The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 2 Be a Good Person
The presence of the Li family in the courtyard is not high.

The reason is also simple. Although Father Li also works in the rolling mill, his situation is similar to that of Qin Huairu in the middle court.

A first-class salary in the early thirties a month, a family with a lot of children, can't support widows, and belongs to the most ordinary worker's family.

No one is willing to deal with the Li family, and the old lady Han Jinhua deserves the most credit.

According to some of Li Shengli's memories, Han Jinhua is the most capable shrew around the courtyard.

The ability to swear in the street may not be as good as Aunt Jia's in the middle court, but her hands-on ability can be regarded as a relatively strong shrew in the surrounding streets.

Han Jinhua, who has a bad temper, is a bit like a Northeast person, and she will never talk if she can do it.

There are not many taboos for women, from old to young, from male to female.

Anyone who has offended Han Jinhua will get a big mouth. As for scratching, it is a common tactic among girls.

Those who dare to tear up with her, no matter men or women, will mostly hide their faces and run away in the end.

Although the three children of the Li family do not have a high degree of existence, their backs are relatively hard in the courtyard because there are shrews supporting them behind them.

When Li Shengli brought the board to the middle courtyard, more than half of the people, old and young, had already arrived in the courtyard.

It's just that the brother and sister who are usually more active in the courtyard did not appear at the venue.

Although the staff is not neat, but the atmosphere of the venue is very lively.

Sitting together, chatting about homework and boasting about the atmosphere is one of the few means of entertainment nowadays.

The three uncles at the top did not have fun with the people, but looked at Xu Damao and his wife below with serious faces, and the culprit Sha Zhu.

Widow Qin, who is usually more enthusiastic, sat near the silly pillar a little restlessly, with a hesitant expression on her face.

Li Shengli, who was ignored, placed the board on the edge of the octagonal tree pool, and sat down directly.

The location of the tree pond is relatively close to the three uncles in the courtyard.

Watching a movie like this is equivalent to sitting in the front row.

Li Shengli was impressed by the scene in front of him. It was nothing special.

Watching the excitement, going through the motions, and going home early to sleep is the right thing to do.

Mother Han Jinhua has arranged tasks for tomorrow. The briquettes at home will not be used for heating until late winter.

At present, the Li family can only use firewood for cooking. There is not enough firewood for cooking.

Living in the imperial city is not easy.

Nowadays, firewood also costs money, and good firewood is not much cheaper than coal, which costs more than one catty per cent.

The firewood used for a meal can almost replace the stick noodles needed for a pot of porridge in the Li family.

Spending money to buy firewood is also unbearable for the Li family. Going out to collect firewood is not the monopoly of rural children.

Children in the city also have to go all over the street to pull firewood, or steal or pick it up. If they want to avoid being scolded or beaten, they always have to get firewood.

This is also the only task that Li Shengli has to complete in the past half a month, and his younger siblings will occasionally help.

Thanks to Li's father's status as a worker, the family is not in a hurry to let him find employment indiscriminately.

Taking over now is too early for Father Li, who is in his 40s, and the same is true for 17-year-old Li Shengli.

First find a temporary job, and then find a job as a temporary worker in the factory, and take over the class of your parents when you are old enough.

This is the path that the vast majority of workers' children will take. Although there are differences, the general path is the same.

The difficulty of the Li family is mainly due to the family account book, and Han Jinhua has to live within her means.

The Li family has deposits, but they won't use them easily.

For the future of her sons, mother Han Jinhua chose to eat her body and skin to deal with the shortfall of the month.

This is the experience honed during difficult times. Savings and grain storage are life-saving property, which cannot be easily used.

Besides, the Li family is not at the end of their ropes yet, at least they can still get their fill, right?

With deposits and food reserves, no famine and no debts, Han Jinhua manages the family well, and the Li family is not in a hurry.

This is also the reason why Li Shengli was able to roam around for such a long time after graduating from junior high school.

If my mother was like the third master Yan Fugui, who was calculating to the bottom of her heart, then Li Shengli should have taken to the streets to carry the big guy.

Although the conditions of the Li family are not good, they are not the worst. It is the biggest difficulty for the Li family that they need to live their lives with calculations.

Although it is not easy to live in Forty-Nine City, as long as there is a ration, it is still very easy to make a living.

Whether it's temporary workers on the street, temporary workers in the city, or odd jobs like carrying a big man, Sijiu City has no shortage.

With a little cleverness, it is still possible to earn ten or eight yuan a month.

After graduating from Li's opposite door, Yan Jiecheng got along like this. He was able to marry a wife, which is also inseparable from the fact that he and the third master's family are better at calculating.

After sitting down, Li Shengli wandered far and wide for firewood and livelihood.

The rhythm of the general meeting of the whole hospital began to speed up as the personnel were assembled.

The half chicken that was left to his younger sister He Yushui was treated by Xu Damao as stolen goods, which made the unscrupulous fool angry.

The intransigence of Xu's father-in-law and mother made Shazhu even worse, and at the same time made him consider whether he should take the blame for Qin's widow's son.

Petty theft means moral corruption. With such a bad reputation, it is difficult to find a wife.

For the sake of reputation, Sha Zhu immediately chose to refuse to take the blame.

Half a chicken in a casserole certainly cannot be said to be fire consumption in a steel rolling mill. If it is publicized and taken advantage of by the public, the consequences of petty theft are much more serious.

Sha Zhu was about to open his mouth to fabricate the origin of the half chicken, but Li Shengli, who was wandering in the sky, started to fuss in his mind.

'To prove the innocence of our neighbor He Yuzhu, every happy day starts with being a good person.

This reward, a sophomore and eighth bicycle. '

The reminder from the good guy system made Li Shengli scoff. Shazhu is innocent?
Stealing Xu Damao's little hen can only be considered petty theft, and it will only affect his reputation.

As long as you pay some money, the police station will be fine.

Li Shengli clearly knew the origin of the half chicken in the casserole of Shazhu's house. It was picked out of a small stove in a rolling mill.

The half chicken has no certificate and no provenance, so it can only be regarded as stolen.

Stealing chickens in a rolling mill is theft of public property, and if you are serious about it, you will go to jail.

Furthermore, rewarding a sophomore is not of much use to Li Shengli.

In the courtyard, only the third master and Xu Damao have bicycles, and Xu Damao's bicycle is the public property of the rolling mill.

The Li family is an ordinary family. If you get a bicycle out, it will only be considered as a show off, and it is of no use or benefit.

Rescuing Sha Zhu from the siege and provoking Widow Qin's white lotus flower is more or less worth the candle.

Li Shengli, with a clear heart, did not accept the system's advice to be a good person, but continued to think about the source of the firewood tomorrow.

Li Shengli didn't make a move, but Shazhu gave his reasons, saying that he bought the chicken in the casserole at the vegetable market.

Such a reason is very funny in the eyes of the third master who is good at calculating and has an obviously biased attitude.

Where did the half chicken in the casserole come from? The three uncles present know where it came from, and most of the residents in the courtyard house also know where it came from.

As a chef, Shazhu, let alone half a chicken, even a bastard is not uncommon.

The eye contact between Widow Qin and Shazhu is not invisible to everyone, but each has its own starting point, and it's just a tacit understanding.

'Prove the innocence of neighbor He Yuzhu before neighbor Yan Fugui, be a good person!
This reward, the mysterious prize. '

The mysterious prize made Li Shengli aroused interest.

The Erba Dakong is already a big item, since it is a grand prize, it is still mysterious, obviously it is stronger than the Erba Dahang.

The goal of the bicycle was too big, he couldn't explain the source, and there was no way to realize it, so he refused.

But the life of the Li family has endangered his health, so he still has some ideas about the extra income.

Seeing the third master in the arena, he pushed his glasses and was about to speak.

For the mysterious prize, Li Shengli didn't struggle too much, and immediately stood up and asked.

"Brother Da Mao, is the chicken in the casserole a rooster or a hen?"

The boy from the opposite door interrupted what he was about to say, and the expression on the face of the third master Yan Fugui was very unhappy.

The preoccupied person was decisive and shrewd, and before Xu Damao could speak, the third master withstood Li Shengli's question first.

"My lord's business, what are you meddling with?
Honestly, just sit down and have a meeting, don't come out and mess up. "

For the children in the courtyard, Yan Fugui thought that he had the dignity of a teacher, and with a single word, he wanted to suppress the Li family boy and start his performance.

"Third Master, true knowledge comes from practice, this is what the teachers often say.

I want to help Brother Damao solve the case. After all, a hen also involves countless eggs, which is no small matter for anyone.

The casserole is in Brother Da Mao's arms, and the male and female can't fly again. "

Now that he has chosen the mysterious award, Li Shengli will not give up halfway, so he resisted the pressure from the third master with a few words.

Li Shengli's reminder made Sha Zhu pat his forehead.

As Li Shengli said, hens involve countless eggs. Most of the chickens sold in the market today are young roosters and old hens.

No one is willing to sell a hen that can lay eggs. What he made today is stewed chicken with mushrooms, which naturally has nothing to do with the hen that lays eggs.

"Grandpa, thank you very much.

Grandson Xu, the casserole stewed in the casserole is a young rooster, isn't it a hen that you lost?

What do you want to see? It's gone for you to show me. Take your chicken as the debt! "

Thanks to Li Shengli with a cupped fist, Shazhu's aura was lifted, staring at Xu Damao and started a Jedi counterattack.

"Silly Zhu, don't bluff, no matter if it's a rooster or a hen, you still have to make your question clear."

Being pushed up by the Li family boy, the dignity of the teacher was provoked, and the third master's face was faintly angry.

Silly Zhu's rebuttal was pushed back by the angry third master.

"What's the matter?

Wasn't co-authoring tonight's conference to find a chicken for Xu Damao?
Grandpa, you keep talking, why is this meeting held tonight?
This is a meeting of the whole house, don't be serious. "

In the courtyard, with the support of a deaf old lady and an uncle, Sha Zhu was very arrogant.

In the words, there is also dissatisfaction with the third master.

Shazhu is also a human being, knowing who stole the chicken, he not only doesn't say anything, but also tries to muddy the water.

If there is a stalemate between him and the third master, maybe the stick will be fine.

"Silly, what are you talking about?
Is this the attitude you should have when talking to the uncle in the yard? "

Being targeted by Sha Zhu, the third master also changed his target, looking at He Yuzhu with a smirk on his face, and started a new round of attacks.

"Okay, let's get down to business.

Xu Damao, check to see if there is a rooster or a hen in the pot.

You live in the same courtyard as Zhuzi, so don't make him unhappy all day long. "

Knowing that Shazhu was not the opponent of the third child in the bickering, the uncle also opened his mouth with obvious bias.

After he finished speaking, he sat in the bangs of the second child in the middle, curled his lips into a smile, and the smile on his face was quite meaningful.

Seeing signs of conflict between the boss and the third child, Liu Haizhong didn't say a word, just sat quietly and watched the show.

"Then where is my chicken?

Look at Shazhu's sly eyebrows and mouse-eyed appearance, even if it wasn't the one in the pot, he probably stole my chicken.

Or call the police station, what's the matter with this nonsense? "

Seeing that the uncle turned his finger on him, Xu Damao didn't hesitate at all.

Regardless of whether it was a rooster or a hen in the silly pot, anyway, if he lost the chicken, the whole court would be the object of suspicion, and he himself was in an invincible position.

"okay!
You are not ashamed, I am ashamed too!
A chicken in the vegetable market is less than two yuan. This is two yuan, so I stole your Xu Damao's chicken. "

The matter has something to do with Sha Zhu and Widow Qin. The old man seems to have a clear mind, and the matter of stealing chickens is mostly done by Widow Qin's family.

Once reported to the police station, there is a chicken thief in the yard. Not only does he have a shameless face as the uncle in charge of the yard, he is likely to be implicated in Shazhu.

For this reason, the uncle could only calm down, took out two yuan from his pocket, and patted it directly on the table in front of him.

"Grandpa, I am the little hen from back then.

Victory is right, but there are countless eggs involved, you sent me away for two dollars? "

Xu Damao is also a human being, seeing that the old man wanted to sideline the fight, he felt a little annoyed, and wanted to embarrass the old man.

"just you?
Xu Damao, you really think highly of yourself.

Not to mention the little hens back then, even the old hens of three or four years, don't they all not lay eggs in your house? "

Seeing Xu Damao pointing the finger at the old man, Sha Zhu's side will stop accumulating morals.

Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai directly turned the meeting of the whole hospital into a talk show, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Being poked in the weak spot, Xu Damao was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

Lou Xiao'e next to her stood up blushing, pointed at Silly Zhu and spoke.

"Silly, you bastard!"

Lou Xiaoe yelled weakly, and her reaction to being seated could only serve as a catalyst to make the laughter in the courtyard continue to grow.

Xu Damao, who came to his senses, got up and was about to confront Shazhu, but was stopped by the uncle.

"Xu Damao, tell me a price, and I'll give it to you."

The meeting of the whole hospital was going well, and it was messed up. The uncle glared at Li Shengli, but he had no choice but to ask Xu Damao, the bitter master, to make a condition.

Li Shengli chose to ignore the uncle's gaze.

The uncle's anger is not as good as the scimitar-like eyes of Widow Qin.

If eyesight had the power to kill, Widow Qin would have whittled him down into a human stick long ago, so there is no need for the uncle to look at it any longer.
