Integrity Pension System

"Uncle, don't be ashamed!"

Zhang Qianqian's face was flushed by Zhang Xiaoran's words, then she gave Zhang Xiaoran a slight look, and whispered: "Uncle, an engagement is an engagement, as long as we are not married, we cannot live together, otherwise we will be laughed at."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhang Xiaoran responded perfunctorily.

These days, many men and women are not even boyfriends and girlfriends, and they often drive, not to mention that Zhang Qianqian and I are engaged now and live together, who would say that it's up to you!

It's just that Zhang Qianqian has a thin skin!

Today is the day when the two are engaged, and there are many things to do, the two of them can't be alone for too long, not to mention Zhang Qianqian's mother is watching carefully outside the house.

In the end, she hugged Zhang Qianqian fiercely, and after kissing Zhang Qianqian's small face, reluctantly walked out of the main room to meet Zhang Qianqian's relatives.

……

The engagement banquet at Zhang Xiaoran's family was without a doubt very sumptuous, plus Xu Yuandong, a national chef, was in charge, so it was naturally well received.

This made Zhang Xiaodong and his wife very happy!

They also didn't expect that Zhang Xiaoran would invite the best hotel chef in the county to cook the engagement banquet in the village, and the chef was even a very powerful national chef.

I heard from everyone that this national chef is the chef for the state banquet, and the dishes for entertaining foreign heads of state are all made by these national chefs.

Many rich people want to eat a dish made by the national chef, and they have to make an appointment for a long time, and it doesn't even matter, they still can't eat it.

And this national chef master personally brought his apprentice to the village to cook for his daughter's engagement banquet today, what a shame!

Zhang Xiaodong and his wife are very happy to have such a capable son-in-law.

It would be great if the son-in-law was 20 years younger.

Although there is a little bit of regret, Zhang Xiaodong and his wife are still somewhat proud of the envious and jealous eyes of the villagers.

The son-in-law is older, but what's the matter, whoever makes him capable, as long as he treats his daughter well and is filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, that is better than anything else.

According to the customs in the Daqingshan area, the engagement banquet is a meeting between the parents of the male and female parties to discuss subsequent engagement and marriage matters.

Because both parents are gone, the eldest sister is the mother, and the eldest sister Zhang Shufang, who rushed over from Hangzhou overnight, received the woman's family as the head of the man's family.

Although Zhang Shufang has been married for more than 20 years, she is still familiar with these old people in the village. In addition, opening a shop in a big city, she is very sophisticated in dealing with people, and it is easy to deal with them.

"Hehe, Xiaodong, I really didn't expect that our two families will become in-laws, and my younger brother will become your son-in-law. Who would have thought of that before!"

Zhang Shufang said with a smile, she was very relaxed and full of aura, unlike Zhang Xiaodong and his wife who were slightly cramped and nervous.

After the two elders chatted, they asked Zhang Qianqian, who had been following Zhang Xiaodong and his wife, to make tea.

Zhang Qianqian lowered her head slightly and wore a white tube top dress. After brewing tea in the teapot, she poured two cups of tea into the tea tray, held the tea tray in front of her future sister-in-law, her cherry lips parted and said: "Sister , please drink tea"

The voice was beautiful and pleasant, a little immature, without a hint of vulgarity, making Zhang Shufang nodded secretly, and then took the teacup, pretending to drink tea, while carefully sizing up the appearance of the future sister-in-law.

With a height of 1.6 meters, a soft and slender oval face, soft and slender eyebrows, clear and bright eyes, a cute little nose, a small pink cherry mouth, and a pure and cute girly face, Zhang Shufang is more and more attractive The more I like it.

It's good to have a good eye on my brother!

What surprised Zhang Shufang even more was that she fell in love with such a good girl. Before Zhang Qianqian met her younger brother, she had never been in a relationship.

From the way Qianqian looks at her younger brother, Zhang Shufang can tell that she really likes her younger brother.

This is very important!

This shows that she and her younger brother have an emotional foundation. Only such a marriage can last long and the family can be prosperous.

"Qianqian, come to eldest sister!"

Zhang Shufang was very satisfied with this future sister-in-law, so she called Zhang Qianqian over and asked her to sit beside her, then took out a gold bracelet from her pocket and helped Zhang Qianqian put it on her hand: "Here I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to choose a suitable meeting gift for you, so I chose this gold bracelet for you."

"Ah, this is too precious, I... can't have it!" Zhang Qianqian exclaimed, and was about to take off the gold bracelet on her slender wrist.

"Qianqian, this bracelet will be yours from now on. This is a gift from the eldest sister, and you must accept it." Zhang Shufang held Zhang Qianqian's hand, smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Qianqian in a gentle tone.

"Well, thank you ma'am."

Seeing that she couldn't evade it, Zhang Qianqian blushed with shame, but she was very happy in her heart. She naturally understood that this sister-in-law had already recognized her as a sister-in-law.

……

The dining table was set under the ginkgo tree, and the engagement banquet went smoothly, and even the date of engagement was given.

The main reason is that both Zhang Xiaoran and his brother are impatient. Zhang Xiaoran wants to live with Zhang Qianqian earlier and live a life in a two-person world.

But Zhang Shufang was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, and that the good brother-in-law who was about to cook would fly away.

It's not easy for me to open a shop in Hangzhou. Since Zhang Xiaoran and Zhang Qianqian are in such a good relationship, now that the engagement banquet has been arranged, we can do it in one step. Tomorrow is also a good day, so we can even hold the engagement.

The day of the engagement has also been set, and it will be tomorrow.

As for the details, the elder sister Zhang Shufang was there, and Zhang Xiaoran didn't have anything to do, so she and the fifth wife took care of everything.

Zhang Xiaodong and his wife also felt that since the engagement banquet was arranged, it would be nice to hold the engagement banquet by the way. The engagement banquet should be held sooner or later, and it is better to hold the engagement banquet sooner rather than later.

Anyway, my daughter likes to run to Zhang Xiaoran's house, after the engagement is over, even if she lives together, no one will gossip.

After the engagement banquet, Zhang Qianqian's family went home.

"Master Xu, thank you for your hard work!"

After all the guests had left, they set up a table in the yard to thank Xu Yuandong and the rest of the masters who came to make the banquet.

"Boss Zhang, you are being polite. It is also my honor to be able to hold an engagement banquet for Mr. Zhang. We will also make noodles for them at the engagement banquet tomorrow." Xu Yuandong said to Zhang Shufang with a smile.

It is really unexpected that Mr. Zhang Xiaodong, who has such superb cooking skills, was born in such a poor village in the mountains.

As for Zhang Xiaoran's engagement to a girl more than 20 years younger than him, Xu Yuandong was not surprised.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, since ancient times, is it common for capable men to marry girls who are much younger than him?

Don't say that they are 20 years apart, but they are 50 or [-] years apart. Xu Yuandong knows several people.

"Thank you so much, Master Xu and all the masters."

Zhang Shufang said gratefully.

I don't know where my younger brother's ability is that the chefs of these big hotels are so flattering to him, especially this old Mr. Xu, who is still a national chef, is so polite when talking to his younger brother.

Zhang Shufang owns a restaurant, so she naturally knows that a national chef has a high status in the chef world and is also a high-ranking person in society.

Such a person who is unattainable in her eyes is trying to curry favor with her younger brother.

This is simply incredible.

But no matter how Zhang Shufang looked at it, she didn't find out what her brother was capable of.

You know, Zhang Shufang has been to the company where her brother works because she is worried about her own brother.

It was a small factory with more than 100 workers. My younger brother was an employee in one of the workshops. He was paid piecework, and he only earned 4000 yuan a month after working hard.

Although I know that most people work in the factory, just like my younger brother, Zhang Shufang's heart aches when she sees her younger brother working hard!

I also persuaded my younger brother to go to Hangzhou with me to help my restaurant, but he refused to go anyway.

Zhang Shufang knew that her brother's self-esteem was at work, and she had no choice.

Therefore, Zhang Shufang thought she knew how much her younger brother was capable of.

But after getting along today, her younger brother is still the same younger brother, and Zhang Shufang can't feel any difference from him.

But whether it's Zhang Qianqian, a beautiful little girl who likes him and is willing to be his wife, or the respectful attitude of this old chef.

Zhang Shufang couldn't understand her younger brother.

Is he really good at it? ? ?

The banquet lasted until after three o'clock in the afternoon. After seeing off the chefs like Xu Yuandong, they cleaned up the yard a little bit. Eldest sister Zhang Shufang, brother-in-law Li Zhiguo, and Zhang Xiaoran went separately to invite the elders, relatives and friends in the village to discuss the matter of the engagement banquet.

The time remains the same, it will be noon tomorrow, but the engagement banquet is different from the engagement banquet, and more people will be invited. In addition to my relatives and friends, the woman's relatives and friends must also be invited to attend.

Of course, the elders in the village should also be invited, anyway, there are not many people in the village now, so Zhang Xiaoran felt that he should invite them all.

Finally, after calculation, there will be fifteen tables in total, plus the three reserved tables, there will be eighteen tables in total.

If this is a temporary grocery shopping, it must be too late now.

But if the engagement banquet is held directly at "Mengyao Hotel", everything will be fine.

Although holding the engagement banquet at "Mengyao Hotel" and chartering a car to pick it up cost a lot of money, both Zhang Xiaoran and his brother are willing to spend this money.

It's just such an engagement banquet in this life, so it's natural to hold it, it's a face, isn't it?

In addition to the banquet, a bride price is also required. The custom in Yunshui County is to give a bride price to the woman when she is engaged.

The siblings discussed it and planned to give Zhang Qianqian's family a bride price of 18. In addition to the gift, they also had to buy a three-piece set of gold ring, gold bracelet, and gold necklace. As for the other scattered items, Zhang Xiaoran and his brother didn't understand , I handed it to the fifth wife to help me buy it.

18 dowry gifts, in Yunshui County, a poor county, can be regarded as not low. With the addition of gold three-piece suits and other odds and ends, more than [-] yuan was removed at once.

Although Zhang Xiaoran now has more than 3000 million deposits in his bank card, the 3000 million is earmarked and can only be used to buy a car and cannot be used for other purposes. What he can really use is only 5 yuan.

However, Zhang Xiaoran didn't need to spend a penny on all the expenses of this engagement, the eldest sister Zhang Shufang and brother-in-law covered all of it.

Zhang Xiaoran was very moved, but he didn't say anything, he just remembered the favor of his elder sister and brother-in-law in his heart, and he would naturally repay it twice in the future.

……

In the morning, it was only five o'clock, and Zhang Shufang and his wife got up early to start preparing for the engagement. As for Zhang Xiaoran, he was naturally still sleeping.

Last night, Zhang Xiaoran specially greeted her sister and brother-in-law, not to wake him up until six o'clock in the morning. Zhang Shufang, who loved her younger brother since she was a child, naturally agreed.

After all, from Zhang Shufang's point of view, the engagement of Zhang Xiaoran and Zhang Luo was her responsibility as a sister, and Zhang Xiaoran was just a tool person.

At six o'clock, Zhang Xiaoran got up on time, washed up, and ate the breakfast prepared by her elder brother-in-law.

Not to mention, the self-taught elder brother-in-law is quite good at cooking. The few breakfasts he made are really good, they look good, they look good, and they taste good.

It's no wonder that the restaurant they run is doing well. According to my brother-in-law, they can earn 40 million yuan a year.

"Integrity pension system" is his foundation, as long as there are no very special circumstances, Zhang Xiaoran will naturally insist on completing the task of "integrity pension system".

As long as I persist for another 79 days, I will complete the good habit task of "getting up at six o'clock in the morning and going to bed before ten o'clock every morning".

After breakfast, Zhang Xiaoran also joined in the work. After the house was furnished, some relatives of Zhang Xiaoran's family also came to help early.

Everyone swept the yard that was cleaned yesterday, and cleaned up the inside and outside again, so that the whole small courtyard looked brand new, and it was spotless everywhere.

Afterwards, the women who came to help were busy in the kitchen. Although the engagement banquet was arranged at the "Mengyao Hotel" in the county seat, many guests would come to Zhang Xiaoran's house first, and the family had to prepare snacks for the guests, so they had to fry them a lot in advance. Eggs, boil a large pot of black fungus meat slice soup, when guests come, they cook a bowl of noodles to greet them.

"Xiaoran, you are engaged today. In half a year, you will marry Qianqian, and you will have your own family in the future. My sister is so happy for you!"

Zhang Shufang stood in front of Zhang Xiaoran, helping her younger brother to tidy up his clothes. His younger brother was wearing a neat Armani suit, and he looked a bit elegant, which made Zhang Shufang feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart, and wept with joy. .

How difficult it is for my younger brother to have such a marriage at the age of 42!

In any case, as the eldest sister, I must help him solve his life-long affairs.

"Sister, today is the day of my engagement, you can't shed tears!" Zhang Xiaoran wiped the tears on the elder sister's face with his hands.

"Yes, today is a happy day!" Zhang Shufang said with a smile, holding back her tears.

From now on, the younger brother got married, and his wife took care of him.

I can be considered to have completed the confession of my parents before they died, and helped my younger brother marry a wife.
