The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

In the afternoon, Liu Minghui got off work and went home. Before he entered the yard, he saw Xu Damao standing in the yard from a distance.

Seeing him come in, she greeted him warmly and said, "Brother Liu, it's time to get off work, come to my house for a drink. My wife bought a little rooster at the market today, and it's just right to fry it and go with the wine."

Xu Damao had a slightly flattering expression, and his words showed that he hoped Liu Minghui would agree.

Liu Minghui glanced at Xu Damao and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't intend to refuse, so he smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, wait for your sister-in-law to come back, I'll go over as soon as I tell her."

He was not surprised that Xu Damao wanted to get closer after finally seeing Liu Minghui's abilities.

Xu Damao immediately became happy when he heard this, nodded repeatedly, and said, "No problem, I'll go back and prepare and wait for you."

After saying that, Xu Damao left. Yan Bugui, who was standing nearby, also heard their conversation, but since he and Liu Minghui didn't have a very good relationship, he was too embarrassed to go over and could only watch dryly from the side.

Liu Minghui ignored Yan Bugui and went home on his own. When he got home, he took out a bottle of Moutai and planned to take it over later.

Then he started to clean up.

"Hey, what's going on? Our master can clean up the place?"

When Yu Li came back and saw this scene, she laughed and teased Liu Minghui.

It's because Liu Minghui usually behaves like a master and has never done these household chores.

Liu Minghui was sweeping the dust off the photos hanging on the wall with a feather duster at the moment. Hearing this, he replied unhappily, "Why are you saying this in front of the child? Besides, I am setting an example for the child. When he grows up, you can order him around as much as you want."

Liu Minghui doesn't have Qin Huairu's idea that boys are treasures. Children should help with things at home within their ability. This can cultivate children's hands-on ability. Otherwise, when they leave home, they won't know how to do anything, which is not acceptable.

Yu Li almost laughed out of anger when she heard this. She couldn't help but pinch Liu Minghui's ear and said unhappily, "Even Mr. Yan outside can hear what you are thinking."

"Hey, hey, the child is still here, I noticed."

Liu Minghui, whose ears were pinched, could only beg for mercy and divert Yu Li's attention.

"I have to go to Xu Damao's house to drink later, don't embarrass me."

Liu Minghui said so, Yu Li had no choice but to let go, and then asked: "Why, Xu Damao came to see you again, if you want to go, go ahead, I'm at home with my son for dinner, it's okay."

Yu Li knew that Liu Minghui could drink a lot, so she wasn't afraid of him going out to drink with someone. As long as he didn't get drunk, it would be fine.

"Okay, give it to me, you haven't made it clean yet."

Yu Li took the feather duster and said with disgust.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui could only smile awkwardly. After touching his son's forehead, he left home and went to Xu Damao in the backyard.

"Director Liu, where are you going?"

When passing by the Central Courtyard, he was seen by Qin Huairu and questioned.

Liu Minghui and the Jia family had no conflicts. Although he disdained Qin Huairu, he would not hit a smiling person when meeting her. When she asked him questions enthusiastically, Liu Minghui replied with a smile: "I'll go to the backyard."

By the way, he raised the wine in his hand.

When Qin Huairu heard this, she thought of the aroma of chicken in the yard, and she understood what was going on. She smiled and said, "It seems that Xu Damao is inviting you to drink, right? Then you should go quickly. I am busy here, so I won't waste your time."

Qin Huairu pointed at the clothes by the pool and said with a helpless expression.

There are not only clothes from the Jia family here, but also those from the deaf old lady in the backyard. It's because the two families are living together now. No, it's not really living together. It can only be said that Qin Huairu is responsible for taking care of the deaf old lady's daily life. It's because Jia Zhang was forbidden to go there, so all things were left to Qin Huairu alone.

Liu Minghui didn't say much to Qin Huairu and left on his own.

Qin Huairu was left with only a deep sigh.

"Oh, when will it end?"

Qin Huairu kept working non-stop, and quickly washed the clothes, hanging them on the clothesline outside the door, and then she carried the wooden basin back to the Jia family.

As soon as she entered the door, Jia Zhang asked curiously, "Just now I saw you talking to Liu Xiaozi in the front yard, what were you talking about?"

Although Qin Huairu was not involved with Sha Zhu now, Jia Zhang would occasionally watch them and just now she happened to see the conversation between the two.

Of course, Jia Zhang would not think that Liu Minghui would have any connection with Qin Huairu. The main reason was that Liu Minghui's official identity made it impossible for him to fall in love with Qin Huairu. Jia Zhang asked this out of curiosity.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu didn't react much to Jia Zhang's stalking, as she was used to it.

"What else could it be? I just saw him going to the backyard and asked a question."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang nodded in understanding and changed the topic.

"Xu Damao is really lucky. Is he inviting the Liu family kid to dinner?"

Jia Zhang also smelled the fragrance in the yard. If her relationship with Xu Damao's family was not so bad, she would have found a way to go there and ask for some money.

"Yes."

Qin Huairu also echoed with a sigh.

But she felt that the lucky person was Li Guihua. They both came from the countryside and were widows with children. Li Guihua married Xu Damao, who became an official and could also present herself as an official's wife to outsiders.

It was impossible for Qin Huairu to say that she was not envious.

In the backyard, Xu Damao had prepared a large table of delicious food. When Liu Minghui arrived, Xu Damao was still busy.

"Brother Liu is here, hurry up and take a seat, there is another soup that will be ready soon."

When Xu Damao saw him coming, he greeted him and then went back to work in the kitchen.

Since Li Guihua’s cooking skills are not that good, Xu Damao has no choice but to cook by himself.

Li Guihua was helping in the kitchen. Only Xu Damao's two adopted sons were in the living room. When they saw Liu Minghui come in, they called him "Uncle" in a crisp voice.

After Liu Minghui responded, he turned to Xu Damao in the kitchen and said, "Why did you prepare so much? How can we finish it?"

After hearing this, Xu Damao came out and replied with a smile, "It's not that there are a lot of things at home, I just made this much by making do with whatever I had."

What Xu Damao said was a bit Versailles. If others heard it, they would probably spit at him.

Nowadays, there are still people who complain about having too many things at home.

Liu Minghui also had a helpless expression. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't you invite a few uncles over? It just so happens that you got a promotion. If you don't just invite the people in the compound to dinner, you should at least invite a few uncles."

Liu Minghui helped to come up with ideas. Xu Damao thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

Having said that, Xu Damao left the house and went to call for help.
