A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 49 Preparation before meeting each other
On Sunday, the weather was fine.

He Yuzhu and his sister started working early in the morning.

Two days ago, the brother and sister worked together to tidy up the house inside and out. After finishing the work, the house became much brighter.

He Yuzhu was carrying a basket and was about to go out. When passing by the pool, he followed his sister who was washing clothes and told her:
"Yu Yu, those bones are simmering on the stove. You have to be careful and don't let them pop."

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look after a while. Brother, when you come back and pass by the supply and marketing cooperative, remember to buy some snacks." He Yuyu also made a request to his brother.

"I know, your bite is indispensable." He Yuzhu curled his lips and responded.

"What? It's not what I want to eat. It's for entertaining guests today. I just remembered it." He Yuyu apologized for himself.

"Okay, okay, I made the mistake of blaming you. Ouch~ I have to go. I'm late and won't be able to buy anything later."

He Yuzhu said a few words of comfort, then lifted his feet and slipped away.

Yuyu pursed her lips and watched him run away with dissatisfaction.

He snorted and had no choice but to give up, turned around and continued to rub his clothes.

The two brothers and sisters have grown up relying on each other. They rely on each other. Even if they are noisy at ordinary times, if something really happens, they can still discuss it.

Compared to the He family brothers and sisters who were cautious about today, Li Xiang seemed a little lazy here.

After sleeping until the sun was high in the sky, I slowly got up.

Last night I specially told Mother Li not to call him too early.

On weekdays at school, there is no time to sleep.

At five or six in the morning, you can hear the sound of banging.

Inside and outside the house, there is no time to rest, and they will not stop until they wake you up.

This week, he was able to be a little lazy at home, but he still had a very stressful time at school.

Li Xiang sat at the table and leisurely ate the breakfast left for him by his mother.

A mouthful of rice porridge and a mouthful of tender and crispy pickled cucumbers, the flavors go well together.

The two jars of pickled cucumbers brought back last night were opened by Mother Li this morning.

Since Li Xiang became more diligent in moving things home, Li's mother gradually began to relax.

Therefore, it is said that most people live a timid life. Ultimately, it is not because they do not have enough material resources.

As long as life is easier and faster, who doesn't want to feed and clothe the family well and be generous to outsiders.

On the other side, Mother Li was doing needlework nearby, and she couldn't stand the eldest son's fishy behavior.

I couldn't help but urge: "How long has this been? You are still lingering here. Are your classmate and his sister almost here?"

"Click, click, click"

After swallowing the pickled cucumber in his mouth with porridge, he replied: "It's early, it's only nine o'clock now, it will take at least another hour to arrive."

"How do you know? It's still an hour away. I look at the sun and it's almost midday. Maybe it's almost time to cook." Mother Li looked at the sun outside and guessed.

Li Xiang sighed inwardly, how do I know? I can just look at my watch.

When he got up at 08:30, he couldn't even touch half an hour between washing up and sitting here to eat.

It was not yet nine o'clock. He and classmate Liu had made an appointment to meet at ten o'clock, so there was still an hour before their arrival. He was right.

It's a pity that he can't show the original chain of evidence to prove that what he said is true.

Otherwise, Mother Li would be like the last time she bought fabrics, and she would suspect him of doing something bad.

It is better to wait until I go to the factory for internship in the winter vacation and then take it out. Just say that the school specially issued it for this research project.In the end, Li Xiang, who had no evidence to prove the time, was urged by Li's mother to rush to the middle court.

By the time he arrived at He Yuzhu's house, the brother and sister were ready to live together.

The bone soup that had been stewed early in the morning had a fragrance that Li Xiang could smell even from afar. The other dishes had already been cut and ready to be cooked when the guests arrived.

The floating dust in the room has also been wiped away, and the candy, water and snacks have been placed.

Li Xiang looked around and saw that the beds were neatly folded and there were no dirty clothes or shoes scattered around before. He nodded with satisfaction.

His eyes returned to the brother and sister.

Needless to say, He Yuyu has always been smooth-looking and decent in front of outsiders.

As for He Yuzhu, it can be seen that his hair has been newly cut. Not to mention how beautiful it is, compared with before, he is indeed a lot more energetic.

She was dressed neatly, and the leather shoes on her feet were shiny and black with freshly applied shoe polish.

The clothes are [-]% to [-]% new, and it seems that they are only worn when something happens.

that is. . . . . . .

Li Xiang's eyes fell on He Yuzhu's sleeves.

"Brother Zhuzhu, what's wrong with your sweater? The wool on the cuffs has come apart and is exposed."

"Ouch~ It wasn't like this when I put it on this morning. Did you hook it somewhere just now?" He Yuzhu looked at the untied sweater cuffs and recalled where he hooked them.

"Brother, why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and change?" Yuyu looked a little flustered. The guest was almost here.

He Yuzhu was in a dilemma: "I just have this sweater, I'll stuff it in so it can't be seen."

Although the weather was sunny today, it was winter after all, so he couldn't take off his sweater and freeze.

Li Xiang shook his head and said: "You have to work later. If you don't pay attention, you will get exposed. So, you go to the aunt's house now and ask her to repair it for you. If the line is not repaired for a while, it will not be repaired." Go ahead and ask her to sew the whole piece of cloth for you first, it’s better than having the threads exposed and dragging it around.”

Seeing that what he said was reasonable, Yuyu quickly dragged his brother to his aunt's house.

Li Xiang added later: "Later, remember to call the elders too. During the meal, there must be an elder to hold the line. If there are some things that are difficult to ask, the elders can also consider playing the drum."

The brother and sister nodded together, still convinced by Li Xiang's words.

It's hard for him to think so thoughtfully. There are some things that even the elders may not speak up about.

After He Yuzhu mended his clothes, the two of them led the first man home.

Li Xiang also estimated that the time was almost up and he was going to the alley entrance to greet classmate Liu and his brother.

BJ's alley has many twists and turns. If you don't stay here all the time, it's common for you to get sidetracked.

After saying hello to the three of them, Li Xiang was about to walk out of the hospital.

But before they left the middle courtyard door, they saw the third uncle Yan Bugui leading the two of them inside.

He greeted Li Xiang: "These two people said they were looking for you, so I brought them over."

"Thank you, Third Uncle, for showing me the way." Li wanted to thank him.

Then, Li Xiang said to classmate Liu with a smile. "You guys arrived so early? I even said I would pick you up outside."

Classmate Liu also responded with a smile. "We were not familiar with this area, so we left early for fear of wasting time. Unexpectedly, the trip went smoothly."

Li Xiang motioned to the two siblings to go inside. The person they were looking at was in this courtyard.
