Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

After a while, the tricycle stopped in front of a large courtyard.

The four pillars at the gate of the courtyard and the roof are covered with red tiles. Under the roof there is a horizontal bar similar to a plaque, which is made of white tiles all over and a red star is hung in the middle, which is very dazzling.

There is a red flag fluttering in the wind on the roof.

There were two armed guards standing on both sides, looking at them. From the look in their eyes, they seemed to know Yang Liu.

Yang Liu stepped forward and handed over her ID, and after being checked, she was saluted and allowed to pass.

Yang Liu led Li Muhua directly into the courtyard.

"Oh my goodness, a kid like me who grew up in a slum actually got married into a military compound. I'm really promising!"

Li Muhua looked at the rare green plants on both sides of the road and shouted like a countryman entering the city.

Yang Liu couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you had said that six years ago, it would have been true. You were so tanned back then that I couldn't recognize you after you got off the car."

"Now - I think you look like a kid from a military compound, better than the kids from the military compound."

"He has a good appearance, was admitted to Huazhong University as a teacher, and is more capable than them!" Yang Liu praised sincerely.

Li Muhua was happy to hear that, but still said, "Don't say that. You are generalizing a whole compound. If others hear this, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this compound."

After that, Li Muhua inquired again: "I don't have any rivals in love here. When you heard that you were dating me, you came up to me and wanted to fight with me, right?"

Li Muhua was really worried, after all, there were many such bloody plots in TV dramas.

Yang Liu shook her head and said, "There were a few who pestered me before, but I didn't care about them. Later, I took the college entrance examination and went to work in the unit. They all joined the army, and gradually we lost contact!"

"That's great!" Li Muhua grinned and said, "Besides worrying about my father-in-law, this is what I'm most worried about along the way."

"Who made my wife so beautiful? She must be popular!"

When Yang Liu heard this, she said unhappily, "That's not as good as you. I heard from Sister Yujie that when you were in junior high and high school, you wanted all the girls in the school to be crazy about you!"

Li Muhua felt embarrassed when she heard this, and quickly explained: "Keep a low profile, they are all after my reputation. My sister must have told you that I can't even hide from them. But you are different. You rely on your own beauty and personality charm."

"Humph~" Yang Liu snorted coldly, "It's because you couldn't even hide from them that I didn't settle the score with you!"

The two of them walked towards Yang's house, joking. On the way, they met acquaintances from time to time, who greeted Yang Liu and looked at them jokingly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can understand what's going on between them. Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Back then, Yang Liu was the prettiest girl in the compound. She was ambitious and promising. She had no brothers at home, and many people wanted to marry her because of her connections.

As a result, she refused to agree to any marriage and did not find a partner. She was like a nun, dragging her feet until she was 26 or 27 years old, which made many people feel sorry for her.

Now that Yang Liu suddenly came with her boyfriend, these people were naturally surprised.

There was no intention to hide it. Yang Liu said directly that they became a couple through classmates and that she brought Li Muhua to meet her father.

Yang Liu was so direct that Li Muhua was not ambiguous and said frankly that he hoped his father-in-law would take a liking to him.

Along the way, there were mostly congratulations and blessings, praising the two for being a perfect match.

Arriving in front of the Yang family's yard, Li Muhua looked at the earthen wall and red brick tiles in front of him and couldn't help but think that the conditions were difficult.

Pushing open the gate, Yang Liu walked in front and shouted, "Dad, I'm back!"

Before the two of them reached the door, they saw a man in military uniform walking out. His eyes like an eagle glanced at Yang Liu and fell on Li Muhua.

He was dressed neatly in a green military uniform with red collar badges and a military cap. His brows were firm and his eyes were as sharp as knives. Li Muhua couldn't help but think that he was a good man.

Just as she said before, Yang Liu pulled Li Muhua forward and said, "Dad, you see, he's the one I've always wanted to find. I won't marry anyone else but him!"

He looked very proud.

"Hello, uncle. I am Li Muhua, and——"

Without waiting for Li Muhua to finish, Father Yang glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate, turned around and said, "Come in!"

Li Muhua followed his gaze and looked back. It turned out that there were a few people following them and looking at them at the gate of the courtyard.

Yang Liu didn't say anything, didn't even turn her head, and pulled Li Muhua into the house.

The furnishings in the room were also very simple, with only ornaments such as great men's statues and the Red Star Map, and there was not a trace of warmth.

"Sit down!" Father Yang pointed to the chair in front of the table.

Li Muhua placed the suitcase against the wall, and Yang Liu pulled him to sit down.

The two men sat below, and Yang's father sat above, with an air as if he was interrogating the two men.

Father Yang looked down at his watch, then looked up and said, "The cafeteria has just opened, go get some food first!"

After hearing this, Yang Liu opened her eyes wide and asked, "Not to mention that Mu Hua is still a guest, your daughter hasn't been home for a year, and you let us eat in the cafeteria on the second day of the New Year?"

"At least we have to go to the cafeteria and order food, right?"

Yang Liu didn't move at all and was unwilling to get up and go to the cafeteria.

She felt that her father was trying to get her out of the way so that he could speak harshly to Li Muhua.

Father Yang couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, saying, "I won't object to your marriage. It's useless to object."

Yang Liu's face lit up with joy after hearing this, but Yang's father looked at Li Muhua and said, "I know your situation. You wrote "Drawing Sword" when you were twelve years old. This book was also very popular in our army and was even published in the military newspaper. When you were thirteen years old, it was published in the newspaper and praised by the instructor. He also donated 100 yuan of royalties. You should have had a bright future."

"As a result, because you refused to join the Red Guards and the rebels and did not support them, you and your sister were all asked to go to the countryside. You were actually sent to the countryside on behalf of your sister."

"You met Zhou Ru on the train when you went to the countryside. The next year, your mother introduced you to Zhou Ru and you started dating her. The year after that, you got married. But because of problems at Zhou Ru's family, you divorced her and sent her brother to a farm for forced labor. He was only released in the first half of last year."

"Then it was the college entrance exam. Not only did you get into Huazhong University, you almost got all the educated youth in your group into college. Zhao Quan also passed the score line back then."

"You are also extraordinary in Huada University. The knowledge you have displayed makes many teachers feel ashamed. Many of your civil engineering department textbooks were compiled by you."

"You are very good in terms of knowledge, and you have never done anything to discredit your teachers. You have been working in the countryside honestly for five years and never used connections to transfer back to the city. The only time you used connections was to deal with the team leader of your production team. You did nothing wrong in that."

"It can be said that there is nothing wrong with your character. You are just a little greedy for pleasure and have improper conduct towards men and women!"

He admitted that he was greedy for pleasure, but his conduct between men and women was not right - Li Muhua hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but Yang Liu pulled him back.

Father Yang smiled and said, "I can take back what you said about your improper conduct towards men and women. In junior high and high school, your conduct towards men and women was very proper. It was only after entering university that it became improper for a while!"

"I said all this to prove that I know you very well, so I won't object to your marriage. I didn't object to Yang Liu applying to study for a master's degree at Huazhong University last year, and I even helped her get it done!"

"but--"

Father Yang added: "I am very dissatisfied with your study of civil engineering. Building a house is such a simple thing. It is a waste of your intelligence."

"Whether you study literature or a technical engineering major like Yang Liu, you can be of greater use. Judging from the book 'Drawing Sword' you wrote and the two letters, I think you have a strategic vision and you can consider joining the army."

"I would rather suggest you to develop in the army because I'm here!" Father Yang stared at Li Muhua with sharp eyes, looking forward to his answer.

After getting to know Li Muhua carefully, he really admired him and didn't want him to waste time on things like building a house.
