The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Mother Li rolled her eyes at the three of them and said, "What a waste of time you all have! But it's not that we can't tell you. Sooner or later, everyone in this area will know about it."

"Did you know that Liu Guangqi's father-in-law is an official in the west?"

The three of them nodded in unison, and later it was reported that if it wasn't for some official position or something, would Liu Guangqi have run off in such a hurry to curry favor with his father-in-law?

"I heard that he retired because he had offended many people. But he didn't just retire. I heard that he was robbed by bandits when he went out. There has been no news since then." Mother Li whispered, "Then it was Liu Guangqi's turn to be unlucky. He couldn't make it in the west anymore, so he had to run back to our city with his family!"

Obviously, as a clerk of the street office, Ms. Wu Fang must know more things. After all, if she didn't know the details, how could she handle the procedures for Liu Guangqi's family?

This time, not only Li Ming was surprised, but everyone else was also shocked. They never expected that such a fight would happen right next to them!

"Wow, this is really a great guy!" Father Li exclaimed. Today he was really enlightened! How could a commoner like him know such an amazing thing?

The little girl looked inexperienced but deeply shocked, she stood there in a daze, which made her look extremely adorable.

"Our courtyard will be more lively in the future. Hehe, by the way, Mom, is Liu Guangqi's household registration still in the old city?" Li Ming wondered.

Mother Li nodded. "That's right. We didn't do anything when Liu Guangqi left. It seems that he has found a way out for himself."

"Very good, very good."

"The Liu family must be more lively now!"

Backyard, Liu Haizhong's house.

Many curious people who had nothing to do after dinner gathered in the backyard, hoping to get some gossip to pass the time, but He Yuzhu had an idea. Damn it, now every household has learned to close the door, and everyone can only watch in the yard.

Liu Haizhong looked at his eldest son and daughter-in-law in front of him with a gloomy face. Oh, there is also a grandson.

Aunt Liu clenched her hands tightly, her mood was not calm. Her face showed the joy of bringing her child home, but of course there was a hint of fear. After all, what Liu Guangtian did was wrong, which made Liu Haizhong angry. Now there was no one to vent her anger at home, and she was afraid that Liu Haizhong would beat her son.

"Dad, I was wrong. I am an unfilial son!" Liu Guangqi also understood. Seeing Liu Haizhong's face turned pale, he immediately knelt down with a plop.

The wife who was following nearby saw her husband like this, so she gritted her teeth and planned to kneel down, but was stopped by Aunt Liu.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go to the side room and talk. Let the father and son talk here." Aunt Liu glanced at Liu Haizhong cautiously, and when she saw that Liu Haizhong did not refuse, she simply took her daughter-in-law and grandson to the side room, leaving the father and son some space to be alone.

Liu Haizhong took a deep puff of his cigarette. He did believe that Liu Guangtian would come back, but it was very different from what he had imagined.

He thought that Liu Guangtian had returned in glory to take care of him in his old age, but he came back in a dishevel and miserable state. Not only did he become a laughing stock in the courtyard, but he also made Liu Haizhong worry again.

"Tell me, what happened?" Liu Haizhong asked in a hoarse voice. After all, he was his favorite eldest son. There was nothing he could do. It had come to this. What else could he do?

Liu Guangqi was delighted and was about to stand up, but just as he raised one leg, Liu Haizhong howled, "Finish your words on your knees!"

Liu Guangqi was stunned and knelt down again in disgrace.

After a long while, Liu Guangqi finished speaking and sighed softly. To be honest, it was not Liu Guangqi's fault. It was just bad luck that he was implicated by his dead father-in-law.

But there was one thing that made Liu Haizhong extremely angry, and he would definitely not be able to keep his anger down today.

"You mean my grandson will take the girl's surname?" Liu Haizhong's voice was hoarse, like rubbing a nail against glass.

Liu Guangqi shuddered and nodded.

Liu Haizhong stood up and picked up his favorite rolling pin a few years ago, weighed it, put it down, pulled the belt out from his waistband, and hit Liu Guangqi viciously.

"Pia!"

Oh~~~ the familiar feeling is back! The neighbors who were listening to the excitement outside felt inexplicably refreshed. Although I don’t know why, I really miss it.

Aunt Liu and Pan Cuilian in the side room were stunned. They looked at each other with slightly red eyes. Pan Cuilian wanted to get up and take a look, but was stopped by Aunt Liu.

"Cui Lian, don't go. Let Old Liu vent his anger." Aunt Liu said with an unpleasant look.

Pan Cuilian was stunned for a moment, then was stunned for a moment before being pulled to sit down by Aunt Liu.

Fortunately, it was just one sound. If it had happened more often, Aunt Liu probably wouldn't have been able to sit still.

. . . . . .

"Go change the child's surname tomorrow. If you can't, don't come home!" Liu Haizhong roared.

Liu Guangqi nodded silently and knelt on the spot.

Liu Haizhong deliberately spoke louder so that his daughter-in-law could hear it as well. Although the neighbors outside would also hear it, his grandson must not take an outsider's surname!

backyard.

The neighbors who were watching the fun were cheered up! Good man, it’s no big deal if you didn’t hear anything else. At least you heard something wrong, which is better than nothing!

"My goodness, Liu Guangqi's child is really no good. The child he gave birth to actually looks like the mother. Isn't this like marrying into the family!"

"Hey, marrying into the family? Now there has to be a door for him to marry into! He came back in disgrace!"

"I really don't know what's wrong with this kid's brain. Tsk tsk, he's really stupid, very stupid!"

"Just stop calling him Liu Guangqi and just call him Shaqi from now on. He can still keep Shazhu company!"

"Haha, if Old Liu heard you say that, he would definitely be unhappy!"

"It's okay if we're not happy about it, but our family doesn't want to get involved with the Liu family!"

Li Ming and Comrade Lao Li were naturally among the crowd watching the fun. When they heard Liu Haizhong shouting at home, they laughed, looked at each other and then returned to the front yard.

Li Ming did not go home, but went directly to the outer courtyard. It was not that the Yan brothers were not interested in this kind of thing, but they were not in the courtyard. It was just right for him to go over and see if the two had returned. If they had, he could tell them and let them go to Paoju Hutong tomorrow to tell the brothers Guangtian and Guangfu.

Outer courtyard, Yan family.

"You just came back?" Li Ming smiled as he looked at the two brothers in front of him who were covered in dust.

Yan Xing wiped his face with water and nodded, "I was just finishing an inventory today, hehe!"

“Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff.

Li Ming looked at Yan Wang who was washing his face in a strange way, "Your brother is quite good at washing his face!"

Yan Xing smiled and said, "I've been like this since I was little. Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Wang wiped his face and leaned forward with a curious look on his face.

"Liu Guangqi from our courtyard has returned with his family. I thought I would ask you to go to Paoju Hutong tomorrow and tell the brothers Guangtian and Guangfu that their family has been in trouble for a long time."

"We still need to inform those who need to be informed, so that we won't be unprepared when we meet in the future."

"No problem. We two brothers go there almost every day anyway. This is no big deal. But what's the matter with Liu Guangqi in the backyard?" Yan Xing handed Li Ming a cigarette, and Yan Wang took out a match to light it for Li Ming.

Well, this is an essential skill for gossip-finding that they learned from the old hands in the third section of the steel mill.

Li Ming smoked happily and asked the two brothers to sit down. He told them in detail the grievances and hatreds of Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard, and the story of how the ungrateful Liu Guangqi went to the west, suffered a disastrous defeat, and was dragged back to the courtyard in disgrace.

"Tsk, this thing can be used to write a vernacular novel!" Yan Xing did not even take a puff of the lit cigarette in his hand, and listened to the short story attentively.

"There are so many talented people in our Siheyuan! They are much more amazing than what my brother and I have seen in the past few years when we were struggling in the old city!" Yan Wang smacked his lips and expressed his gratitude.

"Do you understand? Our courtyard house is the only one in the city!" Li Ming said with a smile.

These beasts are all Li Ming's treasures, and he loves them so much!

"Don't worry, brother. We will go and tell the Guangtian and Guangfu brothers the news tomorrow!"

"That's right, if they need help..." Yan Wang looked at Li Ming.

Li understood after taking a look at Yan Wang. "I know you have a good relationship. Those two guys have a good relationship with me too. It's not a big deal if you need to vent your anger. Come to me. I will give you a foolproof plan!"

"Got it!"

"Okay, you two brothers are tired after a whole day, pack up and take a rest. I'll go back and take a rest too." Li Ming threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and staggered towards his home.

Front yard, Yan's house.

"Old Yan, why do you think Liu Guangqi came back with his family?" Aunt Yan was very kind!

Yan Fugui shook his head. He was also one of the people watching the fun in the backyard, but he didn't hear the reason. He just heard that Liu Guangqi was asked to change the child's name tomorrow.

"I didn't hear that clearly, but it's true that they are going to change the child's name tomorrow! Now Old Liu's retirement home is back!"

"I don't know what's wrong with this stupid boy Liu Guangqi's brain. He even let the child take the mother's surname!"

"Haha, since he's marrying into the wife's family, the girl's family is rich and powerful, so naturally Liu Guangqi can't wait to lick their boots!" Yan Fugui lit up an economical cigarette and took a sip.

Anyway, Yan Fugui looked down on Liu Guangqi! Of course, if you change this to his family's Jiefang, well, that's not impossible!

Although everyone dislikes chaebols, the saying that everyone wants to become a chaebol is still quite universal!

"Anyway, we'll know the reason later."

"But I feel like something must have happened at the girl's home, otherwise Liu Guangqi would definitely not have come back."

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

The atmosphere in the Jia family, which was once filled with sadness, has become much better today, all thanks to Liu Guangqi, who has brought a bit of liveliness to the family.

Do you think the Jia family can survive these days? Banggeng went to the courtyard for the second time and found a disabled man with a strong will; Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu's little plan was smashed to pieces by Qian Lili with a brick!

There is not a single good thing about it!

"Don't think that Liu Haizhong, the official-obsessed man, is beating up Liu Guangqi. Hey, in the end, it's definitely his eldest son who will win! But the Liu family's daughter-in-law looks like a vixen!" Jia Zhang sneered as she leaned against the window, "Another vixen! Pah!"

Qin Huairu remained silent throughout the whole process, letting Jia Zhangshi perform the one-man show alone! Ever since she failed to snatch Qian Lili last time, Jia Zhangshi looked at her even more with disgust! Now Qin Huairu wished she could be a transparent person at home!

But there is one thing that Jia Zhang said that is true, Pan Cuilian is indeed good-looking, and Qin Huairu's appearance was previously ranked first in the Siheyuan.

Now, the top three places are all occupied. Tsk tsk! Qin Huairu's appearance and figure, which she was proud of, suffered continuous blows in the courtyard!

Yi Zhonghai's family.

Yi Zhonghai was in a bad mood today because Liu Guangtian was back. If he hadn't come back, the courtyard would have two old families without descendants. Although Liu Haizhong's situation was different from his, Yi Zhonghai's, at least he could still deceive himself, right?

Now, Yi Zhonghai is left alone again. Fortunately, he still has Zhuzi, who has been performing well recently and has also placed a "half-open door" next to He Yuzhu!

"Old Yi, how come Liu Guangqi suddenly came back?" Aunt Yi was curious. Everyone would be curious, but they were not Wu Fang, nor were they the staff of the street office, so they could only guess.

Chapter 504 Neighbors Watching the Fun 2

Yi Zhonghai sneered, "No need to guess, Liu Guangqi's father-in-law must have fallen, otherwise how could an ungrateful person like Liu Guangqi come back from outside?"

"And when he heard Old Liu say that he wanted his grandson to change his name, he didn't even refute it. Something must have happened. It's possible that Liu Guangqi doesn't even have a father-in-law now!" Yi Zhonghai vowed.

Yi Zhonghai was indeed the most thoughtful person in the courtyard, and he guessed it almost exactly on the spot.

Aunt Yi also trusted Yi Zhonghai's judgment, "Hey, being an official is still risky!"

Yi Zhonghai raised his head and said, "Of course, these days, it's better to have a skill!"

"Yes, look at Zhuzi, isn't he living a good life now? Now that Liu Guangqi is back, it is still unclear whether he can find a job!" Aunt Yi subconsciously compared her own retirement plan with Liu Guangqi's.

Putting aside other things, at least He Yuzhu doesn't seem to have the potential to be an ungrateful person, right?

Yi Zhonghai was also happy. According to Liu Guangqi's behavior, whether he could provide Liu Haizhong with a good retirement life in the future was still a question! From this point of view, Yi Zhonghai's death was much more stable than Liu Haizhong's!

I took another puff of the cigarette. Hey! Isn't it rare? The cigarette that was a little bitter just now actually tasted a little sweet!

It’s decided. I’ll find Qian Lili tomorrow night to discuss a time. He, Yi Zhonghai, will enjoy himself first!

As expected, people have to live their lives by comparison. If they can't compare with those above them, they can compare with those below them. Isn't it good to make their lives happier?

He Yuzhu's home.

He Yuzhu stopped talking and took a big sip of water to moisten his throat. "That's basically what happened at Uncle Liu's house in the backyard. But I don't know why Liu Guangqi came back from the west."

Qian Lili is a person with a very good brain. If her brain wasn't so good, she wouldn't have been able to leave the door half-closed for so long and would have been caught long ago.

"I guess my backer has fallen. We should know the result in a few days." Qian Lili said with a faint smile.

"My wife is so smart!" He Yuzhu said with a smile and gave Qian Lili a thumbs up to show his praise!

Qian Lili rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and was quite satisfied with this idiot. He went to work and came home every day, cooked for her when he came back, or brought back some food from the steel mill.

Anyway, no one cares about the cook in a canteen, so just don’t offend anyone!

He Yuzhu rubbed his face with a hint of smirk on his face, "Well, what about us?" He Yuzhu pointed to the bedroom. How could an old virgin who had tasted the sweetness of sex resist taking a bite of Qian Lili, such an incredibly tempting fruit?

"Virtue!" Qian Lili smiled coquettishly and gave He Yuzhu a blank look, then stood up and walked towards the bedroom, twisting her waist.

Qian Lili had already reached the door. She turned her head and looked at He Yuzhu who hadn't moved. She couldn't help but said angrily, "Idiot! What are you doing? Are you coming or not?"

He Yuzhu was happy. Hey, this means he agrees! He nodded and followed Qian Lili to the bedroom.

It seems that this dog-licking habit has remained.

Five minutes later, He Yuzhu looked like a saint, leaning against the head of the bed, a cigarette in his mouth, with a look of comfort and satisfaction on his face.
