Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Xiao Weiguo writes in a standing position with his feet apart, his right foot slightly forward to keep his upper body balanced, his right wrist and elbow suspended, and the pen held vertically as he writes.

His writing is so vivid, flowing like clouds and running water, and his strokes are as quick as smoke!

Commander Zhou shook his head with admiration. He had seen Xiao Weiguo's skills in the courtyard before, and now he could write beautifully.

Not only is he smart and methodical, but he is also good at both literature and martial arts, handsome and elegant. If he had not already married, he would really want to marry his old subordinate's daughter to him, creating a beautiful story.

"Jingru, I didn't expect you to be so efficient. You look like a hard-working girl. Now Weiguo will be blessed!"

Zhao Suqin helped pick vegetables while praising, while Qin Jingru smiled innocently, wanting only to make the meal well and not embarrass Xiao Weiguo.

In a short while, four dishes and a soup were ready.

"Lao Zhou, Weiguo, you two should come out for dinner!"

In the outer room, Zhao Suqin and Qin Jingru had already put the food on the table, while in the inner room, Commander Zhou was still chasing Xiao Weiguo to ask for advice on calligraphy.

As a military district commander, he was a good fighter but failed in writing, so he started writing quickly.

"Uncle Zhou, look at this word 'war'. The stroke on the left is slanted upwards, while the hook on the right goes from thick to thin..."

At Xiao Weiguo's instruction, Commander Zhou started writing quickly, just like his impatient personality, and finished it quickly.

But it looks much better than before.

"Weiguo, it seems that I still don't understand you. You are a young man who has wisdom and ability. Work hard. I believe you can achieve something in the steel mill!"

It is not easy to get praise from Commander Zhou. Xiao Weiguo can hear Commander Zhou's expectations of him.

But he is not too greedy for officialdom, and can only take one step at a time. After all, Hong Kong is so beautiful that he can't help but yearn for it in his heart.

Zhao Suqin called out a few times but no one answered, so she had to knock on the door.

After receiving the signal, Xiao Weiguo went to open the door.

"Hey, what are you two grown men dithering about? Jingru has prepared a table full of food for you."

Zhao Suqin frowned and pulled Xiao Weiguo out directly without paying attention to Commander Zhou who was standing behind her.

At the dinner table, everyone had a great conversation. When I first met Commander Zhou, I felt that he was just a cold-faced general, giving people a mysterious majesty.

After spending a few hours together today, I felt the kindness and security of a patriarch.

"Weiguo, no matter what happens in the factory in the future, you can go to Minister Zhang or come to me directly. Think about your father back then..."

Speaking of old friends, even the tough guy Commander Zhou showed sadness on his face. Seeing this, Zhao Suqin immediately changed the subject.

"Old Zhou, today is a big day for Weiguo. I believe Old Xiao and his wife will be very happy too. By the way, Jingru, you must bring more children to the Xiao family as soon as possible!"

Qin Jingru's already shy face turned red all the way to her ears. She didn't say anything, but kept smiling and nodding.

"Haha, great! Have you decided on a date? You are still young and don't understand the wedding process. Let your aunt arrange it for you later."

"That's great. As long as you two trust me, I will definitely help you make the wedding a lively one."

Xiao Weiguo smiled and expressed his gratitude, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, don't bother you with this little thing. We just need to set up a few tables of banquets in the courtyard, and then go to Jingru's house to have some fun and the ceremony will be complete."

Qin Jingru also nodded in agreement. Commander Zhou and Zhao Suqin looked at each other with the kindness of an old father.

"Okay, okay, let your aunt know if you need anything. Although your parents are gone, we are still here for you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou..."

These words gave Xiao Weiguo strong support behind him, and Qin Jingru was stunned.

Does this mean that no matter what problems Weiguo encounters in the future, he will help as long as he lets him know?

Although the two of them had not been together for a long time, she knew Xiao Weiguo's personality. He would not bother Uncle Zhou unless he encountered a beheading incident.

The drinking party lasted until the afternoon. Commander Zhou was so happy that Zhao Suqin did not stop him from drinking. The two of them drank happily and had a long chat.

Xiao Weiguo did not leave until Commander Zhou was a little drunk.

The two of them pushed the cart through the streets and alleys of the old city. Looking at the antique furnishings in front of them, Xiao Weiguo was ready to make a fortune.

Before entering the hospital, Qin Jingru hesitated as if she wanted to say something. Xiao Weiguo leaned over and looked at her, feeling each other's breathing and heartbeat.

Qin Jingru's little face is rosy, which makes people think a lot.

Although the two of them only got the marriage certificate and did not hold a wedding banquet, they are still a formal and legal couple. However, Xiao Weiguo did not want to let Jingru down.

"Weiguo~I don't want to live in the Jia family anymore. Ever since that old woman came back and said some nasty things, I...I want to move out."

Xiao Weiguo understood immediately, but if this silly girl lived with him, it would be bad for her reputation.

"Be good, go back and deal with it tonight. I will prepare the wedding as soon as possible and make sure you can enter the house legitimately."

Qin Jingru smiled shyly, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

As she said this, she looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she tiptoed and kissed Xiao Weiguo. There was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air.

"Hey, what are you two doing?!"

Yan Jiecheng saw two figures from a distance, and when he walked closer he found that it was Xiao Weiguo.

"Didn't you see? What do you think we are doing?"

Xiao Weiguo's words left Yan Jie speechless. They were just doing what young lovers should do, so what do you say?

"Chief Xiao, who is this?"

It was the first time that Yu Li met Qin Jingru, but women always like to compare, and in this comparison, she turned out to be the loser.

Whether in terms of dress or appearance, Qin Jingru is slightly better.

It made her, a city girl, feel a little embarrassed.

"Let me introduce you to my wife, Qin Jingru! Jingru, this is Yu Li, Xie Cheng's fiancée!"

After Xiao Weiguo's introduction, the two women looked at each other and then forced a smile.

"It means when will you two do it?"

As he was speaking, Xiao Weiguo had already taken out a pack of cigarettes. Yan Jiecheng came forward with a smile. Xiao Weiguo didn't put on airs at all and even lit it for him.

"The date has been set. We'll have the wedding banquet on the tenth day! But I don't know how my dad is doing with the arrangements. Pork is hard to buy right after the Chinese New Year! When will you hold the wedding?"

"The day after tomorrow, the sixth day!"

what?

Except for Xiao Weiguo, the other three people at the scene, including Qin Jingru, were shocked.

Xiao Weiguo didn’t tell her either!

Yan Jiecheng was so shocked that he almost choked on the smoke, "How many days earlier than me?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter who comes first or last, they both bring happiness to our compound."

As they were talking, several people walked into the yard one after another. Yu Li felt a little jealous when she saw the little black leather shoes on Qin Jingru's feet.

When I first came to the compound for a blind date with Yan Jiecheng, I met Xiao Weiguo. I fell in love with him at first sight, but unfortunately I was indecisive.

He could not resist the persuasion of his family and the matchmaker, who said that Yan Fugui was a teacher who not only earned a lot of money but could also help educate their children in the future.

At this moment, her family is helping Yan Jiecheng find a job, and will also help her get one in at the same time.

Although there are a lot of people in the family, as long as three of them go out to work and earn money, they don't have to worry about life.

What's more, she was still thinking about her own little plan in her mind. As long as she arranged her work, she could separate and live on her own. She and Jie Cheng would be two working couples, and their life would be so carefree.

So I gave up the idea of ​​​​Xiao Weiguo.

But I regretted it when I saw it today. He is so generous to his wife even though they haven't even gotten married yet. Then look at me, the Yan family only paints big pie in the sky for me, no matter how big and round I want.

None of them were fulfilled.
