Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Wang Jianjun took a set of teapots from the house, brewed a pot of good tea, and asked Wang Decai to sit down and drink tea.

"You two don't have to work today. I have arranged for people to do the work."

Wang Jianjun specially took some cigarettes yesterday and asked a few uncles in the courtyard to help him tidy up the tables and chairs and do miscellaneous chores.

His generosity made the people in the courtyard feel a little embarrassed.

Normally, when people in the courtyard get married, neighbors will help each other with work.

Wang Jianjun even gave them some cigarettes, so those people worked very hard.

"It's almost time to go pick up the bride."

Wang Decai poured a cup of tea for everyone and asked.

As the elder, he is responsible for receiving guests today.

However, only their family came from the countryside, and the people invited to the evening banquet all arrived in the evening, so he was very free now.

"Almost done. I'm going to change my clothes and pick someone up."

Wang Jianjun looked at the time and saw that it was already eight o'clock, so he went back to the house and changed into the wedding clothes the two women bought for him.

Trousers, white shirt and leather shoes.

Then comb your hair into a hairstyle that you think is handsome.

After tidying up, he pushed his bicycle to pick up his bride.

When he came out, he happened to meet Yan Bugui who had returned from fishing.

"How was the harvest today, Uncle San?"

As Wang Jianjun spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them over.

"Hey! Thanks to your good fortune, I caught a good fish today, and it weighs two kilograms!"

Veteran fisherman Yan Bugui couldn't help but show off his achievements today.

He only catches a two-kilogram fish once or twice a year.

"Great, Third Uncle! I'd like to trouble you to help me register the gift money today."

"Okay, okay. I just happen to have something to do tonight so I'll let Jie Cheng go to the banquet for me."

"Okay, then let Jie Cheng come earlier in the evening."

Wang Jianjun said this and pushed his bicycle away.

Yan Bugui put down his fishing equipment and went back to the house, moved out the tables and chairs, spread out a piece of red paper and started to register the gift money.

This was his favorite job. He could get a pack of cigarettes just by sitting down and writing a few words.

Yan Bugui just wanted to make a cup of tea and eat some melon seeds.

A fragrance wafted over from the central courtyard.

It turned out that Nan Yi was processing some ingredients there.

Yan Bugui has a very sensitive nose.

He sniffed and smelled meat.

And it’s not just one kind of meat.

The flavors of beef, pork, chicken, and fish.

Yan Bugui's hand holding the pen froze for a moment.

A thought flashed through my mind like a bolt from the blue.

Miscalculated!!!

Yan Bugui was anxious to get up and go to the Intermediate Court to check the situation.

But now someone has come to give a gift.

Yan Bugui had just stood up but had to sit back down to register his name.

But he had no mind to do anything at the moment. His mind was full of what was happening in the Central Court.

"Hey, hey, hey, Uncle. How come you wrote my name wrong?"

It turned out that Yan Bugui had written the names of the gift givers incorrectly.

"Look at me. I've been writing for my whole life and yet I still make mistakes."

Yan Bugui made a self-deprecating remark to ease the embarrassment.

"Haha, Uncle Third, maybe he has no time to work because he is thinking about the banquet tonight."

"Hey, don't talk about Uncle San. I was confused when I saw all those meat dishes. I didn't expect Wang Jianjun to be so arrogant as to prepare so much meat."

What the extra neighbor said confirmed Yan Bugui's guess.

Real hammer!

Yan Bugui is so regretful now.

If he had known that there would be a delicious meal tonight, Yan Bugui would never have given up his seat at the table to Yan Jiecheng.

The relationship with my son is not as important as eating meat.

Yan Bugui wanted to go back on his word and prepare to have a meal alone in the evening.

But I just told Wang Jianjun that Yan Jiecheng would be attending the dinner in the evening.

After all, Yan Jiecheng is not Jia Zhang, so he cannot be completely shameless.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally sat back in his chair dejectedly.

Never mind, never mind, you can’t blame others if you are not good at calculating.

Wang Jianjun's arrogance really surprised everyone in the hospital.

Whose girl is this that needs such a lavish banquet?

Of course, what they didn't know was that the banquet Nan Yi was hosting that evening was in no way comparable to the ones he had hosted before.

All the way to Shen Chuxia's home.

The two girls told Wang Jianjun not to come over for the next three days.

Wang Jianjun just thought that the two of them were giving him a surprise.

As requested, Wang Jianjun knocked on the door.

It took a long time before the door was opened.

Wang Jianjun was stunned by the beauty in front of him at first sight.

Shen Chuxia's (Shen Maiqiu) slightly made-up face made Wang Jianjun more moved than usual.

Wang Jianjun was about to speak, but he was stuck.

He asked tentatively:

"wheat harvest season?"

"Hehe, brother-in-law, guess whether I am the elder sister or the younger sister-in-law."

Wang Jianjun smiled and hugged Shen Maiqiu, kissed her on the mouth and said:

"If you want to trick me, at least speak in your sister's tone."

Shen Maiqiu raised her little head and snorted:

"If I really pretend to be Sister Chu Xia, you definitely won't recognize me."

"Who said that? I can recognize it at a glance."

Wang Jianjun laughed and followed Shen Maiqiu into the house.

When he opened Shen Chuxia's door, he saw Shen Chuxia, dressed the same as Shen Maiqiu, sitting in front of the dressing table.

Seeing Wang Jianjun, Shen Chuxia said with a smile:

"Brother Jianjun, you didn't guess it was me, did you?"

Wang Jianjun was dumbfounded. He turned to look at Shen Maiqiu beside him and asked uncertainly:

"Who are you..."

"Who just said that he could recognize Mai Qiu at a glance?"

Shen Maiqiu said this and walked to Shen Chuxia's side.

Or maybe Shen Chuxia walked to Shen Maiqiu's side.

The two sisters put their arms around each other's shoulders and asked in a different tone.

"Brother Jianjun, guess who I am?"

"Jianjun, guess who I am?"

Wang Jianjun's eyes were a little blurry. Are you two trying to play a trick on me about the real and fake Monkey King?

Wang Jianjun laughed and walked over, wanting to hug the two of them and kiss them to get the matter over with.

But the two sisters hid away and said with a smile:

"We two sisters are not kidding you today."

"That's right! If you want to marry us sisters today, you have to do as we ask."

"When other families pick up their brides, the bride's side has to set up checkpoints. We have prepared one for you today."

Wow, these two sisters actually came up with this during these few days at home.

Wang Jianjun also became interested and asked:

"Then tell me what level it is?"

Shen Chuxia or Shen Maiqiu said with a smile:

"It's very simple. As long as you can recognize who is who between us without relying on your abilities to cheat, you will pass this level. But you must do so without cheating."

"No way, no way, Brother Jianjun, do you have to cheat to recognize us?"

Damn, this sarcastic tone really sounds like Shen Maiqiu, but the more the other party said this, the more unsure Wang Jianjun became.

As for cheating, Wang Jianjun was not going to use it even if the two sisters didn't tell him.

It's so interesting, what's the point of cheating?
