The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

'The next day'!

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xueru's silk shop closed early.

She met a handsome, steady-step, slender young man in front of the silk shop. The two looked into each other's eyes, smiled at each other, and left.

There is no need to think about this young man, it is also Chang Wei's trick...

Aunt Wu, who was standing behind them, chuckled at the two's cheerful backs and muttered to herself, "Young lady, you have someone you like. I was wondering why you didn't care about the business of the shop these days and were just daydreaming and giggling. It turns out that you are obsessed with your lover. Your future son-in-law is so handsome, and the two of you are a perfect match..."

Chen family.

Xu Hongyan asked the servants to go home early, and she personally cooked a meal to entertain her future son-in-law.

She even pulled the confused Chen Wanqi to help, which shows how much the mother-in-law values ​​her son-in-law.

"Old Chen, I don't know what my son-in-law's house is like. He was alone before, so he probably doesn't care much about it. Do you think we should buy a yard for them?"

Chen Wanqi said casually. "How would I know? We'll know after asking. Although our family is not wealthy, it's still easy for us to buy a decent yard. After all, the family property will belong to them in the future, not to others."

He has only one daughter, Chen Xueru. Originally, everything belongs to her, so this is not something he needs to consider at all.

The old couple chatted, and soon a sumptuous dinner was ready.

At the same time, Chen Xueru and Chang Wei also strolled to Chen's house.

As soon as they entered the yard, Chen Xueru intimately put her arm around Chang Wei's and leaned on his shoulder happily.

We didn't have any contact along the way, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Awei, the servants have all gone home today. My mother will cook for you personally. Please respect your son-in-law!"

Chang Wei regained his appearance, smiled slightly, and scratched her nose lovingly. "So should I call you mom as soon as we meet, to return the favor?"

Chen Xueru's eyebrows curved, her pretty face flushed as she said coquettishly. "Hate it! How can you call me mom when you first meet me? You are just making a fuss..."

The two were laughing and joking in the yard when the old couple Chen Wanqi heard the noise and came out from the kitchen.

Xu Hongyan liked this son-in-law at first sight. He was indeed a handsome man. Seeing how well they both felt, she was very happy. "Ah Wei is here? Xueru, please take him inside. The food is ready."

Chang Wei greeted them with a smile. "Hello, uncle and aunt!" He found that Chen's parents were older than he had imagined, both in their forties. It seemed that they had worked hard to have a daughter like Chen Xueru.

Chen Wanqi smiled and nodded. He was also satisfied with what he saw. He was not surprised by praise or criticism, and he was handsome and polite...

Just as his thoughts were drifting, Xu Hongyan pulled him. "Old Chen, hurry up and serve the dishes."

Chang Wei glanced at Chen Xueru, handed her the gift in his hand, and silently followed to serve the dishes...

When the old couple saw this, they realized that the other person was asking them to treat them as family and not to be polite. This was an intentional attempt to get closer, so how could they be so reserved?

After the family finished serving the meal, they came to the dining table and the four of them sat down.

Chen Xueru handed the gift Chang Wei brought to her mother. "Mom, this is the Great Wall cigars that Awei brought for Dad, and a bag of this year's new tea for you."

Chen Wanqi had seen the world, and he said cheerfully, "Wow! It's a Great Wall brand, a rare item. Ah Wei, don't bother with this next time, there's no need to spend money on it."

Great Wall cigars are high-end, with a mellow aroma and a mellow taste. Ordinary people can't get them at all, and the production is not high, mainly for export.

Although it is produced domestically, it is rarer than foreign ones.

Chang Wei smiled. "Uncle Chen, I'm glad you like it. I'm just offering this to you on behalf of others. A friend gave it to me a few days ago. If you like it, I have two more boxes. I'll ask Xueru to bring them to you when she's free."

What a friend gave me. Chang Wei saw Lou Zhenhua smoking, so he bought three boxes. But after trying it, he felt uncomfortable. He didn't know what to bring to Chen's house. He couldn't bring a pig!

When I heard Chen Xueru say that his father smoked, I just remembered cigars...

Chen Wanqi waved his hand with a smile on his face. "No, no, this box is enough."

This large box is specially packaged and contains hundreds of sticks, enough for him to show off in front of his old friends.

"It's okay. I should show my respect to you. Besides, it's just sitting there anyway."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Xu Hongyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You look so happy. Stop chatting and eat first."

She was happy in her heart, and she didn't have any hobbies, except drinking some new tea from the south every year. This son-in-law was thoughtful, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was.

……

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Come on, Awei, let's do one first."

"Okay, Uncle Chen, I toast to you."

After finishing his drink and putting down his glass, Chen Wanqi spoke. "Awei, we are very satisfied with you. You and Xueru should get married as soon as possible! Your uncle's hometown is Shanghai. We haven't been in touch for many years. You don't have many relatives here. You are alone, so we should keep the wedding simple."

Sijiucheng has no relatives, but has friends! After all, it has been operating for so many years. Just listening to Chen Xueru's words, I went with the flow and did it simply.

Xu Hongyan also spoke up. "By the way, Awei, I've discussed with your uncle and want to buy you a big yard. Do you have a favorite location?"

Chang Wei smiled and replied, "Uncle and aunt, I have a three-story house in Mentou Hutong, which is big enough for us to live in. Let's not buy the house! As for my marriage with Xueru, you two just need to pick a good date."

The Mentou Hutong area is basically empty. Xu Huizhen often lives in the tavern, and they had discussed it before coming.

But why do I feel like I'm just a gigolo?

Chen Wanqi and Xu Hongyan looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

There are three courtyards. I didn’t expect that Chang Wei’s family conditions were not bad. The more he looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied he was.

Chen Wanqi said proudly: "Awei, now that we have a yard, if you need anything else, uncle will buy it for you."

Chen Xueru changed the subject and replied playfully, "You still need your daughter to be your wife! Hehe... isn't it, Awei?"

"Young lady, you are shameless." Xu Hongyan rolled her eyes lovingly. "Ah Wei, Auntie has already checked the date. The 20th day of the seventh lunar month is Xueru's birthday, so it's a good day."

Chang Wei smiled and nodded. "No problem, Auntie, I'll do as you say."

The 20th of the lunar calendar? That's a week later, so he's the bridegroom four times a month.

Chen Xueru happily took Chang Wei's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, you are so nice."

……

The family was having a great time, eating and chatting.

But Chang Wei's work was never mentioned. Chen Xueru's deliberate actions made Chen Wanqi and his wife know the truth.

After dinner, the family sat down and chatted with laughter.

It was half past seven in the evening when Chang Wei said goodbye and left.

After Chen Xueru sent him to the door, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, enjoying the brief moment of time alone together.

Chen Xueru was looking forward to a better life in the future, and she was reluctant to let Chang Wei leave for even a moment. "Awei, my parents said that if we have a child in the future, they will help me take care of it."

Chang Wei teased. "Fairy, you're already thinking about having a child before you even get married. Do you lust after my body in your dreams every night?"

"Hateful!" Chen Xueru pressed her cheek tightly against the strong chest in shame.

Fairy, it seems to be true, then let me add some more information for you.

Chang Wei lifted her delicate chin and kissed her.
