Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Although Liu Haizhong did not believe in the weird legend, he still took a chopstick, picked up a piece of crispy radish and put it in his mouth to try it. He almost choked and was speechless.

So he slammed the chopsticks in his hand and shouted to the fat chef who was busy beside him, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The fat man raised his eyelids helplessly: "I have mastered Shazhu's unique cooking skills!"

Hearing the words "unique technique", Liu Haizhong was suspicious and asked, "What exactly is that technique?"

The fat chef explained: "When cooking, remember not to touch the knife with your fingers, and don't touch the bottom of the pot before turning the spoon!"

Liu Haizhong's expression suddenly became solemn, "I see, I understand..."

It turned out that he felt that he had been fooled from beginning to end. Therefore, after the banquet, he tied a knot in the column of money paid to the fat man to indicate that he had not paid a penny.

"Chef Li, you are going too far! This is very rude~"

Just as the fat chef was about to get angry, Liu Hai picked up the hoe beside him and glared at the fat man, "How dare you, a bastard who pretends to be a big shot, ask us for your salary?"

This sentence frightened the fat man so much that he strode away and even ran out of the crowd. He was full of doubts. Why couldn't his cooking skills be perfectly displayed? He always felt that it was all because Liu Haizhong was too frugal. If he bought more meat ingredients, the dishes on the table would definitely be more tempting and delicious.

What was even more unexpected was that the large basins and sanitary buckets that Jia Zhang brought were originally intended to be used as containers for food, but they were not used much because even the food in them was not liked by mice, let alone diners!

This scene adds a bit of drama and unexpected plot to the whole story.

Qin Huairu secretly rejoiced over all this. The food in the toilet was really frightening and hard to swallow.

This month is the era of ** mass production. Everyone is racing against time, working together to build a new China, and working hard, even on holidays. At about 2:15 in the afternoon, all the guests had left.

Aunt Liu, He Yuze and the three elder sisters began to clean up the room, and the various furniture placed outside were cleared away after the banquet. The dirt on the ground was also cleaned with water by Yan Bugui and the others. Everything looked clean and orderly, just like new. Even the leftovers were taken back to their respective residences by the tenants for future use. Anyway, these were the business of each family.

After Li Erma and Li Si's siblings left, night gradually fell. Before the rioters who were going to make trouble in the bridal chamber showed up, the young couple quietly slipped into the inner room and calculated the gifts.

"A celadon teacup, given by Director Xing of the locomotive section."

"There is a Chinese character for 'Fu' on the back of a vase. It is a gift from my neighbor Uncle Zhou."

“A kettle.”

“The second kettle.”

“There is a third kettle.”

Chen Xiaomei looked at the three kettles on the ground, then looked at the only pair in her house, feeling a little confused and asked, "When will it be our turn to put these things away?"

"This kind of durable item can be used for more than ten years without any problems. It is enough for both of us to use until we are old and gray."

Li Sanpang answered seriously.

"What a great idea."

The little girl felt extremely sweet in her heart and she obediently placed all three kettles in the cupboard.

"This is the dowry my father left me. Now that you are the head of the family, you will be in charge of these three items."

Before anyone could react, Chen Xiaomei took out a bunch of keys from her underwear, inserted them into the old copper lock, and gently turned it.

With a "click" sound, the copper lock was opened.

Chen Xiaomei carefully took off the copper lock and opened the lid, revealing a layer of emerald green silk lining.

When she gently lifted the silk, Li Sanpang's eyes lit up and he was immediately attracted by the dazzling golden luster inside.

"What is in here? Why is it so gorgeous? Is it full of small gold?"

Li Sanpang had long anticipated that Chen Minghua would not do anything wrong, but he did not expect that he would use all his savings as a dowry for his daughter. A small sewing workshop is enough to accumulate more than a hundred years of history.

In this chaotic era, it is not easy to earn enough money.

Perhaps most of the Chen family’s funds are hidden here.

Holding up the bundle of shining gold bars, Li Sanpang suddenly felt a hint of coolness on his fingertips. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart - this old man is indeed not simple.

Chen Xiaomei pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything: "My father specially left it for me as a dowry. In his opinion, my mother passed away when I was still young, and he was afraid that I would not be able to bear the trouble, so he gave it to me specially."

Every father in the world is full of endless care for his children, which is deeply touching.

Li Sanpang kissed his lovely wife gently on the cheek, held her tightly in his hand, and said firmly: "You have become a member of my family. I will not let me down or let you suffer any grievances."

Hearing this and his wife's sincere attitude, Li Sanpang naturally could not be stingy and took out all the hundreds of yuan and food coupons he had saved from the cupboard:

"Wow! So many gold coins and silver!"

Xiao Chen ** was already excited before he finished speaking. Although it may not seem as impressive as the previous batch of “small yellow croakers”, its value is far beyond the reach of the latter.

"Where did this money come from?" She said with a little anxiety, fearing that the source of this wealth was unknown.

Li Aiguo laughed and said, "I have a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan in my company, and I also get an extra subsidy every time I go on a business trip. I can save it up in a few months."

Then he opened his hand and held Chen Xueru's little finger, "Shh, don't fiddle with that." Chen Xueru pulled her hand away, with a golden light flashing in her eyes, and began to count the money stroke by stroke.

"This is the financial foundation for our family to start. We need to sort it out and then arrange for its reasonable use."

"I heard that ICBC's savings interest rates have increased recently, and there are even prize draws for time deposits."

He is truly worthy of being someone who came from a small workshop. His understanding and knowledge of money far exceeds that of an ordinary family.

"Then you sort out the numbers first. I'll take a nap for a while."

After saying that, Li Aiguo yawned and collapsed on the bed. He had been busy since getting up at six in the morning, and now he clearly felt tired. Now was the time to rest and prepare for the busy night.

"Go and have a rest now. I'll make you some delicious food later."

Chen Xueru, who had become the housekeeper, now focused entirely on the family's future. She gently kissed Li Aiguo on the face, then began to carefully count the stack of banknotes on the table, cautiously calculating every penny of income.

It took her nearly ten minutes to confirm the total amount of 530 yuan, and then she added the gifts from the guests and checked it again.

Finally, she fished out her pocket change and added it all to the total list, then nodded slightly with satisfaction.

With such abundant funds, we no longer need to worry about food problems.

She touched his arm gently, her face filled with smiles, "Brother Aiguo, the total is 530 yuan. I plan to wait until tomorrow and deposit the money in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in the name of both of us."

Li Aiguo earns more than 530 yuan a month, and the accumulation of yuan is a completely reasonable process and does not arouse suspicion.

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

These banknotes can be deposited in the bank, but the three packages of yellow gold thread became a difficult problem to solve. Looking at the glittering golden dried fish, the housekeeper seemed very embarrassed. She gently held her cheeks with both hands and pondered for a while, worrying about how to properly place this precious thing, and her brows looked solemn.

Li Aiguo also couldn't fall asleep because of her constant busyness.

He put on his slippers, walked to the dressing table, and gently lifted the secret lid of the cabinet.

"Brother Patriot, what are you doing?"

"come here!"

When she heard his call, she immediately followed him. Li Aiguo picked up the clamp and knocked on the crack at the edge of the corner, and gradually moved a brick along the tiny gap. Under this brick was a secret passage like a small secret room.

This episode is not over yet, please look forward to the next part! The surface of the interlayer has been cleverly concealed through fine craftsmanship, and its existence cannot be detected unless it is knocked by hand.

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up immediately. She quickly picked up the three "gold nuggets", bent down to safely put the gold items into the secret space, and then carefully closed the cover.

Then she carefully picked up the brick and inserted it carefully into the hole.

It is so tight that there is no trace at all.

After completing all these actions, Chen Xueru clapped her hands, took a long breath, and walked into the bathroom to clean her hands and face.

When she returned to the inner room, she found Li Aiguo lying in bed, staring at her with eyes like fire.

"It's still too early. It won't work if someone sees us."

"What's the problem? We have registered our marriage and held a wedding ceremony. Now we are officially married."

"However, it's not appropriate to do this in broad daylight."

You may say it's inappropriate, but your body's actions don't lie.

Without Li Aiguo's greeting, Chen Xueru quickly ran to the main room and used the door latch to tightly close the outside door.

When she returned to the bedroom, Chen Xueru seemed to remember something. She ran to the closet and worked for a few minutes before finding a cheongsam.

"You've always wanted to see me in a cheongsam, right?"

When this matter was mentioned, Li Aiguo immediately became interested.

Chen Xueru shows her true personality and charm when wearing cheongsam.

Li Aiguo smiled and persuaded: "This dress is so beautiful, you will definitely look charming in it, especially your long and white legs."
