Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"My dear, please take a seat. Our home is simple and the place is too small. I hope you won't laugh at me."

As soon as they entered the room, He Daqing greeted them warmly and asked Sha Zhu to pour tea.

Since arriving at the courtyard, Li Fugui had been just observing and didn't say much, but now he finally spoke.

"My dear, you are too modest. Your house is the main house of the compound. I think it is one of the best in the compound. I think it is very good."

At this time, Sha Zhu came over with two cups of tea. After hearing what his father-in-law said, he immediately added with a smile.

"Dad, you're right. Not only that, but our house is private property. It's the first one in the yard."

After he finished speaking, the fool put two cups of tea on the table and said, "Dad, Xiuxiu, have a cup of tea first to relieve your fatigue."

When Li Xiuxiu saw the teacup that was brought to her, she felt a little embarrassed. Then she looked at her father-in-law who was sitting next to her and quickly pushed the teacup over to her.

"Dad, this cup of tea is for you. Now that Zhuzi and I have obtained our marriage certificate, we are no longer guests and there is no need to be so polite. If there is anything going on at home in the future, just let me know."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law quickly got into the role, He Daqing was very satisfied.

This shows that she is thoughtful in doing things.

Maybe in the near future, this silly boy of mine will be well disciplined by his wife.

Thinking of this, He Daqing did not refuse and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Xiu Xiu, we don't have so many rules in our family. You two can live your life as you wish. If Zhuzi bullies you, tell me and I will beat him to death with my rubber shoes."

When Sha Zhu heard what his father said, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Dad, look at what you said? Am I that kind of person? Today, I'm going to make it clear in front of you two. If I bully Xiuxiu in the future, you don't have to do anything. I'll dig a hole and bury myself."

"Hahaha!"

Li Fugui couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing what his son-in-law said.

Based on his observation today, although this son-in-law is a bit of a chatterbox, he also has an innocent side, so what he said should not be false.

In this case, the promise made during the blind date should be fulfilled today.

"Zhu Zi, please close the door first. I have something to say so that no one outside can hear it."

After hearing what his father-in-law said, Sha Zhu was a little curious, but he didn't ask any more questions and just went to close the door obediently.

He Daqing was somewhat puzzled by his relative's actions, but he was a smart man, so he just watched and would never ask any further questions.

Sha Zhu closed the door and stood back beside the table. Li Fugui first motioned for him to sit down.

Then he took out a piece of red cloth from the inner pocket of his shirt and handed it to Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, please accept the gift I promised you last time."

Sha Zhu looked at the red cloth handed to him and didn't take it seriously at all.

"Dad, I told you last time that I don't want any red envelopes, why do you still remember it? I can't accept this, you keep it."

Seeing that his son-in-law didn't want it, Li Fugui also got stubborn and forced the thing into Sha Zhu's hands.

"Just accept it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Since you call me dad, you have to listen to me. This is the rule. Open it and see if you like it or not."

"Hehehe!" Sha Zhu smiled innocently and could only accept it helplessly.

Originally he wanted to save some money for his father-in-law, but now it seems that he obviously doesn't appreciate it, so he can only accept it with shame.

Then, Sha Zhu opened the red cloth bag and wanted to see what was inside.

You won’t know until you see it. You’ll be shocked when you see it. There are two small yellow croakers wrapped in the red cloth.

Such a big move scared Sha Zhu silly on the spot.

Of course, He Daqing was not much better. It’s not that he had never seen small yellow croakers. After all, he had also seen many large yellow croakers.

Just thinking about what happened back then made him tremble with fear.

"My dear relatives, this gift is too valuable. We cannot accept it."

"Take it! I only have one daughter like this, and I'll give it to her in the future anyway. If you have a hard time, you can sell some of it, but be careful."

Li Fugui said it very lightly. After he finished speaking, he took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to his daughter.

"Xiu Xiu, this is the dowry that Dad prepared. You know, Dad is so poor that these are all he has left. He doesn't dare to sell them, so just use them to pay for the dowry!"

Li Xiuxiu knew what was in the bag, but in order to make her husband's family pay attention to her, she decided to pour out the contents of the bag and show them to others.

The gurgling sounds made the He family father and son so frightened that their hearts trembled. In an instant, six small yellow croakers and a lot of long shrimp appeared on the table.

"This...?" He Daqing was completely panicked.

If people get to know about this, they will inevitably be blamed.

The expression of Shazhu next to him was not much better. He thought to himself, it turns out that this is how you can eat gigolo.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Li Xiuxiu put the things away and handed them to Sha Zhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'll leave these things to you for safekeeping. I won't be able to use them."

“Xiu Xiu, you…this…?” When Sha Zhu saw the bag his wife handed over to him, he didn’t know whether to keep it or not.

At this time, He Daqing was really a little scared. There were so many people in the yard and they were all talking. What was his silly son still hesitating about?

"Zhu Zi, take it first. We'll find a place to bury it later. Remember, from today on, you must give all your wages to your wife for safekeeping. She will be the head of the family from now on."

Look, this is the charm of money. He Daqing immediately handed in his pledge of allegiance.

When Sha Zhu heard his father say this, he didn't resist at all and nodded happily.

Then Sha Zhu went to cook, Li Xiuxiu also went to help, and the two old guys He Daqing and Li Fugui were not idle either.

They both knew that the gold was hot, so they secretly dug a deep pit in the house and buried the gold.

After burying the gold and disguising the surface, He Daqing finally felt relieved, and the two old men sat down to drink tea again.

"My dear, don't blame me for making a fuss. I had a lot of these big guys before, but they were all confiscated. I even ended up in jail..."

Now that the two families have opened up, He Daqing has nothing to hide and brings up the unpleasant events of the past.

"I understand, I understand. My dear relative, don't forget who I am. If I hadn't been smart, I probably wouldn't be much better than you."

"..."

The two old guys now seem to have a mutual understanding and like-minded attitude, and they keep talking about the glory of their ancestors...

Soon, Sha Zhu announced that dinner was ready, and Li Xiuxiu had already started to perform her duties as the hostess, busying herself around.

Because we were having a dinner party in the evening, we didn't plan to cook many dishes for lunch. We just made four dishes and one soup, which was enough for a few people.

However, today, because it was cooked at home, the seasonings were complete and Li Fugui was able to truly taste his son-in-law's cooking skills, so he naturally did not hesitate to praise him.

After dinner, He Daqing took out some money and tickets and asked his son and daughter-in-law to go out and see if there was anything else they needed to buy.
