"Forget it then." The third aunt was feeling sorry for Tea, and she felt happy when she heard this.
"Don't worry, if you don't want to drink tea, why don't you put some brown sugar?" Ms. Jia Zhang curled her lips.
"..."
The third aunt couldn't run a house, so she could only give Yan Bugui a questioning look.
The Yan family has a brown sugar jar, but it can only be opened twice a year.
Pinch a handful on the evening of New Year’s Eve and a pinch on the morning of New Year’s Day.
It is usually sealed and cannot be opened.
Yan Bugui's face darkened again, and the corners of his mouth trembled twice.
He really couldn't bear it, but for the sake of Yan Jiecheng's marriage, he finally nodded.
"Look what I'm doing. Didn't you see that my sister-in-law has a stomachache? Hurry up and pour some brown sugar tea!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang drank brown sugar tea and said happily: "Old Yan, what's the matter with you?"
"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, look, it's time to get married. I've checked the old almanac. It's a good day on the 4th of the next month. Why don't you let the two children get married?" Yan Bugui
road.
It turned out that he was stimulated by Li Weidong, and Jia Zhang could understand.
That guy Li Weidong is so annoying. He picked up such a good wife for nothing.
"Isn't the fourth day of the Lunar New Year next weekend? Isn't this a bit urgent?
Although Cuihua doesn’t have any relatives from her mother’s side, she is still Huanghua’s eldest daughter, and she wants to be honorable.”
As she spoke, Jia Zhang lifted her right leg up to her left leg, shook her right foot rhythmically twice, put her hands on her knees, and looked like, "Hurry up and add more money!"
Knowing that Mrs. Jia Zhang wanted to open her mouth again, the third aunt quickly stopped her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I think you grew up watching..."
Jia Zhang knew that the introduction fee of 2 yuan was already a sky-high price.
It is impossible to collect wool from the old Yan family again.
Besides, Cuihua’s uncle promised an introduction fee of ten yuan.
A matchmaker can earn twelve yuan. Besides her, Jia Zhang, who else is there in the capital?
"Look at what makes you nervous. Am I the kind of person? Let's do this. I'll go to Cuihua's house later, but then I will be the main seat at the wedding banquet. By the way, you will also give me
My wife will arrange a place of honor."
There is no such rule in Beijing for a family to sit at two seats of honor.
However, Yan Bugui still nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will ask Jie Cheng and Cuihua to toast you a few more glasses during the banquet."
"Then just wait for my good news!" Mrs. Jia Zhang twisted her butt and left the Yan family.
I have to say that Jia Zhang's work efficiency is very high.
He came back in less than half an hour and told Yanbu that Guicuihua's family had agreed to hold a wedding banquet on the fourth day of next month.
Yan Bugui was so happy that he opened his mouth from ear to ear.
As long as his family holds a wedding banquet and Li Weidong does not hold a wedding banquet, then this face will be earned back.
As for how to hold a wedding banquet to save money, Yan Bugui has thought about it countless times in his mind.
The wedding banquet can be placed in the front yard.
Find a few big tables and bring Silly Zhu over to be the cook.
Buy two to three hundred kilograms of cabbage and radish from the market, and be more generous and buy seven or eight kilograms of meat.
"Look, a table can seat ten people. If each person gives a gift of 6 yuan, we can earn 5 yuan, which is 50 yuan for ten people. If we invite all the neighbors in the courtyard, we can at least earn 5 yuan.
One hundred, seventeen and eighty yuan."
After Mr. Jia and Zhang left, Yan Bugui pulled the abacus beads and narrowed his little eyes with joy.
"...The gift of 6 yuan is too much. Will they pay it? When Old Liu next door got married, our family only handed over 2 yuan." The third aunt was worried.
"Can it be the same? Old Liu is a porter and does hard work. I am a teacher and an educated person, so my status is different." Yan Bugui glared at her and said, "Don't worry, I will write the gift money on the invitation later.
The amount of money. The people in our compound are very respectable and will not be reluctant to part with this money."
Third aunt always feels it is inappropriate.
However, considering that Li Weidong has made so much money, and his family earns more than 100 yuan in gift money, is it not too much?
Without saying anything more, he stood up and helped Yan Bugui get red paper and pen and ink.
...
the other side.
After Li Weidong and Yu Li moved their things back to the backyard, a large group of neighbors who heard the news came to watch the fun.
When they learned that these items were dowry items from the Yu family, their eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
They all belong to the same compound, why is Li Weidong so lucky?
I picked up a daughter-in-law without spending any money, and the daughter-in-law’s family also gave me so many gifts.
Many years less struggle!
The most angry person was Xu Damao.
When he married Lou Xiao'e, the Lou family pretended to be poor but didn't give her anything as a dowry.
As for the jewelry that the Lou family had hidden in his house, they could only look at it but not use it. Comrade Damao was so frightened!
Let’s look at Yu Li again. She comes from a good background and her parents are very capable.
The more Comrade Damao thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he thought about it.
Soon I couldn't bear it any longer and ran home angrily, kicking the door open.
"..."
Oh, Lou Xiao'e didn't come back from her parents' house, so forget it.
It's just that the poor elm door, after two angry kicks, is now overwhelmed.
"Plop", it fell down and almost hit Damao.
Damn, I still have to repair the door.
Comrade Damao wanted to cry but had no tears.
...
After smiling and dealing with the old lady and young daughter-in-law who were watching the fun, Li Weidong and Yu Li started to clean up the house.
It's easy to talk about scattered items, just put them in the cabinet and on the table.
But it is difficult to place a sewing machine. The house is not big and it is not suitable to be placed anywhere.
Finally, Comrade Yu Li made up her mind and placed the sewing machine in front of the window.
The light here is good, and it can be used as a desk for the children in the future.
Unknowingly, Yu Li did not realize that her thinking had changed.
In the past, she only thought about herself, but now when arranging anything, she first thinks about her children.
After setting up the sewing machine, Yu Li was still not idle. She stood at the sewing machine and looked at it for a moment, frowning.
Then, take a rag and wipe the sewing machine from top to bottom until it is shiny.
That seriousness made Li Weidong happy: "Isn't it just a machine for sewing clothes? Does it deserve such respect?"
"You men don't understand..."
Yu Li smiled and wiped it a few times. She found that there was some dust on the bottom plate that could not be wiped off, so she picked up a wet rag and prepared to wipe it.
But he was stopped by Li Weidong and said: "I don't understand why the sewing machine is so important, but I understand the machine. It is full of metal parts. If water seeps in, the parts will rust."
"Hey, I won't wipe it anymore." Yu Li was so frightened that she quickly threw the linen aside.
However, she still didn't want to let go of the sewing machine, so she picked up another piece of white silk and started working on it.
Seeing that it was still early, Li Weidong didn't rush her.
After turning up the stove, I made a pot of tea and sat there watching Yu Li busy.
She stretched the fabric with one hand and gently turned the sewing machine head with the other.
The feet are not idle either. As they move up and down, their small feet are like fluttering butterflies.
The jet-black braid kept shaking on her shoulders.
This thing seems to be a rein, right?
Li Weidong thought of a good idea and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Don't ask, asking means getting on your horse and fighting in the world.
The warm winter sun shines through the glass windows into the house full of life.
"Da da da...", love flows in life.
Yu Li worked for half an hour before showing the finished product to Li Weidong.
It was a sewing machine cover.
Li Weidong: "......"
...
After buying all the big stuff, the next step is to apply for a license.
Driving without a license can easily result in a 404.
Li Weidong and Yu Li rode bicycles to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
First, he took out a large handful of White Rabbit candies from his canvas bag and distributed them to the staff, and then handed over the letter of introduction and household registration book.
The staff ate sweets, looked at them briefly, and then helped the two go through the marriage formalities.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau holding a marriage certificate that looked like a grand prize, the two walked hand in hand on the street.
A gust of breeze blew, the leaves trembled, and the light spots on the ground were shattered.
"Do you know what this is?" Li Weidong shook his marriage certificate.
"Marriage certificate?" Yu Li wondered.
"This is a legal driving license, just like a driver's license... Hehe..." Li Weidong glanced sideways at his cute little wife.
Yu Li thought of what she had said a while ago, and naturally understood what this man meant, and whispered shyly and coquettishly: "I hate it~"
