Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Everyone in the Zeng family knows that they have a family heirloom.

There were three treasures in total. A gold necklace with a yellow stone was passed to Chen Yumei, and a gold ring inlaid with a red stone was passed to Ma Ping. The two married girls did not have any.

The last one, said to be the most valuable one, is a pair of bracelets. No one in the Zeng family has ever seen what they look like.

My grandmother told me that these three treasures were brought from her mother's home very old. When they were in the most difficult times, my grandmother and grandfather thought about exchanging the necklace and ring for food, but they didn't think of touching the bracelet. Later, they were all passed down with great difficulty.

"I guess grandma will pass the bracelet to my eldest sister-in-law," said Xiaohu.

No one cares about grandma's treasure. The Zeng family has a good family tradition in this regard.

"What bracelet? A luminous bracelet or an emerald bracelet?" Zeng Wangcai asked curiously.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Yumei's mood finally improved when she heard that her grandmother was going to arrange things for her son. She glared at her son and said, "You must keep even a blade of grass that grandma gave you."

"Mom, I don't mean anything else. I just asked because I'm curious." Zeng Wangcai was really curious. He had never had the chance to see such a treasure. He heard that Lou Xiao'e, who had not yet married into the family, had a family heirloom which was a luminous bracelet.

However, he was lucky enough to see a lot of "jade" in the tourist areas of later generations. They were sold for tens of thousands of yuan at any time. They looked very beautiful, but if you bought that kind of thing, you would be stupid. You spent tens of thousands to buy it, and the boss made tens of thousands of yuan with tears in his eyes...

At this time, there was a noise at the door. Grandma and Zhang Xiuzhi had finally arrived, and everyone went out to greet them.

I saw grandma carrying a small cloth bag, while Zhang Xiuzhi was carrying a big cloth bag in a depressed look. The two of them looked like they were fleeing from famine, one carrying valuables and the other carrying luggage.

"grandmother......"

"Wait a minute, it's too late, oh, it's too late..." Grandma hurriedly took down the bag and handed it to her grandson, "Take it, take it well, for the friend, there is no good wine at home, and pack up other gifts, hurry up..."

"Yes, I do, but Mom, why do you want the gift?" Zeng Youqian was puzzled.

"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me!"

"Hey, wait a moment, I'll get it."

Zeng Youqian didn't dare to disobey, he went into the house and got two bottles of Daqu from the cupboard. He didn't know what the old lady was going to do, but he obediently packed out another seven or eight kilograms of salted fish.

These two things combined are not a small amount nowadays.

"Take it, come on, follow me..." When grandma saw the things, she walked towards the central courtyard without stopping, followed by Zeng Youqian.

Zeng Wangcai was confused: "Xiuzhi, what's going on?"

"Grandma said that we should get married tomorrow!" Zhang Xiuzhi looked at the sky, not knowing whether she was helpless or shy.

"You agreed?" Zeng Wangcai was overjoyed.

Damn it, happiness comes so suddenly.

Zeng Wangcai looked at Zhang Xiuzhi, but was slapped by his mother.

"Stupid pig, your grandma would have done this if Xiuzhi hadn't agreed?" After teaching her son a lesson, Chen Yumei went to the Central Courtyard happily.

"You see, this is the situation." Zhang Xiuzhi spread her hands and said like a No. 23, "I didn't even have a chance to speak. The car bumped a little, and grandma said I nodded."

"Uh......"

Grandma, awesome, you understand.

Zeng Wangcai threw his grandmother's bag into the space and rushed to the central courtyard. He guessed what his grandmother was going to do.

But, even if we really get married, you can’t be so hasty. You have to at least wait until I’m ready... Bah, bah, bah, no, you have to wait until I’m sixteen.

Zeng Wangcai rushed to the central courtyard and saw that grandma had already arrested Sha Zhu.

"Master He, thank you for your hard work. My grandson is getting married tomorrow. Please help me prepare a banquet with ten or eight tables..."

"Mom, mom, mom, wait a minute..." Zeng Youqian was startled. What era was it? There were ten or eight tables. "I'm sorry, silly pig. The old lady is so happy. Just pretend you didn't hear it..."

"No, Uncle Qian, even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have friendship. We have an agreement that I will be the chef for Wangcai's wedding, so these things will be fine today..." Sha Zhu shouted at Zeng Youqian's back.

A few minutes later, grandma was brought back to Zeng's house and sat in the seat.

Grandma was still unhappy about being forced to come back, and she was talking about her arrangements in detail: "Ten or eight tables are not many, please invite relatives and friends, I have calculated everything. Because of family reasons, Xiuzhi's family members are not here. The Huo family is her family. She married from our village. I can go back after I have arranged it here. Tell Li Baotian quickly, otherwise it will be too late to prepare the dishes.

"Don't worry about the money. The eldest grandson of our Zeng family cannot be shabby. Besides, we can't let Xiuzhi down. If Xiuzhi hadn't said that we didn't need anyone from his family, I wouldn't be so anxious..."

Except for Chen Yumei who thought that grandma was right, everyone else remained silent.

It's already evening, and the wedding can only be arranged in one night?

Everyone looked at Zeng Wangcai and Zhang Xiuzhi, knowing that these two were the only ones who could persuade grandma.

"Grandma, we really don't have enough time..." Zeng Wangcai thought of a plan, "How about this, Xiuzhi and I settle this first. Besides, we need a household registration to get married, otherwise how can we get the certificate? Wait until I am more stable in the army, then I can have a wedding leave. Otherwise, it's too hasty, and the order to march out may come down at any time. We may have to leave before we even have a drink, which is not good..."

The grandmother was so anxious, worried about her grandson, and wanted him to get married first and have a child. But what the grandson said now made sense, and she was indeed too anxious.

But grandma couldn't bring herself to say something like consummate the marriage first, as she felt that it would be disrespectful to Zhang Xiuzhi, who was already all alone here.

Zeng Wangcai said, and immediately went to see Zhang Xiuzhi: "Xiuzhi, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiuzhi was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.

"Okay, I get it. You've acquiesced. Look, grandma, Xiuzhi has already agreed..."

Zhang Xiuzhi: “???”

Grandma was happy again: "That's it, I was really wronged by the haste. Grandson, give me the bag I brought."

Zeng Wangcai took out a small bag and handed it to his grandmother. After his grandmother opened it, she carefully took out a smaller cloth bag.

The three layers inside and outside were opened, revealing a pair of jade bracelets filled with green.

"Xiuzhi, this is what I brought from my mother's home. It's been many years, and I'm passing it on to you now." Grandma pulled Zhang Xiuzhi's hand, who was lowering her head, and put the bracelets on one by one. "And this red satin quilt cover, the mandarin ducks on it were embroidered by grandma, and it will be used when you two get married;

"Xiuzhi, don't blame grandma for being obsessed and inconsiderate. Grandma had no choice just now. As for your family's affairs, grandma is going to express her position today. It is our Zeng family's business. Feel free to write to your dad and tell him about it. If he wants to find you, let him find you and we can settle this matter. Grandma doesn't want you to regret getting married without any family members. If the time comes, you can marry out of your family or our village..."

Zhang Xiuzhi couldn't hold back any longer after hearing what her grandmother said. She fell to her knees, lying on her grandmother's lap, and said with tears in her eyes, "Grandma, Xiuzhi will listen to you. Xiuzhi will write a letter and marry someone from our village..."
