A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 20 He Yuzhu’s Punishment
Father Lou is very thoughtful.

He didn't want to go into too much detail with his son-in-law about the follow-up handling of the matter, lest he get a taste of it and use the Lou family's momentum to do random things outside in the future.

Thinking of this, Father Lou couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. At this time, the Lou family didn't have much momentum at all. They were just keeping their tail between their legs.

Today's favor is that once it is used up, it loses its value.

In the study, he made a phone call.

He mentioned He Yuzhu's name to the person on the other end of the phone, and within a few words, the matter was settled.

The person on the other end not only readily agreed but also offered help. Father Lou, who originally thought he was going to lose a lot of favors, was surprised by how smoothly the matter went.

How failed He Yuzhu is in his daily life, to be able to offend a leading cadre of this level.

He directly cut off his money, and he could still take revenge so secretly.

After this incident, Lou's father's attention was not on He Yuzhu, but on re-examining his relationship with this leader.

He Yuzhu, who had no idea about this, ruined his career in the steel rolling mill with just a few words from the bosses. He has never been promoted to the first level or received a salary increase since then.

After Xu Damao waited for many days, he saw Huanshi still jumping around under his nose, but he didn't find any sign of punishment.

I thought Lou's father didn't take him seriously as his son-in-law at all, so he turned against him.

In addition, Xu Damao vaguely noticed a hint of the truth, that is, in addition to being rich, the current Lou family's control of power has dropped to the bottom. It is like a toothless tiger with only a skin, and it can only scare people without knowing it. people.

Xu Damao only felt that his respect for the Lou family all these years had been wrongly paid. Apart from better material conditions, he had not gained any other benefits, and he had served Lou Xiao'e like a cow for so many years.

Thinking of the way the Lou family has treated them so submissively over the years, a big man has done all the housework, making the gossips in the yard laugh at him for not being like a man. He even has to wash his wife's underwear. No wonder he has no child. No children.

Why would he rather run outside than stay at home? He just had to do enough serving people, and no man could live like him.

Xu Damao felt that the resentment in his heart was boiling and had no way to resolve it, and his resentment towards the Lou family could no longer be suppressed.

From then on, he was no longer as obedient to the Lou family as before, and his attitude towards Lou Xiao'e also began to constantly test his bottom line.

The Li family here are having lunch.

The four pieces of pork that Li Xiang brought back last night were burned, and Li Xiaodi thought about them all night long.

The little kid who was usually the most lazy got up early today, uncharacteristically, and looked at Mother Li eagerly. It was obvious that he was thinking a lot.

This made Mother Li angry and funny, but Mother Li did not spoil him.

On the grounds of what kind of meat to eat in the morning, he insisted on postponing the time to enjoy the fire until noon.

The whole family cooked it one by one and ate deliciously with the cabbage and vermicelli noodles in the bowl.

Li Xiang took a sip of the paste at the edge of the bowl and said sweetly: "Mom, your craftsmanship is still good. This cabbage paste is very fragrant when I eat it. The taste is no worse than this Huo Shao."

The eldest sister echoed: "I still have to learn my mother's cooking skills. I can't make it taste like this with the same ingredients."

"If it's delicious, eat more of it. I'll add it to the pot for you. Mom will cook it for you in the future." Mother Li was naturally happy that her children were giving face to her.

She happily scooped up a spoonful and added it to her daughter's bowl, and then said, "You are still young, so we are not in a hurry. Mom's skills will be passed on to you in the future."

Just when the whole family was enjoying themselves with a loving mother and a filial son, Li Xiaodi ruined the atmosphere without even blinking.

He bit into the fire in his hand and said to his elder brother in a slurred manner: "Brother, can you buy more next time you come back? I love eating this, and I can't get enough of it alone."

"Good boy, you are eating the food in the bowl and looking at the food in the pot. Your mouth is burning before you finish chewing it. You are already thinking about the next time."

Li Xiang used his eyes to stop Li's mother and eldest sister from showing their burning movements.

He does not allow others to encourage Little Brother Li's selfish behavior. This is not for his own good, but to harm him.

He patted the back of his little brother's head angrily. This kid has been acting like a greedy cat all day long. There is no shortage of his mouth in the house. Why is he thinking about eating and drinking all day long?

Moreover, I never refuse what others give me, and I never think of leaving anything for others.

In terms of quantity of food, if you don't distribute it in advance, he can finish it for you by himself.After Li Xiang came over, I discovered that he had this bad habit, and I tried countless times to break his bad habit.

It can last for two days at first, but will soon germinate in a solid state.

Li had no choice but to allocate his share in advance every time and strictly prohibited giving him his share, thus protecting his eldest sister and Li's mother's share of the rice bowl.

"There is nothing unearned in the world, you think..."

"Which bastard broke the glass of our house."

Before Li wanted to educate his younger brother, he was interrupted by the noise coming from outside.

He stretched his neck and looked outside the door curiously, and saw Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e shouting loudly at the broken glass of their window.

Who did it?
Li Xiang and the older sister who were equally curious looked at each other and found the same confusion in each other's eyes.

The noise they made quickly attracted other neighbors in the yard.

The second uncle who was also in the backyard walked out of the house and came to the two of them with his hands behind his back.

"Xu Damao, what are you two arguing about?"

"Second uncle, there are bad elements in our courtyard who are seeking revenge. This bastard smashed all the windows in our house."

Xu Damao is the most adaptable person. Although he had a disagreement with the second uncle yesterday, today he was of use, so he handed over a cigarette like a normal person and asked him to come forward and handle the matter impartially.

The second uncle likes this the most. He likes others to respect him, support him, and treat him as a person.

So he agreed without saying a word. After getting rid of the people who were busy with other things, he came to Li's house first.

Seeing the food on the dining table, he greeted politely: "Are you eating? The food is good."

"Second uncle, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, we can make do with one bite at our house." Li Xiang stood up, gave up the bench, and asked him to sit down.

Seeing that Li Xiang, a college student, was polite and courteous to him, the second uncle felt a little uneasy.

He waved his hand and said, "You've eaten. Don't be busy. I just came here to ask. The window glass of Xu's house was broken. Did you see who did it?"

"Oh, I really didn't see it. I didn't even hear the sound. What about you?" Li Xiang turned to ask the rest of the family.

The three of them all said no, and they didn't see anyone suspicious.

When the second uncle couldn't find anything out, he left Li's house. Li Xiang looked in his direction, heading towards the old lady's house.

At this time, Li Xiaodi couldn't stop talking and said:
"The old lady broke the glass."

　Sometimes readers will comment on this book and leave some of their own opinions.

　　I will also express my thoughts under your comments. Of course, this is not to argue with you about who is right and who is wrong.

　　I think we are communicating and sharing knowledge about that era with each other.

　　That era is too far away from me. Most of the sources of knowledge I know come from TV, fan fiction, the Internet and what I learned from my elders.

　　What I know is not necessarily right, and my readers are not necessarily wrong. Maybe both parties are biased in the end.

　　A reader friend told me that the responsibility for the protagonist's mother being hungry may lie more with the factory. I explained it to him with my logic at the time, but he said that the supply problem in the canteen continued into the 80s.

　　I think this sharing is very interesting, and I also got it. Maybe due to some problems, I will not make corrections in that chapter, but in subsequent chapters or future novels with similar themes, I will describe the supply of the canteen. I know I need to write more harshly.

　　Another question is about the length of Xu Damao’s first marriage. The answer I can find is indeed ten years. Some friends think it’s wrong. It’s too long, and the age of the couple is really flawed. Xu Damao is not old enough to get married. After much thought, I realized that it might be a hard bug in the plot that can only be solved through the content of the novel.

　　The number of words is not enough.

　　In fact, there are many things I want to share with you, but I have to leave some content for the launch.

　　Compare this to friends who insist on reading the latest chapters.
