The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 219, chain reaction

After the neighbors in the courtyard helped Shazhu and his wife tidy up their wedding room, the sky gradually dimmed and everyone dispersed.

The first man and his wife returned home after delivering wedding gifts and were having dinner at the moment.

Dinner was as simple as ever, a plate of fried cabbage and pickled cucumbers.

The first man and his wife each ate steamed buns, pretending to be worried, and ate quietly without saying a word the whole time.

While eating, the uncle was thinking about the affairs of Shazhu and his wife, and how to continue to maintain his relationship with Shazhu in the future.

After thinking for a long time, he felt like he had no idea, because he didn't understand Peng Feiyan's temperament at all, and he didn't know whether it was easy to deceive or not.

Silly Zhu had never been married before, so it was easy to fool him. From time to time, he could give him some small favors and take ideological and political classes to tie his heart. After all, the righteousness of his elders sometimes works quite well.

But now that he is married, if he wants to tie up Silly Zhu again, he will definitely not be able to get around his wife. It seems that he still has to find a way to get closer to Peng Feiyan.

Thinking of this, the old man had some idea and relaxed, so he wanted to drink two glasses to relieve his hangover addiction, and then start thinking again.

"Honey, help me get the bottle of powder I bought two days ago."

"Hmph, take it yourself."

The eldest mother snorted, ignored him, and went to eat by herself. She was still angry because of what Xu Damao said at noon.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but have a headache when he saw his wife's state.

"Why aren't you done yet? Didn't I tell you that it was that boy Xu Damao who was making mischief? That boy has been a bad guy since he was a child. It's not like you don't know that. Do you believe what he says?"

The eldest mother said angrily: "There is no smoke without fire. If you don't have that intention, will he come to tease you when he is full?"

"I didn't know that. I saw that he was old enough to get married, so I kindly introduced him to the street office, but he turned around and made fun of me. How old am I, and you still don't trust me?"

The first uncle was angry for a while, wishing he could catch Xu Damao and give him a hard time so that he could see how powerful he was.

Today he just encouraged Xu Damao to make trouble for Silly Zhu. He didn't know whether it would work or not, he was just trying.

Who would have thought that Xu Damao took the wrong medicine and choked him in a weird way when he came back, making him depressed to this day.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was talking so much, the aunt slowly calmed down based on her understanding of her husband. She didn't hold on to him any more. She just muttered a few words and got up to get him a drink.

Sanbai brought it over, Yi Zhonghai poured himself a full glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

The hot drink flowed down his throat, immediately shaking his spirits.

After taking two deep breaths, Yi Zhonghai turned to ask: "Honey, you just saw Shazhu's wife, how did you feel?"

"It's pretty good, he looks good, and his body and bones look good, but I don't know what his temperament is like." The eldest mother didn't know what he meant, so she just told the truth.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and sighed melancholy: "Yes, I just don't know what my temperament is like, and I don't know whether I am filial or not."

After hearing his words, the aunt fell silent and roughly understood what he meant. It was nothing more than a matter of providing for the elderly.

Although Jia Dongxu is their first choice for old-age care, Silly Zhu is also an alternative. After so many years of training, they still have some expectations.

"Yanzi, she must be a good girl. She looks very polite. I think the old lady is quite satisfied." The eldest mother was not sure.

"I hope that in the future you can visit the couple more often when you have time, chat about home affairs, and help out with anything. Choose multiple paths, and we can't give up on Silly Zhu's side."

"Well, I see."

In the backyard, the second uncle’s house.

The second uncle's family was also having dinner together.

On the table are potatoes stewed with cabbage, large salted radish, and a plate of pimple skin. The staple food is steamed steamed buns with noodles and steamed sweet potatoes.

Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi were holding two-faced steamed buns in one hand and potato stewed cabbage in the other, eating slowly.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu ate pickles and sweet potatoes, keeping silent throughout the whole process and pretending to be transparent.

Although the food quality at the second uncle's house is not as good as before due to the impact of ration reduction and material shortages, the staple food is still relatively sufficient. There are a few pieces of lard residue in the potato stewed cabbage on the table, and there is also some oil and water.

The second aunt rummaged through the dish of stewed cabbage, picked out a piece of lard residue, gave it to the second uncle, and casually chatted about Sha Zhu's wedding today.

"Master, what do you think this idiot thinks? He doesn't want to find a good city girl, but he wants to marry a rural girl. Do you think he is crazy? This rural girl has no quota. He Can you feed him?"

The second uncle casually picked up the lard residue and threw it into his mouth. He took another sip of tea and said, "What do you know? Silly Zhu is a cook. He eats for free in the factory at noon every day. There is no need to pay or issue a ticket." , you can save more than 20 meals a month.

In addition, their cooks can occasionally bring back some lunch boxes, and they can earn a lot of extra money and money by hosting banquets for others. It is no problem to support a rural girl. "

When the second aunt heard this, she was filled with envy: "Oh... this cook is really popular. He can eat and drink wherever he goes. Now with the famine, I don't know how many people would die from envy of his work."

The second uncle said disdainfully: "There is nothing to envy, Silly Zhu will be promoted to level 7 no matter how popular he is. No matter how high the factory is, he has no right to decide.

How much does a level 7 cook cost? It's only forty-two yuan. With some subsidies, it's forty-six or seven yuan. How can he compare with our blacksmiths? Our blacksmiths can rise all the way to level eight, and our food ration is much higher than him. "

Hearing this, the second aunt nodded in agreement and said with a proud smile: "That's right, the head of our family and the eldest brother are both blacksmiths, and the food ration is more than ten or twenty kilograms more than theirs, so they definitely can't compare with us. "

Then, the second aunt glanced at her eldest son Liu Guangqi who was immersed in eating. She seemed to have thought of something, so she said, "By the way, head of the house, when it comes to Sha Zhu's marriage, our eldest son has also reached an age. Do you think you can find something for him?" A girl looking at each other?"

When the second uncle heard the second aunt's suggestion, he pondered for a moment and thought it was a good idea.

In the morning, he and Director Wang made a promise that they would invite a few young men to go on a blind date at the neighborhood committee. After discussing it with the first and third uncles for a long time, they still had no idea. If Liu Guangqi's marriage was not arranged as soon as possible, he might get into trouble.

Rural girls are easy to marry but not easy to raise. He didn't want to think that in the end he would have to drag his family to work for Director Wang.

After thinking for a moment, the second uncle asked Liu Guangqi: "Boss, what do you think? Why don't you let your mother find a matchmaker to look at your relationship and settle the marriage as soon as possible?"

Liu Guangqi was very moved when he heard that he was going to get a wife for him.

He is now twenty years old, and he is at the age where he misses girls. He is also a little envious that Silly Zhu can marry a beautiful wife.

In addition, living at home was not comfortable, and Liu Haizhong would beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu violently at every turn, which made them frightened.

He had always wanted to find a chance to move out and live alone with his parents, but since he didn't have a room and got married, he could only endure it for the time being.

The old Liu family lived in two rooms in the east wing of the backyard, one for Liu Haizhong and his wife, and one for the three brothers. The house was not well-off.

If I could find a girl to marry, wouldn't I have an excuse to move out then?

The more Liu Guangqi thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible, so he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements."

Seeing their son nodding, Liu Haizhong and his wife were overjoyed. They had long wanted to hold a grandson. Since their son agreed, they would find a way to implement it as soon as possible. The sooner the better.

I don’t know if it is difficult for others to find a wife, but the old Liu family has a seventh-level worker and a second-level worker. With such good conditions, it is very easy to find a city girl, and there is no need to be as conceited as Silly Zhu. Lower your status to find a rural girl.

The more Liu Haizhong and his wife thought about it, the more excited they became. They didn’t even bother to eat. They dropped their bowls and chopsticks and started discussing which alley and house had the best girls.
