The strong fisherman in the courtyard

He Yushui was not very interested in Yi Zhonghai and just nodded slightly to show her agreement.

"Your sister-in-law is also living alone in the old city. After she gets married, there won't be so many complicated things to deal with. It's not bad. There is no elder person to talk to on both sides. This matter can only be handed over to Uncle Yi." He Yuzhu was still chattering, and as the silly brother's good sister, she could only nod in agreement.

Backyard, Xu Damao's house.

After Comrade Xu Damao handed in the public grain on time and promptly paid the overdue public grain money, the living atmosphere in Xu Damao's family suddenly improved. At this moment, the couple are also preparing the Laba porridge to be drunk on Laba Festival tomorrow and the Laba garlic to be eaten during the New Year.

"Li Ming is not married yet, but he knows a lot!" Xu Damao said happily to himself.

Xu Damao had let it go at this moment. Anyway, he was now collecting some evidence about Qian Lili. He would just have to take it easy after He Yuzhu got married and try not to hang around Qian Lili's sight as much as possible.

As for favoring Qian Lili, to be honest, Xu Damao had only been there about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten times. Of course, he had not been there even once since he got married.

Who knows, this woman might not remember it clearly now. Besides, she is busy with work every day, so the possibility that she can't remember Xu Damao is very high.

But preparations still need to be made. At the very least, Comrade Xu Damao cannot pin his hopes on the possibility that Qian Lili will not recognize him.

"Da Mao, what are you mumbling to yourself?" Yu Li asked curiously when she heard Xu Damao mumbling.

Chapter 494 Preparations before Removing the Ring

Yu Li's face turned red and she gave Xu Damao a cold look.

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Oh, nothing, I was just wondering when this silly Zhuzi will get married!"

"I seemed to see Yi Zhonghai rushing out this morning. Later, after taking a look around, I realized that the old man Yi Zhonghai had gone to discuss the wedding date with the woman on behalf of He Yuzhu." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Who knows? But Yi Zhonghai seems to be quite concerned about He Yuzhu's affairs."

Xu Damao sneered, "How can he not care? Now He Yuzhu is Yi Zhonghai's "godson!"".

"Okay, why do we care so much? Let's clean up!"

"Hey hey!" Xu Damao nodded quickly.

But in his heart, he was secretly complaining about Yi Zhonghai. He felt that Yi Zhonghai and Qian Lili also had an affair! Hey, after He Yuzhu and Qian Lili got married, Xu Damao would have to keep an eye on Yi Zhonghai. What if, what if, what if Qian Lili served two people together?

If Xu Damao finds evidence, wouldn't the courtyard be bustling with activity?

Xu Damao has a grudge against Sha Zhu, but he is also unhappy with Yi Zhonghai! When he was the boss, every time he and He Yuzhu had a conflict, this old guy would blatantly take sides. Damn it! Don't think that Xu Damao doesn't bear grudges!

While Xu Damao was imagining in his mind how great it would be when he would get his revenge, he continued to peel the garlic diligently.

. . . . . .

Yi Zhonghai was also feeling very happy at the moment, lying on the bed with a cigarette in his mouth. Qian Lili's fair body was leaning against Yi Zhonghai, with her head resting on Yi Zhonghai's arm.

"Uncle Yi, you are still strong despite your old age!" Qian Lili said with a charming smile.

Yi Zhonghai raised his eyebrows complacently, "Ha, of course, I'm not a fitter for nothing, am I?"

"There's still a lot of time to go, so you can experience it slowly, Lili."

Qian Lili rolled her eyes. She was just being polite. What old thing? What a fool!

If it weren't for the fact that Yi Zhonghai helped her find an honest man to take over, she wouldn't have bothered to entertain such a bean sprout a second time no matter how much money she was offered!

"Okay, Master Yi is here today to discuss the wedding date between me and Zhuzi?"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "I almost forgot, look at what happened, yes, yes, I am here to help Zhuzi today."

Yi Zhonghai put out his cigarette and started to put on his clothes. "It's time for dinner, Lili, why don't you make us a meal and we can talk while we eat."

Qian Lili nodded, came out from the quilt as if no one was around, and put on her clothes one by one in front of Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai's throat was really rolling when he saw this, and it seemed like he could still fight again!

But thinking of the important things he still had to do, Yi Zhonghai quickly lit a cigarette to suppress his anger. What he just said was right. There was still a long time to come. There was no rush.

Qian Lili gave Yi Zhonghai a charming look, smiled when she saw the old man's embarrassing look, and continued to clean up.

Although she still had to cook a meal, she could just cook it for the sake of the things Yi Zhonghai brought. Even if Yi Zhonghai was not there, she still had to eat lunch, right?

"Uncle Yi, please sit down and wait for a moment. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and we'll eat and talk later." Qian Lili turned her head and looked at Yi Zhonghai and smiled while holding her things.

Yi Zhonghai's old face smiled like a flower, and he suddenly felt a lot younger. "Hey, okay, Lili, you can go."

After Qian Lili brought the three cooked dishes, Yi Zhonghai slowly walked into the house from the yard.

"Wow! Lili, your cooking skills are great! It looks delicious!" Yi Zhonghai grinned.

"Uncle Yi, if you like it, Zhuzi and I will do it for you every day from now on!" Qian Lili said with a gentle smile.

She knew what Yi Zhonghai's G-spot was. Even before she married He Yuzhu, she had already launched a fierce attack on Yi Zhonghai. After all, what Yi Zhonghai wanted was someone to take care of him in his old age.

"Okay, okay, hello, Lili. Zhuzi will be blessed in the future!" The smile on Yi Zhonghai's old face has never disappeared since he came here. When he heard what Qian Lili said, the wrinkles on his face were about to bloom.

After a rather sumptuous lunch, the two of them cleaned up the pots and pans like a couple, and then sat on the stools to chat.

"Lili, I think it's better for you and Zhuzi to get married sooner rather than later. It will be more reassuring if you get it done early!" Yi Zhonghai said comfortably while smoking a cigarette.

Qian Lili nodded. She thought so too. It would be most reassuring to get the honest man in her hands as soon as possible. She did not forget that there was a widow in the courtyard who was eyeing He Yuzhu. With Qian Lili's conditions, if her home was stolen by this widow, she would be so angry that she would die!

"I looked at the date, and the fourth day of the Lunar New Year after the Chinese New Year is quite suitable. The Gengyin month and the Renwu day are suitable for praying for blessings and children, fasting and offering sacrifices, accepting marriage proposals, and so on. It can be considered a good day."

"When the time comes, you and Zhuzi will hold your wedding banquet in the courtyard, and then go to the street office the next day or in the afternoon to get the wedding done and get the marriage certificate, and then everything will be fine." Yi Zhonghai muttered his limited knowledge, still chattering on while looking at the calendar.

Qian Lili didn't care at all. It didn't matter whether it was suitable or not, as long as she could find an honest man to take over. It happened that she was going to the xc area to remove the ring in the next two days, so it would be convenient for her at that time. She could also take some time to relax and rest her body.

"Okay, that's all yours, Master Yi."

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile. He just likes obedient people, both men and women. He is not picky!

"Lili, do you need to have your IUD removed?" Yi Zhonghai then remembered that they had talked about this once before and he, Yi Zhonghai, had not forgotten it.

"That's right. What? Uncle Yi, will you accompany me?" Qian Lili looked at Yi Zhonghai teasingly and smiled.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and laughed, "Haha, I can't go with you. You can go to the xc area to remove the ring by yourself this time. Don't do it in the dc area."

Yi Zhonghai took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qian Lili, "As your uncle Yi, I can only give you some money to compensate you."

Qian Lili didn't think it was too much, nor was she too little. The monthly salary of a regular worker in a large state-owned factory was only more than 20 yuan. Yi Zhonghai was quite generous.

But she had to have her IUD removed anyway, and she was risking her life to help Yi Zhonghai, so it was reasonable for him to pay for her nutrition.

"Don't worry, Master Yi. I'm not stupid. It's settled then. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, go back and tell Zhuzi to pick me up on his bicycle. As for the other miscellaneous ceremonies, forget about it."

"Okay, keeping it simple is fine." Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied.

Qian Lili smiled charmingly and glanced at Yi Zhonghai. "Uncle Yi, if I go to remove my IUD tomorrow, you won't be able to come for a long time. Why don't we meet again in the afternoon when we have time?"

Yi Zhonghai was delighted and immediately burst into laughter, "Okay, okay, Lili is still sensible! Then I will accompany Lili for a while in the afternoon!"

Yi Zhonghai was shameless. He hugged Qian Lili, who was about to burst into tears, and strode towards the bedroom.

He came at the right time today!

Chapter 495 He Yuzhu's Gratitude

Yi Zhonghai was enjoying Qian Lili, while Comrade Li Ming was enjoying garlic in the yard.

"Damn it, I'm finally done peeling them!" Li Ming's hands were shaking as he finally peeled the last garlic. Now he felt like he was marinated in the garlic.

He looked up at his sister. The little girl had dull eyes and was leaning back in her chair in a daze, as if her soul had flown away.

Li Ming was delighted and stretched out his hand covered with garlic juice and waved it in front of Li Rui.

"vomit!"

Very good, Li Rui came back to her senses, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Well, I saw you were in a daze, so I wanted to call you!"

The little girl looked unhappy and said, "Finally it's done. I'll leave the rest to you, brother. I really can't do it anymore."

After saying that, she rushed home and wanted to wash her hands thoroughly with soap. There were five braids of garlic and hundreds of them, which was too much!

Li Ming shook his head helplessly. "I can't rely on this child. I have to do it myself!"

Wu Xuanxuan came out of her house and said, "Let me help you, Xiao Mingzi!"

"Hehe, at this critical moment we still have to rely on my sister Xuanxuan. But I have a question, why didn't you come to peel the garlic just now?" Li Ming wondered.

Wu Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at Li Ming and said, "Just tell me if you still want help!"

"Help, help, help!" The situation was stronger than the person, so Li Ming had to bow his head temporarily.

Humph, after he gets the cabbage in his hands, he will also let Wu Xuanxuan experience the feeling of bowing her head!

The two of them worked until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when they finally finished all the work. Of course, in order to express their gratitude, Li's mother sincerely invited the Wu family to have dinner at her home, and the three members of the Wu family were also very happy to do so.

After all, we are all family from now on, right? We should be closer to each other!

. . . . . .

Yi Zhonghai's face was rosy, but he walked in from the outside of the courtyard with weak steps. Anyone could see that Yi Zhonghai was in high spirits!

Of course, no one would think about the matter between men and women. After all, the old man's personality in the courtyard was quite impeccable! Everyone would subconsciously think that Yi Zhonghai went to help He Yuzhu get things done today!

In fact, Yi Zhonghai finished the job at three o'clock, but being cautious by nature, he was not in such a hurry to rush straight from Qian Lili's house to the courtyard. The old man first asked Qian Lili to check him, and then went to the bathhouse to take a long bath!

Yi Zhonghai mentioned the matter of scrubbing the body to Aunt Yi when he went out in the morning. He admitted that Aunt Yi was very careful, but Yi Zhonghai was not a careless person. He had already made preparations in advance and it was done perfectly!

Zhongyuan, Yi Zhonghai's house.

Aunt Yi was busy outside, also making Laba porridge. When she saw Yi Zhonghai coming back with a rosy face, she was delighted, thinking that this must be a good thing!

"My dear!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile and lit another cigarette, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

Aunt Yi simply dropped the work in her hands and followed Yi Zhonghai into the house.

Yi Zhonghai slumped in the chair and let out a long sigh. Damn, he had consumed too much energy with Qian Lili, and he still couldn't get used to it.

"Is the matter done?"

"It's done. It's the fourth day of the first lunar month. We'll keep everything simple. Let Zhuzi ride his bike to the girl's family to pick her up. We'll have the wedding banquet in the courtyard at noon, and then they'll go to get the marriage certificate the next day. Everything is finally arranged." Yi Zhonghai shook his head as he talked about how difficult it was for him, and from time to time he reached out to pinch his shoulders.

"It's a good thing I went to the bathhouse. This damn xc area is really too far away from here. I almost retired from running back and forth today!"

When Aunt Yi heard that the matter was settled, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As for Yi Zhonghai's subsequent request for credit, she pretended not to hear it. Why should an old couple care about these things?

"Zhu Zi said that we should go to their house for dinner tonight."

Yi Zhonghai was dissatisfied. Humph, if it were Lili, she would definitely comfort him and give him a pinch to relax him!

"Okay, then I'll take a break and come over in the evening."

Aunt Yi nodded, smiled, and went out to continue her busy work, leaving Yi Zhonghai in the house smoking and passing the time.

In the evening, at He Yuzhu's house.

Yi Zhonghai brought Aunt Yi to the house for a meal. He Yuzhu had been waiting for a long time with a silly smile on his face. As for his sister, well, she was sent away early after the meal was served. Children should not meddle in adult matters.

As for what her sister-in-law is like, won't she know after they get married? It's better not to cause trouble now!

"Uncle Yi, let's go alone. I've caused you a lot of trouble with this matter!" He Yuzhu poured a full glass for Yi Zhonghai, then clinked glasses with him and said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied and nodded with a smile, "Zhu Zi, you are being so formal. What is the relationship between us?"

"That's right, hehe!" He Yuzhu's mouth was almost stretched to his ears, "By the way, Uncle Yi, what's going on?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and took a sip of the wine in the glass, then pointed at He Yuzhu and said, "You, I thought you could hold it in for a while longer!"

He Yuzhu scratched his head. It was because he washed his hair yesterday, otherwise he would definitely lose his appetite when seeing it while eating!

"Hey, you know my situation. I can't wait any longer!"

"On the fourth day of the first lunar month, you ride your bicycle to pick up the girl in the morning, hold a banquet in the courtyard at noon, and get the marriage certificate the next day. How about that? Is the arrangement made by your uncle Yi okay?" Yi Zhonghai said slowly.

He Yuzhu couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. It's more than just great, it's amazing!

"No more words to say, Uncle Yi, I'd like to thank you here!" He Yuzhu said in a daze, then stood up and drank it all in one gulp.

Yi Zhonghai did not stop him. He waited for He Yuzhu to finish drinking and then handed him a cigarette to calm him down.

"Okay, you just spend this period of time preparing. Get the thirty-six legs, bicycle, and sewing machine ready. I'll get you a sewing machine ticket in the next two days. As for the rest, you better hurry up and prepare!" Yi Zhonghai urged He Yuzhu, fearing that this fool would miss something!

He Yuzhu chuckled, "Don't worry, Uncle Yi, I'll find someone to start packing up tomorrow. I'll go buy a bicycle tomorrow and bring it back first!"

"That's right, prepare well. The girl this time is not bad, don't make any trouble!" Yi Zhonghai nodded at He Yuzhu, "Also, there will be people in the courtyard who will be jealous. Don't pay attention to them. They can't marry a good wife like you, but we can let them envy you. Eh?"

Yi Zhonghai has already started patching up the problem, for the future, for everyone's future happy life!

He Yuzhu had already put himself into his future life, so he naturally nodded happily. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what Yi Zhonghai said. He had married such a good wife, so he should be more generous to those other people who envied him.
