Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 15
Yi Weidong was resting in the west room, when he heard a bicycle parked in front of the door, he came out to have a look, but he didn't expect He Yushui to come back first.

Yi Weidong asked:
"Sister, why did you come back today?"

He Yushui patted the cloth bag on the back seat and said:
"I changed your clothes for you in the afternoon, so I brought them for you first."

He Yushui looked at the mud spots on Yi Weidong's body and said;
"Look at your body, after going out for a day, you only get so much mud?"

"Sister, it's just right. I caught five fish today?"

Yi Weidong waited for He Yushui to put down the package, and pulled it to the cabinet.

After opening it, he handed the fish to He Yushui and said:
"In the evening we ate stewed fish, and I also steamed Erhe noodles steamed buns."

He Yushui touched Yi Weidong's head and said:

"I didn't expect my younger brother to be so good, but why did you kill him? You can use the purchase station to sell the money and keep your pocket money."

"I have money."

Yi Weidong told the story of selling two catties of dog meat to the car repairer yesterday.

He Yushui pointed to the package and said, "Go in and change out the dirty clothes on your body, they all smell like fish."

Yi Weidong took the clothes into the West Room, took off the slightly bigger clothes, and changed into new ones,
He Yushui's craftsmanship is really good, and the modification is just right.

Yi Weidong came out and put the dirty clothes into the washbasin, took them out and soaked them in clean water first,
At this time, Bang Geng came back from school with his two younger sisters,

Seeing that Yi Weidong was washing clothes, Sticky walked up to him and said viciously:

"Stinky boy, wait for me."

Yi Weidong still dares to slander when he sees this sticky meme,
Cursed: "If it falls into my hands again, the spanking will not be the butt."

The sticks were still fighting, and Xiao Dang shouted:

"Brother, have you forgotten what your mother said yesterday?"

Only then did the stick go away with a grunt.

Xiao Mian, still not convinced, I will slowly mess with your family in the future.

Yi Weidong thought secretly.

Looking at his skinny body,
Fighting one-on-one, isn't it necessarily a good fight?

When your bones are better, you must keep exercising.

After all, the next ten years will be a turbulent decade,
I need to collect some more supplies.
If the situation is not good, run to the mountains to the north.

Where are you not living?
No, He Yushui seems to be engaged, right?

Is the bicycle an engagement gift from your partner?

I will ask in a moment.

The clothes were only worn on one body, stained with a little mud,
Wash it in three or two strokes.

I don't know if I don't wash clothes. It's hard to live without a washing machine.

There is a double-tub washing machine in the space, but I can't take it out!

Hang the laundry under the eaves,
Entering the house, He Yushui was putting the steamed buns in the basket.

Asked: "Weidong, are you hungry? Do you want to eat a pad first?"

I was full at noon,
Yi Weidong shook his head and said, "Not hungry."

Pulling a chair with a backrest, riding on it in turn, looking at He Yushui and asking;
"Sister, are you talking about someone?"

He Yushui blushed and said:

"Kid, what are you asking about?"

From the looks of it, they had already negotiated at this time, and it seemed that they got married around the Spring Festival.

"I'm your younger brother, why don't you tell me?" Yi Weidong said.

While working, He Yushui introduced the partner, who is a small policeman who works in a nearby police station.

He said a lot of good things again, and seeing He Yushui's happy appearance, this guy treats her quite well.

Watching his elder sister He Yushui work, Yi Weidong suddenly felt that it was nice to have an older sister.

At first, I wanted to get close to He Yushui to see if I could get a registered residence.
Suddenly he looked at He Yushui, like his own sister,
There are people who care about themselves and think about themselves.

Seeing Yi Weidong in a daze, He Yushui smiled and asked:

"What's the matter? Wei Dong. Why are you in a daze?"

"Nothing? I just feel very happy." Yi Weidong replied.

"Little kid, do you know what happiness is?"

Yi Weidong rolled his eyes, I'm an adult soul in my 20s, what else I haven't seen?

After putting away the steamed buns, He Yushui started stewing fish again, and Yi Weidong asked:
"Sister, how about I do it? Aren't you on the night shift?"

"I slept in the dormitory from 4:12 p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. yesterday. I changed shifts with someone. The shift will be at [-]:[-] p.m. tomorrow afternoon."

The two chatted for a while, and Sha Zhu came back with a lunch box.

When I entered the room, I asked, "Why did you stew the fish? Where did you get the fish?"

He Yushui said, "Brother, Wei Dong caught it in the reed marsh."

Silly Zhu saw that there were still three marinated fish in the cupboard, and said:
"There's been a shortage of fish recently, and you can still touch them, you're really capable."

When Yi Weidong heard about the lack of fish, he regained his spirits. He still had [-] catties of fish in his space.

Hastily asked:

"Brother, tell me, why is there a shortage of fish?"

Silly Zhu talked for a long time, and Yi Weidong finally understood that it is now September 9th, and the 18th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Before the festival, a large number of fish are on the market. It has only been a week. How can there be so many fish for sale?
There are no more fish in the market.

All that can be sold are on the market before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Now I don't have to worry about selling my fish, but I don't have a car, so how to get it is also a problem.

Silly Zhu opened the lunch box and said to He Yushui:
"There are dog meat and fish at home, and I have twice-cooked pork. You fry some peanuts and boil some egg soup. I'll take Weidong to the uncle's house and treat him to dinner later."

He Yushui asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"The matter of Weidong's registration, besides, even if Weidong lives with our parents, he also needs to get to know the three uncles."

He Yushui said: "You invite me to drink together, otherwise the second uncle and the third uncle will be unhappy when they know that you invited only one."

"Okay, I'll invite them first, so that they don't have to eat first." Silly Zhu said.

Yi Weidong asked: "Brother, do I want to buy two more bottles of wine?"

"No need, I still have two catties of wine at home, which is enough." Silly Zhu went out after finishing speaking.

He Yushui said: "Brother, he has hidden wine!"

Then pointed outside.

Sure enough, Shazhu brought two catties of Erguotou wine in less than 2 minutes.

Put down the drink before going out again.

He Yushui said: "Weidong, you wash the peanuts, and then dry them with a dry towel, so that there is no water left."

"Okay."

Yi Weidong grabbed a plate of peanuts, poured them into the vegetable washing basin, and brought them under the faucet in the courtyard to wash them.

Yi Weidong saw that Qin Huairu was washing clothes and said:

"Sister Qin, where are you doing the laundry?"

"Well, is this frying peanuts for your brother?" Qin Huairu asked.

"Yes! My brother likes to eat peanuts and drink some wine."

Yi Weidong didn't mention yesterday's incident with sticks, and Qin Huairu was too embarrassed to speak up.
The two chatted for a while, and found that Qin Huairu greeted Yi Weidong with the appearance of a big sister next door,
An ordinary person would get close to Qin Huairu.

Yi Weidong watched with cold eyes, and used Tai Chi to fool around some problems.

Yi Weidong didn't want to talk too much, so after a few words, he went back to the house.

Seeing that He Yushui was thinking about the heated twice-cooked pork on two plates, he asked:

"Sister, why do you still divide it into two?"

"When we drink here, women and children are not allowed on the table. I will share some and we will eat in the Westinghouse."

He Yu said.

Only then did Yi Weidong remember that many places have this kind of tradition, but later generations gradually opened up and lost these rules.

This is 65 years, and I can only do as the Romans do.

After wiping off the moisture from the peanuts, He Yushui skillfully fried a portion of peanuts, and took some out. Fortunately, he stewed two fish just now, and sent a smaller one to Westinghouse.

After arranging the four dishes, he started to cook the soup again. Yi Weidong also gave his hand and beat two eggs for later use.

Before the water boiled, the uncle walked in.
