The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Nowadays, only young people know how to have fun, but this old comrade is quite addicted!

Chapter 498: He Yuzhu on the Road

New Year's Eve.

This year, the Yan brothers still spent the New Year's Eve with the Li family. Last year, the whole family celebrated the New Year in a lively manner, and everyone felt good. So, it was the same this year.

Early in the morning, after cleaning up their house, the Yan brothers came to the front yard and started working with Li Ming.

"Brother, I see that Shazhu in our courtyard is getting happier and happier these days!" Yan Xing complained casually.

"A few days ago I saw him pushing a new bicycle back. Damn, he even got a sewing machine yesterday. This idiot Zhu really spent a lot of money!" Yan Wang followed closely behind.

"Well, it's after the New Year, and they're getting married on the fourth day. How can they not be anxious? Besides, everyone knows what kind of reputation Sha Zhu has in our area. It's a great honor for his family to be able to marry a wife now. Shouldn't he be happy and make preparations quickly?" Li Ming said with a smile.

"I just don't know if He Yuzhu will have enough time to cook after picking up the bride on the fourth day of the New Year. I'm mainly worried that I'll spend money but not have a good meal. That would be a bit uncomfortable." Yan Xing said very pragmatically.

Li Ming was stunned, he didn't think about it that way. He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai had talked about it in the courtyard some time ago, that they should hold a simple and low-key party, and He Yuzhu would go to pick up the people himself and come back to set up a few tables after the event. He was just having fun at the time.

After all, even if He Yuzhu wanted to hold a big event, he would have to have so many people he knew, right?

Li Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "That's easy. Just give less gifts when the time comes."

The two brothers were stunned. This method proposed by Li Ming was really quite simple and unpretentious!

The three brothers were chatting happily in the front yard. Everyone in the entire courtyard was very happy today. It only comes once a year, so it's right to celebrate the New Year with a lively atmosphere.

No matter how much or how little you earn this year, or whether there is enough food at home, the truth is that you have to have a good year.

Middle Court.

Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu were standing in a place in the yard, each holding a cigarette in their hands, and they were chatting very happily at the moment.

"Zhu Zi, are you almost ready?"

He Yuzhu nodded happily, "Uncle Yi, you still don't trust me? Don't worry, we have prepared everything we need!"

Yi Zhonghai laughed. He really didn't trust He Yuzhu! "That's fine. You're getting married on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. It's a big step forward. Live a good life after marriage and make your life more prosperous!"

He Yuzhu pinched his eyes and sucked with one hand, scratched his head with the other hand, "Don't worry, Uncle Yi, I'll keep it in mind!"

"You helped me a lot in getting married. If you need me in the future, just tell me what to do!"

He Yuzhu patted his chest loudly to make a guarantee.

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile. Isn’t this what he wanted?

Since He Yuzhu was ready, he was relieved. He went to Qian Lili's place again two days ago. The woman had recovered and her face was rosy. In order to confirm Qian Lili's physical condition, he even tested it for He Yuzhu responsibly.

No problem, 99%, a rare thing!

Qian Lili had already prepared the remaining little bit, including fish maw, chicken blood or pigeon blood, and had planned it early on.

On the wedding day, Yi Zhonghai prepared it for her. There were many people around at that time, so she only needed to take this "treasure" from Yi Zhonghai and install it while going to the toilet. It would be brand new then!

It is guaranteed to be difficult for He Yuzhu to distinguish, simple and effective! Qian Lili has been working in this industry for many years, so she has some skills!

Yi Zhonghai was in a very good mood at the moment, very satisfied! When He Yuzhu got married, it would mean that the second pension account that Yi Zhonghai had worked so hard to develop would take another solid and successful step forward!

"Okay, okay, let's have a good meal together tonight. Haha, next year we'll have one more person to eat during the New Year!"

He Yuzhu grinned, he liked what Yi Zhonghai said, maybe by the year after next, there would be one more person or two!

"I'll go to the backyard and call the old lady over in the evening." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"It should be, it should be!"

"When we get married, I'll have to ask you and the old lady to be witnesses for us!" He Yuzhu said with a naive smile.

No one taught him, but he always felt that Yi Zhonghai had helped him a lot and was very nice to him on weekdays. He had no parents, so it was just right for Yi Zhonghai to be a witness.

The wrinkles on Yi Zhonghai's face are like a blooming chrysanthemum. Wow, this idiot has finally come to his senses! Although Aunt Yi is not mentioned, Yi Zhonghai is enough!

"Okay, okay, good job, Zhuzi." A man grinned and laughed, stretched out his hand and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder. For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was extremely harmonious.

If you replace someone who doesn't know the situation with you, he would think these two are father and son!

. . . . . .

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, the courtyard became bustling. Although everyone had a bad impression of a certain Zhuzi, today was his big day after all. The most important thing was that one could have a big meal at noon with a random gift, so everyone was still quite giving him face!

Li Ming climbed up from the bed with difficulty. As a man in his thirties, Li Ming felt that the courtyard was a bit noisy today, which was not conducive to his recovery.

But he still stubbornly got up from the bed, washed up, and started to eat.

The hustle and bustle in the middle courtyard, or the hustle and bustle in the Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu families, had no effect on the Li family in the front yard and the Jia family in the middle courtyard.

Today should be the unhappiest day for the Jia family. Li Ming really feels sad for the Jia family, but it would be more appropriate to finish breakfast first and then study the Jia family's expressions.

"Burp! I'm full! Let's go to the central courtyard to watch the fun. I wonder if Sha Zhuzi has left yet?" After finishing his meal, Li Ming found a toothpick and picked his teeth while smiling.

Mr. and Mrs. Li both shook their heads.

"Shazhu hasn't gone yet. Hey, he, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are the only ones busy. Occasionally there are a few enthusiastic people helping out. I guess they haven't finished yet!" Comrade Lao Li laughed, "Didn't you see that everyone in our courtyard still makes their own breakfast today?"

"Tsk tsk, you have such bad relationships with people, how terrible!" Li Ming commented, shaking his head, and then walked towards the central courtyard with his sister.

After all, if someone gets married in a courtyard house these days, generally speaking, breakfast will be taken care of. Not to mention the big pot dishes, no one will complain if you cook a big pot of porridge, right?

But He Yuzhu had no one to help him. Tsk tsk, it was so difficult! He didn't even have time to make porridge, and he listened to Yi Zhonghai and Qian Lili's advice to keep everything simple.

Bullshit! These two are afraid that if things get out of hand, Qian Lili will be recognized. Damn it!

Chapter 499: With the gift

Steel rolling mill courtyard, middle courtyard.

Li Ming found a place by himself and looked at the busy but not completely busy yard. After all, there were many people like him who were watching the excitement with cigarettes in their mouths, and not everyone was willing to help He Yuzhu.

If you say that Yi Zhonghai is a big boss now, then it might be possible, but the problem is that Yi Zhonghai is no longer a big boss.

The only thing that made Li Ming feel regretful was that Xu Damao was no longer around him. As an ally against He Yuzhu, he was a little uncomfortable without Xu Damao. But he could understand it reluctantly, after all, Xu Damao was worried that he would run into Qian Lili and ruin his current life, which he was very satisfied with.

"Are you also waiting to see He Yuzhu's new wife?" Wu Xuanxuan's voice sounded in Li Ming's ears. Comrade Li Ming consciously moved aside to make room for her.

"Stop joking. Don't you know whether He Yuzhu's wife is new or not?" Li Ming teased.

The little girl blushed and moved her small stool to sit next to Li Ming.

"I'm just curious. With so many neighbors in such a big courtyard, why is there no one willing to help He Yuzhu tidy up?" Li Ming said with a smile and looked at He Yushui who was busy at He's house.

If nothing unexpected happens, this girl will get married in two years, and then she will be completely separated from her silly brother. By then, there will be really no one in the courtyard who will stand on He Yuzhu's side.

Wu Xuanxuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't be so mean, who in Siheyuan doesn't know about Sha Zhu's situation? Helping He Yuzhu is a case of bad intentions! I remember you called him Brother Zhuzi a few times before, but it seems that this idiot is against your family because of Qin Huairu?"

Li Ming nodded speechlessly, "That's what happened. There must be something wrong with this guy's brain."

"But I'm more looking forward to lunch. I haven't had a banquet for a long time. I wonder if Sha Zhu's cooking skills have improved?"

"I haven't eaten in this courtyard either, but I have to wait for Sha Zhu to come back."

Li Ming and Wu Xuanxuan were chatting, and with someone to keep them company, time passed quickly. Soon He Yuzhu came back from outside with his big grin, showing his big yellow teeth and a look full of "I'm happy", bringing his new bride Qian Lili.

The Yan brothers also followed and came to Li Ming's side. Then He Yuzhu and his wife held a ceremony in front of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai who were already seated.

However, Li Ming had no interest in this and simply ignored it.

"Hey, is the one who keeps the accounts still that old man Yan Fugui?" Li Ming glanced along the corridor to the front yard and saw Yan Fugui and their unfortunate child, moving a table towards the middle yard with great difficulty.

Then he placed the round table at the entrance of the corridor, sat down leisurely, and got some ink and a brush to write calligraphy, apparently intending to show off his status as a cultured person.

"That's right, I feel that Yan Fugui's handwriting is not beautiful at all. It can't be compared with yours, Brother Li!" Yan Xing is a very honest kid. With a cigarette in his mouth, he looked in the direction of Yan Fugui with disdain.

This year, the couplets for the neighbors who have a good relationship with the Li family were all written by Li Ming. His small brush calligraphy attracted many people's attention.

Even Comrade Li was amazed. He thought his son was just doing nothing at home, but he didn't expect that the child could write such good handwriting!

However, Yan Fugui was a little unhappy. After all, he took less snacks and candies from a few stores. But his competitor was Li Ming, so he could only swallow his anger.

With Yan Fugui's character, it is impossible for him to rush in and fight him. Even though the last time there was such a big fuss, it was Yan Fugui who dared to do it because of the public opinion. As a result, he almost had his head shaved, so naturally he will be much more honest.

"Hehe, keep a low profile!" Li Ming said happily as he took a cigarette from Yan Wang.

Wu Xuanxuan rolled her eyes. She ignored the people who were enjoying themselves and instead stared at He Yuzhu's second-hand wife for a while.

How can I put it? She is indeed beautiful and has a good figure, much better than Qin Huairu. After all, she has never given birth to a child, so her figure should not be out of shape, right?

Besides, Qian Lili, who does a special job, naturally earns more, knows more, and takes good care of herself. No wonder He Yuzhu smiles so happily.

However, she still can't compare with Wu Xuanxuan!

When the ceremony was over, He Yuzhu was so happy that she was bubbling with joy! He took Qian Lili to his home and settled her down. Then he changed his clothes and started cooking on a stove that had been set up in the corner!

After watching the excitement, the neighbors all rushed to the gift-giving table and started giving money, and then waited for dinner.

"Xiao Mingzi, how much did your family inherit?" Wu Xuanxuan asked curiously.

"50 cents, for the whole family to eat. Hopefully we can make back the money." Li Ming's face pretended to be heavy, as if lunch was a big problem and the pressure of whether or not to make back the money was all on him, which made Wu Xuanxuan laugh again, "Then our family should also make 50 cents."

The brothers Yan Xing and Yan Wang looked at each other and said, "Two cents!"*2.

The two brothers were so happy that they ran to the eight-immortals table in front of Yan Fugui.

"Tsk tsk, these two kids are really honest! Let me tell you, one cent is enough." Li Ming sighed. The Yan brothers are really honest and don't know how to maximize their benefits.

After a while, Xu Damao also came out from the backyard with a serious expression. After seeing Li Ming, he nodded as a gesture. After paying the gift money, he walked to Li Ming's side.

"Brother Damao, how much did you follow?"

Xu Damao held up two fingers and said, "Two cents."

"Not bad. I hope you can make your money back, Brother Damao!" Li Ming said happily.

Xu Damao was teased by Li Ming and felt a little better. The two of them moved closer, "Brother will be by your side in a while, let's find a corner!"

"No problem. Brother Yan, come sit with me. We will try our best to protect you."

"Brothers!"

"I'm really curious now. I wonder what He Yuzhu's expression will be when he finds out that his new wife is not new at all, but a skilled one." Li Ming said jokingly, looking at He Yuzhu who was cooking hard in the corner.

Xu Damao spread his hands and said, "I hope Silly Zhuzi doesn't get angry to death, tsk tsk!"

As long as He Yuzhu is unlucky, the two brothers' channels are quite consistent.

"Brother Damao, we still have to rely on you, come on!" Li Ming cheered.

Xu Damao didn't have any objection. After all, if Qian Lili could leave earlier, his life would be more stable. He didn't like sleeping with a bomb buried next to him!

Chapter 500 Yi Zhonghai & Qian Lili’s plan works!

In the afternoon, Qian Lili took the fish maw from Yi Zhonghai, which was full of pigeon blood.

"Uncle Yi, isn't that a bit too much?" Qian Lili said with a twitching mouth.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head indifferently, "There's nothing I can do. This is how pigeons are sold. I thought it would be better to stuff them all in to save waste. Zhuzi doesn't understand anyway."

Qian Lili rolled her eyes at Yi Zhonghai, thinking it was a mean move on his part, but it didn't matter, she could just wash it off when it was done.

After chatting with Yi Zhonghai for a few words, Qian Lili went to the toilet. She was busy for a while and then came out staggeringly with a frown on her face.

"This is the first time I use this thing. It's so troublesome!" Qian Lili muttered softly. Thinking that she would have to carry this thing with her for several hours, her brows furrowed even more.

Central courtyard, He Yuzhu's home.

Qian Lili has become familiar with her sister-in-law. This girl is naive and surprisingly easy to fool. Now she has begun to be wholeheartedly loyal to Qian Lili, which makes Qian Lili quite satisfied.

At least there is a little traitor in the courtyard. If anything happens in the future, there is someone who can help cover it up.

"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?" He Yushui asked worriedly as she watched Qian Lili come out of the bathroom with a frown on her face.

Qian Lili smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry Yushui. I'm just a little tired today after a busy day."

He Yushui was relieved, and then she looked dissatisfied, "My brother is really something, he doesn't know how to be considerate of others at all!"

He Yuzhu, who was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, had no idea that his own sister had already betrayed him. Now He Yuzhu was still thinking about the evening and the adults' activities in the evening.

When He Yuzhu thought of this, he became dissatisfied and his hands moved faster. He always felt that time came quickly in the evening, but today time passed too slowly!

Not long after, He Yuzhu came out of the house with dinner, "Lili, Yushui, get ready to eat!"
