Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Zhang Weiguo smiled and held Lou Xiao'e's hand, looking at her affectionately: "Xiao'e, in a week I will give you an unforgettable wedding and make you my happiest bride."

"Yes, Brother Weiguo." Lou Xiao'e hugged Zhang Weiguo's shoulders with a happy smile on her face.

The next morning, Zhang Weiguo came to Sha Zhu's house.

"Shazhu, are you home?" Zhang Weiguo stood at the door and knocked.

After a while, a familiar voice came from inside the door: "It's Weiguo, come in quickly."

Zhang Weiguo pushed open the door, walked straight into the room, and sat down opposite Sha Zhu. He said directly: "Sha Zhu, I came to you today mainly to ask you for a favor."

As soon as Sha Zhu heard this, he understood Zhang Weiguo's intention, and he asked directly: "Are you getting married next week, and you want me to be the chef?"

Zhang Weiguo nodded and smiled, and replied: "Well, I will indeed need your help when the time comes."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said confidently: "No problem, Weiguo, don't worry, I dare not say anything else, but I will definitely satisfy you in terms of cooking."

"Thank you very much. You should drink a few more glasses when the time comes."

"I'm just worried that you didn't prepare enough wine."

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhang Weiguo got up and left. When he left, he left two bottles of Moutai for Sha Zhu. After all, you can't always ask someone to do something for you for free.

Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Weiguo's back and smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Alas, Weiguo is six years younger than me and he's about to get married. When will I be able to have a wife and children and a warm bed?" After talking to himself, Sha Zhu glanced at the Jia family.

Zhang Weiguo found out that although Sha Zhu sometimes likes to play tricks (only targeting Xu Damao) and sometimes is even reckless, and has a special liking for widows like his father, other than that, Sha Zhu's character is actually quite good. At least he has not had too many conflicts with him, and he even asked him to cook for him a few times.

Zhang Weiguo thought that if the opportunity was right in the future, he might be able to help Sha Zhu find a suitable wife, such as Qin Jingru, who would be a good candidate. This would also cut off Sha Zhu's thoughts about Qin Huairu.

Meat processing factory office.

"Well, this tea is good. Bring me some later." Zhang Weiguo said while sitting opposite Meng Tian, ​​crossing his legs.

"Zhang Weiguo, you said you were going to get married, but why did you still go with a 'bandit'?" Meng Tian continued, "God is really unfair. He actually let you, a beast, find such a beautiful wife."

"Alas, poor old me is still a bachelor now."

Zhang Weiguo joked, "Meng Tian, ​​Xiao E once told me that many of her best friends are still unmarried."

"Brother, you are my real brother, please ask sister-in-law to introduce you to me, my brother's knife is almost rusty"

"Then...this tea?" Zhang Weiguo said with a long breath.

Meng Tian said quickly: "Take it away, take it all away. Tea leaves are just external things, how can they be as important as a wife."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'll ask Ezi to introduce a few to you later. Whether you can succeed depends on yourself."

Meng Tian said excitedly: "Then my brother's life affairs are left to you. Remember to ask my sister-in-law to find a good-looking one."

"Okay, got it. Remember to save some meat for me. I'm leaving first." After saying this, Zhang Weiguo was about to prepare other things.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely leave enough for you."

The third uncle's house.

"Weiguo, don't worry about me keeping the accounts. I guarantee there won't be any mistakes." The third uncle patted his chest and guaranteed. He couldn't say anything else, but he had never made a mistake in keeping accounts.

"Well, I'll have to trouble the first uncle then." After saying this, Zhang Weiguo left two bottles of Xifeng wine for the third uncle and left.

The third uncle took the Xifeng wine left by Zhang Weiguo and said, "My dear, please look at the wine. It's Xifeng, 2.5 yuan a bottle. Zhang Weiguo gave two bottles at once, which is very generous. In the future, don't get involved in the gossip between Zhang Weiguo and the Intermediate Court. What's most important is to get benefits."

"Well, I'll listen to the boss."

Next Monday, the weather will be clear and sunny.

The god on duty is Siming; the building star is Kairi; the conflicting evil spirits are Monkey and North; it is suitable for getting married.

"Weiguo, you have made a big splash today. You even got a car." The third uncle said to Zhang Weiguo with a smile.

"Uncle, this is all thanks to Director Yang's help."

"Well, you are so prestigious that your factory director is willing to lend you his private car for your wedding." The third uncle sighed.

"Uncle, please sit down first. I have to go pick up the bride."

After Zhang Weiguo finished talking to the third uncle, he said to Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Chaoyang and others: "Brothers, follow me to pick up the bride."

Zhang Weiguo sat in a car, followed by eight bicycles, and the group set off in a mighty procession. This scene attracted the attention of passers-by and made a lot of comments, as if the son of a big leader was getting married.

Inside the Lou family's house, Lou's father said to Zhang Weiguo solemnly: "Weiguo, my daughter is now in your care. You must treat her well and not let her suffer any injustice."

Zhang Weiguo solemnly promised: "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiao'e in the future and will not let her suffer any grievances."

"Okay, let's take Xiao'e away, otherwise we will miss the time." Father Lou nodded, with tears of reluctance in his eyes.

At Lou's mother's place, Lou's mother warned Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, from today on you are the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. You must remember that after you get married, you should not be as willful as before. When you marry into your husband's family, you must take on the responsibility of supporting your husband and raising children, and helping your husband build a family and career."

Lou Xiao'e cried and said to her mother: "Yes, Mom, I know. But I can't bear to leave you and Dad."

Lou's mother gently wiped the tears from her daughter's face and comforted her softly, "Silly girl, it's not like you won't see your parents again. If you miss your parents that day, just ask Weiguo to bring you back to see them."

"Ah."

Zhang Weiguo took Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked into the car.

Today, Lou Xiao'e wore a red cheongsam with her long hair tied up. Her every frown and smile was like a gorgeous peony blooming in the long river of time, so beautiful that it could not be imitated.

"Here comes the bride, here comes the bride"

Amid the shouts of children and the crackling of firecrackers, Zhang Weiguo and Lou Xiao'e got out of the car.

"Congratulations, Weiguo."

"What a beautiful bride!"

"This is truly a match made in heaven."

"Look at how other people hold their weddings, and then think about my own wedding."

"Wow, Zhang Weiguo is really generous. This dish is so well prepared."

"That's my cousin. Isn't he handsome?"

The wedding ceremony began amidst everyone's congratulations and heated discussions.

The master of ceremonies, Zhong Baoguo, stood in front of the stage and shouted in a loud voice: "Bow to heaven and earth!"

Originally, Zhang Weiguo had planned to invite his teacher to be the witness, but his teacher was too busy, so he had to settle for the second best and invite Zhong Baoguo.

Then, Zhong Baoguo continued to shout: "Bow to your parents twice!"

As his voice fell, Zhang Weiguo and Lou Xiao'e respectfully bowed deeply to their parents in front of them.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" Zhong Baoguo shouted again.

The two smiled at each other and saluted each other.

"Send her to the bridal chamber!" Zhong Baoguo shouted at last.

In the north, this sentence does not mean that you have to enter the bridal chamber immediately, but wait until night to perform the husband-and-wife ceremony.

As the ceremony ended, everyone began to eat. Zhang Weiguo first took Lou Xiao'e to toast to both parents, expressing filial piety and respect for the elders.

Afterwards, he came to the table where Master's wife was sitting, raised his glass and said, "Master's wife, Xiao'e and I would like to offer this glass of wine to you and Master. Thank you for your care over the years."

The master's wife smiled and raised her glass in response: "I also wish you a happy marriage and a long life together on behalf of your master."

Then, Zhang Weiguo toasted to the leaders of the steel mill, and both sides exchanged some words of congratulations and blessings. Finally, he came to the people in the courtyard to toast, and said some words of thanks for everyone's coming and blessings.

After working all afternoon, they finally sent everyone away. The neighbors in the yard were still helping to clean up the mess, while Zhang Weiguo and Lou Xiao'e stood aside, watching everything with a smile.

At this time, the third uncle walked over and said, "Weiguo, count it. This is today's gift money, a total of 1,152 yuan and 32 cents."

The third uncle was reluctant to give the money to Zhang Weiguo. Today, he finally understood how powerful Zhang Weiguo's connections were. The minimum amount of gifts from the factory leaders and some people he didn't know was 50 yuan, and his master's wife gave him 200 yuan.

"Thank you, Uncle San. You can take some of these leftovers back later. Xiao'e and I can't finish them all. It would be bad if they go bad."

"That's great." The third uncle was so happy that he went home to get a plate to put the leftovers.

Normally there wouldn't be leftovers at weddings in this era, but Zhang Weiguo had prepared a lot, and most of the people who came today were wealthy, so there were quite a few leftovers.

When everything was done, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Zhang Weiguo said to Lou Xiao'e, "Ezi, everyone has left. We should go to the bridal chamber."

"Um..." Lou Xiao'e replied shyly.
