Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Zhang Ran squatted down and gently took off the shoes on Sha Zhu's feet. When she looked up at Sha Zhu, when their eyes met, Sha Zhu couldn't help but reach out his hand, hold up Zhang Ran's pretty face, and then kissed her attractive lips without hesitation...

As the cold feeling on his lips came, Sha Zhu's whole body trembled violently, and the chaotic thoughts that originally filled his mind instantly dissipated. It was only at this moment that he gently put down Zhang Ran's delicate face.

Before this, Zhang Ran and Sha Zhu had only held hands at most, but the sudden kiss just now made her feel an unprecedented pleasure. She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Brother Zhu, is this something that only people in love can do? This feeling is so wonderful!"

After hearing Zhang Ran's words, Sha Zhu asked with a flattering face: "How is it, do you like this feeling? Is it good?" Zhang Ran blushed and replied in a low voice: "Well... not bad!" Looking at the playful and cute girl in front of him, Sha Zhu couldn't help but chuckle, and then said softly: "In that case, let's do it a few more times." Before he finished speaking, he leaned forward again, and his lips were tightly pressed against Zhang Ran's cherry mouth.

Just as the two were getting intimate in the room, suddenly, Zhang's mother called Zhang Ran from outside the room: "Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, come out and see what good things your mother bought for you!" This sudden change made Zhang Ran and Sha Zhu stand there in a daze, their bodies becoming extremely stiff. However, after all, Sha Zhu was experienced and his reaction speed was much faster than Zhang Ran. He hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, my mother-in-law is back!"

When Zhang's mother heard some strange noises in the house, she walked in. The distance from the living room to the inner room was less than five meters. When she opened the door, she saw her two daughters tidying up their clothes in disarray!

Zhang Ran saw Zhang's mother standing still and stomped his feet, "Mom, why didn't you knock when you came in?"

Shazhu asked directly with a question mark face: "Knock on the door, are you serious?"

At this time, Zhang's mother said coldly, "Pack up, everyone come out!"

The two of them tidied themselves up and stood silently in front of Zhang's mother.

But there was nothing Zhang's mother could say!

After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "You are not married yet, aren't you ashamed?"

Zhang Ran said unyieldingly, "Mom, who told you to come in without knocking?"

"It's my home, and I'm knocking on the door. What door am I knocking on?" Zhang's mother said angrily.

Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Ran who was about to refute, and quickly pulled her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

"Zhu Zi, when do you plan to bring Xiao Ran to your place?" Mother Zhang looked at the honest man in front of her and asked with anticipation in her eyes.

"Mom, you can't wait to marry me off!" Xiao Ran responded coquettishly.

"Oh, child, how can you talk like that! Girls have to get married sooner or later, isn't it good to settle down earlier? Besides, I'm not in a hurry to marry you off, I just think that Shazhu is a good kid and worthy of entrusting your life to." Zhang's mother explained with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I get it, Mom! Please stop nagging me. My ears are almost getting calluses." Xiao Ran said impatiently.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu on the side quickly interrupted and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I've already prepared everything. I'll just wait for Xiao Ran's certificate to come out, and then I can take her over right away."

After hearing Sha Zhu's words, Zhang Ran and her mother fell silent. After all, they had been dependent on each other since childhood. Now that their daughter was getting married, even though the two families lived not far from each other, her daughter would definitely come home less often in the future. This reality made Zhang's mother feel a little disappointed, and Xiao Ran was also reluctant to leave.

After a while, Zhang's mother slowly broke the silence: "Well, in that case, I won't keep you for dinner today. I will go to get the certificate tomorrow, and you can ask for leave and go with Xiaoran to handle the procedures."

"Okay, Auntie, thank you for your help. I'll come pick up Xiao Ran tomorrow morning." Sha Zhu agreed without hesitation. After Zhang Ran sent He Yuzhu out, she slowly walked back into the house. When she saw Zhang's mother, tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhang Ran quickly walked forward and hugged Zhang's mother tightly, calling softly, "Mom..." His voice was slightly choked.

Zhang's mother also felt sad. She stroked her daughter's back and comforted her, "Okay, child, you have to learn to take care of yourself when you go to someone else's home, okay?" After that, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, venting their inner sorrow.

At the same time, Sha Zhu walked out of the Zhang family's gate and headed straight for Li Huaide's house. Sister Liu had mentioned introducing a teacher to him before, and now he needed to go and ask about the progress.

At this time, the matchmaker led the girl to Jia's house. Yan Jiefang stared at the girl behind the matchmaker and secretly commented in his heart: "Although she is not ugly, she is still a little far from being beautiful." The matchmaker stood in front of the Jia's house and shouted loudly: "Sister Jia, come out quickly, I have brought the girl!"

Hearing the shout, Jia Dongxu hurriedly opened the door and went out. He was originally full of expectations for this first blind date, but at this moment, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, and his enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.

Jia Zhang also came out behind them. When she saw the two of them, she hurriedly welcomed them into the house.

The girl's name was Ma Lan. She was quite satisfied when she saw Jia Dongxu, but as soon as she entered the house, she felt that the family was as "poor" as the matchmaker had described.

Jia Zhang welcomed the two men into the house and slapped Jia Dongxu on the back.

Jia Dongxu saw his mother's warning look and knew what she meant. The fact that the girl didn't leave immediately after entering the house was magnanimous of her parents, and he had no right to be picky.

However, when he thought that if Yi Zhonghai supported him with 300 yuan, he would also be able to find a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but feel a little angry towards Yi Zhonghai.

After everyone entered the house, Jia Zhang asked Dongxu to pour water for everyone. The matchmaker then made an excuse that he had something to do with Aunt Jia and gave the house to the two of them.

"How's it going, Aunt Jia? I've brought the girl here. Do you agree?"

Jia Zhang quickly replied, "Of course I agree. If I don't agree to such a good girl, I would be a fool."

The matchmaker also nodded with satisfaction. It was not just the matchmaker’s commission, the key success rate was also the key factor in the matchmaker’s reputation.

However, with a scream from inside the house, the two men rushed into the house.

But Jia Dongxu was holding Ma Lan, who seemed to be frightened. When he saw the two people enter the house, he quickly let go.

Jia Zhang asked, "What's going on, Dongxu?"

"A bug fell from the roof and scared Xiaolan," Jia Dongxu replied.

The matchmaker went over and took Malan's hand and said, "Oh, now it's time to call Xiaolan. Does our Xiaolan agree?" Malan lowered her head and said nothing.

"Okay, although there was a small incident today, but we have met. I will take Xiaolan back first. It will be difficult to explain to others if it is too late. I will pass on the message to you later."

"Look, now that you're here, why not eat before you leave!" Jia Zhang hurriedly advised.

"Haha, I'm going to have a good meal at your house soon, so remember this meal."

After sending the two people away, Jia Zhang asked her son for his opinion.

"Dongxu, doesn't this look too ordinary? How about I look for another one for you?"

"Mom, I think Comrade Ma Lan is pretty good. She earns more than 20 yuan a month working in a hardware factory! This is a great opportunity, why are you still hesitating? I am just an apprentice now, and she is a formal employee..."

Jia Zhang sighed as she looked at her useless son, but she found the current situation acceptable.

I'm a widow with a son. If my son wasn't good-looking, the Ma family might not agree.

"Dongxu, do you really not care about Ma Lan's appearance? She came for your looks. You are the most handsome guy in our whole alley. Mom wants to find you someone similar..."

It would be a lie to say that he didn't care, but Jia Dongxu really didn't want to find someone from the countryside.

The good girls in the city don't look down on his family at all. A widowed mother raised him. Now if he can marry a working girl, it will be a great thing for the Jia family. Now that the Ma family doesn't despise his family's poverty, Jia Dongxu decided not to be picky anymore. What's the use of being pretty these days if it can't be eaten. Filling your stomach is the most important thing.

Yan Jiefang saw the two matchmakers walking away and heard the exclamation in the yard. He thought the plan had succeeded and felt quite smug.

As soon as I got home, I saw Yan Fugui squatting by the door fiddling with the flowers and plants, so I quickly walked up to him and said, "Dad, people in this yard are getting married one after another, when are you going to help me find one?" Yan Fugui glanced at his son, and muttered to himself, "Doesn't this kid know the situation at home? Then he responded slowly, "If you want to count on your father to find one for you, then wait another two years. After all, you are only 18 years old now, why are you so anxious?"

"Dad, everyone in this yard is either married or dating. Even Xu Damao's mother just said that she would find a marriage for him. Liu Guangqi is also having a hot relationship with his girlfriend. Now I'm the only one left alone in the whole yard!" I grumbled with a feeling of grievance.

"So what? You know our family's financial situation. It's not easy for me to support you brothers and sisters. Besides, didn't Sha Zhu bring his own wife back home? If you have the ability, why don't you go out for a walk too!" Yan Fugui sighed helplessly.

"Then Dad, please give me some pocket money. I can't go out empty-handed." I asked my father shamelessly.

"Look at me, your father. Do I look like money? If I do, just sell me off." Yan Fugui retorted unhappily.

"What should I do? Am I just going to sit there and do nothing?" I asked with a frown.

Yan Fugui said helplessly, "Alright, alright, let's see how much Shazhu makes a month. If it's more, I'll arrange a blind date for you right now, but I have to keep a record of everything you take from me."

"Okay, okay, you remember this." Yan Jiefang had never seen anyone so stingy.

"By the way, Jiefang, you can also do some odd jobs, so you can have more money."

"How much does Hu Huo Matchbox earn? The street only gives him that much every week. He can't even earn a dollar a week. Besides, all the jobs are given to those in need. Our family is not qualified."

"Okay, Dad will think of a way to deal with this."

A group of aunties watched the matchmaker lead the people away and went home one after another. There was no more excitement to watch.

The aunt went to the old lady and said, "Old lady, I saw the blind date of the Jia family coming over just now. She looks like she is from the city!"

"Oh, Jia Dongxu is good-looking, there will always be someone willing to follow him," the old lady said lightly.

"But you really let Shazhu take care of you in your old age. Wouldn't it be nice for us to live together?"

"Little Yi's wife, stop thinking about my pension money. Shazhu has grown up in front of me. I know he is a real boy and doesn't have many tricks. Shazhu will never treat me, an old lady, badly in the future."

"Look at what you are saying. When have I ever thought about your retirement money?"

"If you hadn't seen my money box in the first two years, would you have brought food and drink to me, an old lady? But it doesn't matter before that. You can't bring these things with you when you are born, and you can't take them with you when you die. I'll give them to you after I die. But now I've found someone to take care of me in my old age, so you better stop being so petty."
