The Ordinary Road of Siheyuan

Chapter 12 The Marriage of Xu Damao



The time came to May 62, 5, Saturday, April 19 of the lunar calendar.

Today is the day of Xu Damao's big wedding. Two firecrackers with 2 rings were set off in the courtyard early in the morning, and a bunch of red happy words were posted.

Xu Damao sent a few catties of wedding candy to the courtyard yesterday, and left early this morning, it was obvious that the uncle was a little unhappy.

The wedding was held at Lou's house, and the wedding banquet was held at the Capital Hotel. No one in the courtyard was invited, saying that they would make up later, and everyone had to wait.

At present, the best wedding in the courtyard is the eldest son of the second uncle's family. For the others, the banquet hosts only invite one person, and put on a table, a few vegetarian dishes, and two or three meat dishes to get rid of the trouble.

He Yuzhu, who came back at night and heard about these things, decided to step up the offensive the next day. Recently, he and the two daughters have been able to have a good talk and go to the garden together.

The next day is Sunday, May 5th.

Early in the morning, I went to a state-run store to buy 3 pieces of Shanghai brand ladies' watches, which immediately caused a sensation in the store, and everyone gathered to watch. This cost 500 yuan, and a working family can't save 100 yuan a year.

He Yuzhu waved to everyone frequently, as if the leader was inspecting.

It wasn't until the unit rolling mill was directly opened at the time of billing that the crowd dispersed directly, what to pretend, and what kind of big tail wolf you are when the unit purchases.

Director Li has endorsed many things that He Yuzhu does now. Yes, Deputy Director Li has removed his adverb. The director in charge of the logistics of the capital factory with [-] people is the top five existence in the factory.

When I arrived at Shuimu University, I took the two girls to the Summer Palace, which was only 5 kilometers away, not half the distance from the rolling mill to Shuimu.

It was almost eleven o'clock when we arrived at the Summer Palace. He Yuzhu directly pulled a young guy from the staff and asked him to help him run errands, buy some pastries and eat, and he had to deal with lunch anyway, and eat it in the evening.

When he arrived at the center of the lake while swimming, He Yuzhu took out two watches from his bag and gave them to the two women. After some hesitation, he accepted them all. Yang Zhen’s family conditions are good, so he didn’t care about a watch, but he was a good friend. Lu Lan accepted it for the sake of it, but it's hard to say what Lu Lan thought. This may be a wonderful misunderstanding.

The spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. After paddling for more than an hour, I returned to the shore. I chose a clean grass field, took out the prepared bed sheet from my bag and spread it on it, and asked the second daughter to wait.

After getting all kinds of pastries and food that the young man bought back from running errands, he skillfully gave the other one yuan and returned to the second daughter's side.

The drinks that He Yuzhu prepared today were brown sugar ginger tea and condensed milk milk tea, because someone figured out that Yang Zhen needs to warm his stomach these days.

I was a little dumbfounded when I walked back.

I don’t know who was so rude, maybe it’s because I’m really thirsty, I’ve already drank it, He Yuzhu rolled his eyes, and took it upside down, Yang Zhen drank condensed milk tea, Lu Lan drank brown sugar ginger tea, they all drank it I'm so happy, forget it, it's better not to destroy this beauty.

After eating something to make do, He Yuzhu took his second daughter for a stroll, had some snacks, and then went to the movies. It was a very fulfilling day.

At a little after 6 pm, the three of them unanimously decided to go to the Moscow restaurant.

It was almost nine o'clock when the second daughter was sent back, and He Yuzhu was already familiar with the guard, and every time they met, he had to give up a cigarette, which was useless.

I don't know how much Xu Damao spent on getting married, but He Yuzhu spent 520 yuan. Well, he even left a watch for his sister.

He Yuzhu's second-hand Rolex and first-hand Omega are always kept in the space, and they are only taken out to check when the time is confirmed.

Lou Xiaoe lived in a courtyard house, and now it was like water dripping into a frying pan.

The eldest lady is the eldest lady, not to mention how rich the dowry is, at least this week, eat meat every day!

He Yuzhu's firepower was completely attracted away, Xu Damao was turned into a toad, and a toad was a toad, Xu Damao enjoyed himself.

At least Xu Damao is really kind to Lou Xiaoe now. He goes to work every day, prepares meals before going to work, arranges Lou Xiaoe's basic necessities of life, and also cleans up the hygiene by the way.At noon, Lou Xiao'e went to the state-run restaurant because she didn't want to eat the meal prepared by Xu Damao, which could be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

Everyone thought, can life still be like this?Evil capitalists!
Why can't I eat meat and live this kind of life?

What was even more exasperating was that at night, Xu Damao rushed back from work in a hurry, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, and doing housework.
I can't bear to watch it in the compound anymore, it's a shame for a man, bah, shameless.

Among them, Jia's family is the most restless. If they hadn't been stopped, the stick might have to run over to find Xu Damao as his godfather!

Today is November 5th, Sunday.

Notice: There will be a general meeting tonight.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was still dark, and the courtyard was already full. As for the reason for the meeting, it was because Xu Damao provoked public anger. As for the reason for the operation, there were different opinions.

At today's meeting, the first uncle spoke directly without waiting for the second uncle to put on a show and speak.

"First of all, Comrade Xu Damao in our courtyard got married, and Comrade Lou Xiaoe joined the big family of our courtyard. Welcome!"

The applause was sparse, but Lou Xiaoe was very excited. It was the first time she experienced such a thing, and everything was so strange. Xu Damao didn't care about anything else, and just sat next to Lou Xiaoe to show courtesy. Anyone who saw it would say that Xu Damao is a good comrade.

"I won't repeat the policies above. Everyone knows that everyone's life is better now, and there are some families in difficulties. Everyone should help each other, unite and love each other!"

Everyone's ears could almost hear the cocoon, no, a young man in the crowd yelled.

"Brother Da Mao hasn't had a treat yet for his wedding!"

Everyone cheered up and stared at Xu Damao, even Lou Xiaoe looked at him. Lou Xiaoe is a fool who doesn't understand many rules.

Xu Damao's change towards Lou Xiao'e started little by little after a few years of marriage without children. Quantitative changes have turned into qualitative changes. Whether it's because of love or hatred, it doesn't matter whether it's a long-term backlog.

"Everyone, don't look at me all the time, this is not popular in our courtyard." Xu Damao was unmoved.

Someone in the crowd immediately followed up: "Why not, the second uncle's house is so bright!"

Xu Damao replied directly: "Then I don't know, and I didn't invite me."

Xu's father and Xu's mother moved out in order to occupy the quota of the unit's housing allocation. Xu Damao was young and unmarried, so Liu Haizhong told Xu Damao to invite his parents to dinner, but he didn't come, so Xu Damao gave him 2 cents as a gift .

The third master followed closely: "New year, new events and new weather, Da Mao, your family does not lack these three melons and two dates, what about it?"

Xu Damao cast a sideways glance at the third master: "It must be said that he is in his early twenties this year."

All of a sudden, he hit Yan Bugui's death spot. The eldest son of the old Yan family, Yan Jiecheng, was also of age and was about to start a blind date. The next wedding ceremony in the courtyard was likely to be his family. Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot?

He Yuzhu, who is now older, was automatically ignored.

The second uncle couldn't bear it any longer: "I said Xu Damao, your family eats meat so badly, who in the courtyard eats better than yours, what's wrong with treating the big guy to a meal to satisfy your cravings? Besides, this is you It's just a once in a lifetime, I said you are not usually a stingy person."

Lou Xiao'e was still watching the theater there, and she didn't feel that her family was being targeted. Her family's previous door errands had a lot of courtesy and courtesy.

Xu Damao said directly: "Yes, I can manage the cost of the meal. The key is, our old saying is good, you can't break the rules, right? If I invite you, what about silly Zhu? What about Yan Xiecheng, the second uncle? There are two more at home, there will be a lot of things going on in the yard!"

This is very reasonable, with a dozen young men and so many old people, weddings and funerals will be indispensable every year in the future, and once it starts, it will not end well.

The uncle cleared his throat and said, "Da Mao is right. This matter depends on one's will. The situation of each family is different. Some have good conditions and some have bad conditions. Those who have bad conditions have weddings and funerals." What’s the matter is to invite everyone to have a cornbread, and no one will say anything, the conditions are good, please have a good meal, and it’s good if everyone is lively, everything is voluntary!”

Speaking of this, the crowd became noisy, Xu Damao still served Lou Xiaoe leisurely, peeling melon seeds and kernels, no more quarreling.

Embarrassed by being pointed at by everyone, Lou Xiaoe asked Xu Damao in a low voice if he wanted to treat her, Xu Damao shook his head.

The stick behind Xu Damao heard it and shouted directly: "Aunt Xiao'e said that she wants a treat!"

More than half of the people in the courtyard rushed over excitedly, some held Xu Damao's hand in gratitude, some kept complimenting her, and some praised Lou Xiao'e's beauty.
