Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Soon, the group of people left the airport and got into the two cars prepared by Cao Zhiqiang.

This time, because we knew there would be a large crowd, in addition to the Citroen CX20 that was almost becoming Cao Zhiqiang’s personal car, there was also a Toyota Hiace van.

This van belongs to the second-generation Toyota Hiace and is in pretty good condition. It was rented through Zhang Qianjin’s connections, and it was still the same Mr. Wan Sanye who rented it.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang also made an appointment with Mr. Wan Sanye on a meeting time and place, and prepared to meet him formally and ask him to buy a batch of imported vans and trucks.

There was no way. Originally, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to buy a batch of domestically produced cars in the name of the publishing house.

But at this time, domestically produced cars are not only of poor quality, but also crucially in short supply. It doesn’t matter a lot, you simply can’t meet the quota.

That's right, domestically produced cars now also require specifications. Without specifications, you can't buy a car.

For example, Jiefang trucks, 212 jeeps and Shanghai sedans are not something you can buy if you have money. They must have indicators.

Without indicators, you can’t buy it no matter how rich you are.

In fact, strictly speaking, let's not talk about the Jiefang Truck and Shanghai Car, but as for the 212 Jeep, if Cao Zhiqiang is willing to find a relationship with Uncle Xu, he should be able to get a batch of quotas.

But frankly speaking, Cao Zhiqiang looks down on the current 212 Jeep.

Because the current 212 Jeep is not the improved version that it was later. It has poor power, slow starting, breaks down at every turn, and it is not a good experience to drive and ride in the car.

Relatively speaking, it is the best way to buy imported cars from Mr. Wan Sanye.

Although Wan San's car source is very suspicious, as long as he can get the car these days, that's enough.

Moreover, in this day and age, only big dealers are needed to detect smuggling, but specific goods are not strictly checked.

It can be said that as long as you have the ability to get a car and can put the license plate on it, then it is legal and can be driven on the road.

The great thing about Wan Sanye's magical power is that he can get imported cars and put them on the plates, which is enough.

But in the end, Cao Zhiqiang made up his mind to meet Wan Sanye to buy a car because he heard that Wan Sanye's imported cars all had formal import approval documents, which showed that he had a deep background and was not a wild car smuggler.

Nowadays, many government agencies come to Wan Sanye to buy cars. Even some imported cars in the police station are bought from him.

In this case, Cao Zhiqiang is still scared.

He is just a car buyer. If anything happens, nothing can happen to him. Moreover, the main body of the car buyer is the publishing house, not him personally, so there is no problem.

Cao Zhiqiang believes that with one million RMB to buy a car, Mr. Wan Sanye will definitely be moved no matter how reserved he is.

But before that, it’s totally fine to rent a van and use it first.

Obviously, the 80% new Citroen CX20 and the 80% new second-generation Toyota Hiace still surprised Wu Zemin, who was exposed to these for the first time.

Although Wu Zemin had heard about Cao Zhiqiang's generosity before coming here, now that he had actual contact with them, especially when he saw these two imported cars, he realized that the gap was not as big as usual.

After a final discussion, two young girls, Qinghong and Xiaozhen, together with Cao Zhiqiang, got into Cao Zhiqiang's Citroen CX20, while the others got into the van behind them.

The car drove to Cao Zhiqiang's courtyard house in Houhai, and then got off the car together.

Yes, Xia Siming didn't mention it, he would definitely go to live in the original courtyard.

But Wu Qinghong's family will definitely live with Qinghong in the house on the Houhai side.

Because the courtyard house on the Houhai side is Cao Zhiqiang’s official residence, at least this is the residence where his registered permanent residence was changed.

Since Wu Qinghong is already Cao Zhiqiang's de facto woman and apparent girlfriend, it is natural that her girlfriend's family will have nothing to say if she lives here.

However, Cao Jiajia and Xia Siming did not get off the car, but remained in the car.

According to Cao Jiajia, she and Xia Siming wanted to go back to live in the old courtyard instead of joining in the fun with Wu Zemin and the others, which would be very troublesome.

Anyway, we have a long way to go, and the two places live not far away, so it won’t be a hindrance to move around in the future.

As for now, it is better for the Wu family to reunite together. It would be inappropriate to have her as an outsider.

Of course, this is just what Cao Jiajia said, and this is not the actual situation.

In fact, the Cao Jiajia of today is no longer the same as the Cao Jiajia of the past.

Because from Cao Jiajia's current perspective, she feels that Wu Qinghong is no longer worthy of Cao Zhiqiang, her younger brother.

The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Jiajia didn't know the specific situation of Cao Zhiqiang in the past, thinking that he was just an ordinary worker with some money.

With such an identity, it would be okay to find someone like Wu Qinghong.

But during the time she came to the capital, through insinuations and various inquiries, Cao Jiajia already had a general idea of ​​Cao Zhiqiang's status and energy.

In addition, it is related to her own interests, so Cao Jiajia actually looks down on Wu Qinghong. She feels that Cao Zhiqiang should find a daughter of a high-ranking cadre, or at least a daughter of a local official in the capital. Only in that way can he be worthy of Cao Zhiqiang and treat Cao Zhiqiang.

Career helps.

But as for Wu Qinghong, she has nothing and relies on Cao Zhiqiang to support her. Moreover, if she goes to college, she will not be able to get married for at least four years.

This made Cao Jiajia not satisfied.

It would be fine if Wu Qinghong and his family come to trouble.

The key is that Wu Qinghong's family really won't cause trouble.

When Cao Jiajia came to the capital, especially after she returned to the old courtyard house, mother and daughter Zhao Meifen and Wu Qinghong never took the initiative to see her.

On the contrary, it was Cao Jiajia who even took the initiative to buy things and came specifically to visit Zhao Meifen and Wu Qinghong.

Although she didn't say it, Cao Jiajia was actually a little dissatisfied with this situation.

Of course, if there is no other goal, although Cao Jiajia is dissatisfied with Wu Qinghong, it will not be so obvious. After all, Cao Zhiqiang likes her.

But the problem is that Cao Jiajia now has a better candidate for his sister-in-law.

This person is none other than Yu Yuanyuan!

Speaking of which, it didn't take long for Yu Yuanyuan and Cao Jiajia to officially meet.

Thinking back to the beginning, after Yu Yuanyuan's formal confession to Cao Zhiqiang failed, she seemed to have completely given up and started to really care about Cao Zhiqiang's family.

For example, the official meeting between Cao Jiajia and Yu Yuanyuan was at the request of Yu Yuanyuan and under the arrangement of Cao Zhiqiang. The meeting place was the Peking Hotel.

Originally, Yu Yuanyuan wanted to meet Wu Qinghong first, but Wu Qinghong had to retire and return to Beijing for some reason, so Yu Yuanyuan met Cao Jiajia first and formally established the relationship between the two families.

Yu Yuanyuan not only met Cao Jiajia, but also met Cao Zhiqiang's two unrelated sisters, Cao Lili and Qiao Simei.

Cao Jiajia is Cao Zhiqiang's biological eldest sister, Yu Yuanyuan is Cao Zhiqiang's god-sister, and Cao Lili and Qiao Simei are Cao Zhiqiang's god-sisters. Such a combination can barely be considered a family.

Because Yu Yuanyuan was pretty and well-spoken, the family meeting was a pleasant one.

Not only Cao Lili and Qiao Simei fell in love with this god-sister who appeared out of thin air, but even Cao Jiajia officially recognized Yu Yuanyuan as her sister. Usually everyone calls each other sister and sister.

However, what Cao Zhiqiang didn't know was that soon after that meeting, Yu Yuanyuan went to visit Cao Jiajia in private.

That visit was just a private meeting between Yu Yuanyuan and Cao Jiajia, during which the two talked a lot.

The two of them not only talked about things related to Cao Zhiqiang, but also talked about their respective situations.

It was at that time that Cao Jiajia learned that Yu Yuanyuan was not only a nurse in the regular People's Hospital, she was also the secretary to the district chief.

According to Yu Yuanyuan, if anything happens in the capital in the future, if you don't want to trouble Cao Zhiqiang, you can go to her directly. Generally speaking, she can still handle small matters.

For example, if Cao Jiajia wants to go to the People's Hospital and become a nurse again, it's all a matter of a word from Yu Yuanyuan's father.

Another example is that Cao Jiajia's husband Xia Siming will remarry Cao Jiajia in the future, and then wants to apply for a household registration in the capital. It is also a matter of Yu Yuanyuan's father's words.

Although Cao Zhiqiang can help with these things, it is still good to have multiple friends and multiple paths.

In particular, Yu Yuanyuan has a warm attitude and speaks nicely. The two of them have a lot in common. Cao Jiajia immediately regarded Yu Yuanyuan as a confidant.

After that, the two kept in touch and gradually became good sisters who talked about everything.

You know, although Cao Jiajia was born in the capital, she has not returned to the capital for more than ten years, and the previous relationship has long since disappeared.

Even though the people in the Old Siheyuan treated her well, due to various reasons, there was a barrier between them, making it difficult for Cao Jiajia to integrate into the environment of the Old Siheyuan.

Therefore, after coming to the capital for so long, Cao Jiajia has actually been very lonely and has never had a real best friend or friend.

The appearance of Yu Yuanyuan just filled this gap.

It can be said that without Cao Zhiqiang knowing it, the relationship between Cao Jiajia and Yu Yuanyuan has developed by leaps and bounds, and the two sides have become good best friends.

It was only after the two became official good sisters that Cao Jiajia gradually learned more about them.

For example, how did Cao Zhiqiang pursue Yu Yuanyuan at the beginning, why Yu Yuanyuan didn't accept her because of fear, and what happened later. In the end, they regretfully did not get together and could only continue to be god-sister and god-brother.

From Yu Yuanyuan's words, Cao Jiajia knew that Cao Zhiqiang had already fallen in love with Yu Yuanyuan before meeting Wu Qinghong and pursued Yu Yuanyuan.

It was just that Yu Yuanyuan was frustrated here, and then she went to Guizhou and fell in love with Wu Qinghong.

It was after hearing these words that Cao Jiajia had an idea, that is, she felt that Wu Qinghong was actually Yu Yuanyuan's replacement.

Because no matter how Cao Jiajia looks at it, she feels that Wu Qinghong and Yu Yuanyuan are very similar in many ways.

For example, they are about the same height, have similar skin, have similar looks, and even have similar personalities, both are a bit shy and introverted.

This is of course Cao Jiajia's overthinking.

But this is normal. After all, when a person likes another person, he will always think about that person subconsciously.

For example, Cao Jiajia, she now finds Yu Yuanyuan very pleasing to her eyes, and then she wants Yu Yuanyuan to become her sister-in-law more and more.

In Cao Jiajia's view, there are many benefits to having Yu Yuanyuan become his sister-in-law.

First of all, Yu Yuanyuan has a registered permanent residence in Beijing, has a technical secondary school education, and has the status of a cadre. At this time, she is considered a highly educated talent.

Secondly, Yu Yuanyuan has a formal job and is a nurse in a hospital.

Third, Yu Yuanyuan's father is the secretary to the district chief, and it is said that he will soon become the director. Even if he is not a high-ranking official, at least he will definitely have considerable power.

Fourth, Yu Yuanyuan is kind-hearted and knows how to care for others. If she is with her brother, she can take good care of her brother.

On the contrary, Cao Jiajia thinks that Wu Qinghong is no good compared to Yu Yuanyuan.

Not to mention people in remote areas, it is not important. The key is that Wu Qinghong's family is not good.

Wu Qinghong's parents were ordinary workers with no power, no status, and certainly no money.

In addition, Wu Qinghong also has a younger brother. If she really marries Cao Zhiqiang in the future, it will be troublesome.

The meaning of this trouble is that Wu Qinghong's family members are always talking about wanting benefits from Cao Zhiqiang in the future, and in disguise they have become her competitors, Cao Jiajia.

The most important thing is Wu Qinghong herself.

Wu Qinghong may not be very good at taking care of others because of her young age. Anyway, in Cao Jiajia's eyes, Cao Zhiqiang has always been taking care of Wu Qinghong, while Wu Qinghong didn't take much care of Cao Zhiqiang.

This is of course not true. After all, when Wu Qinghong lived with Cao Zhiqiang in private, Cao Jiajia was not watching. Of course, she did not know how well Wu Qinghong took care of Cao Zhiqiang in private.

On the contrary, what Cao Jiajia saw was Cao Zhiqiang's various concerns and money spent on Wu Qinghong. Wu Qinghong knew how to enjoy and accept it, and did not feel embarrassed at all.

To put it bluntly, Cao Jiajia was a little jealous of Wu Qinghong.

As Cao Zhiqiang's biological sister, Cao Jiajia only inherited the east wing of her parents' original West Cross Courtyard. As for the other houses in the West Cross Courtyard, although Cao Jiajia was temporarily accommodated in them, the property rights were still Cao Zhiqiang's own.

In other words, although Cao Jiajia owns real estate in the capital, she just inherited the small house from her parents.

But Wu Qinghong lives in this courtyard house by herself, and it is said that once Qinghong graduates from university, Cao Zhiqiang will give that courtyard house to her.

This kind of treatment is simply worlds apart.

Cao Jiajia didn't think much about it before, but now with such a comparison, it's strange that she likes Wu Qinghong.

Yu Yuanyuan is different.

Yu Yuanyuan now has a particularly good relationship with Cao Jiajia, and they often communicate with each other. Yu Yuanyuan even often helps Cao Jiajia pick up and drop off her children. Yu Yuanyuan often helps with their homework.

It can be said that since meeting Yu Yuanyuan, Cao Jiajia has worry less about housework, thanks to Yu Yuanyuan, a good sister.

In this way, the balance in Cao Jiajia's heart gradually began to favor Yuanyuan.

It is obvious that Yu Yuanyuan is taking the sister route, wanting to deal with Cao Zhiqiang's sister in a roundabout way first, and then go back to confront Cao Zhiqiang head-on.

It's just that Yu Yuanyuan's roundabout tactic was so clever, and Yu Yuanyuan's own temperament was so deceptive that no one discovered Yu Yuanyuan's true intention of doing this.

The result is that both Cao Jiajia and Cao Zhiqiang, and even Yu Yuanyuan's sister Yu Fangfang, all think that Yu Yuanyuan is really close to Cao Jiajia, and they are more like sisters than sisters.

In fact, Yu Fangfang was even jealous of this, saying that her biological sister had a better relationship with other people's sisters than she did with her biological sister.

In response, Yu Yuanyuan just smiled and did not explain anything.

Of all the people, Yu Yuanyuan's biological mother is probably the only one who has seen some clues, but even if she really saw through it, she would never say anything.

On the contrary, Yu Yuanyuan's mother Yao Guiying is very happy to see Yuanyuan's enlightenment behavior.

Because Yao Guiying now has a good impression of Cao Zhiqiang, and feels that he is the best candidate to be his son-in-law, no matter what.

In short, under Yu Yuanyuan's subtle influence, Cao Jiajia gradually felt that if Yu Yuanyuan and her brother became a family, it would be the best choice for both her brother and herself.

On the contrary, Wu Qinghong, depending on how her family behaves, if she really becomes a family with Cao Zhiqiang, she will probably become farther and farther away from her Cao Jiajia family.

Prejudice is formed bit by bit in this way, and Cao Jiajia is no exception.

Anyway, the Cao Jiajia now is no longer the Cao Jiajia who was particularly enthusiastic about Wu Qinghong and Zhao Meifen.

On the contrary, Cao Jiajia now only wants to bring Cao Zhiqiang and Yu Yuanyuan together, but she dislikes Wu Qinghong in various ways.

The current behavior of not getting out of the car when arriving at someone's house, but insisting on staying in the car and insisting on taking Xia Siming home first, is a concrete manifestation of Cao Jiajia's thinking.

"Okay, sister." Cao Zhiqiang, who knew nothing about this, didn't think it was a big deal. Instead, he thought Cao Jiajia's approach was very good.

Because Cao Zhiqiang didn't want his eldest sister to come over and join in the fun.

After all, in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, Wu Qinghong's parents are almost like his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It would be really embarrassing if the eldest sister Cao Jiajia gets involved at this time.

"Then you go back and rest early." Cao Zhiqiang said to Cao Jiajia, "Have a good chat with your brother-in-law, and I'll come find you later."

"Okay." Cao Jiajia smiled and nodded, "Then you entertain them well, let's go first."

Having said this, Cao Jiajia asked the driver to drive.

After Cao Jiajia and Xia Siming left in the car, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and returned to the courtyard to face Wu Zemin, the most difficult guy.

Cao Zhiqiang knew in his heart that only by solving Wu Zemin's problem would things between him and Wu Qinghong be smooth.

Otherwise, if Wu Zemin always disagrees, then even if the matter between him and Wu Qinghong succeeds, he is bound to have regrets.

Although Wu Zemin is difficult to deal with, Cao Zhiqiang is confident that he can deal with him.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang is very aware of Wu Zemin's weakness, which is his desire to return to Shanghai.

As long as Wu Zemin's job transfer problem can be solved and Wu Zemin realizes that Qinghong will have a good life with him.

Then Cao Zhiqiang believes that Wu Zemin will definitely accept him.

It wasn't Cao Zhiqiang who blew it.

So far, I'm afraid Wu Zemin can't find a better candidate for his future son-in-law than Cao Zhiqiang.

Not to mention, Wu Qinghong is already Cao Zhiqiang's man. At this time, it is his Wu family who will suffer the loss.

So, as long as you have a better attitude and give Wu Zemin a little more guarantee, will it be difficult to deal with this future father-in-law?

Alas, so the so-called difficult father-in-law is just because you are not strong enough.

If you are strong enough, it won't be difficult to defeat your father-in-law. Just go straight to A and it will be fine.

This is called real strength crushing!
