The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Unexpectedly, no one cared about this matter at all. Chao! Then he really had to take Qin Huairu to visit each family one by one.

"Okay, sorry to bother you then."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, before he even turned around, the girl closed the door tightly.

The Li family didn't care about offending the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai in this matter. The relationship between their families was not good to begin with, and at a time like this, it would be even more impossible for them to rush to help.

Yi Zhonghai's expression didn't change much when he was turned away, but Qin Huairu was different. He glared at the Li family fiercely. Although Yi Zhonghai noticed it, he didn't care.

"Let's go, Huairu, let's go door to door in the yard. It won't be much trouble." Yi Zhonghai still controlled his emotions very easily, with a kind face.

Siheyuan’s reputation as a hypocrite is truly well-deserved!

Chapter 430 Qin Huairu gave birth to a son and He Yuzhu was eager

The courtyard was particularly lively today. The noisy sounds from the central courtyard had been heard since early morning. It was also a holiday, and Jia Dongxu's funeral was being held on that day.

There will be a banquet in the courtyard at noon. After the meal, someone will carry Jia Dongxu to be buried.

"Xiao Mingzi, are you going to eat later?" Wu Xuanxuan moved a stool and sat next to Li Ming. The two of them looked at the hustle and bustle in the central courtyard, with people coming and going.

There was also He Yuzhu, who was standing behind the dog, and was sweating profusely as he started to pack up the food for lunch.

"Go, of course we'll go, it's not like we haven't given any gifts!" Li Ming didn't even hesitate for a moment.

Even if they hesitated for a moment, it would be disrespectful to the small amount of money that the Li family had given away!

"Then I'll sit next to you."

"No problem, but it's just a big pot dish, so we don't have to sit at the table to eat. I plan to make a bowl and bring it home. Sister Xuanxuan, would you like to join us?" Li Ming turned his head and looked at Wu Xuanxuan with a smile.

Wu Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at him, turned around, snatched a cucumber from Yan Wang who just passed by, and started eating it while sitting on the stool like a rabbit.

By the time Yan Wang reacted, there was only one cucumber left. He looked again and saw that Wu Xuanxuan had snatched it. Oh, that's okay.

"Brother, would you like one?" Yan Wang said happily while squatting on the other side of Li Ming.

Li Ming took it and started chewing it. "Is it your brother?"

"I have something to do. I am out. I will definitely be back for lunch. We all have to give gifts. We can't miss lunch."

After hearing what an outsider said, Li Ming knew what it meant. He should have gone to Paoju Hutong to take inventory of the goods. As long as he didn't miss lunch, it would be fine.

To be honest, this was the only meal they could have at the Jia family in their lifetime. Moreover, this meal was funded by Yi Zhonghai, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Do you know who carried Jia Dongxu's coffin?"

Yan Wang nodded, "I know. He went to the outer courtyard to look for us brothers, but we were not interested. Yan Jiefang from the front courtyard, He Yuzhu from the middle courtyard, and the remaining two seemed to be invited."

"Anyway, there are only two of us in our yard. As for the others, not only did we two brothers disagree, but several families in the backyard also disagreed."

"Very good, very good." Li Ming said with a smile.

. . . . . .

It was not until the evening that the Jia family and several families who had gone out to help returned home exhausted. They had walked all the way out of the city and had to walk back again after finishing their work.

Especially the two men who carried the coffin, they were so tired when they got home that they became like stupid dogs.

Li Ming was happily watching the excitement in the yard. He had already finished his dinner, so why not watch the excitement? There was nothing he could do if he didn't watch the excitement, right?

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai came to Jia's house again and sat on a stool smoking.

"Sister-in-law Jia, have you thought about the quota given by the steel mill?" Yi Zhonghai asked, "The Dongxu incident is over. If you have decided who will go to the steel mill, you must make a decision as soon as possible."

"I'll help you go to the steel mill to make records so that the matter can be settled."

Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "Let's wait until Huairu gives birth. Then let Huairu go to work and I will stay at home to look after the child."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything more. As long as it could be confirmed, it would be considered as his greatest effort as a master.

As for whether Qin Huairu agrees or not, it doesn’t matter at all. The one who is in charge of the family is still Jia Zhang.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed the matter before, Jia Zhang did not seek Qin Huairu's opinion, and that's how the matter was decided.

Jia Zhang is not at home to take care of the children. She is lazy. If you ask her to work in the steel mill, wouldn't that be the end of her life?

Although it would be most cost-effective for Jia Zhang to go to work in the steel rolling mill first and then give the quota to Qin Huairu later, it was obvious that Jia Zhang did not have this idea. Instead of going to work, she would rather stay at home and look after the children.

Things like going to work still fall on Qin Huairu's head.

. . . . . .

Time passed slowly, and it was the end of another month.

He was about to go out to work early in the morning when he saw He Yuzhu rushing out like a wolf and a pig without even putting on his coat, which really scared Li Ming.

"Fuck, is this idiot Zhu crazy? He's running out with a chicken feather!" Li Ming was shocked.

The brothers Yan Xing and Yan Wang were also full of questions.

"Brother, I heard that the middle courtyard is in a mess. Do you want to go take a look?"

"Come on, come on, there's no rush for us to go to work."

The three of them walked into the middle courtyard and saw that the Jia family was surrounded by people in three layers. Some of them had not had time to go to work, and some of the aunts and grandmas were crowded together.

From a distance, the three brothers could hear Qin Huairu's painful groans in the house.

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be Qin Huairu giving birth to a child!" Yan Xing judged, stroking his chin.

Li Ming glanced at him and said, "You are really good, you can even hear this?"

"Brother, I'm not stupid, okay? You've never eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run. Qin Huairu is so pregnant. I was surprised that she didn't give birth when Jia Dongxu died. I didn't expect that she could hold on until now."

"Okay, the fun is over, let's go to work, carry the food and go!" Li Ming said uninterested.

"But you can see that He Yuzhu is quite anxious! If you don't know, you would think that his wife gave birth to a child!" Yan Wang said seriously.

Li Ming was happy. This kid was very good at speaking and his voice was quite loud. Now all the onlookers could hear it clearly.

"Okay, let's go quickly. Haha, as for Shazhu's anxiety, that's his business. We don't care who he wants to be his father!" Li Ming echoed loudly and walked outside with his two brothers.

The neighbors all grinned when they heard it, but Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy. One of the unhappy people was a deaf old lady.

But these two guys are not stupid. It is not appropriate for them to fight with Li Ming now. What's more, they may not be able to defeat Li Ming in an argument. How frustrating!

Of course, the most important point is that he has a gun and is the section chief of a steel mill.

It is said that a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. What can a fitter like Yi Zhonghai do? He is not even the head of a courtyard house yet. He is not legitimate!

Not long after Li Ming and his companions left, He Yuzhu came in hurriedly from outside with a midwife.

"Make way, make way! Let people go in first!" He Yuzhu shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hey, that's true. If you don't know, you might think it's He Yuzhu's wife giving birth!"

Chapter 431 He Yuzhu is unlucky again

"That's right. It hasn't been long since Jia Dongxu died, and this idiot Zhu is already thinking about it?"

"No wonder this guy doesn't have a good reputation in the factory, hey!"

Yu Li, who was watching the fun in the crowd, felt disgusted by He Yuzhu's look of a bootlicker and a warm-hearted man, so she turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Fortunately, Xu Damao is not at home at the moment. If Xu Damao were at home, He Yuzhu would have been humiliated and stomped on the ground today!

. . . . . .

Steel Rolling Mill, Office of Section 3, Purchasing Department.

After finishing his work for today, Li Ming went straight to the second canteen of the steel rolling mill. He planned to cause trouble for He Yuzhu first.

Although He Yuzhu hasn't bothered him much recently, he has a bad relationship with He Yuzhu. Seeing that he can give He Yuzhu a chance, he will definitely help He Yuzhu.

He has no plans to go to Yi Zhonghai for the time being, as he has to deal with them one by one.

The kitchen of the second canteen of the steel rolling mill.

Ma Hua and Li Ming were standing outside smoking.

"Master, why are you here today?" Ma Hua was very curious.

Li Ming looked up into the kitchen, but didn't see He Yuzhu. "Did Shazhu come today?"

"No, and no one asked for leave for him."

"Then just report it to him directly and it will be considered as absenteeism!"

Ma Hua nodded. He could carry out his master's instructions thoroughly, not to mention that no one in the cafeteria had any good feelings towards He Yuzhu.

"But what did this idiot do when he didn't come?"

"Qin Huairu in our hospital gave birth to a baby, and he went to help." Li Ming said with a calm expression and then turned to look at Ma Hua.

Sure enough, the child had little experience, at least he had never seen this kind of species. The cigarette between his fingers fell on his shoes, and Ma Hua was so scared that he had to kick the cigarette butt away.

"What the hell? Holy shit! Is this so outrageous?"

"That's right, it's outrageous, right? If it's outrageous, report it to him right away!"

Ma Hua grinned and said, "I remember this Qin Huairu seemed to be the wife of Jia Dongxu who died some time ago?"

"You know a lot, kid. Not only Jia Dongxu's wife, but also Qin Huairu will come to work in our steel mill after she gives birth to the baby." Li Ming said with a smile, "Then you will see how much He Yuzhu likes Qin Huairu, tut tut."

Thinking about He Yuzhu's performance in the original plot, which could be called the origin of dog-licking, Li Ming couldn't help licking his teeth. He really didn't know what kind of brain the person who filmed the TV series had to come up with such a ridiculous thing!

Comrade Ma Hua went to find the canteen director with great satisfaction. Apart from anything else, He Yuzhu would definitely not be able to escape being fined this time.

In the nearby fitter workshop, Director Guo and Li Ming were doing similar things.

He came to the steel rolling mill workshop early this morning and wandered around for a long time before he was sure that the bastard Yi Zhonghai did not come to work. He thought of the order Secretary Zheng gave him last time, and his eyes lit up!

Although there is no way to punish Yi Zhonghai, it is still possible to give him some snacks first! This will also allow the leaders to see his efforts.

After Director Guo confirmed it, he turned around and went straight to the Personnel Department. As a workshop director, he personally went to give Yi Zhonghai a notice of absenteeism, which was enough to give him face.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for fishing successfully. 】

[Ding, fishing successfully rewards the number of draws*1, and the reward is Big Black Ten*2. ]

There was nothing he could do. There was no performance that could seriously hurt He Yuzhu, so the system's reward was much worse. Fortunately, there was still a reward for the number of draws, and he was also given two big black tens, which was better than nothing.

"System, open the panel."

"I almost used up the ten consecutive draws that I had made after Jia Dongxu died last time, damn it!" Li Ming cursed as he looked at the 12 draw numbers on his draw panel.

This is something you can't forget! Isn't this just a waste? As for the cloth, he threw it directly to Wang Da and Wang Er, asking them to sell it quickly.

The Liu brothers didn't give it to him, mainly because it would be troublesome if two companies suddenly appeared in the market selling exactly the same products. Li Ming still felt that it was better for both sides not to know each other's existence.

evening.

Li Ming was sitting leisurely in the front yard, killing time. Workers from the steel mill were returning from get off work one after another.

Li Ming didn't have to cook dinner today. They were having fish, and the Queen Mother would come back and clean up. Li Ming looked towards the direction of Chuihua Gate with expectant eyes. He wanted to see He Yuzhu's expression when he came back.

Although he already knew about He Yuzhu's punishment through the system notification, which was nothing more than a fine or something, he preferred to see the expression on He Yuzhu's generous face.

"Hiss, it's okay that He Yuzhu has a sullen face, but why is Yi Zhonghai also drooping his face?" Li Ming wondered when he saw the "godfather and son" passing by the front yard with droopy faces.

"Yi Zhonghai was also punished today, and it was announced on the loudspeaker in the afternoon. You slipped away early again in the afternoon, didn't you?" Wu Xuanxuan came out from nowhere, and suddenly appeared in front of Li Ming with bright eyes and a pretty face.

"You scared me, Sister Xuanxuan! Besides, I'm in the purchasing department and I can leave early if nothing happens. How could I know?"

Li Ming rolled his eyes and swallowed inadvertently.

It was true that this woman scared him, but it was also true that she suddenly appeared in front of him, was so close to him, and had a faint fragrance on her body, and he was really greedy for her body.

However, according to the current legal marriage age stipulated by the country, Li Ming can only bear it for now. His mother is still an official in the street office, and he cannot knowingly commit a crime. Even if you get engaged in advance, it may be fine in other courtyards, but their courtyard? Let's wait a little longer.
