Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

On May 5, Lin Zongxuan and Wang Xiaomeng went to work as usual. After get off work, Wang Xiaomeng was taken home, while Lin Zongxuan hurried home to change clothes, and then took Xu Hongcan, the Wang brothers and others to form a huge "convoy" and came to the compound where the Wang family was located.

There was a group of young people at the door forming the first line of defense. A young man, as the leader, asked in an operatic voice, "Who is coming?"

Lin Zongxuan found it funny, but he didn't indulge him and answered directly: "I am your Brother Lin."

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick up my wife."

"Who is the bride?"

"Of course it's your cute sister."

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Zongxuan threw a bunch of red envelopes into the sky, and then, led by the tall and strong Wang brothers, they squeezed into the yard.

When they arrived at the gate of Wang's house, the bride-welcoming party encountered a second wall of people. This time, they were all Wang Xiaomeng's sisters-in-law and married sisters, so it was not easy to confront them head-on.

The leader of this group of married women was a young wife in her thirties, Wang Xiaomeng's sister-in-law. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you've made Xiaomeng wait for three years. We'll ask you three questions. Answer them well and then let you in."

"The first question is, when and where did you first meet Xiaomeng?"

Lin Zongxuan thought for a moment and replied gently, "It was in the winter of 65, at the gate of my hospital. I helped her hold her bicycle that day."

There was an uproar in the crowd, and Wang Saozi said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Lin, why don't you think about it again."

"Sister-in-law, this is the answer. Why don't you go ask Xiaomeng again."

In fact, the correct answer to this question should be the day when the two of them reported to junior high school, but Lin Zongxuan believed that Wang Xiaomeng would understand what he meant.

After all, the best memories and times they spent together were all after that.

Sure enough, when Wang's wife came out of the house, she had a strange smile on her face and announced loudly: "The answer is correct!"

Then, she couldn't wait to ask the second question: "Mr. Lin, when did you start to like our Xiaomeng?"

"Yesterday, today and tomorrow." Lin Zongxuan answered without hesitation.

This sentence was like a sweet bomb, instantly hitting the hearts of every woman present, especially Wang Xiaomeng in the room, whose cheeks flushed with shyness and her eyes sparkled with tears of happiness.

After knowing each other for several years, the two had never expressed their love so directly.

The earthy love words from decades later are still very powerful today. This time, there was no need to ask Wang Xiaomeng. Wang's wife passed it directly and asked the third question: "Mr. Lin, please tell me the bride's birthday accurately."

"July 1943, 6."

This time, Lin Zongxuan accurately said Wang Xiaomeng's birthday, and then distributed a round of red envelopes, which allowed him to enter the Wang family's door.

The Queen's mother was very satisfied with this son-in-law. She just held his hand and said a few auspicious words, then was supported and sent to the side to wipe her tears. However, the Queen's father took Lin Zongxuan and taught him a lot: the general meaning is that after getting married, a man has truly grown up and must understand the responsibilities he carries. He must protect his family, serve the people better, and be responsible for his work.

"Although you are young, you have been in the cadre position for a long time. You should learn more from your uncle and strive to become an outstanding pillar of society."

Lin Zongxuan nodded firmly.

After the bride was brought home, the wedding ceremony officially began under the auspices of an old man from the Lin family, following the most popular wedding ritual in the city:

… (Singing red songs, reading quotations from the emperor, reading the marriage certificate, bowing to the portrait. I didn’t know which parts could not be written, so I omitted them.)

After the wedding ceremony was completed, everyone officially started the feast.

Although the Lin family has a ready-made chef, it is naturally impossible for Lin's father to cook for this wedding banquet. Considering that most of the leaders who came today are from the steel rolling mill, they finally decided to hire Chef Sha Zhu.

The main dishes prepared at the banquet are the traditional eight big bowls of Sijiucheng, including a big bowl of three-yellow chicken, a big bowl of yellow croaker, a big bowl of pork elbow, a big bowl of meatballs, a big bowl of rice noodle meat, a big bowl of braised pork, a big bowl of shredded meat and a big bowl of spare ribs.

There were 12 tables set up for the banquet. The neighbors in the courtyard occupied 4 tables, Lin Zongxuan and Wang Xiaomeng's colleagues occupied 4 tables, and the leaders who came occupied 3 tables.

Lin Zongxuan was the groom today, so naturally he had to be forced to drink. Fortunately, Xu Hongcan and the Wang brothers were also workers at the steel rolling mill. They accompanied him to toast the leaders, which allowed him to stay sober.

When everything was over, the two sat in the bridal chamber looking at the bright red wedding candles and wedding bed, and began to stare at each other in bewilderment.

The wedding candles were swaying as if they were dancing a happy dance, and the wedding bed seemed to be emitting a breath of happiness. The young couple seemed to be surrounded by this festive atmosphere and were at a loss.

Suddenly, Lin Zongxuan shook his head and stomped lightly on the bed leg. Then they saw a little head, two little heads, and three little heads popping out from under the bed...

The leader was Lin Keke. After getting beaten up, she obediently took her child out to stand guard.

After dealing with the people who were making trouble in the bridal chamber, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

After a while, Wang Xiaomeng said shyly, "How about we check out today's gift list?"

"You want the right to be a housekeeper so soon?"

Lin Zongxuan teased, and then said: "We drank a lot today, let's drink some more tomorrow when we are sober. Then, I will give you all the money I have saved over the years, and you can find a place to keep it."

"You don't have to give it all to me. I know that men all have their own little stash of money."

Wang Xiaomeng asked meaningfully: "Do you have several small safes like my dad, one under the bed, one in a box, and even one hidden behind the wedding photo?" (There were wedding photos in the 60s, the picture is in the comments section.)

Lin Zongxuan coughed twice and changed the subject calmly: "Of course I didn't... By the way, I saw that you didn't eat much just now, do you want me to heat it up for you?"

"Forget it, are you full?"

"I'm not full either, but I don't want to eat food."

Wang Xiaomeng asked doubtfully: "What do you want to eat?"

"eat you!"

The bridal chamber is lit with candles, and the two Yan Yu dance lightly...

The next day, Lin Zongxuan originally wanted to take a day off to take care of his wife who had limited mobility, but Wang Xiaomeng forced him to go to work.

In fact, theoretically you can take a marriage leave now. Director Li also said yesterday that he will arrange it if you want to take a leave.

However, given the current environment, most newlyweds who are pursuing their dreams dare not stop even for a moment.

In fact, the written document in the factory recommending Lin Zongxuan to take over as the deputy director of the logistics department did have an additional paragraph: Comrade Lin Zongxuan not only has outstanding abilities, but also has the GM spirit of selfless dedication. In order to serve the factory more quickly, he returned to his post on the first day after his wedding...
