Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

After being harassed for a long time, Li Muhua was finally able to get rid of these inquiries when Cheng Qiaohui took Li Hongmei out.

"Hongmei, hurry up and call uncle!"

Cheng Qiaohui pulled Li Hongmei and said.

Li Hongmei is a small girl with a chubby face and two pigtails. Her face is a little dark and red. She is hugging Cheng Qiaohui's thigh timidly and looking at Li Muhua.

Li Muhua was somewhat disappointed when she saw Li Hongmei, the person she had been looking forward to the most. The reason was simply that Li Hongmei did not look cute at all.

Although feeling a little disappointed, Li Muhua still squatted down, took out a few candies from his pocket with each hand, and looked at Li Hongmei with his most friendly smile.

"Hongmei, I have White Rabbit and Red Crispy Candy here. What kind of candy do you like?"

When she heard the name White Rabbit, Li Hongmei's eyes lit up and she answered crisply, "I like White Rabbit."

Li Muhua peeled the big white rabbit, and Li Hongmei approached hesitantly. Cheng Qiaohui stopped her and said, "Hongmei, if you want to eat candy, call uncle first."

"Uncle!"

This time, without hesitation, Li Hongmei shouted directly.

Li Muhua smiled and nodded in agreement, fed Li Hongmei the candy, and handed all the candies in his hand to her.

Li Hongmei's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled, making her look even cuter.

Li Muhua rubbed her head, stood up and looked at Cheng Qiaohui.

"Second sister-in-law!"

Cheng Qiaohui smiled and nodded in agreement, and then said, "Come inside and take a rest. You must be tired after such a long journey!"

"Okay!" After agreeing, Li Muhua squatted down again and opened his arms to Li Hongmei: "Do you want your uncle to hold you?"

Li Hongmei looked at the candy in her hand, then looked at Cheng Qiaohui and Li Muhua. Finally, she gave Li Muhua face and walked closer.

Li Muhua picked up Li Hongmei with a smile on his face. She was the only younger generation in their Li family.

After walking a few steps, Li Hongmei leaned on Li Muhua's shoulder, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Mom, uncle smells so good, even better than White Rabbit candy!"

"Haha~~" Everyone couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

Cheng Qiaohui scolded: "Isn't the fragrance good?"

"It's better than all of you stinking up, right?"

"My brother-in-law is a college student. He only studies and writes in school every day and doesn't even need to break a sweat. He doesn't have to herd sheep or camels or pick up feces and dung balls like you do."

"He's going to be a government official in the future, so how can he stink like you guys?"

After this, no one dared to laugh anymore.

Only people grumbled, "No matter how fragrant your brother-in-law is, he is still your brother-in-law. I think Qinghua is no different from us, and he also smells like sheep dung!"

Everyone burst into laughter again, and Cheng Qiaohui couldn't help looking a little embarrassed.

Li Muhua turned back and smiled, "That's because my brother is willing. He can have food and clothing in the old city, but he is happy to raise camels and sheep here to accompany my sister-in-law!"

Hearing this, Cheng Qiaohui smiled gratefully at Li Muhua.

Everyone was speechless again, thinking that the Cheng family was indeed very lucky.

It's already lucky enough to have in-laws like the Li family, but she can even find a "stupid" son-in-law like Li Qinghua, who would rather not return to the city than get divorced.

With Li Qinghua, a show-off maniac, around, everyone naturally knows the Li family's situation, so they are jealous.

He walked into the house holding Li Hongmei.

Not only were there people from the Cheng family in the room, but there were also commune leaders and the director of the Youth League Office. Since Li Muhua, this great Buddha, had come to their territory, they also wanted to see him.

Li Muhua had no choice but to put Li Hongmei aside and chat with them.

The excitement lasted until lunchtime, when the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

To welcome everyone, the Cheng family specially slaughtered a sheep and prepared a table of sumptuous specialties. Li Haifu also took out roast duck and other local specialties from his suitcase.

There were even a few strings of candied haws, and Li Hongmei said that this was her favorite when she went to Sijiucheng a few years ago.

My eldest uncle's family, my second uncle's family, and some elders who should be invited, nearly twenty people gathered at the dinner table and chatted.

The mutton here is indeed as good as its reputation, but Li Muhua only tasted it briefly and praised it mostly. He did not drink any alcohol, only camel milk.

Camel milk has a stronger aroma than cow milk, but it is also saltier and more fishy. Although Li Muhua doesn't like it very much, it is not difficult to accept. It tastes better than white wine.

The conversation ended in the afternoon.

Li Muhua wandered around for a while, took a quick look at the village environment, and then went home to tease Li Hongmei.

The first day passed like this. The Li family did not explain their purpose and the Cheng family did not ask. They just welcomed them and performed the courtesy, as if they were completing the meeting that the two in-laws should have before their wedding.

There were enough empty rooms in the house, and Li Muhua even slept in a room alone.

the next day--

Since Li Haifu didn't say anything, Li Muhua naturally wouldn't mention it either. He just asked Li Qinghua to take him to learn horse riding.

The commune would naturally not object to such a small thing as riding a horse, so under the guidance of Li Qinghua and Cheng Jiefang, Li Muhua bravely mounted the horse.

First they led her for a walk, and then Li Muhua walked slowly by herself.

After only one morning of learning, I was able to ride a horse. In the afternoon, the three of us rode to the edge of the desert to experience the desert scenery.

However, Li Muhua was not very reassured about the current public security, so he did not wander around or go to restaurants as he had said when he first arrived. His life was more important.

Day three...

Day 4

During lunch, Li Haifu asked to leave.

Cheng's father, Cheng's mother and everyone else tried to persuade them to stay, wanting them to stay a few more days.

Li Haifu said frankly that they would leave for the city tomorrow and would be back for a total of six days. No matter how long their leaders' vacation was, it could not exceed a week.

Without waiting for Cheng's father and mother to persuade him again, Li Haifu invited Cheng's father to go back to Sijiu City with him so that he could fulfill his duties as a host. From then on, the two families had been in constant contact.

Father Cheng smoked a cigarette and still refused.

Li Haifu tried to persuade him again, saying that he would cover all the travel expenses, and that he had two filial sons at home to take care of him, so it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't come back for a week or two.

Father Cheng smoked a cigarette with a thoughtful look on his face.

Knowing Li Haifu's plan, Li Muhua advised: "Uncle and aunt, you should go to Sijiu City to have a look. You should visit Chengtian Gate, Zhonghua Gate, Temple of Heaven Park and the Summer Palace. You should also take a few more photos with your second brother and sister-in-law."

"You have a son-in-law from the Forbidden City. If you haven't even been to the Forbidden City, people will talk about Qinghua and our family behind our backs and say that we are ignorant!"

Li Qinghua and Cheng Qiaohui also followed suit to persuade him, and Cheng Jiefang also said that they should not worry, he was taking care of the family.

After being pressured by such righteousness several times, Cheng's father had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then I'll go to Sijiu City with my wife to bother you for a few days." Father Cheng put out his cigarette and said, "But I have to pay for the expenses myself. I can't take advantage of you!"

Li Haifu did not insist, but smiled and said, "Don't bother me. We have wanted to invite you to Sijiu City for a long time, but there has never been a suitable opportunity."

"As for the expenses——"

Li Haifu looked at Li Qinghua and said, "Your son-in-law should pay for this. This is his filial piety. You have to give your child a chance to be filial, right?"

When Li Qinghua heard this, he immediately took it on like a local rich man.

Father Cheng couldn't refute, so he agreed.

The commune issued a letter of introduction in the afternoon.

Mid-morning of the next day, my brother-in-law Cheng Jiefang drove a tractor and took the eight of them to Xingqing Station.

We said goodbye to Cheng Jiefang, bought train tickets with the approval slips, and boarded the train.

Along the way, both parents felt a little reserved and curious, and spent a lot of time looking at the scenery passing by outside the window.

Blind migration is now prohibited, and the division between urban and rural areas is very strict. You need a legitimate reason and a letter of introduction to go anywhere. Many rural people have only seen the few villages where they were born and lived in their entire lives, and only a few can leave the city.

So it’s not surprising that Mr. and Mrs. Cheng looked a little strange when it was their first time to go on a long journey.

On the contrary, seeing how surprised they were, Li Haifu actually smiled.
