Chapter 221 New Marriage Law

Chapter 221 New Marriage Law
Turning back, I saw Xu Damao stretching his neck to look towards the gate of the courtyard.

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head.

"How would I know that?
Anyway, judging by the sound, he should be at the gate. If you want to know, just go outside and take a look. It won’t take much time.”

“I’m not going!

My dad and the others are back, I have to finish my share of grapes quickly.
Otherwise, there will be nothing for me to do later. "

While Xu Damao was talking, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi also quickened their pace in eating the grapes. It seemed that they had made up their minds to keep their portion for themselves.

He Yushui and Li Qingshan were not slow either, they also quickly plucked the grapes one by one and stuffed them into their mouths.
He Jianguo, who was so anxious that he couldn't even speak, also started to scream,
But no one paid any attention to him.

When everyone had almost finished eating the grapes, He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai and others also walked into the courtyard.
Hearing his youngest son's anxious call, He Daqing immediately looked over.
"Zhu Zi, what are you doing?!"

Before He Yuzhu could speak, Yan Bugui in the crowd saw He Yuzhu and the others sitting under the grape tree, and subconsciously looked towards the grape trellis.
Then he said loudly,
"Zhu Zi, it's only been a short while, how come you have picked all the grapes? You didn't even leave some for us."

Then he saw Yan Jiecheng put the last grape into his mouth.

Yan Bugui immediately became angry.

"Yan Jiecheng, you little bastard, this is how you treat your father, right? I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

Seeing that his father was about to punish him, Yan Jiecheng immediately pointed at his own home.

"Dad, there are more at home.

We gave out grapes to every household, and this bunch was given to me by Zhuzi and Damao."

Hearing that there was someone else at home, Yan Bugui's expression eased a little, but then he said loudly again,

"What Zhuzi and Damao gave you is yours?
Aren’t these also my Yan family’s things? As long as they are Yan family’s things, I, the head of the family, have to divide them. When did it become your turn, a little bastard, to make the decision?

Next time, be careful I will beat you."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng hiding his head and not saying anything, Yi Zhonghai jumped out to smooth things over.
"Okay, Old Yan, Mrs. Zhang finally came back from the smoking cessation center. Today is a happy day, so don't spoil our fun!

It's just a bunch of grapes. They ate it, so it's no big deal."

After talking about Yan Bugui,
Yi Zhonghai then said hello to He Yuzhu and the other kids,

"Zhu Zi, Damao, your Aunt Zhang is back, come and meet her."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's greeting, those who didn't know would think he was welcoming some important person, but Jia Zhangshi and He Yuzhu naturally would not move.
"Uncle, Aunt Zhang has quit smoking for six months, and this is not a glorious thing.

And I heard that Aunt Zhang didn't cooperate with the staff at the smoking cessation center at all, which really pissed them off.

What catches your eyes?"

While he was speaking, he finally saw Jia Zhang in the crowd.

Although Jia Zhang was much thinner than at the beginning of the year, she was obviously in much better spirits.

The marks left by smoking on his face have also disappeared.

"Aunt Zhang, you just quit smoking and came out of the smoking cessation center. Do you really need a group of people from the courtyard to pick you up?

This is quite a grand occasion."

Hearing He Yuzhu's ridicule, Jia Zhang's expression did not change, but she looked at the only bunch of grapes left in his hand and swallowed.

"Zhu Zi, do you want to eat the grapes in your hand? If not, how about giving them to Aunt Zhang? I haven't eaten any fruit in more than half a year."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "So what if you haven't eaten fruit for a few years? It's none of his business."

At the same time, he directly refused.

"That won't do. Didn't you see how anxious our Jianguo is? He keeps yelling,
You don’t want to compete with an 8-month-old baby for food, do you? "

Looking at He Jianguo sitting on He Yuzhu's lap and watching the grapes rushing, Jia Zhang knew that He Yuzhu was trying to evade her, and her face looked very unhappy.

However, He Daqing next to him said hastily,

"Zhuzi, feed Jianguo grapes. He is so young, how can he eat grapes?"

Knowing what He Daqing was worried about, He Yuzhu quickly said,
"No, I just gave him some juice to try. I didn't give him any grapes because I was afraid he would choke!"

"That's pretty much it!"

While heaving a sigh of relief, He Daqing looked at Jia Zhang and said,
"Mrs. Zhang, didn't Jie Cheng just say that they gave grapes to every household? Don't fight with the kids for them!"

"Okay, then Dongxu and I will go back first and come out after dinner."

After saying this, Jia Zhang hurriedly walked towards the central courtyard of the Jia family, whom she had not visited for half a year.

After Jia Zhang and her son left, Xu Damao looked at Xu Fugui and asked,
"Dad, what was Aunt Zhang howling for just now?
If she hadn't been away from the courtyard for the past six months, I would have thought that someone had borrowed rice from his family and returned chaff."

"What can be,
In May, the State Council promulgated the new Marriage Law.
The marriage age has been raised from 18 for men and 16 for women to 20 for men and 18 for women.

Their Jia Dongxu is just 18 years old.
They could still get married at the beginning of the year. When Mrs. Zhang went to the smoking cessation center for a while and was ready to come out to find a partner for Jia Dongxu,
It turned out that Jia Dongxu no longer met the conditions for marriage and had to wait another two years.

Do you think she should howl these two times? "

When Xu Damao heard about this, he immediately laughed.

"It's time to howl, these two howls,

If it weren't for Aunt Zhang smoking at the beginning of the year, Jia Dongxu would have been married by now, and his sister-in-law might even be pregnant.
Now it’s okay, but it will take another two years. Who knows what the situation will be like in two years.”

Seeing the father and son gloating over their misfortune, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted them.

"I say, Lao Xu, you've got to stop. Mrs. Zhang is already upset.
Why do you have to bring this up? "

"Hey, isn't Mrs. Zhang here? She can't hear you, so what's wrong with saying a few words?"

"Well, let's disperse!"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai saying that the show was over, Yan Bugui was not happy.
"Don't, Lao Yi, when you left, you said that you and Dong Xu would pay to set up a few tables in the courtyard to entertain Mrs. Zhang tomorrow night.

The specific rules haven't been finalized yet.

Where are you going!

If we don't bring her back, the matter will be irrelevant, then I won't have to go with you and Jia Dongxu to pick her up."

Not only Yan Bugui, but others were also asking about the banquet.

He Yuzhu then realized that the reason they all went to the smoking cessation center to pick up Jia Zhang was because of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu.
