Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Return to the courtyard.

Just as Zhang Weiguo was about to cook, the second uncle came over.

The second uncle first looked around carefully, then took out a small cloth bag from his clothes, "Weiguo, I brought you something. I'm sorry to bother you with what I told you this morning."

Zhang Weiguo opened it and found that there were four sticks inside, one more than he had said before.

I thought to myself, "This second uncle is quite a good person."

Zhang Weiguo accepted the things and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will take care of your matter in a few days."

"Thank you very much, Weiguo."

In fact, Zhang Weiguo has already told Deputy Director Li about it, but he still needs to be left alone for a few days so that the second uncle will feel that his job is not that easy.

"By the way, there will be a meeting for the whole hospital tonight. It's about Xu Damao slandering you. Remember to come after dinner." After saying that, the second uncle left.

In the evening, after Zhang Weiguo finished his meal, the front yard was already filled with people.

In addition to coming to the whole institute meeting, the most important thing for these people was to hear that Zhang Weiguo would have a program on TV tonight.

"Ahem, let me say something first." The second uncle spoke first.

The original process of the meeting should be that the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai would speak first, and then it would be the turn of the second uncle.

Maybe Liu Haizhong felt that he would be promoted in a few days, so he didn't take Yi Zhonghai seriously.

At this time, Liu Haizhong patted the table and said, "Everyone, be quiet. The purpose of the whole hospital meeting tonight is mainly to discuss Xu Damao's slander against Zhang Weiguo."

Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and continued, "Although the factory has already punished Xu Damao, as the second uncle in the hospital, I still want to criticize Xu Damao's behavior."

"Xu Damao, as a member of the courtyard, actually slandered his neighbor. What kind of behavior is this? This seriously undermines the unity of the courtyard. This is..."

Zhang Weiguo was a little speechless at this time. Although the second uncle was helping him, he said too much and really thought of himself as a leader.

Just as the second uncle was about to continue blabbering, the first uncle interrupted and said, "Second uncle, let's get straight to the point. Everyone in the courtyard is still waiting."

"Yes, Uncle, please finish your talk quickly. We are still waiting to watch TV." An aunt who had watched TV before spoke up.

"Yeah, hurry up and finish it."

"Ahem, be quiet. Since everyone is so eagerly waiting for my decision, let me tell you about our courtyard's punishment for Xu Damao."

"After discussion among the three of us, we decided to punish Xu Damao by making him clean public toilets for three months. At the same time, we will compensate Zhang Weiguo and the Jia family with 10 yuan each." The second uncle said, and then asked the first uncle, "Do you have anything to add, first uncle?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "I don't have it, let's take a look at his third uncle's."

The third uncle Yan Bugui said directly: "I agree."

The second uncle continued, "Since everyone agrees, I declare the punishment against Xu Damao effective. Xu Damao, do you have any objection?"

Everyone looked at Xu Damao with some contempt in their eyes.

Xu Damao wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, and said, "I have no objection."

Then, Xu Damao gave 20 yuan to Zhang Weiguo and Jia Jia respectively, and then returned to his seat without saying a word.

Zhang Weiguo didn't plan to beat Xu Damao up like Shazhu did, because that would be too boring. There was plenty of time, so he could have fun slowly.

After dealing with Xu Damao's matter, people in the hospital began to urge Zhang Weiguo to take out the TV quickly.

Zhang Weiguo was not a stingy person, so he immediately fixed the TV. Just when he was about to ask Banggeng to hold the antenna, he saw Banggeng take the lead and said, "Uncle Weiguo, you told me last time to let me sit in the front."

Zhang Weiguo scratched his head embarrassedly.

In the end, Zhang Weiguo chose Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's family to hold the antenna.

As for whether Liu Guangfu could lift it well, that depended on how much pain he felt from being hit by the second uncle's stick.

-

In the morning, Zhang Weiguo dressed himself up as handsome as the author, put on a Zhongshan suit, and went to the bus station to pick up his parents.

Today is a good day for engagement. Zhang Weiguo had already agreed with his parents to go to the Lou family to propose marriage today.

Bus stop entrance.

Zhang Weiguo shouted to his parents who had just gotten off the bus: "Dad, Mom, I'm here."

As soon as we got out of the car, my father asked, "Weiguo, do you think we need to prepare anything when we go to propose marriage to a wealthy family?"

"Dad, don't worry, I'm ready. Come with me to the courtyard first, pack up and then we'll go propose."

"That's good, that's good." Zhang's father didn't know what preparations were needed to propose marriage to a wealthy family. In the countryside, giving a 10-yuan betrothal gift was considered a high gift.

Zhang Weiguo first took his parents to the courtyard to rest for a while, and then took his parents to Lou's house.

It has to be said that Zhang Weiguo brought a lot of betrothal gifts this time.

The first thing was a box of tea (exclusively for high-ranking officials), a box of red wine, a box of cigars, a watch previously purchased in America, and finally a 200 yuan betrothal gift.

Maybe these things are nothing to the Lou family, but in this era when 10 yuan is considered a lot for a bride price, they are considered very thoughtful.

dong dong——

Zhang Weiguo knocked on Lou's door and it was Lou's mother who opened the door.

"It's Weiguo, come in quickly." Lou's mother first let Zhang Weiguo in, and then noticed his parents behind him.

"Weiguo, these two are your parents, right? Please invite them in quickly." Lou's mother warmly invited Zhang's father and mother in.

Zhang's father and mother were still a little overwhelmed at this time. They were farmers before, and it was the first time they saw such an exquisite small Western-style building.

Zhang Weiguo first sat down with his parents in the living room of the Lou family, and then asked, "Aunt, where is uncle?"

"Oh, Old Lou is upstairs. Drink some water first, I'll go call him." Lou's mother said, and got up and walked upstairs.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e was chatting with her father on the second floor. When she saw her mother coming upstairs, she asked, "Mom, is Weiguo here?"

"Yes, Weiguo is here, and he brought his parents with him to propose marriage." Lou's mother replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e was very happy. She held her father's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, you must not embarrass Weiguo later."

Father Lou looked at his daughter's appearance, shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up. You haven't even married yet, and you are already speaking in Zhang Weiguo's favor."

"Dad, just promise me." Lou Xiao'e continued to act coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I promise you." Father Lou touched his daughter's head lovingly.

After a while, Lou's father and Lou Xiao'e came downstairs together. When Lou Xiao'e saw Zhang Weiguo's parents, she called out sweetly, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

When Zhang's father and mother saw that their son found such a good-looking partner, they were happy for him.

Father Zhang knew it was his turn to speak, and said nervously, "Mr. Lou, Mrs. Lou, I'm here today to propose marriage to Miss Ling on behalf of my son Weiguo. Here are some gifts we prepared."

After saying this, Zhang's father took out the gift that Zhang Weiguo had prepared earlier. God knows how nervous he was when he said this.

Father Lou also saw that both Zhang's father and mother were honest and decent rural people, and he immediately said, "Brother Zhang, you don't have to be so polite. To be honest, we old couple have long regarded Weiguo as our son-in-law."

Following Lou's father's words, the two families decided on the wedding date for one and a half months later.

Afterwards, Lou's mother arranged for someone to prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain Zhang Weiguo and his parents. At the table, Lou's father and Zhang's father and mother chatted about some family matters.

After dinner, Lou's father asked Lou Xiao'e to take Zhang Weiguo's parents for a walk in the yard, while he called Zhang Weiguo into the study alone.

Father Lou spoke first: "Weiguo, I know you are a capable person. I don't ask much of you. The only thing I ask is that you take good care of Xiao'e after you get married. Xiao'e may have a bit of a temper sometimes, but I hope you can tolerate her."

Zhang Weiguo nodded solemnly and assured: "Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of Xiao'e."

"Haha, good, good." Father Lou laughed with satisfaction when he heard Zhang Weiguo's answer, "You still call me uncle?"

"dad."
