The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

At Yu's house, Liu Minghui brought Yu Li and his son here.

Yu's mother saw them the first time, and hurriedly put down what she was holding, and came over to say, "I was just asking your dad if you guys were going to come over later."

Hearing this, Yu Li handed over the things she had brought with a smile and said, "How can this be possible? I have to come over to help prepare dinner."

"People are here, so why bring so many things?"

Yu's mother complained in a bad mood, which made the neighbors nearby envious.

It's impossible not to be envious. The Yu family didn't have a good reputation in the courtyard before, because there were no male heirs in the family and they couldn't speak with confidence.

In the eyes of these neighbors, unless the Yu family can find a live-in son-in-law, their future life will be difficult.

But what caught them off guard was that the eldest daughter of the Yu family actually found such a high-quality son-in-law. Looking at Liu Minghui's situation, he treated Yu's father and mother as his own parents.

Not only do he give gifts during festivals, but he also gives me all kinds of things every now and then.

If they hadn't known that Liu Minghui was a cadre, they would have planned to report him.

Aunt Zhang, who lived next door to the Yu family, saw this and said to Yu's mother with a smile: "Yu family, I wonder if your son-in-law has any brothers. My daughter is also old enough to get married."

Seeing that Liu Minghui was a capable man and happened to have a daughter at home, Aunt Zhang thought about seeing if Liu Minghui had a younger brother or something. Even if she couldn't be as capable as Liu Minghui, it would be nice to have some help from him.

Mother Yu was not a fool. She knew what the other party was planning when she heard the question. She waved her hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to think about it. My son-in-law is the youngest in his family. His two older brothers are married and have children."

Liu Minghui stood aside without saying anything, letting his mother talk.

Hearing this, Aunt Zhang sighed and said, "Oh, it seems my family is not so lucky."

The two families were neighbors, and Yu's mother and Aunt Zhang had a good relationship. When they heard the other party say this, they comforted her: "Why are you sighing? I think your daughter is also blessed. Maybe she can find a good family in the future."

Aunt Zhang shook her head when she heard this. She had been having a headache recently because of her daughter's blind date. There was Yu Li in the courtyard, and most of the unmarried little girls wanted to be like Yu Li and find someone as capable as Liu Minghui.

I've been on several blind dates recently, and I've always been dissatisfied with the guys.

If the daughter wasn't her biological daughter, Aunt Zhang would have planned to slap her to wake her up.

You don't know your own conditions, but you still want to be like Yu Li, and think so beautifully.

"Mom, let's go inside."

Seeing a lot of people coming over, Liu Minghui hurriedly said to Yu's mother that he was not familiar with these people, but it would not be good to ignore them, as it would make it difficult for the Yu family to do business in this courtyard, so he simply avoided them.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, uncle."

Compared with these neighbors, Liu Minghui is of course more important. Yu's mother nodded and agreed without thinking, and took the three of them into the house.

In the Yu family's house, Yu's father was scolding Yu Haitang.

"Your sister and your brother-in-law are here, why don't you hurry up and pour them a glass of water."

Yu Haitang started high school this year. Although she is one year younger than He Yushui, they are in the same class.

"Sister, brother-in-law, drink some water."

Yu Haitang brought over two glasses of water.

"Thank you Haitang, Bowen, why don't you call someone."

"Auntie."

Liu Bowen shouted crisply. It's not like he had never seen Yu Haitang before. After all, he spent most of the year at Yu's house.

"Ah, Bowen is so good, auntie will give you some candy."

Yu Haitang took out a few pieces of White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket and stuffed them into Liu Bowen's hand.

"Haitang, don't give it to him. He's eaten several today. He's eaten too much. What if his teeth get damaged?"

Yu Li was sitting not far away and said when she saw this.

"Hey sister, it's Chinese New Year this year, so just eat less during normal times."

"You, you are so old, but you are still like a child all day long, with candies in your pocket."

Yu's mother has been very angry with Haitang recently. She always criticizes her about everything. Even for such a small matter, Yu's mother has to say a few words.

When Yu Haitang heard this, she was unhappy. She walked to Yu Li's side, took her hand and shook it, saying, "Sister, look at our mother. She only knows how to scold me."

Looking at the grown-up Yu Haitang in front of her, Yu Li touched her head lovingly and said with a smile: "Our mother is doing this for your own good, just listen to me."

"Huh, that's what I would say."

Yu Haitang was unhappy, so he found a seat to sit down and ignored Yu Li.

Watching the conversation between the three people, Liu Minghui shook his head in his heart. No wonder Yu Haitang developed the temper of a spoiled daughter in the original work. It seemed that she was spoiled.

Liu Minghui heard Yu Li mention that when Yu Haitang was born, Yu Li was already in her teens. At that time, Yu's father was the only one who worked in the family, and it was difficult to support a family of four, so the young Yu's mother would go out to find some odd jobs.

So the task of raising the child when he was young was handed over to Yu Li. It can be said that Yu Haitang treated Yu Li even better than his mother.

Therefore, Yu Li is very concerned about her sister who makes her worry.

"Okay, we have to be happy during the New Year. I'll take you shopping and watching a movie tomorrow."

Seeing that her sister was unhappy, Yu Li took out her trump card, which was watching a movie. Not to mention the children, even the adults could not remain indifferent to this activity.

Of course, Liu Minghui is an exception. Liu Minghui really can't stand the movies of this era. Not only are the pictures in black and white, but there is also no sound.

The projectionist is needed to explain what the movie is telling, otherwise he would not be listed as one of the eight members.

In this era, there are still movie theaters in the city, and if you want to watch a movie, you can buy a ticket. But if you are in a remote area and invite a projectionist to show movies to everyone, it will cause a sensation. People from miles around will know about it and have to travel to see it.

The village cadres had to establish good relations with the projectionist just to get him to show them an extra show, or a film they hadn't seen before.

Otherwise, Xu Damao would not have been so attached to the job of projectionist and refused to give it up, because there are so many benefits in it.

Xu Damao's salary doesn't seem to be much every month, not even as much as a second-level worker in the workshop, but his hidden income is not low. If it happens to be the end of the year, or around the autumn harvest in the countryside, Xu Damao will be snatched up.

When Yu Haitang heard Yu Li say that she wanted to take her to see a movie, she immediately became interested and skipped over to Yu Li.

"Sister, this is what you said, you can't lie."

"Many of my classmates have been to the cinema to watch movies, but I haven't been yet. Now I can brag to them about it."

Yu Haitang said proudly.

"You, you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li smiled and tapped Yu Haitang's forehead, as if she was amused by her words.
