Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 129 It’s settled
Everyone took their seats, and Li Weidong said, "Let me first introduce Comrade Wang Jianguo. Comrade Wang Jianguo, for some reason I won't mention his position. I can only say that he is a battalion-level cadre, and his monthly allowance is about 120 yuan.

Our unit was indeed very busy in the past few years, and he had no elders at home, so he was delayed. He is 31 years old now. I won’t talk about his savings. Comrade Qin Jingru also heard it just now. I will ask her to tell you when the time comes.

What about the house? I haven't allocated one to him yet. Don't worry, I'll allocate one to him when he gets married. I can't say how many more, but three or four houses will be no problem. This is Wang Jianguo's basic situation. You can discuss it with me."

"Chief, based on what you said, is there anything else we need to discuss? We agree. Third brother, quickly express your position to the leader." Qin Shouye said excitedly.

Qin Shouguo quickly stood up and said, "Leader, we agree. Can you tell us when we can hold their wedding?"

Li Weidong was stunned. He didn't expect that they were more anxious than Wang Jianguo.

"You guys set a date, we don't quite understand. By the way, how much is the betrothal gift? We will have it ready when the time comes." Li Weidong said.

"The betrothal gift is just a token of our appreciation. Next Saturday is a good day. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Chief, what do you think? Why don't we do it for them both next Saturday?" Qin Shouye said.

"Okay, that's no problem for us. We can prepare for it during this time, so let's set it for next Saturday.

"Let them go get their marriage certificate this afternoon, and buy some clothes for Comrade Qin Jingru while they're there. We'll have the wedding next Saturday. We'll hold it at your place in the morning and at our workplace in the afternoon," Li Weidong said directly.

"Okay, Chief, it's settled." Qin Shouye said happily.

"Old woman, please kill our chicken quickly and let the leaders and others have lunch here at noon." Qin Shouye said to a middle-aged woman.

"Yes, yes, yes, Jingru's mother, go home and get some things." Qin Jingru's father Qin Shouguo also hurriedly said.

When Qin Jingru's second uncle was about to say something, he was glared at by another middle-aged woman and swallowed his words back.

Li Weidong quickly said politely, "We won't eat here. We'll be back soon. We have things to do at work."

"Chief, that won't do. No matter what you say today, you have to finish lunch before leaving. Otherwise, if others find out, they will say that our family didn't entertain you well enough." Qin Shouye said.

"this…"

"Brother Wang, please persuade your leader. It doesn't take long to have a meal. Let's eat first and then leave. Otherwise, the people in the village will really say something about our family." Qin Jingru held the hand of squad leader Wang and said coquettishly.

"Leader, let's finish our meal before leaving. We are not in a hurry anyway." Squad Leader Wang immediately rebelled and said to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong looked at Squad Leader Wang helplessly, then said to Qin Shouye, "Then I'll trouble the village chief."

"It's not a problem, it's not a problem. I should also thank the chief for introducing us to such a good son-in-law. I should be the one thanking him." Qin Shouye was worthy of being a village chief. He spoke in a pleasant and beautiful way. Then several men started chatting. Only Qin Jingru's second uncle remained silent. Li Weidong didn't care because he was just the kind of person who didn't like to talk.

Qin Jingru went to the kitchen to help cook, and was pulled over by her mother as soon as she entered the kitchen.

"Jingru, what are the conditions for squad leader Wang? Just now, your two aunts and I were standing a little far away and didn't hear clearly. Tell us again." Jingru's mother didn't know if she really didn't hear clearly or was pretending to show off.

"Brother Wang is a battalion-level cadre, which is equivalent to our town mayor. He earns 8000 yuan a month. His leader said he will be given three or four rooms. The most important thing is that Brother Wang has a very good relationship with his leader. He goes to his leader every day to eat and drink for free. He never spends any money and saves it all. Brother Wang said he has saved more than yuan now." Qin Jingru said.

"Mayor? How much? Eight thousand? Oh my God, how can I spend this? And there is still one hundred and twenty yuan every month, which I can't spend it all!" Jingru's mother exclaimed.

Qin Jingru's two aunts also exclaimed. When Qin Shouye told them, he said that a leader introduced a good son-in-law to him, but he didn't say that this son-in-law was so capable and so rich!

Qin Shouye's wife is better off. His family only has two sons and no daughter. He introduced such a good son-in-law to Jingru from the third family. The third family will definitely be grateful to him in the future. If there is anything in the future, the third family will help him out of gratitude.

Qin Shoujia's wife was a little jealous. His daughter Qin Huairu married into the old city and had always been the envy of the villagers. Now Jingru from the third family had found such a good son-in-law, who was powerful and rich and surpassed their family.

"By the way, Jingru, Jianguo is so capable. After you get married, why don't you ask Jianguo if he can find a job for your brothers so that they can also work in Beijing?" Jingru's mother said.

"Then I'll ask Brother Jianguo later. I don't know if it's easy to find. If it's easy, I'll definitely ask Brother Jianguo to arrange for all my younger brothers to work in Sijiu City." Qin Jingru said.

"Oh, okay, you ask first. If it's not easy to handle, we don't have to rush. It seems that Jianguo has a good relationship with their leader. Let's take it slowly and don't be too anxious all of a sudden. It will affect the relationship between Jianguo and the leader." Jingru's mother said happily.

"Mom, I understand." Qin Jingru said.

The two women next to Qin Jingru looked at Jingru's mother with envy. They also wanted their children to move to the city, but they also knew that it was difficult to find a job in the city now. They could only wait until Jingru's mother's children moved to the city, and then slowly ask Jingru about it.

After chatting for a while, they started cooking. It took them about half an hour to finish the meal. Then they brought the food to the table and asked Li Weidong and the others to start eating.

Qin Shouye prepared some wine and was ready to let Li Weidong and the others drink, but Li Weidong refused because he had a mission to complete. The others did not try to persuade him and just continued to eat and chat.

After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Li Weidong said goodbye to the Qin brothers and left.

Li Weidong, squad leader Wang, guard Xiao Zhang, and Qin Jingru, who had a marriage certificate, drove towards Sijiu City.

"Old Wang, when we get back to the unit, I will get you a marriage certificate. Then you can take the marriage certificate and go get the marriage license with Sister Jingru. Then you can take Sister Jingru out for a walk and buy some clothes or something." Li Weidong said.
