When Wu Pinsheng's family of five returned to the courtyard, the time was already more than three o'clock at noon.

Wu Xiuying, who was sitting in the yard knitting sweaters, saw Wu Pinsheng's family walking into the yard from the outside, and immediately greeted with a smile: "Second brother!" Second sister-in-law! Are you back? Regarding Aiyun and her partner, have you talked to each other? ”

Liang Yuefang heard Wu Xiuying ask about her daughter's marriage, and immediately introduced with a smile: "Xiuying! We've all talked to Jun's parents! Although Xiaojun's family couldn't buy Qi three turns, they promised to buy a bicycle for Aiyun and give another fifty yuan as a dowry. ”

Knowing that the man promised to give a bride price of fifty yuan, plus a bicycle, Wu Xiuying nodded with satisfaction and replied, "Second sister-in-law! Now the bride price in our Kyoto City is normally ten or twenty yuan, and the target family of Aiyun is willing to give a bride price of fifty yuan, which shows that their family attaches great importance to our family Aiyun. ”

When Wu Pinsheng heard Wu Xiuying's answer, he thought of the situation when he had just met Chen Xiaojun's parents, and replied knowingly: "Xiuying! Chen Xiaojun's parents, the reason why they attach importance to our family Aiyun should be because of patriotism, after all, Aiyun's work no longer needs to be arranged by their family, and they still go to work in a department store. ”

When Wu Xiuying heard Wu Pinsheng's words, she thought of Wu Aiguo's achievements so far, which made her feel very proud, and said happily: "Second brother! Before Aiguo went to join the army, he knew all day long that he was in trouble, and the eldest brother really had no choice, so he sent him to the army through his connection. ”

"But then again, this army is really a good place to train people, after returning from the army, the personality has changed dramatically, and he will definitely become the most promising person in our old Wu family in the future."

At dinner last night, Wu Pinsheng had heard a lot of things related to Wu Aiguo from his brother and sister, and thought of his nephew, who became a department-level cadre at a young age, which made Wu Pinsheng happy for Wu Aiguo from the bottom of his heart, and replied with a smile: "Xiuying! You're right, patriotism will definitely become the most likely person in our old Wu family. ”

At more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Pingshan asked for leave in advance and returned to the courtyard, and when he saw his younger brothers and sisters sitting in the courtyard chatting, he hurriedly asked Wu Pinsheng: "Second child!" Aiyun's marriage, have you negotiated it with Aiyun's in-laws? ”

Wu Pinsheng, who was chatting, heard Wu Pinsheng ask about his daughter's marriage, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Brother! I have already negotiated Aiyun's marriage with my in-laws, and my in-laws will buy a bicycle for Aiyun, and give a bride price of 50 yuan, after I sum it up with Yuefang, I plan to wait for Aiyun to get married, and bring the bride price money back to Aiyun, after all, we are marrying a daughter, not selling a daughter. ”

When Wu Pingshan learned of Wu Pinsheng's plan, he nodded approvingly, and said to Wu Pinsheng with a smile: "Second child! You husband and wife will discuss this matter, Aiyun will be taken care of by me and your sister in Kyoto City, and you will definitely not be wronged. ”

Wu Pinsheng heard the promise made by Wu Pingshan, and smiled and instructed Wu Aiyun who was sitting on the side: "Aiyun! When you live in Kyoto City in the future, remember to come and see your uncle and aunt. ”

When Wu Aiyun heard his father's advice, he immediately nodded and replied, "Dad! Xiaojun's house is not very far from the uncle's house, and when I have free time on weekends in the future, I will definitely come to visit the uncle and aunt. ”

Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiyun's words, raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said to Wu Pinsheng and his wife with a smile: "Pinsheng! Yuefang! It's not early, let's go! ”

At five o'clock in the evening, Wu Pingshan took Wu Pinsheng's family and took a car to Donghuamen Street, Wu Pingshan pointed to the department store located on the side of the road, and said to Wu Aiyun with a smile: "Aiyun! It's a department store, and if you work there, it's only a 10-minute walk to your brother's unit. ”

Wu Aiyun heard Wu Pingshan's words, looked in the direction of Wu Pingshan's finger, and when she saw the department store on the side of the road, she thought that she would go there to work one day, and her face showed a longing expression.

Not long after, the bus stopped in front of the bus stop, Wu Pingshan led Wu Pinsheng's family, walked down from the bus, and saw several middle-aged people walking towards them.

Wu Pinsheng saw several middle-aged people walking towards them, and immediately greeted each other with a smile: "In-laws! Mother-in-law! You're coming! ”

In order to participate in the dinner in the evening, Chen Zhengming's family had already taken a bus to Donghuamen Street at four o'clock, considering that Wu Pinsheng's eldest brother's house was on the side of Tongluoguxiang, they simply waited for the arrival of Wu Pinsheng's family at the bus station.

Chen Zhengming saw Wu Pinsheng walking down from the bus, and when he heard Wu Pinsheng's words, he immediately greeted Wu Pinsheng with a smile and said, "In-laws!" I guessed you'd get off the bus here, so I'm waiting for you here. ”

Wu Pinsheng heard Chen Zhengming's words, and hurriedly introduced to Chen Zhengming: "In-laws! Let me introduce you, this is my eldest brother Wu Pingshan, and this is my brother-in-law Zhao Guoqi! ”

Wu Pinsheng was introduced here, and then introduced to Wu Pinsheng and Zhao Guoqi: "Big brother! Guoqi! This is Aiyun's future father-in-law Chen Zhengming, this is her mother-in-law Zheng Li, this is Aiyun's object Chen Xiaojun, this is Xiaojun's uncle Chen Zhengguang and second uncle Chen Zhengrong! ”

Wu Pingshan heard Wu Pinsheng's introduction, and after greeting Chen Xiaojun's family warmly, he said to everyone with a smile: "In-laws!" Mother-in-law! Director Chen! It's still a few minutes away from my second child's unit, so let's hurry up! ”

After walking for seven or eight minutes, everyone finally walked to the door of Wu Aiguo's unit, and the soldier in charge of vigilance, seeing a group of people in front of him, immediately walked in front of everyone and asked politely: "Comrade! Who are you looking for? ”

When Wu Pingshan saw the armed soldier in front of him, he first took out his work card from his pocket and politely introduced himself: "Comrade! I'm looking for Wu Aiguo from the Trade Division, I'm his father, Wu Pingshan, and this is my ID. ”

The soldier in charge of standing guard, when he heard Wu Pingshan's self-introduction, immediately remembered what Wu Aiguo told him at noon, stretched out his hand to take the document handed to him by Wu Pingshan, and after confirming Wu Pingshan's identity, he returned the work card in his hand to Wu Pinsheng, and politely introduced: "Director Wu!" At noon, Director Wu once greeted us, please wait a while, I will call the canteen of the Trade Department and ask Director He to come out and lead you in. ”

When Wu Pingshan heard the soldier's answer, he hurriedly thanked: "Comrade! Thank you! ”
