Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

There is a pair of double wooden sofas under the window near the door, with a small coffee table in front.

Next to the door is the original window, and below it is a desk. The desk is not big, and there is a washbasin rack between it and the door.

These are all the furniture in He Yushui’s room. It is very convenient for one person to live in, as there are not many items. He Yuzhu also installed a small ceiling fan for her.

In about two years, there will be a boom in steel production, and these metal objects must be carefully protected at that time.

Fortunately, their factory is a steel rolling mill, and they probably won't assign individual tasks, otherwise daily necessities at home will be affected. He has prepared some spare parts in advance.

...

After sending Wenli back to Wen's house in the afternoon, her sister Wenhui quickly asked, "Wenli, how is their family?"

"There is one main room and one side room, don't you all know that?" Wen Li said with a smile, "But it has just been renovated. I think it's pretty good. The main room has been partitioned and divided into three rooms!"

“And the partitions are beautifully designed.

Wen's mother asked, "Have you seen her sister?"

"I saw him. Yu Shui is really tall. He is only thirteen years old and in junior high school, but he is almost as tall as me.

"But she's easy to get along with," Wenli said.

Wenxiu smiled and said, "Of course, you two have grown up!"

"I'm not a kid anymore!" Wen Li said unhappily, "I'll let Zhuzi buy the furniture, but there are so many people in their yard!"

...

Then, Wen Li excitedly recounted what she had seen and heard in the compound. Although He Yuzhu's previous description was not detailed enough, there were many people in the compound and they were all very cunning, otherwise He Yuzhu would not have been so shrewd.

It is not easy for a big boy to survive in such an environment with his younger sister without being bullied.

"If you marry him, you must listen to Zhuzi. There are many people with many opinions. Only by listening to him can you avoid being deceived.

"Father warned.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Wen Li continued, "Zhu Zi also said that if I stayed there for ten years, I would be completely transformed!"

"I think so!" Wen Hui agreed, "Our neighborhood is also a big compound, there are a lot of things going on, you can run into them whenever you go out, you can't avoid them even if you want to.

...

In the following days, He Yuzhu continued to purchase furniture, most of which were in a uniform color tone. He also specially selected furniture with legs, ensuring that they were at the same height from the ground for easy cleaning and aesthetics.

At the entrance of the living room, he also customized a set of wooden sofas and designed it according to his own preferences.

There is a coal stove placed against the wall at the innermost part of the living room, and the chimney goes upward through the air vents. In a courtyard house like this, every room has air vents, which are usually located high up.

These air holes are not small and their square design reflects the ingenuity of ancient architecture.

There are three ventilation holes above He Yuzhu's main room, and the aroma of cooking will float to the backyard.

After the partition was completed, each room had a ventilation hole, so a coal stove could be used indoors in winter. He customized screen windows so they can also be used in summer.

Two double sofas and two single sofas were customized, with a coffee table in the middle.

There is a shoe cabinet on one side of the door, and a clothes rack opposite it for hanging coats.

After everything was arranged, He Yuzhu was very satisfied. After all, he was just a chef, not a designer, and it was considered good to be able to achieve this level.

Of course, the times are a factor, and he doesn't want to be too unconventional.

He Yuzhu finally moved back to the old house. All the furniture was brand new. With the arrival of June, the weather gradually warmed up, and other neighbors were still renovating their homes.

Liu Haizhong’s home decoration is similar to that of He Yuzhu’s. After all, he is a senior technician and has a good income.

The same was true for the Xu family. Xu's father was smart and capable. As a projectionist, he received a generous monthly subsidy. When he went to the countryside, he would bring back a lot of agricultural products, ensuring that the family had a rich diet and did not spend much.

Although Xu's mother did not have a formal job, she helped out at Lou Bancheng's home and earned a considerable income.

Next came Jia Dongxu's family. Uncle Yan Bugui was still hesitating, but when he saw He Yuzhu bought furniture, he immediately came to check it out.

"Zhu Zi, your place is really nice!" He Yuzhu did not close the door, and Yan Bugui saw the sofa when he stood at the door, "But this sofa may not be practical in the future!"

"Uncle, I just want to be comfortable and beautiful!" He Yuzhu explained, "Besides, I won't have children so early after marriage.

"What do you mean?" Yan Bugui was a little puzzled, "Don't you want children after marriage?"

"It's not that I don't want to, I just don't want to do it so early, I plan to wait until I'm older.

"He Yuzhu planned to reveal this information first," I am only twenty years old, Wenli is also nineteen, we are still young.

“It’s too early to injure the child, so we’re going to wait a few years.

"He said.

“When we are both more mature, we will have another child and raise him/herself.

"He Yuzhu continued: "In the future, we will have at most three children.

"Hey, Zhuzi, you are really thoughtful!" Yan Bugui was surprised, "You are indeed young, and there are no elders at home to help you, so this decision is not a problem.

"I'm here to discuss something with you!" Yan Bugui knocked his head, "Zhu Zi, I want to clean it up too. Can you give me an estimate of the price?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, "You have two rooms in your house, so you don't need to tidy them up now, right?"

“You see, I have three children in my family. Although he is young, my eldest son, Jie Cheng, is almost of marriageable age.

"Yan Bugui is not idle, but has made a long-term plan after careful consideration. "Then we will have to use the back house.

"Five people will live in the wing room. If we don't think about it in advance, what will happen in the future?"

"And now is the time to take advantage of the situation, don't you think?"

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, you don't have to paint it, that's the most expensive, and you don't need such a big pillar.

“Forget about the double-glazed windows, which would probably only cost a few dozen bucks.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, "This is indeed not expensive. I don't want anything too high-end. I'll just use old furniture, plus the ones you don't want, that should be enough.

After saying that, he left in a hurry and went straight to the engineering team.

"Comrade Wenli, from today on, we are husband and wife.

"After He Yuzhu and Wen Li walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, He Yuzhu turned around and looked at Wen Li. It was already August.

He Yuzhu proposed to Wen Li after he finished tidying up the new house. Wen Li accepted the proposal after a little thought. For her, the future married life was full of freshness.

In the story of the golden wedding, she and Tong Zhi spent their wedding night in peace, which made her feel that marriage did not seem to have much meaning and was just lying in a bed.

Neither of them had received any pre-marital education, but the situation was completely different now.

"Don't bully me!" Wen Li's words made He Yuzhu laugh out loud. She was always teased by him, but He Yuzhu did not use any force and just did it in a joking way.

Although this woman deserves love, at least she should have lunch every day, rain or shine.

At school, Wen Li is the envy of all the boys; at the Wen family, she is urged to get married as soon as possible.

Because these days, He Yuzhu has won the recognition of everyone in the Wen family.

"I'll bully you tonight!" He Yuzhu whispered in Wen Li's ear, but Wen Li looked confused and just glared at him.

He Yuzhu took Wen Li's hand and said, "Let's go take pictures and go shopping.

The two started shopping. With their marriage certificate, they could buy many things, especially those that were in short supply.

He Yuzhu did not hold the wedding in the compound, but only planned to simply distribute sweets. However, he booked a banquet outside and invited the Wen family, Yan Bugui's family, Wen Li's colleagues and Teacher Li.

There was some discussion about this matter in the compound, but it had little impact. After all, He Yuzhu intentionally kept a distance from the people in the compound and was only close to Yan Bugui's family.

Therefore, a total of four banquet tables were set up. He Yuzhu and Wen Li toasted at each table, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

He Yushui was also very happy. She could play with Wenli, and the housework was no longer borne by her alone. She was naturally happy to have her sister-in-law to help her.

......

After the banquet, everyone went home. He Yuzhu's family and Yan Bugui's family entered the courtyard, parked their bicycles, and then distributed wedding candies door to door.

This is an essential step because Wenli is about to move in and everyone must get to know her.

No one commented much about the fact that He Yuzhu did not treat everyone to a meal.

Of course, some people will have grumbles in private.

Starting from the front house to the backyard, even Xu Damao's house was no exception.

At this moment, every household in the compound had different thoughts.

Yan Bugui's family was naturally happy because they received generous gifts: two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, a pound of sugar, and a pound of tea, which were generous gifts in that era.

Even with the introduction of a matchmaker, it is difficult to get so many things, and usually you can only receive a few dollars.

Yi Zhonghai felt a little regretful. He thought he had seized the opportunity, but now he realized that it was Yan Bugui who made the connection.

Liu Haizhong didn't think much about it, as He Yuzhu's affairs had nothing to do with him.

Xu Damao was filled with resentment and complained to his father at home: "Dad, I will be of marriageable age next year, can you help me find a partner?"

Father Xu glanced at him and said: "You can't even get into university with your grades. It would have been better for you to go to a technical secondary school.

After graduation, come and learn how to project movies from me first. When you have mastered the technique, I will help you apply for a job at a movie theater. You can also get a house then and our whole family can move in.

"I'll leave this house to you, and I'll find you a good wife later.

"Ah? How long will that take?" Xu Damao said gloomily, "But the wife has to be prettier than my silly brother Zhu's.

Father Xu looked at his son, shook his head and said nothing.

When choosing a wife, one has to consider her family background. He didn't know much about He Yuzhu's wife. He only knew that she was an elementary school teacher. He had no idea about her family background.

When the deaf old lady saw He Yuzhu and Wen Li, she smiled and praised them a few words, but didn't say much.

She did like He Yuzhu, but she stopped talking after He Daqing left because her future life would depend on Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

Yi Zhonghai is now more concerned about Jia Dongxu.

Peace soon returned to the compound.

...

When He Yuzhu and Wen Li returned home, it was already dark. He asked He Yushui to go back to his room, and then he and Wen Li boiled water to wash their faces.

The couple took off their clothes and went to bed. He Yuzhu asked, "Wife, did your mother-in-law teach you what to do on your wedding night?"

"No, what should we do?" Wen Li asked puzzledly.

Sure enough, this mother-in-law is not very reliable!

"Well, I'll teach you, just close your eyes.

He Yuzhu said with a smile, letting Wen Li close her eyes.

Wen Li was very obedient, but then she said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"

"Close your eyes and don't move, you will understand in a moment.

"He Yuzhu explained.

It seems that Wen Li knows nothing about the intimate matters between husband and wife, but this does not pose a problem for He Yuzhu!

Wen Li closed her eyes carefully and quietly felt everything that happened next.

Like the sound of a phoenix flute and the flowing light of a jade pot, fish and dragons rejoice all night long.

...

The next morning, He Yuzhu woke up and looked at Wen Li's pretty face beside him. He couldn't help but smile, then slowly got out of bed, put on his clothes and went out.
