The strong fisherman in the courtyard

"Well, we are neighbors, what's the big deal! I'll take you to see it."

Father Li brought Yi Zhonghai to the front yard, only to find that the tires of his two bicycles had been deflated, and he immediately became "furious."

"Who is it? How could you let the air out of our bicycle?"

"This Zhongyuan Dongxu is still waiting for the bicycle to save his life!"

Father Li's rather sad voice was heard. The people watching the excitement in the middle courtyard were stunned when they heard it, but then they became happy again and began to chatter.

Li's mother and Li Ming pretended to be anxious and walked towards the front yard.

"Haha, there must be someone who wants to see the Jia family suffer!"

"That's right, the Jia family deserves it!"

"Shazhu's cart didn't come either, and neither did the Li family's bicycle, haha."

"Let Shazhu carry him on his back! Isn't that great?"

forecourt.

Yi Zhonghai's head was now filled with the word "bewildered". He never expected that both of the Li family's bicycles were out of air.

I originally thought that it was the Li family who put it there, but looking at Li Weiguo's appearance, it doesn't seem like it!

Father Li acted for a while, then turned to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle, I'm so sorry, someone deflated the tires in our bicycle."

"There's no way we can take Dongxu to the hospital."

Yi Zhonghai forced a smile on his face, "It's okay, I'll wait for Zhu's cart."

"If it doesn't work, find someone to carry Dongxu."

Li Ming had very sharp ears. When he heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he knew that this bastard was up to no good. He said something to his mother and then strolled out of the courtyard.

Comrade Li Ming is very sure that if that damn Yi Zhonghai still can't wait for He Yuzhu's cart, he will definitely ask Li Ming to carry Jia Dongxu to the hospital on his back, on the grounds that Li Ming is the strongest man in the courtyard.

Li Ming is not happy about it, absolutely not happy about it! If you ask Li Ming to send Jia Dongxu to the "Western Heaven", he will have no objection at all.

Yi Zhonghai's "adopted son" has become like this, Old Deng will definitely give priority to his own retirement, and will certainly not care about offending Li Ming at that time. Plus, the bastards are good at standing on the moral high ground and pointing fingers, so there is a great chance that Comrade Li Ming will be mistaken for "Yang Bailao".

It would be better to go to the Bada Hutong now and meet my two future younger brothers!

"These two street urchins are really quick at taking action, hehe. They're worth a try!" Li Ming rubbed his chin as he hurried to the Eight Great Hutongs, just to digest his food.

Chapter 63 Li Ming recruits younger brothers

Just as Li Ming was on his way to Wang Da and Wang Er's homes, Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard finally turned his attention to Comrade Li Ming for the sake of his "adopted son".

I don't know whether Siheyuan Shazhu did it on purpose or unintentionally, but he hasn't come back yet, and there is no sign of the cart either.

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and looked at Father Li, "Old Li, look, Zhuzi hasn't come back yet. Mingzi is the only one in good health in our hospital. Can you let Mingzi carry Dongxu to the hospital quickly?"

Father Li looked like he was looking at a fool, and the rest of the Li family had the same expression, "Haha, uncle, Mingzi just told me that he was going out to find a cart, and he's not in our courtyard right now."

Comrade Li Weiguo imitated Li Ming's move of spreading his hands like a little bear, expressing that he had the will but not the ability, which almost made Li Rui, who was watching the fun, laugh.

Yi Zhonghai's face twitched, but he didn't say anything. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the central courtyard. It seemed that he was planning to carry his child to the hospital by himself.

"Yi Zhonghai is so shameless!" Li's mother looked at Yi Zhonghai's back and said "Pooh" with disdain.

"That's right. This old guy has lost all his dignity for his 'adopted son' Jia Dongxu."

"You've already torn your face off with our Li family, and you still have the nerve to let our Mingzi carry Jia Dongxu to the hospital!"

Li Rui snorted, "Isn't he afraid that my brother will break Jia Dongxu's other leg on the way?"

The Li family is extremely happy. They have no other intentions. The Jia family is in trouble and Yi Zhonghai has suffered a setback. The Li family is just happy.

"By the way, where is our son? He wouldn't really go looking for a cart, right?" Mother Li asked when she saw that her eldest son had not returned yet.

Father Li waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I guess this kid will come back later today. He might be kidnapped by Yi Zhonghai and become a conscript."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Li Ming was already humming a little tune as he arrived at Bada Hutong and came to the doorsteps of Wang Da and Wang Er's houses.

"Dong dong."

The two brothers inside had just had a fight today, especially one of them broke someone's leg. They were a little nervous at home now. When they heard the door open, they looked at each other, calmed down and then opened the door.

Li Ming looked at the two street urchins who opened the door for him with a smile. They were obviously very arrogant in front of Jia Dongxu that night, but today they became a different person.

"What? You don't want me to come in and sit down?"

Wang Da and Wang Er were stunned. They didn't expect Li Ming to come so soon. It was Wang Da, the elder brother, who reacted faster. "Brother Li, please come in." As Wang Da spoke, he made a waiter's welcoming gesture to invite Li Ming in.

Li Ming spoke only after the three of them sat around the stone table in the yard.

"I didn't expect you two to act so quickly!"

When Wang Da and Wang Er heard Li Ming's words, they felt relieved.

"Brother Li, we waited outside for Jia Dongxu the next day. My brother found a sack in advance and put it on that grandson."

"Hehe, we two brothers didn't touch any other part of his body and just hit one of his legs." Wang Er saw that Li Ming was not here to cause trouble today, but seemed to be here to give them benefits, so he became much more natural at this moment.

Wang Da quickly handed a cigarette to Li Ming and eagerly struck a match to light it for him.

"Whoo~~~"

"You guys did a good job. Are you interested in joining me?" Li Ming looked at the two men with a cigarette in his hand. Although he was younger than them, he was tougher than them!

Wang Da and Wang Er nodded vigorously and said, "Yes."*2.

"Okay, do something with me tomorrow night, and when you're done, I'll arrange other things for you."

"You must satisfy me first. If I am satisfied, I will give you two brothers two temporary jobs in the steel mill."

The two men's eyes sparkled, waiting for this sentence. They knew the ability of the man in front of them, and they would be happy to get two temporary workers in a few years. In this day and age, being a temporary worker in a steel mill is like having one foot in the system, which is better than being a street urchin!

"Don't worry, Brother Li, from now on we two brothers will follow you." Wang Da's face was immediately filled with smiles and he quickly expressed his opinion.

Wang Er was unwilling to be left behind, so he walked behind Li Ming and started patting his back.

Comrade Li Ming was very satisfied with the expressions of the two men. This kind of younger brother is worth training.

What to do if you can't acquaint them? There are a lot of street thugs these days. Throwing a brick can knock out two of them. If you can't acquaint them, just replace them with a new batch!

"Okay, tomorrow night you two pull a cart to the moat and wait for me. If there's anything I need you to carry to the steel mill."

Comrade Li Ming was originally planning to ask Li Huaide to arrange a cart to transport the pork tomorrow. Now that these two hard-working people have arrived, it is a good opportunity to let them pull the cart, which can also keep a low profile.

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Li!"

"No problem, Brother Li!"

Li Ming took out five big black tens from his pocket and put them on the table. "If you guys follow me, I won't let you suffer any loss." Pointing at the money on the table, "This is the fifty that Jia Dongxu promised you. Haha."

"But you'll have to work harder tomorrow."

The two brothers were surprised, they didn't expect that they could make money. The main thing was that they could get money on the first day, this job was too lucrative.

"Hehe, thank you Brother Li." Wang Da is now full of anticipation for working for Li Ming.

"Don't blame me for not telling you. Eat more tomorrow. The load you have to haul tonight is not light, and you have to haul it to the steel mill, which is even more strenuous."

Li Ming gave one more reminder before leaving.

"Okay."

Li Ming then came out of Wang's house and strolled towards the courtyard. He thought that Jia Dongxu must have been sent to the hospital by now, so it was a good time for him to go back.

Wang family.

Wang Er held the money that Li Ming put on the table in his hand and smelled it with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Brother, this Brother Li is really generous! Not only did he agree to be our temporary worker, but I didn't expect that we would get paid for the work."

Wang Da was smoking on the side. After listening to his brother's words, he nodded and said, "At least if we follow him, we two brothers will have something to look forward to. Our Wang family will not be cut off by us two brothers."

"Don't tell anyone about this, including the fact that Jia Dongxu and Brother Li came to our house today. Keep it to yourself."

Wang Da was quite worried and gave another warning to his silly brother.

"Brother, I'm simple-minded, not stupid! Don't worry."

Wang Er happily touched the money several times before reluctantly handing it to his elder brother. He then took out a cigarette from his elder brother's pocket and lit it happily.

Steel rolling mill courtyard, Li family.

"I'm back!" Li Ming shouted as he entered the room.

Chapter 64 Li Ming: Thank you Brother Dongxu for the reward!

"You're back. What have you been doing? Why are you back so late?" Li's mother seemed unhappy. After all, it was getting dark, and her son had been out for much longer than before to digest his food.

Li Ming touched his head and said, "I just walk around outside more often. I'm not afraid of being conscripted by that old man Yi Zhonghai."

"By the way, has that old fellow Yi Zhonghai come to see me?"

Li Rui jumped out from the side after hearing this, "Looking for you, brother, you guessed it right."

"He said that you are the best in our courtyard, and you can go to the hospital faster by carrying Jia Dongxu on your back."

"This old fellow Yi Zhonghai is really willing to sacrifice his reputation for his retirement." Father Li expressed his opinion while holding a teacup.

"It's a good thing our son was smart and managed to dodge it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape this."

"Mom, was it Yi Zhonghai who later delivered it to Jia Dongxu?" Li Ming poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.

Mother Li nodded. "I don't know if He Yuzhu did it on purpose. Anyway, he came back with the cart after Yi Zhonghai left with Jia Dongxu on his back."

"Tsk, this Shazhu is not stupid this time." Li Ming said while stroking his chin, and suddenly he heard the broadcast voice of the system in his mind again.

"I'm going back to rest. I've been walking around outside for a long time today and I'm a little tired."

Li Ming greeted his parents and went to his room. Brother Tongzi's report came, so he naturally had to take a good look at it. This was much more interesting than discussing Jia Dongxu.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for fishing successfully! ]

[Number of fishing reward draws*1. Considering the host's success in fishing and causing a crippling blow to Jia Dongxu, special rewards are given for Bajiquan (Great Mastery) proficiency*1 and Dahei Shi*10. ]

"Well, it's better than nothing. It's a bit disappointing that there's nothing new."

Li Ming smacked his lips, still feeling unsatisfied.

[Ding, the system prompts that Bajiquan can increase the host's physical fitness and further growth, and if you fish for the same person continuously in a short period of time, the reward value will decrease slightly. ]

"Well, you're worried that I'll kill a sheep."

"Well, it's better to have it than not to have it. This is pretty good. It seems that my dear brother Dongxu needs to be taken care of for a while longer."

"I have nothing to do during this period, so I have to find other leeks to play with."

After arranging his short-term plan, Li Ming stopped thinking and went to bed. He wanted to find some other fun, but the problem was that now he spent his time either making trouble or watching the fun. He didn't have a wife yet, and the source of the fun in the courtyard should be in the hospital, so he couldn't watch it anymore. He could only go to bed early and get up early to get better.

The next day.

The Sangu office of the steel rolling mill.

The lazy guys inside were discussing with Li Ming the tragic beating Jia Dongxu received yesterday, which made Li Ming sigh at the speed at which gossip spreads nowadays.

"This 'mama's boy' Jia Dongxu must have offended someone, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten so badly!"

"I heard that your legs were chopped off?"

"No, no, I heard that both legs were chopped off."

Li Ming listened to the gossip coming out of their mouths. He had no doubt that Jia Dongxu would die in the gossip in a while. The gossip was too outrageous. He didn't know which god made up the rumor.

Zhou Tian looked impatient. The four of them had been arguing for a long time but still couldn't figure out the ending of the "mama's boy". "Mingzi, Jia Dongxu is from your hospital. Can you tell us about him?" Just then he saw Li Ming pushing the door in, so he directly asked the people who were at the scene last night.

"Yeah."

"Tell the brothers about it!"

"Our section chief is also very curious. He's going to the toilet now. We'll tell him about it when he comes back." Wu Gang interrupted.

Li Ming had no choice but to tell a few people what happened before he left. Although the system determined that Jia Dongxu was disabled, it was not clear in what way. However, it was estimated that the disability was not very serious. If he was seriously disabled, Brother Tongzi would not have given him such a small reward.

"What happened next?" The gossip fire in Zheng Ping's eyes was already burning, and the other three were also interested in the follow-up of Jia Dongxu's visit to the hospital.
