Actually, He Yuzhu wanted to visit Yang Yue's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He had been here for a long time, and he only had one sister. It had been a long time since he had experienced the love of his parents and the warmth of a family. If he could spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Yang Yue's family, it would be a lively and warm scene.
However, Yang Yue was still not too open about it. She felt that it was too formal for her first visit to such a big festival.
Although dating at this time was fast-paced, from blind dates to marriage, they might not have met many times before entering the bridal chamber, which was also known as "flash marriage" in later generations.
However, she and He Yuzhu could be considered to be in a free relationship. Without a matchmaker, there was no one to help with the meeting of the parents to discuss the betrothal gifts. They could only fumble around on their own.
On the afternoon of the 29th, he went to the capital's No. 11 Girls 'High School to pick up He Yushui. Along the way, the little girl chattered to her brother about the interesting things that had happened in school recently. This month, the little girl had adapted very quickly in school, and her self-care ability had also improved rapidly.
Although she could clean up the house and do the laundry, she had never lived in a collective environment before. At first, it was inevitable that there would be unexpected things that made her flustered.
The little girl had never cried with him, but every Sunday when she came back, she would be especially happy to eat her brother's cooking. It seemed that the food in the school canteen was indeed not as delicious as the food cooked by a chef like him.
Every week, he would bring a bottle of meat sauce, a bottle of jam, and eight to ten pieces of bread for her. He was not a stingy person. Other than eating for himself, he would often give it to his roommates.
Although it wasn't anything valuable, the girls were still very happy to have a side dish when they ate together in the dormitory.
He Yuzhu brought his sister and the Deaf Old Lady to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. He Yuzhu brought the ingredients to the factory to borrow the oven and made some mooncakes. In addition, he made some peach cakes, oven fruits, and other snacks.
He gave some to Factory Manager Yang, Deputy Factory Manager Liu, Lin Dazhong, and Zhu Haiyang. After all, he had to go back to the factory after graduation, and he still had a long time to deal with these people.
Taking advantage of the current situation where there was some distance between them, they could walk around more and get closer to each other to appear more sincere.
In the evening, He Yuzhu brought the mooncakes and some desserts that he made to Li Yugang's house. It was not because he wanted to thank Li Yugang for helping him edit the manuscript or anything. It was purely because he wanted to visit Li Yugang as an elder.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. There was nothing much to do during the day, but he was about to meet Yang Yue's parents. He was still a little nervous.
Rainwater went out to play with her friends, so he decided to chat with the Deaf Grandmother.
This old lady was a family of soldiers and martyrs supported by the state. She had experienced the Jin Dynasty, warlords, and the founding of the People's Country. Her experience and experience were not comparable to ordinary people.
Having experienced the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of warlords, the Deaf Old Lady could be said to be well-informed. It was a piece of cake for her to guide him in the next step of his engagement and marriage with Yang Yue.
He carried the deaf old lady to a chair in the courtyard and sat down to bask in the autumn sun. At this time, the capital was in the autumn season. The sun was not dry and the wind was not cold. It was a good time to relax.
He made a cup of tea for the old lady, took some melon seeds and peanuts, and sat down to chat.
Before he could open his mouth, the Deaf Old Lady asked him,""Thief, how are you and that girl Yang Yue doing? I haven't seen her visit for a while.”
He Yuzhu said," Old Madam, I'm going to her house to meet her parents on the second. I'm feeling very anxious. Please help me to think about it."”
The deaf old lady was amused." Alright, alright. I'll go and meet my parents now. You two got together on your own. You don't have a matchmaker."
However, it's fine. If her parents have a good impression of you after meeting her, you can look for your leader or her leader to be the witness of the marriage. You can help to lead the conversation and see what conditions she has.”
He Yuzhu said,"Yeah, anyway, if the family wants to prepare a three-turn-one-ring or something, it's not a problem to get a hundred yuan betrothal gift."
Her family lived in the military retirement home, so she probably wouldn't take such superficial matters too seriously. But no matter what, as long as her family had a request, he would try his best to satisfy it.”
The Deaf Old Lady continued," The furniture in your room has just been changed, so there's nothing else to add. If you want it to be bright during your wedding, you can repaint the walls. When the time comes, you can paste the word 'happy' on the wall and the atmosphere will be lifted. It's this wedding date. When do you want it to be?”
He Yuzhu said,"If it's fast, it'll be at the end of the twelfth lunar month. If it's slow, it'll be May Day next year."”
"As long as you have the rules in mind," the Deaf old lady nodded. Don't be rude when you go. Prepare more gifts.
If you go, lower your attitude. I'm asking for marriage. Even after they got married, their wives had to be doted on. This couple had to respect and love each other to live a good life.”
It was almost dinner time when He Yushui came back. He gulped down half of the teacup in one go.
He put down the teacup and said to her brother,""Brother, I went to Yu Haitang's house to play today. Her sister, Yu Li, was asking about you and how you were doing after you went to university. Her mother was very warm to me and even brought me melon seeds and milk candy to eat.”
"What did you tell them?" He Yuzhu asked.”
"I said you're doing very well at Imperial University. You come back once a week and even make me delicious meat sauce to bring to school."”
He Yuzhu said," Alright, go wash your hands and wipe your face. We'll be eating soon."”
In the evening, He Yuzhu made four dishes and a soup. There was a big mooncake in the middle of the table. The three of them cut it and ate it. He Yuzhu said that he would let his sister write two essays in the next two days, one on the Mid-Autumn Festival and one on National Day.
He Yushui pouted." The donkeys in the production team are not ordered around like this. They don't even let people rest during the festival."”
He Yuzhu said," Since you want to study liberal arts in the future, you have to write more, practice more, and gain more insights. At your age, there's also 'Boyhood' that specially collects your contributions.”
"Since your brother can submit to Imperial Capital Daily, you can try submitting to 'Boyhood' too. If you can't get selected, you can use it as practice. If you get selected, you can use the money you earn as your pocket money.”
Hearing that he would get paid for his work, He Yushui's enthusiasm was piqued. After finishing his meal, he went back to write his essay.
He Yuzhu returned to his room, closed the door, and entered his space. He had to prepare the gift for Yang Yue's house.
Two bottles of meat sauce, two bottles of jam, two packs of Da Qian Men cigarettes, two bottles of old Fen wine, and then a packet of the baked peach cakes and roasted fruits. They were tied together with paper rope.
In addition, he bought two cans of milk powder from Harbor City. After thinking about it, Yang Yue said that his father's health was not good, so he packed two more ginsengs and a box of poria cocos. This way, he had eight gifts.
The next day, He Yuzhu brought He Yushui to the sky. Anmen Square was filled with the festive atmosphere. Although there was no military parade this year, there were still many people in the square. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces and was filled with the joy of the festival.
Not only did He Yuzhu take many photos of her sister, but she also used her camera to record the flourishing scene of this era. She also retained the simple and convincing smiles on the faces of the people of this era.
