Siheyuan: Happy He Yuzhu

Chapter 56 56, this era is a bit cruel
He Yuzhu didn't understand what his mentality was when Yu Li twice said that she admired cultural people.

Only then did He Yuzhu understand why in the original drama, a girl like Yu Li, who was so beautiful and had a great personality, would marry into the Yan family?
As far as Yan Bugui's stinginess and calculations are concerned, Yu Li can know the reputation of the Yan family by just asking a little before entering.

Moreover, Yu Haitang and He Yuyu are classmates. Can't they ask each other between children?Will he be like an adult who dare not speak for fear of offending others?

Probably not, just because the Yan family is a cultural person in the eyes of Yu Li or Yu Li's parents.

He Yuzhu's head felt hot because of the bite on Yu Li's cheek.Rather than saying that he likes it, it is better to say that the soul from later generations has a stamp-collecting mentality when seeing the characters in the play.

After the kiss, He Yuzhu actually regretted it.

If He Yuzhu is twenty, Yu Li is eighteen.It's quite simple, just cut off the hair.

But it will still take three or four years, and no one knows what changes will occur in the meantime.

He Yuzhu fell asleep in a daze!

In this world, we are probably destined to meet as many people as we can.

After He Yuzhu told He Daqing his worries.

He Daqing was also smoking heavily, with a sad face.

Even a grown man like him doesn't understand this.

So the father and son turned their attention to Liu Ping, who was eating melon seeds next to him.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "You gentlemen, please don't worry about these things. I asked Mrs. Gan, and the little girl agreed. After a while, choose a day, and after giving the four-color gifts, set up a banquet. Just treat it like an engagement. It’s not always like this these days.”

The father and son looked at Liu Ping in surprise.

He Yuzhu stammered: "Aunt Liu, I mean I'm too young. Is it too early to talk about a partner? Why are we talking about engagement?"

Liu Ping suddenly stood up, threw the melon seed peels on the ground, clapped her hands, looked at He Yuzhu with a half-smile and said: "You are already a relative's girl. Why, you still want to pretend that nothing happened?"

When He Daqing heard this, he wanted to whip his belt and beat this naughty kid.Suddenly it occurred to me that my own pig had eaten someone else's cabbage.So he became like Liu Ping, looking at He Yuzhu with a half-smile.

He Yuzhu has never experienced this. Being thick-skinned is only useful when others don't know.

Everyone else knows, no matter how thick-skinned you are, you will still be embarrassed!

He Daqing saw that his son's face looked like a red-hot prawn, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Ping and burst into laughter.

He Daqing smiled and said: "As expected of me."

He Daqing turned to Liu Ping and asked with a smile: "The little girl said that Zhu Zhu kissed her?"

Liu Ping couldn't help laughing when she heard this, without caring about He Yuzhu's red face.

Even He Daqing couldn't help but stepped forward to support her.I was afraid that if Liu Ping was not careful, the doll would pop out in advance.

Don't be careful, the baby will be born in more than a month.

Liu Ping almost laughed before she said: "It's a coincidence. Aunt Gan and that aunt of the Yu family were afraid that something might happen to the two young people, so they were wandering around the park and happened to see the girl from our Zhuzi family. We wanted to Aunt Gan stopped her and gave her some advice. Zhu Zhu might have been arrested with a smile on her face. Zhu Zhu, tell me, you’ve done this kind of thing, what can you do if you don’t get engaged?" Hearing this, He Yuzhu’s face was no longer red. No longer, but rust-colored.This is so damn embarrassing!It just so happened that Yu Li's mother happened to see it.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. When we parted that day, he was lucky that he didn't say that he was too young or something.Otherwise, it was really a question whether he could get out of the park alive that day.

In fact, it is quite normal. Before liberation, the reason why wealthy families and ordinary people got engaged was to give young people a reason to have normal contact.

Otherwise, gossip will definitely be inevitable.

No matter how you say it, He Yuzhu, who had no intention of getting married when he first came to this world, suddenly got engaged.

Even He Yuzhu himself was confused. The banquet was held in the small courtyard.

Uncle Qian and Uncle Gan will naturally accompany you. Even Aunt Gan has a place today. She is a great matchmaker!
At the wine table, except for Yu's father who still had a reluctant look on his face, everyone else was very happy.

Especially He Daqing, the one who smiled was no longer the mutated Wu Yanzu, but the one who was reborn as a mountain eagle.

Naturally, getting engaged will not be such a simple matter. The key point is to send four-color gifts to the woman's home.This is also the intention of the Yu family to tell other families that their girl has a family, and the gangsters from the maternal family should not mess with her in the future.

He Yuzhu always thought that the four-color ceremony was tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, at least that was the way it was in later generations.

Who knows that it is not the case at all, and who knows who Liu Ping heard it from.The four-color gift she prepared turned out to be two big geese, two big fish, and four ribs with meat. She even went home and cut them several times, leaving only the middle part connected.Of course, there are eight pieces of pastries that are indispensable.

After all preparations were completed, He Yuzhu's Geng Tie was placed at the top.

When He Yuzhu thought it was over, Liu Ping took the cypress branches and put the chopsticks inside again.Of course they are all even numbers.

He Yuzhu regretted it, quite a bit.If I had known that getting engaged would be so troublesome, why the hell were you so mean-mouthed in the first place?

If you don’t kiss, nothing will happen!
When He Yuzhu followed He Daqing and Aunt Gan out of Yu's house, his face was frozen with laughter!
Anyway, I don’t know anything, so I just listen to other people’s arrangements.

The rib meat in the basket was torn in half by the Yu family, and half of it was brought back. Of course, the Gengtie on it was replaced by Yu Li's.There are also some other gifts in return according to customs of the Yu family.

In fact, all of this depends on the wealth of materials.In recent years, supplies have been abundant, and it is impossible for a family like He Daqing to be short of such money.This is the four-color ceremony of whole goose and whole fish.

In the next few years, supplies will not be so good. Where can I get meat and geese for you?
Later, it slowly turned into sugar, tea, tobacco and alcohol. This was originally just a helpless move.As for why this will always be the case in the future, it’s just that the level is getting higher and higher.It can only be said that it is driven by interests and influenced by culture.

Just like in this era, some conditions were not as good as those of the Qing Dynasty. A pair of chopsticks and two cypress branches can also represent two of the four-color rituals.

Chinese people have never said that they can't change their customs!
Of course, getting engaged doesn't come without its benefits.For example, Yu Li can go to the small courtyard to wash clothes and quilts for He Yuzhu openly.

Before getting engaged, Yu Li would definitely be criticized by her neighbors when she came over.But now, people are so generous and generous, even the old revolutionary Qian and the old man are called one by one.

Of course, this also has something to do with Yu Li helping old man Qian wash and dry the quilt.

This isn’t Yu Li’s deliberate flattery or anything like that!I just saw that He Yuzhu has a good relationship with Uncle Qian, that’s all incidental!

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!
　It’s too difficult to write. The key to a certain degree of folklore research is that the input is the Four-Nine Cities, but the result is that there are all over the world, but there is no Four-Nine Cities.
