Chapter 120 Han Qiuyun Enters the Siheyuan

On Sunday, Li Shengli went to Shuijing Hutong to pick up Han Qiuyun as agreed.

"Grandma, I'm going to Shengli's house today and won't be back for lunch." Han Qiuyun had greeted Grandma Han in advance and reminded her again before leaving.

"Go, go, don't worry about me and Qiuyu." Old Mrs. Han said with a smile, looking at Han Qiuyun and Li Shengli.

Han Qiuyun gave Li Shengli a reproachful look, and Li Shengli just smiled and said nothing.

Li Shengli took Han Qiuyun out of Shuijing Hutong.

"Qiuyun, let's go to the vegetable market first. I'll show you my skills at noon today." Li Shengli said while riding his bicycle with Han Qiuyun.

"No need to be so wasteful. I've eaten the dishes you brought back. I can just stir-fry some vegetables for lunch." Han Qiuyun didn't want Li Shengli to waste food.

"No, that won't work. This is your first meal at my house." Li Shengli refused.

Han Qiuyun tried to persuade Li Shengli a few more times, but when she saw that she couldn't persuade him, she stopped trying.

The two came to the vegetable market, walked around and bought some seasonal vegetables.

"Auntie, how much do you sell this old hen for?" Li Shengli pulled Han Qiuyun to an old auntie who was selling old hens and asked.

"I need a ticket, one yuan per pound."

"So expensive? Let's not buy Shengli." Han Qiuyun was reluctant. After all, pork was only 80 cents a pound, and it was pork belly.

"Little girl, you are a couple, right? My things are not expensive." The aunt was unhappy when she heard Han Qiuyun shouting that they were expensive. The prices of these things were fixed and there was no bargaining.

When Han Qiuyun heard the aunt say that she and Li Shengli were a couple, she was about to refute, but Li Shengli grabbed her hand.

"Auntie, you have good eyesight." Li Shengli praised with a smile.

Han Qiuyun felt a little embarrassed. She felt awkward having Li Shengli hold her hand in public. She pulled her hand out of Li Shengli's and reached out to pull Li Shengli's clothes.

Li Shengli understood what Han Qiuyun meant. It seemed that the meat coupons he had were not enough.

"Auntie, look, we are still short of meat coupons. We will come again next time." Li Shengli took Han Qiuyun to say goodbye to the auntie who was selling old hens.

"Shengli, let's buy less." Han Qiuyun was a little worried. What would happen if Li Shengli got married since he didn't know how to live?

"Okay, let's go buy a fish." Li Shengli saw Han Qiuyun's worry and thought that he should change his habits. After he gets married, he will not be alone anymore.

This time Han Qiuyun did not stop Li Shengli again, mainly because the fish was cheaper and did not require a ticket.

Li Shengli took Han Qiuyun and spent 80 cents to buy a fresh silver carp weighing more than two kilograms.

"Are you satisfied now?" Li Shengli said to Han Qiuyun while holding the fish. "I will save money for our wedding in the future, but we still have to eat."

Han Qiuyun smiled. The fact that Li Shengli listened to her proved that he cared about her. Marriage was a matter between two people. If Li Shengli continued to be like this, it would be hard to say what would happen after marriage.

Li Shengli hung the vegetables and fish he bought on the handlebars and drove Han Qiuyun to the courtyard.

"Brother Shengli, what is this?" He Yushui was just about to go to the trust store to see if there were any second-hand bicycles for sale. As soon as he went out, he ran into Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun. Looking at Han Qiuyun's pretty face, He Yushui asked in surprise.

"This is my partner, my future daughter-in-law, Han Qiuyun." Li Shengli said proudly.

Han Qiuyun heard this and patted Li Shengli lightly from behind.

"Qiuyun, let me introduce you. This is Master He from the Central Courtyard. Oh, she is the sister of the other cook I told you about, He Yushui." Li Shengli introduced to Han Qiuyun.

"Hello." Han Qiuyun greeted politely.

"Hello to you too." He Yushui replied a little stiffly, and then praised Li Shengli: "Brother Shengli, your sister-in-law is so beautiful."

Li Shengli didn't say anything, but just puffed out his chest proudly.

"Brother Shengli, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be going out first." He Yushui remembered that he had something else to go out for.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Li Shengli nodded and said goodbye to He Yushui with Han Qiuyun. After entering the courtyard, the three aunts heard the noise and came out. Yan Bugui was not at home, so he must have gone out fishing.

"Victory, what is this?" asked the third aunt.

"Oh, my boyfriend, come and see where I live." Li Shengli explained, without introducing this time, "Third Auntie, you are busy, I will go home first."

After saying that, Li Shengli took Han Qiuyun back to his home.

"Shengli, who is that?" Han Qiuyun was a little confused when being pulled back home by Li Shengli.

"That's the three aunts I told you about."

"Oh." Han Qiuyun didn't ask any more questions and was looking around Li Shengli's room.

Although Li Shengli's room was not dirty or messy, there were still some dirty clothes thrown in the basin without being washed, and there was also a little dust on the cabinet. Seeing this, Han Qiuyun prepared to pick up the basin and wash the clothes.

"Don't be busy yet. It's hot right now." Li Shengli pulled her aside and said, "Let's talk for a while."

Han Qiuyun obediently put down the basin in her hand. Li Shengli took Han Qiuyun's hand and they sat at the table and talked sweet words.

"Shengli, tell me more about the people in this yard." Han Qiuyun was still a little uneasy.

"Don't be afraid. Just ignore the people in this yard. I'll take care of the rest." Li Shengli comforted Han Qiuyun.

"You introduced ourselves to that little girl when she saw us just now. Why didn't you introduce us to that middle-aged woman?" Han Qiuyun asked curiously, remembering Li Shengli's different attitude just now.

"The two are different." Li Shengli was playing with Han Qiuyun's little hands, making Han Qiuyun blush. "The one in front, He Yushui, is not in the yard at the moment, but the one opposite is different. Their family is very calculating. Just wait and see. At noon, the third uncle from our yard opposite will definitely come to our house and ask us to treat him."

"Who says you are our family?" Han Qiuyun said angrily with a red face.

Li Shengli just looked at Han Qiuyun and smiled without saying anything.

While the two were talking, Yan Bugui came back on his bicycle, parked his bike, picked up his fishing rod and walked into his home.

"Old Yan, Li Shengli across the street is dating someone." The third aunt whispered to Yan Bugui.

"I've guessed it a long time ago." Yan Bugui wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, thinking that the third aunt was making a fuss out of nothing.

"It's not a guess, someone is coming to the yard."

"You said Li Shengli's girlfriend came to the yard?" Yan Bugui's eyes widened.

"Yes, she came this morning. This girl is so pretty." The third aunt exclaimed.

After listening to this, Yan Bugui thought about it, put down the towel and walked out the door.

"Where are you going? It's time for dinner." Auntie Three shouted from behind.

"I'll go take a look across there." Yan Bugui walked towards the opposite side without looking back.

"Knock knock knock." Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun were talking when there was a knock on the door.

"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon." Li Shengli shouted.

"Let me tell you, the person outside the door is definitely the uncle from the opposite side." Li Shengli said to Han Qiuyun confidently.

"I don't believe it." Han Qiuyun rolled his eyes at Li Shengli. Can this be calculated?

"Let's make a bet. If it's true, you kiss me." Li Shengli said with his eyes lighting up.

"What if not?" Han Qiuyun didn't understand this routine.

"If not, I'll kiss you." Li Shengli smiled cunningly.

"Okay..." Han Qiuyun reacted before she finished her words and patted Li Shengli lightly.
