Siheyuan: If you have the butcher's knife in your hand, let's try again.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the New Year’s Eve.

On this day, Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing got up early.

Get up and start cleaning.

I cleaned the house thoroughly. It was spotless and made me feel comfortable just looking at it.

After cleaning up, Lin Bai started to make paste.

I'm getting married next week, so I have to put happy words on the windows and doors.

Lin Bai was holding the paste, and Xu Mengjing was in charge of pasting the happy words.

"Put one on every window, and also on the door."

Xu Mengjing nodded and stuck them one by one.

In order not to stick to it crookedly, Lin Bai stood watching from a distance and gave guidance at any time.

After posting it, looking around, it looked festive.

"Okay, Mengjing, tidy up, it's time to go to the market for shopping."

I'm getting married next week and have invited many friends and family to come.

Naturally, we need to entertain them well, purchase ingredients and so on.

Just as he was about to enter the house, Qin Huairu's door creaked.

Then, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu came out.

Although the two are getting married next week, Jia Dongxu has been sleeping on the floor.

After so long, Qin Huairu still wouldn't let him get close.

When they saw Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing, they looked away.

They both noticed the happy words posted on Lin Bai's and Xu Mengjing's homes.

After walking out of the backyard, Qin Huairu murmured: "Is it possible that they are getting married soon?"

"I think so, otherwise why would you post a happy message?"

Qin Huairu thought to herself, what a coincidence, we are getting married soon, and they are getting married too.

She is quite strict about her words and has not announced her plans to get married. She only found out when the wedding was approaching.

"They have posted it, so we must also post it, even more than they have posted."

"it is good……"

"Don't just say yes, go buy the happy words now."

"But...the salary and bonus haven't come yet."

"How long has this been going on? I haven't come down yet. I'm so anxious."

"Huairu, don't worry, I heard it will be down tomorrow. I will go to the factory to have a look tomorrow."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt better.

"Dongxu, when you get the money, you have to buy me a dowry. Don't regret it."

"Huai Ru, definitely. However, after buying the dowry, I don't have to sleep on the ground anymore, right?!"

Tiantian and Qin Huairu were so close together, and they had to sleep on the floor, Jia Dongxu was really frustrated.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him, stretched out her hand and nodded her head.

"Look at you, Sebozi, what have you been thinking about all day long."

The two came to Jia's house and told Jia Zhang that Lin Bai and Xu Meng were getting married.

"Oh...and this, why haven't I heard of it?"

Mr. Jia Zhang loves to inquire about family affairs, and he knows all the trivial matters of every family.

Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing are getting married. This is the first time Jia Zhang has heard about it.

I don’t know the exact time of their marriage.

If the wedding time with Jia Dongxu coincides, it will be troublesome.

If the people in the courtyard were called away by him, Jia Dongxu's wedding would not be lively.

In order to grab people, Jia Zhang asked Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to quickly invite people in the courtyard to attend the wedding next week.

Lest it be too late and Lin Bai takes the lead.

Jia Zhang herself went to the courtyard to find out when Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing were going to get married.

After asking around, no one knew when Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing got married.

Because they didn't invite people in the courtyard to the wedding at all, they didn't tell them.

While Jia Zhang was inquiring, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu went door to door to invite people to attend the wedding next week.

Everyone is happy to have a delicious meal at the wedding and promises to come when the time comes.

After the invitation was over, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu returned home. Jia Zhang asked, "Have you invited them all?"

"Mom, I've invited everyone. Except for the second uncle, everyone agreed to come."

"That's good!"

the other side.

After Xu Mengjing and Lin Bai posted happy words, they went to the market.

This trip was not only to purchase ingredients, but also to find two builders.

Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing's homes were next to each other, with a wall in between.

I need to call an architect to demolish it.

After being demolished, the space will be larger, which will be more convenient when getting married.

After arriving at the market, Yu Haitang was already waiting.

The two of them were responsible for purchasing ingredients, and Lin Bai was responsible for finding an architect.

Lin Bai found two masters, negotiated the price, and took them back to work first.

After a busy day, I finally opened up the middle wall.

Now, Lin Bai's and Xu Mengjing's rooms were connected together, making a total of four rooms.

It is the family with the most courtyard houses.

As soon as the master was sent to the door, Xu Mengjing and Yu Haitang came back.

The two of them were carrying large and small bags of ingredients in their hands and on their backs.

Although we won’t get married until next week, we need to prepare first.

It's winter now, so you can buy more ingredients without worrying about spoilage.

The weight of the things made the two of them breathless, so Lin Bai quickly took over.

"Haitang, thank you for your hard work!"

"Anyway, Mengjing is my best friend. As a friend, of course I will help her get married."

The three of them returned to the house talking and laughing, and Qin Huairu lay behind the window and saw it.

"Dongxu, look, they bought a lot of ingredients, including vegetables and meat."

Jia Dongxu came to the window and saw it too.

"It's different for a wealthy family to buy so many things."

"Dongxu, we also need to buy some things so that we can invite relatives and friends to have a feast on the wedding day."

"Huairu, we don't need to worry about this, my mother will take care of it."

"Tell your mother to prepare the banquet better. I have to call my parents too."

Qin Huairu has been away from the village for so many years and has never been back.

After getting married this time, I have to go back and call my parents to the city to show them the future of my woman.

If you marry someone and come to the city, let them live in the city for ten days and a half and enjoy the happiness.

"Okay, I haven't met my uncle and aunt yet."

"Aren't you going to pay out the bonus tomorrow? We'll go back the day after tomorrow and invite my parents over."

"Okay, listen to you."

Early the next morning, Jia Dongxu went to the factory to collect his year-end bonus.

He was punished this year and asked for leave many times.

Others' bonuses and benefits are more than 200, and some even more than 300.

And he only has 120 yuan.

This little money is enough for the New Year.

As for the dowry Qin Huairu wants, this amount of money is not enough.

After receiving the money, Jia Dongxu braved the wind and snow and returned to Qin Huairu's house.

Qin Huairu was eager to get the dowry and had been impatient for a long time.

Seeing that he was back, he hurriedly opened the door and welcomed him in.

"Dongxu, how much did you receive?"

"Here, it's all here."

Jia Dongxu took out the 120 yuan in his pocket and put it all in her hand.

"One hundred and two? Why so little!"

"Originally there were more than 200, but after being punished and asked for leave, that's all we have left."

"How can you buy a dowry with such a small amount of money?!"

It was only one hundred and two yuan, which made Qin Huairu very disappointed.

She looked forward to the stars, the moon, and the day when the bonus would be paid out.

A bonus was given so that she could buy a dowry.

Who knows, there is only so much money.

I definitely can’t buy all the dowry I want.

"Huai Ru, when the new year comes, I will work actively and earn more money, so I can buy you a dowry."

"Humph, I don't want to wait so long."

Jia Dongxu had promised before that he would buy a dowry after receiving bonuses at the end of the year.

Qin Huairu was naturally unhappy that he had broken his promise and had to delay it again.

"Huairu, just be patient. I will definitely do what I promised you."

When Qin Huairu thought about it, he was in trouble.

In order to marry me, he gave me all his family's money.

There is indeed no money.

"Then... okay, I will accept this money first and buy part of the dowry first."

As he said that, he put all the money in his pocket.

Jia Dongxu looked anxious.

This money was not actually given to her, it was kept for the New Year.

She took them all and had no money to buy new year's goods. How was she going to spend this year?

Even so, Jia Dongxu didn't dare let her take out a penny.

She was unhappy to begin with, and asking her to pay for it was no different from plucking a tiger's hair. It would irritate her.
