"Why do you say I'm here, you get up and get dressed quickly, there's a lot more to do today"

Ding Qiunan took Li Ping'an's arm and dragged Li Ping'an up, took a piece of clothing from the closet, threw it on Li Ping'an's head, put the dirty clothes on the bed into a basin, and walked out with the basin.

Looking at Ding Qiunan's series of operations, after Ding Qiunan walked out, Li Ping'an reacted, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to wash. Came to the pool with a toothbrush, and saw Ding Qiunan washing the clothes he changed yesterday by the pool, Li Ping'an asked suspiciously

"You're here too early today, it's only a few o'clock and you'll be there"

Ding Qiunan, who was washing clothes, glared at Li Ping'an angrily, and then spoke

"Didn't you look at your watch when you came out? Look at the sun, and then look at the people in the courtyard, it's already past eight o'clock, and the people in the courtyard have already gone to work."

I looked up at the sun, and then at the neighbors, and it was really not early. Nowadays, people rarely sleep lazily, they all get up early to eat, prepare for work, even if it is a rest day, they also get up early to eat breakfast. Li Ping'an smiled awkwardly at Ding Qiunan and washed up quickly.

After washing, Li Ping'an came to Yizhonghai House, the old couple had already eaten breakfast, and now they were sitting at the dinner table chatting. The old couple knew that Li Ping'an had the habit of sleeping lazy, and they would not wake Li Ping'an up every weekend, and the old couple would leave Li Ping'an's breakfast in advance and eat it after he woke up.

After Yi Zhonghai waited for Li Ping'an to finish breakfast, he said to Li Ping'an

"Peace, Qiu Nan's dormitory only has one bed, have you arranged your father-in-law's accommodation tonight?"

Li Ping'an, who was wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, waved his hand and said after hearing Yi Zhonghai's words

"I have already said hello to the director of the guest house, and the old couple will live in the factory guest house tonight."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said to Li Ping'an

"You can get ready to go later, Sanhe is a little far away, go early and return early, don't delay time"

"Okay, I'll go talk to Qiu Nan, and then we'll go"

After Li Ping'an went out, he saw that there was no Ding Qiunan by the pool, so he turned around and went back to his room. At this time, Ding Qiunan was tidying up the house, and after seeing Li Ping'an come in, he pointed to the curtain and said to Li Ping'an

"This curtain is too broken, let's get a new curtain after we get married"

Li Ping'an glanced at the tattered curtains, stepped forward to tear the curtains off, looked at the tattered curtains in his hand, and said to Ding Qiunan

"The new curtains have been made, I'll replace them later, throw away this rag, it's hard to use it to make rags"

Ding Qiunan stepped forward to take the curtain cloth, looked at it carefully, and then took it in his hand and pulled it, only to hear 'stab, a sound, this cloth was torn open a big hole, Ding Qiunan looked at the cloth in his hand, and said to Li Ping'an embarrassedly

"This cloth is too brittle, I can tear it without force"

Li Ping'an picked up the cloth and looked at it, and with a little force, one piece of cloth turned into two pieces of cloth

"This cloth seems to have been brought by my aunt back then, looking at the years, it is estimated that it has been twenty or thirty years, and it has long been unusable, and it can be torn open with a light tear, and I will now go and bring the new curtains to be installed, by the way, you go and see the cloth I bought, and see if you want to make a dress or something"...

"I have clothes to wear, and when we get married, I also found someone to make a new dress, and when the cloth is cold, our whole family will make a new dress."

"Okay, listen to you"

After Li Ping'an put on the new curtains, he said goodbye to the three of them and drove to Sanhe to pick up the old man and his family. At one o'clock at noon, Li Ping'an came to Sanhe Ding Qiunan's house, knocked lightly on the door, and soon the door opened from the inside.

Ding Rushan and his family went to the bathhouse to take a bath yesterday, and they got up early this morning and put on new clothes, waiting for Li Ping'an to pick up the two of them to go to Sijiu City to attend tomorrow's wedding. It was expected that Li Ping'an would arrive at about 12 o'clock, and he couldn't wait for anyone, and after seeing the meal, the two of them could only eat first, and not long after eating, he heard a knock on the door, knowing that his son-in-law was coming, Ding Rushan hurriedly stepped forward to open the door

"Oh, peace is coming, come in and do it"

Li Ping'an walked into the house, and Ding's mother brought out the meal reserved for Li Ping'an and beckoned Li Ping'an to eat. Driving all the way over and having already eaten, he was really hungry now, so he unceremoniously took the chopsticks given by Ding's mother, and Li Ping'an ate quickly.

Although the eating speed is very fast, but the eating is very good, Li Ping'an does not have the habit of eating in this era and likes to make a sound, Ding's mother is from a large family and has received Western education, so she naturally does not like others to make a sound when eating, and she nodded secretly when she looked at Li Ping'an eating.

After Li Ping'an finished eating, he told the second elder about getting the certificate with Ding Qiunan yesterday, and told the two of them about tomorrow's situation. The Ding family has no relatives here, only Ding's father and mother will attend the wedding tomorrow, Li Ping'an finished eating, took a simple rest, and planned to take the two to Sijiu City.

Ding Rushan heard that he was about to leave now, turned around and went back to the room, and when Ding Rushan came out, he held a flower cloth package in his hand, Ding Rushan carefully put the flower cloth package down on the table, and motioned for Li Ping'an to open it.

When Li Ping'an saw Ding Rushan's movements, he knew that this package was definitely a good thing, and when he saw Ding Rushang let himself open it, Li Ping'an unceremoniously began to unwrap the package.

Slowly unwrap the package, after the flower cloth was untied, it was wrapped in a sandalwood box, Li Ping'an glanced at Ding Rushan, only to see that Ding Rushan did not react, so Li Ping'an opened the box, and a crystal flawless white jade Guanyin was displayed in front of Li Ping'an's eyes.

Take a closer look, this white jade Guanyin is no different from the ordinary Guanyin statue, it is a single finger print, holding a white jade bottle and an immortal willow, the size is about eighteen centimeters, such a large size of jade is very rare.

Stretched out his hand and carefully took out the white jade Guanyin from the box, and as soon as he started it, Li Ping'an, a layman, could feel that this Guanyin was priceless. Although I don't know what kind of jade it is, the touch on the hand is warm and delicate, it should be a good jade, the carving technique is superb, the shape is realistic, and it is lifelike.

Ding Rushan looked at Baiyu Guanyin, a look of pain flashed on his face, and he slowly spoke

"This white jade Guanyin is a thing in the palace, in the year of Gengzi, on the way to Cixi's escape, my grandfather bought a good thing from a eunuch, and it has been passed on to me for three generations, our family has a daughter in Nannan, and this thing will be given to you as a dowry"...

Good guy, I gave a Tang Bohu's landscape painting before, and today I gave a white jade Guanyin that is not worse than the painting, this old Ding family really has goods, although Li Ping'an really wants this thing, but he still pretended to excuse a few words, saying that the thing is too valuable, there is already a painting of Tang Bohu, and it is not appropriate to take Guanyin again.

Since Ding Rushan had already taken out the thing, it was impossible to take it back, and after some tugging, Li Ping'an reluctantly accepted the object.

Put the white jade Guanyin back away, Li Ping'an took the box, and drove the old couple to Sijiu City. At around six o'clock, Li Ping'an parked the car next to the gate of the barbecue season on this side of Shichahai

Originally, it was discussed to go to eat shabu mutton, but considering that the two families met for the first time, it seemed disrespectful to go to eat shabu mutton. Yi Zhonghai made the decision to meet and eat for the first time here in the barbecue season, the barbecue season is a century-old restaurant, it can be said to be a golden sign in the diet of Sijiu City, the dishes in it are not cheap, Yi Zhonghai in order to entertain Ding Rushan and his family, but he has made a lot of money.

Li Ping'an parked the car, the three of them got out of the car and walked to the store, and after walking a few steps, they saw Yi Zhonghai and the three of them standing at the door waiting.

Yi Zhonghai saw Li Ping'an's three people, and walked up with a smile on his face, and when Yi Zhonghai got closer, Li Ping'an introduced each other to the parents of both sides who met for the first time. The two families greeted each other politely at the door of the meal, and then walked into the barbecue season happily.

After everyone sat down, the waiter came over with the menu, and after Ding Rushan and Yi Zhonghai tugged, Yi Zhonghai began to order. Yi Zhonghai is bleeding a lot today, all the specialties ordered are the specialties in the store, basically the specialties on the menu are ordered, a large table full of hard dishes, Li Ping'an estimates that today's meal will at least cost a month's salary of an intern in the rolling mill workshop.

When checking out, it was the same as Li Ping'an's expectation, today's meal cost 13.5, plus two bottles of Moutai wine and Chinese cigarettes from home, properly exceeded the intern's monthly salary.

Although Ding Rushan and his family were born in a wealthy family and had a good time when they were young, they really suffered a lot in the past two years, and I heard Ding Qiunan say that when the family was the most difficult, they couldn't even eat stick noodles. Looking at Yi Zhonghai's big pomp, although his face was silent, Li Ping'an could still see the old couple swallowing slightly.

After the meal was served, although Ding Rushan and his wife were greedy, they still looked quite gentle, and Ding Rushan, who didn't drink much, also made an exception to drink today.

Yi Zhonghai learned more about Ding Rushan and his family from Li Ping'an, and knew the personalities of the two. At the dinner table, the scheming Yi Zhonghai did what he liked, constantly touting Ding Rushan, and an aunt pulled Ding's mother to talk about family life.

Although Ding Rushan doesn't drink much, Ding Rushan can really drink, and Li Ping'an estimates that his old father-in-law has at least one catty. The two families finished the meal happily, and after dinner, Yi Zhonghai invited Ding Rushan and the two to visit the house of the young couple at home, and Ding Rushan readily agreed.

Li Ping'an drove the car, walking in front with an aunt and Ding Rushan and his wife, Yi Zhonghai and Ding Qiunan followed behind on bicycles, and the group quickly returned to the courtyard.
