Chapter 296 I Can't Decide on the Lord's Marriage

"Okay, since Sister Hongying has said so, then let's move.

I'm going to the police station to look for Brother Lin, and I'll ask him to come help you move."

"Alright, I'll go to the courtyard to pack my things now and move in when Lin Zheng arrives."

Coming out of the street government,

Seeing Li Hongying go to the courtyard first, He Yuzhu turned around and went to the branch to find Lin Zheng.
As soon as Lin Zheng heard He Yuzhu talking about moving Li Hongying, he immediately urged,
"I say you are really dishonest.
In order to help you take care of Yu Shui, Hong Ying stayed in the courtyard for more than three years. You delayed our marriage.
Now that you are back, let's go and help her move.
Just move directly to my place.”

He Yuzhu knew the reason why they had never gotten married. After hearing Lin Zheng's complaint, he smiled and said,

"Brother Lin, you and Sister Hongying are not married, but you can't put the blame on me.
If you are really anxious to get married, just get married in the courtyard. Who can stop you?

You don't get married because you are too busy with work.

I haven't found the time yet.

I suggest you take advantage of this opportunity when the subdistrict office and neighborhood committee are established and Sister Hongying and her friends get rid of the disputes among residents.

Just get married right away. It's not a good idea to delay it any longer."

"Hehe, that's exactly what I was thinking. Hurry up and help Hongying move first. Then I'll discuss the marriage with her."

The two walked quickly to the courtyard.
As soon as I entered, I saw Auntie and Jia Zhang and other women actively and enthusiastically helping Li Hongying pack her things.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others gathered their people and discussed how to help deliver it all at once.
He Yuzhu and Lin Zheng were unable to intervene at all.

Li Hongying kept expressing her gratitude to everyone.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu thought that these neighbors were really eager to get Li Hongying to move out. It seemed that she had been feeling depressed for too long.

Soon, without any mobilization, the neighbors in the courtyard helped Li Hongying pack up her things.

Then they all went to Li Hongying's dormitory,
He Yuzhu and his son were left to clean up the somewhat empty east wing.

"Dad, Uncle Yi and the others are really proactive. They were so eager to send Sister Hongying out of the courtyard."

Hearing this, He Daqing smiled dumbly and shook his head.

"Come on, you little brat,
Don't think I don't know that you are making up stories about Lao Yi and Lao Liu.

But I can understand them to some extent. The managers of other courtyards keep the special people in the courtyard in line.
There are only three of us, so we can't play any role at all. We can only listen to Director Li's arrangements.

After a long time, it is inevitable that you will have some ideas. "

Hearing He Daqing mention the special mouth, He Yuzhu asked in surprise,
"No, Dad, it seems that no one in our courtyard is a special guest. Uncle Yi and Uncle Liu can't clean up even if they want to."

"What do you know? Do you think other courtyards have special entrances?

After you left, the Military Control Commission executed Lin Wenhua and his men, and then many spies who were not guilty of capital crimes were assigned to various courtyards.
Let the managers supervise.

But when it was our turn, those who heard that Director Li, the target of the Forest Bureau, lived here, refused to be assigned to our courtyard.

There are nearly 10 courtyard houses in Beiping. Since they are unwilling to come, the Military Control Commission will naturally not force them.

This is why our Siheyuan has no special entrance for living.

Old Yi and Old Liu can't show off their power. " "Uh~"

After hearing He Daqing's explanation, He Yuzhu didn't know what to say.

All I can say is that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong have worked hard.

The father and son quickly made the kang, and then took out He Yuzhu's old quilts from the cabinet, and the moving was complete.

Then he heard He Daqing say,

"Zhu Zi, these clothes of yours are too small to wear. There are still some cloth coupons at home. Take them and make two more sets of clothes.
You will be 20 soon, so you need to find a partner.
By the way, you are the battalion commander after all. Have you found a girl you like during your years in the army? If so, bring her back to me as soon as possible."

Seeing that He Daqing immediately jumped to the topic of finding a partner and getting married,
He Yuzhu, who was somewhat unable to keep up with the rhythm, shook his head.
"You think fighting is just playing house. Except for a few departments such as the Cultural Corps and hospitals, there are female comrades in other units.

There are so many wolves and so little meat, how can I, who is not yet of marriageable age, get a chance?

What happened to the battalion commander? I don't know how many leaders are waiting for him."

I worked as a chef in Fengze Garden for three years. In particular, in the past two years, some of the old Russian customs have spread to Daxia, and there are often dances in the city.
He Daqing had seen quite a few scenes, so when he heard He Yuzhu talk about this, he just shut up.

"Since I haven't found a partner in the army, I'll find one in the city.
When you have settled down in your work, go to the dances with the young people in the city and see if you can find the right one by then."

Having said this, He Daqing then asked,
"By the way, Zhuzi, can you dance? Have you learned it in the army? If you can't, I'll ask Xiao'e to teach you.
Xiao'e has attended many dances in the past year or so.
But her family is a merchant family, and many young talents in the city don’t dare to dance with her.”

When He Daqing said that he wanted Lou Xiao'e to teach him to dance, even if He Yuzhu was slow to react, he realized what was going on in this era when men and women were still strictly separated.
Actually, he didn't dislike Lou Xiao'e.

Before the 80s, He Yuzhu just wanted to live a good life. He didn't want to rely on the system to do scientific research or climb up the ladder.

After all, no matter how high he climbs, he can't be higher than that person, and no matter how powerful his scientific research is, he can't be better than the Mushroom Group.

Married Lou Xiao'e,
Basically, I am doomed to be the manager of Fengze Garden for the rest of my life.

As a first-class combat hero who had made great contributions and a harmless cook who had a good reputation among the senior leaders, it was not difficult for him to protect Lou Xiaoe.

No one would have nothing better to do than to provoke him.

But his say on the matter of marriage doesn’t count, and neither does He Daqing’s say.

"Dad, you really thought of letting Xiao'e teach me how to dance. How could a lady from a wealthy family do such a thing?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu's words hinted at rejection, He Daqing said impatiently,
"Why, you still don't want to?
Don't you think about the fact that your Uncle Lou was helping us in the past few years? Your Aunt Bai said she would resign from the steel mill, so she resigned. She said she would go to work, so she went to work.
Your father and I were temporary workers at the steel mill, and that was arranged by your uncle Lou.

What, do you want to be ungrateful or something? "

"Uh, I don't mean that. I'm just worried about Xiao'e's reputation!"

"Bullshit, I've seen dances held by various departments in Peking before, and they were all full of hugs and kisses, so who are they bothering?

It would ruin your reputation if you come to Xiao'e!"

Seeing He Daqing questioning him angrily, He Yuzhu whispered,
"Dad, is it possible that neither you nor I have the final say on my marriage?"
