Siheyuan started as an unlicensed knight and became a hero of justice

According to the old almanac, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in 1966 was the most suitable day for getting married during the Spring Festival. It was also the day to welcome the God of Wealth, so it could be said to be a day of double happiness.

Neighbors gave He Yushui gifts one after another. Some gave thermoses, some gave Chairman Mao badges, and the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong were more generous. Each of them gave a quilt.

For He Yuzhu's sake, Wu Zhen found a brand new red blanket at home.

Wu Zhen didn't know what material it was made of. Anyway, he could only tell that it was not made of wool, so he gave it away.

This moved He Yuzhu deeply, because Wu Zhen had no idea of ​​the value of blankets in that era. This blanket was not something that an ordinary family could afford.

Good blankets are usually exported to earn foreign exchange, and ordinary people cannot buy them even if they have money. A finely crafted red blanket like this one can only be bought at the Friendship Store in Beijing.

The Beijing Friendship Store was the only foreign trade store in the country at that time, and the goods sold there were all top-notch products used as gifts for foreign leaders and VIPs.

Therefore, in the eyes of the neighbors in the courtyard, Wu Zhen was really generous and gave enough face to He Yuzhu and He Yushui!

On the other hand, it also completely confirmed Wu Zhen's identity as the son of a high-ranking official.

Because not everyone is qualified to buy things at the Beijing Friendship Store in Donghuamen, ordinary people cannot enter no matter how rich they are.

Friendship Store has a slogan: "We want the best products on the market, and we must have the products that are lacking on the market!"

He Yushui earned a lot of face today. Her dowry included a bicycle, a brand new Butterfly sewing machine, and a bright red foreign trade blanket!

That’s right, the big red blanket given by Wu Zhen was directly regarded as a dowry, and it was placed in the most conspicuous place in the dowry together with the brand new Butterfly brand sewing machine.

In fact, whether it is this brand new Butterfly sewing machine or this high-end red blanket, they are all thanks to Wu Zhen.

Even He Yuzhu, who was accompanying him, and the neighbor representative, Uncle Yi Zhonghai, felt very proud of such a dowry.

Wu Zhen was also forced by He Yuzhu to attend He Yushui's wedding. He Yuzhu said that we are good brothers, and my sister, He Yuzhu, is also your sister, Wu Zhen!

He Yushui's mother-in-law, who was originally a bit snobbish, immediately became very enthusiastic when she saw the dowry.

She was originally worried about losing face in front of her relatives and friends, but now she finds that He Yushui's family is quite capable. The new sewing machine and the big red blanket from foreign trade have greatly helped her gain face.

After all, the man’s family is very rich. He has a bicycle, a watch and a radio, which account for three of the four major items.

He Yushui's mother-in-law meant that He Yushui should find a way to buy a sewing machine to complete the four major items, so that both parties would save face.

They would not let their relatives and friends talk behind their backs. After all, their family is one of the upper-class families in the capital.

This time, the dowry brought by the woman included a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a big red blanket from foreign trade, which made the mother-in-law overjoyed.

Now the two parties seemed to be well-matched, and the man also had enough face, making the neighbors who were watching the fun envious.

After all, this was the 1960s, and only a very small number of families could afford all four major items. Generally, owning two of them was already a very prestigious thing.

Not only did this family have everything, they even had two bicycles and a high-quality red blanket that was only sold in foreign trade stores. This also shows that they have a strong background and connections.

When it came time to get married, He Yushui discovered that the mother-in-law who had always looked down on her actually gave her a rare smile.

You know, she had always been against this marriage, and her words were always full of sarcasm, but today she suddenly changed her attitude.

In fact, this is normal. He Yushui's mother-in-law has always thought that He Yushui's marriage to her son might drag down her son, and might even use her family's resources to secretly subsidize her brother, so she never treats He Yushui well.

Judging from the dowry this time, the other party will not only not be a burden to my family, but also is quite capable. She will be able to get a new Butterfly brand sewing machine and a foreign trade-grade red blanket in a short period of time. It seems that I have underestimated their family.

At the wedding, He Yuzhu pulled Wu Zhen to sit at the main table, next to He Yushui.

Those leaders who came to congratulate him originally wanted to give him face and say a few words before leaving, but they ended up seeing Wu Zhen sitting at the main table.

So the leaders immediately walked to the main table politely and took the initiative to greet Wu Zhen.

Others thought that the leaders went to say hello to give face to the bride and groom's family, which also made the host family feel very proud.

He Yuzhu drank a little too much that night, and Wu Zhen just took a sip when the bride and groom toasted him, but no one dared to persuade him to drink.

At the end of the banquet, He Yuzhu got drunk for once, and Wu Zhen carried He Yuzhu back with one hand because he didn't want to carry this drunkard on his back!
