Du Weiguo's smile was very beautiful and very pleasing to the eye. It is estimated that if Qin Jingru or Huang Guilan saw this, they would be confused again.
Du Weiguo smiled and said: "Third uncle, you don't need to ask me alone for this matter, I am really free this weekend.
My partner's mother has the weekend off and I can stay with her. In addition, her classmates have also agreed to go to the hospital to see her this weekend.
There must be whispers between their classmates, and it’s not convenient for me to be here. No, I’m worried about not having anything to eat on Sunday!
It's just in time for Xie Cheng's wedding, and it's rare for me to be able to join in the excitement with my neighbors, so I will definitely attend on time!"
I am Cao! I am Cao! The third uncle was confused at that time. There was a black question mark on his forehead. Wasn’t the previous script written like this?
Yan Fugui tried his best to prevent Du Weiguo from refusing to come to his house for dinner alone. He had already prepared a lot of words and phrases, which were basically foolproof. However, Du Weiguo actually said that he would attend a wedding on the weekend, which was really a shame.
, you don’t have martial ethics! Why did you attend the wedding just because you wanted to?
Damn, aren't you an aloof male god? Besides, you've made Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu, and the old deaf lady look like this. They're all like water dogs, and you still attend the wedding together, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?
The third uncle was completely paralyzed and fell into deep self-doubt. He was stunned on the spot and could not say a word.
"Chief Du, let's treat you to dinner alone! The banquet held in the courtyard is not acceptable. It is too vulgar and the hospitality is not good. It is a bit unfair to your status."
It was Yan Jiecheng who reacted first and spoke to smooth things over.
Du Weiguo laughed loudly after hearing this: "Hahaha, please stop making trouble, Jie Cheng, as a person who eats in the factory canteen every day, how can I still dislike the wedding banquet? It can also be steamed buns, stick batter and pickles! Even so!
That’s okay, as long as you have enough to eat. Hahaha!”
"Hey, that's definitely not possible."
Yan Jiecheng blushed, smiled coquettishly, and kept sending signals to his father with his eyes.
Dad, what are you doing? My wedding gift bag is going to fly!
The third uncle came to his senses and was about to speak when Du Weiguo put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray and stood up.
"Third uncle, please wait for me for a moment!"
With that said, Du Weiguo turned around and went to the small warehouse. When he came back, he had a pair of brand new thermos bottles in his hand. He walked up to Yan Jiecheng and handed it to him.
"Xie Cheng, this is my wedding gift to you. It's a small gift, but it's not disrespectful. I wish you will always be together, have a son soon, and live a long life!"
Yan Jiecheng stood up. His mind was foggy. He subconsciously took the thermos bottle and said, "Thank you, Chief Du."
The third uncle was already petrified on the spot.
A pair of thermos flasks, as a wedding gift, was definitely a must-have in 1964. In an ordinary family, this was considered a heavy gift. It cost more than 3 yuan, and it also required industrial stamps.
However, the gap between this and Uncle Suan Si Cao San's expectation is too big. In his vision, if he invited Du Weiguo to his home for a meal alone, he could at least get back a piece of unity! After finishing it, there might even be two
open.
The cost of eating and everything was only 2 yuan, and the net profit was at least 8 yuan, and he could get at least 4 yuan, and the whole family could eat together! It was like Du Weiguo invited their whole family to eat.
After having a good meal, his family can make a net profit of at least 8 yuan.
It's been calculated to the core.
It's a good thing now that I haven't lost a penny. Although the gift of a pair of thermos bottles is not a light one, it doesn't even benefit Yan Fugui at all!
Almost half a month of planning was all in vain.
Du Weiguo saw that the heat was almost done and he didn't want to continue acting with them, so he got up and saw off the guests:
"Third uncle, Jie Cheng, um, I will attend the wedding on Sunday on time. I still have to write some dossier information, so I won't leave you alone."
"Okay, okay, Section Chief Du, you're busy, you're busy!"
The third uncle and Yan Jiecheng stood up and said goodbye quickly, disappearing into the rainy night very lonely.
After Du Weiguo closed the door, he laughed happily. It was so interesting. He wanted to trick me. I went to your house to eat alone. How much money should I pay? 10 yuan or 20 yuan?
You guys are really scheming!
This pair of thermos bottles was part of the home package Du Weiguo sent to the north when he moved. They had been sitting in the warehouse gathering dust. Now is the time to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha.
Du Weiguo thought to himself, Hey, damn, you still want to plot against me. I can understand that your family's conditions are difficult, but this cannot be the reason for you to plot against me. I do have money, but I just won't give it.
You, what can you do to me?
As for attending the wedding banquet, hehe, Du Weiguo never thought about it at all. When the time came, he would ask Wang Yang or Wang Xiao, whoever was on duty that day, to come over in the morning and say there was a case and that would be it.
Who dares to ask more questions?
It's not that Du Weiguo is afraid of being embarrassed by having a meal with the trio. They themselves are dirty, and they are ruined and their reputations are ruined. They are the ones who are shameless. Why is Du Weiguo embarrassed?
The main reason is that I am too lazy to look at these people's faces and don't want to eat with them. Thinking about it makes me very annoyed.
By the way, Lu Rusong's case has already been adjudicated, and it was concluded in less than three weeks. This is the characteristic of this era: quick verdicts, harsh sentencing, and simple and rough procedures.
Lu Rusong's death sentence was suspended for two years. After two years, he will go to the Great Gobi in the northwest or the black land in the northeast. There is a high probability that he will never return.
Wang Sanmei's mother-in-law was found guilty of blackmail for a huge amount and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Wang Sanmei's husband was also convicted of blackmail, and the amount was huge. Although he was disabled, he was physically disabled and was sentenced to the same sentence as a normal person, 10 years in prison.
Beasts like them don't deserve names at all, and Du Weiguo doesn't believe that old, weak, sick and disabled people like them who are accustomed to blood-sucking and scheming can endure the hardships of 10 years in prison. The bitter kiln is basically the end of their lives.
.
A total of 558 yuan of stolen money has been recovered and has been returned to Lu Rusong's parents. The most innocent ones are the two young children. This is the scope of the work of the neighborhood office and the Welfare Department. They will most likely be sent to an orphanage to wait for adoption.
Speaking of this topic, Du Weiguo actually never understood why Yi Zhonghai had such good conditions and longed for a child but never considered adopting one?
Slowly, as he learned more about this era, Du Weiguo also had some ideas.
First of all, it is actually not easy to formally adopt a boy. Even in difficult and particularly shameful families, few give away their boys. This is true in cities and the same in rural areas, and even fewer throw them away.
.
The traditional concept of favoring sons over daughters is only one aspect. What is more important is that if a boy persists in raising a boy until he is 7 years old, he can be counted as work points in the countryside and can barely support himself.
In the commune, when a boy reaches the age of 15, he can be considered as an adult with 10 work points. With 10 work points, he can be considered as a householder and can afford to bear an additional child.
This is what is called giving birth to a boy rather than a girl. When a boy grows up, he can establish a family, carry on the family line, and reproduce offspring. But when a girl grows up, she will eventually have to marry into someone else's family and work for them to earn points and bear children.
The situation in cities is also very different, and the tradition of favoring boys over girls is also very serious. Not to mention that era, even now, there are a lot of such old people.
Back to Yi Zhonghai, it was not easy for him to adopt a boy, but it was not impossible. Especially during the epidemic period, there would always be families who really couldn't survive and were willing to give away their boys.
But adopting a child is not that easy. Once a child is over 5 years old, he is already sensible and remembers things. Such a child is not well-raised at all. He knows that he is not his biological child, and he will have a hard time in his heart throughout his life.
I also don’t dare to have children under 2 years old, because the child has not yet fully grown up, and I am particularly afraid of being born with a disability or dying in infancy.
Therefore, the best adoption target is a healthy boy between the ages of 2 and 5. This is a scarce resource that is hard to come by!
Uncle Yi's family had no relatives, so he was alone, so he had no channels. He secretly visited the orphanage a few times, but he didn't find anyone suitable, so he had to give up.
As for wanting Sha Zhu to provide for him in old age, on the one hand, it is because he has watched Sha Zhu grow up since he was a child, and he knows the basics and has some emotional basis. On the other hand, Sha Zhu has the ability to eat, can support himself and still live well.
Yes, the most important thing is that he is relatively easy to control.
In fact, everyone in the courtyard loves scheming, and Yi Zhonghai has always been the most proficient and good at it. However, Du Weiguo knocked him down as soon as he appeared on the scene, and he has not caused trouble for more than a year.
