The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 349, the pretty widow comes to visit

There were four old men sitting at a table not far from the next door. One of them whispered to the other old man: "Old man, what do you think of what our brothers said yesterday? Is there anything you can do about it?"

The old man, who was called Lao Fu, calmly looked around and saw that the shop was in full swing. Everyone was eating their own food and no one was paying attention to their table, so he said softly:

"I understand what you guys mean. It's not that I don't want to help. You will know what kind of life my family is living now. If you don't invite me to the barbecue season, I can't bear to come. Now I What can I do?”

"Old Master, what you said is meaningless. It's not like everyone doesn't know your situation, so you can just help me. Life is really sad for everyone now. We all have the same ancestors. This kind of difficult situation We should help each other all the time.”

". Sigh. I really can't tell you this. I'll give it a try later."

"Hey, that's a good feeling. Come on, old master, I respect you."

"Yes, yes, come on, old man, let's drink and drink."

Li Weiguo, who was having a good meal, felt that one of the people's voices was particularly familiar to him in the conversation. He turned his head and glanced there from the corner of his eye, and he saw someone he knew.

The table not far next door is his old buddy from the black market, Lao Fu.

Previously, Lao Fu had been helping him sell meat and grain in the circle of the elderly and young. Later, the market environment gradually deteriorated, and Li Weiguo slowly stopped supplying him with meat and grain.

Since then, Lao Fu has been collecting various old objects, gold and jade for Li Weiguo to earn some benefits and supplies. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that I met him during the barbecue season.

However, Li Weiguo was not worried about Lao Fu recognizing him. He never showed his true face during transactions and spoke in a lowered voice. Lao Fu would not be able to recognize him unless he looked at him carefully.

Listening to their conversation, although they didn't say anything about sensitive topics, Li Weiguo could also hear some meaning in the words. It is probably because the market environment is not good now, and these pampered old people have suffered too much. No, I want to get some supplies from Lao Fu.

But calculating the time, the three-year famine started at the end of 5. The first year of 5 was relatively good. The real difficulties were and . These two years were the most difficult, especially now that there are so many fresh products on the market. The supply of meat and fresh eggs has been cut off, and many supplies may not be available even with tickets.

These old people and young people themselves don’t have good jobs or good channels, so if they want to improve their lives, they can only find ways to improve their lives through people like Lao Fu who have some special channels.

Li Weiguo thought about it while eating, feeling that it was time to harvest a wave of these leftovers.

This year is the last year of the famine. After this year, things will slowly get better in the future. If you don’t take advantage of the current difficulties to take advantage of them, and wait until they get over it, you can try to take advantage of their pockets in the future. It’s not easy to get the good stuff out.

Instead of them destroying the good things or waiting for a strong wind to destroy them, it would be better for him to collect them and store them carefully.

It doesn't matter whether he sells it for money or not. When he has some free time in the future, he might as well open a private museum and seduce those idiots to send him banners.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo secretly made up his mind to meet Lao Fu at night.

As for now, let’s enjoy the barbecue first.

The three brothers exchanged glasses, eating barbecue and thinking about the future. When they were happy, they even drank a few glasses of wine with each other.

Yu Yu, Yuan Manxia, ​​Pang Xiaoyue and the others were eating meat and drinking Arctic Ocean, whispering from time to time, and then looking at their men.

The years are quiet and peaceful, and my eyes are full of peace of mind.

The three young couples ate a sumptuous barbecue for nearly two hours.

It wasn't until 1:30 in the afternoon that the six of them came out of the "barbecue season" with their mouths full of oil and satisfaction.

When they came out, Zhao Guobing and Zhou Can were already a little drunk.

They had just finished two bottles of Erguotou, and Zhao Guobing added two more bottles in the middle. Taking advantage of the excitement of being promoted, these two rookies had to drag Li Weiguo to drink. As a result, each of them drank more than one bottle, and now they are talking a little loudly. .

As for Li Weiguo, he is just like a normal person. Even if he doesn't use space to cheat, he can drink seven or eight kilograms of wine now. This bottle is just enough to quench his thirst.

Zhou Can, Pang Xiaoyue and Zhao Guobing were sent home one after another. Li Weiguo also returned to the courtyard after taking a walk outside with the rain.

Because it was the weekend, everyone was free, and the courtyard was extremely lively. From time to time, you could see a few little kids running around and playing around in and outside the courtyard.

Li Weiguo sent the rainwater all the way back. When he arrived at the middle courtyard, he saw the first aunt holding Tiedan'er in her arms, gathering with the second aunt, third aunt, Qin Huairu and others, chatting about the family's shortcomings.

"Hey, Auntie, why don't you bring Tiedan'er out to recognize someone?" Li Weiguo and Yuyu said hello to Auntie and others as they approached.

Seeing that they were back, the eldest mother smiled and said: "Weiguo and Yuyu are back. Yes, Tiedan'er has slowly adapted to it in the past few days. Now she knows how to recognize people. Just now she was talking to your second aunt and your second aunt. Third aunt is saying hello, haha."

When the matter of the child was mentioned, the eldest mother's face was all smiles. Now that she had Tie Dan'er as her sustenance, her whole spirit was different. As she spoke, the eyes she looked at Tie Dan were full of satisfaction and peace of mind.

Li Weiguo took a closer look at Tiedan'er and saw that although he was huddled in his aunt's arms and not talking much, the child was not afraid of strangers.

A pair of childish big eyes are full of curiosity, looking around from time to time, and showing no vigilance or rejection of the people and things around him. It seems that the careful care of the first man and his wife these days is very effective. The child has initially adapted to the courtyard. environment of.

Seeing this, Li Weiguo also felt relieved: "Okay, that's good. Tiedan'er looks smart. I think after a while, he will be able to recognize everyone in our hospital."

The eldest mother smiled and said: "Then I accept your good advice. Come, Tiedan'er, say hello to your brother Wei Guo."

"Brother Wei Guo?"

Tiedan'er blinked his big eyes and subconsciously responded.

"Hey. This kid Tiedan'er is really smart. He can call someone after just one lesson, hehehe."

Little Tiedan'er's performance immediately attracted praise from the second aunt, the third aunt, Qin Huairu and others. Their children are afraid of strangers when they are so old. If they want to let them say hello to outsiders, they have to be taught two or three times. That's right, it's really rare to see someone as obedient and obedient as Tiedan'er.

Li Weiguo smiled. Since the child called him brother, he couldn't let him call him brother in vain, so he reached into his pocket and with a thought, he took out two fruit candies and stuffed them into his hand, making the third aunt wait. People felt envious.

Tie Dan'er held the candy in his hand, knowing that it was something delicious, his eyes lit up, and he immediately gave him a smile.

Li Weiguo teased him with a smile, and chatted a few words with the aunts and sisters present. After sending the rainwater back, he stopped participating in their chat and went directly back to the front yard.

After returning home, Li Weiguo immediately changed out of his Chinese tunic suit. He had been out for a long time today, and his body was full of the smell of barbecue and alcohol, which was really unpleasant.
