The strong fisherman in the courtyard

One one one one one one one one one one

It was a little after four in the afternoon when Li Ming woke up from his bed. He stretched his muscles, making a "crackling" sound.

"Is my son awake?"

Li's mother's voice came from the living room outside.

"woke up."

"Brother, come out quickly, let's go watch the fun!"

"What's so exciting?"

"The Jia family hasn't come back yet, and many people in the courtyard are discussing it."

"Hey, what are you discussing? I saw with my own eyes this morning that the Jia family was arrested and taken to the police station to catch up on some sleep."

Li Ming said lightly.

Li's mother, father and sister Li Rui, who were standing by the door, all turned their heads to look at Li Ming.

"Really?"

"No, why would I lie to you!"

"Look, I said the Jia family was arrested." Father Li lit a cigarette for himself and said proudly.

Mother Li turned her head and glanced at Father Li, "How did you know?"

"Hey, I heard that too."

"Come on, let's go out and take a look. We have a meeting in the middle courtyard."

Father Li watched the crowd walk towards the central courtyard and followed them.

Li Ming shrugged. "How can you hold a meeting for such trivial matters? You are so idle."

"Brother, didn't you say that Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's "adopted son"? Now that Yi Zhonghai's son is missing, he must be worried."

I don't know when my sister Li Rui turned into a finishing-hit maniac. If Yi Zhonghai heard this, he would be so angry that his nose would be crooked.

Li Ming smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my sister is right. Let's go and take a look. Haha."

"Mom, are you going?"

"I'm not going. It's time to cook soon. I don't have time to accompany them in making trouble. Besides, it's Yi Zhonghai's son who is missing, not my son. Why should I be in such a hurry?"

After saying this, Mother Li turned back into the house, apparently to prepare dinner.

Middle Court.

Everyone gathered in groups of three or five. To be honest, the only reason they got together for this trivial matter was because they had nothing to do today and everyone wanted to come out to watch the fun. If you change the time, you will see how many of these people are willing to come.

This time, Yi Zhonghai didn't wait for Liu Haizhong to speak, and he spoke first, "Everyone knows that the three people from the Jia family haven't come back yet. Do you know where they went?"

"They were taken to the police station! I saw it today. The Jia family had a fight with someone!"

"No, no, the three of them fell into the river. I heard someone else say that."

"Bullshit, the place where we buy vegetables is at least 10 miles away from the river. Even if you say they fell into the well, it's better than falling into the river!"

"Oh, it fell into the well~~~"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the neighbors who were making a fuss with a frown on his face, then turned to look at the person who had initially said that the three members of the Jia family had been taken to the police station.

"Did you see it?"

"Nonsense, they were fighting right next to me, and were later caught by the guy in the wide-brimmed hat. How can I lie to you, your uncle?"

The man retorted without any politeness. After all, everyone had just woken up and was quite angry. Yi Zhonghai expressed his understanding.

"Okay, I'll go to the police station and take a look."

Yi Zhonghai said this and walked out without paying any attention to the remaining neighbors. However, these neighbors did not care either. It was not a serious meeting anyway, and they all just came to watch the fun.

After the whole process, there was a big fat face with black bangs, as if someone owed him two hundred yuan.

"Okay, I thought something good was going to happen. Let's go home and rest!"

Father Li expressed his displeasure at not being able to see the fun and turned around and walked towards the front yard.

It was not until the Li family finished dinner that they saw Yi Zhonghai and three people with disheveled hair and dark faces passing through the corridor in the front yard.

"Hiss, how did these three people become like this?" Father Li rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise.

"I guess they got beaten up inside, or they got into trouble. Anyway, this morning I saw the three of them being beaten to the ground by the old man and his son from across the street."

"It's been a great beating." Li Ming said with a smile as he took a sip of tea water.

"They don't have any winter vegetables this year?"

"That's all. At least the neighborhood office now knows that it's just this batch." Li's mother whispered the inside story.

Li Ming slapped his thigh and said, "Great! Really great!"

"It's what you deserve. You guys didn't line up honestly, so Jia Zhang had to make trouble. You must be dumbfounded, hehe."

"Ruirui, look at your brother's expression now. Isn't it very bad?" Father Li pointed at his son and asked his daughter with a smile.

Li Rui shook her head. "The Jia family bullied our family. My brother is not a bad person."

Li's mother slapped her husband and said, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. Go wash the pot!"

"I'll go right away." Comrade Li Weiguo, knowing that he was too talkative, could only hold his nose and quickly clean up the dishes and ran to the kitchen to start cleaning.

Li Ming could hear it from the small living room. Old Li was swearing at the Jia family while washing the dishes.

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the three black monkeys in front of him with a pained look on his face, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"If I hadn't heard about your whereabouts from our neighbors, I would still be puzzled!"

This time Jia Zhang knew she was in the wrong, and because of her own fault, the Jia family hasn't gotten any winter vegetables, let alone a single cabbage stalk!

Chapter 87 He Yuzhu is in love

Jia Zhang was too guilty to speak, she just dragged her fat body to the head of the kang, like a silent sculpture. Jia Dongxu looked at his master and then at his mother, and sighed.

"Hey, Master, thank you for your hard work. You have to run another trip."

"Huairu, go pour a glass of water for my master." Jia Dongxu glanced at Qin Huairu who was standing beside him. Qin Huairu felt relieved when he heard Jia Dongxu's voice and started to move.

Yi Zhonghai felt relieved when he saw that his apprentice at least thought of drinking water for him. He had to feel relieved because he had to finish the retirement path he had chosen, even with tears in his eyes. He handed Jia Dongxu a cigarette and lit one for himself.

"Okay then, I won't ask anymore, but you didn't buy any vegetables this time, so you can only wait until next time."

"It's okay, maybe next time. I still have a lot at home, enough to last until next time I buy some." Jia Dongxu inhaled nearly half of the cigarette in one breath, let it pass through his lungs, and then exhaled.

When you were catching up on sleep in the police station, no one allowed you to smoke. Jia Dongxu would have been so impatient that he would have become an idiot.

Yi Zhonghai saw the tired look of the three members of the Jia family, so he didn't stay any longer. He chatted with them for a few words and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he also reminded them, "There is no food at home. If you can't, go to my place and get some food. I'm leaving first, so you should rest early."

"understood."

Jia Dongxu's muffled voice came, and it was not known whether it was because of fatigue or because he was depressed after being beaten two by one today.

Yi Zhonghai walked out of the Jia family's door with his hands behind his back. He glanced at He Yuzhu who was sitting in front of the door, nodded at He Yuzhu, and then went back.

In the middle courtyard, the Yi family.

"Lao Yi, what's going on next door?" An old lady came up to him with a gossipy look on her face. Although he was the person chosen by their family to take care of them in their old age, it did not affect her curiosity at all.

"What else can I do? Did Jia Zhang think I wouldn't know unless she told me? It must be Jia Zhang who started this!"

"All three members of the Jia family were sent to the police station to catch up on some sleep today! As a result, the Jia family didn't even buy a cabbage stalk today. They don't know how they are going to get by in the future."

Yi Zhonghai swallowed a sip of tea in anger. He couldn't lose his temper at Jia's house just now, but he had no scruples when he got home. "This Jia Zhang, every day, she does more harm than good. With the current situation, how can she get another winter vegetable?"

"What will this whole family eat and drink? How are we going to get through the winter?"

Auntie had never seen Yi Zhonghai so anxious before. "Didn't the Li family's wife say yesterday that there was one?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened, looking like donkey eyes, "Have you thought carefully about what Li's wife said?"

"People say that the subdistrict office is well prepared every year, but they don't say that it is well prepared this year as well!"

"The Jia family is the only idiot in the courtyard. They don't listen to orders. Now they are expecting to have another batch of winter vegetables this year. I think it's impossible!"

Uncle Yi Zhonghai was very angry at the moment and he didn't hold back when he spoke.

The aunt suddenly felt a little silly. After all, she was the one who didn't understand. She frowned and didn't want to continue the conversation.

Front yard, Yan's house.

Yan Fugui looked at the cabbage and potatoes he bought today with great pleasure. Although they didn't look good, who was he, Yan Fugui? He had a good tongue and bought a lot of cabbage and potatoes from the website, and the price was very cheap!

"This is our family's food for this winter, and even next spring."

Yan Fugui took a sip of wine. Today he drank real wine, not watered down! After all, it was a good thing, wasn't it? Although he didn't get enough food, he did get enough food!

The third aunt rolled her eyes at Yan Fugui. After cleaning up, Yan Fugui had been running back and forth, not even feeling tired.

“Do we still have to eat this next year?”

Yan Fugui's eyes widened. "Of course, there is no food like this outside. It's rare for the villages around Sijiu City to have as much food as we do!"

"The harvest this year is not good, and there might be famine next year!" Yan Fugui closed the door of his house with a sly look in his eyes, and then continued speaking.

"Can it be so weird?" Aunt Yan was sewing and altering a piece of rag that was not a piece of clothing, apparently preparing to make a small piece of clothing.

"Well, we'll see."

"The Jia family was stupid enough not to buy winter vegetables this time. It won't be long before they start crying!"

"You don't even buy groceries properly, but you have to pick a fight with others. You deserve it!"

At that time, Yan Fugui was standing in the queue next to the Jia family. He saw clearly what Jia Zhang did.

In the middle courtyard, the He family.

He Yuzhu watched Yi Zhonghai coming out of the Jia family. He originally wanted to go there too, but Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi didn't like him and were wary of him. He had planned to go see Sister Qin today, but he couldn't go. He could only sit in front of his doorstep and look in the direction of the Jia family.

"Brother, what are we having for dinner tonight?" He Yushui's thin body appeared in front of He Yuzhu, interrupting He Yuzhu's state of missing Sister Qin.

He Yuzhu waved his hand quickly, "Go, go do what you need to do, I'll be back to cook in a while."

He Yushui glanced at his elder brother, then looked in the direction of the Jia family. His face fell and he walked into the house in a depressed mood.

Compared with the peaceful and beautiful front and back yards, the back yard is now in chaos.

Liu Haizhong was chasing his son around the yard with a broom in his hand. He had no other intention, it was just that today was the time to beat the child. The neighbors in the backyard all came out of their homes to watch the show.

Xu Fugui was smoking while teaching his son.

"Did you see that? The guy with the Liu Haizhong look like this, he beats the kids whenever he has nothing to do, he beats the kids even when he has something to do, he can never be an official in his life if he can't treat everyone equally!"

Xu Damao nodded. He also felt that Liu Haizhong was too cruel. If his father had treated him in the same way, he, Xu Damao, would have given up and run away long ago.

"You should hang out with the Li family more often in the future. That's better than anything else! These people in our courtyard, hey, none of them have any future!"

As Xu Fugui is the only one of the eight major members in the backyard, it is not wrong for him to say this. Although Liu Haizhong is a level 6 worker and earns a little more than him, if you talk about which family has the richest financial resources, the Xu family in the backyard is the leader!

After Xu Damao became a projectionist, he went to the countryside to eat and take things, and he kicked widows' doors at night. I guess he learned this from his father!

"By the way, Dad, was the Jia family really taken away by the police today?"

Xu Damao suddenly remembered that Jia Jia had not come back tonight, and asked.

"Of course I saw them being taken away. How could this be true?"

"We are so far away from the Jia family, how did you see it?" Xu Damao looked incredulous.

"Hey, you keep glancing at the pretty girls around you. Where can you notice your dad?"

Xu Damao was embarrassed by his father. He was already at this age. If it weren't for that damned person who ruined his marriage, he would have had a wife by now! Why was he just standing here watching Liu Haizhong beat a child?

Chapter 88 Li Huaide's Part-time Job

Xu Fugui knew at a glance that it was time for his child to grow up, but it was a pity that the good red string he tied for him last time was ruined by someone!

The father and son had the same thoughts at this moment, cursing in their hearts the person who had ruined the meal.

Front yard, Li's house.
