The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Qian Lili got up, put on her clothes, got out of bed, and started to clean up outside.

It's true that He Yuzhu is satisfied, but she's really not satisfied! She just got interested, damn, she's grown so tall for nothing! Trash!

Qian Lili looked unhappy and actually missed Yi Zhonghai. Although he was an old guy, it was true that he was still strong. At least he missed him by at least 10 minutes longer than He Yuzhu!

Backyard, Xu Damao's house.

Tsk, how can I put it? Xu Damao and He Yuzhu are indeed lifelong enemies. Xu Damao's current posture is exactly the same as He Yuzhu's!

Both were leaning against the head of the bed, a cigarette in their mouths, with a satisfied smile on their faces, but the only difference was that Yu Li did not get out of bed to tidy herself up, but instead leaned on Xu Damao, with a hint of lingering charm on her face.

It seems that, at least in terms of time, a satisfactory result should have been obtained. It should at least be much better than He Yuzhu, who is good-looking but useless!

"Da Mao, the eldest son of the Liu family across the street?"

Xu Damao then remembered that his wife was not very familiar with the affairs of the Liu family across the street, especially the ungrateful Liu Guangqi who ran away.

After taking the last puff, Xu Damao threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, then hugged Yu Li and began to talk to her in detail.

"Hey, in my opinion, Liu Guangqi's father-in-law is probably fallen, otherwise this bastard might not come back!" Xu Damao sneered. As someone who has been familiar with Siheyuan since childhood, he is too familiar with Liu Guangqi's character.

Anyway, it’s not a good thing.

Yu Li nodded simply, "I think so too. Liu Guangqi doesn't look good at first glance, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks!"

"We don't know about Liu Guangqi, but the Li family in the front yard of the courtyard must know. My brother's mother works in the street office." Xu Damao stroked his chin and said, "Logically speaking, Liu Guangqi must show up in the street office when he comes back from outside, especially with his family."

"I'll go and check it out tomorrow!" Xu Damao said happily.

He did meet Qian Lili briefly in the past two days. He didn't know whether Qian Lili forgot Xu Damao or failed to recognize him for a while. This was good news for Xu Damao.

At least he still had enough time to secretly manipulate the evidence he needed. Now that Liu Guangqi was back, Xu Damao just used it to kill time, since he didn't have to go to the countryside recently anyway.

Middle courtyard, Liu Haizhong’s home.

Liu Guangqi, Pan Cuilian and the child Pan Dongdong slept in the side room. The child fell asleep heartlessly, but Liu Guangqi and Pan Cuilian couldn't sleep.

The two of them had been through a lot recently, and now they had arrived in Sijiu City. One was worried and the other was unfamiliar with the place. How could they fall asleep?

"Tomorrow, are we really going to take Dongdong with us to change his surname?" After a long time, Pan Cuilian asked in a low voice, but she didn't have enough confidence.

She is no longer the child of a high-ranking official, but just a woman who married into an ordinary family in the old city.

Liu Guangqi sighed, "There is no other way. I have to go. Otherwise, Old Liu will not let me go. If we want to live in the city, Dongdong must change his surname back to Liu."

"Otherwise, the spit of the neighbors in the courtyard would be enough to drown someone!"

The little light in Pan Cuilian's eyes disappeared completely. She nodded silently, closed her eyes and prepared to go to sleep.

Liu Guangqi had no choice. When he left Beijing, the job he did was indeed easy to be criticized by others. It would be fine if he came back in glory, but now he came back in disgrace.

Chapter 505 Notice

The next day.

The steel rolling mill courtyard, front yard.

When Li Ming woke up in the morning, he felt that many people in the courtyard were busy and hurried, especially Liu Guangqi who had just returned. Li Ming saw him go out with his wife and children early in the morning. He thought he was planning to change his surname.

"Tsk tsk, what a miserable situation! If the brothers Guangtian and Guangfu knew about this, they would be so happy!" Li Ming teased as he watched Liu Guangqi leaving.

"Mingzi, what are you mumbling to yourself?" Xu Damao's voice rang out.

Li Ming turned around and saw Xu Damao grinning, and he also laughed, "What's up? I see that you seem to be in a much better mood these past two days, brother Damao? Could it be that you have made some crucial progress?"

Xu Damao's face fell, "Damn it, no, this woman is really cautious. I haven't found any suitable tricks yet."

"As for being happy, well, it's like this now, I can't just be sad every day, right? Besides, I walked past Qian Lili a few days ago, and whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't recognize me anyway."

"It's a good thing that can be considered just barely acceptable."

Li understood clearly that even if Qian Lili recognized Xu Damao as her former benefactor, she would not be able to point him out. It would not be a good thing for either her or Xu Damao. It would be better to pretend that it never happened.

However, Xu Damao is definitely not that kind of person. It is possible that Qian Lili might want the two of them to live in peace, but Xu Damao's vengeful character means that he would never allow Qian Lili, a bomb, to hang around him all day long.

He took the cigarette that Xu Damao handed over and lit it, "Brother Damao, do you need my help with something?"

Xu Damao glanced around and saw that everyone was at work and no one paid any attention to the two of them. He simply pulled Li Ming to a corner and said, "Hey, isn't this Liu Guangqi, that ungrateful guy, back? I want to find out what happened to this kid outside!"

"What a coincidence! I actually knew it." Li Ming was happy. It was not a bad idea to let Xu Damao publicize for Liu Guangqi. It was a good way to vent the anger of the two brothers Guangtian and Guangfu.

As Li Ming revealed the information, Xu Damao's eyes became brighter and brighter. Wow, this is the first time he has encountered such gossip in all these years.

The door was jammed upside down, and after the job was done, he could only come back dejected. How beautiful! Liu Guangqi's experience in the past few years is really impressive!

"Okay, okay, this ungrateful guy Liu Guangqi has quite a lot of experience!" Xu Damao didn't even take a puff of the cigarette in his hand, completely immersed in the gossip.

Li Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's basically the situation. At that time, I saw Liu Guangqi and his family hurried out. I guess they were going to change the child's surname!"

"After all, Liu Haizhong said yesterday that if the child's last name is not changed, he will not be allowed to return home."

"That makes sense! Now that his father-in-law's family is bankrupt, Liu Guangqi will naturally come back to take advantage of Liu Haizhong. If he doesn't listen to Liu Haizhong, then Liu Guangqi will have nothing to take advantage of!" Xu Damao laughed contemptuously.

"Okay, Mingzi, go do what you should do. I'll go to the backyard and tell your sister-in-law about this. She's also very curious!" Xu Damao happily ran to the backyard.

"Yu Li is really capable. She has trained Xu Damao quite well!" Li Ming said with a smile, looking at Xu Damao's back.

. . . . . .

Paoju Hutong.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu fell into a long silence after hearing the news brought back by the brothers Yan Xing and Yan Wang.

Until a burst of chuckles appeared, Liu Guangtian smiled and shook his head, lit a cigarette and started smoking, and Liu Guangfu soon came to his senses, with a relaxed smile on his face.

As for the Yan brothers? Hey, now that they are fine, I am relieved. After all, they are all acquaintances and they share the same business. If something goes wrong with these two and they lose money, that would not be good.

"I can't believe that our eldest brother's experience is so bizarre." Liu Guangtian said happily. He had no sympathy for Liu Guangqi's experience. At that time, that bastard didn't say a word. The two brothers were almost beaten to death by Liu Haizhong.

Now that Liu Guangqi is in trouble, the two brothers can't wait to be happy! As for how they knew this, Li Ming told them everything when he went to see the Yan brothers yesterday.

"The child still takes the woman's surname. That old guy in Liu Haizhong will be so pissed off!" Liu Guangfu also grinned.

Yan Xing nodded this time. "We went home late yesterday, so we don't know exactly, but Brother Li told us that Liu Haizhong beat Liu Guangqi with a belt, and he took the child to change his name early this morning."

Wow! The brothers' eyes lit up. Damn, this is the first time I've heard Liu Guangqi get beaten in all my life!

"What a pity, we two brothers didn't get to see it, hehe!"

"But it's not bad. No, I have to drink something at noon today!" Liu Guangfu looked at his brother excitedly. This brother is much better than that loser Liu Guangqi!

"Hello! Xingzi and Wangzi? Would you like some?" Liu Guangtian nodded vigorously and looked at the Yan brothers.

The Yan brothers were happy and did not refuse. They came here with a mission today. Li Ming had instructed them to accompany the Liu brothers to vent their emotions.

"no problem!"

"Me too! I'll go buy some cooked food!" Yan Wang said, then stood up and walked out.

Seeing this, Liu Guangfu hurriedly followed, while Liu Guangtian and Yan Xing began to clean up in the house. Since they were planning to drink something today, they might as well drink as much as they wanted!

They have a place to sleep even if they get drunk, and luckily, they haven’t been drinking much recently!

While the four of them were eating meat and drinking wine, Liu Guangqi also brought his wife Pan Cuilian and Pan Dongdong, no, Liu Dongdong back to the courtyard.

The last name was changed and the result was smooth, but the process was not very good!

The men in the old city despise this behavior of marrying into the wife's family, and even the women look down on this kind of behavior.

So, in order to change their surname this morning, this family received a lot of cold shoulder. Fortunately, the result was good, at least no one made things difficult for them.

A hapless white-eyed wolf, generally no one is willing to make things difficult for such a person, it's useless!

The steel rolling mill courtyard, the backyard, Liu Haizhong's home.

Aunt Liu prepared lunch early and waited for her son, grandson, and daughter-in-law to come back. Liu Haizhong went to work at the steel rolling mill and could not take a leave!

If it was still the old couple, it would be fine, but now there are three more people. What will the five of them eat and drink after taking leave? Liu Haizhong is still thinking about going to the black market to buy some more food in the next two days!

Chapter 506: Liu Guangqi hits a wall

"Mom!"*2.

Liu Guangqi and his wife saw Aunt Liu waiting for them at the door and shouted.

Aunt Liu has been smiling since her son came home yesterday. "You're back? Is everything going well?"

Liu Guangqi took out a small notebook and handed it out, and then the family returned home.

"I'm glad everything went well. Let's eat first." Aunt Liu said with satisfaction.

After lunch, Liu Guangqi sat in the house smoking, while Pan Cuilian and Aunt Liu were cleaning in the kitchen.

He should think about what to do. He can't just rely on Liu Haizhong, right? He returned to the city and it was time to find a job, even if it wasn't a formal job.

Although Liu Guangqi returned in a shabby state, at least he had a deep understanding of himself. Without his father-in-law, it was good enough for him to be a temporary worker.

"Cui Lian, I'm going out to find a job this afternoon. You stay at home and watch the things and stay with mom." Liu Guangqi muttered to his wife.

Pan Cuilian nodded but didn't reply. Liu Guangqi would definitely have to find a job. If he didn't have a job, even father and son couldn't live in harmony for long. What's more, her father-in-law was not an easy person to get along with. At least he had a lot of resentment towards her. After all, it was she who instigated Liu Guangqi to leave his hometown.

Now that her family has lost its support, she followed Liu Guangqi back to Beijing in shame and became a dependent.

Central courtyard, He Yuzhu's home.

Qian Lili chased away a disabled thief with a gloomy look on her face, and simply moved a chair to sit in front of the door, looking in the direction of the Jia family with gloomy eyes.

He Yuzhu, this idiot, didn't even explain the situation of the courtyard to her. Qin Huairu's son actually has a part-time job!

If she hadn't done special work and was not more alert, this disabled guy called Banggeng would have stolen everything from their house!

"Okay, this Jia family is really not a good family. There is not a single good person in the whole family!" Qian Lili laughed angrily.

Jia Zhang hadn't experienced it yet, but she knew something from the neighbors. She didn't expect that their child was not a good person! No wonder Bang Geng was disabled. He must have been caught for petty theft!

"Hmph, don't even think about getting into my bed tonight, this idiot!" Qian Lili cursed in her heart. She treated all these things of the He family as her own property on the first day she married into the He family. Now a little brat in the courtyard dared to steal from her. How could she tolerate this?

If Qian Lili hadn't just married, she would have to fight with the Jia family today! But it wouldn't be a problem to secretly give the Jia family a slap in the face.

Front yard, Li's house.

Li Ming is now leisurely packing food at home. He has to go to the steel mill to hand in a task tomorrow, so the food has to be prepared in advance.

For buyers like them, this good life will only last for one year. After they get through the difficult times next year, they will have to start going to the countryside more frequently and report to the steel mill every day. It's a headache just thinking about it.

The good thing is that he is now somewhat of an official, and no one cares about him. After all, he has a backer, and when he goes to the steel mill, it will be just a matter of checking in and out for get off work.

"Well, thirty kilograms, that's about enough." Li Ming muttered as he looked at the package in front of him, then took a rest on the recliner in the small living room.

It's a bit early to make dinner now, let's take a break first! Anyway, there's nothing to do every day, right?

. . . . . .

evening.

The courtyard gradually became lively as the workers returned to the courtyard after get off work. The courtyard was full of life again. It was unlike the daytime when there were few people around except for the aunties and uncles.

"I knew that my son must have prepared dinner, haha!" Comrade Li Weiguo lifted the door curtain and came in, laughing.

Mother Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go wash your hands before eating!"

Comrade Lao Li smiled innocently, took his little cotton-padded jacket and went to wash his hands, being a well-behaved and obedient child.

After the family washed their hands, they sat down and started to eat. During the meal, Old Li and Little Li talked about interesting things in the steel mill, and occasionally Li's mother would join in. The atmosphere among the family was extremely harmonious.

At least this kind of homely atmosphere is rarely seen in their courtyard.

"Son, you should go to the steel mill tomorrow, right?" Father Li asked Li Ming who was slumped in the chair.

Li Ming nodded. "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"No, I just wanted to remind you. After all, you almost forgot several times that this is true." Comrade Lao Li teased.

Li Ming pursed his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to Comrade Lao Li.

"By the way, Liu Guangqi went to the street office again in the afternoon. He wanted our street office to find a job for him." Li's mother said this while thinking of Liu Guangqi in the backyard, which immediately aroused the interest of the three people.

Mother Li looked at the three people and didn't know why they were so curious! Could it be that they were all idle?

"Did you find it for him?"

"Hey, I want to know too."

After saying this, the father and son looked at each other happily.
