Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

The day came in a flash, and it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month——

Sister-in-law Qiao Manwen returned to the courtyard, and this year she and Li Aihua will celebrate the New Year here.

Yang Liu got along quite well with her, but not for long. The next day, Li Muhua and she boarded a train to Greentown.

After saying goodbye to the people who were seeing them off at the platform, the two boarded the sleeper car of the train.

It is difficult to buy sleeper berths nowadays, and the price is very expensive. Only high-ranking officials at level 13 can buy soft berths. Neither of us is of high enough rank, so we can only buy hard berths.

They entered the hard sleeper carriage, where there were three rows of beds on each side. They put their luggage on the luggage rack and waited for the train to start, but they didn't see any other passengers getting on.

It wasn't surprising. After all, the platform was deserted just now, with only about forty or fifty people getting on the train.

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. I'm afraid that no one in the city would go to other places except for official business.

Looking at the city passing by outside the window, Li Muhua said with a smile: "I never thought that one day I would spend the New Year on a train, and the train I was going to was Greentown!"

Yang Liu leaned leisurely on the bed, glancing sideways at Li Muhua who was standing in front of the car window.

"Say this!"

"You don't want to spend the New Year with me on the train to Greentown?"

Li Muhua turned her head and said helplessly, "We have only been on the train for less than ten minutes. Where is the gentleness and kindness of your young wife just now?"

"Gentle and lovely?" Yang Liu said unhappily, "You are going to my house now. It's my turn to be the stubborn daughter and it's your turn to be the good husband!"

"Go get me a basin of water for washing my feet, then wash my feet for me and massage my shoulders and back!" Yang Liu sat up straight and gave the order in a domineering tone.

"Okay, I'll serve my unruly wife right away!" Li Muhua approached Yang Liu and put his hand on her shoulder.

"What do you think your father's reaction would be when he sees me? You are his only daughter. He won't try to intimidate me and make me never dare to bully you again, right?"

Li Muhua was really a little worried. Father Liu had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and had guarded the border for more than 20 years. Li Muhua was really a little scared to meet such a tough soldier as his father-in-law.

"Do you still want to bully me?" Yang Liu asked with a raised eyebrow.

"of course!"

Li Muhua agreed and reached down with both hands, hugged Yang Liu directly, and moved his big mouth straight to Yang Liu's cheek.

After succeeding, Li Muhua let go of her hand with some pride, and sat on the bed with his arms around Yang Liu.

Yang Liu's cheeks were slightly red, but she still said carelessly: "Don't worry, there won't be any such problems. When the time comes, I will take you to my dad and tell him--"

"Dad, you see, he's the one I've always wanted to find. I won't marry anyone else but him!"

There was a hint of pride and longing on Yang Liu's face, as if she had won.

These words made Li Muhua sigh inwardly. Yang Liu had been as hot as a fire from the beginning, which made him feel a little ashamed of himself.

The snowfield outside the window gradually turned into grayish yellow.

Time came to the second day, New Year's Eve -

The food on the train was very good. You could order a variety of stir-fried dishes, and there were also meat and egg dumplings on New Year's Day. The two of them also brought some vegetables with them.

So although their New Year’s Eve dinner was not as sumptuous as at home, it was not shabby either.

After the Chinese New Year, the train headed south again. The two took off their coats and only wore their cashmere sweaters underneath.

The green outside the window gradually became darker, and finally it became too hot even to wear a cashmere sweater, so Li Muhua had to change into a shirt and put on a light green jacket on the outside.

Jackets have been popular in China for a long time, but were later labeled as revisionist and only returned to the public eye last year.

However, the styles of today's jackets are not simple, but rather bulky and bloated. When put on, the sleeves swing like an opera singer. Li Muhua could only order a custom-made one that fits her perfectly, which makes her look more energetic.

After two years of hard work, Li Muhua has brought not only architectural knowledge from later generations, but also clothing from later generations.

"Tsk tsk tsk~~" Yang Liu said jokingly, "This is really like an old cucumber painted green - pretending to be young!"

Li Muhua retorted: "I am only 27 years old, what do you mean by old cucumber?"

"Besides, if I were Old Cucumber, you wouldn't be able to escape either. We are the same age."

After tidying up his clothes a little, Li Muhua took out his leather shoes from the box and started polishing them.

Yang Liu watched him busying himself with a smile, and joked, "It really looks like meeting your father-in-law. I can actually see you wearing leather shoes."

"Of course, who made me want to marry that girl?" Li Muhua replied.

Yang Liu smiled and looked out the window, and said, "The train will arrive soon. If we hurry up, you can still have lunch with your father-in-law. He doesn't drink at noon, so you have to be prepared for dinner!"

"Ok!"

Li Muhua agreed and said, "Don't worry. I will risk my life to accompany my father-in-law. Even if my intestines are pierced and my stomach is rotten, I will drink this poisonous wine."

Although Li Muhua doesn't like drinking, he can drink quite a lot. He still remembers the first day he reported to the construction site in his previous life. That was the first time he drank white wine in his previous life.

He just drank a big glass of wine, and after drinking three or four taels of wine, he seemed nothing happened, and the leader was very happy.

After that, he drank more and more at every dinner party, often mixing different types of wine. His alcohol tolerance was acceptable, so Li Muhua was not too worried about him having to drink with him.

Sure enough, the whistle sounded soon and the train stopped at Green City Station.

Yang Liu took Li Muhua with him all the way. Li Muhua couldn't understand the local dialect and was taken to the tricycle in a daze.

Seeing the surroundings gradually becoming desolate, Li Muhua joked: "Now I feel like I'm not here to see my father-in-law, but rather like I've been kidnapped!"

Yang Liu smiled and said, "You don't know how much effort I put into trafficking you here!"

More than a decade has passed in a flash, especially when Yang Liu returned to Greentown alone six years ago, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Yang Liu, there's something I've always wanted to ask you—" Li Muhua hesitated.

Yang Liu came back to her senses and said simply, "We'll be at the compound soon, if you have anything to ask, just ask!"

"You worked in a confidential unit before, and you were able to study at Hua University, so the level of your original unit must be very high!" Li Muhua hesitated and said, "We will get married in the future, and you will graduate from graduate school."

"Are you going to stay in Green City forever?"

"Guess?" Yang Liu asked playfully, "Then do you want me to stay in Sijiu City in the future?"

Li Muhua nodded and said, "There is no comparison between Sijiucheng and Greentown. For future development, I still think Sijiucheng is better."

"Then you should behave well in front of your father-in-law. I am staying here for his ideals. This is not my original intention." Yang Liu said seriously: "As long as he thinks you are reliable, it will not be difficult for me to transfer to the Fourth City!"

Li Muhua smiled after hearing this and simply agreed: "Don't worry, doesn't my father-in-law just like drinking and tanks and artillery troops?"

"Then I'll drink with him and talk to him about the development of the combat system!"

Li Muhua was a little boastful. Although he had only touched a gun in the police station, he was still good at talking about military affairs and the development direction of the war.

I was afraid that Yang’s father would not believe it and think he was daydreaming.

Yang Liu said hesitantly, "My dad has a good impression of you, so don't act too well, especially in the military aspect, otherwise he will definitely want you to join the army."

"You are a student of Hua University, it won't be difficult to be recruited directly into the army!"

"You don't want me to join the army?" Li Muhua asked back.

He felt a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Yang's father was an officer after all, and Yang Liu had lived in the military compound for more than ten years. The confidential unit he worked for was probably closely related to the army, so he should not have wanted him to join the army.

You have to know that the criteria for choosing a spouse in previous years were soldiers - workers - cadres, which shows the social status of soldiers nowadays.

Yang Liu shook her head and said, "I don't want to!"

Without saying anything more, Yang Liu turned her head and pointed forward, saying, "We're almost at my dad's compound!"

"Where is it?" Li Muhua didn't see it.

"We're almost there!" said Yang Liu.

"Oh!"

Li Muhua responded and realized that Yang Liu was trying to change the subject. She felt confused but did not ask any further questions.
