Chapter 111 Yan Bugui bought a car
The three of them left the cinema. Li Shengli sent the two sisters home, said hello to Old Mrs. Han, and pushed his bicycle to go home.

On the way, he met someone from his compound who looked familiar, and nodded as a greeting, then left the courtyard, pedaled his feet, and rode his bicycle home.

"Qiuyun, Qiuyu, how are you doing today?" Old Mrs. Han poured a glass of water for the two sisters and asked with a smile.

"I'm fine. I had a lot of fun." Han Qiuyu still looked excited and chattered with Old Mrs. Han about today's itinerary.

"Qiuyun, what do you think?" The old lady didn't hear Han Qiuyun's answer and turned around to ask.

"Fortunately, nothing happened today." Han Qiuyun said after calming down.

"Just make up your mind. Your parents are gone, so you have to decide your own marriage." Old Mrs. Han looked at Han Qiuyun kindly.

Chen Qiuyun nodded without saying anything. Li Shengli seemed like a good guy, but if they wanted to get married, they would need to spend some time together before deciding.

Li Shengli hummed a little tune and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

Today the courtyard is as noisy as usual, with the sounds of several middle-aged women chatting and children being scolded and beaten in the backyard. This is also part of life.

The little Sophora japonica in the yard is already one year old and is now practicing walking with the help of Qin Huairu.

Several older ladies looked at Huaihua stumbling and couldn't help but smile kindly. No matter what the adults did, the child was innocent.

The aunt looked kindly at Huaihua who was practicing walking, and felt sad in her heart. The aunt wanted the child but had no way to keep it. In fact, Li Shengli didn't know why the uncle and aunt didn't adopt a child.

For the next month, Li Shengli usually went to work, occasionally went to the library, or went fishing in Shichahai. On weekends, he usually asked Han Qiuyun to go out on a date together.

In June, on a weekend, Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun had a date. Li Shengli sent Han Qiuyun home and rode his bike back to the courtyard.

When summer comes, the steel mill has already distributed summer supplies, such as summer work clothes, which are indispensable.

I saw Yan Bugui cleaning a bicycle in the yard. Did Yan Bugui buy a bicycle?

"Uncle, where did you get this bicycle?" Li Shengli parked the bicycle under his window and asked curiously.

"Hey, I just bought it from a trust store, and it cost me 120 yuan." Yan Bugui stretched out his right hand, raised his index finger, and said to Li Shengli with a painful look on his face.

"One hundred and twenty yuan? That's not expensive." The price of this bicycle has been rising recently.

"Originally they wanted 125, but I managed to bargain them down." Yan Bugui said with a proud look on his face.

Hey, it's no wonder that Mr. Yan is so stingy. The seller is really tortured.

Li Shengli parked the car, locked it, went back to his house, poured himself a glass of water, and after a while, he prepared to go out to the bathroom.

"Uncle, are you still cleaning the car?" I have been in there for such a long time, and I haven't finished cleaning the car yet?

"Look at what you said. If this bike is not wiped, it will look old. Look at my bike. Isn't it as good as a new one?" Yan Bugui stood up, clenched his right fist and pointed at his bike with his thumb.

"Don't mention it, your bicycle looks like a new one." Li Shengli admired Yan Bugui very much, but he decided not to learn from him.

"You continue to wipe the car, I'm going to the bathroom." Li Shengli covered his stomach and ran out.

After using the toilet, Li Shengli was about to go back to his room. "Shengli." Yan Bugui called Li Shengli.

"What's the matter, Third Uncle?"

"It's nothing, it's just that why don't you bring lunch boxes home recently?" Yan Bugui asked awkwardly.

"Oh, nothing. I gave away my lunch box." Li Shengli said nonchalantly.

"Give it away?" Yan Bugui was surprised. He thought Li Shengli didn't want the lunch box recently.

Li Shengli nodded without saying anything.

"Shengli, are you planning on finding a partner recently?" Yan Bugui thought for a while and asked tentatively.

"Why not find one? I'm old enough to get married." Li Shengli was not embarrassed. He thought he should settle down if he couldn't do it.

"Well, there's a new teacher named Ran in our school. Would you like me to introduce her to you?" Since Li Shengli had treated him to a meal before, if Li Shengli could give him some benefits, it wouldn't be a problem to introduce Teacher Ran to him.
"No need, Third Uncle." Li Shengli refused directly. Ran Qiuye knew it himself, but he had found it now, so he didn't consider it anymore.

Li Shengli rejected Yan Bugui and went straight back home.

Yan Bugui had only one thought in his mind when he looked at Li Shengli, that Li Shengli was definitely in a relationship.

However, no matter how stingy and calculating Yan Bugui is, he would never do anything to do good things behind others' backs. He has always considered himself a scholar and he has never done anything too bad in the original drama.

Four days later, the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching and the factory also issued glutinous rice coupons. After work that day, Li Shengli went to Han Qiuyun's home and found Han Qiuyun.

"Qiuyun, has your factory issued glutinous rice tickets?" Li Shengli pushed the cart and walked slowly outside with Han Qiuyun.

"Yes, I used this money to buy rice dumplings at the supply and marketing cooperative every year."

"Then give me the ticket, and I'll wrap the rice dumplings and send them to you. With a chef like me, you won't have to buy food like this outside in the future." Li Shengli said proudly, pointing at himself.

"Okay." After spending some time together, Han Qiuyun had almost understood Li Shengli and did not refuse.

"So do you want to eat sweet or salty rice dumplings?" Li Shengli asked a difficult question that has not been solved for hundreds of years.

"Sweet rice dumplings are fine. Does anyone eat salty rice dumplings?" Han Qiuyun's family are all from the north. They only eat sweet rice dumplings and have never eaten salty rice dumplings.

"Yes, many people in the south eat salty rice dumplings. Some contain meat, some contain salted egg yolks, and there are all kinds of them." Li Shengli explained to Han Qiuyun in detail.

"Sweet ones are better." Han Qiuyun shuddered when she thought of the salty rice dumplings.

Next, Li Shengli told Han Qiuyun about the dietary differences between the north and the south. The two talked for a while, and Han Qiuyun went home and gave the glutinous rice ticket to Li Shengli.

"Let's go to the countryside to pick reed leaves together on Sunday." Before leaving, Li Shengli took the opportunity to invite Han Qiuyun to a date.

"Okay." Han Qiuyun and Li Shengli now have a tacit understanding. Li Shengli looks at Han Qiuyu and makes up his mind to officially start dating Han Qiuying during this Dragon Boat Festival.

Li Shengli took the glutinous rice coupons from both families and went to the grain store to buy some first. That would be troublesome if the store sold out when he got there. There were still some dates at home, so he could buy some when the time came.
