Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle.

Xiao Weiguo suddenly remembered something and said with concern: "Zhu Zi, I have to remind you that you have a partner now, so don't have any contact with Qin Huairu. Although you live in the same compound, this is not good for your reputation."

He Yuzhu nodded twice, "Uncle, you said that Xiao Yun told me about this, and I have already told Qin Huairu about the ticket. I promised to return it to me as soon as I get paid."

Then, He Yuzhu said shyly, "That's perfect. Both you and your son are helping me with some advice. I have already talked to Yi Jie, my boyfriend."

"We both want to get married, so we want Xiao Yun to help arrange it so that we can get married early to avoid any gossip."

Xiao Yun and Xiao Weiguo looked at each other silently.

Then, Xiao Yun said, "Brother Zhuzi, there is no problem with getting married, but you have to tell her family and make sure they have prepared all the gifts, and then there will be no problem."

He Yuzhu nodded, "That's right, but I don't dare to go to his house alone, and I don't know what to say when I meet him, so I want you to accompany me. You are smart and eloquent, so you can help me talk."

"Of course you can, but have they told you about the betrothal gift? Can you afford it?" Xiao Yun asked.

"I told you, Yi Jie said she doesn't have any financial requirements. The only requirement is to bring her aunt to the compound." He Yuzhu said slowly, "Her parents died when she was young, and she lives with her aunt. Now her aunt is not in good health, so she wants to take her with her."

"My thought is that this request is not excessive, so I must satisfy it."

Xiao Yun listened and put down the work in his hands. "Haven't you already discussed it? Why do you still need me?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand, "Her aunt lived with him and raised him, but she has other relatives in her family. When the time comes, there will be other relatives. I'm afraid that if they ask for too much, like your boyfriend's family, they suddenly blackmail me, won't I be able to react?"

After saying that, He Yuzhu looked at Su Ming and apologized quickly, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to say that your family is not good. Don't take it to heart."

Su Ming smiled generously, "It's okay, what you said is also true."

"Xiao Yun, if you have nothing to do, just visit. Zhuzi has been busy with your wedding and saved you a lot of trouble. He will help if he can." Xiao Weiguo said.

"Okay, then, tomorrow, go to the state-owned store and buy two boxes of cakes and some candy. I'll go with you."

After Xiao Yun finished speaking, everyone started chatting again.

The happy time lasted until the evening, and festive sounds could be heard from every household in the compound.

Only in Yan Bugui's house far away, the lights were dim and there was a lot of mournful cries in the house.

"Dad, can you please light some coal? It's really cold." Yan Jiecheng curled up in the quilt and couldn't help but speak out.

Yan Bugui looked worried, and he felt nauseous when he recalled the smell in the morning.

"If Xiao Aiguo hadn't taken away my calligraphy job, we wouldn't have to suffer from the cold!" Yan Bugui complained angrily.

Suddenly, the third aunt made a suggestion, "Old Yan, I heard that Xu Damao from the backyard was arrested. Why don't you go to her house and borrow some coal? You can pay her later, which is better than letting your whole family freeze now."

This idea lit up in Yan Bugui's mind, and he immediately felt that it could be implemented.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Xu Damao has been arrested, and Lou Xiao'e hasn't returned to the compound. I'll go borrow some coal, it will be fine!"

As he spoke, Yan Bugui put on his coat and prepared to go out.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng on the side was a little worried, and said with a worried look on his face: "Dad, I'm not sure. What do you think we should do if Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao come back together and catch you in the act? Otherwise, let's not take any risks, and just burn the Jia family's coal."

Yan Bugui put on his coat without slowing down at all, with a look of disdain on his face, "Xu Damao is in prison. If I run into him, I'd be worse off than going to the toilet and dying."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the third aunt again, "Mom, I always feel uneasy in my heart, do you think this will not cause any trouble?"

The third aunt looked relieved, "Just lie down and relax, your father is not that unlucky."

...

Yan Bugui probed all the way and made sure that there was no one there before he went into the backyard.

Smelling the aroma of eggs coming from the Liu family, he swallowed and felt a lot more at ease.

The deaf old lady was not at home and the Liu family was having dinner, so it was absolutely safe for him to borrow coal now.

But at this moment, two figures gradually approached the gate of the courtyard.

"Ezi, I really didn't mean it. I promise I won't make the same mistake again. I swear to God." Xu Damao's face was covered with bruises and he looked at Lou Xiao'e with a crying voice.

Lou Xiao'e didn't even look at Xu Damao, "Xu Damao, this time my dad was soft-hearted and got you out, otherwise I would have divorced you!"

Lou Xiao'e stopped walking and said, "Also, don't think I don't know anything. You know whether there is anything wrong between you and Qin Huairu! I trust Xiao Yun more than you!"

Xu Damao grabbed Lou Xiao'e's hand and couldn't help but hiss, "Eth, didn't we agree not to mention Xiao Yun?"

"I promise you, no matter what happened in the past, I promise to listen to you from now on, okay?"

There is a reason why Lou Xiao'e is called a fool. But when she saw Xu Damao apologize so sincerely and swear, she softened her heart.

"I'm telling you, Xu Damao, if I marry you, you're marrying above your station. If you don't cherish me, I will definitely divorce you."

Xu Damao smiled immediately, "I know you are the best. Go back and have a rest. I will cook and reward you well. Then in the evening..."

Lou Xiao'e's face flushed immediately, but she was still very serious. "Xu Damao, just because I believe you this time doesn't mean I don't doubt you. If you dare to spread rumors about what you said to Qin Huairu again, I will definitely divorce you! Also, you have to behave yourself tonight! You are not allowed to touch me for the next half month!"

Xu Damao was very good at avoiding the important point and immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Tonight, let's not do anything. Let's go back and have a drink together. Is that okay? I'm so cold that my body is stiff."

This reason is very appropriate. After drinking and feeling dizzy, you are not sure what will happen.

Lou Xiao'e didn't continue to argue, but went back to the compound in silence.

At this time, every household in the compound was in their houses and did not notice the two people at all.

The two of them went all the way back to the backyard, and as soon as they entered, they found a figure lurking at the door, moving something stealthily.

Xu Damao noticed it at a glance and shouted, "Who is it? Where did this thief come from? What do you want to steal?"

Yan Bugui was so frightened by this shout that his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

"Da Mao, it's me, Uncle Third. I'm not a thief," he explained.

Hearing the voice, Xu Damao walked over quickly, "Uncle San? You are sneaking around in front of my house. What else could you be doing if not stealing things? I must let everyone in the compound see your true face today!"

Yan Bugui was so anxious that he wanted to curse. Why was he so unlucky? He had just said that Xu Damao would go to prison and would not come out, and now he was caught red-handed. So he begged for mercy quickly, and while begging for mercy, he also pleaded with Xu Damao to speak in a low voice.

"Da Mao, I'm really not a thief. I just came here to borrow some coal. My coal is lost and the house is too cold. I thought no one was at your house, so I borrowed it first."

"If you're worried, I can give you the money now."

After saying that, he flashed the coal bucket at the two of them.

Xu Damao was already angry, so he let it out directly, "Okay, then you give me the money. I want ten dollars from you for these coals. It's not too much, right?"
