Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

"I heard that the Xu family has found a partner for Xu Damao and they are going to get married soon. Since Guangqi is older than Xu Damao, we can't fall behind too much."

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it."

Liu Haizhong said, and gave Liu Guangqi some eggs. "Even in difficult times, our living conditions are much better than most people."

The family could have a little wine every day, as well as eggs and meat dishes, but only the eldest son Liu Guangqi could enjoy this treatment. The second sons Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu could only be satisfied with a basic meal. It was undoubtedly a dream for them to desire eggs and good dishes.

"Dad, I need a partner who is gentle, pretty, and filial."

Liu Guangqi expressed his opinion after eating the eggs.

"That's right, you have to be filial."

The smile in the bangs blooms like a flower.

What he hoped for in his later years was that his daughter-in-law would be filial to him, which was essential. However, he did not notice that a hint of cynicism flashed across Liu Guangqi's eyes as he lowered his head and ate heartily.

While they were talking, the deaf old lady with good hearing and eyesight called out from inside the house and asked them to come in. He Yuzhu thought about it. According to the original plot development, even if the old man was a little mean, he would still leave him a house and inheritance after his death, and he also left heirs in Lou Xiao'e's generation. Although they were not kind, they were obviously better than Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. Considering her old age, there was no need to worry too much.

So, He Yuzhu took Li Anxin into the house and put a small bag of wedding candy on the table. "I want to see what Zhuzi's wife is like."

The deaf old lady lifted the door curtain and walked out from the inner room.

"Madam, this is the oldest old lady in our yard, no, this is the oldest old lady around here."

He introduced Li Anxin and the deaf old lady, "Old lady, this is Li Anxin, my wife."

"Hello, old lady."

Li Anxin quickly greeted.

"Very good, the little girl looks good, but a little small and thin."

The old lady examined her and said with a smile, "Zhu Zi, such a thin girl is not easy to raise. She needs more nutrition."

Looking at the enthusiasm revealed in the wrinkles on the old woman's face, He Yuzhu secretly wondered if this smile was just an opportunity to get a free meal?

"Actually, I want to make some more delicious food for my wife to satisfy her cravings."

He Yuzhu's words were full of helplessness, and he sighed slightly, "Alas... To be honest, I originally planned to bring back some lunch dishes from the factory cafeteria, at least there would be some fat to taste."

"I didn't expect that I, the unlucky guy, would be exposed. Someone reported me saying that as a chef in the canteen kitchen, I should stick to my post and not seek benefits within the factory. Now, the only place I can eat lunch is the factory canteen. I dare not even take my lunch box home."

"The pork subsidy was originally intended to thank Director Wang for introducing me to a good marriage, but now it's all gone. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet someone fishing on the road and begged for that fish, I wouldn't even be able to afford dinner tonight."

"Tell me, who did I offend? Others brought extra food home at noon and no one stopped them, but I was the only one to have such a mess. I really suspect that someone was deliberately trying to make trouble for me because they were jealous of my good fortune."

"cough..."

The deaf old lady could not refute because she had heard that He Yuzhu had not brought any food home for several days. The meals at home were just cornmeal porridge and pickles, and even the bread was just steamed cornbread, which was also made of cornmeal.

After hearing this, the old lady believed that someone was indeed targeting He Yuzhu, and even vaguely guessed who it was.

"The situation is so difficult that I can't even find a way to get married."

He Yuzhu then sighed: "You also know that with my salary, it is only enough for me and Yu to eat. With two more people, life will be very tight."

"Fortunately, my wife is a considerate and virtuous person. Although she is young, she is a poor child who knows how to manage a household. This little difficulty is nothing."

After saying that, He Yuzhu picked up the bag of candy on the table again and handed it to the deaf old lady.

"Old lady, this is a little snack I specially prepared for you for the holiday. This is the largest portion in the hospital. Just enjoy it and don't show it to others, understand?"

"Good good."

The deaf old lady took the bag of candies and pinched them. There were quite a few, at least twenty or so. "Although I'm not happy that I can't eat them with my rice, but this amount of candies is a consolation prize."

Although the deaf old lady did not completely believe He Yuzhu's words, she did not completely disbelieve them. After all, the experience of living for eighty years was not gained in vain. For some things, it is better to stop at the right time and leave room for maneuver.

It is also because of this that even though He Yuzhu was cheated by the same person, he was still grateful for her help. Although he had some calculations against her when she was alive, He Yuzhu benefited the most from her affairs after her death: the inheritance went to him and the children were entrusted to her, which made her merits outweigh her sins.

Just like some people think that no matter how Qin Huairu exploits He Yuzhu, as long as she gives birth to a child for him, even if it is a girl, her previous mistakes can be forgiven.

Therefore, He Yuzhu's current attitude towards the old lady is to keep a distance, but leave room for respect. If the other party is stupid and still wants to, he will generously help her complete the last journey of her life, but will not be overly involved.

"Old lady, you should have a good rest. I still have to go and deliver candies to other people."

Not wanting to be entangled in this matter any longer, He Yuzhu took Li Anxin and headed to the old man's house in the east wing.

"Uncle, are you home?"

"Here, there!"

The old lady immediately went out to greet her, "Please come in and take a look at this pretty little girl."

He Yuzhu said politely, "Don't bother. Your family is enjoying dinner, so I won't go in and disturb you." Then he took out a bag of candy and three boxes of cigarettes, and specially noted, "These are specially prepared for uncle. Other families don't have them. Please keep them."

"Okay, okay, okay, I got it." My aunt nodded quickly in response after taking the cigarettes and candy.

After watching He Yuzhu and his wife walk towards the wing room, she turned back into the room.

"Dad, Zhuzi not only gave you candies, but also specially prepared a box of wedding cigarettes for you. He said this is a style that other families don't have." The daughter-in-law reported in a low voice.

"I just took a look and it's 'Daqianmen' cigarettes, which are pretty good." The father responded.

"Oh, let me see."

The second uncle took the cigarette and saw that it was indeed Daqianmen. He smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "I said that Yuzhu is a sensible guy. After all, he is one of the most influential elders in the courtyard. Of course, he will be treated specially."

In fact, for a family with such economic status as Liu Haizhong, those three boxes of cigarettes would not be taken seriously at all. The key point is that he pays more attention to the attitude conveyed by He Yuzhu.

In fact, He Yuzhu didn't mind giving away the entire gift package, but he knew that the focus of the bangs was not the cigarettes themselves, so he deliberately chose this method to avoid being too ostentatious.

When visiting the Xu family, He Yuzhu also did not enter the house. He used the excuse of delivering wedding candies to several families and getting to know Li Anxin, and left after completing the formalities.

When Xu's mother came home and looked at the candies on the table, Xu Damao couldn't help but frown.

"Shazhu's salary is quite high, why is there only a few candies?"

Xu's mother did not complain: "Look at it these days, having one candy is already good, at least ten pieces."

At this time, before letting his son express his opinion, Xu Fugui continued, "Mom is right. In such an environment, it is not good to be too high-profile. We should learn from Zhuzi, keep a low profile, and just distribute wedding candy."

"If we hold a grand banquet at this critical juncture, and someone really exposes it, both families will suffer!" Xu Fugui reminded in a stern tone.

Xu Damao shook his head firmly: "Dad, I don't think my parents will agree. Xiao'e is the precious daughter of the Lou family, how can she be as shabby as Yu Zhu? Wouldn't that bring shame to the Lou family?"

Mother Xu immediately comforted him: "Da Mao, you have to listen to your father. Our family can't decide anything. Everything depends on the Lou family's opinion. We will do whatever they do. If it really comes to a critical moment, they will come forward to support us."

Thinking that his lifelong rival had quietly married and had a wife before him, it was like being suppressed. How could he swallow such grievance?

"Mom, I'm not asking if it's possible, I'm asking when Xiao'e and I should hold our wedding!"

"Yes, have you heard the exact news from the Lou family?" Xu Fugui looked at his wife with concern.

Although Xu Ma is no longer a maid in the Lou family, her visits to her mother's family have never been interrupted due to their many years of friendship, and she is quite familiar with the affairs of her mother's family.

"Don't worry, this matter is very safe." Xu's mother said with a smile.

Unfortunately, she didn't realize that while she was saying these words, in the study of Lou's house, Lou Guodong put down the letter in his hand with an unpleasant look on his face. "Are you okay, husband?"

Mrs. Lou knew her husband's character very well, and she knew from his expression that the contents of the letter were not good. "Take a look at the letter yourself."

Lou Guodong handed the letter to his wife.

Full of doubts, Mrs. Lou took the letter. Not long after reading it, her face gradually darkened. The change was obvious. "Could this... be someone maliciously framing Xu Damao?"

After reading the letter, her doubts were tinged with uncertainty.

"Can't you see clearly what you wrote above? Every sentence hits the nail on the head. How could you be lying?"

As Lou Guodong spoke, he took a cigar from the cigar box on the desk and took out one to process it, "Besides, there are several things mentioned here."

"You are not completely unfamiliar with Xu Damao, how could this happen?"

Mrs. Lou re-examined the contents in the middle of the letter, which clearly accused Xu Damao of abusing his position to solicit gifts during the film screenings in the countryside and of indulging himself in his private life.

To the capitalists, Xu Damao's behavior of seeking personal gain was normal and not a big deal. But what really made the couple lose face was the part about Xu Damao.
