Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 193 The in-laws meet
Since Wu Yueqi wants to change his house, the house allocated to him by the factory must be vacated. It is impossible for him to occupy two houses by himself.

After he moves to a new house, the vacant house will definitely be allocated to those workers in the factory who have not yet been allocated housing.

Of course, there is also a small operable point here, that is, because Wu Yueqi is a cadre at the department level, the house he lives in is naturally large, and it has a main room and a side room. A house of this size, Ordinary workers will definitely not be able to get a share and it does not meet the standards.

Just like the house arranged by the district bureau for Xiang Yunduan in Hepingli, the space was relatively large. Liu Hongda used this as an excuse to not allocate the house.

Of course, if you want to separate, there must be a way.

Although ordinary workers do not meet the standards, it is possible to divide the house and divide it between two or even three people.

After all, there are many singles in the factory, so the house can be converted into a double or triple room.

"Comrade Xiang Yunlong has been in the factory for a year. He works hard, studies diligently, and often takes the initiative to work overtime. I think there must be no objection to a comrade with such outstanding performance being given a room!" Wu Yueqi said.

After all, he is the captain of the transportation team, and his recommendation still has some effect on the allocation of houses for the transportation team members.

What's more, the allocation of houses is in charge of the logistics department, and Liu Hongda happens to be in charge of logistics. Since he helped Wu Yue to build relationships today, he naturally started to work towards Wu Yue. Of course, he would not interfere with this kind of thing.

Xiang Yunduan nodded and said nothing more. That was all he could say.

Although what I just said is almost complete, I still need to express myself.

Although this police dog base looks like a grassroots team, it does have a lot of things. Apart from so many police dogs and wolves, many training facilities can be moved and must be moved there, as well as wooden boards for building kennels, etc. The cattle blankets, the basins used by the police dogs to eat and drink, etc., all odds and ends must be moved away.

Moreover, many of the items in the police dog base are of no use if left in the slaughterhouse, so of course they must be taken away.

These days, all kinds of materials are not abundant. Even if it is a brick or a tile, there is no reason to waste it.

After all, he already has a partner. He will get married when he reaches the age, and it will definitely be inconvenient to live in a shared house.

Colleagues from other bases, including Shen Yong, were very happy when they heard that they were moving. After all, the new management center is larger, has better facilities, and looks more formal. Everyone will definitely like it.

He finished his work quickly, he had important things to do after get off work.

"Okay, you two heard the phone call just now. I have to move now. The new base of the management center is ready. The Fang Bureau asked me to move there quickly. The main reason is that the problem of howling wolves needs to be solved quickly. The two of us have to move. If you don't have anything else to do, please come back!" After the discussion was over, Xiang Yunduan stopped talking and said to Liu Hongda and Wu Yueqi.

Under this enthusiastic working atmosphere, coupled with the trucks transferred by Wu Yueqi, the move was very fast. By the time after get off work in the afternoon, the relocation of the entire base had basically been completed.

My parents are coming over today, and my family is going to meet my partner’s family tomorrow, which is considered an engagement, so I have to leave early! "

"Hahaha, don't worry, you will definitely need the wedding candies. Okay, I'm leaving first!"

Shen Yong patted his chest, and then said with a smile: "Director, when are you going to eat your wedding candy? Don't settle the matter quietly then!"

"The main room is a bit big, so it's difficult for one person to live in it. It may need to be converted into a double or triple room. However, the side room next to it is definitely fine for one person to live in!" Liu Hongda said.

After all, Xiang Yunlong is just an apprentice, so it's good to be assigned a room. Although the wing room is a bit small, at least he doesn't have to share it with other workers.

"You keep an eye on it and let the comrades work overtime. Don't worry about anything else and put up the kennel.

"Director Xiang, since the police dog base is going to be moved, I will send a few vehicles over. If you are asked to carry the portable ones on your shoulders, it will not be easy. I don't know when it will be done." Liu Hongda said quickly, this was his performance Opportunity.

Xiang Yunduan said, riding on the three-shoulder bag, ready to pick someone up at the bus station.

"Then I'll trouble Captain Wu. Not to mention, there are quite a lot of things that need to be moved from this base!" Xiang Yunduan did not refuse.

"Don't worry, director, leave this to me, there will be no problem!"

Xiang Yunduan looked at the time and felt that his parents should be arriving soon, so he got ready to get off work. He did have something to do today and it was quite important, so the management center could only leave it to Shen Yong. I don't know about the other deputy director. When will it be available?

Today is Saturday, and I won't be working on the weekend tomorrow, so the time for the two families to meet is tomorrow.

"Brother, this way!"

When Xiang Yunduan arrived at the bus station, his family had already arrived. The whole family was here. Not only his parents were here, but his grandfather was also here. Yunjie and Yunjin naturally didn't need to say much.

"Dad, mother, grandpa, how long have you been here?" Xiang Yunduan greeted.

"It didn't take long, less than half an hour. I started early because I was afraid there would be no car.

The whole family seemed very happy, but Xiang Chuanzong and Liang Honghua seemed a little cautious. After all, it was a big event tomorrow. The key was that the situation of the in-laws was unusual. They were afraid that something would go wrong when they met tomorrow, and they would be looked down upon.

Xiang Yunduan naturally understood his parents' mood very well. After all, he had stayed in the village for half his life and had never seen any big people or people in the world. It was normal to be nervous. He quickly comforted his parents: "Mom, dad, don't worry, just do whatever you want." No matter what, I’ve seen everyone in Xiaoye’s family, there’s nothing weird, it’s just a meal!”

As they were talking, Xiang Yunlong also came over on a bicycle. The bicycle he rode was the same one that Xiang Yunduan rode before.

Tomorrow there will not only be matters about Xiang Yunduan, but also Xiang Yunlong.

That day, after Yan Bugui's introduction, Xiang Yunlong and Yu Li also met. The two sides felt that they could talk. After this period of time, it was considered that Lang Youqing was interested in his concubine. Although he was not old enough to receive the certificate, now In this era, everyone doesn’t care much about getting a certificate.

So Xiang Yunlong and Yu Li decided to get engaged first and then get the certificate later when they are of age.

No, tomorrow morning, the Xiang family will meet with the Tao family first, and then with the Yu family in the afternoon.

Well, the two things were done at the same time, and in everyone's eyes, this was considered a double blessing.

"Let's go take a shower first, get a haircut, and then go to the department store to buy some clothes!" Xiang Yunduan arranged.

When Liang Honghua heard this, she quickly grabbed Xiang Yunduan, mainly because she was afraid of spending money.

But at this time, the old man spoke: "This money has to be spent. We are like this, so we have to clean up. As the old saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Clean up well and let your in-laws take a look tomorrow!"

Liang Honghua naturally understood this. After struggling for a moment, she finally said nothing more.

"set off!"

Xiang Yunduan put his younger brother Yunjie on the fuel tank in front of the motorcycle. His grandfather sat behind him, and his mother and sister Yunjin sat in the three-legged carriage.

As for Dad, Xiang Yunlong was naturally taken with him on a bicycle.

The whole family headed toward the front door. When I arrived at the front door, I found a large bathhouse, and then I finished bathing, scrubbing, massaging, and getting a haircut all at once.

The level of the bath masters in this big bathhouse is really high. Once they are put into one set, they can be said to be transparent inside and out!
After taking a shower, I headed to the Wangfujing Department Store. This place opened in 1955 and was a sensation in the city. Even after three or four years, it is still very lively and packed almost every day.

Even though it's already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, there are still a lot of people. After all, you don't have to go to work tomorrow. Even if you don't buy anything, there are still many people who are willing to come and take a look.

After all, the department store has one very powerful feature, that is, it can purchase goods from all over the country. In the planning era, there was only one department store, and there was no semicolon.

Therefore, in department stores, you can often see things from all over the world. People who like to see new things will of course be willing to visit here often.

"Brother, candy, I want to eat candy!"

The family entered the department store and were immediately mesmerized. There were simply too many things here. My parents had been in the countryside. Where had they seen such a formation?

Even Xiang Yunduan is also very curious, mainly because many products of this era will give him a sense of freshness like looking at antiques.

After shopping for a while, Yun Jin, who had been silent in Xiang Yunduan's arms, suddenly pointed at a counter and shouted.

Even little things are pitiful. There are so many things in the department store and there is a lot to eat, but Yun Jin only knows candy.

"Comrade, give me half a catty of this toffee!" Xiang Yunduan pointed to the White Rabbit toffee on the counter and said, taking out the ticket and money at the same time.

This time the whole family went into the city, and he bought a lot of tickets from others, so naturally he also got candy tickets.

White Rabbit Milk Candy is a product that has just been launched this year. Because it is a product of Guanshengyuan in the magical city, it is only sold in department stores in Sijiu City and not elsewhere.

In fact, domestic toffee has been around for a long time, but it was not called that name originally, but "ABC Mickey Mouse Candy". However, after liberation, the name was abandoned because Mickey Mouse was a foreign image.

"Okay, half a catty of toffee, fifty-two cents!" The salesperson was a middle-aged man. He quickly wrapped the toffee in paper and while talking, he specially took one out and handed it to Yun Jin.

"Oh, Master, your skills are very good. You can catch it right away. It's not bad at all!" Xiang Yunduan said with some surprise as he took the candy.

He was watching. The master just grabbed a handful and put it on the scale. No more, no less, exactly half a catty. This is really amazing.

"This is Master Zhang Binggui, who claims to be able to grasp the candy accurately and settle the accounts with ease!" A saleswoman next to her said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yunduan realized that it was this person. He seemed to remember that when he was a child in his previous life, there were texts about this person, and in later generations, there was a bronze statue of this person at the door of the department store. A certain big man. The title given by the leader, when it comes to department stores, this person is considered an iconic figure.

After leaving the candy counter, the family walked around again, mainly buying clothes.

In this day and age, many people buy fabrics and make their own clothes at home, but there are also ready-made clothes.

Fortunately, it is summer now, so shopping for clothes is much more convenient.

It didn't take long for Xiang Yunduan to put on new clothes for the whole family. After dressing up like this, they looked much more energetic.

After visiting the department store, Xiang Yunduan took his family to Hongbin Building for a meal. When they returned to the courtyard, it was already past nine o'clock.

Fortunately, the house is quite big. In addition to the wing room, he also has a wing room. Xiang Yunjie followed Xiang Yunlong to Beiluogu Lane. Yunjin and his wife lived in the wing room, while their grandfather and grandson stayed in the wing room.

Silent all night.

The next day, everyone got up early. Liang Honghua was busy with breakfast. After eating, Xiang Yunduan took his family out to visit parks, scenic spots and other places. It was almost noon before going to Walk to Qianmen Hotel.

This time when the parents of both parties met, it was not appropriate to go to anyone's home, and there were a lot of people, so we chose a hotel specifically.

This Qianmen Hotel, later called Qianmen Jianguo Hotel, had only been open for two or three years. It was a new place, and it was of a very high standard. Foreign guests were sometimes entertained here.

Xiang Yunduan had already reserved a private room in advance, and it was actually thanks to Lao Taishan's relationship. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to reserve a private room.

However, today's meal must have been invited by him.

When their family arrived, the Tao family had not arrived yet. The main reason was that he was a little early and did not arrive at the appointed time.

"Father, mother, please wait in the private room first, I will go outside to greet you!" Xiang Yunduan said, turned around and went downstairs. After all, he is the prospective son-in-law, so he must greet him.

Just after eleven o'clock, two cars appeared in front of the hotel, a Volga sedan and a Gas Jeep.

Then Xiang Yunduan saw the Tao family getting out of the car.

If a car appeared in other places, it might be a bit conspicuous, but here at Qianmen Hotel, it seemed more ordinary.

"Uncle, aunt!" Xiang Yunduan quickly stepped forward to say hello.

The prospective father-in-law's name is Tao Xingwei. He has met him a few days ago. He thought that a person of this level, especially a middle-aged man, should have a strong aura, but Tao Xingwei gave people a very bookish air, as if he was a university student. Professor, the most important thing is that Tao Xingwei is still handsome. When he was young, he could be called a little girl. No wonder he gave birth to such beautiful daughters as Tao Minzhen and Tao Xiaoye. It seems that they are not all mother-in-laws. of credit.

"Brother Yun, these are my grandparents!"

Tao Xiao also got off the jeep at the back, ran to the car in front, opened the back door, and helped the two old people out.

"Hello grandpa! Hello grandma! My name is Xiang Yunduan, and I am Xiaoye's partner!" Xiang Yunduan said hello quickly.

This was the first time he met Tao Xiaoye's grandparents.

"Okay! Okay! You're welcome, young man!" The silver-haired old lady looked at Xiang Yunduan and said with a smile.

As for Tao Xiaoye's grandfather next to him, he was wearing a pair of sunglasses, holding a cane in his hand, and shouted: "Where is it? Come here, young man, let grandpa take a good look!"

Xiang Yun was confused, and Tao Xiao, who was next to him, came close to his ear and said, "My grandpa's eyes are dying and he can basically lose sight!"

"I see!"

Xiang Yunduan quickly stepped forward, lifted up the old man's arm, and approached to let the old man take a look.

"Dad, Mom, let's go up first. Don't block people in front of the hotel!" Tao Xingwei said.

Afterwards, the group of people, including Tao Minzhen and Tao Xiaomin, all went to the box.
