Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 112 Liu Guangqi gets married

This weekend was also Liu Guangqi's wedding day.

Early in the morning, Liu Haizhong came to Li Pingan's house and urged Li Pingan to clean the car and leave early.

Li Pingan was also speechless. He didn't have a penny, but still had so many problems.

Li Pingan drove the car to the door and let Liu Haizhong arrange people to dress up and wash.

He went inside and took a look.

In the backyard, Sha Zhu and his son He Daqing were setting up a stove to prepare a meal. Many people were helping to clean up the house, and it looked quite lively.

At around nine o'clock, Li Ping'an drove Liu Guangqi and four or five other bicycles followed to pick up the bride. Liu Haizhong spent a lot of money this time. These bicycles were borrowed from others.

Liu Guangqi pointed the way in the car and soon arrived at the girl's house.

This is also a small courtyard house. The girl’s family looks pretty good, and it seems to be a cadre family.

Li Ping'an also saw the bride, who was only average looking.

The bride's house was also quite lively, with a large number of people coming to see her off. There was also a bicycle as a dowry, as well as quilts and other things.

The girl's parents felt very proud when they saw Liu Guangqi actually found a car to pick up the bride. They even came to thank Li Ping'an and gave him a pack of Peony cigarettes.

It seems that leaders are good at handling things.

On the way back, Liu Guangqi and his wife sat in Li Ping'an's car. The woman's dowry was placed in the back of the car.

There were several bicycles following behind. There were four or five bicycles for the bride's party, all with people sitting in the back. There were also three or four bicycles on the bride's side, all with people sitting in the front and back. They went together to see the bride off.

As soon as the car arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian started to set off fireworks. Liu Haizhong and his family were also waiting at the gate.

Seeing that their daughter-in-law was finally brought back, Liu Haizhong and his wife smiled like chrysanthemums. A large group of people happily surrounded Liu Guangqi and his wife as they entered the house.

When Li Pingan drove home, Yu Li came up and asked, "Are you really not going to eat at home at noon? Are you going to an uncle's house to eat a big pot meal?"

Lou Xiao'e also said: "Yes, I went to see it, his family had a big pot of stew. That thing, there was everything in the pot. How could it taste good?"

Because only one person from a family could go, Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e both ate at home. Besides, the food at their home was better than the wedding banquet at Liu Haizhong's home.

Li Pingan said helplessly: "I have to go to pay my respects no matter what. If I don't eat, you see those old ladies in our compound will definitely gossip about me. Even if it doesn't taste good, it's better than the food in the factory cafeteria."

Yu Li nodded and said, "Then go ahead. I'll leave some for you at home. If you're not full, come back and eat."

After Li Ping'an settled Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

When he arrived at the backyard, there were already many people there. Li Pingan found Yan Bugui who was registering the gift book. He looked around and saw that most people in the courtyard gave 20 or 30 cents, and the better ones only gave 50 cents.

Yan Bugui looked at Li Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, you are now a deputy section chief, why don't you do more?"

Li Pingan smiled and said, "You are still the second uncle in our hospital. You only have fifty cents. I have more than you. Isn't this exceeding your authority?"

"I have always respected the elderly, so it will never be wrong to learn from you old people. I will also join the Wumao Club."

As he said this, he took out fifty cents and gave it to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui took the money and said, "Ping An, you know that Second Uncle's family is in trouble. How can you compare with me?"

"Second uncle, now that you and your family have reconciled and you have two people earning money, what's the difficulty?"

Yan Bugui said as he registered: "Hey, how could you not know? Xie Cheng's wife eats as much as our whole family. You say that the little money Xie Cheng earns is not enough for them to eat."

Li Pingan believed this. Yan Jiecheng had also mentioned his wife's appetite more than once. That girl could eat seven or eight steamed buns with wild vegetables and grains in one meal. This was because Yan Bugui set the amount and didn't let her eat as much as she wanted. If she dared to eat as much as she wanted, Liang Yuer alone could bankrupt the Yan family.

Thinking of Liang Yuer's eating habits, Li Pingan couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Li Pingan and Yan Bugui chatted here for a while, and when he saw that Liu Haizhong had already arranged seats for people, he also found a seat and sat down.

Today's dish is really a hodgepodge, with cabbage, potatoes, vermicelli, wild vegetables, radishes, etc. all mixed in one pot.

There was still some greasy stuff in it, so I guess it was canned meat from somewhere. One pot for each table.

Then there was a bowl of steamed corn bread with mixed grains and wild vegetables on each table. There were probably more than 20 of them in the bowl, which meant about two for each person.

Many people were drooling over such a meal. When the dishes and steamed bread were served, everyone rushed to eat them.

Li Pingan also took a steamed bun and ate a bite of the food. It's true that He Daqing and Sha Zhu's cooking skills are really good. Even such a meal is delicious. Li Pingan couldn't help but eat two more bites.

Everyone was very quick and finished eating in a short while. The key is that if you are not quicker than others, you will have nothing to eat.

Li Ping'an ate his meal, wiped the corner of his mouth, and went back.

He was afraid that he walked too slowly, so Liu Haizhong asked him to drive the person back.

Liu Guangqi's wedding can be said to be the most lively wedding in Siheyuan in the past two years.

Liu Haizhong also put a lot of effort into saving face for his son.

It can be said that today's wedding was a success.

Liu Haizhong was so happy that he drank too much in the afternoon. He didn't get up at night and went straight to sleep.

Li Pingan returned home, hugged the two little ones and said, "Xiao'e, I think you should stay in the hospital for the next two days. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid that if I go to work and you two women are at home, it will be too late if something happens."

Yu Li on the side also said: "Yes, Xiao'e, you should go to the hospital early. Generally speaking, twins are more likely to be born prematurely. Don't calculate the time. It will be too late."

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go home and talk to him tomorrow. I'll stay in the hospital for a few days. Yu Li, you have to come to the hospital and talk to me. Otherwise, I'll be nervous."

Yu Li smiled and slapped her on the face and said, "Your mother and mother-in-law will be with you by then, why are you so nervous? Are you pestering me?"

"I'm going, and those two little guys are going too. They'll make a fuss and kill you."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and replied, "How could that be? They are my favorite godsons, I won't mind them being noisy."

"Okay, I'll bring them to the hospital to see you. It just so happens that I haven't seen Aunt Lou for a long time. I'll take them to see her then."

After chatting for a while, they decided that Li Ping'an would come back tomorrow afternoon to take Lou Xiao'e back to her parents' home.

After dinner, Lou Xiao'e went home, and Li Ping'an and Yu Li coaxed the two little ones to rest.

At midnight, Li Pingan suddenly heard voices and the sound of moving things outside the door.

He was shocked. Oh my god, is Liu Guangqi really leaving?

Li Pingan decided to go out and take a look. After all, Liu Haizhong would let himself go after Liu Guangqi left. Liu Guangqi was still the only sober person in the Liu family.

After putting on his clothes, Li Ping'an quietly came to the gate.

By this time, Liu Guangqi had finished moving everything. There was a rickshaw parked at the door, with several large bags on it.

The bicycle that came as a dowry today was also pushed by Liu Guangqi's wife.

It seems that they are planning to move everything out.

Li Ping'an's sudden appearance startled Liu Guangqi. Even Liu Guangqi's wife was so frightened that she almost screamed.

When Liu Guangqi saw that it was Li Ping'an, he quickly ran over and said, "Ping'an, why did you come out?"

"Guangqi, what are you doing? Moving in the middle of the night?"

Liu Guangqi secretly looked back and saw that only Li Pingan was there. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ping An, can you just pretend you didn't see anything tonight? I beg you. Don't tell anyone."

"Guangqi, you just got married today, what's going on?"

"Hey, Ping'an, you know my dad. He has beaten Guangtian and Guangfu like enemies since they were young. Do you think I dare to stay in such a family?"

"What will my wife and son think if they see this in the future? I've had enough of staying at home."

"Where are you going? Aren't you afraid your dad will come looking for you?"

"Ping An, I won't hide it from you. I know you are a capable person. You usually don't get involved in the affairs of our hospital."

"My father-in-law is going to be transferred to Shishi City. He will be a deputy division-level cadre there. I will follow him this time. I will also be a deputy section-level cadre there. I will have better development there."

"My father doesn't know about this, I hope you can keep it a secret for me. I'll come back when I have time."

Seeing that Liu Guangqi was determined to leave, Li Pingan did not try to persuade him any further. After all, every family has its own problems, and everyone has the life they want to live.

Watching Liu Guangqi pulling the cart and his wife pushing the cart disappear into the night, Li Pingan sighed and went back.

I don’t know what will happen to Liu Haizhong when the sun rises.

As expected. After dawn, Liu Haizhong's wife was still waiting for her daughter-in-law to make breakfast. After waiting for a long time, she didn't see anyone. She went out to check.

As a result, no one moved in the kitchen, and no one was seen. Liu Haizhong's wife was very angry. This new daughter-in-law is too lazy!

When she arrived at Liu Guangqi's new house, she knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. She pushed the door gently, and it opened.

But it was completely empty. Not only the people, but everything was gone.

Seeing this, an old lady shouted anxiously: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, come out quickly! Something big has happened!"
