Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 262 Silly Pillar's Marriage
Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was too shy today, He Yuzhu came over and put his arm around Yi Weidong's shoulder and said, "I'll show you a hand today, come and help me."

Yi Weidong wanted to say something when he was dragged into the uncle's house by He Yuzhu.

He Yushui asked, "Brother, where is sister-in-law?"

"I'm cleaning up in that house!"

Said to Yi Weidong: "Come on, you peel the skin and I have something to do with my sister-in-law."

Putting the paring knife in Yi Weidong's hand, he ran away.

Yi Weidong was beaten for dinner, and He Yuzhu looked at Yi Weidong and said, "Weidong, your knife skills are already very good. I will teach you how to cook in the back kitchen when you have time."

Yi Weidong has space to help. Although the practice time is very short, the knife skills are indeed good enough to meet daily needs.

Yi Weidong asked: "Can't you teach at home? Why do you have to go to the back kitchen?"

He Yuzhu stretched out his hand and gave him a headache: "You look smart, why are you so stupid, you can just throw it into the cauldron if you don't like it."

It turned out to be this meaning, that is, what to do with the cauldron, you should practice the dish first, whether it is delicious or not, throw it into the cauldron, and there is no waste of materials at all.

Today is the day of engagement, He Yuzhu prepared four special dishes, drank with the uncle, after dinner, the uncle said:

"Zhuzi, take a look at what else is missing, and think about it first so that you don't have to buy it temporarily when you get the time."

He Yuzhu said: "It's almost done, it's enough for my apprentices to come and cook for me."

Yi Weidong interjected: "I still have wild pork, which will be used on the banquet table, and I have enough wine."

The wild boar in Yi Weidong's room hadn't been eaten yet, so it happened to be used on the banquet table this time, otherwise a wild boar wouldn't know when to eat it!
"Let's talk about it at that time, your wine is too expensive, I feel a little distressed."

Other houses are full of loose wine for two catties, and Yi Weidong's wine is not less than two yuan a bottle, even if it is too high-end.

Yi Weidong said: "Then let me get some Jingzhi Baigan, one bottle at a time."

"This line, it's better than loose wine."

After the eighth day of the eighth day, I have to be busy with things every day. I repainted the house and pasted newspapers, and moved all the old furniture into the inverted house.

In the middle week, I accompanied the three of them and He Yushui to fish for a day. This was the last fishing this winter, and I dared not go fishing on the river again.

When the fourteenth day came, Lou Xiaoe's dowry furniture was delivered, and she went back to her mother's house, waiting for He Yuzhu to pick up her relatives and get married.

In a blink of an eye, it was sixteen. Although the wedding was in the afternoon, they all took leave of absence and started to clean up at home.

With sharp eyes, Yi Weidong discovered that the West Wing, which had been unlocked all year round, was actually locked, and said to He Yushui:
"Sister, you see that Sister Qin's family doesn't even want to show up!"

Xu Damao didn't show up for the past two days, and Qin Huairu didn't expect Qin Huairu to lock the door, so he didn't plan to show up!
He Yushui said with a smile: "Last night, Sister Qin brought a quilt and said that today she would take the old lady to see the sticks. The whole family went."

Qin Huairu did a good job of finding this way. He couldn't come back on the day he went to the juvenile prison, and he happened to miss He Yuzhu's wedding ceremony, and he could let Mrs. Zhang go to see Banggen.

"I didn't expect Sister Qin to be so generous." Yi Weidong laughed.

A quilt cost several dollars, yet Qin Huairu was willing to give such a generous gift.

Thinking about it again, He Yuzhu himself didn't know how much money he had lent to Qin Huairu, and nothing Qin Huairu gave would be worth He Yuzhu's help.

In the afternoon, all the people from the courtyard came to help, and all the tables, chairs and benches in the courtyard were moved in, making up ten tables.

He Yuzhu was held down by the rain for a while, and he cleaned up in a decent way. Seeing that it was almost time, the old man entered the house and urged:
"Are you ready? The time is almost up."

He Yushui said: "That's all right, I have to clean up my brother!"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Sister, why don't you tidy up the room?"

He Yushui turned his head and glared, and said, "You're the one who talks a lot."

After He Yuzhu dressed up and came out, the bicycle team had been waiting for a long time. There were twelve brand-new Red Star bicycles produced by the rolling mill, and they were the team to welcome the bride today.

The elder and the older mother took the lead, followed by He Yuzhu, He Yushui and Yi Weidong, and then friends and apprentices from the courtyard house and the rolling mill came to help.

At this time, it is common to use a bicycle to push the new daughter-in-law into the house. Wherever this team of twelve bicycles rides, it is a beautiful scenery.

Riding along the way attracted the attention of everyone along the road. Many people had never seen this Hongxing bicycle and asked about it, but they made an advertisement for Hongxing bicycle.

At this time, there are no marriage troubles of later generations, new era and new customs, and there are not too many rules. When I arrived at Lou Dong's house, Lou's family did not make any troubles. I entered the house and drank Sanzi brown sugar tea. The clothes, boxes, two quilts and other things were taken out and tied to the bicycle.

He Yuzhu entered the east room and walked out leading the shy Lou Xiao'e in a red dress.

Lou Dong hired someone to take a few photos, and finally left Lou's house after a lot of excitement.

When they returned to the courtyard, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e came to their own house in the courtyard amidst the shouts of several bear children, brides and wives.

An Eight Immortals table was placed in front of the door with a plaster bust of the leader on it. The grand master was the master of ceremonies. Seeing everyone gathered around, he shouted: "The revolutionary wedding of Comrade He Yuzhu and Comrade Lou Xiao'e begins now."

Then he said: "The first thing to do next is to bow three times to the great leader."

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe bowed solemnly three times, and the uncle then shouted:

"There is no chorus. There is no."

The uncle started, and everyone present sang loudly. After the song was sung, the uncle shouted: "Next, the third item, the husband and wife worship each other, and send them to the bridal chamber."

Saying that it is a bow is actually He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe facing each other and bowing to each other.
He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe turned around and stood facing each other, their bodies slightly bent. After the ceremony, He Yuzhu and Yi Weidong escorted Lou Xiaoe into the new house.

He Yushui then came in and put his arms around Lou Xiao'e and smiled, "Sister-in-law, when will you add a little nephew to me?"

Lou Xiao'e was only able to enter the house at this time, but she was asked by her sister-in-law when she had a nephew, but she just blushed and lowered her head and said nothing. Seeing Yushui's question, He Yuzhu immediately started to push people away: "Go, go, come here to make trouble if you don't help."

Even Yi Weidong who didn't speak was kicked out, the uncle said: "Weidong, the tables are all seated, you can serve the food."

"Okay, sir, I'll go right away."

Yi Weidong entered the kitchen and asked Ma Hua, who was in charge of the kitchen today, "Is the food ready?"

"It's all good." Using a special vat borrowed from the canteen, it was placed on the briquettes stove and kept simmering. Yi Weidong and his two apprentices brought out four stews and one egg soup in one pot. .

Two bottles of wine per table, enough steamed buns, the guests left after eating and drinking, and the neighbors in the courtyard also brought back their own tables, chairs and benches when they left, and Yi Weidong was guided by the uncle again Each family gave some candies as a thank you gift.

After returning, the whole family can sit down to have dinner, and there is no need to do it alone, just reheat the dishes on the table, and He Yuzhu returned to the new house amid He Yushui's teasing laughter after dinner.

Although it was not the first time for the two of them, Lou Xiaoe was still very embarrassed to see the brand-new house illuminated by red candlelight.

After the two washed up awkwardly, He Yuzhu sat next to Lou Xiao'e and whispered, "Xiao'e, let's rest!"

Without waiting for Lou Xiao'e's response, she fiddled with Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiaoe pressed He Yuzhu's hand and said, "Why don't you go and see if those naughty kids in the yard are eavesdropping!"

Only then did He Yuzhu remember that there were a few mischievous people in the yard, and he forgot about it in his impatience, and said:
"I'll go take a look."

He Yuzhu first bent down to look under the bed, Yan Jiekuang stared at He Yuzhu, then smiled and shouted: "Brother Silly Zhu, good evening!"

Lou Xiao'e was taken aback. She didn't expect that there were people hiding under the bed. Fortunately, she didn't say anything embarrassingly private just now.

He Yuzhu scolded: "Little bastard, come out for me."

Yan Jiekuang crawled out from under the bed, He Yuzhu looked at Li Jianjun inside and said, "Why, do you still want me to invite you out?"

Li Jianjun shouted: "Brother Silly Zhu, didn't we fall asleep playing hide-and-seek just now? We didn't come here to listen to the wall."

He Yuzhu smiled and scolded: "Get out, you said I can trust you? Get out of here."

Yan Jiekuang and Li Jianjun happily patted the dirt on their bodies and shouted to Lou Xiaoe: "Xiao'e, let's rest."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away. Angrily, He Yuzhu picked up a shoe and threw it over, shouting:

"Little bastard, I will settle accounts with you tomorrow."

He Yuzhu picked up the shoes and put them on, and said to Lou Xiaoe who was covering her face with her hands:
"I'll go around and come back."

He Yuzhu went out and walked around his house, then went back to the house and closed the door, sat down beside Lou Xiaoe and said:

"Xiao'e, it's all over now, all the naughty ones will be chased away."

Lou Xiaoe said shyly, "Hmm!"

He Yuzhu thought that he could finally enter the bridal chamber, and reached out to unbutton Lou Xiao'e's clothes.At this time, the door was knocked, and Yi Weidong's voice came: "Brother, open the door!"

He Yuzhu suppressed Xinzhong's anger, why did Weidong come today, and asked, "Weidong, what can we talk about tomorrow!"

Yi Weidong shouted: "It will be too late to talk about it tomorrow."

He Yuzhu said to Lou Xiaoe: "Let's wait a little longer, I have wronged you."

"Go and open the door, don't really have anything to do." Lou Xiao'e gave He Yuzhu a white look, as if I was in a hurry.

He Yuzhu smiled and got up, put on his shoes, and said, "Come on, come on."

Angrily, he walked over and pulled the latch, and said, "Weidong, what do you want?"

Yi Weidong smiled and pushed He Yuzhu away and walked into the room, and smiled at Lou Xiao'e: "Sister-in-law, I have delayed your and my brother's bridal chamber."

Lou Xiao'e blushed when she said that: "Weidong, what else do you need?"

Yi Weidong laughed and said, "Who made my brother so sloppy!"

Speaking of opening the four-legged wardrobe, He Yuzhu followed and saw a little girl inside the wardrobe, and said in surprise:

"Li Ling, why are you in the closet?"

Seeing that she had been discovered, Li Ling said timidly, "Brother Silly Zhu, we are playing hide-and-seek!"

Lou Xiao'e, who was behind, couldn't hold back the first, and turned around and lay on the bed, giggling non-stop.

Yi Weidong saw that Li Ling was only wearing socks and no shoes, so he reached out and hugged Li Ling: "I'll take you home first."

Yi Weidong had already discovered that the three were hiding in the house, but He Yuzhu only found the two under the bed, ignoring Li Ling in the closet, so Yi Weidong had no choice but to knock on the door and bring Li Ling out.

Holding Li Linglin went out and said: "Brother, there is no one else, you and sister-in-law hurry up to bridal chamber!"

"Get out, you'll be naughty too."

Yi Weidong carried Li Ling to the backyard, handed it to Li Jianjun who had a mean smile on his face, and said, "Okay, go to bed quickly, you have class tomorrow."

Li Jianjun said with a smile: "I have been kicked out, so I can only go back to sleep."

Yi Weidong shook his head, went back to sleep, and was really speechless to these little friends. Hearing what fun things can sound in the corner of the wall when they get married, all of them are still enjoying it.

I don't know what time He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe went to bed. Anyway, Yi Weidong didn't see the newlyweds go out all morning. After dinner, Yi Weidong and He Yushui went to work together.

When Lou Xiaoe woke up faintly, through the window pasted with big red happy characters, she could see that the warm winter sun had already sprinkled the sun, oops, she overslept this time, and pushed He Yuzhu's hand in her arms aside, He got up and pushed He Yuzhu and said:

"Get up soon, the sky is bright."

He Yuzhu said in a daze: "It's okay to go to work later, come on my wife, let's get up later."

As he spoke, he ignored Lou Xiao'e's protest and pulled Lou Xiao'e back into the bed.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning when Lou Xiao'e went out, and she went to Da Ma's house with a blushing face and drank a bowl of rice porridge, which was considered breakfast.

The first mother waited for Lou Xiao'e to eat and said: "Ezi, everything is ready for you, just go back to your mother's house directly."

Lou Xiaoe smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt."

It was noon soon, and Qin Jingru got off the bus from Beixinqiao Station with a complicated expression. The family had already complained about Qin Jingru running to the city. Most of them were not optimistic about Qin Jingru's ability to marry in the city, saying that It's because he didn't eat the planned food, and he still wanted to run to the city every day.

Although Qin Jingru has already got the money from Xu Damao to buy the job, she still doesn't know when she will be able to buy the job. Without a job, she is still a country girl.

I don't know when Xu Damao and his cousin Qin Huairu will get divorced, and whether there will be any accidents in marrying Xu Damao and moving his household registration.

Just as Qin Jingru was about to go to the courtyard, looking at the Beixinqiao Department Store not far away, Qin Jingru turned around and bought some pastries for Xiaodang and Huaihua, it was not appropriate to go there empty-handed.

Qin Jingru went in and bought a bag of peach cakes and a bag of cloud cakes. After the salesperson tied them up with paper rope, she carried them out and walked out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the door, she packed a person and took a few steps back, almost getting hit. fell to the ground.

Before I looked up, I heard the other side say: "Oh, isn't this Huaihua's aunt? You see, I was so anxious that I almost knocked you down. Did it hurt?"

Qin Jingru looked up, and it turned out to be the second aunt in the courtyard. He frowned and supported his hurt chest and said, "So it's the second aunt. It's okay. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Since they are acquaintances, it's fine, Qin Jingru was just bumped, just take it easy.

The second aunt said with a smile: "I'm here to buy a catty of brown sugar, why don't you wait for me and let's go back together?"

Years and years later, I introduced a few partners to my second child, Liu Guangtian. Either Liu Guangtian didn't like the girl, or the girl looked down on Liu Guangtian. After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, I still haven't met him. I'm usually busy, so I just There are not so many girls who will go on blind dates together.

The second aunt didn't expect to meet Qin Jingru, she had a talk with Liu Guangtian years ago, Qin Jingru was also the subject of the second aunt's investigation, and she originally thought that if she couldn't find someone after the year, she would introduce Qin Jingru to Liu Guangtian. It happened to be here at Beixinqiao Department Store, so I could chat with Qin Jingru again.

Qin Jingru said with a smile: "That's good! I'll wait for the second aunt."

The second aunt just asked to wait for a while, and Qin Jingru had no reason not to agree. By the way, I asked the second aunt about the recent courtyard house to see if there was anything new.

The second aunt went into the store and bought a packet of brown sugar, and when she came out she said, "Let's go, Aunt Huaihua, I have something to tell you!"
