Siheyuan: I am so good that I became a god of war

"I will also prepare the gifts. But these are just temporary loans to you. Remember to pay them back when you have money in the future. I will prepare five pounds of meat and ten pounds of noodles for you first!"

Ding Junlin nodded quickly: "Okay, it's settled. No need to lend it to me first, cousin, I have a few things I want to sell to you..."

"What is it?" Ding Weidong asked with interest.

"They are a few gold and silver ornaments." Ding Junlin whispered, "These are left to me by my parents. I don't know where they got these things from."

"Bring it here and let me see." Ding Weidong raised his eyebrows slightly again and said.

Soon, Ding Junlin brought a package wrapped in red cloth, which contained several gold bracelets and two gold rings. To Ding Weidong's surprise, there was also a jade bracelet and a Tianhuang stone as big as an egg.

Although Ding Weidong didn't know much about jade, he could tell that the jade bracelet was of very good quality and the Tianhuang stone was extremely precious. Such things were very valuable even in the ** period.

"These are all... I'll give you 5,000 yuan." Ding Weidong said softly, "I'll take care of all the expenses for your wedding. What do you think?"

"Why do I need so much? Cousin, just give me three thousand." Ding Junlin said in a sensible manner.

"That's it, five thousand yuan. The jade bracelet is very valuable, and I also plan to give you a bicycle and a sewing machine. And I will help you prepare the etiquette for your trip to Qinjiazhuang to propose marriage." Ding Weidong smiled and continued, "And for the meat for the wedding day, I will also prepare a portion of wild boar meat for you, and I can't help with the rest." "Thank you so much, thank you cousin." Ding Junlin seemed very surprised.

"Go ahead. I'll see you at the gate tomorrow morning at five o'clock." Ding Weidong said with a smile, "By the way, go buy some new clothes and a pair of leather shoes. Here are the cloth coupons and leather shoe coupons. By the way, I'll give you the 180 yuan and the bicycle ticket as well."

"When your big day comes, I will give you the money and the ticket for the sewing machine." Ding Weidong said as he handed the money and the ticket to Ding Junlin.

Not long after Ding Junlin walked out of the study, Li Qingyu walked in.

"Qingyu, these jewelry are all yours, take them quickly." Ding Weidong said gently, "Especially this jade bracelet, let me keep it for you for now, and I'll give it to you in the future."

"Brother Dong, just keep them. I don't want to wear those gold bracelets right now." Li Qingyu said in a tender voice, "Brother Dong, let's eat quickly."

The next morning at 5:00, Ding Weidong arrived at the gate of the yard as scheduled. He saw Ding Junlin, already dressed in full clothes, standing at the gate waiting for him, pushing his newly bought bicycle.

The car was purchased last night.

"Come on, let's fix the bike on the roof first, you'll need it when you come back." Ding Weidong said. Ding Junlin then tied the bike to the roof together with Ding Weidong.

As soon as the arrangement was completed, Fan Dalei arrived on his three-wheeled motorcycle. He pushed the motorcycle into the front yard, and sat on the back seat with He Yushui, while Ding Junlin sat in the passenger seat.

Ding Weidong drove the vehicle to the gate of the steel plant and met Li Huaide who was already waiting at the gate. Then, Ding Weidong led the convoy to the destination.

At 6 o'clock that morning, they arrived at the streets of Hongxing Commune. Ding Weidong parked the car next to a restaurant near the commune. This was the only restaurant near the commune.

"Director Li, let's have some breakfast." Ding Weidong said with a smile: "We will have some more breakfast later. In fact, we are going to Qinjiazhuang to propose marriage to my cousin."

"Yeah, that's a good idea." Li Huaide said with a smile, "Leave it to me. No one can compete with me to be the matchmaker for this wedding."

"Okay, you are the best person to introduce us." Ding Weidong agreed with a smile and suggested, "Then let's start eating now."

This small restaurant only served noodles in the morning, and they were noodles made from a mixture of different grains. But the noodle soup was very good, with egg and Chinese toon as toppings. After the group enjoyed the meal, Ding Weidong paid for the meal and gave them food coupons.

"The taste of Chinese toon is really great." Li Huaide said after tasting it with satisfaction: "Let's go up the mountain this time to see if we can collect more." "There should be some on the mountain." Ding Weidong agreed and said: "Let's pick more when the time comes."

It was already seven o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the entrance of Qinjiazhuang Village, and the villagers had already started to get busy.

Seeing the two cars drive into the village, many children ran after them curiously. After Ding Weidong stopped the car, several children immediately gathered around to watch the excitement.

Ding Weidong opened the door and got out of the car, and saw two men walking towards him quickly.

"Hello, Chief! I am Qin Delu, the secretary of Qinjiazhuang. May I ask..." A man in his forties stepped forward and asked humbly.

"Hello, Secretary Qin. We are from the steel plant. I would like to ask where Qin Jingru's home is? Oh, I see it, Qin Jingru!" Ding Weidong said when he saw Qin Jingru carrying two buckets of water from afar.

"You...you are Vice President Ding! What...are you looking for me for?" Qin Jingru was obviously a little panicked: "If you want to look for Sister Huairu, what is it? I am not an employee of the steel plant."

"Don't be afraid. It's actually a good thing. Is this the courtyard where your home is?" Ding Weidong asked.

A small house about ten meters away was obviously Qin Jingru's residence, because she had just come from that direction.

"Yes...what exactly are you going to do?" Qin Huairu looked at them with confusion and uneasiness.

"Cousin, take the things out of the trunk quickly." Ding Weidong said, "Director Li and I will go in and take a look. Dalei and Yushui, you two wait in the car for a while."

"Okay, let's go." Li Huaide said with a smile.

Many villagers gathered around to watch the fun. Here, even a bicycle is a luxury, let alone such a new car.

Even the secretary of the ** only owns an old jeep, which is a very precious means of transportation.

Ding Junlin was carrying one and a half kilograms of pork belly, two silver carps weighing five kilograms, two bottles of Fenjiu and a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes.

These things are more than enough as a wedding gift. "Director Li, Chief Engineer Ding, who are you?" Qin Delu asked.

"This is my cousin Ding Junlin. He has fallen in love with Qin Jingru. He came to ask Director Li of your Red Star Automobile Manufacturing Plant for help to propose marriage." Ding Weidong said with a smile.

Ding Weidong and Li Huaide walked into the small courtyard. Qin Delu suddenly became excited and immediately ran to the gate of the courtyard and shouted, "Decai Decai, come out quickly. There is something good coming to your family."

Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted. Her cheeks turned red, and she quickly returned home with the two empty buckets.

When Ding Weidong and Li Huaide arrived at the door, they saw a man in his forties standing in front of the door with Qin Delu, greeting them with a smile on their faces.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat on the bench in the yard.

"Jingru, go and pour some water for the guests, and bring some sugar." Qin Decai said firmly, "Go quickly, and we need to boil some water."

"Don't be too busy. I'm sorry for causing you trouble by rushing here this time." Ding Weidong said, "I came here for my cousin Ding Junlin, he is interested in Qin Jingru."

"My cousin works in a car factory. He has his own house, a bicycle and a sewing machine. We specially asked Director Li of the car factory to be our matchmaker..."

"By the way, he lost both his parents and has only a twin sister who also works in the car factory." Qin Delu added hastily: "Decai, what are you waiting for? Promise it now."

"Ah...Okay, I agree." Qin Decai looked at the gifts on the millstone in the yard: "These things should be betrothal gifts, right? Okay, I agree."

"No, this is just a meeting gift. The formal betrothal gift will have to wait until the engagement." Li Huaide explained: "Also, you can't force your daughter to get married. You need to let Qin Jingru express her opinion."

"She will definitely agree." Qin Decai said quickly: "Who wouldn't want such conditions? If she doesn't listen to me, I will beat her up."

"Jingru, please come out soon."

Qin Jingru came out with a red face, glanced at Ding Junlin, then lowered her head and said softly, "Dad, you decide."

Li Huaide smiled and said, "Okay, the girl is willing. Then we will discuss the marriage another day."

"No, no need to wait." Qin Decai said anxiously, "Today is fine. Jingru, go pack your things and follow your new husband... It's Ding Junlin, right? Go with him to complete the formalities, and come back to hold the wedding when you have time."

"That... is also possible." Ding Weidong nodded in agreement: "Regarding the house... Director Li, please write a note. We have eight rooms in the backyard, and we will give him two. Zhong Chongshan and Gao Yiheng have already prepared everything."

"Okay, for your sake, I'll give him four rooms." Li Huaide smiled and replied, "It will be enough for him to have children in the future."

Li Huaide took out a pen and paper, wrote a note, and signed it. He handed it to Ding Junlin and said, "Go find the logistics director and give this to him."

"Thank you, Director Li, thank you, Director Li." Ding Junlin said gratefully.

"Okay. We'll say goodbye. Junlin, go drive the car here." Ding Weidong stood up and said.

"How can this be? How can this be? We must have lunch here at noon today..." Qin Decai hurriedly stood up to persuade him to stay.

"No, we still have some things to deal with." Ding Weidong waved his hand: "Talk to Junlin about the details. If there is anything he needs my help with, he will come to me. Director Li, we are leaving."

Seeing this, Qin Delu and Qin Decai knew they could not keep the guests, so they could only watch the two cars leave.

"Junlin, let's go home and talk slowly." Qin Decai said. At this time, most people in the village had left, and Ding Junlin pushed the cart and followed Qin Decai home.

"Stop watching, go back to eat and get ready for work." Qin Delu shouted.

Ding Junlin sat on a small bench in the yard. Qin Jingru, with a blushing face, brought two cups of sugar water, one for Ding Junlin and one for Qin Delu.
