Courtyard light

Chapter 770 Looks familiar
Li Xuemei woke up from a nap and thought about it. What happened to her yesterday was true, but she still couldn't believe it.

So he hurriedly ate breakfast at home and went to school to finish a day's work. Then he went to find Liu Chengcai after get off work in the afternoon to check again to make sure that what he saw yesterday was true.

The reason why Liu Chengcai wanted to tell Li Xuemei about this matter now was that, on the one hand, Liu Chengcai wanted Liu Hai to be able to attend his wedding.

On the other hand, young people still believe in love, especially in this era.

Of course, most people in that era were still relatively simple and honest, so Liu Chengcai told Li Xuemei about this matter.

"I don't know how to tell my parents." Li Xuemei leaned her head on Liu Chengcai's chest. After they hugged each other yesterday, it felt natural.

"Well...why don't we talk about it after we get married?" Liu Chengcai didn't know what to say.

"Okay, but my mother wants to meet your father." Li Xuemei spoke again, looking up at Liu Chengcai.

Of course Liu Chengcai had to agree. Today, Li Xuemei went home with a red face because the two of them had played soccer.

"What did Chengcai say?" Li Xuemei's mother asked the first thing she asked when she saw her daughter come back.

"They said we will set the date." Li Xuemei said.

"That's nothing. I'll talk to your father when he comes back and we'll meet as soon as possible." Li Xuemei's mother felt relieved to hear this. The other party said this to take care of her time.

The final time was agreed upon for two days later, and the place was also chosen by Li Xuemei's family.

After receiving the news, Liu Hai adjusted his schedule.

The junior sister also wanted to go, so Liu Hai agreed.

On the day of the meeting, Liu Hai and his junior sister were both wearing hand-made custom-made clothes. They didn't look very eye-catching, but they fit them very well. Liu Hai was wearing a Zhongshan suit and his junior sister was wearing a black down jacket.

Of course, I also brought gifts to Li Xuemei's family when we met for the first time.

"Don't you think the gifts we brought are a bit too shabby?" The junior sister looked at the gifts placed on the back seat of the car, which were just a few down jackets.

"That's enough, that's enough. If you bring too many and too good things when you meet someone for the first time, it will give others a bad feeling." Liu Hai and Li Xuemei's family each gave a down jacket.

"Besides, I will be filial to them when I become successful in the future."

"You are such a thoughtful person." The junior sister felt very proud that Liu Hai was so attentive, because this man was both capable and thoughtful.

"Yeah!" Liu Hai nodded.

Liu Chengcai didn't drive the big off-road vehicle that Liu Hai gave him because it was too conspicuous.

The big off-road vehicle that Liu Hai gave was the civilian version of the military off-road vehicle, that is, the Hummer. The civilian version is much more comfortable than the military version.

"Oh, sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." As soon as Liu Hai stopped the car at the entrance of the hotel, he saw Liu Chengcai, Wang Hongmei and several other people waiting nearby. After getting out of the car, Liu Hai went straight to shake hands with a middle-aged man of the same age as him.

Liu Hai knew that Li Xuemei's father worked as a technician in a bearing manufacturing factory, which had been making parts for motorcycle factories.

"You're welcome. You're welcome." Li Xuemei's father Li Jianshe looked at Liu Hai, because Liu Hai looked like he was in his 30s.

"Actually, Lao Li and I are in the same business." After Liu Hai shook hands with Li Jianshe, Lao Li became his relative.

The younger sister followed behind and laughed secretly at her senior brother's excellent interpersonal skills.

"Brother Liu, you are too polite. This is my wife, her last name is Zhang!" When Li Jianshe heard Liu Hai calling him Lao Li, he felt like a colleague calling him that. He immediately relaxed and introduced his wife, who is Li Xuemei's mother.

"Brother Liu looks really young." Li Xuemei's mother Zhang Chunhua knew that Liu Hai's bangs were older than hers and hers, so she said it openly.

"This is my wife, her surname is Zhu." Liu Hai introduced his junior sister to the two of them.

"Oh, Sister Zhu is so pretty." Zhang Chunhua came forward to shake hands with her junior sister when she saw her bangs.

"Uncle, aunt." Li Xuemei was also surprised at how young Liu Hai was. What surprised her even more was that Liu Hai's current lover was so beautiful.

Li Xuemei's younger brother is still a high school student. He is a little shy but also calls her uncle and aunt.

Liu Chengcai had already taken the gift down from the car.

This is a mid-range hotel with a private room.

The four people on Liu Hai's side plus the four people on Li Jianshe's side make exactly eight people.

"I'm sorry for meeting you so late this time. I've brought you some small gifts as a token of my appreciation." After entering the private room, Liu Hai took off his cotton coat because there was heating, and took out the down jacket he had bought.

"You're welcome, Brother Liu." Li Jianshe and others took the handbag and put it aside. This is how the in-laws interact. When they meet for the first time, the man prepares a small gift for the woman.

After the junior sister took off her down jacket, she wore a beige sweater underneath. Wang Hongmei also wore a white sweater underneath her down jacket.

Liu Hai and Li Jianshe were the leaders, and on Liu Hai's side were his junior sister, Wang Hongmei, and Liu Chengcai.

Li Jianshe, Zhang Chunhua, Li Xuemei's younger brother Li Yang, Li Xuemei, and then Li Xuemei and Liu Chengcai were together.

"Actually, Lao Li and I are in the same industry. Our factory is just opposite Lao Li's. I am also a small technician, but the nature of my work is relatively confidential." Liu Hai began to introduce himself.

"Oh, Brother Liu is actually a big shot in the motorcycle factory. I'm so disrespectful." Liu Jianshe was surprised when he heard Liu Hai say this.

There is a phenomenon in Kyoto: from the East Second Ring Road to the airport, there are motorcycle factories all on the right and other factories all on the left.

The bearing factory is just opposite the motorcycle factory.

"You're welcome. I'm just a small technician." Liu Hai quickly said politely.

"I'm not being polite. The motorcycle factory is the cradle of our domestic industrialization. How many technologies have your factory produced? How many standards have you set? There is nothing that your factory cannot produce, whether it flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water." Li Jianshe said.

"This is the result of everyone's hard work. Your bearing factory has developed rapidly in recent years."

"It's all thanks to the technology diffusion of your factory."

At this time, the waiter started serving the dishes.

Li Xuemei looked at Aunt Zhu and felt that she seemed very familiar, but she had never seen her before, so she felt a little confused.

Li Yang, who was standing next to Li Xuemei, was also looking at Aunt Zhu with something in his mind, because he also felt that she looked familiar.

Zhang Chunhua was also a little confused in her heart because she seemed to have seen the girl from the Zhu family.

But no one asked. When the dishes were served, we started eating and chatting, and ordered some wine.

"Brother Liu, what about the banquet?" Li Jianshe asked.

"For various reasons, Chengcai and I were quite distant from each other before. I have already prepared a new house for their wedding. All the furniture is available in it." Liu Hai said.

"Are you ready?" Li Jianshe was a little surprised.

"I've already taken Xuemei to see it." Liu Chengcai said at this time.

Li Xuemei nodded shyly. It was more than a new house. It was a whole building with countless apartments. The decoration inside surprised Li Xuemei so much that she didn't know how to tell her parents. Zhang Chunhua and Li Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief. There were many houses in Kyoto, but there were even more people. It was not easy to get a good house, especially when the houses were divided in the past.

"Thank you, in-laws. I also told them to wait for the school to allocate houses for the young couple." Li Jianshe saw his daughter nod, then picked up the cup and said to Liu Hai.

Zhang Chunhua also raised her glass, and her junior sister and Wang Hongmei also raised their glasses. They all drank some wine, but Liu Chengcai only drank a beverage because he had to drive someone later.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's fate that the two of them can be together. As long as they live well in the future, we, the older generation, will be satisfied." Li Jianshe felt it was a bit strange to say this as he looked at Liu Hai's young appearance.

Li Jianshe is a typical technician, a little bald and looks a little old.

Li Jianshe nodded: "As long as my daughter has seen it, it's fine."

"Why don't we just host our own banquets? I'll go back to my hometown to host the banquet then." Liu Hai didn't take on the responsibility of helping his in-laws host the banquet.

"Okay." Li Jianshe felt relieved when he thought that his daughter would have her own house in the future. The rule of holding a wedding banquet was that everyone should do it separately, and it was reasonable for Liu Hai to go back to the village to hold it.

Then the family discussed and decided that Liu Chengcai and Li Xuemei would hold the wedding at her parents’ home at the end of the month and on New Year’s Day in their hometown.

Since Liu Hai had prepared the furniture for the new house and his daughter had seen it, Liu Jianshe didn't say much about it.

My daughter looks very satisfied with the new house.

"Dad, I'll send Uncle Li and the others off." After finishing his meal, Liu Chengcai greeted Liu Hai.

Bangs nodded.

"Aunt, I'm leaving first." Liu Chengcai greeted Aunt Zhu again.

"Slow down on the road."

"Brother Liu, let's go first."

"Old Li, slow down, guys." The two sides said goodbye.

When Liu Hai saw Liu Chengcai leave, he realized that all three of them had been drinking.

A man got out of a van behind us and asked, "Mr. Liu, do you want to drive?"

"Then thank you for your help." Liu Hai knew the security in the factory and was familiar with his habits.

"Mr. Liu is too polite."

Wang Hongmei was sent to the new house first, and then Liu Hai and his junior sister returned home together.

When Li Jianshe and his family returned home, Zhang Chunhua quickly made the sofa for her son.

Li Yang sighed and said, "After sleeping on the sofa for so many years, I am finally getting my first bed."

"You little rascal, do you dislike me, your sister?" Li Xuemei said as she tried to teach her brother a lesson.

"Xuemei, how big is the new house? Is it one bedroom and one living room, or two bedrooms and one living room? Are the furniture new?" Zhang Chunhua asked while arranging the sofa for her son.

"There are quite a lot of rooms." Li Xuemei felt even more headache when talking about this.

"It's not a big compound, is it?"

"I don't think Brother Liu would live in a courtyard house."

Li Yang asked in confusion: "Why do I feel like Aunt Zhu looks familiar? Where have I seen her before?"

"Hey, son, now that you mention it, it seems like I've seen you somewhere before?" Zhang Chunhua was also very confused when she heard this.

“Maybe we just look closer?” Li Jianshe had the same feeling, but he always felt it was impossible because his social circle was so small.

Li Xuemei was also a little suspicious.

"You get the certificate tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you take me and your dad to see your new house to see if there is anything else to prepare." Zhang Chunhua said. The main reason is that everyone has to work now, and it is not easy to get there during the day.

"Yeah!" Li Xuemei nodded when she heard this. Anyway, it would be fine as long as the two elders saw it then.

"Xuemei's father doesn't know yet." After returning home, the junior sister said with a smile.

Liu Hai knew what his junior sister was talking about, and he chuckled: "That's their business. After I become successful, I will be one family with them anyway."

"It's you, junior sister. You're such a big celebrity, but they didn't even recognize you." Liu Hai chuckled again.

"How can I be considered a famous person? I've only appeared in the news a few times." My junior sister was in the newspapers many times, but the photos in the newspapers were not very clear, and the photos on TV were not very clear either. That was done on purpose.

Only someone with an exceptionally good memory and excellent eyesight can recognize it at a glance.

"All of this is thanks to you." The junior sister spoke again.

"Sister Xiaoyun also said on the phone that she would also attend Chengcai's wedding. If this meeting wasn't so rushed, Sister Xiaoyun would probably have rushed back." The junior sister spoke again.

"Okay, I'll arrange it when the time comes." Liu Hai nodded.

The next day, Liu Hai went to the factory to arrange his work, and then asked for leave from the factory director.

Then he went to the canteen to hire two chefs, and then happily returned to the village.

In the village, Liu Hai means not accepting any gifts. All the villagers, young and old, come together to eat at noon and in the evening.

Liu Hai originally planned to bring tables, chairs and benches to the factory, but the team leader said that it was not necessary. Besides, the meat and other things needed could be bought in the village.

Liu Hai also nodded and arranged to slaughter pigs and sheep one day in advance and come back two days in advance, mainly to see how many people are in the village. As for the construction of the venue, the team leader patted his chest and guaranteed to arrange it.

Liu Chengcai and Li Xuemei took time out today to get their marriage certificate. Wang Hongmei was so happy when she saw her son and Li Xuemei's marriage certificate that she couldn't stop smiling.

Wang Hongmei has been working in the township government for these years, and she is no longer as reckless or petty as other country women.

"Xuemei, you know the situation in our family. We need to have more children in the future." Wang Hongmei held Li Xuemei's hand and whispered.

"Yeah!" Li Xuemei nodded with a blushing face.

"You are so bad. My parents don't know about your family situation yet." After Wang Hongmei left, Li Xuemei hit Liu Chengcai.

"I knew it only a few days earlier than you did. I just knew my father had the ability, but I didn't expect him to have such ability."

"I think Aunt Zhu looks familiar. Have I seen her somewhere before?" Li Xuemei asked at this time.

"On TV, Aunt Zhu appears on TV every year."

"Is Aunt Zhu an actress?" Li Xuemei was a little suspicious when she heard this.
