"Okay, why are you being so petty? Come with me quickly. I've already told my wife that if you don't go, she should tell me!"
Niu Meng curled her lips when Li Weidong glared at her, but in the end she followed Li Weidong obediently and rode her bicycle towards the courtyard with him.
By the time Li Weidong returned to the courtyard with Niu Meng, Yu Li had already returned first.
Yu Li was very happy to see Niu Meng's arrival.
"Niu Meng is here! Come on in, I made some steamed buns. They are freshly baked. They are perfect to eat now."
Niu Meng obediently called Yu Lisheng's wife and followed her into the house.
Li Weidong, on the other hand, was sorting out the things he had just brought back in the yard.
At this time, He Yuzhu was wandering in the yard with his child in his arms. He originally wanted to chat with Li Weidong in the backyard, but when he saw that Li Weidong came back with a bunch of parts, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Weidong, what are you doing this time?"
Li Weidong raised his head when he heard this and saw He Yuzhu coming over. He smiled and said: "I'm going to make a water heater. My wife said that it's too troublesome to queue up outside to take a bath every day, so I plan to make a separate bathroom for dry and wet in the house, and then put Installing this water heater will make it much more convenient to take a bath in the future.”
After hearing this, He Yuzhu was immediately moved, but thinking of his withered wallet, he quickly gave up the tempting idea.
After all, he now has a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and his monthly expenses are not small.
Han Zhizhi is still on vacation, with only salary and no bonus, and his family's income has been reduced by more than half.
As Li Weidong said, it would cost a lot of money to build a bathroom with separate dry and wet areas and a complete water heater.
It's okay for Li Weidong to put the water heater on first, but it's not easy for anyone to pay for the renovation of the bathroom.
He Yuzhu used to think that his salary was quite high, but after having a child, he realized that the money was not enough.
But if he wanted to take a step forward, he would have to go to one of those state-owned hotels.
But those places are not accessible just by being good at cooking.
Thinking of this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh.
After Li Weidong heard this, he glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you being scolded by your wife again?"
He Yuzhu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I just think it's too difficult to make money. My current one-month salary can barely support our family of four."
Li Weidong smiled and said: "Where is this? You should be lucky that your child is eating breast milk and the diapers are reusable. Otherwise, the expenses will be at least two or three times more."
"Oh no?"
"Why did you lie to me?"
Li Weidong has experienced the era of later generations. The cost of raising children is terrifyingly high, especially those who give birth to boys.
From the money for milk powder and diapers to the betrothal gift of a house required for a wedding, ordinary families simply cannot afford it.
As a result, people who came later did not want children less and less, and it was so difficult to support themselves, let alone raise children.
Li Weidong's financial situation is good now, otherwise he wouldn't have children, he is too tired.
While the two were talking there, the deaf old lady who had been reclusive came out of her room.
Seeing He Yuzhu holding the child and talking to Li Weidong, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He walked quickly to He Yuzhu, who looked nothing like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
But when he saw the child in He Yuzhu's arms, his originally cheerful face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Why did you carry this money-losing guy out? If you want to hug him, it's your son!"
He Yuzhu originally wanted to say hello to the deaf old lady cheerfully, but after hearing this, he suddenly felt unhappy.
If anyone else dared to say that his daughter was a loser in front of him, He Yuzhu would have swung away with his fist.
But the old lady in front of him was a deaf woman, so he could only endure it.
"Old lady, whether she is a daughter or a son, they are all of my blood, there is no difference."
The deaf old lady frowned and reprimanded: "What do you know? A daughter will have to get married sooner or later. Unlike a son, you will have to rely on him to support you in your old age. As long as the daughter is hungry, it will be fine. The boy will be well fed and well fed." If you are white and fat, he will treat you better in the future."
Just as He Yuzhu was about to refute, Li Weidong's voice came from the side.
"Oh? Do you mean like Qin Huairu's stick stick?"
The expression on the deaf old lady's face froze. Who in the whole yard didn't know that Bangge was a demon king? It was normal to steal and cheat. She was full of lies and wouldn't bark when she saw people. She also liked to put on her nose and scold her benefactors. Most importantly, What's more, he also cut off his own cow and became the laughing stock of several nearby streets.
If you really want to raise your son like that, what hope do you have for the rest of your life?
The deaf old lady Quan pretended not to hear Li Weidong's words and continued to say to He Yuzhu: "You are still young now. You will know after a while when the child is older."
He Yuzhu said nothing, but kept Li Weidong's words in his heart.
His child cannot grow up to be like a stick, otherwise he would rather be thrown into a manure pit and drowned.
When the deaf old lady saw that He Yuzhu was silent, she thought he had heard what she said.
He said with a smile: "Quick, go take your son out and show me!"
He Yuzhu lowered his head, turned around and returned to the middle courtyard.
But after he left, the deaf old lady waited for a long time and no one came back.
Looking at He Yuzhu's house again, my dear, the door was closed, and he obviously didn't plan to come out.
Now the deaf old lady was not happy.
She paused for a moment with the crutch in her hand, then suddenly turned her head and cursed at Li Weidong: "It's all your fault, surnamed Li! What nonsense are you talking about in front of my dear grandson? Do you have any business here?"
Li Weidong never expected that the deaf old lady would get angry at him, and he was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.
"Aren't you an old fool? You don't do things right and you blame me? You are lucky to meet someone like Zhuzi. Otherwise, if you dare to scold my child, I will beat your mouth to pieces!"
"Come on, come on. If you have the ability, do it. I think you are a desperate person. You still want to have children. Go ahead and dream!"
The deaf old lady kept shouting without any fear at all.
She was convinced that Li Weidong did not dare to do anything to her.
Indeed, Li Weidong did not dare to beat the old woman, but there were many ways to deal with her.
What does this old woman care about most?
Naturally, someone was there to support her until she died. Now that Yi Zhonghai could not protect himself, the only person the deaf old lady could rely on was He Yuzhu.
So Li Weidong sneered and said: "I don't dare to do it, but I can arrange Zhuzhu to a new factory outside the city. There are employee dormitories there, and the environment is better than here. If you tell me I want to arrange it for him, Will he agree or not?"
The deaf old lady's expression suddenly changed. She knew He Yuzhu.
If there was such an opportunity, He Yuzhu would definitely move away without hesitation.
You have to think about your children as well as yourself.
As for her, an old woman, if He Yuzhu had a bad temper, he might really turn a blind eye to her.
His attitude can be seen from some of He Yuzhu's behavior when she scolded He Yuzhu's daughter just now.
But because of his past friendship, he didn't get mad at her.
If He Yuzhu really ran away, then she would have nowhere to cry.
The deaf old lady stared at Li Weidong with a sullen face, wanting to use the crutch in her hand to hit Li Weidong.
She was also afraid that he would turn around and take He Yuzhu away.
In this courtyard now, He Yuzhu basically only listened to what Han Zhizhi and Li Weidong said.
And Han Zhizhi was also very convinced of Li Weidong.
It can be said that he took the deaf old lady very seriously.
Seeing that the deaf old lady was silent, Li Weidong had no intention of letting her go. He said: "I advise you to stop hanging around in front of me in the future. I have a bad temper and can't stand being scolded. Let's forget it this time." Next time, you can contact Yi Zhonghai and discuss with him how to provide for your retirement!"
"you……"
"Get out!"
The deaf old lady is so angry!
But she couldn't do anything to Li Weidong, so in the end she could only return to her house bitterly.
I don't know how many times I have scolded Li Weidong.
Probably hearing the noise outside, Yu Li and Niu Meng poked their heads out of the house.
"Weidong, what happened?"
"It's okay, someone just came over and had a few chats."
Of course Li Weidong would not tell Yu Li and Niu Meng that he threatened the deaf old lady. That would ruin his image!
When Yu Li heard this, she didn't ask any more questions.
He held a steamed bun and handed it to Li Weidong's mouth, and he actually started feeding it on the spot.
Niu Meng looked on with sour eyes, wishing that he was the one feeding Li Weidong.
It's a pity that one step is too late and every step is too late.
Now people outside say that Yu Li was just lucky enough to marry Li Weidong by accident.
If she married into the Yan family, she wouldn't have such a good life now.
After struggling for a long time, Li Weidong finally got the water heater fixed.
At present, it is just a simple version, containing just enough water for the couple to take a bath.
Since the problem with the liner coating has not yet been resolved, this thing may only last about a year.
But Li Weidong should also have researched the formula of the liner coating by then, and will just make another one at that time.
The next step is to create a bathroom with separate wet and dry areas.
Li Weidong has already informed Fatty Too, and he estimates that the decorator will come to the door tomorrow.
However, tempered glass is difficult to get, so you can only build a wall first and then install it later when the house is renovated.
——
"It feels good to not have to queue up to take a shower! However, the water is a bit small and the shower is not refreshing."
Hearing Yu Li's words, Li Weidong smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have customized a large water tank. When I install a booster pump, these will naturally not be a problem. You can flush it how you want. !”
Yu Li's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Can we fill the whole bathtub again? Then I can take a bath at home."
As the saying goes, one word wakes up the dreamer. If Yu Li hadn't mentioned it, Li Weidong would never have thought about it.
It would be nice to get a bathtub. With a bathtub, he can teach Yu Li some new knowledge!
So Li Weidong nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, I will find someone to make a big bathtub later, big enough for the two of us to soak together."
When Yu Li heard this, a blush appeared on her face.
They are already an old couple, so she still doesn't know what Li Weidong is thinking.
But instead of resisting, she felt some expectation.
After giving Li Weidong a charming look, he turned and entered the room.
Li Weidong understood at a glance that he had to pay food again tonight.
——
"Third uncle, as long as you help me handle this matter, I will definitely help solve your problem!"
After listening to Qin Huairu's words, Yan Bugui's face showed no joy, but instead became very sad.
He thought for a while and then said: "Xiao Qin, I'm afraid this is not going to be easy for you. You don't know the character of your mother-in-law. If I dare to mention it in front of her today, she will have to scold me at the door of my house." You can’t stay here for several days and nights!”
Qin Huairu shook her head and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have a way to deal with her. All you need to do is to negotiate with Fool Wang! And don't you want to resolve the matter quickly? I heard that Yes, those people came to you again today to collect debts. Can you escape this time, and can you continue to hide?"
Yan Bugui's face suddenly became sad.
Indeed, those seeking compensation gave him a headache that nearly exploded.
Yan Bugui sighed and said: "Okay, I will go to Fool Wang tomorrow to inquire, but your mother-in-law depends on you. If you can't deal with her, even if I have negotiated with Fool Wang The cigarette case is useless.”
"Look at me!"
Qin Huairu was not worried at all. Li Weidong had already thought of a countermeasure for her.
When Mrs. Jia Zhang can no longer stand her current life, even if Qin Huairu doesn't chase her away, she will run away on her own if there is a better place to go.
After coming out of Yanbu Gui's house, Qin Huairu went straight back to the middle courtyard. Before entering, she saw Jia Zhang squatting outside the house.
When Jia Zhang saw her coming back, she immediately stood up and asked, "Why did you come back? I'm almost starving to death!"
Qin Huairu glanced at Mrs. Jia Zhang coldly and said: "Then starve to death. If I ask you to paste matchboxes, you will be lazy all day long. With my little salary, who can feed me? From today on, our family will Change from two meals a day to one meal a day!”
Jia Zhang immediately screamed: "Qin, I have known for a long time that you have evil intentions. Okay, today I have finally exposed your true face. Okay, I won't give you anything to eat, right? Then I will Go make trouble in the factory and let me see what you do."
"Then go ahead and make a fuss. It's better to go to the factory and give me a salary increase!"
Jia Zhang didn't expect that one of her tried-and-tested moves would fail.
Looking at Qin Huairu's calm look, it seemed that she was really not afraid of her going to the steel rolling mill to cause trouble.
Is this woman really out of money?
Jia Zhang didn't believe it.
When Qin Huairu saw that she remained silent, she began to pursue her victory.
"What, you don't dare? You go ahead and make trouble! It's no longer your turn to make the decision in this family. I say a meal is just a meal. If you can't stand it, just go to other families. If any family is willing to take you in, I I will definitely take you out in a big sedan chair!"
"Qin Huairu, you..."
"What are you doing! Now eat me, use me, show me some respect!"
Facing the fierce Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang was really a little scared.
After all, Qin Huairu is more than twenty years younger than her. If he really wants to take action, she may not be Qin Huairu's opponent.
