Xiao Shan didn't participate in the commotion at the Intermediate People's Court; instead, he went straight home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got home and put down his book, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang came in.
Looking at the two of them, Xiao Shan asked with some curiosity, "What brings you two brothers here?"
“Xiaoshan, your room is still the warmest. My dad is reluctant to burn coal, and the room is like an icebox.” Yan Jiefang quickly went to the stove to warm himself.
Liu Guangtian did the same thing: "My dad isn't generous either. He wears a lot of clothes, so he burns less coal! But our house is still manageable."
"Guangtian, didn't you donate your stove?" Xiao Shan asked curiously.
Liu Guangtian said helplessly, "The weather is so cold now, my dad has no choice but to buy a new one!"
"Second Uncle is still rich!" Xiao Shan said with a smile.
Liu Guangtian said with a complaining tone, "What's the use of having money? It's not for me!"
Listening to Liu Guangtian's complaints, Yan Jiefang and Xiao Shan both showed expressions of sympathy.
Fortunately, Liu Tianguang was easygoing and his emotions came and went quickly: "Xiaoshan, want to eavesdrop tonight? I've never heard of it before."
Xiao Shan was speechless: "I'm not going! Didn't you guys go to Jia Dongxu's wedding before?"
“Aunt Jia is guarding the door outside, who would dare to go in!” Yan Jiefang said with a hint of regret.
Liu Guangtian nodded and said to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, if you're not going, then the two of us will go!"
"I'm not going, you guys go!" Xiao Shan shook his head like a rattle drum. "It's freezing cold, don't catch a cold if you don't hear me!"
Seeing Xiao Shan's determination, Liu Guangtian had no choice but to give up the idea of taking him along: "What you said makes sense! We'll see when the time comes. If the weather is too cold, we won't go."
After warming themselves up, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang went outside.
Just after the two left, He Yuzhu arrived with Li Caijuan.
"Xiaoshan, you're fast! I just saw you at the door, and now you're warming yourself by the fire at home!" He Yuzhu said to Xiaoshan from the doorway. "I'm treating three old men and Brother Jia to dinner tonight, and you have to come too! Without your idea, I wouldn't be getting married so early!"
Xiao Shan nodded: "No problem! I have to drink a glass of your and your sister-in-law's wedding wine."
"Okay, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I have to go to the old lady's house."
He Yuzhu turned and left with Li Caijuan, closing the door behind him as he did so.
The deaf old lady had heard the noise long ago.
Upon hearing that He Yuzhu was getting married, the deaf old lady was genuinely happy for him.
At the same time, I felt a little melancholy.
He Yuzhu was good to her, and she also hoped that He Yuzhu would be doing well.
However, Yi Zhonghai and his wife brought him food and drinks every day.
The deaf old lady understood Yi Zhonghai's thoughts: she felt that Jia Dongxu's mother was unreliable, and He Yuzhu was a backup plan.
They wanted to find a wife for He Yuzhu whom they knew well, but they hadn't found one they were satisfied with.
As a result, He Yuzhu got married quietly.
Hearing a knock at the door, the deaf old lady said, "Come in, the door is open!"
The door was pushed open, and He Yuzhu walked in with Li Caijuan.
Looking at the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu said happily, "Grandma, I'm married! This is my wife, Li Caijuan. Caijuan, this is the old lady. She often takes care of me and Yushui in the yard. She's even better than my own grandmother."
The deaf old lady smiled broadly, patting Li Caijuan's hand repeatedly: "She's a good girl! If Zhuzi acts up, come and tell me, and I'll beat him with a stick!"
Then the deaf old lady took out a slightly dull gold bracelet from a box under the bed and put it on Li Caijuan's wrist.
"This is something I wore when I was young, and now I'm passing it on to you! Live a good life with Zhuzi!"
Hearing the deaf old lady's words, Li Caijuan was also moved.
At the same time, she tried to take off the bracelet, saying, "Grandma, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
The old lady grabbed Li Caijuan's hand and said, "I'm almost in my grave, and I have no children. It's a waste to keep him here. Zhuzi is like my own grandson. When he gets married, it's perfectly reasonable for Grandma to give him a gift!" Li Caijuan had no choice but to look at He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Take it. It's a small token of the old lady's appreciation. It's better to be more filial to her in the future than anything else."
Li Caijuan eventually accepted the bracelet.
Then He Yuzhu said to the deaf old lady, "Grandma, don't cook dinner tonight, come to my place for dinner! I've invited three old men, Brother Jia, and Xiaoshan, we'll have a big feast together."
"Oh, being able to attend my grandson's wedding banquet makes my life worthwhile!" The deaf old lady smiled from ear to ear. "Come pick me up then."
He Yuzhu nodded: "Okay, you can wait at home! We'll be going now, there are still a few families we haven't handed out wedding candy to!"
"Go ahead and do your work, don't waste my time with me."
The two left the old lady's house and headed straight for Xu Damao's house.
At Xu Damao's doorstep, Li Caijuan warned him, "Zhuzi, you mustn't hit anyone!"
"I'll listen to you, I won't hit him!" Although He Yuzhu was angry that Xu Damao was secretly sabotaging him, he still chose to listen to his wife.
After all, today is my big day, it's not right to hit someone!
He Yuzhu knocked on Xu Damao's door.
"Who is it?" Xu Damao asked as he opened the door.
Upon seeing that it was He Yuzhu, Xu Damao felt guilty: "He Yuzhu, what do you want?"
"Hey buddy, I'm here to bring you some wedding candy! How about that? Pretty thoughtful, right?" He Yuzhu shoved a handful of candy into Xu Damao's hands. "Now that I'm getting married, I'll be carrying a big, healthy baby boy next year. You'll be so envious when my son calls me 'Dad'!"
Watching He Yuzhu and Li Caijuan leave, Xu Damao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Could it be that Li Caijuan didn't tell He Yuzhu about me talking badly about her behind her back? Impossible!"
After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Xu Damao closed the door, turned around, and went back into the house.
Xu Damao peeled open a piece of candy and chewed it fiercely, as if he were biting He Yuzhu.
"He Yuzhu, you idiot, I'm getting married soon too!" Xu Damao said angrily. "I'll be the first to hold your son, and then you can show off!"
In fact, Xu Damao had been dating for longer than He Yuzhu.
However, her boyfriend's family had been evaluating her for a while, which is why it took so long!
"No, I have to speed things up and get my father-in-law to marry Xiao'e to me as soon as possible!" Xu Damao stopped drinking and pushed his bicycle out the door.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he sat in a chair with a dark expression, lost in thought.
An older woman came in, looked at Yi Zhonghai, and sighed: "Old Yi, don't overthink it, we still have Dongxu!"
"It's a good thing that Zhuzi is getting married. He'll be twenty-four after the New Year. If we want him to support us in our old age, we need to be sincere. This constant strain isn't a good thing!"
"Zhu Zi is a kind-hearted person. If we treat him well, why would we worry that he won't care about us when we get old? From now on, we'll just treat Zhu Zi and his wife well!"
Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly: "He Yuzhu's wife is no simpleton! From their first blind date until now, this girl has never come once, and Zhuzi has never told anyone. They got married quietly."
"They didn't even tell me, an old man like myself. Who are they trying to keep an eye on?"
“Old Yi, this isn’t necessarily a targeted attack!” the older woman continued to advise. “Zhu Zi isn’t one to keep secrets. You can subtly inquire about it during dinner tonight.”
"Okay, sure." Yi Zhonghai nodded.
As darkness fell, Xiao Shan took a slaughtered goose from the kitchen cabinet, picked it up, and went out.
Thanks to the new goose plush toys that were recently added to the group's online store, Xiao Shan wouldn't know what gift to give He Yuzhu!
He Yuzhu and Li Caijuan had just returned from grocery shopping, carrying pork, a rooster, and a bag of eggs.
These days, vegetables are scarce in winter; it's mostly Chinese cabbage and radishes.
"Brother Zhu, you're back!" Xiao Shan handed the goose to He Yuzhu. "I didn't prepare any gift for your wedding, so let me add a dish for you! How about a braised goose in an iron pot?"
Taking the goose from Xiao Shan, He Yuzhu said happily, "Xiao Shan, you've really helped me out! This goose is quite plump, we can have more dishes tonight! Look forward to tasting my cooking tonight."
"Okay, then I'll wait to eat."
That evening, there was a knock on the door: "Xiaoshan, come to my house for dinner! I'm going to carry the old lady on my back."
"Okay, Brother Zhu, I'll be right there."
After putting down the books he had borrowed that day, Xiao Shan closed the door and slowly walked to the central courtyard.
At He Yuzhu's house, the three old men and Jia Dongxu had already arrived.
He Yushui and Li Caijuan were still busy.
Looking at the three old men, Xiao Shan joked, "All three old men are here? This is a rare sight, only seen during a hospital-wide meeting."
Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Xiaoshan, stop teasing your three uncles, hurry up and sit down! Zhuzi went to carry the old lady."
Liu Haizhong, adopting the tone of a leader, coughed twice and said, "Xiaoshan is here, please sit down!"
Xiao Shan found a stool and sat down.
After chatting for a while, He Yuzhu carried the deaf old lady in.
Yi Zhonghai quickly stood up and arranged a seat for the deaf old lady.
Xiao Shan and the others also stood up and pretended to help.
Whether or not we can actually help, at least we have to make an appearance of it.
Just then, Li Caijuan came out of the kitchen: "Perfect timing, the last egg drop soup is ready, we can eat now!"
He Yuzhu got up and followed Li Caijuan to serve the dishes from the kitchen.
Looking at the table laden with meat dishes, Yan Bugui's eyes lit up: "Zhuzi, this is definitely the best thing you can do for your wedding banquet!"
Yan Bugui gave a thumbs up: "It's all meat and vegetables. Even during the Spring Festival, not many people get to eat this well!"
Hearing Yan Bugui's praise, He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Xiaoshan brought me a big goose, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to gather so many dishes!"
"Xiao Shan is really generous; he managed to get geese in this weather! My Guangtian is just a good-for-nothing; all he does is eat and never gives me a moment's peace." While praising Xiao Shan, Liu Haizhong didn't forget to put down Liu Guangtian.
All I can say is that in Liu Hai's heart, Liu Guangqi is truly his only son!
He Yuzhu poured everyone's drinks, and even the old lady and Li Caijuan were given a glass of wine. Only He Yushui drank tea.
"Grandma, gentlemen, Brother Jia, Xiaoshan, thank you all for taking care of me in the courtyard before. I, He Yuzhu, am now officially married. I'll drink this cup in one gulp!" With that, He Yuzhu finished the cup of wine in one go.
Watching He Yuzhu put down his wine glass, the deaf old lady said to Li Caijuan sitting next to her, "Caijuan, I watched Zhuzi grow up! Everyone says he's a scoundrel, but I think he's just too kind. He can't stand seeing others scheme and plot! He's too straightforward and easily offends people."
“Caijuan, you and Zhuzi have been together for a while now, you should have realized that Zhuzi doesn’t have a bad heart at all, it’s just that his mouth makes him too easy to offend people!”
"You need to keep a closer eye on him from now on, and make him talk less, observe more, and do more!"
Li Caijuan said with a smile, "Grandma, you're absolutely right! Zhu Zi's troubles all stem from his loose tongue!"
“I married him because he is kind and good-hearted. He may be sarcastic, but he has no bad intentions. I don’t worry about him being two-faced. He can just say what he wants directly.”
Yan Bugui put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "When I first saw Director Wang bring you here, nothing happened after that, and I was wondering about it! The girl is quite nice, and I think you two got along very well, so why don't you see her seeing Zhuzi?"
"Only today have I been able to clear up my doubts. Zhu Zi, you've been keeping this a secret for a long time."
Yan Bugui's words had an element of probing, but they were also just casual conversation.
This is also a question that many people at the table are wondering about.
Everyone looked at He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu glanced at Li Caijuan before slowly saying, "That's why Caijuan said she didn't want to cause a big fuss about the blind date, and told me to keep a low profile and not to make a fuss over nothing."
"After we got married, my wife told me that on the day of the blind date, Xu Damao went to my wife and said a lot of bad things about me!"
"Luckily, my wife is smart and didn't listen to Xu Damao's slander, which is why we had the chance to be together!"
Li Caijuan also told He Yuzhu about Xiao Shan speaking up for him.
However, Li Caijuan also told He Yuzhu not to tell anyone about this, so as not to cause trouble for Xiaoshan.
Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Liu Haizhong immediately became agitated: "A person like Xu Damao should be criticized at a hospital-wide meeting! Today he can speak ill of Zhuzi in front of Caijuan, tomorrow he can speak ill of others. Are the young men in our hospital even going to find partners or get married?"
Liu Haizhong was in such a hurry because his son, Liu Guangqi, was at the age where he needed to find a partner.
This is the eldest son of the Liu family, the future pillar of their family.
What if you encounter the same situation as He Yuzhu?
"Da Mao's handling of this matter was indeed unethical. How could he cause trouble for someone in his own courtyard?" Yan Bugui's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. "However, this matter is considered a scandal in our courtyard. For the sake of our courtyard's reputation, it's not appropriate to publicly punish Xu Da Mao!"
