Silly Zhu's incident did not affect Li Weidong's good mood.
you are not a fish, how to know the joy of fish.
Silly Zhu is willing to be a licking dog, why do you monsters and ghosts worry about him?
I'm a little tired after working all day, and I'm really too lazy to cook, so I might as well make hot pot.
There are half a kilogram of butter, cinnamon, star anise, sanye, fennel, grass fruits and other condiments in the space warehouse.
Close the doors and windows as usual, and sit the iron pot on the coal stove.
The fragrant hotpot base is stir-fried until it's done.
Add water, squat in front of the coal stove and use a book to fan the air inlet. When sweat breaks out on your forehead, the hot pot begins to boil.
Add the chopped mutton strips, Chinese cabbage, coriander...
A simple hot pot is made.
He picked up a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth. The mutton was so tender and fragrant that Li Weidong almost bit off his tongue.
The only regret is that there is no sesame sauce, candied garlic, or chive flowers.
Well, if I have a chance to eat at Donglaishun, I will ask the waiter if the condiments are for sale.
Eating hot pot is so relaxing in the winter. Li Weidong was eating enthusiastically when the sound of a broken gong came from outside the door.
"Attention, everyone, we will hold a meeting in the middle courtyard after dinner!"
It is impossible to go to a meeting. For a person who knows the results, holding a meeting is a pure waste of time.
There are only thirty-six thousand days in a person's life. Leaving aside the ignorant childhood and the immobile old age, there are less than 21,600 days; leaving aside the rest time, eating, drinking, having sex, and talking about love.
The total time for love and reproduction is less than 200,000 hours. The conference takes two hours, which is really a waste of time.
Might as well finish reading the book I borrowed from the library last time at home.
There is no way, Li Weidong is so pursuing!
After eating the hot pot, the smell in the room was also lighter. I opened the door to disperse the smell and took the iron pot to wash it under the faucet.
It is easy to eat but difficult to clean the pot. There is no detergent, so Li Weidong spent a lot of effort to clean the pot.
Alas, it’s better to marry Yu Li back quickly and let her take over!
After taking a look at the busy courtyard, he turned around and went back to the house, ready to study.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.
"Who is it?" He shouted, but no one answered, so Li Weidong could only get up and open the door.
I saw a girl with a dry figure standing in the dim sunlight.
"Why Yuyu?"
The girl is none other than He Yuyu.
The predecessor, Li Weidong, had a good relationship with Shazhu. When his buttocks were bare, He Yuyu would play with him behind his butt all day long.
Later, when the eldest girl grew up and learned to avoid suspicion, the two of them became estranged.
He Yuyu got engaged a while ago, and the man is a small-time police officer.
When they got engaged, Li Weidong and his aunt went to Xiaopian Police House as their natal family members.
That family is all honest people and their family is well off.
When I came back, my aunt kept mumbling that He Yuyu had married into a good family.
"It's cold outside, come in quickly. Yu Yu, congratulations, have you agreed with Xiao Zhou on when to get married?" Li Weidong let He Yuyu into the room and poured her tea.
He Yuyu held the enamel jar and warmed it for a while, then there was a trace of blood on his face and said: "Brother Wei Dong, I'm afraid this marriage won't work out."
"Why? Xiao Zhou is giving you a hard time. Let me talk to him when I have time. How dare he, a small policeman, behave in front of my driver?" He Yuyu is almost like a little sister to Li Weidong. After hearing the news,
Naturally, he was extremely angry.
"No, Zhou Zheng is very good to me, and his family is also very good to me. It's just that all his family members are from the police. He has no other requirements for the girl's family. The only thing is that he must be clean."
"My family's wealth is innocent. How come we don't have our family's wealth..."
Halfway through the conversation, Li Weidong understood that He Yuyu was referring to Silly Zhu stealing the chicken.
Reputation is very important these days, Tumo Xingzi can drown people.
Why is Yi Zhonghai able to take charge in the courtyard? It's because he has a good reputation.
If there is a thief in someone's family, everyone in the family will be implicated, and their marriages, children's schooling and work will be in trouble.
In the original work, Sha Zhu "stole" an old hen, but even though he was suppressed by Yi Zhonghai, he did not report it to the police station.
Since then, he has gained a bad reputation as a chicken thief. The man came from the police, so there is no way he can hide it.
I don’t know how He Yuyu overcame the difficulties. It wasn’t easy, otherwise she wouldn’t have rarely returned to the courtyard after getting married.
"My brother is not a thief, but no matter how I press him, he just keeps drinking and won't talk. What should I do?" After a while, big tears had already overflowed from He Yuyu's eyes.
"You have the best relationship with my brother. Can you help me persuade him?"
At this time, Li Weidong also figured out that Shazhu would have reached a dead end.
The reason why Silly Zhu admitted to stealing the chicken was not entirely because he wanted to lick Qin Huairu, but to a large extent because he could not explain the origin of the chicken in the pot.
Think about it, who buys a chicken regardless of the holiday season, or without a head or wings?
This clearly shows that it was brought out from the kitchen.
Compared with the crime of stealing chickens, the crime of stealing public property is more serious.
As long as Silly Zhu is not stupid, he will get off the donkey and admit that he stole the chicken, and by the way, he can gain Qin Huairu's favor.
Xu Damao received compensation, the Jia family escaped, Si Zhu also avoided being sent to the police station, and the courtyard could return to its former peace. This was a happy event for everyone.
Except for He Yuyu, she had to face the strange looks from her husband's family.
In the end, it was this innocent girl who silently shouldered everything.
Isn't this a scene where the bad guys are in a good mood and the good guys suffer?
As a time traveler, if Li Weidong can no longer help the little sister next door, his life will be in vain.
"Yu Yu, do you believe me?"
"Yes." Seeing that Li Weidong was willing to help, He Yuyu quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeves and nodded heavily.
Li Weidong waved and asked He Yuyu to come over, whispering in her ear: "You will be like this later..."
When He Yuyu heard the last part, his eyes widened suddenly: "Is this impossible? How could a good person like Sister Xiao Qin do such a thing?"
Li Weidong said: "Which one do you think Qin Huairu cares about more, Shazhu's reputation or the Jia family's reputation?"
He Yuyu still wanted to refute, but he was stunned for a long time after hearing this, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Unexpectedly, I misjudged her and thought she was sincerely helping our family."
Li Weidong took out a handful of toffee from his pocket and stuffed it into He Yuyu's hand.
"Remember, if you want to save yourself, you have to rely on yourself!"
He Yuyu nodded heavily, turned around and ran outside.
Since it was getting late, Li Weidong also put on his thick cotton-padded jacket, closed the door, and went to attend the conference.
night.
Thousands of lights gradually light up in the capital, and each one represents a different life.
It is now the depth of winter in the world, the ground has thawed, and there is a crisp sound when you step on it.
When we arrived at the middle courtyard, people were already crowding under the old camphor tree.
In the center of the crowd, there was an Eight Immortals table with an enamel jar saying "Serve the People" on the table.
The three uncles were sitting on the Taishi chair in a humanlike manner, resembling the patriarchs of the feudal era.
"What the hell! What are you doing? Whose daughter-in-law stole someone, and there was such a big fight?"
Li Weidong's words caused a burst of laughter. The residents of the courtyard had long been tired of holding meetings and were more willing to take it as a joke.
