Scholars in the courtyard

Now, instead of feeling too hot around Yang Xiaotao's house, there is a cool feeling. Both Uncle Chen who live here feel much more relaxed.

Of course, Uncle Chen’s family doesn’t have to worry about not being able to eat vegetables now. They eat them in different ways every day.

The same is true for the Zhou family. Now they don't have to worry about food at all. The whole family can now have enough to eat, especially Zhou Kui. This big eater rarely feels full, but after eating Yang Xiaotao Unfortunately, the food delivered was less, and my stomach wasn't as hungry as before.

However, compared with Yang Xiaotao's vegetable garden, the vegetables grown in the vegetable garden also cultivated by the Zhou family are not satisfactory.

The carefully tended vegetable garden only grew a few in the end, and they were all crooked melons and jujubes.

After reporting the matter last time, Yang Xiaotao also understood that no matter what era he was in, his spine would be straight if he had a backer behind him. He naturally knew the contribution of Director Wang of the Street Office.

No matter which angle the other party comes from, it has helped him anyway, and he must maintain this favor.

So I would go to Director Wang's house every now and then with vegetables, and sometimes I would bring some exchanged items, and the relationship between them quickly grew.

It was Sunday at Shazhu’s house in the Intermediate Court. He Yuyu came back from school and saw that Shazhu had prepared a table of food, including eggs and meat, all cooked with oil. It looked like he was hungry. .

"Brother, this is too wasteful."

He Yuyu sat on a long stool, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat the meat.

Snapped

As soon as the chopsticks picked up a piece of fat meat, Silly Zhu, who was busy next to him, started to eat it with the shovel.

"Well, for such an old man, do you have any rules?"

"I learned some of this in school."

Silly Zhu murmured, while He Yuyu pouted and didn't care. In her mind, her brother was a sharp-tongued person with a tofu heart. "Brother, you made so many delicious things, didn't you give them to me to eat?"

When she was in school, she was hungry every meal. She ate only coarse grains and pickles, with a rare bit of meat, and it was all made from pork. She could only purse her lips when eating.

"Anything for you to eat? Give it to me while you wait."

Shazhu waved his hand after hearing this and continued to stir-fry. The last dish, braised chicken, was his specialty and the main dish this time.

"Brother, you don't give me food, but you still do it so well. Is there something wrong?"

He Yuyu ignored Si Zhu's nagging, put down his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fat meat with his hands and threw it into his mouth. Si Zhu was helpless.

"Of course something happened."

Silly Zhu said with a smile on his lips. Then under He Yuyu's expectant eyes, he raised his head and said excitedly, "My uncle has introduced a date to your brother. He will be here soon."

"Your brother is also going to have a wife. Let Shamao see her when the time comes. Isn't she just a wife? No one can find her."

After saying that, he stir-fried the chicken vigorously, and the aroma rose.

"What? Brother, are you looking for a wife?"

He Yuyu's eyes widened, he hadn't swallowed the meat in his mouth yet, his face was full of disbelief.

I feel dizzy. If I have a wife in the future, will I still care about her?

She has to take the high school entrance exam this year. If she doesn't pass, she can still find a job. But if she does, what about the tuition fees?

How can she, a little girl, make money?

Didn't she want her brother to come out in the end?

However, if you have a sister-in-law, can you still take care of her like this?

A girl has started working in the countryside a long time ago. Many girls her age are also helping at home and working early to earn money.

But she didn't want to and couldn't.

After so many years, she has been under the care of her brother. Not to mention how good her life is, but she is not hungry. Sometimes she can eat some meat and eat some meat. At least she is not tired, let alone working from dawn to dusk like others. alive.

But if she has a sister-in-law and a nephew in the future, can her brother still treat her and take care of her like he does now?

He Yuyu suddenly felt frustrated, but she couldn't stop her brother from finding a wife.

After all, Jia Dongxu, who is older than his brother, and Xu Damao, who is younger than his brother, have both found wives, so it is her brother's turn.

However, my heart was still filled with panic, and the meat in my mouth was no longer as sweet as before.

I want to cry, I want to cry somewhere where no one is.

But, she can't.

Looking at Silly Zhu's busy back, He Yuyu gritted his teeth and asked carefully, "Brother, will you still cook for me when you have a sister-in-law?"

His voice was pitiful, and Silhu's stir-frying movements stagnated, and then he said with a smile without looking back, "What's the point? You are my sister. Before you get married, I will support you."

Silly Zhu assured loudly, He Yuyu nodded while holding his breath, but he was thinking in his heart.

"That won't be the case after you get married."

He Yuyu lowered his head and was thinking randomly, and suddenly asked, "Brother, what does my sister-in-law look like?"

Silly Zhu was stunned, turned around and touched the back of his head, "I haven't seen this before."

"The uncle said there is a good girl in his workshop, why don't you introduce her here in a hurry?"

Silly Zhu said confidently, full of yearning for the girl whom the uncle praised so quickly.

He Yuyu's eyes rolled after hearing this. He knew very well the aesthetic values ​​of the First Master and his generation.

As long as the butt is big and fertile, she is a good girl.

Thinking about it, he said, "That's right. The most beautiful one in our courtyard is Sister Qin of the Jia family."

After hearing this, Shazhu felt hot in his heart. If Jia Dongxu hadn't stepped in first, Qin Huairu would have been the wife of his dreams.

He Yuyu continued, "When it comes to family matters, Sister Lou from Xu Damao in the backyard is second to none."

When he heard about Sha Mao, Sha Zhu felt angry.

How could such a mean-spirited guy find a wife?

Or a rich wife?

Ever since he was little, he has always been serious with Sha Mao. No matter how big or small he is, he has never lost.

But in the end, he was left behind when it came to marrying a wife, which severely damaged his lifelong competitiveness.

However, Silly Zhu was not easy to get along with. Although he was envious of Xu Damao for finding a rich wife, he was very disdainful.

"Only a fool like Xu Damao is willing to find a wife of a capitalist."

Scratch

The spatula scooped up the soup from the pot and put it onto the plate without leaking.

"Yes, I must find someone who is no worse than Sister Qin and better than Lou Xiao'e's family to be my sister-in-law."

He Yuyu's little eyes rolled, and Shazhu was also happy after hearing this.

"That's right, the daughter-in-law of our Lao He family must be the best."

"The uncle will be here soon, you go and invite the old lady over first."

As the rain fell, He got up and ran to the backyard.

After a while, he helped the deaf old lady into the middle courtyard and came to Si Zhu's house to sit down.

At this time, everyone in the compound also knew about Sha Zhu's blind date, and many people were waiting to see who Sha Zhu would be.

When Xu Damao heard Lou Xiao'e's words in the backyard, he immediately got up from the bed. He didn't care about the pain in his back caused by last night and went out in the sun.

"Why are you going on this hot day?"

Lou Xiao'e had a look of displeasure on her face. They had been married for more than two months. They were neither shy nor impatient, but they had been doing it for a long time. However, her stomach didn't react at all, but she was very anxious.

Xu Damao finally found a reason to leave, how could he still dare to stay in this room?

Recently, he risked his life in order to have a child. However, the impressive guy before marriage couldn't stand up at the critical moment. Even he himself wondered whether he had run out of gas because of too much use in the past.

It's just that he didn't dare to say it.

"I'll go take a look in the front yard. Silly Zhu still wants to go on a blind date without even looking at that forty-year-old face. What kind of girl can fall in love with him?"

When it comes to Sha Zhu finding a wife, Xu Damao has a natural sense of superiority. Who makes his wife look handsome and have money?

Although his father-in-law said that they should avoid suspicion and not help too much, just being the manager of the steel rolling mill allowed him to secure his position in the propaganda department.

Besides, doesn't the mother-in-law deliver food here every now and then? The food is no better than that of Yang Xiaotao, who lives in poverty.

After saying that, Xu Damao dragged his shoes and ran to the middle courtyard.

When I came to the big locust tree, many people were enjoying the cool air. As soon as I found a place to sit down, I saw a man walking in from outside, followed by a woman.

Everyone was surprised when they saw this woman for the first time.

Xu Damao relaxed, then thought of something, his face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

If Silly Zhu found such a wife, he would dare to behave in front of him.

It's not that this woman is ugly, she looks ordinary, but she's far behind Lou Xiao'e, let alone Qin Huairu.

As for what everyone is surprised about, this woman is too fat. She can be so fat in this era, either because she is a good eater like Jia Zhang and is too lazy to cook, or she really has enough food at home.

"Isn't this Liu Yuhua, the third-level blacksmith from Workshop 7?"

"This girl is very capable, and she is good at making money."

"It's more than enough to match the silly pillars. I'm really good at picking them."

Several people in the workshop were talking about the situation, and someone immediately asked.

"So good? Why don't you marry me?"

"This, this."

The speaker hesitated, thinking the same thing as everyone else.

Just seeing that the Jia family and the Xu family found two beautiful wives, which invisibly raised the standards of the courtyard house, and asked them to find a chubby one, would not be a loss of status.

Among the men in these forty-nine cities, who doesn’t want to lose face?

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, and Liu Yuhua was not shy either. He greeted everyone generously and followed the elder into Shazhu's house.

Liu Yuhua didn't want to come because she also asked about He Yuzhu.

Especially when I heard the nickname Silly Zhu, I felt a little uncomfortable.

These days, most people are practical.

It's not a good thing to be called a fool. Either you are really stupid or there is something wrong with you as a person.

Fortunately, her father and Yi Zhonghai were old acquaintances, and Yi Zhonghai's explanation allowed her to come over and take a look.

It turns out that the name Silly Zhu was given to him by his father He Daqing. The specific reason seems to be that he sold it to Jiubing Baozi, took fake money and chased most of Forty-Nine City, and then his father called him Silly Zhu.

Later, people around started shouting like this.

Yi Zhonghai walked into the house, and Liu Yuhua stood outside the door and took a peek. Sure enough, it was as described. There were two big houses. Although one of them still belonged to He Yuzhu's sister, the house would be freed up when she got married.

This alone is better than those with four or five more people crammed into one house.

From now on, I will be able to live comfortably even if I have children.
