Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 45 Zhonghai...

The incident in the middle courtyard soon faded away. Although many neighbors gathered, the entire courtyard was home to about a hundred families. After He Yuzhu and Chen Miaoyun distributed wedding candies in the middle courtyard, they went to the front and back yards to give wedding candies to the neighbors in the courtyard.

And in the entire No. 95 courtyard, the hot topic today has become Zhuzi's marriage.

The majority of words were congratulatory. After all, He Yuzhu was no longer like his original self, Shazhu. He had a bad reputation in the courtyard and had not fallen out with others. On the contrary, because his family had bought bicycles and some big items, and because of his strength in decorating the house, and because of the growing reputation of Master He from the steel mill, He Yuzhu actually had a certain reputation in the courtyard.

In addition, it was a wedding and wedding candies were given out all around, so the atmosphere in the courtyard was quite festive and lively.

Of course, everyone envied Zhuzi's ability. They didn't expect that Zhuzi, who was already 25 years old, could still marry such a young and beautiful wife.

That night, He family.

After the major renovation, the He family had their second dinner together. Although a banquet could not be held due to the special period, it was a wedding after all, so the family had to have a formal meal to celebrate.

Tonight, He Yuzhu, He Yushui, Chen Miaoyun, Chen Miaozhi, and the deaf old lady. Of course, at the suggestion of the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu also agreed that Yi Zhonghai and his wife should come together to celebrate. After all, more people means more fun.

After distributing wedding candies in the afternoon, He Yuzhu was already busy at the stove at home.

When Yi Zhonghai and the aunt came over in the evening, they were carrying an old hen that had just been killed at the market, two strings of wild mushrooms, and a pound of fatty meat.

If the deaf old lady had not told him in advance, He Yuzhu would have almost thought that Yi Zhonghai and his wife were going to make him make a mistake with the things they brought.

It was already an era of material scarcity, let alone this special period like now.

Only a senior worker like Yi Zhonghai, who has no children at home to digest food, can come up with these ingredients at a time like this.

But even so, Yi Zhonghai definitely took a lot of pain by taking these things.

"Good grandson, just eat. If you have anything to say later, don't respond. If you really can't, wait for grandma to help you."

When no one was around, the old lady came to He Yuzhu's ear and said this.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes lit up and he felt happy.

"Well, it seems that this old lady's heart is indeed leaning towards me. Otherwise, if it were the original old lady, she would never remind Zhuzi of these things."

This is not surprising. After all, He Yuzhu has captured the old lady's heart. What's more, Zhuzi has a good temper and personality. It is normal for the old lady to favor Zhuzi.

He Yuzhu didn't stop using the spatula in his hand, but nodded calmly at the old lady and blinked his eyes at the same time.

When the old lady saw this scene, she was slightly stunned, then she smiled and patted Zhuzi's shoulder, but didn't say anything else and went to the living room.

From the look in Zhuzi's eyes, the old lady knew that her good grandson was not a fool and understood everything. At the same time, she felt that her choice was correct. ...

Everyone enjoyed the meal in the evening. Zhuzi's master craftsmanship, coupled with the hard ingredients today, made the neighbors in the same courtyard drool at the smell!
But everyone also knows that today is Zhuzi's wedding day, so no one is tactless enough to find trouble.

During the meal, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt asked about the deaf old lady's well-being as usual. They also praised Zhuzi's new wife.

After dinner, Chen Miaoyun took the initiative to help take the dishes to the sink for washing.

"Zhu Zi, Miao Yun is a really good girl. You are so lucky."

An old lady also went over to help with the chores, so only He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai were left at the eight-immortals table.

"Zhu Zi, I wanted to talk to you about something this morning, but you were busy at the time, so I didn't say it."

"Uncle, just say whatever you want to say." He Yuzhu was sitting on a chair. When he heard this, he knew that something was coming, so after drinking a sip of tea, he looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"Well, let me be frank with you. In our courtyard, we have always advocated mutual help. If there is anything that can be done between neighbors, we should help each other. So, today, I have something that I would like to ask for your help."

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and didn't interrupt.

"You know about your sister-in-law Huairu's situation. The child was born prematurely. I asked your aunt to stay with her in the hospital for a whole night. Now the Jia family has three children. Life is really not easy. I was thinking that you were working in the kitchen..."

Before Yi Zhonghai could finish, the deaf old lady who was listening beside him suddenly said, "Zhonghai, I remember that Jia Zhangshi has been at home and has not gone out to work, right?"

After hearing what the old lady said, Yi Zhonghai was slightly startled, but still nodded: "Yes, old lady, Jia Zhang has a rural household registration, usually stays at home, and sometimes does needlework."

At this time, He Yuzhu also spoke up: "Uncle, do you want me to bring lunch boxes to the kitchen and help Qin Huairu and the others?"

Seeing Zhuzi take the initiative to say this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up: "You don't have to be like this, Zhuzi, you are married after all, and you and Miaoyun are the head of the family. What I think is that you work in the kitchen after all, and a cook must be better than other ordinary workers. So, when serving food or there are leftovers in the kitchen, you can help a little bit..."

"I can't help you with this, uncle. If someone reports me, I will not only lose my job, but I will also be locked up by the police station. I have to think about my family. Besides, I have not brought any leftovers with me. If you don't believe me, you can go to the kitchen and ask around."

Let yourself help Qin Huairu's family?
He Yuzhu finally got married and could legitimately stop being entangled with a widow, but he was so stupid as to do this.

Yi Zhonghai's expression froze for a moment. He didn't expect Zhuzi to refuse so straightforwardly. However, he also knew that this matter would not be easily resolved. As a moral master, he had already thought of an excuse. Just as he was about to come up with an excuse, the deaf old lady beside him spoke again.

"Zhonghai..."
