A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 73

"Crackling! Crackling!"

When Li Yuan drove Lou Xiao'e back to the courtyard, Yan Jiefang, who had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the courtyard, pushed away Yan Jiekuang, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Bang Geng and others, and took the lead in lighting the firecrackers with matches.

All of a sudden, a puff of gunpowder smoke rose in front of the stone steps of the dilapidated gate.

Some mischievous urchins bowed their heads against the flying debris to pick up unexploded firecrackers before the gunpowder smoke cleared, grinning their teeth without fear of pain when they were blown up.

After being lively for a while, Li Yuan took down a red cloth bag from the handlebar, grabbed two handfuls of fruit candy from it, and sprinkled it around, immediately attracting children's looting.

He heard that a generous family took a penny red envelope and spread it in front of the door for children to grab it.

But Li Yuan always felt that it was not auspicious. He was either stingy, or he felt that throwing money and throwing coins had the same meaning...so forget it.

Hey, the stick is a bit miserable, I didn't grab the candy, and I was pushed somersault...

Tsk, the younger generation in the Siheyuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is they who have created a generation of robbers from the side...

The adults loudly congratulated "Dr. Li's happy wedding"!
There are also good people who have observed for a long time and asked: "Didn't it mean 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 for construction. As a cadre, how can I be an exception? Although my wife Lou Xiao'e is just an ordinary person, she also cares about the construction of the motherland, so she discussed with me and put All the betrothal gifts and dowry are entrusted to my father-in-law Comrade Lou Zhentao to donate them all to the country to support the construction of the great motherland! New China, long live!"

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

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

Live him two hundred and fifty!
However, no one dared to pick on each other indiscriminately anymore. Recently, there was a faint saying that Mrs. Li is good to others, and benevolence and righteousness are benevolent and righteous, but they should not get too close.

Because he walked too close, it was easy for him to borrow money. It is said that he even borrowed the money of the lonely old man and the young widow with their families in No. 95 yard.

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

Those who are interested have already calculated that for the money Li Yuan owes now, in addition to the money sent back to his hometown every month, he will have to pay it back for 30 to [-] 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 couldn't stand it anymore, so they hid away...

Li Yuan sang high-pitched, pushed the cart and led Lou Xiao'e in while distributing candies. After Yan Jiecheng called his sister-in-law, he asked Li Yuan, "Brother Yuanzi, did you and your sister-in-law really donate the betrothal gift and dowry?"

Li Yuan said bluntly: "I donated it, I donated it all! My father-in-law donates so much money from the steel rolling mill every year, and he donated it all. Except for the apartment, he is actually similar to us. So, this time, your sister-in-law and I will also donate it." It was a typical proletarian marriage.

No bride price, no dowry, is the combination of the proletarian and the proletarian! "

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!"

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

Lou Xiaoe tugged at the bag on her arm, feeling a little nervous, if those big yellow croakers fell out now, it would be over...

"Third Mom, you eat candy!"

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

The third mother 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, three moms!"

Li Yuandao: "Third Mom, I went inside. I sent each family around, and I also took Xiao'e to recognize the door. From now on, we will all be neighbors."

"Okay, okay, go!"

The three mothers agreed repeatedly, but even so, they still sent candy from door to door together.

When it was delivered to the middle courtyard, seeing Jia Zhang's pair of bitches staring at the cloth bag in his hand, he pretended not to see it, and first delivered the candy from Yi Zhonghai's house in the east wing.

After going around half a circle, I 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 candy to our family, and our family’s gifts are not included!”

After Jiazhang came to his senses, he trembled with anger, and asked from his soul: "How can there be such a bad person?!"

Qin Huairu gave a loud voice to Le, and said: "Our courtyard, he is the only one who dares to tease you like this."

Stick stick has been waiting for candy at home, but he failed to snatch it outside, and 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 very much, much more than those bastards Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang.

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted, and warned the stick: "Bang, let me tell you, stay away from that person, he is really broken, carefully lead you to break!"

Stick curled his lips and said: "I don't listen to you. Uncle Yuanzi is so powerful. Everyone in our compound obeys him. Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, who doesn'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?"

Stick stick laughed and said: "As long as Uncle Yuanzi pouts in front of the second and third grandpas, they won't be able to eat and walk around, and they will definitely be beaten 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 told you that this man is so bad. Do you think he's talking to your mother and your mother won't take care of you? Humph."

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

Jia Zhang said with a sneer, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qin Huairu's smile became colder: "You mean I'll go to Yuanzi's for acupuncture? Oh, you don't need to tell me, you just want me to go in the future, it's no good. Mom, if I hurt again, you I will order painkillers. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest well, and I will have a heart attack again. How can I wash clothes, cook and take care of the children during the day?”

Jia Zhang was taken aback, and said, "What is this called? He did a good job, why did he stop doing it all of a sudden?"

Qin Huairu said unhappily: "Now that he is married, he doesn't sleep at night and smells his feet in the house? Even if he is a doctor and has medical ethics, but Lou Xiao'e is still unwilling, would you like it? You will even accompany me I don’t even want to wait. Sigh, how will I live in the days to come..."

Jiazhang was also a little flustered for a while, when Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e came out from the backyard, along with Li's father and Li's mother, she hurriedly said to Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, you have to help Huairu in the future, You can't get married and just live your own life, don't care about you, Sister Qin!"

Lou Xiaoe: "..."

Li Yuan chuckled, tilted his head and said to Jia Dongxu, who was cats in the room: "Dongxu, can you take the time to teach your mother to read and write? How many times have the streets called for literacy, and only your family has missed a big illiterate. Look at what I said, I feel terrified when I hear it, can you bear it?"

Jia Dongxu was angry but said helplessly: "I let her go, what can I do if she doesn't go? Just bear with it."

Looking at the glamorous and beautiful Lou Xiao'e beside Li Yuan, who looks like a rich lady, Jia Dongxu didn't even think about being provocative, suspicious and angry.

Who would let such a rich and beautiful girl with yellow flowers not hurt, and come to provoke a rural daughter-in-law who gave birth to two children...

Jia Dongxu regretted marrying a rural girl after he knew that the birth of a child followed the mother's household registration and there was no rationed food.

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

Working in a rolling mill, I sometimes felt that his fellow workers were laughing at him behind his back as a fool who married a rural woman and was a drag on his family.

Qin Huairu was really pretty when she looked pretty at the beginning, but to be honest... a man, no matter how beautiful a woman is married back home, even after giving birth to two children, it's just like that.

After living together, those rough and flaws also wiped out 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 have anything.

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

Qin Huairu glared at the two of them, then stepped forward and smiled at Lou Xiaoe: "Sister is so handsome today!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at the little daughter-in-law in front of her vigilantly. In terms of appearance, Qin Huairu could not lose to her, she seemed to be more feminine...

Coupled with what Jia Zhang said just now, she forced a smile, so that the defensive look on her face was not concealed at all.

Qin Huairu explained with a helpless smile: "Xiao'e, don't misunderstand me. I didn't have a good confinement when I gave birth, and I suffered from confinement disease. The family is poor and has no money for medical treatment, and I have a heart attack. At night, Yanpi asked Yuanzi to give me a needle at the end.

Yuanzi disliked me very much, and refused to treat me alone. At first, he let the aunt accompany me, but later he felt sorry for the hard work of the aunt, so he took Dongxu from our family to accompany him, and sat there watching him treat me. Acupuncture.Later, I felt sorry for Dongxu working too hard, so I replaced it with my mother-in-law.My mother-in-law stayed with me for a long time, and it was too hard, so I had to send my children to follow.

Anyway, he never gave me an injection alone.Not only me, but any younger female patients who come to see him at home, as long as they are not with anyone, he will not look at them, and it is useless to intercede.He really loves you, just afraid that you will misunderstand. "

Lou Xiaoe was very pleasantly surprised when she heard the words, a big stone fell to the ground in her heart, but she felt a little embarrassed, and said, "It's not because of me...he is like this."

Father Li came over from behind and said after listening, "Li Xia in the melon field knows how to avoid taboos, which is also a kind of respect."

Yan Bugui boasted to others at the side: "Listen, listen! If you don't say that people who have studied speak differently, although Yuanzi's father is from a rural area, he has also studied for several years, and when he speaks Come level up!"

Sha Zhu nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, I have a level, first of all, my level is higher than that of the third master!"

Yan Bugui: "..."

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

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

Qin Huairu looked at Li Yuan in new clothes, he was really radiant, Jia Dongxu was considered pretty, but compared with Li Yuan... Forget it, there is no way to compare.

She looked at it for a while, then came to her senses, smiled expectantly and said: "If only we can be like Uncle Yuanzi in the future, and marry a daughter-in-law like Aunt Xiao'e, I will be satisfied in this life." gone."

Even Jia Dongxu praised this!
Lou Xiao'e said with an embarrassed smile: "Then let Bangjiu go to medical school and become a doctor in the future."

The stick boy looked at Li Yuan adoringly, and said, "Uncle Yuanzi, can I learn to be a doctor from you?"

Li Yuan said grandly, "Why not? Chinese medicine, that's all it is. It pays attention to observation, hearing, questioning, four diagnosis and combination of ginseng. I will teach you the formula of Wangzi first. Listen carefully, the formula of Wangzi is: Spring In summer, autumn, winter and long summer, blue, red, white, black and yellow are suitable. The left liver and right lung are in the shape of cheeks, the heart, forehead, kidney and nose control the spleen. The five internal organs and five orifices correspond to each other. Spleen and mouth push each other. The color is old and new, and faint yellowish is the healing period.

Remember? "

Stick stem: "...Uncle Yuanzi, speak slowly!"

Seeing his confused and anxious face, Li Yuan said regretfully: "You can't do it. Learning Chinese medicine also pays attention to talent. Such a simple formula can be learned by a talented child once. I listened to the teacher read it over and over again on the ground. I memorized it on the spot, that's why I was accepted as a disciple. For people like you...you should use pliers to twist the screws with your father."

The residents in the courtyard all laughed.

Xu Damao was careless, and scolded with a sharp laugh: "The dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes. The stick is not the seed of Yuanzi, so naturally he can't learn it. But he can try to learn from Sha Zhu." Cooking... Ouch!"

Sha Zhu raised his leg behind his back and kicked him over.

Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and Jia Dongxu also cursed together.

Li Yuan touched the stick's head, smiled and said: "Don't be sad, doctor is not the only profession. Being a soldier, being a scientist, isn't it more prestigious and great? Uncle believes in you, and you will definitely be able to do great things in the future. Now I am laughing at you Yes, there will be few who can compare to you in the future."

Sticking his breath, his frustration and resentment were swept away, he looked at Li Yuan and said loudly, "Uncle Yuanzi, is what you said true?"

Otherwise, the child was so wild in his heart that he didn't even call "you" when he was so excited, he just greeted him with "you".

Don't underestimate this difference. In the tutoring of children in the capital, this is very important.

Qin Huairu raised his hand and wanted to beat him up, but Jia Dongxu stopped him: "It's almost done, what are you doing if you have nothing to beat the child?"

Li Yuan also said cheerfully: "There is no need to fight, stick, come on. You will definitely have a great future!"

Jia and Zhang were all happy from ear to ear, but it was Qin Huairu who complained that Li Yuan had nothing to do and made fun of her son.

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

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

Just as he was talking, Yan Jiefang ran in panting and said, "Brother Yuanzi, hurry up, my brother said that your master's family is here, as well as the deputy director of the rolling mill and the director of the worker's hospital..."

Li Yuan originally thought that the factory leader would not come. After all, Nie Yuanchao is the boss of his immediate boss's boss... He is unlikely to come, let alone others?

But what surprised him a little was that it was Li Huaide who came with Zhou Yunhai, the chief of security, Ma Changyou, the chief of the section, as well as a director and two vice directors of the staff hospital...

Sun Da was chatting and laughing with Li Huaide, seeing Li Yuan coming out, he hurriedly said: "Yuanzi, Deputy Factory Director Li specially spared no time to come here to attend your wedding banquet."

Li Yuan said cheerfully: "Thank you, Deputy Director Li, I didn't expect you to come, what a surprise."

Li Huaide shook hands and said with a smile: "How can it be called an unexpected joy? We are originally from the same family, and it is not the first time we have dealt with each other. We have friendship! So, today I am not the deputy factory director, and you are not a cadre. Today you It’s the groom’s official, I’m an elder just like your master! Dean Wang and Director Zhou are the same, they don’t care about their positions today!”

This favor is not small, just look at the expressions of Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others.

Especially in the bangs, the halazi is almost flowing down.

Before the person came to him, he bent down, with a respectful and pious expression.

Yan Bugui's eyeballs flew up, making people worry that he wouldn't sneak out for a while...

Seeing Li Huaide's "condescending" acquaintance, Li Yuan had some idea in his heart. I'm afraid Li's second child has something wrong again, otherwise it wouldn't be like this...

Li Yuan didn't show much on his face, he talked about the scene, and led Sun Da, Zhao Yehong, Li Huaide and others into the middle courtyard and sat down around the mat.

He also introduced Sun Yueling who came with him to He Yushui, and handed Sun Jianguo to Yan Jiekuang, Liu Guangfu and other seniors.

Before he could sit down and talk, Yan Jiefang came running out of breath again, and said, "Brother Yuanzi, Director Wang's family is here too!"

Li Yuan had no choice but to apologize to everyone, and then stood up with Lou Xiao'e to greet everyone under the urging of everyone.

The director of the street is already in office, and Song Ting is still a veteran deputy bureau of the District Public Security Bureau, with comrades all over the Forty-Nine City.

Although Li Huaide is half a head higher in rank, he is still not as deep as these two.

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

Li Yuan finished greeting and introduced the visitor to Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiaoe was also from everyone, so she was naturally polite. She bowed and smiled tactfully and said, "Hello, Uncle Song and Aunt Wang. Yuanzi always said that Aunt Wang is his own aunt and has always loved him the most."

Even knowing that this was a scene, Wang Yamei was also happy. She looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "This monkey is naughty and naughty, but he doesn't worry about causing trouble. What he does is also open to people." Li Yuan said: "If you have time tomorrow night, come to my house."

Li Yuan understood, probably the daughter-in-law who suffered from hemorrhoids couldn't take it anymore, he nodded and smiled and said, "Success."
