Chapter 324
Knowing that Yin Manshan came here often, every time he came, he would come to sit at home from time to time, so the sister-in-law also nodded in response.

After Li Xuewu explained, he left the house, allowing both sister-in-law and Zhao Yajun to let go of their emotions.

The Third Master and Yan Xiecheng were gone in the yard, Li Xuewu went directly to the back room.

Li Xuewu didn't see Yan Jiecheng, but Yan Jiecheng saw Li Xuewu.

Seeing Li Xuewu through the second door and into the screen door from the window, Yan Jieben wanted to say hello, so as to get rid of his nagging father.

But Li Xuewu's legs were fast, and before Yan Xiecheng could speak, he was already out of sight.

It turned out that the two were talking in the concierge. The concierge has been cleaned up well, and now it has become a holy place for whispering.

"Boss, it's not that Dad is forcing you, you have to listen to me explain the truth to you..."

Yan Jiecheng also has a big head now, Ge Shuqin has already got off the train, he went to the train station to pick him up, and now he is at the guest house of the rolling mill.

Even though Yan Xiecheng is an employee of a rolling mill, the hostel is not free, and it costs 5 cents a night.

High price?
But no, the price is basically the same across the country, and there are even higher prices, one yuan per night.

This is Yan Xiecheng's face for driving Li Xuewu, otherwise Ge Shuqin's letter of introduction said that he would not be able to live in the guest house of the rolling mill.

The pocket money that Yan Xiecheng saved before was only enough for Ge Shuqin to stay for two nights, that is to say, before the day after tomorrow, Yan Xiecheng had to solve the problem of Ge Shuqin's resettlement.

"Dad, Dad, listen to me first"

Yan Jiecheng interrupted his father with a wave of his hand, then looked outside in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Dad, you have to lend me some money."

"What's the matter?"

Hearing that Yan Jiecheng wanted to borrow money, Yan Fugui jumped up and bit him.

Ever since Yan Fugui moved to the Forty-Nine City, he really hasn't lent any money, and the money is all on his ribs.

Now that Yan Xiecheng wants to borrow money, isn't it like holding a vise down and pressing down.

Seeing his father's reaction, Yan Jiecheng was also a little anxious. This is the only one who can save his life. He would never dare to ask Yu Li for money.

"Hey Dad, listen to me, I will borrow 20, no, 15, you only need to lend me 15 yuan"

"Not even a dime!"

Yan Fugui changed his previous attitude of discussing the house with his son, just like a landlord in the old society, he raised his hand and said, "Our family doesn't have any money!"

"Don't lie to me, I will get your bicycle compensation back from you."

Yan Jiecheng has been deceived by his father so many times that he no longer believes his father's words.

"Then... the compensation is not for buying a car?"

Yan Fugui faltered and explained where the money went, and then discussed: "Why don't you wait for me to pay the salary? First solve the problem of your brother's house."

"When you get paid..."

Yan Xiecheng's eyes lit up when he heard his father talk about the house and money.

Then he thought of something, and swallowed the words in his mouth again.

But thinking about the person staying in the guest house, and thinking about the refreshment in the afternoon, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Dad, didn't you say you would take half of the house? You can give it to me now"

"Really?"

Yan Fugui looked at his eldest son suspiciously and asked, "Have you discussed it with Yu Li? Are you really determined to give your brother half of the house?"

Yan Xiecheng said with twinkling eyes: "You just give it to me, and I can make the big decisions at home."

"That's what you said!"

Yan Fugui pointed at Yan Jiecheng and said, "When I take the money, you will have to give your brother a house."

Yan Jiecheng heard that his father was willing to take the money, so he thought about solving the immediate problem first.

"Okay, okay, building a house and renovating the east courtyard costs a thousand yuan, our family occupies 500 yuan, and you can give me 250 yuan."

"What the hell? What kind of house, it's so expensive!"

Yan Jiecheng said impatiently: "Dad, there is no virtue in that courtyard. It can be completed without renovation. Besides, it is a new house. Do you think we live in a stable?".

Yan Fugui thought about it, and knew that the current housing shortage, two hundred and five is two hundred and fifty, as long as he can live in it.

"You wait, I'll go home and get the money from your mother"

After talking, Yan Fugui went out to go home.

Yan Xiecheng watched his father go out, thinking in his mind what the 250 yuan was enough for.

It is impossible to buy a house in this city, but it is okay to rent a house, but I have to find a place far away from home, so as not to crash into a car.

The rent at this time is really cheap, and the rental of public housing is not one-size-fits-all, everything is the same price.

According to the quality of the house, it will be divided into five grades. The first grade: small tile roof, with ceiling and floor or with ceiling and no floor, with better natural conditions, good wood quality, complete window panes, painted walls or siding.

Class [-]: Ordinary tile houses or thatched houses, broken bricks or mud floors, old glass windows or old-fashioned wooden windows, dark light, unpainted or peeling walls, poor quality of houses or low terrain.

从一等到五等,收费标准每平方公尺分别为7分、6分、5分、4.5分、3.5分。

While Yan Jiecheng was calculating where to rent a house, Yan Fugui opened the door and walked in.

"This is two hundred and five"

When Yan Jiecheng saw his father brought the money, he smiled and wanted to pick it up, but Yan Fugui took his hand back.

"and many more"

Yan Fugui took out a piece of paper, a pen and ink pads from his pocket.

"Boss, you put this matter on paper first"

"What?"

Now it was Yan Jiecheng's turn to get annoyed.

"Dad, what's the matter? I gave my brother the house, not me!"

Yan Fugui said with a bitter face: "This is what your mother meant, and I can't help it. Your mother said that we have separated after all, and it is not easy to say if the accounts are not clear."

Yan Xiecheng looked at his father, knowing that his mother didn't think so much, it must be his own idea.

I thought about not wanting his father's money anymore, but thinking about the happy life in the future, I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, I will write."

While talking, he picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Today, the father will pay 250 yuan for the rent, and half of the house will be shared with the younger brother..."

"How can you write like this? Are you writing essays with me?"

Yan Fugui frowned and pointed at the paper and said, "Who recognizes me as your father in black and white? Besides, when was the house built? Where is the house? What you wrote has no basis, it's just a piece of waste paper."

"Then how do you say it?"

Yan Fugui took out another piece of paper from his pocket and said, "I knew you couldn't write it once, so here it is."

While speaking, he handed the blank paper to Yan Xiecheng and said, "I say you write it."

Yan Jiecheng felt that he hadn't fooled his father, so he could only take the blank paper and write it again.

"Today's discussion with Yan Fugui has been decided, and the house in the east courtyard of No. 99 Nanluogu Lane this year..."

Before Yan Fugui finished speaking, Yan Xiecheng interrupted: "Father, do you have to indicate whose house is here? There is still someone in the Li family's house in Dongkuayuan."

"Yeah"

Yan Fugui smiled and nodded: "You have to indicate that it is your house, I can share the house of Li's family."

Under the watchful eyes of his father, Yan Xiecheng wrote: "Today, after discussing with Yan Fugui, it has been decided that the house that Yan Xiecheng belongs to in the East Kuayuan, No. 99 Courtyard, Nanluoguxiang, will be located this year."

Yan Fugui nodded with a smile, and continued: "After the construction is completed, Yan Jiefang will be given a room. Yan Fugui will be responsible for the construction cost of the house, which is 250 yuan, which should be capitalized here."

While speaking, Yan Fugui pointed to the back of the number and asked Yan to solve it in uppercase.

When Yan Xiecheng heard that his father agreed to divide the house under his name, he felt instantly relieved.

That's right, it's under his name, not Yu Li's, so there's no problem.

"Okay, okay, capitalized, right?"

"Uh-huh"

Seeing his son's cooperation, Yan Fugui continued: "The payment for building the house has been received. Here, sign your name and write the date."

“good good”

Yan Jiecheng signed his name, and pressed his fingerprint happily.

"Dad, give me the money"

"Wait a minute, I'm done signing"

Yan Fugui signed his name on the paper, pressed his fingerprint, and then gave the money to Yan Xiecheng.

"Boss, once the fingerprint is pressed and the money is paid, you can't be fooled. Our family only has such a small amount of money. Your mother's coffin and I are here."

“good good”

Yan Jiecheng took the money and counted with his saliva, his face full of joy.

Although Yan Fugui is picky, he still has the basic morals of being a human being. If he said two hundred and fifty, he would definitely not lose a dime.

"Okay Dad, it's just right, I'm leaving"

Yan Fugui looked at the money in his eldest son's hand distressedly, and wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth again, watching his son go out and walk away.

Seeing the boss so happy, Yan Fugui always felt uneasy.

But after looking at the black and white letters on the table, he felt that the house would not be yellow anymore, so Yan Fugui carefully put away the receipt.

Yan Jiecheng happily entered the inverted room, saw Li Xuewu and the others playing cards, and greeted everyone with a smile.

When he wanted to see his wife, he saw Yu Li turned around and went to the kitchen, and said to Li Xuewu with some embarrassment: "Section Chief, what, I'm back on duty in the factory."

"Let's go after the New Year's Eve dinner, what time is it?"

Li Xuewu flicked a 2, turned around and said something to Yan Xiecheng, but he didn't pay attention to Yan Xiecheng's expression.

It wasn't that he was short of time, but that Yan Xiecheng was afraid that his father would repent, or that he saw something, so he wanted to run away early.

The other one is what is there to do here, the factory has...

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile: "No, there is food in the factory, and you can earn overtime pay in the factory."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu was pinching the cards in his hand, and he didn't think about Yan Jiecheng.

Seeing Li Xuewu playing cards, Yan Xiecheng agreed to himself again, then turned and left the house.

When I passed by the kitchen, I saw my daughter-in-law squatting in front of the stove door with the sticker "God speaks good things, descending to earth to bring auspiciousness" to fill firewood, and she didn't look up at herself.

"Yu...Yu Li, I'm back at the rolling mill."

"Um"

Yu Li looked at the flames on the wood without raising her head.

Yan Jiecheng knew that Yu Li was still angry, and it was the kind that could not be coaxed easily, so he murmured: "I...I...".

Yu Li waited for Yan Xiecheng for a long time, but then I heard the door slamming.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the door, no one was there at the moment.

Tears flowed down Yu Li's cheeks, just happened to be stared at by Qin Huairu who walked into the kitchen.

When Yu Li saw someone coming in, she lowered her head and put her face on her knees, not wanting others to see her crying.

Qin Huairu first took the kettle to the water tank and made a pot of cold water, and then put the pot on the stove.

"Well, give"

Yu Li looked at the handkerchief handed over in front of her, raised her head and saw Qin Huairu standing in front of her.

"It's Chinese New Year, why are you crying?"

Seeing Yu Li crying sadly in the rain, Qin Huairu also knelt down and wiped Yu Li's tears with the handkerchief in his hand.

"Sister Qin, woo woo woo~"

Yu Li couldn't bear it anymore, threw herself into Qin Huairu's arms and started crying.

Qin Huairu knew that Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had an awkward relationship, but he didn't know why.

Seeing that Yan Xiecheng is not at home for the New Year and insists on going back to the rolling mill, it must be that the awkwardness between the two of them has not healed.

"Okay, okay, what's wrong with you, I'll talk to him when I get back to work"

"Sister Qin, I can't make it through"

Yu Li said with tears: "I went to the rolling mill to look for him this afternoon, thinking that he would not come back, so I brought him food, but... woo woo woo."

Qin Huairu hugged Yu Li's head, wondering what happened to Yu Li and why she was crying so sadly.

"What's the matter?"

Yu Li cried for a while before sobbing and said: "He raised a woman in the guest house."

"What?"

Qin Huairu raised Yu Li's face and asked, "When did it happen? Why don't I know?"

Yu Li cried and said: "About today's matter, I asked the waiter below, the one who lives in today, woohoo."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's his woman?"

"woooooo"

Yu Li nodded and said: "I saw with my own eyes the two hugging and kissing at the door...".

"This bastard"

Qin Huairu hugged Yu Li and cursed, and then said: "You wait, tomorrow I will go to the rolling mill and kick her out."

"woooooo"

Yu Li shook her head and said, "No need, let him take care of it. If he can follow him, he can take care of it, woo woo woo."

Qin Huairu wiped Yu Li's tears with a handkerchief, looked into Yu Li's eyes and asked, "Does he know?"

This time Yu Li knew who Qin Huairu was asking, she nodded with tears in her mouth and said, "I should know, the waiter said that the letter of introduction is from Gangcheng, which is where they are on business trip this time."

"Ugh……"

Qin Huairu sighed, hugging Yu Li and didn't know what to do.

"You didn't mention it to him this afternoon?"

Now that Yu Li has been wronged, the one who can speak is "good sister" Qin Huairu.

And Qin Huairu also knew that in this courtyard, Yu Li in front of her was the one who would hurt herself the least.

Li Xuewu is going to get married after all, and neither of them can get it. All he can do is to serve that living ancestor well.

"I didn't dare to mention it, he was tired at the time."

Qin Huairu said bitterly: "You still feel sorry for him at this time, men are not good things."

Although he scolded the man, Qin Huairu still said: "You still have to tell him about this, and let him make up your mind. After all, a woman's eyes can only see the area in front of her eyes." .

Yu Li just cried and didn't know what to do.

Qin Huairu looked down at Yu Li and asked, "I heard you arguing before they left, what are you going to do now? If you want to deal with that vixen, I'll go with you, and I promise to tear her face down."

Yu Li shook her head and said, "I've given up on him. It doesn't matter if he's a wimp, or he doesn't want to make progress, or he doesn't have money or a house. Let him suffer in the future."

"what do you mean?"

Qin Huairu asked in surprise, "Do you want a divorce?"

Yu Li nodded and said: "I can't go on, it's boring."

"It's a man after all"

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "You don't know a person's suffering, but I know it when you think about it."

Yu Li put her arms around Qin Huairu and said: "What kind of man is he, he can do nothing but piss people off, and I can be quiet and worry-free by myself."

Qin Huairu patted Yu Li on the back, sighed and said, "Apart from this, can you point to him?"

Yu Li shook her head and said, "At first I didn't plan to point at him, except for the house, I asked for a pair of shoes from him, and the fabric for the padded jacket was given to me by Yan Xiecheng's hand from him."

"Ugh……"

Qin Huairu knew that Yu Li was different from him, that Yu Li had no burden, she could leave as soon as she said she wanted to, and she couldn't do anything if she dared to love or hate.

"I don't know how to persuade you. I can only say that Yan Jiecheng is the one who is happy for you to do this, and those two people are the ones who made it happen."

"No"

Yu Li also wanted to understand now, and said with firm eyes: "I am the one who is happy, and I am also the one who makes me happy."

Qin Huairu frowned and said, "Where do you live after divorce? Go back to your mother's house?"

Yu Li shook her head and said: "The house in the east courtyard is mine, and my name is written on it, and the divorce is also mine. If I want to live here, I will live here."

Qin Huairu really felt that he should re-examine this little daughter-in-law, was he already prepared?
"But, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Yu Li looked at Qin Huairu and said, "He doesn't even feel embarrassed, so I have nothing to be embarrassed about."

Touching Yu Li's hair, Qin Huairu nodded and said, "It's up to you, I can't do anything about it."

"Thank you"

Yu Li hugged Qin Huairu and said, "Thank you, Sister Qin".

Qin Huairu smiled lightly and said, "Stop competing with me?"

"Um"

Yu Li shook her head slightly and said, "From now on, you will be my own sister."

"What are you two doing?"

Li Xuewu got off the kang and was about to go out to pee, but he saw the two "sisterly affectionate" hugging each other in the kitchen.

"Go! I've never seen a woman hugging each other!"

Qin Huairu scolded Li Xuewu, then pointed at Yu Li and said something with her lips.

Li Xuewu quickly opened the door and went out to pee.

Women at the moment can't afford to be provoked, can't afford to be provoked.

When Li Xuewu came back, there was no one in the kitchen, and when he entered the back room, he saw the two of them sitting together chatting with those old men and women in Kangshao.

After all, the energy of the elderly group is limited, and they have played the leaf card all afternoon, and now there is a truce.

The second master sat with a table of old ladies, women, and young daughters-in-law, reminiscing about the past, and talking about the past Chinese New Year.

Yu Li had already wiped away her tears. Although her eyes were red now, everyone tacitly didn't mention it.

Qin Huairu sat next to Yu Li, took Yu Li's hand, and talked about things in the village from time to time.

Li Xuewu hung up the military coat on his shoulders again, glanced at Qin Huairu and Yu Li and went to the poker table again.

Shen Guodong yelled after Lao Biaozi all afternoon, his voice became hoarse, and he gave up his seat to Li Xuewu to play poker.

The poker table is full of young people, so the fighting power is long-lasting,

Lao Biaozi and Li Xuecai led Xiaoyan'er, and Li Xuewu led Yang Erhai and He Yushui, so they were evenly matched.

Li Xuewu counted the playing cards, then looked at the cards in Lao Biaozi's hand and asked, "Did you steal the cards?"

The old Biaozi called Qu in surprise: "How is it possible, I still use stealing cards when playing with you? I can beat you all over the floor with your eyes closed."

Li Xuewu looked suspiciously, then threw a 5.

Several people started to play this hand, and at the last few cards, Li Xuewu threw the cards in his hand and rushed to Lao Biaozi.

"You said you won't steal cards. Xiao Yan'er just played an ace. Where did you get these four aces?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Lao Biaozi was caught by Li Xuewu and could only laugh hahaha.

"I just said why I can't catch him all the time, there are always good cards"

He Yushui also smiled and pinched Lao Biaozi who was dragged to the poker table by Li Xuewu.

Except for Li Xuecai and Xiao Yan'er who were with Lao Biaozi, Li Xuewu and his group all beat Lao Biaozi.

Li Xuewu flicked Lao Biaozi's head hard, and said with a smile: "I know you have a criminal record, so I have suspected you for a long time."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Standing in the kang, stick stem pointed to Yushui and said, "I also saw Aunt Yushui stole a 2."

"I saw it too!"

Sophora japonica knelt on the kang pointing at little Yan'er and said, "Aunt Yan'er also stole it, I saw it, a 6".

"Hahahaha"

Lao Biaozi laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, he leaned on the table and twitched with laughter.

Li Xuewu also laughed angrily, and said: "I have fallen into a den of thieves. I just said that the number of cards in this poker is wrong. Not counting the ones in my hand, I have played more than 60 cards."

He Yushui covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Biaozi stole it first, and besides, whoever plays poker still remembers the number of cards."

Lao Biaozi sat up straight and said with a smile, "Don't talk about playing poker, Brother Wu. Even if you play mahjong, you will remember Zhang'er. Whoever plays will remember everything. After the game, he will know what cards you have in your hand."

Shen Guodong sat on the fire wall, nodded with a smile and said: "Brother Wu used to take us to the park to cheat the old man of money."

"Do you still have this glorious history?"

He Yushui stared at Li Xuewu in disbelief, as if what these people said was not the same as Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu pushed away the big head of Lao Biaozi, put away the poker and washed it in his hands, and said with a smile: "At that time, when I was young, I was hungry and impatient, so I didn't have any tricks. Don't talk about mahjong, just memorize the lottery."

"Your brain is really good"

Yushui nodded and said, "I've never heard of such a powerful person."

Li Xuewu put the shuffled cards in the middle, and several people started to draw cards.

"It's much more powerful. Earlier, Qianmen Street was full of these places for playing cards. Whoever has no skills can go in and come out with bare buttocks?"

The second master and the others stopped talking when they saw the fight here, and watched the excitement here with a smile. When Li Xuewu talked about the gambling room, the second master nodded and said, "It's that kind of gambler."

Then he told the story of the old Sijiucheng who went bankrupt. He was the head of a pawnshop, so don't see too much about it.

When it was eleven o'clock at night, Sha Zhu took Qin Huairu, Yu Li, Xiao Yan'er's mother, Wen San's daughter-in-law, and the elderly group to start making dumplings.

Qin Huairu and Yu Li couldn't keep up with these people's wrappers when they rolled the dumpling wrappers.

Today, there are [-] people, old and young, who eat dumplings in the inverted room. Everyone can get together the noodles and dumpling fillings, otherwise it would not be enough to eat.

Li Xuewu's side is full of young men, so they take more noodles and meat, and the deaf old lady like Zhu and Qin Huairu didn't ask for it.

Dumplings were wrapped on the side of the kang, and the two tables on the kang continued to play cards.

When the dumplings were almost finished, Sha Zhu went to the kitchen again and started cooking.

Because it was cut out before, it is also quick to fry in the pan.

This side is busy eating to catch up with God, the mahjong table is scattered, and the poker side is also scattered.

Li Shun took Li Xuecai back home, while Li Xuewu and the others went to the courtyard to light the fire, which was the place reserved long ago.

Lao Biaozi and Wen San'er also used snow to make fire prevention measures nearby in the morning.

The old saying is that on New Year's Eve, a fire should be lit in the courtyard. The south may be called the New Year Fire, and it must be kept until dawn.

Li Xuewu's guess may be related to the genetic habits of primitive people. As for the ignition, it may also be the most primitive firecrackers, that is, burning bamboo on a fire to make a crackling sound.

"Are the back yard lights on?"

Grandpa was standing in the west courtyard wearing a coat, watching Li Xuewu and others led a group of children to light the fire, and asked Li Xuewu about the lights in the backyard.

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "It's on."

Lao Biaozi put his hand in and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, why do you need to light the lamp?"

Grandpa looked at Lao Biaozi and smiled and said: "It's a feudal superstition. In the early days, the fire was lit in the courtyard, then candles and oil lamps were lit, and later when there were electric lights, the lamps were lit."

"What are you doing?"

Wen San'er threw the big log in his hand into the fire, his parents were late, and no one told him about it.

Grandpa explained with a smile: "According to the waste, it is also called according to the year. It is said that the wealth of the family will be enriched in the coming year."

After explaining, grandpa asked, "Do you believe it?"

Wen San'er said with certainty: "Believe me, I will throw two more pieces of wood, and our family will definitely have a lot of money next year!"

"Hahahahaha!"

At this time, there is no taboo about not being able to make money, and everyone laughs at San'er's greed for money.

The bonfire was lit, and several children ran and played around the bonfire, while Li Xuewu and others stood by the fire and chatted.

Wen San'er and Lao Biaozi stood next to Li Xuewu on one left and one on the right. Everyone else knew that Li Xuewu must have something to say, so they all stood apart.

Smoking a cigarette, Lao Biaozi said softly: "Director Ma's family sent fish and meat, and I also stuffed the three children with lucky money, great unity."

Wen San'er leaned on the ground with the wood in his hand and said: "Don't feel bad, you should give it."

After saying something to Lao Biaozi, Wen San'er continued: "I gave the cigarettes from the waste company, and the melon seeds and sugar from the street. I also stuffed a cigarette with Director Liu."

Li Xuewu said with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's all courtesy, what did Director Wang say when you gave something today?"

"No"

Wen San'er shook his head and said, "I should be planning to tell you."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Let's talk about it later, don't worry, but this year we have to pay attention and be prepared at all times. I will go to the Northeast next year, and there should be goods when I come back."

Wen San'er nodded and said, "There are still people looking for it in Pigeon City."

Li Xuewu shook his head and said, "Break it, the rabbit's tail is broken."

"understood"

Wen San'er nodded and said: "What I have mastered is enough now, pointing to this yard is enough for us to eat."

Li Xuewu glanced at Wen San'er and said: "Where is this going? Keep your roots down, don't drift away, wait for my news, I will take you to play a big game."

Lao Biaozi and Wen San'er stared at Li Xuewu.

"Isn't it too big now? We have tens of thousands of operating funds here."

Li Xuewu pointed to the rags in the yard and said, "Show all of this and calculate how much money we have? The operating funds are tens of thousands, and the debts are also tens of thousands."

"Before May, try to reduce the inventory, don't overwhelm the broken ones, collect them at any time, and send them away when you have enough cars"

Wen San'er flicked the cigarette butt into the bonfire, and said with a smile: "The guidelines for the first half of this year are in place, leave the rest to us."

Li Xuewu bumped Wen San'er with his shoulder with a smile, and then asked: "Add one more to the guidelines, give birth to a precious child early."

"Hey hey hey"

Wen San'er looked at the inverted room, then smiled and said: "I'm working hard."

"Come on, let's go, how about you?"

After Wen San'er finished speaking, Li Xuewu turned his head to Lao Biaozi.

Lao Biaozi said with a smile: "I'm working hard too."

Li Xuewu tapped Lao Biaozi's stomach and said: "Touch and touch to see if there is anyone you like. I will find you a house to get married, all paid."

"Uh-huh"

Lao Biaozi agreed, and followed Shen Guodong and Yang Erhai who were standing across from him, blinking, with a smirk on his face.

The two came over and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about, this expression?"

Lao Biaozi said with a smirk, "Tell me about you and Xiao Yan'er."

Shen Guodong blushed when he heard what Lao Biaozi said, looked at Li Xuewu, and then jumped up to pinch Lao Biaozi's neck.

Lao Biaozi was still laughing while being pinched, and he still yelled: "You have done everything and you still won't let people...".

Shen Guodong blushed and covered Lao Biaozi's mouth to prevent him from speaking. Lao Biaozi struggled hard, and everyone around the fire watched the excitement.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked Wen San'er: "When did it happen?"

Wen San'er shook his head with a smile and said, "How do I know, just like I don't know how he knows about me, this bastard is too sensitive about these things."

"Ha ha ha ha"

The children didn't know what happened, but they still laughed happily when they saw Lao Biaozi fighting.

Shen Guodong dragged Lao Biaozi to the side. After signing some unequal treaties, the proud Lao Biaozi and the blushing Shen Guodong came back.

"This is a good thing, why are you embarrassed to say it?"

Li Xuewu put his hands in his coat pockets and asked Shen Guodong with a smile.

Shen Guodong blushed shyly and remained silent.

On the other hand, Lao Biaozi said in a strange voice: "I'm afraid others will say that the old cow eats young grass."

"You also said, what did you promise me just now?"

Shen Guodong grabbed Lao Biaozi and murmured in a low voice, wanting to strangle this bastard to death.

Lao Biaozi "hehe" defended and said: "I didn't mention you, I said my third uncle."

Shen Guodong didn't believe it, and stretched his cold hand directly into Lao Biaozi's neck.

Seeing the two playing tricks, the big guy laughed again.

At this time, Yushui and Xiaoyan'er came from the courtyard door of the inverted room, calling for everyone to welcome God.

"I'm going to eat right now, let God go home quickly"

Before this big dumpling banquet, some dumplings are to be served to the ancestors or ancestors of the family first, and there will be other sacrificial dishes if conditions permit.

Sha Zhu had already prepared for each family. The dumplings were put into the pot first, and they were placed in bowls, and then the dishes were put together on a large plate, plus the red date steamed buns sent by the Li family at noon.

This can be regarded as the richest New Year's Eve dinner for the ancestors of these families for so many years.

Daye, Shazhu, and Jiazhang brought their sticks, and each of the three families brought the prepared sacrifices and went home to worship their ancestors.

Shen Guodong's house was close, so he filled the dumplings and vegetables and took them back home by bike, because there was an old lady at home.

Li Xuewu needs to go back to his home to worship his ancestors tomorrow because of the separation of his family. Although the distance is so close, the rules are the same.

Grandpa and Second Master paid their respects in the east room.

Everyone was busy going back to worship their ancestors, and only Li Xuewu and Lao Biaozi, the "children of the side branch", were left standing and chatting beside the bonfire.

"Learning martial arts"

Li Xuewu was mumbling something along with Lao Biaozi when he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, so he turned around slowly.

"Yu Shui, didn't you go home with Brother Zhuzi to worship your ancestors?"

Seeing that the rain was coming, Lao Biaozi went to the firewood pile to move firewood.

Seeing Li Xuewu's weird movements, Yushui asked with a smile, "Why is it like this...is your neck twisted?"

Li Xuewu shook his neck and said, "No one told you that there is a light on each of the left and right shoulders of a person, and a light on the top of the head. When someone calls you at night, don't look back suddenly."

Yu Shui glared at Li Xuewu reproachfully, and said, "You take me for...".

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Li Xuewu's index finger in front of his mouth.

"It's New Year's Eve, don't talk nonsense, hehe"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Actually, this is to prevent wolves. When wolves attack people in the wild, they just slap people on the shoulder, and then tear people's throats when they turn their heads. Now it has evolved into a rule to prevent those things."

Yushui raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then you mean I'm a wolf?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Shui and smiled, and said: "Don't mention it, it didn't look like it just now, but now it looks a bit like it when it's angry."

Seeing Li Xuewu laughing, Yushui also laughed angrily.

After Li Xuewu finished laughing, Yushui looked at the people around him, and then asked softly, "Is the trial over?"

Li Xuewu knew that He Yushui would come to ask this.

"It's almost done, it's involved in another case, and another case may need to be investigated"

He Yushui nodded, turned his eyes to stare at the campfire and said, "If...".

"No if"

Li Xuewu interrupted: "There are no what-ifs in life."

Yushui nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't understand until now that it is too late for these three words, which is the most painful and helpless thing in the world."

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu put his hands in his pockets, kicked the broken wood under his feet, and said with a smile: "There are many painful things in the world. Once the gods in Journey to the West make mistakes, the biggest punishment is to be demoted to the world. You Talk about how miserable the world is.”

Tasting Li Xuewu's poisonous chicken soup, Yushui stood by Li Xuewu's side, watching Xiaodang, Huaihua and the children in the yard laughing and laughing around the campfire, with eyes full of envy.

"When I was young, I thought that all the unhappiness could be saved when I grew up, but now I realize that all the problems start when I grow up"

Li Xuewu nodded, and said in agreement: "Everyone is unhappy at times, and everyone is stuck with problems. Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory."

Yushui turned to look at Li Xuewu and asked, "How do you regulate your emotions? Or how do you solve the problem?"

"Me? Um..."

Li Xuewu frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I don't seem to have endured any emotions, ha ha, so I have been beaten a lot, as for the problem."

Squeezing his chin, Li Xuewu looked at Yushui and said, "If there is a problem that cannot be solved, then I will solve the person who caused the problem."

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Yushui was taken aback for a moment, and then covered his mouth and laughed.

"You can really fool"

Li Xuewu also narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Yes, I am the best at fooling around, hehehehe".

He Yushui, who didn't believe Li Xuewu's words, is fine now, but those who didn't believe it before are now... This year is difficult, and the soil on some graves is frozen hard.

"It's dinner, it's dinner"

Silly Zhu stood at the door of the inverted room with a broken voice and shouted, and everyone went to the inverted room.

"Come, come, wash your hands, and then quickly get on the kang, you can't stand on the ground anymore"

Silly Zhu stood at the door of the back room, and there were three washbasins in the kitchen and at the door for everyone to wash their hands.

After Li Xuewu let his grandma and others sit at the first table, he took Lao Biaozi and others to sit at the second table.

The remaining table was occupied by women with children.

Qin Huairu and Yu Li brought Xiao Yan'er and others to put dishes and dumplings on the table plate by plate, while Er Hai'er boiled a pot of white wine in a large pot and poured wine for everyone on the table.

After the dishes are all set up and the dumplings are set up, it's time for New Year's greetings.

Young people celebrating the New Year here today include Li Xuewu and Lao Biaozi who are not married, and children include Banggen, Xiaodang, Huaihua, and Zhang Xinmin.

"New Year's greetings to the old lady"

Silly Zhu stood aside and directed. First, Li Xuewu and other young people clasped their hands and said auspicious words to the old lady, grandma, second master and others.

"Dragon-horse spirit, good luck in everything, longevity and well-being..."

Li Xuewu, Lao Biaozi and others gave Wen San'er a new year's greeting in a funny way, and wished Wen San'er "early birth to a precious son" in unison, which made everyone laugh.

The children even stared at Li Xuewu and the others, ready to imitate the auspicious words they said.

Wen San'er had a big face, waved his hand and gave each of them a ten-cent red envelope, unlike Fei Shanying, who was already blushing now.

The young ones are children after paying New Year's greetings.

Sha Zhu commanded again, led by the stick, first kneeling on the ground to kowtow to the old lady, grandma and others, imitating Li Xuewu and others to say the auspicious words of longevity and well-being.

The old lady took out the red envelopes she had prepared long ago, and gave one to Banggen. The grandma, second master and others were happy today, and they also gave red envelopes.

Then Xiaodang and Huaihua learned the sticks to give New Year greetings to everyone, and they all received red envelopes.

It was the turn of Wen San'er's son, three-year-old Zhang Xinmin, to pay New Year's greetings. Seeing the children in front of them all holding red envelopes and smiling happily, he knew it was a good thing.

After learning the stick, he first knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady and others.

"Wish... wish... wish..."

Zhang Xinmin got stuck when he was speaking auspicious words. He blinked his small eyes and looked around, trying to ask his mother for help.

Silly Zhu stood aside and saw that the child had forgotten the words, so he reminded him: "Fushou Ankang".

Zhang Xinmin was reminded by Sha Zhu, and remembered the auspicious words said by those people before, and said loudly excitedly: "I wish my wife and grandpa a happy and healthy life, and an early baby!"

"what?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

The elderly group who were sitting on the kang waiting for the auspicious words would tear the kang open in embarrassment.

The young people laughed so hard that they fell on the kang, and Shazhu laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up against the wall.

"Hehe...hehe...hahahahaha"

Zhang Xinmin didn't know what happened. Seeing everyone laughing, he was forced to laugh too.

In the end, the old lady and others gave Xiao Xinmin a red envelope.

Everyone was still smiling when they were eating dumplings at the table, only Wen San'er was pinched by his wife and grinned.

Dumplings are like wine, the more you drink, the more delicious you are.

Today, Lao Biaozi and others opened their stomachs to eat, and opened their stomachs to drink. What's more rare is that the atmosphere today is good.

The women and children finished eating first, and the children ran out to play. The women were not busy picking up tables, and sat chatting on the kang.

Seeing that the wine was gone, Xiao Yan'er went down to the kang to warm and pour wine for everyone.

While pouring wine for Li Xuewu, Li Xuewu smiled and tapped Xiaoyan'er's hand and asked in a low voice: "The truth is your brother Guodong?"

Hearing Li Xuewu's question, Xiao Yan'er's face turned red, and even the jug in her hand was about to be crushed.

He wanted to tell Li Xuewu, but he still glanced at his mother.

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If you are in love, you will be in love. You are my own sister, and I will decide your affairs for you."

Xiao Yan'er took another look at Shen Guodong, who was sitting beside Lao Biaozi with a blushing face and smiling honestly, and lowered her head shyly.

Li Xuewu asked amusedly: "Or did I get it wrong? Did you fall in love with your brother Biao?"

"No, it's Brother Guodong~"

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Xiao Yan'er suddenly raised her head and quickly corrected her.

But seeing Li Xuewu's smirk, and seeing the eyes of everyone on the table looking at him, he stuffed the jug into Li Xuewu's hand angrily and said, "Brother Wu, why are you doing this? I'm ignoring you!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Li Xuewu took Xiao Yan'er's arm and said with a smile: "If you are in love, you will be in love. What's so embarrassing? You two can make it, I'm too happy for it."

Holding the glass of wine, Lao Biaozi said with a hurt face, "Yan'er, it's in vain that I treat you so well. Your brother Biao really broke his heart today."

Seeing Lao Biaozi's appearance, Xiao Yan'er anxiously explained: "It's not Brother Biao, it's not...".

But what should I say about this explanation? Even though he used to be unambiguous when dealing with customers in the past, he couldn't explain it now.

Seeing Shen Guodong winking at her again, Xiao Yan'er still doesn't understand that she was cheated by Brother Biao again.

"Brother Biao! You should learn something from Brother Wu!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Little Yan'er ignored these scoundrels, shook off Li Xuewu's hand, and ran back to Kang Shao'er's table.
