Integrity Pension System

When Zhang Xiaoran returned to his small courtyard, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Xiaoran dialed the mobile number of the elder sister whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.

Because he didn't do well outside, Zhang Xiaoran felt inferior, and was even afraid of contacting his relatives, even his own older sister. Zhang Xiaoran never called her all year round, and basically his older sister called him.

Concerned about his life, and has been urging him to find a girlfriend to get married.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaoran could still talk to his sister on the phone, but as he got older, Zhang Xiaoran was even afraid of receiving calls from his sister, and often even refused to answer them on purpose.

As time went by, Zhang Xiaoran's contact with his sister became less and less, and it became like this all year round, that is, during the Chinese New Year, his sister called to greet him, and it was over without even saying a few words.

After all, apart from parents, even if they are blood relatives, if they don't move around or contact each other frequently, the relationship will become weaker and weaker, and even become strangers.

The same goes for siblings, if they don't contact each other for a long time, they will forget about it.

"Xiaoran, is something wrong?"

In the mobile phone, there was the anxious and concerned voice of her sister Zhang Shufang.

Hearing her sister's familiar yet unfamiliar voice of concern made Zhang Xiaoran slightly moved.

"Sister, I have nothing, just..."

With a bit of shyness and uneasiness, Zhang Xiaoran hesitated in the phone, not daring to speak out, which made Zhang Shufang on the phone very anxious.

"Brother, if something happens, tell sister quickly. If I run out of money, I still have tens of thousands in my passbook. You can use it first!"

Hearing Zhang Xiaoran's hesitant words, Zhang Shufang became anxious immediately, and hurriedly asked Zhang Xiaoran.

After all, in the past 20 years, my younger brother didn't take the initiative to call me, but I took the initiative to call him. I received a call from him suddenly, and he hesitated to speak. Can she not make her anxious?

Knowing about her younger brother, Zhang Shufang knew that her younger brother must be in trouble, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to call her.

"Sister, it's not what you think."

Zhang Xiaoran didn't hold back anymore, and said directly: "Sister, I went back to my hometown, talked to a girlfriend, and got engaged tomorrow."

Of course, Zhang Xiaoran is a little embarrassed to talk about Zhang Xiaodong's daughter, for fear that his sister will laugh at him for being an old cow and eating tender grass.

"Ah, are you engaged?"

Zhang Shufang on the phone was shocked by Zhang Xiaoran's words, and there was no sound for a long time.

For more than 20 years, I have called my younger brother every year, urging him to find a woman to marry and continue the Zhang family's incense, but the result has disappointed her every time.

Even later, Zhang Shufang had given up hope.

But now he received a call from his younger brother that he was going to get engaged.

The surprise came too suddenly.

Even Zhang Shufang wondered if she had heard it wrong.

"Sister...Sister, what's wrong with you, why don't you talk anymore." Zhang Xiaoran asked without hearing a response.

"No...it's nothing, my sister is happy, my younger brother is finally getting married, and my parents must be very happy..." Zhang Shufang couldn't help crying as she spoke.

It was tears of joy!

My younger brother finally doesn't have to be a bachelor anymore.

The old Zhang family is not worried about the last one!

"Sister, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm happy!"

Zhang Shufang stabilized her emotions, and continued: "Where is the girl from? How is her body? How is her personality? She has been divorced several times, has she brought her children here..."

Others don't know about her younger brother's situation, but Zhang Shufang knows it very well.

He is just a young man at the bottom of society who works in a factory, earns three to five yuan a month, has no car or house, and is in his 40s and is still alone.

If she has no appearance, no money, no money, and is too old, young girls will definitely look down on her.

Those who are willing to marry their younger brothers are presumably either divorced or physically handicapped.

But as long as she has a good character, is willing to live a good life with her younger brother, and can have children, Zhang Shufang is also very willing to accept that younger brother and sister.

After all, it is much better than his younger brother who has been a bachelor for a lifetime.

Hearing what the eldest sister said, Zhang Xiaoran's face turned dark. In the eyes of the eldest sister, he could only marry a woman who was divorced or physically disabled, and suddenly said a little unhappy: "Sister, what are you talking about? What are you divorced?" After several marriages, Qianqian is still a big girl!"

"Big girl???"

Zhang Shufang was stunned.

Like my younger brother, there are big girls who are willing to be with him?

Did you hear it right?

Zhang Xiaoran naturally heard that her sister didn't believe her words, so she had to tell the truth: "Sister, the girl who is engaged to me is Zhang Qianqian, she is the daughter of Zhang Xiaodong in our village."

"Zhang Xiaodong?"

Zhang Shufang searched for this person from her memory, and quickly remembered, "You mean Zhang Xiaodong, a kid who lived in the west of the village and always followed your ass when he was a child?"

More than 30 years ago, Zhang Shufang married out of town. Since her parents passed away, she has not returned to Taoyuan Village. She has lost many memories of the people and events in the village.

"Yes, that's Zhang Xiaodong, but he's not a kid anymore, he's almost forty now, and he's middle-aged." Zhang Xiaoran said with a smile.

Time flies so fast, the former brat is now a middle-aged uncle, and even his father-in-law.

Who would have thought of it back then? ? ?

"Zhang Xiaodong's daughter?"

It took Zhang Shufang a while to recover, and she asked in surprise, "You said you were engaged to Zhang Xiaodong's daughter, how old is his daughter?"

"Qianqian is eighteen this year. She is very good-looking and kind. Sis, you will like her when you see her." to interrupt.

"Brother, you can do it, you can talk to a big girl, sister is so happy, my brother is the best!"

Zhang Shufang's voice seemed to be a little choked up, and Zhang Xiaoran felt a little sore when he heard it.

"Of course, your brother is very powerful now!" Zhang Xiaoran said with a sour nose.

If there is a relative who treats me unreservedly in this world, it is my eldest sister.

"Yeah, my brother is amazing, but why did he call me today after getting engaged tomorrow? Even if I buy a plane ticket now, I can't make it!" Zhang Shufang said a little unhappy.

His parents are gone, his eldest sister is his closest relative, why does his younger brother notify himself of such a big matter now!

Tomorrow's engagement, even if I buy the plane ticket now, it's too late!

"Sister, it's just an engagement, you and your brother-in-law don't need to come here, just come back when you get engaged." Zhang Xiaoran said.

My sister and brother-in-law opened a small restaurant in Hangzhou, and it was not easy to earn some money. Zhang Xiaoran didn't want to delay her voice by making her sister and brother-in-law travel all the way from other places because of the engagement.

"How can this work? My younger brother is engaged in a marriage. How can I not come back? I will book a plane ticket now, and I will be able to arrive in Guishi in the evening, and then I will charter a car back, and I will be able to arrive at my hometown at noon tomorrow."

Zhang Shufang affirmed that the joy that could not be concealed was the joy that her younger brother finally understood a major event in life.

"That's it, I'm going to book a plane ticket now." After finishing speaking, Zhang Shufang hung up the phone and immediately started booking a plane ticket to Guishi online.

……

In the morning, Xu Yuandong brought a few apprentices and a few hotel attendants to Zhang Xiaoran's house, and without saying much, he started to prepare for the banquet.

Knowing that Xu Yuandong and the others are the chefs of the Mengyao Hotel in the county seat, especially that Xu Yuandong is a famous national chef, the whole Taoyuan Village was a sensation.

The chefs from the county town hotel came to the village to cook noodles for Zhang Xiaoran. Among them, the old chef was also a national chef. He used to cook state banquets for heads of state, but now he came to the village to cook noodles for Zhang Xiaoran.

This simply made the villagers unbelievable!

Those villagers who used to suspect that Zhang Xiaoran was not doing well in big cities like his parents said, now they all believe that Zhang Xiaoran is really doing well outside.

This is a state chef who cooks a state banquet for the head of state, which is not something ordinary people can get.

And Zhang Xiaoran was able to invite the national chef to make noodles for his engagement banquet, what a face and ability!

Originally, many people in the village ridiculed Zhang Xiaodong and his wife for marrying Shui Lingling's daughter to Zhang Xiaoran who was older than their husband and wife, and they didn't know how to lose face.

But now?

Many people even feel a little envious.

I envy Zhang Xiaodong and his wife for having a capable son-in-law!

Marrying a daughter, marrying a daughter, isn't it just to find a good husband-in-law for your daughter and a good son-in-law for yourself?

It seems that Zhang Xiaodong and his wife are lucky, and they will enjoy happiness in the future.

The villagers also came to make friends with Zhang Xiaoran.

……

After two o'clock in the afternoon,

Zhang Xiaoran stood at the gate of Zhang Qianqian's small courtyard.

Seeing this specially cleaned small farmyard, Zhang Xiaoran was deeply moved. He never thought that the girl he met back in the village would take him here to stay overnight, and finally made his marriage with her.

But at this moment, I came to this small courtyard to marry the girl who brought me here to become my daughter-in-law, and to grow old with me forever.

And the owner of this small courtyard, his former good brother, became his father-in-law after this.

Life encounters, capricious, good fortune tricks people!

anyway?

Zhang Xiaoran felt that he was happy!

How lucky I am to marry a girl like Zhang Qianqian!

Carrying the things, he followed the fifth wife into the small courtyard. Step by step, Zhang Xiaoran entered the main room of the courtyard, making Zhang Xiaoran feel as if he had stepped into a hall, into a very important palace in life.

In the main room, Zhang Xiaodong and Wu Guifang were sitting there upright.

After bringing Zhang Xiaoran into the house, the fifth woman coughed softly, and then led Zhang Xiaoran to meet Zhang Xiaodong and his wife according to the custom, expressing to them that she liked their daughter, and hoped that they could betroth their daughter to her as a wife.

Then, he handed his birth date to Zhang Xiaodong and his wife, and also introduced the situation of his family, how he will be filial to them in the future, and love Zhang Qianqian...

These step-by-step rules made Zhang Xiaoran dizzy, but fortunately, under the guidance of Wu Po, the matchmaker, it was finally completed.

"Xiaoran, sit down and drink tea!"

After completing the process according to the rules, Zhang Xiaodong held a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Xiaoran. After Zhang Xiaoran took it in a proper manner, it was considered that Zhang Xiaodong and his wife accepted him.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaodong, his wife and others left the hall.

Without making Zhang Xiaoran wait long, Zhang Qianqian walked in.

Zhang Qianqian dressed up specially today.

The first thing that catches the eye is a white tube top dress. The delicate lace sets off the white legs, slender and straight, and the exquisite curves are completely outlined.

Inadvertently, she caressed the corner of her lips, and drew out the tucked hair. The lightness of her fingertips was like the liveliness of an elf, and her eyes were like the waves of an autumn day. It seems natural.

Without any additional decorations, a head of long black hair as soft as water, slanting down like a waterfall, just rightly scattered on the slightly shaved fragrant shoulders, passing by the ear, the white and tender left ear, faintly visible Small earrings, the light flickers on and off, but her face always has a faint smile, bright eyes and white teeth.

"Qianqian!"

It was natural for Zhang Xiaoran to be excited, he quickly stepped forward, tightly holding onto Zhang Qianqian's little hand and refused to let go.

"Uncle!"

Zhang Qianqian was also very happy. Ever since the night when he first saw the uncle, he rushed over to protect himself from being stuck, and he had his shadow in his heart. From then on, he often talked to the uncle regardless of the feudal customs of the countryside together.

No matter what the villagers say, Zhang Qianqian enjoys it. Being with the uncle makes Zhang Qianqian very happy, relaxed and feels safe.

After today, I can be with my uncle openly and aboveboard, and let Zhang Qianqian's little heart be filled with happiness.

Zhang Qianqian's delicate face was slightly flushed because of excitement, Zhang Xiaoran couldn't help but hugged Zhang Qianqian, lowered her head, and wanted to kiss gently...

"uh-huh!"

Suddenly, a humming sound woke up the two who were intoxicated in their affection, Zhang Qianqian hurriedly pushed Zhang Xiaoran away in panic, and tidied her clothes in panic.

"Mother, it's true, I didn't allow myself to spend more time alone with my uncle, and even watched secretly, I am already a big girl!" Zhang Qianqian murmured secretly in her heart.

Because of being under surveillance, Zhang Xiaoran couldn't cuddle with Zhang Qianqian anymore. The two sat side by side, and Zhang Xiaoran held Zhang Qianqian's jade-like hand, expressing their lovesickness to each other.

After the two chatted for half an hour, the fifth wife came in and told Zhang Xiaoran to prepare, and later invited his future father-in-law and mother-in-law's family to his home for an engagement banquet.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiaoran whispered in Zhang Qianqian's ear: "Honey, you can move in to uncle's house after today, anyway, even if we have held an engagement ceremony, we are not afraid of other people's gossip!"
