the upper hand and secretly felt smug.
"By the way, Brother Zhu, where's the accountant today? And where's Uncle San?"
When Sun Zhengguo asked about this, Shazhu looked on with disdain.
"Forget it! There are only two tables of people in total. I guess you're the only one invited to this courtyard. Why would we need an accountant? Do you expect us to invite that stingy old man Yan to freeload?"
"Oh! I see. I'll go to the backyard and pay the money first."
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he walked towards the backyard.
