Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

The eleventh day of the first lunar month——

It was a home visit leave after more than ten years, and it was also for his daughter’s wedding. Yang’s father’s request for leave was easily approved, which could be considered a farewell.

The three of them boarded the train back to Sijiu City. Yang's father's position was just enough for level 13, and he didn't want to see Li Muhua and the other two hanging around in front of him, so he simply took the standard soft sleeper.

The two of them still occupied hard sleeper beds, but as it was only the first month of the year, there were not many people on the train.

It took another three days on the train, and we finally arrived in Sijiucheng on the 14th day of the first lunar month.

Li Aihua and Qiao Manwen had already gone to Tianjin. The elderly couple Li Haifu and Li Yujie went to the station to pick them up.

Yang's father did not put on the airs he had in the army, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. According to the plan, they will get the marriage certificate the day after tomorrow. They have made all the arrangements for the wedding banquet and have even sent invitations to some acquaintances in Yanbugui Shopping Mall.

But their classmates, teachers and friends still don’t know the details, let alone the invitations.

Getting married is very simple nowadays. All you have to do is get a marriage certificate and then gather close relatives and friends for a meal. Usually there are only one or two tables of people, which is similar to when Li Muhua got married in the countryside.

But this time it was in the city, and Li Muhua wanted to be more formal and invite all the students and teachers who should be invited.

The liveliness and formality were one thing, but these people were also high-level intellectuals, an extremely scarce resource, and he also wanted to draw them closer to him.

As it happens, school starts tomorrow, so it would be appropriate to go to school to ask for leave and send out invitations.

So they had just returned home, and while the elders from both sides were still chatting, the two of them started discussing who to invite in the house, and then wrote the invitations and prepared to distribute them immediately.

After writing the invitations, Li Muhua handed Yang Liu several invitations, leaving a small stack on her desk.

After thinking for a while, Li Muhua picked up another one and said, "I'm going to send Aunt Lou's invitation now. Can you come with me?"

"We'll have to avoid each other if we meet at school tomorrow, so we should see each other more today."

The newlyweds don’t meet each other the day before. Although they don’t believe in this, they still respect it.

"to make!"

Yang Liu nodded and agreed, "Before you praised her house as being like a royal palace, I want to go and see it for myself."

Li Muhua shook his head and said, "You might be disappointed. Even if his house was once a royal palace, now it is probably just broken bricks and tiles."

The scale of the movement in the past few years was so large that even the Jia family was looted, let alone the magnificent Lou family.

Unless his house was used as a headquarters by someone later, the things in the house would definitely not be saved, and even the floor could be pried open and used as firewood.

However, Li Muhua was not very clear about the specific situation, and he did not ask about the Lou family's old house later.

The two said goodbye to home and took a car to Lou's house.

Standing in front of the Lou family's gate, Li Muhua couldn't recognize it. She saw that the former small white building had almost become a small red building, and all the flowers, plants and trees in the garden had been cleared away.

But this is still a good thing. Since the Lou family’s old house was used as a headquarters before, most of the things in the house should be able to be preserved.

Ring the doorbell——

Lou Xiao'e walked out of the building, opened the iron gate, looked at the two people and said, "You look so happy, it seems you are here to give me an invitation."

The two nodded, and Li Muhua took out a red invitation from the front of his coat and handed it to Lou Xiaoe.

"Aunt Lou, the auspicious day is too close. It's the 16th day of the first lunar month. We just got back this morning and will be getting married the day after tomorrow. Please forgive me for not sending the invitation in advance. Please bring Qi Xian with you to attend the wedding."

Lou Xiao'e took the invitation and said, "I will definitely go. I have prepared the gift!"

After exchanging a glance with Yang Liu, Li Muhua asked again, "Aunt Lou, we are already very happy that you can come to the wedding. Can you tell me what the gift is?"

Lou Xiao'e did not hide it and said directly: "They are some household appliances, such as TV, washing machine, air conditioner and refrigerator. I asked someone to transport them back to China from Hong Kong."

"This-this is a bit too expensive!" Yang Liu looked at Li Muhua hesitantly.

"It's not expensive, it's just a little troublesome to transport it back. These things are very cheap in Hong Kong." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "Besides, Mu Hua has done a great favor to our family, so these things are nothing."

"This is just a gift to celebrate your wedding. It can't even be considered a thank you!"

Li Muhua was in a dilemma. He could accept it before, but now——

"Aunt Lou, this is the case. Yang Liu's father is an officer in the army, and my second brother's father-in-law may also come by then. It's not appropriate for you to send these."

"Well, I appreciate your kindness. Aunt Lou, you can keep these things for yourself."

Hearing that Li Aihua's father-in-law might come, Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up and said, "I have all these things in Hong Kong, and I don't stay in the mainland often, so there's no point in keeping them."

"How about this - I'll send some small gifts as usual the day after tomorrow, and these things can be sent over later, so that it won't be easy for others to misunderstand."

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e really wanted to send it off, Li Muhua couldn't just refuse. Thinking of the previous conflict with Yang Liu, she decided to just talk it out.

"Aunt Lou, I tipped off your family back then. In fact, your father gave me some money as a reward. I used the money to buy a lot of courtyard houses last year. Business is business, there is no such thing as a favor or no favor. It was a payment in full."

"If you give me something this expensive again, I really shouldn't accept it. My wife wouldn't agree to it. When she found out about this at the beginning of the year, she almost broke up with me."

Seeing Li Muhua looking at her, Yang Liu nodded and said, "Aunt Lou, he is right. He and I had a quarrel about this at the beginning of the year."

"But that was his affair with your father more than ten years ago, and he used the money to buy the yard. I can't argue about whether it was right or wrong, but now he must not accept such a valuable gift from you again."

"Did my father reward him?"

Lou Xiao'e asked suspiciously, and then said, "I have never heard him say that. Before he died, he only told me to return to China as soon as possible to thank you and invite you to develop in Hong Kong."

Father Lou did not tell Lou Xiao'e about the gold, because afterwards he felt more and more that Li Muhua was an extraordinary person and his vision was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Letting Lou Xiao'e come back to repay her gratitude is secondary; the more important thing is to win her over.

But Lou Xiao'e was a little naive, not even as good as the thirteen-year-old Li Muhua, and it was even more impossible for her to see the current Li Muhua clearly, so he simply didn't even mention winning her over, but only asked Lou Xiao'e to come back to repay his kindness, hoping to use favors to establish a good relationship with Li Muhua.

As long as Li Muhua accepts Lou Xiao'e's benefits, he will naturally help the Lou family in the future.

If Li Muhua was heartless and ungrateful, then the thanks would be in vain, and the Lou family would not be dragged into this trouble by trying to win over Li Muhua.

After all the calculations, Father Lou had a far-reaching plan.
