Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

When the women in the office heard the noise outside, they all stopped and looked towards the door curiously.

A handsome young man walked in from the door. Before everyone could react, the young man shouted to Wang Guiying.

"Mom, can you come out for a moment? I have something to ask you."

Everyone has seen Wang Guiying's son, and now another son has appeared. The answer is self-evident. This young man is the good son-in-law of the Ning family that they were just talking about - Sun Zhengguo.

They were just talking about someone else, but now that they saw the real person, everyone felt a little embarrassed. Only Wang Guiying stood up and smiled.

"It's Jungkook! Okay, I'll be right there."

However, Wang Guiying still introduced them to her colleagues. After everyone said hello, the two left the office.

After the two men left, the office was in an uproar again and everyone started talking about it again.

"This sister Wang's son-in-law is really good. He looks good, has a high education, and has a good job. Wow! Sister Wang has found a good son-in-law!"

"I heard that her son-in-law's family is also good. Both his parents are officials in the steel mill. The boy's mother is in the same industry as us. We met her last time at Jiaodaokou Street Office. She is the deputy director of the Women's Federation of the steel mill."

“Be good…”

The discussions of her colleagues had no effect on Wang Guiying. At this moment, she was taking Sun Zhengguo to an empty place in the yard.

"Zhengguo, why did you come to the street office? What's the matter?"

"Mom, I came to tell you that my mom knows that you asked Xiaowei to bring the letter. She will be there tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank your mom for me. Anything else?"

"Oh! Xiaowei asked me to come and ask if there's anything I can help you with, or if there's anything your family needs. You know, I have some connections, and I can get some things that others can't."

After hearing what Sun Zhengguo said, Wang Guiying realized that she really needed it, but she was just too embarrassed to speak up.

Now that my son-in-law has asked about it, I have a way out.

"Zhengguo, the marriage proposal will be made tomorrow morning. You should go too! It will make the number even. Besides, the marriage proposal gift from your family is not bad, but...?"

At the end, Wang Guiying was still too embarrassed to speak.

"Mom, what is it? Tell me now! If I can help, I will. Is it about my eldest brother's wedding banquet?"

Sun Zhengguo already had some guesses, so he took the initiative to bring them up.

"Hey! I didn't plan to hold a wedding banquet, but the army chief will be here too, so we'll have to set up two or three tables! But I really don't have that many tickets!"

"Hey! I don't think it's a big deal. Leave it to me. Let's discuss how many people there are tomorrow. We happen to have a chef in our hospital, so I'll find one for you. What do you think?"

"But what about this ticket?"

"Mom, didn't you hear what Xiaowei said? If you need tickets, why do you need to look for me? Anyone can buy them, just wait and eat! I will arrange everything clearly when the time comes."

After hearing what Sun Zhengguo said, Wang Guiying was completely relieved. It seemed that what her daughter said was true. This son-in-law was really a capable man.

"By the way, Zhengguo, you should have heard what I said at the door just now. Do you really want to work in the ministry?"

After finishing the business talk, Wang Guiying thought of the gossip about her colleague and asked curiously.

"Mom, this is all arranged by our professor, it's almost certain!"

Sun Zhengguo never doubted what Professor Wu said. For an academic master in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, these were all basic operations and a piece of cake.

"Okay! Then you go back and do your work first! I'll give you the money after this is over. Don't be polite. I can't help you out of kindness and then ask you to pay for it."

Sun Zhengguo did not refute this point. It was already a miracle that he could buy things without a ticket. If he didn't ask for money, it would be a bit unreasonable.

After the two of them finished talking, Sun Zhengguo didn't stay any longer. He got on his bike and drove home.

Seeing that everything for the wedding banquet had been settled, Wang Guiying happily returned to the office.

As soon as I entered the door, my colleague Li Cuifeng asked curiously.

"Sister Wang, what does your son-in-law want to talk to you about right now?"

"Nothing? I'm going to propose tomorrow. Didn't I ask my in-laws to help? Oh! You've seen her too. She's Deputy Director Lin of the steel mill. Look, she agreed. My son-in-law came to tell me so that I wouldn't be ignorant and make wild guesses."

Wang Guiying was not stupid. Lin Wencui's help in proposing marriage was secondary. She would not tell others that her son-in-law could buy some scarce materials without a ticket, so as not to bring trouble to her son-in-law.

When several colleagues in the office heard that it was just some trivial matters, they lost interest and started to work again.

Sun Zhengguo, on this side, having helped his mother-in-law and completed his wife's instructions, happily returned to the courtyard.

After returning home and parking his bicycle, Sun Zhengguo walked towards the central courtyard without even entering the door.

He wanted to find He Daqing and arrange the chef for his brother-in-law's wedding banquet.

"Is Mr. He at home?"

He Daqing, who was sitting by the stove in the house to keep warm, stood up subconsciously when he heard someone shouting. He Yushui, who was standing next to him, also looked outside the door curiously.

"I'm here! Come in!"

With the owner's permission, Sun Zhengguo lifted the thick door curtain and walked into the house.

"Uncle He, Sister Yushui, they are all here!"

"Hello, Jungkook!"

He Yushui greeted him with a smile.

"It's Zhengguo! Come and warm yourself by the fire. It's cold, so it's a good idea to keep warm."

"Rainwater! Pour a glass of water for your brother Zhengguo."

He Daqing also greeted warmly.

"No trouble, I'll just leave after I tell you something."

After saying this, Sun Zhengguo sat down in the furnace room, took off his gloves, and rubbed his hands.

After a while, He Yushui also brought hot tea and handed it to Sun Zhengguo.

"Thank you!"

Taking the teacup, Sun Zhengguo took a sip first, then spoke slowly.

"Uncle He, it's the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. I wonder if you are free. I would like to ask you two to help prepare a wedding banquet for two or three tables."

When He Daqing heard that they wanted him to be the host, he immediately became excited. How could he be busy?

If it weren't for his son, he would have starved to death sooner or later with the small amount of food he had.

However, he still pretended to be calm and spoke calmly.

"There must be some, but what are the specifications? Can you tell me about it?"

After the lesson from Sun Zhengguo’s wedding banquet last time, He Daqing would not think that it was just an ordinary wedding banquet, so he had to ask clearly to avoid being in a rush again.

"It should be similar to what I did last time! There should be some beef and mutton. Just make a menu based on this standard."

When He Daqing heard this, he knew what was going on. This was another wealthy man!

But this was exactly what he wanted. Even if he had to collect some leftovers, it would improve the food.

"Okay, I'll write a menu in a bit and ask Yu Shui to deliver it to you at noon. Can you take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be changed?"

After finishing the business, Sun Zhengguo left the address of his mother-in-law's house. The two chatted for a while and drank a cup of tea before he said goodbye and went home.
