"Forget it then." The third aunt was feeling sorry for Tea Leaf, and she felt happy when she heard this.
"Don't worry, if you don't want to drink tea, why don't you put some brown sugar?" Mrs. Jia Zhang curled her lips.
"..."
The third aunt couldn't run a house, so she could only give Yan Bugui a questioning look.
The Yan family has a brown sugar jar, but it can only be opened twice a year.
Pinch a handful on the night of New Year’s Eve and a pinch on the morning of New Year’s Day.
It is usually sealed and cannot be opened.
Yan Bugui's face darkened again, and the corners of his mouth trembled twice.
He really couldn't bear it, but for the sake of Yan Jiecheng's marriage, he finally nodded.
"Look what I'm doing. Didn't you see that my sister-in-law has a stomachache? Hurry up and pour some brown sugar tea!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang drank brown sugar tea and said happily: "Old Yan, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, look, it's not too late. It's time to get married. I've checked the old almanac. The fourth day of the next month is a good day. How about letting the two children handle the wedding?" Yan Bugui road.
It turned out that he was stimulated by Li Weidong, and Jia Zhang could understand.
That guy Li Weidong is so annoying. He picked up such a good wife for nothing.
"Isn't the fourth day of the Lunar New Year next weekend? Isn't this a bit urgent?
Although Cuihua didn't have any family members, she was still Huanghua's daughter and she wanted to be honorable. "
As she spoke, Jia Zhang lifted her right leg up to her left leg, shook her right foot rhythmically twice, put her hands on her knees, and said, "Hurry up and add more money!" 'Look.
Knowing that Mrs. Jia Zhang wanted to open her mouth again, the third aunt hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I think you grew up watching..."
Jia Zhang knew that the introduction fee of 2 yuan was already a sky-high price.
It is impossible to collect wool from the old Yan family again.
Besides, Cuihua’s uncle promised an introduction fee of ten yuan.
A matchmaker can earn twelve yuan. Besides her, Jia Zhang, who else is there in the capital?
"Look at what makes you nervous. Am I that kind of person? Let's do this. I'll go to Cuihua's house later, but then I will be the main seat at the wedding banquet. By the way, you will also give me My wife will arrange a place of honor."
There is no such rule in Beijing for a family to sit at two seats of honor.
However, Yan Bugui still nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will ask Jie Cheng and Cuihua to toast you a few more glasses at the banquet."
"Then just wait for my good news!" Mrs. Jia Zhang twisted her butt and left the Yan family.
I have to say that Jia Zhang's work efficiency is very high.
He came back in less than half an hour and told Yanbu that the Guicuihua family agreed to hold a wedding banquet on the fourth day of the next month.
Yan Bugui was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.
As long as his family holds a wedding banquet and Li Weidong doesn't hold a wedding banquet, then this face will be earned back.
As for how to hold a wedding banquet to save money, Yan Bugui has thought about it countless times in his mind.
The wedding banquet can be placed in the front yard.
Find a few big tables and bring Silly Zhu over to be the cook.
Buy two to three hundred catties of cabbage and radish from the market, and be more generous and buy seven or eight catties of meat.
"Look, a table can seat ten people. If each person gives a gift of 6 yuan, we can earn 5 yuan, which is 50 yuan for ten people. If we invite all the neighbors in the courtyard, we can at least earn One hundred, seventeen and eighty yuan.”
After Mr. Jia and Zhang left, Yan Bugui pulled the abacus beads and narrowed his little eyes with joy.
"...The gift of 6 yuan is too much. Will they pay it? When Old Liu next door got married, our family only handed over 2 yuan." The third aunt was worried.
"Can it be the same? Old Liu is a porter and does hard work. I am a teacher and an educated person, so my status is different." Yan Bugui glared at her and said, "Don't worry, I will write the gift money on the invitation later. The amount of money. The people in our compound are all respectable and will not be reluctant to part with this money."
Third aunt always feels inappropriate.
However, considering that Li Weidong has made so much money, and his family earns more than 100 yuan in gift money, is it not too much, right?
Without saying anything more, he stood up and helped Yan Bugui get red paper and pen and ink.
...
the other side.
After Li Weidong and Yu Li moved their things back to the backyard, a large group of neighbors who heard the news came to watch the fun.
When he learned that these items were dowry items from the Yu family, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
They all belong to the same compound, why is Li Weidong so lucky?
I picked up a daughter-in-law without spending any money, and the daughter-in-law’s family also gave her so many things.
Save many years of struggle!
The most angry person was Xu Damao.
When he married Lou Xiao'e, the Lou family pretended to be poor but didn't give her anything as a dowry.
As for the jewelry that the Lou family had hidden in his house, they could only look at it but not use it. Comrade Damao was so frightened!
Let’s look at Yu Li again. She comes from a good family background and her parents are very capable.
The more Comrade Damao thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he thought about it.
Soon I couldn't bear it any longer, ran home angrily, and kicked open the door fiercely.
"..."
Oh, Lou Xiao'e didn't come back from her parents' house, so forget it.
It's just that the poor elm door, after two angry kicks, is now overwhelmed.
"Plop", he fell down and almost hit Damao.
Damn, I still have to repair the door.
Comrade Damao wanted to cry but had no tears.
...
After smiling and dealing with the old lady and the young daughter-in-law who were watching the excitement, Li Weidong and Yu Li began to clean up the house.
Bits and pieces are easy to deal with, just put them in cabinets and on the table.
But the sewing machine is difficult to place. The house is not big and it is not suitable to be placed anywhere.
Finally, Comrade Yu Li made the decision and placed the sewing machine in front of the window.
The light here is good, and it can be used as a desk for the children in the future.
Unknowingly, Yu Li didn't notice that her thinking had changed.
In the past, she only thought about herself, but now when arranging anything, she first thinks about her children.
After setting up the sewing machine, Yu Li was still not idle. She stood at the sewing machine for a moment and frowned.
Then, take the rag and wipe the sewing machine from top to bottom until it is shiny.
That seriousness made Li Weidong happy: "Isn't it just a sewing machine? Does it deserve such respect?"
"You men don't understand..."
Yu Li smiled and wiped it a few times. She found that there was some dust on the bottom plate that could not be wiped off, so she picked up a wet rag and prepared to wipe it.
But he was stopped by Li Weidong and said: "I don't understand why the sewing machine is so important, but I understand the machine. It is full of metal parts. If water seeps in, the parts will rust."
"Hey, then I won't wipe it." Yu Li was so frightened that she quickly threw the linen aside.
However, she still didn't want to let go of the sewing machine, so she picked up another piece of white silk and started working on it.
Seeing that it was still early, Li Weidong didn't rush her.
After turning up the stove, I made a pot of tea and sat there watching Yu Li busy.
She stretched the fabric with one hand and gently turned the sewing machine head with the other.
The feet are not idle either. As they move up and down, the small feet are like fluttering butterflies.
The jet-black braid kept shaking on her shoulders.
This thing seems to be a rein, right?
Li Weidong thought of a good idea and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Don't ask, asking means getting on your horse and fighting in the world.
The warm winter sun shines through the glass windows into the house full of life.
"Da da da...", love flows in life.
Yu Li worked for half an hour before showing the finished product to Li Weidong.
It was a sewing machine cover.
Li Weidong: "......"
...
After buying all the big stuff, the next step is to apply for a license.
Driving without a license can easily result in a 404.
Li Weidong and Yu Li rode bicycles to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
First, he took out a large handful of White Rabbit toffee from the canvas bag and distributed it to the staff, and then handed over the letter of introduction and the household registration book.
The staff ate sweets, looked at them briefly, and then helped the two go through the marriage procedures.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau holding a marriage certificate that looked like a grand prize, the two walked hand in hand on the street.
A breeze blows, the leaves tremble, and the light spots on the ground are broken.
"Do you know what this is?" Li Weidong shook his marriage certificate.
"Marriage certificate?" Yu Li was confused.
"This is a legal driving license, just like a driver's license... Hehe..." Li Weidong glanced sideways at his cute little wife.
Yu Li thought of what she had said a while ago, and naturally understood what this man meant, and whispered shyly and coquettishly: "I hate it~"
