The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

After a few minutes, Yu Li and Zhou Hui came out together.

"Hey, your family is here to pick you up again."

When Zhou Hui saw Liu Minghui, she said to Yu Li with a smile.

"What's wrong? You're envious, but that's useless. You should find someone to marry as soon as possible."

Yu Li said bluntly that Zhou Hui was staring at her husband all day long, which made Yu Li very unhappy.

"Don't worry, I won't compete with you. Why are you always on guard against me?"

Zhou Hui said unhappily.

"What are you talking about?"

Liu Minghui looked at the two people talking and walked over and asked.

"Nothing, let's go back."

Yu Li was too embarrassed to tell Liu Minghui about it. She couldn't say that he was too outstanding and make herself feel a sense of crisis.

After saying that, he got on the bicycle.

"What are you holding?"

Seeing that Liu Minghui was holding a bag in his hand, Yu Li asked curiously.

"Watermelon. I happened to see someone selling it on the road today, so I bought two."

Liu Minghui said while riding a bicycle.

"Oh, are there any watermelons now?"

Yu Li was a little confused. You know, it's almost October now, and there shouldn't be any watermelons now.

"What you are saying can't be that people collect it late."

Liu Minghui retorted that this was the reason why he dared to take it out. It was not the coldest time of the year, so what was wrong with having watermelon?

"Okay, okay, let's go home quickly. I want to eat."

Yu Li urged Liu Minghui to hurry back to the courtyard.

"Don't worry, there are two of them, enough for you to eat."

After saying this, Liu Minghui quickened his pace and returned to the courtyard in more than ten minutes.

I didn't see Yan Bugui when I entered the courtyard, but the central courtyard was noisy, so I guess he was in the central courtyard.

However, Liu Minghui didn't think about going there now, and decided to go home with Yu Li first.

After returning home, Yu Li took a watermelon and put it in cold water in the kitchen, intending to chill it so that it would taste better later.

"Hubby, do you think they are all in the middle courtyard now?"

Yu Li listened to the noise coming from the central courtyard and wanted to go and take a look.

"What's wrong? If you want to go and see, let's go over there."

Liu Minghui saw the eager expression on Yu Li's face, so he stood up and took Yu Li to the central courtyard.

Walking through the porch of the central courtyard, I saw many neighbors chatting together in groups of three or four.

"Hey, Third Uncle, what are you doing?"

Liu Minghui saw Yan Bugui running around there and started asking questions.

"Minghui, you're back. Don't you want to take the food to Shazhu's house? Shazhu will cook this afternoon's meal."

Seeing that it was Liu Minghui coming, Yan Bugui said with a smile.

Several neighbors nearby also greeted them, after all, it was Liu Minghui who brought benefits to everyone this time.

One should be grateful to the person who has helped him. Even Jia Zhang looked very friendly when she saw Liu Minghui.

"Okay, I'll bring some vegetables and stuff over later. I forgot about it just now."

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Liu Minghui hurriedly spoke.

"That's not necessary. You can just fight back later. We'll all come out with the side dishes."

Yan Bugui quickly said that Liu Minghui had already caught a big fish, so Liu Minghui could not be asked to catch anything else.

It’s the same with Sha Zhu, he is only responsible for helping with cooking and providing some seasonings.

Seeing what everyone said, Liu Minghui had no choice but to agree. Since he had nothing to do, Liu Minghui went into He Yuzhu's house to take a look.

After entering, I found that not only He Yuzhu was at home, but also the third aunt and the first aunt were helping inside, especially Xu Damao was also inside.

"Da Mao, what are you doing here?"

Liu Minghui saw Xu Damao watching outside the kitchen like a big boss and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm just bored, so I'm here to stop Shazhu from embezzling things."

Xu Damao spoke with a smile, but still spoke in a very low voice, otherwise if He Yuzhu heard it, Xu Damao might not be able to eat and would get beaten.

"Da Mao, just be careful. You are in someone else's house and you still say bad things about He Yuzhu. Don't let anyone help you when you get beaten up later."

Liu Minghui shook his head, not wanting to pay attention to Xu Damao. After that, he walked into the kitchen and took a look.

He Yuzhu was cooking at that time. Liu Minghui found that He Yuzhu was indeed a family-inherited chef. His movements were very skillful, and there were many bottles and jars on the stove.

You know, it’s not easy for ordinary people to prepare so many seasonings at home.

After taking a look, Liu Minghui returned to the yard and started chatting with several neighbors. Yu Li had already gone to gossip with some familiar neighbors.

After waiting for half an hour, the three aunts came out and told everyone to go back and get basins to serve the vegetables.

When everyone heard this, they all went home to get their things.

There are only about ten households in the courtyard now, and He Yuzhu made a big pot full of food, which is enough for everyone to eat.

Everyone just lined up and got their food and went back.

The same went for Yu Li. When the two of them were walking back, Xu Damao ran over with a bottle of wine.

"Minghui, let's have two drinks today."

"Okay, come on."

After that, the three of them went back to Liu Minghui's house together.

Yu Li went to the kitchen and brought out a plate of steamed buns. She had steamed them in the pot after she came back from get off work, and they were just right to eat now.

After the three of them sat down, Xu Damao opened the wine he brought, filled Liu Minghui's glass, and then poured himself a glass.

"Come on, let's have a drink."

"Yeah, fuck."

I started drinking before I even ate the food.

"Eat some food first, not so much."

Yu Li, who was standing next to them, said when she saw the two of them like this.

"It's okay sister-in-law, I won't drink too much today."

As Xu Damao spoke, he took a few bites of the food.

"I said, is there something wrong with you?"

Liu Minghui asked Xu Damao while eating.

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Xu Damao didn't hesitate to tell his story directly.

It turned out that there were recent rumors in the factory that the head of the Propaganda Department might be moved to another position. If the deputy head took over, a position below would be vacated. Xu Damao was thinking about whether he could make further progress.

"I don't know about this either."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui shook his head and said that he had not heard of this matter recently.

"But it's not easy for you to get to the top."

Liu Minghui is not very optimistic about this.

"how could be?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he spoke anxiously.

"Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly."

Liu Minghui held Xu Damao down, otherwise the noise would be heard by everyone in the yard.

"Well, you have to explain it in detail."

Xu Damao saw Liu Minghui's expression and knew that this matter should not be known by too many people, so he calmed down and spoke in a low voice.

"If you want to be a cadre, first you have to have the ability, of course that's secondary, the most important thing is that your position has to be correct, and then if conditions permit, someone will give you a hand."
