Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

Yu Li felt that Zhao De's words made sense.

"Brother Zhao, when do you plan to arrange our wedding banquet?"

When it comes to wedding banquets, it's generally advisable to discuss them beforehand.

We'll set a wedding date and hold the banquet later.

Or simply set a wedding date.

Pay the bride price as soon as possible to resolve this matter quickly.

...................

"Let's see if this Sunday is a good day to get married. If it is, let's choose Sunday!"

Would you host a banquet in your own backyard?

"How could we? We're getting married, why should we make them happy?"

Yu Li thought they weren't planning on having a banquet, but then Zhao De suggested it again:

"We'll set it up in your yard then, just have your mom tell the neighbors."

"That's a great idea!"

Yu Li was very happy because her neighbors in the courtyard were all very easy to get along with.

"Then I'll tell my mom about it later."

After that, the two of them cuddled together for a while longer.

Next, Zhao De took Yu Li to their respective local street offices to obtain letters of introduction.

Then they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

After successfully completing the process.

......................

Zhao De walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a joyful expression, holding his marriage certificate in his hand, and said:

"From now on, you'll be my wife!"

Now that my wife has come into the family, she finally has a legal status!

Yu Li was a little shy, but mostly happy.

After all, getting a marriage certificate means becoming a real couple.

Things that couples do naturally need to be done.

"Let's take a group photo!"

The two went to the nearby Lianyou Photo Studio together.

The shutter clicked.

The couple, who met in the morning, saw each other at noon, and got their marriage certificate in the afternoon, walked out of the photo studio hand in hand.

"I'm going to buy some things, then I'll go to your house!"

This was a major event, a marriage proposal, and Zhao De took it very seriously.

At the very least, the attitude must be made clear, and one must never appear stingy.

......................

So Zhao De went to the department store.

He started a shopping spree, and even Yu Li couldn't stop him.

And none of the items I bought were cheap.

You can tell from the bags of goods they're carrying.

Needless to say, sesame seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and brown sugar are indispensable.

In addition, there are cuttlefish, ribbonfish, cured meat, sausage, daylily, wood ear fungus, candy, pastries, bean flour, kelp, tofu, vermicelli, liquor, cigarettes, soap, and so on.

Zhao De spent over one hundred yuan on this purchase.

It also used up a lot of various tickets and certificates.

The things I bought were hung all over the bicycle, making it look like a small mountain.

It's so bad that it can't even carry people on the bike anymore; you have to push it.

I saw Yu Li wiping away tears.

A smile involuntarily crept onto Zhao De's lips.

He originally thought Yu Li was moved to tears.

Unexpectedly, she was distressed about the money he had spent.

A wife like that is worth staying with.

She's already willing to follow me.

......................

Zhao De comforted her, saying:

"Think about it, I bought so many things and brought them home."

"Your parents must be so proud and successful! Your neighbors must be so envious of you!"

Upon hearing Zhao De's words, Yu Li immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

The journey was filled with laughter and joy.

Around 5 p.m., the two arrived at Yu Li's courtyard.

This is a courtyard with two courtyards, housing more than ten families, a considerable number of people.

"Mom and Dad, Zhao De is here."

Yu Li did not deliberately lower her voice.

The neighbors in the courtyard also came out upon hearing the noise.

Everyone was surprised to see the things piled up on the bicycle.

Immediately, gasps of amazement arose, and envious glances were cast their way.

......................

"Look at this young man, he's really generous."

"You must have spent a lot of money buying all this stuff!"

"Look at Yu Li's new clothes and shoes, she really married into a good family!"

"Having money is one thing, but to bring so many gifts to propose marriage, it seems that the eldest daughter of the Yu family is truly blessed."

"That's strange. Wasn't she supposed to have a crush on that elementary school teacher's son?"

"I also heard that their family is struggling financially."

"You didn't listen to me, so let me tell you..."

At this moment, Yu Li felt particularly proud, as if she were riding on the coattails of a man.

Immediately following was the chatter of the neighbors.

When Yu's parents came out of the house, their eyes lit up when they saw Zhao De.

The young man was handsome and clean-cut, and looked very energetic.

He's a really nice young man.

"Hello, uncle and aunt!"

Zhao De quickly greeted them, as they were his future in-laws.

"Come in, Zhao De, come in quickly."

"Yu Li, you really are something, not even giving me a heads-up beforehand so I could have asked your mom to cook a few more dishes."

It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she becomes. Yu's mother enthusiastically went over and pulled Zhao De into the house.

Yu's father and Yu Haitang then unloaded the items from the bicycle.

"Zhao De, you've come, but you've brought so much stuff."

"This is what I should do, it's what I should do!"

Once everything was moved inside.

......................

Apart from Yu Li, Yu's father, Yu's mother, and Yu Haitang were all stunned.

There's so much! Food, daily necessities, drinks, cigarettes—you name it, they have it!

"Zhao De, you've brought far too much stuff, and it's all so valuable... we..."

"We really don't dare to accept them. You should take some with you later!"
