The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Mother Li almost laughed out the food in her mouth, raised her hand and slapped her son, "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Li Rui was watching with great joy, "With Xu Damao helping to promote it, I feel like everyone in our hospital will know about it before the evening!"

"Yes, Ruirui is right!"

Li Ming gave a thumbs up, and the Li family’s lunch was spent in this happy process. No matter whether others were happy or not, as long as they were happy!

. . . . . .

Second bedroom.

"System, let me see the prompt first."

[Ding, the host ruined He Yuzhu's blind date, and is rewarded with 20 Big Black Tens, 1 fishing lottery draw, and 1 Antique Appraisal Skill Minor Proficiency Experience Pack.]

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

Li Ming pondered for a while, "Let's not settle the account yet. I saw that He Yuzhu got married before the Chinese New Year. I'll wait a little longer. If this bastard continues to go on blind dates, I can accumulate a few more times. By then, the chances of getting something good will be much greater."

After checking his gains, Li Ming prepared to take a good nap. Recently, he had been thinking about He Yuzhu's blind date, and his sleep had been delayed a lot.

Now He Yuzhu's blind date has failed again. Compared to the last two days, he has finally calmed down and is able to recuperate for the next time!

In the middle courtyard, the He family.

Yi Zhonghai found his second candidate for retirement with a bitter smile on his face. In fact, when he saw He Yuzhu's unhappy expression, his heart skipped a beat.

He realized that he had gone a bit too far this time. Mainly because he had advanced the money to He Yuzhu last time, Master Yi was a little too proud, and He Yuzhu's request was only half completed. Now he, Yi Zhonghai, had to swallow the consequences himself.

But this is not a big deal. The only thing he is afraid of is that He Yuzhu will not let Yi Zhonghai get involved in this matter in the future. By then, the goodwill he has accumulated with great difficulty will be easily lost!

"This, the pillar, ah!"

Yi Zhonghai still had a little bit of conscience, but it was not much. "I was just interested in the girl's appearance and family background, but I didn't expect that the lies she gave me were so outrageous."

"I just showed you the headshot. I'm a little confused about the figure!"

At this point, Yi Zhonghai once again used his tried and tested method of shifting the blame. In the face of the prestige that Yi Zhonghai had built up in He Yuzhu's heart, this trick still worked as well as ever!

He Yuzhu also sighed upon hearing this, "Alright, uncle, you have done your best, so let's just leave it at that for this year."

He Yuzhu lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. "I'm not too old now, so I can talk about blind dates after the New Year."

Yi Zhonghai was relieved to see that He Yuzhu didn't take the matter to heart. Although he was still thinking about introducing a blind date to He Yuzhu, he also understood that now was not a good time to bring up the matter again.

He nodded immediately and changed the topic, "By the way, Zhuzi, let's celebrate the New Year together this year!"

"That's for sure. Didn't you say that before?" He Yuzhu laughed cheerfully. Yi Zhonghai's ability to change the subject might not be very good, but what was rare was that He Yuzhu was good at picking up the topic. The atmosphere now seemed to be much calmer.

"That's fine. I'll take the deaf old lady over as well, and we can have a lively New Year's Eve together!"

"Okay, I'll be responsible for cooking for us then!"

"Haha, I'm counting on you, the great chef!"

Chapter 177 Xu Damao: I stood up!

backyard.

Xu Damao has already publicized He Yuzhu's case door to door, and now he is just waiting for everyone in the courtyard to know about it. The enthusiastic neighbors did not disappoint Xu Damao's expectations, and one by one they went out for a walk after lunch.

After all, it's vacation time now and everyone has nothing to do. If you finally get a piece of gossip, you naturally want to share it with your relatives and friends, right?

By then, let alone their courtyard, it would only take one afternoon for the news of He Yuzhu's blind date to be reported to the street office without any problem.

When it comes to spreading gossip, you can trust the neighbors of the Siheyuan; they will not disappoint you.

. . . . . .

In the afternoon, in the courtyard of the steel rolling mill, the middle yard, the He family.

When He Yushui came back, he told He Yuzhu what he had heard outside. Note that He Yushui came back from a classmate's house. Just look at how quickly the news spread!

He Yuzhu was furious. This was not a good thing in the first place, and he and Yi Zhonghai even went to Beihai Park. Wow, the confidentiality was not as good as a blind date in a courtyard house.

At least a blind date in a courtyard wouldn't spread to other streets! Now, He Yuzhu has become famous again!

After the last blind date went wrong, He Yuzhu subconsciously thought of Xu Damao. His intuition told him that today's incident must be related to Xu Damao.

After walking to the door and taking clothes from the hanger, He Yuzhu went straight to the backyard.

Backyard, Xu family.

Xu Damao had just finished his meal and was strolling in the yard. In fact, his reason for strolling out was very simple. He just wanted to see how the embarrassing incident of He Yuzhu that he had spread from his mouth in the afternoon had developed.

The result certainly did not disappoint Xu Damao. Almost everyone in the backyard was talking about this topic.

"Idiot! Did you spread the news that I was going on a blind date today?"

He Yuzhu's angry voice rang out in the backyard. After hearing it, the neighbors who were discussing gossip became as quiet as quails and just stared at He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

This time Xu Damao did not plan to hide the matter, otherwise he would have been covert when spreading gossip in the afternoon. But now Xu Damao is not afraid at all!

As long as He Yuzhu doesn't intend to take out another three hundred yuan, Xu Damao is not afraid!

Xu Damao nodded very proudly, "That's right, Silly Zhu, that's what your grandfather said!"

"I, your grandpa, went for a walk in Beihai Park this morning, and happened to see Yi Zhonghai taking you to chat with your blind date at the park entrance!"

At this moment, Xu Damao completely ignored He Yuzhu's gaze that seemed to be choosing someone, and the main focus was on sincerity!

"I think your blind date is pretty good-looking! Could it be that you, silly Zhu, are not interested in her physique?"

Xu Damao became happier as he spoke. If there was anything that would make him, Xu Damao, happier than seeing He Yuzhu suffer a setback, it was undoubtedly now!

Just tell He Yuzhu's embarrassing story again in front of him!

When the neighbors saw Xu Damao so bravely spoke up about He Yuzhu again, they couldn't help themselves.

The sound of laughter spread out from the backyard, and even the neighbors in the middle yard and the front yard began to gather in the backyard.

Xu Fugui from the Xu family and Xu's mother were afraid that their eldest son would suffer, so they came out with things in their hands and watched.

When He Yuzhu saw this scene, his clenched fists made a creaking sound, and Xu Damao's eyelids jumped.

"Silly Zhu, let me tell you! What I said is all true! Even if I'm not here today, you can't hide this!"

Xu Damao strategically took two steps back, and suddenly saw Li Ming's figure in the crowd. His back unconsciously straightened up again.

"And you better think about it. If you hit me, I'll give you a simple answer, but the amount won't be the same when the time comes!"

Xu Damao stretched out three fingers in a mean manner. Those who knew the meaning of these three fingers would naturally understand.

At least now Yi Zhonghai's face was dark, and He Yuzhu's clenched fists slowly loosened.

"Just wait, you idiot! This matter is not over yet!"

Xu Damao is not afraid of He Yuzhu's threats. In Xu Damao's impression, He Yuzhu has threatened him more times than the number of times he has gone to the toilet in the past twenty years!

If Xu Damao was afraid of He Yuzhu's threat, then he would not be Xu Damao!

"Silly Zhu, you threatened me in front of so many people. If anything happens to me in the future, it will definitely be your fault!"

After Xu Damao said this, the old couple of the Xu family looked at each other with satisfaction, as if they were feeling that their son had grown up.

Could it be that Xu Damao became wiser after being beaten by He Yuzhu last time?

This thought lingered in the minds of the two elders of the Xu family.

Li Ming was also very happy when he heard this. This Xu Damao was at least much smarter this time! He saw a trace of panic from He Yuzhu's back as he turned around and left without any nostalgia!

Seeing that the show was not going to go on any more, the onlookers dispersed. Many of them had expressions of being unsatisfied, but some also found highlights in the process!

I started to find someone to listen to what Xu Damao meant by the three fingers he raised towards He Yuzhu.

Seeing this, Li Ming did not leave. Instead, he walked up to Xu Damao and handed him a cigarette.

"Brother Damao, you must show off today!"

Comrade Li Ming sent a blessing, which made Xu Damao, who was already very happy, laugh out loud. If Xu Damao remembered correctly, this should be the first time he had taken advantage of He Yuzhu in more than 20 years!

"Hehe, Mingzi, you looked so handsome when you beat up He Yuzhu!"

Listening to the two children praising each other, Mr. and Mrs. Xu smiled, shook their heads, and turned back to Xu's house, leaving the two children chatting in the yard.

"But Brother Damao, you really have to be careful with that bastard Shazhu!"

Li Ming remembered it very clearly. In the original plot, He Yuzhu used a lot of dirty tricks to take revenge on Xu Damao!

Xu Damao nodded, but Li Ming could see that the guy didn't take the matter seriously, but he was too lazy to remind him again.

Once Xu Damao suffered a loss in this regard, he would naturally understand.

By then, the relationship between Xu Damao and He Yuzhu will only get worse and worse. As long as Xu Damao continues to target He Yuzhu, he, Xu Damao, will be a qualified tool for Li Ming!

Chapter 178 Settlement Tasks, System Upgraded Again

It had been a while since Xu Damao ruined He Yuzhu's blind date, and in the blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve.

. . . . . .

"System, settle He Yuzhu's task."

After breakfast on the 30th of the lunar year, Li Mingtian brought a stool to the yard, settled the task reward for He Yuzhu first, and then went back to the house to help.

The Li family has a lot of work to do for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner. As for other families, I'm not sure, but it seems like they are all very busy today.

[Ding, received the host's request, settlement in progress.]

Seeing that the steel rolling mill was about to start operation, the unlucky He Yuzhu would not go on blind dates anymore. Li Ming could only complete this limited-time task with a lingering feeling.

"It's all this stupid Zhu's fault. He's so useless!"

While Li Ming was waiting for the system to settle the account, he looked towards the central courtyard. He Yuzhu was grinning foolishly as he started to prepare the ingredients for today's New Year's Eve dinner in the courtyard.

From time to time, his eyes would glance at the Jia family to show their peace of mind.

[Ding, the host ruined He Yuzhu's blind date, and was rewarded with 20 Big Black Tens, 1 fishing lottery, and 1 small yellow croaker. ]

[Ding, the host ruined He Yuzhu's blind date once, and was rewarded with 10 Big Black Tens, 1 fishing lottery draw, and 1 Shandong cuisine proficiency.]

[Ding, the host ruined He Yuzhu's blind date, and is rewarded with 20 Big Black Tens, 1 fishing lottery draw, and 1 Antique Appraisal Skill Minor Proficiency Experience Pack.]

[Ding, considering the host's good performance in the limited-time mission, special rewards are 50 Big Black Tens, 5 Small Yellow Croakers, 2 fishing draws, and 1 system upgrade plug-in. ]

Although Li Ming was waiting for this kind of additional reward, there is no doubt that the good things given this time are really a lot.

Not to mention so many big black croakers, which are enough to replace two years of work as a regular worker in a steel rolling mill. There are also small yellow croakers. Now the small yellow croakers Li Ming has obtained are almost filling up a box in the space.

What the hell is this concept? In the future, Li Ming can do nothing and live happily until he dies.

Not to mention that this time the system boss also brought out a system plug-in. Yi Zhonghai got one last time when he went fishing, and now he got another one.

This is really a great gift package for the New Year. I can also upgrade the system in the New Year, which is really cool!

I even managed to get an extra ten-pull wave. This feeling is incurable!

"System, open the panel."

Li Ming decided to open the panel to appreciate his own performance. As expected, the moment he saw his system panel, Li Ming's sense of happiness exploded!

"Not bad, really good. Apart from anything else, this year's New Year was really worth it!"

"System Upgrade!"

Li Ming had no plan to use up the ten consecutive draws directly. He planned to first see what functions could be added after the system upgrade, and then draw a good reward!

[Ding, this system upgrade is expected to take 6 hours. The host will be notified after the upgrade is completed. ]

Li Ming stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "This time the upgrade took a lot less time. That's fine. I can still see it before the New Year's Eve dinner."

"It seems that my system is afraid that I won't be able to sleep at night!"
