A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 142

It is natural for people to think about themselves.

You don't know the pain when you cut someone else's flesh, but you don't know how uncomfortable it is until it's your turn.

Father Deng is now under fifty and will be more than ten years away from retirement.

If it is possible to go further, the next time and opportunity will be enough for him to make full use of it.

The same goes for the second oldest member of the Deng family. He is only at level 27. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, it is almost certain that he can climb a few more levels.

It is already clear how these two people will choose.

Li Xiang glanced in the direction of Li's mother, and the two elders led the two little girls out.

This time the Deng family did not stop him.

The elder realized it first and walked over to whisper a few words to the elder in the courtyard.

The uncle here asked everyone to disperse, and that was the end of it.

Although everyone still had some unfinished thoughts, they finally walked home sparsely.

Before leaving, Li Xiang reminded the Deng family: "Women care about their families. They don't ask their parents to treat them fairly, but they ask not to be treated too harshly."

On the Li family's side, Li's mother and eldest sister were also comforting Xiuxiu.

Let her stay here for two days with peace of mind. There is no need to rush back. Let her cool down first.

This is the first time Xiuxiu has stayed with the Li family. In the past, her eldest sister usually came to play with her.

Because Xiuxiu is not as free as her elder sister and always has endless work to do, the two younger sisters can only do the work and talk at the same time.

That night, Li's mother also held a small welcome ceremony for Xiu Xiu.

Hmm~ Just added an extra dish.

Little Brother Li has a good impression of this gentle and gentle-speaking young lady, unlike his eldest sister who always yells at him and likes to hit others.

For the first time, he took the initiative to scoop a spoonful of egg custard for Xiuxiu.

"Sister Xiuxiu, these eggs are tender, please eat more."

The other three looked at the enthusiastic Little Brother Li strangely, feeling that this boy was not normal.

This kid must have fallen in love with Xiu Xiu.

Li Xiangru thought, and then quickly shook his head, no, no, no, what?

How could he miss his little brother so much, how old is he?

In this way, Xiuxiu stayed at the Li family for less than two days before the Deng family's parents came to take her back.

After their repeated assurances, Xiu Xiucai gave up his doubts and went home with them.

This fuss was still effective, and they did not mention the allowance or marriage again later.

But it is impossible for others to change their attitude towards Xiuxiu all of a sudden.

Therefore, Xiuxiu's enrollment report still cannot become a major event for the Deng family.

Only Deng's mother was with me that day. Originally, Deng's mother didn't want to go, so she wanted to let Xiuxiu go alone because she was bringing her grandson.

You can hear the eldest sister chatting with Xiuxiu, and you know that the entire Li family is out.

After much thought, Xiu Xiu was still not allowed to go alone.

. . . . . .

Lou Xiao'e gritted her teeth and insisted on staying in the courtyard.

She asked her aunt to pay her to help cook the meals for the past few days.

It was troublesome to divide the dishes around, so Lou Xiao'e's share was simply combined with the deaf old lady's.

When it was time for dinner, Lou Xiaoe went to the old lady's house to eat together.

The old lady didn't like Xu Damao at first, and she also had an average impression of his daughter-in-law Lou Xiao'e.

But after getting along with her for a few days, Lou Xiao'e, who was single-minded in speaking, quite liked her.Old people like to get along with simple people, who don't have to think too much and just do what they say.

With such a person spending time with you, it's hard for you to hate her.

The old man and the young man had been getting along for a long time, and the old lady almost knew what was in Lou Xiao'e's belly.

Could a person like the old lady know that it would be best for Lou Xiao'e to go back now and wait for Xu Damao to invite her back?

But the old lady just wanted someone to accompany her to pass the time. No matter how good Lou Xiao'e was to her during this period, she could hold it back and not say anything.

It was another week, and Li Xiang came back and passed by the old lady's yard.

I saw Lou Xiao'e sitting at the door with the old lady.

He said hello as usual, and when he passed the old lady's house, he couldn't help but turn around and glance back at the two people who were talking and laughing.

I was curious in my heart, how did these two people who usually didn't get along get together.

His curiosity was clarified by Mother Li.

"We all ate together. I heard from Aunt Er that we went into the old lady's house and went to bed at night before going home."

Li Xiang suddenly laughed and said jokingly: "I'm afraid these two aunties are standing in front of the window and watching. They even know when people come home."

"What do you think? No one with a name in this courtyard is easy to mess with. Everyone has his or her own abilities. Otherwise, why would our doors and windows be rebuilt again? Isn't it just to eat something like this without smelling bad?"

Mother Li tapped her chopsticks twice on the bowl of pork rib soup and said angrily.

The eldest sister said with some worry: "I haven't found the person who was running around in front of our door last night. You and my brother are the only ones at home on weekdays, so you have to be careful."

"I've informed some of the uncles. The third uncle killed him and locked the door. He couldn't have run in through the gate. I don't feel like he's an outsider."

Mother Li sighed. The bonuses given to her eldest son were all obtained through clear means, and she couldn't hide them even if she wanted to.

Money and silk moved people's hearts, but she didn't borrow any of them, except for those who were really in trouble, and those who deliberately wanted to cheat on the autumn wind.

At this moment, a group of people started to have their own thoughts.

Li Xiang suggested: "Lock it up. Things are different now. The house is full of valuables. If no one is caught, the uncles won't say anything."

Mother Li nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I planned to do. Just relying on the old lady and the second aunt's help to watch, there will always be an opportunity. I'll go buy a lock tomorrow."

It seems that having money is not all good.

At least it’s quite tiring to guard against this and that.

The family thought sadly.

After dinner, the family sat there without leaving.

Mother Li brought up another matter, which was the issue of adjusting her position.

When Li Xiang finished his internship at the steel rolling mill, he gave Li's mother a vaccination.

It's been less than a month, and Deputy Director Li has begun to take action.

This was faster than Li Xiang expected. He thought it would take at least three or four months for him to leave before taking action. Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Li was quite neat in his work.

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to get through it properly. The people in the office are all educated people. I haven't been able to learn anything this day. If I can succeed, don't hold others back."

Even though Li Xiang encouraged her many times, Li's mother still lacked confidence and couldn't help but keep mumbling.

"Brother has gone to great lengths to transfer you to a more relaxed position. What's so difficult about registering? Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige." The eldest sister was nearby and felt Mother Li's worry. Somewhat redundant.

Her eldest brother has explained to her many times that she can do this job.

Besides, if you can't do it, just learn it. My eldest sister doesn't realize that it's more difficult than being a fitter.

"I know, Mom, this kind of behavior is called unfounded worry." Li Xiaodi took the newly learned idioms and applied them to this situation.

No matter what Mother Li's expression was when she heard it.

Li Xiang and his eldest sister were very happy about this, as their Chinese scores really improved.
