The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Li Ming held a cigarette in his hand and went to the stove to light it. Since it was snowing now, food would at least not be as scarce next year as it had been in the past three years.

Although it affected his business on the black market, the impact was not significant. In the past three years, their business on the black market had attracted a lot of customers and did not affect their ability to make money. Not to mention that they also exchanged grain for tickets at a low price. People on both sides now had a lot of tickets saved.

When the time comes, you can just take these tickets and exchange them for money at a high price. It won’t have much of an impact.

"I wonder when the man Qin Huairu found to help will come to the Siheyuan. I believe the Siheyuan will be more lively by then." Li Ming held his chin with one hand and looked out the window, muttering softly.

He really didn't expect the Siheyuan to become quiet. If this Siheyuan were quiet, where would he go to get the money?

The plot has been changed so badly now, there will definitely be more fun in the future.

The only regret is that Qian Lili and He Yuzhu did not have any major conflicts. No matter how many rumors there are outside, these two are still a family.

After all, time travelers are not omnipotent. If there is no way to separate the couple for the time being, then they can only change their target first. Anyway, they have to go fishing!

There are many people in the courtyard who hate Li Ming, the most prominent of whom is the Yan family who lives diagonally opposite.

【Hate Value】

Yi Zhonghai (35)＋

Auntie (15) +

He Yuzhu (52)＋

He Yushui (18) +

Jia Zhangshi (35) +

Qin Huairu (35) +

Jiageng (22) +

Yan Fugui (66)＋

Yan Jiefang (50) +

Deaf Old Lady (30) +

Taking a quick glance at the hatred value list, I found that the hatred value of the old man Yan Fugui had climbed up a little bit, and it was getting closer and closer to 80.

"Wait a little longer, until after the New Year, when the steel rolling mill purchases and lays off employees from USTC, then I must let old man Yan Fugui enjoy himself." Li Ming looked in the direction of Yan's house, a teasing smile flashing across his eyes.

Li Huaide mentioned it to him the last time he went to the steel mill. The chief of the purchasing department might know about it now, but the other two section chiefs certainly don't know. As for Yan Jiefang, who went in through the back door of section chief Wang Jianguo, he certainly doesn't know anything about it.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of footsteps outside.

Li Ming looked out the window and it seemed that the group of aunties and grandmas who had been resting in the courtyard during the day were all rushing to the back, guessing that something exciting had happened again.

After thinking about it, Li Ming still stood guarding his beloved stove steadily. He was not a badger in the melon field who would starve to death if he didn't eat melons for a meal. It was better for him to enjoy this horrible weather at home.

The backyard of the steel rolling mill courtyard.

The deaf old lady's walking stick flew to the side, and the old woman fell to the ground in a dog-chewing-mud posture, with some snow-mud mixture in her mouth, and she was in agony at the moment.

Aunt Yi has appeared beside the old woman and is trying to help her up.

"No, no, my legs hurt and I can't get up!" The old lady's face twitched in pain. It was so damn cold and so damn painful!

She just wanted to come out to empty the urine pot, but she never expected to die in the yard!

Fortunately, I fell when I was coming back from falling down, otherwise I would have saved up more energy!

Aunt Yi turned her head and looked at Qian Lili. She was the only one in the courtyard who stood on the same front with the Yi family. "Lili, go find a pillow first and put it under the old lady. Then find a quilt to cover her. Go to my house and get it!"

"I'm going to the steel mill to find Zhong Hai and Zhu Zi!"

"Okay, Aunt Yi, you go first. I'll go get the pillow and quilt!" Qian Lili walked quickly to the middle courtyard. Since they said they would go to their house to get it, that would be even better! It would save her the trouble.

Aunt Yi nodded and turned to look at the old woman. "Old lady, please hold on for a while. Your granddaughter-in-law will come over to look after you. I'll go to the steel mill to call for help."

"Hey, go ahead."

Although the old thing was in great pain, at least someone was taking care of her now, so she could still hold on for a while.

After all, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu are not in the courtyard now, and she can't expect these aunties and ladies to carry her to the hospital!

Chapter 545: Dissatisfied He Yuzhu

Li Ming saw Aunt Yi leaving the courtyard in a hurry through the window, then he opened the door and listened for a while. After all, there were people discussing the matter in the middle courtyard as well, so he got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"It's such a pity that this old guy didn't fall to death!" Li Ming smacked his lips with regret, then closed the door and continued to watch over his stove. He had also roasted sweet potatoes, and when his family came back, they would be able to eat the delicious roasted sweet potatoes!

Speaking of which, the roasted sweet potatoes we eat in later generations always feel not as fragrant as the sweet potatoes we ate in our childhood or in this era. It’s probably because of the extra Hextech technology.

Li Ming glanced at the sweet potatoes and potatoes on the stove, then went to his bedroom and got a thinner quilt for summer use. He lay down on the chair, covered himself with the quilt, and then closed his eyes to rest.

As for the excitement in the backyard, forget it, he was too lazy to go! It was a pity that the old man didn't fall to death. Wouldn't it be even more ridiculous if he was captured and conscripted?

backyard.

Qian Lili came back from the central courtyard in a hurry, tidied up the old lady and wrapped her in a quilt. After that, she saw a scarf in Yi Zhonghai's house and simply took it for the old lady.

It's good to be generous to others.

About half an hour later, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu came back from outside with steam coming out of their heads. They were relieved to see that the old lady was being well taken care of.

"Hu, hu, Zhuzi, carry the old lady on your back first." Yi Zhonghai leaned on his knees, bent his waist, and gasped heavily. The two of them were really running back for their lives!

He Yuzhu is easier to deal with, after all, he is young, but he is old.

He Yuzhu nodded and took a few deep breaths of cold air. Only then did he recover and carry the old lady on his back. Yi Zhonghai and Qian Lili followed him, and the three of them walked towards the hospital in a hurry.

The snow was falling heavily, and a layer of snow had already formed on the ground.

Although the old lady’s matter is urgent, we can’t be too anxious. What if they drop another one? Tsk tsk!

When passing by the front yard, He Yuzhu glared at the Li family, "Li Ming is obviously in the courtyard too! Why doesn't he go to the back to help the old lady? This guy is really a piece of shit! He doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all!"

He Yuzhu cursed in a low voice, Yi Zhonghai also glanced in the direction of the Li family without leaving a trace, then patted He Yuzhu, "Okay, let's go first!"

Qian Lili followed behind the two of them. She didn't have a bad impression of Li Ming. After all, she didn't really like He Yuzhu at the beginning!

She looked at Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu, who still looked a little bit fierce but weak, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart, "If you have the ability, just shout it out! What kind of ability is it for a grown man to mutter to himself?"

However, she was more curious about Li Ming of the Li family. That was because she married He Yuzhu. If it were any other family, she would have found a way to get in touch with Li Ming long ago. Shaking her head, Qian Lili followed the two of them out of the courtyard.

Li Ming, who was still sleeping at home, had no idea that He Yuzhu had scolded him again. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. If a dog bites you, can you bite the dog back?

Of course, find an opportunity to stew dog meat!

As for He Yuzhu’s rising hatred value, well, you’ll know it next time you look at the hatred value list.

"We're back!" The voice came before Lao Li entered the house.

By the time Li Ming turned his head to look over, Lao Li and several others had already hung up their thick coats. The three of them had expressions of enjoyment on their faces. Compared with other families, the stove in their house had been burning brightly all day long, and the temperature was very comfortable.

"The sweet potatoes and potatoes are all roasted, come and try them." Li Ming picked up two sweet potatoes from the stove.

"Wow, it's quite hot." Li Ming muttered, switching the sweet potato in his hand back and forth and putting it on the table.

"Okay, okay, now I can have something hot and delicious."

Mother Li also happily picked up a potato with chopsticks and cleaned it up slowly.

"I'll go cook. You guys wait for a while." Li Ming stretched his muscles. He had been lying down for the whole day, so it was a good opportunity to stretch while cooking.

......

"I saw Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu leaving the steel mill in a hurry this afternoon. Did something happen in our courtyard?"

Old Li looked curious, and Li's mother and Li Rui also looked over.

"The old lady in the backyard fell down. She was cold and slippery. I guess she fell quite hard. She hasn't come back yet." Li Ming said with a smile.

"Wow, he's so old and he's okay after a hard fall?" Old Li was surprised.

"The harm will last for a thousand years." Ms. Wu Fang did not have the slightest good impression of the old deaf man in the backyard. It was obvious that she still remembered the time when the old man wanted to recognize her son as his grandson.

"That's true. It's good to have a fall. I guess this old guy won't be able to recover by the New Year."

"But even if there's nothing wrong, this old woman rarely comes out. To me, she looks like she's half buried in the ground."

Li Ming was delighted when he heard his family's discussion. This old guy is actually still alive!

If he remembered correctly, this old guy was still alive when the story began. It's been 65 years, and the old guy is already 80 years old!

At the end of Love in the Courtyard, this old guy was still alive and well. When it comes to being alive, he is one of the best!

Compared with the deaf old lady, Jia Dongxu is simply a living short-lived ghost!

Regardless of other people, the Li family had a very enjoyable dinner tonight.

The red burning stove brought great warmth to the house. Moreover, the Li family had more than one stove. All the stoves in the house where people lived were burned by Li Ming.

As for gas poisoning, there is no need to worry. When Li Ming hired someone to renovate the two rooms, the corresponding smoke escapes had already been prepared.

Their family is not short of money, and they have the most coal in the courtyard every winter!

Li Ming used to be away from work the most. Now that Li Ming is a section chief, it is impossible for his living conditions to decline!

Chapter 546: Newcomer to the Siheyuan, Wang Dagen appears!

Hospital, ward.

The deaf old lady was lying on the hospital bed with a ruddy face and fell into a deep sleep. They brought her here in time. Plus, the old lady only had broken bones but no arms or legs, so she was lucky.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the tired He Yuzhu and Qian Lili and smiled. Today, everything was thanks to this couple, who were so filial. It seemed that his retirement plan would be secure.

"Zhu Zi, Li Li, you have worked hard today, go back and have a rest."

"Your Aunt Yi and I will just keep an eye on this side."

"No need, Old Yi, you just go back with Zhuzi and the others. You have to go to work tomorrow!" Aunt Yi waved her hand nonchalantly, looking relaxed. She had nothing to do, so she took advantage of the time when the deaf old lady needed to lie down to move around.

Yi Zhonghai looked at his wife's relaxed expression, thought about his recent work, and nodded.

"Okay, then the three of us will go back first."

Anyway, as long as this old lady doesn't fall on flat ground, basically nothing will happen. Even if she falls in the hospital, it's no big deal. We are in the hospital and it's easy to deal with!

......

Ever since the old deaf man in the backyard signed up for a long-term residence package in the hospital, the courtyard became quiet again.

As for why they would have to pay for a long-term package at the hospital, they are a five-guarantee household, damn, no money! Even if they had to pay, it wouldn't be much, not to mention that they have godchildren and grandchildren who take turns to be filial to them.

I'm afraid this old guy will gain another two pounds after being discharged from the hospital!

However, a special person came to the courtyard today. It happened to be a holiday, so Xu Damao and Li Ming moved their stools to the yard to bask in the sun, which was a good opportunity for them to see the sun first.

It was not until Qin Huairu walked through the front yard with the man carrying a lot of bags that the neighbors who were resting in the front yard became excited.

Well, the civet cat is running wild in the melon field!

"Shit, this guy who looks like an old man, could he be the one Qin Huairu hired to recruit?" Li Ming rubbed his eyes in surprise.

Damn, this thing doesn't look like a rain column, tsk, at best it's about the same size! Besides, it's a bit sloppy, although you can tell it's been cleaned up, but its sloppy temperament makes it hard not to notice it!

Xu Damao swallowed and looked shocked!

They both knew about Qin Huairu's plan to find an accomplice. Not only did they know about it, but everyone in the courtyard knew something about it, but few people had seen the real culprit.

I thought that according to Qin Huairu's character, he would find someone handsome or rich, but he found something like this! He is really not as handsome as Dongxu who is hanging on the wall!

"Looking at the attitude of these two people, I'm afraid that this man will live in our courtyard in the future."

Li Ming nodded, handed Xu Damao a cigarette, and took one himself. "It should be. With all these bags, he must be planning to stay at the Jia family."

"Didn't the Jia family's house also get renovated some time ago?"

"Does anyone know this guy's name? He's really good, and he's quite capable. He was able to get Qin Huairu from our hospital!"

"Yes, yes, second-hand goods are also good goods!"

"I know this man's surname is Wang, his name is Wang Dagenr!"

"Hey, what's that?"

"Da Gen'er! Okay, okay, I get it, haha!"

"Big! Otherwise, how could those two widows in the middle courtyard like him?"

Li Ming and Xu Damao listened to the increasingly outrageous remarks of the wild animals and could not help but take a deep puff of their cigarettes. They were still pure.
