Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 283

Blink to the second day.

Before dawn, Li Xiuzhi got up and helped Hu Meilan cut the window grilles and decorate the house.

Xu Lingjun slept with Xu Yiyi until the sun came out.

"Papa, where's Mama?"

Xu Yiyi lay sleepily on Xu Lingjun's body, muttering and asking.

"She went to help grandma, do you still want to sleep?"

Xu Lingjun reached out and rubbed Xu Yiyi's little head, and said softly.

Maybe it was because of the bed, Xu Yiyi struggled most of the night to fall asleep last night, and if it wasn't for the noise coming from outside, she wouldn't have been woken up.

After a while, he didn't hear Xu Yiyi's answer. He looked down and found that Xu Yiyi had fallen asleep. He smiled, and hastily moved lightly, patting her on the back lightly.

"Crack!" With a sound, the door was swung open.

Li Xiuzhi walked in in a hurry, and just about to wake Xu Lingjun to get up, she saw Xu Lingjun booing her.

She pursed her lips into a smile, stretched out her hand to close the door, then walked over and whispered, "Are you still awake?"

"Just woke up and fell asleep again."

Xu Lingjun replied softly.

"Let me watch her! Get up and wash up quickly, my brother and the others are leaving."

Li Xiuzhi urged in a low voice, then stretched out her hand to hug Xu Yiyi and put it aside, and gently covered Xu Yiyi with the quilt.

"Ok!"

Xu Lingjun nodded, turned over and got up, quickly got dressed and went out.

As soon as she walked into the living room, Hu Meilan greeted her with a smile all over her face, and said, "Ling Jun, hurry up and wash up and have some breakfast. I'll be picking someone up soon."

"Ok."

Xu Lingjun nodded in agreement, turned around and went to the yard to wash up.

Originally, he didn't need to go, but Li Jianguo was worried that something might go wrong, so he insisted on going there to pick up the bride, but he had no choice but to agree.

In this era, when many people get married, the groom goes to the other party's home to pick them up. There are not too many rituals at all, let alone the best man and bridesmaid like in the 21st century.

The only thing that can be called a rule is that when the bride gets married, she still has to enter the bridal chamber under the auspices of the elders, and hold a banquet to entertain the guests.

After all, that special period has just ended, and people are used to keeping everything simple.

And, most importantly, save money.

Soon after, at Li Jianguo's urging, Xu Lingjun followed Li Jianguo in a bullock cart and rushed towards Shiba Village.

Along the way, the villagers joked when they saw the big red hydrangea hanging on Li Jianguo's chest.

Li Jianguo was riding a bicycle with a smug face. He kept responding to the folks, and his feet were getting harder and harder, leaving Xu Lingjun behind in a short while.

Seeing Li Jianguo riding faster and faster, Xu Lingjun couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Fortunately, he still remembered how to get there, otherwise he would have to turn around and go back.

More than half an hour later, he drove the ox cart to Luo Xiaofang's house, and before he stopped the car, he heard a noise coming from the house.

He frowned, jumped out of the bullock cart, and ran into the house.

As soon as he reached the door, he found that Li Jianguo was pulling Luo Xiaofang to hide aside, while Luo Hongquan's family was confronting a young man.

"Luo Hongquan, hurry up and pay me back the money, or I will sue you at the police station."

"If you want money or not, you need your life."

"you you."

"What about you, if you are sensible, get out of here quickly, or my fists will not recognize anyone."

"Come on! It's reasonable for you to cheat money!"

"I didn't force you to give this, and didn't I say it? As long as you can come up with 300 yuan, I will marry Xiaofang to you."

"300 yuan! You might as well grab it!"

"Hmph! If you don't have money, don't talk nonsense here, get out of here quickly."

"No, you must give me an explanation today!"

"Are you going?"

Luo Hongquan glared angrily, and threatened with clenched fists.

"Hurry up, or we will be rude to you."

Luo Dawei then shouted loudly.

"You wait for me."

The young man's expression changed, he turned and ran out in a hurry.

Xu Lingjun glanced at the young man who fled in a hurry, walked up to Li Jianguo with a sullen face, and asked, "Are you all right?"

"fine!"

Li Jianguo shook his head with an ugly expression and said.

"Ok!"

Xu Lingjun nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards Luo Hongquan.

"Hey, you're here!"

When Luo Hongquan saw Xu Lingjun approaching, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Are you saying that you want to marry my sister-in-law to the man just now?"

Xu Lingjun asked with a bad face.

"No, no, I said it on purpose to coax him."

Luo Hongquan was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head and explained.

"I don't care what happens between you, you'd better not bring us any trouble, otherwise, I will let you know what regret is."

Xu Lingjun said with a sullen face, word for word.

"No, no, don't worry."

Luo Hong's whole body trembled, and he said with some horror.

"Okay, then hurry up and take out my sister-in-law's dowry, and we will leave after picking up the person."

Xu Lingjun relaxed, nodded and said.

"Okay, Dawei, hurry up and go into the room and take the firecrackers to the door to hang, Erhong, hurry up and dress up Xiaofang, and take out her dowry."

Luo Hongquan didn't dare to delay when he heard the words, and immediately gave orders.

Luo Dawei agreed and quickly ran into the room.

Diao Erhong glanced at Xu Lingjun with some fear, and quickly walked around Xu Lingjun towards Luo Xiaofang.

Luo Xiaofang lowered her head and followed Diao Erhong into the room.

After a while, she changed into a red wedding dress and was pushed out by Diao Erhong.

She sobbed in a low voice and said, "Mom, can you not chase me away?"

Diao Erhong's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "What are you talking about! We didn't drive you away, so don't talk nonsense."

As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Xu Lingjun, fearing that she would anger Xu Lingjun.

"Mom~ woo woo"

Luo Xiaofang burst into tears, and tightly grabbed Diao Erhong's sleeve and refused to let go.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and let go, hurry up, don't harm us at home."

Diao Erhong shouted nervously.

Xu Lingjun looked at this scene, shook his head in his heart, and winked at Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo was slightly taken aback, and hurried forward to grab Luo Xiaofang, and walked towards the door.

"I won't go, I won't go!"

Luo Xiaofang struggled hard and refused to leave.

"Xiaofang, what are you doing? Don't you want to marry me?"

Li Jianguo asked anxiously.

"No, Brother Li, I want to marry you, but I don't want to be without my parents!"

Luo Xiaofang cried loudly.

Li Jianguo was slightly taken aback, and let go of his hand.

Luo Xiaofang hurriedly turned around and hugged Diao Erhong, crying with her head buried.

"What are you doing? Go, go."

Diao Erhong pulled Luo Xiaofang hard, trying to push Luo Xiaofang away.

Xu Lingjun shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and pulled Li Jianguo out.
