In this way, Li Xu and Duan Xiaoyun were busy until it was time to get off work.
Brothers Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun also returned home from school.
The two brothers were originally cheerful, but when they walked in and saw Li Xu, their faces suddenly turned dark.
Li Xu knew that the two were still angry about the complaint he had made before.
I thought that since I had nothing to do, I might as well tease them for fun.
Thinking of this, Li Xu smiled and said, "Hey, Jianguo and Jianjun are out of school, why didn't you say hello to me?"
After hearing this, the two brothers remained silent and ignored him.
Li Xu became even more excited. "Are you still mad at me for complaining to me earlier? I'm doing this for your own good. If you hadn't skipped classes, this wouldn't have happened, right?"
The two became even angrier after hearing this, especially Li Jianjun, whose face was tense as he just stared at Li Xu.
Seeing this, Li Xu thought that this was still a bit unacceptable.
Then Li Xu took out two pieces of fruit candy, weighed them in his hand, sighed, and said, "Alas, I felt a little sorry for what happened last time, so I wanted to bring you some candy to make it up to you. It seems you don't want them anymore, so forget it."
Having said that, Li Xu put the candy away again.
Children get angry quickly and calm down quickly.
Hearing what Li Xu said and seeing the two candies, the two looked at each other and hurried forward, "Brother Xu, we are no longer angry."
"Really? Why do I feel like you guys are always mad at me?"
Li Jianguo said, "How could that be possible, Brother Xu? You're doing this for our own good. How could we possibly be angry with you?"
Li Jianjun nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, we are not angry."
Li Xu smiled after hearing this and said, "As long as you're not angry, it seems I was overthinking it."
Seeing that Li Xu didn't mention the candy after he finished speaking, the two brothers waited for a while but Li Xu didn't give them any candy.
The two of them really feel aggrieved. After all, they received a good education at home, and they can't accept it if others don't give it to them.
After a while, Li Xu saw that the two of them looked aggrieved and their eyes were red. He thought that it was enough. If he made them cry again, it would be too much. So he took out two candies and handed them to them.
As soon as they saw the candy, their faces instantly lit up with joy, and they walked to the side and put the candy into their mouths.
After a while, the neighbors also walked into the yard one after another, with only one person coming from each family.
Weddings at this time are usually held at night. People have to go to work during the day and only have time at night. And because of the scarcity of resources, generally only one person from a family goes.
Li Xu's family originally planned to have Li Jiakang and his wife come, but because of the matter of Old Lady Sun, they had to deal with that side first. But they were afraid that they would have to come here after finishing the matter there, so they asked Li Xu to bring a pound of food as food for the three of them.
Li Jiafu and the others also changed into clean and decent clothes, and Li Qiang even wore a brand new set of clothes, looking a little more energetic.
When the neighbors saw Li Jiafu's family, they all came to congratulate them. Li Qiang blushed so much that he didn't know what to say.
After everyone had contributed their money and it was almost time, the captain of the Qinghe Brigade walked in.
Li Xu only knew that the team leader's surname was Yu, he was in his 50s, and he had a very high prestige in the Qinghe Team.
Only after seeing the team leader come in did Li Qiang take some young men to Qin's house to pick up the bride, and Li Xu also followed.
The Qin family is very close to here, only about ten minutes away.
Although the young people were thin and not full, they were in very good spirits and were talking and laughing on the road.
Li Xu thought, maybe this is the charm of this era. Although the conditions are not good, everyone is still full of hope and passion.
When they arrived at Qin's house, Li Qiang walked in first. When he entered the house, there was only a woman sitting there in new clothes.
When she saw Li Qiang enter the room, an expression of relief and joy instantly appeared on the woman's face, and she immediately stood up from the stool.
It was then that Li Xu saw his future sister-in-law. Not only was she thin, her face was a little swollen, but she still had a pretty face, and her hands were covered with wounds.
After seeing that no one else from the Qin family showed up, everyone's faces turned unhappy.
According to custom, family members are supposed to send the bride out of her parents' home. Although there are people from the Qin family, they all hide in the house and do not show up.
Those who could accompany Li Qiang to pick up the bride were all close relatives, so how could they bear this?
Li Qiang's face also turned pale. No matter how good his temper was, he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw this scene.
Seeing this, Li Xu stepped forward and whispered to Li Qiang, "Today is your big day, and you won't have any contact with the Qin family in the future anyway."
Hearing this, Li Qiang took a few deep breaths, and his expression brightened up. Then he forced a smile on his face, took the woman's hand and walked out, saying, "Come on, from now on you are a member of our Li family."
The woman's eyes instantly turned red, and she nodded and walked out.
When everyone saw this, some of them even shouted to liven up the atmosphere, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces again.
Everyone chose to forget what had just happened and walked into Li Qiang's house chatting and laughing all the way.
After arriving, Li Xu found that Li Jiakang and Sun Xiu had also rushed over, and there were smiles on their faces.
Li Xu understood that the matter with grandma must have been resolved.
After the newlyweds entered the house, Captain Yu, who was in charge of presiding over the wedding, walked up and said a few words.
Li Xu found it quite new.
Then the bride and groom sang "The East is Red" together, learned a few quotations from great men, and bowed three times to the portrait of Chairman Mao hanging in the center of the hall.
This completes the ceremony, and now it's time for everyone to eat.
Everyone sat around two tables. Although the conditions were simple, they were still filled with dishes. They were all vegetarian dishes, but the dishes contained a lot more oil and water. There was also a large pot of fish soup and a large pot of steamed corn bread on each table.
It's not surprising to see no meat on the table; it's rare to see meat at this time. The same goes for alcohol; alcohol tickets are hard to come by and you can't just spend money to buy them.
Fortunately, there were plenty of steamed buns, a large pot of fish soup, and the vegetarian dishes were also quite oily.
Everyone then started eating without saying a word. They had a steamed bun in their left hand, and some greasy vegetables in their right hand. The bowls were filled with fish soup and fish. The food tasted so delicious.
After eating and drinking, everyone took their stools, bowls, chopsticks and other items home. After all, no one had so many, so they all borrowed them from their neighbors.
Li Qiang and his wife saw everyone off in front of the courtyard gate, saying that the food today was simple and hoped everyone would understand.
Everyone responded and when they went back they thought to themselves that they hadn’t seen such food at a wedding in over a year.
