Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 172 Xu Huizhen enters the courtyard for the first time

The two of them arrived at the courtyard at a little after eleven o'clock.

Xu Deyong first locked the car at the door. He originally wanted to hold Xu Huizhen's hand and go in, but she got out of the way and had to walk side by side towards the courtyard with her.

Walking into the front yard, the three aunts in the yard stood up immediately when they saw the two people coming in, staring at Xu Huizhen with their eyes.

I was very surprised. This woman is so handsome, and her clothes are fashionable. She is more dignified than Qin Huairu.

Is this a widow with a child?

Completely different from what she imagined!

Which station to go to, I don’t know if she is a big girl.

No wonder Xu Deyong wanted to marry her despite the rumors in the alley and courtyard.

Ahem, let’s talk about a useless knowledge point: "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty" says, "Filial filial piety is established at the beginning, and fashion is allowed to gather." Guo Pu annotated: "The handsome among the scholars is like the fashionable among the hair."

The original meaning of "fashion" is the longest tuft of hair, which leads to the meaning of "fashion" being the most outstanding talents at that time.

It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that the word "fashion" gradually changed into the meaning we use today.

There is also "bangs", which is said to be a fairy boy in the Tang Dynasty. He always had short hair hanging on his forehead, which was very cute. Over time, people called the short hair on the forehead "bangs".

The third aunt thought with surprise in her heart and said with a smile: "Oh, Deyong has brought his partner home."

"Hey, the third aunt is busy." Xu Deyong responded.

Then he introduced Xu Huizhen: "There are three stewards in our courtyard. The third uncle is a primary school teacher, and this is the third aunt."

Xu Huizhen smiled gracefully and said: "Hello, third aunt, my name is Xu Huizhen, and I am the target of Deyong."

The third aunt was stunned for a moment and said, "Your surname is also Xu!"

Then he quickly laughed again and said: "Hey, this is a new society. You see, I have brought my old ideas here again."

"It's okay." Xu Huizhen said with a faint smile.

The third aunt took two steps forward, held Xu Huizhen's hand and said enthusiastically: "Huizhen, you are wearing the "Lenin suit". It looks really good. It is popular for female cadres to wear this now, and one is not cheap. Hey? What does Huizhen do? Yes."

Xu Huizhen chuckled and said: "My family ran a tavern, and now I run it, but now it's a public-private partnership."

The third aunt said: "Oh, it's not easy for you to open a tavern by yourself..."

But I thought to myself, no wonder, he is so handsome, has an industry, and has a rich family. There are many people who miss such a pretty widow.

Xu Deyong is considered lucky, no wonder his life is getting better and better!

Xu Deyong looked at the third aunt and was speechless. She is not your daughter-in-law.

These old ladies are too enthusiastic!

Xu Deyong interrupted her chatter and said, "Let's go back to the three aunts first."

"Oh, then come and sit at home when you have time." The third aunt smiled and looked at the thing in Xu Huizhen's hand.

Xu Deyong curled his lips and wanted to sit at your house? Empty handed? Fuck you!

Yan Jiedi was like a little transparent person, lying on the door frame without saying a word and staring with her little head exposed.

This little girl is used to being ignored at home, and she seems to have mastered the skill of "not having a sense of presence".

Xu Deyong rescued Xu Huizhen from her enthusiasm, said hello to other people who came out to watch the fun in the front yard, and then entered the middle yard.

The sunshine in spring is good, and girl Qin Huairu is shaking her braid again, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her white arms, and is washing clothes with a bang.

When he looked up, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Deyong leading a handsome, upright and fashionably dressed girl in.

"Sister-in-law Qin is washing clothes." Xu Deyong said.

"Hey!" Qin Huairu came back to her senses and responded, then asked with some uncertainty: "Who is this...?"

Xu Deyong introduced: "My partner is Xu Huizhen."

"This is Qin Huairu. She married into the Jia family in the courtyard and lives over there."

"Hello, Sister-in-law Qin." Xu Huizhen said politely, but she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

"Hey, hello, hello." Qin Huairu wiped her hands on her body and said, "I heard Yong said that he had found a partner, but I haven't seen him yet. Today I finally met him. You are so beautiful."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Qin, you are praising me, but I can't compare to you."

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Huizhen, who was fashionably dressed, and at the faded clothes on her body. She felt envious and a little inferior.

Jia Zhang sat at home and stared with her little eyes, knowing that Xu Deyong had found a widow with a child, so she wanted to find the right opportunity to go out and watch a joke.

Unexpectedly, Xu Deyong brought back a woman who was more handsome than her daughter-in-law. What a sight!

Out of sight, out of mind, stop watching!

Thinking about it, she pulled a face and looked away.

"Uncle Deyong." Xiao Banggeng came over and said, but his eyes looked at Xu Huizhen curiously.

"Yeah." Xu Deyong responded with a smile.

Qin Huairu concealed her inner thoughts and said with a smile: "This is my son, his name is Banggeng, Banggeng please call me aunt."

The little stickman blinked his eyes, looked at Xu Huizhen who was wearing nice clothes, raised his little head and said loudly: "Auntie."

"Hey, Banggeng is so good." Xu Huizhen smiled and gave him a 'touch on the head', took out a piece of snack from her pocket and gave it to him and said: "Well, this is for you to eat."

Xiaobanggan's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at Xu Deyong, and said loudly: "Thank you, Auntie."

Qin Huairu said quickly: "Huizhen, you are too polite. Why don't you keep it for him?"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "It's nothing, just a snack. You raised this child very politely!"

When Qin Huairu heard this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face. His son was polite, but he was polite.

She smiled and said: "You're welcome, Aunt Nan has come back, I won't delay you anymore, you can go into the house quickly."

Xu Deyong said: "Really? My grandma came back so early!"

At this time, the door of their house opened, and Xu Nanshi's figure appeared and said: "You are the only one who has been waiting so long to come here now."

The two of them and Qin Huairu nodded and walked home. Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Grandma, you are more proactive than me."

Xu Huizhen was still a little cautious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Following Xu Deyong, she called out with a smile: "Grandma."

"Hey." Xu Nan smiled, stretched out her hand and said, "Huizhen is here, come in quickly."

Xu Huizhen glanced at Xu Deyong vaguely, stepped forward and put her hand into the old lady's rough hand. The grandfather and grandson entered the house and left Xu Deyong outside.

Xu Deyong shrugged, yes, I got it.

This old lady has a clear mind and doesn't show off her face at all. Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, what's the use of showing off her face?

It will only make everyone uncomfortable and increase the awkwardness!

Xu Deyong gave his grandma a thumbs up in his heart.

He walked into the house casually and saw Xu Nanshi holding Xu Huizhen's hand and sitting together and said: "Huizhen, our house is a bit small, don't dislike it."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "No, you and Deyong have kept the house clean and tidy. It looks very warm."

Xu Nanshi smiled and said: "You girl can talk, why didn't you bring the child?"

Xu Huizhen said: "The child is asleep. I will definitely bring him over next time."

Xu Nanshi said: "Then definitely next time, I still want to meet my little girl."

The two of them chatted about family issues, and Xu Huizhen gradually relaxed.

Xu Deyong poured a glass of water for Xu Huizhen, saw grandma Shun's dishes, cut the meat, and bought some small river shrimps. In the eyes of future generations, it was just a simple meal, but now it was considered a rich meal.

Just listen to Xu Nanshi say: "Girl, we will be a family from now on. To be honest, I didn't agree with Deyong when he started to say it, and I was at odds with Deyong for some time." "As for me, I know. It's nothing to stop you like this, so for this reason, I went to your area to inquire about you, not to inquire about your wealth, but to inquire about you as a person."

Xu Deyong said in surprise: "Grandma, why don't I know about this?"

Xu Nanshi said angrily: "I don't have to tell you everything. Although this person may be a tiger among three people, there are always traces in his behavior. Huizhen's reputation among the neighbors is very good."

"It's not like you." Then he said to Xu Huizhen: "Deyong went there, and he was indeed a bit dishonest. After his grandfather left, I suddenly realized that if he was the same before, you would definitely look down on him."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "I didn't know him before. I only know him now. Although I don't know people and hearts, I can still tell the difference between good and bad people."

"Hey..." Xu Nanshi sighed and said, "It's because his parents didn't get it early and didn't have personal education to take care of him. I was too doting on him before."

Xu Huizhen consoled her: "Grandma, everything is fine now, and it will get better and better in the future."

……

Soon, the news that "De Yong came with a partner" spread, and people at home in the backyard also came to take a look.

Like the second aunt, even the deaf old lady came out with a cane.

When Xu Nan heard the commotion outside, she said to Xu Deyong: "Deyong, since the people in the courtyard want to see it, take Huizhen out to meet and chat with them."

Xu Deyong grinned, feeling a little helpless. This large courtyard is like this. Anyone who has trouble knows that you have to deal with it.

After chatting with Xu Nanshi for a while, Xu Huizhen was now completely relieved. She stood up and said, "Grandma, let's go out and meet. I will help you cook when we come back."

"No, you go ahead. I'm in good health, old lady. I don't need your help in making these dishes." Xu Nan said.

When Xu Deyong took Xu Huizhen out, he greeted her all the time. Naturally, the first person was the deaf old lady.

"This is the old lady, and she is also the oldest in our courtyard." Xu Deyong said.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "Hello, madam, why don't you sit in the room for a while."

The deaf old lady looked Xu Huizhen up and down, nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, no need, I'll just come and take a look. You're a good girl. Now Deyong can barely match you."

Xu Huizhen said: "You have promoted me."

The deaf old lady squinted her eyes and said: "No disrespect, madam, I have lived for more than seventy years, and I have never seen anyone like you. You are the best girl in the house. I will have to drink wedding wine with you later."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "Life is rare in seventy years. You don't have to follow the others. You can eat and drink whatever you want when the time comes."

"Haha, you girl can talk." The deaf old lady said, "Okay, you guys can talk, I'm going back."

Xu Deyong said: "Slow down, let me help you."

"No, take good care of your wife. It's really a shame to have such a wife like you, a brat like you." The deaf old lady walked away slowly with her little feet.

Xu Deyong introduced Xu Huizhen to the first aunt, second aunt and others.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, his words are all good.

However, many people were surprised and praised.

Especially knowing that Xu Huizhen's family owns a tavern and is a well-dressed little rich woman. You can tell by looking at her dress, "Lenin suit" and small leather shoes, which no woman in their courtyard wears.

The people who were talking behind her before have also changed their direction. This beautiful woman, even with children, is still pursued by many people.

Xu Deyong is really lucky.

Mrs. Jia Zhang felt so sad. She was also a widow, so why was there such a big gap?

Humph, those who do business must be a petty bourgeoisie!

……

After greeting and chatting, Xu Nanshi in the room started cooking, and everyone left talking.

Xu Huizhen took off her coat, put on a sweater and stepped forward to take over the cooking, but Xu Nanshi drove her away, so she had to help her.

The aroma of fried meat was so fragrant that Jia's family, Jia and Zhang, were the first to be affected.

Xu Deyong was not idle either. He went out to move the sacks containing lime to the door of his house, wondering what to do with it when the time came.

Grandma insisted on letting the inner room be used as their wedding room, so she could only do it temporarily and change it back later.

Before grandma agreed to live with Xu Huizhen, she could only run between places for the time being. She didn't have to run every day, just the next day. After all, Xu Huizhen had to be on duty at the tavern at night.

Fortunately he had a trolley, so it only took twenty minutes.

As for painting the walls, I will paint the outer room first, and after two days of drying, I will move the things in the inner room directly to the outer room. After the inner room is painted and dry, I will assemble the bed he made inside.

As for where he lived when he was cleaning the outer room...hehe!

He was thinking about good things, and the two people over there had already prepared the dishes.

Xu Huizhen gave him a strange look and shouted, "Stop giggling there, come over and eat."

"Oh, eat, eat." Xu Deyong said quickly.

It's different when there is an extra girl in the house, and there are more topics to talk about during meals.

After finishing a harmonious home-cooked meal, Xu Nanshi rummaged around in the bedside table and found a cloth bag. After opening it layer by layer, there was a jade bracelet inside.

He said to Xu Huizhen: "Huizhen, this bracelet was given to me by my mother-in-law at that time. I had already handed it over once... but now I will give it to you. I hope you will be well and safe in the future."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sad, Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Grandma, we still have antiques at home, why didn't I know? If you still have some, give me a copy."

When Xu Nanshi heard this, she said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that you secretly sold your grandfather's tobacco bottle two years ago and you forgot about it."

Xu Deyong: "..."

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, right? He really didn’t remember it!

After Xu Nanshi finished speaking, she ignored Xu Deyong, put it on Xu Huizhen with her own hands and said, "Well, it looks better when young people wear it for nothing on their wrists."

Xu Huizhen glanced at Xu Deyong, bit her lip and said, "Thank you, grandma, I'll keep it for now."

"Yeah." Xu Nanshi nodded.

Xu Deyong said: "Wearing jewelry is not advocated now, but hard work is advocated, so I just wear it at home."

Xu Nanshi said: "This is an inheritance, and Huizhen is not allowed to wear it all the time."

After chatting for a while, Xu Nan went to the neighborhood committee with her bag.

Xu Deyong naturally said that he would come together, took the two of them out, and sent his grandma to the neighborhood committee, while he and Xu Huizhen went to the police station.

Go to the marriage registration office and submit your identity certificate and street approval. After checking and questioning, the staff asked the two to sign and fingerprint the marriage certificate without even taking a photo.

"Snapped!"

Then a red stamp was stamped on their marriage certificates.

Xu Deyong and Xu Huizhen officially became a legal couple.
