Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

Guo Ningning suddenly said: "Dad, Mom, I forgot to mention just now. The elder brother said that he will be very busy after the vacation. He wants to meet with you in the next two days and get engaged. Just now Hon Hai called and said that his second brother's My girlfriend's family is going there in the afternoon."

His father, Guo Zhigao, calmed down and asked his daughter instead: "Do you think Hon Hai is worth entrusting you for life?"

Guo Ningning said with a smile: "Of course it's worth it, I won't marry him!"

Mom and Dad looked at each other and smiled, and Dad said: "Since you agree, of course Mom and Dad will not object. This is a good marriage. The younger brother educated by Secretary Wang will definitely not be bad. I have met Hon Hai twice. He is a good kid." , the only flaw is that she is 5 years older than you."

Her mother, Gu Juan, was unhappy, and said, "What's wrong with being five years older? You're such an old-fashioned old man! I think it's better to be older, because you know how to love others."

"Yes, yes, Hon Hai treats me very well! He has never been mean to me, unlike my father who always taught me."

Guo Zhigao smiled and said, "Since you all agree, then it's settled. Brother Hong Hai's girlfriend and his family are going to go, and Wang Hongtao is concerned about the major affairs of the province, so he can't waste his precious time. Since he can take the initiative We don't put on airs anymore when we come to the door. Ningning, just make a phone call and tell us that our family is also coming to visit, so don't be weak!"

"Come on, I'll call Hon Hai right now. Dad, you're delivering the goods to your door!"

The daughter went to make a phone call, and the mother asked the father: "Is it really going to be engaged today? Is it too informal? There is not even a witness? How many relatives must be notified of the engagement?"

"My wife, it depends on who you are. I heard that Secretary Wang is about to become the governor. With Secretary Wang's style, he must keep a low profile. We will become a family in the future. We can't make trouble for Secretary Wang. This awareness must be , Don’t worry about a little bit of politeness, the most important thing is for the child to live well.”

"Okay, listen to you. I'm still a little confused. Why did Ningning find Secretary Wang's younger brother? Old Guo, didn't you always want to be the principal? Isn't this just a matter of what Secretary Wang said?"

"Fucking mother, don't mention this again, I don't want my daughter to be looked down upon!"

"It's not as serious as you think. A family doesn't talk about two families. Secretary Wang promotes [-] people every year instead of [-]. Does he still care about you?"

Guo Zhigao said earnestly: "The nature is different. It doesn't matter if I become the principal or not? The happiness of my daughter is more important than anything else."

Wang Hongtao's family is still playing in the City Wall Relics Park. This project is a project that has been personally reviewed by the annual production. Now the greening has been completed, and auxiliary facilities such as sports equipment, street lights, small landscapes, benches, and garbage bins have also been completed. It is coming to an end, and all the construction fences have been dismantled. On the first day of the new year, there are many tourists in the park.

There are hundreds of thousands of residents living in the surrounding area, and there are few places for activities and leisure. Most people who like sports are concentrated in this park. In the morning, noon and evening, the park is full of people coming and going, and the flow of people is very large. In the morning, there are more people doing morning exercises. Some practice boxing and martial arts, some dance Xinjiang dance, sailor dance, ballroom dance, square dance, national dance, some dance drums and umbrellas and twist Yangko, some play dragon dance and diabolo, some throw whips and beating tops, and some write and hold personal calligraphy and painting exhibitions.In the afternoon, there are people singing and singing Qin opera, walking and chatting in the sun, in the evening, there are children learning sand painting and sculpture, and there are stalls selling various small commodities, etc.

A small peach blossom in the park has already bloomed, and many pedestrians stop to take pictures. Spring is here, and the Mingdemen Tang City Wall Ruins Park has returned to its former bustling and lively scene after upgrading.

Seeing that Chang'an is getting better and better in his own hands, a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously.

Hong Wei and Hon Hai walked to the eldest brother, Hong Wei said: "Brother, both Xiao Jing and Ning Ning's family will come to the house and agree to discuss the matter of engagement."

Wang Hongtao smiled and said: "That's great, you two are finally in trouble! Someone will come to the door in person, we can't be rude, go home and prepare well, I will cook for myself today."

"Brother, do you want to buy something? We don't understand anything."

"No, we have everything at home. You two should behave well today."

Dad asked: "Hong Tao, if we get engaged today, we're going to talk about the dowry, right? No witnesses are allowed? It's too late to tell your second uncle!"

Wang Hongtao said: "Dad, let's keep it simple. Since they can come to the door in person, they must be well-educated and reasonable people. Let's chat with the family. If they have any requirements, we can satisfy them all. You don't have to worry about it. As for the witnesses Well, you really have to respect others, how about this, I will find two people to be the matchmakers of the two families, and the matchmakers say that there must be a matchmaker."

Dad can also understand. After all, his son is about to become the governor of the province. He has to keep a low profile. The world is big, and his son has the best future!

Hurriedly rushing home, Wang Hongtao went straight into the kitchen, while the others started cleaning.

Before four o'clock, Bai Jing's family came.

After entering the door, he was warmly received by Wang Hongtao's family.

Seeing that Gao Gao, the secretary of the listing committee, was wearing an apron on weekdays, Bai Heng felt very unreal, but he was very relieved, seeing the whole leopard from a glimpse, and knowing the late autumn from a leaf.Such a big leader can be so approachable and able to cook, there is no doubt about the family tradition.

Bai Jing's mother, Huang Xuehui, wanted to help in the kitchen, but Wang Hongtao "drived" her out with a smile, and said with a smile that she would cook for the distinguished guests herself.

The Bai Jing family was a little overwhelmed, so Liu Mengyao hurriedly sat down and chatted with them.

After a while, Guo Ningning's family also knocked on the door. Seeing Wang Hongtao's appearance, they also showed astonishment, and then received the same treatment.

It just so happened that the woman's two families met, so they had something to talk about.

Looking at the harmony of Wang Hongtao's family, the elder sister-in-law received guests in a dignified manner, as can be imagined, the governor's wife.

The two families are relieved, and their daughter will definitely not be offended when she marries.

After five o'clock, Wang Hongtao prepared a large table of dishes, which could be said to be complete in color, fragrance and taste.

The dining room is a round table that can accommodate more than ten people.

After inviting everyone to sit down, Wang Hongtao opened a bottle of unpackaged wine, gave everyone a glass, and then said: "Today is our family banquet, thank you Xiaojing and Ningning for their kindness and integrity, and it is also for my personal understanding and support .Xiaojing and Ningning are very good children. My parents and I like them very much. They love each other, and they are a perfect couple if they can walk together. Once we enter a family, we will not talk about each other. If you can come today, I want to witness their love, and if my uncle and aunt agree, I will give them an engagement."

Bai Heng smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, you are being polite. I have no objection to the engagement. It mainly depends on the wishes of the children."

Wang Hongtao hurriedly said: "Uncle Bai is too polite, I am a junior, and my job is called by an outsider, you can call me Hongtao!"

Bai Baiheng wanted to scream, but he couldn't!This is the immediate boss's immediate boss's immediate boss, I don't know how many levels are missing, the official standard kills people!

Guo Ningning's father, Guo Zhigao, said: "Secretary Wang, Ningning and Hon Hai are in love with each other. As parents, we have no reason to stop it. As for engagement, the new era and the new trend, let's do it as simple as possible. Children's happiness is better than those red tapes." more important."

Wang Hongtao laughed and said, "Uncle Bai, Uncle Guo, there is really no need to call me Hongtao at home. The ancients said that the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are, after all, important events in a child's life, and there must be a witness. I invited two people, and I will be there later, let them be matchmakers."

The parents of the two families are very happy. It is a good thing that the leader of such a big family thinks so thoughtfully, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

Several families began to eat lively, drinking and chatting happily, Hong Wei and Hong Hai graciously refilled everyone's wine, like a son-in-law with poor feet.

After a meeting, the doorbell rang, and Wang Hongtao went to open the door in person. Unsurprisingly, it was Zhao Shibao, secretary of the Tangdu District Committee, and Qian Zhimin, secretary of the Yantai District Committee.

After entering the door, Wang Hongtao said with a smile: "Please both of you, come and be matchmakers for my two younger brothers."

Zhao Shibao was a little mean, and hurriedly said: "Secretary, there is nothing prepared for such a big happy event."

Qian Zhimin said: "This is our honor. As the old saying goes, a person must be a matchmaker once in his life. My quota has been increased during the summer vacation."

At the dining table during the day, Heng saw the secretary of the district party committee enter the door, and immediately realized that this could not be a matchmaker?Sure enough, it was extraordinary, and the secretary of the district party committee came over in a phone call.

Guo Zhigao occasionally reads the news, how could the secretary of the district committee in his own district not know him?The heart is also tossed.

But when they saw the two district committee secretaries came to the table, they were more cautious than themselves, and they were not very good at using chopsticks. The two in-laws smiled inwardly. Below, the treatment is very different.

After dinner, the engagement ceremony officially began. Wang Hongtao first stated: "Uncles and aunts, today is just an engagement. If they have any ideas, such as having a grand ceremony or something romantic, I fully support it. Today, our parents Settle this matter."

Bai Heng smiled and said: "Hong Tao, listen to you, he thinks it's their own business if he wants to make a fuss."

Guo Zhigao said: "Lao Bai and I agree, let's take a formality and keep things simple."

Wang Hongtao said to Zhao Shibao and Qian Zhimin: "You two great matchmakers, it's your turn to play."

This meeting can only face the difficulties. Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run?As leaders, the two of them have participated in the engagement ceremonies of relatives and friends at home for countless times, so they are very familiar with it.

Zhao Shibao took it seriously and said: "The engagement customs in Qin Province mainly include five processes: meeting, looking at the house, having an engagement banquet, pulling clothes, and choosing auspiciousness. Among them, eating the engagement banquet is the most important part. Daughter-in-law, the man gives a certain amount of dowry to the woman's family, and the etiquette of giving the dowry is the "six ceremonies" of "Na Zheng". After the engagement, the man and the woman are bound by themselves, and the marriage cannot be abandoned lightly."
