Chapter 93 High Standards, Good Wife
The man who is usually mature, steady and even a little cold, is like a conspicuous bag today.
Not only did he take her around the entire brigade, he also took her around the commune.
If she hadn't tried her best to stop him, he would have turned around and gone straight into the city.
By the time they returned to the courtyard, most of the guests had arrived.
Su Qiao took Qin Zhengrong to greet Aunt Peng and Peng Anguo and his son, and also went to greet Zhu Weidong and Huang Xueying.
Su Qiao just had a few words with Huang Xueying here.
There was a burst of noisy sounds coming from the gate of the courtyard.
Soon, a group of comrades with straight backs and high bearing came in.
Su Qiao looked at those people and blinked in confusion.
She didn't seem to know these people.
The group of people walked straight up to Qin Zhengrong, raised their fists and lightly hit Qin Zhengrong's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Old Qin, you are not very nice this time!
He didn’t even inform his brothers about such a big thing as getting married.
If I had run into your brother-in-law yesterday and knew about this, I wouldn't even be able to drink your wedding wine."
When Qin Zhengrong heard the man say the first two sentences, he couldn't suppress the joy on his face.
But when that person said the three words "brother-in-law", a hint of coldness flashed across Qin Zhengrong's eyes.
Only then did Su Qiao see Su Jianguo walking at the end of the group.
Su Jianguo walked up to Su Qiao with a flattering smile and introduced her, "Qiao Qiao, this is the director of our Daren County Public Security Bureau.
This is the director of the steel plant, and this is..."
After Su Jianguo's introduction, Su Qiao found that these people were all well-known figures in Daren County without exception.
No wonder Su Jianguo would circle around them like a pug, wagging his tail.
Su Jianguo finally said: "These leaders are my brother-in-law's former comrades-in-arms. Now they have retired and returned to work, and they are still serving the people conscientiously.
When I came to your place today to attend your wedding, I happened to meet Director Wang and mentioned this to him.
Director Wang called everyone to come together."
While Su Jianguo was talking to Su Qiao, Qin Zhengrong had already shaken hands and saluted his old comrades one by one.
"Old Wang, Old Dong, it's not that I don't want to invite you, I'm just planning to have another party with my comrades, and then we can have a good drink together."
Wang Youyi patted Qin Zhengrong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I don't care, anyway, you, Qin, are getting married today, and you didn't inform me, which is really unkind of you.
I will punish myself with three cups later."
Qin Zhengrong nodded, "Okay, I'll punish myself with three cups!"
Wang Youyi looked at Su Qiao calmly, "This must be my sister-in-law!"
Su Qiao smiled and greeted everyone, "Brother Wang, thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and drink my and Brother Zhengrong's wedding wine."
Wang Youyi looked at Su Qiao and couldn't help but give Qin Zhengrong a thumbs up, "Old Qin, let's talk about why the political commissar did so much to persuade you, you just didn't want to find a female comrade to start a family.
It turns out that what you like in your heart is someone like your brother's sister-in-law.
With such high standards, the political commissar's limited matchmaking skills would definitely not be able to find one.
You are really capable, kid!"
Qin Zhengrong and Su Qiao took Wang Youyi and Qin Zhengrong's comrades to sit down.
There were exactly eight of Qin Zhengrong's comrades-in-arms, filling up an entire table.
Su Jianguo wanted to sit at the same table with them, but there were no seats left.
He might have been too anxious and forgot to pretend, and blurted out in a commanding tone, "Qiao Qiao, bring me a stool, and I will add a seat to this table."
Qin Zhengrong's face suddenly darkened, and a cold air emanated from his body.
Wang Youyi and his group's expressions also changed subtly.
On the way here, Su Jianguo kept telling them how good his relationship with Su Qiao was, and how close he was to his brother-in-law Qin Zhengrong.
But if the siblings have a truly good relationship, the brother will never speak to his sister in such a commanding tone.
Moreover, judging from the attitudes of Su Qiao and Qin Zhengrong, they did not welcome this big brother either.
As soon as Su Jianguo finished speaking, he immediately realized that Su Qiao was no longer the same as before. His behavior of treating Su Qiao like a maid just now was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire of their already bad relationship.
He immediately restored his image, showing a gentle smile, and said, "Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry.
Big brother was so happy just now that he lost his mind and forgot that today is your wedding party.
I thought you were still young, and I could ask you to help with some small chores!"
Su Qiao kept smiling as she said, "Brother, I'm afraid you may not only forget that today is my wedding party.
Have you forgotten that we have never lived together since childhood? "
Su Jianguo looked embarrassed.
Under the gaze of Wang Youyi and his group, he met Su Qiao's teasing eyes and felt like sitting on pins and needles.
He did meet Wang Youyi by chance on his way here today.
He went up to greet Wang Youyi because he wanted to ask about Su Jianjun's current situation.
But Wang Youyi didn't remember him at all, so he could only move Qin Zhengrong out.
Then they talked about today being the day of Su Qiao and Qin Zhengrong's wedding banquet.
He also didn't expect that Wang Youyi would directly invite so many people to the wedding.
But for him, this is an opportunity to build good relationships with these people, which will be helpful to both him and the Su family.
So on the way here, he used Su Qiao and Qin Zhengrong as a link to get close to these people.
Now that Su Qiao said this in public, it undoubtedly exposed the deep brother-sister love he had described to Wang Youyi and the others all along.
Su Jianguo was embarrassed for only a moment, then he said with a self-blaming look: "Qiao Qiao, big brother has not forgotten, and dare not forget.
What happened in the past is your family’s fault for letting you down.
No matter what happens to your parents in the future, I promise you that I will use my whole life to make up for what I owe you."
Su Qiao watched him finish his performance, blinking her beautiful fox eyes, and said generously: "Brother, you don't have to blame yourself, what our parents did has nothing to do with you.
Hey, brother, I remember you said yesterday that you would prepare a dowry for me, didn't you bring it?"
Su Jianguo: ...
Disgust flashed across his eyes.
She is indeed a wild girl raised in the mountains. Even if she flies onto a tree, she can never become a golden phoenix.
She married Qin Zhengrong and became a military officer's wife, but she was still thinking about those three girls in her heart. How tacky!
Su Jianguo had originally planned to give Su Qiao 200 yuan as a dowry yesterday.
But last night, he thought about it again and again, and still felt that Su Qiao, a wild country girl, was not worth a 200-yuan dowry.
However, when Yanyan got married, he was unable to come back and felt very sorry for Yanyan.
Thinking of Su Yanyan's pale and broken appearance when they met yesterday, he felt so distressed.
So, early this morning, he took the 200 yuan dowry that was originally intended for Su Qiao and went to the black market to buy a gold necklace, a pair of gold earrings, and a pair of jade bracelets, intending to give them to make Su Yanyan happy.
As for Su Qiao's dowry, he just spent five dollars to buy a silver bracelet.
But now, in front of Wang Youyi and others, it would be obviously inappropriate for him to just give Su Qiao a silver bracelet as a dowry.
He gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and took out all the things he bought for Su Yanyan.
With a gentle and doting look, he looked at Su Qiao with a smile, "Qiao Qiao, don't worry, I will never forget such a big thing as preparing your wedding dowry.
These are specially bought for you by my brother, take a look and see if you like them."
