The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Mother Li began to give her husband instructions again.

Comrade Li Weiguo laughed innocently, "Don't worry, I'm a welder and he's a fitter, we hardly see each other in a day."

"Besides, if they really piss me off, I've left some good stuff behind when I was a militiaman in the village."

Mother Li rolled her eyes at Old Li and said, "It's already this time, you better be careful!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my wife."

Comrade Lao Li didn't care at all. After all, it wasn't time yet, and his son was very ruthless. He guessed that these useless people wouldn't even be able to get past his son.

The Li family was not harmed at all after this whole hospital meeting, but the families that were looking for trouble all suffered misfortune.

Two of the three unlucky guys in the Jia family are now lying on the bed groaning and screaming, and the remaining one, Qin Huairu, has a face that is so swollen that it looks like he has gained two times more weight. God knows how much effort Li Ming used?

Originally, Jia Dongxu was planning to take it out on Qin Huairu after returning home, but Li Ming's kick gave him a stitch in the side. His stomach still hurts and he dares not even breathe!

This also allowed Qin Huairu to escape another disaster!

Front yard, Yan's house.

"Tsk tsk, this kid from the Li family is getting more and more ruthless. We should spend more time with the Li family in the future."

"Since our two families reconciled their differences last time, we have at least bought some food from the Li family."

Yan Fugui sat on the kang and mumbled to Third Aunt, which was also for himself. Anyway, he had made up his mind to get closer to the Li family in the future.

After all, Yan Fugui couldn't get any benefits from Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhui and the like, so it would be better for him to get closer to the Li family. If there was a famine in the future, he could still count on the Li family for help.

The third aunt agreed, "Old Yan, you are right. Li Ming was really ruthless today. He even stunned Sha Zhu."

"I've never seen Yi Zhonghai stand up for He Yuzhu. I guess Yi Zhonghai is afraid of getting beaten up!"

Yan Fugui sneered, "If Yi Zhonghai gets beaten today, even if the Li family will have a hard time, Yi Zhonghai will have no prestige in our courtyard in the future. If things go wrong, he will always be unlucky!"

"After all, the two children of the Li family are both very promising, but Yi Zhonghai is just an old and useless person! When the two children of the Li family really become successful, Yi Zhonghai will be old, and by then he will be at the mercy of the Li family!"

Yan Fugui took another deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and said, "I guess Yi Zhonghai was thinking about this, so he calmed down today."

"You're right. From what I see, Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu don't seem to be able to do anything great in the future!" The third aunt also expressed her thoughts.

"Okay, let's not think about these things. The right thing to do is to go to bed early." After Yan Fugui finished speaking, he pulled the light cord and turned off the lights. The more money he could save, the better.

Since 1888, the th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, a generator was installed in the Forbidden City, and the Qing government installed three or four street lamps in the Qianqing Palace. From then on, the city began the era of switching from oil lamps to electric lamps.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the lighting of the country's streets took a big leap forward. In the 50s, ordinary people in Beijing could generally afford electric lights. Although the power supply was not very sufficient at that time, the use of electric lights had become popular and became a part of people's daily life.

Although the Yan family is frugal now, they are not extremely poor. They can certainly afford electric lights, but they usually don't use them. Most of the time they just light an oil lamp to get by.

Li family, second bedroom.

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

[In view of the host's beating of He Yuzhu and the Jia family, a special reward of 5% physical fitness development progress and Sichuan cuisine minor proficiency*1. ]

Li Ming lay on the bed and looked at the rewards and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

"Has the Jia family become so cheap now? Damn, the reward has to be collected by the three of them. It's really worthless!"

"And this He Yuzhu isn't worth much anymore. I guess it's because we haven't recovered from the last time we plundered it."

"But this Sichuan cuisine is good. It will be good to use it when we dig up Ma Hua."

"System, open the panel."

Chapter 104 Li Ming: I am good at poaching!

"It's useful, but not very useful! The only Sichuan dish worth trying is this."

Li Ming's eyes immediately turned to the number of draws. "I've saved four times. I'll stick with it one more time and make five draws in a row! Let's see if I can get a big hit."

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Ming stopped thinking and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day.

Li Ming slept until eight o'clock in the morning as usual. It was already nine o'clock when he finished tidying up at home. He looked up at the time and strolled towards the steel mill.

As the end of the year is approaching, the streets are very busy. Many people come out in advance to buy some things for the New Year, making it very lively.

During this period, Wang Da and Wang Er were selling grain in the black market, and Li Ming collected the money on time and restocked their stocks. Da Hei Shi made a lot of money, and there was enough food in his own space, so he didn't have to worry about the New Year at all.

Sangu Office.

"Mingzi, I heard that you beat up Jia Dongxu, He Yuzhu, and Jia Dongxu's mother in your yard last night?"

As soon as Li Ming pushed the door open, Zhou Tian came up to him eagerly, wanting to inquire about Li Ming's performance last night.

"It's not just the three of them. Hey, I even slapped Jia Dongxu's wife!"

"You kid have no sympathy for women at all!" Zheng Ping said with a sneer.

"I have to be kind to women, but I have to find a first-hand one. Why should I be kind to this second-hand product of a 'mama's boy'?"

"Mingzi, what you said is right! He has already come to your door, why do you care about what happens between a man and a woman?"

Xu Qiang agreed with Li Ming's actions and threw a cigarette to Li Ming in support.

"How do you know it so clearly?" Li Ming didn't really understand how fast gossip spread, but the problem was that it spread too fast.

Regarding what happened last night, were they not living in the courtyard? How come they heard everything clearly this morning?

Wu Gang waved his hand lightly, "This is nothing. This morning, when we came to the steel mill, we ran into the guy named Xu Fugui from your courtyard and his son talking about this at the gate of the steel mill."

"But from what we heard from those two people, they seem to be on your side."

Li Ming curled his lips and didn't care about the actions of the Xu family father and son. This family was not a good person. If you were of no help to them, they would not bother to pay attention to you.

If the Xu family father and son think you are useful to them, then it will be no problem for them to support you.

"Have you finished the work in your courtyard yesterday? Do you need a hand from us to add some extra ingredients to them?"

Zheng Ping asked with a smile, putting his arm around Li Ming's shoulders.

"No need to. I didn't suffer any loss yesterday. Instead, they were the ones who suffered the most. And if I mess with them now, they will definitely know that it's related to me." Li Ming smiled and shook his head. "It's not worth it. Let's wait for a while. Anyway, they can't run away."

"That's right, you brainless people should learn from Mingzi! Don't just rush around looking for half-open doors every day!"

Section Chief Xu was beating up four salted fishes again. The main reason was that these four salted fishes were a cause of worry on a daily basis. If Section Chief Xu didn't find an opportunity to give them a warning, there was no telling when they would do something wrong again.

. . . . . .

"It's a pity that the lunch today wasn't made by Sha Zhu."

Li Ming touched his stomach and felt that he had eaten less today.

"If you want to eat what this idiot cooks again, you have to wait a month. I saw him cleaning the house early this morning."

"Can he really clean the place?"

"No, he was just standing there with a big broom in his hand."

"Well, it's better to clean it up."

"Look, what if people say he's stupid?"

Li Ming felt a little drowsy while listening to the gossip of his colleagues in the department. The main reason was that he didn't take a nap after having a full meal at noon and always felt something was wrong, especially during working hours.

When Li Ming woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. Li Ming, who was bored, planned to go to the cafeteria to see if he could run into Ma Hua and poach He Yuzhu's apprentice in advance.

"I'm going out for a walk, would any of you like to go out?"

"No~"

"Go by yourself, we're waiting until after get off work."

"Don't go."

"I knew you wouldn't go, so I was just being polite." Li Ming curled his lips, with an expression that I had known for a long time.

"Get out!"*n.

"What a hot temper they all have!" Li Ming closed the office door and couldn't help but complain.

The kitchen of the second canteen of the steel rolling mill.

At this moment, the kitchen helpers are all outside smoking and chatting to kill time. After all, after lunch, the day's work is basically done, so now they are all chatting outside.

Unless the leaders of the steel rolling mill want to cook for themselves, the chefs in the canteen will randomly select one or two people to help, and there is no other trouble.

Yueyue was paid as a temporary worker in the steel mill, and she only worked for one morning. No wonder many people wanted to work as temporary workers in the steel mill. First, there was a future, and second, being assigned to the canteen meant they could live a more comfortable life.

Li Ming looked at the kitchen helpers outside according to Ma Hua's appearance in the later plot, hoping to find Ma Hua, but too much time had passed and he couldn't recognize him for a while.

It was not until he heard someone shout "Ma Hua" that Li Ming saw a man with a rather young appearance, who seemed to be about the same age as Li Ming.

After Ma Hua had dealt with the matter, Li Ming walked over with a smile on his face.

"MCA?"

The young man opposite was stunned. He looked at Li Ming for a long time and found that he really didn't know him. Then he asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Li Ming handed over a cigarette and said, "If it's convenient, let's go for a walk. I have something to talk to you about. I'm also an employee of the steel mill."

Seeing the man handing over a Daqianmen cigarette, Ma Hua remembered that they were at a steel mill, so he did not hesitate and followed Li Ming out.

Anyway, this is a steel mill, what could go wrong?

"My name is Li Ming, I'm from the purchasing department of the steel mill. I came to see you today for something. Shall we chat?"

Ma Hua really couldn't understand what the people from the purchasing department wanted to see him about, but he didn't refuse. "Tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help."

"But I'm just a temporary worker and I don't have any special abilities." Ma Hua smiled innocently.

Li Ming is quite interested in Ma Hua in the original drama. After all, in "The Love in Courtyard", there are only a few people with decent character, and Ma Hua is one of them.

Chapter 105 Xu Damao shows goodwill

"It's okay, I'm sure you can help me with this."

"Then tell me?"

"When He Yuzhu comes to work in the cafeteria, I'll ask you to help me keep an eye on He Yuzhu. Is that okay?"

Li Ming's plan was very simple. He Yuzhu now had the habit of stealing lunch boxes from the courtyard. He planned to catch him once and teach him a lesson first. Since he was going to teach He Yuzhu a lesson, he must not let this matter go.

Especially after the New Year, there is not much food in the steel mill. If we can catch He Yuzhu and give him a good beating, it will at least give him a break for two months!

Ma Hua was stunned. He didn't expect that the person in front of him had a grudge against He Yuzhu. Just as he was about to ask more questions, Li Ming blocked his mouth.

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. If you agree, I can teach you cooking. Seeing that you are in the cafeteria, you should also be planning to learn a skill, right?"

Ma Hua nodded subconsciously. Who wouldn't want to learn a skill that was very popular these days? He had originally planned to see if he could find He Yuzhu to be his apprentice, but he had just come to the steel mill not long ago, so he naturally couldn't bring it up. Now the man opposite him brought it up directly.

"You can?"

Ma Hua’s meaning is quite simple. We are about the same age, so it doesn’t mean you can teach me, right?

"Don't worry, I won't fool you about this. I can show you my skills on our day off this week."

Li Ming looked at Ma Hua. He was very honest in the original drama, but now he doesn’t look stupid. It’s better not to be stupid!

"Besides, this is not the only benefit. If you agree, I can help you get a permanent job."

When Ma Hua heard this, his eyes lit up. Although he knew that it was easy for people with connections to get a permanent job, but it was extremely difficult for people without connections to get a permanent job, he still couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

There's no other reason. There's only him and his father at home. His father doesn't have a formal job and usually just helps people do carpentry work to make a living. Food is hard to come by now, so Ma Hua has been very worried during this period.

"really?"

"Seriously, Li Huaide is my uncle!" Li Ming chuckled, quite like my father Zhang Erhe, it's fucking cool to have a background!

Ma Hua nodded. He and He Yuzhu were not that close now. Although he planned to become He Yuzhu's apprentice, it had not happened yet! Someone had put an olive branch on his head. How could he refuse it?
