Chapter 250 He Yushui Gets Married
Courtyard No. 95.
As soon as the morning glow illuminated half the sky, Sha Zhu couldn't wait to climb up.
He first walked around his sister's door, then made paste, pasted wedding characters, and then made breakfast and pastries.
According to the local custom, women must eat breakfast before getting married.
Longevity noodles symbolize a smooth future for the newlyweds, dumplings symbolize reunion and happiness, eggs symbolize new life and good luck, and glutinous rice balls symbolize a happy reunion.
Sha Zhu's family didn't have the conditions, so they prepared to make a bowl of noodles with an egg, let the noodles rest first, and then cook it in the morning.
I bought the pastries last night, so I'll make some steamed buns to go with them, which will be fine.
After a while, the light in He Yushui's room was turned on. Yuan Rongrong walked out of the room, fetched a basin of water and went back. She could vaguely see that He Yushui had gotten up.
By the time the steamed buns came out of the cage, it was already bright.
Auntie and Qin Huairu walked out of the house one after another. They washed themselves first, and then went into He Yushui's house together.
Today is a festive day.
There was no quarrel or playfulness. Those who needed to put on makeup put on makeup, and those who needed to tidy up tidied up.
Next came the rest of the people in the compound. Sha Zhu hurried out to make arrangements. Some people went to the entrance of the alley to report the groom, some went to prepare to set off firecrackers, and some helped to find a car to transport the dowry.
There were quite a few things in He Yushui's room, including several boxes, which all needed to be taken away.
Seeing more and more people gathering in the yard, Sha Zhu turned around and went back into the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a bowl of longevity noodles with eggs in it.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw He Yushui, who had two pigtails, still sorting her dressing box. She was wearing a green military uniform, a red hairband with a big red flower, which was quite eye-catching.
Sha Zhu wiped his eyes and put the bowl on the dressing table.
"Yushui, I made you longevity noodles. It's the custom of the city. I wish you a smooth and happy life. Eat it quickly."
He Yushui didn't say anything, just nodded and took the chopsticks.
Seeing that his sister was still a little angry, Sha Zhu didn't care and looked at Yuan Rongrong with a smile.
"Aunt Yuan, there's still some in the pot. Please wait a moment. I'll bring it to you."
Without waiting for Yuan Rongrong to reply, Sha Zhu hurried out of the house and came back with a bowl of noodles.
Yuan Rongrong hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
Seeing that both of them were eating the noodles, Sha Zhu rubbed his hands and was happy from the bottom of his heart.
But he didn't know that a pair of resentful eyes had been staring at him. This person was Qin Huairu. He had been busy for so long, but he didn't even ask a single question.
This is nothing, but she just can't stand the way Sha Zhu looks at Yuan Rongrong. A sour feeling permeates her whole body. Even Qin Huairu doesn't know whether she is jealous of Sha Zhu or jealous that Yuan Rongrong is more competitive than her.
Sha Zhu went out and continued to work. It was not that he was unwilling to entertain the neighbors who came to help, but there were too many people. He had no choice but to treat everyone to a meal at noon, so breakfast could be skipped.
As the sound of a string of firecrackers came from outside the yard, Sha Zhu hurried out. He knew that the wedding procession was coming.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he called his brother-in-law, Xiao Jianshe, who was wearing a police uniform and a big red flower on his chest and was striding into the alley. Several policemen followed behind him, each holding a bicycle in one hand, and some people next to them started to throw candies along the way, making it very lively.
When the group reached the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Jianshe stood at attention and saluted Sha Zhu, which made the latter flattered.
"Brother, I'm here to collect the rain water."
"Hey, come in, come in quickly."
Sha Zhu hurriedly called out and brought everyone to the central courtyard.
At this time, with no girlfriends blocking the door, Xiao Jianshe went straight into the rainwater house. The two newlyweds smiled at each other, their faces filled with sweet joy.
There were no elderly people in the He family, and there were not many formalities for welcoming the bride. Sha Zhu consciously stood at the door and squatted down.
"Yushui, come here. I will carry you on my back to get married."
As Sha Zhu spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red.
He Yushui also knew the process. She stood up and climbed onto Sha Zhu's back. As soon as she climbed up, an unconcealable emotion made her eyes wet instantly.
The two of them have depended on each other for so many years, it is impossible for them not to have deep feelings for each other.
Sha Zhu carried He Yushui on his back and slowly walked out of the compound, unconsciously slowing down his pace while greeting the people around him.
Once out of this door, He Yushui would become a member of another family, and Sha Zhu could not hide his reluctance to let her go.
Suddenly, he felt water dripping from his neck. He turned around and his heart ached again. He Yushui on his back was almost in tears.
"Don't cry, Rainwater. Today is your wedding day. Be happy."
Sha Zhu quickly calmed down and tried to persuade his sister.
He Yushui pouted and wiped her tears, then pinched Sha Zhu's shoulder hard.
"Brother, can't you be more motivated and find me a good sister-in-law? If you continue like this, our He family will be extinct."
"Yeah, got it. Let's not talk about this on your big day."
Sha Zhu knew what He Yushui meant. He looked down on Qin Huairu and asked him to find someone else.
"You just know how to be perfunctory!"
He Yushui pinched Sha Zhu hard again to express his dissatisfaction.
Before they knew it, they had reached the door.
At this time, Xiao Jianshe was already waiting at the door, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
Sha Zhu carefully placed He Yu Shui on the back seat of the bicycle, then took He Yu Shui's hand and placed it in Xiao Jianshe's hand.
"Jianshe, my sister is now in your care. Please treat her well."
"Don't worry, brother."
Xiao Jianshe felt that his words were not powerful enough and saluted again.
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's set off quickly." Sha Zhu said in pretended impatience.
He is just an ordinary citizen and cannot bear being saluted like this.
"it is good!"
Xiao Jianshe pushed his bicycle and walked out of the alley.
There was another burst of firecrackers. Sha Zhu watched He Yushui's departing back and waited until he disappeared at the entrance of the alley before returning to the yard.
There are still a lot of things to do, such as delivering the dowry and organizing the wedding banquet. I really don’t have time to be pretentious.
The young and middle-aged men in the courtyard became the main force. Everyone worked together to load the dowry onto the car smoothly and pushed it to the bridal chamber.
The wedding procession finally came to an end.
Xiao Jianshe's family couldn't hold a grand wedding because he was a public official, so only a few tables were set up in the yard. When Sha Zhu delivered his dowry and sat down as a member of her family, he saw a familiar figure.
Who else could it be but the beaming He Daqing.
At this time, He Daqing was having a heated conversation with Xiao Jianshe's father, and both of them were very open-minded.
The man prepared three turns and one ring, and also had a new house, and the private money that the woman brought was obviously more than one thousand, which was not much different.
So both parties are very satisfied, as long as the couple lives a prosperous life.
He Daqing also saw Sha Zhu, greeted him, and stood up to walk out.
Sha Zhu knew that he was looking for him, so he hurriedly followed.
This was the second time the father and son met in these years. The last time was in Baoding and they had a very unpleasant experience.
"I heard from Yu Shui that you still act like a brother."
As He Daqing spoke, he took out the money he had prepared and was about to give it to Sha Zhu.
"Here is five hundred dollars. I gave that much to Yu Shui for her marriage, and I will treat you equally. I don't care whether you find Widow Qin or someone else. That's all. Anyway, you have a house, a job, and your own opinions. I don't need to care."
Shazhu is such a stubborn guy, he won't accept it.
"I don't want your money, keep it for yourself!"
