Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Dad, Mom, I'm here to pick up Xiao Ran."

Yi Bufan pushed his bicycle into the yard, where there were already quite a few people gathered.

"Why are you here so late? Come in and have something to eat!"

Xu Fugui and his wife also wore new clothes today.

"okay!"

Yi Bufan went to the inner room as soon as he entered the door, which was Xu Xiaoran's room.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Come and eat. My wife is yours and you can't run away!"

Xu Fugui called out, and Yi Bufan felt embarrassed to go over there again, so he turned around and sat back at the table.

"Eat."

"Although you have obtained the marriage certificate in advance, you will not be officially married until today. Don't bully my daughter in the future, or you will be in trouble."

"There are three more turns and one more ring. Make up for it as soon as possible."

"The other thing is..."

It seems that Xu Fugui still has many conditions to discuss.

"Dad, how about we have some more drinks?"

Yi Bufan pointed at the Erguotou on the cabinet.

"You!" Xu Fugui was speechless. Thinking of the last time he got drunk and swore brotherhood with Yi Bufan, he felt impatient: "Hurry up and finish eating and leave. Don't waste time."

Xu Fugui went out after he finished speaking.

Xu's mother smiled and walked over to say, "The etiquette is simple. Just carry Xiao Ran on your back and go out. We will take the tractor directly later."

"Tractor? Isn't it a bicycle?"

Yi Bufan was a little confused, as this matter was all arranged by them.

"How can you pull stuff on a bicycle? Go ahead, just get on the bike and follow the driver."

Xu's mother's words made Yi Bufan curious, but he still went to carry Xu Xiaoran first.

"You look pretty good as a groom."

Xu Xiaoran, who was wearing a red veil, leaned on Yi Bufan's back and spoke softly.

"As long as you want, every day in the future can look better."

Yi Bufan carried Xu Xiaoran on his back and walked outside and saw the tractor behind the crowd.

On top of it was a cabinet, two suitcases, and a sewing machine.

"Mom, is this the tractor?"

Yi Bufan was a little surprised.

"Yes, hurry up and sit on that bench!"

Xu's mother pointed to the bench in front that was covered with red cloth.

"Then these things..."

Although Yi Bufan also thought that it should be for himself, he still asked for confirmation.

"Hurry up and go up, this is the dowry my father bought for you!"

Xu Xiaoran urged Yi Bufan.

"Is this true? Isn't this inappropriate?"

"I don't think I spent a penny!"

Yi Bufan's heart was beating fast.

"What's inappropriate about that? My dad is also trying to save face. Let's go quickly. What if he changes his mind and moves down?"

There was a hint of excitement in Xu Xiaoran's words.

"it is good!"

Yi Bufan stopped being pretentious, put Xu Xiaoran in the car, and jumped in, letting the neighbors around him cheer and applaud.

"What are you showing off for?"

Xu Fugui muttered something but kept a smile on his face, because hearing everyone's compliments on him showed that he was in good health.

As the sound of the tractor "da da da" was heard, a group of people followed the tractor outside.

"Don't follow him out, let's pack up and go over there."

Xu Fugui took a look and called Xu's mother.

"Erya is really getting married."

Mother Xu felt a little melancholy.

"Can't bear to do it? Then go and stop it!"

"I'm not happy yet!"

Xu Fugui put his hands behind his back and stood on tiptoe to watch the tractor driving away.

"I'm not happy with you buying me a sewing machine and a cabinet..."

Even Xu's mother had never seen Xu Fugui so generous.

"Nonsense, my daughter married someone secretly without a matchmaker. It would be so embarrassing if the news got out. I have to marry in a more glamorous way."

"Besides, if I marry into a courtyard house, I can make those old fools look down on me."

"Especially that Yi Zhonghai. He made me suffer a lot in the past few years, and also made Damao get bullied a lot."

"Today I want to show him, an old loser, that I am much better than him. He can only envy me for marrying off my wife and daughter."

"In the future, I will have a say in the courtyard, and he can't manipulate me at will."

Xu Fugui looks set to make a strong comeback.

"Haha, you really are. I thought you really regarded Yi Bufan as your brother."

Xu's mother couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Sometimes men are just so cute, regardless of age.

"Brother, don't mention it. Next time you see me drinking, remember to stop me."

Xu Fugui felt that this would become a laughing stock for his entire life.

......

Today is a big day for the Siheyuan. Neighbors around saw big wedding characters and couplets posted outside the Siheyuan early in the morning.

The children running in and out all changed into new clothes, just like it was Chinese New Year, and were rehearsing how they would grab the wedding candies.

More than a dozen strings of firecrackers were picked out with long poles and hung on the wall, and there were several strings placed at the gate.

"Liu Guangtian, you guys are responsible for these skewers here. Light them up when the bride arrives."

"Wang Buer, you guys too, if you see any movement over here, light it up, don't be lazy!"

"And you..."

Xu Damao wanted his sister to marry in style, and also wanted Yi Bufan to marry in a grand manner.

"Lao Yi, where have you been? It feels like you just went to the Northwest."

Just when Xu Damao finished his explanation, Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai approaching from afar. It seemed that his clothes had rolled down the mountain several times, and he really looked a little dusty.

"Almost. I've been to several villages and towns. Yi Bufan is still not married, right?"

Yi Zhonghai looked up at the scene at the gate and the wedding characters, and finally he got back.

"No, I'm waiting for the bride. In your bag..."

Yan Bugui took a look at Yi Zhonghai's bulging bag and became interested.

"I have something else to do, you guys chat slowly!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't give Yan Bugui a chance to continue speaking and hurried into the gate.
