Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

"Crack! Crack!"

When Li Yuan rode his bicycle and carried Lou Xiao'e back to the courtyard, Yan Jiefang, who had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the courtyard, squeezed Yan Jiekuang, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Bang Gang and others aside, and took the lead in lighting the firecrackers with matches.

Suddenly, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose in front of the dilapidated stone steps of the gate.

Some naughty children did not wait for the smoke to clear, so they lowered their heads and carried flying debris to pick up unexploded firecrackers on the ground.

After a while of excitement, Li Yuan took a red cloth bag from the handlebar, grabbed two handfuls of fruit candies, and sprinkled them around, attracting children to grab them.

He heard that some generous people would give red envelopes worth one cent and spread them out in front of the door for children to grab.

But Li Yuan always felt that it was unlucky. He was either stingy, or he felt that throwing money was almost the same thing as throwing coins... so he let it go.

Hey, Banggeng had a bit of a miserable time. He failed to grab the candy and was pushed somersault...

Tsk, the younger generation of Siheyuan are not fuel-efficient lamps. It was they who created the emergence of a generation of thieves from the side...

The adults loudly congratulated "Dr. Li, happy wedding"!

Some good people observed it for a long time and asked: "Didn't you say that the bride's family is rich? Why is there no dowry at all?"

Lou Xiao'e was a little angry and really wanted to scare them with the dowry!

But remembering Li Yuan's advice, she chose to remain silent.

Li Yuan said loudly: "Now the whole country is tightening their belts to engage in construction. As a cadre, how can I be an exception? Although my wife Lou Xiao'e is just an ordinary citizen, she also cares about the construction of the motherland, so she and I discussed it. All betrothal gifts and dowries are entrusted to my father-in-law, Comrade Lou Zhentao, to be donated to the country to support the construction of the great motherland! Long live New China!"

This high-pitched tone not only makes people feel excited, but also makes people who are originally jealous of Li Yuan marrying a rich girl feel more comfortable. The voice of shouting long live the motherland is as thunderous as the excited voice of shouting "big money" in the heart. sensation!

Almost all the residents nearby knew that Li Yuan borrowed 500 yuan to pay the bride price, and now they have donated it all, hey!

Live him two hundred and fifty!

But no one dares to start a random conversation anymore. Recently, there has been a vague saying that Madam Li is good to others and benevolent and righteous, but she can't get too close.

It was easy for him to borrow money because he walked too close. It is said that even the lonely old man and the young widow with a family in No. 95 were borrowed by him.

Although his salary is not low, no matter how high the salary is, he cannot afford to do this!

Careful people have already calculated that for the money Li Yuan owes now, in addition to the money he sends back to his hometown every month, he will have to pay it back for twenty or thirty years.

Who dares to lend him money?

Who dares to get close to him?

Didn’t I hear that even the people in their courtyard began to feel overwhelmed and hid away...

Li Yuan sang a high-pitched tune and pushed Lou Xiao'e in the cart while handing out candies. After Yan Jiecheng called his sister-in-law, he asked Li Yuan: "Brother Yuanzi, did you and your sister-in-law really donate all the gifts and dowry?"

Li Yuanli said confidently: "I donated it, I donated it all! My father-in-law received all the dividends from the steel rolling mill every year, and he donated it all. Except for the apartment, he is almost the same as us. So this time, your sister-in-law and I will also donate it. It was a typical proletarian marriage.

No betrothal gift or dowry is left, it is the union of proletarians and proletarians! "

As he said that, he lowered his voice and said to a group of unmarried young people around him: "You have to publicize more to the outside world to stir up this wave. How much less will it cost you to get married in the future? I'm sacrificing myself to help you guys How many!"

Silly Zhu, Xu Damao and others all had bright eyes, and each of them ensured that the publicity would be in place!

Lou Xiao'e pulled the bag on her arm, feeling a little nervous. If those big yellow croakers fell out now, it would be all over...

"Third aunt, please eat sweets!"

Li Yuan grabbed five candies and gave them to the third aunt, one for each member of her family.

The third aunt said happily: "Oh, thank you, thank you! Yuanzi, you are married. The bride is so handsome!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled sweetly and called out: "Hello, third aunt!"

Li Yuan said: "Third aunt, I went inside. I sent some gifts to each family, and also introduced Xiao'e to recognize her. We will all be neighbors from now on."

"Okay, okay, you go quickly!"

The third aunt agreed repeatedly, but still continued to deliver candies from door to door.

When he was sent to the middle courtyard, he saw Mrs. Jia Zhang's bitch eyes staring at the cloth bag in his hand. He just pretended not to see it and sent candy from Yi Zhonghai's house in the east chamber.

After going around half a circle, we actually went directly to the backyard.

Jia Zhang was so angry that he almost fell on his back, Qin Huairu couldn't help persuading him from the sidelines: "Mom, Mom, don't scold today. Yuanzi just deliberately teased you to make you happy. How could he not?" It’s impossible not to send sweets to our family, as our family didn’t even follow the gifts!”

After Jia Zhang came to her senses, she was trembling with anger and asked from the bottom of her soul: "How could there be such a bad person?!"

Qin Huairu laughed out loud and said, "He is the only one in our courtyard who dares to tease you like this."

Banggeng has been waiting for candy at home, but when he failed to grab it outside, he was pushed by Liu Guangfu.

At this moment, I was waiting for disappointment. After listening to Qin Huairu, I finally understood, and then comforted Jia Zhang: "Grandma, don't worry, Uncle Yuanzi will definitely come back and give us candy!"

He felt that Li Yuan liked him very much and valued him much more than he did those two bastards Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang.

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted and warned Banggeng: "Banggeng, I can tell you, stay away from that person, he is so bad, he will lead you to bad things carefully!"

Banggeng curled his lips and said: "I won't listen to you. Uncle Yuanzi is so awesome. Everyone in our compound obeys him. Shazhu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, who don't like him? Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangtian, What Liu Guangfu and the others are most afraid of is Uncle Yuanzi."

Jia Zhang was puzzled and said, "What are they afraid of him for?"

Banggeng chuckled and said: "As long as Uncle Yuanzi nuzzles in front of the second and third grandfathers, they will not be able to eat and walk around, and they will be beaten half to death! Do you think they are afraid?"

When Jia Zhang thinks about it this way, it really makes sense.

She clicked her tongue and said, "That's why I'm telling you, this guy is so bad. Do you think he's talking to your mother and your mother won't clean you up? Hum."

Qin Huairu lost face and said, "Mom, what are you talking nonsense in front of the child?"

Jia Zhang sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about me?"

Qin Huairu smiled even colder: "You mean I go to Yuanzi's for acupuncture, right? Oh, you don't need to tell me, you just want me to go there in the future, it won't be such a good thing. Mom, if I feel pain again, you I'll take painkillers if I get points. Otherwise, if I don't get enough rest and have a heart attack again, how can I wash clothes, cook, and take care of the kids during the day?"

Jia Zhang was shocked and said, "What do you call this? He did a good job, why did he suddenly stop?"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Now that I have a wife, I don't sleep at night and smell my feet in the house? Even if he is a doctor and has medical ethics, Lou Xiao'e is not willing to do it. What about you? You can even accompany me." I don’t even want to wait. Alas, how will I live in the days to come..."

Mrs. Jia Zhang was also a little panicked for a moment. Just then, Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e came out of the backyard, followed by Li's father and Li's mother. She hurriedly said to Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, you will have to help our Huairu in the future. But you can't just get married and live your own life, and I won't care about you, Sister Qin!"

Lou Xiao'e: "..."

Li Yuan chuckled, tilted his head and said to Jia Dongxu, who was sleeping in the room: "Dongxu, can you take the time to teach your mother how to read and read some books? How many times have the streets called for literacy, and there is only one illiterate person missing from your family. Look at what you said, I feel frightened when I hear it, can you bear it?"

Jia Dongxu said angrily and helplessly: "I let her go. What can I do if she doesn't go? You can bear with it."

After looking at the glamorous Lou Xiao'e next to Li Yuan, who looked like a rich girl, Jia Dongxu no longer even thought about being provoked, suspicious or angry.

Who would leave such a rich and beautiful young lady alone to provoke a rural daughter-in-law who gave birth to two children...

After learning that children had to follow their mother's household registration and were not rationed food, Jia Dongxu regretted marrying a rural girl.

Not to mention, I don't know a single character.

When he worked in a steel rolling mill, he sometimes felt that his co-workers were laughing at him behind his back for being a fool who married a country girl and was dragging down his family.

Qin Huairu looked pretty at first, but to be honest...men, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will be like that after she brings home two children.

After living together, those rough things have completely worn away the good things at the beginning.

And he still admits in his heart that he is not as good as Li Yuan, so he doesn't believe that Li Yuan and Qin Huairu can achieve anything.

Otherwise, Li Yuan wouldn't always make fun of him about this matter.

Qin Huairu glared at the two of them, then stepped forward and smiled at Lou Xiao'e: "My sister is so handsome today!"

Lou Xiao'e glanced at the little daughter-in-law in front of her warily. In terms of appearance, Qin Huairu was not inferior to her, and she seemed to be more feminine...

Coupled with what Jia Zhang said just now, she forced a smile, leaving the defensive look on her face undisguised.

Qin Huairu explained with a helpless smile: "Xiao'e, don't get me wrong. I didn't do a good job during the confinement period when I gave birth to the baby, so I suffered from confinement disease. My family was poor and had no money to treat the disease, so I developed a heart disease, so I just kept it safe." I was so shy that I asked Yuanzi to give me acupuncture at the end.

Yuanzi disliked me very much and refused to treat me alone. At first, he asked his aunt to accompany him. Later, he felt sorry for her hard work, so he asked our Dongxu to accompany him, sitting there and watching him treat me. Needle. Later, I felt sorry for Dongxu's hard work at work, so I asked my mother-in-law to accompany him. My mother-in-law stayed with us for a long time, but it was too hard, so she had no choice but to send my children to follow.

Anyway, he never gave me an injection alone. Not just me, but any younger female patient who comes to see him at home, as long as there is no one around, he will not see her, and it is useless for anyone to intercede. He really loves you, just afraid that you will misunderstand. "

Lou Xiao'e was very pleasantly surprised when she heard this. A big stone fell to her heart. Instead, she felt a little embarrassed and said: "It's not because of me...he is like this."

Li's father came from behind and said, "Lixia in the melon field knows how to avoid taboos, which is also a sign of respect."

Yan Bugui was bragging to others: "Listen, listen! People who have read books speak differently. Although Yuanzi's father is from the countryside, he has also read books for several years, and his words are different. Come and have a level!"

Silly Zhu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, he is capable. First of all, his level is higher than yours, Third Uncle!"

Yan Bugui: "..."

Your uncle's! It's your father who ran away with the widow!

Li Yuan nodded to his father and said, "I know, and I will do the same in the future."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Yuan who was wearing new clothes. He was really radiant. Jia Dongxu was pretty good-looking, but compared with Li Yuan... forget it, there was no comparison at all.

She looked at it for a while, then came to her senses, and said with a hopeful smile: "It would be great if our Banggeng could be like Uncle Yuanzi in the future, and marry a wife like Aunt Xiao'e, then I would be content for the rest of my life. gone."

Even Jia Dongxu liked this!

Lou Xiao'e smiled sheepishly and said, "Then let Banggeng go to medical school and become a doctor in the future."

Bangge looked at Li Yuan with admiration and said, "Uncle Yuanzi, can I learn to be a doctor from you?"

Li Yuan said grandly, "Why not? Traditional Chinese medicine, that's all. It pays attention to the four diagnosis methods of inspection, hearing, asking, cutting, and ginseng. I'll teach you the Chinese character reading formula first. Banggeng, listen carefully. This Chinese character character formula is: Spring In summer, autumn, winter and long summer, green, red, white, black and yellow are appropriate. The left liver and right lung are shaped like cheeks, the heart, forehead, kidneys and nose govern the spleen. The five internal organs and five orifices correspond to each other, and the timing of birth, luck, and evil is good. Liver, eyes, heart, tongue, lungs, nose, kidneys, ears The spleen and mouth are mutually exclusive. The color of dryness and luster can be divided into old and new, and the faint yellowish color indicates the healing stage.

Remember? "

Banggeng: "...Uncle Yuanzi, please speak slower!"

Seeing his confused and anxious look, Li Yuan said regretfully: "You can't do this. Learning Chinese medicine also requires talent. Such a simple chant can only be mastered by a talented child. I listened to the master recite it over and over again on the ground. I memorized it on the spot, so I was accepted as a disciple. For you like this... you should just use pliers to tighten the screws with your father."

The residents in the courtyard laughed.

Xu Damao was not particular about it and scolded with a sharp laugh: "A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix. The son of a mouse can make holes. The stick stem is not Yuanzi's species, so naturally he can't learn it. But he can try to learn from Silly Zhu." Cooking... Ouch!"

Silly Zhu raised his leg behind him and kicked him over.

Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and Jia Dongxu also joined in the curse.

Li Yuan touched Banggeng's head and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, doctor is not the only profession. Isn't it more majestic and greater to be a soldier or a scientist? Uncle Wei believes in you, and you will definitely be able to do great things in the future. Now I'm laughing at you. Yes, no one can compare with you in the future."

Bangge held his breath, his frustration and resentment swept away, he looked at Li Yuan and said loudly: "Uncle Yuanzi, are you telling the truth?"

Not to mention that this child is wild at heart. In his excitement, he stopped even calling "you" and directly greeted him with "you".

Don't underestimate this difference. Tutors of children in the capital take this very seriously.

Qin Huairu raised her hand and wanted to hit her, but Jia Dongxu stopped her: "That's almost enough. Why are you hitting your child if you have nothing to do?"

Li Yuan also said happily: "There is no need to fight, BangGeng, come on. You will definitely have great potential in the future!"

Jia and Zhang were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear, but Qin Huairu complained that Li Yuan had nothing to do and was teasing Menzi with her son.

Look at the yard, how many people are looking at it as a joke.

Li Yuan looked at the time and said to Shazhu: "Brother Zhuzhu, it's almost time to start. My master and the others should be arriving soon..."

Just as he was talking, Yan Jiefang ran in panting and said: "Brother Yuanzi, hurry up, my brother said, your master and his family are here, as well as the deputy director of the steel rolling mill and the director of the workers' hospital..."

Li Yuan originally thought that the factory leaders would not come. After all, Nie Yuanchao was the boss of his immediate boss's boss... It was unlikely that he would come, let alone others?

But what surprised him a little was that the person who came turned out to be Li Huaide with the security director Zhou Yunhai, the section chief Ma Changyou, as well as a director and two deputy directors from the staff hospital...

Sun Dazheng was chatting and laughing with Li Huaide, and when he saw Li Yuan coming out to greet him, he hurriedly said: "Yuanzi, Deputy Director Li took the time to come here specifically to attend your wedding banquet."

Li Yuan said cheerfully: "Thank you, Deputy Director Li. I didn't expect you to come. It's such an unexpected surprise."

Li Huaide shook hands and said with a smile: "How can it be called an unexpected surprise? We are originally from the same family, and this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. We have friendship! So, today I am not the deputy director of the factory, and you are not a cadre. Today you I am the groom's official, and I am an elder just like your master and the others! Dean Wang, Director Zhou and the others are also the same, they are not taking care of their duties today!"

This favor is worth a lot of money, just look at the expressions of Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others.

Especially in the bangs, the bangs are almost flowing down.

Before anyone could reach him, he was already bent at the waist, his expression was respectful to the point of piety.

Yan Bugui's eyes flew up, making people worry that he might not slip out after a while...

Seeing Li Huaide's "condescending" friendship, Li Yuan had some idea. I'm afraid there is something wrong with Li Laoer's penis again, otherwise it wouldn't be like this...

Li Yuan kept his face low and said something about the situation. He led Sun Da, Zhao Yehong, Li Huaide and others to sit around the banquet in the central courtyard room.

He also introduced Sun Yueling, who came with him, to He Yuyu, and handed over Sun Jianguo to Yan Jiekuang, Liu Guangfu and other young men.

Before he sat down to talk, Yan Jiefang ran over again panting and said: "Brother Yuanzi, Director Wang and his family are here too!"

Li Yuan had no choice but to apologize to everyone, and then stood up with Lou Xiao'e to greet them at everyone's urging.

The street director is already in his prime, and Song Ting is still the senior deputy bureau of the district security bureau, with comrades all over the forty-nine cities.

Although Li Huaide is half a head higher in rank, he is currently not as well established as the two of them.

"Aunt Wang, Uncle Song, this is my daughter-in-law, Lou Xiao'e. Xiao'e, you know Aunt Wang, this is Uncle Song, Aunt Wang's husband, who works at the District Public Security Bureau."

After Li Yuan finished greetings, he introduced the visitor to Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e is also from a family background, so she is naturally polite and responds appropriately, bowing and smiling: "Hello, Uncle Song and Aunt Wang. Yuanzi has always said that Aunt Wang is his biological aunt, and she has always loved him the most."

Even though she knew this was just a scene, Wang Yamei was still happy. She looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "This monkey is naughty, but he is also worry-free and does not cause trouble. What he does also makes people feel enlightened." After that, he whispered to him again. Li Yuan said: "If you have time tomorrow night, come to my house."

Li Yuan understood that it was probably the daughter-in-law who had hemorrhoids who couldn't bear it anymore. He nodded and said with a smile: "Sure."

…
