Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

This period of time was definitely the most stressful and exciting time in Liu Guangtian's life, because he was about to get married, and he and Ruoxi, who had been dating for several years, were finally going to get married.

Liu Guangtian was getting married for the first time in his two lives and was extremely excited. In this era, it was rare for someone to be able to be with a girl for more than two years.

Other people get married very quickly. They just meet once through a matchmaker, and if they are satisfied with each other, they can get the marriage certificate and take it home within a week. It's very efficient.

It's nothing like the later generations, where people would date for ten or eight years and still break up in the end. Now if you are not good at being in a relationship, you will really be arrested as a gangster.

The house has been repaired and I can now use the toilet freely without having to worry about having to poop more than once.

When Liu Guangtian was working, there was a colleague who had a bad stomach. He had to lie down for at least four or five times a day to defecate. If he were to live in this era, this stomach problem would definitely be cured!

On May 1962, 5, there were four major happy events in a person's life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and passing the imperial examination. Each happy event can bring joy to people.

The Hongxing Courtyard was particularly lively early in the morning. Liu Guangtian's wedding was not very grand, but there were about 8 tables of guests.

The wedding will be held here. It is not suitable for too many people to enter the yard of No. 60 for fear of disturbing the peace and quiet. After all, Liu Guangtian is still the second son of the Liu family. It is against the rules to hold the wedding at the master's house, otherwise Liu Haizhong will lose face!

The Red Star Courtyard was bustling with activity. The children were running around happily; they loved this kind of happy event the most. The young wives and aunties were washing vegetables or making fire.

Although this year is the last year of hard times, Liu Guangtian still gritted his teeth and held the wedding. Xu Damao and the others had already done it, so he couldn't lose. It didn't require a big ceremony, as long as relatives and friends got together for a meal.

The chef in charge of cooking at Red Star Courtyard is still Sha Zhu. He is indispensable for this kind of thing. There is no one else but him. If we don’t find him, it won’t be Love in Courtyard.

He Daqing hasn't come back yet, but last time I heard from Sha Zhu, he said that his father stayed for a few days to teach him his cooking skills and also passed on the recipes of Tan's dishes to him. According to him, his cooking skills have greatly improved!

A jeep covered with red flowers was parked at the gate of the courtyard, and behind it were three-wheeled vehicles and several bicycles. This was the bride-picking convoy and it could not be shabby.

The driver was Lin Guoqiang, the head of the security department. He knew that Liu Guangtian was going to get married and strongly requested that he be the driver. Xu Damao was asked to ride the sidecar.

This guy insisted on going, and he pestered Liu Guangtian for a long time in order to get him to go with him to pick up the bride. Finally, he learned how to ride, so Liu Guangtian just let him ride.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yi Zhonghai, as an old man, naturally had to help out. As the host of the wedding, he walked to the gate and shouted:

"The auspicious time has arrived. It's time to set out to pick up the bride. Guys, get in the car and get ready!"

Liu Guangtian led a group of young people to mount their horses and set off with a wave of his hand.

As I rode my bike, the vehicle following behind me started slowly.

Yi Zhonghai waved at Yan Jiecheng, who immediately understood and trotted to a long string of firecrackers on the side of the road, took a deep puff of his cigarette and lit the firecrackers.

The crackling sound echoed in Nanluoguxiang!

Vehicles were driving on the streets of the old city, and pedestrians were looking sideways. As long as Chinese people were there, they would be happy to watch the excitement of a happy event like a wedding. Not to mention weddings, they would also watch funerals!

The journey was not far, and it only took about ten minutes to reach the An family yard. At this time, the An family was also very lively with a lot of relatives and friends.

Liu Guangtian and his party got off the car and there was another burst of firecrackers, welcoming the groom to pick up the bride.

The guys got off the car and scattered wedding candies, red envelopes, peanuts and fruits. Children kept coming over to say some nice words. Liu Guangtian and his friends were not stingy and gave gifts to everyone they met. Liu Guangtian had prepared a lot of these things.

Without the wedding pranks and complicated procedures as he had imagined, Liu Guangtian met his wife easily. She looked especially beautiful today.

She was not wearing a red dress, only a Lenin suit, with a red flower on her chest to prove that she was the bride. After taking Ruoxi to offer tea to An's father and mother, she carried her out of the An family's gate.

There were twice as many people when they left as when they came, and the relatives and friends of the An family also wanted to attend the wedding and have a good meal.

Liu Guangtian and An Ruoxi sat in the car, holding hands tightly and smiling at each other. They could see themselves in each other's eyes.

At the Red Star Courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Guangtian's parents and brothers were standing at the gate waiting. At this time, Yan Jiekuang came running over with a group of little kids and shouted, "Here she comes, the bride is here!"

"Oh, the bride is here, let's set off firecrackers!" a group of children shouted loudly!

Liu Haizhong and the second aunt looked happy. Today they were celebrating the wedding of their grandfather and mother-in-law, so they were naturally dressed appropriately. It is the truth that people are in high spirits when they are happy.

Liu Haizhong said to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi is here!"

Yi Zhonghai: “Leave it to me!”

The car slowly drove into the alley and stopped at the door. Liu Guangtian got out of the car and ran to the other end and came out holding his wife.

When they stepped into the yard, Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly: "The bride is coming home, good luck!"

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, it was a seamless connection!

Fortunately, this is a special period and everything should be kept simple. If the policies were relaxed, they would do anything they wanted. There are so many rules and regulations that getting married would make you faint from exhaustion!

After carrying Ruoxi into the east wing of the front yard, the new daughter-in-law offered tea to her parents and asked them to change their names. Liu Haizhong and his wife happily took out red envelopes as compensation for changing their names!

After everything was settled, Liu Guangtian took his wife to the gate to greet the guests. I believe that all the married brothers and sisters have done this before, and some of them have even done it more than once!

Things like arranging the guests to sit down were handled by Yi Zhonghai, while handing out cigarettes and wedding candies were naturally handled by the younger guys.

As noon approached, friends and relatives arrived in waves, including the heads of various departments in the factory, as well as Yang and Li.

Liu Guangtian’s teachers and classmates also came. After all the guests arrived, they sang red songs, paid tribute to the great man, and then the banquet began.

Just as Sha Zhu said, his cooking skills have improved. Liu Haizhong arranged ten dishes, six meat and four vegetarian, which was perfect.

All the money was paid by Liu Haizhong, he was happy to pay it. Liu Guangtian took care of everything except providing some meat and vegetables!

It is said that marriage is a major event in life. Liu Guangtian was in a very good mood from the beginning of the morning and never lost his smile. In fact, no matter how a person looks like, the wedding day is the most handsome and photogenic moment. From any angle you look at the groom, you can tell that he is happy. This is what is called being in high spirits when happy events occur!

There was no trouble during the banquet. Jia Zhang did not come out to cause trouble as expected. Everything went smoothly. Everyone was concentrating on eating. It was not easy to have a good meal and no one wanted to do anything unnecessary. They just wanted to eat a little more than others.

The atmosphere is very lively at the table with the leaders. People are toasting each other, drinking wine and eating food, and bragging, which is really enjoyable!

At night, two big red lanterns were hung at the door of the main house in No. 60 courtyard, and the word "囍" was pasted on each window.

The two people in the room looked at each other with love in their eyes. Liu Guangtian poured two glasses of wine and motioned for them to drink from the same cup.

After drinking, Liu Guangtian hugged Ruoxi, greedily smelled her fragrance and said:

"My dear wife, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Today, I will give you all the 100 to 180 kilograms of my flesh. Please don't let me down!"

Ruoxi: "You want to die, go to sleep quickly, I can't wait any longer, hahahaha!"

Liu Guangtian: "Turn off the lights!"

Ruoxi: "Why turn off the lights? Are you shy? Hehe, the more shy you are, the more motivated I am! Come on, baby!"

One night of fish and dragon dance...
