Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

Xu Damao exclaimed: "Oh my God, what's going on?"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Mr. Chen stopped them quickly so as not to disturb them.

At this time, Yan Fugui was busy receiving guests and did not pay attention to the conversation between Chen Sheng and Xu Damao. "This... is this really the wife chosen by Li Cheng?" Xu Damao whispered in disbelief.

Mr. Chen shrugged his shoulders, implying that it was right in front of him: "Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

Xu Damao still hasn't come back to his senses: "This really makes it difficult to understand Chengdu."

"Don't forget, she is a salesperson!" Mr. Chen whispered the key point again.

"Oh, I understand." Xu Damao finally understood the Yan family's intention.

No matter what Niu Li is like, Yan Fugui will most likely accept her even if she is a piglet from a grocery store.

But it is still unclear what Yan Jiecheng felt about this meeting.

"Oh, this Niu Li child is really beautiful and intelligent!"

Chen Sheng, who was standing outside and heard Yan Fugui praising Niu Li in the house, confirmed his guess: Yan Fugui must be very satisfied with this marriage.

Most of the time at the dinner table was spent talking between Yan Fugui, the matchmaker and Niu Li's mother. Yan Jiecheng sat in the corner of the courtyard in silence, while Niu Li would occasionally interrupt, and it was obvious that she was quite pleased with Yan Fugui's compliments.

Listening to their conversation, Chen was afraid that both parties were very satisfied with this meeting.

But according to convention, the woman still needs to convey her feelings to the Yan family through a matchmaker before and after the meeting.

Yan Fugui completely ignored Yan Jiecheng's feelings and was almost afraid that he would tell a lie.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiecheng remained silent that night. Chen Sheng speculated that he might have been frightened by the pressure from Yan Fugui.

After seeing off the joyful Niu Li group, the Yan family was immediately filled with a lively atmosphere again.

"Dad! What's going on?" Yan Jiecheng asked anxiously, almost going crazy.

"What's going on? I think that girl is pretty good. She has a stable job and is good at socializing."

Yan Fugui was well aware of Jie Cheng's complaints, but he pretended to be ignorant and downplayed the situation, saying that he thought appearance was not important since she was not the woman he wanted to marry after all.

"Dad, you're not really going to let me marry her, are you?" Yan Jiecheng asked in disbelief.

"Why not? Why is she unworthy of you?" Yan Fugui retorted harshly.

"No means no! I don't care how beautiful the Chen family's wife is.

Even if it's Uncle Mao or Dongxu's daughter-in-law, how can she not be a normal girl? Why do I have to marry such a terrible woman? "Yan Jiecheng argued loudly.

"It's already great that you like me like this, so don't be so picky." Yan Fugui said angrily.

"Do you have Damao's thoughtful and intelligent skills? Do you have Chen Sheng's talent and ability? Although Dongxu's wife is outstanding in appearance, she has no job, no income, and she only has a rural household registration!" Yan Fugui did not give in.

“Whatever, whatever you want.

Anyway, I don’t want to marry her.” Yan Jiecheng sat still on the stool, turning his head away and no longer looking at his father.

"Listen to me again. Do you think it's easy to marry a salesperson? I'm telling you, if you don't accept that girl, you have to compensate me for the fees I waived for you in the past two months." Yan Fugui spoke every word firmly.

"It's been two months and I don't need you to pay it back.

Is this enough? It is useless to say more. "Yan Jiecheng was unmoved.

"Humph, you are dreaming! Let me tell you, if you really don't marry her, I will add another half a year!" Yan Fugui announced without any room for negotiation.

"What? Dad, are you getting senile and confused?" Yan Jiecheng couldn't believe what he heard.

"Boy, I'm telling you, you are not allowed to bargain on this matter!" Yan Fugui's firm attitude was as unshakable as a mountain.

"But wasn't this already agreed upon? How can you increase or decrease the amount at will?" Yan Jiecheng asked angrily.

"Just look at the empty plates on the table." Yan Fugui picked up the plates unhappily, hinting at the family's efforts and losses.

"There's no need to go into so much detail!" Yan Jiecheng tried to explain.

"Do you think this is the end? Your mother and I have wasted our efforts, and you have ruined a great marriage in my family!" Yan Fugui emphasized seriously.

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was a little confused: "Really?"

Of course, meeting such an excellent girl, how could Yan Fugui give up easily! Mr. Chen said with a smile.

However, Yan Jiecheng did not seem willing to accept this fact, Xu Damao sighed regretfully.

"You don't understand Yan Fugui. His family's finances are all in his hands. Even if Yan Jiecheng has his own ideas, they cannot play a decisive role," Chen Sheng further explained.

Just as he expected, conversation was heard again in the house.

"Xie Cheng, as the old saying goes, an ugly wife is as good as a treasure.

I think that girl is really good! "The third aunt also joined in the persuasion.

Yan Fugui continued, "Yes, just like Xiao Chen. Who dares to mess with him in the yard? It's because he used to work in a food store, and he was a clerk there."

After hearing this, Mr. Chen was slightly surprised, realizing that their topic had unknowingly become related to him.

"Yes, everyone in the compound follows their nose with their eyes and their heart with their nose.

If you marry a shop assistant, you will see how others will admire you. "The third aunt continued to agree.

But Yan Jiecheng remained silent.

"Forget it, go to bed early, you will understand sooner or later." Yan Fugui tried to comfort his son, hoping he would compromise.

Yan Jiecheng immediately responded firmly: "No matter what, I will never marry her." His previous determination began to waver.

"Well, go to bed early.

Think about it, a daughter-in-law like this will have everything she wants, and she won't have to worry about food and drink. "Yan Fugui patiently advised.

Yan Jiecheng remained silent and walked back to his room in silence.

"Do you think this will succeed?" The third aunt was quite surprised at Yan Jiecheng's resolute attitude.

"Absolutely no problem. After all, he is my own son!" Yan Fugui asserted with full confidence.

Chen Sheng and Xu Damao were whispering outside the courtyard: "Yan Fuyou knows exactly what Yan Jiecheng is thinking."

The two of them then burst into laughter.

Ultimately, the powerful influence of his family and his status as a shop assistant forced Yan Jiecheng to compromise, and despite his reluctance, he still married Niu Li.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is almost the end of the year. As the year draws to a close, apart from the normal food supply, other daily necessities are extremely scarce.

However, this has little impact on Mr. Chen, as his unit has a special team to handle such matters.

He rarely had the opportunity to attend meetings and only attended large meetings, usually as a spectator.

As the year-end was approaching, Chen Sheng wanted to buy New Year's goods for himself and his master.

But he changed his mind and decided to entrust Li to purchase the seasonings, and he could get the other things directly from his own storage space.

After delivering the things and returning to the compound, Chen Sheng saw Yan Fugui's face flushed red, chewing some delicious food, and looking very energetic.

"Uncle, have you just finished dinner?" Mr. Chen asked with a smile.

“Hey, I just didn’t finish eating.

Lili roasted some pork fat residue, which was quite fragrant. "Yan Fugui was quite pleased with himself as he spoke.

Chen Sheng was surprised when he heard this: "Wow, this is not easy!"

"Of course, Lili always complains that the oil at home is not of high quality. She says that she wants to replenish her body during the New Year. Neither I nor Chengdu are fat enough." Yan Fugui's words were full of pride.

Since Niu Li moved into the Yan family, the family's financial situation has improved. However, the people in the yard are not satisfied. Even scarce products like pork can only be purchased by queuing up two days before the New Year.

Banggeng wandered around and smelled the delicious food from the Yan family, so he started making a fuss when he got home.

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!!" Banggeng rolled on the ground.

"Eat meat? Do you know which family has meat to eat?" Jia Zhang asked while holding the stick tightly.

"Need I say more? It's Uncle Yan in the yard in front. He just said that he ate some lard and it smelled so good." As he spoke, saliva began to ooze from the corners of Bang Geng's mouth.

"It's really weird. Old man Yan is actually willing to buy lard this year!" Jia Zhang complained while holding the stick in one hand.

"Oh, don't tell me, it must be that Niu Li who did this.

How can there be no food when there is a salesperson at home? "Jia Dongxu said, with a smile on his face.

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but feel a little envious of Yan Jiecheng's good fortune.

Even though Niu Li's appearance was indeed not good, her presence was enough to ensure that the family would not starve.

Looking back, Qin Huairu's performance was at least much more reassuring than Niu Li's in the evening.

It seems that Niu Li's weight has exceeded 80 kilograms.

"Buy some meat for Banggeng tomorrow. Our family hasn't bought meat for a long time." Jia Zhang suggested, with traces of saliva at the corners of her mouth.

The food coupons that the family originally used to buy meat have all been exchanged for grain, and they haven’t tasted delicious meat for a long time.

"Okay, let's buy some small portions tomorrow and let Banggeng try it." Jia Dongxu agreed.

"Let's use the remaining meat coupons as well." Jia Zhang wiped the corner of her mouth and swallowed as she spoke.

Looking at her like this, Jia Dongxu nodded helplessly.

For him, there was no way to stop Jia Zhang's determination.

Even if the meat was bought, it was hard to predict how much of the meat would be distributed, after all, Jia Zhang's eating speed was very fast.

Although the Yan family is well off this year, they are still a little poor compared to the Jia family.

However, when it comes to Xu Damao's family, the situation is more complicated and subtle.

Xu Damao had just returned to the countryside a few days ago, bringing with him some local delicacies and even a piece of bacon.

He also managed to gather some things together and prepared to visit his father-in-law before the New Year.

But the ending...

"Da Mao is here." Lou's father's tone remained the same, as cold as if he was facing a passerby, as if he still had a grudge against the enemy.

"I came to see you before the New Year is over." Xu Damao seemed nervous, and I always felt oppressed in his presence.

"Since you're here, take a look and take the things with you." There was no mercy in his words.

"Okay." Xu Damao responded in a low voice.

Then, Mr. Lou became silent. Xu Damao felt more and more uncomfortable and said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Just a few steps out of the door, I heard footsteps behind me.
