"knew"

Qin Huairu glared at Li Xuewu, but muttered, "Men are all so heartless."

"hehe"

Looking at Qin Huairu with raised eyebrows, Li Xuewu pinched the pretty widow's face, which was already tender and fleshy, and asked, "Why am I so cruel to you?"

"go!"

Qin Huairu didn't dare to let Li Xuewu get involved with her here. The window was closed with a pair of white gauze curtains. If you looked carefully outside, you could still see the figures clearly.

Li Xuewu stepped out and said as he walked, "Don't talk nonsense during the group worship later. You don't have to worry about Yu Li's affairs."

Qinhuai

Ru came to Li Xuewu not only to see if the clothes she made were suitable, but also to inform Li Xuewu to attend the group visit party in the courtyard.

This is the first time for the courtyard. The first day of the year is the New Year, and the three elders in the courtyard convene everyone to have a group meeting.

It means saying hello to each other in the New Year, sharing some peanuts and melon seeds, chatting, and telling each other about the New Year's plans. This is also a way to unite the neighbors in the courtyard.

After putting on my cotton shoes and going out of the house, I saw a young man clearing the snow in the front yard and setting up a broken table and chairs.

Li Xuewu smiled and said hello to the neighbors and entered the house.

On the first day of the first lunar month, dumplings are served on the second day of the lunar month, and on the third day of the lunar month, dumplings are served as the meal in the morning.

Yu Li got up early and took He Yuyu and Wen San's daughter-in-law's bag. Li Xuewu entered the house just in time to have dinner.

He took off his coat and got on the kang cross-legged. Seeing Wen San'er's eyes as red as rabbits, Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "You started working hard last night?"

"screw you!"

Of course Wen San'er knew what Li Xuewu meant. He glanced at his wife who was serving dumplings on the table, but was given an angry look by Fei Shanying.

"Hey hey hey"

Lao Biaozi sat aside and watched the fun, holding dumplings dipped in soy sauce and vinegar, looking at Wen San'er with sly eyes.

Maybe it was because Li Xuewu and the others said last night that they would have a son early. All the men with wives were very tired last night.

Silly Zhu arrived later than Li Xuewu, washed his hands and walked into the back room. Seeing that everyone had already eaten, he squeezed Shen Guodong onto the kang.

"When do you work?"

Silly Zhu asked Li Xuewu while taking his rice bowl.

Li Xuewu tasted the dumpling fillings and radish meat, and they were really delicious.

"It's not necessarily the third year of junior high school. Maybe I go back to the steel rolling mill in the third year of junior high school, and I don't know what's going on with the branch."

Silly Zhu waved his hand and refused Erbaier's offer of wine, "Thanks, brother, the energy from last night hasn't passed yet, so I won't drink in the morning."

He smiled and said politely, and then asked Li Xuewu, "What will happen next? You just work here at the branch? Are you going back to the rolling mill?"

Li Xuewu held the dumplings and looked at Silly Zhu with a smile and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Silly Zhu was taken aback by Li Xuewu's question, and then he realized that Li Xuewu was sensitive to this matter, so he smiled and waved his hand.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Part-time jobs are just like this. There are priorities for each other. How can I tell clearly?"

Silly Zhu nodded and said, "The guest house is doing well. Our director held a meeting a year ago and said that from now on, the daily meals of the leaders will be in the guest house, and we will not be needed."

"Regret it?"

Li Xuewu looked at Silly Zhu and said, "If you still want to go, I can help you transfer."

"Come on"

Silly Zhu shook his head and said, "I feel more relaxed now that I don't have to be on duty. Cooking rice in a big pot is much easier than cooking in a small stove."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "They are all from the same factory. I will tell Xu Ning later that if a leader who likes Sichuan food comes, I will call you."

"Hey, you're welcome then."

This time it was Li Xuewu's turn to wave his hand, signaling Sha Zhu to eat the dumplings.

You know that Sha Zhu’s words are not for nothing. Sha Zhu is also willing to open a small stove and delay his time from get off work. Otherwise, with his temper, who can control him?

Besides, he is not alone, he also has an apprentice. The things that Xiaozao purchased and intercepted can be considered valuable in this era.

The living standards of the people in the courtyard cannot be evaluated based on the food standards of the inverted houses.

The reason why the food here is good is because a group of big men make money, and the expenses are all paid out of the accounts, so the food is good.

In this day and age, which family has eight gentlemen working to make money?

Which other company makes money in the form of a production and operation group?

The third uncle who lives in the front yard was so envious of the liveliness of the house during the New Year's Eve last night. He was still thinking about it at home this morning.

The smell of the dumplings eaten during the stay-up period spread to the front yard, and the sacrifices brought to the house by the first uncle were all noticed by the third uncle.

Oh, our whole family planned to have a meal of dumplings, and you will be very happy.

Last night, while Li Xuewu and the others were chatting around the campfire, the third uncle's family was listening to the music from the box around the coffee table.

There was no gala party at this time, and what was in the box was Hou Baolin's cross talk "Night Journey".

The third uncle adjusted the knob of the radio distressedly and said, "Just listen, loud noise consumes electricity."

I don’t know where the third uncle heard this little trick to save money. Anyway, the knob of the radio at home is always in the same position. It is said that it is easy to break if it is turned too much.

This year, since we don’t have the elder couple, the house seems a little empty.

But no one in the family felt sorry, especially Yan Jiefang, who was sitting at the table.

"Dad, did you really get 250 yuan for my eldest brother? What kind of house is that, decorated with gold rims?"

"Go! Why are you talking to your dad?"

The third aunt scolded Yan Jiefang, and then said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't that just for you?"

Yan Jiefang also knew that the money was for himself, but he still frowned and muttered, "But this is too much. Our money didn't come from the strong wind."

"What do you know!"

The third uncle wrinkled his nose and said something to the second eldest child in the family, and then explained, "Where was the place in Dongkua Courtyard before? Can you live in it without spending money to clean it up?"

Seeing Yan Jiefang not speaking, the third uncle continued, "This is just taking advantage of the other party. Without Li Xuewu, would we have this base?"

The third aunt nodded and said, "Why don't you say that your father's calculation is in place?"

"Emotional!"

The third uncle said with a proud face, "Then the Li family is preparing a house for their third son, so can Li Xuewu not work hard?"

"I've already made inquiries. Construction will start after the new year. We don't even need to hire a construction team. Your eldest brother will build a house together with others' help."

Yan Jiefang said unconvinced, "How much money will it cost? If we build it ourselves, we won't be able to use so much."

The third uncle said disdainfully, "You silly boy, you are short-sighted, aren't you? Go and find out how much it cost to build those houses in the west courtyard, and then look at the area of ​​the east courtyard."

Although Yan Jiefang still didn't understand, his father was not the one who suffered the loss, and now he felt that he had taken advantage.

"My eldest brother agrees. I still understand. Why did Yu Li agree? According to her, she would have made trouble by now."

Since the last quarrel, Yan Jiefang no longer calls Li sister-in-law, but calls her Yu Li instead.

Because he didn't scream, the younger brothers and sisters down here didn't scream either. Those who came in and met Yu Li seemed like they hadn't seen him.

Yu Li was not angry because she did not take into account the children raised by her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

While talking, Yan Jiefang looked at the third uncle and asked, "Dad, is there anything wrong? That's 250 yuan."

The third uncle also thought about this matter. He thought that his boss might not have told Yu Li.

He was somewhat mentally prepared for this, because his boss had a cowardly temperament, so Yu Li's attitude toward her boss and her own family changed completely since she started working to earn money.

Yan Fugui didn't believe anything that the eldest son and his wife had agreed to allocate a house to the second son.

But he had the house allocation document written in black and white in his pocket. The house belonged to his eldest son, so Yu Li would have to give it to him if he didn't want to.

Thinking of this, the third uncle told his family, "Don't talk about this matter for now, so as not to cause trouble."

Yan Jiefang smiled proudly and said, "I know, aren't you just afraid that if they exceed the cost, they will ask us to make up for it?"

The third uncle glanced at it and said, "What! I'm afraid that if Yu Li finds out, she won't build your room, or it won't be built well."

"We'll just wait and eat what's ready-made. When their house is finished, we can move in directly."

"Hey, Dad, you are the tallest! You have calculated so far!"

"Emotional!"

The third uncle said proudly, "How else would you say I am the head of the family?"

The third child of the Yan family is already a little red-eyed because of the bullshit here.

The eldest brother took 500 yuan from the family to find a job, and the second brother took 250 yuan from the family to build a house. What is left for the family?

In the end, I have to live in this shabby house and support these two old men... and so on?

"Dad, we can't tell you apart or not, I can't wait!"
To be continued...
