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

Both families were satisfied with the arrangement, so progress was naturally not slow.

Half a month later, the two families finally met.

At the gate of Fengze Garden, the Zhou family arrived early, and He Yuzhu also arrived early, but not as early as the Zhou family.

"Uncle, aunt, sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time.

" He Yuzhu smiled and stretched out his hand.

“We came early and there is still plenty of time.

"Mother Zhou looked very dignified and spoke first.

However, her eyes were sharp, and she instantly glanced at him and Wenli: “This is my wife Wenli, an elementary school teacher.

"Uncle, aunt, my sister-in-law will still need you two to take care of her in the future.

" Wen Li also greeted.

"We're a family, you're welcome.

Let's go in!" Zhou's mother called out, and Zhou Yi and He Yushui remained silent, following behind and exchanging eye contact.

They chose a private room, and after entering, He Yuzhu immediately ordered the dishes to be served. They were all ordered by him in advance and the payment had already been made.

"How can we let you spend money?" Zhou's mother smiled and said, "We will just call you Zhuzi.

"Okay, you can call me Zhuzi.

"Then, He Yuzhu asked the waiter to serve the wine, and he stood up to pour wine for the two of them.

Zhou's father is relatively introverted but appears calm. Zhou Yi once mentioned that he is a criminal policeman.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhou's mother said, "Zhu Zi, your dowry is too generous.

“Not much, I talked to Zhou Yi, this has nothing to do with your family.

The eldest brother is like a father. I only have one younger sister, so naturally I want to give her the best if conditions permit.

"Brother..." He Yushui couldn't help but sigh.

“Just come back often to visit.

"After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he turned to Zhou's mother and said, "Auntie, I have agreed to the marriage. Let's set a date.

"Don't rush during the Chinese New Year. You should understand Zhou Yi's work situation. Once the date is set, report to his unit to avoid affecting his work.

"He Yuzhu reminded.

Zhou's mother nodded in agreement: "Indeed, their work is sometimes delayed, Zhuzi, don't worry, I will go to their police station to set a date.

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words.

I am here..."

The two of them quickly finalized all matters, including the selection of chefs and even the menus for each table. The head chef was of course Nan Yi.

“This person owes me a favor, so I will definitely not charge him for helping me. We can share the delicious food together, and I will let my apprentice help him.

"He Yuzhu said: "I will prepare the ingredients, and I can buy the materials needed for these dishes. In addition, I will go to Tianjin again in advance.

“Seafood is delicious, but it can easily cause diarrhea, so we only cook marine fish and do not serve other ingredients to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort, which is no small matter.

"Mother Zhou agreed: "You understand this aspect, so let's do as you say. As for your father..."

"We went to see if he was willing to come back to attend Yudian's wedding before he got married, but we were not sure. After all, we hadn't seen him for more than ten years, and we didn't know much about his situation.

"He Yuzhu added: "But he keeps sending money back, which shows that he has Yudian in his heart.

"As a man, I don't have to worry about these things, after all, I'm already prepared to give.

"Father Zhou then agreed: "Well, your idea is right.

Mother Zhou glared at him, while He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Uncle is right. If we don't think about it this way, I really can't imagine how we will live.

"People always have to grow up. I haven't spoiled Yudian all the time. She can do the housework, and I have taught her how to cook. You don't have to feel bad about asking her to help.

"How could that be? I particularly like the dishes cooked by Yudian. After all, I am from Sichuan too!" Zhou's mother smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.

He Yuzhu suddenly realized that Zhou's mother was from Sichuan. This explained why she must have been a hot girl when she was young.

In the end, both hosts and guests were happy and decided on a date. They didn’t care whether it was an auspicious day or not, they just decided on the preparations and time, and soon the young couple would start a new family.

They agreed to go see the house next Sunday.

He Yushui has full confidence in his elder brother's aesthetics and designs, and He Yuzhu is also willing to help.

Zhou Yi had no right to speak and could only listen quietly.

The new house is actually not far from Nanluoguxiang. After all, Zhou Yi works in a nearby police station. However, the house does not belong to the police station, but is the property of a subordinate unit.

He Yuzhu followed Zhou Yi and He Yushui to the new house and met many people Zhou Yi was familiar with and greeted them.

Most of the buildings built in the early days were tube-shaped buildings imitating the ** style, but now they have been greatly improved.

The living experience in each tube building varies.

The layout of this house is that the stairs lead up to the upper floors, each floor has an external corridor, and there are two households on each floor.

There are four small-sized units on each floor, but due to adjustments in police force, only one unit is designed on each floor.

After opening the door, the kitchen is on the left, the bathroom is on the right, the living room is forward, and there is a bedroom on each side.

He Yuzhu nodded in praise, saying that this apartment was good because there was no common area and all the practical space was very substantial, about 60 to 70 square meters.

“Not bad, although the bedroom is small, I don’t use it much, but the living room is quite spacious.

" He Yuzhu commented.

Zhou Yi felt a little more relaxed. He had been to He Yuzhu's house for dinner and had seen the decoration of the He family, which was indeed quite exquisite.

"Brother, how do you think we should arrange it?" He Yushui asked.

“The changes here are minor, mainly a matter of furniture layout.

"He Yuzhu suggested: "You can customize some and ask a craftsman to make them according to your size, which will be more suitable.

“You can paint the interior walls half-high with green paint and then scrape on white latex paint.

He Yuzhu touched the wall and looked at the heating system. This building has heating and uses gas. These are facilities that only became popular later.

There is only a bed and a wardrobe in your bedroom. Let me design the wardrobe.

"He Yuzhu walked into the bedroom and suggested, "The head of the bed can face the window so that you can enjoy the sunshine during the day.

“The wardrobe opposite the bed is close to the wall and reaches the ceiling, so dust won’t accumulate on it and you don’t have to clean it often. You can just put your things in the wardrobe.

"He went on to say.

“You can hang clothes and pants on top, and set up drawers below to store items like bedding.

“He also proposed a design that combined the dressing table with the wardrobe to save space, arguing that there was no need for other unnecessary furniture in the bedroom.

He Yushui thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Then let's design it more beautiful.

“Don’t worry about this, but you need to find an experienced master to make it.

I will arrange this and make sure it looks great for you.

“He Yuzhu has a wide network of contacts, and the workers he hired were all paid well.

Highly paid craftsmen are master craftsmen whose skills are trustworthy and can meet his needs.

Nowadays, most furniture is made of solid wood and then painted later. He Yuzhu plans to customize modular furniture according to the furniture style of later generations, but there is a lack of fixings in modern times, so this requires the master craftsmen to use their brains.

"The living room is easy to deal with. Put a set of sofas in it and place furniture by the window. The dining table can be foldable and then unfolded when dining.

“The layout of the living room is relatively simple, requiring only two or five storage cabinets, and the decoration above is left to them.

"The other bedroom is naturally prepared for the child. First make a crib and use it after the child is born.

“After He Yuzhu made a rough plan, they left. After all, the building itself didn’t require much attention, and the main thing was the placement of the furniture.

He Yuzhu acted quickly and found a familiar master to measure the dimensions and draw a preliminary sketch.

The master understood his design intention at a glance.

"Master He, your design is really good!" The master praised his idea, "There are special places to hang jackets, coats, and pants, and even underwear and socks are taken into consideration.

"Do you think it can be achieved?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile. This set of furniture needs to be disassembled before assembly.

"It's a small matter, don't worry.

The master didn't mind at all, "All the furniture, including the kitchen cabinets, will be completed within half a month."

“Okay, but when you’re done you can just leave it outside to dry, and we’ll assemble it after the smell has dissipated.

He Yuzhu added, “Let’s make an appointment to move in in a month.”

"No problem, do as you say.

“That’s it, it’s settled.

So, He Yushui started to get busy preparing for her wedding and bought new bedding, clothes and shoes.

The bedding was custom-made by Wen Li and He Yushui at Qianmen Street. It was made of bright red satin and embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes.

As for clothing, they chose Lenin suits, which were gray in color.

He Yushui already has quite a few clothes, including sweaters, trousers, etc. She plans to re-knit some of them and prepare a few for Zhou Yi.

I noticed that Zhou Yi didn't have a sweater and only wore a white shirt and a cotton coat in winter, but he had a military coat.

He Yushui looked at her extra clothes and decided to take them apart, and the two of them started weaving them again together.

She took Zhou Yi and took a bunch of sweaters and trousers to Qianmen Street to find someone to help knit them.

Zhou Yi suggested somewhat embarrassedly: "Rainwater, how about forgetting it?"

"These are all your clothes!" He Yushui glared at him. "Why distinguish between yours and mine now? Besides, my brother helps me knit new clothes every year, and some of them have hardly been worn.

"Why don't we take these apart now and reweave them, this will save space, otherwise the closet won't be able to hold so many clothes.

"

“Your brother is so kind to you.

" Zhou Yi said with a little emotion, "But this kind of wool is not so easy to get!"

"When he was weaving mats, people would always give him coupons, all kinds of coupons.

"He Yushui explained proudly, "Okay, don't waste time. There are special people who can help weave the quilts where I make them.

"From now on, you don't have to wear a coat in the fall, and you don't have to dress so bulky in the winter. Just take off your military coat when you go indoors.

"I'll make you a sweetheart neckline, because you have a dress code..."

He Yushui talked incessantly, and the two soon arrived at Qianmen Street, where there was a Xueru Silk Shop that made bedding, clothes, and even knitted sweaters. It had a very comprehensive business.

“Sister Rainwater is here again.

"A beautiful lady came up with a bright smile, "Hey, is this your fiancé?"

"Tsk tsk, what a perfect match.

" Chen Xueru praised again and again.

He Yushui was not shy and stepped forward to say hello: "Sister Chen, this is my boyfriend Zhou Yi. He brought a sweater and pants to be re-knitted. Please measure the size again.

"No problem!" Chen Xueru immediately called someone over to remeasure their sizes, because this was not a coat or underwear, so precise measurements were required.

(When Chen Xueru saw that they were all women’s sweaters and pants, she joked, “Is Yu Shui feeling sorry for your loved one?”)

"No way!" He Yushui seemed a little shy at this time, "Too many, the wardrobe in the new house can't hold them all.

"How can you not let it go, Xiao Zhou? You have to treat our Yu Shui well!" Chen Xueru spoke very measuredly. After all, running this silk shop is not an easy task. Although it is a cooperative management now, her voice is still solid.

"Don't worry, big sister, she has the final say on all matters at home.

" Zhou Yi smiled shyly. He was wearing a police uniform, and Chen Xueru did not mean to look down on him.

You know, he's a policeman!

Such deterrent power should not be underestimated. Coupled with his height of over 1.8 meters and standing together with He Yushui, they are undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence on the street.

Then they started discussing style.

He Yushui has a good aesthetic sense. After all, He Yuzhu makes new clothes for her every year. Although the styles of the coats are similar, the materials and designs are different.

For example, high collar, round collar, sweetheart collar, etc., the bright colors are re-woven for He Yushui, and the dark tones are left for Zhou Yi.

This gave them four different styles each.

Considering Zhou Yi's height, the wool consumption is relatively high, so the wool needed for autumn should be light and thin, while the wool needed for winter should be warm.

"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem with the time.

"Chen Xueru issued an order and promised: "All the work will be completed within one month, so you can prepare for the wedding with peace of mind.

"Thank you, Sister Chen. We'll be leaving first.

"He Yushui happily took Zhou Yi's arm and left.

The store manager came over and asked, "Xue Ru, who is that girl from?"

“So many sweaters?”

“I don’t know, but they came here with my sister-in-law before and made two sets of bedding and new clothes.

"Chen Xueru shook her head and said, "It was all paid for by her sister-in-law. It can be seen that her family is well off.

“This kind of wool is not easy to get, not just because of the family’s good financial situation.

" the store manager exclaimed.

"Don't be envious, that girl is a college graduate and works as a technician in a textile factory, you are very lucky young man.

" Chen Xueru was filled with emotion.

She herself was married twice and divorced twice. The mother of the man she finally fell in love with did not approve of her, so she is still single.

Look at how happy other people are. Why can’t he meet the right person?

...

The wedding preparations were basically ready. After the furniture was moved in, He Yuzhu's radio and sewing machine were also moved over. He also bought a new bicycle and watch. There were only two things left to do.

One is to find Yi Zhonghai, and the other is to find He Daqing.

This matter was put aside for last, and He Yuzhu decided to go home on Sunday and went straight to Yi Zhonghai's door.

"Is the uncle home?" He Yuzhu knocked on the door outside. He knew Yi Zhonghai was at home, but he just asked out of politeness.
