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

"Okay!" Lu Weimin nodded and dipped his feet.

Cheng Zhihan immediately squatted down, gently rubbed her feet, looked at Lu Weimin with a smile and said, "Brother, do you feel comfortable?" "It's really good! Just wash it twice." Even so, Lu Weimin was still not used to letting a girl wash his feet - after all, Xiaohan was thirteen years old and not yet fourteen.

"How can I be so casual?" The little girl continued to wash attentively for nearly fifteen minutes before she left with the bucket, smiling.

Just then, Liu Lan happened to walk out the door with a basin of water.

Xiao Han smiled and said: "Sister Liu Lan, are you also soaking Brother Zhuzi's feet?"

Liu Lan whispered, "That's right. He is a rough man who doesn't like to move and hates washing his feet. No matter how I ask him to move, he won't listen. I have to wash his feet for him."

Although Liu Lan kept muttering, Xiao Han noticed a faint smile on her face, so she smiled slightly and walked into the room.

Then he said, "Brother Weimin, good night!"

He also replied: "Good night!" Lu Weimin prepared to go to bed.

Because the next day was an important wedding ceremony.

He got up early before dawn. Xiaohan did not go to school that day and stayed at home to take care of things.

He Yushui, Liu Lan and a group of enthusiastic and understanding neighbors decorated their home to look festive. Then they rode their bikes to my mother-in-law's house.

There was also a festive atmosphere there, with betrothal gifts and dowries piled up in rows in the yard.

Lu Weimin stepped into his mother-in-law's house excitedly. When he saw his wife, he was stunned.

Li Jing was wearing a brand new red dress, looking particularly beautiful. "Wife, you are so beautiful today! You are just like a fairy from heaven!" Lu Weimin was so happy to marry such a beautiful wife.

Hearing her husband's praise, Li Jing felt sweet in her heart and asked mischievously: "Hearing you say that, am I not beautiful normally?"

"Of course not, it has always been beautiful!" Lu Weimin replied quickly.

Li Jing smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents: "You are quite sweet." In the past, Li Jing didn't like to smile much and seemed a little cold, but after dating Lu Weimin, she smiled a lot more than before.

At this time, Zhang Yunfei walked into the living room barefoot: "Weimin, have you had breakfast?" "Not yet." Lu Weimin said. In his impression, his mother-in-law has always been noble and generous. This time, seeing his mother-in-law in such a casual image, he felt closer to her.

"Breakfast is ready, let's eat quickly!" said Zhang Yunfei.

Seeing her mother coming out barefoot, Li Jing complained, "Mom! Brother Weimin will laugh at you for doing this!"

"Isn't it just that he's not wearing shoes? A son-in-law is like half a son to me, and we're all family. It doesn't matter!" Zhang Yunfei said disapprovingly.

Seeing this, Lu Weimin quickly explained: "It's okay! Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable at home."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei was very happy: "I was right about my son-in-law, he even spoke for my mother!" Li Jing saw her husband speaking for his mother and glared at him playfully. But she was still very happy that her husband and mother got along so well.

After breakfast, when the time was right, Lu Weimin helped his wife and mother-in-law out of the door. He first arranged for his wife to get in the car, and then he discussed the route with his mother-in-law and the dowry delivery staff to prevent mistakes. Finally, he got in the car.

Although some traditions state that parents cannot accompany their daughters to the man's house, Lu Weimin doesn't care. As long as they are happy, it's fine.

Lu Weimin sat in the back seat to accompany his wife, while his mother-in-law sat in the front seat. The car slowly drove forward, followed by several cars loaded with various items.

If the place was not too small to accommodate them, they would have loaded a few more carts. Even so, this was still one of the most generous dowries and gifts in that era, attracting everyone's attention.

It attracted a lot of onlookers along the way, and even many passers-by followed to watch.

Finally we arrived at Nanluoguxiang Hutong, which was crowded with people. The car did not drive directly into the alley, but stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Zhang Yunfei got off the car first, and the scene suddenly became noisy when people saw her.

"The bride is so beautiful! She just has a bit more mature charm!"

"How handsome he is! What does it matter if he's a little mature? If you want to marry me, I'm willing!" "You're dreaming!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! This is not the bride! This is my sister-in-law's mother!" Xiao Han was furious when he heard this.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't talk nonsense! This is the groom's mother-in-law!" Sha Zhu said with a straight face. "Sorry! I made a mistake. This is the bride's mother!"

"Wow! The bride's mother is so beautiful! The daughter must be even more beautiful! The groom is so lucky!"

At this time, Zhang Yunfei had finished chatting with her daughter and son-in-law Lu Weimin.

Lu Weimin got out of the car first, then walked over to help his wife out, and the car door slowly opened.

Li Jing got out of the car slowly.

There was an uproar at the scene.

"This is the bride, so beautiful! The one just now was also very beautiful, it seems she is the bride's mother."

"This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful mother and daughter!"

"The groom is so handsome! The bride is so pretty! What a perfect couple!"

Accompanied by everyone, Lu Weimin, Li Jing, Zhang Yunfei and Xiaohan walked into the alley and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard immediately became noisy, with everyone praising the handsome groom and the beautiful bride, saying they were a perfect match.

Qin Huairu hid aside and watched, her heart full of jealousy and resentment. The Jia family was the only one not invited to today's wedding banquet.

When cars loaded with rich dowries and gifts drove into the yard, all the neighbors were stunned.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and envied. It was so rich!

New beds, new wardrobes, new tables, new sofas, sewing machines, imported radios, new bicycles, watches and more!

All the most high-end wedding items of this era are available.

Qin Huairu was shocked and was going crazy with jealousy.

She had been proud of the sewing machine she had bought for her wedding, even though it cost a lot of money.

After marriage, I had to live frugally.

But she still thinks it's worth it.

Whenever she thinks of the surprised and envious looks people had when they saw her sewing machine, she feels very proud and happy.

Until today, when she saw the items Lu Weimin and Li Jing brought with them for their wedding, her pride was completely crushed.

In addition to the beautiful bride, rich gifts and dowry, the bride's beautiful mother also amazed everyone. It was the first time they saw such a stunning mother-daughter combination.

It's an eye-opener. In the middle courtyard.

Lu Weimin's large and small rooms were emptied so that he could move in the new furniture. The old furniture was sold to the neighbors.

Xiaohan cleverly brought a chair for the bride to sit and wait at the door, and only let her into the house after all the things were in place.

There was a huge crowd of onlookers, including residents living in the compound as well as neighbors living in the neighboring courtyards.

Everyone was attracted by the beauty of the bride and her mother.

"The bride is so beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful bride!" "The bride's mother is also very outstanding! She has a very high temperament!" "The groom is also very handsome! What a perfect match!"

Young men such as Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang also squeezed in front of the crowd and watched with curiosity.

“When I look for a partner in the future, I must find someone as beautiful as Lu Weimin’s wife!” Such beauty left a deep impression on them and raised their standards for future mate selection.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the things in the house were quickly put in place. "It's finally quiet!" Li Jing sat on the new bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Honey! Thank you for your hard work!" Lu Weimin sat down beside her, held her hand and spoke gently.

"It's all worth it. I feel so happy to marry you!" Li Jing said as she leaned into Lu Weimin's arms. Zhang Yunfei happened to come in at this time, smiled at the sight of this heartwarming scene, and silently turned around and walked out again.

In the blink of an eye, the wedding day is approaching.

Lu Weimin, his wife Li Jing, mother-in-law, Xiaohan and others went to Hongbinlou.

Then a large group of neighbors and friends came to attend the wedding and banquet. Soon the whole courtyard was mostly empty, leaving only Qin Huairu and her son Banggeng, and a few elderly people who were not in good health. Qin Huairu felt very wronged and cried loudly on the bed, saying to her son Banggeng:

"My dear child, you are awesome. Your mother has been wronged and looked down upon. You must work harder and grow up as quickly as possible to make your mother proud!"

Hongbinlou was specially decorated for today's wedding. This was done according to my mother-in-law's request, and many of the decorations were bought by her, making the venue look festive and luxurious.

After Lu Weimin and his wife arrived at Hongbin Building, they greeted the guests at the entrance.

The neighbors of the courtyard were shocked to see the luxurious furnishings and thought the dishes must be excellent as well.

Even the neighbors they see every day, including the people they just met, were welcomed by Lu Weimin and his wife. Many neighbors watched the excitement from outside and did not go in, while some came in and left.

As the number of guests continued to increase,

The bride's colleagues and leaders, such as Mr. Lou, Director Zhang, Stationmaster Wang, Meng Jianjun, Lao Chen, Aunt Zhou, Company Captain Huang, Squad Leader Yao, Technician Ma, Technician Cao, Team Leader Tong, as well as the bride's friends from her student days and her relatives from her natal family, all came to congratulate.

Many of the guests arrived by car or bicycle, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Neighbors such as Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were extremely excited and said they had broadened their horizons.

Although he had been standing for a long time, Lu Weimin did not feel tired because of his good physique. Instead, he was very worried about his wife.

"What's the point of standing for such a short period of time? Have you forgotten that I am a dancer? This is just a part of basic training!" Li Jing said with a smile.

After hearing this, Lu Weimin finally felt relieved.

Finally the time came, all the guests had arrived, and everyone entered the Hongbin Building.

……

Among the fathers and elders on both sides, only the mother-in-law Zhang Yunfei was still there. Director Zhang, as the family representative and matchmaker, gave a speech on the stage, followed by the woman's representative Zhang Yunfei.

When Zhang Yunfei came on stage, the whole audience became excited, and then Lu Weimin walked onto the stage with his bride.

Lu Weimin and Li Jing briefly shared with the guests how they met and fell in love. As they spoke, Li Jing became excited, her eyes reddened, and she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Lu Weimin immediately hugged his wife to comfort and support her. There was warm applause at the scene.

After finishing his speech, Lu Weimin helped his wife to the table and began to serve the dishes. The guests were all pleasantly surprised to see the sumptuous food on the table.
