Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"Strange, what does this Deputy Minister Bai want from me?"

After the phone call, Sun Zhengguo sat there thinking for a long time but still couldn't figure out a clue.

Finally, I just don’t want to think about it. I will know when I get there the day after tomorrow…

Two days later, on the weekend, Sun Zhengguo was resting at home. Just after 8 o'clock, he called his cousin over.

"Zhengnan, I'm going to visit Deputy Minister Bai of the Ministry of Metallurgy. Are you coming?"

"Brother, I don't want to go."

Sun Zhengnan shook his head like a rattle, showing great resistance.

Because every time Sun Zhengguo went out, he would easily forget about him.

"Okay! If you don't want to go, then don't go. Just give me the car keys and I'll drive myself."

Because the time was uncertain, Sun Zhengguo did not force it.

Ning Xiaowei, who was playing with the children nearby, asked casually when she heard that Sun Zhengguo was going out.

"Jungguk, will you come back for lunch?"

"Haha!" Sun Zhengguo laughed, "Wife, Deputy Minister Bai originally invited me to lunch, so I will definitely not be back at noon."

"Huh! That's strange. If you are going to have lunch, why are you going so early?" Ning Xiaowei was puzzled.

"Maybe there's something you want to talk about!"

This is not Sun Zhengguo being perfunctory, but he really doesn't know.

"Okay! Then drink less."

Ning Xiaowei said this with concern, then stopped caring about the matter and continued playing with the child.

At this time, Sun Zhengnan also got the car keys and handed them over, "Brother, here you go."

"Okay, I'll go first."

After taking the key, Sun Zhengguo walked out of the yard, got in the car, and drove towards the address given by Deputy Minister Bai.

Ten minutes later, a sentry on guard stopped Sun Zhengguo's car at the gate of a heavily guarded compound.

"Hello, comrade. Who are you looking for?"

The sentry was very polite and asked with a standard military salute.

"Hello comrade, my name is Sun Zhengguo, looking for Deputy Minister Bai."

"I'll check it out, please wait."

The sentry saluted again, then returned to the guard post, picked up the intercom and called Deputy Minister Bai's home.

A few minutes later, a young man wearing glasses trotted over from the yard.

As a result, the voice came before the person arrived.

"I'm sorry, Director Sun, I kept you waiting for so long."

Sun Zhengguo had already seen the person who came. He was Deputy Minister Bai's secretary.

So, he replied politely, "It's okay, Secretary Hu, I'm not late, am I?"

"No, no, Director Sun, not only are you not late, but you are the first to arrive." Secretary Hu said with a smile.

Although someone is here to pick you up now, the sentry at the door will definitely still need to register.

When the sentry opened his work ID, he was immediately shocked.

He originally thought that the young man was a driver, but he didn't expect him to be a bureau-level cadre. Fortunately, he didn't collide with him just now.

After completing the registration, Sun Zhengguo got back into the car and slowly followed Secretary Hu to a two-story building.

After getting off the car, he picked up a small bag of fruit and followed Secretary Hu into the house.

As soon as the two entered the house, they met a middle-aged woman in simple clothes.

Although the woman was dressed simply, Sun Zhengguo could tell at a glance that she must be the hostess of the house.

"Xiao Hu, who is this...?" Zhang Nan asked curiously when he saw that Sun Zhengguo was a stranger.

"Oh! Aunt Bai, this is the distinguished guest invited by Vice Minister Bai, Director Sun of the Institute."

Secretary Hu was afraid that Zhang Nan would look down on Sun Zhengguo, so he specifically emphasized that this was a distinguished guest.

After hearing what Secretary Hu said, Zhang Nan seemed to have some impression. Isn't this the young man that his old man often talked about?

I didn't expect that he is so young and holds such a high position. He is also an engineer and most importantly, he looks good.

This made her think of her own niece, who hadn't been betrothed to anyone yet. Could she... ?

"Hello, Madam. This is my first visit to your house. I don't know what to buy, so I just picked up some fruits. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that Zhang Nan was still in a daze, Sun Zhengguo could only say hello first.

Then, Zhang Nan reacted and smiled embarrassedly.

"Oh! Sorry, Director Sun, I know you. Your name is Sun Zhengguo, right? You said you were coming, so come on! What else are you bringing? Come and sit down."

"Xiao Hu, please make a cup of tea for Director Sun."

Seeing that Zhang Nan was very enthusiastic, Sun Zhengguo didn't think much about it. He put the fruit on the table and sat on the sofa.

"Director Sun, Lao Bai is still in the study. Please wait a moment. He will be here soon."

After the two sat down, in order to avoid a dull atmosphere, Zhang Nan took the initiative to explain.

"It's okay, ma'am." Sun Zhengguo said casually. It was nothing to worry about anyway.

At this time, Secretary Hu came over with tea. Zhang Nan immediately arranged: "Xiao Hu! Go and urge Lao Bai, who stays in his study all day long. Tell him that Director Sun is here."

"Okay, Aunt Bai."

Secretary Hu put down the teacup and walked towards the study on the second floor.

Sun Zhengguo didn't care. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking around the decoration style of the house from time to time.

Zhang Nan saw that Sun Zhengguo was very casual and unfazed, and he liked him more and more, so he took the initiative to talk to him.

"Director Sun, I see you are quite young, about 20 years old, right? Who else is in your family?"

Sun Zhengguo, who was drinking tea, felt ashamed when he heard Zhang Nan ask this. What does this woman want to do?

However, out of politeness, he still responded, "Madam, I am 25 years old this year. Both my parents are alive at home, and I have grandparents above me..."

Because he was a guest, Sun Zhengguo did not describe all the family members one by one, but mainly talked about a few elders.

But when Zhang Nan heard that Sun Zhengguo didn't mention his wife, she felt that there was a chance and instantly became more enthusiastic.

"Director Sun, don't call me Madam. If you don't mind, just call me Aunt Bai."

Sun Zhengguo vaguely felt that something was wrong at this time, but the person's age was about the same as his mother.

What else could he say? He could only helplessly shout, "Auntie Bai."

"Hey, Zhengguo, you don't know, from the moment you walked in, I thought you were pretty good, how about Aunt Bai introduce you to someone?"

Well! After all this time, you are waiting for me here!

Sun Zhengguo was completely speechless. He already had two children, so did he still need a wife?

Seeing Sun Zhengguo standing there in a daze, Zhang Nan thought the young man was a little embarrassed, so he began to recommend his niece.

"Zhengguo, as the saying goes, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Don't be embarrassed. I'm telling you, I have a niece who is nineteen years old and looks very outstanding..."

I heard Zhang Nan still talking incessantly about the various advantages of his niece.

Sun Zhengguo knew that he must not allow the misunderstanding to escalate. Just as he was about to explain, a familiar voice came from the stairs.

"Comrade Zhang Nan! You'd better save your trouble! Zhengguo already has two sons, why does he need you to meddle in other people's affairs?"

Seeing Deputy Minister Bai approaching, Sun Zhengguo immediately stood up, walked towards him, stretched out his hands, and the two shook hands.
