Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

As soon as Yu Li got off work, she saw Yan Jiecheng standing at the gate, and her face changed immediately:

"What are you here for?"

She was reluctant to buy them a bicycle, and her request was already low enough.

"Since you don't want to buy a bicycle, don't come to me again in the future."

Ever since she saw how much Ye Fei loved He Yushui, she also wanted a husband like that.

He is rich, handsome and very generous.

Since she only gets married once in her life, she naturally hopes to have a grand wedding.

Maybe most people couldn't be as rich and willful as Ye Fei, but she had inquired and found out that Jia Dongxu, who lived in their courtyard, bought a sewing machine when he got married.

She didn't ask for a sewing machine, just a bicycle, and she was still in a dilemma.

“No, Yu Li, the bicycle has already been bought.

I came here this time to take you back to have a look."

Yan Jiecheng explained hurriedly, reaching out to grab Yu Li's hand.

“Bought it?

Did you really buy a bicycle?

Yu Li originally wanted to shake off Yan Jiecheng's hand, but upon hearing this, her expression instantly softened and she asked anxiously:

“Where’s the bike?”

“It’s in our house now.

My dad just bought it yesterday.

Today I thought of taking you back to see it after get off work."

“Then what are you still doing here?

Let’s go now.”

Yu Li said impatiently that she just wanted to go to Yan Jiecheng's house as soon as possible to confirm the truth of the matter.

But I don't think there will be any deception. After all, buying a bicycle is such a big thing. If it is really a lie, it will be exposed sooner or later.

"Okay, let's go home now."

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li hurried to the courtyard. As soon as they entered the house, they saw the bicycle parked there. It was shiny and obviously a new bicycle.

"It's so hot, let's eat a piece of watermelon first."

The third aunt cut a watermelon and handed a piece to Yu Li.

"Thank you."

Yu Li took the watermelon, said thank you politely, and then walked around the bicycle.

At the same time, my thoughts have drifted away.

The bicycle has been bought, and when she gets married, it will definitely be a grand occasion.

You know, this is the only one of its kind in their family compound.

In this courtyard, apart from He Yushui, she is also considered to be the most capable one.

What is Qin Huairu's sewing machine?

It’s better than this bicycle. In the future, I can just ride a bicycle wherever I want to go. It’s not effortless at all.

"Yu Li, look, you've bought the bicycle. When do you plan to do what you agreed to in the reconciliation?"

Seeing Yu Li's happy face, the third aunt took the opportunity to speak.

"Xie Cheng is not young anymore at this age. Xu Damao, who is the same age as him, is already married and will be a father soon.

You see, we old people just hope that our children can get things done quickly..."

"I have to go back and discuss the marriage with my parents."

Yu Li was not overwhelmed by the new bicycle and spoke.

"But if my aunt buys a bicycle, I think my parents will agree to it as soon as possible."

"Okay then. I'll ask a matchmaker to go to your house and ask your parents."

The third aunt also knew that this matter required the approval of the elders, so she asked just to test the waters.

Now that I see Yu Li is not opposed to this matter, I feel relieved.

Yu Li left only after having dinner at Yan Jiecheng's house.

On the way back, Yan Jiecheng thought for a moment and said:

"Yu Li, you see, we are both not young anymore, and I have done what you asked. How about we get married this year?!"

“Getting married this year?

Isn’t this too fast? !”

Yu Li was still somewhat reluctant; she actually didn't want to get married so early.

“Not too fast.

We have known each other for almost a year.

Do you know Jia Dongxu from our hospital? !

He and Qin Huairu got married in just two months from the blind date. "

"Qin Huairu and I are different. Qin Huairu is from the countryside, so naturally she wants to get married as soon as possible.

I have my own job now. My parents raised me up, but I haven’t been filial to them yet.”

Yu Li made up a random excuse. She could feel Yan Jiecheng's love for her, but she couldn't let it get to her head.

If she could gain more benefits for herself before marriage, she would definitely try more.

“You’re right, it’s really not easy for parents.

When we get married, we will be filial to our parents together."

Yan Jiecheng answered honestly, and Yu Li nodded after hearing it:

"Okay, I'll remember what you said today."

Then he changed the subject and said:

"Yan Jiecheng, if we really get married, what are you going to do?

Is the banquet held in a hotel?

"In a hotel?"

Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said:

"Yu Li, hosting a wedding banquet in a hotel will cost a lot of money.

Look, given our family's financial situation, we spent so much money on a bicycle. If we hold a banquet in a restaurant, isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

"It's just a banquet at a restaurant, and you have this expression?!"

Yu Li immediately said unhappily:

"Either prepare all the necessary things, hold the wedding banquet in a hotel, or don't get married at all."

Seeing Yu Li's expression change as quickly as the weather in June, Yan Jiecheng felt helpless.

“Holding a banquet in a restaurant is like giving your money to others!

What I'm thinking is that we should save the money, and then ask Sha Zhu to cook for us and just give him a red envelope.

The money we save still belongs to us. When the time comes, we can use it to buy meat, new clothes, and improve our lives. Isn't that better? ! "

Yan Jiecheng was wiping as he spoke, and when he saw that Yu Li's expression had relaxed a little, he continued:

“It’s not that we can’t afford to go to a restaurant, but it’s more cost-effective to hold a banquet at home.

To be honest with you, our family’s financial situation is indeed a bit tight.

If we really do as you say and hold the banquet in a restaurant, we will definitely be short of money after it's over.

So if you marry me, will you have to live a tight life?"

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Knowing that what Yan Jiecheng said made sense, Yu Li softened her attitude.

After returning home, I immediately discussed the matter with my parents.

"Xie Cheng is right. We have also looked into it. Apart from some stinginess, there are no other major problems.

However, if you don’t learn to be calculating and frugal in your life nowadays, you might even starve to death.

Since we have already bought the bicycle, it is considered a big expense. When they send a matchmaker to our house, we can set the date."

"I don't think that's right. People only get married once in their lifetime, and the other party should satisfy my sister's wishes.

No money left after buying a bike?

It’s still poor.”

Yu Haitang expressed her opinion, but was glared at by the elder. She stuck out her tongue and said nothing more.
