A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Ever since Cheng Jiajia came to the compound to discuss the renovation plan, Yu Junsheng started preparing for everything.

The first thing is to buy lime.

It’s not easy to buy lime these days. Not only do you need connections, but if you’re unlucky you have to wait.

Fortunately, although Yu Junsheng did not have a very good reputation in the compound, he still had a few good friends outside.

One of them had good connections and was able to get some lime.

Yu Jun was afraid that the long delay would affect the wedding date, so after sending Cheng Jiajia back, he immediately went to her house to inquire about the matter.

I have to say that Yu Junsheng was a bit lucky. The other party happened to have a batch of them ready, and he could take them away immediately if he wanted them.

Moreover, he had a good relationship with Yu Junsheng. When he heard that Yu Junsheng was going to get married, he was very happy for him and said that he must attend the wedding.

That afternoon, Yu Junsheng borrowed a cart and, together with his friend, transported several bags of lime back to the compound.

Move the furniture in the room, cover it with old newspapers, and start painting the walls.

This process lasted for three days. During these three days, Yu Junsheng stayed at a friend's house and did not return to the courtyard.

He had no idea that his departure had made some people in the hospital very anxious.

After moving back, Yu Junsheng was not idle either, as he had to buy other things.

He knew that Cheng Jiajia didn't have many clothes, so he thought of taking her to buy a few more sets. However, he was short of cloth coupons at the moment, so he could only go to the front yard to exchange some with Aunt Hao.

Aunt Hao was a straightforward person and exchanged the money without hesitation. Her eldest son was a soldier and sent her some money every month. Her husband was an eighth-grade worker in a machinery factory and had good benefits, so she always had some money on hand. Bartering with neighbors also brought in some money.

After exchanging the tickets, Aunt Hao asked about the marriage between Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia.

I was very dissatisfied when I learned that they were not planning to hold a wedding banquet.

She advised earnestly, "Junsheng, you two should not be so willful. I am old and I also came from the old society. I have seen a lot of things and know the importance of reputation to a woman. You said that you and Xiao Cheng had a blind date swap before. If you don't have a wedding, what will others think of you? What will others think of Xiao Cheng? Nowadays, some people just pick up their luggage and move into the man's house to stay. This is not suitable for you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Junsheng was suddenly startled.

Originally, neither Yu Junsheng nor Cheng Jiajia had planned a wedding banquet. Yu Junsheng's parents had no siblings, and Cheng Jiajia, on her part, didn't consider the Dong family her own. Neither of them had many close relatives, and no one to invite. These days, people valued simplicity and hardship, and many simply got married and moved in together. They figured no one would object if they didn't have a wedding banquet.

But after Aunt Hao's reminder, Yu Junsheng realized that a wedding banquet wasn't just a simple feast; it was a recognition of the newlyweds, and of the new bride. Especially since he and Cheng Jiajia had previously swapped partners during a blind date, gossip was inevitable, and a formal wedding banquet was necessary to silence everyone's gossip. Otherwise, those gossipers wouldn't know how to talk about Cheng Jiajia behind her back.

They are still young and think too simply.

Yu Junsheng expressed his sincere gratitude. "Aunt Hao, thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know what to do. It's said that families still need elders. Look, I have no one to help run the household. I don't know a lot of things. I'm completely in the dark. If it weren't for your guidance, I would have made a fool of myself and implicated Jiajia as well."

Aunt Hao was amused by his sweet talk and narrowed her eyes. "Haha, you are such a sweet-talker. You have been able to coax people since you were a child!"

Yu Junsheng said with a smile, "I'm not kidding, this is all from the heart. If Jiajia knew, she would definitely think the same as me."

Aunt Hao smiled and gave him a glare, "You two are from the same family, and you both know how to coax people."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll help you take care of it. It doesn't need to be grand. One or two tables of half-meat and half-vegetarian banquet will do. It won't cost much. Don't worry about me taking care of it!" Aunt Hao patted her chest and guaranteed that it was not easy for the two children to live without the help of their relatives, so she had to help them save some money.

Yu Junsheng thanked him three times and was about to say that he had a way to get pork without a ticket.

Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Bao Dayan standing at the door of her house, staring at him straight. Her look was full of resentment. Yu Junsheng shuddered and exclaimed "Fuck" in his heart. He didn't want to continue to be polite. He said goodbye to Aunt Hao in a few words and quickly left the front yard.

Ever since Cheng Jiajia pointed out Bao Dayan's feelings for him, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he had met Bao Dayan more often recently. Moreover, Bao Dayan always looked at him with a creepy look, as if he had let her down. If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they would really think that they were having something going on.

Yu Junsheng was really scared. Every time he saw her, he would stay three meters away from her, for fear that she would go crazy again and do something bad.

I am a pure and innocent man, and I don't want to get involved with her.

Seeing that he was trying to avoid her as much as possible, Bao Dayan pursed his lips unwillingly, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

Just wait, when the time comes I’ll make you beg to marry me!

After passing through the hanging flower gate and returning to the Second Courtyard, Yu Junsheng's goose bumps gradually disappeared. He put his hand on his chest and

God knows, when Bao Dayan got married, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old and still studying. Later, she graduated, gave birth to a child, and her husband died, leaving her a young widow.

Yu Junsheng thought that he and she were from two different worlds and had almost no interaction at all. Who knew why this woman would be so crazy and so cruel as to target him, who was five years younger than her.

Crazy, this guy is absolutely crazy!

He must stay away from this madman!

As for the pork issue, I can only find another opportunity to tell Aunt Hao about it, and secretly remind myself that next time I come to the front yard, I must step in advance to avoid meeting this woman again.

Aunt Cao, who was sitting at her doorstep eating sunflower seeds, noticed his odd behavior and asked, "Junsheng, why are you acting so strangely? If someone didn't know you, they'd think there was a ghost chasing you in the front yard."

Yu Junsheng thought to himself, "Isn't there a ghost? This ghost really has set its sights on me, but on the surface, I said, "It's Aunt Hao who insisted on dragging me to stay for dinner." Seeing Aunt Cao's eyes suddenly light up, he deliberately said, "I'm not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. These days, who has extra food? How can I eat other people's food? That's why I ran back quickly."

Aunt Cao curled her lips. This kid never told the truth. She remembered something and asked slyly, "Junsheng, tell me what good news you have going to find Hao Jingui for?" She didn't forget that this kid went to the Dong family to ask Hao Jingui for marriage last time. Even though he was just helping to propose marriage, when the two of them got married, could they do without Hao Jingui's red envelope?

The matchmaker still has to make a coal trip, but Hao Jingui only needs to make one trip and can get a big red envelope. This money is like picking it up for free.

When Aunt Cao found out, she felt extremely upset. Why didn't Yu Junsheng come to her for such a good thing?

She stared at Yu Junsheng with a pair of shrewd eyes, "Auntie also watched you grow up, so you must not forget Auntie if anything happens."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Cao knew that something was wrong and she wanted to bite off her tongue. Hey, you gotta talk too much!

Yu Junsheng's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly, "Really? Auntie, I knew you were the best to me. I'm getting married soon, so I have to buy two new sets of clothes. I was thinking of finding someone to exchange some cloth coupons for. It would be great if you have some, Auntie. I'll exchange them for ten feet first, and then return them to you when the ring opens next month..."

Aunt Cao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, there are so many people in my family waiting for clothes, where can I get extra cloth coupons?"

She quickly picked up the small stool under her and scurried back to the house on her short legs. Yu Junsheng called out behind her, "Aunt Cao, Aunt Cao..."

The door slammed shut, showing how much she feared that Yu Junsheng, this shameless man, would get his eyes on the cloth coupons in her pocket.

Yu Junsheng was not embarrassed. He raised his eyebrows and went back to his room.

The Zheng family mother and son, who lived in the second hospital, overheard the conversation between the two and actually thought that Aunt Hao wanted to invite Yu Junsheng to dinner.

I was so jealous that sour feelings kept bubbling out of my heart.

Chang Dafen was indignant: "This Hao Jingui, she's showing off just because she has a few good sons, isn't it? Look how capable she is, even treating Yu Junsheng to dinner? Why doesn't she go to heaven!"

Zheng Haiyang also frowned. "What Aunt Hao did was really not nice. We're all neighbors living in the same compound. How could she only invite Yu Junsheng to dinner? It's so unfair and detrimental to the unity of our compound."

"That's right, if anyone is going to treat me, it should be you, Haiyang. My son is so capable, she should treat you to a meal!"

Chang Dafen cursed fiercely: "The little bastard from the Yu family is a rag collector. Bah, he wears new clothes, does he deserve it?"

Yu Junsheng clearly said that it was time for dinner, but in these two people's mouths, it became a special treat for them, as if Yu Junsheng had already eaten. It's really speechless.

However, the mother and son only dared to whisper a few words behind their family's back. They didn't dare to go outside and say it. After all, Hao Jingui's husband was not only the manager of the yard, but also one of the rare eighth-level workers in the factory. Even the factory director was polite to him. They didn't dare to offend him.

Chang Dafen thought of the beautiful appearance of Cheng Jiajia whom she had seen yesterday, and felt unfair again. She didn't expect that this country girl was so pretty. It was really a good deal for that little bastard Yu Junsheng!

She said jealously, "She looks like a vixen, and you can tell she's restless. No wonder she hooked Yu Junsheng the moment they met! She also has a small bottom, so she definitely can't have a son. Yu Junsheng is doomed to be a childless man!"

After thoroughly disparaging Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, Chang Dafen finally felt relieved.

Zheng Haiyang didn't stop him. After all, he was still a little upset that she had chosen Yu Junsheng over him on the blind date. He felt relieved to hear his mother scolding the two of them.

Suddenly I heard his mother ask,

"Son, how are you and Jiang Qiubai doing? Are you able to settle down?"

When this was mentioned, Zheng Haiyang's expression relaxed a lot. "It's settled. I'll go to her house tomorrow to propose marriage. She'll come over the day after tomorrow, and we'll get the marriage certificate the day after that."

I heard that Yu Junsheng is still preparing things, so it definitely won't happen that fast. He must get ahead of Yu Junsheng and make the wedding banquet a lively one, otherwise where would he put his face?

……

There are only two people at the scrap recycling station where Yu Junsheng works. One is an old man named Wang, known as Old Man Wang, and the other is Yu Junsheng. The two of them, old and young, get along very harmoniously.

After confirming with each other through eye contact, I found that they are the kind of people who just want to get by.

This is the advantage of their job. When it is busy, it is indeed busy, but after a while, when there is nothing to do, they become idle and idle. It doesn't matter if they are late or leave early. After all, there are not so many people buying and selling scrap. It doesn't matter if they open or close the store early or late.

That afternoon, seeing that there was nothing to do at the recycling station, Yu Junsheng told Old Wang that he was leaving get off work early. Knowing that he had a lot to do with his marriage soon, Old Wang was very understanding and sighed, "Now that you're married, your parents down there should be relieved! Take good care of it and don't let their daughter suffer any injustice!"

Old Man Wang is also an acquaintance of Yu's father and mother. It was he who helped Yu Junsheng change his job. The old man usually takes care of Yu Junsheng.

Old Man Wang took the initiative to say, "If you need pork for your banquet, go find your big brother Wang. He doesn't ask for tickets."

Old Man Wang’s eldest son works in a meat processing plant. Occasionally, the employees can get meat without a ticket. Old Man Wang usually exchanges some of it with relatives and friends. Naturally, the price will be higher, but it is better than going to the black market.

Yu Junsheng had originally planned to ask Old Man Wang's son to buy the meat, but he didn't expect the old man to say it first. "Of course, who else can I ask for such an important matter if not Brother Wang?"

He rolled his eyes and said with a grin, "But Uncle Wang, who are you talking to me about? The price has to be a little lower. You know I have no one to help me, so I have to be careful about my life."

Old Man Wang blew his beard and glared, "You little bastard, you only know how to take advantage of me!"

He glared at Yu Junsheng again, knowing that this monkey boy would not suffer any loss. However, thinking about the relationship between him and Yu's father, the old man gritted his teeth and said, "Just give me one dollar for a pound of meat."

Yu Junsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Hey, you know what, this old man is really nice to me!

The supply and marketing cooperative sells pork at 7 cents per pound and requires meat coupons. The black market doesn't require meat coupons, but the price is 1.5 yuan per pound more expensive. Boss Wang sells it to me for one yuan per pound, which is much cheaper than the black market.

Yu Junsheng hadn't considered charging the supply and marketing cooperative's price. After all, they were also using their connections, right? Was it free to give gifts through connections?

You can't take advantage of others by doing this. There should be give and take, and only then can the relationship last long.

After making the agreement with Old Man Wang about buying meat, Yu Junsheng returned home at a little before five o'clock. All the factories had not yet finished get off work. Aunt Cao, who often chatted at the door, and Aunt Guan, who was the most noisy, were nowhere to be seen. The yard was quiet.

Yu Junsheng was a little uncomfortable, but he raised his eyebrows as soon as he opened the door.

Sure enough, the unexpected happened late but it still happened.

There was a small piece of paper on the ground, which looked like it had been slipped from under the door.

Yu Junsheng didn't even want to pick it up. What if someone was so cruel as to smear some poison on it to harm him for the sake of his house?

It's hard to say.

He squatted down and saw the words written on it, "I have something very important to tell you. See you behind the public toilet at 3 pm tomorrow."

The handwriting looks like it was written by a lesbian, but it's hard to say.

Yu Junsheng fell into deep thought as he looked at this ordinary little piece of paper. There were usually people in their yard, and it was impossible for strangers to come in and out without making any noise. When he passed by the yard before, he didn't hear any strangers coming in today.

Therefore, the only person who could slip the note into the crack of his door without anyone noticing was someone who already lived in this courtyard.

Tsk~ What serious person would write a note?

If there is something going on, why not just say it directly? You have to run to the back of the public toilet to talk about it. You can tell at a glance that you are being sneaky.

Yu Junsheng curled his lips in disgust, but he didn't mind the stench.

He had no intention of going to this appointment. It looked like it was not a good thing. Who knows what kind of plot was waiting for him? Yu Junsheng was still very cautious in this regard.

In view of what happened recently, he had some doubts in his heart. He rolled his eyes, found a rag to wrap his hands, picked up the note, opened the door and glanced around. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly crouched down and rushed out the door, stuffed the note into the gap of the door opposite, and ran back.

Thinking about the good show that might happen tomorrow, Yu Junsheng couldn't help but laugh.
