The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 320 Three options!!
It was scorching hot in the city in October.

The whole city was hot from the scorching sun, which had been working diligently for a whole summer and was still hot.

As the heat wave hit, the sunlight shone through the wilted leaves, casting green shadows on the red brick floor in the yard.

In the Daqianmen Tavern,
Xu Huizhen yawned as she prepared rice noodles, pickled vegetable shreds and fennel beans at the counter for the tavern in the evening.

It was not yet office hours in the tavern, and there were only her and the accountant Sister Zhao in the tavern. They worked and chatted at the same time, which was quite pleasant.

"Huizhen, why doesn't Li'er come over?" Sister Zhao asked while fiddling with the abacus beads.

"Her? She's taking a nap." Xu Huizhen didn't know what she remembered and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In the north room of the courtyard behind the tavern.

Zhang Shenfei lay on the bed hugging Xu Jingli and slept soundly until the sunset covered the sky and the afterglow of the setting sun took away the afternoon heat, and then he woke up slowly.

Once you lower your head,

Then he saw Xu Jingli, who had woken up at some point in his arms, looking at him with her round eyes.

"Li'er, you woke up early?" Zhang Shenfei pinched the little girl's face with both hands and pulled it to both sides.

"Well, Li'er woke up. Seeing Uncle Zhang was still sleeping, Li'er kept quiet and played by herself..." Xu Jingli stretched out her chubby little hands, trying to rescue her chubby little cheeks from Zhang Shenfei's big palm-leaf fan-like hands, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't pinch it, it hurts..."

"It hurts? Is it true or fake?" Zhang Shenfei grinned evilly and pinched a little harder.

"hiss!!"

She was just acting like a spoiled child just now, but it really hurts now. Xu Jingli's eyes were filled with mist, and she pouted and said aggrievedly, "Uncle Zhang bullied Li'er, Uncle Zhang is so bad!!!"

Okay, we went too far.

Zhang Shenfei had no choice but to pick up the little girl and coax her with soft words.

At last,
I finally coaxed her into submission at the cost of ten White Rabbit milk candies.

They got up, Zhang Shenfei helped Xu Jingli put on her shoes, and took her hand to the faucet in the yard to wash her face.

At this time, you can see the benefits of living in a private house.
The faucet is always clean no matter what time it is, unlike the pool in the courtyard, which is always filled with rotten vegetable leaves and other things thrown in.

When summer comes, there is always an indescribable strange smell.

The little girl is still young, but she loves to show off. She tilted her face up and let Zhang Shenfei wipe it obediently.

She was still muttering to herself, asking Uncle Zhang not to forget to apply perfume on his face after wiping it.

"My mother bought me this colorful perfume. After I put it on, my little face smells fragrant and becomes even more beautiful." Xu Jingli's face was full of pride.

Seeing Zhang Shenfei, he couldn't help laughing: "Our Li'er is beautiful, whether she puts on perfume or not. She's beautiful because of her foundation!!"

Uncle Zhang is praising me!!! Xu Jingli didn’t think Uncle Zhang was bad at this time.

He bought me White Rabbit candy and praised himself, saying he is still the good uncle Zhang!!!
After serving Xu Jingli, Zhang Shenfei washed himself.

Just as I finished cleaning up, I saw Xu Huizhen walking in from the Moon Gate with a few lunch boxes in her hands.

"I guessed that you two had woken up, so I packed some food from the tavern..."

As he said this, he placed the lunch boxes on the stone table in the yard.

Although the tavern occupied the back house in front of the courtyard, in order to protect her own and Xu Jingli's privacy, Xu Huizhen locked the small door leading to the courtyard from the tavern, making it impossible to pass through without the key.

Nowadays, there are few women living alone with their children, and everyone understands this and no one says anything about it.

This actually makes things convenient for Zhang Shenfei.

He would come to Xu Huizhen's place every month, and he didn't have to worry about outsiders intruding and discovering his involvement with Xu Huizhen and her daughter.

It's hot,
Xu Huizhen poured Zhang Shenfei a glass of cold beer, while she and Xu Jingli each had a bottle of Arctic Ocean, which had also been chilled with well water.

Thanks to his Uncle Zhang, he was able to drink soda, which he could never drink normally.

Xu Jingli took a big gulp from the glass bottle, then burped and exhaled like an adult after drinking beer:

"Ah! So comfortable! It turns out that I still need to drink soda to relieve fatigue when it's hot."

Zhang Shenfei couldn't help but laugh when he saw her pretending to be mature.

"This little girl...what did I ask you to do? And you're still so tired." Xu Huizhen scolded.

Xu Jingli acted like a little adult: "Mom, you help out in the tavern in front, I am also very tired accompanying Uncle Zhang in the back..."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Shenfei, as if he wanted him to confirm his words.

Zhang Shenfei smiled again: "Ah, yes, yes. As the host, Li'er treated me very well as a guest."

Xu Jingli looked at Xu Huizhen proudly, with an expression that said, "See, Uncle Zhang said so."

Seeing this, Zhang Shenfei and Xu Huizhen laughed again.

Seeing them both laughing, Xu Jingli couldn't help but laugh too. I don't know why, but every time I see Uncle Zhang I feel very happy!!!

……

After dinner,

Zhang Shenfei went out of Chen Xueru's yard again, staggered out of Yunju Hutong, and prepared to stop a tricycle to return to the transportation company.

As soon as I reached out,

Then a car squeaked and stopped beside him.

"Brother Zhang, what a coincidence. Where are you going?"

Is it Cai Quanwu???

It was also a coincidence that Zhang Shenfei looked at him with a smile: "I have to go to the transportation company. My classmates and I have agreed to meet there and go back to school together in the evening."

"Get on, I'll take you there." Cai Quanwu was in a good mood riding his newly bought tricycle.

"Will it delay your work? Don't miss your work."

"Look at what you said. We are all brothers. Why are you saying this?" Cai Quanwu turned his head and reminded Zhang Shenfei to sit down. Then he released the brake and stepped on it hard. "Besides, I have something to ask you."

"Then I won't be polite." Zhang Shenfei said politely, but he had already sat on the tricycle.

Who wouldn't take a free ride?
The tricycle drove out smoothly, and Zhang Shenfei asked Cai Quanwu how he felt after buying the new car.

"Thanks to you, I have been very motivated since I bought this tricycle...

I don’t have any other ideas right now. I just want to make more money to buy a house and then get married…

To be honest, I have already talked to Wang the matchmaker from Heizhima Hutong a few days ago and asked her to help me talk to Xiaoliu's mother-in-law again..."

Perhaps it was because Xu Huizhen was not a widow this time, so she no longer had to suppress Cai Quanwu, who had the blood of the old He family.

So although Cai Quanwu had previously taken a fancy to Xu Huizhen,

But after being rejected for the first time, he did not pester her, but turned around and fell in love with Xiao Liu, a young widow whose husband had died in Heizhima Hutong. He was always attentive to her, and he never hid it from her, which even caused dissatisfaction from the young widow's mother-in-law.

These things are known to everyone in the Siheyuan.

Because of this incident, Xu Damao would make fun of Sha Zhu from time to time, saying that his father had run away with a widow back then, and now his cousin had set his eyes on the widow again.

"The He family has run into a nest of widows. It is their destiny to marry a widow!!!

Silly Zhu, why don't you find a widow? You always pester Qin Huairu, this is not in line with the family rules of your He family! Are you He Daqing's biological son? "Xu Damao said loudly.

The biggest dilemma in Sha Zhu's life is his father He Daqing who ran away with a widow.

Seeing Xu Damao poking at people's hearts for fun, he immediately swung his sandbag-sized fist without any hesitation and beat the other person up.

Xu Damao was also very happy after the beating... Of course, everyone in the courtyard was also very happy watching it.

But anyway,
The relationship between Cai Quanwu and Widow Xiao Liu is now smooth sailing. They just need to buy a house and then find a way to convince Widow Liu's mother-in-law so that they can get their marriage certificate.

"To be honest, if Xiao Liu's mother-in-law hadn't been stopping me, I would not have bought a car this time, but would have bought a house first and married Xiao Liu directly. Who doesn't want a wife and children and a warm bed??!!
Xiao Liu's three children are all very smart, good kids, and they all like me very much... I get along well with them.

I have made up my mind. After we get married, I will work hard to earn money by pulling a tricycle and raise these three children."

When talking about his three future adopted children, Cai Quanwu's face was all smiles.

Zhang Shenfei couldn't help but be amazed, this is the power of blood!!!

but,

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Cai Quanwu, you and Widow Liu are in love with each other, why are you still afraid of her mother-in-law?"

After all, she is just a mother-in-law, not my biological mother. Does it matter whether she agrees or not? ? ?
Cai Quanwu sighed: "Isn't it because she's afraid of what the neighbors will say... Xiao Liu's husband died in a work-related accident, and she is now taking over his job at the steel mill.

If we get married and ignore her mother-in-law, won't we be drowned by everyone's spit? ? "

Reputation is very important these days. Besides, if you take up the Song family's workstation, you have to pay...

He has been trying hard to please Xiao Liu's mother-in-law during this period, but that old woman is not an easy person to deal with.

She ate and drank, and directed him to do all the work, but every time he mentioned marriage, the old woman changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book...

"Brother Zhang, why is it so difficult for me to marry Xiao Liu?"

"Difficult, what's so difficult about this?" Zhang Shenfei immediately laughed, "I think this is a very simple thing."

Simple??? Cai Quanwu slammed on the brakes and turned to look at his brother Zhang: "Brother Zhang, please show me the way.

As long as Xiao Liu and I can finally be together, I will definitely remember your kindness. I will repay you in my next life by working like a slave."

"Hey, we're all brothers, why are you saying this?" Zhang Shenfei patted his shoulder, "If you want that old hag to give in, you have to understand what she wants and give her what she wants!!!"

Cater to his preferences??? Cai Quanwu frowned and looked at Zhang Shenfei, his eyes full of confusion.

What could an old widow lack? What did she have that she just needed?
Seeing this, Zhang Shenfei couldn't help but shook his head.

It is said that "the knowledge of a man is halved, and the wisdom of a man is none at all".

Cai Quanwu usually seems quite smart, but why is it that when it comes to this matter, he becomes confused? ? ?

Is this what it means when the authorities are confused? ? ?

He didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly pointed out:

"Just think about it, the widow Song's son died, and she was already in her fifties, almost sixty years old, and she was about to see her body half buried in the ground.

What is she most afraid of? Of course, no one will take care of her in her old age! !
She is now clinging to Widow Liu. She won’t let her remarry because she sees her as her lifeline for her retirement!! She wants to suck her blood to stay alive.”

"so……"

Having said that, Zhang Shenfei paused.

Cai Quanwu asked hurriedly: "So as long as I can solve the problem of the old-age care of Widow Song, she will let me marry Xiao Liu?"

Zhang Shenfei crossed his legs and clapped his hands: "That's right."

"But how do I solve it?" Cai Quanwu scratched his head and continued to ask questions.

Zhang Shenfei knew that Cai Quanwu would not leave until the topic was finished, so he simply lit a cigarette and prepared to talk carefully.

"If we want to solve Widow Song's retirement problem, there are three solutions.

The first one is that you promise to give Widow Song pension money every month after you marry Xiao Liu.

We must also ensure that when she is old and paralyzed in bed, we will take care of her and take care of her until the end of her life."

It's easy to give a pension every month, but no one can guarantee that you will take care of your poop and pee when you are paralyzed in bed...

If you want to marry someone, you can make any promises. But what about after you get the person? It all depends on your conscience.

"Widow Song is not a fool, so this plan is the least likely to get her to agree."

"What about the second plan?" Cai Quanwu asked impatiently. Obviously, he also knew that the first plan was unreliable.

"The second option is for you to marry into the Song family and become Widow Song's son!" Zhang Shenfei said.

This plan is actually similar to the first plan. It also supports Widow Song, gives her money every month, and promises to provide for her in her old age.

However, because he married into the Song family and became Widow Song's nominal son, it meant security for Widow Song.

The son and daughter-in-law who have passed the clear path,
If Cai Quanwu and Xiao Liu didn’t support Widow Song, she could go to the street office and sue them!!!

"So if you propose this plan, there's a high chance that Widow Song will agree to you and Xiao Liu being together. Another advantage of this is that you don't even have to buy a house..."

If you marry into the Song family, of course you can live in their current house.

By the way, the Song family’s house is pretty nice, with two big tiled houses!!!
"It's just that," Zhang Shenfei hesitated again when he said this.

"But in this way, I will become a son-in-law." Cai Quanwu said after pondering for a moment.

These days, the title of marrying into the wife's family is not a good one.

His uncle He Daqing was despised not only because he abandoned his own child and ran away with a widow.

Also, after he ran away with the White Widow, he took the child's surname.

Cai Quanwu heard from his third uncle that the White Widow had said that their children were psychologically fragile and were afraid that people would find out that their stepfather did not have the same surname as them, which would easily cause psychological trauma.

Upon hearing this, He Daqing immediately expressed his loyalty and changed his surname to Bai...

Zhang Shenfei didn't know that Cai Quanwu's thoughts were already wandering, so he nodded: "That's right, if there is any way, who can marry into the family???"

Cai Quanwu sighed for a while: "Brother Zhang, what about the third plan?"

I didn’t mention it just now, there are three options in total? ?
"The third plan?" Zhang Shenfei raised a strange smile, "This third plan is not ordinary..."
