"It's Director Zhang. He's holding an award certificate. Maybe he's here to give it to our family."
Upon hearing this.
Yi Zhonghai darted out the door.
Seeing Zhang Dajun pass by, he was so eager to shake hands with him.
But he ignored him.
It seems they didn't win the award.
Then I saw how impatient Jia Zhangshi looked.
Could it be the Jia family?
It's good that their family won the award.
He was Jia Dongxu's mentor, and if his family could be recognized, he would also gain prestige.
Zhang Dajun came to Jia Zhangshi's side.
She stretched out her hands, like a mother hen spreading her wings.
She wished she could pounce on Zhang Dajun right then and there.
"Director Zhang, you've arrived."
She ignored whoever Zhang Dajun was.
In her haste, Jia Zhangshi thought he hadn't seen her.
Raising his voice: "Director Zhang, I'm here!"
Qin Huairu waved back, "Director Zhang, I am Qin Huairu, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family."
Gao Da had no time to talk to them.
They went straight to He Hongyang.
"Director Ma, you're here too."
"It's Director Zhang. I was just about to send someone to call you, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"With such a happy occasion today, of course I, as the director of the military control office, had to come."
He immediately shook hands with He Hongyang, delighted.
"Since today is a happy day, let's make it a double celebration."
Almost everyone, young and old, was present at the courtyard house.
He waved his arms as he spoke.
"I'm here today to tell everyone that this year's 'Five Good Families' selection will be made from a family in a courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang?"
0 ····Request flowers···· ··
"Wow—"
A round of applause followed.
When Jia Dongxu saw the name on the certificate, he asked in confusion, "Mom, look, it's not our name at all."
Jia Zhangshi was completely illiterate.
"Don't say such unlucky things. Listen carefully to what Director Zhang is saying."
Qin Huairu also glared at him.
"I knew you'd mess things up at crucial moments. When it's time to go up on stage to receive the award, don't go, let me go instead."
When Jia Zhangshi heard that she wouldn't let her son go...
“Even if Dongxu doesn’t go, it should be me. When did it become your turn?”
“I don’t care, I’m going anyway. Only someone as beautiful as me can represent the Jia family.”
While the two were arguing.
Zhang Dajun pulled He Hongyang aside.
"This year's 'Five-Good Family' is the He family. Please welcome He Hongyang to accept the award."
"Wow—"
Another round of applause followed.
He Hongyang had long guessed that Zhang Dajun was so capable, this award must belong to his family.
Wang Liying was so excited she couldn't believe it.
This is a "Five-Good Family" award; only one family in the entire Nanluoguxiang area is selected.
Why did it have to be their turn?
It must be thanks to He Hongyang!
He is the head of this family, and all the honors he has earned for this family should belong to him.
The thought that I am now his woman makes me feel incredibly satisfied!
[Wang Liying admires her host, luck score +300!]
Sha Zhu was overjoyed and didn't know what to do.
He was afraid that his hands would get the certificate dirty.
He kept wiping his hands with his clothes, his eyes fixed on the certificate of merit.
Looks like I need to hurry up and buy a picture frame to mount the certificate and hang it in my older brother's living room.
That way, anyone who comes will see it.
Once you see them, you'll know how remarkable the He family is.
My elder brother made such a great contribution, and their family was even recognized as a model family.
Even if He Daqing were here, they wouldn't be living such a good life.
All of this is thanks to my eldest brother!
I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Brother, you're amazing! You're a role model for all of us."
He Yushui and Wang Lizhen were also very excited, their little hands almost turning red from clapping.
[Wang Lizhen admires her host, Luck +30!]
Their family won an award.
This is something I never dared to imagine before.
The eldest brother's achievements were unparalleled by anyone else in the entire courtyard.
Other friends must be envious of them having such a big brother.
The Jia family members stood there dumbfounded, watching all of this in disbelief.
The He family was recognized as a "Five-Good Family"?
How can this be?
Their family only has a few siblings, no elderly people, and no multigenerational households, so how did they become their family?
Did Zhang Dajun make a mistake?
Jia Zhangshi, carrying her load, said, "Director Zhang, the He family only has a few siblings. Why should He Hongyang receive this award?"
Upon hearing her words, Yi Zhonghai also stood up and spoke up.
“Many families in our compound have elderly members. Aren’t the five good families supposed to respect the elderly and care for the young, be thrifty, and maintain good neighborly relations? The He family doesn’t even have an elderly member. How can they be considered to respect the elderly and care for the young?”
The second aunt was also unconvinced.
Liu Haizhong is a careerist.
Their family had been waiting for this award for ages, and now it had been given to the He family. They were really not happy about it.
“Even if there are no elderly people, there should at least be children. He Hongyang just got married and doesn’t even have a child yet.”
Seeing that everyone else was against it, the third aunt also wanted to say a few words.
If we're talking about having the most children, their family has the most, so this award should belong to them.
Yan Bugui pulled her aside and whispered.
"Don't make a sound yet, let's see what's going on first."
Zhang Dajun knew that every year when the "Five Good Families" award was given out, there were always a few who were dissatisfied.
He pointed to the He siblings.
“You haven’t said everything. There are two more things to consider in a good family: gender equality and harmonious marriage.”
"I want to ask, which of you couples respects and loves each other as much as He Hongyang and his wife? Who else would give up their only job opportunity to his wife, even if they didn't have one themselves?"
"As for respecting the elderly and caring for the young, does it only count if there are elderly people in the family? Does it only count if there are children in the family? He Hongyang treats his younger siblings like his own children."
"He not only supports his own younger siblings, but also his wife's younger sister. Who else in the entire courtyard can do that?"
"Yi Zhonghai, didn't you two almost turn the world upside down before?"
“Jia Zhangshi, your son beat your daughter-in-law, and she still has injuries on her body. How dare you still compete for this award?”
"And Liu Haizhong, his three sons go out to fight every day. This is not only because the children are ignorant, but also because your hometown has not managed them well."
"Look at the He family. Although they don't have a hometown, He Hongyang is the head of the family. Not only is the couple harmonious, but he also loves and cares for his younger siblings. If we don't give this family the title of 'Five-Good Family,' what kind of family should we give it to!"
"This award was selected by the Military Control Office after careful consideration. Are you saying that the Military Control Office's eyes are not as sharp as yours? Are we, as leaders, not as thoughtful as you?" Qian said.
67. All the women in the hospital had stars in their eyes.
Everyone fell silent.
Although I still harbor resentment, Zhang Dajun is right!
My own home is certainly not perfect.
Looking at the He family, they are indeed much stronger than them!
Just look at how desperately they defended their eldest brother—that's something none of them have done.
Before Jia Zhangshi could speak, Qin Huairu grabbed her arm.
"Stop talking. It's just too embarrassing. This award is given by the judges, not contested. They've already decided to give it to the He family. Do you think you can win it with just a few words?"
Madam Jia rolled her eyes at her: "You're siding with outsiders! Our Jia family was truly blind to have married a daughter-in-law like you."
"I was blind to marry into your family. The man is incompetent, and the mother-in-law is even more incompetent."
They were just questioning the He family.
Now their family is having internal strife.
He Hongyang accepted the certificate of merit from Zhang Dajun.
He said to everyone.
"This is an encouragement from the military control office. From now on, our He family will set an example in the courtyard and live a good life."
"Wow—"
The next applause was followed by 104 rounds of applause.
He handed the certificate to Wang Liying.
"This award is all thanks to my wife; it should belong to her!"
Wang Liying never expected that he would praise her in front of so many people.
My heart soared with joy.
I was both touched and happy.
8. She is a daughter-in-law of the He family, and doing these things is her duty.
