Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 521

Siheyuan, Li family.

Silly Zhu has been busy since early in the morning.

Yesterday he saw Zhang Xiuzhen went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of vegetables, so he asked casually, it turned out that it was the old lady's birthday.

Immediately without further ado, he took a day off to help with the work and take charge of the cooking.

The third mother saw Shazhu's courteous appearance in the courtyard, and secretly pouted, probably because she couldn't understand Shazhu's rush to curry favor with the Li family.

Ever since her second son was 'sent' to the farm for reformation, she hated the Li family.

But the Li family is powerful, and seeing Li Weidong, who came from the countryside, climbed higher and higher, even if she had all kinds of hatred, she could only hold back.

I even have to smile when I see the old lady of the Li family.

Although she didn't dare to do anything to the Li family, she didn't pay attention to Shazhu. Even in her opinion, Shazhu was Li Weidong's dog.

Silly Zhu naturally doesn't know these things, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. He never paid much attention to other people's ideas. It seems a bit silly, but he knows an idiom: great wisdom is like a fool.

He thinks that's what he is.

What happened to currying favor with the Li family?
At least when he has something to do, Li Weidong is willing to help him, and he will never let him work in vain.

Why does he like to invite Li Weidong to eat and drink?
It's not just that Li Weidong is a buddy, the key is that he knows how to behave, and every time he goes to his place, he will not empty his hands, bring wine and food.

If the three uncles were changed, and other people were changed, it is estimated that only one mouth is not enough, and I wish I could take two more when I want to leave.

Silly Zhu asked himself, no matter how generous he is, once or twice is enough, every time he does this, does he really beat him up?
These days, the landlord's family doesn't have much surplus food.

As for Qin Huairu's family, it was another matter. Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to suffer.

Even if others say he is stupid, he still enjoys it.

As long as you don't feel wronged.

Therefore, Li Weidong was the only one he really wanted to make friends with in the whole courtyard.

Now that the old lady of the Li family is celebrating her birthday, can he help?
As for those who speak bad things behind their backs, in his opinion, they are clearly envious and jealous.

Why did he ever take these rumors to heart?
On the other hand, Zhang Xiuzhen felt a little sorry to see Silly Zhu busy there. It was a family banquet, and there were not many people. She and Yang Fangfang, who was on leave, and her second son who came from the countryside early in the morning, were enough.

But in the end, he still couldn't beat Silly Zhu.

But after Zhou Xiaobai came, Zhang Xiuzhen focused on her future daughter-in-law.

At this moment, in the north room that Li Weidong had just tidied up, several women were talking, and the center of the topic was naturally Zhou Xiaobai.

After this experience, Yang Fangfang's temperament has changed. The two thick braids have long since disappeared, replaced by neat short hair. The whole person looks much more energetic, and she hardly looks like a country girl before.

For Yang Fangfang, working as a female prison guard on a farm was a turning point in her life.

Therefore, she also worked extraordinarily hard. She worked diligently at work and took the opportunity to learn after work.

Although she is Li Weidong's sister-in-law, she can also be regarded as Zhou Xiaobai's sister-in-law, but on the farm, she never shows off her status. Instead, she works harder, for fear of bringing bad influence on Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai.

On the contrary, Zhou Xiaobai didn't think so much, and often communicated with Yang Fangfang when she had something to do, because Li Weidong told her before that she couldn't live without her own people in the women's farm. Both Yang Fangfang and Li Zhankui's daughter-in-law Zhang Ruolan were available.

Zhou Xiaobai is pure and not really stupid, so he will naturally maintain this relationship.

But today, being surrounded by Li Weidong's grandma, mother, second aunt, and elders, she was really panicked.

Although she had been here once before, it would not be the same as it is now.

Now, she is Li Weidong's girlfriend.

This was even more uneasy than her first day as an instructor.

It's a pity that Li Weidong is not around at this time, so she can only look at Yang Fangfang for help. After all, she is most familiar with the people in the room.

In the outer living room, it was a man from the Li family.

Li Shuqun, Li Shuquan, Li Weidong, and Li Weimin.

This time, although Li Shuqun was sitting in the main seat, he no longer put on airs as the head of the family. During the past few months of "experiencing" in the countryside, he has obviously matured much more than before.

In the past at the newspaper office, although he was the office director of a certain department, to be honest, he really didn't have much power.

There are only so many people in a newspaper office, and the departments can't be counted in two palms. The relationship is more and more chaotic, and the work is more rigorous.

But in the countryside, although he is only the head of the radio station, his power is much greater than before.

Today's communes are equivalent to future townships.

He, the head of the radio station, will be the head of the propaganda department in the future.

Nowadays, publicity is emphasized. Every village and every brigade has a broadcaster to cooperate with the broadcasting station to do a good job of publicity.

Although he was tired in the countryside and often had to run to the brigade below, Li Shuqun regained his long-lost passion.

In addition, his identity is not a secret in the society. Everyone knows that he has a son named Li Weidong who has received first-class merit before, so Li Shuqun belongs to the meritorious family. The meritorious family members alone allowed Li Shuqun to gain a firm foothold in the society.

Although there were intrigues, but it was different from the newspaper office before. Some cadres in the countryside slapped the table and scolded their mothers at every turn, and some brigade captains dared to block the door with their bedding.

But in comparison, the fight below is more simple, unlike in the newspaper office, where there are seven or eight evil intentions in the belly. When the literati are dirty, they are really dirty.

When Li Shuqun went to the brigade to guide the work, some village cadres dared to scold them in front of their noses.

Therefore, after almost half a year of work, Li Shuqun has changed a lot from the inside out.

The look he looked at Li Weidong was also different from before, and he no longer entangled with the head of the family.

As for Li Weimin, he huddled in a corner, neither moving forward nor hiding in the room.

Although Li Shuqun went to the countryside, after getting used to it, and with the rights in his hands, he enjoyed it instead.

But Li Weimin was different. He used to stay at home, do nothing, go outside after eating and drinking, and what he heard were mostly flattery.

At home, although he didn't dare to talk back to Lao Tzu, he often yelled and scolded Yang Fangfang.

At that time, he could be said to be unrestrained and proud.

Even if he doesn't have a job, he is not in a hurry at all, and he doesn't mind people calling him a street slut, but secretly proud of himself.

But now, although he has a formal job, many people envy him, but he doesn't like it at all.

On the farm, the first thing is strict control. Although he is not like those prisoners who work every day with their eyes open and do not have any freedom, but because someone specifically told him, he can't be idle at all.

It's not like he hasn't been lazy or lost his temper, but within half a day of being locked up in the dark room, he completely collapsed. From then on, no matter what he was assigned to do, he would be obedient.

Moreover, other workers could choose to go home freely after work, but he could not. He had to stay on the farm obediently. He was not allowed to leave the farm without a valid reason, which was equivalent to a disguised form of imprisonment.

This time he was able to go home because Li Weidong greeted him. Anyway, it was impossible for him to remember the old lady's birthday.

After going through all these ordeals, he has learned to behave well now, knowing who can be messed with and who can't be messed with, and he is obviously much less courageous than before.

On today's occasion, he actually didn't want to stay here at all, because the four men of the Li family had no part in his speech at all, and could only be honest shadows.

In comparison, Li Weidong didn't talk much today, and only acted as a listener.

Li Shuquan looked at it secretly, his heart was clear.

While talking, the topic fell on Li Weidong again.

Li Weidong thought before that, taking advantage of the old lady's birthday, Li Shuqun and Li Shuquan were there, and invited Zhou Xiaobai's parents along the way.

But in the end he was rejected by Li Shuqun.

This time, Li Shuqun made a rare gesture of being an old man, saying: This is a bit disrespectful to Zhou Xiaobai's parents. After all, it is the first official meeting between the two families. Logically speaking, it should be the man who goes to the woman's home.

Or the man booked a restaurant outside and invited the woman's family to a dinner. This is a serious attitude.

What does it mean to invite the girl's parents to the house for the old lady's birthday?
Look down on others?
And there is no such truth.

So the meeting between the two was postponed until the day after tomorrow, which is the weekend.

At that time, Li Shuqun will also rush back from the countryside, and the two families will go to the hotel to officially meet to discuss the marriage between Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai.

This attitude is many times better than when Li Weimin got married.

The reason why Li Shuqun is unwilling to go to Zhou Xiaobai's house is probably because he also has some "inferiority" emotions.

Unlike when he went to Yang Fangfang's house to discuss marriage, Li Shuqun was very showy at that time.

But facing the Zhou family, even if he wanted to handle it, he couldn't handle it.

On the other side, the east room where Li Weidong originally lived has become a paradise for the three children.

It was rare for the old lady to celebrate her birthday, and all three little guys took a day off.

The main reason is that the primary school curriculum is relatively simple, there are no messy tutorials, even if you take a few days off, you don't have to worry about not being able to keep up.

Even after the busy farming season, schools in the countryside will be on holiday, and children will be sent home to help with work.

In contrast, students are relatively free.

Li Weiguo looked at the clean east room with envy on his face.

Although the room is not as big as his home, the floor is flat and clean, the walls are white, and there are no beams visible above the head. The most important thing is that there is a latrine.

In order to go to the latrine, Li Weiguo poured water into his stomach a lot.

It's just that Li Xueru was a little unhappy, and corrected Li Weiguo, it can't be called a latrine, it should be called a toilet.

Anyway, she had heard Li Weidong say this before, so she secretly remembered it.

In fact, she was not much better than Li Weiguo in the first few days of living here. Although this place is much smaller than the north house where she lived before, Li Xueru is more willing to live here.

Even now that the North House is tidied up, she doesn't envy her at all. She knows very well that the house in the North House is reserved for the second elder brother's wedding.

Li Xueru, who is a big kid, knows very well that if he wants to eat delicious food, he can only rely on his second brother.

The eldest brother was useless anyway. He had never given her a good look since she was a child. He even used to scare her a lot, so she didn't have a good impression of him. When he broke his leg, she still gloated about his misfortune for a long time.

As for the third brother, if he usually has delicious food, he will only snatch it from her.

So after counting and counting, the second brother is the best.

She would be scolded sometimes, but in order to eat delicious food, she didn't care so much.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Li Weidong had a conversation with him in the room, and then came out. Seeing that Sha Zhu was busy cooking, he stepped forward to talk.

"Hey, what kind of busy work is this? It's much easier than working in the factory."

Sha Zhu said without hesitation.

He often helped Deputy Director Li set up a small canteen in the factory. On the contrary, the factory manager seldom bothered him, and he would not easily treat guests in the small cafeteria in the factory. Compared with Deputy Factory Manager Li, he was much more honest.

"How's it going with Qin Jingru? When will we have the wedding banquet?"

Li Weidong asked again.

Yes, Qin Jingru.

Now Sha Zhu has completely broken up with Yu Li, because Jia Zhang's secret tricks made Yu Li's parents have a bad impression of Sha Zhu, and they don't allow their daughter to associate with Sha Zhu anymore.

After all, Yu Li is a serious city dweller. In the eyes of her parents, Shazhu is old and ugly. In the past, her daughter could just let it go if she wanted to. As long as Shazhu is honest and good to her daughter, They also admit it.

But after Jiazhang's mischief, they had a bad impression of Shazhu, and they would rather break up forcibly than their daughter jump into the fire pit.

In this way, after Sha Zhu visited the house several times without any results, and Qin Jingru took the initiative several times under the instigation of Jia Zhang, she actually completely captured Sha Zhu.

Last time, Shazhu found Li Weidong, told the matter, and asked for Li Weidong's opinion by the way.

Although from Li Weidong's perspective, Yu Li is more suitable. This girl is more shrewd. After marrying Silly Zhu, she can at least support her family.

But at that time, Li Weidong felt Shazhu's emotions, and this guy was shaken first, and although he and Qin Jingru hadn't broken through the last step, they must have hooked up a lot.

In order to stay in the city, Qin Jingru is obviously willing to let it go. In addition, Shazhu was drugged by accident before, which more or less took advantage of it. Once she put down her face and took the initiative, Shazhu, an older bachelor, can bear it. strange.

Therefore, at that time, Silly Zhu obviously asked Li Weidong for his opinion, but in fact he had already had a tendency in his heart.

Besides, Qin Jingru is a yellow-flowered girl who is also good-looking. Except for the rural household registration, she is not bad in other aspects.

After knowing Shazhu's tendency, Li Weidong didn't persuade him to continue chasing Yu Li.

This is the life of a fool.

Although Li Weidong also regarded Silhu as a good friend, he was unwilling to get involved in the other person's emotional problems.

And Qin Jingru is not bad no matter if he is doing housework or cooking.

Serving Shazhu is enough.

Although Jia Zhang's urging Qin Jingru has no good intentions, Qin Jingru is not really stupid. After marrying Shazhu, he will naturally focus on his own small family.

Therefore, in Li Weidong's view, there is nothing wrong with Sha Zhu marrying Qin Jingru.
