Chapter 52: Becoming a Widow Just After Marriage
Xu Youliang chatted with the man surnamed Liu for a long time. After they agreed on the price, he returned home satisfied.
"Why are you back so late?"
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jia Zhang looking at him with a frown.
"Haha, there was a little trouble, but everything is solved!"
Xu Youliang smiled and said,
"I ordered two large jars of Niulanshan and hired a chef from Xinfenglou. Don't worry, Xiao Zhang. I will definitely satisfy you at noon tomorrow!"
"Xinfenglou?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Zhang's eyes widened immediately, with a look of disbelief on her face.
Xinfenglou is one of the eight largest hotels in Beijing and a famous restaurant. She never thought that her man would invite the chef from Xinfenglou.
But think about it, He Daqing's Fengze Garden is second only to Badalou. If one wants to surpass He Daqing's food, it seems that the only way to compete is to invite the chef of Badayuan.
Jia Zhang knew that Xu Youliang had saved a lot of money over the years, but she didn't expect that he would be so willing to spend it to support her.
In an instant, all the unpleasantness that happened during the day was swept away.
"Xiao Zhang, look...it's getting late, how about we?"
Xu Youliang chuckled and looked at Jia Zhang with anticipation.
After being single for more than 30 years, he finally has a wife today. I heard that the taste of women is very ecstasy, and once you get addicted, you can't stop. I don't know if it's true or not.
Now that they were officially married, he naturally wanted to proceed to the final stage.
"You've been running all day, take a shower first!"
When Jia Zhang heard this, her pretty face immediately blushed.
She had been a widow for many years and her land was overgrown with weeds. Seeing Xu Youliang staring at her, she couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
But after all, it was the first time that the two of them were so close, so Jia Zhang was somewhat uncomfortable.
"okay!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Youliang ran to boil water excitedly.
In this day and age, especially in winter, taking a bath is not convenient.
You can take a shower in the summer, but in the winter, many families in the north just wipe their bodies with a hot towel and consider it cleansing.
If there are people who are willing to do so, they will go to a special bathhouse to have a good bath.
Xu Youliang's family was poor, and after simply washing himself, he rushed towards Jia Zhang like a tiger coming down the mountain.
Three seconds later.
"There is food..."
Jia Zhang, who was lying below, had just closed his eyes, ready to enjoy the strength of this fierce bull, but suddenly found that Xu Youliang had collapsed on him and stopped moving...
Jia Zhang, "..."
She suddenly realized something and felt bored.
I haven't even started to feel anything yet, and it's already over?
"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhang, I was so excited that I couldn't help it..."
Xu Youliang's voice came from the darkness.
"It's okay, it's always like this the first time. Let's take it slow!"
Jia Zhang sighed helplessly in her heart, thinking that it was really disappointing. She finally felt the feeling, but the result was like this...
But then I thought, doesn't this just show that Xu Youliang is a decent person? That's a good thing.
After a while, Jia Zhang was so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly felt some movement beside her.
Jia Zhang was afraid that Xu Youliang would get nervous, so she didn't move and continued pretending to sleep.
However, after a few seconds, Xu Youliang became motionless again...
Jia Zhang, "..."
I thought that getting married would satisfy my needs, but now it seems that Xu Youliang is a guy with only strength but no skills at all.
If I marry a man like this, wouldn't that be like being a widow?
She was lying there alive and well, but she couldn't do anything. This was more painful than being a widow!
"Oh, my life, why is it so hard?"
"Am I destined to be a widow in this life?"
In the darkness, Jia Zhang's silent sigh was heard.
A tear flowed down her cheeks involuntarily, but there was no way to regret it now. It was already very difficult for her to get married for the second time, not to mention that her son Jia Dongxu was still waiting to get married. So she just had to live like this!
Anyway, it's the same for her whether there is a man or not!
"Hululu..."
After a moment, deafening snoring was heard from the side.
Jia Zhang, "..."
How will I live my life from now on...
at the same time.
The middle courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.
The room is filled with wedding characters, creating an especially festive atmosphere.
He Daqing and Qin Huairu sat on the bed, but did not rush into the bridal chamber. Instead, they were counting the money for the wedding gift in front of them.
Qin Huairu had never seen so much money in her life. She felt a special sense of accomplishment as she counted the bills one by one.
He Daqing, on the other hand, was looking at the gift list carefully.
He was not surprised at all that Xu Wude's family gave him a twenty-dollar gift. Although Xu Wude acted like a loud and arrogant person on weekdays, he was actually extremely timid and had completely controlled himself.
As for the others, their conditions were average and they basically just contributed two or five dollars, so it was nothing.
The only thing that surprised He Daqing was that Yi Zhonghai, who lived next door, actually gave him fifty yuan at once.
These days, many people don’t even earn that much in a month.
Yi Zhonghai was so generous. All my help over the past few days was not in vain.
"Maybe it also includes Tao Huilan's blessing?"
He Daqing muttered to himself.
"Daqing, I've counted it. It's a total of three hundred and twenty-five dollars!"
"Oh my god, we're rich!"
While He Daqing was stunned, Qin Huairu's excited voice came from the opposite side.
More than 300 yuan is enough for many people's annual salary and can buy many things. She has never been so rich.
"Daqing, how should we arrange this money?"
After taking a deep breath, Qin Huairu looked at He Daqing with burning eyes.
Now that I'm married, I naturally have to listen to the head of the family.
"You take it!"
He Daqing, however, looked calm and took Qin Huairu into his arms.
"We will be living together from now on. Take this money and buy whatever you want. I don't want to worry about it!"
More than three hundred yuan is a huge sum of money for Qin Huairu, but it is nothing for He Daqing. He got several hundred yuan in rewards from the system just for the collected emotion points for his wedding today.
"You are so worry-free. Aren't you afraid that I will spend money recklessly?"
Qin Huairu lay in He Daqing's arms, and her heart was particularly sweet.
She didn't expect that He Daqing actually trusted her so much and gave her more than 300 yuan just like that. There might not be many men who dote on their wives like this in the whole city!
"But I can't spend this money carelessly. We'll have children in the future, and there will be many places to spend money. I'll save it first!"
Qin Huairu sorted the money carefully, then looked around the room and prepared to hide the money in the cabinet.
However, just as he was about to stand up, he was hugged tightly by He Daqing.
"Huai Ru, money is a small matter. Having a baby is a big deal. Now is a good day, the baby will definitely be smart!"
Qin Huairu's ears turned red when she heard this.
"Oh, let me put the money in first..."
"I'll go first..."
"..."
