Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

When they met again, Cheng Qiaohui looked at Li Muhua with disbelief. Li Muhua smiled and explained that it was all in the past and he was lucky not to be classified as a poor ninth grader now.

Like Li Qinghua, he was sent to the countryside to work as an educated youth. Now he is just an ordinary educated youth who went to the countryside.

Cheng Qiaohui shook her head after hearing this.

"You are not ordinary. You are not ordinary. Our teacher read it in the newspaper and called on us to learn from you. I never thought that I would see you in person today!"

"Brother Qinghua, why didn't you tell me in advance that you have such a famous brother?"

Seeing Cheng Qiaohui praising Li Muhua and blaming him, Li Qinghua felt jealous and rolled up the newspaper, pointed at Li Muhua and said, "You want to learn from him?"

"Even though he was in the newspapers, you don't know how naughty he was when he was a kid. Chasing chickens and dogs is not enough. During Chinese New Year, he took me to throw firecrackers at other people's homes and deliberately threw them at other people. In the end, all the neighbors in our area were cursing at him..."

Li Qinghua kept recounting Li Muhua's disastrous past twelve years, trying to prove that he was much better than Li Muhua. He almost said that he was the one who changed all of Li Muhua's diapers.

Cheng Qiaohui looked unconvinced, and Li Muhua quickly stopped Li Qinghua, and they went out.

After walking around the entrance of the mall, Li Qinghua wanted to go in and say hello, but Li Muhua quickly stopped him and told him what happened when he came back yesterday.

Li Qinghua then gave up and the group rushed to the bathhouse.

However, the public bathhouse was still a little too advanced for Chen Qiaohui, who came from the Northwest. In the end, she still wore the bright red coat she wore when she went in, and her face was red.

The group first went to the most famous Quanjude.

However, since the old plaque was smashed, the sign now reads "Sijiucheng Roast Duck Restaurant".

Looking at this rough long piece of lacquered wood, Li Muhua sighed inwardly, what a waste of things, such a good plaque was smashed by those people!

If you really think about it, that plaque can also be considered a cultural relic.

Fortunately, the plaque was smashed but the smell was not. There was no time to feel sad. Li Muhua followed the three of them into the store. Li Qinghua pulled Cheng Qiaohui to the duck rack and started to choose ducks.

Li Muhua and the other person looked at each other and silently found a table to sit down.

Li Yujie said: "We are still following them as light bulbs in the afternoon?"

Li Muhua thought about it, nodded and said, "Just bear with it. After we meet my parents tonight, I won't follow him tomorrow even if he begs me to!"

Li Yujie nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked in front all the way, while Li Muhua and Li Yujie followed far behind them - bored!

Having grown up here since childhood, they have long been tired of the scenery in the old city, not to mention those old dog-skin plasters.

So even though he had been away from the city for half a year, Li Muhua had no intention of looking back.

They strolled around like this until it was getting dark, and then the four of them headed back.

Xu Yan and Li Haifu were not as unhappy as Li Muhua had expected. At least they prepared a table of delicious food and welcomed her with smiles, which seemed completely acceptable.

At the dinner table, she asked about Cheng Qiaohui's family situation, their future plans, etc...

After hearing the two say they would get the marriage certificate after the Chinese New Year, the couple looked at each other and had no choice but to acknowledge this daughter-in-law!

the next day--

Li Qinghua got up and shouted, saying that he would take Cheng Qiaohui to Shichahai to go ice skating today. Li Muhua and the other two declined, saying that they had to go to the mall to help, and did not go with them.

Today is the 29th, and the mall is much more crowded than in the past few days, almost squeezing out the counters.

Li Muhua worked hard as a salesgirl and did a lot of hard work for the shopping mall.

It's a pity that there are no New Year's goods now. I almost dragged Li Muhua to have a meal to recall the past and think of the sweet past. In short, it was all in vain and I even spent money on a restaurant meal.

Welcome the New Year——

With the arrival of the new daughter-in-law, the New Year atmosphere in the Li family naturally became much more lively. Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. When they saw that Li Qinghua had married a country daughter-in-law, they first congratulated him with a smile on their faces.

He turned around and asked, "What about Aihua? He is the eldest brother."

Li Haifu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Let them fall in love freely. I don't care. They are both out of town now. I can't control them even if I want to."

Yan Bugui glanced at Li Yujie and the other kids again, then pulled Li Haifu aside.

"How can we have a free love relationship? We should know each other's background before getting married..."

Li Muhua knew what he wanted to say, so she winked at Li Yujie, but she glared back at her fiercely. However, due to Cheng Qiaohui's identity, no one mentioned the matter.

Not long after, the two came back, and Yan Bugui looked a little depressed.

Knowing that Li Haifu would never agree to the marriage, they were not surprised.

……

The new year was just halfway through, but on the sixth day of the new year, they had to say goodbye. Li Qinghua and Cheng Qiaohui boarded the train back to Shaanxi.

After interacting with Cheng Qiaohui these days, the old couple has quietly changed their minds and thinks she is a good person, hardworking, straightforward and quite smart.

If I have to say a flaw, it's that he has a loud voice, tends to be noisy, and is a bit petty.

But that's nothing, especially since she's from the countryside.

So the old couple really accepted her as their daughter-in-law, and gave her two coats before she left, including one set of the most fashionable military green coat at the time.

There was also a festive red silk jacket for them to wear when they got married.

In addition, they also brought back a lot of local specialties from the city, saying that they wanted Li Qinghua to say hello to their in-laws on their behalf.

"Drip~~"

As the train drove away, Xu Yan and Li Haifu reluctantly looked away.

Li Muhua rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at Li Yujie and said jokingly: "Sister, learn more."

"When you find a husband, you have to be like your sister-in-law and carry big and small bags for us to your parents' home, understand?"

"Snapped!"

Li Yujie kicked her feet in annoyance and said, "You wish. I want to move things out like you do."

"Dad, Mom, did you hear that? You raised this daughter for nothing!"

The brother and sister played and laughed, and ran out of the platform. The atmosphere of parting was finally diluted, and the old couple followed them out.

But just three days later, Li Muhua came back here with a package, and this time he was the one being delivered.

Seeing tears welling up in Xu Yan's eyes, Li Muhua forced a smile and said, "Please don't cry. If you drop this golden bead, will I dare to come back next year?"

After hearing this, Xu Yan wiped her eyes and said angrily, "How dare you!"

"No, no, I will definitely come back this year, right?" Li Muhua said with a smile.

"Drip~"

A train whistle sounded behind him. Li Muhua turned around but was stopped by Xu Yan, who handed her a small box.

"Little one, you are twenty this year too. We can't spend your birthday with you. This watch is your birthday present, so we give it to you in advance!"

Li Haifu continued: "At the age of 20, it's time to have a watch."

As he said this, he showed the watch on his hand.

Li Muhua took it and said, "Okay, I'm leaving!"

"Just like last year, I'll write home as soon as I get there!"

"Yeah!" Xu Yan nodded.

Li Muhua walked towards the train without looking back.

Seeing Li Muhua walking into the train, Xu Yan murmured, "What kind of life is this? We are obviously a family, but we are all far away from each other and we can only see each other once a year."

"If it were an ordinary family, they would only see each other twice in their lifetime!"

"Ugh!"

Li Haifu shook his head and sighed, "Our family is considered lucky. At least they have money and a way to come back."

"Old Yan's family..." Li Haifu shook his head and sighed, and didn't say anything else.

Xu Yan kept wiping her tears. Without Li Muhua's cooperation today, Li Yujie could only hug Xu Yan, and the three of them walked out of the station in a desolate manner.
