A chaotic house, a perfect couple

After watching the excitement, it was already late. Seeing that it was getting late, Zou Qianjin asked everyone to disperse. After all, they had to go to work tomorrow and went to bed early.

The mother and daughter of the Bai family accompanied Qi Baifan to the outpatient clinic to apply some medicine on his face. They were delayed for a while and walked at the back.

Bai Xiaohui surrounded Qi Baifan and asked curiously about his family situation.

Qi Baifan patiently answered the questions and told Bai Xiaohui some little things he heard from his second-generation colleagues, which made her even more yearning for that "cadre family background".

Brother Bai Fan is so outstanding. I’m really lucky to marry him!

There is no girl in this courtyard who can find a partner who is better than me!

Bai Zhenzhu walked with her head down, feeling very worried.

At that time, she was also overthinking it. She was afraid that a family like the Qi family would not accept Xiaohui, who had a blemish on her reputation, so she coaxed the two young people to get the certificate as soon as possible, making it a fait accompli. Even if the Qi family's parents did not recognize it, they would have to suffer the loss in silence.

Now I think it’s a bit inappropriate.

……

While the others went home to take a shower and go to bed, Bai Zhenzhu found an opportunity to go out for a tryst with Qin Weimin, told him what happened today, and confirmed with him again the situation at Qi Baifan's home.

"Is his family really cadres? How come he doesn't even have that little money?"

Qin Weimin's tone was very firm, and he was very sure that Qi's parents were indeed government officials, and that his brothers also had good jobs.

"Otherwise, where did he get so much money for those 'high-end items' he brought last time?"

"Maybe his family is too strict and doesn't allow him to have any money. Pearl, you just think too much."

Bai Zhenzhu thought about it and said, "Maybe, maybe I'm just thinking too much."

She felt relieved for the time being, but no matter what, she had to meet the elders of the Qi family as soon as possible.

Tonight, dark clouds covered the moon, and the light was dim at night with low visibility, so Bai Zhenzhu did not see Qin Weimin's timid look.

Since the two of them had already come out, they naturally couldn't waste this time, so the middle-aged wild mandarin ducks had a good time being intimate with each other before returning home together.

However, Qin Weimin felt a little uneasy. After returning to the compound, he did not go back to his own home, but went to knock on Qin Ziwen's door.

In the room, Qin Ziwen had already fallen asleep. He was woken up by the knock on the door outside and asked impatiently:

"Who?"

Qin Weimin looked around and saw that no one was around. Then he leaned against the door like a thief and whispered, "It's me, Lao San. Come out for a moment. I have something to do."

Qin Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then he understood something and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His father is always so devoted to his mistress's family.

Sometimes it can even be placed before one's own children.

He said expressionlessly, "I'll be right there, Dad, wait a moment."

After saying that, Qin Ziwen got out of bed and started to put on his clothes.

For fear of being heard, Qin Weimin deliberately pulled Qin Ziwen to the hanging flower gate between the third and second courtyards.

Qin Weimin frowned and confirmed Qi Baifan's family situation again.

"Third brother, what's the situation with that kid's parents at the Qi family? Do they really work in the government? Your Aunt Bai is asking me."

Qin Ziwen's expression darkened for a moment, and he cursed the couple inwardly!

But he said calmly, "That's what I heard from Qi Baifan. If you don't believe me, go to the city government and ask around."

Qin Weimin choked. If he dared to go to the city government to inquire, he would have gone there earlier. Why would he come to ask this kid?

Nowadays, ordinary people always have a sense of awe towards public officials. People like Qin Weimin, who came from the Republic of China, are even more so. They will not deal with the public if they can avoid it.

So he breathed a sigh of relief when he received a positive answer from Qin Ziwen.

"Okay, as long as it's correct."

In this way, I will feel relieved, and Pearl will also feel relieved.

Seeing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Qin Ziwen's eyes.

Qi's parents do work in the government.

Sweeping the streets in the municipal government, isn’t that working for the government?

I never said that the Qi family is a cadre family. These people just misunderstood it.

……

The father and son were talking under the hanging flower gate, while Cheng Jiajia was listening attentively with her ears perked up.

What a coincidence, the hanging flower gate leading from the second courtyard to the third courtyard is right behind the Yu family's house, and the Yu family's kitchen is facing that gate.

What’s even more coincidental is that Cheng Jiajia has sharp ears and good hearing. When she came to close the kitchen window, she happened to hear the conversation between the father and son word for word.

"Oh my god, it turns out that Qin Weimin was the matchmaker between Bai Xiaohui and Qi Baifan!"

"Qi Baifan was introduced by Qin Ziwen!"

Her eyes rolled around and she immediately figured out the twists and turns.

"No wonder Qi Baifan is so weird. I guess Qin Ziwen must have put a lot of effort into finding such a person."

Yu Junsheng: “…”

I always feel that his wife was born in the wrong era. She was particularly suitable for gathering intelligence during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and she was always right about what she gathered.

"It's strange. Why didn't these three people think of finding out if there is such a family in the Municipal Party Committee compound? How can you just believe whatever the other person says during a blind date?" Cheng Jiajia expressed her incomprehension.

Yu Junsheng sneered, "As soon as they heard about the cadre family, they pounced like hungry wolves with green eyes. How could they care less about anything else?"

Maybe there are some other ideas, who knows.

Anyway, those people are not normal people.

However, Bai Zhenzhu was probably already suspicious and would probably ask to see Qi's parents. Qi Baifan couldn't delay it for much longer.

He was very much looking forward to the day when the two relatives would meet.

……

Cheng Jiajia didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Another day off.

A middle-aged man and woman, well-dressed and with arrogant looks, stood at the gate of Compound No. 35.

A few middle-aged women who were eating melon seeds and chatting in the front yard noticed it immediately.

After living in the same compound for decades, everyone knows clearly which family has which relatives and which ones have dealings with each other. They may not be very familiar with each other, but at least they look familiar.

But they had never seen these two people before.

No one in their compound has such respectable and impressive relatives.

Look, this man is wearing a Zhongshan suit, and this woman is wearing a Lenin suit. These are not things that ordinary people can afford, and they have only seen them on cadres.

The other aunts were still wondering in their hearts which relative this was.

Aunt Cao's eyes gleamed with gossip, and she was the first to ask, "Hey, comrades, who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged woman raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Please show us the way. We're looking for a family named Bai in your courtyard. My son is getting married to a girl from the Bai family, and we're here to meet the in-laws and see how the two children are doing."

Aunt Cao's eyes widened. "You, you are Xiao Qi's parents?"

The middle-aged female comrade lightly tapped her noble chin and stopped talking.

Aunt Cao: “…”

Uh, are all cadres so arrogant?

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Comrade, please lead the way."

Aunt Cao rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the Bai family!"

After saying that, he ran in front of the two of them, shouting towards the yard as he walked, "The cadre-in-law of the Bai family is coming! The cadre-in-law of the Bai family is coming!"

Following her shout, almost all the residents in the courtyard ran out of their houses and looked at the well-dressed middle-aged man and woman with bright eyes.

Nothing else to do, just to see what the cadres look like.

Middle-aged man and woman: "..."

It seems that the people in this courtyard are not normal.

They tightened the "good things" in their hands and quickened their pace to catch up with Aunt Cao.

Oh my God, please don't let anyone steal my things.

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng soon heard Aunt Cao's loud voice and looked at each other.

The next second, they ran towards the Third Hospital hand in hand.

Although they didn't know why Qi's parents came, they had a hunch that today would be very lively, and they had to get a good seat to watch the show.

If her guess was correct, the Qi family was not well off and the jobs of Qi's parents were probably not decent.

So she was very curious about Bai Zhenzhu's reaction.

The Third Courtyard was very lively, and people from the entire compound came over to join in the fun.

The Qi couple are cadres, so who wouldn’t want to get to know them and build a relationship with them?

You never know, you might need their connections in the future.

There was not enough space for so many people to sit in the Bai family's house, so everyone just stood in the yard.

At this time, the winter north wind no longer hurts your face.

Everyone was chatting animatedly about Qi Baifan's parents, not feeling the chill of winter at all.

"Comrade Qi, have you ever met the highest leader?"

"Comrade Qi, what does the Great Hall look like?"

"Comrade Qi, do you eat meat every day?"

"Comrade Qi, is your unit still hiring?"

"Comrade Qi, what are your recruitment requirements? Can I let my nephew try? He graduated from high school with excellent grades."

Father Qi: “…”

Qi's mother said arrogantly, "These are all confidential, and they cannot be leaked casually!"

Everyone was stunned. What kind of secret is this?

Why are Xiao Qi's parents so weird?

However, in order to avoid embarrassing the two cadres, someone quickly picked up the topic, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Cheng Jiajia glanced at the dignified and respectable Qi family's parents from a distance and was stunned for a moment. Could it be that she guessed wrong?

Then he glanced at the faces of Qi's parents and Qi Baifan. Well, there was no resemblance at all.

Looking again, he saw all kinds of "high-end goods" piled up in front of the Bai family's door. They were the same as what Qi Baifan brought last time.

Well, she almost knew what Qi Baifan was up to.

Fu Jiaojiao squeezed in at some point, and her eyes widened when she saw those 'high-end goods', and she couldn't take her eyes off them.

"This, this, this..."

Aunt Cao, who was munching on sunflower seeds nearby, thought she was envious and said as she ate her own. "Envious, huh? These old couple are really generous. They brought a bottle of wine and two boxes of tea this time. It seems they really value this match. Bai Xiaohui is really lucky."

Fu Jiaojiao: “…” Not that I’m that envious.

Cheng Jiajia thought to herself, isn't it quite important? I wonder how much money Qi Baifan spent on this play.

Ma Gaosheng, "Comrades, Xiao Qi is such an outstanding young man. It is a blessing for Xiaohui to marry him. I heard that Comrade Xiao Qi has six brothers. I believe those six young comrades are as outstanding as Xiao Qi, right?"

Mother Qi held her chin high and said, "Of course, my sons are all very promising."

Everyone: "..."

Are all comrades from cadre families so immodest?

Ma Gaosheng's face lit up with joy, "May I ask where the other six brothers are doing?" When he heard that the cadre relatives of the Bai family were coming, Ma Gaosheng was the one who ran the fastest, in order to get closer to them so that he could build up relationships with them in the future.

Mother Qi was stuck, her expression subtle for a moment, but it was only that moment, and she quickly raised her head again, her expression indifferent, "How can you tell others about this? What if someone with ulterior motives hears it and seeks improper benefits?"

Ma Gaosheng: “…”

His toes dug into the ground awkwardly, and he always felt that this person was hinting at him.

He laughed awkwardly, "How could that be? I was just asking casually, just asking casually."

He didn't say anything after that, fearing that this person would get angry at him again.

Many people heard this scene, and many people felt that cadres should be cautious in their conduct and would even keep secrets about their family members' work units.

Zou Qianjin also came over. He didn't want to build a relationship with Qi's parents, but if Qi's parents were really government officials and they came to the compound, then if he, as the director of the compound, didn't come to accompany them, he would be afraid that he would be accused of dereliction of duty by his superiors.

However, he was not as flattering as the others. He just sat there and rarely spoke.

Qi's mother felt a little strange when she heard what he said. From the way he spoke just now, it seemed like he was very proud of his sons and loved to show off. Then why was he unwilling to say anything when others asked about his work?

It's just the name of an organization, there's nothing wrong with saying it. If I were really humble and low-key, I wouldn't have said that just now.

But he didn't think about it too deeply. Maybe the other person just didn't want them to know and was afraid that they would ask others for help, so he said that on purpose.

Although Mr. Qi had a gloomy face, he miraculously chatted with everyone.

He was speaking eloquently about a policy issue, and his neighbors looked at him with admiration and kept flattering him.

I thought that this cadre was different from ordinary people like us. He spoke in an elegant, pleasant and reasonable way.

The atmosphere in the room was harmonious, and Bai Zhenzhu's heart finally settled down.

She looked at her daughter and son-in-law sitting together with satisfaction, and was about to say a few words to encourage the young couple.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside: "Wang Laowu! Zhang Guihua! You two liars, give me back my money!"

The room was silent, and everyone subconsciously shut their mouths, held their breath, and looked towards the door.

I saw a tall and strong man with a square face staring fiercely at Qi's father and mother who were sitting in the upper seats, as if he wanted to eat them.

Seeing the person coming, 'Father Qi's' face changed.

"Ah, help!"

Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, he lifted the tablecloth and rushed in at lightning speed.

Then, 'Mother Qi', who was a little slow, also crawled in with her head in her hands, a look of horror on her face.

"Help, help!"

Everyone: “…!!!”

No, Wang Laowu, Zhang Guihua, who is it?

Bai Zhenzhu and her daughter were also dumbfounded.
