Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 258
"The groom is here!"

"The groom is here!"

"."

Hearing Dong Haisheng's words, the others followed suit.

As soon as Xu Lingjun walked to the door, he was suddenly embraced by Dong Haisheng with enthusiasm, which made him dumbfounded for a moment.

This kind of overly intimate behavior still made him a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Dong Haisheng put him down soon.

"Lingjun, Lingjun, how are you doing?"

Guo Bizi reached out and patted Xu Lingjun's shoulder, and asked with a smile.

"Hey, Xiuzhi said, tonight, please come over, even if it is to drink a bowl of water, let's show our hearts!"

Xu Lingjun looked at the crowd and said with a slight smile.

"Okay, let's make Lingjun lively tonight."

Guo Jizi laughed, nodded and agreed.

"That's what Ming Media is marrying!"

Uncle Dong said approvingly.

"That's right, that's right, haha, Ling Jun, it's Ming Mei who is getting married!"

Guo Bizi frowned, patted Xu Lingjun's chest narrowly and said.

Others also booed and joked.

"This girl is really knowledgeable."

Uncle Dong looked at Niu Fengying and said with some emotion.

"Yes!"

Niu Fengying also expressed emotion, and at the same time, she was very happy and satisfied that she was able to facilitate this marriage.

"Old Guo, I have to go back and make some arrangements later. When the time comes, please help me call other people to come over together. Call all the members of our seventh team. I won't go door-to-door to notify."

Xu Lingjun looked at Guo Bizi and smiled softly.

"Okay, I'll let you know, go back and get ready!"

Guo Bizi nodded happily and agreed.

Then, Xu Lingjun asked Uncle Dong again if there is anything to pay attention to when getting married here.

Although in this day and age, there is no condition to pay attention to these things, but he hopes to do well what can be done.

It didn't take long, under the careful guidance of Uncle Dong and Niu Fengying, he easily understood the process and rules of getting married here.

Throwing away those unrealistic processes such as Najib’s appointment, wedding ceremony, etc., in the end there are only banquets, weddings, and bridal chamber festivities.

When talking about the bridal chamber, the others all looked at him narrowly, thinking that he and Li Xiuzhi had a good relationship last night.

Regarding this, he didn't specifically explain anything. After asking about the matter, he quickly turned around and left, and returned to his home.

"Come back! Can you take a look at what I posted?"

Seeing Xu Lingjun's return, Li Xiuzhi immediately asked with some expectation.

Xu Lingjun turned his head to look at the walls, windows, cabinets, bedside, and dressing table, and suddenly found that some various window grilles had been pasted on them.

There are Chinese characters "囍", "mandarin ducks", "flowers" and "camels"
Although the cutting is not very delicate, it makes the whole room festive at once.

"Okay, you posted it beautifully."

There was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded softly.

"Ok!"

Li Xiuzhi bowed her head in agreement with some shame, and then immediately turned around to sort out the ingredients.

"Let me do it!"

Xu Lingjun frowned and hurried forward to say.

"Let me come, you are a big man cooking, let people know the joke."

Li Xiuzhi said firmly.

"All right! Then I'll teach you how to do it."

Xu Lingjun agreed with some dumbfounding, and then carefully explained how Li Xiuzhi would handle the ingredients.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if it were in the 21st century, most girls would be eager to let their men cook, and would even be proud of it, how could they think that this would make other people laugh!
Time passed slowly, and soon it was more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

All the bought ingredients were also processed under the busyness of Li Xiuzhi.

Because the ingredients are limited and there are too many people to invite, Xu Lingjun plans to make a big pot of vegetables directly.

Big Poon Choi is a traditional food custom spread in the Lantern Festival in Xiasha Village, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province.

It originated from the diet form of the Southern Song Dynasty army in the [-]th century, and gradually developed into a folk diet form.

Big Poon Choi, generally more than a dozen dishes are put into a pot for cooking layer by layer, and then eaten together.

Including fried oysters, chicken, duck, pork, fried fish, deep-fried tofu, stick bamboo, yaru, dried eel, pork skin, minced cloud, mushrooms, celery, radish, etc.

Although the ingredients he bought did not include cut oysters, dried eels, pork skin, cloud mushrooms and other inconvenient ingredients, but the most basic chicken, duck, fish and various side dishes were available.

Coupled with his master-level cooking skills, the big pot of vegetables made is also delicious enough, so there is no need to worry about making the guests unsatisfied.

In addition, he also plans to cook a big pot of sweet potato and rice, and make some white flour steamed buns.

In short, it is to let the guests eat and drink well.

After hearing Xu Lingjun's plan, Li Xiuzhi started to get busy silently, not complaining at all about his extravagance and waste.

It wasn't until 5 o'clock in the evening that the meals were all ready.

Xu Lingjun set up a temporary stove in the yard, and put all the meals on the stove to keep warm.

In addition, he boiled a large pot of hot water.

"Whoa!"

Holding the bucket, he poured hot water into the newly made wooden bathtub in the house, then reached out to test the water temperature, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can wash first!"

"Ok!"

Li Xiuzhi glanced at Xu Lingjun, nodded shyly and agreed.

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, walked out with the bucket in hand, and closed the door tightly.

Li Xiuzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on the corner of her mouth.

Not long after, she took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub.

The continuous white water vapor enveloped her in an instant, and at the same time covered her petite and exquisite figure.

After a while, she washed her body carefully with soap, put on the new vest bought by Xu Lingjun, and then put on the red wedding dress brought from home, and sat in front of the dressing table to comb her clothes.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she was a little dazed, and the encounters along the way flashed through her mind, and finally fixed on Xu Lingjun's face, with a smile unconsciously on the corner of her mouth.

Not long after, she finished dressing up, got up and walked to the door, opened the door and walked out, calling softly: "Brother Xu, I'm done, you go wash it!"

Xu Lingjun turned his head when he heard the voice, and suddenly felt his eyes light up.

After washing and dressing up, Li Xiuzhi's face was rosy, and against the backdrop of the red wedding dress, she looked particularly charming and charming.

"Xiuzhi, you are so pretty."

He couldn't help but open his mouth to praise.

"Go wash it! Someone will come in a while."

Li Xiuzhi lowered her head slightly, urging a little shyly.

"it is good!"

Xu Lingjun smiled and agreed, and immediately carried the bucket into the room to change the water in the tub, then took off his clothes in twos and twos, jumped into the tub to wash his body carefully.

Soon, he took a shower, shaved his beard, trimmed his hair, and then put on a new suit, showing his best image.

"Xiuzhi, I'm ready, come in!"

"Crench!"

Li Xiuzhi opened the door and walked into the room. Seeing the completely new Xu Lingjun, her eyes lit up suddenly, and a sweet smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

She stepped forward and reached out to help Xu Lingjun straighten his neckline.

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to hold Li Xiuzhi's hand, with tenderness in his eyes.

Li Xiuzhi trembled slightly, lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, and silently squeezed Xu Lingjun's hand tightly.

At this moment, they felt that their hearts were so close to each other.

After a while, Li Xiuzhi looked up at Xu Lingjun, and said softly, "Let's get everything ready first!"

"Ok!"

Xu Lingjun let go of Li Xiuzhi's hand, turned around and poured out all the water in the tub, and then together with Li Xiuzhi took out candies, biscuits, melon seeds, peanuts and other things, and put them on the table.

Gradually, as the afterglow of the sun dissipated and night fell, candles were lit in the house.

In the red flames, Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi stood at the door, waiting for the guests to arrive.

"Haha! Let's go, let's go! Give Lingjun a good time."

"Hey, skimmer, is everyone here?"

"Come on, come on, I went to call every family."

"Okay, Ling Jun is a member of our seventh team, and finally married a wife, we should help more in the future."

"It's up to you to say, hurry up, finish the fun early, and don't disturb the couple's childbirth."

"Ha ha!"

Li Xiuzhi heard these words from a distance, and immediately gave Xu Lingjun a shy glance.

"hey-hey!"

Xu Lingjun smirked unconsciously, feeling a little anticipation in his heart.

"Hey, Lingjun, our big guy is here!"

Guo Shuzi, wearing a new suit, walked into the yard first and shouted.

"come on in!"

Xu Lingjun hurriedly greeted him.

He raised his eyes to look into the crowd behind him, and found that everyone was wearing new clothes that he was reluctant to wear, just like Guo Shuzi, and he felt a burst of warmth in his heart.

What a lovely group of people!

"Lingjun!"

"Brother Xu!"

"Old Xu!"

"Xiuzhi!"

"Miss Xiuzhi!"

"."

Everyone walked to the door, greeted Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi one after another, and then all rushed into the room.

Immediately, the room was crowded with dozens of people, without even a place to stay.

"Hey, Lingjun, Lingjun."

Seeing this situation, Guo Jizi immediately pulled Xu Lingjun aside, then took out a red paper bag from his arms, opened it and handed it over, saying, "Lingjun, this is a 5 cent gift from each of our seventh team." Money, a total of 23 yuan and 5 cents."

"Hey, how can this work?"

Xu Lingjun subconsciously wanted to refuse, he didn't want people to think that he called someone over just to receive a gift.

"Ham, take it, take it, this is everyone's wish! Courtesy is light and affection is heavy, take it."

Uncle Dong exhaled a puff of dry smoke and spoke persuasively.

"Take it! Take her to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy a new dress. It's a lifetime thing for her!"

Guo Shuzi stuffed the red paper bag into Xu Lingjun's hand, and said with a low laugh.

"Ok!"

When Xu Lingjun heard this, he had no choice but to accept the money.

At this time, some people saw that there was no room to move people away, so they went to the door, congratulated Xu Lingjun, and then wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Xu Lingjun hurriedly reached out to stop them, then ran to the yard and lit the bonfire that had been prepared long ago.

Then, he placed the improvised simple long wooden table next to the campfire.

Li Xiuzhi followed him, and took the prepared candies, melon seeds, peanut biscuits, wine bowls and chopsticks, teapots and cups out of the house, and put them on the wooden table.

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw their actions.

"Lingjun, why did you buy so many things? Don't you plan to live this life in the future?"

Guo Jizi frowned, pulled Xu Lingjun aside, and said in a deep voice.

"Old Guo, I'm fine. I know it well. Thanks to you for taking care of me all these years, and now helping me marry such a good wife, I want to take this opportunity to thank you all."

Xu Lingjun explained seriously.

"Then you don't have to spend so much!"

Guo Xiezi said a little angrily.

"Okay, today is my big day, please help me greet everyone well, lest people say that I did not greet well."

Xu Lingjun reached out and patted Guo Bizi's arm, and said with a smile.

"Oh, let's do it!"

Guo Bizi glared at Xu Lingjun and said helplessly.

After speaking, he hurriedly turned around and walked into the crowd, explaining to Uncle Dong and others.

After listening to Guo Jizi's words, Uncle Dong pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, this is Ling Jun's wish, everyone, don't be too polite."

"Come on, let's go help."

Niu Fengying even directly pulled several women forward to help Li Xiuzhi put things together and make tea.

Seeing this, the others didn't say anything, and walked to the yard very readily, and sat on the simple long stool.

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, took out a few torches from the corner of the yard, lit them and stuck them around the yard.

Immediately, the courtyard became bright under the reflection of the fire.

Then, he walked to the temporary earthen stove and brought two large pots of vegetables to the table, and placed them on two charcoal braziers respectively.

As he lifted the lids one by one, a burst of fragrance overflowed in an instant.

Everyone swallowed unconsciously, their eyes fixed on the big pot of vegetables on the table.

"boom!"

Xu Lingjun opened the bottle cap and poured a glass of wine for all the men present.

Then, he raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Everyone, today is a day of great joy for me and Xiuzhi. Without you, there would be no today. I am here to thank everyone."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay! Let me say a few words."

Guo Bizi said hello, stood up, waved his hands and said, "Xu Lingjun is marrying Li Xiuzhen and the others today."

Hearing this, Niu Fengying hastily stretched out her hand to give Guo Bizi a hand, and corrected her anxiously: "Oh! It's Li Xiuzhi!"

"Oh! Yes, hehe!"

Guo Shuzi was taken aback for a moment, and said with an embarrassed smile, "They got married! It's also a great event for our seventh team. You see, they have prepared wine, food and candies here. Our men drink and women eat candies." , don’t let them down.”

"Okay! Well said, come, let's toast the couple together."

Uncle Dong picked up his wine glass and said with a laugh.

"OK!"

Everyone spoke in agreement and took up their wine glasses.

With everyone watching, Li Xiuzhi filled Xu Lingjun with wine. Then, she picked up a glass of wine and looked straight at Xu Lingjun.

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, held the wine glass and lightly clinked it with Li Xiuzhi, then raised his head and drank the wine.

Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips, raised her head slightly, brought the wine glass to her mouth, and poured the wine into her mouth.

Soon, a blush appeared on her fair face, and she looked even more attractive under the light of the fire.

She put down her wine glass, and seeing Xu Lingjun staring at her, she couldn't help rolling her eyes quietly.

"hey-hey!"

Xu Lingjun smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly turned around to greet the others to eat.
