Chapter 334 Different Attitudes towards the Dance
First he agreed to Lin Zheng, then thought about their marriage, He Yuzhu then asked,
"By the way, Brother Lin, Sister Hongying,

When I just got back from the military service, weren't you two discussing marriage?
It's been more than two months, when are you going to hold the wedding? I've already prepared the red envelopes!"

Just after I asked, I heard Lin Zheng say with a smile,

"You and your sister Hongying are so busy with work, how can you have time for a wedding? Just get a certificate and be done with it."

Hearing that Lin Zheng arranged his marriage so hastily, Li Hongying did not object.

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment.

In the end, I can only sigh that their relationship is truly simple and pure.

"Brother Lin, you and Sister Hongying are not going to have a wedding, but you can always invite us to your home for a meal when you get the marriage certificate, right? When are you going to get the marriage certificate?"

Hearing He Yuzhu ask this, Lin Zheng couldn't help scratching his head.

"Hongying and I got our marriage certificate some time ago.

I was going to inform you.

But Fengze Garden hosted a state banquet during those days, and you and Uncle He stayed at Fengze Garden the whole time and didn’t come back, so we didn’t notify you.”

Hearing him mention the many state banquets arranged by the Executive Yuan before the New Year,

He Yuzhu couldn't help scratching his head.
But Lin Zheng couldn't be blamed for this. It was impossible for the couple to just go with the flow after getting married.

"Well, it seems that there is really no way to solve this problem."

After they talked for a while, Lin Zheng and Li Hongying went back to their work. Before leaving, Li Hongying casually invited Lou Xiaoe to come.
"Xiao'e, come and play with Zhuzi at the Street Office next week!"

When Li Hongying invited her to attend the dance party held by the subdistrict office and the branch next week, Lou Xiaoe smiled and agreed.
After the two of them left, he said to He Yuzhu,
"Brother Zhuzi, when the street office holds a dance party, please tell Sister Hongying on my behalf that I won't go then!"

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e had clearly promised Li Hongying just now, but now turned around and told me that she didn't want to go,
Although He Yuzhu knew that she didn't want to refuse in front of Li Hongying,

But I still asked with a smile,
"What's wrong, Xiao'e? Didn't you just agree to go with Sister Hongying?

Why don’t you want to go now?”

"Brother Zhuzi, you have attended so many dances since you were demobilized. You know that before the dance begins, those who attend the dance have already found out all the details.
Even if they invited me to the dance, I would just be an extra.
Not only did no one dance with me, but the girls at the party also spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Although I don't really care about it after hearing it so many times, it's still annoying.

I know Sister Hongying means well.
But I still won’t go. It’s no fun to be picked and chosen by others.”

Although Lou Xiao'e said it lightly, He Yuzhu, who had seen how difficult those women at the dance were, could not possibly not know what had happened.

This inexplicably reminded him of Anjie in "Parents' Love".

When He Yuzhu was about to say a few words to comfort her, He Yushui, who had been standing next to her, immediately offered an idea.
"Sister Xiao'e, isn't my brother going too? Why don't you ask him to dance with you?"

"Haha, little girl, it's not that simple.
Brother Zhuzi doesn't like to attend dances in the first place. If he dances with me, I have to treat him equally. Then he will be very tired.

There is no need for that.”

Lou Xiao'e finished speaking with a smile, and He Yuzhu also touched his sister's little head.
"You are a little girl, you are young and you don't know anything, but I am your brother, I am very popular.

If I danced with your sister Xiao'e at the party, I don't know how those girls would target her and how many unpleasant things she would have to say. It's really unnecessary."

After speaking to He Yushui, He Yuzhu then looked at Lou Xiaoe.

"Xiao'e, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll tell Sister Hongying and Brother Lin then. I don't think they will be angry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Damao, Jia Dongxu and others skated over on their ice skates.

"Zhu Zi, did Director Li and Director Lin come over just now? What were you talking about?"

Seeing Xu Damao asking about what happened just now, He Yuzhu said without thinking,

“I didn’t say anything.
The branch office and the neighborhood office are going to hold a dance party next week, and Sister Hongying and Brother Lin asked me to go over and help with the cooking.”

Just when he got to this point, seeing that Xu Damao and the others were interested, He Yuzhu asked with a smile,
"Why, do you have any ideas?"

Then Xu Damao said as a matter of course,
"What's wrong with us having some ideas? That's a party held by the police station and the street office.
Although Director Li and Director Lin are no longer in charge of Nanluoguxiang, who would think they have too many connections? Who knows, someone might be transferred from Shichahai to Jiaodaokou someday.
It's better to get familiar with them now, so that they can be useful when something happens.

Most importantly, you can get free food and drinks at the dance, and it’s your cooking skills, so it’s worth it.”

Looking at Xu Damao's shameless look, if he hadn't been wearing ice skates, He Yuzhu would have kicked him.
Of course, he refused without hesitation.
"Go, go, go. Even if the street office's dance party is not held to match young people up with partners,

There is no age restriction for participants.

But you three don't even realize how old you are.
If you can't find a suitable dance partner, you can't just follow me and eat and drink for free,

If you don't feel ashamed of the way you eat, I feel embarrassed."

When He Yuzhu mentioned the dance partner, Xu Damao and the other two were in a dilemma.

Although they have started working, they are still 3 or 4 years away from the legal age for marriage. They are at an awkward age and would not be able to find a dance partner even if they went to a dance party.

Although the saying "dating without the intention of getting married is hooliganism" is not popular these days,

But no matter how high or low you are, you will still be called a lecher.

By then, their reputation around Shichahai will be ruined.

Just as Xu Damao and the other three were feeling dejected, Jia Dongxu next to them asked with a smile,

"Zhu Zi, since Xu Damao and the other three can't go, can you take Huai Ru and me to the dance party held by the subdistrict office and the branch office?"

Hearing that Jia Dongxu and his wife were going, He Yuzhu did not refuse.
Anyway, there will definitely be a lot of people from the neighborhood around Shichahai going to join in the fun on the day of the dance, and adding two of them won't make a big difference.
However, He Yuzhu agreed and also reminded,
"Anyway, there will definitely be a lot of neighbors attending the dance, so just go if you want to!
But there are some things I need to tell you two in advance.

You two are married, and Banggeng is already two years old, so don't fall in love with someone at the dance, or you'll come back and file for divorce."
