Siheyuan: From a technical secondary school student to an academician of a major country

Chapter 108 Engagement
Yu Wenzhen never expected this.

The deaf old lady who seldom goes out, and when she goes out, she privately exchanges tickets for money, and she actually has a connection with the Shen family.

Mr. Shen called Shen Zhongguo over and introduced him to the deaf old lady: "Old sister, this is Zhongguo, do you remember him?"

Shen Zhongguo naturally knew the deaf old lady, and he also knew the deaf old lady's son, Yan Changyu.

They joined the army only one year apart, Shen Zhongguo was one year younger than Yan Changyu.

"I recognize it, of course I do."

The deaf old lady smiled and nodded, then said to Shen Zhongguo: "Last time I saw you, you were still a young man. Now you have some of your father's demeanor."

"Aunt, you flatter me. I am still far from being good enough."

Shen Zhongguo respected the deaf old lady from the bottom of his heart and his attitude was very humble.

After some greetings, everyone finally sat down.

As the conversation continued, the topic soon turned to the marriage of the two young people.

"Old sister, to be honest, our whole family is very satisfied with Wen Zheng. This child is capable and down-to-earth. We are relieved to have Yu Wei promised to him."

Mr. Shen looked sincere when he spoke, and there was not a trace of affection between him and the deaf old lady in his words.

Old Master Shen still knows the difference between the affections of the older generation and the marriages of the young. After all, they are one and the same and cannot be confused.

"Wumi Masahiro is indeed a good kid."

The deaf old lady nodded in agreement, praising him generously. She said, "From the day Wen Zheng entered the hospital, I could tell that this child was very filial."

"Old lady, I am embarrassed by your praise."

Yu Wenzhen touched his nose with a smile, and a blush appeared on his face.

Although he is a time traveler, there is no rule that time travelers must be thick-skinned. Shyness is human nature and it cannot be avoided by traveling through time.

But he didn't say anything either.

He knew that the deaf old lady was speaking for him.

Ever since she met Shen Yuwei, the deaf old lady has particularly liked this girl and thinks she is a good match for Yu Wenzhen. She is very willing to bring this couple together.

Mr. Shen looked at Yu Wen Zheng happily, and felt even more satisfied with Yu Wen Zheng.

Shen Zhongguo stepped forward at the right time and said to Lu Shuqin and Yi Zhonghai: "Sister-in-law, and Brother Yi, we have no objection to Yuwei being promised to Wen Zheng. Let's discuss a date so that I can arrange the time."

"It should."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, and then started chatting with Shen Zhongguo.

Although the two men had different identities, what was rare was that Yi Zhonghai was not nervous at all at this time. Instead, he had a lively conversation with Shen Zhongguo.

Lu Shuqin also nodded repeatedly, secretly feeling happy for her deceased sister.

The deaf old lady turned her gaze towards Shen Yuwei and waved at her: "Yuwei, come here, old lady."

Shen Yuwei's face was red and she was a little shy.

With so many elders present, they were still talking about her marriage with Yu Wenzhen.

At this moment, in addition to shyness, she also felt joy, happiness and other emotions.

When she heard the deaf old lady calling her, she quickly walked to her side and called out coquettishly, "Old lady."

"Good boy."

The deaf old lady took Shen Yuwei's hand, patted it with a kind smile, and then took out a small cloth bag from her arms.

"This was given to me by my mother-in-law when I got married." The deaf old lady opened the small cloth bag, and a mutton-fat white jade bracelet appeared in front of everyone.

Grabbing Shen Yuwei's little hand, the deaf old lady was about to put it on her, but Shen Yuwei subconsciously retracted her hand.

"Ma'am, this is too expensive."

Shen Yuwei naturally recognized the mutton-fat white jade.

This bracelet is finely crafted and is obviously not an ordinary item. Even though her family is prominent, she would not dare to easily accept such a precious gift.

"Take it."

Seeing that Shen Yuwei was a little hesitant, Mr. Shen made the decision for him.

After hearing what Mr. Shen said, Shen Yuwei obediently let the deaf old lady put it on her. She felt happy but also a little embarrassed.

"I think there's no need to pick a day."

After putting the bracelet on Shen Yuwei, the deaf old lady smiled and suggested: "We are in a new society now, and that kind of thing is not popular. I think it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. How about getting married to the two children today?"

"Great minds think alike, sister."

When Mr. Shen heard this, a smile broke out on his face.

He had exactly this idea, but he didn't have the time to mention it, so the deaf old lady brought it up first.

"How do you think about today?"

Mr. Shen turned around and looked at his wife and children.

Grandma Shen and her parents all nodded in agreement. At this time, Yi Zhonghai said, "Since it's decided today, there must be an engagement banquet. How about this? Next Sunday, Yuwei is off, so we can set up a few tables in our yard. This will also let the neighbors know so that they won't gossip in the future."

"I can see it."

Everyone agreed.

Therefore, Yu Wenzhen and Shen Yuwei's engagement skipped the step of meeting again next time and was directly completed.

night.

The three members of the Yi family who had returned home were chatting with the deaf old lady in the main room. In front of Yi Zhonghai was a notebook, on which were recorded the things that would be needed next Sunday.

"Uncle, I can take care of the meat and vegetables. You just need to be in charge and leave the rest to me."

Yu Wenzhen looked at the notebook that had two full pages of notes and asked Yi Zhonghai for his opinion.

"You are indeed more capable than me now."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, handed over the completed notebook, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. It doesn't have to be too early. Just get the stuff back by Saturday."

Yu Wenzheng took the notebook and nodded seriously: "I will do the job, just rest assured."

He is not bragging, his farm space has everything, from staple foods to vegetables and fruits, to various kinds of meat.

There are twenty-seven households in the courtyard, with a total of more than one hundred people, including adults and children. If we set up a banquet, there will be at least seventeen or eighteen tables.

This is taking into account the presence of people from the Shen family. Otherwise, fifteen tables would be enough for the people in the courtyard.

"Ah."

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment, and then instructed: "Calculate the quantity yourself. It doesn't matter if there are more, but it must not be less."

Yu Wenzheng nodded: "I understand."
