The Ordinary Road of Siheyuan

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, November 11, the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar, is Thursday, the day when Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe get engaged.

The weather has turned cold, many people have started to put on cotton-padded clothes, and the pedestrians on the road have also quickened their pace. The autumn wind after the rain is like someone's slap, which makes no sense at all.

At the Capital Hotel, the engagement banquet, and the huge round table, there were only the Lou family and the Xu family and a few people, all of whom were Father Lou's best business partners and friends. In short, there is no harm in keeping a low profile.

Xu Damao was strictly ordered to drink less, except toast.

The atmosphere at the wine table was still very cheerful. No matter how unwilling Lou's father was, his daughter would always marry. Lou's mother was still very optimistic about Xu Damao.

Lou's father's friends naturally received a lot of blessings and compliments, and Xu's father showed the old fried dough stick's nature to the fullest!

The banquet is over, and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

An engagement banquet cost 380 yuan, which can be described as sky-high.

For the sake of face and for the sake of his son, Xu's father gritted his teeth and rushed to pay the bill. The Lou family naturally did not lack this little money, and the old Xu's family thought more about just one daughter.

………………

After a few days of hard work, He Yuzhu finally reached an agreement with the system and ordered a tractor!

In the space, He Yuzhu looked at a brand new Dongfanghong tractor with mixed feelings in his heart!

System, are you kidding me? I just turned over 5 acres of land. I have been busy for more than a month, and you agreed just after finishing the work.

Complaining is useless, try to start sowing seeds.

After working for a while, He Yuzhu was quite happy at the moment, and divided the land into four pieces.

A vegetable field can be planted with all kinds of vegetables, so you don’t have to worry about having no vegetables to eat. In the era without greenhouses, the bitterness in the mouth is even more bitter in the heart.

One piece of grain, sweet potato, wheat, corn, that's all.

The seeds were collected in the cafeteria and pigeon market recently, and the sowing cannot be completed in a day or two. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it has reached the second step, so hurry up!
One piece is used as a breeding farm, raising some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and so on, just enough food to feed them.

Let's use it as our own leisure and entertainment place, and get some old-fashioned furniture or something.

Wow ha ha ha ha!
He Yuzhu wanted to sing a song, but also wanted to play an opera, but his head was empty, he couldn't remember it at the moment, he just laughed nervously.

The next day, everyone in the courtyard found out about Xu Damao's engagement, and everyone discussed and condemned Xu Damao!It's hard to believe that everyone only found out about such a big deal after the fact!
There are even some people who don't eat after get off work, but gather together, which is really exciting.

At the critical moment, the old man made the final decision, announcing that dinner will be served first, and that a general meeting of the hospital will be held in the evening.

This is the first hospital-wide meeting held for individuals this year. The front is collective. The first time is the New Year's Outlook, the second is the mid-year summary, and this time, it is the third time.

He Yuzhu packed up the dishes and told his sister to study hard and go out with a stool. The meeting was held at the door of the house, and the middle courtyard was the most spacious, and even a hundred people could stand if it was crowded.

Generally, only one member of the whole family can attend the general assembly, but in this era, there is no shortage of people who like to watch the excitement, and the good seats will be gone if you go late.

As soon as he went out, Jia Dongxu, a bastard, had already taken the lead with a stick, and the best seat was gone. He Yuzhu didn't want to sit next to Jia Dongxu, so he sat in the back.

After a while, the children of the third uncle's family and the second uncle's family ran to bring tables and chairs, and pulled a light bulb from the aisle for lighting.

Everyone arrived soon, and the three uncles came late, and sat on the long bench behind the table according to their size. The first uncle was in the middle, the second uncle was on the left, and the third uncle was on the right.

He Yuzhu wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. It's a trivial matter, and it's all about it!

That's called authentic!
According to the usual practice, the second uncle who did not have CCTV spoke first: "Cough, cough! Everyone be quiet, everyone knows this, the purpose of holding this general meeting today is to discuss the issue of Xu Damao. This Xu Damao , as a member of our compound, he got engaged privately, and the big guys in the compound don’t know, what does he want to do? Or is he not a member of our compound, do you know there are three of us! Let's take it seriously!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Damao, who was sitting on the side, stared like copper bells, choking on a few words from the second uncle, and didn't know where to refute.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was going on without a point, Yi Zhonghai subtly interjected.

"Well, originally, Xu Damao's engagement is a family matter, and we shouldn't care about it. However, in the past few years, everyone in our courtyard knows that many things have happened, no matter how big or small, they are all discussed. Why, because we are already a family, and we are all in the same boat, and we will help out when we are in trouble. It cannot be said that we will jump ship when life is better now, I think this is the reason why the big guys are dissatisfied with Xu Damao's private engagement."

"well said!"

There are always people who eat melons who don't know the truth and are willing to be a fan.

Xu Damao's eyes were almost turned to the sky, and he wanted to tell a few words for himself just now, but now he can't be corrected by the uncle, he is still a bit young, just 25, one year younger than He Yuzhu.

After the uncle finished speaking, the scene became chaotic again. Everyone accused Xu Damao one after another. The uncle picked up his thermos cup, leaned back slightly, and gently blew on the tea leaves that did not exist, as if an old monk was in meditation and didn’t care about it. Noisy crowd.

Not long after the hustle and bustle, the third master knew that it was time to play by himself, and he couldn't figure it out based on his ability to calculate the heavens and the earth. How could this matter be the only one to benefit from it, so let's bring the big guys together.

"Everyone, listen to me." The scene became a little quieter.

"What Xu Damao did is a bit inappropriate. Anyway, we all live in the same courtyard, and you are going to get married, and you still keep it from everyone. What's the matter, don't trust everyone, afraid that big guys will ruin your good deeds?"

Xu Damao, who was poked into a sore spot, couldn't bear it anymore. Xu Damao couldn't understand the position of the third master. How can Xu Damao's local products be given to the third master's family? The two should be a united front, but Xu Damao listened to this It was really harsh.

"I'm talking about the three uncles, you are too lenient. We don't like to treat guests when we are engaged in our courtyard. What can I do if I tell you? Yes! I planned to treat you to a good meal when I got married, but now Look, it's gone, I owe it! If you want to take advantage of me, there is no way!" Xu Damao almost burst into anger!
Seeing that things were about to get out of control, the first uncle was about to speak, but was snatched by the second uncle, who slammed the table hard!Immediately afterwards, he said loudly: "Xu Damao, you still haven't realized your mistake! Did everyone care about your meal? You figured it out, you are disrespecting the leadership and contempt for authority! You are..."

"Okay, okay," seeing that Liu Haizhong was about to go farther and farther off the road, Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped on the brakes.

"We will still live in the same courtyard in the future, and we will see each other when we look down. I still say the same thing, respect the old and love the young, unite and love each other, and don't be afraid of losing money. Losing money is a blessing."

After a pause, the uncle continued: "Xu Damao, don't be unconvinced. Are you and Lou Xiao'e going to live in this courtyard in the future? Some people came to the courtyard to inquire about you a while ago, did anyone speak ill of you?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao was obviously taken aback, and his expression quickly softened.

Seeing the change in Xu Damao's face, the uncle immediately followed: "Just as Xu Damao said, treat everyone to a good meal when Damao and Lou Xiao'e get married."

Xu Damao's face didn't change much, obviously acquiescing to this decision, the uncle finally came to make up for it, "As for tonight, everyone cares about you, Xu Damao, buy some candy for the courtyard tomorrow, and the meeting ends !"

The melon-eating crowd left the venue one after another, without giving Xu Damao a chance to refuse.

He Yuzhu next to him was full of fun. It seemed that he really couldn't underestimate others. In today's situation, he might have to stop cooking if he were replaced by him. After all the fights and fights, there was no one in the yard except He Daqing and Father Xu who had moved away. Opponent.
