Yi Zhonghai, who left early, went to the vegetable market and bought a yellow croaker, but he couldn't buy any meat or chicken. He could only buy some pig head meat, and then fried eggs and cabbage when he went home, which was enough for four dishes. It should be enough to entertain He Yuzhu, after all, it is not easy for anyone nowadays.

After writing a work report for a long time, He Yuzhu only wrote part of it. He felt a little upset and thought that he was too impatient. He held a cigarette in his mouth and left the steel rolling mill on his bicycle without saying hello to Zhang Daquan.

He Yuzhu came to Cathay Photo Studio again. This time he came just to take one-inch photos.

After taking the photos, he thought about whether he should buy a camera to record every moment of himself and Xu Xiaonan, and take pictures of Xizhimen and other places that will be demolished in the future. Considering that he also wanted to buy a recliner, he came here Nearby Beixinqiao Trust Store.

I walked around and couldn't find it, so I asked the waiter. He Yuzhu was able to get help from the female waiter because of his appearance.

Under the guidance of the enthusiastic service staff, He Yuzhu successfully found a counter selling cameras.

Looking at the dazzling array of cameras in the counter, He Yuzhu was a little dazzled. New cameras require tickets to buy, and only some second-hand ones can be bought with money.

With the enthusiastic help of the waiter, He Yuzhu chose a domestically produced Modu brand camera. This is a second-hand camera, which is 80% new. It has been appraised by professionals from the trust store. Except for a little wear and tear, all other functions are normal. , but the price is not cheap. A second-hand camera costs more than 60 yuan.

He Yuzhu happily asked the service staff to make an order. He also bought 4 rolls of film and spent another 20 yuan. Each roll costs 5 yuan, which is expensive!

Mainly because this thing can only be imported now, and it is expensive. He looked at the place of production and found that it was produced in the country of hot springs in the west.

No wonder most people can't afford a camera. Not to mention that buying a new camera costs more than 100 yuan. Film alone is a huge consumer of money. If you don't know how to develop it yourself, you have to go to a photo studio and spend money to develop photos. This is another huge expense. Not a small expense.

Thinking that not only would it be troublesome to find someone to develop the photos, but it would also cost money, he asked the staff if they had a complete set of photo development materials. After receiving a positive reply, He Yuzhu spent more than 20 yuan and bought a bunch of them. Tools and materials, including developer tank, timer, developer, bleach, fixer, stabilizer, etc.

In just a short while, He Yuzhu spent more than eighty yuan. The female waiter was dumbfounded and kept chatting with him. When she learned that He Yuzhu was married, her eyes dimmed, and she thought to herself Missed the "Prince Charming" in my heart!

He Yuzhu took the purchased items and started shopping in the trust store, and soon found a place selling chairs.

He walked up and asked if there were any folding recliners for sale. The male service staff was very talkative and did not give him any trouble. He took him to the place where the recliners were stored and let He Yuzhu choose by himself.

In addition to choosing a mid-Qing Dynasty recliner, He Yuzhu also accidentally discovered a good thing, which was written as a mid-Qing mahogany spring chair, and it came in a complete set, with two spring chairs and a coffee table. He couldn't tell what kind of wood it was, so he bought it anyway It was a profit when he saw it, so he bought it without any hesitation.

It turns out that this set of chairs was put on consignment in the trust store in the past two days. However, the price is not cheap and they are not sold separately. The complete set is priced at 50 yuan. It has been sitting here for several days without anyone paying attention to it. Finally, it was picked up by a discerning eye.

He Yuzhu discovered it.

Because most of the mahogany tables and chairs in trust stores now cost between 8 yuan and 10 yuan, and because they are worn out, most people don’t like old things and pursue new things.

In addition to the folding recliner he just bought, He Yuzhu spent another 80 yuan. If Xu Xiaonan were here, he would probably have to pinch He Yuzhu's waist and pull his ears. How could he spend money so lavishly?

!

He spent 50 cents to find someone to help deliver the things to the courtyard of his new home. Looking at this set of chairs, He Yuzhu touched his chin and showed an inexplicable smile.

If Xu Xiaonan sees He Yuzhu like this, he can guess that he must have no good intentions!

After Yi Zhonghai returned home from shopping, he started to help his aunt cook. While cooking, her aunt retched several times.

Yi Zhonghai didn't pay attention at first, but when Auntie smelled the steamed yellow croaker, she felt nauseous again and wanted to vomit. Yi Zhonghai suddenly thought of something, and excitedly asked Auntie to rest first, and he would cook the rest of the dishes.

.

When the eldest mother saw Yi Zhonghai's excited look, she wondered if she was pregnant. She counted the days and found that they were close, but she wasn't sure.

She thought it would be better to wait for He Yuzhu to come back and let him take a look. With an uneasy feeling, Auntie was helped to go to bed to rest.

When He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, he put away his bicycle, said hello to a few people who were still working, and looked around. He found that the fireplace had been installed and the floor of the entire house had been replaced with cement. According to Sun Erniu

Introduction, the cement has hardened more than half, and you can walk on it gently. The walls have been painted white, giving them a brand new look!

He Yuzhu went to the bathroom and kitchen to check and found that the flush toilet had not been installed yet. Sun Erniu explained that the installation could not be done until the cement was harder tomorrow. All the pipes had been laid, so they could just wait until they were installed tomorrow.

Seeing the tall chimney behind the house, He Yuzhu felt very satisfied. From now on, he could cook at home without having to worry about the whole courtyard knowing what he had cooked.

After checking it out, He Yuzhu also invited Sun Erniu to go to the uncle's house for a meal. Sun Erniu shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing that the sky was starting to get dark, Sun Erniu and others began to pack their things and prepare to leave.

When He Yuzhu came to Yi Zhonghai's house, he saw that the uncle was still busy. Mainly because he used to cook for the aunt, but today he suddenly took over, and he felt a little rushed. When He Yuzhu came in, he had just finished cooking the last dish.

Pour into the pot.

Seeing the old man's clumsiness, He Yuzhu walked over and took the wok from the old man's hand, and helped prepare the last hot and sour cabbage and put it on the table.

When he came, He Yuzhu brought over a bottle of Erguotou. As soon as he sat on the stool, the first uncle explained to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzhu, your eldest mother felt a little nauseous and vomiting this afternoon. I wondered if she was pregnant."

I quickly let her go inside to rest, so I cooked today’s dishes!”

"So that's it, what else to eat first? Take me to see my aunt first, otherwise you won't feel at ease eating this meal!" He Yuzhu said jokingly.

"You are worthy of being a section chief. You have never convinced anyone in your life. I admire you so much today. You are so old. Now is the time for you young people to show off your talents!" Yi Zhonghai said with emotion.

.

"Master, please stop praising me. I will be proud. Let's go see Auntie as soon as possible!"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai leading He Yuzhu over, Auntie was about to stand up and get down excitedly. He Yuzhu hurriedly ran over and held down Auntie, "Auntie, you don't have to get up, just lie down. Don't let your moods fluctuate. Do this to me first."

Learn to take a few deep breaths to calm down your excitement, otherwise you will be inaccurate in taking your pulse!"

The eldest mother followed He Yuzhu's words and took a few deep breaths. The excitement slowly calmed down. He Yuzhu felt his veins with both hands. In the expectant eyes of the eldest father and the eldest mother, he said: "Congratulations, one day.

Auntie! Master, you’d better take Auntie to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow, but don’t be too excited, it’s not good for your health!”

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists to express his inner excitement and excitement. If he could roar loudly, I believe his voice would be heard throughout the courtyard!

After many years, the big stone that had been weighing on my heart was finally removed. Yi Zhonghai held He Yuzhu's hand in tears and said in a sob: "Zhuzhu, thank you, sir!"

"Master, please don't do this. Mom still needs you to take care of her. From now on, she will have to stay in bed more often. After all, she is a bit old. Although she has taken medicine and Chinese medicine to regulate her body, she still needs to be careful.

So good!”

After reacting, Yi Zhonghai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said happily: "I'm just so happy. You're right. I will be needed to do everything at home in the future. Fortunately, there is basically no need for anyone at the old lady's side now."

Take care of it, I will just deliver food to the old lady when the time comes!"

Having said this, Yi Zhonghai remembered something, turned back to the cabinet, found 200 yuan and handed it to He Yuzhu, "I know you know a lot of people, can you help me find someone to exchange for a bicycle ticket? I

I think it will be more convenient to have a bicycle if I need to come back to cook at noon every day!"

Looking at the 200 yuan handed over by Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu took out 10 and gave the rest to Yi Zhonghai. He said with a smile: "These are almost enough. If you give back more, you will have to replenish more. And the eldest mother will need to replenish more in the future.

You can keep this money, I’m not short of money either!”

Yi Zhonghai saw that He Yuzhu really didn't want it, so he accepted the 100 yuan handed over by He Yuzhu, "Zhuzhu, this..."

"Okay, Master, stop talking about this, let's leave it at that! There's another thing. You can hide it as long as you can about Mom's pregnancy. You know,

Master!" After saying that, He Yuzhu gave the master a meaningful look!

After Yi Zhonghai settled down with his aunt, he didn't even bother to eat. After telling He Yuzhu, he quietly went to the backyard and shared this exciting secret with the old lady.

After the old lady found out, she was very excited. Yi Zhonghai was finally going to have a child, which made her very happy. Moreover, she even asked Yi Zhonghai to remember to keep it a secret!

Yi Zhonghai asked about his doubts as to why the old lady and He Yuzhu wanted to keep it secret. The old lady smiled and said, "You will know the reason if you think about Xu Damao!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded thoughtfully. When he told the old lady that he would come back every day at noon to take care of his aunt and cook for her, the old lady actually said: "My health is much better now and I don't need anyone to take care of me anymore."

, if you are too busy, I can take care of your aunt for you!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly refused and said: "That's not necessary. How can I bother you, old man? I'm busy!"

Thinking of He Yuzhu who was still waiting for him at home, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly returned home. This meal was a feast for the guests and the host. He Yuzhu did not dare to drink much with Yi Zhonghai, mainly because his aunt still needed his care.

Yi Zhonghai had planned to stay drunk with He Yuzhu before, but because of the pregnancy, he did not dare to drink more. He could only tell He Yuzhu that next time we would have a good time.

He Yuzhu left the uncle's house after eating and drinking. He could not delay Yi Zhonghai's taking care of his aunt, so he got on his bicycle and went straight to the courtyard of his new home.

After he got home and washed up, he lay on the bed alone, which made him feel a little lonely and lonely. He thought about Xu Xiaonan's lovely little fairy again. Thinking that there were still more than two months until the wedding, he felt that this life was a bit difficult.

, the only thing to blame is restless adolescence.

He Yuzhu, who had nothing to do, entered the space and took a look. He found that the ginseng seeds planted in the orchard a few days ago had grown seedlings. The wheat and corn were growing well. All kinds of animals were living and working in peace and contentment. There was one more sika deer in the population.

Pregnant female sika deer.

He Yuzhu took matters into his own hands and went to the orchard to pick ripe apples, peaches, grapes and pears. He enjoyed the joy of labor and ate various delicious and sweet fruits while picking.

He also specially selected some in good condition and packed them in separate paper bags to give some to Xu Xiaonan and his mother-in-law next time.

After picking watermelons last time, he planted dozens more watermelons. Now they have grown very big. They are expected to mature in a few days. Summer is coming soon. Whether they are eaten by themselves or given away

People, he can take it out with confidence and boldness.

After finishing all this work, He Yuzhu found the tabby cat that was chasing the rabbit, and communicated with it consciously: "Xiaohua, you had a lot of fun!"

"Don't call me Xiaohua, why are you so annoying? Where is the female cat I want?"

"Okay, little flower, can you not be so impatient? You are still young, what do you want from a female cat?"

He Yuzhu looked at this mysterious tabby cat with a playful look on his face.

"Stop scolding me in your heart. I've already sensed it. Also, why am I so young? What's the look in your eyes?!"

"I'm not kidding you. It's hard to even eat outside now. Who has the time to raise a cat? You're the stupid cat. I picked it up from my master's house. If you want a female cat, do you want me to give it to you?"

Let it go and go look for wild cats by yourself!"

"If I can go out now, I still need you to help me. You are really a pathetic two-legged beast, very stupid!" The tabby cat once again despised He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu touched his nose and said, "You still know a lot of words. It's not impossible for me to help you find a female cat, but in exchange, shouldn't you tell me something?"

"Just tell me what you want to say and what you can tell me, okay?"

The tabby cat remained motionless, wondering if he was thinking, "Okay, I'll tell you something I can talk about. But it's very important that you find me a female cat as soon as possible!"
