Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Several people at the table knew more or less that Zhao Shanhe's wife ran a silk shop. Although some of them had seen Chen Xueru, they really didn't know that she was so rich.

But since they said today was a wedding banquet, there was no need to offend the host. Besides, these dishes were really hard to find, so everyone stopped saying those spoiling words and started toasting each other.

Director Wang thought that Zhao Shanhe invited Li Huaide because he had a good relationship with the leader, but when she saw Zhang Xueyi coming to the wedding banquet, she had some thoughts in her mind. It was said that this deputy director of the DC District Bureau was about to be promoted. This made her think that since Zhao Shanhe had this kind of connection, she should keep in touch with him in the future.

In the officialdom, it's a matter of you helping me and I helping you. If she could really establish a relationship with this 40-year-old branch director, then Zhao Shanhe might be her benefactor.

As for why Yao De was able to attend the wedding banquet, it was purely because of his good relationship with Zhao Shanhe's father. Otherwise, the people at this table would at least be department-level cadres, and a section chief like him would really not be good enough.

After the drinking party was over, Zhao Shanhe saw the guests off. When he turned around to pay the bill, he found that Chen Xueru had already paid. Zhao Shanhe just smiled and said nothing. As a couple, it didn't matter who paid the bill. However, he still asked a question.

"Wife, how much did this meal cost?"

Chen Xueru replied to Zhao Shanhe, holding the packed leftovers and half a bottle of Fenjiu in her hand.

"I thought the Sijiucheng Restaurant was very expensive, but after doing the math I realized it wasn't much. Three bottles of Fenjiu cost less than 3 yuan."

Zhao Shanhe reached out and took the wine and food and said while holding them.

"Eating here is actually a matter of status. Who can come here without that little money? It's a pity that it will be difficult to come here in the future. This time, I have to ask Director Li for help."

Chen Xueru said as she walked out of the restaurant holding Zhao Shanhe's arm.

"It's okay. If you like it, we can buy the ingredients ourselves and ask the restaurant's chef to cook a meal at home. I can still afford this amount of money."

Zhao Shanhe could only twitch his lips after hearing this. Is this what people say? This meal cost Lao Yi two and a half months' salary.

But he also asked with some curiosity.

"Wife, how much money do you have? Why do I feel like a gigolo?"

"You want to know my family background? I won't tell you. Just ask me for money when you need it. I'll support you in the future, okay?"

Zhao Shanhe... Why does it sound like a line from a play? It's just the opposite.

After leaving the Sijiucheng Hotel, Zhao Shanhe took Chen Xueru and Hou Kui to a nearby department store and bought a lot of the newly launched White Rabbit milk candies (which were also a gift for the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China). Although they needed candy coupons and the price was not cheap, it was nothing for the two of them with their wealth.

In the evening, Zhao Shanhe helped Chen Xueru fix the door panel of the shop, then took her and Hou Kui back to the courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they began to distribute wedding candies to every household, two candies per person. If you think it's too little, you can buy some yourself.

Yan Bugui looked at the Big White Rabbit in his hand. Although he was very greedy, he couldn't bear to eat it.

"Shanhe, is this the candy that the department store just released? I heard it's very expensive. You really are willing to spend money on it."

"Third uncle, I am getting married. I am just pretending to be rich just this once. You should give it a try. Don't let it go on for too long and then it will go bad."

Judging from Old Yan's attitude, Zhao Shanhe guessed that the candy would end up in either the pigeon market or the black market. He would definitely not eat it. After all, no matter how delicious it was, it was not as good as having a full meal.

Seeing that Yan Jie Di was about to cry, he told Hou Kui to give her one secretly. The 8-year-old Hou Kui had just entered the yard and had no friends, so the 6-year-old Jie Di was just right as a playmate.

The residents in the front yard were relatively polite. After receiving the candies, they all said some words of blessing. But it was different in the middle yard. Even Chen Xueru felt like she had fallen into a den of thieves.

Especially Jia Zhang, she wanted to grab the White Rabbit when she saw it, but luckily Zhao Shanhe didn't indulge her. They gave two to each of them, so why should they give you a few more? Is it because you look like a gas tank?

Sha Zhu was even more disgusting. He almost drooled when he saw Chen Xueru. Zhao Shanhe gave him four candies and turned away. He was so careless that he forgot the tradition of the He family.

After chatting with Xu Damao and his wife in the backyard for a while, Lou Xiao'e was extremely happy to know that Chen Xueru had married into the courtyard. She was very uncomfortable after marrying into the Xu family. It was not her fault. How could a lady who ate white flour buns every day and complained that they were not as delicious as cakes chat with a group of people who felt that corn bread was sweet?

This time it’s okay. With Chen Xueru accompanying her, she won’t feel bored anymore.

Lou Xiao'e had already been bewitched by the kind-hearted appearance of the deaf old lady, and this time she tried to fool Chen Xueru with the same trick. Unfortunately, Boss Chen had seen a lot of things, and he sent the old lady away with just a few words.

When the two came out of the old lady's room, Chen Xueru grabbed Zhao Shanhe and whispered.

"Shanhe, this old lady doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. Why does she speak strangely?"

Zhao Shanhe replied with an evil smile.

"You're right to feel weird. This old lady is not an easy person to deal with. You should stay as far away from her as possible. And by the way, try to persuade Lou Xiao'e not to be cheated."

By the time they had distributed the wedding candies, it was already dark. Zhao Shanhe took out the leftovers he had packed and heated them up. After the three of them had a meal together, they arranged for Hou Kui to sleep in the second bedroom. It is said that the wedding night only comes once in two lifetimes, and so many readers have been waiting to see it.

Chen Xueru is not a novice and has skilled techniques. Although Zhao Shanhe is a novice, he has a dragon on his chest. This is the first time that the Zuantianhou has a chance to display his talents. The two of them practice martial arts until dawn.

It was not until the sky outside the window began to turn pale that Chen Xueru leaned against Zhao Shanhe with trembling legs and asked.

"Shanhe, is this really your first time fighting?"

It is said that there is no land that can be plowed to death, only oxen that can be worked to death. Even with the strength of three pillars in his body, Zhao Shanhe still felt a little sore in his waist.

"Yes, this is really my first time. Why are you doubting me? How about we have another competition?"

Chen Xueru quickly withdrew her hand and thought to herself, "Don't do it again. I really can't bear it if you do it again."

"How could I doubt you? It's just that you are so gifted in this area that I can't handle it."

Zhao Shanhe chuckled strangely, holding a big white steamed bun in his hand, and said to Chen Xueru.

"You should get some sleep. We will continue our discussion in the evening. I have to get up and make breakfast for Hou Kui. He has to go to school today, which is Monday."

After settling Chen Xueru down, Zhao Shanhe rode his bike to send Hou Kui to school. Then he remembered that he had to change his school. The school near Daqianmen was about 10 miles away from Nanluoguxiang, which was really far.

He went to the third uncle's house and knocked on the door to talk to Old Yan about the matter. He then handed him the half bottle of Fenjiu that was left over from yesterday. Yan Bugui immediately patted his chest and guaranteed that Hou Kui would be able to report to the school within three days.

Seeing that Chen Xueru was still sleeping, Zhao Shanhe did not wake her up. He left some breakfast and rode his bike to the steel mill. According to the time, his reward from the National Games should have come.

This time he brought honor to the steel rolling mill. He wrote the song for the athletes' entrance, the song for the leaders and foreign guests' entrance, and the two marches used in the closing ceremony.

In addition, the second page of the People's Daily reported that he won the 100m and 200m championships, so he became a celebrity in the factory.
