Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 993 Lantern Festival

Han Li and his friends did not go back to Houhaizi today, but instead spent the New Year at his parents' home.

The whole family drank a little wine in the evening. Unlike them who just took a few sips, Han Li also drank a lot in order to let his father drink well during the New Year. And he drank for real without cheating.

In the end, Han Li was a little too drunk, but this year was his first year of marriage, and he had to light up his own house anyway, so he could only hold on and light a string of firecrackers at the exact moment of dawn. Only then did he return to the house contentedly and hug his wife to sleep.

However, he had to get up after a short while. After everyone in the family was busy, Han Li took his new wife to kowtow to his parents for the first time to wish them a happy new year.

The next step is to pay New Year’s greetings to grandpa, but this year there is one more person from the Han family at his grave.

After returning from visiting the grave, Han Li took his wife to pay New Year's greetings to his master first, and then they joined the neighbors to pay New Year's greetings together. Yun Yingying was taken by Han's mother to visit the homes of several neighbors with whom she had a good relationship.

After Han Li finished his New Year greetings, a group of young people got together to drink, play cards, and then went home to sleep.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Han Li went to his eldest sister's house early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings.

Because Han Li was going to visit his mother-in-law's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year, the eldest sister and her husband had discussed with Han's mother before the Chinese New Year and decided to change the date of their visit to her mother's house to the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, so that the family could get together for dinner at that time.

However, Han Li did not have dinner at his eldest sister's house this time. First, as a new son-in-law, he went to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time and had to go a little earlier. Another reason was that his eldest sister-in-law Yuncai went to eat at his eldest sister's house.

Dai Yuncai is a pretty good-looking girl, but who would have thought that she was a martial artist and now often acts like a demon at home.

Dai Yuncai must have heard about the grand wedding of Han Li from her second brother Dai Jingan. Although the topic in the cafeteria could not be discussed with others, the scene of more than ten cars on the wedding day could still be boasted about.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. In Dai Yuncai's opinion, anyone who can find more than ten cars for a wedding must have very strong connections. If Han Li is willing to help, then her job will be settled, right?

So after Han Li came today, Dai Yuncai kept hanging around, bringing him sugar and pouring him tea, which made Han Li very uncomfortable and he even lost the mood to tease Xiao Zhuangzhuang.

Seeing her brother's impatience, Sister Han repeatedly signaled to her sister-in-law to go out, but Dai Yuncai acted as if she didn't understand and continued to do as she pleased in the house.

But she didn't say anything, which was very troublesome. This was also one of the reasons why Han Li didn't have dinner at his eldest sister's house today.

The Yun family’s hospitality was particularly sumptuous, and they also invited several neighbors to come and drink with them.

However, after the lesson from last time, these people all knew Han Li's alcohol tolerance, and no one wanted to make themselves suffer during the New Year, so the table was peaceful, and the drinking games and toasts were relatively polite.

After finishing his work, Han Li lived a comfortable life, spending every day as he wished.

Temple fairs? There was really nothing interesting to see at the temple fairs at that time. Not only were the performances clichéd, but even the types of goods were very monotonous and had not changed for many years.

Of course, there were a few small episodes during this period. After Han Li received a letter from his mother, he secretly went to find Li Xiaoyuan. The meeting place was in a small courtyard that Han's mother had just received a few years ago.

This courtyard is located in Dongguanying Hutong. It was also built by a descendant of the Eight Banners who bought out his own courtyard houses piece by piece in certain years.

This small courtyard should be called a Sanheyuan, because it has rooms on only three sides and there is no north room.

The two east rooms are the main houses, there is a room each on the west and south, and there is also some space on the north side. However, with the construction methods of those years, if a house is built on the north side, the yard will be gone, and all the rooms will not see sunlight. If the tide comes back, the house will be uninhabitable. Now there is a wall and a street gate on the north side.

But this is not a defect. If this place is not demolished in the future, it can be covered up as a whole, and the problem of sunlight can be directly dealt with by glass. When Li Xiaoyuan came, she wore a pair of glasses on her face. In addition, her skin became more delicate and fair in the past six months, which gave her a more cultural atmosphere.

This also made Han Li feel more impulsive, and the following meeting between him and Li Xiaoyuan was like a raging fire. Although there was no bed, Han Li was very strong and knew many tricks.

The two of them met at 10:30 in the morning and left at 2:30 in the afternoon. Although they were not always together, the frequency of their meeting was definitely not low.

This also caused Li Xiaoyuan to walk out of the house and slowly move around in the yard, leaning on the wall for a long time before he could barely leave.

Also, Xiao Wanzi and Xiao Yingzi came to Han Li to go out and play during the New Year period.

Going out with two teenage boys? What for? To watch you pull girls' braids? Or to watch your clumsy ways of flirting with women?
So going out to play was impossible, and Han Li immediately rejected their offer on the grounds that he had to accompany his wife to visit relatives.

Unexpectedly, when they learned that Han Li was already married, they kept complaining about why he didn't inform them of such good news.

Han Li looked at the two boys and didn't feel embarrassed at all, but he still comforted them verbally.

Another thing that Han Li didn't expect was that Zhang Qing, whom he met during the training at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during the New Year holidays, came to him again.

When Han Li was wondering, Zhang Qing said that their unit had arranged a large-scale dance during the Chinese New Year, so they could not go home for the New Year.

Han Li saw that she was a girl from another place and had no relatives in the city during the New Year, so he introduced her to Yun Yingying, He Mi and others. He originally wanted to invite her to his home for a meal.

Unexpectedly, after Yun Yingying and the others learned that Zhang Qing had taught Han Li to dance in the Beijing* Hotel, they wanted to learn dancing from her.

After the New Year, Zhang Qing had completed her mission. She thought that she would be alone if she returned to the dormitory, so she might as well stay here and enjoy the hustle and bustle.

In this way, Zhang Qing stayed at Han Li's house for two days before leaving. Strangely, she became good friends with Yun Yingying, He Mi and others.

During this period, Zhang Qing also learned the news of Han Li's marriage. A hint of sadness flashed across her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

Also, when Han Li went to pay New Year's greetings to Old Liu and the others, he was approached by Li Yunzhi, who had rushed back from Shanghai and insisted on coming to see the bride.

So, Liu Zhongcheng, Liu Zhongxin, Zhang Hailin, Zhang Ling, Hou Huidong, Hou Liru and other half-grown children played at Han Li's house for a whole day.

Of course, they couldn't stay in the house all the time. Han Li's family happened to live next to the lake, so they spent most of the day skating there.

Before they knew it, it was already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and in two days these students would be back to school.

The Han family is also very lively today. Under the command of Han's mother, the Han sisters, Yun Yingying, He Mi and others are shaking the winnowing baskets in their hands, on which are many glutinous rice balls that have not yet been formed.

This is because Han Li said before today that the Yuanxiao fillings in the store were too little and not sweet or sticky enough, so today's scene happened.

While everyone was busy, Han Li was thinking about what excuse he could find to go to the Northeast for two days.
