Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 366 Do you want to go to Xiangjiang with me?
Seeing Yan Jiedi coming over with the couplet, Yi Weidong said in surprise, "I seem to have forgotten something, so I haven't paid the finishing fee yet."

Yan Jiedi took a pat and said: "If you arrange my dad again, I will sue my dad!"

Yi Weidong laughed and said, "You don't speak ill of me in front of the third master, and if you talk too much, I will promise you to others."

"Virtue. Hurry up and post it, I haven't bought firecrackers yet."

Yi Weidong moved the bench, pasted his house, the deaf old lady's house, the old man's house, He Yuzhu's house, He Yushui house, and the upside-down house. He turned around and said, "Go to Beixin Bridge to buy firecrackers."

Yan Jiedi said displeased: "There is still one family missing."

"One less family?"

At this time, the third master came out and coughed twice, and Yi Weidong remembered that he hadn't posted couplets for his father-in-law.

Yi Weidong stepped forward and said with a smile, "Third Master, I'll post it for you."

After taking the couplet from the hands of the third master, it took a few minutes to paste it, then sent the batter basin back, and led Yan Jiedi's hand to the Beixinqiao store.

Yan Jiedi said: "Brother Wei Dong, you can forget about my family."

"How can it be, I left it for my uncle to post."

"Obviously you forgot."

"No, I obviously forgot."

"Obviously, what the hell?"

"."

The simple-minded Yan Jiedi couldn't understand Yi Weidong's stalk, and wandered near the Beixinqiao Department Store, Yan Jiedi shyly broke away from Yi Weidong's hand, ran to the toy stall, and bought some small toys for He Xiaohehai.

Yi Weidong said: "Xie Di, you don't need to spend money, I keep you to buy hair ropes and so on."

Yan Jiedi smiled and said, "Forget that I still have money?"

Only then did Yi Weidong remember that Yan Jiedi had more than 200 yuan left before, and he was not short of money.
Together, we bought candied haws, marshmallows and other snacks. This time, we did not forget to buy firecrackers for Yan Jiedi’s family, and filled two large net bags full.

When Yi Weidong returned to the courtyard, he gave Yan Jiedi the net bag containing snacks and firecrackers.

Turning around and entering the inverted room, seeing Xiaodang crying on the bed wronged, he put down his net bag and asked the tearful Sophora japonica next to him, Sophora japonica told Qin Huairu that he came back to sit for a while and then left.

Yi Weidong was surprised: "You said your mother just left? Didn't pick you up for the New Year?"

Qin Huairu usually doesn't care about Xiaodang and Huaihua, they are already thirty years old, and they don't know how to take them over for a reunion dinner, so Yi Weidong won't be angry if you say that you will send them back after the meal, but it's okay to ignore them like this. It's so infuriating.

Huaihua's eyes were red: "My mother just dislikes us and doesn't want to take care of our affairs." Tears fell again as she spoke.

Yi Weidong's head suddenly grew dizzy, these two big girls could no longer be coaxed by a big white rabbit.

Coaxed: "Hua Hua, Xiao Dang, don't cry, your mother doesn't want you anymore, I want you!"

Xiao Dang replied: "Uncle Wei Dong, you have a sister-in-law."

Yi Weidong said angrily, "Is this a meaning? My eldest niece."

Then he said: "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore, it's the Chinese New Year, and grandpa and aunt are still waiting for us to make dumplings."

Yi Weidong took out two flower handkerchiefs, first wiped the Sophora japonica flower twice, and after coaxing it, he went to pull Xiao Dang up to wipe off his tears and said:
"I've grown up, don't cry anymore, you still have us!"

Xiao Dang has also grown into a big girl, Lihua is crying softly with rain, Yi Weidong feels distressed seeing it, Qin Huairu and Xu Damao are married and they are living a good life, but Xiao Dang and Huaihua have never been inseparable. Being treated by Xu Damao is like not having these two girls.

Yi Weidong secretly cursed Qin Huairu for not being involved in personnel affairs, and Xu Damao's parents were not a thing. They accepted the messy Qin Huairu, but they didn't want to see two more cheap granddaughters.

After a while, the two big girls stopped their tears, washed their faces again with warm water, and after using cream, they turned into pretty faces with peach cheeks and apricot noodles.

Yi Weidong said with emotion: "You have really become big girls."

Huaihua also shook her head, let the two braids shake, and asked with a smile:

"Uncle Wei Dong, do you look good?"

Yi Weidong looked at the familiar braid and asked, "Is this the braid Jie Di taught you?"

Huai Hua pouted and said, "Yeah, I don't even know how to praise me for being pretty."

"Yes, my two eldest nieces are both beautiful, as beautiful as the fairy daughters in the sky."

"It's almost there."

"Let's make dumplings."

Yi Weidong held one in each hand, and when he returned to the middle courtyard, Da Ma and Lou Xiao'e were already making dumplings.

Xiaodang and Huaihua washed their hands again and joined the dumpling making army. Yi Weidong could only take He Hai to play.

Yan Jiedi didn't come over on the night of New Year's Eve. After dinner, Yi Weidong played poker with Xiaodang and Huaihua, and Huaihua let out a sigh of relief.

Yi Weidong threw the poker away and said, "Forget it, you guys go back to sleep."

Xiao Dang seemed to be pardoned, and ran away quickly, pulling Sophora japonica, who had kowtowed and dozed off.

What Yi Weidong didn't know was that there was a big discussion in Yan's family. After dinner, the eldest brother, Yan Jiecheng, and the second child, Yan Jiefang, both returned to their small home, and Yan Jiekuang also went outside to set off cannons.

Yan Jiedi hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom and Dad, I don't want to go to school anymore."

Yan Bugui said in surprise: "It's Chinese New Year, why don't you go to school anymore? What do you want to do if you don't go to school?"

Yan Jiedi thought more carefully and said, "You also know that Weidong is doing business in Guangzhou, and he is short of manpower now, so he wants me to help."

Yan Jiedi's heart was beating wildly. If she said that she didn't want to go to school and wanted to go down with Wei Dongnan, her parents would definitely not be willing.

We can only use Weidong as an excuse, we are engaged, maybe our parents will agree!
Yan Bugui frowned and said, "No, if you don't go to school, you won't have your high school diploma. Besides, if you don't go to school, I won't have the money that Lao Yi will ask me to borrow tomorrow?"

It was said at the time that the borrowed money was for Yan Jiedi to go to high school. Although the money was transferred to Yan Jiefang to get married, Yan Bugui is still able to let Yan Jiedi finish high school if he doesn't go to school. If Yan Jiedi doesn't go to school, Lao Yi will not Ask Yan Bugui for money?

But how can Yan Bugui have the ability to pay back the money now?

The third mother said, "Why do we have to pay back the borrowed money? Let Lao Yi go to Weidong, and we have no money."

The third mother said that the borrowed money was spent on Yan Jiedi's schooling, and now the family's difficulty is to ask Yi Weidong to repay the debt.

Yan Jiedi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, her mother really lost her money, that is her daughter's 300 yuan, are you just thinking about it?
What's more, the money was taken away to give the second brother a wife.

Did he think this way when he promised himself to Weidong?Take this opportunity to transfer the account to Brother Wei Dong?

How can I have such parents!
The third master slapped his thigh and laughed, "My wife is still smart. Wei Dong should pay back the money."

After that, he asked Yan Jiedi: "Sini, tell Weidong tomorrow that we won't pay back the debt from Lao Yi."

Yan Jiedi's teeth itched with anger, why did she lose all her money in a blink of an eye?
But I can't say anything about the parents' own money to go to school!
Forget it, just be filial, but I only have 200 yuan in my small coffers.

Said: "I think Brother Weidong will agree. I will tell the uncle tomorrow that the uncle will not ask you for debts in the future."

Yan Bugui was very happy when he saw that the bills were dumped to Yi Weidong. Yi Weidong's son-in-law was pretty good, and he gave wild boar and chickens and ducks, which was better than his own son.

It's just that if Sini doesn't go to school, it is necessary to distinguish whether this matter is Weidong's idea or Sini's own idea, and asked:
"So Weidong wants you to go to Guangzhou? Or do you want to go to Guangzhou yourself?"

Yan Jiedi said without blushing without panting, "Weidong wanted to go, he couldn't take care of it by himself."

Yi Weidong made up that the old couple were doing business in Guangzhou, saying that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, no one was seriously managing it, and they were doing business secretly. He also took some chocolate, coffee, protein powder, and American ginseng. Wait for the English packaging to show them.

The poor old couple who had never been out of the capital were stunned for a moment. How did they know that Yi Weidong had actually gone to Xiangjiang.

If there is no engagement, Yan Bugui will definitely not let Yan Jiedi go with him, but this is already engaged, Yan Jiedi is half of the Yi family, and Yi Weidong said that he wants Yan Jiedi to go to do business together, he really has to consider Yi Weidong Views.

Yan Bugui asked, "Then why didn't Weidong tell us directly?"

Yan Jiedi was dumbfounded, this was a question she hadn't thought of, if she couldn't answer it well, she would go out to help tomorrow, and she would be a human being inside and out.

"I don't know what Wei Dong thinks!"

Yan Jiedi felt that it was not safe to say so, and said: "Maybe I feel ashamed if I tell you that if you disagree!"

The third master nodded and said: "It's true, the new uncle said he wanted you to help, it would be bad if we refused."

Sooner or later, Sini is a member of the Yi family. Since Yi Weidong asked Yan Jiedi to help with the business, he didn't care whether Yan Jiedi graduated from high school or not.

If he doesn't find a job, he has to go to the countryside to farm after finishing school, and he doesn't know whether he will be assigned to the Great Northwest or the Northeast Construction Corps, so it's better to go to Yi Weidong's side to take care of him!

Yan Jiedi said happily: "Dad, then you agree?"

The third master hesitated and said, "It's better for you to go to Weidong's side than to go to the countryside to farm."

Seeing that his wife wanted to agree, the third mother hurriedly said: "Sini, our family has no money now, you are engaged to help Weidong, and will you be paid?"

Yan Jiedi was dumbfounded, she hadn't written her horoscope yet, why did she talk about salary?

He hesitated and said, "I don't know either! Wei Dong didn't say anything."

The third mother turned on the nagging mode. Although they are engaged, they are still two families after all, so they can't work for nothing, right? How can there be a reason for a raised daughter to do nothing for him?

Yan Jiedi said, "How dare I ask Weidong for salary!"

"Then why not? You are still a girl from my Yan family. We don't want your salary. You will give us pension money on a monthly basis, and you will keep the other money. When you get married, it will be your dowry, so we won't pay you." Prepare the dowry."

It's not that the third mother is so kind and doesn't want to receive wages. The main reason is that she is so far away from home. If she leaves, there is no way to pay. It's better that as long as the pension money is paid, the dowry will be offset.

This means that the debt of 300 yuan has not been repaid, Sini's tuition and food expenses have also been saved, and she has received pension money early, and there is no need to prepare a dowry. It is a good thing to kill four birds with one stone!

Yan Jiedi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Before she was young, food and clothing at home were fair.

I ate less, my brother didn't eat too much, and felt that my parents loved me very much. Only when I grew up did I realize that there are so many calculations against children under the fairness. No wonder Yu Li said that my parents are stingy and don't care for their children. For the sake of.

Yan Jiedi said calmly: "I will give you the pension money, so do you agree that I will go with Brother Weidong?"

The third master thought about it and said, "As long as you discuss it with Weidong, we have no objection."

Yan Jiedi, who had been on tenterhooks all night, finally relaxed, and was finally able to leave with Brother Weidong, and said happily, "Then I will talk to Brother Weidong."

The third master waved his hand; "Go."

The third mother shouted: "Wait a minute."

Yan Jiedi turned back and asked, "Mom, what else is there?"

The third mother took Yan Jiedi out of the door and said: "You are just engaged, you can't just want a child, you know?"

"Want a child?"

Yan Jiedi felt that she had never been so shy before. The red glow covered her cheeks and ears, and her neck was hot and hot. She said shyly:
"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about! I will wait until the marriage certificate is obtained."

The third mother patted Yan Jiedi's little hand and said, "Weidong is a good boy, but you have to know how to measure, lest Weidong look down on us."

"Got it, Mom, we're still young, so we won't mess around."

Yan Jiedi pushed the third mother into the room, touched her red face, and stopped thinking about those embarrassing things. It took a long time before she felt that she had returned to normal, and couldn't wait to take pictures of Yi Weidong's bedroom window.

Yi Weidong had just finished washing, took off his coat, and lay down in bed, when he heard the window ringing, and said in a low voice, "Here we come."

Is there something urgent?There was no time to put on his coat, so he quickly put on cotton shoes and opened the door, letting Yan Jiedi into the room.

Seeing that Yi Weidong had taken off his coat, Yan Jiedi hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get into bed?"

"Anything urgent?"

"No, you go in quickly."

Yi Weidong returned to the bed, put on the big padded jacket again, and asked, "What's the matter so late?"

Yan Jiedi stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, facing Yi Weidong and said, "Brother Weidong, I want to go with you."

Yi Weidong was taken aback, what happened to this New Year's Eve?Why did it come out all of a sudden?

Asked: "Is something wrong? Why did you quarrel with the third master? Did you hit you?"

Yi Weidong pulled Yan Jiedi to check if he was beaten, Yan Jiedi said: "Brother Weidong, listen to me."

Of course, Yan Jiedi couldn't tell the truth, but said that going to school now is different from before. The old teachers have gone to feed the cows, and they can't learn much knowledge in school now.

Yi Weidong also knew that it was the same in school now, Xiaodang and Huaihua were just dawdling in school now.

Asked: "Then you want to go to Xiangjiang with me?"
