Chapter 432: Delicious Food, Everyone Wants to Take a Bite

It was October 1st of the Western calendar in 1984, and it was the seventh day of the ninth lunar month.

Taboo: opening, starting construction, installing doors, opening, opening the market,

Suitable for: moving, moving into a house, traveling, praying for blessings, receiving gifts, getting married, and moving.

Lanterns with the word "happy" were hung at the entrance of the courtyard of Zaojun Temple a day in advance, and after Li Zhongfa held a banquet in Qingshui County, he brought a large group of relatives and friends of the Li family to come and see Li Yue out.

The courtyard of Zaojun Temple, which had always been quiet, suddenly seemed to have three more swallows' nests, and it was very lively with its chirping.

A junior like Li Ye would naturally be surrounded by orders at this time, doing what he wanted to do endlessly.

Not only was it already midnight, but I had to take my two sisters, Li Juan and Li Ying, to follow the rules of Dongshan and put red paper on the trees and manhole covers around the yard.

This rule and custom is popular in many places in the north. Before sunrise on the wedding day, people follow the chosen wedding route and press the manhole cover with red paper to suppress the bad luck.

Because in ancient times, there were easy souls in this "well", so talismans were used to ward off evil spirits. However, after evolution, red paper was used instead.

Li Juan carried the glue bucket to apply the paste, and Li Ying held a flashlight to provide lighting. The two girls helped Li Ye stick up the red paper while whispering little information.

"Brother, originally grandma didn't let my eldest aunt come this time, but she insisted on coming, and she also brought her eldest uncle. The day before yesterday, grandma scolded her for being wishful thinking, and warned her sternly not to talk to you and your sister. You It didn’t look like she was holding back just now.”

"That's right. I heard my grandma say that even though my eldest uncle is still a figure in the county, he is eighteen levels behind the Central Selection Department in the capital. Isn't this a delusion?"

"My aunt is still qualified for her wishful thinking, but those uncles and uncles also want to come with her. Grandpa didn't agree and even blocked the door of our house and scolded us for a long time."

"That's right, they originally arranged for their children to work as construction workers in an instant noodle factory, but in the end they all ran home feeling dirty and tired.

Now that Uncle Xiaoman has become a team leader and earns seventy or eighty yuan a month, he regrets it and wants to come back. The whole family is not satisfied with having a meal with only two yuan, and they have to follow him to the capital for two yuan. Do you have enough money for a ride? "

The two sisters saw that there was no one else around, so they kept talking to each other about the affairs of their hometown.

Aunt Li Mingyue and uncle Cui Zhixian have always looked down upon Li Kaijian, let alone the fool Li Ye and the dazzling Li Yue.

But now! hey-hey.

When he saw that Yang Yumin had entered the Central Election Department, Cui Zhixian, who had just been transferred from the countryside to the county, became hot-eyed and thought that it was not too late to make up for the situation, wasn't it?

But Li Ye knew his sister Li Yue's temper. After his eldest aunt insisted on introducing her to that college student who went to Hebin Township for gold-plating, Cui Zhixian's idea that "there was someone in the court who could be easily managed" would no longer be possible. Achieved.

It's good if I don't step on you, but you still want my family to support you? Are you the kind of person who repays kindness?

There are some people in the world who have kind thoughts and value family ties, such as my sister-in-law Li Mingxiang’s family, Li Dayong’s family, Jin Peng’s family, etc.

But there are also some people who have a "heroic attitude". They would rather let the world down than let the world down me. As long as there is an opportunity to climb up, no matter who she is, they must take advantage of it.

If Li Ye hadn't come out of nowhere, maybe my sister Li Yue would have been introduced to that junior college student!

"Brother, look there's a car coming."

Li Juan, who was carrying the paste bucket, suddenly pointed to the entrance of the alley.

Li Ye looked at the familiar car lights and knew it was Pei Wenhui's little BMW.

The little BMW stopped next to Li Ye. The first person to get off was Pei Wencong, then Pei Wenhui and Fu Yiruo.

Pei Wencong smiled and said, "What are Mr. Li busy with?"

Li Ye raised the red paper in his hand and said: "It is a custom in Dongshan that red paper presses the manhole cover to drive away evil spirits but obscure the light."

Pei Wencong said in surprise: "Is there still such a custom in Dongshan? This is the first time I know about it. This time I have learned a lot."

Li Ye looked at Pei Wencong and said pointedly: "You will surely gain a lot of experience when you come to the capital this time!"

Pei Wencong cupped his hands and said sincerely: "It's all thanks to Mr. Li's blessing. If I hadn't met Mr. Li, I don't know if my literary club would have been able to survive. Where would it be today?"

Pei Wencong was telling the truth. When he received Li Ye's call, he had already sold his old Toyota to collect printing expenses.

But now, in just three years, he has already moved to a mansion on the top of the mountain. The wealthy people will call him "Pei Sheng" when they see him.

In early September, Li Ye ordered Pei Wencong to make a lot of preparations. At that time, Pei Wencong didn't know why, but when the news of the joint statement came out on September 26, even if Pei Wencong didn't know what was going on, his bank account I'll also tell him what's going on.

I don’t know how many times this has happened over the years.

What's more, after dawn today, Pei Wencong will still be qualified to watch the National Day Ceremony. Think about those so-called big guys, do they have this qualification?

So how could Pei Wencong forget this kindness? How dare you forget?

"Old Pei Qian is out of touch when he says this," Li Ye said very kindly: "Help is always mutual. If you rely on my blessing, won't I also lend you your help? Let's not talk about this. That’s it.”

"Hahaha, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Mr. Li is looking up to me. I'm going to say hello to Mr. Li, and let Xiaohui help you here!"

Pei Wencong was of course very happy after hearing what Li Ye said, and then he wanted Pei Wenhui to stay and help Li Ye put up the manhole cover while he went to see Li Zhongfa.

Because he was going to attend the National Day ceremony tomorrow morning, he would not be able to attend Li Yue's wedding, so he came over in advance to express his gratitude.

But Li Ye looked at Pei Wenhui and Fu Yiruo next to her, and said with a smile: "You are not suitable for this job. My sister is worried about how to put on makeup! You two go over and help her give her ideas."

"Oh oh oh, I know a little bit about makeup."

"I know a little bit too."

Pei Wenhui and Li Ye winked, pulled Fu Yiruo and walked inside.

In the darkness, Fu Yiruo saw Li Ye waving to them and naturally understood what it meant.

Today, Fu Yiruo came here under the same status as an "overseas compatriot" like Pei Wenhui, and she had the responsibility to replace her mother, Fu Guiru, in sending her sister off to get married.

After a few people left, the little sister Li Ying asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Brother, what is makeup?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "You are still young, so don't ask this. When you are old enough, you will know what makeup is."

In the end, Li Juan curled her lips and said: "Make-up means applying rouge and powder. I always feel that my sister looks better with makeup than without makeup!"

Li Ye smiled and said nothing, saying in his heart that it was because you have never seen the power of the "four major evil arts in Asia".

Li Yue is indeed very beautiful without makeup, but if she can wear makeup correctly, she will definitely be more beautiful.

. . . . . . . . .

At around five o'clock in the morning, when a hint of fish belly white just appeared on the horizon, the Yang family's wedding team arrived.

Compared with the three aunts and six wives on Li Ye's side, the composition of the Yang family's team seemed too simple. Except for Li, the leader of the Youth League Committee of Beijing University, the rest were all Yang Yumin's classmates.

Li Huaisheng is Yang Yumin's best man today. He has the loudest voice when it comes to making noise at the door, and he has a talent for the atmosphere group as he is a smooth talker.

Of course, the Li family is not the kind of family that would block the door and show the payment code, and not let you see the bride until they take out all your loans and gold bars.

So after the two little sisters, Li Juan and Li Ying, made a few small red envelope jokes, they naturally opened the door.

Then a group of Yang Yumin's classmates rushed in, clamoring to see what the bride looked like.

In fact, things like making trouble in the wedding ceremony have become much more civilized now, but it is impossible to completely ban it across the board. As long as everyone has a sense of proportion, it doesn't matter if they make a few jokes.

As a result, when we met this time, everyone called him a good guy.

Among these classmates, only Li Huaisheng had met Li Yue, and the rest had never met him at all. Now that he saw it, Yang Yumin was married to a fairy!

"Oh, when I first looked at Madam-in-law, I thought this dress was extremely bright. But when I looked at it again, Lao Yang, how many lifetimes have you been blessed with?"

"Lao Yang, what kind of fate do you have? Why didn't I see that you still had such luck when you were in school?"

"Well, most people can't see this kind of luck. They are all holding it back to do big things honestly."

"."

Everyone laughed and praised Li Yue for a long time, which made the Li family feel proud.

After all, Yang Yumin is a graduate of Peking University and has also entered the selection committee. If Li Yue doesn't have some absolute advantages to stand out, wouldn't it make people feel that he is not a good match?

It's just that a group of classmates made the atmosphere very lively, but Li Ye always felt that there was a hint of obvious sadness in the corners of Yang Yumin's eyes.

Li Ye pulled Yang Yumin aside and asked in a low voice: "Did you not sleep well? What day is it today? Why are you not energetic?"

Yang Yumin pursed his lips, sighed suddenly, and said something that shocked Li Ye for several seconds.

It turns out that Yang Yumin's biological parents arrived in the capital last night.

Li Ye heard about Yang Yumin from his sister Li Yue and knew that he was a child adopted by Yang Huaihua, so he took his mother's surname of Yang.

But Li Ye didn't know that Yang Yumin's biological father and mother would appear today.

Yang Yumin gritted his teeth and said anxiously: "Actually, after I was admitted to college, they wanted to take me back, but I scolded them back.

I was only three months old when my mother picked me up. I had not yet been weaned. I only had one breath left.

I don’t know how hard my mother has gone through raising me. I brought my mother to the capital because I wanted to cut off contact with my hometown.”

Seeing that Yang Yumin, a grown man, started wiping away tears, Li Ye quickly said: "Don't shed tears on a day like today. Please tell me in detail first. You can't hide it from me anymore! Today my sister If you get married and lose her, I will definitely beat you up."

"."

Hearing that Li Ye wanted to help him discuss countermeasures, Yang Yumin felt a little ashamed, but he still told Li Ye the ins and outs of Yang Huaihua's adoption.

It turns out that Yang Huaihua's husband died in the war with the White Elephant in 1962. Yang Huaihua gritted her teeth and did not remarry. She served her elderly parents-in-law and provided for them until they died.

It was at the end of the natural disaster, and you can imagine how difficult life was. Moreover, a woman had no children, so living in the countryside was not an option.

At this moment, Yang Huaihua picked up Yang Yumin who was thrown at the door.

When there are too many people in the family and there is not enough to eat, the first to be abandoned are actually the children who are least likely to be fed, and the elderly who have lost the ability to work.

"This time my mother wrote a letter asking two aunts who are very good to me to come over and make me a quilt. She didn't say that I was getting married, but somehow the news leaked out."

"."

"If they don't come to recognize you sooner or later, MLGB will come to recognize you on your wedding day? What the hell?"

After listening to Yang Yumin's explanation, Li Ye couldn't help but curse.

Yang Yumin grew up, but Yang Huaihua raised him alone, and it was especially difficult when he went to high school. But in the past ten years, Yang Yumin's biological parents have never appeared.

This is like an old farmer accidentally planting a crop in his neighbor's field. When he was watering, fertilizing, pulling weeds and repelling insects, the neighbor didn't say a word, but when the grain matured in the fall, the neighbor jumped out and wanted a share of the benefits. .

Yang Yumin also said angrily: "I also think they are nothing, but the leader of our unit is here today. You said I can't beat or scold me?"

"You can't hit or scold me? I still can't hit or scold you?"

Li Ye cursed, and then said: "Don't worry about it. Don't say anything today. You can vent your anger on my sister first, and I'll go find Grandpa to discuss it."

Yang Yumin suddenly hesitated: "Do you still need to trouble grandpa?"

Li Ye said: "Grandpa has to come forward to deal with this matter. Otherwise, if someone tries to suppress our seniority, I won't be able to handle it."

"."

According to Dongshan's rules, grandpa will definitely not go with a girl when she is getting married, but today's situation is special, so Li Ye has no choice but to move out the giant Buddha of Li Zhongfa.

After Li Zhongfa listened to Li Ye's narration, he was not too surprised. He had seen a lot of things in his life.

Even Li Ye's aunt and uncle are looking at Yang Yumin and want to take a bite. How can his own father and mother miss it?

Li Zhongfa met Wu Juying, and then called over the twelve "see-off guests" who had sent Li Yue over today.

"This kid has had a hard life since he was a child, and now he's suddenly successful. It's normal to be a little troublesome. No one is allowed to laugh at me later, you know?"

Wu Juying also said fiercely: "After today, you must have a sharp look and be measured. The leader of the bridegroom Guan'er is present. You can't be laughed at, but you can't be bullied either."

At this time, Li Kaijian could not be regarded as the "commander-in-chief", so he could only appoint two younger ones.

"Xiaojuan Xiaoying, after you two follow us, stay by your sister's side and never allow those two old guys to get close. If they come here to do something evil, you cry, cry hard."

"."

Then he said to Li Ye: "Today you are sending your sister off to the wedding. According to the rules, you must sit at the banquet. When you sit at the banquet, you must have the style of a banquet. Put on your stupid airs and show them your shameless face."

"."

"Hey, I understand dad."

Li Ye couldn't help but touched his nose and nodded in agreement.

If you want to act arrogant, why do you think it's not the same thing as if you're being called a fool and act arrogantly?
