Siheyuan: Starting from the Police

Xu Guangfu looked at Zhang Feng with dissatisfaction, and went home to sleep with an unhappy face.

When I woke up, the rain had already prepared the meal.

After dinner, Xu Guangfu went out for a walk to help digest the food.

When I went out to the yard, I saw Yan Bugui happily escorting an old lady out of the yard.

Turning back and seeing Xu Guangfu, Yan Bugui greeted him warmly: "Xiao Xu, where are you going?"

"Oh, it's okay, I'll just take a stroll!"

"It's good to take a stroll, great! Haha." Yan Bugui nodded happily.

Xu Guangfu looked at the beaming Yan Bugui with some curiosity and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Ah? Xiao Xu, you figured it out? Jie Cheng found a temporary job, and today someone was asked to be a matchmaker for Jie Cheng in my family. Aren't I happy?"

"Is Third Master done? Is something good about to happen? Whose girl is this?" Xu Guangfu asked curiously.

After all, I have always been curious about how the Yan family was able to marry Yu Li, considering Yan Bugui's stingy character!

Yan Bugui's smile froze upon hearing this, and he spoke awkwardly, "Uh... hehe, not yet! It's just that Jie Cheng has taken a fancy to a girl, and he plans to ask a matchmaker to help him find a partner."

"Oh. Which girl does Brother Jie Cheng like?"

"She's from the food factory, Old Yu's daughter! Isn't Jie Cheng working there as a part-time worker? I saw him once, so I asked someone to ask about him."

Xu Guangfu nodded, and suddenly understood. So this is how they knew each other!

"That girl should be pretty good! Congratulations, Third Uncle! It looks like we'll be able to have a feast at Third Uncle's house soon!" Xu Guangfu said with a smile.

As a result, Yan Bugui's face turned a little unhappy when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "I'll borrow your good words!"

After saying that, he went home with a frown.

After returning home, Yan Bugui said nothing and lay down on the bed with a bitter face.

The third aunt saw that Yan Bugui looked unhappy, so she asked in surprise: "Old Yan, what's the matter? Why do you look so unhappy after going out?"

Yan Bugui sighed, "Ah... what do you think! If this means we are getting married, then we have to prepare everything in advance! We have to prepare cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, rice, flour, grain, oil, peanuts and melon seeds, and there is also the betrothal money and matchmaker money. This is going to cost me my life!"

My eyes were red as I spoke. I felt so sad! I have been frugal for so many years, but I have never spent so much!

A few years ago, I was awarded a bicycle ticket for being an excellent teacher, but I couldn't bear to buy a new bicycle! I went to a commission store and bought a second-hand one!

Now that he had to spend so much money, Yan Bugui felt unwell and could not help but wrap the quilt tightly around him.

In this world, only the quilt can give people a little warmth.

Two days later, the matchmaker brought good news.

The Yu family was willing to let the two young people meet.

Yan Bugui was delighted to hear the good news, but then he thought that this might be successful, and his face turned grim again.

Yan Bugui smiled stiffly at the matchmaker, "Thank you for your help, sister. Then let the two children meet each other at the weekend and settle this matter?"

The matchmaker nodded with a smile and prepared to go to the girl's house to report the news.

When leaving, Yan Bugui handed the matchmaker a palm-sized fish that he had caught at Shichahai Lake, "Sorry to bother you with this, big sister. It's just a small token of my appreciation!"

Seeing that the matchmaker looked unhappy, Yan Jiecheng sent her to the door and stuffed a dollar he had saved into her pocket.

The matchmaker then happily went to the girl's house.

On the weekend, Yan Jiecheng met Yu Li. Yan Bugui gnashed his back teeth and prepared four dishes and a large pot of fish soup.

The two sides met and were very happy.

When Yili left the Yan family with satisfaction, Yan Bugui's old face suddenly drooped.

Because Yu Li's family asked for a 20-yuan betrothal gift, the Yan family was in a big fuss.

Yan Bugui felt sorry for the money and said that the bride price was too expensive and he couldn't afford to marry this daughter-in-law!

Yan Jiecheng said that he was going to marry her and the money was not that much!

After arguing for a while, Yan Jiecheng finally said that he had borrowed it, and the situation quieted down.

Two days later, Yan Jiecheng brought the matchmaker to the Yu family to formally propose marriage.

Yan Jiecheng took the 5 yuan given by Yan Bugui, gritted his teeth and took out his own pocket money, carefully selected at the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought two bottles of Lianhua Bai.

Carrying two bottles of wine and twenty yuan as a betrothal gift, Yan Jiecheng went to Yu's house.

Two months later, Yan Jiecheng's wedding was approaching.

That night, Yan Bugui came to Xu Guangfu's house with a smug look on his face, carrying a "big fish" weighing about half a pound.

"Xiao Xu, Uncle Sanye had a great harvest today, so I brought you a fish to try!"

Xu Guangfu looked at the smiling Yan Bugui and couldn't help but feel curious. It's not common for a miser to be plucked out of his money!

"Uncle, please sit down! We have a good catch today!" Xu Guangfu looked at the fish in Yan Bugui's hand and said politely.

Yan Bugui put down the fish and sat down.

Xu Guangfu handed the fish to Yushui and asked her to put it in the kitchen, and poured tea for Yan Bugui, "Third Master is a rare guest, he doesn't usually come to visit us!"

Sitting aside, Xu Guangfu gave Yan Bugui a cigarette and spoke with a smile.

Yan Bugui was a little angry and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Xu, the third uncle came to ask you for something."

"Xie Cheng is getting married soon! I really have no other choice, so I thought of looking for you to exchange some tickets."

Xu Guangfu smiled when he heard this, and thought to himself, although this old man is a bit stingy, he is really good to the children!

It's a pity that this stingy and calculating nature was learned by the children, and now he is left with no one to rely on when he is old!

Xu Guangfu nodded in agreement and asked Yan Bugui: "What kind of tickets are you still short of, Third Master? I'll see how I can get them for you!"

Yan Bugui smiled upon hearing this, and said to Xu Guangfu gratefully, "I have also exchanged some for others in the past few months, and the rest are almost there! It's just that I'm still short of this meat ticket... Can you see if you can exchange ten pounds for me?"

As Yan Bugui was talking, he drank a sip of tea and then thought about the fact that he had no idea where to buy peanuts, melon seeds and the like.

"And there are tickets for peanuts and melon seeds. It would be even better if I had a few kilograms! It's okay if I don't have any. I'll look for them somewhere else!"

Xu Guangfu burst out laughing and said to Yan Bugui with a smile: "Don't bother, I'll go and get it for you!"

After saying that, Xu Guangfu went to Yu Shui's room and chatted with the girls for a while.

He returned home and went to the bedroom to get the ticket that Yan Bugui needed from the system.

He grabbed a handful of bills and went outside to hand them to Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui took the bills and counted them carefully twice before putting them in his pocket.

"Xiao Xu! Look, this is a total of 15 catties of meat tickets, 4 catties of melon seed tickets, and 3 catties of peanut tickets. I'll calculate it for you according to the market price!"

Xu Guangfu shook his head and laughed, which made Yan Bugui blush. He stammered, "Well...Xiao Xu, I know these tickets are in short supply, so the price is usually a bit higher. How about you tell me a price?"

Xu Guangfu smiled and said, "No need, just do as you say, Uncle Third, just follow the market price!"

Yan Bugui heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, gave Xu Guangfu a thumbs up, and praised him with a smile on his face: "Xiao Xu, you are very generous! Thank you!"

Xu Guangfu didn't say anything. Yan Bugui reached into his pocket, counted out the money and handed it over.

Xu Guangfu took the money and put it in his pocket, then chatted with Yan Bugui with a smile.

Yan Bugui stood up to say goodbye. Xu Guangfu saw him to the door and went back to his room to sleep.
