Siheyuan: Security Chief, suppressing the whole courtyard

"Mengzi..."

"Still call me Mengzi?"

Zhang Chunmei blushed at this: "Didn't you say that we should get married first, then fall in love, and get along slowly?"

Hearing this, Li Meng smiled and raised the marriage certificate in his hand: "That's what I said, but for this, you have to shout out something new for me to hear."

Zhang Chunmei rolled her eyes at him with a mixture of shame and anger, but finally called out, "Boss."

"Oh, that's right." Li Meng held her face and kissed her.

"Oh, there are so many people here. We'll call the Bound-Foot Detective Team over later."

"What are you afraid of? We have a certificate, those little old ladies can't control us!"

As he was talking, an old lady wearing a red armband came over with a unfriendly look on her face.

The little triangular-eyed man glared and grabbed Li Meng's arm: "What are you doing!"

"Why do you mind me kissing my wife?" Li Meng raised the marriage certificate: "Did you see it? There's a certificate!"

The old lady glanced at the marriage certificate and her eyes widened: "What's wrong with having a certificate? You kissed in the street in broad daylight, what kind of behavior is this? You are promoting a bad social atmosphere and destroying the construction of the community! Come on, follow me!"

"What are you doing? Is it illegal for me to kiss my wife?"

"It's not against the law, but I must criticize you with my comrades for your behavior!"

Zhang Chunmei panicked when she heard this. Although it was not illegal, it would be embarrassing to be criticized.

On the contrary, Li Meng was not in a hurry. He broke free from the old lady's hand, turned around and hugged his wife horizontally, and raised his eyebrows at the old lady: "Fuck you, you treat a chicken feather as a token of authority, come and chase me if you have the guts!"

After saying that, he ran away, and the old lady almost fainted from anger.

"Stop it, you little bastard!"

"Don't run!"

The old lady was chasing after him, but how could she outrun a big boy like Li Meng?

Not to mention that Li Meng had the strength of an ox and a tiger, and he disappeared in less than a minute.

"Haha, boss, I think that old lady's mouth is crooked with anger." Zhang Chunmei was laughing happily in Li Meng's arms.

At first she was worried about being caught, but when she saw her husband running faster and faster, she felt relieved. She had long been annoyed with these bound-foot detectives who liked to show off their power, but she had never had the courage to do what Li Meng did.

"Is it fun, wife?"

Li Meng let Zhang Chunmei down.

"It's fun!" Zhang Chunmei laughed, "But you can't do this all the time. People always say that the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little ghosts are hard to deal with. If you really offend these little old ladies, you'll be in trouble."

"Well, I was just teasing that old lady. We both had a marriage certificate, but she kept putting the blame on me. I must have saved her during peacetime, otherwise I would have kicked her out long ago."

"Boss, it's not nice to hit someone."

"I know, I just said that, wife, let's go home."

"Let's buy something before we go back." Zhang Chunmei said, "Now that we've got the marriage certificate, we need to prepare some food and drinks for the wedding banquet. We should also buy some White Rabbit candies and give them to the people in the courtyard when we go back."

[Choose 1, hold a banquet, reward: Bajiquan mastery.]

[Choice 2, no banquet, reward: Saint-level medical skills.]

The prompt tone suddenly sounded.

Both rewards are good.

But Li Meng already has the strength of an ox and a tiger, so using boxing skills would be useless.

Instead, it was the master-level medical skills that attracted him.

With this medical skill, are you still worried that you can't cure the birthmark on your wife's face?

"Why hold a banquet?" Li Meng said, "It's not worth spending that much money. It's not even enough to collect the share. Isn't frugality advocated now? Then we should respond to the country's call to put an end to extravagance and waste. Frugality comes first. We can just buy enough for our family to eat. Besides, from what you said, there are really not many good people in the whole compound. Inviting them to a banquet? They are so beautiful."

Zhang Chunmei also thought so. She was different from the fairies in later generations. Women only get married once in their lives. They have to have a sense of ceremony and not leave any regrets in their lives.

Zhang Chunmei didn't have that idea at all. She could see that her husband didn't want to hold a wedding banquet because he was worried about her and was angry with the residents in the courtyard.

Then I thought that now is a year of disaster, so it would be helpful to save some money.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Nowadays, there are many people who get married but don't have a wedding banquet. So let's buy some White Rabbit milk candies and hand them out as wedding candies when we get back."

"White Rabbit Milk Candy? That's too cheap for them, do they deserve it?" Li Meng laughed, "What kind of candy is not candy? Buy some rock candy and make do with it. Give one piece to each family to let them know that you have a man."

Hearing this, Zhang Chunmei glanced at Li Meng and couldn't help but chuckled: "Boss, you're so smart, but isn't this too stingy? Won't the neighbors gossip about it?"

"Who dares to chew?" Li Meng said with a smile, "We are advocating frugality and putting an end to extravagance and waste. We are responding to the call of the country. If anyone dares to say that we are stingy, let him go to Xiyuan and argue with those grown men."

Seeing Li Meng's tough attitude, Zhang Chunmei nodded to show her agreement.

My heart is filled with a sense of security. With such a powerful man coming to take over the household, who in the yard can bully me in the future?

"Then let's go buy some rock candy! And a chicken, and we can celebrate at home."

"Okay, by the way, wife, you're not going to work today?"

"Well, I'm on vacation today."

The couple talked as they walked, and at the same time, vast knowledge like the ocean was poured into their minds. In the blink of an eye, Li Meng possessed master-level medical skills.

The knowledge included includes medical skills from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and even from the future.

Li Meng couldn't help but marvel at the profoundness of medical skills.

Both Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their merits and subtleties.

It even includes the art of incantation and so on.

Li Meng benefited a lot and couldn't help but look at his wife.

"Why are you staring at me?" Zhang Chunmei joked, "Why? Do you regret marrying an ugly woman like me so soon?"

"No." Li Meng smiled and said, "When I was a child, a Taoist priest passed by my house and asked for water to drink. He gave me a medical book. I studied it by myself for a while, and there was a folk remedy in it that could cure birthmarks."

"real or fake?"

"I lied to you that I was a puppy."

Zhang Chunmei smiled. Her parents had sought medical treatment for her face since she was a child. They had tried all kinds of folk remedies, but none of them worked.

At this moment, she could hear what her man said sincerely, but she didn't take it to heart.

But we should give it a try, what if?

"Well, let's try your remedy later. If it doesn't work, you'll become a puppy."

"Haha, okay, let's give it a try!"

Chapter 4 Yan Bugui: Have I met my match?

In the 60s when there was little entertainment, gossiping was one of the hobbies of most people.

At this moment, every household at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang knew that Zhang Chunmei had gone to get married with a wild man who had fled from the countryside.

Many old women and young wives gathered in the yard and talked about it.

"I've known for a long time that Chunmei would have such a day. City people look down on her." The third aunt said while sucking her teeth.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Actually, Chunmei is not bad looking, but she is ruined by the birthmark."

"It's useless to say that." Sha Zhu snorted, "Liu Yuhua from Workshop 7 of our factory, Zhu Bajie's second aunt, would look good if she lost weight, but the problem is that she can't lose weight, and the problem is that Chunmei's birthmark can't be removed."

"Who said it wasn't?" Second Aunt hugged her shoulders and said sarcastically, "Chunmei, you always bring home those refugees who are in trouble and almost freezing to death. To put it nicely, she has a good heart. To put it bluntly, she just wants to find a man among them. What's his name? Li Meng, right? I have to say that the boy is quite handsome, otherwise Chunmei would not agree to get married."

"Hey, hey, hey? Second Aunt, how can you talk like that?" Sha Zhu said, "Everyone in our compound knows that Chunmei is a kind-hearted person. Don't throw dirty water on her. Li Meng is quite handsome, but the ones she picked up before were also good-looking. Why didn't Chunmei say she would marry them? It seems that the two of them fell in love with each other. Besides, Chunmei not only saves men, but also saves women when she meets them!"

"Oh, maybe the previous ones didn't think highly of Chunmei?" said the second aunt.

"Please stop it." Sha Zhu rolled his eyes. "I'm almost starving to death. What do you think of me? Chunmei is not the kind of person you say she is. Just shut up."

"Hey? Silly Zhu, how are you talking to your elders like that? You're still speaking in a motherly tone. Who are you talking to?" The second aunt glared at him.

"Okay, her second aunt, don't be like Shazhuzi. And you, Shazhu, be careful when talking to your elders in the future. You have to respect them, okay?" Yi Zhonghai tried to smooth things over.

The third uncle Yan Bugui also echoed: "That's right, quarreling hurts the harmony."

While they were talking, Li Meng and Zhang Chunmei came into the compound carrying things.

Many young girls and wives who had never seen Li Meng were dazzled by his presence and thought that this young man was really handsome.

"Hey, are all the aunts here?"

Zhang Chunmei smiled and said, "It saves me from going door to door to hand out wedding candies. Let me introduce you all. This is my husband, Li Meng. We have already obtained our marriage certificate. Now is a year of disaster and life is not easy. We will not hold a banquet. We can just hand out some wedding candies to make everyone happy and share in the good cheer."

"Boss, this is the third uncle's wife, the third aunt, in the front yard."

"Hello, Auntie. Come and have some candy."

Li Meng took a piece of rock sugar and handed it over.

The three aunts were almost stunned.

"What? No wedding banquet? And, Chunmei, this is your wedding candy?" The third aunt looked at the rock candy in her hand, her eyebrows were almost twisted into knots. Is there really someone in this world who is more stingy than my man?

Li Meng smiled and said, "Yes, Third Aunt, that's right. In response to the country's call to put an end to extravagance and waste, we won't hold a banquet. It's just a gesture to hand out some candy. Rock sugar is also candy. It is sweetened with the joy of Chunmei and me, so it is wedding candy. What's wrong, Third Aunt, do you have any doubts about the country's call and the leaders' instructions?"

This sentence directly hit the third aunt's lungs. How could she dare to continue with this? She smiled awkwardly and glanced at her man.

Yan Bugui raised his glasses and saw that Li Meng was not someone to be trifled with. He smiled and agreed, "Well said. Yes, food is scarce these days. We should respond to the country's call and be frugal."

Zhang Chunmei introduced: "The head of the family, this is the third uncle who lives in the front yard, the primary school Chinese teacher, Mr. Yan Bugui."

"Hello, Mr. Yan."

Li Meng stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, while Yan Bugui's small eyes were fixed on Bingtang.

Yes, rock sugar is also sugar, and it is good to sweeten children’s mouths.

Unexpectedly, Li Meng said, "Teacher Yan, please don't look at me. Didn't I just give Auntie Three a piece of candy? You can't be poor if you have enough food and clothes, but you will be poor if you don't plan well. I have a rural household registration, and my family will have a hard time in the future. I dare not spend money recklessly. I didn't buy too much candy, and each family will share one piece. Please don't be surprised."

Yan Bugui: ???

I have met my match!

Damn, this brat is even more stingy than me!

It’s fine if we don’t hold a wedding banquet, and it’s fine if we give out rock sugar as wedding candy, but grandma’s rock sugar is only given one piece to each family?

Besides being angry, one couldn't help but feel a sense of heroes appreciating heroes, the old caring for the young, and sympathizing with each other.

"Haha, Cheng, you kid, you are a person who knows how to live."

Zhang Chunmei continued to introduce: "Boss, this is the eldest uncle of the Intermediate Court, Master Yi Zhonghai, a senior worker in our factory. He is very capable and highly respected both in the factory and in the courtyard."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Zhang Chunmei praising him like that, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly in satisfaction, and his back straightened a lot with his hands behind his back.

"What a coincidence! Today is Master Yi's birthday. As the head of the family, please give Master Yi two more pieces of candy."

"Okay." Li Meng handed over three pieces of rock sugar and said with a smile: "Master Yi, happy birthday. I wish you good fortune like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity like the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains. May you have this day every year, may you have children and grandchildren, and may your family be harmonious and happy."

Yi Zhonghai laughed at the first few sentences and nodded continuously, but his smile froze when Li Meng mentioned the words "a house full of children and grandchildren".

At the same time, many people laughed quietly, and Sha Zhu laughed out loud: "Chunmei, didn't you tell your husband that our uncle is a family extinct? These auspicious words are good, but having many children and grandchildren...tsk, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next life."

"You little brat, what are you talking about!" Yi Zhonghai raised his leg and kicked Sha Zhu in the butt.

Sha Zhu glared at me, "Hey? I'm telling the truth. Mengzi just came to our hospital and doesn't know the situation. It's okay for me to talk to him. I'm not cursing you to be extinct. You are already extinct."

Sha Zhu has a really foul mouth. No matter if it's his enemy or an elder or friend, he will just make fun of them without caring about anything else.

When talking to the deaf old lady, she would occasionally say: Then you have to kneel down and kowtow to me...or something like that.

"Hahaha......"

After Sha Zhu's interference, those who had been laughing quietly also burst into laughter.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned blue with anger.

Qin Huairu said, "Li Meng, Auntie is infertile, but Uncleie has never left her. They are the model couples in our hospital. Uncleie, don't blame Li Meng. He just arrived and doesn't know the situation."

After Qin Huairu said this, Yi Zhonghai's expression eased a little.

He said to Li Meng, "That's impossible. The young man is good and has a certain level of cultural literacy. Even those auspicious words are not something that ordinary people can say. Okay, you guys can chat. I have to go home to see if the medicine is ready. Your aunt is not in good health and is taking Chinese medicine."
