The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Okay, that's it."

"I called you here this time mainly to ask if you still have that medicinal wine?"

Li Huaide said the most important thing today.

Li Huaide had previously given half of the medicinal wine to his father-in-law. The effect was indeed very good, especially for older men.

Now if his father-in-law wants Li Huaide, he can only ask Liu Minghui for him.

Liu Minghui stared at Li Huaide and said, "That's more, but Uncle Li, you've drunk too much. Too much of this stuff is not good."

Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "I didn't ask for it myself, it was mainly because my father-in-law wanted it."

Liu Minghui finally understood.

"Then I'll bring some back for you when I go back to my hometown in a few days."

Liu Minghui said that he bought it from an old hunter in the countryside, so he could only go back home and deliver it to Li Huaide.

"Okay, just send it to me after the New Year."

Li Huaide nodded. He also knew that this was something Liu Minghui had found in the countryside, so he could only wait until after the New Year.

The two chatted for a while and then Liu Minghui left Li Huaide's office.

After coming out, Liu Minghui planned to go back.

After leaving the steel rolling mill, Liu Minghui went to Yu Li's home, intending to look for Yu Li.

Since the distance was quite far, Liu Minghui decided to ride his bicycle as walking was not an option.

Although there is still a lot of snow on the road, just ride slowly.

Liu Minghui came to the supply and marketing cooperative intending to buy something, but it would not be good to go empty-handed.

Now that it is close to the end of the year, there are still a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative. Liu Minghui can only squeeze through the crowd and get to the candy and pastry counter.

"Comrade, please help me get a pound of cakes."

Liu Minghui said to the salesperson and handed over the bill.

The salesperson took the money and the ticket and went to get the things.

Liu Minghui saw that there were quite a few people in the supply and marketing cooperative, but most of them were buying things at the counters selling more practical items, such as cloth, grain, meat, etc.

Not many people buy snacks like candies and pastries, and generally only people from well-off families will buy them.

"Comrade, please take your things."

The sales girl said as she held the packaged pastries.

Liu Minghui took it and left the supply and marketing cooperative, then rode his bicycle towards Shajing Hutong where Yu Li lived.

When Liu Minghui arrived at the courtyard where Yu Li lived, he pushed his bicycle in and saw many middle-aged women chatting in the courtyard.

"Who are you looking for, young man?"

An old lady looked at Liu Minghui and asked.

"Isn't this the son-in-law of the old Yu family?"

At this time, an aunt nearby who had seen Liu Minghui said.

"Yes, I'm here to see Yu Li."

Liu Minghui said with a smile.

As he spoke, he walked towards the backyard. This courtyard was a two-entry courtyard, and the Yu family was in the backyard.

Arriving at the door of Yu's house, Yu Li saw Liu Minghui and hurried out to ask, "Brother Minghui, why are you here?"

Yu Li knew that Liu Minghui still had to go to work today and it was not yet time to get off work. She wondered why Liu Minghui came at this time.

"We had nothing to do in the afternoon, so our section chief let us go off work."

When Liu Minghui and Yu Li entered the room, they saw Yu's father and mother sitting in the room.

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

When Yu's father saw Liu Minghui coming, he smiled and said, "Minghui is here, come and sit down.

"Brother-in-law."

"Did you bring me anything delicious?"

Before Liu Minghui sat down, Yu Haitang ran over and said.

"Haitang, go get your brother-in-law a glass of water. You are such a girl, don't you know how to be more cautious?"

Yu's mother was also troubled by Yu Haitang's eccentric personality. How could her two daughters have such different personalities? The gap was too big.

"Auntie, it's okay. Haitang, this is for you."

Liu Minghui stopped Yu's mother from preaching and gave the pastries he brought to Yu Haitang.

"Yeah, thank you, brother-in-law."

Yu Haitang took the things happily.

"Minghui, don't bring anything next time. Don't be so polite."

Yu's mother said after pouring Liu Minghui a glass of water.

"Auntie, these are for Haitang and her brother. I like Haitang very much too. I have always wanted a sister, but unfortunately I don't have one." Liu Minghui smiled. Yu's mother has always been very enthusiastic towards him, and he also likes the atmosphere of the Yu family.

Father Yu looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. You can eat here tonight. We should have a few drinks today."

"Mother, go and prepare to entertain Minghui tonight."

Father Yu said to Mother Yu who was standing beside him.

"I see you want to drink. I don't know what's so good about that."

Yu's father usually likes to drink a little wine, and Yu's mother is very strict with him and usually doesn't let him drink.

But today, I can’t stop my son-in-law from coming to my house.

After saying this, Yu's mother took Yu Li out, intending to exchange some things with her neighbors.

Liu Minghui and Yu's father were the only ones left in the main room. Yu Haitang had already run back to the inner room.

"Minghui, you and Lily have been talking for quite some time. When do you plan to get things done?"

Yu's father is now planning to marry Yu Li off as soon as possible. After all, their family is very satisfied with Liu Minghui.

Since Yu's father said so, Liu Minghui had to express his opinion immediately.

"Uncle, this is my plan. After the New Year, we will pick a good day and Yu Li and I will go get the certificate."

"As for the banquet, I think we can just set up a table at a restaurant outside for the two families to have a meal together."

Liu Minghui expressed his thoughts.

Although I am not short of supplies, the current policy does not support lavish celebrations, so it is better to keep things simple.

Yu's father had no objection to this, as the Yu family didn't have many relatives in the old city anyway.

"Lily's mother and I have no objection to this. When can your parents come over?"

"How about Yu Li come back with me in the next two days? It just so happens that I have a day off now."

Liu Minghui told Yu's father his thoughts.

But every time I go back, my mother asks me to bring Yu Li back to see them.

Father Yu nodded and said, "Just discuss this with Lily."

Then the two talked a lot about work. Yu's father worked in a textile factory, which was not far from the steel mill.

"Minghui, I heard from Yu Li that you have a good relationship with the deputy director of your factory?"

Liu Minghui said doubtfully: "Yes, it's okay. We have a good relationship."

"Uncle, do you need any help?"

Father Yu waved his hand and said, "No, I'm just asking."

"What I want to say is that if you become a leader in the future, you must not look down on Lily, otherwise I will never forgive you."

Yu's father was afraid that Liu Minghui would abandon Yu Li in the future, so he planned to make things clear.

"Uncle, you can rest assured. I am sincere to Li, otherwise I would not have asked the matchmaker to come to my house."

Liu Minghui certainly couldn't let Yu's father think that he was a person like Chen Shimei, so he quickly expressed his opinion.
