The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Li Ming was even happier. He had lost two of his teeth because of that damn hammer. He felt relieved now. It was just right. One tooth for one old hen. It wasn't a loss for him, Yan Jiecheng!

This time Yan Jiecheng will learn a lesson. I guess since Li Ming saw Aunt Yan taking Yan Jiecheng out this morning, the possibility that they went to see a dentist is not low!

Chapter 265 Triggering Tasks from Yi Zhonghai

Donglaishun mutton hotpot.

Li Ming and his group of six were eating enthusiastically in Donglaishun.

"Hiss~, oh, I forgot to tell you something."

Li Ming swallowed the spicy lamb in his mouth, grabbed a soda and took a sip and said. The other people who were eating happily also pricked up their ears and listened.

"The steel mill has given our purchasing department a task. Each person must purchase at least 20 kilograms of food every month. Then we don't have to report to work at the steel mill. In other words, I don't have to go to the steel mill every day in the future."

"You can get more involved in our business. Go back and think about it. You can tell me if there is anything that needs improvement in our business. I happen to be free during this period, so let's clean up the mess."

"Okay, Brother Li."

"These 20 kilograms of food are really nothing to you, haha."

"The steel mill is paying us anyway, so it doesn't matter where we sell it to."

"That's it."

"It's a good opportunity to take care of our own business."

Li Ming turned to look at Ma Hua, "If you have anything to do, just come to the Siheyuan to find me. I don't think I will have much time left in the steel mill."

"Oh, I understand. Don't worry, Master!"

"Okay, let's continue eating. After you finish eating, you can go back to work and we'll go home."

Li Ming smiled and put another handful of mutton into his bowl, then lowered his head to work.

After eating and drinking, the group dispersed. Li Ming and Niu Zhuang walked towards the courtyard together.

"Brother Li, my sister also wants to help us. She has asked me several times, and she is really bored at home alone."

Niu Zhuang thought for a long time while walking on the road before he spoke. Niu Lili stared at Li Ming with eyes wide open, her eyes filled with eager light.

"Okay, I see that Lili is really good at doing statistics for us. It just so happens that we are a few grown men who are careless. From now on, we can let Lili do the work of counting food distribution here!"

"yeah!"

When the little girl heard Li Ming's agreement, she jumped up and patted her chest to assure Li Ming, "Brother Mingzi, don't worry, I will do my best!"

"Okay, okay, from now on, Lili's salary will be paid according to me. How about ten dollars a month?"

Li Ming smiled and touched Niu Lili's head and asked, this price is not low, mainly because Niu Lili is still young and can only do statistical work, and can't do much else, right?

Although the girl is careful, if she throws the job to others, they won’t even ask for money!

"No, I don't want money, Brother Mingzi."

Niu Lili pouted her face and shook her head to refuse.

Niu Zhuang also waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother Li, Lili really doesn't plan to ask for a salary. She is just bored at home. Sometimes I am worried about her being alone at home, so I asked you for it."

“You can’t give me a salary!”

"Well, what are you talking about? Lili works for us, so what if I don't pay her?"

Li Ming doesn't care about their thoughts. For Li Ming, if you are worth my money, then I will spend money on you. If you are not worth it, then I will throw it away rather than give it to you.

Obviously, although Niu Lili is still young, this girl is really good at statistics and deserves a big black ten this month.

Seeing the courtyard right in front of him, Li Ming saw that the brother and sister were about to refuse, so he just waved his hand and put an end to the matter.

"Okay, just do as I say! As long as Lili can do a good job, ten yuan a month is fine. When Lili grows up, I will give her a raise!"

After saying this, Li Ming took a long step and walked towards his own courtyard, while the Niu brothers and sisters stood aside and watched awkwardly and helplessly.

They really didn't plan to ask for salary, but Li Ming decided it for them directly, so there was nothing they could do about it.

"Hey, tell me what to do about this."

Niu Zhuang's honest face was full of regret, and he was afraid that this incident would make the relationship between them worse.

"Brother, it's okay. I see that Brother Mingzi is not angry. Since Brother Mingzi said so, I will collect my salary!"

Niu Lili patted her eldest brother's hand and consoled him, "I will definitely not let Brother Mingzi spend this money in vain."

Niu Zhuang looked at his sister's determined eyes, and thought about how Li Ming didn't show any sign of being angry, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Let's do this first, and I'll tell the others when the time comes."

Niu Zhuang is not a indecisive person. He will just let his sister do a good job when the time comes. Although he had planned to do a good job before, he must do better this time!

After figuring it out, Niu Zhuang immediately took his sister and strode home.

On the other side, when Li Ming entered the courtyard, he saw Aunt Yan and Yan Jiecheng again. They looked like they had just arrived home. However, Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to the Yan family. He just glanced at them and went home.

After returning home and moving a recliner out from inside, Li Ming sat on the recliner and began to enjoy life. If it wasn't a little late, he could go fishing again!

. . . . . .

It was not until around four o'clock in the afternoon that Li Ming saw that it was almost time to cook, so he got up from the recliner, stretched his body, and prepared to go home to cook.

Since he doesn't have to report to work at the steel mill every day, there's no problem in helping with cooking at home. After all, they all work all day, and Li Ming is the only one at home who has nothing to do, right?

By the time Li Ming finished preparing dinner and the aroma wafted through the yard, the workers from the steel mill who had just gotten off work were returning home one after another.

Li Ming had nothing to do, so he leaned against the door of his house, watching people coming and going outside, waiting for his parents to come home.

Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard before seeing his parents.

It was nothing that Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard first, the main thing was that a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding, the system detected that Yi Zhonghai was trying to pretend to be sick to avoid punishment from the Street Office, and planned to implement it soon so as not to affect his normal work at the steel mill. If Yi Zhonghai is allowed to avoid punishment, it will be an unfair treatment to the host's previous behavior against Yi Zhonghai, so the following task is hereby issued.]

[1. The host exposed Yi Zhonghai's feigning illness in front of the public so as to avoid punishment from the Street Office and not participate in the patrol of the joint defense team.]

[Choosing this task will reward the host with 1 chance to draw a lottery, 10 big black ten, and one random skill proficiency. ]

Chapter 266 Li Family Chat

[2. The host helped Yi Zhonghai become a real patient, which made him unable to participate in the joint defense team patrols and unable to go to work normally, thus achieving the achievement of helping others.]

[Choose this task to reward the host with 2 lucky draw opportunities, 20 big black ten, 1 second-hand bicycle, and 1 random skill]

[Ding, host, please choose which task to complete? ]

Li Ming was stunned when he saw the task given by the system. Wow, the system is so mature? It even provides two options?

Speaking of which, Yi Zhonghai is quite cunning! He could even come up with such an idea? It seems that this old man is exhausted from working during the day and patrolling at night!

Li Ming glanced at Yi Zhonghai, whose spirit and energy had plummeted, and saw Yi Zhonghai and his "green hat brother" walking towards the central courtyard with their heads down. When someone greeted them on the way, they just responded hastily.

Especially Jia Dongxu, he took one deep step and one shallow step, and those who didn't know him would think he was walking on the mud! According to this situation, the pace of the green hat brother to start the next stage of his life will definitely be getting faster and faster!

"Secondly, as a five-good youth, it is my duty to help others."

Li Ming silently chose the second task in his heart. At least in Li Ming's opinion, the second task was much easier to handle than the first one.

The first option is to expose Yi Zhonghai's disguise in front of everyone. By then, Yi Zhonghai will definitely hate him even more. It would be bad if the hatred value rises sharply.

At least Li Ming didn't plan to let Yi Zhonghai's hatred value rush to 100 early, and then find a way to kill him. It's not worth it! Such a good resource is of course better to reuse it!

The second option is to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai's night patrol and give him a hard hit on the leg and be done with it. He won't know who did it, and he won't have to patrol or go to work. He can also help Li Ming complete the task and fulfill Yi Zhonghai's idea. It's a win-win situation!

You are not in good health, so don't force yourself to go to work. It's really not good for you. It's better to rest more at home early and replenish your body.

Besides, Yi Zhonghai is not short of money. Not going to work for a month or two will not have any impact on Yi Zhonghai!

"Is the meal ready?"

As soon as Comrade Li Weiguo entered the courtyard, he saw his son standing at the gate. He walked closer and smelled the aroma of food.

"It's ready. I'm waiting for you to come home for dinner."

"Hey, it has to be my son!"

Comrade Li Weiguo said happily and walked into the house with Li Rui. As soon as the three of them entered the house, Li's mother followed them into the house.

"My son has prepared dinner."

As Li's mother spoke, she hung her coat and bag on the hanger, her face full of relief. Look, this is her son!

Isn't this just a waste of time for the guy next door who eats shit in the middle of the night?

"Brother, I'll go serve the food, you take a rest."

Li Rui was very diligent and rushed into the kitchen. After a while, she brought the prepared meal to the table. Li Mingle had someone to help him and sat at the dining table waiting for the meal to start.

"If you don't have anything else to do in the future, I can just cook dinner."

Li Ming said something to his family and started to eat.

"Okay, then your dad and I will enjoy the good life!"

Mother Li was very satisfied looking at her two children.

"By the way, Mingzi, please accompany me to work tomorrow. Then you can tell Master Liu to clean up our old house."

"Okay, no problem, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"By the way, what about the food over there?"

Li Ming didn't even raise his head. "Don't worry, everything is tidied up. I put it in our closet."

When renovating the two houses, Li Ming reserved quite a few storage cabinets. Even now, after moving all the food from the old house to the new house, they are still not full.

"That's good. Those closets that Mingzi cleaned up were really helpful!"

Father Li took a sip of the wine. As for why he sipped it instead of drinking it, emmmmm... When it is not a festival, Comrade Wu Fang's requirement is to drink one or two glasses of wine a day to taste it. Why make so much trouble!

"Don't worry, your son is very reliable."

Li Ming said this cheerfully, took another sip of water, and lowered his head to continue cooking.

Look at Li Rui, the little girl didn’t say a word when she sat at the dinner table, but just concentrated on eating. How nice!

. . . . . .

After the Li family of four finished dinner and cleaned up, they sat in the small living room and chatted.

"Yan Jiecheng not only got beaten last night, but he also lost two teeth."

When Li Ming heard his parents discussing the beating that Yan Jiecheng got last night, he added, "This must be added. People on the street tomorrow are counting on these gossips to get by."

Besides, if Li's mother knew about it, then the street office would also know about it. If the street office knew about it, then the matchmakers would also know about it.

If this continues, Yan Jiecheng wants to get married? What kind of daydreaming is that! Just stay single!

Li Ming had no intention of messing with him. He just wanted He Yuzhu to be single. But Yan Jiecheng insisted on coming along. What else could he do?

"Wow! That's quite a cruel move!"

Father Li was surprised. He was just surprised at which hero had done it. He had no sympathy at all! Speaking of sympathy, who would sympathize with the two hens that were killed in their family?

"This Yan Jiecheng must have gotten into trouble. Maybe it's revenge from someone outside!"

"What's the point of swearing in the toilet? With his character, he deserves to be beaten for swearing!"

Li Rui continued to add fuel to the fire from the side. Although she didn't know whether her brother was involved, she just blamed outsiders!

Even if it was planned by her brother, it has nothing to do with her brother!

Mother Li nodded in agreement, "The Yan family is not well-off, they must have offended someone, otherwise, according to Yan Fugui's character, he would have been furious long ago!"

Li Ming laughed in his heart after hearing this. There was only one possibility: he, Yan Jiecheng, wanted to call the police, but he really didn't see what the person who beat him looked like!

When Wang Da and Wang Er took action, they not only wore masks, but also spoke in a low voice. Yan Jiecheng would never have expected this!

Not to mention whether Yan Jiecheng could think of it or not, even if Jia Dongxu was beaten up last night, Jia Dongxu might not be able to recognize who the two people were!

Zhongyuan, Yi Zhonghai's house.

"My dear, how are you preparing for what I told you last time?"

Aunt Tan looked at Yi Zhonghai, whose spirit was getting worse and worse, and said worriedly.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "I'm ready. I'll be on patrol tomorrow. Many people have seen my condition in the past two days. I'll pretend to be lame and come back tomorrow night, and then everything will be ready."
