The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

After firing the gun, Yang Dalin reluctantly returned it to the security department.

Which man doesn't like playing with guns?

Yang Dalin thought to himself, "Maybe I should go to the black market and buy a couple someday."

Having only a dagger and axe in my own space makes me feel really insecure. I don't have any ranged weapons. Even if I had a slingshot, I could attack people from a distance.

Yang Dalin reluctantly watched the security department's armory recede into the distance, turning back again and again with each step.

Tian Xueyi slapped him on the head: "Stop looking, hurry up and get your driver's license, and I'll immediately help you apply for a good gun."

Yang Dalin shrank his neck and said, "Brother Tian, ​​I think that one on your waist is pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xueyi thought, "Damn it, this brat has his eye on my gun."

This was captured on the battlefield; it has a different meaning, so I can't give it away.

However, when he thought about how Qi Desheng had another good gun that he wouldn't have much of a chance to use, he came up with an idea. He put his arm around Yang Dalin's shoulder and said, "Dalinzi, let me tell you, your brother Desheng has another good gun, which was also captured on the battlefield. It's even better than mine."

He's at the station every day, but he's rarely needed.

It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you; I'll still be driving with you every day, and I'll still need it, right?

Go find Desheng's wife. She doesn't like him playing with guns. Get him his gun, and that will solve the problem.

"Let me tell you, that one is better than mine. His is the sidearm of an American battalion commander, while mine is only the sidearm of a company commander."

Yang Dalin's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Yes, that's a good option.

Yang Dalin pulled Tian Xueyi and said, "Come on, come on, let's hurry up and go find Sister Xuemei to get to know her better."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xueyi quickly pulled his hand away. "Good lad, you really are like a snake that follows you everywhere."

"Go ahead, everyone's in the cafeteria right now."

"Stay away from me, and don't say I gave you that advice."

After saying this, Tian Xueyi walked eight feet away from Yang Dalin and went back to get his lunchbox to go to the canteen to get food.

Yang Dalin didn't take it seriously.

I haven't seen Sister Xuemei for several days now, so I really need to go and find her.

Yang Dalin then went to the office to get his lunchbox, and took out a new lunchbox from his storage space.

This new lunchbox contains some braised beef and pork head meat, not much of it, but it weighs a little over half a pound in total.

Then, after closing the lid, I took the empty lunchbox and went to get some vegetables and steamed buns.

I looked around the cafeteria but couldn't find Gong Xuemei. I guess she either went back to her office or was in Qi Desheng's office.

Yang Dalin took two lunch boxes to Gong Xuemei's dispatch room first, but did not find her.

Then it must be in Qi Desheng's office.

Yang Dalin arrived at Qi Desheng's office and knocked on the door.

Qi Desheng called from inside, "Come in."

As Yang Dalin entered the office carrying two lunchboxes, he saw that the couple was indeed eating a delicious meal together.

Two dishes were placed in front of the couple, one of which was a meat dish they had brought from home, with the lid of the lunchbox only partially closed.

When Qi Desheng saw that it was Yang Dalin, he quickly tried to close the lunchbox, but Yang Dalin had already smelled it.

Gong Xuemei glanced at Qi Desheng's stingy appearance, rolled her eyes at him, and said to Yang Dalin, "Dalinzi is here. Come on, let's eat together."

Yang Dalin sat down on the other side and looked at Qi Desheng's stingy appearance: "Tsk tsk, Brother Sheng, sigh, with our relationship, you're always wary of me. It's really disheartening for a brother like me."

As Yang Dalin spoke, he opened his lunchbox.

The flesh inside was exposed.

Ignoring Qi Desheng's dark red face, Yang Dalin called out to Gong Xuemei, "Sister-in-law, come here. I got some meat and specially came to treat you to it. As for that leader, forget about him."

They even ate the meat I bought before; their behavior today is truly disheartening.

Gong Xuemei knew the two were just joking, so she cooperated by sitting down next to Yang Dalin with her lunchbox and said with a smile, "Yes, someone is too stingy. I'll eat with my brother Dalin. I'll try the meat and vegetables my brother brought."

Mmm, this meat smells delicious.

Gong Xuemei ate her meat and glared at her family's big black bear.

Qi Desheng, the Great Black Bear Spirit, knew that Yang Dalin's actions were definitely not well-intentioned.

I've never seen him come over for lunch before, but he suddenly came today and even treated his wife to meat. He must be plotting something against me.

You need to be careful.

If my own wife, the tigress, falls into her trap, I'll be the one who suffers the loss.

Qi Desheng opened his lunchbox, which contained only a dish of stir-fried cabbage with sliced ​​pork, but with a slightly larger amount of pork slices.

This must have been a special meal his wife prepared for him, but he's eating it all by himself now, and he's eating it without any appetite.

Obviously, Yang Dalin's place has both beef and pork head meat, plus a generous portion of fried pork cracklings and radish from the canteen.

Although it was said to be a treat for Gong Xuemei, Gong Xuemei didn't actually eat many pieces; Yang Dalin ate most of it himself.

Gong Xuemei was still very accommodating to Yang Dalin.

Just seeing his big black bear spirit get its comeuppance makes him feel good.

After finishing her meal, Gong Xuemei poured some boiled water into Yang Dalin's lunchbox.

We tell him to drink the water with the oil in his mouth later; that's what we usually do.

While waiting for the water to cool, Gong Xuemei asked Yang Dalin if something was wrong.

Yang Dalin said, "Sister-in-law, it's nothing. I just haven't seen you for several days and I missed you. I have a few pieces of milk candy here. Take them and sweeten your mouth."

Yang Dalin stuffed the candy into Gong Xuemei's hand.

Gong Xuemei was delighted to hear this: "My little brother Dalinzi is so good. These words warm my heart."

How about we visit your sister-in-law this weekend? She'll cook you something delicious.

Yang Dalin's goal was simply to go to Qi Desheng's house and see if there was a chance to get his service pistol. But there was no rush; he could scout the place first.

Yang Dalin nodded and readily agreed, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll be there on time this weekend."

Upon hearing this, Qi Desheng realized that the kid was really opportunistic.

This kid is definitely up to no good. He's probably like a weasel paying respects to a chicken, plotting something wicked.

But he couldn't refuse, he couldn't say, "Don't go."

Especially since it was his own wife who invited him, he could only sullenly gnaw on his steamed bun and eat his own vegetables.

Yang Dalin shook the water in the lunchbox, and when it wasn't too hot anymore, he drank it all in one gulp.

After saying goodbye to Sister Xuemei, I also greeted Qi Desheng warmly before departing.

After Yang Dalin left, Gong Xuemei closed the door and pinched Qi Desheng's ear, saying, "Look at your actions just now, how stingy you were. You really disgraced the deputy station chief, and you didn't act like an elder brother at all."

The big black bear spirit hurriedly said, "Ouch, ouch, wife, be gentle."

Don't worry, this kid won't mind. Many of us brothers used to joke around like this. If he really wanted to eat my food, would I refuse him?

I was just teasing him, but this kid is really smart. I don't object to him coming to our house as a guest, but I always feel like he's plotting something against me. Want to make a bet?

Gong Xuemei must know her husband's behavior; he's not really stingy.

She was just worried that Da Linzi might misunderstand her actions.

While we're at it, let's find an excuse to teach that big black bear a lesson.

Gong Xuemei sat down opposite Qi Desheng: "What could you possibly be plotting against you?"

They won't even give them a bite of meat.

Qi Desheng smiled and said, "Come on, wife, how could this boy go without meat?"

Didn't you notice that the meat you ate today tasted the same as the one I brought home last time?

The cooked meat and salted duck eggs I brought home last time were all from this kid.

But I paid for it, so it wasn't for nothing. If you don't believe me, go ask Xueyi and that kid.

He knew someone from Pigeon City through Old Qi, who lived in their courtyard.

Getting some meat shouldn't be a problem.
