A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 491 Chaos in the city
When Li Xiang heard Uncle Li's accusation, his first reaction was disbelief.

He didn't suspect Uncle Li of lying, but thought about whether there was any misunderstanding.

How could the lobby sister-in-law, who has such an honest and amiable character, do such unreasonable and unforgiving things?

"Why don't we sit down and talk together after dinner later? From my understanding of the receptionist's wife, she shouldn't be like this." Li Xiang suggested.

Uncle Li snorted and didn't respond.

But this attitude is actually a disguised agreement.

The two of them hadn't sat down for a while when someone came over and announced that dinner was ready.

There were so many people here today that there was no room for one table.

Li Xiang simply opened two tables, one for adults and one for children.

Li Xiaodi, who has no family status, was naturally driven to the children's table.

"Come here less. It seems like you drink less. The wine at your place is much more than that at mine." Li Xiang couldn't see how miserable he was.

"This good wine is good wine. After drinking it, it flows along the intestines and into the stomach like a thread."

Although the dishes on both sides are the same, if you look closely, you can see that the dishes on that table are all the highlights, while this table is mostly just the corner and corners. Only the prawns that the elder sister likes to eat are equally divided.

At that moment, she made the decision and said to everyone: "There are still many at home. Before I leave, I will give you two bottles each."

Gao Weicheng also nodded, proving what Sun Guoqing said.

The knowledgeable people at the table glanced at Li Xiang, the wine master.

On the other hand, Uncle Li and his two sons shook their heads like rattles and refused to ask for anything.

Li Xiang had a slight smile on his face and seemed to support his mother's decision.

In terms of dishes, the children's table is actually better.

"Wine, good or bad, is not drunk by people. I don't drink at home. If you don't take it, it would be a waste if you keep it at home." Mother Li did not accept their refusal and continued to persuade.

Mother Li suddenly felt distressed at the side, because the two children couldn't even drink good wine.

Gao Weicheng took a look at his wife, and after getting his eldest sister's acquiescence, he happily shouted "Thank you, Mom."

"You have wronged me. Like our Maotai, we can't touch it at all. If you don't believe it, just ask Weicheng. The old men are only willing to use it to entertain their comrades." Sun Guoqing looked aggrieved.

At the adult table, it is indispensable to push cups and change cups.

Then, to avoid the two cousins-in-law from bumping into each other, they couldn't eat well, so they sent the lobby sister-in-law to the other side. At the same time, Qiu Fanghua and Gu Da Niu also went to that table to keep them company.

Sun Guoqing was so thick-skinned that he immediately became happy when he heard Mother Li's promise.

"Rough people like us shouldn't waste our time drinking this good wine. Brothers and sisters, don't count us among them. We don't want it." Uncle Li said to Mother Li.

After downing a glass of wine, Sun Guoqing let out a laugh and quickly grabbed a piece of braised pork.

Moutai is a high-end wine at this time, but it is far from the unique status it would have in later generations.

If the purpose is not to make a fortune, a normal person will collect a few bottles at most.

It is said that the wine of the past tastes different from the wine of later generations. I don’t know where this rumor originated. Putting aside the smell, ordinary people can't tell the difference at all.

For ordinary people to notice the difference, it is basically a decisive change in the formula.

If they are brewed with the same recipe, even if they can be distinguished, the taste will only be more stable in future generations due to the advancement of brewing technology.

So Li Xiang's wine was given away so lavishly by his mother, was he heartbroken?
He was so heartbroken. If he cared about this, there would be no need to bring this wine out to entertain him today.

Li Xiang, as a son, is supportive, so there is no gift that Li Xiang, a mother, cannot give.

Anyway, after today's party, there was a box of Maotai missing from Li Xiangjia's warehouse.

But this is all after the end.

The party is in full swing now, and everyone is chatting at the dinner table.

The topic always changes according to the person. After a while, the conversation started from parents and people's livelihood issues were discussed again.

Regarding the recent changes in BJ City, no one has deeper feelings than the police chief Gao Weicheng.

"We have no objection to letting this person back. After all, he originally left the city. There is no reason not to let him go home. But when he is put back, we have to arrange a way out for him. If he can't support himself, then Aren’t they pushing people down a bad path?” Gao Weicheng lamented the recent increase in crime rates.

Sun Guoqing picked up a frosted peanut and chewed it.

"Whoever said there was no arrangement has arranged all the work of removing excrement, but it has to be enough. Where can we find tens of thousands of jobs in a short while?"

"If this person is too idle, he will easily get into trouble. Don't blame Weicheng for complaining. There are more people breaking the law, and the hospital is also busy. Those gangsters are very ruthless. In the past, they have restrained themselves a little and used the board. There are so many bricks, no one who goes to the hospital now doesn't have a few holes in them." The eldest sister was peeling the shrimp while talking about what she had seen in the hospital.

"Now that I'm talking about this, I remembered that you should avoid walking at night in the future. Wang Sheng of Aunt Wang's family was intercepted two days ago when he was working the night shift. Fortunately, he was smart and didn't take advantage of it. He took all the money he had on him. After giving them all, they were released without any problems." Mother Li was prompted and immediately shared what had just happened in the courtyard to make everyone more alert.

"Your courtyard house is so close to the factory, and someone is doing something about it? Brothers and sisters, you should be more alert when you go to work, and don't be left alone." Uncle Li said with a worried look on his face.

"Hey, I don't work the night shift. They don't dare to do it during the day." Li's mother felt that the bad guys were not so bold.

Li wanted to hear what she said, but said sternly: "Mom, don't take it seriously. You don't dare to do it now. If you rob it a few more times, when you get bolder, you will dare to do anything. People in that area are all here." Those who work in nearby factories must have a thorough understanding of the terrain and your routines if they dare to do something at home. Maybe it’s your own people who might be the ones to do it.”

After his analysis, everyone felt that it made sense.

No matter which kid returned to the city, his hands were empty, so he had evil thoughts.

Wang Sheng is a fitter who does heavy physical work. Although he is not tall, he has developed strong muscles due to his work.

This group of people dared to attack a young man like him, but who could guarantee that the old, weak, women and children who were left alone could escape.

"Mom, why don't you move here and live for a while? You'll be the only one living there forever. I'm scared just thinking about it." Qiu Fanghua, who was at the other table, heard the discussion here and turned to Mother Li and said.

The house over there is in the backyard. If you encounter something that can climb over the wall, it's not that safe at home.

"How can that be done? I still have to go to work." Mother Li refused without thinking.

It's a long distance from my son's home to the steel rolling mill.

If she could move here, she would have moved there long ago.
