Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Two days passed by in a flash.

On the morning of the fourth day of the New Year, the Liu family got up early and began to prepare.

Not only the Liu family's cross-courtyard, but even the main gate of the quadrangle courtyard was posted with red double happiness patterns and hung with red lanterns.

In the morning, Xixi was at home helping her brother's wife, who was about to get married, get dressed.

At around eight o'clock, Liu Siqi, wearing a big red flower, went to his wife's place, followed by a large group of children.

As the distance to the bride's reception was too close, Liu Siqi did not ride a bicycle but walked directly there.

The bride had no relatives in the old city, and no one from her family was present when she was picked up.

Liu Yuwen also wanted to volunteer to come over and block the door, and her little idea made everyone laugh.

"Do you want to help your sister-in-law, or do you want to ask your brother for a red envelope?" Sister Liu Qingxia joked with a smile.

"I am definitely helping my sister-in-law. I'm not going for the red envelopes." Liu Yuwen said stubbornly with her neck stiff.

"You little money-grubber, didn't your brother give you a red envelope last night?"

Liu Yuwen rolled around on the wedding bed with her little nephew last night, and each of them took a small red envelope.

"Who would complain about having too many red envelopes?" Xiao Yuwen muttered in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Finally, Feng Yu let her go. She was allowed to liven up the atmosphere and make it more lively.

After a short while, the couple arrived at the courtyard. Niu Niu went out to set off a firecracker, and then people came in.

When we got home, there were some more rituals. The whole process took less than an hour.

At this time, Liu Qingshan was arranging for everyone to go to the restaurant first, and the Liu family also packed up and prepared to go over.

Today, there are tables set up upstairs and downstairs in Shabu Xiang Ju, and Liu Qingshan has invited all of the hundreds of people in the courtyard.

Xu Damao did not come here alone today. Sun Xiaoyan and Xu Erhu also came with him.

Xu Damao's outfit today is no worse than that of the groom. In the temperature of minus seven or eight degrees, he is wearing a woolen coat with a thin woolen sweater underneath.

At this time, Sha Zhu came over with his family. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xu Damao greeting everyone everywhere.

"Hey! Isn't this Damao? Can you resist the cold with this outfit?" Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao whose nose was still red and couldn't help laughing.

"What do you know? See these foreign labels? These are foreign products! It's warm inside." Xu Damao unbuttoned his clothes and showed the label on them to Sha Zhu.

"Haha! That's true. But with your skinny body and donkey face, even if you wear the dragon robe, you don't look like a prince!" Sha Zhu couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Damao's hands were shaking.

"Shazhu, are you looking for trouble?" Xu Damao's face froze and he said angrily.

"I really didn't mean that. You were the one who held me back! I'm telling the truth!"

"You are just jealous of me! But today is Liu Siqi's wedding, I won't argue with you." Xu Damao pretended to be generous and walked aside.

Sha Zhu looked at his back and shook his head in boredom.

"This Xu Damao is really good at pretending. I guess he has been standing at the door, waiting for you for a long time!" Tian Xiuyun smiled helplessly.

After a while, two newlyweds came in from the door and greeted everyone one by one. Liu Qingshan and Feng Yu stood at the door and received the guests.

"Qingshan, you have to drink a few more glasses today! Last time at He's, you ran away!" The person who came in from the door was the retired Director Yang. He came with his wife today.

"Mr. Yang's complexion is getting better and better now. He looks much more energetic!" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"That's right. After retiring, I don't have to worry about anything. I feel more energetic now!"

Liu Qingshan escorted the guests to the private room and asked Sha Zhu to accompany them. He then stood at the door to greet the guests.

The rolling mill, the textile mill, the box factory, the Iron and Steel Institute, Director Yang from the district, Director Cai from Daoxiangju, the metallurgical department, the external relations department.

There were quite a lot of people coming, and the neighbors in the courtyard all stared with their eyes wide open.

"Old Yi, Qingshan's circle of connections is quite wide! Many of these people are very powerful!" The third uncle looked at the door in surprise.

"Qingshan's family has an inscription by the leader, so how could the person he knows be ordinary?" Before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, the second uncle next to him interrupted.

"The Liu family is all capable. Not to mention the Liu Qingshan brothers, even Old Liu himself is making a lot of money now," Yi Zhonghai sighed.

"I heard that Lao Liu's repair shop made a lot of money, but how much did he make exactly?" The third uncle became excited when he mentioned money.

"Only they themselves know how much they earn exactly. But some people say that in those few months last year, they should have earned more than 10,000 yuan," Yi Zhonghai said in a low voice.

"How much?" The third uncle suddenly raised his voice.

"Keep your voice down, what are you shouting about?" Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both frowned, looking obviously unhappy.

"I was really shocked by what you said!" said the third uncle aggrievedly.

"You scared us both! My heart can't take your sudden jumpiness." The second uncle looked at him unhappily.

"Let's talk business. How can he earn so much money all of a sudden with such a small shop?" The third uncle was still struggling with this issue.

"Others have their own skills, can you do it?" Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes in disdain.

Just as a few people were chatting casually, the wedding banquet began.

The Liu family prepared a rich feast. The drinks were Fenjiu that my brother-in-law had someone bring over. Two packs of cigarettes were prepared for each table. Even for those who didn't drink, there was Arctic Ocean soda.

This level made everyone in the courtyard stare with eyes wide open.

Xu Erhu usually never drinks, but today, seeing that Liu Siqi, who is younger than him, got married, he felt a little depressed.

Under Qin Huairu's persuasion, Xu Erhu also poured a glass of white wine.

Sun Xiaoyan felt bad watching her son guzzle cup after cup. When she looked at Xu Damao again, her eyes were filled with resentment.

Xu Damao was very happy. He still felt that his son was quite strong. Even after drinking half a pound of the food, his expression did not change at all.

"Son, don't just drink by yourself, have a drink with dad too. When you get married, dad will also follow this standard and do it for you!"

Xu Damao looked so happy that he didn't notice that there was something wrong with the look in Xu Erhu's eyes.

"Who should I marry?" Xu Erhu said self-deprecatingly, and then drank another glass of wine.

"Erhu, stop drinking, you've drunk too much!" Sun Xiaoyan quickly snatched Erhu's wine glass and poured him a glass of soda.

Qin Huairu also noticed that something was wrong with Xu Erhu at this time, and stopped urging him to drink.
