The host and guest were Chen Zhiguo, accompanied by Lin Zhen and Shazhu.
Qin Huairu and Yuyu were sitting under the table.
Mrs. Jia Zhang led Xiaodang and Sophora japonica in the West House without serving the table.
After a round of drinking, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and Shazhu and Chen Zhiguo had nothing to say.
Lin Zhen, as the person who was invited to calm down the atmosphere, had to say a few words.
He smiled slightly and said: "Zhi Guo, Yu Yu is the easiest and smartest daughter in our courtyard. You have to love her after you marry her."
Chen Zhiguo smiled and said: "That's for sure, I don't care about anything else about her, I only care about herself."
Qin Huairu smiled and said: "It's your business if you don't care about anything else. When Yu Yu gets married, we will definitely prepare a dowry. We can't be any worse than others."
Lin Zhen asked: "Zhiguo, what are you planning to get married? Do you have any plans?"
He Yuyu smiled and said nothing. Chen Zhiguo said proudly: "It's definitely too late this year. We are planning to get married next winter."
"Ahem~"
Silly Zhu rolled his eyes at Chen Zhiguo and said nothing. The meaning couldn't be more obvious, he was still a little unhappy.
Chen Zhiguo said awkwardly: "Brother, when do you think we should get married?"
Silly Zhu said calmly: "Your family members have to come to ask about the date first. I have checked the auspicious zodiac date and informed you, and then you can prepare for the wedding. You can't just say get married and get married!"
He Yuyu frowned and said: "This is a new era. Don't mess with the old etiquette of the old society. We have made an appointment to get married next winter!"
Silly Zhu said: "You are getting married in a proper manner, not rushing out. If you leave in such a hurry, I will not accompany you with the dowry!"
"Huh! You don't need to accompany me. You didn't choose an auspicious day for your two marriages. It's my turn, but you are more particular!"
Silly Zhu said helplessly: "So, my two marriages were unhappy, so I have to believe some things!"
Qin Huairu's smiling face suddenly froze.
Lin Zhen was really dumbfounded at the scene. If it weren't for Chen Zhiguo's sake, he would have left now.
"Silly Zhu, if you don't know how to nag, don't nag. It's feudal and superstitious, let alone asking someone to predict the future!"
Silly Zhu took a sip of wine and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it!"
Chen Zhiguo said: "Brother, let's talk about this in the house. It is a mistake to promote feudal superstition. You should not say this outside in the future."
"You're almost done. I'm here to visit relatives. Instead of calling the police, why are you chaining me up?"
"Brother, what you said is wrong. How can I lock you?"
Silly Zhu waved his hand impatiently, "You haven't locked it yet!"
He Yuyu was so angry that he wanted to have a big quarrel with his brother. He held chopsticks in his hands and glared at Si Zhu.
Lin Zhen advised: "Okay, okay, that's it. Just say a few words. Oh, by the way, our workers are on holiday during the Chinese New Year. Are you police officers as relaxed as we are, or are you more tired?
?”
"We don't have any holidays. We prepare for the police to be dispatched at any time after get off work every day."
"So you guys have worked hard enough."
"No matter how hard we work, we can't compare to the contribution our worker brothers make to the country."
The two chatted for a while, and the freezing atmosphere finally relaxed a little.
At around eight o'clock, Chen Zhiguo couldn't sit down anymore. The more than one hour banquet was simply more torturous for him than the Hongmen Banquet.
Fortunately, Lin Zhen was there to chat with them. If there were no outsiders but Silly Zhu, they would have started fighting long ago.
Before leaving, Chen Zhiguo held Lin Zhen's hand.
“Lin Gong, I’ll treat you to a favor when I get the chance, and you’ll be rewarded with face!”
"Hey, it's not a big deal. If you want to get together, just come to my house, or we can go to the canteen of the steel rolling mill."
Silly Zhu stood beside him with an unconvinced look on his face, thinking to himself that this meal of wine had turned into a drunken friendship, and he was really unjust.
Except that Silly Zhu and his sister felt a little awkward, and Liu Haizhong and his wife in the backyard were unhappy.
The whole courtyard was still full of laughter and laughter.
After the lively New Year’s Eve, it’s the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1965.
This year the steel rolling mill has a 5-day holiday and will start working on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when Bangge comes out of the juvenile detention center.
In order to prevent Banggeng from getting angry, Qin Huairu went to pick it up by herself and did not let Shazhu follow.
In the courtyard, he also told some people who were close to him not to tell Bangge about his marriage to Shazhu.
She wanted to give Banggeng a few days to relax so that he could accept Si Zhu as his stepfather.
Regarding their affairs, no one in the courtyard wanted to cause trouble.
The only ones who want to punish Silly Zhu are Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian.
One is an enemy since childhood, and the other is a recent enemy.
But Xu Damao has no intention of dealing with Silly Zhu now, he just wants to live his life well under the leadership of Lin Zhen.
After all, Si Zhu had been squatting for a year and had been relatively honest in the two months after he came out. He did not bully Xu Damao, so he no longer wanted to be a bitch and cause trouble.
Liu Guangtian was angry with Shazhu some time ago, but after self-reflection, he realized that he was not worthy of Liu Yuhua, and the conflict of interest with Shazhu was gone.
I don't want to offend a stupid person.
Therefore, after Bangge came back, no one deliberately told him that Qin Huairu and Shazhu had been married for two months.
But just because adults don’t say it, doesn’t mean that children don’t say it.
Just because people in the courtyard don't talk about it doesn't mean that people in the alley don't talk about it.
Qin Huairu took Banggan home, and both Shazhu and his sister He Yuyu came to congratulate him.
On the surface, everything seemed harmonious, and Banggeng's attitude towards Silly Zhu also changed a lot, and he took the initiative to call Silly Uncle.
Qin Huairu saw this and was happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Banggan, today is your special day. Your stupid uncle said he would show off his skills and cook you a delicious meal. How about we go to his house for lunch?"
Banggian said happily: "Okay! I want to eat meat!"
Silly Zhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's enough!"
"Okay! Mom, Uncle Silly, I went out to play. I haven't seen my classmates for a long time. I'm going to find them!"
"Okay, go ahead, don't forget to eat, and come back before twelve o'clock!"
"knew!"
Banggen ran away quickly, followed by Xiaodang and Huaihua.
Silly Zhu asked: "Huai Ru, what are you going to tell him?"
Now Qin Huairu has slowly taken Shazhu into his hands again.
Mainly during the few days of the New Year, Qin Huairu's perseverance impressed Silhu.
She really can't hold back from eating too much.
Although I don’t dare to cut down as hard as before, I eat half full at every meal and only reduce the amount of food every meal.
And I didn’t even have to find a job, so I cleaned up both homes and washed them inside and out.
After a new year, I didn’t gain weight at all, but lost three kilograms.
Silly Zhu saw hope again.
If this continues, Qin Huairu will be able to watch it in less than half a year.
While you are young, hurry up and have a few more children. From then on, your life will be happy.
Now Shazhu is worried about Banggeng, fearing that Banggeng will hinder Qin Huairu from caring about his son but not himself.
Therefore, as soon as Banggeng left, he immediately asked Qin Huairu about his plans.
Qin Huairu said with a smile: "You should treat him better these days, and I will slowly do his ideological work. Don't worry, Banggeng is much more sensible now."
"Okay, as soon as Banggeng agrees, we will move in together and get a few more while we are young. We will not only keep Banggeng company, but also Feibiao's company."
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "You are thinking very well. With your salary, you can give me 9 yuan a month. Is it enough to raise a child?"
"Oh~ we can discuss it with Yuhua when we have children. They actually don't care about my money."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and go eat!"
Silly Zhu walked out of Jia's house triumphantly, ready to go home and start cooking for Banggeng.
It happened that Xu Damao came back from outside and was humming a ditty and holding snacks sold in the market.
He and Shazhu were facing each other, and Xu Damao quickly lowered his head and turned aside to avoid it.
Cursing bad luck in a low voice, Shazhu frowned and said, "Xu Damao, what did you say?"
"No, I didn't say anything? Did I say anything? Is there something wrong with your ears, Silly Zhu? Let Dr. Ye treat it for you!"
"Hey! I'm looking for you!"
"Oh! Don't do it!" Xu Damao quickly took a few steps back. "We are brothers-in-law now. Don't act like enemies when we meet!"
Silly Zhu sneered and said: "Look at your potential. If you don't say bad luck, how can I beat you? Get out! I'm happy that the stick figure is back today, and I don't have the same experience as you!"
"Pfft~" Xu Damao couldn't help but laugh and said: "What a stick, you have never been so happy to see Fei Biao, hum! Just have fun, you will know after a while what joy brings sorrow!"
Xu Damao said and turned around and ran away. Silly Zhu spat and cursed: "Don't run away if you have the guts!"
After Si Zhu returned home, before any of the vegetables had been cut, stick stems came flying out from outside.
One of the cotton shoes disappeared, and with one bare foot, I ran back to Jia's house huffing and puffing.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the quarrel between Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang, and the cry of Bangge.
Silly Zhu frowned, quickly put down the kitchen knife and went to check.
Before I even reached the door of Jia's house, I heard Bangge crying: "With me and without him, with him and without me, Mom, you lied to me! Lie to me, why did you lie to me!"
Silly Zhu pushed open the door and asked eagerly: "What's wrong? BangGeng, did you get into a fight with someone?"
"Get out! You are not allowed to enter my home! Get out!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bangge picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board with his backhand, rounded his arm and threw it at Si Zhu.
Silhu was so frightened that he trembled all over, lowered his head to avoid it, and the kitchen knife flew into the yard instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Banggeng picked up the pots and pans again, smashed them, and smashed them back into his house, smashing things all over the yard.
Silly Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect that the little stickman's tricks could be so dark.
It can be seen that he was not reformed well in the juvenile detention center.
Banggeng roared: "Silly Zhu! I already know about you marrying my mother. I will never forgive you in my life! I will kill you!"
Shazhu's heart was very complicated. He was both angry and helpless. He couldn't fight the child.
I'm still a bit unwilling to do so. It's obviously not my idea. If something goes wrong, it's my fault.
Silly Zhu was livid and speechless.
Qin Huairu pulled Banggeng close to her arms and cried: "Banggeng, Mom shouldn't hide it from you. Just give Mom some time and listen to Mom's explanation, okay?"
"I won't listen! Only my father can hold you while sleeping, but not others. People say my mother is a broken shoe, so how can I go out to meet people!"
"Bang Gee! What are you talking about! Your mother is not!" Mrs. Jia Zhang quickly covered her voice, fearing that the neighbors would hear her.
However, the neighbors had already come out. The third uncle Yan Bugui said: "If we don't hold a meeting, there will be no way to mediate this matter. Lin Zhen, how about a meeting?"
Lin Zhen nodded and said: "Indeed, if the commotion continues like this, the whole alley will be laughing at our courtyard. You and the second uncle should hurry up and get over."
Yan Bugui hurried over and said, "Okay, okay, Qin Huairu, please let Banggeng go back quickly. Lao Liu and I will have a meeting to mediate this conflict for you."
Jia Zhang said angrily: "No, we can't have meetings, we can't let people laugh at us!"
Qin Huairu was afraid that Sha Zhu would take the opportunity to file for divorce, so she quickly said: "Mom, we need to have a meeting to explain things clearly. Third uncle, can you hold a small meeting? Just the heads of your family can help mediate."
