Siheyuan: Security Chief, suppressing the whole courtyard

"What are you celebrating?" He Yushui asked, "What's the good news? Oh, Sister Chunmei, are you pregnant?"

Sha Zhu laughed: "What do you know, little brat? Mengzi and Chunmei have only been married for a few days. Even if she is pregnant, it is impossible to find out now. It is your brother Mengzi who has a job. He is now in the patrol team of our factory security department."

"Security department?" He Yushui was startled. "This is a good job. It only takes a little time. It's not as tiring as working in a workshop. By the way, Brother Mengzi, how did you get into the steel mill?"

"That's what happened..."

When Sha Zhu explained the matter, he also mentioned the incident in which Li Meng challenged the security department, which frightened He Yushui so much that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Oh my god, Brother Mengzi, you are so fierce!"

The group was chatting animatedly, and Sha Zhu was also busy with his work.

Soon, the delicious food was served.

The fragrance filled the whole yard.

"Grandson, what delicious food are you going to make?"

tata tao...

The deaf old lady walked in without knocking, leaning on a cane.

"Hey? You old lady are really good at coming to the door just before mealtime. Your nose is sharper than that of a dog." Sha Zhu grinned.

When the deaf old lady heard this, she was furious, but her face was full of confusion: "What did you say? I can't hear you clearly."

"Well, you can't hear a word of bad words." Sha Zhu laughed and said, "I mean, old lady, have you eaten? If not..."

Sha Zhu wanted to say that if they hadn't eaten yet, let's eat together, but then he thought about the boast he had just made to Li Meng, "I wonder who the hell dares to come over and eat for free? You watch Mengzi, if anyone dares to come over and make a fuss, I'll just scold them back!"... and he stopped talking.

"Haha, I haven't eaten yet, I haven't eaten yet."

The deaf old lady licked her lips, swallowed her saliva, glanced at the dining table, sniffed, and almost drooled.

"I didn't eat..." Sha Zhu was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Li Meng's expressionless face and remembered the boast he had just made.

I thought to myself that I couldn't lose face in front of Mengzi no matter what. Wouldn't that make people look down on me?

So he made up his mind and said, "You didn't eat? If you didn't eat, go beg for food on the street!"

Deaf old lady: ???

"Hey! You little bastard, how can you talk to your ancestors like that?"

"Haha, why did you hear that?"

Sha Zhu stood up and gently pushed her out the door: "Alright, old lady, these vegetables and meat were bought by Ren Mengzi, I have no right to treat you to a meal, you should just go and have a bite with your family."

Then he closed the door and inserted the plug with his backhand.

"How's Mengzi?" Sha Zhu said proudly, "Brother, keep your word, right? No one can do anything about the first, second, third uncles or the deaf old ladies. No one can come here to get a bite of food today!"

Li Meng laughed.

He Yushui also gave him a thumbs up: "Silly brother, you are awesome!"

"That's it." Sha Zhu became more and more proud: "Come on, cheers, I hope you find a job..."

......

After the deaf old lady was kicked out of the house by Sha Zhu, she was so angry that her lungs almost exploded and she kept stamping her feet.

Yi Zhonghai came over and asked, "What's wrong, old lady?"

"What happened? We were kicked out!"

The deaf old lady said angrily, "I know that Li Meng has joined the security department. I must make something delicious and have a drink with Sha Zhu to celebrate. So I thought about asking for some meat, but I never expected that Sha Zhu, that little bastard, pushed me out and said that if I didn't eat, I would have to beg on the street! Zhonghai, what do you say..."

Yi Zhonghai was also stunned when he heard this, and wondered: "That's impossible, Zhuzi is not that person, he is usually a joker, but he is still good to you, he will never refuse to give you food when you ask him for it."

The deaf old lady said, "Yeah, who knows what kind of madness he had today... I know, it must be Li Meng! It must be Li Meng, the little beast, who instigated Sha Zhu!"

"Well, that should be it." Yi Zhonghai sighed, "That Li Meng doesn't get along with anyone in our compound. Except for Sha Zhu's family, he doesn't get along with anyone else. Come on, old lady, don't be angry anymore. Come to my house and have a bite."

The deaf old lady pouted and said, "Do you have cumin lamb slices or stir-fried kidney slices?"

Yi Zhonghai laughed: "Hey, this old lady is quite picky. She doesn't have any of the things you mentioned, just fried eggs and rice with lard. Do you want to eat it?"

"eat!"

"Haha, let's go then."

As they walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house, the deaf old lady muttered, "This Li Meng is really a piece of shit. He has only been here for a few days, but he doesn't take anyone seriously. Zhonghai, you are the boss of our courtyard. You have to teach this guy a lesson. Otherwise, you will lose your dignity in the courtyard. Who will listen to you in the future?"

Chapter 32: Buddy will take you to pick up money!

The next morning.

[Today's sign-in task: sign-in at Xinhua Bookstore, reward: universal search and browsing. ]

"Universal search and browsing?" Li Meng was startled: "What is this?"

The unknown was full of freshness. After the couple finished their meal in the morning, Li Meng said, "Wife, I won't go to the factory with you today. I'm going to the bookstore to buy some books first."

Zhang Chunmei knew that he had some medical skills, so she asked, "Boss, are you planning to buy some medical books?"

"Oh, yes." Li Meng smiled and said, "By the way, buy some other books and read them when you have nothing to do."

"That's fine." Zhang Chunmei rummaged through the drawer and handed it over, "Here's the book purchase voucher."

"Okay, wife."

After exiting the alley, the two went their separate ways.

Li Meng trotted all the way to Xinhua Bookstore.

It was a coincidence that I met an acquaintance just after arriving at the bookstore.

"Eh? What a coincidence, Brother Yu."

The person in front of him was none other than his fishing friend, Yu Mancang.

Yu Mancang was also pleasantly surprised and said, "What a coincidence, Xiao Li. By the way, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Yu Li. Yu Li, and this is my friend Li Meng whom I met while fishing. He is an expert at fishing."

"Hello, Comrade Yu Li." Li Meng said with a smile, "Tsk, Brother Yu, I didn't expect your daughter to be so beautiful."

Yu Li is indeed not bad looking, except that her face is a little round. Her facial features are regular and her eyes are bright and clear, so she can be considered pretty.

But Li Meng didn't expect that Yu Li was Yu Mancang's daughter.

"Hello, Comrade Li Meng." Yu Li said with a smile, "My dad always mentions you. I won't tell you guys for now. Dad, I'm going to go play with my friends."

"Haha, go ahead and go home early."

Yu Li left with a smile, and Yu Mancang said with a smile: "Girls grow up and can't be kept at home. Well, now I have a boyfriend. Don't be surprised, Xiao Li."

"Does your daughter have a boyfriend?"

"Yes, he lives in Nanluoguxiang, his last name is Yan."

"Yan Jiecheng?"

"Yes, Xiao Li, do you know each other?"

Li Meng smiled and said, "How could I not recognize him? He is the resident in our front yard."

"Wow, what a coincidence." Yu Mancang asked, "Tell me, old brother, what do you think of that young man?"

After all, he is his daughter's boyfriend. Although they are not talking about marriage so soon, in his opinion, it is just a matter of time.

It's always a good idea to get to know your son-in-law in depth in advance.

Li Meng thought for a moment and said, "Yan Jiecheng is a smart guy, but it doesn't matter what he is like. What matters is that his family environment is not very good."

"Oh?" Yu Mancang asked curiously, "Why is it not possible?"

"His family is very stingy, especially his father. He would pay for meals with his own son. Not only the meals, but also the electricity bill... Forget the electricity bill. Even if his father lets his son ride his bicycle once, he would charge for it."

After all, they are fishing buddies, and Li Meng doesn't want his daughter to jump into the fire pit.

Who would have thought that Yu Mancang only frowned after hearing this: "Yes, it's a bit stingy, but it's normal these days. Isn't it the same for every family? Life is so hard... Well, Xiao Li, I still have to go to work. I won't tell you now. Let's go fishing together some other time."

"Haha, okay, take care, Brother Yu."

Li Meng did not try to persuade him anymore. He had already reminded Yu Mancang that if the other person didn't take it to heart, no one could help him.

Entering the Xinhua Bookstore, Li Meng randomly picked up a book on traditional Chinese medicine and bought it.

[Ding, sign-in successful, reward: universal search and browsing. ]

The moment the prompt sounded, Li Meng noticed that there was something new in his mind.

That's a long search box.

As the thought arose, a line of words appeared in the search box, and then a large amount of text began to emerge in my mind.

"Hey? Isn't this Baidu?"

Li Meng became interested and tried various searches while walking towards the steel mill.

He was surprised to find that this universal search and browsing tool could not only search for various types of information, but also search for various types of books, literary works, etc.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Investiture of the Gods...everything is available!

"That's great!"

Li Meng was overjoyed. The patrol team he was in was responsible for patrolling the production area. They had nothing to do every day and were very bored.

You can't just slack off with this book in hand, right?

Now with this universal search and browsing, who can detect if I read secretly in my mind?

It’s really a great tool for slacking off!

"And... it has more benefits than just that."

"Map of the 1960 Forbidden City!"

As soon as I thought about it, a huge real-life map appeared in my mind.

"Interesting, quite interesting..."

......

Li Meng spent the entire morning playing with the universal search and browsing app in his mind.

Finally I chose to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.

Li Meng is going to the cafeteria to get his meal.

Before he reached the destination, he was stopped by another member of the security department.

"Mengzi, come here, I'll teach you how to pick up money."

He was a man about 26 years old, named Zhang Xiaolong. He was thin, but had muscular body and was very strong. He was in charge of public security in the living area.

During the previous "competition", this guy was the best fighter.

Of course, he was defeated by Li Meng.

He was really defeated by Li Meng. Although they had just met, their relationship was pretty good.

"Picking up money?" Li Meng was stunned: "Brother Long, what money are you picking up?"

"Well, just follow me. I'll teach you how to make extra money today."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Zhang Xiaolong walked in front, and Li Meng followed behind in confusion.

As we walked, we suddenly heard the loud laughter of the female workers and the begging for mercy of the male workers coming from a room.

"Did you see it? These old ladies are catching people looking at melons. To put it bluntly, this is against the law. We should take action if we see it, but looking at melons is a common thing in the factory. The law cannot punish everyone. These old ladies are fierce. We should just pretend we didn't see anything if we saw it."

Continuing to walk forward and turning a few more corners, Zhang Xiaolong said, "It's lunch time now. Basically everyone goes to the cafeterias to get food, so at this time there are those dishonest people who sneak together to mess around... Look, isn't this it?"

Zhang Xiaolong made a gesture of silence and pointed to his left.

Li Meng looked inside and saw a man and a woman hugging and kissing each other.

"Mengzi, you see, they are about the same age, and the younger one is younger. They are basically a couple. Even though they haven't gotten married, there's no need for us to really arrest them and parade them through the streets. As long as they have no grudge against us, we can just ask for some money."
