Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

During the lively banquet, the seats were full with guests and friends, there was laughter and joy, and the atmosphere was extremely happy.

But at a table in the central courtyard closest to the hanging flower gate, there was an old man sitting.

She rarely picked up food or ate steamed buns, and her eyes never even stayed on the people sitting at the same table.

He just kept looking at the host's table, and occasionally lowered his head to take a sip of another kind of sauce-colored wine in a jar on the table that had no label or year.

Every time she took a sip, endless memories would appear on her face, and her expression would be moved accordingly.

She drank this wine to get married, drank this wine to celebrate the birth of her child, and now she is tasting it again, but in her old age.

"Aunt, don't just drink, eat some food! Today is the big day for the Li family. Eat more food so that you can enjoy the wine. Otherwise, you will feel uncomfortable with an empty stomach!"

The old man smiled, nodded, picked up his chopsticks and picked up the only few pickles on the table for seasoning.

Her behavior had long puzzled the people at the same table, so someone asked, "Aunt, there is such a rich table of food, why do you only eat these pickles? If it were any other day, we would definitely treasure those delicious pickles, but today is a big wedding for the Li family, you see, this table of food is made by the Song family's chef! There are ingredients of Tan family cuisine! Hey, look at this lion's head, you can't eat it normally! You should eat more meat!"

"Well, you guys eat, you guys eat! Don't bother me!" The old man nodded with a smile, and gestured to the surprised people at the same table with a smile.

"Aunt, I see you are quite generous. There weren't many female comrades who drank alcohol in the past! Can I pour you some Wuliangye on the table? This is a very high-end wine! We may not even be able to drink it during the Chinese New Year. Look how generous the host is. Today, all the wine is Wuliangye!"

The old man smiled and shook his head, holding his wine glass, and asked with a smile: "If I guess correctly, this wine is brewed by the host himself, right?"

"Hey, you guessed it right! This wine was brewed by Master He from the Central Courtyard when Qiu Ju first came to the courtyard a month ago. I heard that this grain wine contains not only Chinese medicinal herbs such as tangerine peel, rock sugar, and wolfberry, but last year's osmanthus is the main ingredient! I bought a lot of it at the pharmacy! It smells so good! But..."

The old man smiled and said, "It's just that the fragrant wine that you can drink on ordinary days, when it comes to this wedding banquet, it is compared with Wuliangye, so no one will choose it, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The man smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, saying, "The wine is good, but it doesn't hold up the occasion. However, the host is thoughtful, and it's good for those who are not used to strong liquor to drink this wine!"

"Of course, this osmanthus wine is the real good wine!" The old man swirled the cup, took a sip, and felt deeply moved.

Look, she doesn't drink Wuliangye, she only drinks Osmanthus wine.

When eating, he doesn't eat big fish or meat, but only pickles on the table.

The man beside him was puzzled again, and hurriedly exchanged a plate of green onion tofu for another one, and said with concern: "Auntie, if you don't like meat, this tofu is not bad. The cooking skills of the Song family's chef are impeccable, and he can make tofu taste like delicacies from the mountains and the sea!"

The old man glanced at him in surprise and asked, "Thank you. I just heard you say that you are from this courtyard? What's your name?"

The man quickly stood up and replied, "My surname is Xu, and my name is Damao! I live in the backyard with Li Xiangnan, and he treats me very well!"

"Oh, Xiao Xu, thank you!" The old man nodded with a smile, as if he remembered the name.

"Aunt, you really don't want to eat?" Seeing that she still didn't move her chopsticks and only picked up a few small spicy and sour edamame, Xu Damao scratched his head and sighed. He guessed that this aunt was probably used to being frugal and was not used to eating big fish and meat, so he didn't try to persuade her anymore. He just sat down with a sullen look on his face.

After all, it was Li Xiangnan's wedding, and it was a pity that these delicious food and wine could not be shared with those who came to congratulate him.

"Li Xiangnan lives in the backyard. How do the neighbors treat him?" the old man asked, putting down his chopsticks.

"I can't say he's OK, I can only say he's quite good! Doctor Li has great medical skills. We usually go to him for help when we have a cold, a fever, or any other minor illness. Last time, little Chen in the front yard fell down and a chopstick got stuck in his brain, and it was he who pulled it out! Doctor Li is very popular in our yard!" Xu Damao replied quickly.

"Oh, so that's it!" The old man nodded slightly, as if digesting these words. After two minutes, he asked again: "What about the wife that Li Xiangnan married today?"

"Hey, auntie, you've got the point! Doctor Li's wife is really amazing! Not only is she good at her job, she's also a police officer in our city bureau! She's also a very nice person, very upright. Although we don't meet her often, every time she comes to the yard, she smiles at everyone and doesn't put on airs at all! She speaks softly and has a good temper. You can tell at a glance that she's a good comrade to live with!"

The old man smiled and nodded, looking at the newlyweds who were about to toast to the nearby table, his eyes seemed to be unable to see enough, never enough!

"Oh, by the way, Auntie, I haven't asked you just now, what kind of relative are you to Li Xiangnan? Or are you a leader in his hospital? I see that you have a very good temperament, and you are obviously not an ordinary person!"

Xu Damao raised his glass, lowered it low, and said respectfully: "Let me toast you a glass of wine first!"

The old man smiled and drank the wine in the glass, "It's an old friend!"

"Old friend?"

Xu Damao murmured, feeling really confused by this inexplicable name!

Li Xiangnan is not that old, how could he have old friends?

How old do you have to be to make good friends?

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Xu Damao asked again: "How many years have you not seen Dr. Li?"

"what……"

The old man exclaimed slightly, as if he was stumped by his question, and then he recalled it for a while, shook his head, and sneered: "It's been many years..."

Xu Damao nodded, not caring about it, and said with a smile: "If Dr. Li knew you were here today, he would definitely be very happy!"

"Yes, he will definitely be happy! His whole family will be happy!"

"Hey, here he comes, Doctor Li is here to toast us!" Xu Damao nodded and looked sideways. Li Xiangnan and Qin Ruobai, and their spouses, were led by Liu Zhiyuan to the front table to toast, and were about to come over.

He immediately became excited, and seeing that Li Xiangnan had turned around to face him, he hurriedly shouted, "Doctor Li, Doctor Li, your old friend is here... Huh?"

As Xu Damao said this, he was about to reach out and point to the old man's location so that Li Xiangnan could rejoice, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, there was no one beside him.

"Brother Damao, what are you saying?" Li Xiangnan held up his wine glass with some surprise and confusion.

"There was an old man... who said he was your old friend... who only drank wine and ate snacks... and was sitting here just now..." He scratched his head and looked around, then looked towards the Chuihua Gate, and said awkwardly, "This is really strange, could he just leave like that?"

"Congratulations! Doctor Li!"

At this time, the people at the same table congratulated Li Xiangnan one after another. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful, and Xu Damao's doubts were instantly dispelled.

Li Xiangnan drank some wine, turned his head and looked around, and indeed found an empty seat next to Xu Damao.

He took two steps over and found that the chopsticks on the table were arranged very carefully, side by side on the plate, parallel to the bowl, with a porcelain cup half filled with wine next to it.

This rule is exactly the same as that in my own home.

Boom!

Li Xiangnan's scalp suddenly exploded.

He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door, and a figure passed by him in an instant.

Grandpa Li Dequan stood in front of the hanging flower gate in a panic.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiangnan's heart trembled, and a guess almost made his hair stand on end.

"Grandson, I seem to... I seem to see your grandmother. I see... I see Huanying..."

"???"
