Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 90 Tensions are high on New Year’s Eve

Li Xiuzhu looked at Chen Xueru sitting in the middle, and suddenly felt that there was an 'uncle' in the yard.

With such power, who could be more suitable for the position of 'uncle' than Chen Xueru?
Although the meeting was over, the subsequent discussion was not over.

After returning home, Auntie looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Lao Yi, do you think this is true what Chen Xueru said?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded and shook his head after hearing this.

"I think it's true, but I can't tell that couple. Maybe they're just fooling us."

"Just watch, the right and wrong will always reveal the truth."

The aunt nodded with deep understanding.

"It is."

Yanbu Guijia was also asking the same thing.

"Lao Yan, you and Li Xiuzhu are so familiar, do you think what they said is true or false? Li Xiuzhu really doesn't care about the Sun family's little wife?"

Yan Bugui looked at his mother-in-law displeased.

"Look what you are saying? Not to mention that my brother Li has three beautiful wives at home. It is impossible to miss him."

"Let's just think that my brother Li has strange hobbies and likes other people's families. It's not Zhou Rushui's turn."

"Think about what Chen Xueru does? She runs a silk shop. The beautiful woman she knew must have died in the sea."

"Do you know how many concubines from rich families can't bear that one bite?"

"If my brother Li is really thoughtful, Chen Xueru will be willing to help me pimp her. Who will get her, Zhou Rushui."

After hearing this analysis from her man, the third aunt suddenly became enlightened.

The third aunt looked at Yan Bugui with admiration and said, "Master, you know so much."

Yan Bugui shook his head proudly.

"That's right, we are all cultural people."

Although Li Xiuzhu always said that he was uneducated, neither he nor Lao Liu Ke thought so.

They all agreed that Li Xiuzhu was literate. He was even better than them in some aspects, but of course he was not as good as them in some aspects.

This conclusion was not something they guessed, but came from testing during daily chats.

Speaking of which, he kind of thought of his fishing friends.

It's a pity that Li Xiuzhu stopped fishing after December, saying it was getting cold.

He went there twice, and once he met Lao Liu, but Li Xiuzhu's absence always felt that it was not the same.

Lao Liu's fishing rod was also ready, but he didn't bring it back because Lao Liu had kept it at home, waiting for Li Xiuzhu to pick it up.

Also, no one knows when they will encounter something weighing ten pounds.

Every time I take it fishing, once or twice is fine, but more times will be tiring.

But regarding Li Xiuzhu and Zhou Rushui, there are those who don't believe it, and there are also those who believe it.

I have to say that Mrs. Jia Zhang was the one who believed it, and she believed it very seriously and resolutely. Those who didn’t know it thought that Ms. Jia Zhang saw the two of them with their own eyes.

"No, Mom, please stop talking. It won't be good if someone hears this."

Mrs. Jia Zhang just listened to what she wanted to say. Is it possible to say it?
But thinking about it, Chen Xueru didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Zheng Hongying was trying to figure out the authenticity and said nothing.

Each family has its own discussions, but they are inseparable from the Li family and the Sun family.

Early the next morning, Li Xiuzhu went to Fang Weiguo and Wang Kai.

It's not that you can't go to Sun Jingye's, it's just that it's more convenient here.

The guards at the door were all old acquaintances and smiled when they saw Li Xiuzhu.

"Brother Li is here to do business with our captain again?"

Li Xiuzhu laughed when he heard this and said: "If we don't do anything this time, isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? Look at the two elders."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu opened the door and went in.

He opened the door of Fang Weiguo's office with ease. Fang Weiguo and Wang Kai were both there.

"Oh, it's just a coincidence that I came here. It's rare that our two uncles are together today."

The two of them laughed when they heard this, and Wang Kai laughed and scolded: "If you don't hurry up, you little monkey, you will let go of your little warmth."

As soon as Li Xiuzhu came in, Fang Weiguo asked, "Tell me, what happened this time?"

Li Xiuzhu's face darkened.

"Uncle Fang, don't tell me that I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Am I definitely here to do something?"

When Fang Weiguo heard this, he said angrily: "Then tell me, except for the dinner date when you just got married, when did you not come here to do something?"

"..." It seems, it seems like this?
Li Xiuzhu chuckled and said, "So aren't we here to have a dinner date with you two?"

"We have agreed on the New Year's Eve dinner. I will invite you this time. Can the Cheng Mansion banquet be okay?"

The two were startled when they heard the words.

"Cheng Mansion Banquet? Where is that? Have you heard of it, Old Wang?"

"No, but the name sounds like it's not a small restaurant."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and explained: "It's a private kitchen, similar to Tan's cuisine."

Fang Weiguo still knows about Tan's cuisine. It is an old name in the capital, so people often mention it.

If it can be compared with Tan's cuisine, it may not be worse than the Eighth Building.

"Why spend that wasted money? Wouldn't it be nice to eat at your own home?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "I live in a courtyard house, it's inconvenient."

Fang Weiguo said angrily: "Why is this inconvenient? Why don't we, Uncle Fang, have the face to see anyone?"

Li Xiuzhu explained: "You are officials and we are the people. If it is known that I know the officials, Uncle Fang, what do you think the custom will be in the courtyard in the future?"

"And if someone comes to me for help with something, will I help or not?"

"If you don't help, it will hurt the harmony between the neighbors, and it will be even worse if you help."

"I try not to trouble my uncles with my own affairs."

"Help them, what if something happens to the gang?"

Hearing this, Fang Weiguo and Wang Kai looked at each other. Fang Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay, you can sit there first. I'll call the old company commander. Let's listen to the old company commander."

"Okay, then Uncle Wang, you can fight."

Li Xiuzhu didn't know his identity, so he walked to a cabinet with ease, took out a teapot, and made himself a teacup.

It's winter, so you have to drink something hot.

Li Xiuzhu sat aside, glanced at the things in front of Wang Kai, and then turned aside consciously.

Over there, Fang Weiguo had already made a call.

Wang Kai saw Li Xiuzhu turning his head and said, "It's okay to learn more knowledge. I don't want to become a cultural person, but you also need to know what simple things mean, otherwise you will be eliminated sooner or later."

Li Xiuzhu was unconvinced when he heard this.

"Uncle Wang, what you said is too much. If you don't read it, it means I don't understand it. Aren't these the pre-construction drawings of a military base?"

"I will see some things that I should see, but I won't see some things that I shouldn't see."

"I saw something so important. What if something happens again and they treat me as an enemy agent?"

"Don't say you're protecting me, you can't afford it."

Wang Kai was startled when he heard this, and then smiled.

"You brat, that's interesting. I learned a lesson from you today."

"Okay, you're right, this is really not something I can afford."

As he spoke, Wang Kai closed the information in his hand and stopped reading.

Li Xiuzhu didn't turn around anymore.

A few minutes later, Fang Weiguo also put down the phone and said, "Your uncle, you want to go home."

"We don't all wear military uniforms. Then at six o'clock on New Year's Eve, we will take a bus to the south entrance of Nanluogu Lane. You will pick us up and we will walk in."

Is that so?It's not impossible. In that case, just ask Lao He to cook two tables of Tan's dishes.

There are eight people, four boys and four girls, even with a few children.

But you have to prepare a big table. Women and children are not allowed to sit at the men's table. He understands this rule.

"Okay, then I'll go back and make arrangements."

"You brat, I didn't even ask you to sit down for a while."

Li Xiuzhu didn't stay and said directly: "No, we will see you in two days. I won't delay my uncles' working time now."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu raised his eyebrows mischievously.

"Uncles, work hard."

"Stinky boy..."

"Ma yo go!"

Time flies and New Year's Eve arrives.

Li Xiuzhu had made an agreement with He Daqing a long time ago, and the materials were delivered three days in advance. According to the standard of five yuan per table, he paid ten yuan directly.

Tian Zao is also three months pregnant, and her morning sickness has disappeared, and the family can now have plenty of food and fish.

Of course, there are also light dishes, sweet and sour, and spicy and sour dishes.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the three women are all at home. Each of them is wearing new clothes, or Soviet-style business attire designed by Li Xiuzhu.

However, in order to better fit the Chinese body shape, there are still certain modifications.

For example, the waist is thinner and the proportions are smaller, and the bell-bottoms have turned into loose straight pants.Solid colors are more atmospheric and simple, fashionable and sexy.

(ps, clothing style)
Chen Xueru looked at Qin Huairu wearing new clothes and thought she looked very good. If she took a picture of it and put it in the store, she would definitely be able to sell a few more pieces.

"Huai Ru, after the Chinese New Year, I will take some photos of you and put them in the store. I will use them as publicity for my sister."

Qin Huairu was startled when he heard this, and said a little unconfidently: "Sister, can I do this?"

"I said yes, of course. Didn't you see that your brother was fascinated by you and glanced at you several times? That's it."

Li Xiuzhu said speechlessly after hearing this: "Come to think of it, why are you teasing me? Do I think my wife still needs to peek?"

"But this idea is indeed a good one. I think you and Zao'er can also take a group photo so that people can see how different people wear them."

"Forget about the American version. I'll look for models when I get there."

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this and said, "Did you see that your brother also agreed?"

As she spoke, Chen Xueru looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Xiuzhu, have you booked your flight tickets?"

"Well, it's scheduled for the third grade of junior high school. The first grade of junior high school will be spent at home. The second grade of junior high school will be at your house. I will leave on the third grade of junior high school."

"I've also told you about the Huairu family's affairs. If they come, you can make a decision and wait until I come back to make arrangements."

Chen Xueru nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, feel free to go. I'm here at home and I'll take care of the arrangements."

Time passed by at five o'clock in the afternoon, and all the stoves in Li Xiuzhu's house were in use.

There are five fires in total, and each one is occupied. There is an aluminum pot sitting on the stove, and a pot is simmering in the pot.

There were two drawers of steamed buns steaming on the big fire in the house. There was no room in the kitchen for side dishes or anything else, and even the dining table in the living room was full.

Li Xiuzhu arrived at the south entrance of Nanluogu Lane at 45:[-].

As soon as I arrived, I heard the sound of cars nearby.

Li Xiuzhu was startled, then looked at the three cars on the side and walked up.

Before anyone could pass by, the car door opened.

Li Xiuzhu smiled bitterly and said, "I came early on purpose. I didn't expect you, Uncle Wang, to come earlier. Doesn't this make me seem ignorant?"

Wang Hai smiled and patted Li Xiuzhu on the shoulder and said, "You kid, don't think too much."

"We are soldiers, so we are used to everything being done sooner rather than later, and you are not late."

"Let's go, where is home? Let's talk while we walk."

While Wang Hai was talking, everyone in the other cars also got off.

Li Xiuzhu took a look and saw that there were only two children, and he didn't know which uncle they belonged to.

The two children, both about three or four years old, were looking at Li Xiuzhu curiously.

"Uncle Fang, Uncle Xiao Wang, and Uncle Sun."

"Are these aunts? They are so young, I wouldn't even dare to recognize them outside."

Suddenly several women laughed. No one likes to hear what they say when they are young, especially women.

"This kid is really good at talking. No wonder your uncle Wang always praises you."

Wang Hai said again: "Let's wait until we get home to introduce you. It's very cold outside."

"Yes, my nephew is not thinking clearly. Uncle and aunt, please come with me."

Such a large number of people entering the yard naturally attracted the attention of other families. The first ones noticed were Yan Bugui and Qian's family in the front yard.

Yan Bugui and Li Xiuzhu were familiar with each other, so they were naturally more casual. When he saw that the team led by Li Xiuzhu came in, he asked curiously: "Li Xiuzhu, is this your relative?"

"Yes, a few uncles and aunts came to see how I was doing during the Chinese New Year."

"Brother Yan, let's not talk today. See you later."

Yan Bugui understands.

"Okay, you go about your business first, and we'll talk some other time."

The men who were looking at Yan Bugui were stunned for a moment, and everyone except Wang Hai felt a little numb.

I feel so embarrassed that I want to pick my toes.

Brother Yan?Is this guy about the same age as them?

This is very speechless...

The four women did not expect Li Xiuzhu to call Yan Bugui brother, but looking at the awkward looks of the three men on the side, they immediately laughed.

The sound of silver bells rang in the courtyard, coupled with the sounds of children playing in the courtyard, it was a unique scene.

The Jia family, the Yi family and the He family in the middle courtyard were also cooking New Year's Eve dinner. Following the sound, they saw a group of people who had walked in.

The eldest mother said, "Xiao Li, relatives are here. Do you have enough food at home? I'll give you some dumplings later."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu smiled and refused: "Sister-in-law Yi, I asked Brother He to prepare the banquet. No need."

Then the eldest mother smiled and said: "I said it's not Lao He who is cooking at the He family today on New Year's Eve. I'm going to your family to cook."

"Okay, then go back quickly, it's cold outside."

Looking at the aunt's age, the aunts are no longer calm now.

Sister-in-law Yi was obviously older than them. At this moment, they felt the embarrassment of the men.

Wang Hai was also a little speechless, and asked hesitantly: "Boy, you are quite senior in this yard."

Li Xiuzhu said casually: "Hey, we are all neighbors, what kind of seniority do we have?"

Sun Jingye couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Then you call them eldest brother and sister-in-law? Is that appropriate?"

Li Xiuzhu chuckled and said, "Uncle Sun, am I very smart?"

"I called it that way as soon as I entered the yard, and decided my seniority first."

"But mainly I don't want to be lectured on the basis of seniority. Now that everyone is equal, no one can use seniority to suppress others. Isn't that great?"

Sun Jingye and several others were stunned by this. They were the only two children who were not familiar with the world and did not understand what it meant.

"Your skills are amazing!"

"My grandson has never convinced anyone except the old company commander in his life, but I have to be convinced by your skills and your ability to drink."

Saying this, Li Xiuzhu and the others entered the backyard.

As soon as he entered the backyard, he met the old lady sunbathing in the doorway. Before Li Xiuzhu could say anything, Sun Jingye came up to her and asked in a low voice: "Don't say this, you are also called sister-in-law."

Sun Jingye's voice was not loud, but everyone around him heard it and became nervous.

If she were called sister-in-law, then they would be under a lot of pressure.

Li Xiuzhu rolled his eyes. Before he could speak, he heard the other side shouting: "Grandson, my wife wants to spend time with you today."

Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but want to roll his eyes again when he heard this.

But I just turned over one and haven't taken it back yet. I can't turn it over.

"Really, you are taking advantage of me again."

"But not today, there are relatives coming home."

"When the meal is ready, I will bring some to you."

"Today's meal is special. I'll charge you five yuan."

The old lady didn't care about the money, and she didn't insist on eating at Li Xiuzhu's house. She just agreed with a smile.

"Okay, give the wife something softer."

"Don't worry, aren't you worried about Brother He's Tan's cuisine?"

"It turns out that Mr. He did it. Well... my wife can wait."

The people listening on the sidelines were numb again. An old lady charged five yuan for a meal. They could already imagine the value of this meal.

"Xiao Li, isn't this too expensive?"

The person who spoke should be Wang Hai's wife. She was the one who said my old Wang was here before.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said: "I didn't invite my uncle or aunt to my wedding before. Last time I asked Uncle Wang to invite me. Don't I have to show off?"

"It's okay. My wife owns a silk shop, so she's good at it. Auntie, feel free to eat, but don't worry about it."

As they spoke, they arrived at the door of Li Xiuzhu's house.

Qin Huairu had been watching by the door. When she saw someone, she shouted inside, so Chen Xueru and Tian Zao happened to come out.

Seeing three beautiful and fashionably dressed women appearing at the door of Li Xiuzhu's house, everyone was stunned for a moment, wondering which one was Li Xiuzhu's wife.

Why are the sisters from Xiao Li's wife's family here?Is it possible that her parents’ family is all here?

However, Chen Xueru was in business, and there was no way she could remain silent. She spoke first, "This is Xiuzhu's uncle and aunt. I am Chen Xueru, Xiuzhu's wife."

"This is Tian Zao, Xiuzhu's concubine."

"This is Qin Huairu, Xiuzhu's concubine."

"Uncles and aunties, please come in quickly, it's cold outside."

"Huai Ru, tell Lao He that you can cook."

Everyone looked at each other in shock for a while. No one knew that Li Xiuzhu was married three times.

Wang Hai's wife hesitated for a moment, then said first: "Let's go in and talk first."

After saying that, I went in first.

Li Xiuzhu and Chen Xueru looked at each other, wondering what went wrong.

Because there were prepared dishes on the table inside, I didn't go in.

The men sat down at tables in the hallway, and the women went into the next room.

As soon as they entered the room, Wang Hai's wife Deng Ying said, "Xueru, I have something I want to talk to you about."

　Let me say it again, if you ask a question, you will be attacked personally.
