Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

After seeing the three people leave, Father Yang said to Yang Liu beside the bed: "It's okay, I just drank a little too much."

"People always drink a lot. He should drink a lot when meeting his father-in-law."

Yang Liu said unhappily, "That's easy for you to say. You didn't drink as much as he did. I've never seen you drink too much."

"My duty does not allow me to drink too much. Also, it is because I have drunk too much that I know when I should stop drinking. Being able to drink is not a skill, but being able not to drink is a skill!"

Even though Yang's father explained it this way, Yang Liu was still annoyed and said, "I didn't want to drink in the first place, but I was forced to do so by you, my father-in-law."

Father Yang was speechless. He knew that no matter how reasonable his words were, they would be meaningless in the eyes of Yang Liu, who felt sorry for Li Muhua.

"Old Yang, we are leaving. You don't have to see us off. Just take good care of your son-in-law!" Sun Fuqiang shouted outside.

Father Yang walked out the door and shouted, "I'd better go to Old Wang's house to thank him, so as to avoid smelling the alcohol on him. If Old Wang's wife really makes him sleep on the cement floor, my old leader will be frozen to death."

The voices of the four people gradually faded out of the yard, and the room fell into silence.

Looking back at Li Muhua, this was the first time Yang Liu saw him so quiet. The dim light shone on his face, and there was peace and silence, with only the sound of slightly heavy breathing.

Yang Liu's eyes couldn't help but soften as she looked at him, and she felt inexplicably relieved, as if only at this moment she felt that Li Muhua really belonged to her completely.

She stretched out her hand hesitantly and stroked Li Muhua's face.

……

the next day--

"Hiss~~" Li Muhua rubbed his head and sat up straight. He took a sip of cold water from the porcelain jar beside him. Only then did his confused mind regain some clarity.

The room was brightly sunny. He took his watch from the cabinet and checked the time.

"Half past one, it's already afternoon?"

Li Muhua tried hard to recall what happened last night, but couldn't quite remember it. She just hoped that she hadn't said anything nonsense.

Getting drunk yourself is too risky.

Especially since he was drinking with four division commanders, if he said some nonsense about time travel, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

But he couldn't not drink, so he drank as much as he could, hoping to get drunk to death.

Li Muhua put his feet down in a daze. He felt so sore all over that he didn't want to move. He couldn't help but mutter and curse: "Wine is really not a good thing. All kinds of wine are the same."

I endured the pain, stood up, put on my clothes and walked out the door.

Hearing the noise here, Yang Liu also walked out the door, looked at him and said, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Be more careful in the future and don't let yourself be fed like this again."

Li Muhua nodded, forced a smile and said, "This time the situation is special, and we have to make emergency decisions. You know how much I don't like drinking."

Yang Liu nodded, knowing that she had urged Li Muhua to drink before, but he always declined and said frankly that he hated drinking.

After thinking for a while, Yang Liu said, "I know you want to please your father-in-law, but you don't have to be so honest. You really have the spirit of sacrificing your life for a gentleman. If I hadn't grabbed you quickly, you would have fallen to the ground."

"Aren't you here?" Li Muhua muttered and asked, "What about your dad?"

"You're still thinking about your father-in-law even though you're drunk like this." Yang Liu said unhappily, "He's in the military now. Nothing happened to him for drinking all that wine last night."

Yang Liu complained, "Sit down. There's some leftover bone soup. I'll get you a bowl!"

Li Muhua held her back, hesitantly asking, "Then what about last night——"

"My dad is going against his debt. He asked who promised you, so you should call him father-in-law." Yang Liu said directly. She thought Li Muhua was asking about changing his words.

Li Muhua nodded and asked again: "Then I didn't say anything nonsense last night, did I?"

"No!" Yang Liu said, "You performed very well. The three of them praised you. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied." Li Muhua finally laughed.

As long as he didn't say nonsense, he was worried that he might say something nonsense. As for changing his words, he was not in a hurry, it was only a matter of time.

"What's the big deal?" Yang Liu was very happy to see Li Muhua so happy, but she still said unhappily: "Sit down and rest while I serve you some soup!"

"I was planning to go boating with you in Nanhu Park today, to see the Yongjiang River and Qingxiu Mountain, but you slept until the afternoon!"

After watching Yang Liu walk out the door with resentment, Li Muhua sat down at the table, shrugged his shoulders and stretched his hands.

Soon Yang Liu came back and placed the bowl in front of him. Li Muhua's mouth was feeling bitter, and the warm broth made him feel much better instantly.

Yang Liu sat by and watched quietly——

In the evening, Yang's father returned from the military headquarters.

He still had a stern face, but when he saw Li Muhua, he still praised her: "You can drink quite well, you didn't embarrass me!"

"Hehe, it should be okay. I don't really know my alcohol tolerance." Li Muhua said with a silly smile.

Father Yang nodded and sat down at the table. He took off his military cap and asked the two of them, "Since I agree to your marriage, when are you going to go back and get the marriage certificate?"

"How are we going to organize the wedding?" Father Yang said to Li Muhua, "I haven't seen your parents yet, so I can only ask you about the rules."

Li Muhua answered directly: "We haven't decided on a date yet, as long as it's before school starts. We want to pick an auspicious date to get the marriage certificate, and you can decide that."

Yang Liu said directly: "The sixteenth day of the first lunar month. We have seen that this date is very auspicious. His family is already preparing for the wedding. Just invite some relatives and friends. We will leave around eleven or twelve!"

Yang Liu directly presented the plan for the two of them. Father Yang nodded after listening, and then looked at Li Muhua and said, "You don't have to say these nice words to me. I like direct and practical things."

Li Muhua nodded awkwardly and asked, "Uncle, do you think this day is suitable?"

"You are getting married, and the date and wedding ceremony are up to you." Father Yang looked at Yang Liu and asked, "Where are you going to pick up the bride?"

Yang Liu was a little depressed after hearing this and said, "I don't really want to go to my uncle's house. I can just find a guesthouse when the time comes."

Father Yang nodded and said, "Okay, after all, we haven't had much friendship over the years, so you don't have to worry about the guesthouse. When I return to Sijiu City, I will arrange for the guesthouse."

When Yang Liu heard him say that he wanted to go back to Sijiu City, she was surprised.

She originally thought that her father would not go back to attend the wedding. After all, in the past twenty years, Yang's father had only returned to Sijiu City once, and that was the year he went back to pick her up.

Besides, it is normal for parents not to be present at weddings nowadays.

Especially since Yang's father had a special status, and Sijiu City and Green City were far apart, so whenever she talked about marriage, she said that her father might not come back.

Both the Li family and Li Muhua think so.

"Guesthouse..." Hearing that Father Yang was going to stay at the military guesthouse, Li Muhua interrupted and said, "I have an empty yard in the west of the city, only a dozen minutes' walk from my home."

"If you don't want to go through Uncle Yangliu's house to pick up the bride, you can go to that yard."

"I'll call my family first and ask them to pack up so that you don't have to stay in a guesthouse when you go back."

This yard was originally prepared for Qinghua, so it was not rented out. However, getting married is important now, so Li Muhua plans to rent out the yard first.

When Li Qinghua comes back, I'll free up a yard for him.

"Do you have another yard?" Yang Liu asked curiously.

She had never heard Li Muhua or the Li family mention this matter.

Li Muhua nodded and said, "Yes, it's a little smaller than my current yard, and the location is also quite different."

Without Yang Liu asking again, he continued, "Marrying at home is different from marrying at a guesthouse. Besides, once you stay there, uncle, you will be Yang Liu's mother's home in the city."

Yang's father did not feel any psychological pressure to live in a courtyard. After all, he had only one daughter, Yang Liu. Although the courtyard was Yang Liu's mother's home, it actually belonged to both of them, and he did not often stay in the city.

"Okay, let's do it according to your arrangements." Father Yang agreed.

"Okay!" Li Muhua smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll call home right now and ask my parents to clean up the yard as soon as possible."

After saying that, Li Muhua stood up and went to the phone, but Yang's father said, "My phone can't make external calls."

"Take him to the telephone booth, where he can contact the outside world." Yang's father said to Yang Liu.

Yang Liu nodded, stood up, and pulled Li Muhua out the door.
