Siheyuan: Laoliu's blessing to create the strongest life

Xu Damao shuddered suddenly and waved his hands quickly.

"I'm telling you, Xu Damao, I don't want to get involved in your emotional affairs, but don't let it get to that point again. I saved you once, but I won't save you a second time."

After saying that, Li Jianxun turned and left.

Xu Damao is the kind of person who needs to be criticized, otherwise he will just get cocky.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

Xu Damao was afraid that he had made Li Jianxun unhappy, so he hurriedly made a promise.

Chapter 168 Preparations before Proposing Marriage

In the evening, after Li Jianxun sent the three of them home, he sat for a while and discussed the details of tomorrow's marriage proposal.

Ye Jianxiong and Xu Fengying made it clear that a simple ten yuan betrothal gift would be enough.

You can't give too much, the neighbors are all better off than each other.

No one wants others to live better than themselves, because if others live better than themselves, they will gossip about them.

Li Jianxun thought about it and agreed.

Anyway, both families are not short of money, so no one cares about this.

There were only candies, peanuts, melon seeds, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. left. Ye Jianxiong asked Li Jianxun to prepare them as he saw fit, and to make them as simple as possible.

Our family couldn't eat much of these things, so we shared them with our neighbors.

After the discussion, Li Jianxun drove directly to Director Yang's home.

After all, Director Yang is his nominal superior, so it is only right for him to tell him that he has something to do and cannot go to the factory for the next few days.

It was a good opportunity to inform Director Yang that he was getting married, and then ask him to tell other leaders.

It's not for the gifts from these people, it's just because of human relationships.

After being together for such a long time, it would be unreasonable not to invite them to get married.

Li Jianxun brought some fresh fruits to Director Yang's home, and his arrival surprised Director Yang.

"Hey Jianxun, why are you here at this time?"

"You came when you said you would. Why are you carrying things? Next time, tell me in advance so I can go and greet you."

Director Yang said politely, and then hurried to find tea and water.

"We've been partners for how long? Why are you being so polite?"

Li Jianxun didn't treat himself as an outsider and found a place to sit down.

Director Yang poured tea and asked his wife to find some melon seeds, candies and snacks.

"Hey, Director Yang, don't look for me anymore. I have two things to tell you this time."

"You talk, I'm listening."

Director Yang stopped busying himself and sat down to listen carefully.

"It's like this. I'm going to propose to my girlfriend's family tomorrow, and we're getting married the day after tomorrow. I'm here to tell you."

"It's just right for you to go to the factory tomorrow and tell Deputy Director Li, Lao Zhang and the others. I will send a car to pick them up and ask them to arrange the time in advance."

Director Yang stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, very surprised.

How come they got married suddenly?

There was no news at all before?

What about his niece?

"Jianxun, this is too sudden. I'm a little surprised."

Director Yang tried his best to hide the embarrassment he had just felt.

"It's a bit sudden, but I've been dating my boyfriend for quite some time, and my family is urging us to get married."

“Plus, the house has been built and renovated, so we plan to do it quickly.”

"Okay, that's great. I will definitely be there on your wedding day. You don't have to arrange a car to pick me up. I can just go with them."

Director Yang was afraid of causing trouble for Li Jianxun.

"I'd better pick you up. I plan to do it in the compound where my family lives."

"Besides, some people on that day had special identities, and the security was tight that day. You really couldn't get in if you went there by yourself."

"Oh, that's how it is."

After Li Jianxun said this, Director Yang immediately became interested.

Many people outside are curious about what the compound looks like, but only a few have been there, so no one can explain it for sure.

Now I finally have the chance to see it in real life, how can I not be interested?

Moreover, Li Jianxun invited them to his home to attend his wedding, which showed that he cared about them and that the time he had spent cultivating their relationship was worthwhile.

At the same time, he was also very curious. Even Li Jianxun said that he had a special identity. How big a figure must he be?

This kind of person is worth bragging about even if you only meet him once.

"Okay, everything will be done as you say. I will also convey them, so don't worry."

"That's one thing, and what about the other thing?"

Li Jianxun took a sip of tea and said:

"Another thing is that my eldest brother-in-law is now serving in the Sijiu City Garrison. He is a battalion commander and a down-to-earth person."

"I just thought that Yi Nian is pretty and nice, and she doesn't have a boyfriend, so I wanted to try to get them together."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang stood up again and said excitedly:

"That's great, Jianxun, the person you introduced must be good, and I'll make it happen if I say so."

It is true that when you think there is no way out, you will find a way out.

I thought the plan to become related to Li Jianxun was over, but unexpectedly there was a turn for the better.

Although she didn't marry directly to Li Jianxun and their relationship was not that close, but as the daughter-in-law of Li Jianxun's elder brother-in-law, how could he not help if she just said a word?

Director Yang clapped his hands excitedly. This must be accomplished.

Li Jianxun also saw what Director Yang was thinking and said:

"Nowadays, people value free love, so parents should not get too involved. If they like you, it's fate. If they don't, there's nothing we can do."

"If two people are forced to be together even though they don't like each other, sooner or later both of them will get hurt, which is not a good thing."

Director Yang quickly nodded in agreement.

After that, the two exchanged a few brief greetings and Li Jianxun left.

The next day, Li Jianxun got up early, which was a rare occasion.

There's nothing I can do. There are too many things to do today and they are all important things.

He first picked out the fattest pig and sheep in the miniature earth and slaughtered and cut them up.

Then he picked ten chickens and found some fresh fruits.

After loading all these into the car, Li Jianxun headed straight for the Wangfujing Building.

Time was short and the task was heavy, so Li Jianxun quickly swept through and bought everything.

Candies, melon seeds, peanuts, cloth, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. were all of better quality, and together with the ones prepared earlier, they filled up a whole cart.

On the way, he also stopped by the raw meat transit warehouse and the grain transit warehouse to export sufficient raw meat and grain, so that Xu Damao could supply them to various factories and locations.

Now there are more places to supply and the supply quantity is larger. Xu Damao definitely cannot handle it alone, so he has to find someone else.

Li Jianxun thought about the people around him and felt that his brother-in-law was a good one.

He is a family member and a down-to-earth person, but I don't know if he is willing to retire from the army and come back to do this.

Xu Damao is a bit slippery. Although Xu Damao poses zero threat to him, it is still more reassuring to let someone be responsible for such matters.

After finishing all this, Li Jianxun drove to Ye Hanzhi's house.

As soon as the car stopped, Ye Hanzhi, Ye Jianxiong and Xu Fengying heard the sound and hurried out to greet them.

When the car door opened, they saw that Li Jianxun had taken so many things again. Xu Fengying smiled and pointed at Li Jianxun.

"Look at you, Xiao Li. I asked you to keep it simple but you still made so many things. Sigh."

Li Jianxun said with a smile:

"Mom, today is a big day. It's different from usual."

"If you don't get enough, where will you put your face? I don't want people to say that the Ye family and Ye Hanzhi are not valued, haha!"

As he spoke, he took out several large bags of wedding candies from the car.

"Hanzhi, come and distribute the candy to all the uncles, aunts, grandpas and aunties. This is our wedding candy."

When Ye Hanzhi heard what Li Jianxun said, her face immediately turned red with shame.

Ye Jianxiong and Xu Fengying were also very happy and urged Ye Hanzhi to come over with a smile.

Chapter 169 Proposing marriage at home

"Ah, Director Xu, what do you mean? Wedding candy?"

A neighbor immediately grasped the key point and asked curiously.

Xu Fengying heard her neighbor asking and answered with a smile:

"Today is Xiaozhi's engagement day, great joy."

"Oh, that's incredible! Xiaozhi is already engaged."

"It's so fast. Xiaozhi has grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye."

"The Ye family has found a good son-in-law. They are really rich. Where can we find such a son-in-law?"

"When my daughter grows up, I will let her learn from Xiaozhi and find such a good son-in-law."

"Director Xu, how much is the betrothal gift? It should be quite a lot."

When someone asked about the betrothal gift, Xu Fengying responded without even thinking:

"The gift is ten dollars."

"Oh, is this true? The betrothal gift is ten yuan?"

"Director Wang, are you kidding me? Your son-in-law is the deputy director of the factory, and his monthly salary is more than 200 yuan, and you only give him 10 yuan?"

These neighbors thought the bride price would be over a hundred yuan, but they didn't expect it to be only ten yuan.

"That's not what I meant, Grandma Xiuxiu. It's true that Xiao Li is capable, but it has nothing to do with the bride price."

"We are now a new country with a new atmosphere that advocates free love. This is something the couple discussed on their own. Besides, our family doesn't care about this."

Xu Fengying is worthy of being the street director, she speaks in a very coherent manner.

"Director Xu is right. As long as the partner is promising, the betrothal gift doesn't matter."

"That's right, no matter how much money you have, it's not as good as the happiness and good life of your children."

"That's because Director Xu's son-in-law is capable of making money, so he doesn't care about this. Look at the one my daughter found, what kind of guy is that? He's lazy and doesn't do anything. I guarantee he doesn't even have ten dollars on him."

Li Jianxun and Ye Hanzhi listened to their neighbors chatting and laughing. They had to say that these people were really interesting.

"Come on, Auntie, grab a handful of candy."

Li Jianxun and Ye Hanzhi each took a large bag of sugar and began to mix it up.

"Hey, grab a handful?"

The old lady couldn’t believe it. Is this how can you distribute candy?

In the past, when good things happened in a family, everyone would get one or two pieces of candy. The adults were reluctant to eat them and would take them back to the children.

I have never seen anyone like Li Jianxun who was so easy to grab. I dare not imagine it.
