That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Early the next morning, Li Ye was indeed pulled out of bed by his grandmother.

When I looked up at my watch, it was not yet half past six.

But my grandfather, grandmother, father and even Han Chunmei have all changed into new clothes and are ready to go.

Yesterday, Teacher Ke told Wu Juying that a big banquet was scheduled for today, and Li Kaijian and his wife would also come and get together.

But it’s too early! No matter what, I have to go there at ten-thirty or eleven.

So Li Ye said lazily: "Grandma, it's too early. We just want to meet and have dinner. Don't be so serious."

Grandma glared and said sternly: "Don't say a word to me today. Do whatever you want. Go and call your sister immediately. Then we will meet at Chaoyang Restaurant. You know that restaurant, right?"

When Li Ye watched this scene, he felt it was a bit like the TV series "Human World" where the Zou family was preparing to welcome their eldest son's high-ranking father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he unconsciously put himself in a low position.

So he felt a little unhappy and immediately yelled at Qu: "I haven't eaten yet! You..."

Wu Juying tapped Li Ye's forehead with one finger: "Eat, eat, eat. You won't starve to death if you don't eat. Save your stomach for lunch!"

Li Ye still wanted to argue, but he saw that his grandfather's eyes were also unkind, and his cheap dad Li Kaijian actually put his hand on the buckle of the belt.

"."

Who can bear the oppression of three mountains at the same time?

Li Ye had no choice but to go out and call his sister and brother-in-law.

And my aunt Li Mingyue, who had heard the commotion a long time ago, also came out and found her father with a smile.

"Dad, what are you doing? Wait for me and Zhixian! Let's just wash our faces."

Li Zhongfa looked at his eldest daughter, who had some faint signs of "cowhide", and could only say coldly: "Mingyue! There are some things I won't say, but you should be able to understand, so don't always be annoying." , If you want to go back today, go back. If you don’t want to go back, just go out and hang out by yourself."

Li Mingyue stared at his father blankly, the grievances in his heart surged as fiercely as an ocean.

She really didn't understand why she was so unpopular now because she made such a small mistake and did not cause any substantial damage to Li Ye.

. . . . . . . . .

Zaojun Temple is not far from Zhongguancun. Li Ye deliberately slowed down and arrived at the door of Li Yue's house just after seven o'clock.

But by this time Li Yue had really gotten up and took a broom to sweep the inside and outside of the courtyard.

Think about the new wives in later generations. Those who don't sleep until eight o'clock are hard-working people. Like my sister Li Yue, they are simply an extinct breed.

Seeing Li Ye coming, Li Yue said in surprise: "Xiaoye, why are you here? I won't come back until tomorrow? Were you drunk yesterday?"

According to Dongshan's rules, the bride's brother had to pick up his sister back home on the third day. Today was only the second day, so Li Yuecai laughed at Li Ye because he was drunk.

Li Ye looked at the broom in Li Yue's hand and said with a slumped face: "Why doesn't the man named Yang get up and sweep the courtyard? Are you pretending to be an uncle?"

Li Yue smiled and said: "No, he went out to buy vegetables. There is a spontaneous vegetable market in the west. The nearby vegetable farmers bring their own vegetables to sell. They are very fresh and cheap. If you go there late, you can only pick out what others have left. That’s it.”

Li Ye calmed down after hearing this.

"You pick out suitable clothes for him. Teacher Ke and Uncle Wen are inviting our family to dinner today and asked you to take him there by name."

"Take Yumin there? Oh, I'll find clothes for him right now."

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly looked for clothes.

Only Li Ye, who often went to Wen's house to have dinner in the past few years, did not take this kind of dinner seriously. Even Li Yue, who ate with Wen Leyu at Zaojun Temple all day long, did not Dare to neglect such a thing.

And when Yang Yumin came back with two net bags of vegetables, Li Yue urged him to take a bath, just like taking a shower and changing clothes.

Only now did Yang Yumin know Wen Leyu's identity, and he had to sigh at how well Li Ye had hidden it.

Many people are very envious of the relationship between Li Ye and Wen Leyu. After all, the two fell in love and went to college, and their relationship was deep and strong. However, many girls with "good conditions" later gave Li Ye hints. , making some people feel sorry for Li Ye.

But now it seems that Li Ye is ruthless and accurate, and he has locked in a crushing wife years in advance.

It was indeed early when everyone arrived at the dinner venue, but Wen Leyu and his brother Wen Guohua were sent by the Wen family to "stop ahead" and arrived earlier than they did.

Now the two sides are more attuned to each other, and they value each other very much!

Wen Guohua invited Li Zhongfa and others to the room to drink tea first, while Wen Leyu walked around Li Yue, sniffing and mysterious like a kitten looking for food.

Li Yue couldn't help laughing and asked: "Xiao Yu, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong with my clothes?"

Wen Leyu slowly shook his head: "I want to see where you have become different."

Li Yue's pretty face suddenly turned red.

She said angrily: "Why are you so anxious? Your child is still early!"

But Wen Leyu's face also turned red. After a long time, he lowered his head and whispered: "It's getting late!"

"."

At around ten o'clock, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng both arrived.

After everyone chatted happily for a while, we got to the main topic of the day.

Originally, Li Ye thought that the Wen family had a dinner together to express their gratitude because their sister got married yesterday and they couldn't be there to congratulate her.

But who would have thought that today's game was saved because of him.

Teacher Ke said with a smile: "In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years since Xiaoyu and I left Qingshui County. However, in the past two years, our relationship has not become estranged, but has become closer."

"It's just that the two children have been chatting by themselves all this time, and we adults have no attitude. This matter doesn't comply with our Dongshan rules, doesn't it?"

"Lao Wen and I also like Li Ye very much, so we thought we would take this opportunity to ask you. What do you think of our Xiaoyu?"

"."

When Teacher Ke said these last words, Li Ye, Li Yue, and Yang Yumin were all shocked.

They really didn't expect that Teacher Ke would take the initiative to mention this matter. This was almost the rhythm of "referring to matchmaking".

It’s not just a few decades later. In many places in Dongshan, “referring to matchmaking” is still a matter of great honor to the man!

But Li Zhongfa, Wu Juying, and even Li Kaijian were not as surprised as Li Ye and Li Yue.

Li Zhongfa said with shame: "Logically, we should 'discuss' this matter, but I think the child is still in school, so our family is neglecting it. You want to ask us how Xiaoyu is? That's okay. Tell me? That’s very good.”

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone laughed, and Wen Qingsheng also smiled and said to Li Zhong: "What's the point of being scornful? Uncle Li, your words sound awkward to me! You need to have a drink later, and we won't talk about it in the future." This kind of nonsense"

Li Zhongfa puffed up his chest and said boldly: "Is one cup enough? Today we talked about the two children. It's a big happy event. I need at least four, five, six or seven cups."

"Say it open" is the first formal process for marriage in some areas of Dongshan. It is similar to the "meeting parents" approval process in other places. It means that both parents support the two children's love.

This is different from free love. The next step is to get engaged, apply for a certificate, and get married based on the date.

And after talking about it, every Dragon Boat Festival, August 15th, and Spring Festival, the man's children will send holiday gifts to the woman's house.

It can be said that once the marriage is "opened up", the marriage of a newlywed couple will be on the right track. Except for extremely rare circumstances, there will basically be no fights between couples.

Li Ye was surprised and happy, while Wen Leyu was happy and shy.

Especially when grandma Wu Juying and Han Chunmei took out two "money-checking" certificates and handed them to her, her little face looked like a peach blossom in March, tender and beautiful, especially beautiful.

You have to accept this money. If you don’t accept it, you are not satisfied with the man’s family situation.

Wu Juying saw Wen Leyu's face flushed with embarrassment and said with a smile: "You see, both children are embarrassed. Why don't you let them go out and play by themselves for a while?"

Li Ye and Wen Leyu stood up and went out.

Li Yue thought about it and wanted to go out. After all, she was also a junior and couldn't speak here.

But Teacher Ke said with a smile: "Xiao Yue, you two can't go out! Who will pour the wine and water when you go out!"

"."

Wen Qingsheng also said to Yang Yumin: "Our unit had a group event yesterday, so we didn't go to your wedding. I owe you for this. I'll make a plan another day and call the boss from your unit. Congratulations and congratulations to you alone.”

"I haven't given you a glass of wine yet, Uncle Wen."

Yang Yumin hurriedly got up and poured the wine. While pouring the wine, he quickly thought about who in his unit had the same surname?

It seems that except for a very high-ranking boss, there is no one named Qi.

Li Ye and Wen Leyu left the private room. The latter's face gradually became less red, but it was definitely redder than usual.

Wen Leyu swung his little shoes and kicked the ground, lowering his head and smiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

But then she heard an irritating remark: "This tradition is also unsatisfactory. You have money, why don't I? It doesn't matter if you have more money or less, but this rule does not respect men."

For a long time in Dongshan, the groom had money to change his mind, but he did not receive any red envelopes.

Wen Leyu stared at Li Ye for a while, then suddenly handed over his two pieces of money: "I'll give you my money, and you'll let me watch it for the rest of my life, okay!"

"."

Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu, whose face turned rosy again, and suddenly said: "Where did you learn this love poem?"

Wen Leyu's small chest bulged in anger: "Whatever I learned, I figured it out myself, okay?"

Regardless of the crowd, Li Ye suddenly hugged Wen Leyu's waist and murmured: "Well, you can think of more articles in the future and I will write them down for when we are old."

"Rom, roll, roll, roll, get out of here!"

roll?

How can it be? It’s not easy to get to this point, it’s time to get out!
