As you wish, start from the Siheyuan

"Call your dad and Xiao Fang to eat, go quickly before it gets cold."

"Oh!"

After hearing what Aunt Qin Lan said, Li Dongmei ran to the study and called us to eat.

At the dinner table, I opened a bottle of Moutai and a bottle of Bordeaux red wine and used a decanter to decant the wine.

"Uncle, aunt, my wedding house is ready, and I have a car, and I will buy new ones later. It's just that my age is a problem, so I have to wait another two years."

While pouring wine for Deputy Director Li and Aunt Qin Lan, I chatted about the current situation.

Deputy Director Li glanced at Aunt Qin Lan and said nothing.

"Xiao Fang, you are a good person with good character and abilities, and the conditions are perfect. Just wait for two years. Anyway, you two are still young, unlike us, where age doesn't matter. Besides, it's not good to get married too young. When you are old enough, your health will naturally be fine.

I see that you two have such a good relationship, and it won't be a big deal after a while, so let's get married someday, and others won't gossip about it anymore."

Aunt Qin Lan thought about it and then expressed her thoughts.

"That's great, Auntie. I'll ask our elders to choose a date for us tomorrow. Haha... Uncle and auntie, have some wine. Dongmei should drink some too. Drinking a little wine can promote blood circulation and beautify your skin!"

I toasted them with wine happily, and Li Dongmei's family looked very satisfied. A hot pot in the new home was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

With my current physical condition, a little alcohol is nothing to me. I drove Li Dongmei and her family away with a normal expression, then came back, warmed the pot, and slept here on the first day.

The next day I drove to the compound, intending to ask my godmother to make a decision for me.

"Godmother, look what I brought you?"

Before I even entered the door, I started looking for my godmother.

"Fang Fa is here. She's in the kitchen. Come over here."

Listening to my godmother's tone, I feel quite happy today.

I walked into the kitchen and saw her making dumplings. I put the mutton and two fish in the kitchen, washed my hands, sat down at the chopping board, picked up the dough and started rolling out the dumpling skins.

"Godmother, I said we were going to have mutton and fish today, but I didn't expect you to start making dumplings so early."

"Oh, it's you who sent the meat and vegetables yesterday. They can't be left alone, so I have to cook them right away. You're just making trouble for me. Take less next time."

This old lady must be afraid that I'm spending money recklessly, so she's deliberately finding fault with me!

"Oh! I can bring less food so that you won't be tired all the time, but I can't let you go hungry either, right? Otherwise, people will say I'm unfilial! I'm in a dilemma, can you teach me?"

"Puchi... You little brat, let me tell you clearly, there are disasters everywhere and things are so scarce, it's not easy for you either, I... I'm just worried that you'll make a mistake, you're the only one left at home and there's no one to help you, why do you still worry about an old lady like me, wuwu..."

The old lady's mood changes a lot! I quickly went out and got a towel.

"Godmother, don't think too much. These things are nothing. Even the canteen procurement of the steel plant is done through my channels. There is absolutely no problem. You should eat and drink. I still have you and my godfather. How much can you help me?

"I only have this ability. I can eat my fill, so why should I be hungry? Wipe it, look at you, old lady, I still want to eat dumplings!"

"Is it really okay? Just tell me the truth. If there is anything, tell me in advance. I will help you even if I have to risk my reputation."

"Really, there is no problem at all. The accounts are clear and transparent! Don't worry, I am still trying to help as much as I can. It's not easy for the workers either.

Oh! Godmother, I came here to talk about something! You interrupted me again! Humph! "

I pretended to be angry and turned my head away from her.

"Haha... you little brat, you are getting more and more cunning. In the past, including your godfather, there was no one I couldn't deal with. I didn't expect that now I can be controlled by you, a little brat. Sigh! I'm getting old! Tell me, what's the matter that will make the old lady happy?"

The old lady shook her head and said with a smile.

"Hehe...! A godmother is a godmother. You can tell at once that something good is going to happen. You are indeed an old revolutionary comrade who once made a fool of the devils. Awesome!"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me why I can't keep my cool when it comes to your problems. Haha..."

"Hehe... This is what happened. I found a date, her name is Li Dongmei. Her father is the deputy director of the steel mill, Li. I only found out about this later. Her mother, Aunt Qin Lan, is very straightforward and a very good person. She raised Li Dongmei to be generous, decent, smart, virtuous, gentle and considerate..."

"Stop...! Did you find a fairy? Haha..."

"Well...well...we are not of the right age yet. She is still studying at Beijing University. I explained the situation to her family yesterday. Aunt Qin Lan said we can get engaged first, so I came to ask you to help me! Drink some water, godmother."

I smiled ingratiatingly and took my godmother's cup of water and passed it over.

"Haha...! Okay! Okay! Since you like it, it's a matter of mutual consent. As an elder, I naturally hope to make it happen. I'll ask someone to pick a date..."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady walked out of the house.

I was stunned by what I saw.

"Godmother, no, there's no rush! The dumplings haven't been wrapped yet..."

"Leave it there for now... I'll be back soon..."

Finally, an old leader said:

"Now we have new people and a new atmosphere. May 5th is also the founding anniversary of our Masses Daily. The 15th is good."

From then on, the engagement date between Li Dongmei and I was set.

August 5, 15:11.

My godfather, godmother, Li Dongmei's family and I showed up at the Oriental Hotel on time.

When the godfather and godmother met Li Dongmei's family at the door, the godmother immediately smiled and took Li Dongmei's hand.

"Oh! It turns out that she is such a pretty girl, she is so rare. It's all because Fang Fa has been hiding her from me. If I hadn't been anxious to find him a marriage, he would have kept it a secret from me. Now I feel relieved, hehe... Is she my relative?"

"Aunt, uncle, this is my godmother, this is my godfather, godmother, this is Aunt Qin Lan and Uncle Li, this is Li Dongmei."

"My dear father-in-law and mother-in-law, hello. I have heard from Fang Fa about you two a long time ago. She said that you two have been making contributions to China. It is really admirable. We finally meet today, hehe..."

Aunt Qin Lan walked forward and held her godmother's arm.

"Hello, leader! I am Li Baohua from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I have long wanted to visit you and listen to your teachings."

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Li, your Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has always been outstanding! Very good, let's go in and talk, hehe..."

The godfather gave way to Li Dongmei's family and walked into the restaurant first.

"This place is really nice. It's a rare opportunity to come here. I heard that many celebrities have lived here!"

Aunt Qin Lan supported her godmother and followed her godfather and Deputy Director Li who were walking in front, and praised the environment and heritage here generously.

"Haha, yes, I heard that Li Juzhao, Chen Guxiu and others lived on the second floor..."

We laughed and talked along the way, and then we arrived at the private room on the first floor after chatting about family matters.

At the dinner table, I took out the gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold earrings and gold rings that I had prepared in a box and handed them to my godmother first, and she passed them to Aunt Qin Lan.

I originally thought about giving diamonds as a gift, but no one recognizes that stuff now, so I had to take out gold jewelry. But I think it’s pretty good. It’s golden, antique, and has a unique beauty.
