Siheyuan: Since 51

Wang Quanyou crossed his legs and said with a smile, "Yes, I went there. Your aunt took me there. It's just two villages away. She is the daughter of Pang Laowu in Pangjiazhuang."

Wang Aimin echoed, "My mom said the talks are going well. Maybe we can finalize it today."

Lin Zhiyuan stood up, poured tea for everyone, and asked casually, "Wow, so smooth? What's the situation with this girl?"

Qin Mancang clicked his tongue, shook his head slightly, and interjected.

"Pang Laowu, I've heard that too. His legs and feet are not in good condition, and his family situation is not very good."

Wang Quanyou agreed very much and nodded.

"That's right. Her father has bad legs and feet, and she has two younger brothers. To put it bluntly, her family is all supported by this girl. Otherwise, with her looks, she would have been married off long ago."

Lin Zhiyuan put down the teapot and looked at the smoke-filled room, which looked like a fairyland. He opened the door and put up the curtain before returning to his seat.

Whether the situation is good or not is not important.

As long as Sha Zhu is willing, no one can stop him.

Even He Daqing.

After all, who wants to compete with a fool?

We were chatting about random things.

He Daqing pushed his bicycle and walked past the door.

Wang Aimin, who was sitting sideways, took a glimpse and quickly stood up to greet him, "Master, you're back."

He Daqing stopped, nodded expressionlessly, and said "hmm".

Seeing Lin Zhiyuan also went out, he reached out and patted the bicycle seat.

"Zhiyuan, wait for me to wipe it and then I'll send it to you."

Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, just put it here, I'll push it over later."

As he said that, he looked back and didn't see Sha Zhu. He couldn't help but be curious, "Uncle He, where is Sha Zhu?"

He Daqing squeezed his expressionless face and forced a smile.

"He and Xiaomei are in the back?"

"Xiao Mei?"

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned. "Have you brought everyone back?"

He Daqing said as a matter of course: "Of course, since we have already agreed, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. I just took them to get the marriage certificate."

As they were talking, Sha Zhu led a girl through the hanging flower gate and walked in.

As soon as he saw Lin Zhiyuan, Sha Zhu grinned and laughed.

"Brother Zhiyuan, this is my wife, Pang Xiaomei. Wife, this is Lin Zhiyuan, just follow me and call me Brother Zhiyuan."

Pang Xiaomei, as her name suggests, is indeed beautiful.

She has an oval face, a high nose bridge, willow-shaped eyebrows, big eyes, and a cherry mouth with dimples. She is so pure.

In an instant, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh, "Fools have good luck, and Sha Zhu made a fortune."

"Brother Zhiyuan."

Pang Xiaomei was not reserved at all. Instead, she greeted him gracefully.

"Today is too busy. Brother Zhuzi and I will buy some candy tomorrow and come to your house to visit you then."

He Daqing was delighted. There was no choice but to choose his daughter-in-law. She was sensible and capable. It was just a matter of taking care of his two younger brothers until they reached adulthood, which was not a big deal.

There were people all over the yard, but Lin Zhiyuan only looked down upon Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family. As for the others, he could accept them after getting to know them for a long time.

"Okay, then your sister-in-law and I will be waiting for the wedding candy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, outside the hanging flower gate, Xiao Shufan, who was about to go to the small courtyard, paused and then ran into the front yard.

"Dad, where's the candy?"

Sha Zhu grinned and raised his eyebrows.

"Xiao Shufan, come here, this is your aunt, call someone quickly, your aunt will give you candy tomorrow."

His eyes rolled around and Xiao Shufan stared at Pang Xiaomei suspiciously.

"Auntie, do you have any candy?"

As he said that, he took out a purple fifty-cent coin from his pocket and handed it forward, "Auntie, then sell me a few."

At the door, Qin Mancang, Wang Quanyou, Qin Huaiwu, as well as Lin Manyu, He Yushui, Xu Xiaoling, and Pang Xiaomei who had just walked in from the Chuihua Gate, all laughed.

Little Shufan didn't understand what was going on, so he grinned.

Pang Xiaomei smiled gently, "Xiao Shufan, I don't have it today, I will give it to you tomorrow."

Xiao Shufan pouted and said depressedly: "Ah, you don't have any either?"

Lin Zhiyuan looked suspicious and asked, "Didn't you go buy it?"

Lin Manyu stepped forward to explain.

"It is said that Cuba has stopped supplying sugar a long time ago. Sugar cubes are limited and available at the canteen at irregular intervals. There is no sugar today."

Lin Zhiyuan twitched his lips. The broken candy was limited in quantity, and there were still a lot of milk candies in the space. It seemed that he had to take some home.

"Dad will buy you some candy later, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Shufan nodded hurriedly.

Next to him, Sha Zhu had already started introducing others.

He Yushui seemed extremely excited. She grabbed her braid and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, can you braid your hair? My hair was done by Sister-in-law Lin."

"Yes, from now on, I will give you different kinds of tattoos."

A few minutes later, the three aunties from the opposite door, the first auntie from the middle courtyard, and even Qin Huairu and others from the small courtyard gathered in the front yard.

You talk, I talk, and it's noisy.

Yan Bugui was carrying a fishing rod and two palm-sized fish as he walked through the Chuihua Gate, when he was immediately startled.

"Wow, there are so many people, what's going on?"

Sha Zhu brought Pang Xiaomei and happily introduced them again.

As a result, after greeting, Yan Bugui pursed his lips and asked without thinking.

"Lao He, Sha Zhu, this is a huge happy event, why don't you set up a few tables?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.

Yan Bugui was not embarrassed, and still had a smile on his face, "I wasn't wrong, shouldn't we celebrate happy events?"

Sha Zhu curled his lips and responded unhappily.

"Uncle, from now on, make a sign and hang it on your chest. Write three words on it: 'Set up a few tables'. From now on, you don't have to say anything. Just stand aside and knock on the sign. Everyone will know what you mean."

Pang Xiaomei pulled Sha Zhu's arm and tried to smooth things over.

"Uncle San, Brother Zhuzi, the two of you should stop joking."

As he spoke, he said with a hint of apology, "Forget about setting the table. Everyone is struggling these days. Besides, isn't frugality advocated?"

Yan Bugui's expression softened slightly, "Well, I was just joking."

As the sun sets, everyone goes back to their homes.

Wang Aimin got up and prepared to cook.

Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Ai Min, take your time to prepare. I'll go cut some meat."

Qin Mancang immediately advised, "Zhiyuan, there's no need."

Wang Quanyou followed up with, "That's right, don't waste money."

"It's okay, we can have a few drinks together."

After saying this, without waiting for a response, Lin Zhiyuan walked away.

There is everything in the space, no need to go to the vegetable market.

After strolling on the street for less than an hour, Lin Zhiyuan returned to the courtyard carrying about five pounds of pork, two one-foot-long fish, six bottles of Erguotou, and half a pound of milk candy.

Wang Aimin showed off her cooking skills. The meal had just been prepared. It was a rare day of relaxation. Lin Zhihao, who had been out playing, also came back.

There were women and children in the small courtyard. Lin Zhihao, who didn't drink and didn't like the smell of cigarettes, was also among them.

In the east wing, five grown men were toasting each other, making the place lively.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The topic got broader and broader, and finally, we talked about the floods in the south.

Lin Zhiyuan's heart moved, and he immediately brought up the old matter again.
