Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

In the yard, several neighbors gathered together, whispering about Yang Chong and Yu Xiu.

"Did you see that? Yang Chong just went out again. No need to ask, he must have gone out to look for food. He has been alone all day and has no food to eat. Now there is one more person, let's see what he can give to others to eat."

"Yeah, this kid is a bit stupid. In this day and age, he is lucky to be able to avoid starvation, but he still goes to beg for food. Now, he is just going to starve."

"That's right. He doesn't have a penny in his pocket. Where can he get food? No one is willing to lend him money!"

……

As he was speaking, he looked up and saw Yang Chong coming back from outside carrying a big bulging bag.

Everyone in the yard suddenly widened their eyes in surprise, staring at the big bag on his shoulder.

Everyone was wondering why this guy came back so soon, and he was carrying a big bulging bag on his shoulder, and it was obvious that there were a lot of things in it.

Yang Chong didn't speak to anyone and went into his room carrying the bag.

As soon as he entered the house, he said, "Are you hungry? I went to buy some food and vegetables, and I'll cook now."

Just as he finished speaking, a bright and beautiful face suddenly came up to him: "Really? What did you buy? Let me see."

Yang Chong just untied the bag and was about to take the things out, but he was suddenly stunned after taking a look. He took a step back in surprise: "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"

The bright face was stunned for a moment, and suddenly chuckled: "I am Xiu'er, brother, don't you recognize me?"

Xiu'er? Yang Chong took a closer look and saw that she was still wearing the same dirty, tattered clothes. The difference was that Yu Xiu was unkempt and had a face full of black mud and dirt.

And now Yu Xiu's face has been washed clean, revealing a delicate and handsome face, a face so handsome that it makes people's heart beat fast.

If Yang Chong had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this was the dirty little beggar that people avoided just now.

Yu Xiu now is definitely someone that all men would love to get close to.

With this face, even Qin Huairu, the number one female in the hospital, would be inferior to her.

If I change my clothes, then...

Yang Chong couldn't help but be a little dazed. He stared at Yu Xiu in front of him for a long time without saying anything.

Yu Xiu felt a little shy when he looked at her, and blushed as she said, "Brother Chongzi, am I too ugly to scare you?"

Yang Chong came back to his senses and shook his head vigorously: "What's ugly about it? It's not ugly, it's beautiful."

Yu Xiu was very happy and asked again, "Are you willing to let me be your wife now?"

This sentence clearly means that Yang Chong did not agree to let her be his wife because he disliked her being dirty and ugly.

Yang Chong did not answer or deny, but stretched out his hand and rubbed her head twice: "If you wash your hair well and change into clean new clothes, you will be more beautiful."

As he said that, he started taking things out of his pocket.

Yu Xiu looked at him curiously, and when she saw Yang Chongxian take out a small bag of flour from his pocket, her eyes suddenly lit up and her face was filled with joy.

Because when Yang Chong went out just now, she didn't just wash her face, she also walked around the room a few times.

As a result, I found that the house was empty and really clean. There was no dust, no furniture, and even no food.

But now, seeing Yang Chong bringing back a small bag of flour, how could he not be surprised?

The surprise was yet to come. Yang Chong performed another magic trick and took out a small bag of rice, a dozen potatoes, two large cabbages, two large radishes, a few green onions, and some seasonings from his pocket.

What’s even more surprising is that Yang Chong actually took out a piece of pork in the end!

And the meat strips looked quite large, weighing perhaps about a pound.

Yu Xiu was so happy. It seemed that she would finally have a full meal today.

And there is also meat. You know, I haven’t eaten meat for several years.

Not only on the way to the old city and afterwards, but even when I was at home I hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

These days, it’s good enough to have something to eat, and only a few families can afford to eat meat.

"Brother, so many good things? This... must cost a lot of money, right?" Yu Xiu asked with surprise and anxiety.

Indeed, rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, all of which can be bought with just a few dollars.

Yang Chong smiled calmly: "Don't worry about it, just light a fire so that we can cook."

Then he deliberately asked, "Can you make a fire?"

"Of course! I cook all the meals at home when I'm at home." Yu Xiu said quickly.

"Okay, you light the fire and then boil water. I'll wash and cut the vegetables." Yang Chong rubbed Yu Xiu's head again and said, "By the way, boil some hot water for you to wash your hair and then take a bath."

Then he walked to the closet, took out a set of his own clothes and said, "I don't have any women's clothes here, so you can just wear my clothes for now, and I'll go out and get two feet of cloth to make you a set of clothes later."

Yu Xiu took the clothes, her eyes reddened: "Brother, you don't have to make them for me, I can wear anything, I'm happy to have a home to live in."

Yang Chong rubbed her head again: "Okay, get to work."

Yu Xiu nodded vigorously, put down the clothes in her hands, picked up some dry firewood from behind the door, and went to the small kitchen outside to make a fire.

She was not lying, she was really good at making fire, and soon the stove was lit. The firewood burned vigorously and soon a pot of hot water was heated.

Yang Chong went to Aunt Wang's house to borrow a large basin, poured half of it with hot water, and then brought a bucket of cold water to the side. Then he left the house, closed the door, and let Yu Xiu take a bath inside.

He also specifically told her to bolt the door from the inside.

He stood at the door, guarding it with concern.

Because there are so many people in the yard, there are all kinds of people.

He doesn't want others to see his wife taking a bath.

Originally, when Yu Xiu first said that she would be his wife if he took her in, Yang Chong did not agree.

The first is that I feel it is a bit of taking advantage of someone's misfortune, which is immoral.

The second reason was that Yu Xiu looked dirty at that time. Although he didn't hate her, he still couldn't accept her in his heart.

But just now, when he saw Yu Xiu after she washed her face for the first time, he took it for granted that she was his private property.

Absolutely no infringement is allowed.

It was already past five in the afternoon, time for the factory to get off work.

Several men who worked in the factory in the yard also came back in groups of three or five.

As soon as the men came back, they heard about the new things happening in the courtyard.

Immediately, someone with a curious mind came over to tease Yang Chong: "Hey, Chongzi, I heard that you picked up a beggar on the street. Is that true?"

"What are you thinking? You don't even have enough food to eat, and you still care about the beggars on the street?"

"Yes, hurry up and kick her out, or you'll starve to death yourself."

They were talking at once, but Yang Chong kept his head down and said nothing, with a smile on his face.

As they were talking, Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice Jia Dongxu came back from outside. They had heard a lot of people talking about this. As soon as they entered the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai came over and said, "Yang Chong, I heard that you brought a beggar back to our courtyard. Is that true?"

Yang Chong raised his head and asked, "What's wrong? Did you break the law?"
