The strong fisherman in the courtyard

"Really? Well, that's it. I look forward to this all year round!"

Li Ming took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to Yan Fugui. "We don't have much of this material this year, only about ten kinds. It would be great if the harvest is better next year."

With a "sizzle", Li Ming struck a match, lit it for himself and took a delicious sip.

Yan Fugui, who was standing next to him, felt much better after hearing that he had received a cigarette from Li Ming today. However, he did not expect that the following sentence made Yan Laoxier feel the gap between people again.

Chapter 157 Li Ming notifies Xu Damao

Yan Fugui smiled rather awkwardly, and did not say anything else, but just nodded in agreement.

"Hey, by the way, Third Uncle, didn't you say you were going to introduce a girl to Brother Jie Cheng? What's the situation now?"

Li Ming did not forget what he had done before to instigate Yan Fugui. He planned to see when the eldest son of the Yan family would get married. After all, this was not mentioned in the original plot.

What's more, he was still thinking about ruining this family's arranged marriage.

Yan Fugui took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "I have considered it before, but this year's harvest is not good! I am also afraid that next year's harvest will be the same. It is better to put this matter aside for now."

"Well, that's what you said. If it doesn't work, just wait. It's not time to rush anyway."

The two people, one big and one small, were chatting casually under the sun. After all, everything they did was to kill time. This was also good. At least they could have someone to chat with and kill time together.

After lunch in the afternoon, Li Ming came out to continue basking in the sun. Not long after, he saw Yi Zhonghai walking out in a hurry, which gave Li Ming a startle.

Ever since Li Ming slapped Yi Zhonghai twice last time, the contact between the two families has become dispensable. But that's also good as it saves a lot of useless social interactions.

At this moment, when Li Ming saw Yi Zhonghai hurriedly going out, he subconsciously thought whether this old man was planning to introduce a blind date to He Yuzhu again.

He rolled his eyes and said, "No, I have to go and tell Xu Damao first, at least I can be prepared. If it doesn't work, I can ask Xu Damao to go to Yi Zhonghai's house to eavesdrop tonight. It's better than having no preparation at all."

Backyard, Xu family.

"Brother Damao!" Li Ming just happened to see Xu Damao staggering out of the house and greeted him directly.

Last night, the Xu family also came to prepare Laba porridge for Laba Festival, but Xu's mother was not at home, so the two men in the family did it. They were not good at it to begin with, and they didn't get to prepare it until dawn before they could have a sip of Laba porridge.

At this moment, Xu Damao had just woken up from a short nap.

"Hey, Mingzi? Why are you here?"

Li Ming saw Xu Damao, who was not very sober, and handed him a cigarette. He waited until Xu Damao recovered before continuing to speak, "I just saw Yi Zhonghai hurried out. I guess he was going to introduce a blind date to Sha Zhu again."

"But I can't decide, so I came to you for help and advice."

When Xu Damao heard that he could cause trouble for He Yuzhu, he immediately became more cheerful.

"Hey, brother, why bother with this? We can just keep an eye on it. Even if we miss once, we can't let it become a fool!"

Seeing Xu Damao taking so much trouble to consider He Yuzhu, Li Ming was so upset that he cried. It was really great that Shazhu had such a mortal enemy who tried so hard to ruin his marriage. He Yuzhu's life was not lived in vain.

"Mingzi, you should stay in the front yard and keep an eye on them. You just had a fight with Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu a few days ago, so it's not appropriate for you to go to the middle yard and watch them now."

"Leave the situation in the Central Court to you, Brother Damao. If I can confirm it, I will definitely look for you. Then we can discuss it and try to make this idiot Zhu return empty-handed again this time!"

Wow, when it comes to dealing with He Yuzhu, Xu Damao has made a very clear explanation and has considered all the factors thoroughly. Li Ming almost couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Okay, Brother Damao, I'll listen to you then!"

Xu Damao put his arm around Li Ming's shoulders with a sly smile on his face, "Yeah, that's right! When it comes to fighting, your brother Damao is indeed not as good as you, but when it comes to this aspect~~~~~~you know."

"No problem, no problem. The last time Yi Zhonghai found a partner for He Yuzhu, he was not happy with it. I feel that Yi Zhonghai will definitely not find someone like Zhu Bajie's Second Aunt this time. Maybe she will be a pretty girl."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he smiled like a fly rubbing his hands, "If this is really a good-looking person, maybe you, Damao, will have to thank Yi Zhonghai!"

The two looked at each other and were both very satisfied. Then they separated when they arrived at the Intermediate Court and began to act according to the method Xu Damao had just proposed.

As I said, since he has nothing to do, Xu Damao has already tried every possible means to disgust He Yuzhu. Comrade Li Ming is naturally also very concerned about his own system reward!

. . . . . .

It was not until the Li family finished their meal that Li Ming, imitating Jia Zhang's skill of peeping through the window in the original play, discovered that Yi Zhonghai walked in from outside with a smile on his face.

Li Ming did not walk out slowly until Yi Zhonghai disappeared in the front yard. He happened to see Yi Zhonghai going straight into the He family through the corridor without even going back to his own home. He felt relieved. It seemed that Yi Zhonghai's other "adopted son" was also very concerned about finding a blind date.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the Intermediate Court, Li Ming guessed that Xu Damao had gone home for dinner, and hurried to the backyard. This kind of thing must be reported to Xu Damao, and since Xu Damao didn't get the chance, it was only Comrade Li Ming who had to take the trouble to notify him.

However, for He Yuzhu's "happiness", Li Ming is not afraid of hard work.

Backyard, Xu family.

Xu Damao hurried out as soon as he finished his meal. After all, he didn't get any useful information in the whole afternoon, and he was quite anxious now.

Afraid of missing something while he was eating, Li Ming was about to knock on the door as soon as he opened it.

"Mingzi? What are you doing?"

Li Ming nodded. "No problem. It has been confirmed. I just saw Yi Zhonghai come back. After he came back, he went directly to He Yuzhu's house and has not come out yet."

"I guess this is just to introduce a blind date to Sha Zhu."

Xu Damao was overjoyed. It was only reliable for two people to do this kind of thing! He quickly handed Li Ming a cigarette and lit it for him. "Mingzi, you have worked hard. Now that it has been confirmed, I estimate that it will only happen in the next two days."

"Starting tomorrow, I will get up early every day, hehe, and try to get a place to stay as soon as possible!"

There is nothing to say. When Xu Damao does this kind of thing, he is simply the epitome of reliability. Just trust him and everything will be fine!

"Brother Damao, just give me a call when you need my help!" Li Ming did not forget to say this polite remark. After all, it is something that does not cost money and is a great benefit.

Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, brother. We'll just have to wait and see what happens!"

Chapter 158 He Yuzhu's Blind Date

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news, Brother Damao. Maybe it can be done tomorrow." Li Ming agreed with a smile.

"That's great! It will save me a lot of trouble."

Xu Damao and Li Ming chatted with each other for a long time before they dispersed and went home.

At the same time, the He family of the Intermediate Court.

"Brother, is this old man planning to introduce you to a blind date?"

He Yushui watched the whole process, but it was the first time he saw Yi Zhonghai planning to introduce a girl to his silly brother.

He Yuzhu took a sip of the remaining herbal tea and said, "That's right. I introduced her to you once before, but I didn't like that girl last time. So, you found me another one today."

"That's fine. After all, you are old enough."

He Yushui didn't mind her silly brother getting married. After all, he was so silly, and it would be a good thing if he could have a sister-in-law to take care of him after marriage.

"When are we meeting? I'll leave early to give you some space."

He Yuzhu groaned, "How can I ask you to go out specially? I didn't say that, did I?"

"We'll meet tomorrow. The New Year is coming soon. I'm thinking that if the situation is right, we can just do it between the New Year and the New Year."

"I really have something to do tomorrow. Please tell me about it when I get back."

He Yushui's situation hasn't developed to the point in the original plot yet. She is more or less thinking about her silly brother. It would be nice for her to go out for a stroll and some shopping tomorrow.

"Okay." He Yuzhu felt much better when he saw that his sister was so reasonable. At least the depression from being beaten before was washed away by the happy event of Yi Zhonghai introducing a blind date to him.

After that, he took out a five-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to He Yushui, "It's almost the New Year, see if you have anything to buy and go shopping by yourself."

"It's not appropriate for me, a grown man."

He Yushui took the money handed over by He Yuzhu with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Thank you, my silly brother!"

"Hey, this little girl." He Yuzhu shook his head and cursed with a smile as he looked at He Yushui who ran away after calling him "silly brother".

The next day.

It was still early in the morning. Today, Li Ming, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu all got up early without any prior arrangement.

The only difference was that Xu Damao went out in his formal attire, Li Ming was waiting in the front yard to bask in the sun and watch a good show, and He Yuzhu started to dress herself up at home like a grown-up girl.

Outside the yard, Xu Damao, wearing the same outfit as last time and with a short flat haircut that he had just had a few days ago, walked out of the yard. At this moment, he was squatting at the entrance of the alley opposite the courtyard.

There was no way. Not knowing what He Yuzhu’s blind date looked like, every time Xu Damao saw a strange woman looking into the courtyard, he would immediately follow her and strike up a conversation.

It was not until after ten o'clock in the morning that Xu Damao finally caught the real culprit. However, Xu Damao only looked at the back and did not see the girl's face before rushing up.

After all, the girl's figure looked really good from behind. Even the cotton-padded jacket she wore in the middle of winter couldn't cover her plump figure. She was thin where she should be thin, and fat where she should be fat, which made Xu Damao dazzled.

"Girl, are you here to go on a blind date with Sha Zhu from our courtyard today?"

Xu Damao's voice sounded behind the girl. The girl turned her head, which was exactly what Xu Damao wanted. Li Ming had told him yesterday that if Yi Zhonghai introduced a date to He Yuzhu again today, it would definitely not be Zhu Bajie's Second Aunt.

As a result, what the boy said came true today. The girl was not very pretty, but with her figure, she was first-rate.

"Yes, I'm here today to talk to He Yuzhu about a blind date. Who are you?"

Xu Damao finally came to his senses. "Oh, I'm from this hospital too. Yesterday I heard that Sha Zhu from our hospital was going on a blind date today, so I thought of coming out to take a look. After all, to be honest, Sha Zhu from our hospital is not a very good person."

I have to admit that Xu Damao's strategy was very lame, but at least it was quite effective in this era. After all, he was stupid whether he opened his mouth or closed it, but the girl on the opposite side was not stupid and she had already understood what he meant.

Originally, the girl was not very willing to come for a blind date. Her parents both work in a steel mill. Her father works in the logistics department and her mother works in the steel mill hospital. These conditions are quite good.

But this year, an acquaintance of my father came to their house and kept mumbling about blind dates for a long time, describing the man as the only one in the world.

This made her parents interested. Of course, the most important thing was that the man had a skill. In this era, having a skill was quite popular.

Although they knew that He Yuzhu had been punished at the steel mill, they could not help but hear acquaintances say that he was wrongly accused. The most important thing was that he could return to the kitchen after the New Year.

Especially since she is a cook. Even though being a cook doesn't have much future, she is a cook in a steel rolling mill. But isn't this a bad year? Although their family conditions are good, she still has three younger brothers.

As the saying goes, a cook will never starve to death in years of famine, so considering the factors mentioned above, the girl had to make this trip today.

As a result, things took a turn for the better before they even entered the door. Seeing this, the girl was no longer in a hurry. She didn't have a good impression of the man in front of her. After all, a man who starts talking bad about others behind their backs is not necessarily an upright man, right?

But seeing that the opportunity was right in front of her, the girl didn't mind communicating with Xu Damao on the opposite side.

The girl smiled and said, "My name is Li Ping, Ping means we met by chance."

Xu Damao took a look and was delighted when the girl opposite him started to introduce herself to him. He thought that maybe he, Xu Damao, could have a chance to win her heart today!

"Hello, Comrade Li Ping, my name is Xu Damao."

"Then, Comrade Xu Damao, would you mind giving me a detailed introduction to He Yuzhu in your hospital, oh, that is, this silly Zhu?"

"It's convenient, of course it's very convenient!" Xu Damao lit a cigarette in a posture that he thought was very handsome, took a puff slowly, and then looked at Li Ping again, "But we can't say no here?"

"Comrade Li Ping, are you free? If you are, I'd like to treat you to a meal of mutton hotpot at Donglaishun at noon today."

Li Ping really didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. After all, her family hadn't eaten meat for a while, so she agreed immediately.

Chapter 159 Xu Damao's Second Annoyance

Look, apart from other things, Xu Damao is very willing to spend a lot of money when it comes to dating and picking up girls! No wonder Xu Damao was able to dig holes in He Yuzhu's corner every time in the original plot.

In the end, with the cooperation of the old deaf man, he bullied the only honest girl in the courtyard. She was the only one left by He Yuzhu.

Of course, now that Li Ming is here, this incident will no longer happen. As for Lou Xiao'e, she should still be living a comfortable life with her parents.

In the middle courtyard, the He family.

He Yuzhu saw that the time had already reached 11 o'clock, and he couldn't help it! Although the blind date introduced last time was a little ugly and a little strong, the problem was here!

But today it's 11 o'clock and the person on the other side hasn't shown up yet. What does that mean? Is it not worth it for He Yuzhu to make the trip? Or does He Yuzhu deserve that every blind date will fail?

Unable to contain himself, He Yuzhu got up and headed straight for Yi Zhonghai's house. However, before he even arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house, he ran into Yi Zhonghai coming out.

"Zhu Zi, why are you here? Where is your blind date?"

He Yuzhu looked helpless, "Blind date? You ask me? I want to ask you something else!"

He Yuzhu slapped his thigh. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes in winter, so he didn't feel much pain. "No matter how pretty or ugly the girl you introduced to me last time was, she came anyway. Look at this one. It's already 11 o'clock and there's no one here! Didn't I plan to come over to ask you?"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned very ugly when he heard the news. He didn't expect to be stood up. Although he did stay at Li Ping's house for an entire afternoon and talked for most of the day, didn't she agree in the end?

I didn't expect that this would happen on the day of the blind date! Although Yi Zhonghai didn't expect He Yuzhu's blind date to be successful, it was still a performance of his best efforts.

After He Yuzhu's blind date failed this time, Yi Zhonghai could still find an excuse to introduce a girl who meets his requirements next time, not good-looking, but with a decent figure, and most importantly, obedient and easy to control! Wouldn't that be a good idea?

But he never expected that he would fail at this step!

However, Yi Zhonghai was also an old hand. He remained calm and gave He Yuzhu a reassuring smile, "Wait a little longer, in case something happens to the girl!"

Yi Zhonghai patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said, "I, your uncle, have found a girl with good conditions for you this time. Her figure and appearance are definitely this one!"

The old man gave a thumbs up, and He Yuzhu understood immediately. Only then was he calmed down by Yi Zhonghai, and He Yuzhu returned to his home, sat on a chair, lit a cigarette and continued to wait.
