Chapter 427 High Efficiency, Zhang Baiyan Engagement
"Yes!" The second brother appeared out of nowhere, took out his cell phone and made a call.
Zhang Wanwan was stunned. She couldn't keep up with Leng Ziyue's pace. He was just talking nonsense!
That afternoon, Zhang Wanwan came back from driving practice and saw a construction team working less than a hundred meters from Zhang's house. She walked closer with fear and took a look. She happened to run into the second brother who was coming over. Her face turned black, and she stopped him and asked, "Is your eldest brother really going to build a house here?"
The second one nodded, "It's already started."
Zhang Wanwan held her forehead helplessly, "Do you have the land certificate? How dare you do this to someone else's property?"
Halfway through his conversation, the second brother placed a set of documents in front of Zhang Wanwan and said seriously, "We have obtained all the documents and are doing the construction legally."
Zhang Wanwan was speechless and secretly sighed that it was good to have power and influence. The efficiency of doing things was almost as fast as riding a rocket.
Since they were doing the construction legally, she didn't say much. She looked back and was about to leave when the second brother stopped her and said, "Ms. Zhang, my eldest brother has to leave for a few days. He said that these materials are temporarily in your care. Also, he reminds you that even if he is not here, you must practice driving well. You are prohibited from driving without a license before you get it."
Zhang Wanwan's face turned a few shades darker.
When Zhang's parents came home that night, they were shocked to see the dog-eaten land next door. They asked Zhang Wanwan, "What's going on with that piece of land over there? It was fine when I left in the morning. How come it became like this in just one day?"
"Is there anyone who bought land and built a house like us?" Father Zhang looked thoughtful.
Zhang Wanwan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Dad, you guessed it right. That piece of land was bought by someone, and you know the buyer."
"Who?" Zhang's father asked subconsciously.
"Leng Ziyue."
Zhang's father and mother were stunned. After a long while, Zhang's mother came to her senses and asked, "Why did Xiao Leng want to build a house here for no reason?"
Zhang Wanwan shrugged, turned around and went upstairs, leaving Zhang's father and mother looking at each other.
In the following period, there was constant activity next door from nine in the morning to six in the afternoon every day. I don't know how many people Leng Zi Yue got to work. It changed almost every day. In just half a month, the whole framework was up. After another month, when Zhang Wanwan got her driver's license, the unfinished house next door had been built.
However, Zhang Wanwan didn't have much time to pay attention to the situation over there at this time, because Zhang Baiyan and Qin Wenjun were about to get married.
For their wedding, Zhang's mother even went to the city in person and ordered a batch of high-end wedding candies from the wholesale market. According to the customs of Pu City, the newlyweds have to eat wedding candies twelve days before their wedding, and all relatives and friends have to send a portion. The wedding candies sent are different depending on the closeness of the relationship. For uncles and aunts like Li Yongfu, the candies they give are the largest bags, with more than twenty kinds of biscuits, potato chips, snacks, etc., which have to be packed in the largest red plastic bag. Colleagues like them are only given a bag of candies, about sixteen pieces, but there is one thing that is the same, that is the wedding invitation.
Since Zhang Wanwan's dim sum is now famous and is high-end, most people can't afford it. In order to save face, Zhang Wanwan plans to make a kind of dim sum herself and give a box to all her relatives and friends. Even the packaging is designed in advance.
The Zhang family doesn't have many close relatives and friends in Qingpu, but they have many clan members. Plus some distant relatives from Zhang's mother's side, colleagues and friends in the city, and relatives and friends of Zhang Baiyan and Qin Wenjun. All in all, they have to prepare at least 300 servings of dim sum.
In order to prepare these 300 snacks, Zhang Wanwan and Qin Wenjun started working three days before the wedding candy, almost working all night long. Qin's father and mother went back to their hometown to make some preparations, but Qin Wenjun did not go with them.
With the help of Zhang's mother, the three of them finally prepared all the snacks the day before the wedding candy, and Qin Wenjun rushed back to An County overnight.
On the day of the engagement, the Zhang family's decorations were extremely festive, and Zhang's mother even hung red lanterns at the door. Zhang Baiyan got up early, and according to the customs of An County, accompanied by Li Yongfu, Li Yongshou, and Zhao Guoqing, he went to An County to deliver wedding candies and pick up Qin Wenjun.
The custom in An County is that the woman goes to the man's house for a meal before returning to her parents' home. However, since An County is quite far from Qingpu, it is obviously not realistic to go back and forth like this. Qin's father and mother still have to work and cannot afford to go that far. Finally, everyone decided that when the Zhang family came to pick them up, they should also take Qin's father and mother back to Xiqiao Village. At most, they could just send Qin Wenjun to the end of the village to stay for one night.
The Qin family in An County was also in high spirits that day. It was not as festive as the Zhang family, but they cleaned up the old house inside and out, put up new couplets, and worshipped and set off firecrackers, and the atmosphere became lively.
The villagers all knew that Qin Wenjun would have wedding candy today, so people came early in the morning to help deliver wedding cakes to every household. In An County, people eat cakes but not candy during engagements, so the rules are somewhat different from those in Qingpu.
Qin's father and mother specially changed into new clothes. They were in high spirits and smiled at everyone they looked at.
Qin Wenjun's great aunt Ke Yinghong also came to help. As soon as she entered the door, she asked Qin's mother in a loud voice, "I said that Wenjun had a boyfriend, why didn't you tell us earlier? As soon as you came back, you informed us that our child was going to get engaged. I didn't even prepare properly. By the way, how is Wenjun's boyfriend? You haven't been back, and we haven't met him. Not long ago, the grandson of the ninth grandfather came back and asked about Wenjun. Don't tell me, the boy has grown into a handsome boy now. I heard that he made money outside and wears a suit and leather shoes. It's different at first glance. I was thinking of telling you, but I didn't expect you to be so quick!"
Mother Qin's face changed slightly, she lowered her eyes and said seriously: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Maybe she wants to find Wenjun for something. After all, she was a classmate before. But we haven't seen each other for so many years. Who knows what the situation is? Since she is back, forget it. Now that you know, when you send wedding cakes to Ninth Grandpa's house later, send him a portion as well and invite him to come for the banquet."
"Don't you think it's a pity?" Ke Yinghong bumped Qin's mother's shoulder, said something sarcastic, and looked like she felt sorry for Qin's mother.
Mother Qin immediately got angry, staring at Ke Yinghong fiercely, and said in a bad tone: "Sister-in-law, if you don't plan to help, go back. I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you here. By the way, after giving the wedding candy, I want to tell uncle that all our fields will be sold. We could give them to you to farm before, but now it's not possible."
"What?" Ke Yinghong's eyes widened as she questioned Qin's mother, "You said before that they were for us to grow. How can you sell them? I don't agree!"
