Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 43 Preparing to Go to the Countryside
the next morning,

Li Guoqiang slowly opened his eyes and woke up. In a trance, he felt as if he had a dream last night, a dream that made him indulge in it and unable to extricate himself.

Then, he quickly turned his head to look beside him, and a rough old face instantly came into his sight.

This made him feel relieved, but then he suddenly felt a little lost.

"Xiao Qiang, you're awake!"

At some point, Li Dawei, who was lying next to him, sat up and looked at Li Guoqiang gently.

"dad"

Li Guoqiang shouted, then hesitated, and ultimately did not ask the doubts in his heart.

"Well, hurry up and get dressed. After breakfast, I'll ride my bike to take you to the street."

Li Dawei nodded slightly, then pointed to the new cotton-padded jacket on the bedside table and gave instructions.

After saying that, he got out of bed, put on his coat and walked out of the house.

At this time, Li Guoqiang suddenly discovered that the other bed in the room was empty, and he didn't know when Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan got up.

Then, without giving it much thought, he quickly got up and put on his clothes and shoes.

When he had tidied himself up, the door was suddenly pushed open.

He turned his head and found that it was Luo Huijuan who had already gotten up. He couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

At this moment, Luo Huijuan seemed to be unaware of Li Guoqiang's feelings. She first poured hot water into the wash basin as usual, and then prepared towels, toothbrushes, tooth powder and other toiletries. Then she waved to Li Guoqiang and said with a smile, "Xiao Qiang, the water is ready, come over and wash up!"

"Oh! Here we come!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly agreed, then walked towards the washstand at the door with some nervousness and confusion.

Until now, he still couldn't be 100% sure whether what happened last night was a dream or he was really with Luo Huijuan?
After a while, he walked to Luo Huijuan, took the hot towel, and looked at Luo Huijuan carefully, trying to see something from her.

However, he looked around and couldn't see any difference from before.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the hot towel on his face, Luo Huijuan's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Xiao Qiang, I will wait for you to come back home!"

After saying that, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to react, Luo Huijuan quickly turned around and walked out.

Li Guoqiang suddenly pulled off the towel and looked at the door panel that was still shaking slightly, his face full of surprise.

Could it be that everything that happened last night was true?

this.
How can this be?

Although, although we haven't reached the last step yet, except for the last step, the previous ninety-nine steps have already been taken, and there is basically no way to go back.

Thinking of this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or distressed. He just felt that a heavy responsibility suddenly fell on his shoulders.

never mind!

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking about it any more. Let’s just take it one step at a time!

Soon, Li Guoqiang calmed down and finished washing up in no time.

Then after a while, Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan came in with a large plate of steaming dumplings. As the saying goes, dumplings on the bus and noodles on the bus. Being able to eat a delicious meal of dumplings before leaving home is also a great happiness in life.

At this moment, Li Guoqiang didn't show any courtesy or modesty. He just sat down at the table and stuffed dumplings into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

As he ate, he thought about how good his family had been to him during this period, and his eyes unknowingly became red. A hot tear slid silently from the corner of his eye and finally fell to the ground, splashing a teardrop.

Seeing him like this, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan felt a lump in their throats, then they quickly got up and walked out.

By the time he finished the whole plate of dumplings, it was already bright outside.

He sniffed, stood up and walked into the house, put on his bag, and strode towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Dawei, who was already waiting in the yard pushing his bicycle, and Yao Meilan, Luo Huijuan, Li Guofu, Luo Jiwu and others standing next to him.

Since he had said what he needed to say many times in the past few days, he didn't want to say anything else. He walked directly in front of Li Dawei and said softly, "Dad, let's go!"

"Well, let's go!"

Li Dawei nodded vigorously, then shouted loudly, and then strode towards the gate of the yard with his bicycle.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang followed silently.

Just as he walked out of the screen wall arch, he suddenly stopped, turned around and walked to Luo Huijuan, took out a small cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into Luo Huijuan's hand.

Then, he looked at Luo Huijuan deeply, turned around quickly and caught up with Li Dawei without saying anything.

Seeing this, Luo Huijuan could no longer hold back and threw herself into Yao Meilan's arms and burst into tears. Yao Meilan soon followed suit and started crying.

Li Guofu glanced at Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan, then at Li Dawei and Li Guoqiang who had already walked out of the hospital gate, looking like he wanted to cry but was forcing himself to hold it back.

Only Luo Jiwu looked at the relief on the arch of the screen wall with an expressionless face, as if he didn't care about what was happening in front of him.

Soon, the crying sounds reached the ears of the neighbors in the yard, and some were happy while others were sad.

Since going to the countryside is carried out in batches, today except for Li Guoqiang, the most active and proactive person to sign up, no one else in the courtyard wants to set off.

Even the departure date for the typical Bangteng was scheduled for three days later.

Along the way, Li Dawei didn't say anything to Li Guoqiang, but just pedaled the bicycle hard in silence.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at Dongzhimen Street smoothly.

At this time, the streets were already crowded with many people who came to see them off and young people going to the countryside. There was even a group of people at the entrance of the street who were dressed very festively and kept beating gongs and drums, making it very lively.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately asked Li Dawei to put him down outside the crowd.

Then he stood up straight, bowed silently to Li Dawei, and then without looking back, he pushed through the crowd and walked to the street registration office to register.

Li Dawei immediately held the handlebars, stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and kept his eyes fixed on Li Guoqiang, with reluctance written all over his face.

However, he was soon pushed to the ground by some onlookers.

By the time he regained his footing by holding on to the bicycle, Li Guoqiang was no longer in his sight.

At this time, Li Guoqiang didn't have time to care about Li Dawei. He was following a staff member of the Youth League Office with a puzzled look on his face and walked into the deputy director's office.
