Chapter 138 Buying Furniture
Li Shengli took the ticket and went to the furniture store with Han Qiuyun.
"Qiuyun, what do you think of this bed?" Li Shengli asked, pointing to a large solid elm bed that was 1.8 meters wide and 2 meters long, dyed brown, and had carvings on the head and foot of the bed.
This bed looks good and is quite spacious.
"You choose it yourself." Han Qiuyun was still a little shy.
"Look, there seems to be a bigger bed over there." Li Shengli was a little dissatisfied with the size of the bed. He looked up and around, and he really found a bigger bed.
His own room had enough space for him, and the bed, which was two meters two meters wide, was just what he wanted.
Without saying a word, Li Shengli immediately paid for the bed and made an appointment with the store to have it delivered to his home.
Next, Li Shengli brought Han Qiuyun to Xidan Shopping Mall and spent money to buy a radio. This radio was really a heavy talker.
After buying things, Li Shengli rode his bicycle with Han Qiuyun on the back seat, with Han Qiuyun holding the chatterbox in his arms, and they returned home talking and laughing all the way, amid Han Qiuyun's joyful whispers. Li Shengli planned to decorate his room first.
"Hey, Shengli, why are you back so early? The person behind this must be your partner." The third aunt was a little surprised to see Li Shengli coming back so early.
"What's that in your arms?" The third aunt only then saw what Han Qiuyun was holding. "You bought a radio? Where did you get the ticket?"
The third aunt was a little surprised. The chatterbox in her family was bought by Old Yan with great difficulty, but Li Shengli bought a new one in the blink of an eye. He was so rich that he could decorate his house and buy a radio at the same time.
"Master Li, we're here." As they were talking, the man who delivered the furniture came. Seeing Li Shengli standing at the door, he quickly called on a few young men to work together to move the bed down.
"Master Li, where should we put this bed?" the leading man asked Li Shengli.
"Come here." Li Shengli didn't bother to talk to the three aunts. He first asked someone to take down the bed, move it to where he lived, and have someone assemble it.
"Girl, what are you doing?" The third aunt was confused by the series of people moving back and forth. When she saw Han Qiuyun standing aside, she walked over and asked.
"We went to get our marriage certificate today, and Shengli insisted on buying these things." Han Qiuyun complained about Li Shengli, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
The third aunt felt a little jealous when she saw Han Qiuyun's appearance. They couldn't be compared. Although Yan Bugui was good to her and they had never quarreled, they had never had a quarrel like what happened to Li Shengli. After all, Yan Bugui was well-known for his calculations.
After the installation master finished installing the bed for Li Shengli, Li Shengli invited everyone to sit down and have a glass of water. He gave each person a cigarette. After collecting the money, the installation master said hello to Li Shengli and left.
"Shengli, will you be able to survive after buying so many things?" said the third aunt in a sour tone.
"Hey, Third Aunt, this is a marriage, this matter can't be avoided." Li Shengli didn't care about the Third Aunt's tone. The Yan family is calculating by nature. Judging from Yan Bugui's style, this family will always be calculating against each other.
Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun cleaned up the room together. The wedding quilt needed to be brought over along with Han Qiuyun's dowry on the wedding day. Li Shengli could not get involved in this matter because Old Lady Han was watching over there.
On the weekend, Wang Defu and his wife came to the courtyard. "Shengli, you are almost ready, why don't you come to me so that I can help you." Chang Xuying looked at Li Shengli with some reproach.
"Oh, Master's wife, it's not that I don't need your help." Li Shengli said aggrievedly, "Qiuyun and I went to see these furniture together."
"Okay, this is the couple's hobby, don't mess around, go and see what needs to be prepared in the house." Wang Defu knew more and quickly found a job for Chang Xuying.
"Okay, okay, I'll go and take a look. You and your master can have a good talk." Chang Xuying said unhappily.
"Shengli, what are the plans for your wedding? Do you want me to plan it for you?" Wang Defu took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, Li Shengli quickly struck a match and lit it for Wang Defu.
"Master, what are the rules?" Li Shengli asked curiously after lighting a cigarette.
"How are you going to prepare for the wedding? You can't do it alone. So I'll ask your senior brother to bring some people and lend you two bicycles to help you." Wang Defu said. Li Shengli didn't plan to have a big wedding, so the necessary procedures had to be followed.
"Then thank you, Master, Master's wife, and fellow brothers." Li Shengli did not refuse. With so many people around, Han Qiuyun would also feel proud.
"As for the banquet, you don't have to worry about it. Your master still has some dignity." When Wang Defu said this, there was an uncharacteristically domineering look on his face.
"Thank you, Master. I won't be polite with you." Li Shengli had no intention of being polite with Wang Defu. The two discussed the details of the wedding.
"Have you finished your chat?" Chang Xuying walked out of the house and asked curiously when she saw the two people smoking.
"We've discussed it." Wang Defu nodded and replied, "How's the house? Is it ready?"
"Everything is here. When the day comes, I'll clean up the house and put up some happy characters on it." Chang Xuying nodded.
"Okay, Shengli, we'll leave first and come back on the 11th. You should prepare everything else." Wang Defu said to Li Shengli.
Li Shengli nodded to indicate that he understood. For people like those in this courtyard, there is nothing wrong with not inviting them to a wedding banquet. They should at least give them some wedding candy.
Li Shengli took some time to buy some candies, and wrapped them in red paper along with some peanuts and melon seeds into small packages.
On the evening of the 11th, Chang Xuying brought her son and daughter-in-law to clean Li Shengli's room. There was nothing much to clean in the room, except that they had to paste "囍" characters on the walls and windows and make the new bed.
"Shengli, you are getting married too." Wang Zhenbang sighed as he looked at Li Shengli.
"Zhenbang, look at the tone of your voice. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are very old." Li Shengli complained unhappily.
"Haha, that's right." Then Wang Zhenbang began to impart some of his own experiences to Li Shengli. Although Li Shengli didn't really need these things, he still listened carefully and agreed from time to time while listening.
After dinner, people in the courtyard also came to the front yard to join in the fun.
