Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 65 Loading the truck
"Take a look at my craftsmanship. It looks like it's not worse than the Phoenix brand, right?"

"Great, Lao Jiang, you are good at loading trucks."

Zhou Weimin gave Jiang Honggui a thumbs up, and then said to his younger brothers and sisters behind him: "Don't just stand there, try riding it, if there's no problem, I'll take you to smash the steel stamp later."

"Brother, you really have collected a lot of bicycles. Two at a time."

Although Zhou Weibing guessed it, he originally thought that they were just assembling one for Wei Hong, but he didn't expect that he would also have a share. It was really generous of his brother.

"Why, you want to go to the factory on foot? Go and try it out quickly. If the vehicle management office is closed later, you will have to leave the car in the house as a decoration during the New Year."

Zhou Weimin lit a cigarette for himself and urged unhappily.

Zhou Weihong came back to her senses at this time, and immediately cheered in surprise: "Oh, brother, you are so kind to me."

"Wei Hong, you should go and try it with your second brother. You haven't ridden much before, so don't fall."

Zhou Weimin smiled dotingly and gave a warning.

Zhou Weihong pushed the bicycle that was obviously for women and said happily, "Yeah, I'll be careful."

He immediately started testing the bike in the alley, and Zhou Weibing got on his bike in a few steps and followed Wei Hong leisurely.

Jiang Honggui looked at the two happy people and couldn't help but smile and said, "Wei Min, you are so good to your brother and sister."

"I am their only big brother now. If I don't treat them well, who will?"

Zhou Weimin smiled and felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw the two people were happy.

It’s great that the whole family is happy.

"By the way, Wei Min, you and Yan Bugui are from the same courtyard, right?"

At this moment, Jiang Honggui suddenly asked a question.

Zhou Weimin nodded and asked casually, "Yes, Lao Jiang, do you know him?"

Jiang Honggui shook his head, then smiled and asked, "I don't know him, but the matchmaker came to propose marriage to my eldest daughter Jiang Qiuna. Can you tell me, what do you think of Mr. Yan's eldest son, Yan Jiechengren?"

Zhou Weimin organized his words a bit and said truthfully: "Jie Cheng, he is now a temporary worker in our steel mill. He is an okay person and usually listens to Teacher Yan... Oh, that is, Teacher Yan. He is just a little soft-tempered, but there is nothing special about him."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Honggui was furious and started to curse: "Temporary worker? Is this the job you told me you were going to work at the steel mill? Matchmaker Zhang, you actually lied to me like this."

"Ah? Old Jiang, you don't know?"

Now it was Zhou Weimin's turn to be dumbfounded. He didn't expect the matchmaker to be so good at making excuses.

Generally speaking, when people say they have a job in a factory, they are talking about regular workers, which has nothing to do with temporary workers.

So, if he hadn't accidentally revealed it, Jiang Qiuna would have really been tricked into Yan Bugui's house.

After all, when you ask around, you usually just want to know what kind of person he is like and what his family situation is like, and people rarely doubt the authenticity of the job.

What Zhou Weimin didn't know was that such things happened quite frequently in this era, and Jiang Qiuna's situation was still considered good.

What's even more outrageous is that the elder brother or younger brother goes to take the place of the other person, and after everything is agreed upon, they get married and get the certificate, only to find out that it is not the same person.

You're already married, what else can you do? Just live a good life. You can't get divorced.

This is the limitation of the times. Many outrageous things are not uncommon in this era. "No, my Qiu Na is at least a junior high school graduate. Although she is doing odd jobs in the street office now, she can't marry a temporary worker. I will go to matchmaker Zhang to discuss this matter today."

Jiang Honggui didn't care what Zhou Weimin said at all, but just kept talking to himself angrily.

At the last moment, she remembered Zhou Weimin and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Weimin. I was so angry that I didn't hear what you said. Thanks to you, otherwise my Qiu Na would have jumped into the fire pit."

Zhou Weimin waved his hands and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing, but Old Jiang, don't say that I told you about this, or else if Teacher Yan finds out, I won't be able to continue being your neighbor."

He really didn't know that things would be such a coincidence. He asked someone to assemble a bicycle and ended up going to the home of Yan Jiecheng's blind date.

However, Zhou Weimin felt relieved when he thought that Yan Jiecheng's wife in the play was Yu Li.

"Don't worry, I understand this. I used to think that since Teacher Yan is a teacher, his children wouldn't be bad either. Your courtyard has been awarded advanced awards every year, and I thought Qiu Na would definitely not have a hard life there, hey..."

Jiang Honggui sighed. He thought he had found a good match for his daughter, but he didn't expect that his daughter almost married an incompetent man.

Nothing can be good about being a temporary worker. If a man has no ability, he will have to suffer at home. How can life be good at all?

"Old Jiang, don't sigh. We haven't gone to see each other yet. Just ask more when the matchmaker is arguing next time."

Zhou Weimin said a few words to comfort her. It was the first time for him to encounter such a thing and he didn't know how to comfort her.

"Brother, what are you talking about? I think I heard the matchmaker. Director Wang came yesterday, and you asked about it today?"

At this time, Guard Zhou pushed his bicycle over to the two of them, winked at his eldest brother and started teasing him.

Zhou Weihong also said with surprise: "Hey, brother, are you planning to find a sister-in-law before the New Year?"

"No, just chatting. How about trying the car? Is that okay?"

Zhou Weimin smiled and passed the matter over and asked about the bicycle.

"Yeah, it's more comfortable than my classmate's Fei Ge bike. Uncle Jiang is really awesome."

Zhou Weihong nodded immediately and a bright smile broke out on her face.

"I'm glad you like it, Lao Jiang, thank you for your help."

Zhou Weimin took out a big black note and put it in Jiang Honggui's hand. This was the hard work fee that had been agreed upon long ago.

This is considered a small amount. After all, we are acquaintances. In the past, whenever he had any problems with his car, he would come here. This is the price for asking someone to fix a car.

Jiang Honggui took the money and asked with a strange look on his face, "Wei Min, are you planning to find a partner? Didn't you tell me before that you would wait two years before deciding?"

Zhou Weimin knew that the purchasing agent of the steel rolling mill always had a smile on his face towards everyone.

It's not like he hadn't thought about explaining his daughter to him before, but he kept saying that he had to wait a little longer, so he gave up the idea.

After all, Zhou Weimin can wait, but his daughter will be too old if she waits any longer.

Who knew that she would turn around and tell him that she was ready to meet him.

Zhou Weimin explained with a smile, and then continued, "Director Wang has come to urge me to get married. Weibing will go to work in our factory after the New Year, so I thought it was time to find a partner. Otherwise, when Weihong is not at home, there will only be Weibing and I at home, and without anyone to take care of the house, it won't feel like a home."
