Of course, Wang Weidong knew that what Brother Chen Jihong said was for him.

At the end of the wine, Chen Jicheng held a wine glass and toasted Wang Weidong: "Weidong, my sister will please you!" ”

Three days later, Chen Jicheng went to Dalian, and the army sent him to a military academy for further study.

Another month later, news came out that Director Shi, who had been the director of the Xiangyang Chemical Plant for five years, was about to be transferred back to the capital as the director.

The five years that the director of the stone factory in the Xiangyang Chemical Plant has been the fastest growing salary and bonus in the Xiangyang Chemical Factory, although everyone also knows that this is mainly due to national reform and foreign trade, but everyone has a good impression of him.

Since the construction of the Xiangyang Chemical Plant, all the leaders have been wearing blue overalls and riding bicycles to work like the workers, huddled together with the workers, eating in the big canteen, and eating together, and there are very few leaders who have received bad reviews.

Li Yufeng finally gave in, ready to accept Chen Jihong, the mute daughter-in-law, when practicing Hexiang Pile Gong in the morning, Wang Haifu struck while the iron was hot, and Chen Jihong's father, Lao Chen, who was his eldest disciple who taught Hexiang Pile Gong, discussed and decided that the two families would sit together and have a meal to settle the marriage.

On the day of dinner, Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong went to the vegetable market early to buy a lot of chicken, duck and fish.

Li Yufeng was a little dissatisfied in her heart, so she complained to Wang Haifu: "Knowing that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will come to eat in the future, Weidong has spent a lot of money." ”

"The day when the advanced father-in-law and mother-in-law came to our house for dinner was also the money spent by Weidong, have you forgotten? He also bought a bottle of bamboo leaf green at that time! Wang Haifu said.

That time, Qu Xiaomei's father drank too much, and the bride price came to an end.

Qu Xiaomei's mood was also very unhappy, when she and Wang were in the first place, Li Yufeng opposed it very strongly, and it lasted for a long time.

But this time Li Yufeng was quickly defeated, what does this mean? This shows that in Li Yufeng's heart, he is worse than Chen Jihong's dumb person!

In the back room, Wang Haifu chatted with Lao Chen, and the two talked about the recent events at the Xiangyang Chemical Plant, such as the performance of the new factory director, and the experience of practicing Hexiang Pile Gong, and then discussed getting two pairs of fishing rods together to go fishing in the river after the spring of next year.

Li Yufeng chatted with Chen Jihong's mother, the two of them were about the same age, and the work they did in the factory was about the same, and they talked about the things in the factory, and they giggled from time to time, and they had a common language.

Today is the day when the parents of both sides meet, but grandma Huang Guiying did not attend, they are all people who have known each other for twenty or thirty years, and the politeness on the scene is directly omitted.

Wang Xianjin and Qu Xiaomei sat in the outhouse waiting for dinner, while listening to the conversation in the inner room, Qu Xiaomei gradually understood why Li Yufeng did not agree to her marriage with Wang Xianjian. If her parents come to this family, Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng can only be polite and perfunctory, and they will definitely not have so much common language.

Chen Jihong was in the kitchen with his hands and feet to kill fish, scales, chickens and feathers, while Wang Weidong began to stew chicken and stir-fry meat, and used his skills in frying, frying, cooking, and frying.

Two hours later, Chen Jihong brought the dishes that Wang Weidong had prepared one after another to the table in the back room.

Lao Chen Tou smelled the fragrance and said: "Weidong's craftsmanship is really not bad, no worse than the master chef in charge of the state-run hotel!" ”

"In the future, our family Ji Hong will be blessed!" Chen Jihong's mother said.

At the dinner table, the seven people were still chatting while eating, and the four old people didn't take the purpose of today's meal to heart at all, and Chen Jihong was embarrassed to raise his head during the whole meal.

Qu Xiaomei was very curious, and even wanted to know how much money Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng would come up with when Wang Weidong got married.

After eating, he put away the dishes and bowls, and Chen Jihong served tea again.

The four old men finally began to talk about their children's marriage.

"Lao Chen, you have a good carpenter job, make a sofa for Weidong and them." Wang Haifu said.

Old Chen nodded and said, "I have already thought of this matter, and I will make a three-door cabinet to store clothes." ”

"We will make the new bedding for the little couple, Weidong's grandmother and the little couple live together, and we will make a new set of bedding for the old lady." Chen Jihong's mother said.

From then on, the woman was going to take out the finished thing.

"I discussed with Weidong's mother, the family bought them a sewing machine, and then a pressure cooker, and they didn't buy the radio, they just produced this, and they would deal with the old one, and give Ji Hong a hundred yuan for the fabric she bought herself, and make it herself in whatever color and style she likes. They spent their own money to buy pots and pans, needles, threads, and brains, and the two of them had also saved some money in the past two years. Wang Haifu said.

Since then, the man has finished talking about what he wants to buy, which can be said to be a little shabby.

Qu Xiaomei turned her head to look at Chen Jihong's parents, and the two old men didn't have any opinions.

Qu Xiaomei's mentality is much better, Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng did not spend much money on Wang Weidong's marriage.

"What a problem with the house!" Old Chen said with emotion.

"yes, the house is a big problem!" Wang Haifu also echoed with emotion.

The allocation of houses is an important benefit for the workers of state-owned enterprises, but even if the Xiangyang Chemical Plant builds 1,000 houses, it is impossible for Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong to have a share, and they are not qualified to divide the houses at all.

In terms of property rights, all houses belong to enterprises or the state, and employees only have the right to use them, and they cannot buy or sell them at all, so Wang Weidong can't buy a house even if he wants to.

Now that Wang Weidong and his grandmother have rented a room, after they get married, they can't let three people live on a kang shop, right? So Wang Weidong wants to rent a new house and rent a big house with two rooms.

"The two old men are retired, they don't have anything to do all day long, they will go out to find a house from tomorrow, the conditions are better, I don't care about money!" Wang Weidong said.

In the evening, Huang Guiying asked Wang Weidong to open the lid of the old wooden box, and she fumbled out four large dark brown glass bottles from the wooden box.

Wang Weidong knew this kind of bottle, which was a medicine bottle of compound licorice tablets, and his grandmother always took this medicine.

"Finally, when you get married, your grandfather and I have saved all the money we have saved for decades. Take them all, buy whatever you need to buy! Huang Guiying said.

"You old dead wife, you have money to deposit in the bank, and you can still have interest, you hide in the bottle to attract bugs!" Wang Weidong said angrily.

Because there was wax on the mouth of the medicine bottle, and it had not been opened for a long time, the cap and the body of the bottle had solidified together, and Chen Jihong took a lot of effort to unscrew the four medicine bottles.

But the medicine bottle was stuffed with money, and it took her two fingers a long time to pull out a few large solidarities.

"What a stupid, don't dig it, I'll go find an axe!" Wang Weidong said.
