The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Xu Damao looked at Li Ming with a helpless expression, "You saw it too, right? I told you, your brother has made a great sacrifice today!"

Li Ming patted Xu Damao's shoulder comfortingly and handed a cigarette to the heartbroken child, "Brother Damao, you have been wronged today!"

"If I had known that Yi Zhonghai had found a blind date like this for He Yuzhu, we wouldn't have to do anything! We could just wait and watch the show."

"Let's find a place to wait for the results?" Li Ming asked Xu Damao for his opinion.

Xu Damao nodded, followed Li Ming back to the front yard, brought out two stools, and sat in the corridor looking at the He family's gate from afar.

In the middle courtyard, the He family.

After He Yuzhu invited the person into the house, he politely poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

"Ms. Liu Cui, let me introduce myself first." He Yuzhu's thoughts were simple, since he was already here, he might as well deal with it first.

Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head and said, "You don't need to introduce yourself. I know your situation."

Miss Liu Cui was straightforward and spoke directly. "I used to be a cook at the steel mill, but now I'm assigned to sweep the floor. My father also works at the steel mill, so I naturally know something about you."

He Yuzhu laughed and didn't say anything else. The girl knew a lot and there was no point in saying more. They could just have lunch at noon and then it would be over.

Liu Cui smiled and looked at He Yuzhu, "Let me put it this way, I like you, if you agree, we can get married tomorrow."

"I don't mind you sweeping the toilets now. After all, with your abilities, it should be no problem for you to be transferred back to the cafeteria."

He Yuzhu laughed out loud and lit a cigarette for himself, "Miss Liu Cui, I don't like you, but don't you look at yourself? If you are free, we can have lunch together at noon."

Liu Cui's face turned cold. She was able to come today because her family told her that He Yuzhu was a good craftsman and she would not suffer any loss if she married him. Moreover, her father had a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai and it was said that Yi Zhonghai had informed her in advance. That was why she came.

At this point, He Yuzhu was no longer interested in continuing the conversation with the woman opposite him. "You didn't even tell me about your situation, but you came up to me and told me about getting a marriage certificate. I can't agree to this!"

"And to be honest, I don't like your looks. Let's just part ways in peace."

Liu Cui was furious and slammed her fist on the table, "Didn't Yi Zhonghai tell you?"

He Yuzhu glanced at the place where Yi Zhonghai was just now, and now he had left, saying that it was to give the two of them a space to chat.

"No." He Yuzhu shook his head. "Don't slam our table. If you are angry, go find someone else. It's not appropriate to find me."

"Hmph!" Liu Cui snorted coldly, took big strides, opened the door and walked out.

The people who had been standing outside waiting to watch the show could no longer suppress their curiosity when they saw the two of them looking like this.

Li Ming and Xu Damao saw the girl coming out of He Yuzhu's house angrily and they immediately knew what was going on. They smiled and walked back into the house. They had to avoid her, right?

Front yard, Li's house.

"Mingzi, do you think this idiot Zhu will go find Yi Zhonghai?"

Li Ming nodded. "Don't think that this silly Zhu is not very smart and speaks very aggressively, but when it comes to blind dates, he definitely likes pretty ones. Apart from other things, the one that Yi Zhonghai introduced today is not pretty at all!"

Li Ming pointed at the girl who was walking with a breeze, "Brother Damao, look at the posture of this girl coming out of the house. It must be that Sha Zhu's dog mouth offended someone again, otherwise he would be so angry!"

Xu Damao looked at the girl's figure and said, "Indeed, if He Yuzhu really gets together with this girl, who knows who will get beaten when they fight in the future!"

"Of course not. Don't worry, brothers. I think He Yuzhu will have to go find Yi Zhonghai soon."

Li Ming continued with a smile.

"But I feel that the two of them won't be able to fight each other. The most that idiot Sha Zhu can do is to say a few words loudly. I guess that Sha Zhu might be able to become Yi Zhonghai's biological father in the future!"

Chapter 145 He Yuzhu: I brainwash myself!

[Ding, the host ruined He Yuzhu's blind date, and is rewarded with 10 Big Black Tens, 1 fishing lottery draw, and 1 Shandong Cuisine Minor Mastery Experience Pack. ]

[Ding, host, do you want to settle the account? ]

"If you don't want to settle it, keep it. I'm hoping to get more money from this stupid guy."

Li Ming looked at the system rewards that had already arrived in his account and immediately felt that today was worth it. Although he did not put in much effort today, basically with Yi Zhonghai's own abilities, He Yuzhu would not have been able to succeed in the blind date.

But this is a free ride! What else can make people happy? It must be a free ride!

Noon, front yard, Li’s house.

Li Ming and his sister quickly finished their lunch today, and the two siblings prepared to take a stroll in the central courtyard to see if they could see some excitement today.

Ever since Li Rui came back at noon and heard what Li Ming said, the little girl's curiosity has never subsided.

"Brother, shall we go now?"

Li Rui quickly finished her lunch and looked at her brother.

Li Ming shook his head. "No, we can't go directly to the middle courtyard. It would be even worse if they saw us. We have to move chairs to the corridor. Although it's a bit far, it won't affect their discussion."

Li Rui gave her brother a thumbs up, then took two small stools and sat directly at the door, occasionally glancing towards the central courtyard.

Li Ming followed after finishing his meal. "I think He Yuzhu is quite patient. I originally thought that this idiot would go find Yi Zhonghai after the girl left, but I didn't expect that he could endure until now and not show up."

"Shh~~~"

Before she finished speaking, Li Rui raised her middle finger to her lips and said, "Brother, Shazhu is gone, hehe."

"Can we make it here?"

"Don't worry about it. After He Yuzhu goes in, we can go to the middle courtyard. We will definitely be able to hear more clearly at the Chuihua Gate than here."

The brother and sister saw He Yuzhu enter Yi Zhonghai's house, and then they calmly walked towards the hanging flower gate in the backyard.

. . . . . .

In the middle courtyard, the Yi family.

He Yuzhu came in with a gloomy face. When Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu's expression, he knew that today's matter was over.

It wasn't really He Yuzhu's fault. It was mainly because Yi Zhonghai's intentions were too obvious, which resulted in He Yuzhu not taking the bait at all, and instead causing such a mess.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming in with a dark face, Yi Zhonghai was a man who could let go of things easily, so he apologized to He Yuzhu directly.

"Zhu Zi, I'm sorry, I didn't do it well today, I want to apologize to you first!"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he really bowed, which made He Yuzhu calm down a lot. He Yuzhu was about to speak when he was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

"This time it's mainly because I'm anxious, so I'm thinking of finding someone who knows you well to introduce you to someone. Regardless of whether it works out or not, you two should talk first. I really didn't expect the girl from the Liu family to be like this!"

Yi Zhonghai slapped his thigh and sighed.

Only He Yuzhu believed it. Anyone with a brain would ignore what Yi Zhonghai said.

He Yuzhu quickly helped Yi Zhonghai sit down, "Well, it's all over, uncle, please don't talk about it anymore!"

"You're doing this for my own good, right? Next time we look for it, just give it a try for me."

He Yuzhu smiled and handed Yi Zhonghai a cigarette. Yi Zhonghai hadn't even started brainwashing He Yuzhu yet, but this idiot had already started brainwashing himself.

Yi Zhonghai felt relieved, but he made up his mind not to make such a simple mistake again next time.

Otherwise, even if He Yuzhu is a fool, he can't keep fooling people in the same way, right?

"Zhu Zi, don't worry! It will be fine if you leave this matter to an old man!"

Yi Zhonghai patted his chest and began to make guarantees.

Li Ming and Li Rui who were eavesdropping outside, as well as Xu Damao who joined later, were all confused by what they heard. Damn, they have never seen something that can brainwash oneself!

It turns out that there is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname! Especially since this nickname was given to He Yuzhu by his biological father!

"Okay, Mingzi, there's nothing exciting to watch, let's leave!" Xu Damao said to Li Ming in disappointment.

The brother and sister nodded in agreement. Sister Li Rui went home to play by herself, while Li Ming and his brother strolled out from the front yard and went directly to the alley opposite the courtyard.

Now I always feel that this alley has become their base. This time, the two of them didn’t say anything, and they walked into the alley in tacit understanding.

"I heard that Yi Zhonghai wanted to find a blind date for Sha Zhu?"

Li Ming lit a cigarette for himself and then handed one to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao took the cigarette and lit it, then patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, your brother Damao promises! No matter how many girls Yi Zhonghai introduces to Sha Zhu, I will help him find them all!"

"It just so happens that your brother Damao still doesn't have a wife. If Yi Zhonghai introduces a good-looking girl to you, I will just take her!"

Li Ming laughed. You dare to accept the girl introduced by Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao? "Sure, when the time comes, Brother Damao, you can give Yi Zhonghai some matchmaking fees, which will make them both mad to death!"

"Of course I will. I just hope that the ones I introduce next time won't be the same as this warrior!"

The weather was cold and Xu Damao felt a little weak. He started stamping his feet in the cold after being outside for just a short while.

"Otherwise, if I go through this a few more times, I'll scare myself to death!"

Xu Damao kept complaining about what happened today. Li Ming could see that today's incident had left some trauma on Xu Damao.

If he hadn't been counting on Xu Damao to take the lead, Li Ming wouldn't have bothered to listen to him.

"Don't worry, if he behaves like this again next time, even if He Yuzhu is a fool, he will have to fight with Yi Zhonghai."

"And I don't think Yi Zhonghai is that stupid! He won't use the same trick again."

Li Ming doesn’t think that the final boss in Courtyard Love is a fool. If he, Yi Zhonghai, is a fool, wouldn’t everyone else be fools?

"That's right, Mingzi! Since there's no problem, let's go back. It's a bit too cold outside."

Xu Damao continued to stamp his feet. He really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Okay, let's go back. Brother Damao, go back and warm up the stove. If I hear that He Yuzhu is still going on blind dates, I'll come find you right away!"

Xu Damao was quite satisfied with Li Ming's performance. He patted Li Ming on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then you just wait for your brother Damao to deal with them. Haha!"

Chapter 146 Food Arrangements During the Chinese New Year

In the afternoon, in the front yard of the Li family.

Sister Li Rui had just shared with Mr. and Mrs. Li, who had just returned from shopping, about He Yuzhu's blind date in the courtyard today, and she also told them about how He Yuzhu had brainwashed himself.

"Look at me, I told you this idiot is really stupid!"

Father Li smacked his lips, looking as if he was a little regretful for not being able to see the big show in the courtyard today.

Mother Li rolled her eyes at Comrade Li Weiguo and said, "When did you say that? I haven't heard of it."

"Why do you care about so many details?"

Father Li was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "I have noticed that things are becoming increasingly difficult to buy nowadays."

"Today, your mom and I waited in line for a long time to buy two bars of soap. Before, not many people bought this stuff."

Comrade Li Weiguo held a few bars of soap in his hand and placed them on the sink, muttering. Although his ability to change the subject was a bit awkward, it was undoubtedly quite effective.

At least the Queen Mother of the Li family agrees.

Li Ming took a look and saw "Youth Brand Soap", a very famous style these days. Most importantly, it was affordable and very suitable for mass consumption.

However, not many people use this thing now. You have to queue up even to buy a bar of soap in the department store. I guess it’s because of food shortage.

I have to go to Wang Da and Wang Er tonight. Although it's not time to collect the money yet, I still have to go and ask about it. After all, next year is the first year, and I'm still a little worried.

It would be great if their business could have more big clients. I wonder if these three have met any wealthy "old and young people."

"It has nothing to do with our family. At least the things we have stored at home are probably the largest in the courtyard."

Li's mother said with a smile that fortunately their family had started preparations a long time ago, and Li Ming would bring back some unexpected surprises from time to time, so if the Li family's stored food was eaten sparingly, it would last until the end of next year.

Therefore, the only families in the Siheyuan who don’t have to worry about food are the Li family in the front courtyard and the He family in the middle courtyard.

He Yuzhu is a bastard. The cook won't starve to death in a famine. At worst, he can just go to the steel mill. As long as no one finds out, that's fine.

But now Sha Zhu has been targeted by Li Ming for a long time. When there is a famine next year, he will find an opportunity to give He Yuzhu, the idiot, a good beating.

. . . . . .

After dinner, the four members of the Li family sat on chairs to digest the food, each holding a cup of hot water. Li's father also threw in some shaved ice. This life was really good.

Li Ming rubbed his stomach and said, "Mom, I'm going to go out for a walk to help digest the food."

Mother Li had no doubt about this and waved her hand, "Go ahead, and be careful on the road."

This has become a habit for their son. When he is full, he goes out for a walk. No one in the Li family has ever suspected it.

Li Ming obviously ate too much at the dinner table just now, so it is normal for him to go out for a walk now!

Comrade Li Ming got the Queen Mother's consent and slowly stood up from the chair and walked outside. Now being able to eat a lot is also a kind of happiness, isn't it?

Although Li Ming has a strong physique, the feeling of being full has long disappeared, but he still has to pretend!
