"No, no, even though you have the financial means, this kind of trouble happens too often. I have already given my salary to my family, so let's keep your money for our children in the future." Upon hearing this, Wang Qian firmly opposed doing this.

"My dear, we are a family now. My parents-in-law are my parents, and I should repay them with some love. Although one thousand yuan is not a small amount of money, I have deeply appreciated their efforts in marrying my daughter Xier to me, and I feel it is necessary to use this money to express my gratitude. Also, I have to be honest with you. I have extensive connections in many areas. I can handle food, vegetables and meat, and making money is not a problem, so we should appropriately improve our quality of life." He Yuzhu explained patiently.

Hearing this, Wang Qian suddenly realized. If it was anyone else, she might find it hard to accept, but now the other person is her husband, she can't destroy her own way out. "I believe you, dear. I'm just afraid that you are pushing yourself too hard." She expressed her concern.

"Don't worry, I will handle it through those partners I have a good relationship with, and there won't be any problem. We need to keep a low profile here. I will also distribute some supplies to my friends in the hospital from time to time to shut them up, although they will know that with these things, they will keep their mouths shut." He Yuzhu added confidently.

People in the world are all pursuing interests, and this has been the case since ancient times. "I understand you. If anyone in the family asks about it in the future, we will say it is the son-in-law's filial piety. As for this side, it can be said to be a gift from my mother's family. In the future, if I don't tell others about my mother's family, they will no longer take the initiative to ask. Of course, as long as you handle it properly, try to avoid mentioning my hometown." Wang Qian made a suggestion after pondering for a moment.

"You really think about me. Your husband and I are an important figure in the steel mill. Most of the pork used during the Chinese New Year is provided by me, and now I am also in charge of the canteen's deputy director work and procurement. Such a position can help me cover up, and no one dares to say anything. Now the superiors all need me to make peace with them. Even if there is a report, no one can do anything to me unless it is a large-scale **." He Yuzhu stated his status and influence confidently.

This is the reason why He Yuzhu cooperated with the factory director Yang and used his interests to win over the deputy factory director Li. As long as everything is normal in the steel mill, there will be no internal turmoil.

"As long as you are sure of this, I will feel relieved. When a husband and wife are of one mind, they can accomplish anything. We will handle it." In the living room of He Yuzhu's home, the two had a conversation. After an intimate moment, He Yuzhu prepared to cook.

Because the crayfish weighed more than 40 kilograms, the portion was quite sufficient. After thinking about it, he felt that eating only crayfish might not be enough to fill him up, so he took out some potatoes and white radishes from the cellar, and also took half a kilogram of coriander and a handful of green onions, washed them and cut them for later use. Due to the large quantity, he gave up the idea of ​​preparing additional dishes, and directly cooked two large baskets of white steamed buns, and washed two kilograms of rice to prepare rice porridge. Half an hour later, the steamed buns and porridge were ready, and he added firewood and poured in an appropriate amount of cooking oil. After a while, the kitchen was filled with a strong aroma of oil. The rapeseed oil of this era was indeed pure in fragrance.

When the oil stopped bubbling, He Yuzhu added ginger, minced garlic, peppercorns and other spices and stir-fried them, and then poured his 40-pound crayfish into the pot. Fortunately, as a chef, he always had a large iron pot about 70 to 80 centimeters wide at home, which allowed him to cook on such a large scale.

After putting the seasoning into the pot, he poured in half a pound of Xifeng wine to remove the shrimp smell. When all the steps were completed, he added the chopped coriander and green onion, stirred it casually, and the dish was ready.

“Sizzle!”

As soon as the dishes came out of the pot, He Yuzhu caught the sound of swallowing saliva. He turned around and saw that it was the greedy Wang Qian. Seeing this, he picked up the bowl and specially filled a bowl for her, saying with a smile: "My dear, enjoy it first. I will send some to the old man's house first, and also send some to the deaf old lady, so that the old lady can have a taste as well."

"Alright, go ahead."

Wang Qian took the bowl and responded naturally. It was not her fault. Even Chef He felt that it was full of fragrance and his appetite increased greatly.

He Yuzhu smiled, then took out two small basins, one for the old man's family and the other for the deaf old lady. Although there was no rice, he put a few slices on the white flour buns and left.

When he got home, he saw at least 20 kilograms of lobsters, which two people could not finish. Even if He Yushui came back soon, there would be a lot left. After thinking for a while, he found a small basin, filled it up and sent it back to the third master's house.

After all, Third Aunt and Yu Li had helped him with clothes and sheets before, and although he collected a lot of fabrics, he still needed to express his gratitude. After entering the house, he saw Third Uncle's surprised face, and He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Third Uncle, I came to thank Third Aunt and Yu Li for helping me make clothes. I have been busy recently, and I just registered my marriage with Wang Qian and only had time to come here. This is the crayfish I made, please have a taste, and I will prepare some melon seeds and candies for everyone to share the joy later."

Then gently place the basin on the table.

Hearing the news of the marriage, the third master exclaimed: "Zhu Zi, this is really fast. You went to visit last weekend, and they got married today!" Then he laughed and said: "My mother-in-law is very satisfied, so she can't wait to marry her daughter off. I can't refuse."

Hearing this, the Third Master also laughed and said, "Okay, thank you, Zhuzi, I didn't expect you to remember us. I'm waiting for your wedding candy tonight." He Yuzhu said, "Okay, I'll take my leave now. Eat these things while they're hot. Bring your wife along in the evening."

When he left, Sanma in the kitchen heard the noise and immediately prepared the last dish. When He Yuzhu left, she had already cooked the meal.

Returning to the main courtyard, He Yuzhu glimpsed three pairs of bright eyes on the Jia family's windows, and his mouth curled slightly. It seemed that these children also smelled the sweetness of the food. But he ignored it. The relationship between the two families was like oil and water. Even if Xiaodang and Xiaohuahua were innocent, they could not deny that the families they were born into were involved.

After returning home, there was suddenly one more person in the house. It turned out that when he was talking to Grandpa He, He Yushui also came back.

The two of them each held a bowl in their hands and were eating with gusto and in high spirits.

"Brother, you're back." He Yushui still had the lobster in his mouth and waved his greasy hands to greet He Yuzhu.

"Honey, come and try it. I've tried it for you. It's really delicious!" Wang Qian saw him coming back and waved hurriedly, moving the bowl forward.

He thought she wanted another bowl, but when he saw the peeled lobster tail meat in front of him, He Yuzhu was deeply moved. He never thought that his wife could restrain herself so much and peel shrimp for him in front of such delicious food.

"Wife, you eat, I can cook it myself." He Yuzhu gently returned the bowl.

At this moment, He Yushui, who was concentrating on eating, suddenly reacted and looked at the two with disbelief: "Husband and wife? Brother, sister-in-law, have you... registered your marriage?"

"Yes!" Wang Qian's cheeks turned slightly red and she nodded slightly.

He Yuzhu added: "I just registered today. I thought you were not here. I didn't expect you to have such a good time!"

Hearing their affirmative answers, He Yushui immediately stopped what he was doing and offered his blessing with a smile: "I wish my elder brother and sister-in-law to be together forever, happy and healthy, give birth to a smart baby soon, and spend a hundred years of happiness together..." The continuous blessings made Wang Qian and He Yuzhu laugh continuously.

Seeing that the two were in a good mood, He Yushui said, "Wait, I'll go get another gift." Soon, she came back with two small gift boxes in her hands, "Brother and sister-in-law, this is what I prepared for you recently. I thought you would get married after the New Year, but you guys are so fast."

After that, she handed each of them a gift box. He Yushui prepared two towels, one blue and one red, all hand-woven by her.

After receiving the gifts, He Yuzhu and Wang Qian gave her red envelopes that they had prepared in advance.

"Okay, keep the red envelopes and let's enjoy the meal together. Love and food are the only things in the world that cannot be let down." He Yuzhu laughed loudly, picked up half a bottle of Xifeng Baijiu and sat down, and everyone celebrated this festive day together.

After the meal, He Yushui took the initiative to clean up. As soon as she finished, her uncle and aunt from next door arrived.

"Zhu Zi, Wang Qian, happy wedding. May you live happily together and have a baby soon." They were all smiling and gave their blessings.

Afterwards, the second, third, and fourth uncles and aunts also came, and Lou Xiaoe also brought gifts, and everyone gathered together to chat.

Knowing that they would be delivering wedding candies door to door, no one stayed long and said goodbye one by one. He Yuzhu took out the milk candies, melon seeds and peanuts that he had prepared long ago and started to act.

At Jia's and Xu Damao's, they didn't give it. Back in the old lady's room in the backyard, the deaf-mute old lady noticed Lou Xiao'e's depression. Seeing her state, the old lady was like a mirror in her heart: "Child, life is impermanent, everyone has his own destiny. Since you are not destined to be with Zhuzi, you have to live a good life. I will find you a suitable match during the New Year."

Lou Xiao'e's face changed instantly, and she quickly said in defense: "Grandma, please don't talk nonsense, who would like that silly Zhuzi?"

"Haha, little girl, you still want to pretend to be ignorant in front of me? If you didn't really like him, why would the corners of your mouth always rise unconsciously when we meet every day? If you weren't happy, why don't you return to your parents' home? Do you like to meet Xu Damao every day?" The deaf old lady laughed and mercilessly exposed Lou Xiao'e's **.

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e sighed deeply and said, "So what if I like you? Fate is determined by heaven, old lady. After the Spring Festival, I will go back to live with my parents. I heard from my parents that there may be new policies from above, and my family's situation is not very good. I must go back to see if I can help deal with it."

"It's good enough that we can finish this New Year. You are a kind-hearted girl with a good temper. It's just that you are unfortunate in your life. You haven't met someone who knows how to cherish and love you. Come back after the Spring Festival. If you have the chance, you might as well come and see me, an old lady in her twilight years. If you don't have time, that's fine." The old lady said, her heart filled with sadness.
