Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Early Monday morning, Qingshan went to the section chief's office.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Please come in!"

"Chief, I'm getting married this week and came to ask where I can get a letter of introduction." Liu Qingshan said as he walked in!

"Qingshan, you're getting married so soon. That's great. Just go to the Personnel Department for the letter of introduction. So how are you going to use your three days of wedding leave?"

"I'm getting married on Friday. I plan to take three days off, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and come back to work on Monday. Is that okay with you, Chief?"

"Okay, no problem. Just put your work aside for now and don't overwork yourself. We'll deal with those things next week."

"Chief, I need to take two hours off tomorrow morning to get a marriage certificate."

"Okay, go ahead. Try to come back early, it won't count as your leave."

"Thank you, Chief. I'll go to the Personnel Department."

I trotted all the way to the personnel department.

After saying hello to Section Chief Song, the marriage certificate was quickly obtained.

……

Early Tuesday morning, Liu Qingshan arrived at Feng Yu's house and waited. Both parents had met and the marriage was settled, so there was no need to wait outside and he came in early in the morning.

"Xiaoyu, have you got your letter of introduction?

"Well, it's open. Let's go early. I'll take a short break."

"I applied for three days of wedding leave, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday off. Have you asked for leave from your company?"

"I'm also welcome."

"Get in the car, I'll take you there."

……

After completing the marriage formalities at the street office and receiving the marriage certificate, it is actually just a certificate.

At the same time, I received 16 feet of cloth coupons and a cotton wool coupon issued by the street office for purchasing a quilt.

"Wife, we are a family now, call me husband."

"You wish. Send me to work quickly."

"Okay, let's go, wife."

"Virtue!"

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and Feng Yu blushed as she went to work. The two agreed to go get the clothes together on Thursday.

……

Early Thursday morning, Liu Qingshan rode his bike to pick up Feng Yu, and the two went to a department store together to use their marriage certificate to buy a quilt cover, a mosquito net, and an enamel washbasin.

Liu Qingshan remembered that Feng Yu hadn't bought shoes yet, so he took him to buy a pair of red leather shoes. You know what, Zhou Ji's big sister has a really good eye.

The two of them walked around and bought some other items before returning home. They first sent the items to Feng Yu's home and planned to bring them back when they got married.

The day before yesterday, Feng Yu gave all the cloth and cotton coupons issued by the street office to her mother. Today, the quilts are ready and will be given to the young couple as a dowry.

At noon, Feng Yu and I had a bite at Feng’s house, and then we set off to Zhou Ji.

"Is the eldest sister here? Let's get the clothes."

"Who is it? I'm here, I'm here!"

When the eldest sister saw that the two of them came together, she immediately thought of something and burst out laughing.

"Would you two like to look at some clothes?"

The two looked at each other, with a flicker in their eyes.

"Sister, take out the clothes first and try them on for her to see if they fit her."

"Okay, sit down for a while, I'll get it for you in the next few days."

The elder sister took out a few clothes from the top. Feng Yu was stunned. Wasn't it a red shirt? How did it become white? What happened to the extra red suit?

Feng Yu stared at Liu Qingshan with a puzzled look and said, "You came here to change it later? Why are you spending money recklessly?"

Liu Qingshan looked at the black pants and said, "Are these pants mine too?"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds and laughed. Liu Qingshan couldn't help but pull Feng Yu over and hugged him. What a good girl.

"There are other people here! Don't do this." Feng Yu stomped her feet shyly and broke free from the embrace.

They both tried on the clothes and were very satisfied.

After returning home, Feng Yu couldn't wait to change his clothes, put on new shoes, and stood in front of the small mirror, looking at himself.

"Sister, you're almost there. I've been raising my hand for so long! Wear it in front of your brother-in-law tomorrow." Xiao Lei said with a look of disgust!

"You're itching for trouble, aren't you? Is it because your sister is getting married and you think I can't control you anymore? Hmm!!"

"Sister, I was wrong. You look so beautiful today. What Fang Xiaoya wore at her wedding in the courtyard is nothing compared to what you wore. Brother-in-law is really good to you."

"Humph, I guess you are sensible."

Early Friday morning.

Liu Qingshan changed into the new clothes Feng Yu bought for him, had breakfast, and when the time was almost up, he rode his bike to Wannian Hutong.

"Xiaoyu, I'm here to take you home." Liu Qingshan said loudly standing at the door of Feng's house!

The bride came out. She was wearing a red suit and looked particularly dazzling today. After drinking a cup of tea, the two of them went out.

When leaving the Li family, Feng Yu couldn't help crying. Finally, her mother-in-law comforted her that she was not far away and could come back anytime to visit, and Feng Yu stopped sobbing.

Father Feng turned his back and couldn't bear to watch his daughter get married.

The brother-in-law put the dowry on a borrowed bicycle, and the two rode the bicycles to Liu's house together.

When they got home, they sang red songs and took an oath together.

Liu Qingshan gave a red envelope to He Yuzhu and his wife who were busy preparing the dishes.

"Thank you, Brother Zhuzi. Leave one for the deaf old lady later."

"Qingshan, that's thoughtful, but you don't call any of the three uncles in your wedding courtyard. Is that appropriate?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you get married without asking for permission? Besides, I wouldn't hesitate to deal with these three brothers with their behavior."

"I guess right now, the three uncles are feeling upset and thinking about how to punish you in the future."

"I'm not afraid of them bullying me. After all, I have a big brother who is a soldier and defends our country. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll ask my dad to hang up the sign of the Home of Glory tomorrow."

"Will the gate of your courtyard be open today? Will it be closed forever?"

"There's a troublemaker in our backyard, and I'm afraid he'll bother my wife. We're getting married today, so I'll open the door and give everyone some wedding candy. From now on, everything in this compound will be like a movie."

"You've thought it through."

"No more chatting, everyone is here, I'll go to the reception for a while."

...

Yi Zhonghai's family.

"Old Yi! There's no one in the hospital to take care of us in our old age. What are we going to do in the future? How about we adopt a child? We've brought this child up since he was young and we have feelings for him. There are too many variables now. We can't wait any longer!"

"Hey, let me think about it. The atmosphere in this courtyard has changed. No one takes the manager seriously. I can't control it anymore. I can tolerate it! What do you think of Qin Huairu? She is filial. In the future..."

"Come on, you're a widow with three kids and a mother-in-law. Do you want us to help her? That Jia Zhang is lazy and greedy. What's the point of supporting her? If she doesn't drain us of our wealth, she's not an old hag."

"You stay at home. I'm going to go talk to the two old men."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai went out, he met Liu Haizhong who was holding a teacup. The two of them exchanged glances and went to the third uncle's house in the front yard.

"Old Liu, you're getting married in the backyard and not bringing us two to dinner. How come you didn't bring yourself either?" The third uncle came up and teased Liu Haizhong first.

"Okay, there's no need to talk about this now. We old brothers will have no prestige in this compound in the future. One is Shazhu, and the other is the Liu family. Neither of them is easy to deal with." Yi Zhonghai said earnestly.

What Liu Hai cares about most is the power of an official. He usually speaks in a pretentious tone: "We have to wait for the right opportunity. We have no reason to do so now. Look at them, it's better if they don't fall into my hands. Otherwise, none of them will have a good life. Humph."

The three uncles sighed for a while and then went home.

The wedding banquet was over, and Liu Qingshan sent everyone away. He closed the door and returned to his room. Looking at Feng Yu, he felt excited.

"Wife, you look so beautiful today. Let's have a drink together and have a ceremony of our own. From now on, we will be a family."

"Okay, I'll go get the cups." After saying that, he stood up and went to the main room to get the remaining wine and two clean cups.

The two of them hooked their arms and drank the wedding wine.

Feng Yu went to fetch a washbasin, and the two of them washed up before going to bed.

At this moment, both of them were breathing much faster.

"Wife, let's go to bed!"

"Ok!"

The cicadas in midsummer chirped very clearly, sometimes gently, sometimes tortuously, covering up the beautiful spring scenery in the yard.
