The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 4 The Marriage of Xu Damao

The next morning, Yan Jiecheng was washing by the pool when he saw Xu Damao coming out of the courtyard: "Xu Damao, isn't it Sunday today? What are you doing so early?"

"I'm going to get a marriage certificate with my partner today, and I'll deliver wedding candies to your house when I come back tonight." Xu Damao said happily.

"Who is your partner? Why haven't you mentioned it before?" Yan Xiecheng said puzzled.

"Hi! You'll know when you come back in the evening, I'm in a hurry and I'm leaving first." After speaking, he walked out of the courtyard.

Good guy, this Xu Damao is definitely a sensible person. When he was not sure about his death, he didn't reveal any news, for fear that others would disturb him.

If this idiot knew that Xu Damao got married today, he would be so angry!Yan Jiecheng thought to himself.

He didn't wash his face anymore, and went straight to the middle courtyard, and went straight to Shazhu's house.

"Silly, silly, are you up?"

"What's your name? I don't work today, Sunday."

"I didn't tell you to go to work. Did you know that Xu Damao got married today?" Yan Xiecheng asked.

"You won't lie to me, will you?" Silly Zhu said depressedly.

"It's okay, why am I teasing you with this? Just now Xu Damao went to get his marriage certificate. You and Xu Damao have been enemies for so many years. You don't even know if he is married or not!"

"I don't even know when he fell in love with. I haven't paid attention to him for a long time. During this time, I was busy with the old Jia's affairs."

"Hi! You two are about the same age as Liu Guangqi in this yard. This Xu Damao is married, and this Liu Guangqi has a date. Are you the only unmarried older youth in the yard? Are you not in a hurry?"

Silly Zhu: "Why don't you be in a hurry, I'm going to get angry, so what should I do? No matter how anxious you are, you can't make do with finding a partner, why don't you help me and ask your dad if there are any beautiful unmarried young girls in their school?"

"Hey! How dare you think, just my old man? It's no good for him to do things for you. He's saying that all the people in his school are teachers. Can educated people think of you, and you're pretty?"

Silly Zhu: "I'm not bad at this. I have two big houses and I'm a cook. I don't have to worry about food and drink. I earn more than 30 yuan a month. When I get married, I don't have to wait on my parents-in-law all day long. Like me conditions, it’s hard to find, isn’t it?”
"According to what you said. Then why haven't you married yet? You are not young at this age."

Silly Zhu: "Isn't this Xu Damao? Every time I go on a blind date, I always speak ill of me behind my back. If it wasn't for Xu Damao, my son would have been born."

"Okay, I'll go back if I don't listen to your rambling." After speaking, Yan Xiecheng went home directly.

Silly Zhu: "Remember to tell your dad when you go back. If you really introduce this to me, you won't lose your family if you don't talk about the food."

Ignore silly Zhu, this silly Zhu has nothing to do and is just a dream wife.

As soon as he got home, Yan Jiedi ran over happily: "Brother, take me out to play, I'm suffocated to death at home."

"What about your second brother and third brother. Why don't they take you to play?"

Yan Jieya: "They went out, I want to follow, but they drove me back."

"Hey~ These two boys are too outrageous, go back and clean them up."After speaking, he took Yan Jiedi's hand and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

There is no way that there are many children in the family now, and they are all older children with younger children.

Where do adults have time to take care of their children, cook, wash clothes, and clean up every day?If I have free time, I have to go to the street to get some job of pasting matchboxes to subsidize my family.Don't underestimate the sticky matchbox, you can earn a few dollars a month no matter what.Enough to buy rationed food for 2 people.

Take Yan Jie out of the courtyard.There was a sugar seller at the entrance of this alley who bought two sugar figures for Yan Jiedi, and he never brought up any children as an only child in later generations.A big boy took a little girl and didn't know what to do.

There is nothing to do in shopping. The main street of Nanluoguxiang is 800 meters long and 8 meters wide. Going north is Gulou East Street, and going south to Di'anmen East Street is a famous snack street in Beijing.There are various snacks on both sides of the street.

There is a tall house in the middle of the street, which is a state-owned store. There is a stall selling comic books at the entrance of the store, surrounded by many children. Where can I read comic books?

Yan Xie looked at Yan Xiecheng flatteringly: "Brother, can you buy me a comic book? We have children in our yard, but I don't."

Well, according to the stingy temperament of the third master, he definitely wouldn't buy this kind of thing for the child.

"Okay, brother, I just want to buy a book for me." Yan Xieya stopped by pitifully.

"Brother, I'll buy it for you." As he said, he walked over and began to choose, look through, hey, this is the latest biography of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty published by Shanghai Publishing House, this is good for children to read.

"Comrade, how many volumes are there in this set of biographies of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and how much is a volume?" Yan Xiecheng pointed to the comic book.

"Do you want 30 volumes of [-] cents?" the waiter said.

"Okay, you can help me wrap it up."As he spoke, he also took a Monkey King's comic book selected by Yan Jiedi.

"How much is this book in total?"

“这本是1毛1。那三十册是3块6。一共3块7毛1分钱”。

Yan Xiecheng took out the money and handed it to the salesperson, taking Yan Xiedi's hand and walking back.

This is a complete set passed down by various countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.As long as it is not broken, it can be used as a collectible in the future.

Back to the courtyard.Yan Jiedi happily read the comic book.

It's not even noon yet.The whole courtyard knew about Xu Damao's marriage.

This silly Zhu didn't even cook, so he hurried to find a matchmaker.It's about getting married.Can't be compared to Xu Damao.Although lagging behind in progress.But it must be in quality.win.Xu Damao must also be ahead of the children.

In the afternoon Xu Damao led a girl in a red skirt into the courtyard.Started sending out happy candies door-to-door.

Yan Bugui: "This Xu Damao's daughter-in-law has the aura of being from a wealthy family, with an air of nobility on her face."

Hey, this old man is really good at seeing people.Didn't they come from a big family? Not just an ordinary big family.

Soon Xu Damao brought his wife to Yan Fugui's house.

Xu Damao: "The third master is my daughter-in-law, Lou Xiaoe. Xiao'e is the third master in our yard, just call him the third master."

"Hello, third master."

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Mao, I wish you young couple a happy marriage for a hundred years and an early baby."

Xu Damao: "Thank you for your kind words, Third Master." As he spoke, he took out the prepared wedding candy and handed it to the third mother. "Come on, third mother, you and my third uncle are happy."

Yan Bugui: "Da Mao, your marriage is such a big deal, you don't have to set a table."

Xu Damao: "Third Master, wait for the evening. How about you, First Master, Second Uncle, come to my house, and my parents, let's have a meal together. You take my Third Mother and ask my Third Mother to help me with my chores."

Yan Bugui: "Okay, Damao is more particular about it."

"Okay, third master, we still have several families here, I'll go first, and we'll stay together in the evening."

Yan Fugui: "Okay, okay, let's go, your third mom and I will go directly there at night."

Close the door: "Xie Cheng, my mother and I will go to Xu Damao's house for dinner tonight. There are steamed buns and pickles in the kitchen. Let your mother cook a pot of stick porridge later, and you can eat it by yourself in the evening."

Yan Jiecheng: "Got it."
