The farce ended, the threat was nipped in the bud, and it also helped Xu Damao get married, so his efforts were not in vain.

By then, Lou Xiao'e can be pocketed with peace of mind. As for what to do if she marries someone else, Hong Guan really doesn't care. Even without Lou Xiao'e, he won't be short of money.

Back home, He Yushui took a piece of pork ribs as a snack, which was enough. Girls develop early, and now He Yushui, who is tall and thin, is about to become skinny.

When He Yushui was told what had just happened, the little girl was speechless. What her brother had done was too immoral. How could he ruin someone else's blind date?

Hong Guan naturally saw through her thoughts and thought, you are blind. You didn't see that later, Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu, and Jia Zhangshi, one after another, came forward to break up your brother's marriage.

Xu Damao tried all the methods to intercept, but if the deaf old lady hadn't intervened to trick Lou Xiao'e, Sha Zhu would have been wiped out.

Otherwise, even though Shazhu is sloppy, he shouldn’t be thirty years old and still not be able to find a wife!

Nowadays, ticket sellers, drivers, postmen, childcare workers, barbers, waiters, salesmen, and cooks, known as the eight people with iron rice bowls, really don't have to worry about finding a partner.

"Okay, don't think about it. Anyway, your brother didn't succeed, but he and Xu Damao have a grudge against each other. It's better to have too much debt than to be burdened. Let him bear it himself!

You pick up the leftovers from lunch, and we'll take them to the backyard together."

He Yushui's face turned bitter, "Ah, if you don't leave some for us to eat!"

Hong Guan gave her a slap on the head. "You little greedy cat, don't you have enough food on the table? When did I ever shortchange you? When doing things as a person, you can't be too greedy. Do you know which debt is the hardest to repay? It's the debt of favor."

He Yushui nodded as if she understood, and the two of them went to the kitchen together. Soon they were carrying four plates to the backyard. Jia Zhang was standing at the door and saw that Hong Guan was carrying all meat dishes. Thinking of the aroma from before, her mouth was watering.

Seeing that Hong Guan ignored her, she spat on the ground and went into the house cursing.

When I arrived at the backyard, I knocked on the door, entered the house, put the things on the table, and saw Xu Fengling with tears in her eyes. I didn't know what was going on.

"Uncle Xu, I'll bring the rest to you. Don't be disgusted. My cooking skills are pretty good. Come and have a taste!"

Before Old Xu could say anything, Xu Fengling ran over and took Hong Guan's hand, "Brother Guan, my brother, you said that he forgot about us after he got married and asked me and my dad to move out, and he wouldn't even give us a few days' grace period.

We said we would give up the main house and let Dad and I live in the small house for a few days and move out when we found a good house, but he didn't agree!"

Hong Guan looked at Xu Damao, who was ashamed. He was probably taught a lesson by Old Xu. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if this happened to them. They raised their son to such an age, but he turned against them so quickly.

"Hong Guan, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. You can just keep the things. Why did you bring them over?"

"Well, we are all neighbors, why are you being so polite? We ate a lot just now, and the remaining ones are just right for you and Fengling to try!"

"That's fine, thank you so much, and thank you for your help. If you hadn't discovered that Sha Zhu was doing something bad, this marriage might have been ruined!"

I really don't dare to take credit for this. Look at how tough the Sun sisters are. Even if there's another Sha Zhu, it still won't be enough!

After a few polite words, he left. I originally wanted to ask if he wanted my help with the meat for the wedding, but then I thought better of it. Xu Damao and his son are local tyrants in the countryside.

Besides, his mother is still working as a servant in the Lou family, so it won't be a problem to get it tomorrow, let alone the day after tomorrow.

There is also the house. Lao Xu is unhappy with Xu Damao's attitude, but it's not that he really has no place to live. As for why Lou Zhenhua is called Lou Bancheng, you will know if you think about it!

I came to the steel mill in the afternoon and stayed there until after get off work, but I didn't see Sister Sun come back. I guess she went home with her cousin. They are going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow. It's such a big thing, but Sun Xiuying's agreement was a bit too frivolous!

At night, I entered the dense forest copy and killed four rabbits, a wild boar, a deer, and two wolves, and harvested some spoils. With this copy, I no longer have to worry about eating meat.

After that, I played three rounds of blackjack with Pan Jinlian, then returned to the courtyard and had a good sleep. This life, except for the absence of electronic products, is as happy as a god!

The next morning, Xu Damao came to the door and said, "Brother Guan, can you lend me your bicycle? I'm going to pick up Xiuying. It's more prestigious to have a bicycle."

"Okay, let's ride on." Just as he finished speaking, Xu Damao was about to leave with the bike, but was pulled back by Hong Guan. "Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet. When you and Uncle Xu go to the countryside in the future, please keep an eye out for me to see if there are any live wild rabbits or something. Get me a few. My friend wants to raise one!"

Xu Damao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll bring it back to you next time I go to the countryside. It's just a matter of showing a few more movies. It's not a big deal!"

Hong Guan shook his head and said, "You may be happy now, but you will cry after you get married. Sun Xiuying's temper is just like that of a little gangster. She is not someone you can easily get along with!"

When they arrived at the medical department of the steel mill, they soon saw Sister Sun. After giving her a strange look, Sister Sun clenched her fist and gestured to Hong Guan, "What are you looking at? Have you never been beaten before?"

Pulling Sister Sun to one side, he began to speak, "Haha, I didn't expect this. Sister Sun is really as capable as any man!"

"Go, stop talking nonsense. I came from that era. With my looks, I must learn some self-defense skills!"

"That's right! Sister Sun, keep this and give it to your cousin."

Sister Sun glanced at Hong Guan, but still accepted it. "What is this? Xiuying is getting married soon, so she probably won't need it anymore!"

"It's not for abortion, it's a knockout drug. On the wedding day, I'll force Xu Damao to drink it. If he doesn't pass out, I'll have Xiuying put this in the wine. When we drink the wine together, Xu Damao will definitely sleep through the night!"

Sister Sun gave Hong Guan a thumbs up and said, "Hong Guan, you are the one with the most clever ideas. Thank you. Don't worry, there are many good girls in the compound. When you want to get married, tell me and I will definitely introduce you to a good one!"

Hong Guan agreed on the surface, but actually shook his head secretly. Can you marry a girl from the compound casually? For a little Karami with no backing, it would be a blessing for him to be the head of the medical department.

I have no intention of climbing up the career ladder. I worked as a salesperson for a few years in my previous life, but I'm not so arrogant as to think I can make it in the system. It would be better for me to wait until the time comes to run away to Hong Kong and live a good life.

Once the country opens up and you have accumulated capital, wouldn't it be nice to come back and contribute to national construction under the guise of a patriotic businessman?

"Okay, thank you Sister Sun. When I want to get married, I will definitely ask for it."

After a day of sunbathing, I felt a little stronger, so I went home from get off work. It was the same routine, I first cleared the dungeon, then played with Pan Jinlian, and the night passed like this.

The next day, I went to the steel mill to report for duty, and then returned to the courtyard with Sister Sun to prepare for the wedding. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yan Bugui moving a square table with a book on it, ready to record the gift list, and the third aunt and Yan's family were assisting.

"Hey, Uncle Three, this is a good job!"

"Haha, of course I have to. No one can do the bookkeeping job well except me! How much?"

Hong Guan smiled, and he and Sister Sun each took out five dollars. At that time, this was already a lot of money, almost the same as five hundred to one thousand in later generations!

"It's you. Xu Damao made friends with you for a reason. You are so open-minded! Who is this?"

"I'm the bride's cousin, Sun Xiuqin!"

"Okay, I've got it all in mind. Jie Cheng, what are you thinking about? Go grab some sunflower seeds for Comrade Hong Guan and Comrade Sun Xiuqin!"

Yan Jiecheng, this idiot, stared at Sister Sun intently when he saw her. He is the same type as Xu Damao, he can't even walk when he sees a beautiful woman!

When Yan Bugui called him, he finally reacted and took out mixed peanuts and melon seeds from the bag beside the table and gave a handful to Hong Guan and Sister Sun respectively.

When I walked to the middle yard, I saw that the tables were set up. Then I went to the back yard and saw that the stoves from the neighbors' houses had been taken out and placed in the yard. Several chefs were busy working.

Sister Sun came to Hong Guan and said, "Xu Damao has something at home. This is the chef of Fengze Garden. Although he is not the head chef, his cooking skills are pretty good."

Hong Guan chuckled and said, "It's not Xu Damao's ability. His mother is a servant in Lou Bancheng's family. She has been there for many years. She still has some face!"

"Lou Bancheng? Is he the shareholder of our steel mill?"

"Of course not. In Beiping City, where else can there be a Louban City?"

"I told you, Lou Bancheng is a good guy. It is said that when our troops entered Peking, Lou Bancheng sent a lot of supplies. He is a patriotic businessman!"

Hong Guan smiled and said nothing about this title. People who have been doing business for generations, or from large families, all place their bets separately, just like Zhuge Liang's three brothers, who all have bets from Wei, Shu, and Wu.

It was only because we won in the end that we increased our investment and transformed ourselves into patriotic businessmen. That’s all.

As for why his son went to Hong Kong, that is debatable.

The two were talking and were about to go back to the house to chat when they saw Xu Damao coming out in a brand new Zhongshan suit, new leather shoes, his hair polished, and a big red flower on his chest, looking very happy.

"Hey, Brother Guan, cousin, you came at the right time. The bride has arrived. Come with me to the door to pick her up!"

"I won't go, you go with Sister Sun!"

Not long after returning home, I heard the sound of firecrackers at the door. Through the window, I saw Xu Damao staggering with the bride on his back. Behind him followed more than a dozen bicycles, carrying dowry blankets, all in bright red, which looked quite festive.

Think about it now, you can get married with three turns and one ring, or twenty-four legs. If you are too poor, you can get married with a thermos or a mandarin duck basin. The gift is only five or ten yuan.

The woman's side would also give some dowry. It was not like later, when people talked about gender equality, but when it came to getting married, the man had to have a house and a car, and also give a considerable gift. As for the dowry, it was just something to think about.

Just after the wedding procession went to the backyard, Hong Guan saw the location of the moon gate in the middle courtyard and saw Sha Zhu following, dressed almost like a cook, with shifty eyes looking around as if he wanted to do something bad.

Seeing this scene, Hong Guan followed silently. Sure enough, Sha Zhu walked up to the cooks, chatted with them, and called the two older ones "uncle master" and "uncle master".

His eyes kept glancing at the dishes in the pot and the stewed meat. It was obvious that he had no good intentions!

Damn it, this Lao Liu, for the sake of his emotional value, was already a bad person, but he never thought of tampering with the food!

Also, the woman’s family and friends are coming here today. They’re people from the compound. You still want to cause trouble. Are you tired of living?

At this time, Sister Sun suddenly came to Hong Guan and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Hong Guan pouted and said, "Sister Sun, isn't that Sha Zhu who was looking for trouble the day before yesterday? He was obviously not invited to help in the kitchen today, but he was hanging out with the chef and not doing any work. His eyes were lurking, staring at the food in the pot. It seems like he has nothing good to say!"

Sister Sun's face changed. "Are you saying this kid is going to cause trouble?"

"I think it's possible. Putting some rat droppings or croton in the dish won't be fatal, but it will be embarrassing and make people look bad!"

Sister Sun gnashed her teeth and said, "It seems that the lesson I gave him the day before yesterday was not enough. Just wait, I will find someone to deal with him!"

"Sister Sun, don't move too much, and try not to alarm other people, so as to avoid a mess!"

"Don't worry, I know it!"

Sha Zhu kept hanging around and had no chance to make a move. The master chef saw that he was getting in the way and pushed him aside.

Two people appeared beside Sha Zhu, put their hands on his waist and applied a little force, and Sha Zhu's face changed.

They held Sha Zhu on both sides and led him to the front yard. Sister Sun followed behind and soon arrived at the front yard.

When they arrived at Sha Zhu's house, the two men let go of Shen Ji's hands. Sha Zhu said in panic, "What are you going to do? Even if you are powerful, you can't bully people like this!"

Sister Sun stepped forward and said, "You are so bold, you even want to cause trouble at my cousin's wedding. It seems that the lesson last time was not enough. I want to see if you really only care about food and not punishment!"

"Don't talk nonsense. I just saw my father and my master's colleagues. According to seniority, they are my uncles and senior brothers. I just went over to say hello!"

"Stop talking nonsense. We'll know if he wants to cause trouble if we search him! You two, go up and search him carefully to see if he has anything on him!"

Sha Zhu stepped back in panic, "I'm telling you, don't mess around. If you come any closer I'll shout!" She looked like a girl who had met the Japanese devils!

Sister Sun didn't care about this matter. After a glance, the two of them started fighting. Just as Sha Zhu was about to shout, one of them attacked and broke his jaw.

I pressed Shazhu down on the kang and soon found a dozen small paper packages in his pockets. I opened them one by one and smelled them. "Sister, it's croton powder!"

Sister Sun sneered, "What else do you want to say?"

Sha Zhu's jaw was reattached, and he swallowed his saliva, "What does this mean? I'm just constipated recently. I bought some croton powder for myself. Don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

"Haha, okay, constipation, right? No problem, you two, tie him up and feed him all the croton powder to prevent him from getting constipated. We are all comrades, so we must cure his illness!"

"No, no, this much croton powder, you're going to kill me!"

"Don't worry, you won't die. I'm a nurse, I know what to do. I'm just helping you clear your stomach!"

Sha Zhu wanted to scream again, but his jaw was broken again. Facing the masters in the army, even Hong Guan might not be able to match him. His mediocre skills of throwing turtle punches were nothing!
