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

Neighbors living in the courtyard, including Yan Bugui, Aunt Yan, Liu Haizhong and Aunt Liu, all had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Everyone exclaimed, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a grand and warm wedding, and I can eat such a delicious meal. It's worth it!"

As the dishes came up one after another, Lu Weimin, his wife, mother-in-law, and matchmaker Director Zhang toasted each table.

Li Jing felt embarrassed and happy at times when she heard the blessings. Many of the blessings were about topics such as "giving birth to smart children early".

After the ceremony, Lu Weimin took his wife to the courtyard after leaving the wedding. She leaned on her husband with a happy expression, and did not go home directly, but rode together to enjoy this rare time for two people, feeling extremely happy.

After returning home about an hour and a half later, the two changed into comfortable clothes, and then Li Jing began to tidy up the house and arrange the furniture according to her own ideas. Soon some neighbors came to visit, including Yan Bugui and his wife, Sha Zhu, Liu Lan and others.

Everyone was amazed and envious when they saw the fully equipped new furniture and equipment in the room.

As night fell, Lu Wei took the initiative to take a bath; then he asked his wife to take a bath.

After washing up, Li Jing sat in the room, looking at Lu Weimin with her eyes like a fairy, imitating the words of an ancient woman, "My husband, please take a rest!"

This action surprised Lu Weimin. It turned out that his wife was so proactive and interesting.

"Madam, I'm here!" Lu Weimin replied with a smile. After closing the door, they lay down on the bed together.

Next, the two enjoyed the beautiful moments of their wedding night.

The next morning, Lu Weimin opened his eyes and felt extremely relaxed and happy. He hugged his sleeping wife and thought to himself that he would be happier with her company in the future.

He will work harder for a better life in the future.

Suddenly, Lu Weimin noticed that the long eyelashes on his wife's beautiful face trembled a few times. Obviously, she had woken up, but was pretending to be asleep because she was shy.

In this era, most newlywed wives will behave like this. Although they have been intimate on the wedding night, they will still feel shy when they wake up in the morning.

Lu Weimin smiled slightly, pretending that he didn't know his wife had woken up. He kissed her lightly on the face and praised her: "My Jingjing is really as beautiful as a fairy. I will love you well in the future."

As he said this, he threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and tidied the bedding for his wife.

Li Jing felt all these actions and words in her heart. She felt sweet in her heart, warm in her heart and very happy.

When she heard the sound of Lu Weimin getting dressed, Li Jing boldly opened her eyes a little and looked at her husband's figure with a light in her eyes.

On our wedding night yesterday,

Li Jing had always been the passive party and had never carefully examined her husband's body. But now she finally had the courage to take a closer look and could not help but marvel inwardly.

Thinking that this man who is almost perfect from the inside out will soon become my partner and my husband, I can't help but feel a surge of happiness in my heart.

Lu Weimin put on his clothes and went out, and Li Jing then got up and walked into the area behind the curtain.

A large wooden barrel filled with clean water was prepared there for daily use.

Li Jing started her daily routine of washing and dressing. Then she got dressed.

After leaving the house,

Lu Weimin received a lot of attention and warm greetings from the neighbors who got up early, and he responded with a smile.

Shen Zhu, who was standing by, asked in surprise: "Brother Weimin, you got up so early?"

Lu Weimin replied: "I'm used to it. I always feel uneasy when I stay in bed and sleep. It seems like I'm wasting time!" Shen Zhu smiled and said: "I feel the same way!"

During the conversation, he also asked others how long his vacation would last: "I still have two days of wedding leave left!" Then, the two chatted with the neighbors for a while, then rode to the nearest market and brought back breakfast.

He thought his wife would be awake and ready, so he opened the door.

Just as he expected, Li Jing had woken up from her deep sleep at this moment, made her bed tidy and sat down to look through the red envelope gift list.

Seeing that his wife had gotten up, Lu Weimin smiled and said, "Jingjing, you're awake! Here are the buns and soy milk I bought for you as breakfast."

Li Jing was grateful and happy that he had gotten up early to prepare breakfast for her, so she stood up to greet him. But she only took a few steps forward and uttered a soft "Hey!".

"Don't move anymore, I'll serve it to you!"

The response followed.

She nodded shyly, agreeing to let Lu Weimin take her to sit on the edge of the bed.

Lu Weimin handed her a steamed bun. Li Jing took a sweet bite and reached out to take it.

While eating breakfast, the couple was discussing where to go for fun today.

After all, it was the last two days of their vacation, and enjoying each other was the important thing.

At the end of breakfast, Li Jing took the red envelope account book and planned to count the total amount of gifts. But this was not because she cared about the value of the money itself.

It is out of etiquette considerations, and because favors of the same amount will need to be repaid in the future, so the accounts must be kept clear and there must be no ambiguity.

The couple sat together and examined the gifts in detail.

Seeing the number one gift donor, Lu Weimin couldn't help but smile. Yan Bugui: 20 cents as a gift and a pair of Spring Festival couplets.

Yan Bugui was the first to donate money.

Most are just a few cents or a dime.

This is also in line with the economic conditions of that period.

Many people presented food: mung beans, rice, red dates, corn flour, mixed flour, Northeastern mushrooms, sesame oil, pickled meat, sliced ​​noodles, etc.

The person who contributed the most money was Lou Zhenhua, who gave 100 yuan.

On average, gifts from relatives and friends on the spouse's side are larger, while gifts from courtyard residents are smaller.

The total amount of all gifts (including the value of physical objects) is: one hundred and ninety-eight yuan and ninety-eight cents.

You know, at that time, most people received only a few yuan in gifts for their weddings. But Lu Weimin and his wife received nearly 200 yuan, which was already a large sum.

Li Jing was also very surprised: "I didn't expect that we could receive so many gifts. These are all deep friendships!"

Lu Weimin also said: "We have to repay this kindness! When they hold their wedding in the future, we will give them the same amount or double it..."

Li Jing nodded: "Indeed, we must keep this list well."

Then, Li Jing took the initiative to ask Lu Weimin to accompany her to walk around the yard and say hello to the neighbors. Lu Weimin readily agreed.

After they came down, everyone had a better impression of her and felt that she was very kind. The aunts gathered together to praise Lu Weimin's wife for her beauty, virtue and courtesy.

After greeting the neighbors, the two returned home and went back to bed. Although they didn't do anything else, they just snuggled up to each other and chatted.

The adjustment period of the newlyweds' life together began.

After all, we were just lovers before and never really lived together. Now we live together.

You need to adapt to each other's living habits. This is a gradual process and requires hard work.

The relationship between Lu Weimin and his wife became closer and closer in this constant adjustment, until noon. Li Jing asked Lu Weimin to lie down and rest while she went to cook.

Seeing his beautiful and virtuous wife, Lu Weimin was in a very good mood and quite satisfied. At noon, Lu Weimin took his bride out for a trip.

In the morning, when they were lying on the bed and whispering to each other, Lu Weimin naturally developed some love for his beautiful and virtuous wife.

Moreover, the bride's eyes were clearly filled with admiration, her eyes were full of tenderness, but she didn't express it first. If Lu Weimin was willing, he could have an intimate act at any time.

However, he thought that since this was the first day of their marriage, he should not indulge his desires too much, otherwise he might stay in his room all day without going out. It would be better to control himself and leave it until the evening, so that he could go out and play in the afternoon.

Because of the control, I had time to travel in the afternoon.

I visited many places, of course by bicycle.

This will make Li Jing less tired.

Lu Weimin and his wife were very happy throughout the afternoon. On the way home.

Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Li Jing hugged Lu Weimin's waist tightly, with her face pressed against his back, and said sweetly: "Dear, I am very happy today! Thank you!"

"Me too! Wife, it's so great to have you!" Lu Weimin said, holding his wife's hand.

at dusk,

Li Jing was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Xiao Han was helping.

This scene seems similar to usual.

But in reality it is different.

Today, Li Jing has become the head of the Lu family, and all household affairs are managed jointly by her and Xiaohan.

Lu Weimin's life was very comfortable, he only needed to read books, visit friends, and wait for dinner. This was also a helpless move.

He wanted to help do something.

But his virtuous wife would not let him. Lu Weimin felt sorry for his wife.

He also planned to ask Sha Zhu and his wife to help with cooking as usual. But his wife disagreed.

How can you cook on the first day after marriage? Lu Weimin sighed that he married a rare virtuous wife in this era: not only is she beautiful and kind, but she is also hardworking and capable.

So, he went to Sha Zhu's house to chat. During the chat, Sha Zhu couldn't help asking:

"Brother Weimin, will you let me cook for you in the future?

Is it because I am not good at making the taste that you, sister-in-law, and Xiaohan like? If you are not satisfied, please tell me and I will work hard to learn!

Please let me continue to cook for you.

Even if I don’t help you cook for one day, I feel like something is missing and my heart is empty! ”

Liu Lan next to him also agreed: "Wei Min, just let my Zhuzi help you cook. If you don't let him help you cook, he will feel uncomfortable all over."

Hearing this, Lu Weimin laughed, patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder, and said:

"Zhu Zi, since you like cooking for me so much, I will let you cook.

But not yet. We have to wait.

Your sister-in-law just got married recently, and she is also happy to cook, so let her be busy for a while. If she doesn't want to do it, you can come and help us.
