After the third uncle left, Su Cheng glanced at him and stood aside. He Yuyu, who was holding back his smile, laughed and cursed,
"Yu Yu, you're just going to watch me suffer, and you won't even remind me?"
The two of them were talking while walking. He Yuyu showed his face and said,
"Brother Su Cheng, you will gain wisdom after every experience. After suffering this loss, you will know to avoid the third uncle and the third aunt when you buy groceries!"
Su Cheng asked puzzledly,
"Why should I avoid them? Are they still trying to trick me with today's tricks? Am I that stupid?"
He Yuyu smiled and said,
"Brother Su Cheng, this was the first time you were buying vegetables and the third uncle saw you in the yard, so he slaughtered half of your vegetables. If the third uncle sees you buying vegetables and returning to our yard next time, he will tell you that it's just right at home.
I'm short of something, and I ask you for a green onion, a pepper or something, will you give it to me or not?"
Su Cheng:!
!
Damn it, how can you be so shameless?
Su Cheng smiled bitterly upon hearing this,
"After all, I am an elder and what I want is not something valuable. I really have to give it to you."
He Yuyu's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he said with a smile,
"Look at this courtyard, when people buy vegetables, they will intentionally or unintentionally avoid the third uncle and the third aunt. And the third uncle and the third aunt also know how to measure their own. When they see people ordering dishes, they will take over every now and then, like you, a big boss like you.
It’s so cheap, but they won’t take action against the families in need in the courtyard.”
When Su Cheng heard what Yu Yu said, he also smiled bitterly and said,
"The third uncle and the third aunt who co-authored this are robbing others from their wealth to give to their own poverty!"
He Yuyu also smiled and said,
"Brother Su Cheng, your metaphor is quite appropriate."
While the two were talking, they had already walked to the door.
Looking up, he saw the old lady moving two low stools and sitting in the small courtyard in front of the door, basking in the sun.
Why two?
Because there was also a person sitting on the other low stool.
This man has an apple-cheeked face and short shoulder-length hair. Who else could it be if he wasn't Lou Xiao'e?
At this moment, the old lady was holding Lou Xiao'e's hand and saying some kind words to herself, with a loving smile on her face from time to time.
Lou Xiao'e's eyes were sharp. When she saw the two people coming back, she stood up and said hello,
"Brother Su Cheng, Yu Yu, are you guys back from shopping together?"
Su Cheng glanced at Lou Xiao'e. After all, he and Yu Yu were not siblings, so he still needed to explain a little to avoid being misunderstood by Lou Xiao'e, so he weighed the dishes in his hands.
"Yeah, I'm a big man, but I don't know anything about grocery shopping, so I asked Yuyu to help me with my advice."
He Yuyu smiled at Lou Xiao'e as a response.
Although they all live in the same compound, when Lou Xiaoe moved into the compound, He Yuyu was still in high school and did not live in the courtyard for many days.
After graduating from high school, he went directly to work in a textile factory and didn't go back to the courtyard house much, so the two of them were not familiar with each other.
Then He Yuyu walked up to the old lady, squeezed her shoulders and said playfully,
"Grandma, how are you? Are you comfortable?"
The old lady closed her eyes slightly and said with an expression of enjoyment,
"Of course it's comfortable. Our Yuyu girl's hands are very skillful."
Lou Xiao'e next to her glanced at the deaf old lady and said with a smile,
"Madam, it's getting late. I have to go back and prepare lunch."
The old lady glanced at Lou Xiao'e and said reluctantly,
"Xiao'e, when you have time, please come over and chat with me, my wife!"
The old lady usually didn't have much to do, and Su Cheng also had to go to work, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he stayed in the house most of the time,'
Sometimes there is no one to talk to, so Lou Xiao'e will occasionally come over to talk to her, and the relationship between the two is relatively close.
When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she nodded and said with a smile,
"Madam, just don't bother me when the time comes!"
When the old lady heard this, she also said happily,
"My wife, I wish you could come here every day!"
When Su Cheng on the side saw this, he also looked at Lou Xiao'e and asked,
"Brother and sister, where is your Damao? Why haven't you seen him recently?"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said,
"He has been going to the countryside to show movies to the commune these days. He came back very late last night. He probably hasn't even gotten up yet."
It's almost the New Year's Eve. As a projectionist, Xu Damao is currently his busiest time.
The surrounding communes have almost completed their planned tasks, so they will invite projectionists to show movies at their places to let everyone relax.
Tomorrow is the end of December, and the factory has also arranged a screening task for Xu Damao. It can be said that Xu Damao's work has been fully scheduled recently. Even if Su Cheng wanted to have a drink with Xu Damao, he would have to make an appointment.
Su Cheng thought for a moment and nodded, saying,
"Then, when he wakes up later, you can let him come to my place for a drink at night."
It was said that it was just two drinks, but in fact, there was some care from Su Cheng in it.
There will be a movie in the factory tomorrow, and it is a rare opportunity for Xu Damao to have some friendship with the factory leaders.
At that time, no one can say whether Damao will be allowed to get extremely drunk and be tied to the kitchen by Silly Zhu and have his underwear taken off, which will eventually cause chaos in the courtyard.
So he had to talk to Xu Damao at night. It wasn't that the Holy Mother's heart was overflowing.
We are all in the same courtyard, and we have friendships, so we can do less nonsense.
When Lou Xiao'e saw Su Cheng say this, she was actually unhappy. After all, whose daughter-in-law likes her man to go out at night?
But this was the first time Su Cheng spoke, and Lou Xiao'e didn't want to offend Su Cheng, so she nodded.
"Okay, I'll tell her later."
Then he walked back to his home, while not forgetting to remind Su Cheng,
"You can just drink as much as you like then. Damao only has that much drinking capacity. He will be showing a movie in the factory tomorrow!"
Su Cheng smiled and assured,
"Brother and sister, don't worry, nothing will happen to you!"
After Lou Xiao'e left, Su Cheng also carried the things into the house. The old lady was no longer basking in the sun in front of the door.
He walked to Su Cheng's side with the help of Yu Yu on crutches, tapped Su Cheng's calf with the crutch, and said unhappily,
"You little monkey, aren't you asked to associate with Young Master Xu Damao?"
Even though the old lady was close to Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao didn't do anything to feel sorry for Lou Xiao'e at the moment.
But the old lady just looked down upon Xu Damao, and Su Cheng couldn't persuade her. He glanced at the old lady helplessly and said,
"Grandma, Damao and I grew up together and are neighbors. We can't see each other when we look up. How can we really not move around anymore? Don't worry about it. I have my own sense of proportion."
Then he smiled again and said,
"Qin Huairu will have to bring her cousin to our house later. If you are so determined, you might as well give me more attention and take a good look at how your granddaughter-in-law is doing."
When the old lady heard this, she also said happily,
"You're the only monkey boy who can talk."
After Su Cheng came back from seeing Ran Qiuye that night, he briefly told the old lady about the storm.
At this time, the old lady also let go of the stereotype that Qin Jingru was a country girl, so now she is not very opposed to Su Cheng and Qin Jingru seeing each other.
He Yuyu on the side felt uncomfortable for a while after hearing what the two said, but he still had a forced smile on his face, glanced at the old lady and said,
"Grandma, it's not early now, so I'll leave first!"
When the old lady heard that He Yuyu was about to leave, she glared at He Yuyu with dissatisfaction.
"Why are you going? Your home has been taken over by Qin Huairu, where else can you go?"
Yuyu smiled against his will,
"Grandma, I'm going back to live in the textile factory, and I have to go to work tomorrow."
The old lady said dissatisfiedly,
"Then you have to at least finish your meal before leaving?"
"Brother Su Cheng's blind date is coming over later, what do I mean by staying here?"
When He Yuyu spoke, he glanced at Su Cheng reluctantly from the corner of his eye, then looked at the old lady and said,
"Grandma, don't say anything. I'll go back to the textile factory early and I can catch up with the meal."
The old lady looked at He Yuyu with reluctance,
"You are grandma's good granddaughter. What's wrong with staying for a meal?"
Then he looked at Su Cheng and said,
"Seiko, don't just stand there like a piece of wood, talk instead!"
Su Cheng glanced at He Yuyu and knew that Yuyu just didn't want to see him having a blind date with Qin Jingru.
He knew that leaving He Yuyu to eat here would only make the other party feel more uncomfortable, so he didn't try to stop him, so he immediately said,
"It's raining, so be careful when riding on the road."
The old lady on the side did not expect that Su Cheng would not help her keep people, but would also drive them away. She immediately said dissatisfied,
"What are you talking about, you little monkey!"
When He Yuyu heard this, he comforted him and said,
"Grandma, please don't embarrass Brother Su Cheng. I want to leave on my own."
After He Yuyu finished speaking, he let go of the hand supporting the old lady. When he walked to the door,
He turned around and curved his eyes into crescent moons, and said to the old lady with a smile,
"Grandma, I'm leaving! Don't miss me too much. I'll come back to see you when I'm free."
He Yuyu then turned his head away, his eyes never daring to look at Su Cheng from beginning to end.
Because she didn't have the courage to say goodbye to Su Cheng.
