Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Holding White Rabbit milk candies in their mouths, Yu's father and mother laughed loudly and answered Aunt You's question: "Sweet, very sweet." This meant they were very satisfied with the engagement gift.

The next thing was to decide on the wedding date for Sha Zhu and Yu Li. Sha Zhu wanted to do it quickly, marry Yu Li home early, and live a sweet and happy life.

Yu's mother was not happy about it, so she wanted to keep the girl for a few more days, using the excuse of preparing a few quilts.

Finally, both parties decided on May 4, the first day of the fourth lunar month, which is a good date for getting married, traveling, moving into a new house, taking up a new job, praying, burying, offering sacrifices, repairing, adopting children, praying for children, and fasting and offering sacrifices to pray for wealth.

After setting the date, Master Sun asked the other party whether they had any requirements for betrothal gifts and whether they needed some furniture or something.

Yu's mother said, "Life is difficult now. The children will have many places to spend money in the future. We should save as much as possible. We don't care about so much. Only Yuzhu treats my Lili well and loves her more than anything else."

Master Sun laughed out loud and was even more satisfied with the home. Zhuzi felt like he had found a treasure.

As for the wedding banquet, it is impossible to have one. In the years of famine, everyone is tightening their belts to survive. How can you have the nerve to eat and drink so much? Where do all the ingredients come from? Be careful that people will be jealous and sue you for speculation. Just give some candies, peanuts and melon seeds to the neighbors.

Finally, Master Sun took out a red envelope and solemnly handed it to Yu's father with both hands, saying, "My dear relatives, you two are very generous. You didn't ask for this or that and made things difficult for the children. You were all thinking about the two children. As Zhuzi's elder, I want to thank you on behalf of my brothers who are away from home and on behalf of Zhuzi. This is a betrothal gift for your family. Please accept this kindness and don't refuse it."

Father Yu also took the red envelope with both hands, secretly feeling its thickness and weight. This betrothal gift was really not light. "Since it is a betrothal gift, I will not refuse it. We will prepare it for them when they need it."

After finishing their business, the elders started chatting. Hearing that Master Sun was indeed the master chef of Fengze Garden, Yu's father asked, "I heard that Premier Zhou and General Zhu sometimes went to Fengze Garden to entertain foreign guests. Have you ever met the Premier and General Zhu?"

Master Sun knew that these were matters that needed to be kept secret, so he just smiled and said that they were welcome to have dinner at Fengze Garden, where he would personally cook some delicious dishes for them.

When they heard that Master Sun invited them to have dinner at Fengze Garden, Yu's father and mother were very happy. It turned out that Master Sun did not treat them as outsiders.

The next day at work, Sha Zhu announced the good news to everyone in the cafeteria. Ma Hua congratulated the master on getting married soon, and squad leader Zhao congratulated Sha Zhu on the triple happiness. Everyone was puzzled, so squad leader Zhao also announced that Sha Zhu would take over his squad leader position and was approved to be promoted to level 7 cook. For a while, everyone clamored for Sha Zhu to treat them. Although he couldn't treat guests, he still had peanuts, melon seeds and candies. He took out the prepared things and distributed some to everyone, so that everyone could share in the joy.

People are in high spirits when they are happy. Today is Saturday and Yu Shui is going home to spend the weekend. Yu Li is going to the courtyard to meet everyone. We are engaged, so we have to make everyone happy, right? No matter whether others are happy or not, as long as Sha Zhu thinks he is happy, it's fine.

After work, I went to buy two packs of snacks and went to Yu's house to pick up Yu Li. The more gifts, the less blame. When I entered the house, I put the things on the table. Although it was not much, I didn't go empty-handed.

When Yu's mother saw her future son-in-law, she smiled so hard that her eyes could not be seen. When she saw Sha Zhu put down his things, she immediately said, "We don't lack anything at home. You should save some and don't waste money."

Sha Zhu said hurriedly: "It looks good on the road. If you get hungry at night, it will be just right for you to eat."

"If you're hungry at night, just bear with it. You won't be hungry when you fall asleep. There's no need for all this. But you're thoughtful." Yu's mother quickly called Yu Li out.

Yu Li had discussed with Sha Zhu yesterday about going to the Siheyuan today, mainly to meet her future sister-in-law. So she was dressing herself up in the house. It was her first time to appear in front of everyone in the Siheyuan. She heard that there was a beautiful young widow next door to Sha Zhu's house. If she was outdone, it would be very embarrassing.

Yu Li combed her hair smooth and silky, and braided it into a thick braid, which matched her twinkling eyes perfectly. She smeared fragrant Pechoin on her face, wore a white shirt jacket, khaki Lenin suit, black pants, and shallow black cloth shoes. She looked energetic and capable.

Sha Zhu and Yu Li walked into the courtyard side by side. The third uncle just happened to be watering the flowers at the door after get off work.

Sha Zhu, who was in a particularly good mood today, introduced Yu Li to the third uncle, who congratulated Sha Zhu repeatedly.

But what Sha Zhu was thinking in his heart was: Look, this used to be your daughter-in-law, and now she is mine.

The good mood made Sha Zhu give a suggestion to the third uncle: Don’t plant flowers if the year is bad. Wouldn’t it be better to plant some edible things?

The third uncle laughed silly and said, "You have never farmed before. The fertilizer in the flowerpot is not enough for the crops to grow well, and the fruits will not be plump."

Sha Zhu said: "Guarding the toilet outside, what fertility is not enough."

"Hey, it's true." The third uncle suddenly realized, "It's March, there's no delay in planting. I'll start now." So the third uncle began to dig the flowers and prepare to plant vegetables and crops.

While they were talking, the third aunt and other people in the front yard also saw Yu Li who came in with Sha Zhu. After listening to Sha Zhu's introduction, they started chatting with Yu Li. Some people also went into the middle yard and the back yard to promote Sha Zhu.

The eldest uncle, the eldest aunt, the second uncle and the second aunt, Qin Jingru, Xu Damao, Lou Xiaoe, and other neighbors have all come out. There haven't been any new people in the yard for many years (newborn children not counting).

Everyone said congratulations to Sha Zhu, but no one knew what they were thinking. Women of Yu Li's age finally had a new comrade, and now they had one more person to share their gossip with, so their happiness doubled, and they were overjoyed.

The old man looked at Yu Li, feeling both happy and anxious. He was happy that Zhuzi finally got married, which was a good thing, but this was not the person he had chosen. He was not familiar with the person, so it was hard to say whether he could become a caregiver for him and his wife. If he could not succeed, what would he do? Qin Huairu, a woman, could not succeed. Her penis was too small and unstable. He was worried, and his hair turned white.

The second uncle looked at Yu Li and felt indignant. He thought that Sha Zhu had found such a beautiful wife. It was like a flower stuck in cow dung. It was disgusting. However, the second uncle did not understand that flowers growing on cow dung would be more beautiful and eye-catching because of the fertility.

Qin Jingru was puzzled. Everyone else had come out, but her cousin was unwilling to come out. She pretended to be taking care of the children in the house and looked out through the window from time to time. Wouldn't it be better if she could come out and see? Looking at Yu Li, Qin Jingru silently complained: Tsk, she is not as young as me, and her headlights are not as big as mine. She is so stupid that she is willing to marry a fool. She must be mentally ill.

The jealousy in Xu Damao's eyes almost turned into a tangible flame that burned Sha Zhu to death. However, when Sha Zhu looked at him, he quickly lowered his head and thought to himself: I must find a way to break them up. It's a pity for such a beautiful girl to marry Sha Zhu. I want to get her. Sha Zhu, you big fool, you can still dream about getting married. I can ruin this matter with just one move. Let's wait and see.
