Chapter 132 You Don't Take Yufang Seriously
On the way back, some people walked faster and arrived home in a short while.
It was already past ten o'clock when he got home. Li Yong urged Liu Guihua to cook: "Mom, what are we going to eat for lunch? I'm hungry!"
Liu Guihua ignored him and just looked at Li Lei: "Go to the store in front and buy something, then go to Yufang's house and come back to eat!"
It’s only a little after ten o’clock, there’s still time!
"Yufang's father drinks, buy a box of wine and a box of milk..." Liu Guihua muttered as she flipped through the things Li Lei bought. "It's just right, this piece of pork is quite big, take it too, these bananas and apples are good, take them all!"
Li Lei said helplessly: "Mom, I bought this for you to eat. Don't worry about my business. I know what's going on!"
Liu Guihua sighed: "What do you think? This is your first visit since we got engaged, shouldn't you bring more?"
As he said this, he was about to pack up Li Lei's things and let him take them away.
Seeing this, Li Xu quickly said, "Okay, Mom, go figure out what to eat for lunch with Xiaoyong, and I'll clean up for Xiaolei!"
Liu Guihua finally felt relieved. "Okay, you take care of the cleanup. I'll go cook."
After Liu Guihua went to the kitchen, Li Xu looked at Li Lei and asked in a low voice: "No matter what you think, there is no reason to go to someone's house empty-handed. You have to take something!"
Li Lei smiled and said, "I know. I'll just go to the store in front and buy some and bring them back. You don't have to worry about it."
After that, he looked at Ji Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, go with your uncle. Your uncle will buy you something delicious."
Li Xu glared at him: "Why are you taking a child with you?"
After that, she pulled Ji Yuanyuan over and said, "Yuanyuan, be good. Let's not go. Mom will take you to buy delicious food later."
Ji Yuanyuan said: I want to go and read the gossip!
However, on the surface, he could only pretend to be ignorant and blinked at Li Xu.
Li Lei also looked innocent: "There are too many things, I can't carry them by myself, I need Yuanyuan to help me carry them."
Li Xu simply picked up Ji Yuanyuan and said, "Alright, if you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too. What are you afraid of?"
Li Lei's thoughts were exposed and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll go by myself."
"Do you have money?" Li Xu asked again.
Li Lei nodded: "Yes, don't worry."
After saying that, he walked out of the house, looking back every few steps.
Li Lei did not ride a bicycle. He walked to the store in front of the village, bought a box of wine, a box of tea, and a box of milk, and walked to the next village carrying them in his hands.
Three years ago, he and Yufang fell in love at first sight.
He was almost 26 years old that year, and his family was worried, so they arranged several blind dates for him while he was on vacation.
Yufang was not the first blind date candidate, but she was the first blind date that made him feel moved.
So, the two of them quickly confirmed their relationship and got engaged while he was still at home.
After he returned, he couldn't eat or sleep well for a long time, and he missed her terribly.
He wrote a letter every few days and called every once in a while. Yufang would also reply, but not as diligently as he did.
Later, I gradually got used to it, stopped thinking about it so much, and the days just passed.
It took him a while to submit his application for discharge. Among those who were discharged at the same time, he was the last one to submit his application.
I was reluctant to leave the army and my comrades, but when I thought about those exciting days, I forced myself to retire.
He thought that he would marry her when he came back.
Over the years, his parents didn't touch the salary they sent back, and kept a separate passbook for him. Together with the retirement pay he received after his retirement, it was also a considerable sum.
There will be a lot left after the wedding, and then we can go to the city to start a small business. As long as the two of us are diligent, our lives will definitely get better and better.
But who would have thought that as soon as I got home, I heard from my parents that Yufang asked their family to pay another thousand yuan as the betrothal gift, and she also said so many nasty things to my parents.
He doesn't care about money, nor does he have no money.
I just feel a lump in my stomach!
If only Yufang could go and apologize to his parents afterwards, he would happily send a thousand yuan to their family today.
However, my parents said that Yufang never showed up from beginning to end.
What is she thinking?
Doesn’t she know what her mother did?
It was vanity that made him think that other girls received dowries worth several thousand yuan, so why didn't she have any?
Or do you feel that you were wronged by marrying Li Lei and want some compensation?
Or do you just want to control him through this incident?
Or maybe, he simply wants to ask for more money for his mother's family?
With a lot on his mind, Li Lei quickly arrived at Yufang's house.
Her family lived in the back of the village, in three dilapidated adobe houses, with a wooden door covered with marks.
There are only two handles made of iron rings, which are polished to a shiny finish!
Li Lei put the things down, raised his hand and clapped the ring, "Uncle, Aunt, Yufang, are you home?"
After filming for a while, Yufang's door was not open, but the door of the neighbor's house was open.
A middle-aged woman came out with a basin in her hand and poured water.
But anyone could see that this person just came to visit people under the pretext of pouring water.
She seemed a little surprised when she saw Li Lei.
He stared at Li Lei with wide eyes, then splashed the water on the road and went home.
I don’t know if it was Li Lei’s illusion, but he seemed to hear a sigh.
There is pity and regret in this sigh!
Just when Li Lei was daydreaming, the door of Yufang's house was finally opened. It was Yufang's younger brother Yuqiang who opened the door. He was also a little surprised when he saw Li Lei: "It's you? Come in!"
Then he went back to the house and shouted, "It's Li Lei!"
There are four children in Yufang's family. She has two older sisters and a younger brother! Both of her sisters are married.
Yuqiang is the youngest child in the family and he has three older sisters. He is spoiled beyond belief!
So Li Lei didn't find him strange at all! He bent down and picked up all the things on the ground, carrying them inside.
When they walked into the yard, Yufang's mother and Yufang came out. Yufang's mother walked in front with a big smile on her face, while Yufang walked behind with a shy and timid look on her face.
She is about 1.65 meters tall and has a slim figure. Although her face is not pretty, it is pretty and clean.
Mother Yufang looked up and down at what Li Lei was holding in his arms, and the smile on her face gradually faded!
"Come in! Just put it in the kitchen!" After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house!
Yufang came forward and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Li Lei felt a little better and moved the things to the kitchen and put them down.
Yufang asked softly, "When did you come back?"
"yesterday!"
"You came back yesterday, but you didn't even come to see me first? I see, you don't care about Yufang at all!"
