Chapter 86 I never dared to think like this even in my dreams

Zhang Kang smiled at everyone. Having the opportunity to visit Old Wang's house, he was the first to enter the stone house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the Wang family's dining table was filled with various dishes. In addition to Zhai Ximo's family of three, there seemed to be other relatives. Zhang Kang glanced at Zhu Yan out of the corner of his eye and found that the girl was a little shy and did not seem to have an ordinary relationship with the Wang family.

"Could this girl be the object of that bastard Wang Zonghao's love?"

As he thought about this, he looked at Zhu Yan twice more.

"What are you looking at?"

This scene happened to be seen by Wang Zonghao. He was still angry from the past few days, and this bastard came to the Wang family to show off again.

Wang Zonghao was so angry that his face was instantly filled with hostility.

"We have guests at home, won't you introduce them to us?" Zhang Kang said deliberately.

Wang Ziru heard the tense atmosphere between the two rivals and introduced Zhu Yan and her parents with a smile.

Finally, he said a little embarrassedly: "My younger brother is planning to get married this year, so today I specially asked my uncle and aunt to come over to discuss the wedding date."

"Really? Then congratulations to your brother." Captain Tang said cheerfully.

A distinguished guest came to the house, and he was the deputy captain of the county armed forces. The Wang family was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

In this poor countryside, people usually see their neighbors in the village, and it is rare to see distinguished guests from the county town.

Lin Xiuying quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, and told her eldest son to bring in the teapot and enamelware pot from the yard and send them to the stove room for cleaning.

He asked his daughter to entertain the guests, and then he and his eldest daughter-in-law went to the stove to boil water, made a pot of hot tea and brought it out, "Ximo, pour tea for the guests quickly."

"It's okay, give it to me, Dad, Mom, you go eat, the food is getting cold." Zhai Ximo took the teapot, poured two cups of hot tea and passed them over.

As for Zhang Kang, it was a rare opportunity for him to hang out at Wang's house, so he would definitely not miss the chance to vilify Wang Zonghao.

He took the enamel pot, pretending to drink tea, and deliberately looked at the food on the table. He saw not only wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots, but also stewed pig's trotter soup.

"Hey! Sister-in-law, you guys are eating so well at your parents' house? There's even steamed pork with rice flour, and this is pig's trotter soup?!"

"We are just taking advantage of it! Pig's trotter soup and steamed pork with rice flour. My mother specially made a special trip to entertain my brother's wife and her family." Wang Ziru deliberately lowered her posture and praised her in-laws highly.

The smile in my heart is beautiful.

Captain Tang of the County Armed Forces is truly a relative of the Wang family.

As the old saying goes: It is better to arrive in time than to arrive early.

Why doesn't she use Captain Tang to help her brother get his young wife?

Wang Dongsheng smiled innocently and said, "Ximo, we just had dinner. Although there is nothing delicious in the countryside, we can still have a bowl of hot rice. What do you think, should we invite Captain Tang and your comrades to have a meal?"

"Um."

Zhai Ximo nodded and sat down at the door of the main hall.

Then he sat opposite Captain Tang and asked, "How about having a hot meal here? In the countryside, this is the best food."

"Hehehe..., no need. Thank you uncle." Captain Tang smiled and waved generously towards Wang Dongsheng. He was out on business this time and had other tasks to perform next. He just passed by here and came over to meet Zhai Ximo.

If there is a chance in the future, they will definitely be colleagues.

There's nothing wrong with getting to know each other better.

Seeing this, Wang Dongsheng had no choice but to go back to the dining table and sit down, inviting his in-laws to continue eating.

The three of them sat at the door and chatted for a while. Deputy Captain Tang turned his head and looked at Wang Ziru who was standing beside him. "Sister-in-law, please go and have your meal. We men just like this. No matter when we meet, we like to chat for a while."

"It's okay, it's okay. You are a guest. It's not appropriate to just drink tea when you come to our Wang family."

"What's wrong with that?"

Captain Tang was also a tall and sturdy man, wearing the uniform of the armed forces. Sitting there he looked like a door god.

He looked at Zhai Ximo who was sitting opposite him, and then looked at Wang Ziru, "My brother has been in the army for so many years and just came back. Sister-in-law, you must treat him well."

"You got it the other way around! It's hard for me to take care of the kids at home. He should treat me well when he comes back."

"Hahahaha..., sister-in-law is still funny!"

Many children in the village came to the Wang family's house, but when they saw Captain Tang sitting at the door, they only dared to stand at a distance at the gate and lean their heads towards the stone house.

Many neighbors also heard that the Wang family had a distinguished guest from the county’s armed forces department, and they all talked about it.

The atmosphere inside the stone house is quite harmonious.

Seeing his wife suddenly so enthusiastic, Zhai Ximo asked calmly, "Do you have something to say to Captain Tang?"

"Oh? What's the matter, sister-in-law?" Captain Tang was also stunned. He blew the tea leaves and paused with his hand holding the enamel cup.

"Yes! Ximo guessed it." Wang Ziru's face was a little unnatural, and she shook her head pretending to be embarrassed. "Captain Tang, you have also seen that our Zhai Ximo can be said to have no background and no resources. If he changes his job and returns to his hometown in the future, I am afraid I will have to trouble Captain Tang to take care of him."

"Sister-in-law, I don't deserve your words! Forget about taking care of him. When he comes back, he will be my leader and command my work." Captain Tang did not treat Zhai Ximo as an outsider. He laughed heartily and said, "We not only have to take care of him, but you, as the head of the family, are also the focus of our care."

Hearing this, everyone in the main room was stunned.

Does it mean that when soldiers retire from the army, their superiors will arrange jobs for their wives?

If that were the case, the daughter of Old Wang would become rich as well.

Zhu Yan's parents quickly turned their heads away, pricked their ears, and stopped eating.

Wang Ziru's heart was beating fast, and her mind was obviously active. She smiled and said, "Well, Secretary Tang of the commune also said this, but I am not well educated, so I can't do the work in your unit."

"However," she turned to look at her younger brother Wang Zonghao, pointed at him, and said solemnly, "Captain Tang, this is my younger brother Wang Zonghao, he is not married yet."

She deliberately emphasized the fact that she was not married.

Captain Tang looked at the young man sitting at the table eating and nodded, "Well, he is getting married this year, right?"

"Yes! But don't underestimate him because he is from the countryside. He is smart and quick-witted. Captain Tang, you have a lot of connections in the county. If there is a job suitable for my brother, can you introduce him to someone?"

"Introduce a job to your brother?"

"Hehehe..., that's what I mean."

The bowl in Wang Zonghao's hand almost fell to the ground.

He never thought that his sister could help him so much.

He quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and crawled up from the bench.

Nowadays, if there is an opportunity to work in the city, who would be willing to make a living by fishing and take the risk of being devoured by wind wolves?

Captain Tang was stunned for a moment, realizing that the military wife was asking him a serious favor.

He pondered it carefully, and after a few seconds, he showed joy, "You asked at the right time! I'm not sure if there is a job suitable for your brother in other units, but our armed forces cafeteria is looking for a new cook recently. I wonder if he can do the job of cook?"

"Cooking is so easy! We rural kids don't know much else, but we know how to grow crops and cook!"

"You have a woman who cooks in your family. Does your brother usually cook and stir the wok?"

"Yes! Definitely! Even if there are dishes he doesn't know how to cook, I will personally go to your armed forces cafeteria and teach him how to cook for a few days. I guarantee that all of you will be satisfied with the food."

The Wang family was stunned.

My lady, did you help Zonghao find a job in the county? !

Li Hui, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family, was extremely jealous. After all, her brother-in-law was young and had plenty of opportunities to find a job in the city.

Her husband Wang Zongming is not like that. Age is one reason, but the key is that he is too honest and loyal, not as smart as the two little ones in the family.

Captain Tang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law! Since you have formally asked me to do this today, I will take it seriously. I will go back and tell the leader that I need him to go to the city to cook a few dishes for the leader to taste. Then you can go with him."

"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll take care of it." Wang Ziru patted her chest and promised.

However, Team Tang glanced at Zhu Yan meaningfully, "That's his situation. He just got married, so it's not easy to leave his partner alone in his hometown."

"You don't need to worry about that. If my brother gets a foothold in the city in the future, we can use our connections to find a job for my brother's wife. That way, they can live in the county. It won't be a problem for them to settle down in the county when they have the conditions."

"That's right, that's right." Captain Tang nodded with a smile.

I was thinking in my heart that the armed forces canteen was indeed looking for a chef, as long as Wang Zonghao could cook dishes that satisfied the leaders.

This is really a plausible story.

Zhu Yan was completely stunned.

My sister-in-law is helping her find a partner and also helping her find a job in the city?

For a moment, I was shocked.

Zhu Yan's parents had never imagined that their son-in-law had transformed himself into a respectable man and could even work in the county town. They never dared to think of this even in their dreams.

I couldn't help but admire the ability of the Wang family's daughter.

No wonder a country girl was chosen by her husband's family in the county and was given a dowry of one thousand yuan.

Zhang Kang on the side was also dumbfounded. At first he didn't understand what was going on.

In just a blink of an eye, the brat from the Wang family actually relied on his brother-in-law's influence to find a job as a cook in the canteen of the county's armed forces. This is what it means to rise to the top.

Although he was just a cook in the canteen of the Armed Forces, his salary was not low, at least 30 yuan.

Being a farmer is so much better than fishing in a fishing village.

And the experience is also very different. You can meet big shots of different levels in the armed forces...

Just then, Chen Pingping came to Wang's house.

"Sister Ziru! Are you back today?" Chen Pingping was quite polite. Even though she was ruthlessly beaten up by Wang Ziru that day, she still greeted her with a smile when she saw Wang Ziru.

Wang Ziru smiled and nodded, deliberately saying: "You may not know yet, Zong Hao's parents-in-law came to our house today to discuss the wedding date."

"By the way, you know Zhu Yan, right? She's Zong Hao's girlfriend."

"I recognize you, I recognize you. We've met many times. We all live in Longwang Village, so how could I not have met you before?" Chen Pingping waved at Zhu Yan openly.

Seeing that her sister-in-law was very good at dealing with people, Zhu Yan hurried over to greet Chen Pingping and asked her if she had had lunch.

Zhang Kang and Wang Zonghao looked at each other and still disliked each other.

However, the two girls hit it off right away and chatted as if no one was around.

"Okay, then, go ahead and eat. I won't disturb you and your family from eating."

Captain Tang saw that the two girls hit it off immediately and didn't want to delay their meal any longer, so he stood up and was about to leave.

"Sister-in-law, if there is good news in the next few days, I will come down to inform you."

"Oh, thank you so much, Captain Tang! If my brother can get a job, I will definitely treat Captain Tang to a meal and let Zhai Ximo have a few drinks with you."

Wang Ziru saw that Deputy Captain Tang was a down-to-earth person. Seeing that her brother's work might really be going well, she couldn't help but feel excited.

He immediately announced that the man would be allowed to treat Deputy Captain Tang to a meal and a few drinks.

When she sent Captain Tang out, she thought about the fact that the issue of the betrothal gift had not been resolved, and she couldn't help feeling a little heavy-hearted. "But right now, my brother is getting married and still needs a betrothal gift..."

"Ah? Bride price?" Deputy Captain Tang's eyes suddenly became sharper, and he asked in a cold voice, "Are they here to discuss the bride price?"

He looked at the in-laws sitting at the dinner table.

This glance sent chills down Zhu Yan's parents' spines.

This frightened Wang Zonghao so much that he quickly stood up and waved his hands, "This has nothing to do with my sister and the others!"
