Chapter 60: With courtesy

The new school is very strict about the study style, especially for junior high school students like them, they can't relax for a moment.

Fortunately, Li Wei had Li Jianbo beside her, who helped her check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and her grades improved rapidly. May Day arrived in a blink of an eye.

Li Xia got married on May Day, and they were both from the Li family, so it was impossible not to go back. Li Minghua and his wife closed their shop three days in advance and returned to the countryside to help. There were only two students left in the city, Li Wei and Li Jianbo.

They only had one day off on May Day, so Li Wei naturally still remembered the time Li Xia asked her for a gift. Although some of Li Xia's behaviors made Li Wei feel shameful, they were still a family after all. They had caused some trouble for them when they were at the uncle's house, so it seemed unjustifiable to not say anything.

Li Wei opened the money box and took a sum of money from it.

Then she pushed her out, but she walked several streets and didn't know what to give Li Xia. In the past, when sisters in the family got married, even those with distant relationships would still be given gifts. At that time, it was nothing more than gold and silver jewelry or self-made needlework, but here she couldn't afford to give away gold and silver jewelry, she didn't have time to do needlework, and Li Xia would definitely despise it. She went to the gift shop and saw that most of them were colorful and flashy things, or the prices were astonishing and her pocket couldn't support them.

After picking and choosing, Li Wei went to a store selling clothes and browsed around. Summer was coming, so she bought Li Xia a red skirt with white polka dots. I asked the store owner to carefully fold it and put it in a brown paper bag.

Early the next morning, she and her brother and sister Jian Bo rushed back to Yongning by car.

When they returned to the countryside, Li Xia had already dressed up and was waiting for the He family to greet them.

When Li Wei gave the prepared gift to Li Xia, Li Xia opened the bag in front of Li Wei and took out the skirt to compare. It should be wearable.

"Thank you." Li Xia's smile seemed like she liked it, and Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do I look good today?" Li Xia turned around in front of Li Wei. Li Wei Zixia looked at it carefully. She should have gone to the barber shop to have her hair styled, and she also sprayed some pungent hair spray. A big red velvet flower was inserted in the bun, and there were a bunch of small golden flowers hanging on her ears. ring. Her makeup was even more delicate than usual, with thick foundation and bright red lips. She was wearing a bright red dress. The dress was well cut and flattered her slim figure just right.

Li smiled and nodded and said, "It looks good, it looks good."

The smile on Li Xia's face became even brighter.

Li Jianbo came in and poured a glass of water. Seeing the two sisters talking and laughing, he thought to himself, when did the two of them have such a good relationship? He was really worried that Li Xia would lead his sister astray.

At 10:30 in the morning, the He family's wedding couple came. He Chao can drive a tractor, and he also drove a tractor when he came to welcome the bride. He Chao took Li Xia to pay homage to the ancestors of the Li family. When it was almost time, he helped Li Xia get on the tractor. At this time, Liu Chunzhi opened a red umbrella in time for Li Xia to hold. The tractor was loaded with a lot of dowry. There is a new cotton mattress and a brand new quilt. Next came the pots and pans, and a pair of bright red kettles with the word "happy" on them.

There was no drummer to play any festive music. He Chao got a tape recorder from somewhere, turned the volume up to the maximum, and played only festive songs.

The firecrackers roared and the tractor started. Then the wedding relatives and friends got on another tractor, and Li Minghua's family got on it, as well as Li Xia's maternal uncles, aunts, cousins, and sisters. A bus full of people. Li Wei was so squeezed that he couldn't even turn around.

The roads in the village were full of potholes, and the tractor was not as stable as a car. It bumped all the way, and the smell of diesel was unpleasant. If it hadn't been for the open top and the air circulation, she would have felt nauseous.

This journey felt like a torture for Li Wei, but it was just the same town, but a different village. The tractor followed the one in front and walked for more than an hour before finally arriving at He's house.

The relatives and friends of the He family have almost arrived, and they are just waiting for the bride to come in, salute and then start eating.

Li Wei felt uncomfortable all over after being bumped all the way, but when she thought about being bumped like this again when she went back, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

After the ceremony was completed, the banquet was held. The wedding party is a distinguished guest, and the banquet is arranged in the house.

Li Wei was hungry, and she swallowed hard as she watched the plates of chicken, duck, and fish being placed on the table.

The meal was quite good, but Li Wei just lowered his head to eat and stuffed his stomach in a hurry. Li Jianbo came over to urge her: "We're just afraid we have to leave early."

There was self-study in the evening, and she had two unfinished papers that she had to hand in before going to self-study. Li Wei wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Then let's go."

Although I still took the tractor when I went back, there were half as many people on it. It was no longer crowded, but it was still very bumpy. Li Wei had just finished eating, and his stomach was churning.

By the time they got back to the city after a long journey, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, but Li Wei didn't feel weak at all. The test paper was in front of her, but she couldn't write a word.

Her head was feeling dizzy, she must be sick.

Not long after, she felt her stomach growling and the pain was severe, so she quickly went to the toilet. But once I went there I couldn't stop. I kept going back and forth, and what I finally pulled was water. The body is even softer.

"Wei Wei, it's time for us to go." Li Jianbo walked out of the room, only to see Li Wei sitting on the wicker chair in the living room, his face was sallow and his lips had no color at all.

"What about you?"

"Second brother, please leave me alone. Go to school by yourself, and go to our class to ask for a leave for me."

There was no one else at home, and Li Jianbo didn't feel at ease even if he left. Seeing that Li Wei's condition was really bad, he reached out and touched Li Wei's forehead: "You have a fever. I'll take you to the hospital."

But Li Wei had no strength at all and couldn't sit on the bicycle. Li Jianbo carried her all the way to the hospital.

The doctor made a diagnosis and came to the conclusion: "Acute enteritis. It seems that he is dehydrated. Let's give him an infusion first."

When the nurse came to do a skin test on Li Wei, she instinctively resisted, but for such a big person, she was too embarrassed to complain about the pain. It was tested and there was no allergic reaction, so I got the medicine. The needle was buried in the back of her hand, and the transparent liquid slowly flowed into her body along the thin tube.

Li Wei really didn't have much energy, so he simply closed his eyes.

In the haze, she seemed to have returned to Chongqing Palace. The young emperor was pulling her sleeve and calling: "Mother."

Is she going back? Li Wei's consciousness gradually became blurred. At this moment, she no longer knew whether she was Li Wei in 1991 or the Queen Mother of Daqi.
