Chapter 214: Marriage

A journey, a few words.

No one will think that the old man is selling his reputation, that group of people who really came from the war years, there is always an irreparable ruin in their hearts, how many comrades-in-arms died in the war, and how good it would be if they were still alive in New China today. The words that some old men often put on their lips are: "Don't dare to relax for a moment, dare not be complacent for a moment, otherwise you will be speechless in the future to face those comrades-in-arms who shed their blood for the founding of New China." ”

The old man's words have long been reflected in the children, from Pei Jianjun to Pei Yuejin, to Pei Huan and others, after the old man's physical condition improved, he became more and more low-key, and in some respects he should let go, do something practical for the people seriously, and tilt the center, whether it is criticized for making a posture or how, it is enough to have a clear conscience, and it is enough to benefit one party for the first term of office.

During this journey, several young chiefs listened very carefully; This section of the road, many people can see clearly, no matter how influential Old Man Pei is, the influence of his words in the army is undoubted, the important thing is that the leaders have listened to it, nearly a century of experience, every sentence is a golden and jade good words, they can hear it.

A few days later, the internal meeting of the State Council, an issue was placed on the table, Pei Jianjun put the matter on the table that defied the world's condemnation, and in the shortest possible time got a lot of leadership recognition, in the current country, food, clothing, housing and transportation of the four basic guarantees, housing is the top priority, and for the people, housing is already an urgent problem that must be solved.

It's a big deal that if we don't wear good clothes and eat good things, we can still afford potatoes and cabbage, right? Coarse cloth clothes can still be worn, right? But what about living, can't we let the total area of existing housing increase hundreds of times compared with a few decades ago, and let ordinary people squeeze into a room of a few square meters? Macro-control does not treat the symptoms or the root cause, the governance is the official standard, there are policies and countermeasures, and if you don't come up with the cold and fierce killing intent of killing and deciding, you can't solve the problem at all, after the first meeting, it was formulated in a step-by-step way of marching, Pei Jianjun became an auxiliary executor, and became the enemy of real estate developers and a small number of officials in the world, moving forward and defeating without regrets.

Of course, no one will think that this matter can be achieved overnight, to eat a little bit, step by step to eradicate the root of the disease, but even with such determination, no one has dared to go down, under the intertwined social system, the whole body is affected, without the above many leaders nodding at the same time, no one can change the current situation by yourself.

These are not what Cheng Xiaoyu cares about, nor is it something he can care about, there are many injustices in this world, and scratching the hair can't solve the problem, do what you can do, everyone only needs to do a little bit of thinking about others, and the world will be completely different.

And for Cheng Xiaoyu, the world began to open its arms to him, accompanied the old man for a while, let more eyes remember himself, let more people know himself, the fiancé of the little princess of the Pei family, yes, fiancé.

In a small area, in that courtyard, Mr. Pei personally presided over the engagement ceremony of the two children, there were no guests, not even relatives of the Cheng family, in the words of the old man, when Cheng Lao Wei gave the gun to Pei Pei, it was equivalent to accepting this future daughter-in-law on behalf of the Cheng family.

In front of all the Pei family relatives, the engaged diamond ring wears their own hands, a gun and a pen, things are valuable and priceless, and they give each other gifts to each other, even if the marriage is successful, no one regards Cheng Xiaoyu as an outsider at this moment, from Jia Ping to Lin Guangnan to Huang Qiang, the old man as a father has never blocked the marriage of his children, and such a good habit has also continued, although Cheng Xiaoyu's grassroots identity makes them have a certain dissatisfaction, but it will not be as obstructed as some families, Now that it is an established fact, I put away that arrogance and showed the closeness and acceptance that relatives should have.

In addition to Pei Yuejin announcing that his daughter was engaged, there was no guest at the engagement ceremony, which was mixed with the rules of the East and the West, but he vaguely heard some rumors, and it is said that the old man of the Pei family was very happy and made an exception and drank a drink or two.

The words are terrifying, the name Cheng Xiaoyu, from the last time it was circulated among the younger generation, to this time it has entered the sight of high-level people, there are dozens of descendants of the Pei family, and there are only two people who can help the old man walk on that occasion, Pei Pei is the little princess of the Pei family, which is understandable, Cheng Xiaoyu, an outsider, can have this honor, and it undoubtedly has an important position in the eyes of the old man and Pei Yuejin.

After living in the capital for a few days, Cheng Xiaoyu drove Pei Pei back to Xinglong Village, and under the witness of his parents and grandfather, he came to a rural form of marriage ceremony, Pei Yuejin and Sheng Meilan also went to Xinglong Village together to officially meet their parents.

I have long heard my son say that his future in-laws are the secretary of the provincial party committee of a province, Cheng is honestly better, Cheng's mother Wang Xiumei warned herself to endure but still couldn't help but say it, when Pei Yuejin's car drove into Xinglong Village, the whole village was boiling, and the village party secretary notified the secretary of the town party committee and the mayor, and passed it on layer by layer, which soon alarmed Meicheng, Shancheng and people in the province, and many people in the province called Sheng Huaiyuan.

"Hehehe, it's just a family meeting, you don't need to make a fuss."

Can you not be surprised? Cheng Xiaoyu and his people have really been recognized by the Pei family, Secretary Pei Yuejin personally came to Cheng Xiaoyu's hometown to visit, what does this mean, it is not just as simple as recognition, the Pei family respects the Cheng family very much, so they will visit in person.

Zou Jicheng received a call from Cheng Xiaoyu, this call is very important to him, he doesn't know what to say to thank him, the phone is a secretary of the municipal party committee will be speechless, not long after Pei Yuejin and Cheng Xiaoyu's car entered Xinglong Village, Zou Jicheng's car followed in, as a representative of the in-law's family to preside over the marriage ceremony.

Zou Jicheng didn't expect Cheng Xiaoyu to attach so much importance to himself, and used such a high standard to give himself and Pei Yuejin a chance to have a dialogue, and having a relationship with the Pei family is equivalent to having a relationship with Secretary Sheng. At this time, he felt that he had made the right bet this time, and this Cheng Xiaoyu's future was limitless.

Pei Yuejin simply greeted Cheng Laoshi's family, chatted a few words, and shook hands with Zou Jicheng cordially to express his gratitude, and then when the entire Cheng family mobilized to prepare for the meeting, Sheng Meilan and Sheng Meilan, under the leadership of Cheng Xiaoyu and Pei Pei, walked to the residence of Cheng Lao Wei on the hill.

The subordinates of the courtyard, the old Taishi chair, Cheng Laowei was lying in it, holding a cigarette pouch, squinting and listening to the commentary on the radio, the chickens and ducks walked around him, and some chickens and ducks could be seen in the small courtyard.

"Grandpa, I'm here!" Pei Pei's cuteness is killing, and Old Man Cheng also likes each other very much in his heart, he opened his eyes as if he didn't see Pei Yuejin and Sheng Meilan, smiled and took Pei Pei's hand and let her sit on the small bench next to her.

Here Cheng Xiaoyu moved two small Mazha for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the old man's house did not have a serious chair, Pei Yuejin sat down without any care, if the dignified provincial party secretary was seen sitting on a small Mazha in a small farm courtyard at the moment, and the master was sitting on the Taishi chair without the slightest posture, it was enough to shock the four.

"Old gentleman, I am Pei Pei's father, this is Pei Pei's mother, I have come to see you, and I also convey an apology for my father for not being able to come in person." Pei Yuejin showed his identity when he came up, neither his father's envoy nor the identity of the provincial party secretary, but simply Pei Pei's father.

"Hehe, if you don't feel well after eating over there, come to the old man for a drink or two." Cheng Laowei pointed to the eaves: "A wild duck, a few pieces of dried fish, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and rural sauce." ”

"Come by all means. I heard that the old gentleman was still smoking and drinking, and brought some old things, and I hope the old gentleman will accept it. ”

Sheng Meilan hurriedly handed over the net pocket in her hand, which contained two bottles of special Moutai that Mr. Pei had stored for 30 years and a few special cigarettes.

The old man was not hypocritical, and nodded: "Good thing, I will destroy it in a while." ”

Didn't sit for a while, Pei Yuejin temporarily resigned, and when he arrived at the Cheng family below, the mayor of Meicheng also rushed over, as an official representative, when he saw Zou Jicheng here as the main family, he showed a faint smile on his face, as a new mayor, there is no hope of taking over, so it is particularly important to have a good relationship with the incumbent, and it is still a good match for more than a year, all of them belong to outsiders, he doesn't want to exchange for a strong member of the Standing Committee of the Shancheng Municipal Party Committee, but according to the current trend, the time for Secretary Zou to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Shancheng Municipal Party Committee will not be too far away.

Wang Xiumei prepared a gold bracelet and a bride price of 100,000 yuan, which made Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes moisten slightly, no wonder the family did not look for a homestead to build a new house in the spring of this year.

"Our family is poor, we are farmers, but we don't think there is anything inferior, we can use as much ability as we have, as long as our son doesn't think we will embarrass him." This is Cheng Honest's original words, a pair of bracelets is more than 10,000 yuan, and the old couple is not distressed at all.

With the testimony of the elders in the village, Zou Jicheng and a large number of other people, this meal will be eaten quickly, everyone means it, Cheng Honest is still worried that his in-laws' food is not good, Cheng Xiaoyu secretly told him that his grandfather has prepared it on it, and he will go to his grandfather's house to eat in a while, quietly.

More than half an hour later, under the leadership of Zou Jicheng, everyone dispersed together, leaving space and time to both in-laws.
