The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Apart from anything else, she is definitely prettier than Qin Huairu and Xu Damao's wife Yu Li, and that's enough! It already makes He Yuzhu feel superior!

Yi Zhonghai and his wife stayed at He Yuzhu's house until after eight o'clock in the evening before returning. The two told He Yuzhu many things that he needed to pay attention to during marriage and the preparations that he needed to make. He Yuzhu almost took out a small notebook to write them down.

The next day.

He Yuzhu woke up early. There were not many days left until the Chinese New Year. He had to take advantage of this time to prepare everything he needed, and then wait to get married after the Chinese New Year! Leave incense for his old He family!

He Yuzhu found a tin box from under his bed and opened it calmly. There were two boxes inside, one large and one small.

The smaller one was for He Yushui to use when he got married. It was the dowry that He Yuzhu had saved for him, although it wasn't much. As for the larger one, it was naturally prepared by He Yuzhu for himself. There was a lot of money saved in it, enough to support this marriage.

In fact, he had enough money to buy a bicycle, but He Yuzhu was not stupid. Why would he use his own bicycle when he could use someone else's? Right?

Sha Zhu happily took out some of the money, counted it carefully, put it together with the money Yi Zhonghai gave him, and put it in his inner pocket. He also took out a bicycle ticket from the bottom of the box, which was also the only one, and put it in his pocket with great care. Then he closed the box again, put it back to its original place under the bed, and went out.

Chapter 496: Ten consecutive draws before the New Year

The steel rolling mill courtyard, front yard.

Xu Damao was following Li Ming, and the two were basking in the sun in the front yard. Xu Damao seemed to have let it go now. He just needed to take it slow. What couldn't be avoided would happen sooner or later, so it was better to enjoy himself for one day at a time.

What did Li Ming say to him just now? "You don't need to hide from small disasters, but you can't avoid big disasters!"

The two men, each holding a cigarette in their mouths, were leisurely basking in the sun in the front yard, watching He Yuzhu hurriedly walk out of the courtyard with a lewd smile on his face.

"Hiss, was that Shazhu just now?" Li Ming reacted.

Xu Damao nodded, "Why is this silly Zhuzi laughing, laughing, um..."

"So obscene?"

"That's right, I see this idiot is so happy, isn't he going out to buy something?" Xu Damao suddenly had an idea, "Yesterday, that old man Yi Zhonghai went out to discuss the wedding date with He Yuzhu. If they have agreed, then don't we have to start preparing?"

Li Ming was very surprised, surprised at Xu Damao's brain. He didn't know why, but whenever He Yuzhu was involved, it seemed to be extremely useful, just like lubricating a rusty bearing.

"That should be the case. Judging from the looks of it, Shazhu's wedding day is not far away!" Li Ming said happily.

He now can't wait to see He Yuzhu get married, especially to see He Yuzhu get married and then get divorced. Tsk tsk, by then someone in the courtyard will definitely be unlucky, very unlucky!

Xu Damao stood up immediately and said, "No, I'll go ask around first. You wait for your brother Damao to come back with good news!"

Xu Damao said this and walked towards the central courtyard. Li Ming shrugged his shoulders. He was very curious about He Yuzhu's wedding time, so it was a good idea for Xu Damao to ask about it, saving Li Ming the trouble of moving on his own.

After a while, Xu Damao rushed out from the central courtyard with an excited look on his face.

"I found out, hey!" Xu Damao said excitedly.

Li Ming handed a cigarette to the hero, his eyes gleaming with gossip, "Be careful!"

"After the Chinese New Year, we'll get married on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year!"

Li Ming was stunned. Perhaps his knowledge was not sufficient, but he had rarely heard of people getting married on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

"On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year? Can we get married?"

Xu Damao said calmly, "Yes, but not much. I found out that Yi Zhonghai said so, and then Qian Lili agreed. Tsk tsk, they got married in such a hurry, but no one noticed the trick?"

"Maybe someone has noticed it, but you should also know how unpopular Shazhu is in our courtyard, brother Damao, so it's true that no one told him." Li Ming laughed, "As for He Yuzhu's sister, Shashui is even less likely to know. If she knew, she would definitely tell you, but whether Shazhu, a fool, believes it or not is another matter!"

"I guess, now this silly Zhu regards Yi Zhonghai as his real father in his heart!" Li Ming teased.

"Tsk, what you said does make sense. Never mind. Let's go have a meal first. When I have evidence to nail that bitch to death, I'll let He Yuzhu enjoy the "bliss" of the world!"

Xu Damao smiled sinisterly. When it came to dealing with He Yuzhu, he, Xu Damao, always put in as much effort as he could and was never stingy.

Ever since the news of He Yuzhu's marriage spread, the Siheyuan was suddenly filled with an atmosphere of double joy. It was Chinese New Year in the first place, and every household was very happy. With He Yuzhu getting married soon, the Siheyuan suddenly became even more lively.

Of course, except for the Jia family.

On this day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered that there was a woman who had her IUD removed because of him. Although he had paid her nutrition fees, he still had to go and see her. After all, they were long-term strategic partners in the future, right?

"My dear, I'm going out for a walk today to see if there's anything suitable to buy. Don't wait for me for lunch." Yi Zhonghai said this to Aunt Yi early in the morning, which was considered a patchwork.

When he comes back, he will definitely buy some things, so be careful!

"Okay, just go. You've been busy with the New Year and Zhuzi's wedding these days, and you're really exhausted." Aunt Yi smiled without any doubt.

Yi Zhonghai put on his cotton-padded jacket with a smile on his face, put a box of cigarettes in his pocket, and walked out of the door with his hands behind his back.

In the front yard, on a deck chair.

The weather is so good today, so Li Ming must be in the yard to add some sunshine. He watched Yi Zhonghai stroll out of the courtyard.

Although he was curious about what the old man was doing, he had more important things to do today and was too lazy to pay attention to him for the time being.

Li Ming did not gain nothing during this period. After two confrontations with Yan Jiefang and Qin Huairu, he also got two small chances to draw a lottery, making a total of 10 times. The weather is good today, so Comrade Li Ming plans to draw a small wave!

"Smoke, finish it!" Li Ming waved his hand, stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, and then stared at the void in front of him.

Li Ming's eyes twitched. "Damn it, it must be because he saw Yi Zhonghai's incident so early in the morning. It's bad luck!"

Chapter 497 Yi Zhonghai's Concern

Li Ming finished the cigarette in his mouth, calmed himself down, and then continued speaking.

"Open the panel."

"Tsk, at least it's a little more convenient to write Spring Festival couplets this year."

"Open the hatred value list." Li Ming continued to mutter. Ever since he had a small quarrel with Yan Jiefang and Qin Huairu twice last time, he hadn't opened the hatred value list to take a look. It was a good opportunity to take a look at it today.

【Hate Value】

【Hate Value】

Yi Zhonghai (35)

Auntie (15)

He Yuzhu (52)

He Yushui (18)

Jia Zhang (33)

Qin Huairu (17)

Yan Fugui (60)

Yan Jiefang (42)

Deaf old lady (30)

Automatically ignore Yan Jiefang, since he only shows up at level 40 anyway. Li Ming is more interested in Qin Huairu's hatred value.

"Last time I poked Qin Huairu's lung, but this woman wasn't angry? Hey, could it be that she suffered a Waterloo at the hands of He Yuzhu recently and hasn't reacted yet?" Li Ming looked at Qin Huairu's hatred value of 17 points and wondered.

If he remembered correctly, Qin Huairu's hatred value had always been around 15. He didn't expect that this woman was such an open-minded person?

"Today's lottery is really boring. Forget it, let's wait until the New Year." Li Ming complained, closed the system interface, and continued to bask in the sun with his eyes squinted on the recliner.

. . . . . .

Qian Lili's home.

Qian Lili, with a pale face, opened the door and welcomed Yi Zhonghai in after hearing the knock on the door. She also poured a cup of hot water for Yi Zhonghai, and then sat on the chair and stared at him intently.

"Uncle Yi is here. I thought you wouldn't come before the New Year." Qian Lili looked at Yi Zhonghai and smiled softly.

Qian Lili was originally good-looking and was deeply loved by Yi Zhonghai. Now that she had her IUD removed, she was naturally weaker, which made Yi Zhonghai feel distressed.

"Well, how can I not come! Look at your body, I have to come and see you, right?" Yi Zhonghai's face was full of distress and concern.

"You can take a rest at noon today. I will cook something for you. On the way here today, I happened to see an old hen for sale. I took the remaining half and stewed it for you at noon."

Qian Lili nodded tenderly. This future long-term strategic partner is pretty good and thoughtful.

No matter whether he has other intentions or not, at least now he knows to come and have a look. It will definitely be more convenient to cooperate in a courtyard in the future.

Yi Zhonghai squatted on the ground and started to pick up the things he brought. After packing up, he took the ingredients to the kitchen and started working. Qian Lili did not go back to the bedroom to lie down and rest. Instead, she leaned against the kitchen door frame and watched Yi Zhonghai packing lunch with a smile.

No wonder some people like older people. Not only do they have pensions, but they are also caring!

"Uncle Yi, do you think I can give up the lease of this courtyard after I get married?" Qian Lili asked with a smile, her voice soft and numb.

Yi Zhonghai paused for a few seconds while chopping meat. "Don't refund. It doesn't cost much a month. I'll pay for it. You can still come here to get together when you're done, right?"

Yi Zhonghai talks a lot about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but no one knows what he really has in his mind. At least Qian Lili feels that this old guy doesn't have much good in his mind.

If I can trap He Yuzhu in the future, I will try Yi Zhonghai if that doesn't work! I heard that this old man is a dead end, and I don't know if it's his problem or his wife's.

If we can catch one more, it would be a pleasant surprise.

"Okay, I'll listen to you then."

Yi Zhonghai smiled as he lowered his head to cook. He turned to look at Qian Lili and said, "Lili, go and have a rest first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"You just had the surgery not long ago, you still need to rest."

Qian Lili nodded silently, then turned and went to the bedroom; Yi Zhonghai was quite fascinated by Qian Lili's back.

This second spring in old age is quite refreshing!

After lunch, Qian Lili drank the loving old hen soup stewed by Yi Zhonghai, and a hint of redness appeared on her face. Yi Zhonghai then breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't get me wrong, the New Year is almost here. If Qian Lili marries He Yuzhu with a pale face, then if the people in the Siheyuan find out something, all her efforts will be in vain. Otherwise, why would Yi Zhonghai come here today?

I can't feed the chickens, and I have to spend money and food! Isn't it just to see Qian Lili's recovery?

"Lili, what did the doctor say?" Yi Zhonghai's face was full of concern.

Qian Lili glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said, "It's okay. I will be able to recover before I marry Zhuzi. I felt very uncomfortable in the first two days after the operation. I feel much better today. I also drank the chicken soup that you cooked for me, Uncle Yi. Don't worry."

Only then did old comrade Yi Zhonghai feel relieved. After all, it concerns his future retirement, so he has to pay attention to it!

"That's good, that's good. I also brought you some meat. You can prepare a meal by yourself. Make sure to replenish your nutrition."

"Okay, Uncle Yi, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the matter. I'll thank you properly when I get better!" Qian Lili said to Yi Zhonghai with a smile, as if she had made some kind of promise.

"Okay, okay, Lili, you are a good girl. You and Zhuzi are a perfect match made in heaven." Yi Zhonghai's old face was about to turn into a chrysanthemum with smile. He was very interested in Qian Lili's gratitude.
