Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

In the afternoon, Xiao Weiguo rode his 28-meter bicycle out of the factory and went straight home to pick up Qin Jingru.

The two are about to get married, and the family still needs to buy a lot of things.

Compound

Perhaps because of last night’s divine song, every household was unusually quiet.

After entering the central courtyard, Xiao Weiguo glanced at the Jia family and saw that the door of old Mrs. Yu's house was open. From time to time, low voices could be heard from the house, but the voices did not sound like Jia Dongxu's.

But Xiao Weiguo didn't want to be associated with bad luck as he had to buy things for a wedding today, so he simply ignored her.

"Jingru, what are you doing here?"

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw Qin Jingru carrying a large pile of luggage into Aunt Li's house.

When Qin Jingru saw Xiao Weiguo coming, she hurriedly put down her luggage and came out to greet him.

"Brother Weiguo, you're back. My sister thinks it's not good to live in our house all the time, so she rented a side room in Aunt Li's house. I'm helping her clean up now."

Xiao Weiguo nodded silently, knowing that Qin Huairu did this for his own good. It would not sound good to say that his eldest aunt had lived with his younger sister and brother-in-law for a long time.

However, I didn't expect that Aunt Li could lend me a room. Although Aunt Li and Jia Zhang have never gotten along, I guess the money was well spent.

Otherwise, who would risk falling out with Jia Zhang every day to take in Qin Huairu?

Although the headphone room is not big, it is an excellent place for Qin Huairu to stay.

"Huai Ru, you are so polite. This money is really too much. I am embarrassed to accept it!"

"Oh Aunt Li, you have helped me a lot. Now you are the only one in the whole compound who is willing to help me except my sister's family. I can't thank you enough. This little money is nothing."

"But, oops..."

Aunt Li took the money reluctantly, and Xiao Weiguo entered the house upon hearing the sound.

"Head Xiao, you are back. I am moving out of your house today. I can't let you live in Xu Damao's house every day. Fortunately, Aunt Li helped me rent the house."

Aunt Li clapped her hands and laughed a few times, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Xiao Weiguo took out a piece of pork belly the size of tofu from his bag. In fact, the bag was just a cover and he took it out from the space.

Aunt Li's eyes lit up instantly, and even Qin Huairu was stunned, but she felt more at ease.

"Aunt Li, thank you for helping our family through this difficult time. Otherwise, we would have been forced into a dead end by the Jia family."

Xiao Weiguo praised Aunt Li to the sky with his usual method. Faced with the premium pork belly, Aunt Li kept rubbing her hands, hesitating whether to take it or not.

"Chief Xiao, this is too expensive. I can't take it. Huairu has already paid me for the room. I can't take more. That would be greedy."

Xiao Weiguo smiled and stuffed the meat into Aunt Li's hand. "Aunt Li, this is a little gift from Jingru and me. Please keep it. My sister and her mother will live here in the future and I'll have to trouble you to take care of them."

"Oh well!"

Aunt Li was smiling more happily than during Chinese New Year. She took the pork belly and quickly took it home. This thing is so precious!

When Qin Huairu came to her, although she was also concerned about the eldest master and Jia Zhang, Xiao Weiguo was now the section chief, the highest official in the hospital, so she had to adapt to the situation.

Well, a rare piece of pork belly is delivered to your door.

"I have to do this to defend the country. You and Jingru are getting married soon. I really don't want to drag you down and affect your reputation."

Qin Huairu said this firmly, and Xiao Weiguo waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. "Sister, you can actually wait a few more days. As long as the divorce certificate comes out, you can settle down. You don't have to worry about not having a house or a job."

Qin Huairu's eyes widened and she excitedly hugged Xiao Weiguo's arm, "Really? Can I really settle down in the city?"

Xiao Weiguo nodded in agreement, and Qin Huairu let go, feeling relieved.

Qin Huairu happily took out a small notebook and handed it over, "Look what this is?"

"It was done so quickly?"

At this time, Qin Jingru also walked in, "Brother Weiguo, my sister is amazing. She ran around for a whole morning and got the divorce certificate. I heard that Director Wang from the street was a big help."

Xiao Weiguo smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go visit them later, and I'll go and get settled tomorrow."

"Hey. Good!"

After helping Qin Huairu pack up, Xiao Weiguo took Qin Jingru to the department store.

"Jingru, what do you think of this red dress? It will definitely look beautiful on you."

In the clothing area, Xiao Weiguo fell in love with a red dress at first sight. Qin Jingru was secretly delighted. As long as she had a place in his heart, she would be able to sit firmly in the seat of the throne and become Mrs. Xiao.

“But isn’t the color too bright?”

"What does it matter? You are the protagonist in our wedding, so of course the bride has to be beautiful."

"I want this suit!"

“This outfit…”

God!

Xiao Weiguo was about to explode.

Lou Xiao'e was also on the verge of collapse. Why was she so unlucky that she would run into this scumbag every time she came here to shop?

"Miss, I was the one who said it first this time. First come, first served. Don't try to snatch it from me!"

Lou Xiao'e pouted a little unhappy, looked Qin Jingru up and down, then looked at her own deflated breasts, and quickly wrapped herself in her coat.

"Hmph, I'll give in! But this dress shouldn't be cheap. I hope you can afford it and make the girl happy."

After saying that, Lou Xiao'e turned around and left, and a big bubble floated over. Wow, it seems that Lou Xiao'e's marriage to the Siheyuan courtyard is a foregone conclusion.

It’s a pity that the coward Xu Damao has been kicked to pieces. I’m afraid he is only good-looking but useless.

They are all poor people!

"Please help me find out who he is. Why do I always run into him? It ruins my fun."

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e did not forget to turn around and glance at Xiao Weiguo, only to see that he had already paid for the clothes and put them in his pocket, which made her even angrier.

"Don't worry, miss. I'll give you news in the morning."

Qin Jingru was so happy holding the new clothes. This wedding dress was even more beautiful than she had dreamed of.

Then the two of them swept through the department store, buying phonographs, gramophones, ladies' bicycles, and anything else that could be used at home.

Finally, they chartered three mule carts to transport the things back to the courtyard.

Xiao Weiguo calculated the time and just as the mule cart stopped at the gate of the yard, the first group of people who were agile had just returned home from get off work.

The courtyard was suddenly in an uproar, even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

"Oh my god, Weiguo, you two are so extravagant, buying so many things at once, oh my God!"

"Section Chief Xiao is very wealthy and generous!"

"Jingru is so lucky. Alas, if you compare yourself to others, you will die. If you compare things to others, you will throw them away!"

……

"Everyone, Jingru and I are getting married the day after tomorrow, Saturday. Everyone come and support us and drink in the wedding wine!"

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Weiguo extended an invitation, and every household applauded.

"We must attend Section Chief Xiao's wedding. That's great. We can have a feast again."

"I don't know if we'll just feed the kids this time or if we'll also..."

After the farce at the last banquet, everyone was envious of the food, but they didn’t know what tricks Xiao Weiguo was using and were afraid that they would say something wrong and not get to eat.

"Everyone in the hospital can come to the banquet this time, but I only welcome those who sincerely wish me well. If anyone dares to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo's eyes swept over Jia Zhangshi. Old Mrs. Yu hummed something inaudible, then turned and left.
