Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

Chapter 73 Discussing the New Year
"Why is Lao Liu always staying at home lately? He comes out to chat even when he has nothing to do. It hasn't been cold these past two days."

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, took a sip of hot water from the porcelain teapot and said to Liu Haizhong who had just returned from get off work,

Since the last incident, the two of them haven't seen each other like this for a long time, let alone said a word. Since they bumped into each other today, they naturally wanted to say hello.

Liu Haizhong's face looked a little unnatural. It was obvious that he hadn't gotten over what happened last time.

Ever since he was released, he would go out early and come back late. Even in ideological education classes, he would arrive at the right time. As soon as get out of class was over, he would leave immediately without giving anyone a chance to ask him anything.
This is the same even when he is off work now. He leaves early in the morning and comes back after work when the neighbors in the yard are eating in the house.

In the past, his favorite thing was to hang out in the yard, asking what happened to someone else's family? He would always point fingers and preach, but now he doesn’t have that face.

But time is the best medicine. After so long, although Liu Haizhong still hasn't come out, he will still answer when someone talks to him, unlike before, he just pretended not to hear and just left.

"Oh! I just felt too cold so I didn't go out. Then I'll go back while you're here."

Liu Haizhong said sarcastically and he was about to walk towards the middle courtyard.

"Hey, don't leave! I still want to ask you something!"

Yan Bugui hurriedly stopped the person, and answered without waiting for the other person to ask:

"Although you are no longer the second uncle, you can't just ignore things in the yard! Look, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Do you want to change our impression? Taking advantage of the Spring Festival, give everyone Do something practical.”

Yan Bugui said with a smile. When Liu Haizhong heard that it was feasible, he also became interested, but he pushed it and said:

"What do you want to do? I'm not the second uncle now, so you can't talk to me."

"Hey! Who said I can't talk to you? Although I have made some mistakes, I haven't made any mistakes. If I change my ways, I will be a good comrade! The officials are no longer in charge, so what are you afraid of?
Besides, during the Spring Festival every year, our yard is very lively. If we don't make it lively this year, how can we show our popularity! "

Liu Haizhong listened carefully to what the other party said, thinking about the benefits this matter would bring to him, but how to operate it? He still doesn't get the point?

Originally, the three of them were the uncles, and Yi Haizhong was the first uncle, and he was the one who mediated all matters in the yard.

Yan Bugui is usually as transparent as that and doesn't care much at all. The most important thing he cares about is opening the door in the morning and closing and locking it at night.
oh! Also, help neighbors receive letters and read instructions from the street office.

As the second uncle, he actually doesn't do anything practical. At most, he just shows off his prestige in the yard.

So when it comes to doing practical things, he really doesn't know how to do it.

"Do you think we can talk at this gate if you have something to say?"

Yan Bugui said angrily, 'If it weren't for the fact that your wife just mentioned a piece of meat, I wouldn't want to talk nonsense to you here! '

I was thinking in my heart, but it didn't show on my face. Instead, I asked the other person in reply,
"Oh! I forgot. Let's go to my house and talk!"

The center of the bangs sighed, probably this old boy saw his wife coming back from buying meat. If the method is good, it's okay, but if the method is not good, forget it, just feed it to the dog!

Liu Haixin comforted himself in this way, and took the person home with him. As expected, he smelled the smell of meat wafting from the kitchen before he got closer.
"Oh! I'm really sorry, how about I come back later." Yan Bugui smelled the fragrance when he walked to the door, and said a little embarrassedly,

"I just made some meat. Let's eat some together. Let's talk while eating."

Liu Haizhong said with a split mouth trying to smile,
"Why are you so embarrassed? Well, I happen to have some wine at home, so I'll go get it and let us two have a nice drink."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he turned around and ran back. The speed was faster than the students under him.
"Do you think I bought a lot of meat?"

Liu Haizhong's daughter-in-law has been called the second aunt since Liu Haizhong became the second uncle. But now everyone will only change her name back to her original name and call her Liu Li or Aunt Li. Aunt,

This makes Li Dalan, who is used to being called the second aunt, still dissatisfied. Like her husband, she likes the feeling of being an official. Of course, she likes the feeling of being the wife of an official. Unfortunately, even this small wish has become a luxury now. ,

Li Dalan, who has always regarded her husband as her first priority, is not so pleased with her man. Unfortunately, she relies on men for her life and dare not speak out when she is dissatisfied.
She has been having a hard time recently. Today, she had to cut off eight taels of meat after a man spoke to her. But before she could even eat it, someone came to take advantage of her. Naturally, her words were unpleasant.
"You know nothing! You said your hair is long but your knowledge is short, but you still don't admit it. Okay, hurry up and go make your meal."

Liu Haizhong said impatiently, waving his arms vigorously, as if to send the person away,
"You don't understand."

Aunt Li retorted unconvincedly and returned to the kitchen honestly.
After Zhao Xiaotang listened to the conversation between the two people in the yard, she had some guesses in her mind, so she didn't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, she lived alone. At worst, she would go out and hide for a few days. Anyway, no one could do anything to her about visiting her elders. ,

The group of people in the yard didn't know who the elder Zhao Xiaotang was talking about? After all, there are so many colleagues of native parents, and any one of them can be used as an excuse.

Thinking about it, she no longer paid attention to what was going on in the yard. If Fu Bao was here, she could still hear the follow-up, but unfortunately Fu Bao was still sleeping.

"I won't eat my wife's lunch. You can save it for me in the evening."

Yan Bugui returned home happily. He took out most of the bottle of wine from the cabinet in the living room and said as he passed by the kitchen,
"Whose house are you going to again?"

The third aunt didn't want to cook at first, but she didn't expect that her husband had no class in the afternoon, so she could only cook the food and wait until it was ready.

"Go to Lao Liu's house. I'll discuss the New Year matters with him. Okay, let's go now. I'll tell you the details when I get back."

Yan Bugui just saw it. The meat will be out of the pot soon. You can't keep others waiting. That would be too rude.

After talking to my wife, I ran all the way to Liu's house. I originally wanted to talk about the boss's marriage, but now I can only wait until someone comes back.

The third aunt thought to herself, and returned to the kitchen to continue stir-frying the vegetables in the pot.

The Liu family's food was already on the table, and when Yan Bugui arrived, the dishes and chopsticks were already set.
"Come and try this wine, it tastes amazing."

Yan Bugui was fair and aboveboard, holding the wine in front of him with a smile and said,

"Okay, don't mix it with water again."

Before Liu Haizhong could speak, he heard his youngest son saying with disdain next to him,
