Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 174: See you again in the North
After making sufficient preparations, Wang Li boarded the train to Jizhou on the last Monday of this month.

After getting off the train, he boarded the police car that Zhao Qiang had contacted for him. Wang Li arrived at the new Longjia Village in the first two days of the month.

When Wang Li got off the car, he saw Long Zhan standing at the entrance of the village waiting for him. As soon as they met, Long Zhan came forward enthusiastically, shook Wang Li's hand and said: "I haven't seen you for two years, brother, I miss you very much. It's just a pity that my sister-in-law is pregnant and can't come to my wedding."

I originally wanted to wait until I got married, then I would take you to have a good time around here, go hunting in the mountains, my wife is also a good hunter, then our two families can go into the mountains together, just thinking about it makes me happy.

Wang Li smiled and said: I thought so too, but there is no way she is pregnant. Your sister-in-law also said that after you get married, you should go to Kyoto with me to play for a while, and let your sister-in-law see your wife.

Long Zhan was a straightforward person. After hearing Wang Li's invitation, he immediately agreed and said, "Okay! Let me discuss it with my wife. After we get married, we will go to Kyoto to take a look. I haven't been to Kyoto yet."

Wang Li said happily: Okay, brother, it’s settled. I will take you and your sister-in-law to have a good tour in Kyoto, and this will be considered as a return to your hometown for you.

After they finished talking, they walked towards the village laughing.

Long Zhan brought Wang Li to the largest courtyard in Xinlongjia Village. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted: Father and mother, look who’s here!

Hearing Long Zhan's shout, two middle-aged men in the house came out in a hurry. They were very happy to see Wang Li and said, "Wang Li is here! Come in quickly, it's time for dinner, let me show you my aunt's cooking skills."

After greeting the two elders, Wang Li walked in with a smile.

In a cheerful atmosphere, Wang Li finished his first dinner in Xinlongjia Village.

Of course, Long Zhan and his son had to urge Wang Li to drink. After all, if a northerner has guests at home and they don't drink well, it would be considered a poor treat.

The result was that the father and son fell asleep on the table again. Amid the complaints of Long Zhan's mother, they were sent back to the room, and Wang Li went to the cleaned guest room to rest.

The next morning, Wang Li still practiced martial arts with the father and son, and gave them some pointers on their kung fu.

After they finished washing up, Wang Li returned to the guest room and took out the wedding gift for Long Zhan and his wife.

The wedding gift that Wang Li gave to Long Zhan was a pair of Swiss watches. The watches were not second-hand goods that Wang Li bought at a trust store. He asked someone to help him get two watch tickets and bought new Swiss watches.

After receiving the gift, Long Zhan said very frankly: Thank you so much, Brother Wang Li, this thing is not easy to buy now.

After saying that, he put the men's watch on his hand, obviously liking this gift very much.

In this way, Wang Li lived in Long Zhan's house, and when he had nothing to do, he would help Long Zhan prepare for the wedding. Normally, the wedding of the banner people was quite complicated, especially for the nobles of the Qing Dynasty like Long Zhan's family, the etiquette was even more complicated.

Even the etiquette on his wife's side was quite complicated. But now was a new era, the whole country was engaged in construction, and extravagant weddings were not encouraged.

Therefore, the wedding is very easy and convenient to prepare, and not particularly complicated.

Soon it was Long Zhan's wedding day.

His wife is of Mongolian ethnicity and her family lives far away from here. Therefore, his wife was sent to the county guesthouse by her elders yesterday, waiting for Long Zhan to pick her up today.

Wang Li used Zhao Qiang's connections to borrow a car and a bus from the government to go to the county to get married on the wedding day.

This was already a very impressive configuration. After all, there were not many cars at that time, and all the vehicles were publicly owned. Even if you had money, you couldn't rent one.

Although their wedding was kept simple, since they are both from ethnic minorities, some ethnic customs cannot be avoided.

It was also an eye-opener for Wang Li, as he saw what traditional Manchu and Mongolian weddings looked like, and they were weddings of the nobles of the two ethnic groups.

After getting up the next day, Wang Li saw his new wife’s face for the first time when she served tea to her parents-in-law.

He found that this girl had very fair skin, was not tall but very beautiful. Wang Li could feel that her breathing was very steady and her steps were firm. Obviously, she was also a kung fu master.

Another thing is that Long Zhan’s wife has very strong mental power, which is much weaker than Wang Li’s, but much higher than that of ordinary people.

After Long Zhan’s wife served tea to her parents, Long Zhan brought his wife to Wang Li and introduced him: Brother Wang Li is from Kyoto, he is my good friend.

Long Zhan’s wife greeted Wang Li: Hello, Brother Wang Li. Thank you for coming from afar to attend my wedding with Long Zhan.

Long Zhan interrupted and said: Don't be fooled by the fact that Brother Wang Li looks delicate and like a scholar. In fact, Brother Wang Li is very good at kung fu, much better than my father. When he is free, let him teach you kung fu, you will gain a lot.

His wife showed a shocked expression. She had also practiced martial arts for many years, but she did not find any trace of Wang Li knowing martial arts.

It can be seen that Wang Li's strength has reached the level of returning to nature, not to mention that Wang Li is not much older than her.
