Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Li Muhua also had a big smile on his face. Li Qinghua turned around and introduced them, "This is my father-in-law, and this is my brother-in-law, Qiaohui's elder brother."

After introducing the three people, Li Qinghua looked at Cheng's father and introduced them, "My parents don't need to be introduced. This is my younger brother Li Muhua. He was the one who wrote "Drawing Sword". It was even published in the newspapers and was interviewed. You also know this!"

Li Qinghua couldn't hide the pride on his face.

"I know, I know. When Qiaohui was in school, the school even taught him about his spirit!" Father Cheng looked at Li Muhua excitedly and asked, "Have you really met the teacher?"

"Not only have I seen him, Li Qinghua has also seen him several times!" Li Muhua said frankly.

Li Qinghua said, "I was just watching from afar in the square. You were received. You were even notified to return to the city to attend the memorial service. We are very different."

"It's almost the same. I only looked at him closely when I was received, and I never spoke to him!"

Li Muhua told the truth.

Seeing this, Li Haifu stepped forward and interrupted, "My dear, this matter is our fault for being negligent. We should have asked you to visit Sijiucheng earlier. Our home is only across the street from him."

Father Cheng put away his excitement, smiled and shook his head and said: "Qinghua is filial, I have already told you about this at home. I also want to go and bother you, but there are too many livestock at home, and it will take several days to go back and forth, so I really can't leave!"

"Ask the neighbors to help look after you for a few days. We came here to visit you. We have been in-laws for seven years and haven't visited each other. It's our fault."

"Secondly, we would like to invite you to come back to Sijiu City with us. We will treat you well..." Li Haifu said warmly.

The two of them started chatting enthusiastically.

Li Qinghua's elder brother-in-law also stepped forward and enthusiastically took the box from Li Muhua's hand, and said warmly: "You are really energetic, more like a city dweller and an intellectual than any other educated youth I have ever seen!"

Cheng Jiefang looked at Li Muhua with some envy. Li Qinghua hugged Li Muhua and boasted: "Of course, how can ordinary educated youth compare to my brother?"

"Don't just look at his good looks, he has more in his stomach. Huazhong University of Science and Technology is the best university in our country."

"It's not enough that he was able to get in. He was also able to write textbooks for others to learn from. Look at that crappy Normal University that Zhao Degui got into. Look how he brags about it - he even goes door to door handing out wedding candies."

"Bah!" Li Qinghua spat.

"I'm not even qualified to ask my brother to teach him."

Li Qinghua had a look of smugness on his face, not caring about honor or disgrace. He took leave for two years in a row to return to the city to take the college entrance examination, but failed in the end. After Zhao Degui passed the university entrance examination, he often boasted in front of Li Qinghua, and some people in the team also gossiped about him.

Now that Li Muhua's college student is here, he naturally wants to show off. It's a pity that Aihua Yujie didn't come with them, otherwise he would have to drag the three of them to Zhao Degui's house to distribute wedding candy.

Li Muhua felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "Brother-in-law, it's not as mysterious as my brother said. I'm just an ordinary college student."

Cheng Jiefang shook his head seriously and said, "College students are not ordinary. There are thirty or forty people in our two teams taking the college entrance examination. After two years, only Zhao Degui was admitted to the Normal University, not to mention that you are from Huazhong University in the capital!"

Cheng Jiefang's eyes looked serious and didn't seem fake.

The current university admission rate is a pitiful 5 or 6 percent. Excluding children from scholarly families and highly educated families, and students with good educational conditions in cities, it is almost impossible for rural people to be admitted to university.

Li Muhua didn't explain any more. It wasn't good to just pretend to be ordinary. She just said directly: "Okay, then let's not talk about college."

"Let's talk about the delicious food and fun places in Xingqing and Alashan first. I have to stay here for a few days this time, so you have to take me around!"

Before Cheng Jiefang could nod and agree, Li Qinghua said, "There's nothing fun here. There are only sand dunes and barren mountains. There are no ancient buildings to visit like in the old city. It's a boring place!"

Without waiting for Li Muhua to react, Li Qinghua said with shining eyes: "But here you can ride horses and camels, eat beach sheep and drink camel milk. I think a few days will be enough for you to learn how to ride a horse!"

"Okay!" Li Muhua agreed with great interest, "Then I will learn to ride a horse and a camel. I'm an adult, but I've never ridden a horse before!"

Cheng Jiefang then interrupted and said, "Brother Muhua, don't worry. We have horses and camels in our forest farm. I will teach you how to ride the same way I taught Qinghua!"

Li Muhua simply agreed. While they were talking, they had already walked outside the square, where a tractor was parked.

Cheng Jiefang put away his luggage and got into the driver's seat. Cheng's father smiled and said to them, "He works part-time as a driver in the commune. It's convenient for us to borrow his car for our own use. However, our commune only has tractors, which can't catch up with the big truck you drive. Please bear with me!"

"My dear, I have stopped driving a truck for a long time!" Li Haifu said, "Besides, a tractor is more suitable for picking up people. Sitting is more comfortable than standing in a truck."

"My dear, you are right!"

Father Cheng said: "It's just that the tractor is a bit noisy. It's inconvenient for us to talk. The road is also very bumpy. I don't know if you are used to it!"

All three said it was okay.

The tractor rumbled, carrying everyone through Xingqing City and across the majestic Helan Mountains.

When we entered the desert and looked back at the mountains, we found that they were much more lush and green, which was really surprising.

A wasteland is not really a desert, but the land has almost become sandy. Generally, there are fewer trees and grass, but sparse trees and shrubs can still be seen.

But Li Muhua knew that if they went a little further, they would reach a desert with no grass at all!

There was no asphalt road at this time, only a bumpy dirt road. The spoiled Li Muhua's butt was so painful from the bumping that she had to stand up and pretend to enjoy the scenery, holding on to the railing in front of the truck bed.

After half an hour's drive, the tractor finally stopped in front of a small courtyard of a loess bungalow.

Most of the houses along the way were like this, but I didn't see any yurts.

There were quite a few people waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, including an old man wearing a military cap, an old woman wearing a white headscarf, and some young boys and girls, who seemed to be waiting to watch the fun.

"My dear relatives, these are all villagers from our neighborhood. They must have known you were coming and wanted to see Li Muhua. You know Qinghua's loud voice. When he called you to discuss things in the commune, he wished that everyone in our house could hear it."

Father Cheng had no choice but to explain that this was not what he meant.

Li Qinghua smiled foolishly and said, "I just yelled on purpose for them to hear. My brother is so promising and energetic, why would he be afraid of them seeing him?"

Li Haifu nodded and said with a smile: "This is our first time visiting your house, your family should be lively and festive. This is good, good!"

As soon as the tractor stopped, an old man came up and stared at Li Muhua.

"Qinghua, is this your promising younger brother?"

Li Qinghua stood up and hugged Li Muhua, saying with pride: "That's right, you only heard me bragging all day long, now you finally see the real person, right?"

The tractor bed was only as high as a person's chest, and a group of people were staring at Li Muhua as if they were looking at fish in a fish tank.

“Not like that!”

The old man looked at the two of them and shook his head, saying, "Your brother is fair-skinned and looks better than the cultured men in the movies, but you are no different from us country guys. The two of you hugging each other like this don't even look like brothers!"

Someone immediately joked behind him: "I see Qinghua hugging his brother, like a bandit robbing a scholar!"

"Hahaha~~" These words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Li Qinghua put down his hand somewhat awkwardly, and looked at the clothes on Li Muhua's body again, and just shouted: "He just doesn't get enough sun in the city, and he relies on clothes to pretend."

"Wait for me to return to the city. I'll be more talented than him in a year!"

Hearing what he said, Li Haifu cursed him inwardly as a pig-head, and the smile on Cheng's father's face froze.

Li Muhua and the others got off the bus one by one. As soon as he got off the bus, Li Muhua was pulled aside and asked, "Comrade Li, have you really met the teacher?"

Before Li Muhua could answer, someone asked again, "Is it true as Qinghua said? You live next door to the teacher?"

"Did you really donate more than 80,000 yuan back then?"

“You are teaching at Huada University now…”

Questions rained down on Li Muhua. For a moment he didn't know who to answer and cursed Li Qinghua in his heart.

Li Haifu, Xu Yan and others all watched this scene with smiles and were welcomed into the house.
