Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

After the three of them played for a while, Wang Jianjun sent them back home.

Shen Maiqiu felt a little regretful because the coordinates in Inner Mongolia would be retrieved in a few days.

She hasn't had enough fun yet.

"Come on, stop playing all day. Jianjun is someone who is going to do great things, and we can't cause trouble for her."

Among the three, Shen Chuxia has the demeanor of a hostess, while Wang Jianjun is the head of the family.

As for Shen Maiqiu, she is more like an innocent and romantic little girl.

"Okay, I'll take you to Xiangjiang later. There are a lot of fun things there too."

Wang Jianjun tried his best to treat the two of them equally, but he was indeed more doting on Shen Maiqiu.

"You will spoil her."

"As expected, Brother Jianjun loves me more. Sister, you won't love me anymore if you get married!"

Watching the two girls bickering, Wang Jianjun really enjoyed the atmosphere.

This is what a home feels like.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Jianjun left some cooked food for the two in case they were hungry.

Then he kissed them both on the face and rode towards the courtyard.

He has used up his three teleportation opportunities today and now can only ride his bike.

By the time he returned to the courtyard, the banquet was almost served.

Seeing Wang Jianjun, Yan Bugui quickly waved and said:

"Here, Jianjun! I've saved a spot for you."

"Thank you, Uncle. I'll go back and get the dishes."

Wang Jianjun went back into the house, put down his backpack, took a set of bowls and chopsticks, and came back to sit down.

Today's Xu Damao's banquet was much more lively than Liu Guangqi's, with four more tables.

Because there were too many tables to fit in the middle and back yards, we arranged two tables in the front yard.

The Xu family's relatives were arranged in the backyard, and Chen Li's family members were arranged in the middle yard.

Wang Jianjun followed Yan Bugui and found a seat in the front yard.

This way, I don't have to sit at the same table with those people from the Jia family in the Central Courtyard.

It's so disgusting to eat at the same table with people you hate.

"Jianjun, why are you holding such a small bowl again?"

"Hey, just eat enough tonight. Don't be disgusted by my portion later."

"Look at what you said. How can you be disgusted by this? Uncle San is taking advantage of you."

Yan Bugui was very happy.

Now I can bring back more leftovers.

Especially since the food tonight is so tough.

Wang Jianjun had enough food anyway, and he just happened to have something to ask Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, let me ask you something. Are there any rules for getting married in our city?"

"Elaborate? That depends on what you want to do. In the old days, people in the old city were more particular about marrying a wife than they are now. The richer the family, the more elaborate the ceremony. Generally speaking, it was divided into four steps: matchmaking, matchmaking, engagement, and wedding.

But now, with new people, new things, and a new country, everything is about keeping it simple. There are ways to deal with money, and there are ways to deal with poverty.

Why do you want to get married? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? There are many single female teachers in my school."

Yan Bugui just thought that Wang Jianjun wanted to get married.

After all, he is old enough to get married.

When I was his age, I was also obsessed with women.

"Hey, I just met a girl. Maybe we can get married next year."

Although Wang Jianjun has a bad relationship with several families in this courtyard, he is not worried that someone will sabotage and poach his employees.

"Oh!? I didn't expect that you, Jianjun, have found a partner without telling anyone. Third uncle would like to congratulate you first. If you need anything, you can ask Third uncle to register the gift money for you."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Uncle Third."

Wang Jianjun didn't understand some of the rules very well, and when he got married, there would be no other adult to help him except his uncle.

Yan Bugui often helps people for a fee, and he is good at it.

Wang Jianjun wanted to make the wedding more decent and lively, so he asked about some details about getting married, and Yan Bugui also explained them in detail.

After a while, someone came up with the dishes.

The feast has begun.

"Jianjun, let's talk next time when we have time. Let's eat first! Eating is the most important thing!"

Yan Bugui's eyes were shining at this moment, staring at the dishes being served, and he had no time to talk about anything else.

I've been hungry for two days, just waiting for this meal tonight.

At this moment, his hand holding the chopsticks couldn't stop shaking.

Not only him, but the others at the same table were not much better.

Everyone stared at the cold dish served.

This first cold dish is quite hard.

Fried peanuts, cold-mixed bamboo shoots, braised duck offal and braised beef in soy sauce.

Wang Jianjun likes eating beef very much, so he specially sold some to Xu Fugui.

In addition to beef, he also sells some mutton.

Anyway, Xu Fugui asked him to help find ingredients, so naturally he would sell him whatever he likes to eat.

When he saw the dishes being served, Wang Jianjun lost interest in chatting.

Concentrate on eating.

Since I'm going to ask Nan Yi to prepare the wedding banquet, I naturally have to test his skills.

After just one bite of the braised beef in soy sauce, Wang Jianjun knew that Nan Yi’s skill was no worse than Sha Zhu’s.

The beef is chewy but not too chewy.

Obviously cooked to perfection.

And it’s very tasty.

Then, several dishes including casserole lamb, braised lion's head and three white dishes in fermented wine were served, all of which Wang Jianjun praised highly.

Even though Sha Zhu often cooks for himself, Sichuan cuisine is what he is best at.

Nan Yi’s dishes include Shandong cuisine, Beijing cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine.

Not only do they know a lot, but they also do it very meticulously.

Obviously he has real skills.

Actually, if you think about it, you can understand that Sha Zhu had not yet learned all his skills because He Daqing left early.

I started working as a shift worker in a steel rolling mill very early and had no chance to further my studies.

Nan Yi’s cooking skills should be a family inheritance.

The cooking skills will naturally be different if there is someone to guide you and if there is no one to guide you.

That is to say, Nan Yi’s background is not good, otherwise his future achievements will definitely be better than Sha Zhu’s.

Wang Jianjun was eating when suddenly there was a noise coming from the central courtyard.

There were also some women's insults.

Wang Jianjun and Yan Bugui looked at each other.

"Third Master, who will come to the Jia family's feast today?"

"Uh...it seems to be Jia Zhang."

The two understood each other instantly.

This is the trouble maker here to cause trouble again.

Wang Jianjun put some vegetables into his bowl and went to watch the show.

Yan Bugui didn't have that thought in mind. To him, the food on the table was far more important than the liveliness.

Even if the sky falls, it can't affect his eating.

But it was quite lively in the Central Court.

Among the three courtyards, front, middle and back, the middle courtyard is the largest.

Therefore, the central courtyard has the most tables, with a total of six tables.

Most of them are relatives from the woman’s side.

Although the Xu family did not invite He Yuzhu to the banquet, they still sent an invitation to He Yuzhu.

It was just that Sha Zhu was out drinking for the sake of his reputation and didn't come, so the one who attended the banquet at the He family's side was He Yushui.

As for the Jia family, Jia Dongxu should have been the one to sit at the table.

But Jia Zhang was greedy and complained for a long time at home.

Jia Dongxu was a filial son, so he let his mother sit at the table.

But given Jia Zhang's personality, no one wanted to sit at the same table with her.

It was Yi Zhonghai who arranged her to sit at the table with Chen Li's relatives.
