Farmers in the courtyard

Chapter 150 Chapter 151: I really didn’t expect it
The doors and windows had to be redone, but there was no way around it. Many of them were already dilapidated and decayed due to weather and rain.

It just so happens that the wooden house in his space also needs doors and windows, and he can let the carpenters do it together.

There is basically nothing left in the furniture. The door has been open for so many years, and all the furniture has been removed. What is left are all useless things that can only be used as firewood.

Rather than remaking it, it is better to just entrust the store to buy it. Nowadays, you can still buy good things when buying and selling old furniture.

Of course, Wang Zhendong feels that it is better to put some ordinary furniture here, there is no need to be antique, it will be uncomfortable for himself.

Just lay out some new kangs and get some wardrobes and stuff.

While watching, Wang Zhendong was planning in his mind, while Liu Feng stood in the patio, not knowing what he was thinking.

After seeing everything, the two returned to the factory.

After chatting in the office all afternoon, Liu Feng treated him to a restaurant outside for dinner in the evening.

Wang Zhendong originally wanted to invite him, but Liu Feng refused to let him go.

This time, instead of drinking alone, the two of them invited several section chiefs from the factory and the secretary to have a drink, and that matter was settled.

After all, it is a public house in the factory, and Liu Feng cannot decide the purchase and sale alone, so this meal of wine is indispensable.

In the afternoon, we discussed the sale and purchase, and treated it as a buyout of a public house. At the same time, we also allocated some land near the house.

They were all within the operable range, and the evening secretary and several section chiefs also gave Wang Zhendong a lot of face. After all, he was also the deputy director of the third steel rolling mill.

Speaking of which, they are all part of the same system and belong to the General Iron and Steel Plant.

After having enough wine and food, Wang Zhendong also said goodbye and went home.

I will take time to come over tomorrow and proceed with the next steps, such as signing the agreement and paying the money.

I originally planned to go to Gu's hometown tonight, but it seems that it can only be the day after tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so it’s not convenient to go.

I still stay at home with my wife and my father-in-law and mother-in-law. After all, the couple will be leaving after the holidays.

On the way back to the city, Wang Zhendong also thought that after the [-]th, the two brothers Lou Chengliang and Lou Chengdong would also be leaving, and he would have to take time to go over there and talk to them about something.

After the two of them finished visiting relatives in Southeast Asia, it would take some time to return to Hong Kong, so they had to figure out where to meet.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if we couldn’t find anyone by then.

Wang Zhendong planned to deposit Lou Runkang's gold in the bank after he went to Xiangjiang.

When thinking of a bank, it would naturally be HSBC or Hang Seng, and Wang Zhendong knew that Hang Seng had a bank run crisis in the [-]s.

It is also a good opportunity for him to take over, at least to become a major shareholder.

During this period, if you have money, you must enter the banking industry, otherwise you will lose too much.

In fact, he had even thought about setting up a bank himself before.

It will definitely not work without its own asset manager.

With his own bank, he can slowly legalize a large amount of unexplained funds.

In this period, the supervision of banks was not like that of later generations, so there was a lot of room for maneuver.

Thinking wildly while driving, the more you think, the further you think.

On the Lantern Festival the next day, Wang Zhendong did not go out. He stayed at home with his wife and father-in-law, playing chess and chatting.

The courtyard is very warm and peaceful.

In the evening, naturally, the whole family eats dumplings in the courtyard, unlike southerners who eat glutinous rice dumplings.

At this time in Sijiucheng, lanterns are held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

As the saying goes, when the lanterns are on, the dumplings are made when the lanterns are off. In fact, the lanterns are on the [-]th day of the first lunar month and the lanterns are off on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

It's just that people are not so strict now. I only saw people hanging lanterns at the age of fifteen, which is not a lot.

Because the neighborhood committee does not promote these old customs, but it is not as strict as they are.

Eating dumplings on the [-]th day of the year also means putting on lanterns on the [-]th day of the year.

But it didn't matter. After dinner, Wang Zhendong played with his two nieces, carrying a rabbit lantern and showing off from the front yard to the backyard.

The two little girls were very excited, because they were the only ones with small lanterns in the yard, so you can imagine how noisy they were.On the evening of the [-]th, after Wang Zhendong had dinner, he drove out and headed to Gu's hometown without picking up anything.

Just a bag of fruit, grown in space, is considered a rarity.

It's my first time visiting, so I don't know what's going on here. It's better to keep it simple so that others don't look bad, so a net bag of fruits is just right.

In Gu's hometown, the couple saw Wang Zhendong come to their door. Gu's lover was very happy. She liked Wang Zhendong the most in the Northeast.

He kept clamoring to marry his youngest daughter to Wang Zhendong, but Mr. Gu was reluctant to let her go.

But the two eldest daughters were both married, and only the younger daughter was still studying in Sijiucheng at that time, and later entered a certain department.

Mr. Gu thought that the two were not suitable because their age difference was too big.

Later, Gu Lao’s lover was no longer mentioned.

After some pleasantries, Mr. Gu called Wang Zhendong into the study and asked Wang Zhendong to sit down before starting to ask some questions.

Not long after Wang Zhendong and Mr. Gu entered the study, a young woman with short hair and long legs opened the door and came in.

"Mom, I'm back, eh? Where did the apple come from? It's so big..."

"Your father's old subordinate was a super fighting hero. He changed his job and returned to the capital a long time ago. This time he heard that your father had also arrived in the capital, so he came to meet him..."

"Oh, is this the Wang Budie that Brother Li Hua said?"

"Why is the king immortal? Don't listen to their nonsense. Wang Zhendong has bullet eyes all over his body. It's just good luck that he doesn't die..."

"Ah...Wang Zhendong?"

"Yes... Wang Zhendong is here today."

Gu Xiaowen's big eyes showed disbelief. She didn't expect that the suspicious person that Director Lan asked her to keep an eye on when she had time was actually her father's old subordinate.

Now in her home, it makes her dumbfounded.

What are you looking at? You are one of your own!

However, Director Lan and she only felt that Wang Zhendong was suspicious, but they did not suspect that he was a bad guy, so it didn't matter whether he was being watched or not.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaowen felt relaxed. This was best. She actually didn't want to provoke people like Wang Zhendong.

It's better now, we are one of our own.

So she picked up an apple in her net bag and was about to eat it, but her mother snatched it away and took it to the kitchen for cleaning.

In the study, Mr. Gu and Wang Zhendong looked solemn because Wang Zhendong pointed out some problems in agricultural production just now.

As well as the drought situation in various places from last year to now, and even what kind of serious situation will happen next, Wang Zhendong said it without any scruples in front of the old chief.

That's why the atmosphere in the study was a bit depressing. Mr. Gu didn't say a word and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Mr. Gu sighed deeply and said to Wang Zhendong: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back first!

Whatever you say here tonight, don’t say a word outside. Just watch your mouth, you know? "

Wang Zhendong nodded repeatedly, "I'm not stupid, I'm just telling you."

Mr. Gu nodded and said with a faint smile: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Don't think too much, don't worry too much, take care of yourself."

Wang Zhendong nodded again, and then the two of them left the study. Wang Zhendong immediately saw the short-haired woman on the sofa chewing an apple.

Gu Xiaowen also stood up instantly, came to Wang Zhendong, stretched out her hand, "Hello, Comrade Wang Zhendong, my name is Gu Xiaowen."

"Hello, I really didn't expect..."

Wang Zhendong also stretched out his hand, shook it, and said in surprise.

"What didn't you think of?"

Gu Xiaowen's mother looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, while Mr. Gu was also surprised.

"I'll let her tell you two later, I'll leave first..."

Wang Zhendong opened the door with a smile, walked out, and closed the door. He was surprised. From the name, he knew that Gu Xiaowen was the old chief's favorite, the legendary old girl with great skills.

In the room, Gu Xiaowen also told her that she had met Wang Zhendong in the compound of the special department and investigated it.
