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

"Xu Damao, why haven't you come yet? It's already past eleven o'clock, and your home is not far from here."

Liu Guangtian's legs were numb from standing so he sat down on the steps.

"coming......"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Xu Damao also shouted quickly: "Light the fire!"

"Wait, no, it's not the bride! It's Xu Fugui!"

Yan Bugui, who was standing by, hurried to stop him. The match in Liu Guangfu's hand was already lit and almost touched the fuse of the firecracker.

I saw Xu Fugui riding a bicycle with his mother sitting behind him.

The two men arrived at the gate, parked their bicycles, and Xu Fugui straightened his clothes before walking over.

"Are you all ready?"

Xu Fugui seemed a bit like a leader inspecting the work.

"Okay, let's just wait for Bufan and Xiaoran to come back."

Xu Damao subconsciously looked at his clothes and felt that they were not as handsome as his father's.

The Zhongshan suit was obviously ironed, the trousers were straight without any wrinkles, and the leather shoes could even reflect a person's reflection.

"They should be here soon!"

Xu Fugui looked around. There were quite a lot of firecrackers and the word "囍" was big enough. He smiled with satisfaction.

"Lao Xu, you are dressed very formally today."

Yan Bugui looked at the clothes on Xu Fugui and found that they were worth a lot of money. They were different from his own clothes and had faded.

"Of course, marrying off a daughter must be grand."

"Where are Lao Yi and Lao Liu?"

Xu Fugui said this as he walked inside. Of course, he wanted to take a good look around inside today.

I just want to let these people know that marrying off my daughter is glorious enough, and even when I come back, I will return home in glory.

"Why are you here just now? Go in and see if there is anything else you need to prepare."

Liu Haizhong has already come over.

After taking a look at Xu Fugui's clothes, he subconsciously walked away a little. The difference was too obvious.

"Okay, turn around!"

Xu Fugui put his hands behind his back, held his head high and chest puffed out, looking very stylish.

"My dad is..."

Xu Damao also felt it was strange.

"Leave him alone, be funny!"

"I'll go check out their house."

Xu's mother followed him in.

"Ezi is here, everything is ready."

Xu Damao was relieved after giving instructions to Lou Xiaoe.

As time went by, guests gradually arrived.

"The bride hasn't arrived yet?"

Wang Tiejun was also dressed decently today and dressed up.

"Director Wang, why are you here too?"

"Please come in, they should be back soon."

Xu Damao hurried forward.

"Okay, who's going to write the gift? I'll give the red envelope first."

After Wang Tiejun's reminder, everyone remembered that Yan Bugui also hurried back to the table at the door, on which was posted a sign "Remember Etiquette".

"Come on, everyone, line up and take notice."

"Director Wang!"

When Yan Bugui was about to write, he was stopped by Wang Tiejun.

"Write Aunt Wang. I'm representing Yi Bufan's relatives."

"The gift is twenty dollars."

Wang Tiejun really gave it his all today. He had never given out so much in gifts over the years.

Yi Bufan’s call of Aunt Wang was not in vain.

"Okay, Yi Bufan's aunt."

Yan Bugui was also envious when he heard this. This was supporting Yi Bufan, so who would dare to bully him?

"Write it down for me, Liu Neng, five dollars!"

Liu Neng followed up.

"Secretary Liu, you have contributed quite a lot."

Liu Neng looked at Wang Tiejun, then glanced around and said, "I was the first one to receive Yi Bufan and Xu Xiaoran when they came here. I also arranged their jobs and houses. This is what I should do."

In fact.

That was for Wang Tiejun's sake. A lot of things have happened in this courtyard recently, and it is estimated that the current director Liu of the street office will not stay for long. By then, Wang Tiejun will be the director, so he has to curry favor with him a little.

"Okay, Secretary Liu, five dollars."

Yan Bugui then wrote it down.

"Director Liu, on behalf of the Street Office, it's also five yuan. Director Liu is busy now and has no time to come. I'll pay it on your behalf."

Liu Neng said this and gave out another five dollars.

"Write it down for me, too. Thirty dollars."

Xu Damao originally didn’t intend to remember it, after all, he had already helped Yi Bufan a lot.

However, seeing that Yi Bufan, a girl he just casually recognized as Aunt Wang, had given twenty points, it would be inappropriate if he didn't show off.

"Okay, Xu Damao, my brother-in-law will give you thirty yuan."

Yan Bugui was muttering and recording at the same time.

"Write it for me, Wang Sandan, fifty cents."

Now it was the turn of the neighbors in the front yard, and the gift money was much more normal.

In fact, in this era, the normal gift money is about this price.

"Chen Xiaoshan, fifty cents."

"Lin Mingyue, fifty cents."

"..."

"Does anyone remember it? If not, I'll write it down first."

"Yan Bugui, one dollar."

Yan Bugui just looked at the row of fifty-cent notes on it and thought that his one-dollar note was enough.

"Chief Leng, five dollars."

Chief Leng from the Security Department has also arrived.

"Captain Wang, three dollars."

"Chen Er, one dollar."

"Houli, one dollar."

"..."

There were also eight people from the security department, but I recorded more than a dozen of them, all paid one dollar.

Everyone was led by Xu Damao and walked inside.

Later, three people from the supply and marketing cooperative came and each of them paid one dollar.

"Ten bucks for the bangs."

When Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui came out, they remembered the etiquette.

Xu Fugui also saw it and nodded with satisfaction.

Ten dollars is a lot.

"Yi Zhonghai, fifty dollars!"

A sudden voice sounded, making everyone stunned and turned to look over.

He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, which made him look very formal from head to toe. His leather shoes were polished to a shine. His hair was combed. No, not combed, it looked like he had his hair cut. All his hair was cut short, less than one centimeter in length, which made him look much more energetic.

At this moment, an old lady was holding a hair clipper in her hand and grinning, "It seems that I can set up a stall to cut hair in the future. I have bought it for so many years and finally have the opportunity to use it."

In fact, it was because Yi Zhonghai combed his hair several times but was never satisfied, so the old lady took action and just cut his hair short, saving the trouble of combing it.

After looking at the old lady in silence for more than ten seconds, Yi Zhonghai agreed.

Change your mind and be a new person.
