Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Speaking of Xu Damao, it happens that the day after tomorrow is his wedding day.

As soon as Wang Jianjun returned home, Xu Fugui hurriedly came to his house with Xu Damao.

Wang Jianjun was so busy developing his relationship with Shen Maiqiu this week that he even forgot about what Xu Fugui had mentioned to her.

"Haha, Uncle Xu, how could I forget about this? Don't worry, I will deliver the things to you tomorrow morning."

Xu Fugui breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"Jianjun, I'm not rushing you. It's just that we're getting married the day after tomorrow and the ingredients aren't ready yet. I'm really anxious."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Wang Jianjun said a few words before sending the father and son away.

The next day before dawn, Wang Jianjun knocked on the door of Xu's house with a bunch of things.

Looking at that pile of things, Xu Fugui's eyes widened.

I held his hand and kept thanking him.

"Jianjun, this time it's all thanks to you. You must come to the banquet tomorrow."

"No problem, I'll be there on time. By the way, this is something I prepared specially for Damao as a wedding gift."

Wang Jianjun said this and took out a bundle of leeks from behind and handed it over.

Looking at the green leeks, Xu Fugui felt a little strange.

There are still leeks in this cold winter.

"Jianjun, where did you get this dish?"

"My uncle in the countryside gave it to me. It's amazing. He didn't plant any seeds, but chives grew in his field a while ago. Maybe the seeds from someone else's field fell into his field.

There are not many vegetables growing in the fields in this winter, so Uncle Xu, please bring them home for Damao to taste."

"Oh... then Uncle Xu will accept it. Thank you, Jianjun."

Xu Fugui always felt that Wang Jianjun's words were strange, but he couldn't figure out why. He simply took the leeks back home to make leek dumplings.

Having satisfied his bad taste, Wang Jianjun happily rode his bicycle to Shen's house.

As soon as he arrived near Shen Chuxia's house, he saw Shen Maiqiu shoveling snow.

"Mai Qiu, you got up so early to shovel snow."

Shen Maiqiu looked at him with some surprise and said:

"Brother Jianjun, how did you know it was me? I specially wore my sister's clothes today."

Wang Jianjun gently pinched her chubby little face and said with a smile:

"Haven't you noticed that you've started to gain weight on your face recently?"

Shen Maiqiu was so angry that he slapped his hand and said:

"Huh, even you say that. My sister said I was fat last night. She even forced me to get up early to work in the morning."

Wang Jianjun thought to himself, with your habit of lying in bed and reading novels after eating and drinking, how can you not be fat?

"By the way, where's your sister?"

"She's busy inside. Didn't you say you would come to eat today? So she went to the market early in the morning to buy some vegetables and prepare dinner at home."

Thinking of his sister's poor cooking skills, Shen Maiqiu, whose taste had been spoiled by Wang Jianjun during this period, hurriedly said:

"You should hurry in and help, Brother Jianjun! With my sister's cooking skills, it would be a waste of food."

"Then tell me first, how did you talk with your sister last night?"

"Humph, I won't tell you."

Shen Maiqiu's face turned red when he thought about what he talked about with his sister last night.

She just turned her head and shoveled her own snow, ignoring him.

Wang Jianjun didn't know yet, but the matter was settled.

Wang Jianjun took advantage of his inattention and kissed her on the face as a reward before entering the house.

Shen Chuxia was washing vegetables in front of the stove at this moment.

When I heard footsteps, I thought it was Shen Maiqiu coming in.

"Have you finished shoveling the snow? Come and help me prepare the meal later. Do you know what Jianjun likes to eat? The meat coupons we have this month only amount to half a pound, and I don't know if it's enough for cooking."

Shen Chuxia felt a little surprised when she saw that her sister didn't reply to her.

Just as she was about to turn around, Wang Jianjun hugged her in his arms.

Shen Chuxia was startled and then realized who it was.

Just as he turned around to complain, he was attacked again.

"You really are such a jerk! I'm cooking right now."

Shen Chuxia pushed a few times but couldn't break free, and hurriedly said:

"Stop it, Mai Qiu is shoveling snow outside and may come in any minute!"

"Then kiss me and I'll let you go."

"you!"

Shen Chuxia was a little anxious. Although she had accepted Wang Jianjun, she couldn't accept him doing this in front of her sister.

But seeing that Wang Jianjun looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, she could only kiss him casually on the face.

But Wang Jianjun went too far and pointed at his mouth and said:

"Wrong, it's here!"

Shen Chuxia was so angry that she almost turned around to grab a kitchen knife.

In the end, Wang Jianjun pecked him on the mouth helplessly and let her go.

"You...you are not allowed to mess around anymore!"

Shen Chuxia couldn't do anything to him and could only threaten him verbally.

Wang Jianjun stopped teasing her, took the potato from her hand and said:

"Okay, let me help you cook."

"Then I'll give you a hand."

Shen Chuxia also knows her own skills, although today is the first time Wang Jianjun has come to her house.

But she still chose to give it to him.

No matter how bad Wang Jianjun’s cooking is, I think it should be better than what I cook.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"I bought radishes and potatoes, there's some cabbage outside the house, and half a pound of pork belly that I bought this morning."

Wang Jianjun took out some meat and ingredients from the space and placed them on the table.

"Have you forgotten that I have everything in my space? Just order whatever you want to eat."

When Shen Chuxia saw Wang Jianjun's trick of making friends out of nothing, she realized that she had just been to his space yesterday.

"Then you decide. I can eat anything. Today I will be responsible for helping you."

Wang Jianjun thought about it and decided to make hotpot today.

In such cold weather, stir-fried dishes cool down quickly, so it is more convenient to cook hot pot.

"You help me pick the vegetables, and I'll be responsible for cutting the meat."

Although all these preparations can be completed in a few seconds in the space.

But Wang Jianjun enjoys the daily work with Shen Chuxia more.

After shoveling the snow, Shen Maiqiu tactfully went back into the house to read her novel.

Wang Jianjun had been with her for some time before, and now it was his sister's turn.

Shen Maiqiu waited until Shen Chuxia called her at noon before she reluctantly put down the book and came out.

"Brother Jianjun, what are you having for lunch?"

"We're having hot pot. Go to the kitchen and help prepare the dishes."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Shen Maiqiu, who was almost becoming a foodie, hurried into the kitchen and brought out plates of meat slices.

This is to pick out the food you like.

After arranging the ingredients, Wang Jianjun took out a bottle of red wine that he had prepared in advance.

He doesn't usually drink, but today is a special day so he wants to have a drink.

After pouring a glass of wine for each of the three people, he raised his glass and said:

"This is the first time our family is eating together, let's clink glasses."

Wang Jianjun's words "we are one family" made both girls blush.

It was Shen Maiqiu who, in order to save his face, raised his glass and gestured to Shen Chuxia:

"Sis, I'm waiting for you."

Shen Chuxia watched as both of them raised their cups, so she could only pick up the cup in front of her.

Wang Jianjun raised his glass and smiled as he looked at the two girls and said:

"I will be the head of this family in the future. Please take good care of me."

As he said this, he clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

The two of them glared at him with red faces.

It was still Shen Maiqiu who took a sip first.

Then Shen Chuxia also took a sip.
