"Tsk tsk, this idiot, we clearly tried to stop him with good intentions, but this idiot didn't appreciate it. He is really not a good person!"

Li Ming complained as he looked at He Yuzhu's hatred value which had increased slightly.

"Open the panel and let me check my physical condition!"

"It's really getting slower and slower as time goes by. There haven't been any good fish bites recently. These ten consecutive pulls have dragged on for quite a while!"

Li Ming shook his head and turned off the panel, preparing to soak his feet comfortably.

Although it is a little late today, the courtyard is still quite lively. Everyone has gone out to see a movie, and when they come back they are naturally busy finishing up the things that have been delayed at home before going to bed.

Li Ming went out to get some hot water, and saw the Yan family opposite, sitting in the house chatting with the lights on!

Chapter 311 Jia Dongxu’s good days are over!

The warm spring breeze blew, the weather gradually became warmer, and the courtyard was often filled with a faint floral scent. Whenever Li Ming woke up early in the morning and smelled the fresh air mixed with the faint floral scent, this was the only time he didn't hate Yan Fugui, the second uncle of the courtyard.

It’s not that the Li family doesn’t grow flowers and plants, but the four of them have tried many times, but they failed to grow them every time, so they simply gave up.

In April in Sijiu City, the sky is as blue as a piece of glass hanging in the sky, dotted with a few white clouds. This scene is one of Li Ming's favorite.

After all, in later generations, to be honest, he had never seen it very often. Especially after the ban on setting off firecrackers, it was not like now that he could see this pleasant scene every day.

Yan Jiecheng's sallow face could not be completely restored, but his body had recovered. It was good to be young, and everything recovered quickly.

However, Yan Jiecheng, who already had difficulty finding a partner to marry, with his sallow face, had completely replaced He Yuzhu as the marriage problem in the Siheyuan.

After all, He Yuzhu is a regular employee of the steel rolling mill, right?

As for Yi Zhonghai, the lame old man from the Intermediate Court, after recuperating at home for such a long time, he is finally able to walk with the help of a cane. Two days ago, Li Ming heard Yi Zhonghai telling Jia Dongxu that he was going to work at the steel rolling mill in the next two days.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai stopped participating in the night patrols of the joint defense team, his complexion has been getting better day by day. Although there is a food shortage now, Yi Zhonghai's family is quite wealthy, and it has no impact on the two people in Yi Zhonghai's family.

During this month, the only thing worth mentioning is the deaf old lady in the backyard.

I don't know what's wrong with this old guy. When he saw Wu Xuanxuan, he called her his granddaughter. Wu Qiangguo was almost mad to death! If you think about it carefully, the old deaf man's routine was similar to what Li Ming experienced when he first came to the courtyard with the Li family.

In the end, it was only after Comrade Liu Lanfang pointed at the old deaf man's nose and cursed him for a long time that he finally vented his anger. No one would be happy if you did that, right?

Especially after they knew who this old deaf man in the courtyard was, Li Ming even suspected that this old man was planning to act as a matchmaker for He Yuzhu!

It's just like the deaf old lady in the original drama who cheated Lou Xiao'e. Anyway, this old thing has no good intentions!

Although He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy, they did not offend the Wu family.

One is that Yi Zhonghai is still a disabled person, and he is not sure if he can beat Wu Qiangguo. Wu Qiangguo practices Tai Chi in the outer courtyard every day, and his physique is definitely much better than that of Yi Zhonghai, who has half of his body buried in the ground!

As for the fact that He Yuzhu didn't dare to offend anyone, that was even simpler. The bastard still had a tiny hope that he could have a good time with Wu Xuanxuan!

Although He Yuzhu was depressed for a while after being rejected last time, it did not affect his mysterious confidence in himself at all!

. . . . . .

Qianer Hutong.

Li Ming was sitting carefree on a stone bench in the yard, drinking a pot of tea. Wang Da, Wang Er, Niu Zhuang and Niu Lili were counting and sorting goods in the yard.

Li Ming brought a lot of food when he came today, so they will have to be busy for a while!

"This jasmine tea smells really good! Where did you get it?"

Li Ming asked curiously.

Nowadays, it’s a big deal for ordinary people to drink some liquor, but I didn’t expect that he could also drink jasmine tea!

Basically, every month when the tea comes out, the capable people in the city will grab it away in advance. The most they can do is drink some of the high-quality tea, and they have to queue up!

"Well, this is a gift from one of our old customers."

Niu Zhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded.

"Hey, that's fine!"

Li Ming smiled and asked, "By the way, how much did you give?"

In his later life, Li Ming liked to drink tea, but at this age, he didn't drink much tea, and he might not even win a prize in the lucky draw of the damn system boss.

Although he likes drinking tea, he doesn't drink it seriously, mainly because he finds it tiring, and most of the time he just gulps it down!

Besides, he likes to drink jasmine tea, so he can’t tell the good from the bad of other teas, right?

It's just like drinking tea at Li Huaide's place!

Wang Da stretched out two fingers and shook them. "Two bags, I guess that's 2 kilograms."

"Okay, I just like to drink some of this jasmine tea. You guys keep one pound and I'll take one pound!"

Li Ming never knew what being polite meant, so he just took half. But he was not bad, because at least he left half for them!

A few people nodded with a smile. They didn't really like drinking this tea. They would rather drink some wine or soda!

"By the way, how was our shipment last month? I think we shipped quite a bit!"

Li Ming walked up to Niu Lili with a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "This is the finance officer of their gang, oh, no, the team. If you have any questions, just ask her!"

"Brother Mingzi, we got a big customer last month, who was introduced by our previous customer. Five of these nine companies ordered a lot from us."

Niu Lili said excitedly, "If you calculate it this way, I can earn a lot more than going to the black market, and it's safer!"

Li Ming nodded. This is not bad, but these "old men and young men" don't need them every month, so it is still necessary to sell them on the black market.

"That's not bad, but we should also get our black market business out of the spotlight again, otherwise those casual customers will think we're out of stock."

Li Ming said with a smile.

After hearing this, Wang Da, Wang Er and Niu Zhuang put down their work, turned around and looked at Li Ming with burning eyes.

"Brother Li, do you mean that we can start to deal with Jia Dongxu?"

"That's right. We prioritized getting rid of Jia Dongxu these days. It's not bad that his lackey has been safe for more than a month."

"After you deal with Jia Dongxu, don't go to the black market you often go to. Go to a black market in another place. Safety is the most important thing."

Li Ming has not forgotten what that bastard Jia Dongxu had done. He is delaying it for a month just to be on the safe side.

Now that Jia Dongxu has been able to hang around for another month, this bastard can be considered to have made a profit!

Not to mention that he is going to die next year according to the original plot. If he dies, it is his own death, and the accounts that should be settled before he dies must be settled!

"OK, no problem!"

Niu Zhuang grinned, revealing a row of neat big teeth.

"Brother Li, don't worry. We will definitely give him a proper beating this time!"

"Do you still remember how to clean up?"

Chapter 312 The Li Family Invites Guests for Dinner

Before Li Ming finished speaking, the little girl Niu Lili took out several sacks from somewhere and threw them on the ground.

The little girl's face was tense, "I've already prepared it. I'll provide the sack, and you brothers will provide the strength!"

"Look, I picked those smelly fertilizer bags. They have a strong smell!"

Li Ming was immediately amused by the little girl's actions. "Good, very good. It seems that Lili has been remembering it."

"That's for sure."

Wang Da and Wang Er also laughed out loud. Jia Dongxu's life was really over. A teenager was thinking about dealing with him every day. This was really the end!

"Don't smile like an idiot. Before we take action, we should use the old method. We should find out where the bastard is and then trap him directly!"

"You carry the bag with you. If there is a suitable opportunity, just go ahead and do it. It's best to do it at night. Do you understand?"

Li Ming reminded that although these people could be considered experienced to some extent, they still had to give proper instructions.

"Don't worry, Brother Li."

Niu Zhuang said naively.

"Yes, Lao Niu, don't put on the sack. Wait until others have put on the sack before you come out. It will be too conspicuous!"

The silly smile on Niu Zhuang’s face froze and he nodded awkwardly.

"Then I won't say any more. I hope Jia Dongxu's right leg will become lame this month."

After Li Ming had arranged everything, there was nothing else he needed to do, so he continued to sit at the stone table and began to drink tea.

He doesn't have to worry about the rest. This is the advantage of having people under him. Otherwise, Li Ming has to do everything, which would be very troublesome.

Just like before he trained his younger brothers, when he wanted to go out and beat someone up he had to choose the time to go out for a walk after dinner!

How good it is now. She can just move her mouth. He doesn't know if she will break her legs by running, but she knows that things can be done.

. . . . . .

In the afternoon, Li Ming returned to the courtyard with two kilograms of tea. Well, he didn't leave any tea for them as they didn't want to drink it. Comrade Li Ming, considering that it was his favorite jasmine tea, simply took it all home.

When the time comes, just give a little to your father and the rest will be his!

Today is the day when the Li family invites the Wu family to dinner. The last time Li Ming was invited to dinner at home, the Li family was still thinking about it.

And the parents of both families obviously have a tacit understanding and want their two children to be together more closely. It would be best if they could do that.

As for Li Huaide? It's not that Li Ming and Wu Qiangguo didn't invite him. Emmmmmm, Li is in trouble. He's on a business trip to the Northeast.

It will take at least half a month for him to come back, so Li Huaide will have nothing to do this time.

After Li Ming got home, he divided the tea into four portions, then took out one portion and put it in a tea can. This was just the right amount of tea for entertaining guests in the evening.

After cleaning up the tea leaves, Li Ming went straight into the kitchen. There were many people eating at his house tonight, so there were many dishes that needed to be prepared, and he had to clean them up in advance.

In order to keep a low profile and prevent the aroma of meat from escaping, Li Ming brought the utensils in the kitchen directly into the breeding space and began to clean them up, focusing on cooking in a low-key manner and eating in a high-key manner.

It's not that I don't want to be low-key when eating, it's mainly because there are so many people! I can't be low-key, right?

Li Ming was busy in the space until after five o'clock. One portion of braised fish, one portion of chicken stewed with mushrooms, and one portion of braised pork were all ready.

There was no fragrance wafting out of the yard. Li Ming simply steamed the dishes one by one and put them in the kitchen, then walked out of the kitchen leisurely.

He didn't cook other dishes, mainly because it was time to get off work, so the rest had to be left to the queen mother at home.

The meat dishes are almost ready, and the remaining vegetarian dishes are easy to pack!

Not long after Li Ming arrived at the yard, he saw Comrade Li Weiguo, his daughter, and the three members of the Wu family walking into the front yard, chatting and laughing. Wow, old Li has found a companion to go to and from work together. Every morning when he goes out, he goes to work at the steel rolling mill with the Wu family, and after get off work, he brings his daughter back home to keep him company, just like finding classmates when he was in school!

"Mingzi, how's the meal going?"

Old Li saw his son open his mouth and asked.

Li Ming shrugged his shoulders. "The meat and vegetables are ready, but I haven't had time to cook the rest. It's time for you to get off work, so I have to come out and serve customers, right?"

"You boy!"

When Wu Qiangguo heard this description, he burst out laughing. How could he still say that he was a customer?

Liu Lanfang and Wu Xuanxuan both looked at Li Ming with smiles. The more they looked at him, the more they liked him. They didn't expect that he could cook.

Old Li had long been accustomed to his son's speaking style and didn't care at all.

"It's just right. You can try Mingzi's cooking today. It's really good! I think it's even better than what the chef of the second canteen in our steel mill cooks!"

Father Li was not stingy when it came to praising his son, mainly because he really believed it.

"My brother's cooking is delicious. Sister Xuanxuan, please eat more later."
