Chapter 46 Married on the Same Day
“This yard is nice!”
Xu Youliang from the grain store followed Jia Zhang all the way to the central courtyard. Looking at the furnishings around him, he couldn't help but nod secretly.
The courtyards here are clean and tidy, much more spacious and cleaner than the large tenement where I live.
I wish I could live here too.
While he was in a daze, he saw a young man walking out of the room. Xu Youliang quickly collected his thoughts and handed the snack in his hand to him with a smile.
"You are Dongxu, right? You look really energetic. I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some snacks..."
Because Xu Youliang was too ugly and couldn't speak well, he had been on dozens or even hundreds of blind dates. However, after meeting the girl once, he would not contact her the next day.
He waited until he was in his thirties and it was difficult to find a wife. But when he saw how beautiful Jia Zhang was, he fell in love with her on the spot.
Even though he knew that Jia Zhang was a widow with a child, he was still happy.
If I don't get married, I'm afraid I'll be single for the rest of my life.
"Oh, hello, hello, Uncle Xu, right? Come in and sit down!"
Jia Dongxu did not go to work today, and was waiting for Xu Youliang to come. Although he was mentally prepared, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Xu Youliang's appearance.
He didn't expect that there were such ugly people in the world.
But since his mother likes it, he has no objection. After all, his mother is also getting married for the second time, while she is getting married for the first time. So when compared, she is not at a disadvantage.
"Uncle Xu, I believe in my mother's judgment. As long as you two can live a good life, I have no objection."
After chatting for a while, Jia Dongxu directly expressed his opinion.
"I just don't know when you plan to get married."
Yes, the sooner Xu Youliang marries my mother, the sooner the house can be vacated, and then he can be with Xu Huizhi sooner.
Xu Youliang, who was originally a little nervous and worried that Jia Dongxu would not agree, became excited immediately when he heard that Jia Dongxu agreed.
God knows how he managed to survive being single for more than 30 years. He must be eager to get married soon.
Xu Youliang glanced at Jia Zhang who was standing beside him, with a lewd smile on his face.
"Of course, the sooner the better. I plan to marry your mother in a formal ceremony, but this matter still depends on your mother. I will listen to her!"
Poor Xu Youliang, he had never been in contact with a woman, and in just a few days, he was already under the control of Jia Zhang.
Logically speaking, since Jia Zhang was getting married for the second time, getting a marriage certificate and bringing her home for a meal would be considered a marriage.
But Xu Youliang was getting married for the first time, and he had been bullied by his neighbors for years, so naturally he wanted to show off his wealth.
Yes, even though I’m single for so many years, I have saved a lot of money.
Jia Zhang, who was standing by, felt very happy when she heard this.
Even though he knew that I was a remarried woman, he still wanted to hold a wedding with me, which shows that Xu Youliang cares about me.
Just when he was about to push the matter to his son and let Jia Dongxu set a date for them, he heard a knock on the door, accompanied by He Daqing's voice.
"Dongxu, is Dongxu at home?"
"Uncle He?"
Jia Dongxu stood up, lifted the door curtain, and looked at He Daqing curiously.
"Uncle He, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Yes."
He Daqing casually stuffed a handful of candy into Jia Dongxu's hand.
"Dongxu, Qin Huairu and I have set a wedding date. It will be on New Year's Day. Please help us out then."
According to custom, invitations are usually sent out half a month before the wedding. As the wedding date is approaching, He Daqing plans to invite everyone in the courtyard.
The more lively the better, as long as it's among neighbors.
Even though he disliked Jia Zhang, it wouldn't be bad to give some money as a gift.
"We're getting married on New Year's Day. Congratulations. Don't worry, Uncle He. I'll definitely go when the time comes!"
When Jia Dongxu heard that He Daqing and Qin Huairu were going to get married, he immediately agreed.
Now that he is about to be with Xu Huizhi, he is not so opposed to the marriage of He Daqing and Qin Huairu.
On the contrary, he was full of gratitude to He Daqing because He Daqing gave him advice and gave him hope again.
"and many more!"
However, at this moment, a voice came from behind.
Suddenly, Jia Zhang came over.
"Oh, it's the Qing Dynasty!"
Jia Zhang crossed her arms and looked at He Daqing with a smug look on her face.
"Daqing, what a coincidence. I also plan to get married on the 1st. Look, our two families are colliding."
Originally, Jia Zhang had not set a date, but when she heard that He Daqing was going to marry Qin Huairu on New Year's Day, she became angry.
He Daqing had snatched away her daughter-in-law. If it weren't for He Daqing, it would be her son Jia Dongxu who would be getting married now.
Moreover, since Xu Youliang wanted to marry her, it would be better to do it on the same day as He Daqing to suppress his arrogance.
"Hey, sister-in-law, you are not kidding, right?"
He Daqing exclaimed in surprise and looked Jia Zhang up and down curiously.
My goodness, this woman actually wants to remarry?
"What a joke, you, He Daqing, can get married, why can't I?"
Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips, snorted coldly, and called out to the back.
"We have food, come here!"
"Hey, good!"
The honest Xu Youliang approached the door with a lewd smile on his face, and almost scared He Daqing.
My goodness, this dark face and small triangular squinting eyes, if it were a door god, it could be used to ward off evil spirits.
Jia Zhang grabbed Xu Youliang's arm and looked at He Daqing proudly.
"Formally introduce, this is my boyfriend Xu Youliang. He works at the grain station, and after the New Year, he might be an accountant."
In those days, food was precious, and working in a food station gave people a sense of having enough to eat. And accounting was a very good job, not to mention in the 1950s, even in later times.
Jia Zhang took Xu Youliang's arm and smiled at He Daqing.
"Youliang and I hit it off right away and were planning to get married on New Year's Day. We were just about to go door to door to announce the good news, but you got there first. But it doesn't matter, since you're here, we've already notified everyone."
Xu Youliang also cooperated and stretched out his hand to shake hands with He Daqing.
"What a coincidence, we're getting married on the same day, let's celebrate together!"
The corner of He Daqing's mouth twitched, and he secretly admired Jia Zhang's heavy taste. In order to get married, she was willing to marry such a black charcoal. When she slept at night, he didn't know whether she was scary with the lights on or off.
However, since Jia Zhang was getting married and He Daqing was getting married, it would not be a problem even if they got married on the same day. So He Daqing showed a fake smile on his face.
"That's great, we can have the wedding on the same day, and the yard will be lively."
As he spoke, he shook hands with Xu Youliang enthusiastically.
