The strong fisherman in the courtyard

"At least Zhuzi is a sensible child, right? You blame me for not being able to give birth to a child for you."

Yi Zhonghai reached out and held Aunt Yi's hand, "I don't blame you. It's not easy for us to live in peace until now. Besides, Zhuzi is a good boy, right?"

"Yeah."

"It's just that Qin Huairu is really a little immature!" Aunt Yi couldn't help cursing when she thought of the bad thing Qin Huairu did in the morning.

Yi Zhonghai slowly opened his eyes, staring at the direction of the Jia family. "Let's have less contact with the Jia family in the future. The little relationship between Dongxu and me as a master and disciple was completely consumed by the Jia family this morning."

Aunt Yi was satisfied. She had long been complaining about the Jia family. They were all bastards who took money but did nothing! When Jia Dongxu was alive, there was nothing we could do. But now that Jia Dongxu is dead, what right do you two widows of the Jia family have? !

Backyard, Liu Haizhong's house.

If you want to say who is the most leisurely person in Siheyuan now, then Liu Haizhong definitely thinks it is himself!

Although he has no son in the family, he believes that his eldest son Guangqi will come back to take care of him in his old age. There is nothing I can do about it, I just have this confidence!

"Tsk tsk, this idiot Zhu is lucky!" Liu Haizhong drank a little wine while eating scrambled eggs. Now it was time for dinner, and Liu Haizhong naturally would not treat himself badly.

Aunt Liu was also nodding with a smile. Anyway, as long as there was Liu Haizhong in the family, it would be enough. With Liu Haizhong, their family would be able to live well. There was still a long time to live, so just live slowly!

"This Yi Zhonghai treats He Yuzhu as his own son, tsk tsk!"

"Hmph, isn't this old guy just thinking about He Yuzhu to take care of him in his old age? Which family in the courtyard doesn't know this? Only this silly Zhu is still kept in the dark!" Liu Haizhong was disdainful!

"Well, let's not care, let's not care. Head of the family, how much should we give when Sha Zhuzi gets married? Looking at the situation today, I'm afraid Sha Zhu's matter is a foregone conclusion." Aunt Liu asked.

Liu Haizhong closed his eyes and sipped the wine, waving his hand, "Just follow the crowd! What are you talking about, haha!"

"This morning, Qin Huairu from the Central Court went to He Yuzhu's house to cause trouble, but was exposed by that girl named Qian Lili. Do you know about this?" Liu Haizhong laughed. This is a great side dish for drinking!

Aunt Liu also nodded happily, "This Qin Huairu, no, this Jia family, there is not a single good person, it's what she deserves!"

"Well, what you said is right! Now the old lady in the backyard should be happy!"

. . . . . .

"Haha, haha, happy, old lady, I'm very happy!" The deaf old lady squinted her eyes and grinned as she laughed heartily.

He Yuzhu was happily accompanying her. After coming out of Yi Zhonghai's house, he went straight to the backyard. Such a good thing had to be shared with the old lady.

"Oh, my dear grandson has finally made it, and Yi Zhonghai has done a good thing!" said the old lady with satisfaction.

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said, "Well, Uncle Yi is a good man. The money I almost had to buy things for my wedding this time was given to me by Uncle Yi!"

Chapter 492 Yi Zhonghai Delivers Chicken to Door

"Hmph." The deaf old lady snorted and did not comment. Yi Zhonghai is just after He Yuzhu. If Jia Dongxu were alive now, would he be able to give you money and effort?

The old lady looked at He Yuzhu, leaned on her cane and went to the bedside to fumble for a while, then tremblingly took out a small bag and handed it to He Yuzhu, "My dear grandson, this is the money your grandma saved, you can use it to marry a wife!"

He Yuzhu retreated repeatedly, shaking his hands, "No, no, I can't take your money, you should keep your money for yourself!"

He Yuzhu was in a happy mood at the moment. After informing the old lady of the happy event, he saw that she was about to give him the money, so he simply ran out, leaving the old lady alone at home.

"Haha, you silly Zhuzi, you are really a silly Zhuzi, why don't you want the money that is delivered to your door?" The deaf old lady stood there and smiled.

The trembling old lady returned to the bed and put her wallet away. She thought of what He Yuzhu said about Qin Huairu in the morning and her face turned pale. "Humph, this vixen! She is really not a good person. She only wants to cheat my good grandson!"

"Fortunately, fortunately, Yi Zhonghai did his best this time and found a good talker for my grandson. Hey, let's live a good life from now on!"

The deaf old lady laughed again when she thought of He Yuzhu's granddaughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family. She slowly got herself ready and lay down on the bed, ready to go to sleep.

When people get older, they tend to go to bed earlier.

. . . . . .

The next day.

Li Ming took the Yan brothers to practice boxing in the outer courtyard. The two brothers have been very idle recently and pestered Li Ming to teach them. Even if they can't beat people in the future, it can still exercise their bodies, right?

After a round of boxing, the Yan brothers brought a glass of water from the house to Li Ming.

"Huh~~~, when you have nothing to do in the future, practice more. It will be useful."

"Yeah, don't worry, Brother Li. I've been feeling much better lately!"

"Me too!"

"Mingzi! Mingzi!"

Li Ming was planning to chat with the two brothers for a while, but Xu Damao's voice, which sounded like calling a ghost, reached the outer courtyard. Li Ming shook his head and said, "Someone is looking for me. You two brothers can have some fun. I'll go see what's wrong with Xu Damao, the fake guy."

The Yan brothers were happy, and they slowly started to fight each other. They were really fine!

"Here!" Li Ming howled and walked towards the front yard with his long legs.

forecourt.

Xu and Li squatted under the eaves with their hands clasped in their hands, each holding a cigarette with white smoke coming out of it.

"Well, Brother Damao, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?" Li Ming wondered.

Xu Damao took a puff of the cigarette and said, "What else can I do? I just can't find any suitable evidence, so I thought of asking you!"

"Well, then you have nothing to do every day, so why don't you just stay there? When you meet Qian Lili's patron, you can persuade him with reason and benefits, right? Just look for them one by one."

"I don't remember the matter of beating up He Yuzhu! Maybe after He Yuzhu and his wife get married, you can find someone to beat them up. That would be more satisfying!"

"There's no rush now, just take your time looking for it!"

Xu Damao was dejected, he knew it, but he was trying to nip the danger in the bud.

"Okay, I'll go take a rest today. I'll have more time later anyway. Your sister-in-law has been in a bad mood these past two days. Damn it!"

Li Ming smiled and glanced at Xu Damao, "You haven't paid your taxes yet? Hurry up! Don't chase you out in the middle of winter, haha!"

Xu Damao's face turned red, he groaned, and stood up and walked towards the backyard, staggering with his hands in his pockets.

What Li Ming said was right. These past few days he had been thinking only about Qian Lili. The public grain tax had not been paid, and the girl at home was already showing signs of evolving into a tigress.

Li Ming looked at Xu Damao's back with a smile. His modification of the plot was pretty good. At least Xu Damao had found a wife who could control him. In the future, they would definitely work together to deal with He Yuzhu. That was good!

After finishing the cigarette in his mouth, Li Ming was planning to go home and rest for a while, but hey, he saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of the central courtyard fully armed and heading straight to the outside of the quadrangle.

"Tsk tsk, this old thing is annoying just by looking at him!" Li Ming muttered and turned to walk home.

Now he was too lazy to confront Yi Zhonghai. It was the right thing to do to celebrate the New Year! When Xu Damao caught Qian Lili's chicken feet, the courtyard would be a scene of chaos and the roof would be blown off!

. . . . . .

Yi Zhonghai felt hot all over and paid no attention to what was happening in the courtyard. Ever since he told He Yuzhu yesterday that he would go to discuss the wedding date for him today, Yi Zhonghai had not had a good rest the whole night.

It’s not Yi Zhonghai’s fault. He has been hungry and thirsty for years. He finally got the connection and can stay there for a while longer today. How could such an old man like Yi Zhonghai resist?

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai got up early in the morning and went out after breakfast. Aunt Yi and He Yuzhu thought that Yi Zhonghai was working hard for his future, and they were all quite moved.

She had no idea that Yi Zhonghai was planning to buy something. After finishing his business, he went straight to Qian Lili's house, took off his clothes and waded into the water.

For Yi Zhonghai, all of them are very important!

Qian Lili temporarily lives in the courtyard.

Considering Qian Lili's previous work needs, she rented a separate courtyard house. Now it is very convenient for Yi Zhonghai to visit her and deliver gifts such as chicken, duck, fish and meat.

"Boom boom boom!"

Yi Zhonghai stood at the door and knocked on it, but after knocking for a while he stopped and waited for Qian Lili to open the door for him. He couldn't be in a hurry!

Qian Lili naturally heard the knock on the door, but she was a little tired last night, and it took her a long time before she got up lazily to open the door.

Fortunately, she saw the happy event as soon as she opened the door!

"Uncle Yi, why are you here?" Qian Lili hurriedly invited Yi Zhonghai in. After closing the door, she stretched out her arm to hold Yi Zhonghai's left arm, and the two walked towards the main house.

Yi Zhonghai was enjoying the softness and suddenly felt that last night's suffering was not in vain!

"Well, after you left yesterday, Zhuzi came to my place and told me all your requests, and begged me to come over as soon as possible to discuss the wedding date with you." Yi Zhonghai said with a look of enjoyment.

Qian Lili laughed sweetly, "That's really good news. I was wondering why there were magpies calling on the branches so early in the morning!"

Yi Zhonghai put the gifts of duck, fish, meat, etc. on the ground and glanced at Qian Lili. "I didn't hear the magpie calling, but I remember that we agreed on something before, but you didn't do it well, Lili!"

Qian Lili immediately understood what Yi Zhonghai meant. He simply disliked the fact that she asked for too much in terms of dowry and other things.

Chapter 493 Peeling Garlic

She did know the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu, or she knew what Yi Zhonghai was planning, which was nothing more than to let He Yuzhu take care of him in his old age and then find a woman who was easy to control to marry He Yuzhu. In this way, Yi Zhonghai's retirement plan could be worry-free.

As for the things she wanted, it was nothing more than Yi Zhonghai investing a little more.

Anyway, they both have their own weaknesses, so they can get along with each other.

Qian Lili got closer to Yi Zhonghai, half of her body was hanging on him, "Uncle Yi, please be considerate of a little girl like me."

"At worst, I can just serve you well today, Uncle Yi!" Qian Lili's voice was numb, and Yi Zhonghai's slightly old body burst with vitality again after hearing it.

Yi Zhonghai stretched out his rough hands and rubbed the hills, "Lili, what about the future?"

Qian Lili rolled her eyes at Yi Zhonghai. Was he planning to flirt with her together with his godson?

"Then I have to take advantage of Zhuzi's not at home. I can't serve both of you at the same time, right? Zhuzi may not agree!" Qian Lili said with a charming smile.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry after hearing this that he had no place to vent. He had been holding it in all night, so how could he tolerate such provocation today?

He immediately picked up Qian Lili and walked towards the bedroom with ease. He had to vent his anger first, and only after that could he calmly talk to Qian Lili about He Yuzhu and her marriage.

Even though Yi Zhonghai is old, he is a fitter after all, so he has quite some strength in his hands. Isn't it easy for him to pick up Qian Lili?

. . . . . .

"Although I said peeling garlic is easy, but mom, aren't you looking down on me by throwing five braids of garlic to me?" Li Ming said in despair, pointing at the garlic piled on the ground.

Mother Li glanced at Li Ming unhappily, "I'm not asking you to do it alone, Ruirui will help too."

"Mom! I think we can eat less Laba garlic this year." The little girl said with lifeless eyes.

If she really peeled so much garlic, she would have to marinate it all over her body!

"Alright, you two hurry up, I still have to prepare the ingredients for the eight-treasure porridge!" Mother Li was too lazy to pay attention to the two funny people at home, "Look at Xuanxuan, isn't she peeling garlic right now?!"

Li Ming turned his head to look at Wu Xuanxuan and Wu Qiangguo who were peeling garlic, and the amount of garlic they peeled was more than enough to fill two braids, and sighed helplessly.

Is this of the same magnitude?

"Ruirui, go move some stools into the house. It looks like we're going to have to fight this garlic to the death today!"

Li Rui walked into the house numbly. Well, Li's mother disliked the strong smell of garlic, so she asked the two children to go out to work. But she still opened the door for them considerately and instructed Old Li to put an iron stove at the door, which was a manifestation of the mother's love for the two children.

Life is helpless, Li Ming sighed.

Peeling garlic is only the first step in making Laba garlic. If nothing unexpected happens, this year's Laba garlic job will definitely be done by him and his unlucky sister. After all, this job has been thrown on the two of them since the year before last.

Peel the garlic cloves, wipe them clean and avoid getting them wet. Put them in a clean glass bottle and fill it to about two-thirds of the height (do not fill it to the brim). Pour in rice vinegar and add brown sugar according to your taste. Cover the bottle and soak it for twenty days. When the garlic cloves turn emerald green, you can eat them whenever you want.

Li Ming looked at the twenty or so glass jars that his mother had gotten from somewhere, sighed quietly, put a cigarette in his mouth, frowned and began to pick up the garlic on the ground.

It's not impossible not to smoke, but the smell of so much garlic is too strong! It's better to hold a cigarette to get rid of the smell.

Central courtyard, He Yuzhu's home.

As a well-known chef in the courtyard (at least that's what He Yuzhu thinks), He Yuzhu is now busy with the preparations for Laba garlic and Laba porridge. Of course, He Yushui is also helping out.

"Brother, my future sister-in-law came yesterday, and you thought I was in the way, so you chased me out. Is that right?" He Yushui looked at her silly brother with a dangerous look in her eyes.

He Yuzhu was stunned. Damn, I forgot about this. He quickly wiped his hands on his body, then took out 5 yuan from his pocket and handed it to He Yushui, "Yushui, this is my fault. Please forgive me this time."

"Okay!" He Yushui took the money with a smile on her face, and then forgot about the unpleasant things that happened yesterday.

"By the way, what's the situation with my future sister-in-law? When can I meet her?" The little girl was very curious and asked while busying herself with the work in her hands.

He Yuzhu grinned like a sand slope, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law is kind-hearted and of course, she's also good-looking. Don't worry, the sister-in-law I found for you will definitely not embarrass you!"

He Yushui had a look of doubt on her face, but of course she was not doubting her sister-in-law's appearance and figure. She knew exactly what kind of person her own brother Sha Zhu was, especially with Qin Huairu living next door.

In her opinion, this future sister-in-law must be able to crush Qin Huairu in all aspects, which is why her silly brother would be so capable.

Moreover, she also heard from the neighbors that Qin Huai Rulai's family disrupted He Yuzhu's blind date yesterday, and then he was rejected.

If He Yushui had any fondness for Qin Huairu before, I'm sorry, it's gone now, completely gone.

The current He Yushui is not as stupid as in the original plot. At least her silly brother still holds a very high position in her heart.

"Today, your uncle Yi went out early in the morning to discuss the wedding date with Lili on my behalf. Uncle Yi bought the things himself. He has put a lot of effort into this matter for me." He Yuzhu said with a smile.
