Chapter 218 Set a Date
After Han Li sent the Yun sisters home that night, he started to get busy when he got home.
First, he put all the things such as the kang cabinet and kang table in the middle of the room, and then started to decorate the room. However, Han Li only planned to decorate the area around the kang. If he decorated everything, it would be a bit too ostentatious, which was not in line with his personality.
During this process, Han Li remembered that his piece of red was still on the ground, so he quickly got it to the decomposition space for storage.
The first step in decorating the wall is to make a circle of keels around to support the wooden boards. This keel cannot be large, otherwise the gap will be too large after the wooden boards are placed and it will be easy to break if people lean on it. This keel cannot be small, otherwise its volume cannot pull the riveted wooden boards.
However, Han Li already had experience in these when he was making the bathroom. There were ready-made materials in the decomposition space. He picked up the hammer and quickly fixed this circle of keels.
The next step is to inlay the decomposed wooden boards one by one on the keel. Han Li pays attention to the cleanliness of the wall, so he deliberately made these wooden boards of different sizes and lengths.
The effect looks a bit messy at first glance, and most people may think that Han Li's craftsmanship is not very good. But they don't know that this is exactly what he wants.
These jobs sound simple, but you will know that they are not simple at all after you really get started.
Even if Han Li has the help of the golden finger, he was already very sleepy when he worked until the early morning. These jobs only finished two walls, and the most difficult windows and roofs only had the keel laid.
Han Li rubbed his eyes and thought that he had told Yun Yingying that he would give her a surprise tomorrow, but now it seems that his health is the most important. Forget it, my wife is not waiting to come in, so it's not too late to do these things tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. After comforting himself, Han Li put down the quilt, took off his clothes, and went to play chess with Zhou Gong.
The two sisters of the Yun family were lying in the quilt and whispering at this time, and Yun Jingjing touched the ring in her hand and said.
"My brother sent me some more money today. Should we go buy some clothes for Han Li some other day?"
"Brother Li received a package with a new set of clothes today. So there's no need for us to buy them, right?"
"Are you stupid? How can this be the same? This is your intention. Do you understand intention?"
"Oh, you can't run around these two days. I'll see if anyone wants to go with you tomorrow."
*
The next day, Han Li continued to work on the house after exercising.
Although Han Li only finished two walls, it was enough to surprise the Yun sisters. Originally, they only heard Han Li mention it and didn't care too much.
Who would have thought that the decoration of the two walls would add so much color to this adobe house? Looking at the window and the keel on the roof, you can tell that Han Li wants to finish it all. The Yun sisters are already looking forward to the effect after everything is done.
"Brother Li, the walls you made are really beautiful, which makes the grade of this room go up immediately."
"Build a nest to attract the phoenix. How can we make the phoenix live in it willingly if we don't make the room beautiful? But we are just here to prevent soil from falling and mice, not to improve the grade for enjoyment. Remember."
"Got it. I don't think I'm that stupid."
Yun Yingying helped Han Li pass the wooden board, and Yun Jingjing cooked in the outer room.
After the meal was ready, Han Li put everything aside, and the three of them sat together to eat and said.
"Don't do this during the day. After dinner, Yingying will follow me to deliver letters to everyone. After I come back, I will go to find the two village leaders and tell them about this matter first, because they must be invited to the scene when the banquet is set up, so that our affairs can be considered legitimate in Shanghe Village, and some unnecessary troubles can be avoided in the future. After I come back from them, we can decide which day to set up the banquet for guests."
Yun Yingying nodded repeatedly to this, and Yun Jingjing asked while eating.
"How many tables do you plan to set up? How many dishes on each table? Later, Yingying and I can also figure out how to arrange the meat at home."
Han Li thought for a while and said, "We can't have a big celebration now. Invite Hao Hongmin, He Mi, Zhang Xiangjun and others who have good relations to help steam some buns. As for the plates, you can arrange them as long as they are an even number.
On the day of the event, we will set up two tables, one table on each side of the two courtyards. Hao Hongmin, He Mi and others will have the feast in your courtyard, and the village and team leaders will be placed here. When the time comes, just let Zhang Xiangjun accompany them."
"What about the others?"
"It is important to invite people to weddings. No villagers should come. In this regard, Yingying and I will go to send candy to those who have good relations the next day.
But it is better to make more stews one day. If there are educated youth coming, we will add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. We can't turn people away on such a happy day."
After the three of them finished their meal, they had almost finished talking. Yun Jingjing stayed at home to clean up the dishes.
Han Li took Hao Hongmin's remittance, Yang Xiuying's package, and everyone's letters, and went out with Yun Yingying.
The main reason was that Hao Hongmin had a remittance, so he had to explain it to her in person, otherwise Yun Yingying could just go there herself.
Han Li had become a person when he came out of Hao Hongmin's house, and Yun Yingying stayed to talk to them.
Then he went to the Youth Farm to deliver the letter to Qi Ruying and Yuan Hongying, and then to Zhang Xiangjun and Wu Lili's homes.
Finally, Han Li went to the homes of Village Chief Zhao and Team Leader Liang and told them about his marriage to Yun Yingying.
Village Chief Zhao puffed his pipe and said, "Getting married? Why in such a hurry? Do your family know about this?"
In fact, in order to prevent his family from making a special trip here, Han Li sent a separate letter to Han's father yesterday.
In the letter, he implicitly said that he and Yun Yingying were getting along very well now, but it was a little beyond the feelings of ordinary people.
Finally, he said in the letter that he would take Yun Yingying home to show them after the autumn harvest next year, and finally reminded Han's father not to let Han's mother see this letter. Han's father would definitely help to take the blame.
But the performance should still be performed, Han Li said with an embarrassed smile.
"My parents know that Yun Yingying and I are dating, but I don't plan to tell them about the marriage for the time being. After all, it's not easy to come here from Sijiu City, and my father and mother have their own jobs. If they are trapped by the heavy snow when they arrive here, it will affect national construction.
Next year, according to regulations, we can go back to visit our family after the autumn harvest next year. At that time, we will go back directly to give them a surprise."
At this time, Captain Liang said on the side: "Are you sure that you will give your family a surprise instead of a shock by doing this? There won't be any other problems here?"
"No, absolutely not, we are just in love, how can there be other problems."
Village Chief Zhao glanced at Han Li and said: "No problem, they will transfer the house for no reason, and you are going to set up a wedding with Yun Yingying at this time?"
Village Chief Zhao is really well-informed. He knew about the house just after it was finalized yesterday, Han Li continued to say with a smile.
"Whose family doesn't have a hard time? Besides, it's normal for girls to be ignored at home."
"Since you've made up your mind, let's do it. Have you decided on a specific date?"
Han Li: "I'm here to report first. The date hasn't been decided yet."
Village Chief Zhao took out a yellowed book from the kang cabinet and said as he flipped through it.
"In the year of Guichou, October 28th is suitable for getting married, meeting relatives and friends, getting engaged, setting up beds, making livestock, and coming-of-age ceremonies. Ahem, these are all feudal superstitions and cannot be trusted."
Village Chief Zhao put away the yellowed book after he finished speaking, but Han Li touched his head and asked embarrassedly.
"I'm so confused, what day is today?"
"October 23rd."
"October 28th is a good date. If you are pregnant for ten months and both of you are boys, I will set it on this day. Please ask the village chief and the team leader to come early."
At this time, Team Leader Liang said, "Does Director Liu know about this?"
Han Li said with a wry smile, "If Aunt Liu knows about it, my mother will know about it. I want to find an appropriate opportunity to tell her. Before that, please keep it secret for a while."
Village Chief Zhao glanced at Han Li, put his pipe on the kang table and said slowly.
"It's hard to go out in winter because of the heavy snow. The village branch can only receive calls but not make calls, so we can't contact Director Liu under normal circumstances. But there will be many meetings before the spring plowing next year. At that time."
"Thank you, village chief, team leader. I will definitely take Yingying to visit Aunt Liu before the spring plowing."
Han Li hummed a little song after leaving Village Chief Zhao's house. Although he acted first and asked for permission later, he didn't regret it at all.
There are still five days from October 23rd to October 28th. At that time, my life will become a toast to the moon and the shadow.
When Han Li returned home, he found that there were many people sitting in the house.
It was not strange for Hao Hongmin and He Mi to be with Han Li, but why were Hou Yuhua and Zhang Shulan, the two newcomers, also there? Did they regret the house?
"Haha. Everyone is here."
"Brother Li, you are back."
Yang Xiuying saw Han Li coming back and her voice was raised before he sat down.
"Han Li, you are so mean. If Yingying hadn't told us today, would you not have said anything?"
"How could that be? I planned to tell everyone after setting a date."
"Have you set it?"
"Yes, it will be set in five days, which is October 28th."
As soon as Han Li finished speaking, He Mi, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head slightly, then raised his head and said with a smile.
"October 28, November 22 in the Gregorian calendar, this date sounds good. Do you need any help? Do you want to go to the village and invite a blessed person to come over and sit with us?"
