Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 206: Decorating the New House, Qin Huairu is Heartbroken
Yan Buguijilihe purchasing is a good match. Even the aunties from the vegetable market in the previous life would be defeated by this guy's bargaining skills!

If he had not already ordered the vegetables and meat, Yan Bugui would have definitely gone there. In two words, saving money!
"Well, let Old Yan take care of the etiquette and purchasing, he will definitely make everything clear!

Old Yan would never underestimate a penny, and there has never been any mistake over the years!
We will both take a day off tomorrow to prepare for the work!

The men all go to work, leaving only some women comrades. We can’t do without organization, otherwise it’s easy to cause trouble! ”

Xu Fugui nodded in agreement. Yan Bugui is definitely good at recording gift money and buying things!
Zhuzi has a good vision. No wonder he can become the deputy director of the canteen at such a young age!
The seating arrangement for Yan Bugui is the most difficult. After all, he is the third uncle of the compound. If he is not allowed to sit at the main table, there must be a reasonable reason!
The reasons He Yuzhu gave now were strong enough, and the most difficult problem no longer existed!

Yan Bugui presided over the banquet other than the main table to maintain the honor of the compound and not let the nobles look down on him. He is very good and powerful!

He Yuzhu's consideration is not unreasonable. There are too many important people around, and if something goes wrong, everyone will lose face!

“Don’t worry about purchasing, I’ve already arranged it!
Apart from some miscellaneous items, someone will deliver the materials needed for the wedding banquet!
After the wedding banquet, I'll go and pay the bill, no problem!

Leave the small purchases to Uncle Three, he will take care of it!
I will give the third uncle 200,000 yuan tomorrow, plus the gift money, it should be enough!
Let him make up for the shortfall first, and we'll settle the bill when it's over, is that ok?"

He Yuzhu looked at the two of them uncertainly, he didn't know how they usually operated!
"Okay, the master should have made up for it, but you definitely won't have the time tomorrow. I'll ask Old Yan to help!"

Liu Haizhong nodded. If Old Yan didn’t want to, he would just pay for it and they would settle the bill in the end, so it wouldn’t be a big problem!
"That's good. Actually, I don't have any money left. I only have these two hundred thousand!"

He Yuzhu smiled embarrassedly. It was indeed embarrassing to have no money in pocket!
"It's not a big problem. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it first. Don't worry about the money!"

Although He Yuzhu still owed him one million, there was also the foreign debt of Wang Dana's sewing machine!
But after getting married, the couple’s salary is not low, so they can pay off the debt in a few months!

He is not afraid that He Yuzhu will not be able to pay it back. He is not a good person and he naturally has his calculations!
Lending money is also a favor. The more favors you have, the easier it will be to ask for it when you need it in the future, right?
"Are the dishes and meats for the banquet all right? Should I go check them out tomorrow morning?
In case of any accidents, we can also purchase them tomorrow morning!"

Xu Fugui looked at He Yuzhu worriedly. Is the person he entrusted worthy of trust?

If you are stood up, there is still time to make amends, otherwise it will be too late. There can be no problems with the wedding banquet!

"No problem, don't worry, it's fine!"

He Yuzhu is the canteen director. Having been a cook for so many years, he must have the resources!

And there is no doubt that you can get cheap and high-quality vegetables and meat!
The meat has been handed over to Brother Feng to prepare, and it was reserved last week!
Pork, chicken, fish and other meats are all prepared by Brother Feng and have been confirmed when I got off work today!

As for the dishes, they are of course prepared by the factory’s suppliers!

The steel rolling mill has a special vegetable supplier, and you can get a cheap price by buying vegetables from these vegetable vendors!

People directly supply him vegetables at the supply price of the steel mill, but it is a lot cheaper!
He still has this little bit of face!

He can get it without any convenience at work, after all, he is the canteen director.
Shouldn't the supplier lick him as much as he wants? Just to change the supplier, don't let others skip it!
The supplier offered the supply without asking for money, but He Yuzhu refused. He felt that he should be grateful to the person who had helped him.

As long as he dares to "reach out", people will naturally take away the vegetables supplied by the factory and pass them off as good ones. How can he inspect and accept them?

There is also the possibility that he will be stuck and unable to get away, but he will not do such a stupid thing, the money must be given!
"Okay, it's settled!

Let’s arrange the details tomorrow morning!
There hasn't been any happy events in the compound for a year, so we need to have some fun!
There have been many big and small things happening this year. I hope that things will be more stable in the future and no more unexpected things will happen!

I won’t talk about it today. It’s getting late and the men all have to go to work. Don’t disturb them from their work and rest!
Just decide what they need to do the day after tomorrow and let their families know!"

Xu Fugui wanted to leave when he saw that he had almost finished drinking. The three of them tacitly did not mention the deaf old lady sitting at the main table!
At this time, the deaf old lady was no longer qualified to sit at the main table!

Even being arranged at the head table at the banquet is not allowed, otherwise it may cause dissatisfaction among everyone!
After finally turning the tables and becoming the master, how come you let the "capitalist" old lady sit at the main table?
Lou Zhenhua doesn't count. He is the factory director. So many people's jobs in the compound are in his hands. You can't compare him!

"Brother, am I still your cutest sister?"

After Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong left, Yu Shui walked up to He Yuzhu, pouting in dissatisfaction, feeling a little aggrieved!

She has been working hard to make sister Qiuyue her sister-in-law during this period. Seeing her brother's "disappointment", she is really anxious!
Sister Qiuyue is so nice, I save all the delicious food for her!

But the relationship between my brother and his sister Qiuyue has not made much progress, and I am very anxious, but there is nothing I can do!

She has always had a sense of crisis in her heart, and her brother is treating her very well now!

Now that I have a sister-in-law in the future, will I still be able to maintain the favor I have now?
What if her future sister-in-law doesn't like her and abandons her?
If this future sister-in-law is Sister Qiuyue, then this problem will not exist!
She didn't expect that the two had been planning to get married for a long time, and what was even more abominable was that they kept it a secret from their only sister!

Looking at the pouting Xiao Yushui, He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing and felt aggrieved!

"My cutest sister, why do you say that?"

"You and Sister Qiuyue are getting married tomorrow, and I just found out about this now!

You are deliberately hiding it from me, huh! "

"Haha, that's because you didn't notice it. We didn't hide it from you on purpose!"

He Yuzhu looked at his sister stubbornly and laughed secretly in his heart!
It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that I’m afraid you’ll let it slip and something unexpected will happen!

After comprehensive consideration, I decided to let you down!

"Okay, for Sister Qiuyue's sake, I won't tell Master's wife!
Humph, I have someone backing me up, you better be careful!"

Xiao Yushui glanced at him arrogantly, then turned and walked out the door!
Looking at the little figure with his hands behind his back and his head tilted up, He Yuzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
"Rainwater, you haven't washed your feet yet!"

"Leave it for Sister Qiuyue to wash, I won't wash it anymore!"

The next day

He Yuzhu got up early, had his meal, and started getting ready!
First, put all the things you bought on the kang and start fiddling with them!
He planned to set up the new house in the main room, and in order to separate it from the main room, he specially made curtains!
We need to entertain guests in the house, and the rooms are limited. We can't set up the new house as an ear room, right?
I originally wanted to make a screen to separate it, but I had to give up because the cost was too high!

Finally, an idea suddenly occurred to me: wouldn’t it be beautiful to separate them with a curtain?
When you have time, go to the scrap collection station to see if there are any interesting things. Screens made of huanghuali or golden nanmu would be even better!

After the reform and opening up, you will definitely achieve financial freedom!

Of course, this is just YY. Even if we can get it, we have to wait more than ten years!

In special times, this is really possible, but don’t even think about it now!
At this time, all the old items were hidden by collectors!

As the saying goes, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. Now that peace has come, many people are waiting for their old stuff to become valuable before selling it! !

The trend of collecting is popular in the capital, and the reason is that the Eight Banners nobles love it the most!

Because of this, the collecting trend in the capital also entered its heyday, and plundering and robbery were inevitable!

When they occupied the capital, they plundered the city in order to enhance their pitiful and humble cultural heritage!

In order to protect old stuff, many people dig cellars, build partitions, and try every possible way to hide them!
How could such a good thing appear in a scrap collection station?

It's not that He Yuzhu hasn't looked at it in his spare time, but there's nothing good there, just junk!
He could only smile bitterly, thinking that he was still fooled by some period novels in his previous life!

Many people think that in this era, they can start collecting and wait for the reform to start counting money until their hands cramp! !

Don’t be funny, if it weren’t for a series of operations during special periods, it would be hard to see the real good things!
Back to the point, how to arrange the objects depends on the master's wife's opinion. Anyway, he doesn't understand it!
"Zhu Zi, have you bought everything?" After a while, the master's wife came to the door!
He Yuzhu suspected that his master went to work on an empty stomach in the morning. He felt sympathy for three seconds!

The master’s wife doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle. In her own words, she just doesn’t like riding, so she must have walked here!
"Master's Wife, you are here so early? Master, did you miss breakfast?"

"Can't eat at breakfast shops?"

The master's wife glanced at him as if to say, how can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?
"That's right, Master's wife really loves her apprentice. I'm just worried about how to set up so many things in accordance with the rules!"

He Yuzhu, the look on your face that cares about me successfully made Master's wife laugh!
She did come here early in the morning. Poor child!

There are no parents around when I get married, and there is not even anyone to clean the wedding room!

If this child wasn't so outstanding, let alone getting married, I'd be thankful I didn't starve to death!

"Zhu Zi, where are you going to put the wedding room?"

"Ahem, Master's Wife, I think the principal wife is suitable!
If there are no elders at home, it’s no problem to use the main house as the wedding house!
Of course, your opinion is still the final word!"

He Yuzhu didn't know whether it was appropriate to use the main house as a wedding house!
There are two side rooms in the house now, and all the houses on this side of the main courtyard belong to the He family!
He always felt that it was inappropriate to put it in the ear room, as it did not show his importance to Qiuyue!

“It is appropriate to place the wedding room in the main room. The space is large enough to place furniture and decorations, which is quite good;

Your master is very satisfied with Qiuyue. If that's the case, we can't let her down!
Director Wang and his wife may not be satisfied with the fact that the main room is not used and the wedding room is placed in the wing room.
There are side rooms on both sides of the wedding room, and the main room is in the middle, so the young couple can have more privacy when doing things! "

The master's wife's explanation made perfect sense, but He Yuzhu still felt uncomfortable!

The master's wife is really tough. She even said this so directly!

Maybe his thoughts have been integrated into this era? It's hard to say!

"Haha, a couple can only have children if they have sex, it's so simple, why are you blushing?
Normally I have a thick skin, but now...
Enough talking, let’s get to work!
The wedding room must be cleaned up, otherwise others will laugh at us!"

The master's wife looked at He Yuzhu speechlessly and asked, "Why do you want to get married if you don't do anything?"
After hearing He Yuzhu's idea, the master's wife asked him to hang up the curtain first to facilitate further arrangement!
"Zhu Zi, spread the dark red bed sheet on the kang first!

It should have been a bed, and the same goes for the kang. . . "

Afterwards, under the instruction of the master's wife, they first placed the quilt with the auspicious pattern of dragon and phoenix on the window side of the kang, put an embroidered pillow on it, and then covered it with a coverlet with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water!
Put the Eight Immortals Table in the middle of the kang. It is for the bride to eat!
From the time the bride is escorted into the bridal chamber to the time the newlyweds toast, the bride will not show up during this period. She has to eat, right?

In another corner of the kang, there is an altar table that is about 40 wide and 80 long!
The red candles and grain buckets are on top, symbolizing a good harvest and happiness.
The wardrobe is one of the important pieces of furniture in a wedding room. The double-opening wardrobe doors are made by Master Kuai, and they look very elegant!

There are carvings and paintings on it, which is very beautiful. You can no longer see such objects after decades!

The most important piece of furniture, of course, is the dressing table, and there is also a square stool!

Sitting on the stool, there is a wooden carved border in front of you, and a mirror in the middle!
There are several drawers under the countertop, where Qiuyue can store small items like jewelry!

You can also put some toiletries and photos on the countertop so it doesn’t look crowded!

Of course, some small decorations are essential!
He ordered thirty-six legs: the eight-immortal table on the kang, the square table for eating, the dressing table, five armchairs, and the large wardrobe, exactly thirty-six legs;

This is still a limited condition, otherwise it could have a total of seventy-two legs!
That’s a lot of furniture, and ordinary people don’t have the money to afford it!

Finally, we come to the most important decoration part. If you are getting married, the main color must be red, which represents joy and auspiciousness.

First of all, the curtains had to be red. When the house was renovated, the windows were replaced with glass windows with the word "囍" pasted on them. Looking at the beautiful handwriting, you could tell it was a woman's work!
In the entire courtyard, the only one who could achieve this is Comrade Qiuyue, who wrote it himself!

The paper cutting hasn’t been done yet, this has to be done by the master’s wife herself, neither of them knows how to do it!
Even though it only takes a few tries in the master's wife's hands, it is still quite difficult, but it requires a skill!

"Zhu Zi, where is this photo hung?"

The master's wife was worried as she held a pile of framed photos of the newlyweds in her hands. The wedding photos were in black and white, and there were no color ones!
Entering the main room, there is a portrait of an old man in the middle, which is specially framed and hung up. He does have some awareness!
How to fix the wedding photo of the two? The master's wife suddenly returned the money. It is suitable to hang it anywhere, even from the side. Those who understand will understand! !
"Master's Wife, you don't need to hang this photo up, just put it on the dressing table!

There is a special support frame at the back, which is my original creation and took a lot of effort to make! "

He Yuzhu thought about the problem of wedding photos, and finally remembered the method used in later generations to place them with a support rod, so he put it to use!
Qiuyue meant to move the desk from the ear room over and put it on the desk!

In the end, He Yuzhu felt that it was okay to do that after the wedding, but it was not appropriate now!
No matter how big the main room is, it can’t hold all the space. It will seem crowded if we move in!
"Okay, you are the one with the most clever ideas!"

The master's wife looked at the propped-up wedding photos and was full of praise!

With this change, you can put it anywhere, which is great!
"Pillar, pillar!"

It was almost noon when a voice came from outside!
He Yuzhu went out and took a look. Oh my god, it turned out that the sewing machine was back!
"Uncle, isn't this a newly opened package?"

He Yuzhu looked at the assembled sewing machine in front of him and looked at Liu Haizhong in confusion!
“Haha, I assembled this. It wasn’t that hard!”

"Okay, please carry it in!"

He Yuzhu's expression of "I see", made Liu Haizhong happy!
He is a blacksmith and a senior worker at that, so assembling a sewing machine is not a problem for him!

Compound
"Grandma Liu, do you know who Zhuzi's wife is?
We still don’t know whether Zhuzi’s wife is from the city or the village!”

An old lady was picking vegetables while asking Grandma Liu who was also happily picking vegetables next to her!
"I don't know either, no matter where she is from, it's a good thing for Zhuzi to get married!

Everyone, please be careful when washing vegetables and make sure they are clean!"

"Okay, don't worry, in the past few years, whenever there are weddings or funerals, we are the ones doing the dishwashing!
Never went wrong, did you, sisters! "

"You're right. We are the ones who specialize in washing vegetables in the compound!"

Qin Huairu remained silent, she felt that the bride should be Qiuyue!

She still remembers the wary look in Cai Qiuyue's eyes when they talked about work that night!
What could she do? Even though she gave birth to He Yuzhu's child, she didn't know it!

Besides, she is the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, and this identity cannot be changed!

She had no reason to stop He Yuzhu from getting married, and she couldn't stop him either. She could only feel sad!
"Huai Ru, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you're a little dazed?"

Yang Ruihua looked at the absent-minded Qin Huairu and felt that this person was a bit self-pitying!
"Third Auntie, I'm fine, maybe I didn't sleep well last night?
The child cried for half the night and fell asleep in the second half of the night!"

Qin Huairu came back to his senses, forced a smile, and made excuses to hide his emotions!
"Alas, having a mother-in-law is a good thing. She can always help you out, but she ended up killing herself. It's really hard for you!"

Yang Ruihua seemed to think of the difficulties he had faced in raising children back then, and looked at Qin Huairu with sympathy!
"The child is pretty well behaved. He was a little noisy last night and is now asleep and hasn't woken up yet!"

Speaking of her daughter, Qin Huairu smiled. This was her and his child, her only child!
in the afternoon
The eldest brother Sun Hao also arrived and started frying meatballs and braising pork. Many children gathered around him!
He didn't care. Everyone stuffed a little bit of meat into their mouths, and the children smiled with satisfaction!

Qin Huairu and Yang Ruihua were helping in the kitchen. When they were busy, they heard a baby crying!

She was startled and realized that the child had woken up. Before she could run back, she saw He Yuzhu holding Qin Liling and wandering around in the middle courtyard!
