Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Not long after, Hu Lai, Han Lu and Dong Shuwan returned to the yard one after another. They saw Li Muhua's parents coming to visit, but Li Muhua was not there. Instead, Zhou Ru was there chatting with them. They couldn't help but feel puzzled.

They came into the room one by one to inquire about the situation. Li Muhua distributed cakes to everyone and said helplessly, "There is nothing we can do. There is nothing to say. Just wait for them to leave."

Seeing this, the few people didn't dare to ask any more questions and just took the pastries.

Yecheng is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, leading the prosperous area of ​​Jiangnan. The pastries there are more exquisite and delicious than those in Sijiu City. Several people exclaimed that it was novel.

Not long after, Li Yujie entered the room. The room was bright. Li Muhua looked at her coldly and said, "Oh, who was that? Isn't this Zhou Ru's biological sister?"

Hearing Li Muhua's words, Li Yujie said coldly: "Come out, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Li Yujie smiled at a few people, turned around and left the house.

Seeing the stupid looks of the two men, Li Muhua slapped them awake in annoyance and chased after them.

Arriving at the river, Li Muhua asked before Li Yujie could speak: "Do you know where this is? Do you know how you got here?"

"Xiaowang Village, it takes three or four hours to get here by ox cart from the county, and it's all in the wilderness. You dare to wear something so eye-catching. I admire your brain."

Li Yujie glanced down and said, "You didn't write that you would be coming to Xiaowang Village for so long, so we naturally didn't expect to dress like beggars."

"Okay, okay!" Li Muhua said helplessly, "You blame me for everything, right? I'll ask Shu Wan to get you some clothes and let you wear them."

Li Yujie shook her head and said, "No, just give me a set of long shirt and trousers, and your tattered straw hat."

"If I put it on, I'd be a beggar!"

Seeing that Li Yujie was still belittling herself, Li Muhua said unhappily: "Okay, okay, I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you leave quickly."

"I finally managed to clear up Zhou Ru's entanglement, and you guys come here to mess things up. I really—"

Li Muhua was so angry that his teeth were itching. He picked up a stone from the ground, swung his arm and threw it forward. Fortunately, it didn't hit the other side of the river directly.

Seeing him so angry, Li Yujie gently comforted him, "I pushed him for your own good. Being in someone else's territory is like being on a chopping board."

"You never know when someone will plot against you. I thought the only way to ensure that you will not be plotted against is to let you find a partner."

"I can see Zhou Ru's thoughts, and Mom is happy about it. It will be convenient for us to send you food and daily necessities in the future, and you won't have to live such a hard life."

The river water was reflected in her eyes. At this moment, Li Yujie's eyes were as deep as the abyss, full of calculations.

Li Muhua knew that Li Yujie was doing this for her own good, and felt sorry for the hardship she was having here, so her tone softened.

"Could you please stop imposing your ideas on me?"

"Whether I am willing to live a hard life is my own business. There is no need to drag Zhou Ru into this and sacrifice her reputation just to send me some candies, cakes, and canned fruits and meats."

"It's not just about the food." Li Yujie explained, "It's also about Ma Decai!"

Li Muhua replied: "You still don't trust me? He's just Ma Decai. I can write a letter to Beijing anytime and he will be taken away for investigation in a few days. He will never come back."

"How many days are left? There is one Ma Decai. There are seven or eight hundred Ma Decai in Xiaowang Village and across the river."

After Li Yujie finished speaking, she saw that Li Muhua still wanted to argue, so she said directly in a stern voice: "Whether you are willing to endure hardships is your business, but you gave up your bright future to join the team for me. I don't want to see you suffer, and I don't want to see you tied to some rural wild girl in the future."

"There's no need to talk about this matter. Just do as Mom and I say."

After saying that, Li Yujie walked away. Li Muhua looked at her back with helplessness. He picked up another stone and threw it hard to the other side of the river - but it still splashed water.

"There's no way, there's no way. I can't afford to offend either side, and plans can't keep up with changes!"

Li Muhua walked back, feeling extremely regretful - he shouldn't have been so blind as to sit opposite Zhou Ru on the train.

If it had really been as he planned, with strangers cutting in line together, and he had lived honestly for the past few years, none of these troubles would have happened.

He returned to the house with a depressed heart, but thinking that he was the one who got the advantage in this matter, Li Muhua could only force a smile.

Li Haifu and Ma Decai sat in the first seat, Li Muhua sat on Ma Decai's right, and Xu Yan, Zhou Ru and Li Yujie sat on Li Haifu's left.

This strange seat caused the three people to look at Li Muhua from time to time.

Xu Yan was still telling Zhou Ru that she had paid Yan Bugui to arrange a desk mate for Li Muhua so that Li Muhua could study well.

It really worked. Not only did Li Muhua learn well afterwards, but the two of them also met here. What a fate...

After hearing this, Zhou Ru looked at Li Muhua with some confusion in her eyes.

Li Muhua smiled at her. He could only accept things that he couldn't resist. There was no need to upset everyone, so Ma Decai could only be happy.

Ma Decai saw this and said with a smile, "It seems that I came too early to act as a matchmaker a month ago. At that time, I asked them if they had any situation, but they all said no."

"Li Muhua was the loudest one, and he told me that he didn't care about personal issues, but wanted to liberate all mankind first."

"I didn't expect that young people are so thin-skinned that they wouldn't tell me!"

Ma Decai shook his head as he spoke, looking extremely helpless.

"It seems that I haven't done enough ideological work, I haven't paid enough attention to your situation, and I haven't penetrated into the inner circle of the educated youth camp!"

When Zhou Ru heard Ma Decai talking about the matchmaker's marriage, she couldn't help but blush.

Li Muhua continued: "Captain Ma, I have to refute you on this."

"I think your ideological work is very effective. Every evening after the work points are evaluated, you ask us to read the newspaper to everyone, which enables our village to understand the ideas conveyed by the higher-ups in a timely manner."

"Besides, you have been very caring towards us. I still remember the first day we came here, Old Man Yang and his three children came to greet us at the entrance of the village. The houses here are bright and well-equipped with stoves and everything. After that, whenever we had difficulties, you helped us without hesitation!"

When Ma Decai heard Li Muhua praising him like that, he couldn't stop smiling.

"It's my duty as a captain. I can't say that the captains in all of China are the same as me, but at least the captains in Yicheng are the same as me."

Li Muhua smiled in agreement and continued, "Speaking of being thin-skinned, didn't I say that later—"

"If any of us have this intention in the future, we will let you be our matchmaker and speak for us."

"Good good!"

Ma Decai smiled from ear to ear and said to Li Haifu, "Then brother Li, I'll wait for Li Muhua to ask me to be a matchmaker so that we can get together and drink again!"

Li Haifu glanced at Li Muhua and then at Li Yujie. He couldn't guess how Li Yujie persuaded Li Muhua. He was somewhat unhappy that they had hastily decided this matter for Li Muhua.

But now that things have come to this, he could only raise his glass and say, "Captain Ma, if that day really comes, don't tell anyone that it was me who came. I'll have to invite you to Sijiucheng and let's go to a restaurant for dinner!"

"Okay, okay!" Ma Decai still couldn't stop smiling.

After they clinked their glasses, they drank it all.
