The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 130 Guangqi's wedding, borrowing a car empty-handed
It was past six in the evening.

In the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluogu Lane, every household is eating at this point, and some are discussing what will happen in the West Cross Courtyard today.

Backyard bangs in the home.

"Dad, Lili told me that we can get the certificate first. They asked our family to give ten pounds of refined grains, one pound of eggs, one old hen, half a pound of pork, and ten yuan as a betrothal gift. Lili will give her a watch. To buy a set of clothes, we also need to buy a radio at home."

"She thinks the bed I sleep in is too small, so I need to change it to a double bed. There must also be a washstand, basin, thermos, and spittoon."

Listening to the eldest brother counting on his fingers the bride price that his sister-in-law wants and the things that need to be bought at home.

Brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stopped holding their chopsticks.Whenever the eldest brother said something, the two brothers' bodies would tremble.

The two lowered their heads and glanced at each other, and finally focused on their father who was holding the wine glass. They were afraid that their father would be angry and take it out on themselves later, so they were ready to rush out the door at any time.

"How can our family have the money to buy so many things? Others can get married with ten pounds of stick noodles and one pound of eggs. Guangqi! Why don't you discuss it with Lili's parents again?"

The second aunt saw her man put down his wine glass and stopped drinking, so she thought about reminding the boss.

"Mom, Lili has a formal job, and her parents also spent a lot of money. She doesn't come from the countryside, and she doesn't need a bicycle or a sewing machine! So when Dongxu got married, Qin Huairu came from the countryside, and even if he didn't have a job, he had both. Where’s the sewing machine!”

The second aunt may also be a little reluctant to give up, looking at Liu Haizhong hesitantly, wanting to say something but not daring to say it.

"Okay, mother, I am the second uncle in the courtyard after all, and Guangqi is the eldest son of our family. He can't be shabby when he gets married! The money should be paid, but it must be paid. If our family gets angry and makes a big show, don't let it happen. The Lili family is in disgrace."

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu who were pulling pickles.

"You have also heard that your brother is getting married soon. You two should not crowd together with your brother. Free up that room for your brother!"

The two brothers were so shocked that they raised their heads and glanced at each other. Liu Guangtian asked in fear.

"Dad, it doesn't matter if my brother gets married and we free up, but where will we live?"

Liu Haizhong frowned, Liu Guangtian was so frightened that his buttocks were raised, Liu Guangfu twisted around, and the two of them were ready to run away at any time.

"Tomorrow, you can dismantle the bed and sleep in the living room. That space is almost enough for both of you."

As he spoke, he picked up a peanut in his bangs, put it into his mouth, and pointed to a corner of the living room with his chopsticks.

Liu Guangqi didn't say anything. The area of ​​his house was not big, and the wing room was similar to Li Feng's house. The three brothers originally lived there, but now that he was getting married, he had to sacrifice the two brothers.

The second aunt frowned as she calculated the money and tickets needed to buy things. The watch and radio together cost 300 yuan. The key point was that she didn't have the tickets for these two things at home.

The total tickets for these two items are estimated to cost about 200 yuan.Including the miscellaneous double bed, washstand, washbasin, thermos, spittoon and other miscellaneous things, the banquet alone will not make back the money, but the family's wealth will be emptied.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. Although they feel that their sister-in-law's family wants a bit too much, compared with Jia Dongxu's family, it is considered normal. They have no idea how they will cope after their family's wealth is emptied.

"I need to pick her up on my bicycle. I also need to bring some chests of drawers prepared by his family, quilts and other dowry items."

Liu Guangqi saw that his father agreed readily, so he simply put forward the remaining conditions proposed by the target's family.

Hearing that the other party had also prepared dowry items, the second aunt's frown relaxed a little. At that time, she thought that the betrothal gift was not too much. It was normal to prepare a set of clothes for the girl's family. The radio was also placed at home. The only thing that was too much What comes out is the watch.

But I have a job over there, and it’s not impossible to just grit my teeth with an extra watch.However, after hearing the last request, there are not many bicycles now. Xu Damao only has one in the whole courtyard, and it is a public one.

He probably didn't dare to borrow a government car. The only one was the Li family in the front yard. The Li family had bought a mule cart today, which was suitable for pulling things, so he simply mentioned what happened in the afternoon.

"Old Liu, Xu Damao's bicycle belongs to the public, so Li Feng's car belongs to him, and there is also the mule cart that his family brought back in the afternoon, how about...?"

Hearing the second aunt say this, Liu Haizhong instantly lost his appetite.

My family is trying to fill a hole by marrying for the eldest son.Good guy, the eldest son of the Li family had not even gotten married yet, so he went home and grabbed a lot of things. Looking at his two silent sons, he rewarded each of them with a chopstick.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were so frightened that they quickly covered their heads and stepped back. They didn't dare to help him up if his stool fell down.

"You know how to eat what is useless. At your age, Li Feng knows how to join the army to reduce the burden on the family. I think I will have to send you two to the mountains and countryside."

Liu Guangtian was older, so he received a chopstick in vain, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Dad, if you paid to send me to the factory like my brother did, I would definitely drag you home."

Seeing that the second child dared to talk back, the fat on Liu Haizhong's face began to tremble. He looked around and saw the feather duster lying there, so he picked it up.

Liu Guangfu saw his father pick up the feather duster, quickly opened the bolted door and ran out.

"You bastard, you don't want to improve yourself, but you still expect the old man to help you! If you dare to talk back to me, I can't beat you to death."

Liu Guangtian was hit with a feather duster twice, couldn't bear it anymore, and ran out.When they arrived at the hall, they saw that their younger brother Liu Guangfu was still waiting for him. The two brothers were in tears and had nowhere to redress their grievances.

"If I can provide for him in his old age in the future, I will be his grandson."

Liu Guangtian gritted his teeth and vented his emotions. Liu Guangfu was a little confused. Why in the family, it was the eldest brother who had to spend money every time, and he and the second brother were the ones who got beaten.

"Brother, stop talking. If dad hears it, you'll get a beating. Where are we going?"

"Let's go out and hide first. I spent a lot of money this time. I will definitely eat my belt when I go back."

While Liu Guangtian was talking, he led Liu Guangfu to the front yard. Li Feng happened to be back from the West Cross Courtyard at this time, and saw the two brothers running out of the back room in despair.

"What's going on? Your dad beats you again?"

Liu Guangtian saw Li Feng standing at the door. They were both about the same age. They were living a prosperous life, and his two brothers were like stepmothers.

"Hey, my eldest brother is getting married, and my sister-in-law's family needs watches and radios. We are not in trouble."

Liu Guangfu was a quick talker and told the story. Liu Guangtian didn't want to be embarrassed, so he pulled Liu Guangfu and ran away.

"Don't just beat the kids. Why don't we borrow this car from the Li family? It will cost so much money this time, so we can save a little bit."

The second aunt was also used to it. Knowing that the two boys would not dare to come back for a while, she reached out and closed the door.

"It's okay to borrow it. After all, I am the second uncle in the courtyard, and the Li family will not deny me this honor."

Liu Haizhong's face was uncertain, and he cheered himself up. He also knew that he had offended the Li family by presiding over the pig distribution last time.

But remembering that I was even more unhappy with the Xu family who were also in the backyard, I was always asking for trouble when I opened my mouth to Xu Fugui.

"When the time comes, I'll have a banquet with Silly Zhu, so I can save myself this wasted money."

Liu Haizhong also made a calculation. His salary is not low, but he can save a little at this time. Don't worry about the boss getting married and not being able to drink the wine he made.

Li Feng returned home and saw Li Nan coming back. He picked up the chopsticks and bowl and started eating dinner.

"Where did you go so crazy this afternoon? You bought a pen and you don't know your last name?" Li Feng scolded Li Nan while holding out his chopsticks to the mutton stewed radish.

Li Nan held the chopsticks in his mouth, his eyes rolling around, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, don't think about making up excuses. It's time to go back to class. Mom, chop the marinated fish. I also brought back some pieces of dried mutton this afternoon and will steam a piece for her tomorrow. Eat at school.”

After saying that, Li Feng gave Li Nan a hard look, and he was already back, still thinking about skipping class and dreaming about your spring and autumn dreams.

"Eat quickly, Nan Nan, don't let your brother finish it all. Your brother is right, don't fall behind in class."

Liu Yin watched the eldest child educating the second child, ignored Li Nan's look for help, reached out and picked up a piece of mutton with some fat, and put it into Li Nan's bowl.

Li Nan, who was pouting, saw that his brother didn't even look at him, and even accelerated the speed of picking up the meat.She quickly put away her pretended aggrieved face, picked up the meat Liu Yin brought to the bowl with her chopsticks, and stuffed it into her mouth, her little tiger teeth opening and closing, biting hard.

"Dangdangdang!"

A family of three was eating their hard-earned reunion dinner under the dim light.There was a knocking sound outside his door.

Li Feng raised his head and Liu Yin looked at each other, both wondering, is it possible that the children next door are greedy for eating meat at home?
"Who?"

Li Feng turned his head towards the door and asked.

Liu Yin also stood up, went to the table where the condiments were placed, found the steaming cloth for steaming things, and came over to cover the pot of mutton stewed with radish.

"Li Feng, I am your second uncle. I come here to discuss something with you!"

The second uncle's stumbling response came from outside the door. Li Feng listened carefully. The footsteps at the door were quite chaotic, and there must be quite a lot of people there.

"Hey, here we come!"

After covering the mutton, Liu Yin answered the door and walked over to open the door.

Seeing that an outsider had arrived, the dishes were covered. The two siblings looked at each other and stopped using the chopsticks in their hands.

After Liu Yin opened the door, she looked at the second uncle's family outside the door with confusion. Except for the two young children, they all came to her home today.

"Hey, second uncle, your whole family is coming over here. Say hello early. I haven't even cooked much!"

Liu Yin didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd, but she held out her hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. She blocked the door and made a joke, with no intention of letting them in.

After all, the front yard and the back yard don't have much contact with each other. Liu Yin still remembers sharing her own pork in the front yard.

"Girl from the Li family, as you said, we have eaten at home. Isn't there something that needs to be discussed with Li Feng?"

Liu Haizhong saw Liu Yin's intention and replied bravely.

Liu Yin turned back and glanced at Li Feng at the table, doubts in her eyes.

When Li Feng saw Liu Haizhong, the flesh on his face trembled as he spoke. He thought of the mutton he had just eaten and felt a little fat and greasy.

However, it seemed that he was asking for help, and he was a little confused. Why did he go to his own house when he was not at home to discuss Liu Guangqi's marriage? Could it be that he came to notify her now.

"Second uncle, just tell me what's going on. We are all busy eating!"

Li Feng has no plans to let him in for the time being. If he comes to inform Liu Guangqi of his marriage, you can leave it at the door and let Liu Yin have a meal with just two cents.

"Boss of the Li family, it's not convenient to say it at the door, do you think?"

At this time, the second aunt stood up from Liu Haizhong's side, and Li Feng walked over from the table, only to realize that except for the two who had just run away, this family was here.

Li Feng's face looked a little ugly. It didn't look like he was notifying him of his marriage. He might have come to borrow a car.

The third uncle's house opposite heard the movement in the front yard and opened the door to see what happened at the door of Li's house.

Since he didn't want to keep it public, Li Feng gave Liu Yin a wink, and Liu Yin also stepped aside and let them in.

Li Feng rushed Li Nan to the bench and gave up the bench he was sitting on to the three people who came in.

After Liu Guangqi entered the house, he looked at the furniture and furnishings in the house. It was indeed much simpler than his own home. He curled his lips inadvertently and did not show it.

The second uncle and the second aunt sniffed and seemed to smell mutton in the dishes covered on the table. They looked at each other silently. Although the Li family seemed to have fewer things, if the small pot was full of mutton, it would be a big deal. The food at home is much better.

Li Feng looked at the three men with empty hands and scratched his chin. The second uncle's temperament was not much better than that of the third uncle. How could he be willing to pluck his feathers?It seems that there is no way to find someone to do things like this.

"Hey, sister of the Li family, isn't this because our eldest son is getting married soon."

Liu Yin stood by the door and listened. She was a little reluctant to let people in just now. When the second aunt said that Liu Guangqi was getting married, she glanced at Li Feng.

"It's a good thing to get married! When will the second aunt prepare to do it? Just let me know if I can borrow a table, chair, or plates and bowls. I'll pick them up when the time comes."

Liu Yin interrupted but wanted to continue talking. The second aunt was a neighbor and had lived there for a few years. They were really asking for pots, pans, pots and pans, and she couldn't get along without using them to save face.

Liu Haizhong's two aunts looked at each other, and Liu Guangqi saw that his parents were in trouble, so he had to open his mouth.

"Auntie, in our hospital, Li Feng is the only one who bought a bicycle. I heard he also got two carts. When I get married, I'm going to pick up a bride and bring back some things. You see..."

Li Feng was originally listening patiently with his hands on his knees, but when he heard that he was thinking about his bicycle and the scooter he had just returned, he looked a little ugly.

It’s okay if you come empty-handed. It’s just like what Liu Yin said about the table and dishes, just use them as you go.Your family is quite arrogant. You always ask to borrow large items. In your previous life, you probably had to pay two when renting a wedding car.

I didn’t even say anything nice when I came. I thought that what happened last time was over. I really thought that your second uncle was the king of the mountain in the courtyard.

"There's nothing we can do about it, sister. It's been agreed that the other party must pick her up on a bicycle."

The second aunt held Liu Yin's hand with both hands and patted it while talking.If people who don't understand see this, they might think that the relationship between the two families is very good.

Liu Haizhong was on the side, listening to the relationship between the second aunt and the Li family, and touched his head uncomfortably.After all, there was a quarrel with the Li Feng family over the last meat division. Although it was not as complete as the Jia family, it was not a good look either.

"Second aunt, Li Nan rode the car yesterday and it fell and was just repaired. I'm still distressed. The cart has to be used by the neighborhood committee to store vegetables for the winter. It's not that our family won't help. Brother Guangqi, you can't discuss it with your sister-in-law's family anymore. .”

After Li Feng finished speaking with a sullen face, Liu Yin also breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Li Feng would agree impulsively. For weddings in the countryside, you can borrow small items or help. That's not how things work if you come up to borrow big items.

Liu Haizhong's face darkened, thinking that he could save face by coming to the door in person.Who knew this boy from the Li family could be so vengeful.

Liu Guangqi also looked at his father a little helplessly. It's okay now, no more trouble. There are so many families who can borrow bicycles now.

Li Feng cursed in his heart, if he really rode a shared bicycle to the bar, it would save him money.In the TV series, it was said that Liu Guangqi's family fortune was drained, but I couldn't see it at all.
