Chapter 213 Silly Zhu sets the table and specially invites Zhang Yu and his wife
Zhang Yu came back with the teapot and saw Mengyi and Ran Qiuye chattering, like sisters they had not seen for many years, as if they had endless topics to talk about.
Mengxue was also on the side, saying a few words from time to time to show her presence.
Silly Zhu was the only one sitting alone, extremely restrained.
Zhang Yu quickly poured the tea. Seeing Zhang Yu coming back, Silly Zhu seemed to be activated.
Zhang Yu pulled up a small bench and sat in front of the coffee table.
"Si Zhu, when will you and Teacher Ran set the table?"
"I came to tell you this. The situation is not serious now, so we don't want to make a big show of it."
"The two of us discussed it. We plus the rain, the father and his family, the old lady, and we can have a meal together. That's it."
"We are here for another reason, that is, we want to invite you two to go with us."
"After all, the only reason we can succeed is because of your help in making suggestions. I'm afraid you'll refuse, so we both came here specially."
Silly Zhu said with a pleading look.
Zhang Yu looked at Mengyi, who naturally heard what Shazhu said and also admired Ran Qiuye.
I don’t want this good sister I just met to go away disappointed.
"Okay, I and Zhang Yu have agreed to this. We will be there on the specific date."
Ran Qiuye took Mengyi's hand and said happily.
"Thank you Mengyi, we plan to set up a table tomorrow, and you and Zhang Yu must come then!"
"Okay, we will definitely be there." Mengyi nodded seriously.
Now that everything has been conveyed, a clear answer has been obtained.
Silly Zhu and Ran Qiuye decided to stand up and leave. Zhang Yu planned to stay with them for dinner.
Silly Zhu waved his hand: "I don't want to eat. The house hasn't been cleaned up yet. We have to clean the house quickly when we get back."
Seeing that the two of them refused to eat, Zhang Yu was not going to force him to keep it.
Together with Mengyi, they were sent out of the house, and they repeatedly promised to arrive tomorrow. Only then did Shazhu and Ran Qiuye leave with peace of mind.
It wasn't until the two of them left the alley that Zhang Yu took Mengyi back home.
Back in the house, Mengyi sat on the sofa, dragging her cheeks with her hands and staring blankly ahead.
Zhang Yu tidied the coffee table, washed the teapot and teacups and put them away.
Looking at Mengyi's silly and cute look, Zhang Yu sat down next to Mengyi and put his arms around Mengyi's shoulders.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in your thoughts."
Mengyi glanced at Zhang Yu, followed Zhang Yu's strength, and fell into Zhang Yu's arms.
"Zhang Yu, what do you think we should bring tomorrow?"
"I don't know, you have decided." Zhang Yu really didn't think about this.
Zhang Yu originally planned to just give him or her a piece of money, anything from 50 cents to 1 cent, and then give him two thermoses.
Mengyi didn't know what Zhang Yu was thinking, so she told herself her plan after considering it in many ways.
"How about we bring them two hot pots and cut them a pound of meat."
Since Mengyi wanted to give it away, Zhang Yu let her go. Zhang Yu could see that Mengyi really liked Ran Qiuye as a friend.
"Okay, just make your decision. I'll go out and buy it later."
"Um, didn't I say a bit too much? Otherwise, we won't give away the meat, and we'll just go with the money."
"How about a piece?"
"It doesn't matter, you make up your mind."
Mengyi thought again and chose the latter option. After all, giving away meat was too ostentatious.
"Then just follow the money."
"Okay, I'll buy it later."
……
"Hey, Zhang Yu is back?"
Yan Bugui, who was blowing the cold wind in the front yard, noticed someone coming in at the door. He took a closer look and saw that it was Zhang Yu who had returned.
Zhang Yu checked that it was still early and was not in a hurry to go to Shazhu’s house.
"Yes, Third Uncle, Third Uncle is not working now, so I can take a break."
"Hey, I'm just a hard worker, so I'm still resting and it's early."
"If I don't make arrangements for my boys, how can I rest?"
Yan Bugui is really not crying about poverty, the family is really in trouble...
Originally, when I was a teacher, my salary was not high, but it was still a little bit. In addition to the food, clothing, and housing for the family, thirty yuan was enough to save some money.
Now we are sitting on nothing, and the little savings our family has cannot last long.
Fortunately, Yanbu Gui knows how to fish, and you can still make some money by selling the fish you catch to the kitchen of the steel rolling mill.
But as the weather gets colder and the water freezes, Yan Bugui, with his physique, cannot cut through the ice, so fishing is hopeless.
Yan Bugui sits in the front yard every day to blow the cold wind, clear his mind, and think of moves.
"Hahaha, the third uncle is really joking. Your boss is an adult and married, and you still have to take care of it. Don't be ridiculous."
Zhang Yu obviously doesn't believe what Yan Bugui said. If he can make his family poor, then there is something wrong with him.
"No more chatting, Mr. Third, I'm going back to the house first."
Zhang Yu pulled Mengyi and walked towards the middle courtyard.
Yan Bugui looked at Zhang Yu's back, thinking about his boss, sighed, and continued to be in a daze.
Zhang Yu and Mengyi came to Sha Zhu's house and saw that Sha Zhu was busy cooking.
Ran Qiuye watched Zhang Yu arrive and saw Zhang Yu holding a thermos in his hand.
Before Ran Qiuye could ask, Mengyi spoke first.
"Sister Ran, you guys are getting married. Zhang Yu and I didn't know what to bring, so we brought two thermoses."
Ran Qiuye said with an embarrassed look.
"Hey, look at you two, come here and bring something!"
"We don't lack anything at home. We'd be very happy if you could come."
"Oh! I brought them all, just accept them."
Mengyi conveniently put the dollar she had prepared on the table.
"No, no, no, we can't take the money, put it away quickly."
Ran Qiuye picked up the money on the table and handed it to Mengyi.
Zhang Yu quickly helped Mengyi block it.
"Teacher Ran, you don't have to refuse. You have to take the money. You can't get this money back."
"When I first got married, Shazhu also gave me a share of the money. This is what comes and goes."
"You'd better keep it, lest the time comes, Silly Zhu blames me for my lack of etiquette."
After Ran Qiuye finished speaking, he even glared at Si Zhu.
"He dares!"
When the three of them were talking, Shazhu had already listened.
Seeing Ran Qiuye staring at him, he quickly showed a flattering smile.
"Don't dare."
"Okay, Mengyi, you and Teacher Ran go and sit for a while, and I'll go help Shazhu."
With the addition of Zhang Yu, Shazhu's progress was much faster, and He Yuyu came back just in time to help Shazhu work together.
Silly Zhu asked He Yuyu to invite the old lady over, and also called the uncle and the others.
After a while, He Yuyu supported the old lady and walked in.
The old lady specially wore clean clothes and was dressed upright.
Yi Zhonghai and Auntie followed him in, but Yi Zhonghai had a fake smile on his face, which made people look particularly uncomfortable.
The eldest mother was very happy, pulling Ran Qiuye and Mengyi to chat and laugh non-stop.
She kept asking about the child in Mengyi's belly, with envy in her eyes.
Mengyi also supported Zhang Yu’s words about the aunt, and suddenly she felt sorry for this aunt.
Being married without children is a life-long pain for a woman. Being able to have children and being infertile are two different situations on a woman's spiritual level.
