Sure enough, as soon as Li Ming arrived at the entrance of Maoer Hutong, he could hear the sound of laughter and quarrels coming from a certain house in the alley. It seemed that his colleagues in the three quarters where he was were all listening to the excitement.
After walking along the alley for a while, I saw the door of a courtyard on the left wide open, and I could hear Xu Qiang's cursing voice inside.
"Wu Gang, put down my wine! Aren't you afraid of dropping the wine?"
"Don't worry, Brother Xu, my hand is very steady. Besides, my sister-in-law is not willing to let you drink more, so you might as well give me an advantage." Wu Gang's shameless voice came from inside.
When Li Ming saw this, he was sure that this household was the chief's house, "Brother Xu, I'm here!"
People who were making noise in the courtyard also slipped to the door when they heard the sound.
"You kid, come here. What else do you bring?" Xu Qiang patted Li Ming on the shoulder with dissatisfaction.
"Well, I heard Brother Jun said yesterday that he wanted to get some food, so he couldn't come in empty-handed."
Xu Qiang pointed at Wang Jun's nose and cursed, "Fart, you idiot here didn't bring anything!"
Li Ming had a few black lines drooping down his head. It seemed that he had overestimated the shamelessness of the members of the three groups.
"Haha, you are really here!" Wang Jun joked from the side.
"Hurry up and let Xiao Ming come in. You gentlemen, please don't block the door." A pretty woman came over and said to several people.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Li Ming opened his mouth and shouted after seeing this woman.
"Sister-in-law is so beautiful, hehe." He even touched his head to show his sincerity.
Zheng Ping interjected: "Let me just say that Old Xu has made a lot of money by marrying his wife."
It made the other three laugh, and then they walked into the courtyard together.
"Hello, brother." A little girl with red lips and white teeth came out of the courtyard and greeted Li Ming.
Li Ming's eyes lit up. This little girl was so beautiful. She didn't look like Xu Qiang at all, but she looked very much like his wife.
"Hello what is your name?"
"My name is Xu Xiaoyu, brother, where are you?"
"My name is Li Ming, Xiaoyu."
Everyone was watching Li Ming and Xu Xiaoyu playing around, except Chief Xu, whose face was a little dark.
"Okay, okay, it's time to eat, stop playing!"
"Tsk, Old Xu, you are too petty. Xiaoyu is only 10 years old and Mingzi is 18. I won't steal your girl." Zheng Ping hit the nail on the head.
"Go away, do you still want to eat?" Xu Qiang shouted at Zheng Ping, never underestimate the vigilance of Xiao Baicai's guardian.
As everyone sat down to eat, Xu Qiang's words would pop up from time to time at the dinner table, and it was extremely lively for a while.
"By the way, Akiko, I forgot to tell you in detail about our stock last time."
"Our stock was quite busy before, but now these unplanned supplies are indeed much less, and it is not easy to collect."
"But it's more or less fun. If you're like the four of them, you can get by with about 180 eggs a month."
"After all, we are still counting on the planned supplies during this period. After you join the job in two days, you can also check the situation first."
"Also, we do have bicycles in our unit, but they are not easy to ride. If you don't have a bicycle, you can use it first."
"When you have nothing to do, go for a walk in the countryside and collect whatever you want. Everyone knows the situation of our stocks anyway."
Xu Qiang was smoking a cigarette while telling Li Ming what was going on here.
Li Ming couldn't help but nodded. After all, if someone could say more in advance, it would be easier for him to get started, not to mention that the three of them didn't have so many tricks.
"I understand, Brother Xu. But my mother also has some skills in the street office, so it will be easy to get something when the time comes. My father also has comrades on the farm around our 49th city, so I guess it can be useful every month. "
"Hey, you are good at it, and you still have the confidence!" Zhou Tian looked surprised.
"It's not bad to have two working people. Your dad works in our steel rolling mill, right?" Wu Gang looked envious. It's really good for both parents to work these days.
Li Ming nodded, "Well, my father, Li Weiguo, is a level five welder in our steel rolling mill."
Xu Qiang also had a deeper understanding of Li Ming. Not only did he graduate from a technical secondary school, but he also had the status of a cadre from the beginning. At home, my mother works as a cadre in the street office, and my father is a fifth-level welder in the steel rolling mill. The conditions are quite good.
"Okay, if you let it out and talk about getting married, I guess the matchmaker will be able to get through your door. Haha."
Li Ming also picked up a cigarette from the table and lit it, looking quite sad, "Don't mention it, my mother asked me about it yesterday."
"Aunt Wang from the street office is clamoring to find me a girl, and she plans to let me get married first."
Others were stunned when they heard this. There was only one person named Wang in this neighborhood, the director of the street office. It sounds like he was quite close to their family.
Li Ming also deliberately exposed the news. Although everyone seems to be harmonious and easy to talk to now, his basic foundation must be brightened. Again, in the real society, no normal person will pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. If you do the same thing, it will simply offend people.
It's better for everyone to show off their horses and horses, and everyone knows the general details of the other party. When the time comes, the other party will have to weigh and weigh what happens, which can save yourself a lot of effort.
The group of people had a great time eating and drinking. Li Ming drank half a catty and was fine. After the party was over, he strolled back to the courtyard, treating it as a walk after dinner.
By the time Li Ming returned to the courtyard, almost every household had lights or candles on. Well, the third uncle’s family doesn’t have it.
"Brother, I heard that you tore down the door to the west hall today?" Li Rui asked with surprise on his face.
"What's wrong? I'm still gaining strength now. It's so normal. What a big fuss!" Li Ming made a fool of himself.
Father Li also had an incredulous expression on his side. Although he was a level five welder, he still thought he couldn't dismantle a door with his bare hands.
"Okay, stop pestering your brother." Mother Li came up, pushed her daughter away, and pulled her son to sit on the bench.
"How was your colleagues' party today?"
"It's not bad. My colleagues are very nice, and I haven't been bullied. Don't worry." Li Ming still feels that only his mother is good in the world. After all, his own mother knows how to let him sit down and talk.
Li Rui pouted on the side, "With my brother's strength, I guess no one would dare to bully him."
"I came back to the courtyard today and heard many aunties discussing my brother."
Li Ming chuckled, "Isn't that good? If anyone dares to bully you in the future, your brother I will lift him up and throw him on the roof."
Li Rui, who thought her brother was bragging, rolled her eyes and ran back into the house wondering what she was doing.
The Li family is peaceful and quite warm. Everyone else in the courtyard, especially those with animal blood, will probably have trouble sleeping tonight.
