The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 235, Liu Guangqi gets married
Time flies, and a few days passed quickly.

The imperial capital in November has entered winter at this time, and the weather is gradually getting colder.

In the imperial capital in winter, the weather is extremely dry and cold. Even in a courtyard house, there will always be a few wisps of cold air sneaking in through the cracks, freezing people to death.

On the weekend morning, the cold wind blew. Although the weather was very cold, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the residents in the hospital.

At this time, the residents in the courtyard had already woken up early one after another, and even the dolls who usually like to sleep late also got out of the warm bed.

Because there was a happy event in the courtyard today, Liu Guangqi, the boss of the Liu family in the backyard, got married, and he had to pick up his relatives after nine o'clock, so the residents who received the notice got up early.

The residents who got up now, under the leadership of several uncles and aunts, began to help clean up the whole courtyard, sweeping the floor, and pasting red papers. They were very busy.

The dolls in the courtyard were also very happy, running around in groups, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

The second uncle's family got up even earlier, and the three brothers of the Liu family were kicked out before dawn.

With the help of the second aunt, Liu Guangqi, the eldest of the Liu family, started to pack his clothes. Today, he received the marriage, but he could not be sloppy. The second aunt bought him brand new equipment from head to toe.

Wearing a brand new blue cotton-padded jacket, black leather shoes on the feet, a winter hat on the head, and a big red flower on the chest, which was stretched out in a decent way.

The two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also had no time to relax. When they got up, they helped Liu Guangqi clean up the wedding room, sweeping the floor and cleaning the table. They were busy all the time.

After Liu Guangqi tidied up his clothes, the second uncle Liu Haizhong checked the time, and it was almost time, so he led Liu Guangqi straight to the front yard.

Walking to Li Weiguo in the west wing of the front yard, the second uncle knocked on the door loudly.

"Weiguo, are you at home?"

"Here, the door is open, come in."

In the room, Li Weiguo was burning steamed buns at the stove, when he heard the sound, he responded.

The second uncle and the groom's official Liu Guangqi pushed the door open and entered.

"Yo, Weiguo, where are you steaming buns?" The second uncle greeted with a smile as soon as he entered the door.

"Yes, Second Uncle, are you ready to go this early?" Li Weiguo asked with a smile.

The second uncle said with a cheerful smile: "Yes, I'm ready. I made an appointment yesterday to pick up the in-laws. I guess the in-laws are already waiting." Bao Dazhuan handed over one as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get you the car keys."

Li Weiguo took the cigarette casually, expressed his joy, and without further ado, got up and went to find him the car keys, and at the same time went to the middle courtyard to help them borrow Yushui's car.

Yesterday, Liu Haizhong said hello to him in advance, and Li Weiguo didn't care if he wanted to borrow a bicycle to pick up his bride. Although he didn't think much of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, marriage is a great event, so there is nothing to be stingy about.

Now that industrial vouchers are not issued, bicycles are rare, and there are not many bicycles in Nanluoguxiang, so it doesn’t matter. It’s not easy to borrow a bicycle. If there are any important things in the neighborhood committee, I often come to borrow a bicycle with Li Weiguo.

But when the industrial certificate comes out at the end of 61 next year, bicycles will not be a rare thing. Ordinary workers can afford to buy a year's worth of industrial certificates, so Li Weiguo doesn't care too much, and handed over the keys to the two cars. I gave it to Liu Guangqi and asked them to push the cart by themselves.

"Hey, thank you, Chief Li, thank you."

"Thank you, Wei Guo."

"No, go pick up the kiss."

Liu Guangqi and Liu Haizhong thanked each other cheerfully, got the keys, and didn't wait any longer. After saying hello, they pushed the two cars away happily.

Pushing the car out of the gate of the courtyard, Liu Haizhong called the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and asked them to follow Liu Guangqi to pick up the bride. Then he helped the two cars hang big red flowers, and helped Liu Guangqi tidy up his clothes. Presentable and full of ceremony.

Because Liu Haizhong's contacts are limited this time, the old Liu's family only borrowed two bicycles, and only the three brothers Liu Guangqi went to pick up the relatives. Although the team is a bit small, it is acceptable to have two bicycles to support the appearance. shabby.

After tidying up, Liu Haizhong stuffed a catty of candy and five bags of large-scale production into Liu Guangqi's carry-on bag, and after a few more instructions, he sent the three of them off.

The process of picking up a daughter-in-law these days is very simple, there are not so many vulgar tricks and making things difficult, and you can take your daughter-in-law home after you arrive at the old man's house to say hello and give you sweets.

In addition, the woman is a family of workers in a rolling mill, and they live very close, in Shajing Hutong next door, so the three Liu Guangqi brothers received the bride smoothly.

The bride doesn’t have many things, just a burden, which contains personal clothes, and the other dowry is a brand new quilt, two kettles, two sets of washing utensils, and some miscellaneous odds and ends. Follow along to help Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu easily put everything on the list.

Compared with the simple dowry from the woman's family, the old Liu family spent a lot of money to buy Liu Guangqi's wedding this time.

A Shanghai brand semi-steel shockproof watch is 90 yuan, and a Haiyan brand radio is 210 yuan. The two large items alone cost [-] yuan.

In addition, there are two special tickets, which Liu Haizhong does not have, both of which were obtained at a large price through co-workers.

Liu Haizhong and his wife also really felt sorry for their boss. They not only bought two big pieces for Liu Guangqi, but also bought a brand new 36 legs for Liu Guangqi's new house: bed, three-door chest, chest of drawers, dressing table, sofa, four stool.

Inside and outside, Liu Haizhong spent almost 350 yuan for this wedding, and the tickets that he had saved for almost a year are not extravagant.

After about half an hour, Yan Jiekuang, who was in charge of letting the wind out at the door, and a group of dolls, including Bang Geng, shouted.

"Oh the bride is here."

The voice fell, followed by a burst of firecrackers.

The neighbors who were waiting in the yard heard the news, and all of them flocked to the gate, ready to see the bride.

Li Weiguo, Shazhu, Yan Xiecheng and other young people were also curious, and they all gathered behind the crowd to watch the excitement.

Not long after, Liu Guangqi slowly rode over from a distance with his bride on his back, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu followed behind with their dowry on their clumsy, rain-ridden Phoenix [-].

The bride wore two braids, and was wearing a brand new red floral padded jacket with a big red flower on her chest. Her appearance was average, and she estimated to have a score of 70.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard and parked the car, Liu Guangqi led the bride and introduced the residents of the courtyard cheerfully to the bride, how to call the uncle, and how to call the aunt, and then distributed wedding candies one by one.

It's not much, and it's a good idea to give each person two hard candies.

Originally, the second uncle wanted to make a big fuss and hold two tables of wedding banquets to have fun.

It's a pity that his ability is limited, and he is now in a difficult period. Even if he has the money and thought, he doesn't have the means to get supplies, so the wedding banquet will be nothing, and it will be fine if he distributes a few wedding candies. Neighbors were disappointed.

After distributing wedding candies and accepting congratulations from neighbors, Liu Guangqi led the bride straight to the wedding room in the backyard, where the wedding ceremony officially began.

The next step is to go through the process. The elder will act as the master of ceremonies. After saying a few festive words, he will take out the marriage certificate of the young couple and read it out in public, announcing the establishment of the marriage relationship.

Then, the whole backyard burst into warm applause.

After the applause subsided, the wedding was considered to be over. The neighbors who had eaten the wedding candy and watched the excitement all left one after another, returning to their homes, leaving space for the two newcomers.

Coming out of Liu's house in the backyard, Silly Zhu, who was watching the excitement, saw Xu Damao, who was full of loneliness and frustration, in the crowd at a glance.

Now Sha Zhu was excited again, he caught Xu Damao and started teasing him.

"Da Mao, look, look, Liu Guangqi is married two years younger than you, and you are still an old bachelor, you have to hurry up and work hard."

It's okay if Sha Zhu didn't say this, but when he said it, Xu Damao became furious on the spot.

Not to mention disturbing his blind date, but also being eccentric, how can I bear it.

"Silly Zhu, you bastard, if you hadn't disturbed my blind date, I would have married me a long time ago, and you still have the face to say, I'm never done with you!"

"What are you saying? Why was it that I was the one who interfered with your blind date? I asked you to pursue it. If you didn't pursue it yourself, how could you rely on me?"

"You are not beautiful, just wait for me!"

Xu Damao really saw that he was shameless, but now he had nothing to do with him, and he simply didn't bother to argue with him, so he turned around and left with a harsh word.
