Chapter 365 You Can't Turn Your Elbow Outward

Li Ye told several friends in the Lonely Army Literary Society about Aqiang's marriage.

They had discussed the comic book "Hometown Lonely Army" with Aqiang for a long time, so they immediately decided to attend Aqiang's wedding together.

But when everyone arrived at the courtyard house that Aqiang bought in Beijing, they were all very surprised.

Li Ye was surprised because A Qiang bought a house near Beier Tiao, not far from Wang Jianqiang and Huang Gang's homes.

【What a coincidence. 】

There is a big willow tree at the gate of this courtyard. Li Ye seems to remember that the original family's surname was Guan, and the neighbors called him Uncle Guan Er. He had a set of Ming Dynasty official kiln pots in his hands, which finally fell into Li Ye's hands.

The other students were surprised because they felt Huo Renqiang's generosity.

"Li Ye, has Mr. Huo settled down in Beijing? Look at the yard he bought, it's big and spacious, and he also renovated most of the house. It must have cost a lot of money."

"Why call me Mr. Huo? Everyone used to call me Aqiang. It's strange that you call me that now."

"Hey, I called him Ah Qiang at that time because I felt that there was not much difference between us. Now look. Tsk tsk tsk. Calling him Ah Qiang again, isn't that disrespectful?"

A Qiang not only renovated Uncle Guan Er's house, but also made a lot of Chinese-style decorations for today's wedding. It was full of Chinese red, exuding a sense of joy and grandeur.

Li Ye smiled and said to everyone, "You should just call him Ah Qiang to avoid any estrangement. His Mr. Huo is for outsiders. We are all friends, right?"

"Li Ye, you are wrong. Today we are all outsiders because there is only one 'insider', hahahaha."

"Yes, yes, we are all outsiders, hahahaha."

Everybody was chatting and laughing, and no one really treated Aqiang as an outsider. Even the name Mr. Huo was more of a teasing one.

Aqiang has been with everyone for more than half a month and has a very good relationship with them. Otherwise, even if he was rich, these students from Peking University would not come.

With a burst of firecrackers, the bride was finally brought back.

The moment Pan Xiaoqing got off the car, all the women around Li Ye exclaimed in unison.

"Is she wearing ancient clothes?"

"No, what she wore is called a wedding dress. I saw it in Xiushui Street, but her hair was done up really well."

"Did you only look at her clothes? Look at her hands and neck, they are all gold."

“.”

In Hong Kong Island, many traditional things are preserved, especially in weddings, but there is no such thing as "keep everything simple in the new era".

As for the gold jewelry on the bride, it should be a dowry given by the bride's relatives, but Li Ye thinks that it was probably added by the groom A Qiang, after all, gold bracelets are popular at weddings in Hong Kong Island!

After the new bride enters the house, there is a set of rules and procedures, such as worshiping heaven and earth, and worshiping parents.

Because Aqiang came from an orphanage and had no parents, Pei Wencong was the only one who was pushed up.

Pei Wencong was really busy today. He had to accompany Aqiang to welcome the bride as the eldest brother, and he also had to accept the kneeling worship of Aqiang and Pan Xiaoqing in the name of "eldest brother is like father".

"Hey, look, Pan Xiaoqing really knelt down to Mr. Pei~"

When Pan Xiaoqing really knelt down, everyone sighed.

But when Pei Wencong took out a stack of thousand-yuan bills and gave it to Pan Xiaoqing as money for changing her name, everyone stopped sighing and were all stunned by Pei Wencong's generosity.

One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, earning Pan Xiaoqing to call me "big brother", just tell me if it's a loss or not!

A Qiang cried loudly, speaking in Cantonese, which made everyone around him confused.

Li Ye sighed and began to translate for everyone.

"Aqiang said that when he came out of the orphanage, he had no eyes for heaven or earth, only life. As long as others gave him a chance to live, he would do whatever he wanted. He almost went astray."

"Later, Aqiang met Pei Wencong and asked him to work as a clerk in his company. Pei Wencong was still very poor at that time. There were only three people in the company, including the boss."

"At first, Aqiang was not willing to pay attention to Pei Wencong. He felt that Pei Wencong was meddling in his affairs. He, Aqiang, had never been taken care of since he was a child. Why should he be taken care of by someone from another family when he grows up?"

"But then one day, when it was time to pay wages, Pei Wencong had no money. He sold all his mother's jewelry and never owed Aqiang a day's salary.

From then on, although Ah Qiang still quarreled with Pei Wencong frequently, he already regarded him as his elder brother in his heart."

Li Ye's translation was not a word-for-word "simultaneous translation", but more like a summary description. However, no one doubted the authenticity of his translation, because as A Qiang was speaking, Pei Wencong also started crying.

For a moment, the scene was very touching. After all, many brothers could not do what Pei Wencong did.

And a few people who were attentive also heard the hidden meaning in Li Ye's words.

Although Aqiang has no father or mother, he was a "company veteran" before Pei Wencong became successful, and he also regards Pei Wencong as his elder brother, so we can't really treat him as an orphan with no one to rely on.

Look at Pan Xiaoqing’s excited eyes. I guess she is already shouting in her heart, “I have really good taste.”

After paying respects to their parents, everyone started to take their seats, and Pei Wencong also found Li Ye.

"Mr. Li, you just praised me to the skies. I'm so ashamed."

"Did I praise you? Isn't what I said true? If all bosses in the world were like you, it would be a blessing."

"Mr. Li, thank you for the compliment."

Li Ye's remarks just now did praise Pei Wencong too much, but what Li Ye said was indeed true.

Pei Wencong may not be a perfect good person, but at least he has a conscience.

"Mr. Li, I just received news that our new production line has arrived at Pengcheng Wharf and will be put into production soon. In addition."

Pei Wencong looked around and whispered, "In addition, Ms. Fu informed me that she will enter from Pengcheng next week to participate in the commissioning of the production line and the operation of Pengcheng Red Bull."

“.”

Li Ye was stunned and asked, "Did she tell you in person?"

Pei Wencong nodded and said, "Yes, I helped her with the entry procedures."

Li Ye nodded slowly: "I understand, don't tell anyone else yet."

"I understand, Mr. Li. I have something to do first, so I won't bother you anymore."

Pei Wencong found an excuse to leave, leaving Li Ye there in deep thought.

Fu Guiru talked to Li Ye on the phone a few days ago and expressed her desire to return to the mainland, but did not say a specific time.

Now it seems that she is actually quite anxious.

But when she comes back, will the house be in chaos?

It’s such a headache!

. . . . . .

After eating and drinking, Li Yeben planned to go back with his classmates, but was stopped by Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang had been to Hong Kong Island and was familiar with Aqiang. Now that they were neighbors, it was natural for him to come over and drink.

"Brother, why don't you ask Lao Song to help Aqiang and prevent him from being cheated."

Li Ye was surprised and asked, "Cheated? What did you cheat about?"

Wang Jianqiang pointed to a banquet that had not yet ended and said, "Look, that's Uncle Guan Er. I just heard from Ah Qiang that he has an ancestral heirloom to sell, but if he really has something good, would he really need to sell his house?"

"Second Master Guan?"

Li Ye looked in the direction Wang Jianqiang pointed and saw Uncle Guan Er.

"Why did Uncle Guan sell the house to Aqiang? Why is he selling antiques now?"

"Uncle Guan Er cheated a foreign businessman and had been entangled with him for more than a year. Finally, the relevant department wanted to charge him with fraud, so he had to sell the house to pay the money."

"I'm selling antiques now because I saw Pei Wencong just gave Pan Xiaoqing a large sum of money, and he wants to get some foreign exchange."

Li Ye thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go find Lao Song and give Aqiang a look."

Li Ye felt that he had not seen Lao Song for a long time. The old guy was elusive. Except for showing up at meetings during the New Year, he was rarely seen at other times.

When we arrived at the courtyard house in Zhongguancun, as expected, Wei Jiaxian was the only one at home.

"Where's Lao Song? Is he out shopping again?"

"Yes, why don't you sit for a while? He may come back later, or he may not come back today."

Aren't you talking nonsense?

Li Ye is completely immune to Wei Jiaxian's ability to express himself verbally. He is even worse than a mute person!

"When he comes back, tell him that a friend of mine wants to buy something and needs his approval. My friend lives in Kita-ni-jo, the same place where the old Guan Er lived."

Wei Jiaxian slowly raised his head, looked at Li Ye for several seconds, and then lowered his head.

"I see. I will inform Lao Song."

Li Ye felt that Wei Jiaxian's eyes were a little strange, but he couldn't see anything.

. . . . . . .

In the afternoon, Li Ye returned to Zaojun Temple and saw that his sister Li Yue did not cook today. Instead, she sat there in a daze with red eyes, obviously having just cried.

Li Ye walked in front of Li Yue twice, but Li Yue ignored him.

"What's wrong, sister? Did that bad guy Yang Yumin make you angry? I'm going to beat him up right now."

"Stop thinking! If Yang Yumin is a bad guy, then what are you? Why don't you try to hit him?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "I am your brother! You can't be so mean. When I beat him up next time, you must not help me."

"Alright, alright," Li Yue slapped Li Ye in annoyance, pointed at the phone and said, "The overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia who gave you the watch just now called you. Call him back when you have time."

Li Ye understood.

He came close to Li Yue and asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you going to thank her in person?"

Li Yue was stunned: "He's in Malaysia. How can I thank him in person?"

Li Ye lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "What if they come to the mainland?"

“.”

Li Yueteng stood up suddenly, his eyes excited, but he wanted to speak, but he was too nervous to say anything.

As she listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, she felt an indescribable sense of closeness in her heart.

But what if after meeting, this closeness disappears?
