The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 220 You know how to bully me

On Monday morning, it was cloudy and the daytime temperature was more than 20 degrees. This is the most comfortable time of the year.

Lou Xiao'e stood by the street and waited quietly, just to watch the rolling mill team where Li Ming worked.

Last night after the two of them finished their work, they chatted tenderly together, from which she knew the exact travel time for today, but she still deliberately arrived early, for fear of missing it.

She was not disappointed.

This time the rolling mill militia team participated in the training.

Wearing a wicker hat, overalls, a marching quilt, and a 56 rifle!

The neatly lined training team went out, attracting passers-by to look sideways.

At this time, the guns in their hands were not loaded with bullets, so they could only be regarded as bluffing things, and they would not shoot live bullets until they reached their destination.

Lou Xiao'e walked with her for a while before returning home unsatisfied.

Fortunately, she didn't follow all the time. She didn't see the scene of "resting in place, relieved comrades, men left and women right" during the follow-up march.

This scene will definitely surprise her.

On Tuesday evening, Li Ming returned to the small courtyard after the practice.

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "This time I came back dirty, and I finally look like someone who has participated in training."

"It's not because I saw you at the first sight when I came back, otherwise I would wash up and come back."

"I know you miss me. I have prepared hot water and clothes for you."

"What a capable little daughter-in-law."

"Huh? Be honest with me. I'll go to the room to get clothes for you. I bought them yesterday afternoon, washed them and dried them."

"All actions follow your command."

The two walked into the inner courtyard together, greeted Fu Bofu's mother, and he took the water and went directly to the bathroom to take a shower.

The taste was indeed not very good. After exercising for two days in a row, the accommodation arranged yesterday was still in a Datong shop. He directly changed shifts with others to watch the night, and he was praised.

After washing, put on the new clothes that Lou Xiao'e bought for him, and he is a spirited guy again.

After dinner, the two chatted and ate fruit in the East Wing.

Lou Xiaoe asked concerned: "How was the training?"

"Walk for a day, crawled on the ground for a day, fired 3 bullets, and threw 1 grenade. It's gone. The anti-aircraft gun didn't get the turn of our purchasing department, and the machine gun didn't turn. These two things made me It's a pity."

"Who is it arranged to operate?"

"It seems that they are all people from the workshop. I just looked at them from a distance, and I don't know them."

Lou Xiaoe comforted: "You train several times a year, maybe it will be your turn next time."

Li Ming was noncommittal, and then said: "Last night, I had to sleep in the Datong shop. I couldn't stand it, so I reported it in advance and changed to the night shift to stand guard."

"Then you are not very tired, do you want to go to bed earlier at night?"

"To deal with you little white rabbit, I'm sure I can do it."

Fortunately, she was still caring and considerate to comfort this man just now. Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e rushed over in embarrassment, and beat and pinched him fiercely.

When Lou Xiaoe's tickling was about to end, he hugged her tightly, and said softly, "I just like a little white rabbit like you."

Lou Xiaoe pouted and said, "You know how to bully me."

"Because the person I like is you, if I don't bully you, who should I bully?"

Not long after the two got tired of being together, Lou Xiaoe's clothes were disheveled and her eyes were blurred.

Lou Xiao'e grabbed his hand and said, "Come at night. I'll show you the stockings and the pajamas you gave me."

"Ah, why is it getting dark so slowly today!"

"Hehe, I'm going to take a shower, so you can wait until it gets dark by yourself."

In fact, it was already dark.

"I'd better go back to Courtyard No. 95 to see if there is any new fun over there."

"Then I'll see you off first."

Siheyuan front yard.

Wu Ming's wife was washing dishes in the courtyard, and she said pleasantly, "Xiao Ming is back, you didn't come back until you cleaned up."

Li Junyi's wife was also washing the dishes, and praised: "In this courtyard, I have never seen Xiaoming being sloppy."

"Dirty from training, I came back after washing. It's more comfortable to be fresh. Where's Angkor and Junyi?"

Wu Ming's wife replied: "The two of them went to my unit to get some lime, and it will be used in the yard. The task arranged by the third master is probably coming back soon."

"It's only Tuesday and you're busy?"

Li Junyi's wife said: "I started to work on the weekend the day before yesterday, and the three uncles in the courtyard urged everyone to do their best to get things done for the next week in advance."

"It's better to be busy early, so everyone can have a good rest during the National Day."

Wu Ming's wife gossips and asks, "Xiao Ming, have you confirmed the National Day benefits for this year's rolling mill?"

"I heard from my colleagues in Corey that the specific benefits will come out in two days. I already know that the salary will be paid in advance together with the National Day benefits, around the 28th. Let everyone spend the National Day more happily."

Li Junyi's wife said: "It's good to pay wages in advance, and you can buy more things on National Day."

Wu Ming's wife asked curiously: "What is your family planning to buy?"

Li Junyi's wife said helplessly: "There are a lot of people getting married on National Day. Both Junyi and I have colleagues who are getting married. We plan to buy some hot water bottles as gifts."

These days, many people give daily necessities to newlyweds, such as washbasins, kettles, bed sheets, quilt covers, etc. These gifts are enough for them to use for many years, or they can be used as gifts for others.

As for the betrothal gift, there are three or five yuan of meaning, and there are also one hundred and eighty yuan.

Of course, it will not be as nonsense as a high-priced bride price decades later. For ordinary families, a high-priced bride price is a huge debt for the newlyweds!Seriously affect the follow-up life of newlyweds!
In big cities, the woman’s family may require the man to have bicycles, watches, sewing machines, radios and other daily necessities, but these are reserved for the new couple’s daily life.It is human nature for my daughter to feel pain, and it is quite understandable.

Small counties and rural areas dare not raise these demands indiscriminately.

The dowry is also the necessities of life such as bedding, clothes, buckets, boxes, and cabinets.

Li Ming parked his bicycle and did not enter the house. He asked with a smile, "Everyone sends hot water bottles and washbasins. Can the newlyweds use them?" A hot water bottle was criticized for wasting)
Li Junyi's wife stopped what she was doing, and said, "Then I don't know what to give as a gift? How about Xiao Ming, you can help me out with an idea. Your previous tea party saved me money. I used to send my colleagues to other units, candy melon seeds Everyone pays two or three cents for a dinner party, but now it only costs ten cents to eat cold vegetables."

At this time, because of the inflation in the 60s, Sui Li had risen from fifty cents to three five cents.Inflation has been suppressed, but there are only ups and downs, and the amount cannot go down if it goes up.

Thermos bottles cost a few dollars each, which is indeed a more suitable gift. Other good things require tickets, and no one is rich in tickets.

"I don't understand that. Gifts are very important. I'm still young, so I can't grasp it." It's not easy to give random suggestions on gift giving.
