Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Is it because I made a mistake?

That definitely won’t happen. You have to know that this is something the gold medal matchmaker had already arranged.

After coughing twice to clear his throat, Li Jiaguo decided to face it head-on.

He said frankly, "I have explained my situation to Mei Xueru. If you have any questions or doubts, please ask directly."

"Brother Guojia is such an honest man!" Sister-in-law Zhao Qingfang responded with a chuckle, then looked at Mei Fangxuan and asked: "Dad, I heard that Xueru's mother has passed away a long time ago. As the eldest daughter-in-law, can you temporarily take over the mother's responsibilities tonight?"

When Zhao Qingfang saw Mei Fangxuan nod in agreement, he continued:

Mei's younger sister Xueru has been learning sewing skills from her father since she was young. Although she is still young and immature, this skill is quite popular in our capital. So, what are the plans for our two families after marriage?"

After hearing this, Li Aiguo turned around and looked at Mei Xueru, realizing that she had not told her family what was in her heart.

Mei Xueru's face turned slightly red, and the force with which she fanned herself seemed a little flustered. If it wasn't for the strong wind outside, then she was fanning too softly.

Li Aiguo's hair was not messed up because of his thin and short hair.

Seeing that Mei Xueru could not be relied upon, Li Aiguo said sincerely: "I am a train driver and my work is quite busy. If Xueru wants to spend her life with me, I hope she can do sewing work in a tailor shop or work in a textile factory so that she can handle the housework more properly."

"Oh, of course. A wife must obey her husband."

When my sister-in-law heard that Mei Xueru had no intention of taking over the family tailor shop, she laughed heartily, like a crescent moon.

Zhao Qingfang shouted, "State, please sit down. Let's go cook together."

As night was approaching, the eldest and second sisters-in-law invited Mei Xueru to go into the kitchen next door and start busying themselves in preparation for dinner.

He laughed and said, "Uncle, the times are developing rapidly nowadays, how many industries that can last for a hundred years can withstand being destroyed?

Even our Chen's Tailor Shop never expected a business of this scale to disappear so suddenly.

For example, Mr. Lou Zhenhua from Beijing Steel Plant disappeared overnight.

"

Tan Liya was a frequent customer of Chen's Tailor Shop, and Chen Fangxuan knew everything about Lou Zhenhua and knew that the result was not an illusion.

"But..." Chen Fangxuan still had some hesitation. It is very difficult to change a person's inner thoughts easily.

Especially closely related to one's own foundation.

At this point, Li Aiguo stopped trying to persuade her and said directly, "Xueru is just a girl, don't you feel bad about putting this heavy burden on her?"

"Why deprive her of a happy life!"

These words made Chen Fangxuan stunned for a moment. His brows slightly frowned and the cigarette butt in his hand shook a few times.

Obviously, the future son-in-law expressed a clear opinion. He supported maintaining the operation of Chen's Tailor Shop, not to exclude Chen Xueru from participating in it, but hoped to reduce her involvement as much as possible.

Such a view may seem counterintuitive in modern times, but in that era, people often held the idea that "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog" - once a woman got married and entered her husband's family, she became part of another family and had no connection with the previous one.

So the question comes back to - why can't Chen Xueru be allowed to enjoy her due rights on the basis of maintaining the tailor shop through reasonable means?

Of course, he understood the shortcomings and current situation of his children and grandchildren, and naturally considered handing over Chen's Tailor Shop, but he could not make a decision too hastily.

"Aiguo, you are considered a member of the upper class and have a lot of experience. If we let this shop be managed by an external party, what kind of encouragement or reward will the higher-ups give us?"

There are indeed people behind the scenes who are manipulating and deliberately misinterpreting the above practices. Li Aiguo said: "It's not that the authorities are making trouble for no reason. Since this year, in the collective public ownership reform of the entire industry, the assets of those ** industrial and commercial owners have been reviewed and appraised, the amount of private equity has been determined, and fixed dividend returns have been issued regularly." "Those who participated in the public ownership reform are regarded as 'fixed interest households'." "In July, the Daily News issued a policy notice: the fixed interest households of enterprises in the transformation of public and private property across the country, regardless of the size of the enterprise, profit situation, or region and industry affiliation, are unified at a rate of 5% per year, which is equivalent to an annual income of %." "In other words, small shops or factory assets like yours will be retained as bank deposits after evaluation and registration, and then the holders will be paid interests at a certain rate on a regular basis, and percentage points per year is a fixed income ratio." Before returning to the current environment, I had mistakenly thought that the state was simply distributing private real estate and factories. After a deeper understanding, I found that all this was the result of deliberate slander - the property of private business owners was not deprived but received due compensation. I can't help but admire them. In this era of scarcity and insufficient industrialization, letting the market run freely may lead to the people's hard work being plundered and exploited by external forces, second-rate warlords and bad businessmen. Discussing these matters without considering the situation is like using tyranny. As an entrepreneur, Chen Fangxuan is more emotional and intuitive on this issue.

Rubbing her hands, she said excitedly: "As a former craftsman, I could make money in prosperous years, but when the economy was bad, I had to starve to make ends meet.

If a chaotic situation occurs, it is normal for families to be broken up and people and money to be lost.

Now, we are offering an annual interest rate of 5%, which is equivalent to getting a monetary return without having to use your brain. It is indeed a very generous benefit.”

Chen Fangxuan immediately made a conclusion: "Then I will go to the community tomorrow to apply to join this public ownership transformation. For many years, I have been just an ordinary tailor apprentice, bowing my head and offering gifts to those 'noble' guests all day long. Today is finally my turn to make a splash."

Father, you are absolutely right! Today, we the people hold the power of the country, but remember that you must regard yourself as a subject of the country rather than a role above it. "

Chen Fangxuan agreed with this. Looking at the young and ambitious motorcyclist in front of her, she seemed to see in him the kind of son she hoped to have in the future. He showed extraordinary foresight at such a young age. Her daughter Xu Ying would surely live a happy life in the future.

She was totally unaware of her role - as the future father-in-law, she should have strictly examined the identity and qualities of her future son - but now she was taught and enlightened instead, which made people laugh.

After a long chat, the mother came to call them for dinner. "When entering the restaurant, you can see seven plates on the eight-immortal table - three meat dishes and some light dishes. This practice undoubtedly expresses the importance of the bride-to-be."

After sitting side by side with Chen Fangxuan, Chen Xueru moved a bottle of wine from the table and placed it on the table.

Li Aiguo took the wine, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured wine for his eldest brother, second brother, and eldest sister-in-law. When it was his turn to toast his eldest sister-in-law, she gently blocked the cup and plate and said, "Sorry, I'm pregnant."

Li Aiguo congratulated her on the happy news and toasted her to express his congratulations. Then he picked up his chopsticks and paused for a while in front of a plate of delicious braised pork. The tempting aroma seemed to rush directly into his mouth.

"The craftsmanship is really first-class." Li Aiguo praised.

The eldest sister-in-law asked with a smile: "Do you know whose cooking this is?"

He guessed, "Could it be that you, sister-in-law, did it yourself?"

Before the answer was revealed, the eldest sister-in-law winked slyly. "I, your sister-in-law, did it myself."

When the second sister-in-law heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "That's not the case." At the same time, she made a gesture of refusal with both hands.

Li Aiguo speculated curiously: "Could it be Big Brother's?"

"That's not true. Big brother never does housework and never misses the opportunity to cook."

At this time, noticing Chen Xueru, who was nervous and even slightly crying, Li Aiguo smiled slightly and confirmed that this dinner was carefully prepared by Chen Xueru. "Sure enough, it's the food cooked by you, sister-in-law. It's very delicious!" The compliment made his eyes brighten a little, but followed by a dissatisfied woman's action, "You just bully me!" Chen Xueru twisted Li Aiguo's waist lightly. Behind this rude behavior, there is a subtle relationship and sentiment. This man really makes people feel complicated!

After pretending to be in pain for a while, the eldest sister-in-law reminded: "We are going to marry a daughter-in-law in two days, so don't hurt yourself at this time."

Li Aiguo responded slightly embarrassedly, "Oh," as if he didn't realize the deeper meaning behind the words, but he still felt the warm and thoughtful kindness.

Chen Xueru's face turned as red as an apple due to embarrassment, and she almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into to avoid everyone's gaze.

The atmosphere of the whole family dinner was warm and enthusiastic, which deepened the bond between Li Aiguo and the Chen family. Their story also began.

Chen Fangxuan is a person who lived through the end of the war.

Although he does have some feudal aura, he has a sincere and considerate soul, so he flatly rejected the Hou family's blind date request. As the eldest in the family, his eldest brother and second brother are silent and gentle characters; the eldest's wife is a lively and cheerful person, acting strongly and speaking with courage; in contrast, her sister-in-law is introverted and smart, always silently controlling all the movements of the family, and even the male-exclusive items such as pipes are cleverly managed by her so that they can only be enjoyed in secret spaces.
