Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 51 Free and Easy
In the evening, at a small pub at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang.

Zhou Weimin and his friend ordered a plate of peanuts, a plate of side dishes, and four taels of wine.

After the two sat down, they clinked glasses and then started chatting.

Guo Xiangming poured himself a glass of wine and said with some emotion: "Wei Min, it's been a long time since we sat down and had a good drink like this."

Zhou Weimin smiled and asked with interest: "Yes, it's been quite busy these days. The New Year is coming soon, Xiang Ming, what do you think about next year?"

"You figured it out."

Guo Xiangming smiled bitterly and shook his head. After eating two peanuts, he fell silent.

After a while, she said faintly, "Now that we're married, it's not good to run around outside all the time."

"Are you still in the purchasing department?"

Zhou Weimin nodded in understanding. People would make different choices at each stage, so it was normal for Guo Xiangming to have such thoughts.

"Well, it will just be a decoration from now on. I'll see if there's a chance to go out again in a few years."

Guo Xiangming did not hide anything and even smiled self-deprecatingly after he finished speaking.

He struggled for a long time, but in the end he went back. It was really ridiculous.

Zhou Weimin poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass and clinked it with his, then said with a smile, "You don't have to be the same as now. If you don't want to be a decoration, you have a way. Even if I'm not in the purchasing department next year, do you think I can still watch over you when you have difficulties?"

The last time he attended his wedding, he knew everything about this guy, because the old leader behind Li Huaide was also there.

With Guo Xiangming's power, it shouldn't be easy for him to become a powerful section chief. His father is at the same level as the person behind Li Huaide. I really don't know what there is to be pretentious about.

"Tsk, let's go to the cafeteria? You're hiding really well."

Guo Xiangming raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, "Let's play something big?"

Zhou Weimin smiled slightly and did not answer, but filled his glass with wine.

"Since it's already like this, why not do your best?"

As Guo Xiangming spoke, he raised his glass, and he looked more free and easy.

Zhou Weimin let out a long sigh and clinked his glass with his. "I'm really impressed by you. You dare to say this to me. Take your time. There will be a chance."

"You are my brother."

Guo Xiangming smiled, he knew he was not mistaken.

"You owe me a drink."

Zhou Weimin finished his drink, said this, then stood up and left.

"Come to my house for a drink next time."

Guo Xiangming shouted and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After serving the untouched peanuts and side dishes to the diners at another table, he got up and left the tavern.

……

Riding on the way to the courtyard, Zhou Weimin's face was more smiling than usual.

Guo Xiangming's change gave him another option for his future.

He originally just wanted to take the position of canteen director so that he could protect his family for ten years.

After all, even if there is space, it is impossible for him to continue climbing up without a background, and even if he climbs up, he will be pulled down by others.

But now...

As he was thinking, Zhou Weimin had unknowingly arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

Before entering the yard, I heard He Yushui's voice faintly coming from the middle courtyard. "Brother, why are you back?"

When I walked into the front yard, I met Zhou Weihong who had just walked out of the house.

Zhou Weimin pushed his bicycle into the house and asked casually, "Just a drink and a chat, what's going on in the Central Court?"

"I just came out too, brother. Let me heat up the food. You eat first and I'll go check on you later."

Zhou Weihong walked to the cupboard, took out the reserved steamed buns and vegetables, and walked swiftly to the stove.

These dishes were left behind in case Big Brother drank too much and didn’t eat much. Even if we don’t use them, we can just heat them up and have them for lunch tomorrow.

Guard Zhou had stood at the door without knowing when, and said loudly, "I'll go take a look, Wei Hong, you go do your thing."

Zhou Weimin nodded and said with a smile: "Then Guard, go and take a look."

My younger brother is going to start working soon, so it’s time for me to go and see what the people in this yard are like.

Seeing her second brother go, Zhou Weihong said to Zhou Weimin coquettishly, "Big brother~~~I want to go too."

Zhou Weimin didn't say anything either, just looked at his sister quietly.

Ten seconds later, Zhou Weihong went to light a fire dejectedly.

At this time, Guard Zhou had already arrived at the central courtyard.

He Yushui was seen standing beside the washing table, looking angrily at Qin Huairu who was washing clothes.

"Sister Qin, I will help my brother wash his clothes, so you don't need to come. Wei Hong also helped wash brother Wei Min's clothes!"

He Yushui said again without giving up, perhaps he was really anxious, and this time he even brought Zhou Weihong as an example.

Qin Huairu lifted her hair and said with a smile, "Yushui, I just want to thank Zhuzi for helping our family so much. If I don't do something, I will feel bad."

"Sister Qin, you can't help my brother with his laundry. If this gets out, what will everyone think?"

He Yushui said anxiously that she didn't know why Sister Qin insisted on washing these clothes.

The New Year is coming soon. If something gets out, she won't be able to make up for it.

"It's okay. People from other courtyards can't see it. I've made it clear about the big guys in our own courtyard. No one will misunderstand."

Qin Huairu had already thought of her words, so she was naturally very relaxed when responding to He Yushui's words.

Seeing Guard Zhou coming over, she continued to say to He Yushui, "Yushui, you're not usually in the yard, and your brother is a cook, so the clothes can't be left there all the time. I also need to wash clothes, so I'll help your brother wash them. Your brother will be able to wear clean clothes, and it will also be easier to find a sister-in-law for you."

He Yushui was immediately confused by Qin Huairu. Although she felt something was wrong, she couldn't find any words to refute. She could only say angrily, "No, no, Sister Qin, you can't wash my brother's clothes! Guard, say something!"

At the end, he looked at Zhou Weibing for help, wanting him to judge the matter.

"What is it, Sister Yushui? I don't know what happened. No, it's almost dark, and Jia's sister-in-law is still washing clothes. Won't she be frozen?"

Guard Zhou scratched his head in confusion and looked at the two of them with doubt.

He had never seen anyone washing clothes at night in the middle of winter.

Qin Huairu is quite interesting. She can think of such a way to build a relationship with Sha Zhu.

However, this is a bit too hasty, it's almost dark.

As soon as Guard Zhou finished speaking, Qin Huairu and He Yushui both paused.

"Sis, you still have to go to work during the day, so just wash it at night and hang it up in the house, and then take it out to dry in the morning."

Qin Huairu reacted quickly and immediately found a suitable excuse.
