Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 424 Silly Zhu’s Marriage

"Zhuzi, what are you thinking? Are you really going to marry that Ezi? Are you going to regret it?"

Silly Zhu sat on the stool happily, and couldn't hold it in anymore after hearing this.

"Master, this is all clear. I, who is celebrating the Chinese New Year, have brought people to the compound to visit you, and I also had drinks with his father. Of course, this matter is settled. I regret it. I, stupid Zhu, can't do this. It’s not like you have an asshole. Besides, Ezi is such a nice person. It’s not like you two haven’t seen him before, and he’s very irritating to others.”

The first man was silent for a while and then spoke again, "Others in the compound may not know, but I know it very well. His father is Lou Bancheng. He is a veteran capitalist. Why don't you think carefully about your father..."

The first man stopped in time, but Shazhu suddenly became confused. What does this have to do with his father.

"What's wrong with my father? He also married a capitalist girl? Didn't he leave with Aunt Bai? I never heard that Aunt Bai is a capitalist."

The eldest mother quickly interrupted. "What do you mean, sir, why don't you ask your father about such a big matter?"

"My dad? Does he still remember his two children? Why ask him about this? I can decide for myself. This matter is settled. You two are just waiting to drink my wedding bar."

Shazhu originally planned to go to Baoding in March or April, but Lou Xiao'e refused to do it in May, and his thoughts faded away. He would just find a time to inform him later.

The uncle snorted, "Zhuzi, you can't say that. How can you not let your father know about this important wedding? Besides, it's true that your father ran away due to special circumstances, but he still has you two in mind." Brothers and sisters, haven’t I been sending you living expenses for so many years? Or did you stop it after you went to work? "

Silly Zhu was probably also recalling what happened that year, so he didn't answer immediately and waited for a while.

"What you said is true. When the time comes, I will go and send a message. If he wants to come, he can come. I won't stop him. If he does come, I will take Ezi and serve him tea. That's fine. It’s not like I was born in vain.”

The eldest mother smiled with satisfaction, "I knew Zhu Zhu was a sensible person."

The uncle said, "Again, do you think so highly of this capitalist's daughter? You have a good job, and your salary has been increased several times. Now it is 49 yuan, but this city is not low, what? If you can't find one like this, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble in the future if you really want to find a capitalist's daughter. You'd better think about it again. "

Seeing that Silly Zhu's eyes were a little unhappy, the first man didn't take it seriously and added.

"Don't blame your uncle for being nosy. As the saying goes, it would be better to demolish ten temples than break up one marriage. Your uncle also understands this truth, but this is the daughter of a capitalist, a big capitalist. If you really want to marry into the family, I'll have a hard time with you in the future. If you're willing, I can introduce you to a few. I think Liu Yuhua from Workshop No. 7 is pretty good. I'll introduce him to you. Don't worry about the capitalist's daughter."

The eldest mother originally wanted the eldest brother to help organize Luo Shazhu's marriage, but it sounded wrong. My wife didn't want Shazhu and Ezi to get married, and she still persuaded them to break up at this time.

Somewhat unable to stay any longer, he said, "You two are chatting. It's been a while since Zhuzi chatted with your uncle. I'll go for a run and buy some food and drinks while you two drink some wine and chat slowly. Lao Yi, what's the matter?" Listen to what the child thinks, I’ll come as soon as I can.”

After saying that, he glared at the older man. The older man understood that his wife was blaming him for being a bad person in his marriage, and he didn't express his opinion.

"Be careful on the road and just pack some bulk liquor."

Silly Zhu looked like you were telling me your truth, but I couldn’t listen to it, and it was going in one ear and out the other. The uncle was not discouraged and continued to ask.

"Please reply, don't think that your uncle is annoying people. You want to get married and you come here to interfere. I am definitely doing it for your own good. You have finally become a worker, but please don't bother yourself anymore." "Have you forgotten what happened last year?"

Silly Zhu wrung his hands and watched the children playing outside the door. He didn't answer, but he felt a little annoyed.

"Zhuzi, we have watched you grow up. I really don't want you to step into the mud pit. Your uncle, aunt and the old lady in the backyard are still counting on you."

Seeing the first uncle talking about this, Shazhu couldn't help but speak.

"Master, I appreciate your kindness. I definitely take your family's and the old lady's affairs to my heart. You don't need to tell me about this. I am like a mirror in my own mind. We act in the light and we should be filial to you and the old lady. , this one didn’t run away.”

The old man still refused to give up, "If you don't look at that Liu Yuhua from Workshop No. 7, he will love you, have a good family background, and know how to live a good life. He is definitely more reliable than a capitalist's daughter. This kind of person can stay with you for the rest of his life."

"Liu Yuhua from workshop seven? Who is this? I don't know him."

Silly Zhutou didn't even raise his head, so the elder continued.

"She is Liu Cheng's daughter in our workshop. Look at the whole family. They are all workers and they are all paid. You have no burden. How suitable. His brother is also a worker in our factory. Don't you, Mr. He, have only a few relatives? Now, the steel rolling mill has several more relatives.”

Silly Zhu rolled his eyes and remembered, "Liu Cheng, I remember, isn't it that big fat man? I seem to have some impression of what you said. The woman who ate with him should be his daughter."

The first man asked hopefully, "Yes, it's her. How about it?" Silly Zhu said angrily.

"That fat man, sir, you are really successful. That's Zhu Bajie and his second aunt, okay, I won't do it, right?"

"He has good character and knows how to live a good life. He is a little fat, but his body and bones look good for fertility. You can think about it again."

Silly Zhu was a little anxious, "You have a good character and know how to live a good life. Let's do this. Master, divorce your aunt and leave this fat girl alone. If you don't know how to prepare, I can give you a big fat boy." "

The first man raised his fist and punched Silly Zhu hard. Silly Zhu subconsciously raised his hand to stop him.

"You're looking for a slap, kid."

Silly Zhu was not angry, "I can't prepare for it, I really can't prepare for it."

The first man was a little anxious after being told that he still wanted to take action. Silly Zhu knew that it was not okay to take action and to fight back, but it was not possible to get beaten. Although the first man was old, he had been working as a fitter all his life, so he did not have this strength. Younger than him, he hurriedly circled around the room. Seeing the funny look of the two of them, the elder had to stop and pointed at Silly Zhu's nose.

"You kid, why are you so ungrateful? Your uncle has lived a lifetime and has seen these things clearly. Let me just say this. I have no objection to the girl you mentioned, but the composition of his family is definitely a big one. "Trouble, you may be ruined for the rest of your life." Silly Zhu then said happily, "Master, I understand what you said. Not to mention that their family is now a reformed national capitalist. You don't use the word national capitalist." You know, it’s just like us. She’s doing well now. She’s really like us. Otherwise, she can work in our factory.”

The first man was a little confused by the new term, and Shazhu continued.

"She works in our factory. What does this mean? No matter who her father is, she is a working class person. She didn't run away. I am also a working class person. It's okay for two working class people to marry. I don't care who her father is. I married her. It's her, not her father. Doesn't it matter who her father is? Tell me if this is true."

Listening to this, the first man felt a little awkward, but it was not unreasonable, so he asked doubtfully.

"Who did you listen to? Are you really okay?"

Silly Zhu did not confess to Zhu Xuefeng, knowing that the elder still had some feelings for the old Zhu family, so he said with a smile.

"As soon as we started talking, I asked around. Who doesn't know that this matter is very troublesome? Let me tell you, Lao Xu's family in the backyard even went to the door to ask for marriage. That old man is a shrewd person. This kind of thing He can’t ask more clearly.”

Speaking of this, the first man felt relieved, sighed, sat down and took a sip of tea.

"I believe Lao Xu, if nothing else, he will definitely not be confused about this kind of thing. If that's the case, I don't have to worry about it. I won't stop you, Zhuzi, don't take it to heart. , you should understand what your uncle is thinking."

Seeing that the elder no longer pressed, Shazhu returned to his cheerful expression and said quickly.

"You and Auntie are both doing good for me. I understand this. If it hadn't been for your help over the years, it's hard to say whether my sister and I would have survived. What I just said was nonsense. Don't take it to heart. Go, don’t tell Auntie, or I won’t be able to see you in the future.”

The old man smiled and said, "You are a bastard, you have never been able to keep your mouth shut, and you dare to spout any nonsense. If you are shameless, I will be shameless. Let's do this. Now that you are convinced, let's discuss this marriage. what to do."

Silly Zhu was happy, "I was just thinking about finding an opportunity to discuss this matter with you. You said that we, brother and sister, are the only elders of yours in the capital. There are some things that I really need to trouble you to come forward. By the way, I forgot to tell you, sir. My wife also supports this matter, but she said that she is old and physically inconvenient, and there are some things she cannot do. "

The old man was stunned, "You boy, if you didn't tell me about such a big thing earlier, others wouldn't be clear about it. The old lady must see it clearly and she can agree. I have nothing to say now. Let's talk about it." What happens behind this..."

The aunt came back after buying some food and drinks, and listened to the two men starting to discuss what to do about the wedding. Then she smiled knowingly. It seemed that the old man had listened to her words. It was good. This is a family.

"Come, come, come, go a little late, there are not many things left, so I just went to the market, the supply and marketing cooperative and the non-staple food store are closed."

Just a little bit of pig sesame and pig head meat, the two of them started drinking, while the eldest mother looked on happily.

"Don't worry about the best man and bridesmaid. My sister promised to find some classmates, and I will find the best man in the factory."

"That's a good relationship. It's easier for you young people to do this on your own than us old guys. It's time to clean up your house. Look at the third uncle, it's almost finished now."

Silly Zhu giggled, "Originally I planned to do it in March and April, but Bu'ezi is going on a business trip and will definitely not be back on May Day, so I'm putting it off now. It's not appropriate to do it too early. It's not the day yet. , this new house has been messed up and dirty again, and I think it will be time to find someone to start the construction in August or September. We don’t want to make a big fuss, we just need the house to be new. "

"Then have you decided who to look for?"

Silly Zhu nodded, "I said hello to Uncle Xue, who helped renovate Lao Zhu's house last time. He said that arrangements have been made. The construction will start in August and be completed in mid-September at the latest. I think it's okay. The furniture has been delivered to me early. They have stopped working now, and it should be close to starting again in July or August.”

"You kid, you've prepared quite carefully. You don't intend to use us old guys."

The elder saw that Shazhu had already arranged all the big things, and he felt a little emotional.

"How can that be possible? These are all Ezi's ideas. A big old man like me can't think of such things. There are some old etiquette things that we can't do anything about. We have to trouble you to come forward."

The first uncle became interested and said, "Tell me how far this old man has come, and let's sum it up."

The few of them chatted about the marriage procedures together for a while, but everything was finalized one by one. Shazhu was very happy. The matter was settled smoothly today, and she was waiting for Ezi to come back and tell her the good news.

"This matter will be handled in the courtyard when the time comes. According to his father's wishes, all the neighbors will be taken care of. Don't make a fuss outside. The dowry will be converted into money. If you bring some small items, it will be done quietly. Send it here to avoid causing trouble."

"It seems that his father is also aware of his situation. It's okay. This old man should be a smart man. Zhuzi, I am a little confident that you can survive the rest of your life."

The eldest mother complained when she saw that the uncle was still talking like this at this time.

"If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. It will sound like you, Zhuzi. I've been talking for a long time. You are a quilter who is afraid of showing off and is not prepared. You don't make arrangements either."

Silly Zhu slapped his head and said, "Oh, after all calculations, one thing has really been exposed. Fortunately, the situation has changed, otherwise it would have been a joke."

"Well, you have arranged your marriage properly, and our family can't help. When the time comes, these new quilts and mattresses will come from our family, and then I will take Qin Huairu and arrange them for you. Well, their family is having trouble now, so they can just make quilts and mattresses, and they happen to have a sewing machine at home.”

The elder slapped his thigh and said, "It's an idea. It's not easy for her mother to drag three children by herself. By the way, she also has a younger sister. She can't open her mouth about this matter. My wife, you have to take the initiative to talk about it."

The eldest mother nodded and suddenly said, "Speaking of her sister, Lao Yi, Jingru came to me specifically for this matter. See if you can help with this matter?"

Silly Zhu had now completed what he had been thinking about, and he was so happy that he took the initiative to ask for help.

"Look for Zhu Xuefeng. I'm here. Don't look at me like that. I'll take her there. Even if this thing never happens, there should be many opportunities. I understand this brother best. In fact, he is very soft-hearted. Don't look at him treating Xu Damao. That thing was sent to jail and sentenced to fifteen years. If Xu Damao hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have bothered to deal with it. He was very busy. "

"Zhuzi, what are you talking about? Zhu Xuefeng sent Xu Damao in?" Both elders were shocked.
