In the Ding family hall, Wang Weidong looked at the furnishings in the house curiously.
White painted walls, cement floor, sallow wooden windows, windows covered with light white lace curtains.
There is an Eight Immortals table in the center and a five-corner cabinet in the corner.
A framed picture and two certificates hang on the wall.
Just as Wang Weidong was about to get in front of the certificate, he heard heavy footsteps behind him.
He turned around and said, "Uncle Ding, you are back!"
Ding Boren glanced at Wang Weidong. The boy had changed into a gray tunic suit and was much more energetic than when he was in the workshop.
This guy is somewhat polite.
"coming."
"I've just been here for a while, Uncle Ding, please sit down!" Wang Weidong was a little frightened by Ding Boren's stare, and subconsciously pointed to the sofa.
Ding Boren:...
Whose family is this? This guy is so rude.
However, when Wang Weidong put the TV on the cabinet. Looking at the high-end TV, Ding Boren smiled: "Weidong, you can treat this place as your home from now on."
As a person who came from hard times, Ding Boren is not greedy for material things.
But this is a TV! It can only be found in the homes of leaders.
I think back then, Ding Boren only used ten pounds of peanuts to marry Ding's mother back home.
Now this guy actually sent me a TV.
This is already a thousand times the betrothal gift.
I think Wang Weidong can do it!
Mother Ding was relieved when she saw a smile finally appeared on Ding Boren's bitter face.
There are two pegs in this house, one is Ding Boren and the other is Ding Qiunan.
Both of them have one thing in mind, they have personalities that cannot be pulled back by ten cows.
She smiled and said, "Weidong hasn't eaten yet. I've already cooked it. I'll stir-fry some more vegetables later. You and Lao Ding will have a nice drink later."
Wang Weidong naturally nodded repeatedly, "Then I'm sorry."
In this era of door-to-door blind dates, as long as someone stays with you to eat, the marriage is considered a success.
If you want to keep your new uncle to eat, naturally you can't do it hastily. Mother Ding gritted her teeth and took out a roll of banknotes from her pocket:
"Qiu Sheng, go to Li Luwei's and buy a pound of braised pork, and then buy two pounds of old wine!"
"Okay!" Ding Qiushan responded and immediately ran out.
Braised pork... Yan Bugui, who had been standing aside and pretending to be a bonsai, was so happy that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
I, the matchmaker, finally got my money.
Ding Qiunan heard her mother's words in the house and was so happy that she buried her head in the quilt.
My father finally accepted Brother Wei Dong, and I was so happy.
Ding Boren saw Wang Weidong busy playing with the TV and thought that since they were about to become a family, they should have a good chat.
"Weidong, stop working so hard. Let Qiu Sheng install the TV later."
"Come here, let's talk."
The two started their daily routine, and Wang Weidong did not hide anything.
He recounted his experience from childhood to adulthood, including his experience of meeting and getting married to Lou Xiaoe, in detail.
Ding Boren kept nodding, because what Wang Weidong said was almost the same as what he had heard.
This young man is quite honest.
Listening to Wang Weidong's glorious past, Ding Boren unconsciously took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Just when he was looking for a matchbox, Wang Weidong took out an aluminum box.
With a slight press, there was a 'click' sound, and blue flames erupted from the aluminum box.
"Lighter?" Ding Boren's eyes fell on the aluminum box and he couldn't move it away anymore.
When he attended an exchange meeting for senior technicians at the ministry, he had seen eighth-level workers from the south using this device.
This thing is much easier to use than matches. It is convenient and not afraid of moisture.
As an old smoker, Ding Boren also wanted to buy a lighter, but gave up as soon as he inquired about it.
It’s not the price that’s the problem, it’s that there’s nowhere to buy lighters.
Lighters are only produced by a state-owned factory in the south, and the output is very small. They are basically special supplies.
"It's a lighter, but it's not Sunflower brand. It was developed by the workshop laboratory." After Wang Weidong lit the cigarette, he thrust the lighter into Ding Boren's hand, "Uncle, if you smoke, I'll give you this lighter. I'm not a good person. Smoking is a waste if it is left on me.”
Ding Boren picked up the lighter and looked at it carefully. This lighter seemed different from the ones he had seen.
There are no gears on the upper part and no flint installed on the lower part.
How does it start a fire?
Wang Weidong saw Ding Boren's doubts and said, "Uncle, this lighter is rechargeable."
Charge? Ding Boren was stunned when he heard this.
This was the first time he knew that a lighter could be recharged.
Then he thought that this kid could even design a hydraulic booster, and a small rechargeable lighter was not unusual, and Ding Boren was relieved.
However, he did not put the lighter in his pocket.
This thing is too expensive. It is a product of a laboratory and is public property.
If you put it into a private pocket, you have to make a mistake.
Wang Weidong naturally understood what the old worker was thinking, and explained with a smile, "I bought the materials for making the lighter with my own money, and I also made the design drawings myself, so you can rest assured."
"Well, be careful. You have a high position now, so many eyes are watching you." Ding Boren felt relieved and put the lighter in his pocket.
The little cabbage that he has raised for more than 20 years has been taken over by him.
What's the point of giving him a lighter? !
After blowing out the smoke, Ding Boren flicked the ashes from his cigarette and asked, "What do you think about the matter between you and Qiunan?"
When it came to business, Wang Weidong became serious, "Uncle, I am sincere to Qiunan, and I really want to marry her. I will definitely treat her well in the future."
Ding Boren nodded unequivocally. He was also young and knew the man's thoughts.
I'm afraid only he knows whether Wang Weidong's words are sincere or false.
"I already know what Qiu Nan means. In principle, I don't object to you two being together, but it would be too early to get married now. How old are you this year?"
"twenty-three!"
"I'm two years older than Qiu Nan, so there are no conflicts in my zodiac signs, but there are no auspicious days this year. I have a suggestion, please listen to it."
Wang Weidong nodded quickly. What son-in-law would dare not listen to his future father-in-law!
"It's less than half a month until the Chinese New Year. I suggest you get engaged first. Wait until the Chinese New Year is over and you have a good idea of the day, and then we can talk about marriage. What do you think?"
Wang Weidong was stunned. He never expected that Ding Boren would make such a request.
Any questions about zodiac signs, lack of auspicious dates, etc. are probably all excuses.
It's just that they are afraid that they will be carried away by love and regret it when they calm down.
As an old father, Ding Boren does have good intentions.
Although he wanted to marry Ding Qiunan back home as soon as possible, Wang Weidong could only nod his head: "Uncle, you are the elder, and I will listen to you."
"Really? Don't say nice things on your lips, but think otherwise in your heart."
"How could it be? There is no one in my family anymore. You and aunt will be my elders and my family from now on. Naturally, I have to listen to your opinions."
Hearing this, not only Ding Boren, but Ding's mother also nodded with satisfaction.
This kid is quite capable!
"Okay, then let's do it. For the specific engagement time, you can find someone to look up the almanac. It should be before the year before. The engagement ceremony doesn't need to be too grand, just keep it simple."
Ding Boren also thinks about Wang Weidong, who is now married for the second time.
Not long after the previous ex ran away, he got engaged again. It was not good news and could easily lead to gossip.
Wang Weidong was a smart man and quickly understood Ding Boren's good intentions.
Who doesn’t want to be famous when marrying their daughter?
But for the sake of his future, Wang Weidong, he could only sacrifice these formalisms.
Wang Weidong was very moved, Lao Ding’s family are all good people!
For this reason, Wang Weidong could not wrong Ding Qiunan.
After chatting for a while, Ding Qiusheng finally came back from outside.
Ding's mother has also cooked the dishes, three dishes and one soup.
Braised pork, stir-fried radish, stir-fried cabbage, and a bowl of egg soup, it was considered a very luxurious meal in this era.
Yan Bugui, the matchmaker, was not formal at all. While everyone was chatting, his chopsticks were flying.
Invite this matchmaker to please a lonely person.
Although Ding Boren figured it out, he repeatedly toasted to Wang Weidong at the dinner table.
He made Wang Weidong drunk and wanted to see if Wang Weidong would lose his moral character after drinking.
In the eyes of the older generation, this is very critical.
However, Wang Weidong has a good drinking capacity. After finishing the two kilograms of old wine that he brought back, he even drank two bottles of the Maotai that Wang Weidong had sent over before, and he was still not even half drunk.
Instead, Ding Boren and Ding Qiusheng, who wanted to drink from him, fell down.
The commotion made Ding's mother and Ding Qiusheng's daughter-in-law laugh bitterly. The father and son were too unreliable.
Wang Weidong had to help get them into the room.
By the time he came out of the room, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening.
Yan Bugui left early after eating.
This old boy, let him return his leather shoes when he gets back!
Just when Wang Weidong was about to leave, Ding Qiunan held his hand.
"It's so late, how can you go back alone?"
"It's okay, I rode a bicycle. I'll be there soon." Wang Weidong said with a smile.
Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at him, "I just watched you drink so much, don't fall into the ditch while riding!"
After being reminded by Ding Qiunan, Wang Weidong patted his head as if he had a sudden realization.
Don’t drive when you drink, don’t drink when driving, even on a bicycle.
In addition, it is winter, and the wind is so strong outside, maybe the wind will blow it, and the wine will be strong.
Safety comes first, Wang Weidong is not in the habit of gambling with his own life.
"Then I'll leave the bike at your house and you can help me ride it to the factory tomorrow. I'll take you back after get off work?"
After hearing this, Ding Qiunan couldn't hold back anymore and pinched Wang Weidong hard.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? I mean to tell you not to go back!"
"Ah?" Wang Weidong scratched his head and said, "That's not good. If your dad and your brother see me coming out of your room tomorrow morning, they might tear me alive!"
Ding Qiunan gave him a shy look, "Humph, you have a good idea. You still want to sleep in my room. You can sleep in the guest room! I have already packed it up and even carried the bedding. You can go and wash your face in a while. Go to sleep."
Wang Weidong suddenly showed a pitiful expression, "Are you willing to let me guard the empty room alone?"
"Why am I reluctant? Just sleep alone tonight. Don't think about good things before getting engaged!"
Wang Weidong looked at Ding Qiunan with a resentful look on his face. A woman's face turns against her faster than a book.
She was so proactive at first, but now she suddenly rejects people thousands of miles away.
So angry!
Ding Qiunan, a first-time wife, was stared at by Wang Weidong and couldn't help but think of what happened that day.
Her face suddenly turned red, and her heart softened.
"I will accompany you to the room to have a conversation, but you are not allowed to mess around."
"Okay, but you have to treat me to some fruit!" Wang Weidong took the opportunity to make a request.
Ding Qiunan looked confused. Eat fruit? What fruit to eat?
Where could she go to find fruit for Wang Weidong in the middle of the night?
Until Wang Weidong whispered a few words in her ear, Ding Qiunan's face suddenly turned as red as an apple, and she gave Wang Weidong a few hard blows.
Wang Weidong accepted it without hesitation. Seeing that Ding Qiunan was angry but did not refuse, he knew that it was done and couldn't help but laugh.
Hey, don’t tell me, Ding Qiunan’s papayas are really big and white.
"Ding, if you sign in successfully, you will be rewarded with a box of cantaloupe, a box of cherries, and five bunches of bananas."
? ? ?
What the hell, I ate Ding Qiunan’s fruit last night, and today I was given a banana when I signed in.
Does this tell him to reciprocate?
This system is so serious!
Well, Ding Qiunan should like eating bananas.
After having breakfast at Ding's house, Wang Weidong rode his bicycle and took Ding Qiunan out together.
Ding Boren, on the other hand, was hanging far behind. He had to go to work at the steel rolling mill during this period and was traveling with them.
Seeing the closeness between his daughter and Wang Weidong, Ding Boren felt uneasy.
But there is no way, my daughter will always get married when she grows up.
Along the way, Wang Weidong and Ding Qiunan, a handsome man and beautiful woman, formed a beautiful scenery.
From time to time, someone would look back.
His eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Plant flowers and plant grass are together, it sounds like a fairy tale has a happy ending.
But for the secret admirers, it's not good news.
Especially Yu Haitang, her teeth were almost broken when she saw Wang Weidong holding Ding Qiunan's little hand.
I originally thought that Lou Xiao'e would run away, but my opportunity came again.
After all, Wang Weidong's development was really good now, and he might become the factory leader soon, so she couldn't help but be tempted.
The previous grudges were immediately forgotten by her, and she only thought about renewing her relationship with Wang Weidong.
If it doesn't work, he will find a way to cook the raw rice into cooked rice. When the time comes, Wang Weidong will lift his pants even if he doesn't admit it.
Unexpectedly, Ding Qiunan was the first to do so.
As the two passed by her, Yu Haitang lowered his head and cursed a bitch secretly.
No, we can't just admit it. As long as the two of them don't get married for a day, she still has a chance.
If it's not enough to cook raw rice into cooked rice, it can be done by adding some fillings, right?
You have to plan this carefully!
Her sister Yu Li often runs to Yan's house recently, maybe she can ask him for help.
Yu Haitang is a very scheming person, and he soon came up with a solution that he thought was sure-fire.
Wang Weidong was unaware of this, parked the car behind the carport, and happily sent Ding Qiunan to the infirmary.
When he returned to Workshop No. 1, he happened to walk in with his father-in-law, Ding Boren.
