Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 374: Enjoyment (Life Chapter)
"The flying dragon is a gift from a friend in the Northeast!"

"Hey, this venison looks so fresh, like it was just killed?"

"Venison comes from this side of the West Mountain."

"Oh~~~"

"You always keep your heart in mind. I have such a bright future, how can I do something illegal? I don't lack those two money." Gu Weijun pushed Master Mou onto the co-pilot and motioned to his two apprentices Squeeze in the back seat and start the Jeep.

At the Shichahai Siheyuan, Gu’s father and mother had already arrived. He visited the four-indoor courtyard with his hands behind his back and chatted with the carpenter about the style of the furniture. Gu’s mother was walking in and out of the kitchen in the first-indoor courtyard. Rice, soaked beans, and picked vegetables. When they saw Gu Weijun coming in carrying meat and people, he immediately wiped his hands with his apron and came over.

"Hey, are you Master Mou?"

"You're tired of having a hard time today!"

Master Mou cupped his hands and said, "You're welcome, we just eat Qinxing's rice. If someone asks you to cook, it's to make a living for us."

"Xiao Du, go check out the kitchen stove. Do you want to build a new one?"

"Mom, if Master Mou hadn't had a good relationship with me, there would be no way that the national second-level chef would come out to take this job."

"I will give you a key later. If you want to have a dinner party with your friends, just come here and give me a message in advance, and I will prepare the meat for you."

"If you are not afraid that I will steal my lesson, I will give you a few beatings as I am a rough-and-tumble man."

"Save me another sip of tea foam."

"Yes, master!"

Gu Ma smiled broadly and waved her hands repeatedly, "How can I do all the kitchen work for you, my dear disciple?"

"Then let's get ready first. When the military target and his family arrive, I will seize the time to open fire."

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago. Remember to take this bag of black tea with you when you leave. It's from Wuyi Mountain."

"Master Mou, don't you call me boss or west? Don't call me comrade. You are too heretic. You are older than my parents. Feel free to call me brother and sister."

Rarely, Master Mou watched Ma Gu working together, and also helped to prepare the dishes, and even gave some advice from time to time.

Master Mou smiled happily when he heard this, and his chubby face seemed to have a few extra folds on his buns. "Okay, man, open up!"

"Xiao Sun, go and take over the work from your employer, and if there is still this meat, you can also change the knife."

Gu Weijun smiled, this is a win-win situation. Will there be a candidate for the chef of the private club in the future?
Dad Gu also came back from a stroll. As a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, how could he not know some prescriptions for food supplements? Now, the conversation with Master Mou became more speculative.

"light and spacious!"

"Hey, you're so polite. Why can't you steal something? If you're interested, let's talk about it together."

"This courtyard," Gu Weijun pointed to the fourth courtyard, "The house is large and has many rooms. It is especially suitable for friends to gather in private, drink tea, and eat."

"Junzi, I won't be polite to you anymore. Do you have some good tea for me to make?"

"Let's get together more often."

"Master, please have a rest. It's noon today, so please come."

At this time, Gu Weijun put the meat in the kitchen and came out. Seeing these two people being so polite, his tooth ached. "I said, Mom, Master Mou, let's not come here and be polite. Those who go out politely are not outsiders."

The chatting time passed very quickly. It seemed that within a short while, Zhu Lin's family arrived at the door. Gu's parents and Gu Weijun rushed to greet them. The fathers shook hands enthusiastically, and the mothers held hands excitedly, telling each other how they felt about the meeting. expectations.

Under the introduction of Gu Weijun, the two families took a good tour of the fourth courtyard. Zhu Lin's parents saw the carpenters making furniture, with smiles of satisfaction on their lips.

Entering the main hall of the second hospital, the two families sat together, praising each other's son (daughter), "Xiaolin, I fell in love with this kid the first time I saw her." Gu's mother started the conversation first, "Long-term." Not only is she beautiful and dignified, but she is also very sensible!”

"How can this be done? I can't bear to let such a good girl rough up her fine-haired little hands while working."

Zhu's mother immediately took it over, "My mother-in-law, you can't spoil Xiaolin too much. Xiaolin does all the work at home."

"I've been teaching you how to make shabu-shabu, steamed buns and pancakes, dumplings and wontons, and window stickers since I was a child."

"If you want to talk about your future, you have to look at the Wei army. Not only is he working in a national ministry at such a young age, but he is still a division-level cadre. His future is limitless."

"Hey, Xiaolin is the outstanding one. How many people go to the countryside and return to the capital now? It's not easy for Xiaolin to be admitted to the Beijing Communications Corps. It's even harder than getting into college."

"Xiao Lin was also influenced by us. She has loved art and studied dance since she was a child. She is lucky to be able to return to the capital - unlike the Wei army, she actually went from being a worker to Tsinghua University, which is the top university in our country. "

The two old fathers listened to their lovers' compliments to each other, smiled knowingly and raised their teacups, "My father-in-law, the two children are in love with each other, and we are very satisfied with Xiaolin. Do you think you and your mother-in-law have any other requests?" "

"The furniture is good. You two saw it just now. The carpenter was working on it."

"For other things like watches, bicycles, sewing machines, etc., let Dajun take Xiaolin to buy them directly one day."

"Look, you two, is there anything else we haven't thought of? Also help us check for any gaps."

"One more thing, do you have any other etiquette here? We haven't considered it, so please remind me."

After Gu's father finished speaking, he gave Gu's mother a look. After receiving it, Gu's mother carefully took out something slightly larger than a palm from her arms, wrapped in red cloth, and gently placed it on the table and slowly opened it. , "These are a few little things that we passed down. I just happened to give them to Xiaolin in front of both of my parents-in-law today."

"Ah~" Zhu Mu, who is knowledgeable, sighed in surprise with her eyes fixed, and then quickly declined, "My mother-in-law, this is too expensive and inappropriate." I saw only a piece of egg-sized mutton-fat white jade Maitreya Buddha with no variegated color. A green jadeite bracelet, and a gold bracelet with dragon and phoenix patterns.
Mother Zhu couldn't help but look at the two in-laws opposite in surprise, and thought to herself: Isn't this an ordinary family? Could this be provided by an ordinary family? It couldn't have been so chaotic in the past few years.
Keenly aware of the in-laws' doubts, Gu's mother explained with a chuckle: "My husband's father-in-law's ancestors used to do business outside the customs and had some wealth. Later, a heavy smoker appeared in the family, and the family fell into ruin."

"These are all secretly kept by our room. Because Dajun was admitted to Tsinghua University and sent money back every year to support his uncle's brothers and sisters in their studies, my husband secretly gave these things to us."

"He is also afraid that rural people are short-sighted and don't do anything to cause trouble."

"I believe you also know what happened in the past few years. You don't dare let others know about these things."

After saying this, Mother Gu directly took Zhu Lin's hand and placed these things solemnly on her palm, "Besides, mother-in-law, what is expensive? No matter how precious it is, it can't be as valuable as Xiaolin, right?"

Zhu Lin was a little at a loss holding these things in her hands. She looked at Gu Weijun for help, and after receiving his encouraging eyes, she looked at her parents again.

Zhu's father and Zhu's mother looked at each other with some doubts. These must be good things and old items, but they are a bit out of date at this time. What if someone discovers them wearing them? This is where mistakes are made!
"Just wear it at home and play with it, and take it off when you go out." Gu Ma directly took Zhu Lin's hand and put two bracelets on her, and then gently held her fingertips to reveal that her bright wrist and the bracelets complemented each other, "Look, How pretty?"

He turned to Zhu's mother and smiled with satisfaction, "Xiaolin is a good-looking child. She looks good in anything she wears. I think she will look beautiful even if she wears silver."

Then she turned around and patted Zhu Lin's hand, "These things are reserved for the eldest daughter-in-law. When you and Dajun's child get married in the future, you can make the decision to pass them on."

After the words were handed over to this one, Zhu Lin's parents would be rude if they refused. They thanked her parents and mother Gu repeatedly and motioned to Zhu Lin to quickly take it and put it away.

"The in-laws are so kind and have prepared such a good gift for Xiaolin." Zhu's father took out a pen from his chest. "We and I were not prepared at all. This pen was given to me by my teacher to celebrate my Ph.D. graduation." Mine, I will give it to Wei Jun today, hoping that his work will get better and better in the future."

After Gu Weijun took it with both hands, Zhu's father continued to express his position: "You two in-laws, as long as the two children are well, there is no need to bother preparing watches, bicycles, etc."

"Both children have jobs and wages. If they need anything, let them save money and buy it later."

"We can't weaken their fighting spirit, can we?"

"My father-in-law is right!" Mother Gu clapped her hands, took out a bankbook from her inner pocket, and slapped it on Zhu Lin's hand. "This is Dajun's salary from working for so many years. I have saved it all." Still waiting."

"Xiao Lin, from now on the family will be in charge of money."

"Our family's tradition is to hand over the salary and then worry about the pocket money."
