The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Li Yuan returned home, took out 4 eggs from the Jiugong grid, put them in a big bowl, and sent them to Shazhu's house.

"Brother, I'm not polite to you either. I'll keep the things."

This scene was all seen by Matchmaker Wang, and she was even more satisfied with Li Yuan.

Eggs are usually very valuable and are in short supply. Not to mention that it is winter and eggs are in short supply. Many women in confinement have a hard time getting it.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan took out 4 pills at a time, which were much larger than those seen on the market.

"Brother Zhuzi, don't be busy with other things, do your business first." Li Yuan pulled He Yuzhu to the kang table, and he sat on the edge of the kang with a silly smile.

"Aunt Wang, take another pile," Li Yuan reminded the two of them when they saw Matchmaker Wang taking out the much different pile of photos.

Matchmaker Wang smiled coquettishly and took out the stack of better photos of girls from another pocket.

He Yuzhu took it, thanked him, and turned it over quickly.

"It's her!" He Yuzhu took out one and slapped it on the table.

Li Yuan and Matchmaker Wang looked at each other, and then looked at each other.

Matchmaker Wang introduced the woman's situation to He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu didn't change his mind at all.

"Okay, no problem, it's her."

"You have to think about it!" Li Yuan reminded.

"I'm just a layman, and I just like beautiful things. I can't help it, otherwise I would have found it long ago. There is no problem with the gift money, but I don't have a bicycle ticket now, so I have to slow down."

"That big family is a big drag. Brother Zhuzhu shouldn't think about it carefully." Li Yuan really didn't want him to get into trouble later.

He Yuzhu and Matchmaker Wang both looked at Li Yuan in surprise.

"Brother, how can their family become a burden to me?"

"You are not allowed to help their family. Life is so difficult now." Li Yuan was a little confused.

"Media Wang..., no, Aunt Wang, please tell this little brat, I'm going to cook." He Yuzhu said a word and turned to leave.

"Hahaha..." Matchmaker Wang seemed to have just figured it out. She laughed up and down, up and down, and it took a long time to stop laughing.

"Xiao Li, there is a saying that a married daughter is like water thrown out. It means that once a daughter gets married, she is like water thrown out and no longer has any relationship with her mother's family.

From now on, she will be a member of her husband's family, so she must focus on caring for her husband and raising children. She needs the permission of her husband's family to return to her parents' home and bring gifts."

As a woman, Matchmaker Wang answered naturally.

This made Li Yuan feel incredible. Could it be that the values ​​​​of the two worlds were so different. As a person with modern education, Li Yuan found it difficult to understand.

Observing words and deeds and discussing one's thoughts have always been a matchmaker's special skills. Matchmaker Wang could see Li Yuan's incomprehension.

"You should have heard the saying "losing money", because no matter how good the daughter is, she is still training her husband's family, and it is a losing business.

When you marry, you become a relative. To put it bluntly, the betrothal gift is like paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand. Once you buy it, you will leave it and never return it.

In the days to come, helping is a matter of affection and not helping is a duty.”

Only today did Li Yuan truly understand why Chinese people are so obsessed with having sons. It seems that it is not only to carry on the family line, but also to raise children to provide for old age.

As a soul from the future, he experienced this cold patriarchal custom for the first time. Even a woman takes this for granted.

His mood was only depressed for a while, and then he felt relieved. Everything would be different in the future.

In the future, women's status will rise to the point of becoming the invisible head of the family, and there will be countless doting wives.

It is even more perverted to the point that the feminist movement has led to men and women touching each other on the subway due to crowding. In order to reduce the damage, the man will directly attack the woman.

At most, they will be detained and fined a small amount of money. It would be better if it is classified as a fight.

But once you are found guilty of sexual harassment, you will not only be subject to a hefty fine, but you may also be imprisoned.

One drink and one peck, fate arises and fate perishes, cause and effect cycle, retribution is unpleasant.

He Yuyu was not seen during the meal. Li Yuan asked strangely and learned that she had activities at school this week.

Li Yuan, who wanted to leave, was rudely left behind by He Yuzhu.

Because it was the weekend, He Yuzhu took out a bottle of liquor.

"Xiao Yuanzi, you are in for a treat today. This is good wine, Xinghuacun Fenjiu. It tastes great."

"Aunt Wang, please have some too," He Yuzhu said tentatively.

"Get it right!" Matchmaker Wang said very simply.

The three of them had just had a few bites when they heard a knock on the door. He Yuzhu opened the door and was greeted by the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

"Oh, I ate it, and there are eggs! Silly Zhuzhu, there is delicious food, why did you forget me, the old woman?"

The deaf old lady didn't show any politeness, she climbed up onto the kang smoothly, moved to the kang table, and sat down in the main seat.

Matchmaker Wang was unhappy, but she knew the prestige of the deaf old lady in the compound and on the streets, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes and greeted her awkwardly.

"Oh, it's you!" The deaf old lady seemed to have just seen Matchmaker Wang, and Matchmaker Wang didn't dare to react.

He Yuzhu hurriedly brought two pairs of bowls and chopsticks and placed Yi Zhonghai on Mrs. Long's left side.

The seats at this time were the deaf old lady taking the main seat, Yi Zhonghai the main companion, Matchmaker Wang the deputy companion, and Li Yuan and Silly Zhu sitting at the bottom seat together.

The entire place was jointly controlled by the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

Because the original owner didn't understand these twists and turns when he was young, and after working, he didn't bother to participate. He was more like a little transparent, just listening to orders.

Today, Li Yuan saw this kind of situation for the first time. He watched with cold eyes, waiting for the development of the matter, and also wanted to see how He Yuzhu responded.

Yi Zhonghai took out a 2-pound food stamp from his jacket pocket and put it in front of He Yuzhu, "This belongs to me and the old lady."

He Yuzhu said nothing, but smiled and poured a full glass of wine for Yi Zhonghai.

The deaf old lady was not polite, picked up a chopstick and put the egg in her mouth, chewed it slowly, smiled and nodded frequently.

He Yuzhu took a large piece, put it into Yi Zhonghai's bowl, and invited Matchmaker Wang to eat and drink.

After eating a few bites of vegetables and drinking three glasses of wine, Yi Zhonghai put down his bowl and chopsticks. The deaf old lady still held the bowl and ate the stewed vegetables and soaked white flour steamed buns, which tasted just right.

"Wang Matchmaker, it seems that today I am introducing a partner to Zhuzi. How about it? Is there anyone suitable?" Yi Zhonghai smiled gently.

Matchmaker Wang took out a handkerchief from a small pocket on her waist, wiped her mouth gently, and said slowly: "Master Yi, it's a coincidence that today, after introducing Xiao Li, I will also introduce a good wife to Comrade He Yuzhu.

Fortunately, Comrade He Yuzhu actually fell in love with her." After saying that, he looked at Yi Zhonghai with a smile and glanced at the deaf old lady from the corner of his eyes.

"This is a great thing. Zhuzi is about to become a poor household. As the elder of the courtyard, he has always attached great importance to Zhuzi's marriage. Tell me, whose girl is this girl?" Yi Zhonghai's expression became more cordial.

Matchmaker Wang briefly introduced the girl, but she was cautious and did not tell her her address.

When it came to the bride price, Yi Zhonghai frowned. He picked up the photo, looked at it for a few times, and handed it to the old lady.

The deaf old lady looked at it for a few times and said, "I was so dazzled that I couldn't see clearly." She picked up the bowl and continued to eat the vegetables in small bites.

"This is nonsense. This is selling your daughter. What kind of good woman can such a family teach?"
