Sha Zhu nodded after hearing this. "Jian Chuan, you're right. I'll have Yu Shui pick up the old lady later, and we'll have a meal together!"

Faced with a contestant like Sha Zhu, whose thinking is rather one-dimensional, Ye Jianchuan could only try to persuade him patiently.

"This...isn't it a bit inconvenient? Most of the people here are our age, and we'll be having some drinks later."

On the one hand, I'm worried that if the old lady is there, we might feel a little awkward and uncomfortable.

On the other hand, if we drink and get drunk, we might accidentally bump into something. We're not afraid of minor injuries, but what if we hurt the old lady?

. ...... ...

Ye Jianchuan paused for a moment, then continued, "So, I think you should just bring some dishes over to show your respect to him later."

By the way, I just heard from Third Uncle that First Uncle is in the old lady's room right now. Why don't you just have First Uncle keep the old lady company while she eats? What do you think?

Sha Zhu had no other ideas. Ye Jianchuan had already said so, how could he refuse? He immediately nodded and agreed.

And then... that's how the scene just unfolded. Now the old lady was at a loss, left only to stare at the two plates of food in front of her, unsure whether to be happy or unhappy.

Unlike the two people at the old lady's house next door, Ye Jianchuan's side was quite lively. Sha Zhu, Ran Qiuye, Ye Jianchuan, Qin Huairu, the two little girls, plus Uncle San, this little group was basically all there.

Only He Yushui, who was about to go home after get off work, and Lou Xiao'e, who stayed in the courtyard today and did not return to the courtyard house, were left.

Because there was no preparation, there wasn't much fresh meat, but that didn't matter, Ye Jianchuan still had quite a few items in his inventory.

He pretended to rummage through the cabinet, and all sorts of things like cured meat, sausages, and spicy tofu came out.

With just these ingredients, plus some cabbage, potatoes, and the like, it didn't look like a particularly lavish meal, but it was still much better than what we usually ate.

Chapter 139 The Deaf Old Lady Understands, Wingman Qin Huairu

Not long after, He Yushui returned on her bicycle, and Sha Zhu quickly pulled Ran Qiuye aside and gave her a proper introduction to his younger sister.

The two sisters-in-law got to know each other and chatted for a bit. They found they had a lot in common, which made Sha Zhu feel even more at ease.

During the meal, Sha Zhu was teased by He Yushui from time to time, and with the addition of Uncle Ye Jianchuan's witty remarks, the atmosphere at the dinner was at its most lively.

And so, a sumptuous dinner ended amidst everyone's laughter and chatter. Although Sha Zhu had drunk a little, he still got up and pulled Ran Qiuye to the old lady's house next door.

The old lady had finished all the food that Sha Zhu had brought her and was sitting there lost in thought. As for Uncle Yi, he had probably already returned to the central courtyard. "167"

When the old lady saw Sha Zhu push the door open and come in with a girl by his side, she was filled with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, the old lady really cares about Sha Zhu, not only because Sha Zhu can help her and Uncle Yi in his old age, but more importantly because Sha Zhu reminds her of her grandson.

So, since Sha Zhu has found a wife, the old lady should naturally be happy for him.

On the other hand, the person who takes care of her every day is Aunt Yi, and Uncle Yi has taken care of her for so many years that she has long regarded Uncle Yi as her godson.

Even without Sha Zhu, there's still Uncle Yi to help take care of his retirement. But if his "godson" loses Sha Zhu, his retirement will truly become a problem.

So when she saw that Sha Zhu had found a wife, and that her godson might have no one to take care of him in his old age, the old lady couldn't be happy anymore.

However, Sha Zhu didn't notice that the old lady's mood was a bit off, and pulled Ran Qiuye to walk up to the old lady.

"Grandma, look! Weren't you worried that I wouldn't find a wife? I've found one now! Don't worry, even though I have a wife, I'll still take good care of you."

If you ever want to eat my cooking, just let me know, and I'll be there whenever you call!

As she spoke, she tugged at Ran Qiuye, who was well-educated and reasonable. Ran Qiuye immediately stepped forward and bowed to the old lady.

"Grandma, I've heard about you from Zhuzi. Thank you for taking care of Zhuzi in the past. Don't worry, even if I marry Zhuzi, we will still take good care of you."

Now, the old lady's heart, without her even realizing it, slowly began to tilt.

"Okay...good boy, you two are together now, so live a good life together."

"Madam, I'm not greedy, and you, Aunt Yi, take good care of me, so nothing will happen!"

And so, Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye stayed at the old lady's house for more than an hour, chatting with her, before Sha Zhu got up and took Ran Qiuye back home.

After more than an hour of interaction, the old lady's attitude changed dramatically!

The old lady discovered that Ran Qiuye not only had a very good personality, but was also able to keep Sha Zhu in check. With Ran Qiuye, this "smart person," helping Sha Zhu make decisions on important matters, there was no need to worry about Sha Zhu acting recklessly in the future!

As for Uncle Yi? Well, the old lady couldn't care less about Uncle Yi at this point, after all... if she really had to choose between the two, it seemed that Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye were more suitable.

. . . . . .

As Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye arrived at the deaf old lady's house, Qin Huairu seemed to have gotten addicted to being a wingman and immediately started teasing He Yushui.

"Rain, your brother's marriage is now completely settled, and you've already applied for early graduation and started working at the workers' store."

Haven't you started thinking about your own marriage yet? Our Deputy Director Ye is very sought after in the food factory!

"If you don't hurry up, your colleagues at the food factory might introduce him to someone he likes, and then it'll be too late for regrets!"

He Yushui was making all sorts of jokes, but she never expected that once her brother left, the fire would spread to her.

This caught He Yushui off guard. "Ah... I... this... Sister Qin! You're so mean!"

Seeing He Yushui's expression, Qin Huairu immediately gave Ye Jianchuan a meaningful look, which only made Ye Jianchuan more confused...

Because in Ye Jianchuan's view, his relationship with He Yushui was completely natural, so Ye Jianchuan had not made any preparations in this regard.

But just as Ye Jianchuan was hesitating, the Third Uncle spoke up again, "Jianchuan, I think what Xiao Qin said makes sense. Since you two both have this idea, why not just settle it directly!"

To be honest, when I was your age, your third aunt and I had already been married for almost half a year! Your third aunt is also two years younger than me!

You and Yushui are less than a year apart, so age is hardly an issue. Your brother's marriage is already settled; once they're married, it'll be up to you!

Third Uncle's words left Ye Jianchuan somewhat at a loss, while He Yushui suddenly became bolder at this moment.

"Alright! Since you've all said so, I'll also make my stance clear: I do like Brother Jianchuan, and I believe he definitely feels the same way about me!"

Since we both have feelings for each other, shouldn't we just let things take their natural course in the future?

As the saying goes, if two people are truly in love, why should they be together every day? There's no need to rush into talking about our relationship now!

I think we should wait until my silly brother is officially married before discussing my relationship with Jianchuan (2.5th brother)!

After mustering up the courage to speak her mind, He Yushui immediately turned into a quail again, shrinking back and turning her gaze to Ye Jianchuan.

Sensing He Yushui's gaze, Ye Jianchuan nodded. "Of course, once Brother Zhu and Teacher Ran's matter is settled, my matter with Yushui can naturally be put on the agenda!"

"I've already given the bride price in advance, I can't just let the rainwater go to waste, can I?"

Upon hearing Ye Jianchuan's words, Third Uncle burst into laughter, while He Yushui lowered her head shyly.

Ye Jianchuan then looked at Qin Huairu, who was also smiling at him and giving him a wink.

Now, Ye Jianchuan's evaluation of Qin Huairu as his 'wingman' will rise another level.

Chapter 140 Sha Zhu's Wedding, Jia Zhangshi's Banquet is Disgusting

This is actually the young widow's cleverness. As Ye Jianchuan's first woman, she knew that she was not good enough for him.

Instead of trying to force Ye Jianchuan to stay by her side, why not just be a woman who stays behind him?

In any case, given the 'abilities' Ye Jianchuan has demonstrated recently, he's guaranteed to never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of his life.

So instead of forcibly keeping Ye Jianchuan by her side and living in constant fear, she might as well think of a way to make Ye Jianchuan remember her kindness and make him never want to leave her.

In this way, even if Ye Jianchuan has other women in the future, her position will still be unshakeable.

. . . . . .

The lively meal finally came to an end, and it was from this meal that the deaf old lady completely gave up on the idea of ​​continuing to scheme against Sha Zhu.

As for Uncle Yi, without the deaf old lady's assistance, he couldn't find any opportunity to continue scheming against Sha Zhu for the time being.

But it's okay. Although he can't outsmart Shaju anymore, Uncle Yi hasn't been idle either! His 'good grandson' Bang Geng is still being trained to be 27, isn't he?

Once the pheasant is trained, I won't have to worry about my retirement!

When both Grandpa Yi and the deaf old lady fell silent, Sha Zhu was immediately 'liberated'. Over the course of a few days, Sha Zhu not only carried his things back to the Ran family with Ran Qiuye, but also paid his respects to his future in-laws.

He even got the letter of introduction ready at his workplace, and was just waiting for his parents-in-law to ask them for an auspicious date so they could go get their marriage certificate and that would be it!

Okay, this "auspicious day" and all that, Sha Zhu was a little resistant after hearing it, after all, you can't believe in this kind of thing at this time!

However, this is a traditional custom among ordinary people, so as long as you don't openly promote it on the street, there shouldn't be any problem.

Compared to Sha Zhu, Ye Jianchuan's life was much more 'rich'. In addition to his regular work every day, Ye Jianchuan also had to accompany Director Zhou to 'visit' some factories nearby.

Factory Director Zhou naturally went to the factory for a meal, while Ye Jianchuan had a more demanding task: to go down to the factory and gather information.

For a food factory, news like the machine repair shop preparing to buy New Year's goods is very important.

After work, Ye Jianchuan was also busy. Lou Xiao'e dragged him to buy New Year's goods, and He Yushui dragged him to go boating in the park. He was very busy.

But despite the busyness, once Uncle Yi stopped scheming against them, the courtyard seemed to instantly become peaceful.

However, Ye Jianchuan also knew that behind this calm, there were actually all sorts of undercurrents. Although they were calm now, neither Uncle Er nor Xu Damao in the courtyard were good people!

If they find even the slightest opportunity, they'll definitely try to cause trouble.

. . . . . .

And so, the courtyard house enjoyed a rare two weeks of peace and quiet, during which everyone was finally able to settle down and live their lives peacefully behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, Sha Zhu took advantage of this time to successfully obtain his marriage certificate with Ran Qiuye and began preparing for the betrothal gifts and other related matters.

Over the years, Sha Zhu hasn't actually saved much money; he can't even afford a bicycle, which is quite pathetic.

Fortunately, Teacher Ran's family was a scholarly family, and they didn't place too much importance on the custom of betrothal gifts. So, after Sha Zhu went through the motions, the betrothal gifts he sent out became part of his dowry and were brought back by Teacher Ran.

Sha Zhu has successfully married his wife, but the wedding banquet hasn't been held yet! Sha Zhu has cooked countless wedding banquets for other people, but when it came to his own wedding, no one was cooking.

Although Sha Zhu is a cook, the groom can't possibly cook for himself, can he?

So, out of desperation, Ye Jianchuan approached Nan Yi again, asking him to come and help. With the help of Sha Zhu's two apprentices, they were able to manage the situation.

After all these matters were settled, with less than a week to go before the Lunar New Year's Eve, everyone in the courtyard finally managed to enjoy Sha Zhu's wedding feast.

However... some unpleasant things still happened during the wedding banquet.

Well, the most annoying unstable and disharmonious element in the courtyard house is probably Jia Zhangshi. When Sha Zhu invited the people in the courtyard house to a wedding banquet, everyone was very happy.
