Chapter 295 I Shouldn't Have Bullied You So Much Before
September 9th is Zhou Cai’s wedding day.
Her leg injury has healed and she returned to work in August.
After Yan Jianzhong stepped down, Qin Taihong was promoted.
Qin Taihong felt that it was very strange that Yan Jianzhong was being persecuted. After all, he had been in the officialdom for more than ten years and had always been cautious. This time he was suddenly targeted. He was very curious about the reason and wanted to learn from it to prevent it from happening again.
When Qin Taihong was secretly investigating, he discovered that the Jiang family was involved. Later, when he went to visit the Shen family, he overheard Shen Bohang say that Zhou Cai and Jiang Yiming had obtained their marriage certificate. He immediately issued an order for Zhou Cai to return to her post and promoted her to deputy director.
If he doesn't hold on to the thigh that is delivered to his door, all his efforts will be in vain!
Zhou Cai was confused about her promotion and felt that she was not qualified based on her abilities and qualifications.
Zhou Gui had already learned about Jiang Yiming's family background from Zhou Rong. She guessed Qin Taihong's intention and advised Zhou Cai not to think too much about it. When a leader promotes someone, there are considerations for him or her. The only thing she should do is to do her job well.
After Zhou Gui's persuasion, Zhou Cai stopped worrying about the promotion and went to work while looking forward to her wedding date...
There was only one room where Zhou's parents lived, and Zhou Cai's dowry was too much, so it was not suitable for Zhou Cai to get married.
After everyone discussed it, they sent Zhou Cai off to get married at Zhou Rong's home.
The Jiang family gave Zhou Cai all the gifts, including bicycles, sewing machines, watches, cash, etc., as dowry. Zhou's mother also prepared eight quilts, pots and pans, etc.
Zhou's mother always felt that these things were too ordinary and a bit incompatible with the betrothal gift given by the Jiang family, and she was worried a lot.
After Zhou Jiaguang learned about his mother's distress, he discussed with Da Wa and planned to prepare a heavyweight dowry for Zhou Cai.
The Red Star 504-3 tube radio is a hot commodity in major shopping malls, costing 32 yuan per unit and requiring a ticket.

But even if you have money and tickets, you may not be able to buy the goods, because the production capacity is limited, and there are only a few units of stock allocated to each city. Without some internal connections, you can't buy anything at all.
Many students came up with the idea of assembling their own radios. Once they succeeded, they would become celebrities in their class or school, and the adults at home would also be proud of them.
Zhou Jiaguang wanted to give Zhou Cai a radio, so he took his eldest child to a radio store after school.
Capacitors and resistors are very cheap, but transistors are very expensive. A diode costs 50 cents, and a high-frequency triode costs three yuan.
Zhou Jiaguang gritted his teeth and took out all the private money he had saved.
Big Brother felt that his mother had no other fun except work, so he bought a complete set of accessories and wanted to assemble a radio for his mother.
By the way, let the neighbors envy his mother. So what if she doesn’t have a man? As long as she has a son, her life will be just as good!
After a period of hard work and repeated experiments, the two asked the teacher for help when they didn't understand. Finally, two days before Zhou Cai's wedding, they made the radio make normal sounds.
Zhou Cai came to Zhou Rong's house three days in advance to get married. When she learned that the radio Zhou Jiaguang made was her dowry, her eyes turned red and she said with a little guilt: "I shouldn't have bullied you like that before."
Zhou Jiaguang waved his hands and said generously: "Let's not talk about childhood things! Do you like this radio?"
Zhou Cai: "I like it, but it's too ugly. Can you make a prettier box for it?"
The radio made by Zhou Jiaguang was fixed on a few wooden boards that were randomly put together. It looked neither elegant nor safe.
Father Zhou took a look and said, "There's still time tomorrow. I'll try to make a shell. It should be in time."
Zhou Jiaguang: "Thank you, Dad!"
Father Zhou: "You're welcome. I never thought that our child, who couldn't even wash his feet before, could make something so amazing now. He must have inherited my intelligence!"
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Stop bragging. Da Wa's radio can also work. Make him a box for it tomorrow."
Father Zhou: “No problem!”
Zhou Rong patted Da Wa's shoulder and praised: "You are awesome, Mom is proud of you!"
The eldest child grinned and said, "As long as mom is happy, everything I do is worth it. This radio I made is specially for you. I hope it can bring happiness to mom."
Zhou Rong said with emotion: "With you around, I am happy every day."
Zhou's father went to the furniture factory and bought some good quality wooden boards. He gave a craftsman a pack of cigarettes and two dollars and asked him to help process them into the shape of the radio shell in the mall.
The master had quick hands and complete tools, and he finished the work for Zhou's father very quickly.
Zhou Jiaguang and Dawa moved all the components into a wooden box, and after some debugging, the radio could be used normally.
Where the decorative paintings were placed, Zhou Jiaguang placed their family portrait.
This was taken at the end of August. Zhou Rong gathered his whole family to take photos to celebrate his father’s 8th birthday.
Zhou Jiaguang pointed at the family portrait and said, "Third sister, put this radio in the most conspicuous place in the Jiang family, so that your third brother-in-law and his family can see that your mother's family has a lot of people. If they dare to bully you, we will come to their door!"
Zhou Cai laughed and said, "Okay."
The decorative painting on Da Wa’s radio is a family photo of their family of four.
Zhou Rong liked it very much. She put the radio on the dressing table in her bedroom and turned it on to listen to it every day...
September 9th was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Jiang Yiming brought some cigarettes, alcohol, and mooncakes to give gifts to Zhou's father, mother, and Zhou Rong.
If it were in the countryside, the bride and groom could not see each other three days before their wedding. But now it is in the city, and the organization promotes the need to break feudal superstitions and liberate thoughts every day, so people don't care about so many rules.
Zhou Cai is getting married tomorrow. She is nervous but happy at the same time. She doesn't know what to say to Jiang Yiming, so she shows him the radio that Zhou Jiaguang made for her.
"Qi Guang made this for me. He's amazing! I used to worry that his mischievous behavior would bring trouble to the family, but I didn't expect him to change so much in the past few years and even be able to make a radio!"
Jiang Yiming looked at Zhou Cai's proud expression and smiled indulgently. In fact, they had a radio at home.
But the radio made by Zhou Jiaguang has a different meaning, especially the family portrait, which is pleasing to the eye and warm to look at.
Jiang Yiming: "Thank you for your hard work, little brother. Tomorrow he will carry the cloth tent bamboo to the compound, and I will give him a big red envelope."
The bamboo for Zhou Cai's cloth tent was carried by Zhou Jiaguang, which he obtained with his own "wisdom".
Da Wa also wanted to carry the cloth tent bamboo, and originally wanted to trick Zhou Jiaguang and induce him to say bad things about Zhou Cai, but he didn't fall for it.
After suffering losses for so many years, Zhou Jiaguang has realized the serious harm of "speaking without thinking", especially before he wants to achieve a certain goal, he must be cautious and guard against the other party setting traps, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.
Zhou Jiaguang guessed what Da Wa wanted to do, so he discussed with him directly and decided not to "harm" him. After getting the red envelope for carrying the cloth tent bamboo, they would each split it in half.
The premise is that the eldest child must deal with the second child and Nini, and prevent these two from interfering.
The eldest child said, "Er Wa and Nini have grown up, and they were raised by my mother herself. They are not easy to deceive. It is unrealistic for you to ask them to give up the red envelopes. Why don't we share them among the four of us?"
Zhou Jiaguang thought about it and agreed to Da Wa’s proposal.
No one made trouble for him, so Zhou Jiaguang easily got the chance to carry the bamboo tent...
