Ali was still busy in the field, holding a sickle, chatting and laughing with Aunt Niu as they worked.
When a group of children surrounded Li Junxian, they shouted in unison, "Sister Ali, Brother Li is here to see you."
Ah Li then remembered that Li Junxian had mentioned in his letter that today was the day he was coming to pick her up.
Aunt Niu pushed the distracted Ali, saying, "Go on, that person is waiting for you over there."
Ah Li looked up at Li Junxian and noticed that he was wearing a white shirt, dark green military pants, and military boots.
"Ah Li, I've come to pick you up."
Li Junxian reached out his hand to Ah Li.
Aunt Niu took the sickle from Ali's hand. Ali glanced at the dark red arm sleeves on her hands, the dark plaid shirt on her body, the gray pants, and the black cloth shoes on her feet.
For the first time, I felt that it was right for her to dress like this for work, but standing next to Li Junxian, she felt that she was not a good match for him at all.
Li Junxian didn't seem to care at all, and even said, "You've lost weight."
Ahri touched her face. "I'm alright."
The child next to her was joking, "Brother Li's parents are here too. Sister Ali, you need to change your clothes, otherwise you'll look just like my mom!"
Ah Li froze, and looked at Li Junxian slowly. "Your parents really came with you?"
Li Junxian comforted Ali by holding her hand and said, "Yes, my mother said that since you are an educated youth from Qingshan Village and have lived here for so long, we should hold a simple banquet."
"ah?"
Ahri was shocked and surprised.
She hadn't expected Li Junxian's mother to be so kind as to consider these things.
Seeing that Ah Li was almost moved to tears, Li Junxian wanted to reach out and hug her.
However, as soon as she raised her hand, Ahri pushed her away.
Ahri said, "I need to go change my clothes quickly, otherwise I'll get your white shirt dirty."
Li Junxian wanted to say he didn't care, but seeing Ah Li walking so fast, he accompanied Ah Li back.
They even helped Ahri boil water, filled the bathtub with water, and carried it into the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of water flowing as Ah Li washed up inside, Li Junxian suddenly blushed.
The thought of Ahri becoming his wife made his heart beat faster.
When Ah Li finished showering and came out with her hair down, she had changed into a red and white plaid shirt, black trousers, and a pair of sandals.
When Li Junxian saw the clothes in Ah Li's hands, he even thought about washing them for her.
Ah Li pushed the person away, saying, "Don't wash yet, wash when you get back. Your parents will be waiting."
Li Junxian then remembered that his parents were still waiting for him in the car.
However, when Ali and Li Junxian returned to the car, they found that Li's father and mother were already chatting with the village chief.
The three of them even went over the number of tables to be set up and the amount of meat and vegetables needed.
As soon as Li's mother saw Ali standing next to Li Junxian, she said happily, "The little girl is so pretty."
Ah Li touched her hair somewhat awkwardly; it was quite tanned, but she still greeted everyone politely, "Hello, Uncle; Hello, Aunt."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Li's mother was overjoyed, and Li's father was also very happy.
The next day, the village chief called on the villagers to help set up the banquet.
In the village chief's courtyard, the educated youth sat at about two tables, while the villagers sat at more than a dozen tables.
The village also slaughtered a pig; of course, Li Junxian paid for all of this.
Ali pulled Li Junxian back to the house the village chief had prepared for them. Looking at the bustling scene outside, she said, "There are just too many people."
She thought a few tables would be enough, but she never expected it to be such a big event.
Li Junxian smiled and rubbed Ah Li's head. "Our parents are happy, and I'm happy too. This is no big deal."
The village women helped wash vegetables and meat and prepare bowls and chopsticks. Some helped call people, some started the fire, and some heated the pot to cook the ingredients that would be used for the feast.
When the banquet was about to begin, Aunt Niu knocked on the door and said, "What are you two, the bride and groom, doing hiding in the room?"
Ali was led out by Li Junxian. Since they were leaving after the banquet and Li Junxian had to drive, they didn't drink any alcohol.
The banquet was lively and bustling. We've heard the phrase "May you have a long and happy marriage and many children" countless times.
After the banquet, the villagers helped clean up.
They quickly cleaned up the village chief's courtyard, and Li Junxian drove away with Ali and his parents.
On the way back, Li's father and Li Junxian sat in the front, while Li's mother and Ali sat in the back.
Li's mother held Ali's hand and said, "Ali, if this boy dares to bully you in the future, just tell me and I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Li's mother never expected that Li Junxian, who was invited to the textile factory to train the security team, would end up finding her a wife.
When I showed them the photos before, I was a delicate, soft, and weak young educated youth.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for more than half a year, the young educated youth was quite capable. In order to earn work points, he even got a tan.
Li's mother was quite worried about Li Junxian's marriage, but to her surprise, he quietly found someone on his own.
That day, as soon as Li Junxian got home, he told them, "Mom and Dad, I need to submit a report; I want to get married!"
Mr. Li and the old man were playing chess at the time, and they both thought they had misheard.
However, when Li Junxian walked up to them with the documents, he said very solemnly, "I'm dating Comrade Wen Li, and I'm going to marry her."
