Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

It was already early morning.

The morning sun hung low on the rows of towers, and its pale golden light spread all over the capital, coating the wedding procession with a pale golden brilliance and making the onlookers stare blankly.

"My darling, with such a big battle, which family is getting married?"

"In the courtyard of the steel rolling mill, who else but Wang Weidong can host such a big scene!"

"Wang Weidong? Is that the young man who became the deputy director of the factory at a young age?"

"Who else but him? I heard that this time he went to Hong Kong City and earned a lot of foreign exchange."

"Tsk tsk..."

Amid the admiration, Wang Weidong parked his motorcycle, but Ding Qiunan did not get off immediately.

Instead, he waited for Wang Weidong to get off the motorcycle and then hugged her off the motorcycle in a princess hug.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Wang Weidong feels that Ding Qiunan seems to be heavier than before after becoming pregnant.

Without thinking much, he stepped on the smokey firecracker paper and carried Ding Qiunan into the house.

Then the wedding was held under the auspices of Liu Feng.

The whole process is not complicated. After all, Wang Weidong's parents are not here, so many things can be omitted.

I just toasted a cup of tea to Director Yang and his wife, who were present as Wang Weidong's adoptive father and mother.

Considering the status of the two of them, Wang Weidong is not wronged.

In addition, Director Yang has been very supportive of Wang Weidong since he entered the steel rolling mill. Director Yang helped Wang Weidong clean up the previous incident involving Lou Xiao'e. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a mountain of kindness.

Wang Weidong, who was kowtowing, felt at ease.

Yang Zhenhua and Mrs. Yang were also very happy. They had no children, and suddenly they had an adopted son. They couldn't be more happy.

After Wang Weidong and Ding Qiunan served tea, they gave them thick red envelopes.

Mrs. Yang even pulled Ding Qiunan to talk about her family affairs.

After the whole set of procedures was completed, it was time to eat.

Nanyi, Mrs. Niu and Niu Aihua had already prepared the dishes. As soon as they heard the dishes were served, they immediately brought them out.

When it comes to Nan Yi's craftsmanship, there is really nothing to say.

I don’t know if it tastes good or not, but the way it looks, it’s not an exaggeration to give a tire factory three stars in future generations.

Wang Weidong also spent a lot of money this time and prepared ten dishes, almost all of which were meat.

The name of the dish is also very nice.

{Long Luck} Fried Noodles

{Together we sing the dawn of spring}, mandarin ducks and chickens

{Dragon congratulations}, boiled shrimp

{The ground is covered with gold}, pineapple and stir-fried bones

{Everyone grows old}, pork belly with ginkgo soup

{Scallops gather together}, steamed scallops

{Shenyuluoyanmei}, water fish and chicken soup

{Elegance and elegance}, steamed flower branches

{Golden waist pregnant prince}, diced cashew nuts

{Fly together}, steaming white pigeons

If he wasn't afraid of bringing too much to attract attention, Wang Weidong would even like to put a roast suckling pig on every table.

But right now, these dishes are so enviable.

Normally, everyone wouldn't be able to eat meat a few times a month, but now it's all meat.

It is estimated that there are few people in the entire capital who can marry more arrogantly than Wang Weidong.

But there is no way, people just have money.

Wang Weidong's ability to earn foreign exchange is really something I can't envy.

This time for the banquet, Wang Weidong only invited Yan Bugui's family, and Lao Li Tou and his wife. By the way, Yu Qiuhua was also invited.

Yu Qiuhua didn't want to come because she felt sorry for Wang Weidong. In the end, Mrs. Yang and Director Wang personally took action to pull her over.

Except for them, no one else in the yard, including Wang Weidong, called.

But these people still ran to the outside of the yard to watch. The aroma of the food was really too tempting.

But they could only watch helplessly, and Wang Weidong had no intention of inviting them to the table.

The three Banggeng siblings even climbed under the table in an attempt to steal something to eat.

But after being picked up by Slender Monkey, he threw it directly to Qin Jingru and gave him a vicious warning.

BangGeng is still not convinced and wants to use foul language.

Why can everyone else eat it but not them?

As a result, Director Yang glanced at her, and Qin Jingru was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth.

During the salute just now, Qin Huairu also went to watch.

They knew Yang Zhenhua was a big shot they couldn't afford to offend.

If she made him angry, Qin Huairu would definitely deal with her when he came back.

This girl from the country is quite strong. No matter how hard Bangge struggles, he can't break free from her hand.

If a neighbor hadn't noticed that Banggeng had rolled his eyes and hurriedly told Qin Jingru to let go, Banggeng might have just passed on.

After the food and wine were served, Wang Weidong took Ding Qiunan and a group of brothers to toast.

The first person to go was naturally Yang Zhenhua's table. Not to mention that he was now Wang Weidong's adoptive father, just because he was a superior leader, he had to be at the top of the queue.

The people at this table are also the leaders of the steel rolling mill.

Because many people have to go to work in the afternoon, they can only have tea instead of wine.

After Wang Weidong said a few words, he didn't hesitate and drank two cups of Maotai.

He successfully aroused these people's alcohol addiction and made these leaders' eyes wide open.

It's a pity that it's a rule not to drink alcohol during work. Being able to come over for this meal is already a way for them to give Wang Weidong face.

How dare you violate the rules?

After paying respects to the leader, we went to the table of relatives of the Ding family.

Ding Boren also came over at the right time and introduced Wang Weidong one by one.

Ding Boren himself has two brothers and three sisters, all of whom are educated people and are now well-established.

But compared with Wang Weidong, it's still a lot worse.

There was no bloody incident during the toasting process.

After paying respects to relatives, they become brothers and friends.

Nan Yi and Li Aiguo joined forces to get Wang Weidong drunk.

As a result, he was suppressed by Ding Qiunan.

When defending Wang Weidong, Ding Qiunan was not generally domineering.

Nan Yi, who bore the brunt of the attack, was beaten back by Ding Qiunan with just one word.

"Nanyi, do you still want me to introduce you to someone?"

Hearing this, Nan Yi was immediately frightened.

He is not young at all and looks forward to marrying a wife every day.

But he doesn't like people with average conditions, and always wants to find someone knowledgeable and reasonable. Don't he have to wait for Ding Qiunan to introduce him?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nan Yi, who was the most cheerful, was beaten back, and the rest did not dare to make any more noise.

In the end, Wang Weidong stood up and drank three glasses of wine to his brothers and friends.

After walking down the road, Wang Weidong looked a little drunk.

Fortunately, he has a good drinking capacity, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground after drinking so much.

After one o'clock, the guests gradually dispersed, and there were still many people who had to go to work in the afternoon.

Only Mrs. Niu and those who don't have to work are left to help clean up the mess.

Most of the leftovers were given to the guests. According to current rules, in addition to towels and fruit red envelopes, you must bring some leftovers as gifts in return.

In an era of food shortage, no one would dislike this.

Even the half bottle of Moutai that was left was taken away by Yu Changsheng, saying that he wanted to take it back for his old man to have a taste.

Wang Weidong and Ding Qiunan helped clear the table after seeing off the guests.

Then he hid in the room, locked the door, and began to count out today's harvest.

There were twelve tables set up for today's wedding banquet, and each one was full of people.

These guests don't come empty-handed, they either pack red envelopes or buy practical gifts directly.

"Ah, this is a cashmere quilt. It's too expensive. Wei Dong, look who gave it to you."

Wang Weidong heard this and quickly picked up the list and checked it.

After flipping through two pages, I finally found the person who sent the quilt.

"This is a gift from Father Yang."

"Director Yang? But hasn't he already given a red envelope?" Ding Qiunan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Quickly look through his red envelope and see how much he has packed!" Ding Qiunan urged.

Wang Weidong nodded when he heard this and took out the red envelope with Yang Zhenhua's name on it from the pile of red envelopes.

When he opened it, Wang Weidong fell silent for a moment.

Seeing his appearance, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but push him and asked, "Why don't you say anything? How much did Father Yang pack?"

"One hundred and eighty-eight."

"What?"

Ding Qiunan's eyes widened instantly. Nowadays, his salary is transparent.

Yang Zhenhua's current monthly income is about 100 yuan.

Unexpectedly, he actually guaranteed one and a half months' salary for the two of them.

It would be a lie to say that the two of them were not moved.

"Weidong, dad has paid so much money, do we want to pay it back?" Ding Qiunan asked worriedly.

Wang Weidong shook his head.

When he first saw the amount in the red envelope, he was shocked, but he thought about it in an instant.

"Dad really treats us as his own children. We just need to be more filial to him from now on."

Even if there are enough children in the future, such as ten or eight, it is not impossible for one of them to change his surname to Yang.

If others treat him with sincerity, Wang Weidong will naturally repay him with sincerity.

Only sincerity can bring you sincerity.

No matter what the surname is, the child is still his child, and this will never change.

Ding Qiunan nodded after listening to Wang Weidong's words.

Everyone considers Yang Zhenhua their godfather, and it is natural to be filial to him.

Then the two of them began to think about the things the guests had sent.

It’s really diverse and has everything.

For example, Niu Zhijun even gave Wang Weidong a clock from Shanghai, a mechanically wound one.

The watch case is made of old-style wood, and the wooden case is painted with dark red lacquer.

The dial of the clock was silver-white, and a pendulum with a steel tone hung below it, and the pendulum moved click-click.

Although this thing is durable, the longer it is used, the greater the time difference.

Someone also gave me a mirror screen.

This kind of mirror that can stand on the table is very fashionable in this era, but in Wang Weidong's opinion, it is useless.

After all, he really couldn't appreciate the bright red word "happiness" on it and the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

But after all, it is someone's best intention, so naturally it cannot be thrown away directly.

Just put it aside.

When Qin Huairu's room is bought and used as a utility room one day, this thing can be hung over it.

Except for clocks and mirror screens, most of the gifts given by others are highly practical things.

For example, there are three or four stainless steel basins and two spittoons.

They also provide fabrics.

This is why Wang Weidong said not to send furniture and electrical appliances, otherwise these things may fill the whole house.

After all, Wang Weidong's brothers and friends, as well as relatives of the Ding family, are not bad in terms of living conditions, and they all have work units.

After sorting for a long time, I finally sorted out all the gifts.

Except for those that can be used now, Wang Weidong has put everything else in a corner.

The originally wide space shrank a lot in an instant.

After washing their hands, Wang Weidong and Ding Qiunan entered their favorite part - counting red envelopes.

Ding Qiunan is responsible for counting, and Wang Weidong is responsible for accounting.

These are all favors, and you will have to pay them back when you get married.

Those who are exempted from gift money in future generations are making a bad start. If you have good conditions, you can be exempted from gifts.

But for those with bad conditions, should I accept them when I invite you?

Marriage is inherently expensive. Take today's banquet as an example. Not counting Nan Yi's wages, each table cost a full twenty-three yuan.

Receiving gifts is your blessing and help to the new family, and giving more or less represents your sincerity.

Free gifts and money are equivalent to cutting off human relations directly.

What's the point of asking people to eat and drink for free without giving gifts to the people who took your money?

"Shouhou 38, Yu Changsheng 38, Niu Zhijun 48, Liu Feng 68..."

The more Ding Qiunan thought about it, the more surprised he became. None of Wang Weidong's brothers and friends were under thirty. Even Nan Yi gave him 36 yuan. You must know that his monthly salary is only 37.5 yuan, which is not ordinary!

Wang Weidong had expected this for a long time. These are all close friends.

It was because of him that Shouhou and Yu Changsheng transferred from driver to workshop.

Now they have become team leaders and their salary has been increased a lot.

In addition, the workshop also receives bonuses every month. For them, thirty yuan may be a bit painful, but it will not break their bones.

Not to mention Nanyi.

If it weren't for Wang Weidong, he wouldn't be able to return to the position of canteen monitor, and he might still be cleaning toilets now.

In addition, he has a rich background, so this little money is nothing to him.

The only thing that surprised Wang Weidong was that Liang Ladi also paid twenty-six yuan.

Although she is a seventh-level welder, she still has four children to support at home, and her salary is not enough to make a living. How can she have so much spare money?

Then Wang Weidong remembered that after the project of hand-building a hydraulic booster was completed, a bonus of fifty yuan seemed to be given to each member of the project team.

Maybe it was squeezed out from here.

Wang Weidong shook his head and kept Liang Ladi's favor in his heart, and he would just return it when he finds an opportunity in the future.

"The last Li Yuanchao, 58 yuan."

Hearing this name, Wang Weidong paused, raised his head and asked Ding Qiunan: "Daughter-in-law, who is Li Yuanchao?"

Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at Wang Weidong and said, "Who else? It's my second aunt's son! Didn't he call you brother-in-law at noon and have a drink with you? He's the one wearing a general's nun's coat."

"I even toasted you at the banquet just now!"

Wang Weidong immediately remembered the person Ding Qiunan was talking about.

He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, after all, there was a sea of ​​people calling for aid to the DPRK.

Children in the early 1950s were either called to aid Korea or to found an army, or else to found a country.

But if the word "Li" is added in front of "Yuan Korea", the meaning is completely different.

Then Wang Weidong asked Ding Qiunan carefully about the situation of her second aunt and Li Yuanchao.

Soon Li Yuanchao was paired with a certain film and television character.

If it were really him, he would have to move around more in the future.

What Wang Weidong valued was not Li Yuanchao's background, but his ability.

In the drama "Blood Romance", Li Yuanchao is even more like the protagonist than Zhong Yuemin.

His achievements are also unmatched by Zhong Yuemin.

When the environment improves in a few years, Wang Weidong will definitely go out and work alone.

He has to find talents first, otherwise he will not be able to find any good talents if he searches for them temporarily.

What's more, Li Yuanchao still has this kind of relationship with him.

I believe he will not refuse Wang Weidong's solicitation. After all, no matter how ambitious you are, you have to do it step by step?

Ding Qiunan saw that Wang Weidong was in a daze again, so he raised his hand in front of him and said, "Why are you dazed again? Didn't I ask you to count the money? Have you counted it well?"

Only then did Wang Weidong come to his senses, nodded and said: "Okay, the total is eight hundred and ninety-six."

Ding Qiunan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "So many?"

Since 1955, our country has had a clear wage grade system. There are 24 levels from leaders to grassroots clerks, and the wage system for workers is also divided separately.

Now the salary of the senior leader is only 594 yuan, while the salary of the second leader is 404 yuan.

The red envelope received by Wang Weidong was only two yuan less than the combined salary of the senior leader and second leader.
