The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

Chapter 56 Xu Damao is rejected by the Lou family, He Yuzhu confesses his love

Xu Damao's mother, Li Yingzi, has been very proud these days. Her son is about to marry Lou Bancheng's daughter, so their family will be rich in the future.

Li Yingzi relied on her good relationship with the Tan family and took the opportunity to occasionally help them with work to often praise her son, saying that he was smart, studious, and capable. She also reminded Tan from time to time that her family was a poor peasant for three generations and that in this era, their family's identity could help the Lou family and others.

At 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Li Yingzi came to Lou's house happily. She wanted to finalize the marriage as soon as possible.

When Li Yingzi saw Tan, she immediately smiled and said, "Madam, look, when will we decide on the marriage between our Damao and your Xiao'e?"

Tan was very angry when she saw Li Yingzi smiling. She wanted to yell at her and kick her out. But her upbringing didn’t allow her to do that. So, Tan suppressed her anger and said, “Li Yingzi! Your Xu Damao is not worthy of our Ezi. Let’s forget about this marriage.” Li Yingzi was confused after hearing Tan’s cold and angry words. What was going on? Two days ago, Tan was very supportive of this marriage. Why did it become like this today? ? ?

"Husband, Madam..." Li Yingzi wanted to continue trying, but was interrupted coldly by Tan!

"Li Yingzi, I'm a little tired, you go back", and then he turned and went upstairs, leaving Li Yingzi embarrassed and at a loss.

Li Yingzi returned home with a puzzled look on her face. Xu Damao was waiting anxiously at his father's house.

It turned out that Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e on Saturday, and he couldn't wait to go to his father's house. As soon as he got home, he urged his mother to quickly finalize the marriage. That's why Xu's mother went to Lou's house today. Originally, Xu's mother wanted to wait for two more days.

Seeing his mother coming back, Xu Damao immediately came forward, grabbed his mother's hand and asked, "Mom, how is it going? Is it settled? When are you going to propose marriage?"

Looking at her excited son, Xu's mother said dejectedly, "The Lou family doesn't agree!"

When Xu Damao heard that the Lou family disagreed, he became anxious, "Disagree? Why don't you agree? Wasn't everything fine two days ago?"

Facing her son's three questions, Xu's mother said helplessly and angrily, "I just arrived at the Lou family and just said when it would be settled. Before I could finish my words, that Tan interrupted me and said that you two are not suitable, and then kicked me out! Isn't it just a little money? What's so great about it! Capitalist!"

Xu Damao was also full of doubts when he heard this, but he couldn't do anything if the other party didn't agree. But he thought about asking Lou Xiao'e on Monday when he went to work and getting a solution from her. Xu Damao, a real villain, would not give up easily when faced with a white, rich and beautiful woman who combines beauty and wealth.

On the other side, the He family

He Yushui, who was bribed by his brother with roast duck, went to the Song family on Saturday to invite the Song sisters to go to the library together on Sunday.

Regarding He Yushui's appointment, Song Xiaomei winked at her sister, while Song Xia blushed a little, and then pretended to be cool and said, "Okay, Yushui, see you at the library at 9:30 tomorrow morning. I just happened to be going to the library to borrow a book." Then Song Xiaomei and He Yushui smiled at each other and went to play together. Seeing their funny expressions, Song Xia blushed...

He Yushui and Song Xiaomei ran out of the Song family, then looked at each other and smiled, "Yushui, your brother..."

"Can't you see it? They are attracted to each other. Let's wait and see tomorrow, hahaha~"

Then, He Yushui whispered to Song Xiaomei, "Tomorrow, let's go to Bian Yi Fang to eat duck. My brother will treat you. Don't tell your sister. Also, don't eat too much tomorrow morning."

"Roast duck? Really?" Song Xiaomei asked in a loud voice.

"Keep your voice down so your sister doesn't hear you."

……

Sunday, Ho's

"Yushui, get up and cook. We're about to leave! It's too late!"

"He Yuzhu! It's only six o'clock! You..." He Yushui, who was woken up by He Yuzhu early in the morning, was complaining one second, and was shocked by He Yuzhu's dress the next second.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Looking at He Yuzhu's freshly washed hair and the skin care products he used, there was nothing wrong with all that. But why are you wearing a Zhongshan suit in such a hot day?

"Isn't this too much? Brother, go outside and take a look. You are wearing this in such hot weather. Aren't you afraid that others will call you a fool?"

"Really? But it's very handsome like this."

He Yushui covered his head and said, "Brother, I won't go. You go by yourself. I'm afraid of being embarrassed."

"Okay~ I don't know how to appreciate it." Actually, He Yuzhu also realized that it was 30 degrees Celsius at noon, and it was indeed a bit silly to wear it like this.

Well, he admitted in his heart that he was excited all night and it was his first date in two lifetimes.

After breakfast, He Yuzhu and He Yushui went out at 8 o'clock.

"Brother, it's half past nine. We'll be there in half an hour. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Song family

"Xiaomei, what do you think of me wearing this skirt today?"

"Xiaomei, I let my hair down today. Do you think it looks good?"

"Xiaomei..."

Song Xiaomei was speechless. She only drank a small bowl of porridge for breakfast. After all, she had a big meal at noon. Seeing that her sister had been dressing up for almost an hour, she was also drunk in her heart.

Song's father and mother also felt something and smiled at each other, but they didn't say anything at the moment. They thought they would ask when they came back in the evening.

"Sister, you are already beautiful enough. Brother Zhuzi has been fascinated by you for a long time. Stop dressing up and let's go, otherwise we will be late." After hearing what her sister said, Song Xia looked at the time and found that it was indeed a little late, so she hurriedly said,

"Why don't you leave now!" She said as she walked out the door. Song Xiaomei rolled her eyes at her from behind.

At 9:20, Song Xia brought Song Xiaomei to the library. At this time, the He brothers and sisters were already waiting at the door. Song Xia blushed and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, when did you arrive?"

"We are just one step ahead, hehe," He Yuzhu was also very embarrassed, but pretended to be cool and said

"Come on, let's go in"

"Yeah," the two of them left the other two aside. He Yushui and Song Xiaomei stared at the two people who walked into the library side by side, "Yushui, have we been abandoned?"

"I think so"

"Yushui, what should we do?" Song Xiaomei didn't know what to do next, so she asked

"Hey, my brother just gave me two dollars, let's go shopping for a while."

"Ah? Why did my sister only give me one piece? No, I have to go find her," Song Xiaomei said with a pout.

"Hahahaha~"

The two of them went shopping nearby. Today, they had a huge amount of money.

library

He Yuzhu and Song Xia entered the library. Seeing that their sister did not follow them in, they were relieved and felt that their money was not wasted.

The two of them each found a book, and then found a place where no one was around to sit opposite each other. At first, they both felt embarrassed. After all, they hadn't broken the window paper yet.

As the pages turned, both of them were immersed in the book in their hands.

"Xia Xia, have a drink of Beibingyang," Song Xia, who was concentrating on reading, was suddenly interrupted by a voice. She looked up and saw He Yuzhu with a smile on his face, holding two bottles of Beibingyang.

"Is it okay for me to call you Xia Xia?"

"Hmm~," Song Xia lowered her head and replied in a low voice

"It's hot, have a drink of Arctic Ocean," He Yuzhu handed over another bottle of Arctic Ocean with water droplets on the surface due to the temperature difference.

Song Xia took it awkwardly and drank it in small sips, but the Arctic Ocean didn't seem to be as sweet as before.

Next, the two of them flipped through their books absentmindedly.

He Yuzhu looked at his watch and saw it was already eleven o'clock, so he said, "Xia Xia, you must be hungry, let's go eat?"

"This..." Song Xia hesitated. After all, eating out in a restaurant was a luxury in this era. There is a saying that a casual meal in a restaurant is equivalent to three days of feasting at home.

"Let's go. I guess those two girls are hungry. Yu Shui didn't eat much this morning." He Yuzhu revealed his sister's embarrassing story.

Hearing this, Song Xia had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, then let's go to the state-owned restaurant and have a bowl of noodles."

He Yuzhu did not answer. The two of them left the library and returned the Arctic Ocean bottle. Then, they saw two girls who were starving. The two girls were looking at He Yuzhu and the others with dissatisfaction. There was nothing they could do. The two girls had not eaten much breakfast for the roast duck at noon, so they were hungry at ten o'clock.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You must be hungry. Let's go eat." Then He Yushui and Song Xiaojuan led the way on bicycles.

"Well, let me take you," He Yuzhu said with a blushing face, but in his heart he gave the two girls a big thumbs up.

Song Xia's face was red as a monkey's butt at this moment, and she nodded. Just like that, He Yuzhu rode a 1962-inch bicycle with his favorite girl to ride in the capital in .

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance of Bian Yi Fang and saw two girls waiting at the door.

"Brother, why are you so slow? I'm almost starving!"

"Yes, sister, I'm almost starving, let's go!"

"Brother Zhuzi, are we going to eat this? This is not good." Song Xia only realized that they were going to have roast duck today. She thought it would be fine to just have some noodles. Eating at Bianyifang was too extravagant.

"Let's go, it's okay to eat once in a while," Song Xia had no choice but to follow him in.

The four of them ate two roast ducks, and finally He Yuzhu packed one for Song's father and mother. In the end, they spent a total of 18 yuan. Song Xia said she would not accept the packed duck. He Yuzhu said, "In order to invite you out, I promised those two girls that you can eat all you can of roast duck, but I can't forget my uncle and aunt." This sentence made Song Xia blush.

At this time, He Yushui and Song Xiaomei, who were holding their stomachs with their hands, were very tactful and rode away on their bicycles in advance. In this way, He Yuzhu hung the roast duck on the handlebars, and Song Xia could only sit on the back seat.

Song Xia felt very sweet at the moment, but also a little nervous. After all, the window paper had not been broken yet. Soon they arrived at the entrance of Song Xia's alley. He Yuzhu stopped the car and Song Xia got out. He Yuzhu said to Song Xia seriously, "Xia Xia, I like you. I liked you the first time I saw you in Beihai Park. I don't know how you feel about me."

At this moment, He Yuzhu's heart was beating very fast. Although he could feel that Song Xia felt good about him, he was still nervous as he looked at the girl in a floral dress and long hair like an ink painting. He Yuzhu felt that he could not wait any longer and wanted to marry her as soon as possible. A minute after He Yuzhu's words came out, Song Xia finally suppressed her pounding heart and said in a very low voice, "I like you, too."

After saying this, she turned around and was about to run, but was caught by He Yuzhu's big hand, who whispered in her ear, "I will find a matchmaker to propose marriage as soon as possible." After handing the roast duck to Song Xia, He Yuzhu rode away on his bicycle.

Then I heard He Yuzhu shouting, "I'll be back soon!"

Watching He Yuzhu's leaving figure and listening to his words, Song Xia was actually amused. In the early summer, she smiled beautifully.

Chapter 57: Finding someone to renovate the house, Yi Zhonghai refuses to adopt a child

Riding his bike and feeling the breeze on his face, He Yuzhu felt that he was the happiest man in the world. He was already imagining the good days after marrying Song Xia. Suddenly, he shouted loudly: I want to have ten children! Passersby also looked at this "lunatic" with strange faces.

"No, we have to repair the house first. That house is not worthy of my Xia Xia. Let's go to the street to find Director Wang tomorrow," he thought about his future plans.

The Song family, Father and Mother Song looked at the roast duck on the table, then looked at their eldest daughter who was blushing, and then looked at their little girl who was eating so much that her belly was bulging. The couple was sure that someone was eyeing their cabbage.

The younger brother Song Yuanchao stared at the roast duck, smelling the aroma and drooling.

Song's father, Song Guodong said, "Tell me, which kid is this?"

Song Xia lowered her head, her face turned redder, and she whispered, "What kid? It's just a roast duck."

Song Guodong looked at his little girl and said, "Xiaomei, what does that boy do?"

Song Xiaomei excitedly blurted out everything. She couldn't hold it back any longer. "Dad, we went to Bianyifang today and ate two whole roast ducks! You don't know..."

Song Guodong was speechless, "The point!"

"The point? Oh! His name is He Yuzhu, a level 24 chef at the steel mill, 95 years old this year, he has only one sister, He Yushui, she is my classmate, the one who often comes here, she lives in the middle courtyard of No. , Hongxing Street"

Song Guodong and his wife looked at each other, and Song Guodong nodded and said, "Yuan Chao, I just finished lunch, I'll eat later!"

Song Yuanchao looked unhappy

Then, Song Xia's mother went out. What did she do? Of course, she went to inquire about He Yuzhu's news. She had to ask the neighbors. Although the couple did not want to interfere in their daughter's marriage, they still had to check it out.

Song Ma came back before dinner, took a big sip of water, and said, "Boss, He Yuzhu is a good person, but he used to be a bit of a scoundrel, but now it's not like that. His mother died early, and his father ran away with a widow. He is indeed a chef, earning 425 yuan a month. Director Wang of their street has a very good opinion of him and he is also an anti-espionage hero. This is what happened..."
