Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

"Haha, what's the matter? If it's okay, you get married, but if it's not okay, I get married."

"No, come, have a drink."

Sha Zhu said, "No, I have to toast Liu Lan first. Without her introduction, there would be no today for me and my wife. Come on, Liu Lan, cheers."

Liu Lan smiled and said, "Haha, I just introduced you. Whether it will work out depends on you. It has nothing to do with me."

"You are wrong. Without your introduction, how could I have met such a beautiful girl?"

He Yushui watched several people drinking, then she took out a bottle of soda from her pocket, opened it and poured herself a glass. She saw Tang Xiaomei staring at the soda, so she poured her a glass as well.

Tang Xiaomei asked in surprise: "Where did it come from?"

"Drink it. I'll tell you where to get it after dinner."

"Hey, thank you Sister Yushui."

"What are you thanking me for? We're all family from now on. By the way, do you plan to live in the courtyard or go back home?"

"My brother-in-law asked me to live in the same room with you. I still want to live at home, but my sister said it's not safe for me to be alone at home. I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Haha, are you afraid that I won't welcome you?"

"As long as you don't play tricks on me, we are a family and we can work together if we have the energy."

Tang Xiaomei nodded and said, "Well, Sister Yushui, I'll listen to you."

After the meal, Sha Zhu got some high-quality liquor from somewhere and they all started drinking it. Ding Fengqin and the women in the yard cleaned up the table. After they finished cleaning up, Li Feng went home with his wife.

Before leaving, Sha Zhu said, "Come earlier so we can finish eating earlier."

Li Feng and Ding Fengqin wanted to laugh when they saw how anxious he was. But they didn't laugh at him, because they all got through this!

After returning home, they lay down on the bed. They felt a little tired and did nothing. Li Feng said, "It's really strange. I felt very tired after attending the wedding. I don't know why. I didn't do anything all day. Most of the time I just sat there chatting. I felt very tired after it was over."

Ding Fengqin thought for a moment and said, "Me too, why is that?"

"By the way, wife, what did you say to Yu Shui that scared the little girl away?"

"Why are you asking about our women's affairs?"

Li Feng hugged Ding Fengqin and said, "Then I want to know what to do?"

After a while, Ding Fengqin couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Isn't it okay for me to tell you? Since you like your brother Gousheng so much, then you can be his mistress. I have no objection."

"I told you that you are very strong in some aspect and I can't handle it alone, so I just wanted to find someone to share the burden with. That's all. Before I could finish, she ran away!"

Li Feng's eyelids twitched and he said, "Wife, you are good at retreating to advance! Aren't you afraid that she will agree and snatch your man from you?"

Ding Fengqin looked at Li Feng and said, "Who said I was retreating to advance?"

Seeing that Ding Fengqin's eyes did not seem fake, he asked curiously, "Why do you have such an idea?"

"Oh, where do you get all these questions from? I can't do it anymore. I need to rest for a while."

At the Liu family's house in the outer courtyard, Liu Qingshan asked his wife, "Chun Ya, do you think we should hold a full-moon banquet?"

Shen Chunya just coaxed the child to sleep and said, "If you ask me, we can't do it. Our family really can't afford it! Look at the food and ingredients we have today. What can you get?"

"Who will say hello to you after this? What will happen to our two children when the food is gone? I don't have much milk now, and the children are always hungry. You know that!"

"Hey! You're right. How can face be more important than life? Let me see if the third uncle is fishing and see if he has any crucian carp. I'll go buy two and give you some milk."

"Forget it. You might as well go find Li Gousheng instead of him. I heard he's great at fishing, but I don't know if it's true or not!"

"Okay, I'll go and ask."

"Wait a minute, he and his wife just went back, and they are probably resting now. They will go to Zhuzi's house for dinner later. Wait for him to come out and then ask him."

"Well, you are really thoughtful! I'll lie down for a while too!"

At the old lady's house in the backyard, Yi Zhonghai said, "Old lady, have you eaten well today?"

"Hey! Even if I eat well, it's not good!"

"It's a matter! Today, Sha Zhu should toast you a glass of wine! The old Zhu can't come back!"

"That's all your fault! I've already said that if I'm sincere, I'll definitely be willing to take care of you in your old age. Now look what's going on!"

"I don't have many years left to live! I just want to find someone to take care of you in your old age!"

"I'm old! I'm useless!"

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, all he could think about was what the deaf old lady had said. When did all this start to happen?

That’s right, it all started with that kid Li Gousheng! Our conflict has been over for so long, if anything happens to him now, no one will suspect me, right?

He searched through all his belongings and found just over 500 yuan. He thought about his foreign debts and put the money back.

He looked at his wife, came back and fell asleep on the bed!

Yi Zhonghai slowly walked out of the house, closed the door, and went to the vegetable cellar. He dug out a brick from the corner under the stairs and took out a box from it.

After opening it, he put the pistol aside, took out two small yellow croakers, put the box back to its original place, and left the courtyard.

In Dongcheng District, there was a knock on the door in an alley, and a voice came from the yard: "Who is it?"

"Hello, I heard you have slaughtered chickens for sale. I want to buy one and take it back to feed my wife."

"Go ahead. Since we are not allowing individuals to buy and sell chickens anymore, we won't kill chickens to sell!"

"Please be kind and help me! I have a small yellow fish that I just caught. Can I trade it for a chicken? This is an exchange, not speculation."

The people in the courtyard thought for a while and said, "Now that the food supply has decreased, one fish is too little to exchange for a chicken. It's not cost-effective. If you want to exchange it intentionally, just add some more!"

The man outside the door thought for a while and said, "I caught two small fish today. I'll give them both to you. Do you think it's okay? If not, I have no other solution!"

"Hey! OK, from the sound of your voice you are an old customer. Come back if you want to change chickens next time."

"Of course, of course. I'll leave the fish in the old place for you."

"Okay, I'll send it to you after I kill the chicken."

After the person outside the door put his things away, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he left.

After a while, the person inside the door brought the things into the house, put the two small yellow croakers aside, opened the note and took a look.

"A steel mill driver? Maybe he knows some Kung Fu skills? It's an era now. Even if he has great Kung Fu skills, he can still be shot down with one shot! And he carries an electrician's knife with him? Interesting!"
