Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 305 Qin Huairu Returns

Yi Weidong thought about it and said, "Okay, no problem."

"Hmph, think about it again, there is no sincerity at all."

The two bickered all the way back to the courtyard and went home separately.

The next day, the news that Bang Geng was arrested for stealing money and being taken to the police station spread in the compound, and there was a lot of discussion at dinner. I'm in jail.

When Xiaodang and Huaihua heard that Banggen was sent to the police station for stealing money, they secretly cried a few times. It took Yan Jiedi a long time to persuade the two little girls to feel better.

A few days later, it came to Saturday. After dinner, Yi Weidong went back to the back room and said to Xiaodang and Huaihua, "Would you like to take you to the movies today?"

"Okay, let's go now." Xiao Dang said happily.

Huaihua smiled and said, "I'll call Aunt Sini."

After finishing speaking, he bounced out, and within a few minutes, Yan Jiedi was brought over.

A group of four uncles and nephews came to the cinema. Yi Weidong bought four movie tickets and entered the hall. Xiao Dang said in surprise:

"Look, Uncle Xu is checking tickets? Isn't it for a movie?"

Yi Weidong looked up and saw Xu Damao checking tickets at the ticket gate. Could it be that Xu Damao's projectionist was removed and replaced by a ticket inspector?
Said: "Come on, let's go ask."

Xiao Dang came forward and asked Xu Damao, "Uncle Xu, why don't you show a movie upstairs?"

Xu Damao looked up and saw Xiaodang and Huaihua in surprise, "Why did you watch the movie? Where did you get the money to buy the tickets?"

Xu Damao used to be in the screening room on the second floor, so he didn't know that the four of them often went to watch movies.

"Uncle Xu, you haven't said why you check the ticket here?"

Only then did Xu Damao see Yi Weidong and Yan Jiedi behind him, and said angrily, "Weidong, why is it you again? Come to see if I'm joking?"

Yi Weidong raised the four movie tickets in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Da Mao, what are you talking about? Xiao Dang wants to watch porn movies, so I brought them here."

"Hmph, with you, the two little girls will learn something."

Xiao Dang asked again: "Uncle Xu, aren't you going to show movies in the future?"

Xu Damao said angrily; "What movie will be shown? I will be the ticket inspector from now on."

Seeing Yi Weidong became angry, Xu Damao reached out and grabbed the four movie tickets, tore off the corners, stuffed the movie tickets to Yan Jiedi who was behind, and shouted: "Go in quickly, it will be bad luck to see you."

Yi Weidong smiled and said: "Brother Da Mao, you are really hopeless, you can't tell the difference!"

Shaking his head and entering the projection hall, Yan Jiedi encouraged with a smile: "Brother Da Mao, work hard, come on, maybe you can be a projectionist."

"you"

After sitting down, Xiao Dang was not in high spirits, and remembered the stick that had just entered, and said:

"Why do you think my brother is so stupid? He went in again within half a year after he came out."

Yi Weidong comforted: "Okay, don't think too much, everyone has different ideas, this time when he goes in, he will have time to think about why he is like this."

"I hope my brother can learn his lesson this time and be a good person after he comes out."

Without sticks making trouble in the courtyard, each family can live in peace and stability. Yi Weidong would pull a cart of livestock every few days. Most of them went into the space, but a small part was sent to the cafeteria by Yi Weidong. .

However, this was more meat than last year, and with some frozen fish in the middle, Yi Weidong also completed the task of purchasing live pigs this year.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day passed and before the Spring Festival, after dinner, Yi Weidong asked Yan Jiedi: "Sini, will the third master still have a meeting to collect sunflower seeds this year?"

Yan Jiedi rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Wei Dong, can't you say something else?"

"Don't I care about you?"

"Brother Weidong, do you want to hear it after I haven't called you Weidong for a long time?"

Yi Weidong said: "Yes, I also prepared two bottles of wine to honor the third master. It seems that there is no chance to give it away."

"You have to deliver it yourself, I won't take it for you."

After Yan Jiedi finished speaking, she went to check Sophora Sophora's homework.

After a while, Yi Weidong asked: "Xie Di, what's the matter? Did you quarrel with the third master and the third mother?"

"No, how dare I?" Yan Jiedi said calmly.

Yi Weidong looked at Yan Jiedi's twinkling eyes, then at Xiaodang and Sophora Sophorae who were doing their homework, got up and pulled Yan Jiedi outside.

Yan Jiedi struggled but was pulled out of the inverted room, Yan Jiedi said: "Relax, someone will see you later."

Only then did Yi Weidong give away his hand and said, "Let's come to my room and talk about anything."

The two entered the room in the backyard. Yi Weidong first added coal to the stove, then poured a cup of hot water for Yan Jiedi, and asked, "Xiedi, is something wrong?"

Yan Jiedi held the teacup and said after half the payment: "Just now I listened to my father and my mother discussing my affairs."

Yi Weidong said in surprise: "No, what can I discuss with you?"

Yan Jiedi laughed angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Wei Dong, are you trying to piss me off?"

"Go on, I won't interrupt."

Yan Jiedi patted his chest for a while, and said, "My mom told my dad not to study after finishing junior high school, and asked my dad to find a job and go to work!"

Yi Weidong was surprised by this news. Now Yi Weidong and Yan Jiedi are both in the third year of junior high school, and they still have half a year to graduate. Now they are discussing to find a job for Yan Jiedi.

Yi Weidong asked, "What did the third master say?"

"My dad was a little hesitant and was thinking about it. He said that my third brother only went to junior high school. Now that my second brother is getting married and the family is running out of money, I don't want to go to high school anymore."

"But your third brother Yan Jiekuang didn't get good grades and didn't get into high school. The eldest brother Yan Jiecheng and the second brother Yan Jiefang both went to high school?"

Yan Jiedi said worriedly: "Who says it's not! I can't do it here. I haven't taken the exam yet, so I want to find a job for me."

Yan Jiedi's grades are only slightly worse than Yi Weidong's, and the gap is only a little bit. There is no problem in getting into high school.

Yi Weidong persuaded: "Don't be discouraged, talk to the third master, it would be a pity if you don't go to high school with such good grades."

Yan Jiedi hesitated and said, "Brother Weidong, what if my dad doesn't let me go to school? I don't want to go to work."

The third master has this plan, and I don't know if Yan Jiedi can do the work of the third master, so as to give up the idea of ​​letting Yan Jiedi go to work instead of going to school.

But Yi Weidong can only say in a positive direction: "Xiedi, if your parents disagree, don't make any noise, isn't there me?"

Yan Jiedi asked: "If my dad really won't let me go to school, what can you do?"

Yi Weidong said: "You are a fan of the authorities, what are you afraid of if you have money, you can just spend it yourself?"

I went fishing several times this year, and Yan Jiedi has more than 500 yuan in hand, and there is no problem at all in high school.

Yan Jiedi worried: "But my money is not visible, so how do I spend it?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said: "I'll find a way for you, just say that you borrowed it from me, this won't work, just say that the uncle borrowed it, wouldn't that be enough?"

Yan Jiedi's eyes lit up, this is really a good idea, just tell the uncle, and the uncle will be named, and Yan Jiedi's money can be used.

He smiled and said, "Brother Weidong, let's do this, and I'll talk to my dad."

Speaking of getting up and about to leave, Yi Weidong shouted, "Sini, why are you so impatient."

"what happened?"

"Wait until the third master finds you."

"Oh, then I'm going back."

When Yi Weidong woke up the next day, he saw heavy snow falling outside the window again. He got up and cleaned up, had breakfast, and went back to the bed to sit and read novels.

After watching for a while, Xiao Dang came in and said in surprise: "Uncle Weidong, you didn't go to work today?"

Yi Weidong said, "With such heavy snowfall, going to the rolling mill is a crime."

"Uncle Weidong, you can't sit under the covers and read novels even if you don't go to work. The third grandpa is writing couplets at home. Let's go and have a look."

Only then did Yi Weidong remember that the couplets hadn't been written yet, and he had to tell the aunt to fix the couplets himself.

Yi Weidong lifted the quilt and was about to come down, Xiao Dang quickly turned around and said, "Uncle Weidong, I'm still here!"

Yi Weidong put on his shoes and smiled, "Xiao Dang, I'm all dressed."

Xiao Dang turned to see that Yi Weidong was fully dressed, and said, "Scare me."

Yi Weidong took a net bag, put two bottles of Niu Er and a stack of red paper, and said, "Let's go, find the third master to write couplets."

When I went out and looked at the heavy snow all over the sky, I cursed secretly: This damn weather.

Wrapped up in his coat, ran to the front yard, rushed into the door of the third master, shook the snow off his hat and coat, and quickly opened the curtain to enter the house.

Feeling that the indoor temperature is much colder than his own house, looking at the briquettes stove in the house, the third master is reluctant to get a bigger stove to burn.

The third master was writing couplets on the round table, while Yan Jiedi and the third mother were helping to cut a whole piece of red paper into a suitable size, and ran to Yan Jiedi with a smile to help fold the traces.

Yi Weidong smiled when he came in, "Third Master, I will trouble you to get old again."

The third master looked at the two bottles of liquor in Yi Weidong's net pocket, and said with a smile on his face, "It's Weidong who is here. Look at you, why don't you bring something for a little thing!"

"The third master is being polite, as it should be."

Yi Weidong handed the net bag to the third mother who came over, and also went to Yan Jiedi to help.

Yan Jiedi asked, "Why are you here?"

Yi Weidong said in a low voice: "Some people don't want to bring over the wine, so I can only bring it over by myself."

Fortunately, the sound was not too loud. The third mother took the wine and put it in the cupboard, and some of them were far away from hearing it.

Yan Jiedi stomped on Yi Weidong's shoes angrily: "Brother Weidong, I'm telling you to talk nonsense."

At this time, the third mother came over and scolded: "Si Ni, what are you doing? Are you bullying Wei Dong again?"

The third mother's words made Yan Jiedi's chest bulge out of anger, and she was speechless.

Yi Weidong quickly said: "Third Mom, Xie Di is playing with me!"

The third mother sat down and said, "Sini, I don't know how to pour Weidong a glass of water, why don't you hurry up?"

Yi Weidong shirked, "Don't bother, I'm not thirsty."

Yan Jiedi still got up to fetch hot water, Yi Weidong thanked him and took it.

Yi Weidong then cut the red paper to a suitable size, and also folded the marks to facilitate the writing of the third master. The words on the left and right sides must be flush, otherwise it will be ugly.

The third mother smiled and asked, "Weidong, do you always cook vegetables when you work in the cafeteria?"

Yi Weidong said: "How can I do it? The main thing is to chop vegetables. I have to chop hundreds of catties of vegetables a day, and I also need to fry a large pot of vegetables."

"That small stove is your brother's frying?"

"That's right, my brother is the squad leader who is in charge of the progress of the back kitchen, and also Chao Xiaozao is in charge of the reception table."

It was the third mother who asked about things in the cafeteria. After chatting for a while, the third mother talked about the recent marriage of the second brother Yan Jiefang and Zhang Luo.

Hearing these words, the woman's requirements are relatively high, which made the third master a little embarrassed, so Yi Weidong asked: "Third mother, are you planning to let Yan Jiedi not go to high school?"

"I have this plan. Isn't this already in the third grade of junior high school? It's enough for a girl to go to junior high school and read a newspaper."

Yan Jiedi muttered beside her: "I don't go to work, I still want to go to school."

The three mothers reprimanded: "What's the use of a girl studying so many books? Isn't it the same as going to work after graduation and getting married? Wouldn't it be better for you to study for three years instead of studying for three years?"

Going to school costs money, and if you don't go to school, you can save the money. If you go to work, you have to pay living expenses for your family. This addition and subtraction is a huge difference in money.

Yi Weidong asked: "Three mothers, the third master also agrees to Xie Di to go to work?"

"Isn't this still being discussed? If you don't go to work, you won't be able to solve the problem at home."

Yan Jiedi said angrily, "Anyway, I don't go to work."

"You child, why don't you listen to persuasion so much!" The third mother continued, "It's all for your own good. I can still save some money every month, and when I get married, I will be more beautiful."

Yan Jiedi's pretty face quickly turned red, and she glanced at Yi Weidong secretly, before saying, "Mom, what are you talking about, I don't want to marry!"

The third mother said directly: "If you don't marry, I will support you for the rest of your life. I can't afford it."

"Mom!~~"

The third master said over there: "Sini, isn't this still being discussed? There is still half a year left in high school, it's still early!"

Yan Jiedi stopped talking angrily, and the third mother sighed and chatted with Yi Weidong about other things.

After eating in the middle courtyard at noon, Yi Weidong went out of the courtyard to the Beixinqiao Department Store to buy some earth red firecrackers. As soon as he arrived at the corner outside the courtyard, he saw an old woman in a cotton-padded jacket carrying a parcel on the opposite side. Go straight to the courtyard.

Who is this, why does it look so familiar?Yi Weidong stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and soon the old woman came to Yi Weidong.

It was only then that Yi Weidong realized that it was Qin Huairu, a romantic young woman from the courtyard, who had returned. Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu, who had a single flower before, looked much older and thinner.

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Hey, Sister Qin is back?"

Qin Huairu looked up and saw that it was Yi Weidong who greeted him with a half-smile, and felt a burst of anger, and pulled his face and said: "Yi Weidong, are you waiting here to see my joke?"

Yi Weidong said hello with good intentions, but Qin Huairu would speak like this, and said directly: "Sister Qin, is there anyone like you? If it wasn't for the sake of Xiaodang and Huaihua, I would be lazy to talk to you."

Then he asked: "Sister Qin, ask me, how many years has Director Li Huaide been sentenced?"

"you"

Qin Huairu's lungs almost exploded. The matter between himself and Director Li was the deepest pain in his heart. Yi Weidong actually asked himself when Director Li would be released. Isn't this exposing his own scars?

Qin Huairu immediately took a deep breath, almost getting angry, and shouted: "Yi Weidong, you are not so proud, there are times when you are unlucky."

As he spoke, he passed Yi Weidong and walked into the courtyard.

Yi Weidong shook his head and said, "I'm really not polite, you can tell me if you know, I'm still very concerned about when Director Li will come out."

Yi Weidong entered the inverted room, saw Xiaodang and Huaihua were there, and asked with a smile:

"Xiao Dang and Huaihua, who do you think is here?"
