Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 169 Reason for the words

The first meal that the Zhang family hosted for their new son-in-law, He Yuanchao, ended quickly because neither of the men drank much.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Min's mother followed the staff at home to clear away the dishes, and then pulled Zhang Min, who was somewhat absent-minded, to the living room.

Seeing that the two men at home were happily drinking water and chatting away, she didn't interrupt, and pulled Zhang Min to sit on the sofa with a smile.

Seeing that everyone in the family was here, Zhang Lide took a sip of water, looked at Zhang Min's mother again, then put down his tea cup and smiled at He Yuanchao: "Yuanchao, since you and Xiao Min have received the certificates, then we are a family. Now, let’s not beat around the bush when it comes to certain things. Your mother and I want to know how you plan to arrange a banquet for the two of you."

Although simple wedding procedures are advocated during this period, when it comes to marriage, shouldn't you first ask who is invited, how the house is being cleaned, who will solemnize the marriage, and other trivial matters?Why did this father-in-law not follow common sense and just bring up the banquet?
Could it be that he was afraid that he would wrong their daughter by simply preparing for it?This is not right either!It's not like Zhang Min's parents didn't know about her situation. If it was because of this, they wouldn't have agreed to the two of them being together at that time, let alone getting the certificate.

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao smiled tentatively at Zhang Lide and said, "Dad, although I have some ideas in my heart, I still want to hear your opinion."

Zhang Lide took a look at his uncle and saw that there was no dissatisfaction on his face, so he said seriously: "Don't think too much about Yuan Chao. Dad has no other intention. He just wants to tell you that you and Xiao Min's banquet should be as good as possible." Keep it simple.”

As soon as the father-in-law finished speaking, He Yuanchao's heart skipped a beat. During this time, he was only thinking about his wife and children having a hot bed, and almost forgot about such an important thing.

But when calculating the time, He Yuanchao was a little confused. According to the lunar calendar, it was not yet fifty-nine years yet?I remember this happened between [-] and [-]!Could it be that I remembered it wrongly?

While He Yuanchao was thinking about what would happen in the next three years, he pretended to be a little confused and said to Zhang Lide: "Dad, our banquet can be simpler, but is there any explanation in this? ?”

After looking at his uncle who was full of thoughts, and then at his daughter who was puzzled, Zhang Lide sighed, and then said solemnly: "There is something wrong with the current direction above. The people in the recent conferences and small meetings are all advocating. Hard work and plain living support the Leap Forward.

This matter raised in May, after several months of discussion and research, it seems that a decision has been made. As cadres of the organization, we must be more cautious at this time! "

Afraid that my uncle would be worried about this matter, as soon as Zhang Lide finished speaking, Zhang Min's mother took over and said with a smile: "Assisting the DPRK, your father is right about this kind of thing. I heard that various courtyards have recently We’ve also started to keep things simple when doing happy events.”

After hearing what Zhang Min's parents said, He Yuanchao glanced at Zhang Min who was drinking water from a tea cup. After seeing her blushing and shaking her head, he smiled and said to Zhang Lide: "Mom, Dad, I understand. "

Seeing that her uncle listened to the advice and knew how to respect her daughter's thoughts, Zhang Min's mother nodded secretly in her heart and then comforted her happily: "Yuan Chao, don't feel sorry or owe Xiao Min anything. You and I will Dad is not a person who values ​​formality. As long as you two can get along harmoniously in the future, that will be better than anything else.

Besides, the first rafter will die first. At this time, we don't want to be a target for others. "

When He Yuanchao saw that his mother-in-law cared about him from the bottom of her heart, he was a little moved. He nodded hurriedly and seriously: "Mom, I remember it, I will definitely pay attention to it."

"Okay, I'm relieved when you say that. The more times like this come, the more you have to pay attention to the impact of aiding Korea. Mom told you that back then, Minister Lin was..."

"Okay, old woman, it's not like Yuan Korea is ignorant of the general situation, so don't talk about those sesame seeds and rotten millet things."

"Why is this so old sesame and rotten millet? This matter was not far away from now. I will tell the aid to the North Korea so that we can learn from the experience."

Zhang Min's mother said a little unhappily as she rolled her eyes and became impatient with the old man who interrupted her.Seeing his old lady staring at him angrily, Zhang Lide didn't pick up the issue. After taking a sip of water, he said to his uncle: "Yuan Korea, the documents for the merger of your steel rolling mills will be released soon. You must be steady at this time." , if there is anything difficult to handle, be sure to tell me or Minister Chen, and don’t affect your future just for the sake of face.”

Originally, Zhang Min's mother wanted to talk when she saw her old man ignoring her, but she gave up her idea when she saw that the old man was chatting with her son-in-law about business.

But you can't affect your uncle's future for a trivial matter. This is a matter of your daughter's lifelong happiness.

Thinking of this, Zhang Min's mother gave her old man a stern look, then turned to complain to Zhang Min about her father's faults.

He Yuanchao was watching the old couple bickering, and suddenly heard Comrade Lao Zhang say something like this. After thinking about it for a while, he humbly asked for advice: "Dad, there are no difficult things for the time being, but there is one thing. I haven't figured it out yet, so please give me some advice."

"Oh, what's the matter? Let me tell you."

As soon as He Yuanchao finished speaking, Zhang Lide asked with interest.

After hearing what his father-in-law said, He Yuanchao didn't have any ink. After organizing his words, he told Xu Wenhe and Li Mei about the rumors about him in detail.

"Yuan Chao, have you ever offended this man named Xu Wenhe?"

Zhang Min's mother, who was paying attention to the conversation between the two men in the family from time to time, after listening to her uncle's words, hurriedly turned to look at He Yuanchao and asked without waiting for her old man to speak.

"Mom, just because I haven't offended him, I can't figure out why he targeted me."

As soon as my uncle finished speaking, Zhang Min's mother was also a little puzzled. She frowned and muttered: "Why is he causing trouble for our family?"

After talking about it, Zhang Min's mother looked at her old man. Although she couldn't understand it, there were people in the family who were good at this kind of intrigue!

Seeing his family members looking at him curiously, Zhang Lide smiled contentedly, and then confidently said to his uncle: "To aid Korea, first you have to consider what benefits he will bring to him by doing this. After all, if there are no benefits, , no one will offend others carelessly."

After hearing what his father-in-law said, He Yuanchao carefully sorted out the things that happened between him and Xu Wenhe, and then shook his head firmly.

Zhang Lide was not surprised at all when he saw his uncle. If the matter was so simple, his uncle wouldn't be able to trouble him.

"Then, you have to consider whether you are blocking someone else's future, or someone close to you is hindering someone else. Is it possible that he can use you to attack someone close to you?"

Facing his father-in-law's questioning again, He Yuanchao had to go through the close relationship with him again in his mind.

Seeing his uncle looking thoughtful, Zhang Lide didn't say anything. He picked up the tea cup and drank water with a smile while waiting for He Yuanchao to finish thinking.
