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

Chapter 440 Urgent marriage!

The family chatted together, and saw that Zhang Shunsui and He Yushui were still sweet even in front of the whole family.

Tang Danniu suddenly remembered something and slapped her thigh, "Oh, Ping An.

Your father and I plan to hold a wedding for Shunsui and Yushui while you are at home."

The new house is the two back rooms in our backyard. They were renovated by your Grandpa Wang a few months ago. They are very beautiful. "

Originally, He Yushui and Zhang Shunsui's wedding date was not so tight, and they planned to wait until Zhang Shunsui's work was settled before getting married.

But the family thought about it and realized that Zhang Ping'an had finally come back, so wouldn't it be better to let him attend his brother's wedding?
As soon as the suggestion was put forward, Zhang Shunsui and his wife and Sha Zhu all agreed.

Sha Zhu even said that the wedding would be more perfect if Ping An was there.

"Marriage is incomplete without the blessing of family members."

Perhaps because of the severance of friendship with He Daqing, Sha Zhu attaches particular importance to family ties.

In fact, Zhang Shenfei discovered that the more people have never received love, the more they desire love.

For example, in the original work,

Sha Zhu's feelings towards Yi Zhonghai and his wife, the deaf old lady, and later towards the several uncles in the courtyard, are essentially because he is too lovable and he hopes to be recognized.

Sha Zhu’s current situation has changed a lot because of the butterfly effect brought about by Zhang Shenfei’s arrival.

No longer draw affection from neighbors like Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady.

However, I still value my family members who I really have feelings for.

As soon as Tang Danniu said this, Shazhu in the kitchen immediately poked his head out and said, "That's right! Ping An, you must stay until Yu Shui and the others' wedding to drink in the wedding wine!!"

Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Don't worry, silly brother, I will definitely participate. We won't leave until we are drunk!!"

"No problem!" Sha Zhu retracted his head. He had to go back because the hairtail was still being frying in the kitchen. If he didn't keep an eye on it, it would get burnt.

Zhang Pingan thought that the topic had ended there, but he didn't expect that Grandma Zhang took a long puff of her pipe and blew out a smoke ring skillfully, then said, "Pingan, you should dress up well when Shunsui gets married.

Yu Shui has many good friends, and they are all very beautiful. If one of them strikes a chord with you, wouldn't your marriage be solved?"

Ah, this...

Zhang Pingan never thought that this matter would happen to him. He was slightly startled and wanted to resist: "Madam, let's not rush my marriage..."

He plans to develop in the army for a long time. If they get married now, the woman will most likely have to stay in the city and the two will have a long-distance marriage.

It's fine if there are no children, but if there are children, the man will have to take care of the child by himself and bear all the responsibilities. This is unfair to the woman."

No matter which era, urging children to get married seems to be the eternal theme of parents. When they heard Zhang Pingan's words, Zhang Shenliang and Tang Danniu frowned immediately.

After the Chinese New Year, Zhang Ping'an will be 23 years old, which is considered an older young person in this era. He is not going to have a blind date this time, and it is not known when he will come back next time.

"The ancients said that one should get married first and then start a career..." Zhang Shenliang rarely spoke.

"Your father is right. When your father was your age, you could already help out with the cooking." Tang Danv also said.

"But my second uncle hasn't been in love with my second aunt at my age." Zhang Pingan retorted.

"Why don't you study hard and just learn this bad thing?" Tang Danv glanced at Zhang Shenfei.

Before, the fourth child ran away from home and said that he learned it from his second uncle. Now the eldest child doesn’t want to get married and says that he learned it from his eldest uncle.

Why doesn't this brother-in-law set a good example, but only a bad one...

Ah, this... Zhang Shenfei touched his nose awkwardly. Why was he the one being blamed again?

"Boss, please don't put the blame on me. I was lucky that I didn't date someone when I was young.

But your second aunt and I were childhood sweethearts and grew up together.

As soon as I mentioned marriage, your second aunt agreed immediately. Do you have the conditions? If not, you should just go on blind dates obediently. "

After saying this, I still have to sigh in my heart. No matter what era, urging people to get married is always a theme.

It’s just that the Zhang family’s swords are too hungry and thirsty.

Zhang Ping'an had just returned home and hadn't even had a bite of food when he was caught and urged to get married.

Sad, lamentable...

Although he sympathized with the other party, Zhang Shenfei couldn't bear to see him putting the blame on himself.

Revenge is a traditional virtue in their family, so he immediately took advantage of the situation.

Sure enough, when the other members of the Zhang family heard his words, they immediately began to criticize Zhang Pingan.

"Why do you compare with your second uncle? Your second uncle started dating at the age of seventeen, and he was dating three girls at the same time!" Tang Danniu was furious and laughed.

Zhang Shenliang helped her and advised her to keep a low profile.

Tian Xiaozao smiled at the side: "Brother, you don't need to involve sister-in-law. Just like Dafei said, he and I grew up together. I know how many girlfriends he has had in the past better than he does."

Zhang Shenfei felt a sweat rising on his back as the topic kept coming back to him. "Well, why are you talking about Ping An? Why are you talking about me? This kid will only be back for a dozen days this time. If I don't seize the opportunity, who knows when he will be able to come back again?"

In one sentence, I finally brought the topic back to the topic.

Tang Danniu started to target her eldest son again.

Tian Xiaozao also agreed: "I'm not asking you to get married right away, meet each other first, and then follow up if you like each other."

"That's right, brother, look how happy Yu Shui and I are. I'm looking forward to getting married every day..." Zhang Shunsui said, and then pulled Tian He Yu Shui's little hand, smiled sweetly, and nodded.

He Yushui also looked at him with a smile. Although she didn't say anything, the sweetness in her dimples could not be hidden.

That’s great! Who can understand the happiness of childhood sweethearts?
Well, with those two adding fuel to the fire, the adults' attack became even more fierce.

Not long after, Zhang Ping, who returned home to visit his relatives, was given a hard target to meet three girls.

Since no one was on his side, Zhang Pingan kept silent and tactfully stopped arguing.

Anyway, I can't control whether I go on a blind date or not, but I have to decide whether to agree or not, right? He thought.

……

The house is busy.
in the kitchen,
Sha Zhu quickly prepared several cold dishes and called out to Liu Lan to bring the food to the table.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this later. Let's eat first. The emperor is the greatest in the world! Liu Lan, serve the dishes!"

At around seven o'clock, Liu Lan announced that dinner was ready, marking the beginning of the Zhang family's reunion dinner.

Serving up on the table are all Sha Zhu’s specialties, including Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Tan cuisine, and a hodgepodge, which can be said to be a collection of the best of each cuisine.

The culmination of all that must be delicious.

In the middle of the table, there were the big meatball dumplings that Shazhu had boasted about.

There was a whole tray of dumplings, each with a round belly like a little doll, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Because there were so many people, two tables were set up, one for the women and the younger children.

The men who could drink sat at the same table with the older children.

The dishes on both tables were the same, and there was no such thing as women not being allowed to sit at the table.

Of course, in some places in this era, women were not allowed to sit at the table. But the women of the Zhang family were all brave and good at fighting. Tang Danniu was the most powerful and good at fighting. Tian Xiaozao had been a pioneer in women's liberation since she was a child. With the two of them around, no one dared to ask them to leave the table.

Zhang Shenfei took out the best special supply Moutai, and Zhang Shenliang also took out all the fine cigarettes he had collected.

The women didn't drink, so Tian Xiaozao brought a bottle of Arctic Ocean from the supply and marketing cooperative, and everyone gathered together happily.

"Hey? Where did this come from?" Zhang Shenfei asked curiously, looking at the bottle of Wuliangye.

He didn't remember bringing this wine.

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "This, this was brought by Xu Damao's grandson."

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are old enemies. Youdao is the person who understands you the most and will always be your enemy.

He could guess with Pi Yanzi that the boy was good at flattering people. He knew that Zhang Ping'an and his family were having a family dinner today and it would be inappropriate for him to come alone, but he was unwilling to be buried.

After much thought, I decided to send a bottle of Wuliangye over specially, so that my presence could be felt even though I was not there.

Zhang Shenfei nodded, obviously understanding Xu Damao's thoughts, but didn't say anything.

Although Xu Damao is just a clerk now, he is quite popular in the unit because he has a very good grasp of the human relationships.

It’s hard to get Grade A liquor tickets these days, so it must have taken Xu Damao a lot of effort to get this bottle of Wuliangye.

At the dinner table, Sha Zhu pulled Zhang Pingan to drink.

You even said with certainty that it was okay for me not to force you to drink because I was your stupid uncle before, but now we are equals, so don't blame me for being too harsh.

"Today, I, Silly Brother, must see how much you can drink!!" At this time, Silly Zhu was already a little drunk, staring with red eyes and stammering.

Zhang Ping'an covered his mouth and laughed secretly. He said that the second son in their family was quite amazing. He single-handedly raised the overall status of their family in the courtyard.

Silly Uncle has now become Silly Brother. If any of his brothers can help them advance one step further in the future, they will be on par with Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, silly brother, I will accompany you to the end today."

But I have to be frank with you, it's very cold in the snowy area where I am, and we have to drink every day to warm ourselves up. This drinking capacity is something I developed a long time ago.

If I make you drunk, don’t say I’m bullying you! ”

After saying that, he sipped half the glass of wine.

Sha Zhu was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, so he immediately followed suit when he saw this.

Then he ate a few mouthfuls of peanuts with a grin, and then said, "I heard that the snowy area is much colder than our city in winter?"

Zhang Ping'an also took a bite of food, swallowed it, and said casually: "That's right, if you pee slowly in that place, the icicles that freeze up can make you stand up."

Hiss!! Is it so exaggerated??? Everyone immediately gasped. Unimaginable, simply unimaginable!!
"What should we do if we are caught? Big brother, how many times have you been caught?" asked Zhang Ximei, the ninth brother, naively.

"So, every time we take a small stick and smash the icicles into pieces." Zhang Pingan touched his ninth brother's head and said with a smile.

"Then let our father get you a steel bar. It's very strong." Lao Shi also said.

"That won't work. In this icy and snowy weather, the steel bars will stick to my hands..."

……

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the family had a great chat.

Sha Zhu took advantage of his drunkenness to announce something: "Our Liu Lan is pregnant, I'm going to be a father!!!"

"Wow, what a great relationship. Yu Shui is getting married, and Sha Zhu is going to be a father. It's a double happiness for your He family." Zhang Shenfei congratulated them.

"Now that you have a child, you should live a good life in the future. Help Liu Lan with housework at home." The He family has no elders, and now the Zhang family and the He family have become one, so Grandma Zhang also gave some advice.

"Well, don't worry, old lady. I understand." Sha Zhu scratched the back of his head and laughed.

But whether he really understood it or not, only he himself knew.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you, Shazhu, have become a father." Zhang Shenfei sighed.

It may be because he has been with Liu Lan after marriage and did not separate from Lou Xiao'e like in the TV series.

After getting married, Sha Zhu gradually distanced himself from Qin Huairu, stopped bringing her leftovers, and stopped getting entangled with her.

Although Zhang Shenfei knew that this guy must still be thinking about Qin Huairu in his heart, but no matter what, on the surface his life was already on track.

Now that I have a child, it will be even more impossible for me to be with Qin Huairu in the future.

However, this is a good change.

After the meal, Zhang Pingan was ready to return to his new home.

Although I already knew from the letters from home that the whole family had moved to the newly built collective building of the steel rolling mill.

He also knew that this collective housing building was very different from the alleys, shantytowns, and courtyards in his imagination.

But when he walked into the dormitory area of ​​the steel factory, Zhang Pingan was still shocked.

This place looks even more grand and majestic than the cadre building that my country built in the 1950s in imitation of the Soviet Union.

The building design is more reasonable, with more windows, and it does not have the crowded and dark feeling of a tube-shaped building.

After entering, each household is reasonably configured.

Although small apartments do not have toilets and kitchens, there are shared facilities on each floor.

It is not like the cadres’ building where you need to make a fire in the corridor to cook.

This will avoid the smoke and odor that are everywhere.

As for the large apartment like the Zhang family's, it was built completely based on the commercial housing of later generations.

There is a separate bathroom and kitchen, as well as a living room which is rare in this era.

Although the Zhang family put a bed in the living room because they have many children, the remaining space is enough to accommodate a dining table and a wooden sofa.

When Zhang Ping'an was in school, there was a kid from a large military compound in his class, and he followed him to the naval compound.

Zhang Ping'an felt that his house was simply a smaller version of those large villas.

Such a house will not be outdated even in fifty years, and it can definitely rock the streets if it is placed in the present.

"Dad, Mom, is this our new house? It's so beautiful!" The young man was shocked.

What’s even more shocking is that I actually have two such houses at home.

At this moment, Zhang Pingan finally had a feeling that if one person succeeded, everyone would benefit.

If it weren’t for my second uncle being a leader in the steel mill and taking the lead in building this batch of collective housing, how could their family live in such a nice house???
Recalling his memory of a family of twelve people squeezed into two rooms and unable to even stretch their legs when sleeping, Zhang Pingan felt that everything before his eyes was like a dream.

Zhang Shenfei was busy with work and only took one day off.

After meeting my little nephew, I plunged into my busy and intense work.

Two days later, he left after the Municipal Party Committee's collective housing working group completed its work.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a familiar beautiful figure standing under the plane tree opposite.
