I messed up the Siheyuan

An Youdao frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly nodding, agreeing with Wang Ping's point of view.

This made Wang Ping feel slightly relieved.

He stretched out a finger, shook it slightly, and said, "Uncle, if I work hard here, I should be able to get one million kilograms."

"One million jin!" An Youdao's eyes flashed with brilliance. He looked at Wang Ping excitedly and asked in a trembling voice, "Boy, are you telling the truth?"

"How dare I lie to you?" Wang Ping said jokingly, "If I lied to you, you would punish me, wouldn't you?"

“Hehe…” An Youdao smiled and said nonchalantly: “You are quite vindictive, I was just joking with you!

How can I deal with you?

If I take care of you, won't Xiaoran from my family come after me and kill me?"

Having said this, he smacked his lips again, with a slightly regretful expression on his face.

"Boy, one million jin seems a little short!"

"Didn't you just say that?"

"It will take two or three months for food to arrive from all over the country."

"this..."

"To maintain the normal operation of the Northwest Base, we need at least 500,000 kilograms of food every month."

"We're still a few hundred thousand pounds short!"

"Uncle!..." Wang Ping gave a helpless smile, "You can't rely on me alone for such a big thing!

The one million kilograms I have here are all refined grains such as rice and flour.

If you guys raise some more money, or use some of the refined grains to exchange for more coarse grains, it should be enough."

After An Youdao pondered for a moment, he immediately nodded heavily.

"become!..."

"One million catties, that's one million catties!"

"After you go back, stay at home for the next few days. I will come to see you anytime!"

......

The next day was Xu Damao’s wedding day.

Although this marriage is just a formality, for others to see.

But the Xu family did a pretty good job on the surface.

At least, the procedures that a wedding should have, such as picking up the bride, are basically available online.

There are now three bicycles in the No. 95 compound.

One for Xu Damao, one for Wang Ping, and one for Yan Jiecheng!

Wang Ping and Yan Jiecheng's bicycles were smoothly lent out by Xu's father, Xu Guitian, after each of them threw two packs of Daqianmen bicycles, for the purpose of picking up the bride.

But after Yan Fugui found out about this, he asked Xu Guitian for another pack of cigarettes on the grounds that his bicycle was brand new.

When it was just daybreak, the wedding procession set out.

Because the person who goes with the groom to pick up the bride must be an unmarried young man.

In addition to the groom Xu Damao, the Xu family originally wanted Wang Ping and Liu Guangtian to go as the other two people.

However, because Wang Ping didn't want to join in the fun, he changed the candidate to the slightly younger Ma Erkui.

Finally...

As the groom, Xu Damao rode Yan Jiecheng's new bike, Liu Guangtian rode Wang Ping's bike, and Ma Erkui rode Xu Damao's.

Now that the bride-picking team has set out, it means...

Today's wedding is about to officially begin.

Almost all the staff in the No. 95 compound came out and blocked the gate, just wanting to see what the bride looked like.

Before long, all the residents of Nanluoguxiang, and even people from the neighboring alleys, came running over.

There was no room at the entrance of No. 95 compound, so these people piled up in the entire alley.

Wang Ping stood at the door, smiling and cracking melon seeds.

The melon seeds were given by Xu Guitian.

He grabbed two big handfuls and put them both in his pocket!

He clearly didn't help much with Xu Damao's marriage, but Xu Damao's father and mother were extremely polite to him.

Just like catching melon seeds...

Almost everyone in the yard, regardless of gender, age or status, from the Xu family got some melon seeds.

That means, let everyone share in the joy.

But, others only have a small handful.

Some children were only given a dozen pills.

When it came to Wang Ping, he just held it with both hands and gave him two big handfuls.

Wang Ping couldn't put all the money in one pocket, so he had to put it in two pockets.

......

Standing next to Wang Ping is Liu Guangfu, the guy who is responsible for setting off firecrackers today.

So, he was using a bamboo pole to hold a string of firecrackers high up.

After lifting the bamboo pole for a while, he was so tired that beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

Wang Ping looked at him with a smile, and said jokingly, "Guangfu, your brother and his friends just left, and they will have to wait a while before they come back!

If you hold it up now, how long will it take for you to hold it up?

Hurry up and put the bamboo pole against the wall for a while.

It won’t be too late to pick it up when they come back.”

"Brother Ping, no!" Liu Guangfu shook his head firmly, "There are too many people gathered here, I'm afraid someone will accidentally break the firecrackers."

"It's okay!..." Wang Ping said with a smile: "Let's move to the side and make some room.

You put the bamboo pole with the firecrackers in the middle. With the two of us protecting it, no one can touch it."

"This..." Liu Guangfu hesitated for a moment. Although he was a little unwilling, he still followed Wang Ping's advice.

After he carefully put away the firecrackers, he let out a long sigh and shook his sore arms.

Then he became nervous and alert.

Whenever someone approaches this side, he will shout loudly, "Hey hey...stay away! There are firecrackers here!..."

Wang Ping looked at his serious and responsible look, smiled and said teasingly: "Guangfu, you really care about this!"

“Brother Ping!...” Liu Guangfu pursed his lips, smiled, and said with a little pride: “Brother Ping, this is what I should do.

Uncle Xu gave me a handful of fruit candies."

Having said this, he lowered his voice again.

"He even secretly gave me a pack of Daqianmen!"

"They are so generous, we can't do anything bad."

"We have to do a good job of setting off firecrackers!"

“Haha!...” Wang Ping smiled, gave Liu Guangfu a thumbs up and praised: “Guangfu, you are great!

Although he is young, he looks a bit like a man from our city.

Remember what your brother said.

If you are reliable in your work and honest in your life, you will never go wrong in your life."

"Ah! ...Brother Ping..." Liu Guangfu nodded heavily, "I remember it."

Then, he looked towards the entrance of the alley and exclaimed "Huh!" in surprise.

"What's wrong, Guangfu?"

"Brother Ping!" Liu Guangfu pointed to the entrance of the alley and said, "Those three people who just entered the alley are not from our alley, nor do they live nearby."

"Hmm!" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment. "Guangfu, how did you know?"

"The three of them are from the steel mill, working in the same workshop as my dad." Liu Guangfu replied, "They have been to our house before."
