Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 277 No, No

"Hey, aren't you? Aren't you the girl who entered the people's house?"

At the entrance of the village, an old woman was taken aback when she saw Li Xiuzhi, and then said in surprise.

"Aunt Mei, it's me."

Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for several years. I heard that you married to Qilian Mountain. Are you here to visit relatives?"

Cai Chunmei glanced at Xu Lingjun and Xu Yiyi, and said cheerfully.

"That's right! It's been a while since I've been back! It just so happens that my brother is getting married, so I came back to have a look."

Li Xiuzhi said with a smile.

"Oh, I see."

Cai Chunmei nodded, then she seemed to think of something, her face changed slightly, she pulled Li Xiuzhi aside, and said in a low voice, "Xiuzhi! Your brother's marriage is probably in doubt."

"How to say?"

Li Xiuzhi was slightly taken aback, and asked hastily.

"This... I'm not too good at talking about this, you'd better go home and ask your parents!"

Cai Chunmei said with some embarrassment.

"Well! Then let's go back first."

Li Xiuzhi frowned, said something worried, and then dragged Xu Lingjun quickly towards the house.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I haven't seen this girl who entered the folk house for a few years, but she has become more and more handsome. However, didn't the village say that she married an old You and had a bad life? Why doesn't this look like it?"

Cai Chunmei looked at Li Xiuzhi's back, stood there and muttered, with some confusion on her face.

Xu Lingjun followed behind Li Xiuzhi, looking at the surrounding environment.

What caught the eye was all adobe houses, not a single brick house, and even some thatched houses. It can be seen that the living conditions here are not good.

Moreover, most of the villagers' clothes are patched, and their faces are yellow and thin, which makes it obvious that they are malnourished.

The whole family wore brand-new clothes and their faces were ruddy. Walking in the village, they immediately became a beautiful landscape.

The villagers looked at them and pointed at them.

If it weren't for the fact that they came here on foot, the villagers would have thought that they were some important person who had gone to the countryside to experience life.

Not long after, Li Xiuzhi paused slightly, looking at a family not far away, her eyes instantly became moist.

She murmured to herself: "It hasn't changed, nothing has changed."

As she spoke, she hugged Xu Yiyi and ran forward.

Xu Lingjun frowned, and hastily quickened his pace to follow behind.

"you"

Hu Meilan walked out of the house with a broom, just in time to see a figure running in, she fixed her eyes and was stunned.

"mom!"

Li Xiuzhi stopped in her tracks, looked at the thoughtful figure at the door of the house, couldn't hold back anymore, and cried out directly.

"Xiuzhi, my dear daughter! Mom is sorry for you!"

Hu Meilan's body trembled, the broom in her hand fell to the ground, and then she rushed forward, holding Li Xiuzhi and crying.

"Woo hoo, mom!"

Li Xiuzhi couldn't cry, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances of the year.

Xu Yiyi watched this scene timidly, her little hands tightly clutching Li Xiuzhi's clothes, obviously a little frightened.

From birth to now, she has never seen Li Xiuzhi cry, let alone cry so sadly.

Seeing this, Xu Lingjun hurriedly put down the luggage in his hand, and then stepped forward to hug Xu Yiyi.

At this time, the crying caught the attention of the people in the house, Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun ran out one after another, and when they saw Li Xiuzhi's figure, they ran forward excitedly and shouted:

"Sister! You're back!"

"Sister! I miss you so much!"

After shouting, they unconsciously shed tears.

Back then, in order to leave an extra bite for them to eat, Li Xiuzhi silently packed up the package and married herself thousands of miles away.

Later, they learned in the letter that her life was going well, and they felt a little more at ease.

After a while, Li Xiuzhi stopped crying and hurriedly introduced Xu Lingjun and Xu Yiyi to her family.

"Mom, brother, brother, this is my husband and daughter."

Hearing this, Hu Meilan, Li Jianguo, and Li Jianjun all turned their attention to Xu Lingjun and Xu Yiyi who were standing behind.

At this time, they discovered that Xu Lingjun's family was all dressed in bright clothes, and Li Xiuzhi, who used to be a little thin, had become plump, charming and graceful now.

In addition, Xu Lingjun's handsome figure and Xu Yiyi's fine-grained appearance surprised them endlessly.

Didn't it mean that Xiuzhi's husband is Laoyou who has been on the horse for more than ten years?Why does it look more fanciful than the officials in the city?
They froze for a moment, then reacted with some embarrassment.

"Come on, come in and sit down."

Hu Meilan hastily greeted her, keeping her eyes on Xu Yiyi, her eyes full of love.

Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun also stared at Xu Yiyi intently, obviously already conquered by Xu Yiyi's cute appearance.

Xu Yiyi buried her head on Xu Lingjun's shoulder shyly, and asked in a low voice, "Papa, why are they looking at me all the time?"

"Hehe, because they like you!"

Xu Lingjun couldn't help but whispered.

After finishing speaking, he took a step forward, smiled and shouted softly: "Mom, brother, brother, my name is Xu Lingjun, and I am Xiuzhi's husband."

"Hey, come in and sit down."

Hu Meilan was taken aback for a moment, and greeted enthusiastically.

Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun smiled awkwardly, nodded and said nothing.

Although Xu Lingjun was Li Xiuzhi's husband, they were not familiar with Xu Lingjun after all, and Xu Lingjun's appearance and temperament put a lot of pressure on them, so they didn't know what to say.

Xu Lingjun didn't pay much attention to this, he reached out and handed Xu Yiyi to Li Xiuzhi, then turned around and went back to pick up the luggage, and followed Li Xiuzhi into the room slowly.

"Come on, drink water!"

Hu Meilan was busy making tea as soon as she entered the room, but she couldn't find any tea after searching, so she had to pour Xu Lingjun a cup of boiled water.

"Hey, Mom, you're welcome."

Xu Lingjun stood up, took the water glass, and said with a smile.

After speaking, he opened the bag he brought and took out the gift he had prepared before.

Two cigarettes, two bottles of wine, two catties of tea, two silk-wrapped rabbits, a bag of tea eggs, ten catties of candy, biscuits, peanuts, melon seeds, etc.

Seeing Xu Lingjun take out so many things, Hu Meilan almost straightened her eyes.

She made a rough calculation in her heart, and these things cost at least ten or twenty yuan to buy, which is considered a big deal.

You know, in their village, if a son-in-law can buy a piece of meat or some candy when he comes to the door, he is considered to be very respectable.

Even if they are hired to marry a daughter-in-law, few people can buy so many things.

"Mom, these things are the wishes of Xiuzhi and I, please put them away quickly!"

Xu Lingjun saw that Hu Meilan was stunned and didn't move, thinking that she was embarrassed to accept her, so she hurriedly said something with a smile.

Hu Meilan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Xu Lingjun was offering a bride price in disguise, so she stopped being polite and quickly put away everything.

However, when she finished packing her things, she was about to chat with Xu Lingjun about homework.

Xu Lingjun took out another wad of money from the bag and handed it over, saying: "Mom, when I married Xiuzhi back then, I didn't give any dowry to my family. Now I make up for it. I hope you don't mind."

Hu Meilan looked at the money in front of her, then at Xu Lingjun, and almost blurted out the three words "don't mind".

Fortunately, she finally held back and hastily declined: "No, no."
