Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

Will they prepare a portion for our Jia family at the banquet? Considering Lu Weimin's generous salary and Ms. Li's good family background, a banquet is a sure thing.

If I am invited to attend, I will barely make it through the night. They have never helped our Jia family before, so this time I will only pay a symbolic gift and eat and drink more to compensate for all the previous losses at one time.

Just as Qin Huairu was thinking, she suddenly heard footsteps and voices, as if someone was coming to the middle courtyard to distribute invitations and wedding candies. Qin Huairu immediately picked up Banggeng and turned to go into the Jia family, ready to welcome Lu Weimin and Li Jing.

When Lu Weimin and Li Jing entered the middle courtyard, they looked around at the surrounding houses. After getting the marriage certificate, Lu Weimin had already introduced the details of the Siheyuan to his wife.

Li Jing knew that there were two families in the courtyard who had a bad relationship with her husband: one was the Jia family, who once slandered Wei Minge as an enemy spy. This behavior was too excessive and too despicable, and was absolutely unforgivable, so naturally they would not send invitations and wedding candies; the other family was Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

Although Yi Zhonghai was not a good person and helped the Jia family do evil, he did not have a direct and fierce conflict with Lu Weimin. At most, he was biased towards the Jia family. Aunt Yi was a good person and always greeted her in a friendly manner when they met. Therefore, Lu Weimin and his wife decided not to send invitations and wedding candies to the Jia family, and Yi Zhonghai's family did not send them either, but they would still send invitations and wedding candies to Aunt Yi.

Then, Lu Weimin and Li Jing walked into Aunt Yi's house. After Qin Huairu entered the house, she quietly hid by the window and peeked at what was happening outside.

At first, Qin Huairu was a little worried that Lu Weimin and his wife would not send invitations and wedding candies to the Jia family, but she felt relieved after seeing them enter Aunt Yi's house.

In her opinion, both the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai had disputes with Lu Weimin. However, even so, Aunt Yi still received the invitation and wedding candy. Logically, Lu Weimin would also send the wedding candy and invitation to the Jia family.

The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more confident she became. She sat down calmly and waited for Lu Weimin and his wife to come.

Thinking about eating wedding candy later, she couldn't help but feel excited. But the situation outside was not as she wished. Lu Weimin and his wife gave the invitation and wedding candy to Aunt Yi.

Aunt Yi took it with a big smile on her face and expressed her congratulations and gratitude to them. After the distribution, Lu Weimin and his wife went to other residents to deliver wedding candies and invitations.

Soon, every family in the Central Courtyard received the invitation and wedding candy, and Lu Weimin and his wife went straight to the backyard. Qin Huairu was waiting anxiously at home.

She had prepared what to say when Lu Weimin and his wife came to visit, but after waiting for a long time, they still didn't show up. Qin Huairu couldn't help it anymore, so she sneaked to the door and looked outside.

Many neighbors were chatting and laughing, but there was no sign of Lu Weimin and his wife. Qin Huairu listened carefully:

"I never thought that Lu Weimin and Li Jing would be so generous to every family, giving so many candies and cookies."

"That's right! They are really generous. They bought all the delicious White Rabbit candies. White Rabbit candies are very expensive. Most people would just buy some ordinary candies for their wedding."

"Where will the wedding be held tomorrow? That place is quite famous."

"I heard it's Hongbinlou!"

"Oh my! It's actually Hongbinlou! This is one of the most high-end wedding banquet venues in Beijing. The dishes are rich and delicious, and the environment is also very elegant! But it costs a lot, and ordinary people can't afford to hold a wedding banquet here!"

"Yes! If it weren't for Wei Min's wedding, we wouldn't have the chance to eat at such a high-end hotel!" "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's wedding. I wonder what delicious dishes will be served!"

So, are we going to Hongbinlou for dinner tomorrow?

Qin Huairu listened to the neighbors' discussions, and her heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. At this time, the neighbors found Qin Huairu standing at the door ** and began to whisper.

Qin Huairu simply walked out of the door and joined the conversation with the neighbors.

"Where are Weimin and his wife handing out candy and invitations? Why haven't they come out yet?"

Aunt Wang said, "They have already distributed the invitations in the middle courtyard, and now they are going to the back courtyard to distribute invitations and candies!"

Then she looked at Qin Huairu in surprise: "Could it be that even your Jia family didn't make it?"

"I thought every family in the yard had received candy and invitations, but I didn't expect that only your Jia family didn't." A neighbor said in surprise.

Hearing this, the neighbors all looked at Qin Huairu with a joking expression, as if they were gloating over her misfortune. Qin Huairu's face flushed and she felt very embarrassed.

She realized where the problem lay: invitations and candies were sent to everyone in the courtyard, even Yi Zhonghai's family received them, but the invitation was not sent to their Jia family.

"Hmph! Just forget about sending it! I don't want it even if you send it to me, just throw it away!" Qin Huairu said gritting her teeth, turned around and hurried home.

The neighbors watched Qin Huairu leave and laughed. "Haha, Qin Huairu is so funny. She was just asking about the invitation, and was clearly waiting for the Weimin couple to give her an invitation. When she heard that there was no invitation, her attitude changed immediately!"

"Yeah, it's so shameless!" Qin Huairu returned to her room and thought about how embarrassed she was in front of her neighbors. She felt angry and wronged, and almost cried:

"You are such a good fellow, Lu Weimin. You think you are so great once you have a little money. You are so arrogant! You dare to look down on our Jia family and deliberately bully us and embarrass us! I wonder how long you can be so arrogant. Sooner or later, you will get your comeuppance!"

It's finally time to get off work.

Yi Zhonghai bought 50 kilograms of corn flour and asked Jia Dongxu to help carry it into the house. Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the wedding candies and invitations on the table.

It would be embarrassing if everyone in the yard except them received the invitation and wedding candy. Now that they see that someone has received it, they feel much more at ease.

Jia Dongxu was also very happy to see the wedding candy and invitations. He learned from other neighbors that Wei Min's wedding would be held in Hongbinlou, a famous hotel.

He had wanted to eat there for a long time, but he had never had the financial means to do so. Now he finally had the chance to try it, and he discussed with Yi Zhonghai how much money he should give as a gift.

Jia Dongxu suggested that both families pay the same amount, one dollar. Weimin's family doesn't need that much money anyway. Aunt Yi thought it should be at least 20 cents!

Jia Dongxu was a little reluctant, so he said, "Let's just go our separate ways!"

After leaving Yi Zhonghai's house, he quickly walked into the house, thinking about going home to eat candy. "Where are the candy and invitations?" Jia Dongxu asked.

Hearing Jia Dongxu's question, Qin Huairu jumped up excitedly and said, "Candy and invitations? How dare you ask! Lu Weimin is such a shameless guy. He invited everyone except our Jia family!" After hearing this, Jia Dongxu's face became very ugly and he couldn't help but curse him, but he didn't dare to call him by his name.

"What a cowardly man! He even hides his insults!" Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu and said with a complaint.

It’s a good time! Welcoming the bride! The scene is very lively!

Lu Weimin and his wife walked into Sha Zhu's house holding wedding candy and invitations: "Zhu Zi, Liu Lan, my wife and I have brought you wedding candy and invitations! Don't forget to come to the wedding tomorrow!" Sha Zhu and Liu Lan came forward with smiles on their faces.

Liu Lan said excitedly: "I will definitely go! I will definitely go! Congratulations on your wedding!"

Sha Zhu responded with a smile: "That's for sure! I will go to Brother Wei Min and Sister Jing's wedding even if the sky falls!" Everyone was amused by Sha Zhu's exaggerated and funny words.

Lu Weimin noticed that He Yuzhu had changed a lot since he got married. He not only paid attention to hygiene but also knew how to dress up. It seemed that marriage could really change a person, either for the worse or for the better. It was obvious that Liu Lan made Shazhu even better.

After a while, Lu Weimin and his wife left and took Xiaohan back to his wife's home, where they were going to have dinner. When they arrived at his wife's home, his mother-in-law Zhang Yunfei changed into new clothes and her hairstyle had also changed. Her hair, which used to be combed high, fell naturally on her shoulders because she had no time to tidy it up, which made her look particularly charming. Zhang Yunfei was quite similar to her daughter.

Thinking about whether Li Jing would look more like her mother if she had long hair after marriage, Lu Weimin decided to persuade Li Jing to change her hair style to long hair to see what would happen. He thought it would definitely look good.

Zhang Yunfei greeted them with a smile: "You two have worked hard! Have you distributed all the invitations and wedding candies?"

“All sent out!”

"Mom, have you finished sending yours too?"

“I’ve sent them all.”

"That's great! Mom, you've worked hard!" Li Jing said gently.

"It's not tiring to do things for my precious daughter! As long as my daughter is doing well, I'm happy!"

"Thank you, Mom! Weimin treats me very well!" Li Jing said softly to Lu Weimin.

"Don't worry! I will take good care of Jingjing for the rest of her life!" Lu Weimin said firmly, holding her waist. Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction. Xiaohan on the side covered her mouth and chuckled.

Seeing this, Li Jing asked, "Xiao Han, why are you smiling so cutely?"

"I like the way Brother Weimin and Sister Jing are together. I'm really happy that you two are getting married." Xiaohan expressed her thoughts truthfully.

Li Jing was also very moved after hearing this and walked over to hug Xiao Han. "Xiao Han, thank you for your kindness! I am so happy that you wish me well!"

Lu Weimin smiled and said, "You can start calling her sister-in-law!"

Li Jing said, "Just call me whatever Xiaohan likes, whether it's 'Jing Jie' or 'Sister-in-law', it doesn't matter."

After dinner,

Lu Weimin brought Xiaohan back to the courtyard, even though they were going to get married the next day.

Lu Weimin still hasn't forgotten to study and is still buried in the sea of ​​books.

[Knowledge +1] [Knowledge +1] [Knowledge +1]

When Lu Weimin was concentrating on his studies, Cheng Zhihan came quietly, sat down beside the bed, and looked at him silently. Time passed silently.

"What's wrong?" Lu Weimin closed the book and looked at Xiaohan with a smile.

"Brother Weimin! You are going to have your wedding tomorrow. Can you help me realize a small wish?"

"Xiao Han, tell me what you want. No matter what your wish is, I will do my best to help you realize it!" "Can I soak your feet for you?"

Lu Weimin was a little surprised when he heard this. "But I've already taken a shower, why would you ask me for this?" Cheng Zhihan didn't respond directly.

"Brother Weimin, you just said you would fulfill my wish! No matter what your request is."

Lu Weimin nodded: "Okay! I also want to soak my feet. I haven't enjoyed it like this for a long time. Thank you, Xiaohan!" Seeing that Brother Weimin agreed, Xiaohan said happily, "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Xiao Han took the wash basin, filled it with hot water and added some cold water, then tested the temperature with her hand. When she thought it was right, she placed it next to her brother Wei Min's feet. "Brother Wei Min, the water temperature is just right, you can put your feet down!"
