Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Ever since Li Zhenmin became an alcoholic and later practiced Taoism, Xu Jingshan has suffered a lot.

At first he could still scold him a few words, but later Li Zhenmin simply ignored him. His face became thicker and thicker, and he acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. His scolding became completely harmless.

So later on, Xu Jingshan was too lazy to say anything.

Others mainly tried to give guidance and show concern, but that was obviously useless.

When Li Wanying came here today, the situation changed immediately. Several people were happy from the bottom of their hearts and felt that it would be the right choice for Li Wanying to move in.

From now on, Li Zhenmin must not stay up all night and must get up on time in the morning.

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and bring out the food."

Shen Wenyin reacted and went to the kitchen.

Liu Cuifang glanced around and asked in confusion: "Wen Yin, where is Xiao Guang?"

Xiaoguang is Shen Wenyin's son. He is a filial and sensible child. He is eighteen years old this year. Since he is the only child in the family, he did not go to the countryside to become an educated youth.

Because the college entrance examination was suspended, Xiaoguang did not take the college entrance examination. In the past two years, he studied mechanical knowledge with Li Zhenmin and made rapid progress. Now he can stand on his own.

However, he did not think of working in the steel rolling mill, mainly because he was afraid of gossip that he relied on Li Zhenmin and Shen Wenyin to get to his position, so he was applying for jobs in other units during this period.

I heard yesterday that I had been successful in the job and will be working at the tractor factory tomorrow.

Logically, he should have been at home since he had nothing to do today, but he was nowhere to be seen at lunch.

Shen Wenyin's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and then she smiled and said, "He went out with his friends this morning and said he would be back in the evening."

Liu Cuifang didn't ask much, but she always felt something was weird. Under normal circumstances, everyone here should go to the wedding. After all, it was Li Zhenmin's apprentice getting married, and they often visited each other, so it was only natural for them to go to the wedding.

Of course, if we really talk about the relationship, it doesn’t matter if Xiaoguang doesn’t go, but I just feel a little uncomfortable.

But think about it, Xiaoguang has always been a sensible child, it is impossible that he did not notice this, so he probably did not go because there was something really important.

Liu Cuifang thought about it and said, "If you can spare the time, let Xiaoguang go to the wedding in the afternoon and bring his friends along. It will be more lively with more people."

Shen Wenyin nodded: "Well, I'll go talk to him after dinner, in case he forgets."

Liu Cuifang finally felt relieved.

After a while, Shen Wenyin brought the food over. Li Zhenmin had already put on his clothes and washed up, and came out with Li Wanying.

Li Wanying kept chattering in Li Zhenmin's ear, making Li Zhenmin very uncomfortable.

"Brother, today is your apprentice's wedding day, how could you forget it?"

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you really should pay attention."

"Brother, you have an untidy beard and your hair is so long. You look like an old man. Where is the handsome guy you used to be? I'll fix it for you after dinner."

Li Zhenmin: “…”

"Little ancestor, please be quiet. Believe it or not, I will marry you!"

"What are you thinking? How can I get married when I have a brother like you?"

"Then I'll give you away for free!"

"Haha, is this something you can decide? Have you forgotten that we still have our dad? Do you believe me, I will let my dad take care of you?"

"I surrender, I admit defeat, please stop chanting, Master."

Li Zhenmin tried to refute but finally surrendered.

Others saw it and smiled.

.........

After lunch.

Li Wanying wanted to have a haircut and shave with Li Zhenmin, but Li Zhenmin said he would go outside to find a professional master to do it, but in the end he was no match for Li Wanying.

"Don't move, or I'll cut your hair into bald spots... A-choo~~"

Li Wanying was cutting her hair very carefully and didn't want to be reminded. But as she was talking, she was irritated by a few strands of hair that flew near her nose and sneezed violently.

As a result, his little hand trembled, and his already rough technique caused a gap in Li Zhenmin's hair.

The house suddenly became quiet!

Li Zhenmin sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he asked in confusion: "You are not really going to turn me into a leper, are you?"

Li Wanying shrank her neck and smiled awkwardly, "I think your hair is too long. It would look better if it were shorter. I'll fix it for you right away."

The corners of Li Zhenmin's mouth twitched, he didn't understand what was going on.

Xu Jingshan on the side laughed and said, "It's better to be shorter. It looks more lively. Whether it looks good or not is secondary. Anyway, your brother doesn't care about his image. In my opinion, you should just flatten it all."

As he spoke, he suddenly got inspired and stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'll do it, I've learned from others in public performances, I'm good at giving a crew cut!"

Li Zhenmin was frightened and quickly stood up and stepped back, saying warily, "Old Deng, don't do anything rash. Although I don't care about my appearance, today is Yan Jiecheng's wedding after all. It would be inappropriate for me to go with a bald head, right?"

Xu Jingshan preferred to ignore the so-called "Lao Deng". He took the scissors from Li Wanying's hand and walked towards Li Zhenmin with a smile: "Don't be afraid, little Li. At worst, I can find you a hat to wear. You sit down quickly and let me enjoy it... ahem, let me show off my barbering skills."

"Put down the scissors, Lao Deng. They are dangerous!"

"What's so dangerous about it? I've been a doctor for so many years. This is much more professional than being a barber. Don't worry, I promise my hands won't shake. It's very steady!"

"Steady, I don't know what you're thinking, put it down now."

"What can I think? You are my grandson, how can I harm you?"

Because Liu Cuifang was standing at the door, Li Zhenmin couldn't just rush out, so the two of them just wandered around in the room, one a naughty boy and the other a frightened little white mouse.

Shen Wenyin also found this scene funny, as if the joyful atmosphere of the past had returned. Then she looked at the time and said, "Grandpa Xu, please stop. You can't keep running. Let me do it."

Xu Jingshan was indeed tired, and then he glared at Li Zhenmin: "You are a ruthless boy. I will let you go this time, but next time I will shave your head while you are sleeping."

Li Zhenmin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Wenyin take the scissors.

He was confident in Shen Wenyin's skills. She was the one who used to be in charge of cutting hair at home. Although she was not as skilled as professional barbers, she was pretty good at doing ordinary hairstyles.

The room finally fell silent.

Watching Shen Wenyin carefully cutting Li Zhenmin's hair and shaving his beard, the others looked at each other and turned away tactfully.

inside the house.

Shen Wenyin was cutting Li Zhenmin's hair while chatting in a soft voice.

"You have white hair now. You should be more careful now that you are an adult. Why do you have to do your work at night? It's not like you don't have time during the day. You have time in the office when you are at work, and you also have time when you get home, right?"

Li Zhenmin opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Shen Wenyin added, "Xiaoguang admires you very much. Did you know that he has found a job? He is in the tractor factory and will start work tomorrow. He also said that he will use his first salary to buy you leather shoes."

"Ah?" Li Zhenmin paused, then smiled and said, "It's good to find a job."

And then nothing happened, because he really couldn't find any other topic to talk about.

After a long silence, Shen Wenyin's voice sounded again: "You..."

He started to speak but stopped again.

Li Zhenmin asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shen Wenyin smiled slightly: "It's okay, I just can't go to the wedding banquet today. Xiaoguang has the plan, I'll go down and take a look. Please say hello to Yan Jiecheng for me."
