Courtyard House: The eldest son of the He family marries a woman who brings him good fortune.

"Would there really be such good food? If each table has a braised pork knuckle and a plate of fried meatballs, even if there are eight tables, that would be eight pork knuckles and eight plates of meatballs. How much money and how many food stamps would that cost? Where could we buy all of that?"

"We don't need to worry about that. Anyway, Wang Liying can get anything from the grocery store. Even if she can't get it, we can have Sha Zhu bring it back when he goes out to buy things with the steel mill canteen."

There was movement outside the door.

Everyone thought it was a member of the He family returning.

They all looked out.

I never expected it to be Yan Bugui.

He rushed home as soon as he got off work.

They were afraid of missing any important news.

"How is it going? Has the person returned? Have they asked anything? When are we going to take action?"

"If it's going to be done tomorrow, I'll go back and ask for leave right now."

The three older women grabbed him, saying, "He hasn't come back yet..."

Yan Bugui looked surprised: "He's still not back? He's been gone for almost a day. Even his mother-in-law hasn't come back yet?"

"If they come back, we won't need to wait here."

"Oh no! Could it be that they're having a banquet today? Or did they hold it outside?"

Although all indications suggest that Yan Bugui's suspicions were correct.

But nobody wanted to believe it.

They kept comforting themselves.

"Impossible, they must have gone out for something else, maybe they went to take pictures."

"That's right, they must have gone to a photo studio, it definitely couldn't have been for a baby's full moon celebration."

"Old Yan, don't try to scare us. Did you see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears? Don't try to frighten us with baseless rumors."

The skill of speaking.

Liu Haizhong is back.

I saw a group of people gathered in the front yard.

"What are you doing?"

The thought that he had come back from the steel rolling mill meant that all I had to do was ask him if He Hongyang had gone to work today.

Did He Hongyang go to the steel rolling mill today?

"went."

"Where's Sha Zhu?"

"I went too."

Everyone was finally relieved.

If they go to the steel rolling mill, it means the banquet wasn't held today.

In other words, they still have hope!

"That's good. I thought they went out to hold a banquet today."

"We went to hold a banquet. The banquet was held in the steel mill's canteen. There were so many people, it was incredibly lively!"

what?

Everyone's pupils dilated in shock!

what?

Was it served in the steel rolling mill canteen?

No wonder they haven't come back all day!

No wonder they didn't give any prior warning!

It turns out the He family had already planned this out.

From the very beginning, they never intended to invite people from the courtyard house.

From the very beginning, they had already devised a plan.

They were all kept in the dark!

Auntie Er slapped her thigh anxiously.

"Since it was held in the steel mill's canteen, why didn't you come back to inform us?"

"Why are you being notified? You're not factory employees, and you can't even get into the steel rolling mill's canteen."

"But we're his neighbors! We've already prepared everything, why didn't he invite us?"

"You'll have to ask him, not me."

"So who did he actually invite?"

"how could I know."

Yan Bugui asked him in surprise, "You didn't even invite you?"

The bangs are a bit too much for my face.

Logically speaking, even if He Hongyang didn't invite the other people in the courtyard, he should at least have invited him.

He was not only his neighbor, but also a worker at the steel rolling mill.

Moreover, he is now a master blacksmith at the fifth level.

But rather.

We didn't invite him!

He only found out from others that a banquet was being held at the steel mill's canteen today.

He stubbornly retorted, "It's just a meal, what's so special about it?"

The second aunt said, "You didn't say this when we were at home. How did I tell you to come back and report if there was any trouble? Why didn't you come back to report?"

Seeing that the second aunt was pulling at him endlessly.

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he pushed her away.

"You old woman, do you think I'm starving or thirsty? Get home and cook for me right now!"

Yan Bugui's stomach is growling with hunger. 4.2

He hadn't had a proper meal in several days.

My stomach is not only empty of oil and water, but I've almost completely digested the cornbread as well.

We've been waiting for so many days.

This is the meal I've been waiting for.

Seeing that his plans were about to fall through, he was really unwilling to give up!

I never expected He Hongyang to pull this stunt.

I can accept not getting any advantage from him normally, but I'm really not happy about not getting one today.

"We can't just let this go; we have to get an explanation from him."

The women nodded in agreement: "That's right, we must get an explanation from him."

“Old Yan, you’re a primary school teacher, you know a lot about big principles. When the He family comes back later, you must give them a good scolding.”

Because he was a teacher, Yan Bugui knew his own limitations even better.

The He family didn't invite them, so if they said that about them, wouldn't they be making a fool of themselves?

Yan Bugui didn't want to be the one to stick his neck out.

In the courtyard houses today, Liu Haizhong is currently enjoying great popularity.

Although that's what he just said, you could tell from his expression that he wasn't willing to give up.

He Hongyang did not invite him.

He lost face not only in the courtyard house, but also at the steel rolling mill.

“Old Liu, you take the lead. Don’t forget you’re the factory’s senior craftsman. He’ll always have to call you Master Liu. It’s just not right that he doesn’t even invite you, his Master Liu.”

Liu Haizhong not only wanted to demand an explanation from He Hongyang, but also wished he could give him a good scolding in front of everyone.

This is making him lose face!

This shows they don't respect him, a veteran craftsman!

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't dare say it out loud.

After all, He Hongyang had invited some prominent figures from the steel rolling mill today.

If I make such a scene and it gets back to them, he'll definitely be in big trouble.

He didn't want to offend so many people over a single meal!

I don't want to stand against He Hongyang just because of a meal!

143. I'm so craving pork knuckle!

144. Guards, catch the thief!

The two men, bending over, stealthily entered the central courtyard.

They arrived at the He family's small kitchen, familiar with the place.

Just thinking about those lunchboxes, and the thought that there's pork knuckle inside.

Their eyes were wide open, like copper bells.

"Squeak!"

strangeness.

The kitchen door was not locked.

The three women gestured to him, asking, "Why isn't the door locked? Could something be going on inside?"

Yan Bugui, however, disagreed.

It's better not to lock the door!

Perhaps God took pity on them and deliberately left the He family's door unlocked so they could come in openly.

As soon as I entered.

Yan Bugui felt as if he had bumped into something.

"Hey (Transit 371, yo! 72)"

Realizing that she had made a sound, she immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

"Don't make a sound, it's me."

Isn't this an older woman?

What's she doing here?

It turns out that the older woman thought the same thing as them.

I didn't sleep all night either.

Thinking it over, today is definitely a great opportunity; once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever.

She was really greedy.

There wasn't a drop of oil in his stomach.

Recently, Yi Zhonghai has been bringing home less and less money.
