Siheyuan: The Days of Happy Life

"This guy seems to be here to propose marriage? I wonder which family's daughter has such a blessing!"

An older aunt looked at Li Guoqiang curiously.

After all, not many people can ride bicycles in this era.

And Li Guoqiang brought a lot of things, including pork, fish, beef, etc.

Most people would not be so generous when meeting at the bride's house.

"She seems to be the daughter of the old Zhou family. This girl is very lucky. This young man seems to be generous at first sight. I will definitely not suffer any loss if she marries her!"

Another well-informed lady spoke up.

Then a group of people followed Li Guoqiang, wanting to see if Li Guoqiang went to Zhou Meiling's house.

By the time Li Guoqiang and Aunt Wang arrived at Zhou Meiling's house, there were already many neighbors watching the excitement.

"Are all the neighbors here so hospitable?" Li Guoqiang was a little surprised.

"You don't know, these neighbors in Xianghe Courtyard like to watch happy events, so they can feel happy! Lao Zhou, I brought Guoqiang here!"

Aunt Wang said with a smile, and then shouted to the people in the house.

"Hey! Aunt Wang is here! Come in, come in, Meiling and her dad are inside!"

I saw a woman in her forties coming out of the house.

The woman has a simple smile and a strong waist, and she looks like she often works hard at home.

After Zhou Meiling's mother came out, Yinguang quickly fell on Li Guoqiang.

I saw that Li Guoqiang was tall and strong. He was pushing a 28-year-old man with all kinds of meats on the back. He also had a watch on his hand, so he looked like the desired son-in-law.

Suddenly the smile became even thicker.

"Quick, sit inside, sit inside!" Meiling's mother kept calling Li Guoqiang and Aunt Wang into the house.

Although they haven't spoken to each other yet, Meiling's mother is very satisfied with Li Guoqiang.

Then Li Guoqiang parked his bicycle, took off all the meat on it, and walked in with Aunt Wang.

In the room, Zhou Meiling was sitting obediently, with several relatives beside her.

Among them was a middle-aged bald man, who was Zhou Meiling's father. Surrounded by his older grandparents were his grandparents, and several uncles and uncles were watching.

Pairs of eyes were constantly looking at Li Guoqiang.

"Auntie, uncle, this is something I brought for home, please keep it first!" Li Guoqiang handed the meat to Meiling's mother one by one.

This made her smile from ear to ear.

This much meat, plus the melon seeds and toffee, would probably cost seven or eight pieces!

This is a big deal!

"Come just come! You brought so many things! You're too polite!" Meiling's mother put away the things one by one after collecting them.

Every time you place something, you have to report it again.

It seemed that he was telling the neighbors who were watching outside, wanting them to know that they had found a good son-in-law who was brave and generous.

This can also give them a long face.

"That's right. Meiling will definitely not live with me in the future!" Li Guoqiang responded with a smile.

Zhou Meiling on the side couldn't help but blush when she heard this.

He is very optimistic about Li Guoqiang. There are not many people as good as Li Guoqiang.

After being polite, Zhou Meiling's father spoke.

I saw him take a sip of tea and say: "Guoqiang! Are you the only one in your family now?"

"Yes, uncle. My father never came back after he went to the battlefield. My mother also passed away due to illness. I am the only one in the family! That's why I asked Aunt Wang to come with me. If uncle has any request, I can make the decision by myself.

!”

Father Zhou asked a simple question, but Li Guoqiang answered it very seriously.

Father Zhou nodded, "It's not easy for you either. The work must be very hard, right?"

"It's hard work, but it's all for the country! Now I've been promoted to level six welder. If there is a chance later, I will try to run for team leader. Then I will have more time with Meiling." Li Guoqiang said, "Five-ten."

answer.

"Young people are indeed very motivated. What did you say? You were promoted to level six welder? I heard Aunt Wang say it wasn't level five?" Zhou's father was mid-sentence when he was suddenly startled.

"Yes, I just passed the exam yesterday! Now it's Level 6!" Li Guoqiang said with a smile.

Father Zhou and the others have been working for most of their lives, but they know how difficult it is to be promoted.

Unexpectedly, Li Guoqiang, who is less than 30 years old, has been promoted to level 6 welder. The salary is more than 60 yuan a month!

I'm afraid it will only get higher in the future.

Thinking of this, Father Zhou took out a cigarette and prepared to calm down his shock.

Li Guoqiang took out a match and lit it.

Then he ordered one for himself as a companion.

Although he doesn't smoke much, smoking with Zhou's father can bring the two of them closer.

As Zhou's father chatted with Li Guoqiang, the Zhou family got to know Li Guoqiang better and better. It can be said that this child is constantly improving himself.

A person relies on his own efforts to go from having nothing to being able to eat and drink well now.

He also rode a bicycle that others envied. How many people can do this?

"Okay, I don't have any objections, as long as you two live a good life!"

After Zhou's father understood Li Guoqiang's basic information, he was very satisfied with Li Guoqiang.

Those who have endured hardship will definitely know how to love others.

His daughter will never feel wronged after marrying Li Guoqiang.

"Hey, just look for it. Li Guoqiang is one of the most outstanding young men in the Red Star Courtyard. He will definitely not wrong Meiling in the future!" Aunt Wang also said in support.

If she hadn't figured out Li Guoqiang's background at the beginning, she would have wanted to introduce her niece.

Such outstanding young people are rare!

A sixth-level welder with good qualifications and no financial burden from his family. It is difficult to find another one in the surrounding streets and alleys.

"Aunt Wang, I need to thank you more for this! You have to make time for the wedding banquet when the time comes!" Li Guoqiang said with a smile.

If it weren't for Aunt Wang, how could he possibly know such a good girl like Zhou Meiling.

As long as Zhou Meiling's parents agree, it's basically a done deal.

The next step is to collect the certificate and set up the banquet.

After following a set of procedures, we, Mr. Li, now have a wife.

"Come on, come on! I will definitely come when the time comes!"

Aunt Wang was also smiling from ear to ear. How much money could she get from being her matchmaker?

If you don’t come for the wedding banquet, won’t the matchmaker’s money be lost?

"Uncle, what about the bride price?"

Li Guoqiang planned to negotiate all these, so as not to cause conflicts later if the arrangements were not suitable.

"Mother Meiling, tell me!" Zhou's father handed over the matter of how much gift he should give to Zhou's mother.

According to Zhou's father's wishes, there is no need to give it.

For such an outstanding young man to marry his daughter, as long as he treats Meiling well, he will definitely help her if she encounters difficulties in the future.

If the bride price is too high now, the other party may not be happy.

He yelled so low that it seemed like his daughter was cheap. If not, Li Guoqiang still owed him a favor.

"You are the head of the family, you go ahead!" Meiling's mother didn't know what to say, so she still pushed it to Zhou's father.

"According to my point of view, I am marrying my daughter, not selling my daughter. As long as you treat Meiling well, that is better than anything else! No need for a bride price!"

Father Zhou looked at Li Guoqiang intently.

Hearing Zhou's father's words, Li Guoqiang was surprised and moved at the same time.

How many sensible parents are there?

If we were in the 21st century, we wouldn't be able to ask you for hundreds of thousands and ask your family to empty out four wallets?

"Uncle, don't worry. If I don't love my own wife, who will I love? I will never wrong Meiling even a little bit in the future. Meiling will not be hungry if I have a bite to eat!" Li Guoqiang promised.
