Chapter 214 Engagement

A journey, a few conversations.

No one would think that the old man was just trying to gain fame. Those people who really came from the war years always have an irreparable ruin in their hearts. How many comrades died in the war. In today's New China, if they are still alive, they should have

How wonderful. The words that some old men often talk about are: "Don't dare to relax for a moment, don't dare to be complacent for a moment, otherwise you will have no words to face those comrades who sacrificed their lives and blood for the founding of New China in the future."

The old man's words have long been reflected in his 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, giving in in some aspects and conscientiously doing things for the people.

Be practical and tilt the center. No matter what you are criticized for or what you are doing, it is enough to have a clear conscience. It is enough to serve as an official and benefit one party. These eight words are enough.

During this section of the journey, several young commanders listened attentively; during this section of the journey, many people could clearly see that no matter how influential Mr. Pei was, the influence of his words in the military was undoubted and important.

Fortunately, the leaders listened. With nearly a century of experience, every word was a piece of good advice. They listened and listened.

A few days later, at the internal meeting of the State Council, an issue was put on the table. Pei Jianjun put the matter of braving the world's disapproval on the table, and gained recognition from many leaders in the shortest time. In today's country,

, the four basic guarantees of food, clothing, housing and transportation, housing is the top priority, and for ordinary people, housing is an urgent problem that must be solved.

The skyrocketing price of goods means that we don’t wear good clothes or eat good food. We can still afford potatoes and cabbage, right? We can still wear coarse clothes, right? But as for housing, the total area of ​​​​existing housing cannot be doubled compared to decades ago.

After hundreds of times the price, why are ordinary people still allowed to squeeze into a few square meters of room? Macroeconomic control does not treat the symptoms or the root cause. It treats officials based on the policy. There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and there is no cold and decisive approach.

Murderous intent could not solve the problem at all. After the first meeting, a stepped advancement method was formulated. Pei Jianjun became the auxiliary executor and the enemy of real estate developers and a small number of officials all over the world. He moved forward without defeat.

regret.

Of course, no one would think that this matter can be accomplished overnight, just eat a little bit of food, and eradicate the root of the disease step by step. But even with such determination, no one has dared to make it. Under the intricate social system, the root cause of the disease can be eradicated step by step.

Use your whole body, and without many leaders above nodding at the same time, no one can change the current situation on your own.

These are not what Cheng Xiaoyu cares about, and they are not what he can care about. There are many injustices in the world. Complaining will not solve the problem. Do what you can do, and everyone only needs to do a little for others.

If you think about it, the world will be completely different.

For Cheng Xiaoyu, the world began to open its arms to him. He walked with the old man for a while, allowing more eyes to remember him, and letting more people know that he, the fiancé of the little princess of the Pei family, was right.

,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 Mr. Cheng gave the gun to Pei Pei,

It is equivalent to accepting this future daughter-in-law on behalf of the Cheng family.

In front of all the relatives of the Pei family, the engagement ring was worn on each hand, a gun and a pen. Things are valuable and meaningless. They gave each other engagement tokens as old gifts. Even if the engagement was successful, at this moment

No one regarded Cheng Xiaoyu as an outsider. From Jia Ping to Lin Guangnan to Huang Qiang, the old man as a father never blocked the marriage of his children. This good habit has continued. Although Cheng Xiaoyu's grassroots status gave them a certain degree of authority.

Although he was dissatisfied, he would not obstruct her in every way like some families. Now that it was an established fact, he put away his arrogance and showed the close acceptance that relatives should have.

Except for Pei Yuejin's announcement that his daughter was engaged, there was not a single guest at the entire engagement ceremony, which was mixed with Eastern and Western rules. However, some vague rumors were also heard. It is said that the old man of the Pei family was very happy that day and made an exception.

Had a drink or two.

People's words are scary. From the last time the name Cheng Xiaoyu was circulated among the younger generation, to this time it has entered the sight of senior people. There are dozens of descendants of the Pei family. On that occasion, there were only two people who could help the old man walk.

It is understandable that Pei Pei is the little princess of the Pei family. Cheng Xiaoyu, an outsider, can have this honor, which undoubtedly has an important status in the eyes of the old man and Pei Yuejin.

It was a lie that Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care about these things, but it didn't matter how much he cared. After living in the capital for a few days, Cheng Xiaoyu drove Pei Pei back to Xinglong Village. Witnessed by his parents and grandfather, he came to

For a rural-style engagement ceremony, Pei Yuejin and Sheng Meilan also went to Xinglong Village together to formally meet the in-laws.

He had long heard his son say that his future in-law would be the secretary of the provincial party committee of a province. Cheng Laoshi was better off. Cheng's mother Wang Xiumei warned her to endure it, but she still couldn't help but tell her. When Pei Yuejin's car drove into Xinglong

The whole village was in a state of excitement. The village party secretary informed the town party committee secretary and the mayor, and passed them up one by one. Soon people in Meicheng, Shancheng and the province were alarmed, and many people in the province were

Call Sheng Huaiyuan.

"Hehehe, it's just an engagement meeting, no need to make a fuss."

Can you not be shocked? Cheng Xiaoyu has really been recognized by the Pei family. Secretary Pei Yuejin personally visited Cheng Xiaoyu's hometown. What does this mean? It is more than just recognition. The Pei family respects the Cheng family very much.

I will visit you in person.

Zou Jicheng received a call from Cheng Xiaoyu. This call was very important to him. He didn't know what to say to express his gratitude. On the phone, a municipal party committee secretary was speechless. When Pei Yuejin and Cheng Xiaoyu's car entered Xinglong

Not long after arriving in the village, Zou Jicheng's car followed him, and as a representative of his husband's family, he presided over the engagement ceremony.

Zou Jicheng didn't expect that Cheng Xiaoyu valued him so much and used such high standards to give himself a chance to talk to Pei Yuejin. Having a relationship with the Pei family was equivalent to having a relationship with Secretary Sheng. At this time, he felt that he was making the right bet this time.

Well, Cheng Xiaoyu’s future is limitless.

Pei Yuejin briefly greeted Cheng Laoshi and his family, chatted for a few words, and shook hands with Zou Jicheng cordially to express his gratitude. Then, while the entire Cheng family was mobilizing to prepare for the wedding, he and Sheng Meilan were led by Cheng Xiaoyu and Pei Pei.

, walked to the residence of Old Monster Cheng on the hill.

In the courtyard, there is an old Taishi chair. Old monster Cheng is lying on it, holding a pipe in his mouth, squinting and listening to the storytelling on the radio. Chickens and ducks are walking around him, and some chickens and ducks can be seen excreting in the small courtyard.

thing.

"Grandpa, here I come!" Pei Pei's cuteness is overwhelming. Mr. Cheng also likes him very much. He opened his eyes as if he didn't see Pei Yuejin and Sheng Meilan. He smiled and took Pei Pei's hand and let her

Sitting on the small bench next to me.

Here Cheng Xiaoyu moved two small mats for his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The old man’s house did not have serious chairs. Pei Yuejin sat down without caring at all. If someone saw the dignified secretary of the provincial party committee sitting in a small farmyard at this moment,

Mazha, while the master sat grandly on the Taishi chair without getting up at all, which was enough to shock everyone.

"Old sir, I am Pei Pei's father, and this is Pei Pei's mother. I came here to see you and to convey my father's apology for not being able to come in person." Pei Yue stepped forward and made it clear that he was not his father.

The envoy was not the secretary of the provincial party committee, but simply Pei Pei's father.

"Haha, if you feel uncomfortable after eating over there, come to the old man's place for a drink." Old Monster Cheng pointed to the eaves of the house: "A wild duck, a few pieces of dried fish, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, rural areas

Doenjang.”

"I'll definitely come. I heard that the old gentleman smoked and drank a lot, so I brought some old stuff. I hope the old gentleman will accept it."

Sheng Meilan quickly handed over the net bag in her hand, which contained two bottles of special Maotai that Mr. Pei had stored for thirty years and a few special cigarettes.

The old man was not pretentious and nodded: "It's a good thing. I'll kill it in a bottle."

After sitting for a while, Pei Yuejin took his leave temporarily. 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 head of the house, a faint smile appeared on his face.

As a newly promoted mayor with no hope of taking over, it is particularly important to have a good relationship with the current mayor. After working together for more than a year, they are still in harmony. They are all outsiders. He does not want to exchange for a strong mountain city committee member, but according to the current situation

Judging from the trend, it won't be too long before Secretary Zou becomes a member of the Standing Committee of the Shancheng City Party Committee.

Wang Xiumei prepared a gold bracelet and a gift of 100,000 yuan, which made Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes slightly moist. No wonder the family didn't find a new homestead to build a new house in the spring of this year. Their parents' kindness is as high as the sky, and they will never.

They will shout how much I love my children, but they will put these words into practical actions for the rest of their lives.

"Our family is poor and we are farmers, but we don't think there is anything inferior to others. We will use our abilities as much as we can, as long as our son doesn't think we are embarrassing him." These were Cheng Laoshi's original words.

The couple spent more than 10,000 yuan on the bracelet without feeling any pain at all.

With the village elders, Zou Jicheng and a lot of other people as witnesses, the wedding meal was eaten very quickly, and everyone was just saying it. Cheng Laoshi was still worried that his family would not eat well, so Cheng Xiaoyu secretly told him that his grandfather had prepared it above.

, I’ll go to grandpa’s house for dinner later, it’ll be quiet.

After more than half an hour, under the leadership of Zou Jicheng, everyone dispersed together, leaving space and time for the in-laws. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
