Chapter 73 Marriage
He Yuzhu sent Song Jinfeng back to the entrance of the courtyard.
When they parted, He Yuzhu said to Song Jinfeng: "Let's get married after the Chinese New Year. Don't delay it any longer."
Song Jinfeng heard He Yuzhu's words and replied happily: "Okay."
After saying that, he ran into the courtyard.
He Yuzhu looked at Song Jinfeng with a silly smile as he ran into the courtyard and disappeared before his eyes, and then he came back to his senses.
"Yeah!" He Yuzhu shouted excitedly, got on his bicycle and left happily.
When he got home, Yuyu hadn't slept yet and was waiting for He Yuzhu to come back in the living room.
He Yuzhu looked at Yu Yu who was dozing by the fireplace: "You're so sleepy, why don't you go back to your room to sleep?"
Rainwater: "I'm waiting for you to come back. If you don't come back, I'll be scared at home."
He Yuzhu: "You are so old and you are still scared."
Rainwater: "I'm afraid you won't be able to come back tonight."
After talking about Yu Yu, he went into his room and went to sleep.
It seems that Yu Yu is worried that he will no longer be interested in his wife after marrying her.
In the next few days, in addition to regular visits to their elders, He Yuzhu and Song Jinfeng took Yuyu around for fun.
Happy time always passes quickly, and it’s time for He Yuzhu to go to work in the cafeteria. Years ago, he helped Master Songcheng get a lot of meat and fish in exchange for him being on duty for He Yuzhu during the New Year. Now that the New Year is over, He Yuzhu is on duty for Master Song.
After the Chinese New Year, the food in the city bureau canteen has not improved, and there is a vague trend of decline.
The director of the cafeteria, Zhao Sheng, has lost a lot of his hair and is becoming bald.
After He Yuzhu finished lunch, he saw Director Zhao frowning and smoking at the door of the cafeteria, so he approached him and asked, "What is Director Zhao doing here?"
Director Zhao looked up and saw He Yuzhu: "It's Zhuzhu. What are you doing during the Chinese New Year? I saw that Master Song is always on duty."
He Yuzhu: "Didn't I just find a partner? I can't accompany him during the Chinese New Year."
Director Zhao: "Have you found a partner? When will you get married?"
He Yuzhu: "In these few days, I have to find time to get the certificate, and I have to find the leader to get a letter of introduction."
Director Zhao: "This matter is easy to handle. Just contact Director Wang of the Logistics Department."
"Okay,"
Before he left, He Yuzhu saw that Director Zhao was still frowning, so he asked more eloquently: "Is there anything difficult for Director Zhao? Tell me and I will help you with your advice."
Director Zhao took a long drag on his cigarette: "Isn't it a matter of the canteen? You have also seen that the food standard has been lowered once, and it will be lowered again. If you can't get meat, how can you do your duty if you can't eat well?"
He Yuzhu: "What can we do with our little arms and legs? It's up to the leaders above to resolve this matter."
Director Zhao: "I told you, the leader can't solve it. Let yourself find a way."
He Yuzhu: "This is easy to handle. We are workers' security guards. We have guns in our hands and can arrange for people to go hunting in the mountains."
Director Zhao: "You don't have to say that, but there are not enough manpower, and it is dangerous to enter the mountain."
He Yuzhu: "Can't I buy it from the surrounding villages?"
"The surrounding villages don't have enough food for themselves, so how can anyone sell it?"
He Yuzhu saw the sparrows on the house: "Aren't we getting rid of the four pests now? Why don't we collect some sparrows to eat. Put some dried chili pepper in this thing and fry it to make it fragrant. Just deal with the troublesome part."
When Director Zhao heard He Yuzhu mention sparrows, he clapped his thigh happily: "Yes, sparrows are also meat, and there are so many sparrows, so it's easy to collect them."
"Zhuzi, you have helped me a lot. I will go find Director Wang first and thank you when I get back."
After speaking, Director Zhao hurried away.
Just as He Yuzhu was preparing to cook dinner in the afternoon, Director Zhao walked into the kitchen in a hurry and photographed the letter of introduction in front of He Yuzhu: "Zhu Zhu, I told Director Wang about collecting sparrows you mentioned. Director Wang thought we could try it. I'll open the letter of introduction for you by the way."
He Yuzhu put away the letter of introduction: "Thank you, Director Zhao."
"You're welcome, you've helped me a lot. You cook first, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Director Zhao said and left in a hurry.
In the afternoon of the next day, a lot of sparrows were delivered from the logistics department. Director Zhao called He Yuzhu out: "Zhuzhu, let's see how to deal with it."
He Yuzhu looked at the lively sparrows in the cage: "We must deal with it quickly. The sparrows are very angry and cannot be fed."
Director Zhao immediately found someone to help, and all the idle staff in the bureau were called out to help deal with the sparrows.
With more people and greater strength, it didn’t take long to clean up all the sparrows that had been collected.
In the evening, the canteen added a stir-fried sparrow dish. It was well received by everyone.
He Yuzhu also prepared fried iron sparrows and fried sparrows for the bureau leaders.
The bureau leaders also expressed satisfaction after eating and signaled Director Zhao to continue collecting sparrows.
In the next few days, there were dishes made by sparrows every day in the cafeteria.
He Yuzhu and Song Jinfeng also found a good day to go to the street office to get their marriage certificate.
Due to the current special situation, He Yuzhu and Song Jinfeng decided not to make a big deal out of it after discussing it. They just invited their relatives and friends to have a meal at home in a few days.
He Yuzhu also sent a telegram to He Daqing, telling He Daqing that he was getting married.
He Yuzhu has been busy unloading furniture at home these days and rearranged the room where He Yuzhu currently lives.
He Yuzhu also got an Invincible sewing machine from Zhou Jianye.
Time passed quickly. On the day of He Yuzhu's wedding, the second senior brother was in charge of the cooking.
In the morning, He Yuzhu led Zhou Jianye and the two senior brothers each on a bicycle towards the courtyard where Song Jinfeng lived.
Song Jinfeng also prepared early, and Director Zhou from the street accompanied her.
As soon as He Yuzhu arrived, he and Song Jinfeng took fruit candies and delivered wedding candies to each house in the courtyard. They said to the people in the courtyard: "In response to the call, we will keep the wedding simple and we will not hold a wedding. Share some wedding candies with each family to add some joy." .”
After sharing the wedding candies, He Yuzhu took Song Jinfeng home, while Zhou Jianye and others took Song Jinfeng's luggage.
Song Jinfeng's house in the large courtyard was handed over to the street office.
He Yuzhu took Song Jinfeng home, and there were already many people at home. Master's family, uncle's family, and Director Zhou are all here.
He Yuzhu had not seen He Daqing before the banquet started, and He Yuzhu was a little disappointed.
Song Jinfeng felt that He Yuzhu was a little disappointed, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed He Yuzhu's hand, looking at He Yuzhu with worry.
He Yuzhu also felt Song Jinfeng's worry and took a deep breath: "I'm fine. Let's go toast together."
The two of them were holding wine and toasting at the table. Just as they were finishing the toast, He Daqing arrived.
Uncle Peng Daqing was angry at He Daqing: "Zhuzi is getting married today, and you can be late."
He Daqing: "The train broke down and was delayed. I didn't mean to be late."
Fan Dakang was also angry, but he also had to worry about his apprentice's face: "Okay, just come."
He Yuzhu and Song Jinfeng walked up to He Daqing and called: "Dad."
He Daqing: "Okay, okay. I prepared this for my daughter-in-law." He Daqing handed Song Jinfeng a set of gold jewelry.
He Yuzhu said to Song Jinfeng: "Take it."
He Daqing sat at his uncle's table, and the wedding banquet continued.
The wedding banquet ended in the afternoon, and He Yuzhu saw everyone off. Looking at He Daqing who was talking to Yuyu: "When will you leave this time?"
He Daqing: "I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Last year, your Aunt Bai gave birth to a daughter for me, named He Yuxue."
The White Widow now gave birth to a son named He Yuanchao to He Daqing, and now she gave birth to a daughter. With this son and daughter, He Daqing should not be kicked out again in his later years.
He Yuzhu: "Okay, I'll clean up the guest room for you."
After seeing He Daqing off the next day, Yuyu said to He Yuzhu: "I don't know when I will see dad again."
He Yuzhu touched Yuyu's head: "If you miss him, we can go see him."
Rainwater: "No, there is no place for us in his current home. We still won't go."
When He Yuzhu heard what Yuyu said, he felt that Yuyu had grown up.
