Chapter 8 People in the Courtyard
Chapter 8 People in the Courtyard
After leaving the office, Li Kailang was also bored. He didn't have any tasks today. The truck had been repaired, and the other apprentices were learning how to repair it.
Just waiting for the bell to ring.
"Unity is strength
unity is strength
This force is iron
This strength is steel."
"Finally off work!" Li Kailang sighed with relief, a whole day's work finally came to an end.
"Xiao Li, let's go together!" Zhang Fen put his arm around Li Kailang's shoulders enthusiastically.
"Okay, let's go together." Li Kailangqing admired Zhang Fen's enthusiasm and straightforwardness, and the two often teased and joked with each other.
"Hehe, starting tomorrow, I can't call you Xiao Li anymore. I have to call you Master Li." Zhang Fen joked with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Go away, if you dare to call me that, my master will scold me to death." Li Kailang said bluntly.
Logically speaking, as the master's son, he should have passed the driving test long ago, but until now, Zhang Fen has not passed it yet, and instead, Li Kailang, who came later, passed it first.
How could Zhang Jinwu put his face down?
"By the way, do you have the confidence to pass the test?" Li Kailang asked seriously, worried about Zhang Fen's driving skills.
"Don't worry. After taking the exam a few times, I am more and more confident. I won't be afraid of failing the exam next time." Zhang Fen said confidently.
"I hope so." Li Kailang said. He was shocked by his co-worker's driving skills.
"What? You still don't believe me? Wait till I beat you to death." As he said that, Zhang Fen was about to hit Li Kailang.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm home. I don't want to chat with you anymore." Li Kailang saw No. 95 Nanluoguxiang right in front of him, and quickly broke free from Zhang Fen's hand and ran towards the courtyard.
"Hey, you're lucky." Zhang Fen said, but his face darkened.
Li Kailang came from behind and passed the driving test, which doubled his pressure. In addition, the strange looks from his co-workers and his father's expectations added to his pressure.
In addition, since he failed the last test, Zhang Fen began to doubt his abilities and even whether he was really suitable for driving.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Kailang saw Yan Bugui carefully watering his flowers.
Yan Bugui watched Li Kailang walk past him indifferently without even saying hello, and the expression on his old face couldn't help but be a little unhappy.
He muttered to himself: "Hey, this kid has no manners at all. Didn't he see that the third uncle is doing this..."
However, just as he was complaining, Li Kailang suddenly turned around and looked at him coldly.
Yan Bugui stopped talking for a moment and touched his nose awkwardly.
After all, as a teacher he still has some professional ethics, and he felt a little embarrassed to be discovered talking about people behind their backs.
"Hmph!" Li Kailang snorted and returned to the room.
After closing the door, Li Kailang immediately flashed and entered the space in an instant.
"Wow, they've all popped out!" Li Kailang saw that all the seeds in the space had sprouted tender green leaves, a scene full of vitality.
Li Kailang came to the spiritual spring and scooped up a mouthful of spiritual spring water with a ladle and drank it. (The water was flowing, not bath water.)
I suddenly felt a coolness in my body, my fatigue dissipated a lot, and I became more energetic.
He felt his strength recovering rapidly, as if all his fatigue and stress had been swept away.
After coming out of the space again, Li Kailang began to prepare dinner. The meal he cooked yesterday was good, so Li Kailang planned to make it again.
There is no stove in the space now, so I can’t cook. I’ll do it when I have time later.
Steamed rice, pork belly, shredded potatoes, and cabbage cubes, simple ingredients can be used to make delicious meals. Li Kailang is very confident in his cooking skills.
Just as he was busy with his work, a familiar voice came from the door.
"Sister Qin, why are you here again? This is for my sister!" Li Kailang knew without even looking that it was Qin Huairu who came to ask Sha Zhu for food.
Now Sha Zhu is a level nine chef in the steel rolling mill, earning 31 yuan a month. Although he has not yet reached the level eight chef's salary of 8 yuan, he lives a good life.
"Zhu Zi, you know I'm pregnant now and need to supplement nutrition. Bang Geng is still young, so give this meal to the baby."
As she spoke, Qin Huairu gently scratched Sha Zhu's palm with her soft hand, making Sha Zhu distracted and a little at a loss.
At this moment, Jia Zhang's voice sounded in time: "Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Why don't you get out of here? Do you want to get out of here and go back to the countryside?"
Hearing this, Qin Huairu snatched away Sha Zhu's two lunch boxes in a flash.
Only Sha Zhu was left disheveled in the wind. Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu had been working together for several years and they had already formed a tacit understanding.
The Jia family didn't want to spend money but wanted delicious food, so Sha Zhu's lunch box was the first to be affected. Besides, there was no loss.
Sha Zhu is now in a situation where he has the desire to do something bad to Qin Huairu but does not have the courage to do it. Being able to chat with Qin Huairu is the happiest thing for him.
"Tsk tsk tsk ~ A dog licker, he really licks until he has nothing left." Li Kailang looked at Sha Zhu's appearance and couldn't help shaking his head.
"Hey, Shazhu, what are you thinking about standing there? You're blocking the way." At this time, a man with a horse face and a pointed chin appeared outside the yard, pushing a bicycle.
It was Xu Damao. He looked at Sha Zhu with arrogance, as if he was some great person. "Hey, you grandson, what's your name?" Sha Zhu was called back to his senses by Xu Damao and was furious.
"Silly Zhu, if you dare to hit me, this is outside the yard. If you hit me, I will call the police to arrest you." Xu Damao threatened.
"You bastard, wait till you get in and see how I beat you to death." Sha Zhu shouted. He was not easily frightened and was not afraid of such threats.
"Silly Zhu, who are you going to beat?"
At this time, a burly and somewhat old man said.
It was Yi Zhonghai.
"Uncle, I want to beat up this bastard Xu Damao." Sha Zhu replied.
"Look at him and realize that you are not a child anymore. Don't be so impulsive all the time." Yi Zhonghai taught him.
He really cares about Shazhu and hopes that he can change this bad habit.
"Yes, yes, you are right, uncle." Sha Zhu said. He respected Yi Zhonghai very much and knew that the other party was genuinely kind to him.
So Sha Zhu pointed at Xu Damao and said, "Grandson, you're lucky. I won't beat you when I'm here."
After saying that, he followed Yi Zhonghai into the yard.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai was a seventh-level fitter, with a monthly salary of 84.5 yuan, and with subsidies, it would be even more.
Yi Zhonghai is already in his early fifties and is making plans for his retirement. Sha Zhu is one of his candidates.
"The Li family kid actually cooked!"
Sha Zhu smelled the fragrance coming from the window of Li Kailang's house. He sniffed gently and the fragrance in the air made him unable to help but admire it.
"Stir-fried pork belly with shredded potatoes, this tastes pretty good!"
When Sha Zhu smelled it, he was shocked to find that Li Kailang's cooking skills were surprisingly good.
He immediately walked to the window, opened it, and asked curiously, "Xiao Li, when did you become so good at cooking? I've never seen you cook before."
Li Kailang was almost frightened, but luckily he heard the discussion outside, "Shazhu, what are you doing!"
"Hey kid, you dare to talk to me like that? Believe it or not, I will beat you up." Sha Zhu cursed.
Li Kailang stared at Sha Zhu, "I believe it, of course I believe it!"
When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately became happy. It seemed that Li Kailang had admitted defeat.
But the next sentence made him furious.
"But I believe that you can't beat me!" Li Kailang said bluntly.
"Li Kailang, are you looking for a beating?"
As he spoke, Sha Zhu stretched out his strong right hand and rushed towards Li Kailang.
Li Kailang was cooking with a spatula when he suddenly slapped the hand that was extended to him.
"Snapped!"
"Ah!" Sha Zhu shouted and felt extremely painful.
When Yi Zhonghai heard the voice, he immediately turned around and saw Sha Zhu covering his hands, and quickly said:
"What's going on, Li Kailang, how could you hit someone?"
"Hey, uncle, don't talk nonsense. I saw with my own eyes that Sha Zhu was going to hit Xiao Li." At this time, Xu Damao spoke.
He was not trying to defend Li Kailang, but he felt relieved when he saw Sha Zhu being rejected by Yi Zhonghai.
"Really? Shazhu." Yi Zhonghai turned his head and looked at Shazhu with a serious look on his face.
"Uh...yes." Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai staring at him and answered hesitantly.
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "I just reminded you not to act impulsively. Why are you doing this again now? What do you want me to say to you?"
After saying that, he turned and left without any apology to Sha Zhu.
"Hehe~" Li Kailang smiled. He knew Yi Zhonghai's thoughts well and didn't care.
After all, there is still a long way to go! If you really want to mess with someone, there is no need to rush.
Besides, I didn't suffer any loss.
"Good boy, you are really good." Xu Damao said with a smile, then pushed his bicycle towards the backyard.
This chapter may not be so well written, but it expresses what I want to express.
