"Ali, go and call your dad out. Now that everyone has left, there are no outsiders here." Mr. Zhuo winked, and Jiang Li was about to go in.
Zhuo Yue grabbed him and said, "I'll go." In a short time, Lao Jiangtou was helped out by Zhuo Yue. Jiang Li laughed in his heart. This was also Zhuo Yue. If it were him and Zhuo Yue,
If the eldest brother goes there, he is guaranteed to be kicked out.
Lao Jiangtou took a few sips of wine in a muffled voice and then said, "Ali, what are you doing? Why did you become an officer?"
"In-laws, you don't know yet? Ali has been an officer since he graduated from college. But he was a reserve at that time, and now he is official. As for what he does, to be honest, even I am not qualified to ask, so don't
I asked. Seeing that he is a junior officer, he has done great things and great deeds. When you understand later, you will definitely be proud of him." He is just a lieutenant, but the difference between reserve and official is not even a sentence.
What's the matter? Besides, the No. 2 leader personally promised the lieutenant, but they were too petty. Can a Chinese lieutenant have as much weight as a Loma Star lieutenant? See what Jiang Li can do
tune
With so many second lieutenants, Jiang Li is at least a lieutenant, right? No wonder when he heard that the No. 2 leader wanted to appoint him as a lieutenant, this boy refused. If you wanted to replace me, I wouldn't do it. I really thought he was just a beggar.
ah?
Anyone who sings can become a general, and how come my grandfather can become a general, but why is it so difficult for someone who actually does things to get promoted? Thinking of this, Mr. Zhuo stopped talking and raised his glass.
After a sip of wine, I felt stuffy. I drank too quickly. I choked and coughed twice. Lian Cuiying quickly patted his back twice: "Slow down, slow down, no one is following you."
Rob."[
After three rounds of drinking, those who had dispersed came back one after another. Everyone knew that Lao Jiangtou had a temper and wanted to save face, so everyone stayed away from the limelight first, thinking that the matter would be over.
, and then went back again, but when they came back, they all carried something. Some were carrying wine, some were carrying bacon that they had picked for the New Year last year and were reluctant to finish it all, and some were carrying a few jars of pickles.
It is a common thing native to this village.
Nowadays, there are more children going out to work, and everyone knows that the people in the city are the best. If you give him other things, he may not be happy, but if you give him food from his own home, then everyone will follow
It's like I got a treasure. This is the same as twenty or thirty years ago.
Quite the opposite. In the past, when you were going to be a guest in the city, you had to buy gifts in the city to please the host. Now, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, he gives these most ordinary things, and the treatment he receives is much better than those who give gifts.
It would be better if you pay for electrical appliances.
Now Lao Jiangtou's family is prosperous. His nephew has become the deputy mayor of the township, his son has become an army officer, and he has brought back a group of subordinates. The most terrible thing is that his in-laws are actually deputy ministerial ambassadors. Oh dear, this is amazing.
When the chief comes to our village, he thinks highly of us. Well, we have to give the chief some specialties to try. When we go out from now on, we people in Shuikeng Village will be able to feel proud. Our village has a minister's son-in-law. Can you do it?
The thinking of rural people, especially the thinking of the older generation, is so simple and simple.
Mr. Zhuo was not a rigid person. He happily accepted the gifts and asked Xu Jianguo to write down their names one by one. He said that he also had a lot of good wine stored at home and would deliver it to everyone in two days.
, everyone just smiled and didn't take it seriously. They were just being polite.
If we could accept it, it would give us face. But we never thought that in the afternoon of the next day, a small car drove into Shuikeng Village, and each household gave away two bottles of the one that everyone had only seen the advertisement on TV.
, but I have never seen the real "national wine". Naturally, this happened on the second day.
After dinner, Zhuo Yue wanted to help clean up, but Jiang Li and his mother took her upstairs and muttered something. It took a long time before her face turned red and she looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li didn't notice, but Lian Yunni saw it and poked Wai Li. Wai Li leaned into Jiang Li's ear and said, "Captain, Xiao Yue seems to have something to tell you."
Jiang Li was stunned, what did his mother say to this girl? He pulled Zhuo Yue out of the courtyard: "What's wrong?" There was a burst of cheers from the Firebirds and others behind him, but Jiang Li ignored them.
"No, it's nothing." Zhuo Yue hesitated.
"What must my mother have said? Did she ask when we will get married? When will we have children?" Jiang Li just changed his mind and thought of what his mother said. Ever since he graduated, his mother has been nagging him intentionally every day.
He mumbled something about Ting Ting not having a playmate. It would be great if she had a younger brother or younger sister. At first, Jiang Li thought his mother was trying to persuade his sister-in-law to have a second child, but then he gradually realized that she was actually urging him to have a second child.
Find a wife as soon as possible and have a child as soon as possible.
"Yes." Zhuo Yue lowered his head and nodded slightly and invisibly.
"Then what did you say? What do you mean by Uncle Zhuo?" Jiang Li was also confused. He had never thought that he and Zhuo Yue would start talking about marriage after only knowing each other for more than half a year.
Already? Even if the current social atmosphere is fickle, half a year can be said to be amazing.
"You still call me Uncle Zhuo?!" Zhuo Yue quit.
"Haha, I understand, Cheng, when we return to Ludao, we will go get the certificate." Jiang Li was overjoyed, picked up Zhuo Yue, spun around in circles a few times, and kissed a few more times, "But,
For this matter, you should invite your eldest brother and sister-in-law to come down, I haven’t met your eldest brother-in-law yet."
"My dad can come to your house, why can't you go to the capital?" Zhuo Yue rolled his eyes at Jiang Li, his eyes were so charming that Jiang Li's mind was shaken, and Xiao Jiangli became high-spirited without realizing it.
Zhuo Yue was hugged by him and felt it too
Strange, he stretched out his hand and grasped it, and immediately knew what it was. His face turned red with embarrassment, and he gave Jiang Li a mouthful of water. He broke out of Jiang Li's arms and ran into the courtyard, amidst the boos from Huo Niao and others.
, entered the building and never came down again.
"Ali, when are you leaving this time?" Jiang Li, who took a few deep breaths to calm down, just walked into the courtyard when his sister-in-law asked. The rest of the people were smiling mysteriously.
Look at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was puzzled by this, so he replied smoothly: "I have a mission tomorrow morning, and I have to leave early tomorrow morning."
"Why is the task so urgent? Can't it be postponed for two days?" Lao Jiangtou was a little unhappy.
"The mission is rather urgent. They came with me this time just for a mission. What's wrong, dad?" Jiang Li vaguely felt something, but he wasn't sure.[
"Just now, your Uncle Sangen has been living a good life, and he said that the day after tomorrow will be a good life. According to the customs of our village, your father wants to give you and Xiao Yue half a table of wine, and invite the whole village to get you engaged." Jiang Li
The mother smiled with a look of anticipation, "Can't you wait until the engagement ceremony is over before you leave? Otherwise, it may take several months for you to leave, the day after tomorrow, but it will be the best day of the year.
.”
"Uncle Zhuo...oh, no, dad, mom, what do you mean?" Jiang Li turned to Mr. Zhuo. As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words.
"We, the two of us, are from the countryside. We can come as our in-laws arrange. We have no objection, but it's your time..." Mr. Zhuo and Lian Cuiying were called "Dad, Mom" by Jiang Li.
He was elated and happy. Mr. Zhuo knew what Jiang Li was going to do the next day, so he couldn't help but worry about Jiang Li.
"If it's the day after tomorrow, that's no problem. I can come back in time. I just want Xiao to meet her elder brother. I think Xiao wants to invite her uncle to come down. I wonder if he has time?" Jiang Li calculated.
If there is a banquet party the day after tomorrow, as long as nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be time. But whether Zhuo Yue and his elder brother can come is a matter of course. After all, when working as an errand in the imperial city, one must always be prepared to deal with unexpected situations, so personally
The time freedom is limited.
"Yes, why don't you have time? If someone else is hosting a banquet, he may not have time. You and Xiao Yue are hosting a banquet. Even if you don't have time, you will still have time." Mr. Zhuo made a pun.
"Okay, I'll just listen to you. Just make whatever arrangements you want." Jiang Li said about the so-called engagement or not, but that's what rural areas pay attention to. There's no such thing as an engagement, even if you have received the certificate.
, in the eyes of others, it is still not considered a formal couple. Even if you hold hands, you will be criticized. As long as you have made a decision, it is natural for you to appear intimate in front of others.
"Ali, can you come back in time?" Lao Jiangtou didn't believe it. He was worried that Jiang Li would agree in vain. When the whole village arrived, he, the prospective groom, would be absent. This would be a big mistake for Jiang.
The face of the family.
"Don't worry, uncle, Ali will definitely be able to come back if he says he can. Even if it's the end of the world, he will definitely be able to come back." Jiang Hai had just seen the speed of Jiang Li's fire in the evening, and also knew that Jiang Li's base was far away.
The straight-line distance to Shuikeng Village is at least more than a thousand kilometers. Such a long distance can be reached in ten minutes. Even if you come back from Europe, it will only take an hour or two at most. It is like going from Shuikeng Village
It's the same as the county seat.
"Okay, it'll be great if you can come back. Then, Ah Hai, when you go to the countryside tomorrow, tell Lao Zhangtou and ask him to kill a whole pig and bring it over. There are other things that need to be prepared. I'll leave them to you.
"Lao Jiangtou waved his hand, completely forgetting that he had disagreed life and death just now, and now he became anxious again, and everyone snickered.
"But, oh, cake, etc., we only have one day, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time?" Lao Jiangtou was reassured, but Jiang Hai was not.
"Hey, Ah Hai, you're out of sight now. It's not easy for all the young and old men in the village to do it together?" Uncle Sangen cleared his throat, "But, Ali, there is a saying for uncles, don't know what to do when you are an uncle.
