Chapter 704 I Am Petty, so What?
After Li Ye drove away from Wen Leyu's house, he met up with his sister Li Yue, Li Dayong, Wang Jianqiang and others at the agreed place, and the group returned to Qingshui County in four or five cars.
Several people brought replacement drivers, and they arrived in Qingshui County before midnight without talking all the way.
Grandma Wu Juying had cleaned Li Ye's room long ago, allowing Li Ye and Wen Leyu to have a good sleep.
Early the next morning, my eldest aunt and my younger sister arrived at the Li family's house, preparing to visit the graves of the Li family's ancestors with their grandparents and Li Ye's family.
According to the tradition here in Dongshan, a married daughter-in-law cannot go back to her parents' home to visit her grave. For example, Li Yue cannot go to her family's grave to visit her.
Only under certain special circumstances can these daughters-in-law go to the graves with others, such as the death of an old man, the marriage of a new daughter-in-law, etc.
So later on, some people always said that Dongshan has serious bad habits and does not respect women. Coupled with the widespread spread of "women are not allowed to serve on the table", the big men in Dongshan are nothing.
Li Ye really doesn't like to talk about visiting graves, but "women can't serve on the table"! That's really not the case.
Decades later, there is no such thing as a woman not having sex in Dongshan.
During the New Year celebrations in the 1980s, the elders did drink at the main table, but the women and children also opened a separate table!
And if there is any good food at home, the table of women and children must be taken care of first. The reason is also ready-let the children eat first, and the elders can have wine.
If you analyze it carefully, the man in Dongshan actually "hates face", but he also has his responsibility, and it is definitely not as bad as everyone spreads.
"Xiao Yu, tie this red silk around your waist. Don't take it off when you go to the grave!"
Before everyone left, grandma Wu Juying gave Wen Leyu a red ribbon and asked her to tie it around her waist to protect the next generation in her belly.
"Grandma, actually I haven't yet."
"How do you know if you're not pregnant yet? Take it, there is a lot of yin at the tomb, so don't be careless."
"Oh~"
Wen Leyu tied up the red silk belt obediently, causing his sister-in-law Li Mingxiang and sister Li Yue to burst into laughter.
Aunt Li Mingyue was also smiling, but Li Ye felt the humility in her smile.
It can be said that Li Mingyue's meeting with Fu Guiru in the capital completely changed her mentality.
The former eldest sister in the family was actually picked up. For Li Mingyue, who was used to shouting and drinking at home, this was simply more uncomfortable than death.
When visiting the grave, my aunt Li Mingyue was obviously different from before. She was not as talkative as before, but instead ran forward and backward to help as much as she could, as if she wanted to make up for something.
But she really doesn't understand, once something is broken, how can it be made up for?
Facts have proved that aunt Li Mingyue knew that she could not make up for it, but she was just unwilling to do so.
. . . . . . . .
The Li family didn't have many relatives in Qingshui County. This time Li Ye got married, and Li Zhongfa also wanted to keep a low profile. However, when it came time to set the wine table, forty tables had not yet been set, so he could only keep adding more tables.
He was poor in the downtown area and no one cared about him, but he was rich in the mountains and had distant relatives. In the end, many of Li Ye's high school classmates came over uninvited to join in the fun.
He Weiguo pulled Li Ye and insisted on having a drink with him.
"Li Ye, we have met again. We were joking around in the past, but now it feels like it was yesterday."
"Hehehe, what are you talking about? I can't even remember it. It's good to eat and drink."
Li Ye made a haha and stopped quarreling with this troublemaker. If it weren't for Principal Chang's sake today, he wouldn't even be able to say a few haha.
Back then, this guy always used Lu Jingyao to stimulate Li Ye, and he was almost beaten by Li Dayong. Now he wants to get close to her again with a glass of wine. How is that possible?
But another classmate really became "close" to Li Ye.
At least that's what she thinks.
Xia Yue, Lu Jingyao's former best friend, Li Ye's mortal enemy in the repeat class, and now the prospective daughter-in-law of her aunt Li Mingyue.
When his cousin Cui Aiguo led Xia Yue towards Li Ye, Li Yeye felt a little disgusted. Everyone was disgusted with each other. If you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you. That's it! Why do you have to come over and play some kind of "laughing away grudges" with me?
"Brother, sister-in-law, this is my partner Xia Yue, you all know me, right? Hehehe~"
Cui Aiguo walked to Li Ye and introduced him to Li Ye with a smile.
Li Ye squinted at Cui Aiguo, feeling that this bastard cousin probably didn't know that Li Mingyue was not the biological daughter of the Li family.
Also, Cui Aiguo was hired by Li Zhongfa to join the food system. If it were spread that he was not his grandson, it would be very detrimental to his future development.
Li Ye smiled and said to Cui Aiguo: "Last time I heard that you were dating Xia Yue, I thought I heard it wrong! I have to say that our Qingshui County is really small, and all the people walking around are acquaintances. "
Cui Aiguo smiled and said: "That's right! There have been less than ten college students in our county in recent years, and there are only three in your class. Aren't they all acquaintances!"
What Cui Aiguo said was actually saying, "My wife is not bad either. She is also one of the top ten college students in the county."
In the early 1980s, it was indeed not bad to marry a daughter-in-law who was a college graduate.
But compared to the other ten people in her class, Xia Yue was actually inferior.
Li Ye's repeater class of August 1 is still a legend in the No. 2 Middle School of the county. At that time, in addition to the small group of eight people, Chen Jinsheng and Zhuang Hongxing also passed the junior college entrance examination, while Xia Yue passed the normal college after repeating the class again. Compared with Jiang Xiaoyan and others, she was the last one.
"Okay, it's good. The classmates are all at the two tables over there. You can go over and say hello!"
Li Ye smiled at Xia Yue and Cui Aiguo and wanted to send them aside.
But the two did not move.
Cui Aiguo smiled and said to Li Ye: "Brother, I came here to tell you something. Xia Yue and I will get married the day after tomorrow. You and sister-in-law must come at that time!"
"Get married the day after tomorrow? When will the date be set?"
Li Ye was surprised.
According to the tradition of Dongshan Province, the wedding date is generally set a few months in advance, just like Li Ye and Wen Leyu, the two families discussed it during the Chinese New Year.
But Cui Aiguo and Xia Yue got married, and there was no news at all in advance.
Cui Aiguo was a little embarrassed, but Xia Yue said calmly: "It was decided two months ago. It happened to be the same day as yours, big brother, so it saved a lot of trouble."
Xia Yue called "big brother" reluctantly, after all, she was two years older than Li Ye.
But she still called him.
The past few years have made Xia Yue mature a lot. She knows very well that if her father-in-law wants to be promoted to another level, he can only rely on external forces.
If Li Ye and Wen Leyu attend her and Cui Aiguo's wedding the day after tomorrow, then there will be room for operation.
Cui Zhixian has obviously realized that because of the severance of blood ties, it is impossible to expect Li Ye to take the initiative to help him with his connections.
Then he can only use the power of the tiger to pry open a crack on the door to promotion that is about to close.
Teacher Ke has been in Qingshui County for so many years, so everyone knows Wen Leyu's identity. As long as she appears at her son's wedding, Cui Zhixian can then implicitly express that I have someone in Beijing, a relative, at the ministerial level.
This is a really smart calculation.
But Wen Leyu and her sister-in-law Pan Xiaoying are both very calculating. How could they let their former enemies get away with it?
The young wife pulled Li Ye's arm and said, "We have to go back to work tomorrow. We will definitely not be able to attend your wedding. Sorry!"
Cui Aiguo's face suddenly turned ugly.
Xia Yue was more cunning than Cui Aiguo. She did not give up, but said humbly, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. It was my fault back then, but now we are a family. I hope you will not bear grudges and not be angry with my Aiguo."
"."
Li Ye had to look at Xia Yue differently.
The radical and stubborn Xia Yue at the beginning has completely changed.
Five years ago, Xia Yue would not say "I'm sorry" even if she was suffocated to death, but now Xia Yue, in public, openly "apologized" to Li Ye.
The people around them have already looked at Li Ye and Wen Leyu. It is estimated that in a short while, Xia Yue will sincerely apologize, and everyone will know about Li Ye's unreasonable behavior.
At that time, there must be many "highly respected" relatives and friends who will stand up and persuade Li Ye to be "magnanimous and tolerant" and not to care about the grudges of the children in the past.
But before Li Ye could make a move, his sister Li Yue saw the situation here and came over with high heels.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister, it's like this. Aiguo and I will get married the day after tomorrow, so I sincerely invite my cousin and sister-in-law to attend our wedding."
"Attend the shit, when you said Li Ye was Huang Shiren, why didn't you call me brother?"
"."
Li Ye and Wen Leyu looked at each other and couldn't help but admire their sister.
At this time, the one who can throw a tantrum and tear the face is only sister Li Yue.
Only villains and women are difficult to raise. I am just petty, what can you do to me?
