A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 43

As the Li Xiaodi shaking briquettes incident came to an end.

The weather has officially turned cooler, and winter seems to have quietly made its appearance one morning.

After that, He Yuzhu sent another sheep bone to the Li family.

Although the bones are still cleanly shaved, this thing has no way around it, so it is really not good.

There is no free lunch in the world.

The food is delicious, but you can’t eat it for free.

He Yuzhu's thoughts are basically clear, he hopes that the Li family will handle his matter as soon as possible.

Therefore, finding a partner for him recently has become Li Xiang's first priority after studying.

He doesn't expect any good news from Sun Guoqing now.

Sun's mother now despises even her own son, so why would she care about the affairs of her son's classmates and classmates.

There are so many people in the school of Nottingham University. In fact, as long as you inquire carefully, you can still find the right candidate.

Within a few days, with the help of the brothers in the dormitory, the second candidate emerged.

This girl is the sister of a classmate Liu in the eldest class. She is upright, beautiful, and neat in her work. She is well known both at home and abroad.

This time Li Xiang was led to see that he was working as a temporary worker in the school cafeteria, doing chores like washing and chopping vegetables.

Li Xiang looked at her, and she looked a bit like his representative national daughter-in-law in later generations, Hai Qing.

To be honest, Sister Liu's conditions are not perfect.

Educational level and age are drawbacks.

She is two years older than He Yuzhu. She is 28 this year. She has not finished elementary school and cannot read a few Chinese characters.

It is said that her parents also left early, but they did not have an uncle or aunt to take over the life like Gu Danniu.

A half-grown girl has to endure all kinds of hardships leading her younger brother through life.

Relatives in rural areas are also having a hard time. They can only occasionally provide some food to the siblings, but they are powerless in other matters.

When Sister Liu reaches the age of marriage, the only condition for the person proposing marriage is that she must take care of her brother until he reaches adulthood.

After becoming an adult, her brother went to look for food to support himself.

But without exception, those families regarded her brother as a drag and were unwilling to accept this condition.

The two siblings had been dependent on each other since childhood. If she was asked to marry and ignore her biological brother, Sister Liu would definitely not do it.

So just like this, the older I get, the older I get.

In rural areas, people usually get married early. When her brother gets older, she can feel free to get married. However, men who can match her age are either married for the second time or are widowers.

This is embarrassing. Even if these men are willing, Sister Liu is not willing.

Fortunately, classmate Liu was more upbeat and didn't let his sister suffer all these years in vain.

After I was admitted to college, there was an endless stream of guests at home, and there were also many people with ulterior motives.

At this time, Sister Liu planned to find someone similar, so she closed her eyes and got married.

But it was student Liu who was unwilling. He always felt that most of these people had bad intentions.

This person knows the person but not the heart. There are only a few days left before he goes to school to report. There is simply not enough time to conduct a thorough investigation.

Whether he asked his sister to find someone to marry in a short period of time, or left his sister alone in her hometown, he was not at ease.He would not be in his hometown at that time. If something happened to his sister, he would be helpless even though he was thousands of miles away.

By the time he came back, the day lilies were also cold.

So classmate Liu decided to take his sister to school with him. When he was a child, his sister took care of him. Now that he has grown up, it is his turn to take care of her.

Of course, it would be even better if I could help my sister find a suitable partner here.

BJ is much better than their hometown in the countryside. Even if he can't stay here after graduation, at least my sister doesn't have to live with her face facing the loess and her back facing the sky.

So when classmate Liu heard from the eldest brother Zhang Jianguo, Li Xiang was helping the eldest brother in their compound find a partner.

He directly took the initiative to introduce his sister's situation, and even enthusiastically led Li Xiang to see his eldest sister to prove that what he said was true and that Wang Po was not a liar.

This time, Li Xiang didn’t bother with the process of looking at the photos first, so as not to have a long night of dreams and rush home that night.

He couldn't wait for the day of the holiday and wanted to arrange for the two of them to meet as soon as possible.

He Yuzhu didn't have a small stove today, and he was cooking when Li Xiang came in.

As soon as he saw Li Xiang coming in, he greeted happily:
"Oh~ What a coincidence. The twice-cooked pork has just come out of the pot. Come on, come on, let me have a cup with my brother."

"Brother Zhuzi, I won't drink anymore. I have business to do today." After saying that, Li Xiang politely picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat.

Hearing what he said, He Yuzhu immediately felt better and decided to add another dish.

Li wanted to talk to him about nothing else. If it was serious business, it could only be the one he had asked for before.

He grinned widely and said, "Brother, I'm going to add another dish. You have to talk to me about it later."

"Okay, then I'll go home first, put my bag away, and come back later."

Li Xiang saw that He Yuzhu was still thinking about holding on and didn't act impatient, so he wouldn't be anxious.

"Wait a minute, take some of these vegetables back to Auntie and the others to try." He Yuzhu stopped chopping vegetables and took out an empty bowl and handed it to him.

Li Xiang refused and said, "No, it's just these dishes. If you don't save some for Sister Yuyu, she'll be hungry when she comes back from her late self-study."

"Oh, I'll do it for her alone then, why are you so polite to me?"

When He Yuzhu saw that he refused to take the bowl, he picked up his chopsticks and plucked the vegetables.
He was also sincere. He set aside more than half of each plate and piled the bowl full.

Then he stuffed it into Li Xiang's hand and urged: "It's cold now, send it back while it's still hot, otherwise the taste will be worse when you put it back into the pot."

Seeing that he couldn't evade it, Li Xiang stopped being polite and took the bowl to his home.

From the moment he entered He Yuzhu's house to the time he came out with the bowl, his every move fell into the eyes of the neighbors in the courtyard.

The elder Yi Zhonghai stood in front of the window of his house, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

When did Li Xiang have such a good relationship with Zhu Zhu? They had to eat and drink quite a lot.

Last time, Zhuzhu was asked to find some meat for Qin Huairu to replenish his body. The only remaining sheep bones he had were given to the Li family except for him.

The aunt came to the table with the steamed steamed buns and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?"

"Li Xiang and Zhu Zhu are getting along well. I just saw him coming out of Zhu Zhu's house carrying a bowl of food." The first man said as he moved from the window to the table.

The eldest mother was a little disapproving: "They have been getting along well since that year, haven't you forgotten? Or you were the one who negotiated an agreement."

The elder thought for a moment, recalled the previous interactions between the two, and finally shook his head and said:
"It's different. Li Xiang treated Zhu Zhu a little coldly before."
