Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

The third aunt said, "I heard that the two daughters of the old Yu family are not easy to deal with. I am not worried about anything else. I am just afraid that Yu Li will come to our house and make our family uneasy."

Yan Bugui said: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If Yu Li likes to make trouble, the worst that can happen is that the family will be divided. But before the division, Jie Cheng must pay back all the money he owes us."

The next morning, before daybreak, the three aunts got up, wrapped themselves tightly and went out with baskets. If you want to buy good vegetables at the market, you have to line up early. Families with many children can have more people line up. Families with fewer people can only line up with bricks. But you have to buy vegetables quickly.

When the third aunt arrived at the market, the market stalls were empty, with few people. The third aunt quickly placed a brick in front of the fish stall, said hello to the people in the queue behind her, and then ran to the meat stall to line up.

After waiting for about half an hour, the market worker came. Auntie spent 1.5 yuan to buy two pounds of pork belly, and then ran to the fish stall without stopping, choosing left and right, and finally bought a bream weighing about one pound. Then she walked around the market again, but there was nothing good to buy, so Auntie left the market.

A little after five o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Jiecheng brought Yu Li here. The three aunts were still very supportive today. Yan Jiecheng's request was two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, four dishes and one soup. The three aunts directly made three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and one soup. Although Yu Li's family situation is not bad, she hasn't eaten meat for a long time. It's not that her family doesn't eat meat, but when her mother buys meat and cooks it at home, she always chooses when she is not at home, because Yu Li has a younger sister and a younger brother? ! Seeing that Yan Jiecheng's family attaches so much importance to her, Yu Li's slight unhappiness in her heart also dissipated. The three aunts took the initiative to pick up a piece of braised pork for Yu Li and said, "Yu Li, just treat this as your own home, don't be polite!"

Yu Li smiled and replied: "Auntie, don't worry! I will definitely not be polite to you. You guys eat too!"

"Hey!" The third aunt responded and secretly looked at Yan Bugui who was sitting next to her. Yan Bugui said, "Don't just stand there, eat!" After that, Yan Bugui picked up a piece of fish belly meat and put it into Yu Li's bowl, saying, "Jie Cheng's mother is really good at cooking fish. You should try it." Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jie Cheng and said, "Silly boy, don't just focus on eating! Think about Yu Li!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiecheng responded, quickly putting three or four pieces of meat into Yu Li's bowl, and urged her, "Eat! You're welcome!"

The meal ended quickly in a friendly atmosphere. After the meal, Yan Jiecheng sent Yu Li home. When Yan Jiecheng came back, Yan Bugui saw the smile on his son's face and asked, "What's wrong?! What are you so happy about?!"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Dad, it's done! Yu Li asked me to find someone to go to their house and propose marriage."

Yan Bugui said, "It's easy to propose marriage. But you also have to ask her parents if they are willing?! Find a time and go to Yu Li's house first. Then we can talk about other things."

"Oh!" Yan Jiecheng responded, feeling a little unhappy, he said, "Dad, I'm going back to my room to sleep first!"

At the same time, Yu Haitang sat down opposite Yu Li. Seeing Yu Li in a daze, Yu Haitang waved her hand in front of Yu Li and asked, "Sister, what are you thinking about?!"

Yu Li came back to her senses and said, "I didn't think about anything!"

Yu Haitang asked: "Sister, how about going to your boyfriend's house today?!"

Yu Li replied: "That's all. But their family was very polite to me."

Yu Haitang then asked, "Sister, are you really going to marry Yan Jiecheng?! Are you not going to be picky?! My classmate He Yushui lives in the same courtyard as Yan Jiecheng. I asked her about it. She said that the Yan family is very stingy."

"That's not called being stingy, that's called knowing how to live. You are still young and don't understand now. You will understand in the future. It's getting late. Go to bed early!" After saying that, Yu Li stood up, walked to the bed, sat on the bed, took off her clothes, and went to bed.

After a while, Yu Haitang began to snore softly. But Yu Li couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Yu Li thought she was pretty and had a good figure. She had many suitors around her, but for some reason, she had a special liking for Yan Jiecheng. It was probably because Yan Jiecheng was not like the others. Yan Jiecheng was a bit cowardly, so he was easy to control!

Yu Li fell asleep in a daze. The next morning, after getting up and washing up, she sat at the table to eat breakfast when her father said, "Xiao Li, you went to Yan Jiecheng's house yesterday. If you think he's suitable, bring him home. Your mother and I will help you check. If he's really suitable, let him find time to come and propose marriage."

Yu Li said, "Dad, there's no need to go through so much trouble, right?!"

Yu Li's mother said, "Yes! This is related to the family's reputation."

"Okay!" Yu Li agreed in a compromising tone. In fact, when Yan Jiecheng sent Yu Li to the entrance of her alley last night, Yu Li asked Yan Jiecheng to find someone to come to their house to propose marriage. Now that her parents said so, Yu Li could only swallow the second half of the sentence that was on the tip of her tongue.

After breakfast, Yu Li hurried out. As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Yan Jiecheng waiting for her under the street light. Yu Li walked over with a smile and asked, "Don't you have to go to work?!"

Yan Jiecheng said hurriedly, "Of course I have to go to work. But I always feel uncomfortable if I don't tell you something. Yesterday I went back and told my father about the proposal. He told me to go to your house first and meet your parents. Only after they agree can I come to propose marriage." Then he asked, "When do you think it would be appropriate for me to go to your house?!"

When Yu Li heard Yan Jiecheng's words, she finally let go of her worries and said, "You can come anytime you want."

Yan Jiecheng asked: "This Sunday, do you think it's okay?!"

Yu Li calculated her shifts in her mind and nodded, "It just so happens that I have a day off this Sunday. Come over at noon!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiecheng responded and said, "Then I'll go to work first!"

"Go ahead!" Yu Li replied, and warned, "Be careful on the road!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiecheng responded, took two steps, and suddenly jumped up, like a three-year-old child, with a bright smile on his face.

Yu Li looked at Yan Jiecheng's back, smiled bitterly, and muttered, "What a funny guy!"

Time soon came to Sunday. Early in the morning, Yan Jiecheng got up early and dressed himself. After finishing his breakfast as quickly as possible, Yan Jiecheng said hello to his parents and went out.

Yan Jiecheng was not someone who did not know the rules. After leaving the courtyard, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the alley. Yan Jiecheng took out the tickets he had bought some time ago, bought two bottles of Erguotou, a pack of Pegasus cigarettes, a bag of snacks and half a pound of assorted candies, and left the supply and marketing cooperative excitedly.

Half an hour later, Yan Jiecheng appeared near Yu Li's home. Seeing Yu Li waiting under the street light, Yan Jiecheng immediately walked over and asked, "You must have been waiting for a long time, right?!"

When Yu Li saw Yan Jiecheng carrying something in his hand, she immediately smiled and replied, "I just got here too! Let's go!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiecheng responded and followed Yu Li to her home.
