Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Are you going to change it?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "Are you going to change it? If not, I'll speak up." Seeing Yan Jiecheng didn't speak, He Yuzhu looked at Yu Li and began to speak, "From the first time I saw Yu Li, I knew that I had to marry this woman. Fortunately, Yu Li also has a good impression of me. I know that uncle and aunt have spent a lot of effort in raising Yu Li over the years. This is a little gift from the younger generation!"

He Yuzhu took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and put it on the eight-immortals table, ten big black bills, a thin stack. This was Old Yu's five months salary. To be honest, Old Yu's family hadn't saved so much money in all these years!

Yu's mother stared at the money with greedy eyes. Just as she was about to take it, Old Yu grabbed her arm and said in a stiff tone, "Put it away. Although our family is poor, we are not selling our daughter!" Old Yu was angry. Dowry was not given like this. Was he trying to slap her in the face?

"Uncle, this is really a little gift from me! It's not easy for you to raise Yuli!" Seeing that Old Yu's face was not right, He Yuzhu explained,

"It's not easy, so I asked you to put it away. You are going to get married and become a family soon. I don't want you to live a hard life because of the bride price. I am marrying my daughter, not selling her! I hope she can live a good life, not support the family with the money from selling my daughter. This is a shame for a man! You may not understand these principles now, but when you have children, you will understand the intentions of being a parent!"

Old Yu also explained that it was understandable for children to do something wrong, after all, they had not experienced these procedures. Yu Li, who was standing, saw that He Yuzhu was willing to pay a gift of 100 yuan to marry her. She felt warm in her heart and was really moved. She finally felt the feeling of being liked and loved. At this time, Yu Li felt that she was happy and did not make a mistake about him! Before, she just thought that He Yuzhu had good material conditions, so she chose him, but after all, there was no emotion. Now, Yu Li has love for He Yuzhu in her heart, which also shows the simplicity of people in this era!

"Zhu Zi, put it away. But Old Yu, don't blame Zhu Zi. He means well. The child has no adults to teach him, so he doesn't understand these things. Don't be surprised! Your Yu Li has good vision and chose a kind and good son-in-law. You will be blessed in the future!"

"Zhu Zi, I know you have a good heart, but you can't just give out gifts randomly. There are rules. Don't do something bad with good intentions. I'll make the decision. The gift will be fifty yuan. Old Yu, do you think that's ok?"

"Yu Li, uncle, I can also give you fifty yuan as a betrothal gift. No, I'll give you sixty yuan, which is ten yuan higher than his. I'm younger and prettier than him. Yu Li, choose me!" Yan Jiecheng stood up. He was furious. If he didn't fight for it, he would have no chance! But no one paid attention to what he said. Who would dare to hire him with such an angry temper? His performance was like a clown. You think you go to the market to buy vegetables and bargain, from twenty to thirty, from fifty to sixty. If he had called out fifty yuan at the beginning, people would still look up to him. Now he is raising the price in a hurry, which makes people look down on him and think he is here to make trouble. Raising the price little by little shows that Yan Jiecheng is stingy, while He Yuzhu, who made the final decision, shows his generosity and generosity. He is really willing to give up for Yu Li!

Director Wang glanced at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan! How can a child talk nonsense when an adult talks like this? How were they brought up? They don't know any rules at all. And they are said to be from a scholarly family? Have they read so much? Last time, you said your spouse has a mental disorder. I heard from the doctor that this disease can be passed on to children. I see Yan Jie looks a bit like him. Why don't you take your child for a check-up? Early detection and early treatment, don't delay it!"

"No, it really won't happen! It won't be hereditary!" Yan Bugui was anxious. If this word got out, the children of the Yan family wouldn't be able to find wives, and the daughters wouldn't be able to marry off!

"How can you be so sure? Is your spouse's illness fake and is used to deceive people?" Director Wang asked with a serious expression. Did he really think that she, the director of the street office, was a decoration? Without Yan Bugui's connivance, Yan Jiecheng dared to jump out and disrupt the situation again and again. He dared to act so unreasonably in front of me. He really couldn't recognize the situation!

"Director Wang, it's the child's fault. I'll take him home right now!" Yan Bugui was sweating. He hadn't finished dealing with his wife's affairs yet. If he really offended Director Wang, his family would be in big trouble!

"Dad, why should I be afraid of her? Now is a new society, love is free, so what if I pursue Yu Li?" Yan Jiecheng really got into a fight today! He Yuzhu was really annoyed this time. Did he really think that if a tiger doesn't show its might, you would be a sick cat?

He Yuzhu was about to roll up his sleeves and stand up, "Sit down and stop messing around!" Director Wang scolded, slapping the table and standing up, "Do you really treat me as a decoration? Just because you are nice to me, you can do whatever you want in front of me," Director Wang shouted angrily at Yan Jiecheng.

"Free love is good. You can date whoever you want and whoever agrees to date you. You are obsessed with Yu Li and she wants to marry you. Did she agree? You are blackmailing me. If a woman you don't like says she likes you, do you have to marry her?

"Why would I marry her if I don't like her?"

"Isn't that different? Yu Li has already told you clearly that she likes He Yuzhu instead of you, so why would she marry you? Tell me clearly, just because you like Yu Li, you want her to marry you. Isn't this robbery? Isn't this moral kidnapping? Do you want everything to go your way?"

Director Wang nodded at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, your education level is not good enough! This child's thinking is seriously problematic!"

"Director Wang, I will change, I will definitely change, I will definitely teach him a lesson when I go back!" Yan Bugui was sweating. Yan Jiecheng, who was standing next to him, saw Director Wang showing off his power and lost his previous arrogance. He was trembling with fear! Yu Li looked at him and shook her head. He turned out to be a paper tiger that would burst with a single poke. Fortunately, he was not chosen!

"Matchmaker Wang, your job is to serve the public, which is very good. You have worked hard to help young people solve their problems. However, you must pay attention to seeking truth from facts and not making up stories. Just say what you think! Do you understand?" Don't underestimate the deterrent power of a street office director. Matchmaker Wang nodded in panic, thinking to herself that she would never take any work from No. 95 Courtyard again. It was too much effort and it would easily get into trouble!

Since then, Jia Zhang has made No. 95 Courtyard a bad name in the architectural world! And Yan Bugui has made No. 95 Courtyard a very bad impression in the matchmaking world! It will be difficult for young people in this courtyard to find a wife!

As Yan Bugui and his party left, the atmosphere at the scene began to become harmonious. Nowadays, there is no particular requirement for getting married, so the wedding is scheduled for next Sunday. They can go and get the marriage certificate after He Yuzhu goes back and gets a letter of introduction. This will be a good chance to use the certificate to buy some wedding supplies!

The back of each marriage certificate lists the things that can be purchased during the wedding, such as enamel basins, kettles, candies, etc. You don’t need receipts when buying these things, which is also a kind of benefit!

As for the dowry, the Yu family can only give Yu Li the quilt she used to cover herself with as compensation, and they really can’t give anything else!

He Yuzhu didn't care. He just needed to go back and prepare two new quilts. Everything else in the house was new and didn't need any preparation!

As for whether to invite guests, He Yuzhu hesitated. According to his idea, he wanted to have a big party to announce that he had established a family! However, Chen Zhiguo's warning made him feel uneasy, so he decided to wait until the evening to discuss it with Chen Zhiguo!

After agreeing with Yu Li to come over to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, He Yuzhu and Director Wang left on their bikes. After seeing them off, Yu Li felt that nothing was real. Am I going to get married?

On the other hand, He Yuzhu was driving at lightning speed, with his mouth stretched to his ears! If someone knew him, they would definitely say that this idiot was being stupid again!

. . . . . . . . . .

Chapter 110 Meeting Lou Xiaoe again!

"My suggestion is to simply prepare a table of dishes and have a meal together as a family. The current situation is special. If you hold a grand celebration, it will be difficult to explain where you got all the ingredients. The main thing is that the people in this courtyard are not ordinary people. If someone gets jealous of you and reports you, it will be troublesome for you. On a happy day, it is better to keep a low profile and live your own life behind closed doors. It is better than anything else!" After listening to He Yuzhu's ideas, Chen Zhiguo immediately gave his opinion!

"Yes, don't you know what the situation is now? Forget it, just send some candies to each family!" Chen Dayong also took over the topic. Last time, Chen Zhiguo caused trouble by putting up the beams of the house. After Chen Dayong returned home, he scolded Chen Zhiguo for the first time. It was indeed a bit of a show-off!

Any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

Although He Yuzhu wanted to give Yu Li a grand wedding to express his importance and love for her, the reality did not allow him to do so! If Chen Zhiguo hadn't supported him from behind, he would have been living on cornmeal every day!

. . . . . . . . . . .

The next day, on the way to get the marriage certificate, He Yuzhu told Yu Li about this matter, "I'm sorry, Yu Li, I can't give you a lively and grand wedding!"

Yu Li was very reasonable. She understood He Yuzhu's feelings, "It's okay, Zhuzi, as long as the two of us can live a good life! Don't think too much about anything else!" Yu Li's point of view was the same as Chen Zhiguo's. People who are not vain and have suffered and been hungry can understand that no matter how good the ceremony is, it is not as good as eating and drinking well yourself!

A marriage certificate is like an award certificate, with a handwritten name and no photo required. You can just go to the street office with a letter of introduction and a household registration book to get it. Yu Li also has a city hukou, so she was directly registered in He Yuzhu's household registration book!

After leaving the neighborhood office, He Yuzhu looked at the marriage certificate and laughed, "I have a wife!" Yu Li, who was standing next to him, blushed and pulled He Yuzhu's arm, "Hurry up, we still have to go change the food certificate and buy things!"

The grain book needs to be processed at the grain station, which means filling in Yu Li's name on He Yuzhu's grain book, and the page with Yu Li's name on the original Yu family grain book just needs to be invalidated!

He Yuzhu took half a day off and let Yu Li handle the shopping. He Yuzhu drove Yu Li back to the steel mill. At the factory gate, He Yuzhu took out his bicycle key, house key, and 150 yuan, and said, "Yu Li, this family will be left to you from now on!"

Yu Li didn't expect He Yuzhu to be so direct and trust her so much, "Are you so confident that you would let me take charge of this family?"

"You are my wife, why should I worry about that!" He Yuzhu said carelessly.

He Yuzhu's cool move directly brought the sense of happiness to the maximum. Yu Li's eyes were full of stars. If it wasn't in public, Yu Li really wanted to hug him. She made the right choice. He Yuzhu is a good man and she has good taste!

Yu Li counted out thirty yuan and handed the rest to He Yuzhu. "I'm worried about keeping so much money on me. I'm afraid it might be stolen. Wait until I marry you and then you can give it to me."

"Okay! I'll listen to you!" He Yuzhu didn't dare to stay any longer. This was the busiest time in the cafeteria. As a new supervisor, he had to make sure he didn't make any mistakes! He said goodbye to Yu Li and ran to the steel mill!

The guard who opened the door asked curiously, "He Yuzhu, who is that woman?"

"My wife is pretty, isn't she?" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

One afternoon, the news that Sha Zhu from the cafeteria had married a beautiful wife spread throughout the steel rolling mill. For most people, it was just a new thing that was forgotten after being talked about, but for Yi Zhonghai, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he had a gloomy face for the whole afternoon!

. . . . . . . . . .

Chen Zhiguo didn't expect that his novelty would actually create a couple and end He Yuzhu's single life. Then there won't be so many bloody things in his future. This is also a good thing. It changed the fate of He Yuzhu and Yu Li! He changed the plot himself. What will happen next, he doesn't know! Just treat it as a magic change, it's quite fun!

Jia Dongxu was not hanging on the wall and was still alive and well. It was not known whether the baby in Qin Huairu's belly was a good idea or not. Yan Bugui also lost his teaching job. The people in the courtyard that he traveled through were still the same people, but the development of the story was different!

This was just Chen Zhiguo's random thought during his break. He is now writing the second draft of his paper. After reviewing the first draft of his paper, Li Guoqiang gave him a lot of opinions and suggestions, all of which he needs to figure out and understand on his own!

At the same time, Li Guoqiang also suggested to the leaders that the two newly built workshops of the steel rolling mill be used as a pilot to adopt a new production method. To this end, the leaders were also discussing the rationality and practicality of this new method!

Of course, Chen Zhiguo had to speed up his thesis. For this reason, Chen Zhiguo had been working overtime these days, which made him feel like he was working 996! Li Guoqiang also gave Chen Zhiguo enough time. Except for the fact that he had to pick him up every day, Chen Zhiguo could use his time!

In order to look up information, after sending Li Guoqiang off, Chen Zhiguo changed into a GAZ-69 and drove directly to the library. He had originally wanted to go to Gu Cheng to settle the money, but now he could only wait until he finished writing the thesis!

The library has five floors in total. Except for the fifth floor which is an office area, the other four floors are all books! Just when Chen Zhiguo was reading quietly on the second floor, a person sat next to him with a faint fragrance. Some people still spray perfume now, but this smell is different from perfume, it feels a bit like body odor!

Just as Chen Zhiguo turned around in confusion, "Hehe! We meet again!"

It's her! A smiling face with baby fat, white and quiet, isn't this Lou Xiao'e? Chen Zhiguo suddenly realized that he had met her in the library last time, it was really predestined!

"Hello, Lou Xiao'e!"

"Hello, Chen Zhiguo!"

"Here, I promised to give it to you!" Lou Xiao'e handed Chen Zhiguo a copybook, "Poems of Li Qingzhao". Chen Zhiguo then remembered that when he bought the copybook, Lou Xiao'e said she would give him a copybook, but he never had time to get it, and he didn't want to contact people like Lou Bancheng, there was no need! Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e has been thinking about this matter. It seems that she has always carried this copybook with her. This thought alone touched Chen Zhiguo. Moreover, this copybook is not an ordinary version, it is antique at first glance!

But this is a library, not suitable for long conversations, which would affect others, so Chen Zhiguo packed up the books in front of him and put them in a cloth bag, "Let's go out and talk!"

Lou Xiao'e also picked up the book in front of her and followed Chen Zhiguo out of the library!

"How did you come?"

"I came here by bike!" Lou Xiao'e pointed to a 26-inch bicycle parked not far away. This type of bicycle is rare in the market, with few produced and sold. The mainstream in the market is still the 28-inch bicycle, which is good for carrying goods and people, and is very sturdy!

"Let's find a place to sit!" Standing in the library is not a good idea, with people coming and going all the time!

"How about we go out for dinner? I'll treat you!" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile on her face.

Chen Zhiguo looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock. "Let's go. Where should we eat?"

"You decide! I can eat anything!" Chen Zhiguo felt very comfortable hearing what Lou Xiao'e said. This tutor is really good!

"How about going to Bianyifang to eat roast duck?" Chen Zhiguo asked.

"Great! I haven't eaten duck from Bianyifang for a long time!" Lou Xiao'e was a little excited. She was very cute and didn't have the maturity of a nineteen or twenty year old at all!

Bian Yi Fang was not far from the library, so neither of them thought of taking a car. They just walked and talked, and they arrived in five minutes. Although it was not yet time for dinner, there were already quite a few diners sitting in Bian Yi Fang!

Two of us found a small table by the window. It was a bit remote, in the corner, but it was perfect for chatting!

After ordering a duck, Chen Zhiguo ordered four side dishes and two bottles of Beibingyang soda.

The roast duck at Bianyifang is a "stewed oven roast duck", the earliest Beijing roast duck. The duck is gutted and marinated with seasonings, and the whole process is smokeless and without open flames. The oven door is closed after it is heated red, and the duck is roasted using heat. The method is inspired by the Western roast goose.

Quanjude's roast duck is "hanging oven roast duck", which means the duck is not gutted. Only a small hole is made in the duck, the internal organs are taken out, and then boiling water is poured into the duck's stomach, and then the small hole is tied up. Then it is hung over the fire and roasted. There are several advantages to this method. The first is that the duck does not lose water due to being roasted. The second is that the water swells the duck's stomach, so that the duck's skin is swollen and not roasted soft, so the duck skin is very thin and crispy. The duck skin becomes the most delicious part of the roast duck.

I ate Quanjude’s roast duck a few days ago, and today I came to try the duck from Bianyifang to see what the difference is between the two!

After ordering the food, there was a brief silence between the two. Both wanted to talk, but didn't know what topic to talk about!

"Thank you for still thinking about the calligraphy!" Chen Zhiguo was very grateful. It felt great to have someone take such a small thing to heart.

"After I went home last time, I found it, thinking you would come to see me. But I waited for you for several days and you didn't come. So, I would take it with me every time I go out, looking forward to meeting you again!" Lou Xiao'e still felt a little resentful when she mentioned this matter. She was so worried and anxious in the first few days that she even lost her appetite. She just didn't wait for Chen Zhiguo to come!

"I'm sorry, I've been busy with my graduation thesis since the start of the school year. I came to the library this time to look up information!" Chen Zhiguo took this opportunity to talk about his experiences over the past six months.

"You're only in your junior year and you're going to graduate early?" Lou Xiao'e was surprised. Geniuses are just different. Not only did he skip grades in elementary school and middle school, but he also graduated from college early. Really, how could a poor student like herself deal with this?

Chapter 111 Do you want to choose an alias or a code name?

"I have learned all the knowledge from the university textbooks and have passed the graduation exams. What I lack now is to connect theory with practice and apply the knowledge from the textbooks to work. So I asked my teacher to do an internship with me and write my graduation thesis at the same time!"

"I really admire you for having such a spirit of study. I can't do that. I get sleepy as soon as I read the textbooks!" Lou Xiao'e laughed.

"The living environment is different. I have to fight for my own living environment!" Chen Zhiguo said calmly.

Lou Xiao'e thought about it and nodded, "I really envy you. Your parents are so open-minded. They support you in everything you do!"

"My parents are not well educated, so they don't think too much. Since I started school, they let me make my own decisions, and they are only responsible for helping me coordinate!"

"It's great to have such open-minded parents. I want them too!" Lou Xiao'e said aggrievedly.

"What's the matter? If you are unhappy, you can tell me if you don't mind. I am a good listener!"

"It's no big deal, and there's nothing I can't say," Lou Xiao'e sighed, "My dad wants me to get married!"

"You are already at the age to get married. Maybe you don't like the person they chose?" Chen Zhiguo thought, could she be going to marry Xu Damao?

After traveling through time, Chen Zhiguo had not come into contact with Xu Damao. He appeared in the courtyard less frequently and had perfectly avoided contact with Xu Damao. Through He Yuzhu's chats, he found out that he and Xu Damao did not have any deep hatred. They were childhood friends and they were always bickering. While teasing each other, they got angry with each other. Usually, Xu Damao made He Yuzhu angry, and then he slipped away. Then, they got together again after a few days, and the cycle continued!

Chen Zhiguo thought to himself that in the later period, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were incompatible. Was it Yi Zhonghai who was behind this, in order to help him turn the Siheyuan into a place where he, Yi Zhonghai, had the final say?

However, Yi Zhonghai has no chance now. He is no longer the boss, and there is no need for him to sow discord between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao!

However, He Yuzhu is certain that Xu Damao is a playboy. This guy is full of tricks. This is He Yuzhu's evaluation of Xu Damao!
