A guide to get married in the 70s

58

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Yongzhen called Ye Huan and Gu Cheng to come to her house for dinner.

After going upstairs, Gu Cheng said to Ye Huan, "I'm going to check if the whitewash is dry. Don't go in. It will smell a bit spicy if it's not dry."

Ye Huan went to Ye Yongzhen's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw He Qingsheng and He Qingmei fighting a tug-of-war. The two of them were pulling a homework book in their hands, and neither of them would give in.

Ye Yongzhen was scolding them, "Qingsheng, why are you looking at her homework? It's the same no matter how you look at it. It's all the same number. It will be a blessing if she can get two numbers..."

Ye Huan put down the things in his hand, "Brother Qingsheng is back."

He Qingsheng let go of Ye Huan when he saw him coming. He Qingmei called "Sister Huanhuan" and ran away with her homework book.

Ye Yongzhen scolded He Qingsheng again, "You are so old, but you still tease her when you go home. Huanhuan, don't pay attention to them. They have been quarreling since they were young. As long as the two of them are at home, I can't have a quiet time."

He Qingsheng moved a stool for Ye Huan, and then said to Ye Yongzhen, "You and my dad should also take care of Meimei's studies, otherwise if she has the opportunity to go to college in the future, she will not be able to keep up."

Ye Yongzhen was happy, "With her naughty temper, she can't even sit still. How can she go to college? Your father said that when she reaches the age, he will send her to the army and let the army take care of her. Anyway, she is willing to do that."

He Shiqiang called Ye Yongzhen in the kitchen, "Is it time to take out the mooncakes in your pot?"

Ye Yongzhen, "Oh my god, I was so busy arguing with them that I forgot about the mooncakes."

Hurry to the kitchen.

He Qingmei hid her homework book, ran out again, and snuggled into Ye Huan's arms, "Sister Huanhuan, I want to live with you when your new house is ready."

Ye Yongzhen came out of the kitchen with a plate of food, "You play like a mud monkey all day long, and your sister Huanhuan thinks you are dirty. Your brother is going to serve the food, you go get the bowls and chopsticks and set them up."

He Qingmei ran to get the bowls and chopsticks, and Ye Yongzhen sat down next to Ye Huan and asked Ye Huan, "I see the room is still empty, how is the furniture going? When will it be finished?"

"Gu Cheng went to the town yesterday to check, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month to finish it."

The carpenter introduced by Hu Donglei has good skills, but he works slowly. Making furniture is like carving, all of which are carefully carved and polished. If they change to other carpenters, this set of furniture may be completed in one month, but it will take at least two months for him.

Ye Yongzhen, "It's better to go slow. Slow work produces fine work. Anyway, there's no rush to use it."

Then asked Ye Huan, "Has Gu Cheng's marriage application been approved?"

"Not yet."

"It's a bit troublesome for them to get married. They also need to investigate what your family does. I heard that they will investigate three generations."

...

While the two were talking, the dishes were served.

He Shiqiang asked Gu Cheng, "Shall we have a drink?"
