Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 287
It didn't take long for the guests to leave.

Xu Lingjun didn't go out to help greet the guests, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Attracted by the delicious food, the guests forgot about the bride's replacement. After all, the bride can't see it, so it's not as important as food.

Li Jinmin and Hu Meilan sent the last relative and friend away, looked at each other, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the process was a bit twists and turns, it finally had a satisfactory result.

And all this is because of their cheap son-in-law Xu Lingjun.

Thinking of this, they hurried into the room, wanting to praise and thank Xu Lingjun.

At this time, Xu Lingjun was eating noodles with Li Xiuzhi and Xu Yiyi in the kitchen.

It is said that the son-in-law and the daughter came to visit their natal family to enjoy the blessings, but the three of them seemed to come to work, and they even ate their meals last.

However, he looked at the smiling wife and cute daughter beside him, and he didn't pay much attention to this little matter.

When a family is together, the most important thing is to be happy, even if you are tired, it doesn't matter.

"Ling Jun, I really troubled you today. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what would happen now!"

Hu Meilan hurried in and said with an embarrassed face.

Li Jinmin followed behind Hu Meilan, although he didn't speak, but there was a look of gratitude on his face.

"Mom, our family doesn't speak two different languages. This is what I should do."

Xu Lingjun said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Hu Meilan smiled and nodded with some relief, then looked at the noodles on the table, turned her head and shouted hastily: "Jianjun, Jianjun, hurry up to the supply and marketing agency to see if there is any meat, and go buy some."

"Hey! Good!"

Li Jianjun agreed in the living room, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and ran outside.

"No, no! Jianjun, come back!"

Xu Lingjun frowned, stood up and shouted hastily.

"It's okay, Jianjun, hurry up!"

Hu Meilan waved her hand, signaling Li Jianjun not to listen to what Xu Lingjun said.

Seeing this, Li Jianjun stopped hesitating, turned his head and rushed out of the yard, and ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative in the village.

Xu Lingjun shook his head helplessly, thinking that even if he bought the meat back, he still had to cook it himself.

"Lingjun, eat some noodles to fill your belly now, and we'll make table dishes to eat later in the evening."

Hu Meilan said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll cook then."

Xu Lingjun was no longer entangled when he heard the words, and nodded very simply and smiled.

"That's daring!"

Hu Meilan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this time, Li Jianguo and Zhao Lifen also came out of the room.

"Brother-in-law, today is really thanks to you! Come, this is for you."

Li Jianguo said gratefully.

As he spoke, he reached out and handed over a red envelope.

"Haha, then I will enjoy your happiness!"

Xu Lingjun grinned, and unceremoniously reached out to take the red envelope.

Generally speaking, when helping someone with a wedding, according to the rules, you have to receive a red envelope.

It doesn't matter if you have more money or less money, the most important thing is to make a good intention.

Since it was a rule, he accepted it very simply.

Zhao Lifen stood next to Li Jianguo, looking at Xu Lingjun curiously.

At first, she just thought that Li Jianguo's brother-in-law had an extraordinary temperament, and then she knew that Xu Lingjun was a teacher from Li Jianguo's mouth, and she was a little stunned.

But when she later learned that Xu Lingjun cooked the delicious food, she couldn't help being a little surprised.

The teacher and the cook are completely different things. If it wasn't for the fact that the food in her mouth can't lie, she couldn't believe it was true.

In addition, she was also very grateful to Xu Lingjun from the bottom of her heart.

If it weren't for Xu Lingjun, she probably wouldn't be able to marry Li Jianguo, let alone pass the banquet so easily.

You know, in the countryside, everyone usually looks up but does not look down, so they pay more attention to face.

If Li Jinmin's family loses face because of her, they will inevitably be made fun of in the village for a long time to come.

At the same time, it will also cause Li Jinmin and Hu Meilan to be more dissatisfied with her.

It can be said that Xu Lingjun is not only her great matchmaker with Li Jianguo, but also her benefactor.

Xu Lingjun noticed Zhao Lifen's fiery eyes and felt a little puzzled.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Lifen, and saw Zhao Lifen showing him a grateful smile.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart.

Indeed, apart from the poor family conditions, Zhao Lifen's other conditions are many times better than that of Luo Xiaofang before.

At least in the future, there will be no troublesome troubles in living a life.

Moreover, with Zhao Lifen's particularly outstanding body condition, there is a high probability that she will be able to help Li Jianguo have more children in the future, and there is no need to worry about the children not having enough food.

There is an old saying that when you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person.

This is also the insight he got from living with Li Xiuzhi for so long.

Judging from Zhao Lifen's performance, for the time being, the word virtuous can still be called.

In any case, it is a very good thing for Li Jianguo to marry a good wife.

After all, he didn't want to worry about Li Jianguo's family affairs in the future.

Not long after, Li Jianjun returned home with the freshly bought meat excitedly.

Then he followed Li Jinmin and Li Jianguo to go fishing by the river at the entrance of the village.

Hu Meilan took Li Xiuzhi and Zhao Lifen to clean up at home.

Xu Lingjun hugged Xu Yiyi and practiced drawing on the table in the living room.

"Papa, do you think I look like this?"

Xu Yiyi handed the drawing paper to Xu Lingjun and asked expectantly.

"Eh, what did you draw?"

Xu Lingjun glanced at it, and suddenly asked with some doubts.

"It's my aunt!"

Xu Yiyi blinked her eyes and said innocently.

Xu Lingjun looked carefully at the drawing paper, and found that apart from the two big circles on the chest, he could still recognize a person.

He nodded with a dumbfounded smile and said, "Well, you look alike."

Especially in the aspect of grasping the key points, he had to admit that Xu Yiyi was very talented.

"Giggle!"

Xu Yiyi smiled excitedly, hurriedly took the drawing paper, and continued to draw.

Soon after, she successfully drew Li Jinmin's family on paper.

But in Xu Lingjun's view, Li Jinmin became a bald monkey, Hu Meilan became a bucket, Li Jianguo became a big man, and Li Jianjun became a thin bamboo pole.

Yes, each has its own characteristics.

After receiving Xu Lingjun's bottomless praise, Xu Yiyi immediately wanted to show the drawing paper to Li Jinmin and the others so that they would praise her too.

Xu Lingjun hurriedly stopped Xu Yiyi and told her to give Li Jinmin and the others the drawing paper as a gift when she got home.

It wasn't because Xu Yiyi's painting was too bad, it was because he was worried that Li Jinmin and the others would laugh at Xu Yiyi, thus destroying Xu Yiyi's enthusiasm for painting.

After all, he mostly educated Xu Yiyi according to the education methods of the 21st century, which would be very different from the education methods of this era.

Li Jinmin and the others couldn't understand what encouragement education is.

For them, educating children is nothing more than sticks, simple and rude, and they will beat them if they don't obey, so they don't think so much.

When Xu Yiyi heard this proposal, her eyes lit up instantly, and she burst out with great enthusiasm for creation. She hurriedly pulled Xu Lingjun to start painting the Qilian Mountain prairie.

While drawing, drawing, she pouted suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Papa, I want to go home! I want to ride a horse!"

Xu Lingjun was slightly taken aback, reached out and rubbed Xu Yiyi's little head, and coaxed softly: "Okay, we'll go home in a few days!"

In a blink of an eye, three days passed!
In the past few days, in order to make Xu Yiyi feel less homesick, Xu Lingjun took Xu Yiyi up and down the mountains and rivers in the village every day, fishing for fish and prawns, having a great time.

With the bait bought in the system store, they can return with a full load every time.

On this day, Li Xiuzhi was busy packing her luggage as soon as she woke up.

"Hey, Xiuzhi, what are you doing?"

Seeing Li Xiuzhi's busy figure, Hu Meilan was slightly taken aback, and asked with some doubts.

"Mom, we're going back today."

Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"Ah! I'm going back now? Why don't you stay longer?"

Hu Meilan widened her eyes and said in surprise.

"It's going to be the Chinese New Year in a few days, so you can't celebrate the New Year here!"

Li Xiuzhi said with a smile.

"Well, you go back this time, and you don't know when you come next time."

Hu Meilan shook her head and said with a sigh.

During this period of time, she has been eating the meals made by Xu Lingjun, which made her worry-free and happy, and she really didn't want Xu Lingjun to go back.

"It's okay, we will come again when we are free later."

Li Xiuzhi smiled and comforted.

"Ok!"

Hu Meilan nodded, then turned around and walked to the door of Li Jianguo's room, shouting, "Jianguo, Jianguo, are you up yet?"

"Hey, Mom, wait a minute."

Li Jianguo heard the voice in the room, and hurriedly stopped the movement of his mouth, and replied loudly.

"You go quickly!"

Zhao Lifen quickly pulled up the quilt to cover the large papaya, and shoved Li Jianguo in shame.

"hey-hey!"

Li Jianguo smirked, got out of bed and put on his clothes.

In the past few days, he has been busy looking for hidden places and secrets, and he is a little bit happy, and he doesn't get up every day until the sun is on his buttocks.

Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of the room is not bad, otherwise he would not have enjoyed himself so much.

Soon, he opened the door and walked out, and asked with a smile, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Your brother-in-law and sister are going back, hurry up and borrow an ox cart from the brigade, and send them to the county seat later."

Hu Meilan explained in a deep voice.

"What? Are you going back now?"

Li Jianguo was a little surprised at once, and suddenly felt very reluctant in his heart.

If it wasn't for Xu Lingjun's arrival, how could he live so comfortably now, maybe the marriage would have been ruined long ago!

Moreover, the meals Xu Lingjun cooked were really delicious.

What's more, these days he either eats meat or fish. He has lived for more than [-] years, and he has never tried to eat so well.

However, no matter how reluctant he is, he still knows that it is impossible to keep Xu Lingjun here forever.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he sighed softly, walked out of the house quickly, and walked to the production team in the village.

Hu Meilan stood there pondering for a while, then quickly turned around and walked to the backyard, shouting: "His dad! Come here, I'll discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

Li Jinmin put down the hoe in his hand, walked out from the middle of the vegetable garden and asked.

"Isn't Xiuzhi and his family planning to go back? I'm thinking about what I can bring home for them?"

Hu Meilan said in a low voice.

"Why did you leave so quickly?"

Li Jinmin frowned and said with some displeasure.

"Oh! Don't you look at what time it is now, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days. Is it possible that they are still here to celebrate the New Year?"

Hu Meilan said a little angrily.

"That's true!"

Li Jinmin nodded and said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he thought about what he could give Xu Lingjun, but after much deliberation, he didn't know what would be suitable.

Moreover, their family still owes money to Xu Lingjun!

"Or, let's give them some hot peppers, hot sauce, etc., and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candy eggs. When the days are better in the future, we will treat them well."

Hu Meilan said with some hesitation.

"Okay, you can go buy it now!"

Li Jinmin frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said.

After all, their family is really struggling now, so there's no need to slap their swollen face to pretend to be fat.

"Well! Then you pick some food and cook a meal to send them off later."

Hu Meilan confessed, and then hurriedly left the house.

Not long after, Xu Lingjun and his family finished breakfast at her mother's house, and took a bullock cart to the county town for a ride.

"Go home! Go home!"

On the way, Xu Yiyi looked very excited and kept cheering.

Although going up the mountain and down the river here is quite fun, it is still not as good as the home where she grew up.

But Li Jianguo was a little silent.

Xu Lingjun's departure woke him up like a basin of cold water, waking him up from his gentleness.

Facing the many pressures in the future, he really couldn't feel happy.

In life, there are not only poems and distant places, but more importantly, daily necessities.

After more than an hour, they arrived at the county railway station.

Xu Lingjun looked at Li Jianguo, who had a dignified expression, and smiled softly: "Brother, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can write to me and tell me that we are a family, so don't be too alienated."

"Well! Be careful on the road, and write a letter when you go back."

Li Jianguo pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, and said with some reluctance.

"Okay, then you go back quickly! We are going into the station."

Xu Lingjun nodded and said.

As he spoke, he took out 100 yuan from his trouser pocket and stuffed it into Li Jianguo's pocket, then he quickly turned around and led Li Xiuzhi and Xu Yiyi into the platform.

"Hey, brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

Li Jianguo took out the money from his pocket and looked at it, then hurriedly chased after him and shouted loudly.

However, he was quickly stopped by the ticket inspector.

"Brother, go back quickly! Go back and live a good life, and we will come to see you when we are free later."

Xu Lingjun waved his hand inside the platform and said loudly.

Li Jianguo tightly held the money in his hand, and a feeling of warmth kept surging in his heart. His eyes were slightly red, and as he watched Xu Lingjun's gradually disappearing figure, he muttered to himself, "Brother-in-law."

　Congratulations to all brothers and sisters for the prosperous year of the tiger, the prosperity of the tiger and the wind, the prosperity of the dragon and the vitality of the tiger, and the prosperity of the tiger and tiger!
