That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 856: The Husband’s Weakness
July 28, 1988, Friday, good days for: getting married, consecrating a ceremony, traveling, getting a haircut, building beams, putting out a fire, dismantling, repairing, and opening a business.

July 29, 1988, a Saturday, is a good day for: getting married, consecrating a ceremony, traveling, praying, seeking offspring, removing, demolishing, breaking ground, and building.

The two days at the end of July are both good days for marriage, so Li Ye will be busy for two consecutive days.
Because Li Dayong is getting married on the 28th and Wang Jianqiang is getting married on the 29th, and the two brothers' happy days are only one day apart, Li Ye, as their die-hard big brother, must be there to congratulate them.

The reason why these two got married later than Li Ye was, one, because Wen Leyu just graduated from university this year, and the other because they were young, just turning 23 this year. Otherwise, considering how much they followed Li Ye, they would have gotten married last year.

When Li Ye arrived today, it was not enough for him to just be there to congratulate, he also had to toast with the groom. The Dongshan men are all honest people. Li Ye estimated that he would have to drink at least three, four, five or six kilograms of wine in the next two days, maybe even five, six, seven or eight kilograms.

Although Li Ye has never been drunk since he traveled through time, he has a child after all. In this day and age, he is considered a middle-aged man who "drinks wolfberries", so some people are concerned about his health.

On the evening of the 27th, Li Zhongfa and Li Kaijian arrived. Wen Leyu said to Li Ye at the dinner table very considerately: "You are going to Dayong's place tonight, right? I asked someone to get some Pueraria root. Remember to bring it with you later. Drink some before drinking tomorrow to sober up and protect your brain."

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyu, you are really thoughtful."

Li Ye nodded and just praised his wife for being considerate, but Wu Juying scolded him: "You are fine? Can't you drink less? You are so young but you act like a drunkard. You think you can drink, right?"

"."

Li Ye lowered his head and ate from his empty bowl, as if it were an inexhaustible treasure bowl filled with endless delicacies.

When a man is called a "drunkard" by a female elder, he should never defend himself or retort, because it is meaningless to argue to the end of the world on this issue.

A few decades ago, if a grandchild dared to talk back to his grandmother, he would be hit in the face by the big sole of the shoe, or even pricked by the awl used to sew the soles.

What's even worse is that grandpa and dad are still watching! If Li Ye dares to pout, it's probably not just a matter of shoe soles and needles.

But at this moment, Wen Leyu was holding the child and smiling, as if the conversation just now was not initiated by her.

Li Ye's observation skills were so sharp that he could see that Wen Leyu was trying to persuade him to drink less in disguise.

But you can persuade me if you want! I'm not ignoring your advice, why do you need to invite this big Buddha like grandma out?

You know that Tathagata Palm is very scary, right?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Li Ye drove to Li Dayong's yard in Beixinqiao.

Li Dayong bought this courtyard house two years ago because he saw Li Ye always buying houses.
But because Li Dayong usually lives near Changbei Machinery Company, he seldom lives here. Li Ye only came to take a look when the house was being renovated a few days ago and gave some suggestions.

Li Ye saw that several classmates from the small group of eight had arrived and were eating watermelon around the table in the yard!

"Hey, Li Ye is here!"

"Don't call him Li Ye, you should call him Deputy Director Li now."

"Do you understand the rules? What Deputy Director Li? You should call him Director Li. Be more careful next time. If Li Ye doesn't care, then the deputy director of your unit won't care either, right?"

"."

Li Ye looked at Han Xia, Fu Yingjie, Jiang Xiaoyan and others who were holding watermelons in one hand and laughing, and he was suddenly back to the scene five years ago when they were preparing for the college entrance examination in the scorching heat in the No. 2 Grain Store opposite the No. 2 Middle School in the county.

At that time, there was no refrigerator in the grain store, so the watermelon could only be cooled with well water. But for the children who were almost fainted by the heat in July, the effect was no less than that of iced milk tea in later generations. Now looking back, the July college entrance examination was so tiring, and the fruit was so sweet. Now that the eight of us have graduated from college and started working, we know how high the return rate of our persistence was.

Han Xia saw Li Ye smile and handed him a piece of watermelon. "Well, Deputy Director Li, don't mind it. It's an iced watermelon. I'm giving you a big bribe. Why didn't Wen Leyu come?"

Li Ye smiled, took the watermelon and ate it while saying, "She has to coax the children to sleep! The two children were very noisy at night, so she can only come tomorrow morning."

Han Xia was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "I had forgotten about this. Two months ago, Jiang Xiaoyan told me that you had become a father, and I couldn't believe it. How could you change so quickly?"

"You can hurry up too!" Li Ye pointed at Yan Jinbu and said with a smile, "You and Jinbu have been in love for five years. You can't waste his youth any longer. Hurry up and have the wedding!"

After Han Xia and Yan Jinbu were admitted to Beijing University of Chemical Technology at the same time, they naturally became a couple. Moreover, their personalities complemented each other, one fast and one slow, so everyone felt that they were a good match.

"Don't talk about him. He's always dithering."

It would have been fine if Li Ye hadn't mentioned Yan Jinbu, but when he mentioned Han Xia, he got angry: "Uncle Kaijian contacted us this spring and asked us to go back to the county fertilizer factory to work. I was very happy at the time because I could take care of my parents nearby."

"But Yan Jinbu believed the lies of his leader, who said he would be promoted to deputy section chief in the first half of the year and full section chief in the second half. So he thought he could be transferred to another job after the promotion. But now it's the second half of the year and he still hasn't been promoted to deputy section chief."

"."

Yan Jinbu was stunned for a moment, then defended himself: "Our leader didn't say anything nonsense, it's just that the situation has changed temporarily and we need to postpone it for a few months."

"You are the only one who believes this," Han Xia said bluntly, "If you hadn't asked for a transfer, maybe they would have solved it for you, but since you have already asked for a job transfer, it would be strange if they didn't take advantage of you."

"The promises your leader made to you are like the meat pancakes in front of a donkey's nose. They smell good, but you can't eat them."

Yan Jinbu was scolded by Han Xia in public. He blushed with embarrassment. After a long pause, he managed to utter, "Donkeys eat grass, not meat."

"Hahahaha~"

"Old Yan, Old Yan, you have been subdued by Han Xia in this life. You are a weak husband, you are a weak husband!"

"Hahahaha~"

Fu Yingjie and others were making fun of Yan Jinbu, who was dominated by his wife, and Yan Jinbu was just laughing foolishly. He seemed to be indifferent to his classmates' indifference and was willing to swallow their pride.

But Li Ye gradually stopped smiling.

He patted Yan Jinbu's shoulder and said, "Old Yan, accompany me to the car to move a few bundles of beer. We will drink some later."

"okay."

Yan Jinbu stood up and followed Li Ye out of the courtyard, but Li Ye did not follow him to move the wine from the car, but led him away.

"Old Yan, you feel very upset, right?"
