Siheyuan: My life is my decision

"Zhuzi, stop shouting"

Lou Xiao'e next to her didn't expect He Yuzhu to yell as soon as he came out. She was startled. People passing by turned to look here.

Lou Xiao'e blushed and hit He Yuzhu, then turned around and ran away. It was so embarrassing in public.

"Daughter-in-law, wait for me..."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e running away and smiled, shouting, Lou Xiao'e not only did not stop after hearing it in front, but her steps became faster.

The two did not go back to the courtyard directly, but went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few kilograms of candy. Then He Yuzhu bought two sets of new clothes and two pairs of shoes for Lou Xiaoe. Lou Xiaoe didn't want them at first, but He Yuzhu insisted on buying them for her.

When passing the men's clothing, Lou Xiao'e also wanted to buy new clothes for He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu refused. He pointed to the Chinese tunic suit and said that he had another set, but Lou Xiao'e finally chose a pair of velvet leather shoes for him.

Since Lou Xiaoe will move to his place to live with him from today on, I bought some more daily necessities for Lou Xiaoe.

Then He Yuzhu bought three more pork tube bones, two pounds of pork belly, radish, potatoes, lotus root, cabbage and so on.

But the portion is not much, that is, today’s amount, because tomorrow they will set off to Baocheng City to find He Daqing.

By the time the two of them came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, carrying large and small bags, it was already past ten o'clock when they returned to the courtyard.

The snow was not falling so heavily now and was much lighter than it was in the morning. When the two of them walked into the courtyard, they saw no one. Today is Monday. Those who work go to work and those who go to school.

Others may have stayed at home because of the snow. He Yuzhu took Lou Xiaoe back to his room. After putting down his things, Lou Xiaoe said that he would go to the old lady to get all her things. He Yuzhu nodded and agreed.

Then He Yuzhu locked the door, and together with Lou Xiaoe, came to the door of the old lady’s room in the backyard.

"dong dong dong"

"Grandma, we are back"

He Yuzhu stood at the door and shouted

"Squeak!"

The old lady's room opened from the inside

"Big Mom?"

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e looked at the people at the door and shouted

"You are back"

The aunt looked at He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe at the door and said, but her eyes were a little dim.

"Yes, Auntie"

He Yuzhu nodded to the aunt

"I heard from the old lady that you two have registered. Is this done?"

The eldest mother asked

"Yeah, I just came back from the Civil Affairs Bureau."

He Yuzhu said lightly

"Zhuzi, Ezi, congratulations to you."

“Thank you, aunt”

He Yuzhu looked a little impatient. After opening the door, the aunt kept blocking the door and didn't say anything to let them in. It was still snowing outside.

In just a short while, he and Lou Xiaoe were covered with snow

"When are you two having a wedding reception?"

The aunt didn't seem to notice this and continued to ask.

“Still choosing a date”

He Yuzhu didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore. He reached out and took Lou Xiao'e's hand, raised his feet and walked inside.

"My dear grandson, Ezi, come in quickly"

When the old lady saw the aunt blocking the door, her face fell instantly, and then she shouted to the door

"Hey, here we come"

After He Yuzhu heard the old lady's voice, he stopped looking at the aunt, took Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked into the room.

"grandmother"

He Yuzhu walked to the old lady and let go of Lou Xiao'e's hand, squatting down in front of the old lady.

"My dear grandson, have you registered?"

The old lady looked at He Yuzhu eagerly

"Okay, grandma, look"

He Yuzhu took out the marriage certificate from his pocket and handed it to the old lady, then turned to look at Lou Xiaoe next to him

"Ezi, where's your share?"

"Give"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lou Xiaoe also handed her marriage certificate to the old lady.

"Good good..."

The old lady looked at the two pieces of paper in her hand, her face couldn't help being excited. She threw her crutches aside and held the marriage certificates of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e in each hand.

Marriage in this era was very simple. There were no photos, just a piece of paper, the size of an A4 paper, with a five-pointed star on the top and five-star red flags on the left and right. The marriage certificate gave a solemn and solemn atmosphere to the times.

The lace on the left and right sides are made of wheat ears, cotton, sunflowers, corn, rice, and fruits intertwined with each other. The two mandarin ducks in the middle of the bottom lace are guarded by lotus flowers and lotus leaves on the left and right sides.

In the middle of the text, there are three big red characters "marriage certificate" and further down are the names, gender and ages of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e.

"Grandma, don't get excited"

He Yuzhu raised his hand and held the old lady's hand and said

"Grandma is not excited, grandma is happy"

There were tears in the eyes of the old lady

"Grandma, drink some water"

Lou Xiao'e next to her was afraid that something would happen if the old lady got too excited, so she picked up the teapot on the table and handed it to the old lady's mouth.

"Grandma won't drink, Ezi, you have to live a good life with Zhu Zhu from now on."

The old lady raised her head and looked at Lou Xiao'e and said

"Grandma, don't worry, I will live a good life with Zhuzi. You will always be nice. Zhuzi and I will still be filial to you."

After Lou Xiao'e heard what the old lady said, she put down her tea cup and said to the old lady

"Old lady, Zhuzi and Ezi are also back. If nothing happens, I will go back first."

The aunt who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, let's go back."

The old lady turned to look at the aunt next to her and said, she could see that the aunt was also awkward here. He Yuzhu didn't look at her again since he came in.

The aunt moved her mouth, glanced at He Yuzhu, sighed, turned and left the old lady's room, and returned to her own room.

"Zhuzi, don't worry about Auntie"

After the eldest mother left, the old lady said to He Yuzhu

"Grandma, I know"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded to the old lady, agreeing that it would be better not to tell the old lady some things, so as not to worry her.

"Okay, Ezi, pack your things today and move into Zhuzhu's house."

The old lady turned to look at Lou Xiao'e and said

"Yeah, grandma, I'll go clean it up right now."

Lou Xiao'e said with a slightly red face.

"Yeah, let's go"

The old lady waved to Lou Xiao'e

Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything else. She turned around and walked into her room and started to pack up. There weren't many things, just a change of clothes and the box of dowry.

"Grandma, Ezi will finish cleaning up later. Come with us and eat at my place today."

He Yuzhu looked at the old lady and said

"Okay, today is a good day for you and Ezi. Grandma listens to you."

It didn't take long for Lou Xiao'e to pack her things. He Yuzhu was carrying the old lady on his back. Lou Xiao'e took her own things and came to He Yuzhu's room.

After letting the old lady sit down, He Yuzhu started burning the kang, and soon the room became warm.

Then He Yuzhu made a bowl of malted milk for the old lady and Lou Xiaoe, and he started to work.

An hour later, the meal was ready

He Yuzhu gave the old lady a tube bone, and then gave Lou Xiao'e another one.

"Zhuzi, have you gone to Ezi's house to talk?"

The old lady picked up the tube bone and took a bite and said

"Not yet. Grandma, we are in a hurry to come back, so we still have time to go. Let's go in the afternoon."

He Yuzhu said and glanced at Lou Xiao'e

“It’s good that you haven’t forgotten”

The old lady continued to chew on the tube bone. Well, it was pretty bad!
