Chapter 974: Countdown to Marriage (Part 2)

After Han Li finished participating in the competition at Beijing Foreign Studies University, he lay flat at home for two days before Principal Wen called him back to school.

First, the school held a small-scale commendation meeting for Han Li in the "big dining hall". The Foreign Languages ​​Department asked Han Li to give the students present a beautiful spiritual chicken soup in the largest lecture hall.

Of course, the school also had prizes, a set of sportswear printed with the name of the country, a pair of half-high-top Huili shoes, a fountain pen, a stack of four notebooks, and a large enamel pot printed with the words "Yan Da Award".

Afterwards, Principal Wen took Han Li to the Foreign Affairs College and showed off to Professor Niu, who loved and hated him.

However, Professor Niu was not to be outdone. He directly called the three graduate students he led to mock Principal Wen, saying that although Principal Wen was a leader, he basically had no time to lead students in the future.

No matter how outstanding Han Li was, he was still someone else's graduate student. How could he have the nerve to bring him here to show off?

Principal Wen was naturally unconvinced, and the two immediately started to spray each other again.

Han Li and the three graduate students led by Professor Niu were very clear about the situation of the two people, and this was probably an opportunity for the two young people to talk and get to know each other.

So the four of them sneaked out of the noisy office, came to the sunshine outside, squatted and smoked and chatted.

These three people mainly studied international relations, and Han Li benefited a lot from chatting with them.

The same question, under their reminder and guidance, let Han Li understand more problems from the side.

How to say it, although the time of this conversation was very short, it really opened Han Li's eyes and made him realize that there are many people like them who sometimes have to work hard for a move of a neighboring country.

In addition to taking Han Li around the Foreign Affairs College, President Wen also went to Beijing Foreign Studies University, Renmin University of China, Yanjing University, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

However, at this time, President Wen changed the situation with Professor Niu. He still couldn't help showing off, but he became polite and gentle, and his showing off was not so offensive.

No matter which university he went to, Han Li, while being the background board, also established a preliminary relationship with the students brought to the scene by the tutors and teachers.

Although these students had good grades, they did not give Han Li a very different feeling as the three graduate students led by Professor Niu, but this may also be related to the specialization of skills.

Wuwu year. Jiazi month. Xinwei day, January 4th of the solar calendar, the sixth of the twelfth lunar month.

At this time, there are still ten days before Han Li's wedding day, and only eight days before the days of the Yanqing elders.

So today Han Li went to the school to formally ask for leave from his tutor Professor Zhang, and at the same time handed over an invitation card that he had written on red paper and gave to He Mi and others to cut, fold and glue, inviting Professor Zhang to attend his wedding if he has time.

Because Han Li had already given the invitation to Principal Wen yesterday, after he came out from Professor Zhang, he went to the teaching and research office of the English and German classes in the Foreign Languages ​​Department and called out Teacher Niu and Teacher Zhang. While handing over the invitation, he said that he was going home to get married and asked them to come over for a day if they had time.

After leaving here, Han Li went directly to the Chinese Department and found Zhang Yubo, his high school teacher, who is now a teacher in the Chinese Department of Yanda University and the teacher of Yun Yingying, He Mi, and Hou Yuhua.

Han Li didn't have so many acquaintances in the Chinese Department, so he went directly to the teaching and research office, but when he entered and hadn't spoken yet, Teacher Zhang asked with a smile.

"Han Li, are you going home with the honor of a big victory to prepare for the wedding?"

Han Li was stunned by what Teacher Zhang said, but he immediately handed over his invitation with a smile and said.

"Teacher Zhang, you are really smart. You have already predicted everything before I even opened my mouth."

"What smart prediction? Yun Yingying asked me for leave for your wedding a long time ago. I also know that Principal Wen has been dragging you back and forth all day recently. You came to me today as if nothing had happened. What else could it be but going home to prepare for your wedding?"

"Haha. This is because you can see the big picture from the small details. Most people..."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense with me here. Take Yun Yingying and the others home to prepare. Normally, teachers can't help much, but I will definitely go there two days before your wedding."

Han Li chatted with Teacher Zhang for a long time before leaving. Then he came to Yun Yingying's class and took them out of school amid the cheers of these classmates.

Han Li and his group first returned to their home in Laohudong to pack, seal the fire, and lock the door. Then they took the two dogs and rode bicycles or took buses to Cotton Alley.

Getting married is a simple matter for Han Li, because he only needs to follow his family's arrangements for many things.

But it is a very tedious and worrying matter for parents. They are always afraid that if they miss one thing, their children's wedding will not be perfect, which will leave a topic for neighbors to talk about for many years.

So Han's father and mother often check the items written on the paper repeatedly, and at the same time ask other experienced people to see if there is anything they have missed.

When Han Li brought Yun Yingying back home, he saw this scene. Han's father and mother sat together, one holding a piece of paper full of items and reading it, and the other holding a notebook to check.

"Mom, Dad, we're back."

Han's mother: "Son, Yingying, you're back. You must be frozen. Come sit by the stove and warm yourself up."

Han's father: "Why are you back at this time?"

"Mom, Dad, I've finished my work recently, so I asked for leave from school to come back and help with some work."

Han's father: "There's nothing for you to do at home, but it's good to come back a few days earlier. There are still a few invitations for you to deliver tomorrow."

Han's mother: "Son, you and Yingying should discuss what's missing from the wedding recently, and also go to the in-laws' place to ask for their opinions."

"Mom, didn't you rely on Aunt Wen from the Dongcheng District Street Office for communication and matchmaking?"

"You silly boy"

At this time, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi came back, and the room entered a stage of collective thinking.

As they chatted, it was already late. Han Li suggested setting up a pot for dinner. After getting everyone's consent, he asked Yun Yingying and He Mi to clean the copper pot at home, cut the cabbage, and soak the vermicelli. He rode his bicycle alone to the street to buy mutton and other ingredients.

At this time, some people who had received the news of Han Li's marriage in the distance had already asked for leave and rushed to the nearest train station.
