Siheyuan: The Days of Happy Life

She believed that his man's words should not be wrong.

After dinner, Li Guoqiang took Zhou Meiling out, intending to fulfill his promise last night.

That is to buy a bicycle as a gift to Zhou’s father.

This will make it easier for them to go to work, and it will also give them some face.

The two came to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Li Guoqiang asked Zhou Meiling to choose a bicycle.

After all, it's not his use.

As long as Zhou Meiling likes it, he will be responsible for paying and issuing tickets.

After choosing for a while, Zhou Meiling fell in love with the Phoenix brand style.

"How much does it cost?"

Zhou Meiling asked the salesperson in a low voice, if it was too expensive, she would not dare to take it.

"This one is 198 yuan!" the salesperson responded simply.

This shocked Zhou Meiling.

No wonder every household can't afford a bicycle. It turns out that a bicycle costs almost 200 yuan.

If she had to earn this money, she might not be able to save it even if she saves it for five years.

And you also need a bicycle ticket, which you can’t even buy if you have money and don’t have a bicycle ticket.

"Guoqiang, isn't this too expensive? Why don't we buy it now?" Zhou Meiling hesitated.

After all, this is not a small amount of money.

She was worried that Li Guoqiang would be under great pressure since he bought them.

"Buy it, why not buy it? I have to thank my parents for being able to marry such a good wife like you. Why don't I buy a bicycle to honor them?"

Li Guoqiang insisted on buying it, but Zhou Meiling couldn't help but refuse. Finally, she paid for it and handed over the bicycle ticket.

The salesperson did not hesitate and issued a series of tickets for the bicycles.

Zhou Meiling was so happy when she got the bicycle.

Although she doesn't know how to ride a bicycle yet, she smiles when she thinks that her father will be much more relaxed at work in the future.

This smile made Li Guoqiang look a little crazy.

Girls of this era are good, easily satisfied, frugal and energetic.

Then Li Guoqiang went to buy a large bag of wedding candies, planning to give some away when he went to Zhou's father and mother's house.

I'll post some when I go back to the courtyard.

Otherwise, those beasts in the courtyard didn't get the wedding wine, not even the wedding candy, and they would probably have to blame him again.

"Isn't this Zhou Meiling and her man? Did she buy another bicycle?"

When Li Guoqiang and Zhou Meiling first arrived at Xianghe Courtyard, many neighbors saw the couple.

An older woman's eyes widened.

In this era, bicycles are a status symbol, and most people cannot buy them.

"The Zhou family really found a good son-in-law this week! They even bought two bicycles! He is really promising!"

Another person also echoed.

Soon Li Guoqiang and Zhou Meiling arrived at her parents' house.

When Zhou's mother heard that the bicycle was for Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, she was shocked.

"How can this make this bicycle go more than 100 meters fast? You can just use it. The old man and I are too old to know how to use it!" Zhou's mother refused.

But I was very happy in my heart.

It seems that the old man was right not to ask for Li Guoqiang's gift.

The betrothal gift is only one or twenty yuan at most, but this bicycle is worth one or two hundred yuan!

Since Zhou's father went to work, she was the only one at home.

Neighbors who have free time come over to watch the fun.

Maybe you can even mix it with some wedding candy.

"Mom, this is Guoqiang's wish, just accept it! We won't be able to be with you all the time in the future, so it will be more convenient for you to go out." Zhou Meiling said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!"

Seeing that Zhou Meiling and Li Guoqiang couldn't resist their persistence, Zhou's mother had no choice but to agree.

"Xiao Cui, your family has really found a good son-in-law. I heard that sending meat to your mother-in-law's house is considered generous. This time, they even gave you a bicycle, which is so rare."

Among the neighbors, an older grandmother in her seventies said with a smile.

"Grandma Fugui, you are right! It is so hard to find a son-in-law like Guoqiang now. It is also my daughter who is lucky. We can rest assured living with him!" Mother Zhou smiled from ear to ear.

No need to think that this matter will be spread out tomorrow, and they will be able to follow Li Guoqiang and take advantage of it.

After all, families with bicycles are so rare nowadays.

Li Guoqiang saw that many neighbors came, and they all gave out wedding candies.

The neighbors were very kind and congratulated me constantly.

After staying in Xianghe Compound for a while, Li Guoqiang saw that it was getting late and the workers in the steel rolling mill were getting off work one after another.

I left Xianghe Courtyard with Zhou Meiling and returned to the Siheyuan.

The third uncle saw Zhou Meiling coming back with Li Guoqiang and rushed over immediately.

"Guoqiang, is this your wife? Have you received the certificate? Isn't it time to send us wedding candies?"

Yan Bugui has been waiting for a long time to eat the wedding candy.

They have a large family, so Li Guoqiang had to give out more wedding candies.

"Third uncle, I have already received the certificate. Of course, you will not be missing any wedding candies!"

Li Guoqiang was in a happy mood and took out the wedding candies and gave Yan Bugui five of them.

“More, I’ll have more family!”

Yan Bugui put the wedding candy into his pocket and continued unsatisfied.

Li Guoqiang didn't bother with him. How much are a few wedding candies worth? It was just a celebration.

Then the third aunt, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi's brother and sister also ran out.

Children all like to eat sweets, and when they see sweets to eat, they immediately start shouting.

Li Guoqiang gave each of them three pills.

"Thank you, Brother Guoqiang! This kid!" Yan Bugui patted Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiekuang immediately said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Guoqiang."

Afterwards, after giving out wedding candies to several neighbors in the front yards, Li Guoqiang came to the middle courtyard.

Although Li Guoqiang doesn't like the old man.

But Yi Zhonghai is also an elder after all, so it would be unreasonable not to give them to him, so he sent wedding candies to Yi Zhonghai and his aunt.

"I also want!"

Not far away, Banggan saw Li Guoqiang handing out wedding candy. He also ran over and reached out to ask for it.

Li Guoqiang directly ignored him.

This white-eyed wolf gave him nothing to eat.

"Uncle Li, Xiaodang wants to eat sweets!"

In the corner not far away, Xiaodang said pitifully. Her life at home was much worse than Banggeng. She didn't wear as many clothes as Banggeng in the winter, and her nose was so cold that her nose ran.

"Come on, Xiaodang, I'll give you some candy!"

Li Guoqiang grabbed a few wedding candies, and there were five or six of them, and placed them in Xiaodang's hand.

This boy also had a hard life. He was born into the Jia and Zhang family and never lived a good life.

Jia Zhang called her a loser every day.

Xiaodang was still young and didn't know what a money-losing product was. She just felt uncomfortable when her grandma scolded her.

So even if Li Guoqiang doesn't give Banggan wedding candy, Xiaodang still plans to give some.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, this toffee is so sweet!"

After receiving the wedding candies, Xiaodang immediately peeled one off and stuffed it into his mouth.

Suddenly I felt as sweet as sugar in my heart.

If she doesn't eat it now, grandma will probably take all the candy away from her if she sees it later.

In the end, it was all left to Banggeng to eat.

"Xiao Dang is so good!"

Li Guoqiang touched Xiaodang's head, smiled and walked away.

Banggeng saw that he had made an empty bed, and ran back home unhappy, "Grandma, grandma, I want some candy. Xiaodang has candy but I don't have any!"

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, she immediately opened the curtain and walked out.

I found out that every household in the compound indeed had wedding candies to eat, but his family's stick sticks and mine didn't have any, and I immediately became very angry.

"Li Guoqiang, the damned father and mother, knows how to bully us because we don't have a man in the family. He doesn't even know how to give some candy to my little dog so he can eat it alone without fear of getting a stomachache? Be careful not to give birth to a son in the future!"

Jia Zhang stood at the door and cursed.

Then he snatched all the candies from Xiaodang's hand and said, "You lose money, you still know how to eat it, but don't you know how to leave some for your brother?"

"Grandma, my uncle gave this to me! Xiaodang wants to eat it!"

All the candies in Xiaodang's hand were snatched away by Jia Zhang, but luckily there was one in his mouth.

If I hadn't eaten so fast just now, I probably wouldn't even know what sugar tastes like.

"This Jia Zhang family doesn't know how to be virtuous. It's not like she didn't give the wedding candy given to others for their wedding."

"That's right, isn't it always true that you give more or less to others? She just doesn't like other people's good things! She will scold others with her bad mouth!"

"I have never seen such a shameless person. She lives in our compound and is like a rat in our compound."

"For a white-eyed wolf like her, it's all for nothing if you feed her!"

"..."

When the neighbors heard what Jia Zhang said, they kept criticizing her.

However, Jia Zhang disagreed.
