The strong fisherman in the courtyard

. . . . . .

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

Today, the courtyard was bustling before dawn, and the whole yard was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Sha Zhu from the middle courtyard has become the chef for the wedding banquet held for Liu Haizhong's family today. He is currently busy in the backyard tending to the big pot and stove.

Li Ming also brought his sister Li Rui and Wu Xuanxuan, and the three of them were basking in the sun in the outer yard.

That's right, he was just slacking off, being lazy, and basking in the sun! After all, the three courtyards at the back were busy, and even Li Weiguo and Wu Fang went over to help.

I may not be able to help much, but it's okay to get together and smoke a cigarette.

As for Liu Guangqi? The ungrateful wolf in the courtyard of the original play, he has already set out to pick up the new bride. Just now when he passed by the outer courtyard, he glanced at Li Ming.

But Li Ming ignored him. This guy is an ungrateful bastard. He is too lazy to pay attention to him! His father Liu Haizhong almost emptied out half of his family's savings for this bastard's wedding, but this bastard ran away the next day. It would be strange if Li Ming could respect him!

You don't want to be a good man, but you want to be a son-in-law! There's nothing wrong with being a son-in-law, but you can't even ignore your own father, right?

Li Ming also couldn't remember what kind of wealthy family Liu Guangqi married!

Chapter 333 Wedding Banquet

"Mingzi, are you really not going to help?" Wu Xuanxuan asked from the side.

Li Ming waved his hand, "No, Sister Xuanxuan, one more of us won't make much difference, one less of us won't make much difference, we won't go!"

Wu Xuanxuan narrowed her eyes when she saw Li Ming's lazy look. "I guess it's not that you don't want to help, but you just can't stand Liu Guangqi!"

Wu Xuanxuan was not a silly girl. Instead, she had a kind heart and had already noticed that Li Ming was unhappy with Liu Guangqi.

But she was also puzzled. After all, as far as she knew, there was no conflict between the two of them!

Li Ming laughed when he heard what Wu Xuanxuan said, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, "That's right, I just can't stand this bastard!"

"Let alone other things, he got into trouble and let his two younger brothers take the blame for getting beaten. Just for this reason, I look down on him!"

Wu Xuanxuan nodded. She knew something about what Li Ming said. Liu Guangqi was not a very good brother! He was probably spoiled by Liu Haizhong!

She had only heard that when younger siblings got into trouble, the older siblings would help to bear the consequences, but she had never heard of older siblings throwing the problem to their younger siblings when they got into trouble!

It is precisely because of this that few people of the same generation and age as Liu Guangqi in this courtyard are willing to pay attention to him.

This group of people prefer to play with the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu! If it weren't for this marriage, for the sake of his father Liu Haizhong, I guess there wouldn't be many people who would congratulate him!

Apart from anything else, Liu Guangqi went to the wedding on foot this time! It's not that he didn't want to borrow a bicycle, but no one was willing to lend it to him!

The Li family was the only one in the compound that had bicycles, but he had dismantled the two bicycles in his family early on. The reason was very simple: they were broken and difficult to repair!

Besides, the neighbors in the courtyards next door also have money, but when they heard that it was for Liu Guangqi in their courtyard to use for his wedding, none of them wanted to lend it!

Liu Haizhong was very calm, so he didn't get anxious about this kind of thing! After all, this was their own fault, so they couldn't blame others!

There are not many courtyards with good reputations among them, but there are too many with bad reputations!

Jia Dongxu, He Yuzhu, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng, at least these four names are well-known figures in different fields!

The only young people with good reputation in the steel rolling mill courtyard now are the two children of the Li family and the newly moved Wu family!

As for the rest, Xu Damao was barely able to survive, and the rest were the younger sons of each household!

"Then let's just wait and eat." Wu Xuanxuan said with a smile.

Li Rui nodded frantically, "We all paid for it! We must eat!"

"It would be nice if I could avoid sitting at the same dinner table with the Jia family." The little girl said happily.

Wu Xuanxuan blinked, looking confused.

"This old hag from the Jia family, once she sits at the table, she hugs the table without caring whether others have eaten or not!" Li Ming said as he made a gesture of hugging something in his arms.

Wu Xuanxuan covered her mouth and laughed, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Li Ming spread his hands and said, "But this time, Jia Zhang will be more restrained. I saw Liu Haizhong go to Jia's house several times, and he always brought something with him."

"Besides, he is still the eldest master in our courtyard after all. Jia Zhangshi still knows how to sell this little bit of face."

"Then you can just eat at the same table with us."

Wu Xuanxuan nodded pretentiously. She was not really looking forward to lunch, but it was her first time to see someone else getting married. The little girl was very curious and looked outside from time to time.

"Come on, let's go out and take a look. It seems to be getting lively." Li Ming knew what Wu Xuanxuan meant when he saw her expression. He was too lazy to lie down, so he simply took the two girls to the yard to see what was going on.

By the way, this was the first time he saw someone else getting married in this year!

In the front yard, Yan Fugui and his children sat by the gate, acting as accountants. A table was covered with red paper, with account books and brushes on it, and there were also candies and melon seeds on the table.

At this moment, he is smoking happily with a smile on his face! It is not the time to give gifts yet, otherwise he would be busy!

Li Ming and two others walked all the way to the backyard. In a corner, He Yuzhu and a few others were busy preparing the lunch meal. At this moment, the aroma of the food was already wafting through the entire courtyard.

Wu Xuanxuan shrugged her nose and said, "It smells quite good!"

"He Yuzhu's skill is only this much." Li Ming said with a smile. When it comes to cooking, he, Li Ming, is definitely better, but there is no need for that now!

Look at the one who showed up, isn't he working hard? Li Ming didn't plan to use his cooking skills like this! He just showed off his cooking skills when his family was having dinner together!

Li Weiguo and Wu Fang were chatting with Wu Qiangguo and Liu Lanfang in a corner at this moment. There were also the whole Liu family in the backyard. Everyone had a smile on their face. The marriage of Liu Haizhong's son was indeed a happy event in their courtyard!

Especially in this special year when there might not even be enough food to eat, Liu Haizhong still got a lot of meat to satisfy everyone's cravings, which was pretty good!

It was almost noon when Liu Guangqi finally brought his new bride back. The two of them went straight into the house as soon as they came back. They would have to wait for a while before they could show up.

However, the front yard is now lively. Although Yan Fugui is not a good person, he is good at keeping accounts with a brush.

The eldest son, who had a sallow complexion, was also pulled out to join in the shouting, and from time to time he would utter a few words about how much a certain family had contributed!

They were busy until noon when the banquet started. Only then did the neighbors in the courtyard sit down and start to eat. It must be said that Liu Haizhong really spent a lot of money this time!

There were two plates of meat and vegetables on the table, and as for the tables, there were eight tables in the backyard! All the neighbors in the yard could sit with their children, and the whole backyard was extremely lively for a while.

Only after Liu Guangqi and his wife had toasted at every table and door, the feast officially began!

"Eat, eat, eat quickly!" Li Ming said as he put food into the two girls' bowls. They had to hurry up, as they were unlucky as they had to eat at the same table with Jia Zhang, the gourmet.

If you don't act quickly, the gift money you gave me this afternoon will be wasted!

When Wu Xuanxuan and Li Rui saw Jia Zhang, their faces tensed, especially Wu Xuanxuan, who didn't even bother to blush. She lowered her head and started eating the dishes that Li Ming had picked for them with Li Rui.

Chapter 334 "Alarm Clock"

As for Li Ming? He was also picking up food for himself. Jia Zhang, who was sitting opposite him, would occasionally cast vicious eyes at Li Ming, and Comrade Li Ming would respond with a shy smile.

But, the movements of his hands were not slow at all!

Even after all the dishes on the table were eaten, Jia Zhangshi didn't have time to put the vegetables into the bag in her arms!

Wherever Jia Zhang's chopsticks went, Li Ming would follow them! How could Jia Zhang, an old and pious woman, be a match for Li Ming?

So even after finishing lunch, Jia Zhang was not full. Instead, she was very angry. Before leaving the table, she glared at Li Ming fiercely.

Wu Xuanxuan and Li Rui were laughing so hard while watching this.

"Have you eaten? You two?" Li Ming didn't care about Jia Zhangshi at all. She was just an old haggard woman. Could she cause such a big fuss?

"I'm full. You gave us too much food. We can't eat anymore." Wu Xuanxuan said with a red face.

His sister Li Rui didn't care at all. Instead, she nodded happily.

"Brother, are you full?"

"Don't worry, your brother, how could I not be full? Jia Zhangshi definitely wasn't full!"

"That's because I'm so angry with you!" Wu Xuanxuan rolled her eyes and smiled.

After finishing the work in the backyard, the neighbors dispersed one after another. There was nothing else to do at the moment anyway. Today was also a day off. After a full stomach, it was time to go home and sleep!

. . . . . .

evening.

The Li family had finished their dinner and were now sitting at the dining table chatting.

"I feel unhappy seeing this kid Liu Guangqi today. Hey, it's strange!" Comrade Lao Li stroked his chin and told what he saw today.

"Logically speaking, he's getting married, how can he not be happy? Could it be that I saw it wrong?"

Wu Fang thought about the Liu Guangqi she saw during the day and said, "Now that you mention it, it really is the case!"

"I didn't see much smile on his face today, and I thought he was tired from getting married today, but his wife didn't smile either, which shouldn't be the case."

Li Ming was laughing as he listened at the side. You see, almost everyone in the courtyard who was not stupid or stupid could tell that the couple getting married in Liu Haizhong's family today looked strange. I guess Liu Haizhong's family hasn't noticed it yet!

Father Li slapped his thigh and said, "Why should we care so much? This is not our family's business! Besides, I heard that Liu Guangqi found his daughter-in-law himself!"

"I heard that the wife he found comes from a well-off family. I heard that she's a section chief or something."

The street office is well-informed and can find out a lot about this.

Father Li curled his lips and said, "He is the section chief, but the neighbors in the yard still don't know where he is from! I guess he didn't intend to show himself, for fear that neighbors like us would come up to him!"

To be honest, Li Weiguo really didn't have any feelings for a section chief. He had met the deputy director of their steel rolling mill and they could chat happily together. He really didn't have much of a crush on a section chief!

Wu Fang rolled her eyes at her man, a typical greedy person! She wasn't greedy for Liu Guangqi's in-laws, but for the position of section chief!

You are waiting for a section chief to appear in their family. Look at Old Li, he is so excited that he can’t sleep!

The Li family talked for a while and then dispersed to rest. Although today was a rest day, someone in the hospital was getting married and they were exhausted after a busy day. They had to go to work tomorrow and would not be able to bear it if they didn't rest early!

. . . . . .

The next day.

As soon as the morning sun came out with a red edge, the tranquility of this courtyard was broken!

A heart-wrenching roar came from the backyard, "Beast! Bastard!"

When the word "bastard" was shouted, everyone in the backyard of the courtyard was awakened from their sleep. The noise spread from house to house, and soon the whole courtyard became lively.

backyard.

Xu Damao rubbed the mucus in the corner of his eye and climbed out of bed, "Damn it, who is crying like a ghost? Can't I sleep anymore!"

Xu Fugui got up early. He got up as soon as he heard the first roar from Liu Haizhong. Now he was lying behind the window looking out.

"Da Mao, don't fall asleep, come and watch the fun!"

Xu Damao was startled at this, and jumped out of bed without even having time to put on his clothes, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Xu Fugui pointed to the courtyard, where Liu Haizhong was holding a piece of letter paper with trembling hands. The fat on his fat face was twisted and tangled together, and there was an abnormal blush on his face. From a distance, he looked extremely ferocious!

As for Aunt Liu, she had now collapsed on the doorstep, holding onto the door and began to sob. The two younger sons left in the house saw that the situation was not good, and they huddled in a corner of the house like quails.

"What's going on?" Xu Damao was surprised when he saw this early in the morning. "Wasn't it fine yesterday?"

Xu Fugui smacked his lips, took out a cigarette from the cupboard next to him and put it in his mouth, "I didn't see Liu Guangqi and his wife. Look at Liu Haizhong's appearance and the letter in his hand."

Xu Fugui hesitated for a while and said, "I guess this person ran away!"

"But we obviously can't ask now, right? What if that fat guy in the fringe uses him to relieve his anger again? It's not worth it!"

Xu Damao murmured, "Run away? What the hell is this, marrying a wife and then running away?"

"Logically speaking, shouldn't getting married be a happy thing? How could he run away? Is Liu Guangqi a fool?"

"Hey, idiot? You might be an ungrateful person!"

The deaf old lady didn't sleep much, so she got up early and prepared to wash up. The enamel pot she just picked up was frightened by Liu Haizhong's shout and she dropped it to the ground!

According to the deaf old lady's usual character, she would have gone out to curse people by now. However, as soon as the old woman walked out of the door, she saw Liu Haizhong squatting on the ground with a ferocious face, and she was scared back!

"Hey, this old Liu's son is still an ungrateful person!"

The deaf old lady made a joke, picked up the enamel pot that had fallen on the ground with trembling hands, and continued to wash slowly.

This has nothing to do with her. She can just go out and watch the fun when there are more people in the backyard! She doesn't plan to go out and get into trouble with the bangs at the moment!

Chapter 335 The Birth of the Siheyuan White-Eyed Wolf

Steel rolling mill courtyard, middle courtyard.

He Yuzhu is also the king of lazy sleep in this courtyard. At this moment, He Yuzhu was still immersed in his dream, but he was awakened by the shouting from the backyard!
