Men and women eating in the courtyard

Li Xuewu smiled and said to Xiao Yaner's mother, who was sitting on the kang and looking at her with a slight smile: "Old aunt, we are all a family. You also watched Guodong grow up. He is just a grandma. Today we are all Now, I will propose marriage to you on behalf of my brother."

Shen Guodong was sitting next to Lao Biaozi and his body was trembling with nervousness. He kept pinching his thigh with his hands, but he was so nervous that he couldn't feel the pain.

"Oh!!!"

At this moment, I suddenly heard Lao Biaozi's voice: "Shen Guodong! Can you pinch your own leg if you are so nervous!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Startled by Lao Biaozi's voice, Shen Guodong was no longer nervous at this moment. He stuttered and said to Xiao Yan'er's mother: "Old aunt, Da Zhuang and I are brothers. I will treat Xiao Yan'er My son is fine."

Although Xiao Yan'er's mother was smiling, tears were already streaming down her face.

Seeing her mother nodding, Xiao Yaner threw herself into her mother's arms and started crying.

Li Xuewu signaled to Lao Biaozi and the others, and took Lao Biaozi, Shen Guodong, and Yang Erhai off the kang without putting on their shoes. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Yaner's mother.

When Wen San'er saw this, he handed the child in his arms to his wife, jumped off the kang, knelt down and kowtowed.

Although Wen San'er was a generation older than Li Xuewu and the others, he had always felt guilty for Da Zhuang's unwillingness to give up, so he kowtowed to Xiao Yan'er's mother.

Li Xuewu straightened up, knelt down and said, "Auntie, Guodong has no father or mother, just a grandma. As the eldest brother, I thank you for helping my brother."

Xiao Yaner's mother got off the ground and helped Li Xuewu and others up, and said to Li Xuewu: "Dazhuang is lucky to have brothers like you."

Then he said to Shen Guodong: "Guodong, Xiao Yan'er is entrusted to you. Please take good care of me."

Wen San'er poked Shen Guodong in the back, and Shen Guodong also reacted, kowtowed, and said in response: "Mom, don't worry, you used to be my godmother, and you will be my biological mother in the future. I will be good to Xiao Yan'er." of".

This godmother was discussed by Li Xuewu and the others when they were just hanging out on the street. The brothers had agreed that their parents were their godmothers, and they would have to take care of them in the future.

This is also the reason why Lao Biaozi has been raising the Da Zhuang family until Li Xuewu came back.

Wen Saner persuaded several people to get on the kang again. Because of the happy event, everyone was more enthusiastic about drinking.

The marriage was finally decided today, so Shen Guodong and Xiao Yan'er poured wine and toasted to several elders and brothers.

Xiao Yan'er was so embarrassed that she could no longer raise her head, and was being held by her mother's hand while she was talking.

After drinking for a little while, the men on the kang drank tea first, boasting to each other, talking about their respective glory days or the embarrassing past of their brothers.

Qin Huairu took Yu Li and others to pick up the tables and wash the dishes. After cleaning up, they all left the back room and went to the west courtyard.

Because Wen San'er threw a lot of wood before eating, and Lao Biaozi threw a few briquettes in, the fire was still burning.

Lao Biaozi drank too much, so he rushed to the fire with his 500 ring in hand. Fortunately, Li Xuewu quickly caught Lao Biaozi with his quick eyes.

"If you want to self-immolate, put down those 500 firecrackers first. We don't have many firecrackers."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Old Biaozi laughed himself, flicked the firecrackers in his hands and said, "It's okay, Brother Wu, I can do it!"

Li Xuewu pushed the old Biaozi, who kept shouting "I can do it", onto the wooden pillar, snatched the firecracker from his hand and handed it to Shen Guodong.

The second child took the pole that had been prepared long ago, propped up the firecrackers and placed them on top of the fire.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Lao Biaozi bought a total of five firecrackers covered with red and a box of two kickers. These are the best firecrackers that can be bought in this era.

I didn't dare to think about fireworks, I could only watch the fireworks rising in the sky in the distance.

Three hanging whips are set aside to be released on the first, fifth and fifteenth day of the lunar month, so I plan to release two hanging whips tonight.

The second boy picked one, Silly Zhu picked another, and placed them both on the fire.

This time it was a big explosion, the sparks exploded, and the onlookers were so frightened that they covered their ears and ran away.

Especially the children were so frightened that they swarmed towards their adults.

He was running so slowly that he was driven away by the falling sparks.

Especially when Silly Pillar was acting mischievously, he was trying to make the children run away while holding the pole.

"Hahahahaha"

After setting off the firecrackers, we started to set off the firecrackers again.

Two kicks, two sounds, huff~poof!

Silly Zhu and others hugged the children, while the children trembled with the incense sticks in their hands to order some medicine.

The cannons were really loud at this time, probably because they used enough materials, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

These children who had just been chased by Sha Zhu with firecrackers were both good and fun-loving. They forgot that Sha Zhu’s firecrackers were broken just now and asked him to help light the firecrackers.

Silly Zhu and Lao Biaozi both drank a little too much. When the children lit the cannon, they dragged the children to prevent them from running away. They were so scared that the children screamed.

Looking at the second kick in his hand, Li Xuewu felt that it was not interesting. After all, it was not as enjoyable as the mortar he had shot before.

After setting off the firecrackers, everyone sat around the fire and continued chatting. It seemed that the atmosphere was particularly good at this time.

Regardless of whether you have drunk too much or not, sitting by the campfire, feeling the cold of winter and the heat of the fire, watching the fireworks in the sky, seems very comfortable and willing to talk.

The sound of firecrackers continued one after another until the morning of New Year's Day.

Of course it was impossible for Li Xuewu and the others to stay awake all night. After chatting in the middle of the night, the children couldn't hold on and fell asleep first in their parents' arms.

Then came the adults, who couldn't hold on anymore after a day of exhaustion. They cleaned up the fire and everyone went home to rest.

Of course, except for the sleeping room, the other rooms are still lit.

Who despises his own wealth? Even if he is not superstitious, his body is still very honest.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xuewu had not yet woken up, but the sound of firecrackers outside the window was already deafening.

If you have the conditions, use the hanging whip, if not, use the two kicks.

This thing is so noisy that even one or two people in a family can't stand it.

I rubbed my face and tried to open my eyes. The hustle and bustle last night happened last year, and today is the beginning of a new year.

This year! Li Xuewu is 20 years old!

As soon as I got up to get dressed, I found a new set of clothes next to the pillow.

From underwear, underwear, to the outermost navy blue jacket, she is neatly dressed.

"hehe"

Li Xuewu knew who prepared this, and Yu Li must not have time.

After folding the quilt and putting on new clothes, Li Xuewu walked to the dressing mirror in the cloakroom and looked at it. He had to say that Sister Qin's craftsmanship was really good.

"Woke up?"

Really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Qin Huairu wore new clothes and walked up to Li Xuewu. She rubbed the wrinkles on Li Xuewu's clothes with her hands and looked at the size from left to right.

“It’s okay, it fits just right”

Li Xuewu asked with a smile: "Why are your hands so skillful? This dress is so comfortable to wear."

"Go, you will become glib!"

He knelt down and stretched out the legs of Li Xuewu's trousers, and said angrily: "Looking at the uniforms in your cabinet, you don't want to wear them. I know you like clothes that are slimmer, so I changed the trousers for you and made the clothes for you." Waisted”.

Li Xuewu turned around, it really looked like a cadre jacket from later generations.

"You like to wear a coat, but it feels cold when you take it off. From now on, wear this with a coat."

Qin Huairu stretched out Li Xuewu's trousers, stood up, looked at Li Xuewu again, and smiled with satisfaction.

Looking at the man in front of her, Qin Huairu asked casually, as if casually: "What are you going to do about Yu Li's matter?"

Li Xuewu turned his hair and felt that his current hairstyle was not handsome enough.

"You two don't get along, so why are you so close to each other as sisters?"

Qin Huairu stood behind Li Xuewu, squatted down with Li Xuewu, stroked Li Xuewu's hair with her hands and said, "Don't cut it so short next time, otherwise it won't look good when it grows out again. I'll go and see it." Look, buy some hair scissors and I’ll fix them for you later.”

Li Xuewu's hair was trimmed by Master Zeng on the roadside last month. Although he had made an appointment with Master Zeng to come here once a month on a Saturday, Li Xuewu missed the time when Master Zeng came to do it years ago, and now he has it again. It’s the first month of the year, so waiting a few more days seems a bit long.

"Yu Li still has to deal with her own affairs. I have no right to make decisions for her."

Li Xuewu put on his coat while Qin Huairu waited on him, then turned around and said, "Yan Jiecheng's side is left to him for the time being. You should be more concerned about Yu Li's side."

"knew"

Qin Huairu glared at Li Xuewu, but then 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 touch 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."

Qin Huairu 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 of the courtyard.

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

It means saying hello to each other in the New Year, sharing some peanuts and melon seeds, chatting, telling each other about the New Year's plans, which 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 and setting up a broken table and chairs in the front yard.

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 for dinner.

He took off his coat, crossed his legs and got on the kang. Seeing Wen San'er's eyes as red as a rabbit, 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 furtive eyes.

Maybe it was because Li Xuewu and the others were talking about having a son early last night. All the men with wives were very tired last night.

Silly Zhu came 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 job.

Li Xuewu tasted the dumpling fillings and radish meat. 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? Are you working here at the branch? Are you going back to the steel 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 stunned by Li Xuewu's question, and then realized that it was Li Xuewu who was sensitive to this matter, and 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 will 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 any leader who likes Sichuan food comes, I will call you."

"Hey, then I'm not welcome."

This time it was Li Xuewu's turn to wave his hand, signaling Shazhu to eat 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 his apprentice. The things Xiaozao purchased and intercepted can be considered valuable in this era.

The living standards of the people in the compound cannot be evaluated based on the food standards of the inverted house.

The reason why the food here is good is because a group of big men make money, and the expenses come from the accounts, so the food is good.

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

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

The third uncle who lives in the front yard was envious of the liveliness of the house last night during the New Year's Eve celebration. 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.

Hey, our whole family planned to have a meal of dumplings, and you are really enjoying the meal.

Last night, when 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 stays in that position all year round. It is said that it is easy to break if it is turned too much.

This year, since there are no 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 did not come from the strong wind."

"What do you know!"

The third uncle wrinkled his nose and said something to the second child in the family, and then explained: "Then 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 still taking advantage of the other party. Without Li Xuewu, would we have this housing base?"

The third aunt nodded and said: "How can I say that your father's calculation is in place?"

"Emotional!"

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

"I've done all the research. 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, are you short-sighted? Go and find out how much it cost to build so many 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, but 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 didn't 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 tell Yu Li.

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

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, and Yu Li would have to give it to him when the time came.

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 they will ask us to make up for the excess cost?"

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 another 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!"

Seeing that her little son, who always had a scheming attitude, had a wrong attitude, the third aunt persuaded the third uncle: "Hurry up and give it to them."

The third uncle, the head of the family, glanced at the third aunt, then nodded and said: "Okay, okay, divide."

While talking, he brought over the peanuts in the washbasin and distributed the peanuts to everyone with a spatula.

"One person, one shovel"

As they were talking about dividing the peanuts, several children gathered around, holding them with both hands, but they could see that there were not as many peanuts as there were fingers in their hands.

"Dad, my eldest brother is not at home to celebrate the New Year this year. Isn't this a little extra for us?"

"That's right, give us my eldest brother and sister-in-law's share!"

The third uncle looked at the second one who was leading the booing, and said with sideways eyes, "Isn't this a proper division? Let's shovel one person at a time, and then we can make up for it later."

After he finished speaking, he glared at Yan Jiefang, watched the second child lower his head, and then continued to separate.

When Yan Jiefang saw his third child receiving the peanuts, he started to eat them. He raised his eyes and said, "Hey, hey, don't eat it yet, lest dad punish you unfairly."

"If I am unfair, then there will be no fair people in the world."

The third uncle glanced at the second one with dissatisfaction and continued: "If you keep busy, you won't be able to make up for it."

Yan Jiekuang glanced at his second brother and said, "That's right, we already have the house, but we still need these few peanuts?"

"Hey, third child, what are you talking about?"

Hearing that his third brother's words didn't sound right, Yan Jiefang was about to take action, but the third aunt asked anxiously: "We're celebrating the New Year, what are you going to do?"

The third uncle saw all this and finished dividing the peanuts with a frown. The unity in the family was gone.

The third uncle kept his brows furrowed until morning, wondering in his heart whether he had chosen the right son to support him.

The third uncle put his hands in his sleeves and felt uncomfortable watching the eldest daughter-in-law working in the back room.

"Old Yan, what are you looking at?"

The second uncle came to the front yard to prepare for a group visit. At this moment, he saw the third uncle standing at the door and looking towards the back room, so he asked.

The third uncle turned around and saw Liu Haizhong, "Hey hey" he laughed twice and said: "It's okay, let's just watch the excitement."

"Are you envious?"

The second uncle curled his lips and said, "I saw it. What they eat in the morning are dumplings."

The third uncle took a sip of the pills, shook his head and said, "What am I envious of? It's not like we don't eat dumplings at home."

"hehe"

The second uncle looked at the stubborn Yan Laoer and said with a smile: "If you have a good relationship with your son and daughter-in-law, won't you get a share of these dumplings?"

The third uncle knew that Liu Haizhong was mocking him, and wanted to turn around and say goodbye, but now the second uncle finished talking and went to talk to the first uncle.

Li Xuewu is very pressed for time today. He has to go home to pay New Year greetings in the morning, and also has to go to his godmother’s house to pay New Year greetings. There are many things to do.

So after dinner, I got dressed and asked everyone to come to the front yard to attend the group meeting while I went home to pay New Year greetings.

When I entered the front yard, I saw that most of the children in the yard were wearing new clothes and new shoes, walking around among the crowd, laughing and joking.

There are children whose mothers have good craftsmanship and fashionable clothes who even show off to the children in the courtyard. Everyone can see their pride and pride.

He bowed his hands to the neighbors who said auspicious words to him and returned to his home.

Everyone in the family was already waiting for him. Li Xuewu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady and said auspicious words.

Li Xuewu is the first child in three generations of his family to be separated and live alone, so the old lady is paying special attention to Li Xuewu now.

This can be seen from the red envelope given to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu knelt down and reached out to receive the red envelope. Before he could hold it in his arms, his daughter took it away.

This little devil now knows what is good and what is bad. He wants something when he sees it in someone else's hands, and if he doesn't give it, he will grab it.

I said New Year greetings to the old lady, then to my parents, and finally I said Happy New Year to my elder brother Xuewen, my third child, Xuecai, and my younger sister, Li Xue.

Li Shun led Li Xuewu to kneel down and kowtow in front of his family tree. A sacrifice had been prepared for Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu burned three sticks of incense and was taught by Li Shun before completing the ancestor worship ceremony.

It is said to be a ceremony, but in fact it is just a simple rule. After all, there is no succession to the throne, nor is it a big family, so there is not so much to pay attention to.

After eating the dumplings left by his mother, Li Xuewu hugged his daughter and followed his father and mother. The whole family went out. Well... they couldn't walk more than three steps to attend the group visit in the courtyard.

It is really convenient for the Li family to attend a hospital-wide meeting, because it is right in front of their home. In summer, Li Xuecai would sit on the window sill of his home to participate, without having to leave the ground.

Now even Li Shu is dissatisfied, it's too perfunctory.

Originally, my father had wrapped me tightly in a quilt, and I was wearing a little tiger hat made by my great-grandmother. The only big eyes that were exposed were full of excitement, and I thought I would go far to play.

Unexpectedly, I took three steps!

Is this going out for fun?

There are so many steps to take before going home to the backyard!

"ah!"

Listening to his daughter's cries of dissatisfaction, Li Xuewu knew that the little devil wanted to join in the crowd, so he carried his daughter and walked inside.

Now everyone in the courtyard is here, and the uncle is helping everyone grab the melon seeds and peanuts in the basin. This is a rare benefit in the year.

Several members of the third uncle's family gathered around the basin and stuffed their bags into their pockets.

Li Xuewu held his daughter in his arms and stood in the crowd of people on the opposite side of the room. As soon as he stopped, the daughter in his arms was snatched away by Wen San'er.

"Hey, look at this little face. He's so handsome that he could be my daughter-in-law!"

As he spoke, Wen Saner showed a trafficker's smile and held Li Shu in his arms to show to his wife.

Fei Shanying saw that Wen San'er was holding the child in a wrong posture, so she smiled and took Li Shu from Wen San'er's arms to tease her.

Wen San'er didn't sleep well last night, which had a lot to do with Fei Shanying.

Before getting married, I didn't even think about it, so I thought he was a helpless bachelor. Seeing that he was of good character and reliable in words and deeds, he nodded and agreed to the matter.

What Wen San'er told her at the beginning was that he was helpless and living with his useless nephew collecting scraps.

On the day of her wedding, Fei Shanying felt that something was wrong. Why was she still managing this waste recycling station for her man? Besides, his nephew didn't look like a waste.

It wasn't until Wen San'er insisted on taking her here to celebrate the New Year that she saw the secret behind it.

Well, usually everyone is wearing shabby clothes and has a gray face, but on New Year's Day, Fei Shanying was shocked.

All brand-new jackets and brand-new military coats. Who can wear so many new clothes at this time?

Wen San'er avoided her during the day and was too embarrassed to ask in front of many people. After returning to the concierge to rest, Fei Shanying began to take care of Wen San'er.

There is a combination of soft and hard, but Wen San'er can't get hard anyway, so Wen San'er's eyes are still red now.

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1966. The second uncle and the third uncle proposed to have this group worship. I very much agree. We will form a system and we will hold group worship every year!"

The first uncle took the lead in the contest between the second uncle and the third uncle and made the opening speech.

Because Li Xuewu was in control in the courtyard, and in addition, Xu Damao was kicked away, He Yuzhu was suppressed, Jia Zhang was intimidated, and Tian Wenjing was stunned, there were a lot less meetings in the courtyard.

This group visit may have been the idea of ​​the second uncle, who had been feeling quite uncomfortable recently, and the third uncle, who was not vomiting and unhappy.

The first uncle continued: "The second uncle asked me to wish everyone a New Year first, so I will say a few words. I wish everyone in the hospital happiness, health, and safety. I wish you all a New Year!"

What followed was a roar of applause from everyone, and everyone smashed melon seeds and even poured out their hands to applaud.

After the first uncle finished speaking, he invited the second uncle to pay New Year greetings to everyone.

The second uncle did give everyone something to write about, including a Spring Festival couplet.

But the first line was okay and got everyone's applause, but the second line was interrupted by Silly Zhu.

The New Year was planned to be lively. Although the second uncle was angry that Silly Zhu was causing trouble, he just laughed and cursed.

The third uncle put on a show, praised the second uncle, mentioned his identity as an old master, promoted himself, and made a concluding speech.

"We have always had a good atmosphere in our hospital, which is to be diligent and studious, serve the masses, work hard, and respect our parents."

As the third uncle spoke, he glanced at everyone, as if to see who was not in a good mood.

"What I want to say is that we should pay more attention to the construction and maintenance of good culture. Some people who did not do well last year should make self-review speeches and self-criticism here!"

"Of course, we should praise those who have done well, and please come out and give a speech so that everyone can learn from it, right?"

The first uncle nodded and said: "The third uncle's suggestion is good. I think you all should maintain the excellent family style of our courtyard."

The second uncle cracked the melon seeds and asked: "Then who should come first? How about letting your family come first?"

As he spoke, the second uncle pointed at Yu Li and said, "Let's start with your boss."

The third uncle frowned and glanced at the second uncle. Wasn't he giving himself eye drops?

But having said that, he also wanted to pull Yu Li out and let everyone criticize her, so that the eldest daughter-in-law would be more filial and careful about her reputation.

It's true that Yu Li and his wife are so miserable this year, how can they earn money and save a small treasury? How can there be a separation? How can you choose to take care of it yourself? How can you smash the glass of your own home?

Even the second uncle in the backyard heard this plan.

Well, as soon as the third uncle fell asleep, the second uncle, who wanted to watch the fun, came to hand him a pillow.

Yu Li frowned when she heard her father-in-law's words, and when the second uncle pointed his finger at her, her face became even more ugly.

The third uncle nodded "reluctantly" and said: "Then Yu Li, you speak first."

Yu Li glanced at the people in the courtyard, then frowned and said, "Since the three uncles asked me to speak, I will say a few words."

"As for being diligent and eager to learn, I also advocate being a role model. I would like to praise Li Xuewen and his wife. They are diligent, down-to-earth, filial to their parents, and caring for the young and old."

Li Xuewen's participation in the courtyard meetings has been zero over the years. Today is also the New Year, and it is the first time he has met a group meeting in the courtyard, so he went out to participate.

But I never expected that I would be praised the first time I participated, but this praise was a bit inexplicable.

Li Xuewen also didn't know when he was diligent. Wasn't he the first one to run away after class? Did you remember it wrong?

Zhao Yafang knew why Yu Li said that. She glanced at the third uncle, pursed her lips and said nothing.

She saw that Yu Li had some relationship with her second brother-in-law, but she didn't know how deep the friendship was, so she didn't say anything when she heard that Yu Li said only good things.

Everyone in this courtyard is a human spirit, and there is no one who can't hear the meaning of Li's words. Now the third uncle's face feels hot.

Co-authored by the eldest daughter-in-law, she is sarcastically saying that she has no way to teach her son, she is so ambitious and difficult to serve.

Then Yu Li continued to say: "Besides, respecting your parents, I agree with this, especially I have to learn from the second uncle."

The second uncle was stunned when he heard this, and then he knew that it was his suggestion that made Yu Li angry, but just as he was about to stop Yu Li, someone else started talking over there.

"The children in the second uncle's family are well educated. As the old saying goes, unkind parents will lead to unfilial children. Judging from the behavior of brothers Guangtian and Guangfu, this second uncle is the most kind father in the courtyard."

"you!"

No one in the courtyard knows how much hardship the two "young masters" of the second uncle's family have endured. Everyone can tell whether they are kind or not. Now everyone is watching the second uncle's jokes.

Before the second uncle could say what came after the word "you", Yu Li glanced at her father-in-law and said, "Especially since the second uncle has never done anything like his son having to spend money to use a car or a flashlight, nor has he ever done anything to take advantage of it." It’s a cheap thing for sons and daughters-in-law.”

"Wow!"

As soon as Yu Li said these words, everyone in the hospital burst into laughter.

At this moment, the second uncle didn't know whether he should laugh or be upset.

Watch Yu Li ridicule yourself, but now it is Yan Fugui who is being targeted. Now that he is criticizing Yu Li, isn't he blocking the bullet for Yan Fugui?

Good guy, the human spirits in this courtyard all started to look at Li differently. This is the way people of the same kind look at the same kind of people.

I used to think that the daughter-in-law of the third uncle's family was stubborn and dared to smash the windows of his father-in-law's house. Now it seems that the younger daughter-in-law is not a good person either.

He suppressed the third uncle and beat the second uncle, and then used the second uncle to beat the third uncle. Good guy, roundhouse kicks and a series of kicks.

Li Shu, who was in Lao Biaozi's arms, saw everyone clapping their hands and laughing, and even his newly grown small teeth were exposed.

The first man saw that the group meeting could no longer continue, and the second and third brothers were knocked out one after another, so he could only carry his own teapot back to the central courtyard.

I just celebrated the Chinese New Year with Yu Li yesterday, and I don't want to get involved in Yu Li's affairs.

Besides, everyone can see that there is someone standing behind Yu Li.

Seeing that the first uncle was gone, the second uncle opened his mouth to say something.

But seeing Yu Li staring at her, she quickly grabbed her teapot and followed the uncle back.

Now the third uncle was left sitting there with a frown on his face and said nothing.

The third aunt wanted to say something, but it was too embarrassing to talk about it in this situation. In addition, there was a group of people standing behind Yu Li. She knew that her daughter-in-law was not to be messed with now, so she helped the third uncle to get up and go home. .

The third uncle took advantage of his wife's steps to hold the remaining peanuts and melon seeds on the table in his arms, glared at Yu Li and walked home.

Li Xuewu felt that the drama in this courtyard should reduce the number of supporting roles, otherwise it would be too noisy. He squinted at the second uncle and the aggrieved third uncle who returned to the backyard.

Li Xuewu snatched his daughter back from the "human trafficker" and said to everyone: "I have to go to pay New Year's greetings in the morning. You can go and do what you are supposed to do."

Qin Huairu hugged Banggeng and said, "I have to go back to my parents' home, see my parents, and then bring Jingru over."

As he spoke, he glanced at Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu grinned when he heard this and couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'm fine. I'll still be cooking for lunch today. It's time for you to have dinner when you come back from New Year greetings."

Lao Biaozi straightened his clothes and said: "I will go home to pay New Year greetings, and I will come back for lunch."

Because of the separation of the family, the relationship between Lao Biaozi and his family was not close, and the nonsense involved could write another book.

Wen San'er picked up his son and said, "We're going back home. We'll see you on the third day of the new year."

Shen Guodong said with a smile: "I will go to Xiao Yan'er's family to pay New Year's greetings first. At noon, I have to help me pack my lunch box. I brought food to my grandma and came back to eat."

Everyone reported their itinerary one by one so that Si Zhu could prepare the meal.

At this moment, Yu Li pulled Yu Yu and said, "Let's go to the temple fair. Today is the first day, so it's going to be lively."

Yu Yu got along well with Yu Li in the past two days, especially since Yu Li had been with her when she was most sad, so when Yu Li wanted to take her out to play, he agreed with a smile.

Seeing Yuyu's promise, Yu Li turned to Li Xuewu and said, "Xuewu, lend me your car, and we'll ride together."

Li Xuewu smiled and bumped Li Shu in his arms and said, "Put it in the desk drawer and get it yourself."

Looking at Li Xuewu's smile, Yu Li knew that he supported her, and went to the backyard to get the key with a smile.

Li Xuewu said to the second child: "Get a car from Taixi Courtyard, follow Sister-in-law Yu Li and your sister Yuyu to visit the temple fair. We are busy all year round. Let's go and have fun."

The second child knew what Li Xuewu meant, and letting him go was not just for fun.

"I know Brother Wu"

Seeing that the second child agreed, Yuyu, who was standing next to Silly Pillar, also saw what Li Xuewu meant.

"Thank you for learning martial arts."

Now this temple fair is not as big as it was on Xiaonian Day. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is packed with people.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are bad guys.

The two ladies went out to play, but after all they were worried, so Li Xuewu asked the second child, who was fine, to follow them.

Although the second child is young, he may have been hanging out with Li Xuewu until now, so he is not a simple character.

Not to mention his good brains, just talking about combat effectiveness, the three or two iron chain belts he wears all year round are not a problem.

In the past, boys like Li Xuewu, who were fifteen or sixteen years old, dared to greet an adult who was only 1.8 meters tall while wearing iron chains, and those who could still beat him would run away screaming.

After everyone finished talking about their arrangements, Li Xuewu hugged the child and said something to Liu Yin before walking out.

Li Shu saw that her father did not take her home, nor did he return to the backyard. She looked at her home farther and farther from the quilt with her big eyes, and she was so excited that she couldn't help but feel happy.

The godmother's house was not far away. Li Xuewu held his daughter while walking along the way. He followed the neighbors on the road and exchanged New Year greetings when they met.

The neighbors were the most curious about Li Xuewu's changes, and everyone who saw Li Xuewu would say something.

The journey was not far, but it took a lot of time. When we arrived at my godmother's house, the sun was already up.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Xuewu saw two naughty children rolling on the snow in the courtyard.

Xu saw Li Xuewu coming in with the child from the window, and godmother Wang Shuhua opened the door and welcomed him out.

"Oh, my eldest granddaughter is here!"

Talking and laughing, the godmother took Li Shu from Li Xuewu's arms and lifted up the quilt covering it, revealing Li Shu's little face.

"Happy New Year, Dad. I wish you good health and all the best."

Li Xuewu greeted Zheng Shusen who followed him out, and Zheng Shusen patted Li Xuewu on the shoulder and responded with a smile.

Li Xuewu greeted the eldest son, his wife, the second son and his son-in-law of the Zheng family.

Zheng Shusen has a son and a daughter, both of whom are no longer with him. The eldest son is Zheng Xicai, who lives in Xicheng and works in Urban Construction.

The youngest daughter's name is Zheng Xiaoyan, and she married in Jinmen. The couple are both employees of a radio factory.

Li Xuewu went to the south when Zheng Xiaoyan had her child, so Li Xuewu knew everyone in the courtyard.

"Learn martial arts and come in quickly"

Zheng Xiaoyan smiled and let Li Xuewu enter the house. It was Li Xuewu who saved her from the alley back then.

Li Xuewu smiled and offered cigarettes to Zheng Xicai and Zheng Xiaoyan, and they entered the room with laughter.

As soon as she entered the house, her godmother opened Li Shu's quilt, hugged Li Shu and sat on the sofa to play.

Looking at a room full of strangers, Li Shu was not afraid, she just looked at them curiously.

Except for Zheng Shusen and his wife, the children of the Zheng family still didn't know about Li Shu. They all looked at the porcelain doll brought by Li Xuewu with curiosity.

The godmother didn't tell her children about Li Shu's life experience. Wang Shuhua couldn't say this in front of her children during the Chinese New Year, so she kissed her as if it was Li Xuewu's child.

The two little boys who were crazy in the courtyard just now ran in and looked at the doll sitting on the sofa with surprised expressions.
