Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills
Chapter 29 Hexagram 8
At this moment, in front of Zhao Fang, he felt like he had met a fairy.
Even He Yuzhu felt that although Zhao Fang could not be said to be outstanding, she was definitely a good housekeeper.
Seeing He Daqing staring at Zhao Fang with his eyes flickering and absorbed in his thoughts, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He didn't know how to deal with his enthusiasm.
Will he scare people away by staring at them so intently?
However, since things have come to this, He Yuzhu has no choice but to go with the flow.
He smiled and said to the matchmaker and Zhao Fang: "In that case, why don't we have dinner at our house tonight? The food is ready." When the matchmaker heard this invitation, she looked at Zhao Fang. Zhao Fang blushed slightly and nodded in agreement. This move made He Daqing and He Yuzhu both satisfied.
This was also the unwritten custom of blind dates in that era.
A woman's willingness to dine at home is usually seen as a sign that things are progressing.
If the woman does not want to get married, she will find a suitable reason to leave first and will not stay for dinner.
This was seen as a normal social phenomenon by later generations and did not attract much attention.
Regardless of whether the blind date is successful or not, the man will usually treat the woman to a banquet to show his respect and sincerity.
Such customs seem very common in the context of the times.
However, the material conditions of this era were extremely unstable, especially for those who came to the blind date, we could not be careless in our hospitality.
If you eat someone's meal and then refuse the offer, rumors are bound to spread behind your back.
After dinner, He Yuzhu subtly mentioned, "Aunt Zhao, I think you have understood about my father's affairs.
If you agree to get married tomorrow, there is a vacant house in our courtyard house, you can move in directly without worrying about renting a house. "
In modern society, it is rare for two people to get married shortly after they met, but at that time, it was a common thing.
Since Zhao Fang agreed to marry He Daqing, she naturally would not have any objection to this.
He Yuzhu readily agreed, feeling relieved.
After thinking for a moment, He Yuzhu further proposed, "Well, no matter what, we can't let our father suffer.
So, I will give you 20 yuan as a betrothal gift. He also emphasized: "We already have a bicycle at home, so there is no need to buy a new one.
I'll go get you a sewing machine tomorrow.
You are still young, so let's skip the wedding ceremony for now.
Is there anything else you need? "
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the matchmaker beside him was surprised.
They understood that He Yuzhu was very generous! You know, in this era, the wealth of a girl's family was often only a few dozen yuan, but He Yuzhu actually paid two thousand yuan to marry his father!
This cannot be leaked casually.
Otherwise, too many men will envy and be jealous of He Yuzhu in the future, so that the marriage conditions of girls will rise, and many people may not be able to afford to get married.
After all, no one wants to admit that they are not worthy of the so-called jinx.
After hearing this, Zhao Fang was even more moved and her eyes welled up with tears.
No one had ever treated her so well in her life. "Zhu Zi, don't spend too much. That sewing machine costs hundreds of dollars!" She hoped to save the money and use it for her daily life.
Hearing this, He Daqing immediately seized the opportunity to show himself, “Xiao Zhao, we can’t let him be stingy.
This guy is rich now! Not to mention the money I gave him, he probably has saved thousands of dollars on his own!" This sentence shocked the matchmaker again.
Once this news leaks out, it will attract more suitors and her business will become more difficult.
The matchmakers couldn't stay any longer, so they got up and left immediately. "Okay, it's settled, we can just register tomorrow.
It's time for me to leave." After watching the matchmaker leave, He Yuzhu quickly picked up the lunch box and packed up the remaining pig's trotters. "Aunt, take this dish back.
Uncle must not have had dinner yet!" He Yuzhu said considerately.
"Take it back and give it to my uncle as a snack."
The matchmaker's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this.
No wonder He Yuzhu can live such a happy life at such a young age, he really understands human nature!
This half pork elbow should cost at least ten dollars, right?
Most families only have the chance to enjoy this delicacy during the Spring Festival!
Not to mention that he is so generous and speaks so considerately and pleasantly, who wouldn't like such a person?
Even though Zhao Fang is going to marry He Daqing and become the head of the family tomorrow, the couple still have to go back tonight.
She went back with the matchmaker with a smile on her face, her heart full of joy.
He Daqing was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night, and was looking forward to the new day.
The next day, at dawn, he and Zhao Fang went out to get their marriage certificate.
It just so happens that today is the day that Jia Zhang is released and returns.
When she got home and saw Qin Huairu's bulging belly, she curled her lips and shook her head secretly.
I suffered a lot in the reform center during these three months.
I originally thought I could come back and have a good rest.
Who would have thought that Qin Huairu was pregnant again. Her belly was obviously showing and she couldn't work. Would all these chores have to fall on me?
Jia Zhang didn't care about the laundry work at hand, and hurried to Qin Huairu to ask: "Huairu, didn't He Yuzhu get into college and not stay in Tianxianglou to work? He doesn't have to go to school today?"
"Yeah, you don't have to go on the weekend." Qin Huairu mentioned He Yuzhu with mixed feelings.
But looking at her round belly, she knew that she would never be able to be with He Yuzhu in this life, and she couldn't help but sigh.
“You know, when she was incarcerated, things changed.”
"After He Yuzhu went to college, the military and political authorities allocated him a house near Tsinghua University."
“I heard it’s a small courtyard for one family.”
"They have moved there now."
Upon hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on Jia Zhang's face.
"So, their place is empty now? It's not good to waste it. Why not give it to us at a lower price?"
As they were talking, He Daqing and Zhao Fang had completed the formalities and returned to the courtyard.
Hearing this, He Daqing sneered: "Jia Zhang, don't daydream."
"Can the He family's assets fall into your hands?"
Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, and turned around to look at He Daqing with even more confusion.
"He Daqing, how come you came back at such a good time?"
"Who is this and why is he with you?"
"Is he messing around outside again?"
"I'm warning you to hand over the property rights to our Jia family immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for reporting to the Military and Political Bureau!"
Hearing this, He Daqing looked at him with disdain and responded coldly: "Look carefully, this is my wife."
"We have a marriage certificate!"
"Who is fooling around outside?"
"If you spread rumors, I will never let you go!" Second paragraph
When He Daqing took out the marriage certificate, everyone else in the courtyard was stunned.
Who would have thought that He Daqing, who had always been down and out, actually found a wife!
Everyone in the courtyard knew some vague rumors about the entanglement between He Daqing and Widow Bai.
However, in the eyes of these people, the White Widow only regarded He Daqing as a temporary partner at most, and had no real desire to be with him.
No one believed that the White Widow would truly spend the rest of her life with He Daqing.
As for the rumors that He Daqing and the White Widow eloped, there is no need to comment too much.
If a woman chooses He Daqing as her husband again, she would be extremely stupid! But now, what is going on?
The fact of getting married is definitely not false.
If the two were really not married, the woman would not have moved into He Daqing's courtyard with him.
Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling that something might not be good.
He Daqing suddenly returned home, as if he had realized that Yi Zhonghai did not give He Yuzhu the money that he was entitled to, which made him extremely uneasy.
He himself had speculated as to why He Daqing did not ask him for money.
It is very likely that He Daqing came back temporarily to take a look and was unwilling to make excuses for himself after this incident.
He was worried that once he left, he might trouble He Yuzhu again.
But now a problem arises - He Daqing actually went straight to the marriage formalities. Is he determined to give up the White Widow?
Once the White Widow knew about this, how could she let him off easily? As an important figure in the compound, this matter concerned his vital interests, so Yi Zhonghai must find out the truth.
He asked aloud, "Daqing, have you really severed your relationship with the White Widow?"
These words swept through the courtyard like a whirlwind, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
Everyone has a natural curiosity about gossip.
In this age with almost no leisure and entertainment, how can we easily miss this sudden dramatic excitement?
He Daqing, who had originally held a grudge against the Yi family because Yi Zhonghai had the "390" handle of their family funds, became even more displeased after hearing this. "I won't mention that woman again." The anger that had been pent up in his heart for many years burst out: "He has been deceiving me for so many years. If Zhuzi hadn't stopped me, I would have reported him to the Military Control Commission long ago."
This further confused the neighbors: How could the Military Control Commission be involved? And how did the White Widow defraud He Daqing? Weren't these two people in love? Faced with these mysteries, the neighbors were like being scratched by invisible cat claws, eager for answers.
However, after all, it is someone else's family affair, and it is difficult to find out more unless the person concerned agrees.
Everyone knew that the relationship between He Daqing and Widow Bai might have really come to an end.
Yi Zhonghai was clear about this and became increasingly worried that he would become the target of debt collection one day.
However, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to get the Qing Dynasty to voluntarily return the huge sum of money.
At this moment, I could only force a smile and express my approval: "That's fine. Your marriage is a big deal and you should be congratulated."
He Daqing decisively rejected the proposal to hold a celebratory banquet. "At your age, you should skip the excitement to avoid becoming a laughing stock." His words made some residents of the courtyard secretly regretful.
According to the He family's living standard and He Yuzhu's current development status, if a wedding banquet is held, the specifications will definitely be high, and they will even have the opportunity to taste delicious food.
But this is obviously impossible.
However, this is also a reasonable consideration.
If others don't want to set up a feast, others can't force them to do so.
Moreover, in the current environment, no one wants to offend the He family. I guess only Jia Zhang would do so.
At this moment, she was indeed filled with anger.
