Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

When it comes to proposing marriage, Cheng Hao was slightly startled, then he sighed, grasped Xu Yun's soft little hand and gave a direct answer: "I will come to propose marriage the day after tomorrow weekend."

His girlfriend has already made it so clear, and it would be tactless for Cheng Hao to drag his feet any further.

Nowadays, there are not so many requirements for marriage. If a man and a woman are attracted to each other, they just need to find a good day to get the marriage certificate.

Xu Yun was delighted when she heard her boyfriend agree. She hugged Cheng Hao's neck from behind and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry about the house. I bought a small courtyard with two entrances near Xining Street. It will take a day or two to decorate it and it can be used as a wedding house."

Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Where did you get the yard?"

A lot of things happened in the past few days, and Cheng Hao had no time to buy a new house. Unexpectedly, Xu Yun had already done it first.

“I have to thank Sister Ying for this.

Her home is in this area and she is very familiar with the surroundings.

I asked her yesterday and got the result soon.

This yard has a clean history, there is no problem. I bought it with my own salary, I didn't take any bribes from others, and I didn't bother my parents. Now you should be relieved."

Xu Yun's dark eyes turned, and there was a smile in her light voice.

All preparations have been made, and now Cheng Hao has no way to escape.

Cheng Hao was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "This... Doesn't this make me a gigolo?"

In later generations, when getting married, the man would prepare a house and a car, and many girls would still put forward various conditions without any hesitation.

Now Xu Yun has prepared all her belongings and is just waiting for Cheng Hao's consent. It is almost the same as throwing herself at him. The gap is really too big.

"Isn't this soft rice from my sister to your liking? Others want to eat it but can't."

Xu Yun smiled more brightly, released Cheng Hao's neck and said seriously: "Comrade Cheng Hao, I am sincere in doing this.

After you get married, you can't have your cake and eat it too, understand?"

A young and promising talent like Cheng Hao is definitely a hot commodity in the eyes of the girls in the old city.

As Cheng Hao rises step by step, he will inevitably encounter countless temptations in the future.

Xu Yun had seen people who climbed to a high position and then filed for divorce, dumped their original wives, and married young and beautiful girls as second wives. She did all this to prevent trouble before it happened.

Cheng Hao did not answer, but just held Xu Yun down and held her in his arms.

"I'm not the kind of person who is indecisive. You are enough for me."

When he was young and ignorant, Cheng Hao had fantasized about a life with red flags flying at home and colorful flags outside.

But after going through so many things, he became mature and stable and no longer took chances.

It's good enough if you can take good care of the one at home. Messping around outside will only cause countless troubles and ruin your future.

The two people who were close to each other looked at each other. Xu Yun cooperated by closing her eyes. Cheng Hao did not hesitate and came close to her without any scruples.

……

On Sunday morning, it was a rare cool and cloudy day. Cheng Hao came to the East District to meet Xu Yun with gifts he had prepared in advance.

After they packed their bags and made sure everything was ready, they went to visit the Xu family together.

The Xu family's house is located in the core area of ​​the Second Ring Road. The main body is a three-story white villa with separate front and back yards. It is very large and quite imposing. Just from the outside, you can tell that the owner is not a simple person.

Anyone who can own a house of this standard in the core area of ​​​​Sijiu City must be a very noble person, whose rank is far higher than Cheng Hao.

It was Cheng Hao's first visit and he was a little nervous. Before entering, he asked Xu Yun to help him pack his luggage so that he could meet his future father-in-law in the best condition.

After returning to her home, Xu Yun was very casual. After entering the door, she pointed at the furnishings on both sides and introduced them to Cheng Hao one by one.

The two men walked to the front door of the white villa. As soon as Cheng Hao knocked on the door, a servant opened the door to greet them. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

The servant led Cheng Hao into the lobby on the first floor and left.

The furnishings in the hall are simple, with a coffee table, several leather sofas, and potted plants in the corners. There are also several portraits of great men hanging on the walls.

A middle-aged couple was sitting on the sofa at the top, looking at Xu Yun with smiles on their faces.

"Yun'er, you're back.

This should be Cheng Hao. Don't stand there, come and sit down." Mother Xu stood up and greeted him warmly.

"mom……"

Xu Yun trotted all the way and rushed to her mother.

Xu's mother looked at her daughter lovingly, while Xu's father shook his head helplessly.

"Uncle, aunt, hello."

Cheng Hao stepped forward and presented the prepared gift.

"Haha, this kid has been wild since he was young. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Father Xu was calm, as if he was talking to an old acquaintance. It seemed that he already knew something about Cheng Hao.

"Xu Yun is lively and positive, which is exactly what young people in the new era should be like.

Just like our country, although it is new, it is full of vitality and vigor. With unity and solidarity, revival is only a matter of time. "

Cheng Hao praised Xu Yun and also implicitly praised Xu's father.

The prosperity of the country depends on the joint efforts of all the people, and of course leading cadres like Xu's father also make great contributions.

“For a country to develop steadily, it needs a safe and unaffected external environment.

You fought beautifully in North Korea and are heroes to the country."

Both of them are high-ranking officials, so they can't help but talk about state affairs.

To be honest, when Xu's father found out that his daughter had quietly found a boyfriend outside, he found it hard to accept it for a while.

When he learned that the other party was a volunteer soldier, Xu's father felt relieved, but he was worried about Cheng Hao's safety.

The battlefield is dangerous and one could lose one's life if one is not careful. Father Xu doesn't want his daughter to be sad because of someone's death.

When Cheng Hao returned safely, Xu's father's worries were completely put to rest, and he liked this prospective son-in-law more and more. A man who was willing to risk his life for the country without regard for his personal safety was worthy of entrusting his daughter to.

Talking about war, Cheng Hao's eyes dimmed and he sighed softly, "Every victory in a war is achieved at the cost of endless sacrifices. We who survived should cherish the hard-earned peace."

Anyone who has witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield, unless he is a psychopathic murderer or a mentally ill lunatic, will feel resistance.

However, broadly speaking, some wars are inevitable and have their significance.

Just as the Chinese People's Volunteer Army fought a decisive battle with the United Nations forces in Korea despite heavy casualties, it brought about the overall stability and development of the country.

Through fearless sacrifice, we demonstrated our country’s strength to the world and truly established our international status.

"Okay, okay, Yun'er finally came back, so stop talking about these things.

Lunch is almost ready, let's eat and chat." Xu's mother interrupted.

Cheng Hao came here today to discuss marriage. Why talk about so many national affairs? If he goes on, it will take three days and three nights to finish.
