Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Everyone in the courtyard waited for a long time and finally the day of Liu Guangqi's wedding came.

Liu Guangqi's wedding date is set for Sunday.

Early in the morning before dawn, Wang Jianjun delivered the pork that the second uncle wanted.

The ten kilograms of pork belly was full of fat, and the second uncle was laughing so hard that he couldn't even see his eyeballs.

I kept praising Wang Jianjun for his thoughtfulness.

Such good meat costs at least 78 cents per pound in the vegetable market, and it may not be available.

Moreover, the meat looks fresh, obviously it was slaughtered not long ago.

Of course, the fat that Liu Haizhong values ​​is exactly what Wang Jianjun dislikes.

He prefers leaner parts like ribs.

After taking the ten yuan and saying hello to Liu Haizhong, Wang Jianjun went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.

It's only three o'clock and it's not even daybreak yet.

It was already past seven o'clock when Wang Jianjun woke up.

When he came out, there were already many women busying around in the yard.

Wang Jianjun simply gave himself a day off today and did nothing but wait for the meal to start.

Liu Haizhong's banquet today was indeed very grand.

But it is impossible for him to invite all the people in the hospital.

Each family sends one representative.

Sha Zhu is in charge of cooking today, and the stove is set up in the middle courtyard.

There were eight banquet tables, four in the middle yard and four in the back yard.

The tables and chairs were collected from various families. Wang Jianjun's family had just made a round table, but because it was big enough, it was borrowed by his second uncle's family.

The same goes for pots, pans, and utensils. You can borrow them from each household.

Each household usually carves a mark on the bottom of the basin so that it is easier to identify after the banquet.

When Wang Jianjun just came out, the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came over to talk about moving tables and chairs.

"Go move it yourself inside the house."

Wang Jianjun pointed into the house and asked them to go in by themselves.

The two brothers were very excited about the Liu family's wedding. They probably didn't know that their elder brother's marriage would almost drain all of Old Liu's family assets.

When it’s their turn to get married in the future, the conditions won’t be so good.

There are three rooms in Liu Haizhong's house. One is for the couple to live in, one is for daily use, and the other one was specially renovated to be used as Liu Guangqi's wedding room.

For this purpose, Lao Liu spent a lot of money to get a new set of furniture.

Liu Haizhong's idea is also weird. Among his three children, only the eldest one seems to be his biological child, while the second and third ones are like they were raised by a stepmother.

The key is that both husband and wife have this idea.

I beat my kids every now and then, sometimes even mixed doubles.

These two brothers are lucky to be alive today without dying young.

As soon as Wang Jianjun went out, he saw Liu Guangqi, who was ready to go and push a bicycle to pick up the bride.

Liu Guangqi inherited the mediocre appearance of the Liu family. He looks like Liu Haizhong, but not as fat as the second uncle.

But the outfit I'm wearing for my wedding today is quite spirited.

The middle-parted hair was combed to a shiny finish.

Plus a Zhongshan suit, small leather shoes and a brand new watch.

She wore a red hydrangea on her chest, which looked quite festive.

The bicycle and watch were bought for him by Liu Haizhong yesterday, as well as a radio.

All I need is a sewing machine with three turns and one sound.

It is said that in order to buy these things, the second uncle used all the industrial coupons he had saved in the past few years.

Liu Guangqi was in high spirits when he was happy about the event. He greeted everyone he met cheerfully. When he saw Wang Jianjun, he quickly stepped forward to offer him a cigarette. He said that Wang Jianjun had made a great contribution to the success of this banquet.

"Jianjun, have a cigarette."

Wang Jianjun waved his hand to indicate that he didn't smoke.

"Then have some wedding candy peanuts."

As he said this, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and candies and stuffed them into his hands.

"Today is a big day, so you can go ahead and do your work. You don't need to call me."

Many relatives of the Liu family came to the backyard and needed him to come forward to receive them.

At around eight o'clock, after Liu Haizhong lit a string of firecrackers, Liu Guangqi pushed his bicycle and set out to pick up the bride.

Wang Jianjun stayed in the backyard for a while and then walked towards the front yard.

When I arrived at the front yard, I unexpectedly met someone, He Yushui.

It's summer vacation now, and He Yushui will come back to live during the vacation.

Speaking of it, the He family's genes are quite special. He Yuzhu takes after He Daqing and grows up to be big and strong.

He Yushui, on the other hand, is a pretty girl from a small family. It doesn't look like she is He Daqing's biological daughter.

It’s a pity that he is too young and has an unreliable brother.

Wang Jianjun greeted her and gave her the wedding candy in his hand.

The best wedding candy these days is White Rabbit. I don’t know what kind of wedding candy the second uncle bought, but he doesn’t like it very much.

He Yushui was bribed by the wedding candy, and took it with a smile and chatted with Wang Jianjun for a few words.

This scene made He Yuzhu, who was standing by, so angry that he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yushui! Have you finished your homework? Go back to the house and do your homework!"

He Yushui pouted a little unhappy, but seeing He Yuzhu's expression, she didn't dare to say anything more. She said hello to Wang Jianjun and went back to her room.

"Wang Jianjun! I'm telling you not to go after my sister."

Wang Jianjun looked at Sha Zhu speechlessly.

What the hell is this guy thinking about?

"I'm telling you to stop thinking about dirty things. Yu Shui is still a child. How can she face the world if you say that?"

"Anyway, stay away from her! My He family has no relationship with your Wang family."

Sha Zhu knew that he was no match for Wang Jianjun and could only make a few harmless threats.

Wang Jianjun was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked towards the front yard.

He Yuzhu was in charge of cooking at the Central Court, and Liu Haizhong found a few relatives to help him.

There are so many chickens, ducks, geese and fish that need to be slaughtered, which is a lot of work, and the key is that the taste is strong.

The third uncle in the front yard got the job of registering gift money because of his beautiful handwriting.

It wasn’t in vain, the second uncle gave him a pack of cigarettes.

The task of collecting the money was given to one of Liu Haizhong's cousins.

The two of them were currently sitting in the front yard registering incoming guests.

"Uncle, remember this for me."

Wang Jianjun said this as he handed Yan Bugui a dollar.

"Okay, I'll take the money."

Yan Bugui took the money and handed it to the person next to him, then wrote down Wang Jianjun's name and the amount of the gift on a piece of red paper.

Wang Jianjun gave some peanuts to Yan Bugui and asked:

"Uncle, who's coming to your house for dinner today?"

"Of course it's me."

"What's your solution?"

"He has nothing to do anyway, so I let him go fishing."

Wow, this is really a reasonable use of human resources.

Poor Yan Jiecheng, not only could he not have a feast, he also had to go fishing to supplement his family income.

The two were chatting when Jia Dongxu just happened to walk over.

Jia Dongxu felt a little embarrassed seeing Wang Jianjun here.

"Uncle, this is the gift money from my family."

As he said this, he handed the money to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was a little bit unbelievable when he got the money. He looked at Jia Dongxu and said speechlessly:

"Okay, I'll write it down for you."

After paying the money, Jia Dongxu looked a little unhappy.

He went back to the backyard without even saying hello.

The money he had was just enough to pay this month's salary, which had not yet been paid, and all his previous savings had been paid back to Wang Jianjun.

I originally wanted to ask Jia Zhang for some money as a gift.

As a result, Jia Zhang was unwilling to give any more money.

In the end, it took him a long time to get two cents from Jia Zhang.

It's really not nice to give two cents as a gift.

Basically everyone gives one or two yuan, and at worst fifty cents.

Even the stingy uncle contributed fifty cents.

The two cents from Jia Dongxu refreshed the uncle's cognition.

I'm losing money every time I give a gift!
