The strong fisherman in the courtyard

"Come out and take a look!"

After the two voices finished howling, Xu Damao didn't show any reluctance to leave. He turned around and ran away, and He Yuzhu's angry curses were heard from behind.

"You idiot, you bastard! Don't let me catch you!"

Xu Damao turned his head and made a face at He Yuzhu, "Silly Zhu, you better get through this level!"

Li Ming also turned his head and looked back in the corridor, only to see Jia Zhang rushing out with a broom in hand, "Silly Zhu! What the hell did you say in the first place, you bastard!"

Jia Zhang picked up a broom and hit He Yuzhu. Jia Dongxu came out with a gloomy face, walked to the sink, grabbed Qin Huairu's hair and pulled her into the house.

"Tsk tsk, this must be painful!" Xu Damao sighed as he looked at the direction where Qin Huairu was being dragged away.

Li Ming laughed, "Brother Damao, this has to be you, haha!"

After Li Ming's interruption, Xu Damao suddenly no longer cared about whether Qin Huairu was in pain or not. He left after the task was completed, hiding his achievements and fame.

Today we are talking about Xu Damao!

"Come on, brothers, let's forget about anything else and go eat first!"

"Let's go!"

. . . . . .

It was a little after one in the afternoon when the two men returned to the courtyard from outside.

forecourt.

"Okay, Mingzi, I'm going to go back and catch up on some sleep. You can just leave the rest to your brother Damao!"

Xu Damao drank about half a bottle of wine at noon today. He looks dazed now, but he is patting his chest to make a promise.

Li Ming nodded with a smile, "Okay, Brother Damao, just go back and get some sleep first!"

"Okay then, I'm leaving!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he staggered towards the backyard. He didn't drink much today. If he had drunk more, Li Ming would have had to go to the backyard more often.

Li Ming slowly returned to his room and brought out a recliner. Taking advantage of the warm sunlight, he lay down on the recliner and swayed, ready to enjoy the hard-earned quiet time.

When Li Ming woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon, and it was almost four o'clock. He got off the recliner and stretched, just in time to see the third uncle Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui had just returned from fishing and taking a walk outside. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Li Ming stretching there.

"Akira is back!"

Li Ming nodded in response to the Third Uncle's flattering smile, "It's been a while since I came back. You just came back too?"

"Oh, forget it. I've been fishing for the whole afternoon but caught nothing!" Yan Fugui shook the bucket in his hand dejectedly. The bucket was full of water, but it was not considered an empty-handed return. At least he had brought back a bucket of water from the Jinshui River.

Yan Fugui went back to the house, put down the bucket, and strolled out to find Li Ming.

"Mingzi, do you know what Xu Damao shouted in the backyard this morning?"

Li Ming nodded. Not only did he know about it, he was there at the time. However, judging from Yan Fugui's expression, there should be some follow-up.

"I know, but I left afterwards. Is there any chance that something could happen?"

Yan Fugui was delighted and was just about to keep the secret when Li Ming handed him a Daqianmen cigarette. The third uncle's two little eyes were invisible due to laughing.

"Well, of course you will, otherwise your uncle will be sorry for this cigarette!"

Yan Fugui happily lit one for himself, and then continued, "This morning, Jia Zhang chased He Yuzhu around the yard with a broom."

"There's a bump on this idiot's head!" Yan Fugui smacked his lips, as if he was recalling the tragedy that happened at noon.

"Yi Zhonghai didn't come out?"

"Well, today is the whole day, and I only saw the old man once this morning, and I haven't seen him again since then."

Yan Fugui shook his head and said, "If the master was in the courtyard today, He Yuzhu wouldn't have been beaten so badly by Jia Zhangshi."

When Li Ming heard that He Yuzhu had a bump on his head, he laughed out loud, "I have to go take a look when I get a chance."

"But this silly Zhu is quite honest and doesn't fight back!"

Yan Fugui rolled his eyes, "How dare he do that? He's obsessed with the Jia family's wife, so I think he deserves to be beaten!"

"Hey, what you said is quite right!" Li Ming said, "But when I left, I saw Jia Dongxu dragging Qin Huairu back home. Did you see what happened later, Third Uncle?"

Yan Fugui squatted aside and pondered for a while, "I saw Qin Huairu when I went out fishing this afternoon, but I didn't look at her carefully. I just thought that Qin Huairu's face was quite red today."

"I didn't feel anything at the time, but now that you mention it, I feel it." Yan Fugui slapped his thigh, "This guy must have been beaten by that coward Jia Dongxu!"

Li Ming exclaimed, "Look at you, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Oh, it's such a pity for me. Such a fertile daughter-in-law will be taken away by the Jia family sooner or later!"

"What? Are you thinking of introducing a girl to Brother Jie Cheng?"

Yan Jiecheng is not married yet, so Yu Li will be in trouble. However, Li Ming doesn't want Yu Li to marry into Yan Laoxi'er's family. Such a capable woman has been a burden to the Yan family in the past few years.

You can't say that he, Li Mingguang, is causing trouble for the neighbors in the courtyard. Isn't this just saving someone from a bad situation? We have to put it in a good way. Besides, this is a fact, isn't it?

After hearing what Li Ming said, Yan Fugui thought about it seriously for a while and then nodded.

"That's right, Mingzi, don't tell me, your uncle really has such a plan!"

"Then you have to choose carefully. Now everyone with a discerning eye can see that there is not enough food. If you add another family like this to your family now, you have to think carefully!"

"That's right, Mingzi, what you said is correct!" Yan Fugui looked at Li Ming gratefully, "Or you can say that you are the top student in our school!"

Li Ming was not interested in listening to Yan Fugui's continued praise. He patted his butt and prepared to go home. Soon, everyone in his family would be back, so he planned to cook dinner in advance.

"Uncle, I'm going home first. I'm going to cook today!"

"Okay, man!"

Chapter 139 He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu were beaten

Li Ming returned home and started to clean up. He really wanted to cook dinner, not to fool Yan Fugui. When he was about five o'clock, Li Ming heard the door open. He looked out of the kitchen and saw that everyone had returned with large and small bags.

My younger sister was wearing her new cotton-padded jacket and was holding several candied haws in her hands, eating them happily.

"Oh, did my son cook today?" Father Li put down what he was holding, smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, and asked knowingly.

"I didn't cook it. The vegetables and other things jumped into the pot on their own." Li Ming retorted. He was the only one in the family. Who else did you think cooked it?

Li's mother smiled from ear to ear and waved to Li Ming, "Mingzi, come here! Mom bought you a new set of clothes and a new pair of shoes."

"Brother, here are some candied haws I saved for you." Li Rui picked up a candied haws and stuffed it into Li Ming's hand, then found a chair to sit on and continued to pack the candied haws in her hand.

Li Ming walked over and tried the new clothes and cotton shoes one by one. They were indeed very good, but it was a bit expensive to buy ready-made ones. Fortunately, the Li family was doing well. If it was the Yan family next door, they would never be able to buy ready-made things in their lifetime!

Mother Li was very satisfied with the effect of her son's treatment and clapped her hands. "Not bad, it seems that I, your mother, have a good eye!"

"Oh, Lao Li, go watch the pot! Don't let the vegetables and rice fight with each other in the pot!"

Mr. Li had just lit a cigarette and before he had time to enjoy it, he was pushed into the kitchen by Mrs. Li.

"Okay, I'll go right away. You guys should pack up and wait for dinner."

. . . . . .

After meal.

"Did Shazhu get beaten again today? Or was it that old woman Jia Zhang who beat him with a broom?" Comrade Li Weiguo approached his son with a curious look on his face and started to inquire.

Just after finishing his meal, Li Ming told his father about the exciting things that happened in the courtyard today. As expected, his father was extremely concerned about He Yuzhu's misfortune.

"That's right. The reason is that Sha Zhu was chatting with Qin Huairu in the middle courtyard. Not only He Yuzhu was beaten, but I heard from the third uncle next door that Qin Huairu was also beaten."

Comrade Li Weiguo stood up immediately and said, "I'm going to the backyard to talk to Liu Quan for a while. It's a good time to help digest the food."

Li Ming pursed his lips. Food? What food? It was obvious that Comrade Li didn't want to wash the pots and dishes, and wanted to see He Yuzhu's face after he was done!

"Brother, I want to go and see too." Li Rui was suppressed by Wu Fang before she finished her words, "Why are you going? Such a good thing for a young girl! Just go and wash the pots and dishes. Your brother cooked the meal today. Do you have the nerve to let him clean it up?"

"彳庍口巴."

Sister Li Rui wasn't really reluctant, after all, she was the one who bought the most things today. The little girl just simply didn't want to wash the pot, but seeing that she couldn't avoid it, there was nothing she could do but go to the kitchen to learn more.

"I'll also go and see this unlucky guy Sha Zhu!" Li Ming thought about it and decided that he didn't have much to do, so he might as well go to the Intermediate Courtyard to see if there were any signs of the bump on Sha Zhu's head showing any signs of success.

After saying that, he took his coat from the hanger on the side and walked out. He was also planning to go to the backyard to call Xu Damao. The two of them would go to watch the fun together and have double the happiness!

backyard.

As soon as Li Ming came in, he saw his father and his friend Liu Quan walking towards the central courtyard. He guessed that they wanted to see if there was a chance to witness Sha Zhu's rise to fame!

"Akiko!"

Li Ming turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, "Brother Damao, wake up!"

Xu Damao was quite embarrassed and scratched his head, "Well, isn't this a happy afternoon? How did they say that? People get drunk even if the wine doesn't make them drunk!"

Li Ming looked at Xu Damao who was frantically trying to make up for himself and was too lazy to spoil his performance. "Then I think Brother Damao, you can have another drink tonight!"

"Oh?" Xu Damao's eyes widened. "Brother, tell me?"

Li Ming handed Xu Damao a cigarette to wake him up, and then told him what happened after the two of them went out at noon.

After hearing this, Xu Damao pulled Li Ming and ran to the central courtyard without saying a word. Looking at this situation, if you didn't know, you would think that something happened to someone in Xu Damao's family!

Li Ming followed Xu Damao to the Intermediate Courtyard, but did not see Sha Zhu show up outside. He planned to wait for a while to see if he could meet him, but unexpectedly Xu Damao started cursing!

"Silly Zhu, come out quickly and let your grandfather see you! Let's see if you have grown horns today!"

Xu Damao's voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly throughout the yard. Li Ming watched as Sha Zhu angrily pushed open the door and ran straight towards Xu Damao.

"You idiot! Damn it! If I catch you today, I'll beat you to death!"

Now, all those watching the fun in the central courtyard saw the big bump on the back of He Yuzhu's head. You know what, this Jia Zhang hit it pretty well!

He Yuzhu no longer cared about other people's ridicule at this moment. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to catch Xu Damao and give him a good beating!

Xu Damao was not stupid, he could neither fight nor run, so he took He Yuzhu and ran out of the courtyard. You might say that he might be caught by He Yuzhu in the courtyard, but once he left the courtyard, this stupid Zhu would not be able to touch a hair!

"Tsk tsk, I always feel that these two are true love!" Li Ming happily refilled his cigarette and just in time saw Qin Huairu coming out of the house.

Hey! You know what, what the third uncle said in the afternoon was really right! It was probably because of the beating that the third uncle had just received when he saw Qin Huairu in the morning. Li Ming could see that Qin Huairu's face had become fatter.

This must have been caused by being slapped! Li Ming shook his head. When he slapped Qin Huairu in the face, he felt that it felt good, but the problem was that no matter how good it felt, you, Jia Dongxu, couldn't let someone slap you so hard that you got swollen, right?

Seeing that there was nothing fun to watch, Li Ming walked back home, preparing to soak his feet and rest early in the evening.

Anyway, he had nothing to do all day during the holidays, and except for collecting money and selling grain at a fixed time every month, his life was so happy!

Especially since the Chinese New Year is approaching, the prices of pigeon food and meat in the market have risen again, so you can make more money!

Chapter 140: Against the Deaf Old Man

He Yuzhu chased Xu Damao outside for a while, but he didn't even catch Xu Damao's tail gas. He walked back dejectedly. On the way, he happened to meet Yi Zhonghai who was coming back with a smile on his face.

"Pillar! Where are you going?"

He Yuzhu turned his head and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai. He then smiled and walked towards him happily.

Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu approaching, glanced at him, and saw the big bump on his head. He asked in confusion, "Zhuzi, where did you put this big bump?"

He Yuzhu shook his head. "Oh, don't mention it. This morning I said a few words to my neighbor across the street, and Jia Zhang chased me around and beat me up!"

"Can't you be a little more honest? Why do you have to get close to Qin Huairu? Didn't I just find a photo for you from outside?"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but kick He Yuzhu in the butt. He Yuzhu looked surprised and said, "Uncle, you are not in the courtyard today. You went out to find a blind date for me?"

"What else? Tell me, how are you going to meet a girl with a head full of lumps?"

Yi Zhonghai took a look at this useless thing and spoke unhappily.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll apply a towel to it tonight, and I won't embarrass you tomorrow!"

He Yuzhu scratched his head subconsciously and smiled foolishly, but accidentally scratched the big bump on his head and grimaced in pain.

"Okay, take care of yourself tomorrow. The girl will come over at noon tomorrow. Can we have lunch at your place at noon?"

He Yuzhu patted his chest and said, "Uncle, look at what you said. As a cook, am I afraid of people eating for free? Just leave it to me tomorrow!"

"Okay, don't embarrass me tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, that's absolutely impossible!" He Yuzhu patted his chest and guaranteed it.

The two of them were chatting about tomorrow's blind date as they passed by Li's house. No one deliberately lowered their voices, so Li Ming, who was sitting inside by the stove to keep warm, heard everything clearly.
