Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

The west courtyard was bustling, and the courtyard was also bustling.

A group of young people kept carrying things in from outside the courtyard, and Jia Zhang's eyes were as wide as rabbits.

"Is that a sewing machine and a radio?"

"Oh my, a bicycle."

"Watches, two watches."

...

Xu Damao felt very uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than when he was eating shit.

These things should have belonged to him. If it weren't for that beast Sha Zhu who came to mess with him, he would have married Lou Xiao'e now.

Although he was generous and said that he didn't hate Lin Shaowen.

But in fact, he couldn't get over this matter, and he would never get over it in his life.

More than a dozen young men took a full half an hour just to carry the dowry, from big things like three turns and one ring to small things like tables, chairs, benches and bedding, which filled half of the courtyard.

Many people even lost their minds to have a feast in the afternoon, and just kept thinking about how to get something out of Lin Shaowen.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The feast officially began.

Lin Shaowen asked Zhang Guoping to purchase the ingredients, and of course he paid for them. Lin Shaowen had no shortage of bills, and Lou Bancheng had no shortage of them either.

There was one good thing about Sha Zhu. No matter what his temper was, he was very clear about what he would do once he was paid.

There were a total of 25 tables, and he had been busy since 3 a.m.

There were four kitchen helpers, the second and third aunts, and his two apprentices, Ma Hua and Fatty. But Sha Zhu was so cunning. Lin Shaowen paid the kitchen helpers 10 yuan each, and Sha Zhu paid the four people 5 yuan each, whether they wanted to work or not.

There were 20 tables in the yard, and five tables in Lin Shaowen's west wing yard.

"Come on, let's toast to the groom." Zhao Qingming raised his glass first.

"Thank you all the elders and leaders for coming to help today. I, Lin Shaowen, don't have much ability, but if you need my help in the future, I will do it without hesitation."

Lin Shaowen was not afraid and drank it all without saying a word.

"Good!"

Everyone applauded.

Lin Shaowen raised his glass again, thanked Qin Zhong and his wife first, and then thanked the three matchmakers.

Then he took Lou Xiao'e to walk around the yard, and Zhao Qingshan and the bridesmaids accompanied them on the left and right, pouring wine for them.

Zhao Qingshan watched Lin Shaowen drink two taels of wine without changing his expression, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He took the glass and smelled it when no one was paying attention. It was indeed very strong.

"It's water." Lin Shaowen whispered.

"Are you cheating?" Zhao Qingshan exclaimed.

"Go away, what scholars do, how can it be considered cheating." Lin Shaowen said unhappily, "I have taught you my unique skills, when you get married in the future..."

"Go to hell, my children can already help with soy sauce." Zhao Qingshan scolded with a smile.

"Next time we get married, next time..."

"Lin Shaowen, you want to be beaten, right?"

"No, no, no."

Lin Shaowen and Zhao Qingshan came to the yard with laughter, and Yi Zhonghai and other three uncles were pouring wine for themselves with a reserved look, waiting for Lin Shaowen to come.

"Everyone, eat and drink well."

Lin Shaowen greeted with a smile.

"Lin Shaowen, you are married now, and you should be sensible." Yi Zhonghai said arrogantly, "You were young before, and you didn't know how to respect the elderly. You can't do this in the future."

"Yes, Lin Shaowen, you should be quiet in the yard in the future." Liu Haizhong also said.

Yan Bugui adhered to his style and didn't offend anyone with his words.

"Yes, yes, what the two uncles said is right." Lin Shaowen pulled Lou Xiao'e, who was about to get angry, and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Who are these two old men?" Zhao Qingshan frowned.

Lin Shaowen's elders are not as arrogant as them.

"The manager in the yard has a problem with his brain. Don't pay attention to them."

Lin Shaowen smiled and patted Zhao Qingshan on the shoulder, turned around and changed a table, "Chef He, you have worked hard today, this glass is for you."

"Lin Shaowen, just tell me if this money is worth spending." Sha Zhu said happily.

"It's worth it, it's worth it." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "After all, he is the authentic successor of Tanjia Village, and his reputation is well-deserved."

"That's not right."

Sha Zhu was very proud.

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e, who was smiling like a flower, and his heart was even more miserable.

Jia Zhang had no time to deal with Lin Shaowen at this moment. She was shoveling food into her bowl with her mouth wide open. Jia Dongxu and Banggeng were eating with their mouths full of oil, retching from time to time, but still refused to give up.

The most surprising thing was Qin Peiru, who ate and drank without caring about her image at this time.

But it was not her fault. You know, she was almost three months pregnant, but she had never killed a chicken at home. The last time she ate chicken was when she went back to her parents' home. Seeing how thin she was, her parents killed the old hen that laid eggs at home.

YesNight.

After Lin Shaowen sent the guests away, he was about to go back to the yard to rest.

But when he just passed the ear room, he was pulled in by someone.

"Huairu, are you crazy?"

"Shaowen..."

Qin Huairu came over directly, hugged him and dragged him to the basement.

Half an hour later.

Lin Shaowen returned to his yard and sighed in his heart.

"Back?"

Lou Xiaoe was sitting on the table packing things. When she saw him coming, she immediately went forward to change his clothes.

It was so uncomfortable to wear a suit in such a hot day.

"Wow, you moved all the dressing tables at home?" Lin Shaowen looked at the bedroom that had changed a lot, and couldn't help sighing, "You don't look like you're getting married, but like you're moving."

There was another large cabinet of the same size in the bedroom, full of Lou Xiaoe's clothes. There was a layer of white carpet on the floor, which looked very expensive. There was a small and exquisite table lamp on the bedside table, and a curtain on the big bed.

It looked very luxurious.

"Of course not." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "This will be my home from now on, and that place is just my mother's home."

"My wife, it's late at night..."

"Lin Shaowen, what do you want to do? We haven't drunk the wedding wine yet... um um um."

"..."

The next morning.

Lou Xiao'e got up very early, as Lin Shaowen had tossed her all night last night.

But she was still in high spirits today. She sorted everything out first, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She actually didn't know how to cook, but since Lin Shaowen sent a matchmaker to her house, she started to learn.

"Can you do it?"

A lazy voice came, making Lou Xiao'e laugh.

"I don't know, but I can learn."

"That's right."

Lin Shaowen nodded, then pulled her to a cabinet and said with a smile, "Learn slowly in the future. Let's have breakfast first."

Then he opened the cabinet door.

"Ah, the refrigerator."

Lou Xiao'e immediately covered her mouth.

"As expected of Miss Lou, you have knowledge."

Lin Shaowen gave a thumbs up.

"Go."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and patted Lin Shaowen, then said embarrassedly, "I've only heard of it, this is the first time I've seen it."

"Yeah."

Lin Shaowen took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and put down two bowls of noodles.

Then, like a magic trick, he made two glasses of iced coconut milk.

Under the awning.

"Shaowen, why do we have so many things at home?" Lou Xiao'e said excitedly.

"Have you forgotten what I do?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "I am a doctor. I can work in the steel mill, but I have to charge some fees when I go out to see patients."

"But you are too good." Lou Xiao'e sighed.

"Xiao'e, what are your plans?" Lin Shaowen lit a cigarette and asked.
