Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Although you are not yet of marriageable age at 19, the neighborhood office will approve your marriage as long as the age difference is not too big.

Wang Jianjun then told him about Li Xiuzhi's situation.

"Kui Yong, although Xiuzhi is a refugee from famine, she is indeed a good girl and hardworking. Most importantly, she is beautiful."

Li Kuiyong felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and said:

"Brother Wang, given the situation in my family, wouldn't the girl have to suffer with me if she married me?"

It’s not that Li Kuiyong is unwilling to find a partner. He knows that his family conditions are not good, and he only lived a good life by hanging out with Wang Jianjun.

He hasn't changed his mind yet.

"No matter how hard it is, it's better than being in a shelter. Besides, can't the money you earn a month be enough to support a woman? If you want, I will introduce her to someone else."

Li Kuiyong thought about it and it seemed to be the case. He said hurriedly:

"Well, then I'll go meet you, Brother Wang."

"That's right. I have an appointment with the neighborhood office on Sunday. Dress smartly that day, get a haircut, and buy some clothes to leave a good impression on the girl."

"Okay, Brother Wang."

Li Kuiyong was very excited about going on a blind date.

He doesn't have any big ambitions. His lifelong pursuit is to have a wife, children and a warm bed.

At most, I hope to earn more money and marry a prettier wife.

When the Sunday came, Wang Jianjun and Shen Maiqiu went to the subdistrict office.

Shen Maiqiu went to take a special look at Li Xiuzhi.

Although this girl is thin now, she has fair skin.

And she is really beautiful.

It is true that the land of Bashu is rich in beauties.

Shen Maiqiu and Li Xiuzhi chatted for a while and became closer.

She still has a good impression of this girl.

Although she looks weak, she is actually very strong at heart.

She only mentioned the dangerous experience of coming to Sijiucheng from Bashu in a few brief sentences.

After a while, Li Kuiyong also came to the street office.

It was obvious that he came prepared this time.

He was wearing new clothes and had his hair shaved short.

He looks quite energetic.

Wang Jianjun took him to meet Li Xiuzhi.

When he saw Li Xiuzhi, Li Kuiyong's hands were shaking.

It was obvious that Li Xiuzhi's appearance had far exceeded his expectations.

Li Xiuzhi had a pretty good first impression of Li Kuiyong.

Although Li Kuiyong looks ordinary.

But it also depends on who you compare with.

Anyway, he is far better than Shazhu.

"Hello! My name is Li Kuiyong."

Li Kuiyong was so nervous that he could only utter this sentence.

Then I didn’t know what to say.

"My name is Li Xiuzhi."

Li Xiuzhi was a little nervous at first, but when she saw Li Kuiyong's expression, she found it a little funny.

Seeing that the two seemed to have a chance, Wang Jianjun winked at Shen Maiqiu and went out together.

"Do you think they can succeed?"

After going out, Shen Maiqiu pulled Wang Jianjun's arm and asked.

"It should be possible. I think they are quite destined to be together."

"Really? How come I didn't know that?"

Wang Jianjun smiled and said:

"Look, they both have the last name Li. If you count a few generations back, they might be from the same family. And the most important thing is that they both have such thick eyebrows. This is fate."

Shen Maiqiu was a little amused.

What kind of fate is it to have thick eyebrows?

Half an hour later, Li Kuiyong excitedly brought Li Xiuzhi out to find Wang Jianjun.

Wang Jianjun jokingly asked:

"You two have been talking for so long, are you talking about getting married?"

Li Xiuzhi blushed at what Wang Jianjun said.

Li Kuiyong also said a little embarrassedly:

"Xiuzhi is willing to marry me. Aunt Wu will give us a certificate tomorrow and we can get the marriage certificate tomorrow."

It took only half an hour to decide to get married. This efficiency is really characteristic of this era.

"Congratulations."

Wang Jianjun congratulated Li Xiuzhi and said:

"Sister Xiuzhi, Kuiyong is a real man, so you should live a good life with him from now on."

After saying this, he looked at Li Kuiyong and continued:

"Kuiyong, treat Xiuzhi well in the future. Don't let her suffer any injustice."

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I will definitely treat Xiuzhi well."

Wang Jianjun was also happy for them.

After chatting for a while, Li Kuiyong went back to inform his family.

Shen Maiqiu also congratulated Li Xiuzhi and gave her a gift.

A pickle jar.

Li Xiuzhi is from Bashu, and it is said that every household there knows how to make kimchi.

Li Kuiyong went home and told his mother about his marriage.

When Li's mother heard that her son was going to get married, she burst into tears with excitement.

The family discussed it and finally decided to buy a few houses.

Li Kuiyong has many brothers and sisters.

Because my younger brothers and sisters are still young, they can accommodate me for the time being.

But now that Li Kuiyong is getting married, he needs his own room.

The same goes for several other brothers and sisters.

In the past few months, the Li family has saved a lot of money by reselling supplies in the Pigeon Market.

I still have the ability to buy a few houses.

The next morning, Li Kuiyong took the certificate to the street office and got a marriage certificate with Li Xiuzhi.

Aunt Wu was considered their witness.

Li Xiuzhi's eyes were red when she saw the marriage certificate.

I had no relatives in the city where I fled from famine, but now I finally have a family.

Li Kuiyong married Li Xiuzhi and treated her very well.

He made an agreement with Li Xiuzhi to let her stay in the shelter for a few days.

I will marry her after I buy a house.

By the way, we also need to set up two tables at home to create a sense of ceremony.

Although Li Xiuzhi doesn't care about these things, she feels very happy that her husband values ​​her so much.

Li Kuiyong specifically told Wang Jianjun about his plan to sell his house and get married, and invited him and Shen Maiqiu to attend his wedding on the wedding day.

The whole thing went smoothly.

Li Xiuzhi married into a good family, and Li Kuiyong married a beautiful and capable wife.

Wang Jianjun succeeded in his first matchmaking attempt.

Only Shazhu is the most miserable.

He waited at home for two days, but what he ended up waiting for was Aunt Wu telling him that Li Xiuzhi didn't like him.

When Sha Zhu heard the news, he was stunned.

"No, why? Why would she, a refugee from outside the city, look down on me, a man from the inner city?"

Sha Zhu was very unhappy, so he spoke without thinking.

This made Aunt Wu a little unhappy.

You, Shazhu, have good conditions, but Miss Xiuzhi is not bad either.

It’s still Li Kuiyong, the one introduced by Wang Jianjun, who is reliable.

In order to marry a wife, one has to buy a house and hold a wedding banquet.

Which girl would not be moved by such sincerity?

Besides, Li Kuiyong is much more handsome than you, Shazhu.

But Aunt Wu accepted Shazhu's gift after all, so she could only comfort him and say:

"Zhu Zi, you can't force a blind date. Don't worry, I'll find some new candidates for you in a few days."

Since Aunt Wu said so, what else can Sha Zhu do?

I could only nod helplessly.

As soon as Aunt Wu left, Jia Zhang, who was peeking through the window, couldn't help but reveal a smug expression.

You idiot, just bring lunch boxes to my house.
