Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

More than an hour later.

Li Tianyou and Gao Meiyu returned to the backyard from the east yard.

The two lay on the bed, hugging each other.

Gao Meiyu asked mischievously: "Brother Tianyou, is our wedding banquet tomorrow?"

Li Tianyou laughed when he heard this and said jokingly: "Yu'er, don't you want to do it? Are you afraid of extravagance?"

Gao Meiyu patted Li Tianyou lightly, pouted her lips and said resentfully: "Brother Tianyou, you are really getting worse and worse."

Li Tianyou teased: "Yu'er, what's wrong with me, Brother Tianyou?"

Gao Meiyu snorted, turned her back and ignored Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou laughed, hugged Gao Meiyu tightly and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Tomorrow is our wedding banquet, go to bed early!"

Gao Meiyu nodded and moved closer to Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou fell asleep sweetly with the beauty in his arms, but someone couldn't sleep.

Qin Huairu tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Although Qin Huairu said that she would not disturb Li Tianyou's life, human nature could never be changed.

Qin Huairu looked at the roof, sighed softly, and her eyes shed two lines of lovesick tears in the darkness.

Women are like this, once they change their heart, they will always think about the man who made her change her heart. And what woman doesn't want to be with the man she likes?

Don’t you want a legitimate status?

But Qin Huairu knew that this extravagant wish in her heart was just an extravagant wish and would never become a reality.

Qin Huairu now hates the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai, and Sha Zhu, because they make it impossible for her to truly own Li Tianyou forever.

Because the Jia family made her a widow, because Yi Zhonghai made her, a widow, do the heavy work in the workshop to support the Jia family. If she could be assigned an easier job in the steel rolling mill at that time, and if Jia Zhang did not have the support of Yi Zhonghai, her life would not have been so difficult. Because of Sha Zhu, she always had a bad reputation in this courtyard.

These are the reasons why I cannot stand by Li Tianyou legitimately.

But Qin Huairu will never think about where she stands. Is she Qin Huairu not wrong? The scheming white lotus will never consider what she did wrong.

Lou Xiao'e was also lying on the bed. When she heard Xu Damao snoring beside her, she also had an expression of disgust and annoyance.

After what happened that day, Lou Xiao'e's dissatisfaction with Xu Damao reached its peak. What a coward, who was bullied like this by Sha Zhu, and then came back without saying a word and even fought with her.

As she thought about it, Li Tianyou's face appeared in Lou Xiao'e's mind.

Thinking of Li Tianyou, Lou Xiao'e smiled. After a moment, she sighed as if she thought of something, sat up and looked in the direction of Li Tianyou's house.

Lou Xiao'e put on her clothes, got up from the bed, walked to the window, gently lifted the curtains and looked at Li Tianyou's door.

Apart from the whistling cold wind, Lou Xiao'e could only see the general view of the roof in the faint moonlight.

It was five o'clock in the morning, the weather in December was extremely cold and dry in the city.

Li Tianyou glanced at his watch and tiptoed out of bed.

Li Tianyou went out, closed the door, and stretched out his hand to feel the biting cold wind.

Li Tianyou walked out of the backyard with a smile. He was happy today because he was getting married. He thought to himself that no matter before the time travel or now, he had never thought that such a bizarre thing would happen to him.

From the nervousness when he first came here to the wonderful life now, Li Tianyou is full of hope for this place.

Sometimes, it is not that people nowadays are lazy and unwilling to do it, but because they do not get affirmation and recognition. Li Tianyou, as a former otaku, was recognized and liked by people after traveling here, which made Li Tianyou full of motivation.

Although the sky was still dark, the weather was still cold, and the wind was whistling in his ears, Li Tianyou still drove the truck to the suburbs happily.

At around 6 o'clock, Li Tianyou drove back to Courtyard No. 95.

There were already several people standing in front of the courtyard gate. When they saw Li Tianyou driving back, they all smiled.

Li Tianyou parked the car and got out. Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Tianyou, have you got all the things back?"

Li Tianyou nodded and smiled: "Uncle, the goods have been brought back. Let everyone come and unload the truck. I have to return the truck to the steel mill later."

Sha Zhu said: "Chief Li, please go to the house and warm up first, and we will just unload the truck."

Li Tianyou was stunned when he heard this and looked at Sha Zhu. He couldn't believe that these words came from Sha Zhu's mouth.

If I remember correctly, yesterday Sha Zhu was pointing at me and glaring at me, constantly defending Yi Zhonghai.

Perhaps he saw Li Tianyou's confusion, Sha Zhu scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Chief Li, Yu Shui explained to me yesterday what you said, and I feel you are right."

Li Tianyou looked at Shazhu and thought to himself, has the bootlicker woken up?

However, Li Tianyou still smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll unload it with everyone, and everyone should stop standing there."

Everyone in the hospital was surprised by what Li Tianyou brought back. There was so much food, and no one knew where Li Tianyou got it.

Yan Bugui saw the food Li Tianyou brought back, and pulled Li Tianyou aside and asked in a low voice: "Tianyou, why did you bring back so much?"

Li Tianyou was originally wondering why Yan Bugui wanted to ask him to do this. After hearing Yan Bugui's question, he smiled and said, "Uncle, don't make it public. You can also tell everyone."

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "Tianyou, you are so confused. How can you keep such a thing secret? There are so many people in the courtyard, including women and children. Their mouths are as tight as cotton pants waists. Who can keep a secret?"

Li Tianyou was stunned when he heard this. Indeed, with so many people talking, it was impossible to hide the truth.

Li Tianyou said: "It's okay, uncle. It's just a little more than what you said. That's it. Let's have a good meal."

Things have come to this point, everything has been pulled back, and everyone has seen it, it is impossible for me to put things back into the space.

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Tianyou, you only have such a small retirement allowance. You originally bought furniture and now you have bought so much food. It's all spent at once. How are you going to live in the future? You can't live without food, and you can't live without money. If you don't plan well, you will be poor. Tianyou, you still have to plan your life."

Li Tianyou laughed and said, "I've already bought it. I'll leave it as it is. I'll pay attention next time."

Yan Bugui sighed and went to unload the truck. Looking at Yan Bugui sighing, Li Tianyou felt it was funny. As a 21-year-old youth, he really could not understand the thoughts of people of this generation.

After all, he had never experienced the days of hunger and cold clothes, and now he had traveled through time and space, had a cheat, and had no shortage of food and drink. He really felt out of place.

Soon all the things were unloaded and Li Tianyou drove to the steel rolling mill.

When Li Tianyou returned to the courtyard from the steel rolling mill, the courtyard was already bustling. It was the first time that Li Tianyou felt the courtyard was bustling with people. He saw people in the courtyard gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.

When they saw Li Tianyou coming back, they greeted him warmly.

Li Tianyou also responded one by one.

He Yushui jumped in front of Li Tianyou and said with a smile: "Chief Li, congratulations."

Looking at He Yushui's rosy face, Li Tianyou smiled and replied: "Thank you, Yushui."

Qin Huairu also walked over with a smile and said, "Chief Li, congratulations, the bride has already started to dress up in the East Courtyard."

Li Tianyou frowned and asked: "Why are you dressing up? Today is just a wedding banquet, not a wedding."

He Yushui smiled and replied: "Chief Li, the third aunt, no, the first aunt said that at such a big wedding banquet, you two newlyweds should also toast to everyone."

Li Tianyou understood and thought, forget it, as long as Gao Meiyu is happy, it’s enough. He felt guilty towards Qin Huairu. So today can be considered a simple wedding, right?

But both sets of parents are not around, alas...

Li Tianyou came to the East Courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, Lou Xiaoe hurried him and said, "Get out, get out. The bride hasn't dressed up yet. What are you doing here?"

Li Tianyou was stunned. What the hell, I won’t even be allowed to go home.

Xu Damao came over with a smile, put his arm around Li Tianyou's shoulders and said, "Chief Li, you see, Uncle San said that he can't eat your wedding banquet for free, so let the people in the hospital help you hold a simple ceremony."

Li Tianyou looked at Xu Damao and said: "In this year of great disaster, we can just have a wedding banquet secretly, this... Alas."

Sun Jiacai also smiled and said, "It's not as troublesome as you think, Chief Li. It's just a simple ceremony for you two."

Yu Li smiled and said, "Chief Li, it's not even a ceremony. It's just dressing up the bride and letting you toast everyone."

Li Tianyou nodded and said, "Then I'll go put on my military uniform?"

Sun Jiacai laughed and said, "That couldn't be better."

Li Tianyou was pulled to the backyard by Sun Jiacai and Xu Damao and began to change his clothes.

(Please don’t criticize me here. The male protagonist Li Tianyou is a 21st century otaku after all, so it is impossible for him to fit in %. It may seem awkward to you, but everything takes time.)

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

The entire courtyard houses 27 households including Li Tianyou's family, with more than 100 people, big and small.

There were tables in the front yard, middle yard and back yard. There were four tables in each yard, with 10 people at each table, for a total of 12 tables in the three yards.

No, there are 13 tables, and there is another table in the main hall of the east courtyard.

Yan Bugui brought Li Tianyou and Gao Meiyu to the front yard and shared the joy with the people in the yard before the meal started.

Yan Bugui shouted in front of everyone in the courtyard: "Today, we can have such a good meal in our courtyard, thanks to Section Chief Li Tianyou. Today is also Tianyou's wedding, and we also want to send our courtyard's blessings to Tianyou and Meiyu. Don't you agree?"

"Yes."

Everyone in the yard shouted in unison.

Li Tianyou waved his hand and said, "Everyone, this year is a disaster, let's keep everything simple, stop talking nonsense, sit down and eat and drink well."

Someone in the yard said.

"Congratulations, Chief Li, and happy wedding."

"Chief Li's bride is so beautiful!"

"Chief Li, you look great today too."

"Congratulations to Section Chief Li on your wedding. May you have a long and happy marriage and may you have a baby soon."

Li Tianyou also accepted everyone's blessings, and then said to Yan Bugui: "Uncle, let's start the banquet. It's too noisy and too ostentatious."

Yan Bugui nodded upon hearing this and arranged for everyone to sit down.

Let’s feast. Let’s feast. Let’s feast.
