At the end of April, the cold has almost gone, the weather has turned spring, and everyone's clothes are getting thinner.

Early that morning, a firecracker went off in Nanluo Alley, and a lively atmosphere filled the entire alley.

"Marry the bride~"

A few children who were jumping around took advantage of this wave of joy and were also shouting nearby.

Today is the day when the Jia family boy gets his wife.

In the No. 90 courtyard, a wedding tent has been set up in the middle courtyard. There are seven or eight tables on the tables, chairs and benches, filling up the little space in the middle courtyard.

And Yi Zhonghai got up early to help the Jia family arrange the marriage. For those who didn't know, they thought he was Jia Dongxu's father.

In the courtyard, the younger generation of children also gathered together at this time, and started making trouble in small groups.

This kind of big happy event is their favorite time. If nothing else, at least they can have a good meal, not to mention that sometimes the host will give out some snacks, which are all good things, right For children, this is just like Chinese New Year.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, congratulations."

"You can be considered satisfied."

"Yes, speaking of which, you are blessed with a double happiness. Dongxu has also successfully become a full-time employee in the steel factory. From now on, your family will also have a regular worker."

These neighbors came to congratulate me and also gave me some money.

Although Jia Zhang is usually quite domineering, in this regard, few people are willing to form a deadly feud.

In this era, the relationship between neighbors was very deep, which was very different from the high-rise buildings in later generations where neighbors were in contact with each other at the door.

Unless there is some deep grudge, otherwise, if someone holds a happy event like this, everyone will come over to help join in the fun and do favors. It's just a matter of how much. But if anyone is not good at this, he will definitely be discussed behind his back.

"Thank you, thank you all." Mrs. Jia Zhang received the gift money and remembered her name, the smile on her lips never closed. For this wedding, their family spent more than one million yuan to buy a sewing machine, not to mention the matchmaker's money, and the banquet, which was given to the Qin family. All these things added up, it was not a small amount, so she just waited. This time the banquet was full of blood.

After cleaning up, He Yuzhu also came out of the house and happened to bump into Xu Damao who was coming to the middle courtyard.

"Hey, Zhuzi, if you don't go to your Hongbin building to be a cook today, why are you here?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said proactively. As soon as the two people's irreconcilable compatibility met, Xu Damao couldn't help but mutter a few words.

Seeing Xu Damao's appearance, He Yuzhu glanced at him: "The boss has specially granted leave to attend the wedding. Is there any problem?"

When Xu Damao saw this, he shook his head and said, "What's the problem? You are also the cook of Hongbin House after all. What's the matter? The Jia family didn't ask you to cook for the wedding? It seems that you are not very good at it. Well, oh, by the way, there’s something I forgot to tell you, I’m now a quasi-projectionist, and when I graduate from junior high school, I’ll be assigned a job directly!”

As Xu Damao spoke, his mouth almost lifted to the sky.

At the Renmin Road Screening Factory, Xu Damao performed very well on the day of the trial screening, and was given a definite answer. After graduating from junior high school, he could be transferred to work.

Xu Wood warned Xu Damao several times not to publicize this matter everywhere, and to wait until after graduation, the matter would be settled. But in front of Silly Zhu, Xu Damao couldn't bear it. He wanted to step on Silly Zhu's face for a small achievement, let alone such a big thing.

A movie projectionist's job, in terms of remuneration, will be a good job that you can't even find with a lantern. It will be much better than that of a cook like Si Zhu, and more importantly, he is decent!

Listening to Xu Damao's words, a strange look flashed across He Yuzhu's face.

Of course he knew that Xu Damao would become a movie projectionist later, but this guy was still too young and would show off his achievements everywhere. Including later, after Xu Damao entered the steel rolling mill, his treatment became better and better. He went to the countryside to watch movies and had all kinds of food and drinks given by his fellow villagers. Their family lived a very healthy life in the entire compound, but this This high-profile approach also made Xu Damao somewhat unpopular in the yard. Everyone was miserable. How come you and Xu Damao's family are the only ones who enjoy eating and drinking all day long?

This is why Xu Damao always suffers when he and Silly Zhu confront each other. Some residents in the yard are also happy to watch Xu Damao suffer.

At this point, the old fox Yi Zhonghai has done quite well. After seeing the direction of the wind, although this guy earns the highest salary in the courtyard, when it comes to food and clothing, the family is quite low-key. This is why he That’s why it has such a good reputation in the hospital.

Thinking about it, He Yuzhu said: "That's pretty good, but I don't know how much you plan to pay for this gift?"

Hearing Zhu Zhu's words, Xu Damao was slightly startled: "Gift money? I...I'll take three thousand! What, our conditions are good now, and we will have plenty of money in the future!"

Xu Damao said a number and his expression became arrogant again.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu nodded slightly.

This amount is neither too much nor too little, but for Xu Damao, it is just right. Generally, gifts from neighbors are about a few thousand yuan. As for those with good relationships, that is naturally calculated separately.

"Zhuzi, how much do you plan to accept?"

Xu Damao asked back, with a look of laughter on his face.

"Me? A few hundred yuan, right? I still have five hundred yuan at home, so I'll give it to Brother Dongxu for his marriage."

He Yuzhu said, pretending to be embarrassed.

He has no interest in taking advantage of this kind of thing, not to mention that his relationship with the Jia family is just like that. If you give too much, people will not be grateful to you, but will scold you behind your back for taking advantage of you. This can be regarded as human nature.

Of course, this five hundred yuan is quite low even among those who follow the gift, but He Yuzhu is now the only one in the family taking care of his sister. It can be said that the family is in difficulty, and outsiders can't gossip.

"What? Five hundred dollars?"

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this.

He originally wanted to compete with Silly Zhu, but who knew that Silly Zhu didn't want to compete, so he just said five hundred yuan?

How did this guy get the words out of his mouth? Don't you think it's embarrassing?

"Well, you also know the conditions of our family. There is nothing we can do. I am carrying the rain alone, and I have to make plans for my future life. Besides, I really don't have much money."

He Yuzhu nodded, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.

Although he usually eats lavishly, it is a benefit given to the master by Hongbinlou. As a young man who takes care of his younger sister alone, his family is relatively poor. Is this reasonable?
