Liang Ladi brought a basin of hot water as usual, wiped it with water, and then lay down on the bed again.
It was cold now, and in just a few minutes, she sneezed twice in a row.
Li Weidong opened the quilt, quickly let her get into the bed, and said with a smile: "You are not afraid of catching a cold anymore."
"I can't help it. I just love to be clean. When I was young, my mother said that I was reincarnated into the wrong family."
Liang Ladi rolled her eyes and dug in hard.
Li Weidong was so cold that he couldn't help but take a breath: "You're welcome."
A trace of blush appeared on Liang Ladi's face, she rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "In our current relationship, can I be polite to you?"
"Relationship, what relationship?" Li Weidong sometimes really couldn't understand the complicated relationship between the two.
According to the previous agreement, Liang Ladi worked for him, and he should pay Liang Ladi Bangzi Noodles on a monthly basis.
But.
Since the two agreed, Li Weidong only paid Liang Ladi a month of stick noodles, but now Liang Ladi owes him a lot.
Liang Ladi became shy, raised her fist and punched him twice: "You men are just bad. You will not admit it after eating and wiping it clean."
Li Weidong chuckled, held her little hand, and asked with a smile: "Your hometown seems to be Liangjiagou?"
Liang Ladi didn't expect that Li Weidong would suddenly mention this. After being stunned for a moment, she nodded hesitantly: "It's the Liangjiagou in Hongxing Commune, but why do you mention this?"
"Do you have one in Liangjiagou named Liang Damin?" Li Weidong sat up.
Liang Ladi was surprised and said: "That's my cousin, why do you ask this?"
Boy, what a coincidence!
Li Weidong stretched out his hand and pinched Liang Ladi's nose gently, and said with a smile: "Why do you have so many problems like a child?"
"To tell you the truth, I came to Liang Damin to ask about an old incident from more than ten years ago. What is it specifically? I have to wait until I see Liang Damin before I can tell you."
"Is that so?" Liang Ladi's eyes rolled around and she pursed her lips and said, "You want me to take you to find Liang Damin."
"Of course."
“Five pounds of stick noodles!”
"make a deal!"
Now Liang Ladi still owes Li Weidong dozens of kilograms of stick noodles, and only five kilograms is not worth mentioning.
After the two finalized a deal, Liang Ladi paid off another debt. Seeing that it was getting late, she got up from the bed.
"It's all your fault. The children will be back later."
"Who was the one who insisted on paying off the debt just now, and now he is blaming me? Women are so changeable."
Li Weidong got dressed, made an appointment with Liang Ladi to meet at the door of the machinery factory tomorrow, then shook his head and left the house with his hands behind his back.
It was dusk at this time, and the fire clouds on the horizon were beautifully burning.
Li Weidong rode his bicycle to the vegetable market and bought three kilograms of eggs and some fruits. He hung them on the handlebars of his bicycle and returned to the courtyard.
Entering the yard and walking to the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was squatting by the pool in the middle yard washing clothes, with her sleeves rolled up high, revealing her snow-white arms.
Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head and saw Li Weidong walking in. Her eyes flashed with uncontrollable joy, she wiped her hands and hurried forward to greet him.
"Brother Weidong, you are back, how is the investigation going?" Qin Huairu flipped up her hair.
I don't know whether it was because she was tired or a little shy, but her little face was flushed.
Against the background of the faint sunset, it actually shows a somewhat unique flavor of a girl.
Li Weidong smiled lightly and said, "I already have a clue."
"Really?" Qin Huairu's eyes moved, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "When the real culprit is caught, I will thank you very much."
After saying that, she did not forget to give her a wink. Under Li Aiguo's gaze, she twisted her butt and returned to the pool, bent over and continued to rub her clothes.
This seductive behavior means that Li Weidong is an experienced truck driver. If he were an ordinary person, he would be uncontrollable.
After returning home, Li Weidong found that Yu Haitang was also there.
"Brother-in-law, you're back." Yu Haitang took the canvas bag with a smile and hurriedly poured water for Li Weidong.
Yu Li, who was a little heavy, sat on the chair and joked: "Girl Haitang, I feel more affectionate when I see you now than when I see you."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Thanks to my brother-in-law, I can realize my mistake and reconcile with my mother."
Yu Haitang stamped her foot, her little girl's posture was really cute.
Yu Li glanced at Yu Haitang suspiciously: "Didn't you let me mention the quarrel between you and mother? Why did you mention it yourself instead?"
Yu Haitang's little face suddenly turned pale, and he turned around quickly, thinking to himself, Yu Haitang, Yu Haitang, how can you be so careless?
Now, Yu Li felt even more strange.
This girl Yu Haitang is usually like an aggressive little rooster. If you scold her once, she will retaliate ten times.
How could you be so honest today?
Li Weidong put down the enamel jar and interrupted the strange atmosphere between the two with a smile.
"Haitang, I heard that our factory is going to hold a speech contest. How are you preparing your speech?"
Yu Haitang's eyes lit up, and he curled his lips and said, "Of course I haven't finished writing it yet. I just wanted to use this great talent like you, so I came to your house."
"Otherwise, who would come here?"
When Yu Li heard this, the suspicion in her heart disappeared without a trace, and she said with a smile: "I said you insisted on coming back with me today, so it turned out that you wanted to make your brother-in-law a coolie."
Yu Haitang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a pout: "The winner of this speech contest will represent our steel rolling mill in the speech contest organized by the ministry. Many comrades in our Publicity Department have signed up to participate, and some have even invited newspapers to participate.
The editor helps them write the manuscript.”
"My brother-in-law is a well-known talent in our steel rolling mill. I have this advantage, so I naturally have to take advantage of it."
Yu Haitang acted so matter-of-factly, which made Yu Li feel guilty.
She knew that Li Weidong was very busy at work, and he had been wasted a lot of time recently because of the Yu family's affairs.
But Yu Haitang is her biological sister, so she can't just sit idly by.
Yu Li looked at Li Weidong apologetically and said, "Brother Wei Dong, look at this matter about Yu Haitang."
Li Weidong nodded: "Yu Haitang is like my sister. Naturally, I have to help her with her affairs."
"Brother Wei Dong, you are so kind." Yu Li blushed.
Yu Haitang was yelling at the side: "Even if you want to be intimate, you have to take care of me, an outsider."
Yu Li blushed, and Li Weidong waved his hand at her: "Yu Haitang, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want me to help you write your speech, you can, but you have to cook the meal tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Li became a little anxious and hurriedly took Li Weidong's arm and said: "My little sister has never cooked since she was a child. If you ask her to cook now, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her? What do you want to do in the evening? I'll do it.
.”
As she spoke, Yu Li rolled up her sleeves and was about to wash her hands.
Li Weidong chuckled and said: "You, you, you dote on her too much. How can a girl not know how to cook? If you don't learn now, you will definitely be scolded by your parents-in-law when you get married. You are harming her.
.”
Yu Li didn't expect that Li Weidong would say something big just because of a small matter like cooking.
She wanted to refute, but found that she had no reason to refute.
In fact, Yu Li also felt that Yu Haitang was spoiled by her and her mother, which is why she has not gotten married.
However, Yu Haitang is her sister after all.
At this time, Yu Haitang took the initiative to stand up and said: "Sister, don't beg him, I know how to cook, and I will cook now!"
As she spoke, she smiled at Li Weidong and said, "Brother-in-law, as long as you dare to eat the food I cook."
Li Weidong felt a little cold on his back. Yu Haitang was preparing to prepare a table of dark dishes.
However, even if it is dark cuisine, Li Weidong can still eat it.
Seeing that the threat failed to work, Yu Haitang could only walk into the kitchen depressedly and get busy.
Of course, she couldn't do it intentionally, and with Yu Li's guidance, she quickly cooked a table of dishes.
Scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and vegetable egg drop soup.
It's all about eggs, nothing else, just because eggs are delicious as long as they are fried.
Not to mention, although the egg dishes made by Yu Haitang are not as good as those made by Yu Li, they can still be eaten.
Looking at Li Weidong enjoying his meal, Yu Haitang smiled proudly: "Brother-in-law, how do I feel about being a cook?"
"Compared with the cook in our compound." Li Weidong gave a thumbs up.
"Really?" Yu Haitang's face lit up with joy.
A smile appeared on Li Weidong's lips: "Of course it's true."
"Since your cooking skills are so superb, from today on, whenever you come to our house as a guest, you will be responsible for cooking."
Yu Haitang: "."
She felt that she had been deceived by Li Weidong.
Of course.
Li Weidong did not break his promise. After dinner, he began to help Yu Haitang write a speech.
It’s not that his literary talent is higher than that of Yu Haitang, but because he comes from a later generation and knows many sonorous and powerful words.
For example: Love what you do, drill what you do, master what you do, manage what you do, and work hard to achieve first-class results.
We must strengthen our determination, strengthen our patience, strengthen our confidence, determination, and patience, and grasp the general trend, situation, and trend.
When these words are added to the speech, the level of the entire manuscript is immediately sublimated.
It only took ten minutes for Li Weidong to finish writing the manuscript.
"How about you take a look?"
Yu Haitang recited it silently in his heart, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Brother-in-law, you are really amazing!"
"With such a good manuscript, I will definitely win first place this time."
Like a child, she ran to Yu Li, took the manuscript and showed off: "Sister, take a look, the manuscript written by my brother-in-law is so good, I even think it can be published in the newspaper."
"You, just praise your brother-in-law. He used to be a truck driver, specializing in driving big trucks. How can he be so stupid!"
When Yu Li heard Li Weidong being praised, although she said disapproving words, she felt happy in her heart.
Early the next morning, before seven o'clock, Li Weidong climbed out of bed.
Yu Li, who was busy cooking, heard the noise, walked into the house and said with a smile: "Brother Wei Dong, today is the weekend, why don't you take a rest?"
Li Weidong said while putting on his clothes: "Do you still remember what happened to Lao Jia in his accident?"
"Is this the one that the grand master of our compound asked you to investigate? Do you have any clues?" Yu Li suddenly became energetic, with the word "eating melon" written all over her face.
"There are some clues, but I'm not sure yet. I have to go to the countryside today to investigate clearly."
"That's great. I heard from people in the compound that Lao Jia and Jia Zhang have completely different personalities. They often help the residents."
Yu Li said angrily: "If he was really killed by a bad guy, you must find this bad guy."
Ever since Qin Huairu came to ask Li Weidong to investigate Lao Jia's affairs, Yu Li also became curious about the head of the Jia family who had lived in the courtyard more than ten years ago.
As a street office worker, she successfully found the old residents and found out some things.
Lao Jia is an old resident of Beijing. He is a single descendant of three generations. He was considered a handsome boy in the courtyard back then. In addition, his family was in good condition and he was a regular worker. He was very popular among the girls.
Lao Jia was eighteen years old at that time and was already engaged to a girl from the compound next door. The girl was pretty and a worker in a textile factory. This marriage was favored by everyone.
While the residents were waiting to drink Lao Jia's wedding wine, Lao Jia took the initiative to break off the engagement with the girl, and instead returned to the courtyard with an ordinary-looking country girl with a bad temper.
That country girl is Jia Zhang.
At that time, everyone felt strange. After some inquiries, they found out the reason.
Lao Jia has a distant uncle who lives in Jiajiazhuang on the outskirts of the city.
That year, the son of his distant uncle got married. Lao Jia brought congratulatory gifts and went to the wedding banquet. As a result, he was attracted by Jia Zhang at the wedding banquet.
This young man is handsome and has a formal job. If you marry him, you will be in high demand and drink hot food.
Mrs. Jia Zhang knew that for a girl with her appearance and family background, people in the city would definitely not like her.
So, a trap was set.
She found some young men she liked and got Lao Jia drunk at the wedding banquet.
Then he took Lao Jia to the corn field and caused trouble.
After Lao Jia sobered up, he originally wanted to run away when faced with the disheveled Jia Zhang who was holding his head and crying.
But Mrs. Jia and Zhang had already made arrangements, and her best friends had already been hiding nearby, swarming up and arresting Lao Jia.
Lao Jia had two choices at that time. One was to be sent to the official position for harming the eldest girl, and the other was to marry Jia Zhang.
Lao Jia had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to marry Jia Zhang.
Mrs. Jia and Zhang pretended to be virtuous before getting married, but once they got married, their true colors were revealed.
Lao Jia takes care of everything in the Jia family because he is lazy and eats all day long, and he often takes the initiative to help his neighbors.
Over the years, the residents in the courtyard have helped the Jia family many times because they have no intention of repaying their kindness.
When she heard that Li Weidong was going to investigate the case, Yu Li seemed very active and quickly helped him prepare a meal.
After breakfast, Li Weidong rode his bicycle to the door of the machinery factory.
Liang Ladi had been waiting there for a long time.
In this era, Liang Ladi didn't have a bicycle, and she didn't know where she borrowed one from.
She was riding her bicycle and said with a smile: "Director Li, shall we set off now?"
Li Weidong shook his head: "Before setting off, I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
