The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

The Liu family's affairs did not cause any waves in the courtyard. Except for the people in the backyard, no one else went there.

The next day, Liu Minghui got up at around eight o'clock. Many people in the compound were not working today and had not gotten up yet. Maybe it was because it was a rare opportunity to sleep in.

After getting up and washing up, Liu Minghui took out a lot of things from the space and planned to take them home today.

I prepared several pounds of fatty meat, ten pounds of flour, a bag of candy and two bottles of Moutai, for my family.

White flour is mainly the food for himself and Yu Li. Nowadays, you have to bring your own food when visiting relatives, otherwise if you eat one meal, other families may have to eat less.

After getting ready, Liu Minghui pushed his bicycle out. As soon as he left the house, he was seen by Yan Bugui across the street.

"Liu Minghui, where are you going?"

"The steel mill is closed for the holidays, so let's go back home."

Liu Minghui replied.

"So where did you spend the New Year this year?"

"Are you in the yard?"

Yan Bugui looked at Liu Minghui and said that he was thinking of inviting Liu Minghui to spend the New Year with his family this year.

It would be a loss if it wasn't in the courtyard.

The main thing is that Liu Minghui from Yan Bugui's family will definitely prepare a lot of good things for the New Year, and if the two families are together, my family can also get some benefits.

"I think he'll be able to pass this in the hospital, but I can't say for sure. Anyway, there are still a few days left, so there's no rush."

Liu Minghui did not give Yan Bugui an accurate answer. He really didn't know whether he should go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year this year. After all, Yu Li could come and live with him in the Siheyuan.

It's so boring in the countryside, I can only stay at home all day.

"If you feel lonely spending the New Year alone, you can come to my house and we can be together."

Yan Bugui invited him with great effort.

As soon as Liu Minghui heard this, he knew what Yan Bugui was planning. He just wanted to take advantage of him.

"Uncle San, you should save yourself some energy. It's fine to be alone."

"Okay, uncle. I'll be leaving now."

After saying this, Liu Minghui pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard without waiting for Yan Bugui to try to persuade him to stay.

Before Yan Bugui could finish his words, he saw Liu Minghui running away, and he could only go back dejectedly.

Liu Minghui rode his bike along the road, bought a few buns at a breakfast shop, and then arrived at Shajing Hutong.

Liu Minghui came to Yu Li's courtyard and walked towards the central courtyard after entering. No one came to ask questions today.

Because everyone basically knows that this is the son-in-law of the Yu family.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm here to pick up Lily."

"These are some buns I bought, just in time for everyone to share."

As soon as Liu Minghui entered the room, he saw several members of the Yu family sitting around the table eating breakfast.

"Minghui is here, Lily, go get Minghui a bowl."

Yu's mother said with a smile.

"Our Lily said you probably didn't eat, so she made an extra portion."

After Liu Minghui sat down, he said, "Haha, Lily really understands me. I'm usually too lazy to make breakfast in the morning."

At this time, Yu Li came over with a bowl of porridge and just heard what Liu Minghui said.

"Here, how can we eat out every day? It's too expensive."

Mother Yu nodded and said, "Lily is right. You have to save money after you get married."

"When you have children, you will have a lot of things to spend money on."

Liu Minghui naturally would not refute, after all, this is how people of this era think.

Even Liu Minghui couldn't say that he had enough money and food.

"Okay, okay. I'll let Yu Li take care of the family from now on."

After the few of them finished their breakfast, Liu Minghui stayed at Yu's house for a while and then planned to leave.

"Uncle and aunt, we'll leave first."

Liu Minghui said to Yu's father and mother.

"Then you should go back first. The road is quite long."

Before leaving, Yu's mother held Yu Li's hand.

"Lily, you and Minghui have to be diligent when you go there. Remember to bring some gifts for them, okay?"

Yu's mother talked a lot.

"I've got all my stuff. Yu Li, just bring a few changes of clothes."

Liu Minghui dispelled Yu's mother's idea of ​​asking Yu Li to bring things.

Yu Li came out with a cloth bag. After saying goodbye to Yu's father and the others, the two of them walked out together.

"Yu's, where is your daughter going?"

The aunt who lived next door to Yu's family saw it and asked Yu's mother.

"My daughter is going to meet her future in-laws."

"Congratulations, when will the wedding be held?"

It's obvious that he wants to have a banquet.

"Let's not have a banquet. My son-in-law has only been working for a short time. Let's save some money for them."

Yu's mother directly expressed her idea of ​​not having a wedding banquet.

. . . . . .

Although Liu Minghui brought a lot of things with Yu Li on his bike, they were not heavy and he just let Yu Li carry them.

It took nearly an hour's ride to get back to Liujia Village. On the way, Yu Li was quite interested in the countryside scenery. After all, she was so old and had only been out of the city a few times.

There were still a few people guarding the entrance to the village. Liu Minghui greeted them and rode home.

"Mom, come out quickly, your uncle has brought you a daughter-in-law."

As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, my sister-in-law saw me and shouted into the house.

Liu Minghui pushed the car into the yard, and then Liu's father and mother came out.

"Mom, this is Yu Li, your future daughter-in-law."

"Yu Li, this is my father and mother, the one next to them is my eldest sister-in-law, and my little niece."

After getting off the car, Yu Li greeted several people and said, "Hello, uncle and aunt, hello, sister-in-law."

As he said this, he squatted down and picked up Liu Yumei.

"Is this your sister-in-law's child? What's your name?"

Liu Yumei was not afraid of strangers when Yu Li held her up, and said crisply, "My name is Liu Yumei."

Mother Liu looked at Yu Li, who Liu Minghui had brought back, and said happily, "Good child, good, good, good."

Then he laughed and scolded Liu Minghui, "You said you were bringing a girlfriend back but you didn't tell me in advance. If you had told me a few days earlier, I would have asked your father to build an extra room for Yu Li to live in."

The Liu family now has only four houses, one for Liu's father and mother, one for each of the three brothers, and the rest are the kitchen and the woodshed.

"It's okay. My second brother and I can just stay in my room for two days. Let Lily live in my room."

"Come inside first, we'll talk later."

Father Liu on the side spoke up.

Liu Minghui and others entered the main room.

"Mom, where are my eldest and second brothers?"

Liu Minghui felt a little surprised when he came back and didn't see the eldest and second sons of the Liu family.

"The village is organizing people to fish in the creek ahead. They will probably be back soon."

There is a river not far from Liujia Village. As the New Year is approaching, the villagers plan to catch some fish to add a dish to the New Year.

Although people of this era don’t like to eat fish because it has a strong fishy smell and it doesn’t taste good without seasoning.

But it’s meat after all, so it’s okay to give each family two or three pieces.
