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

Poor Huang's second son, he cried out too late.

His friends still managed to throw quite a few snowballs at him, but he didn't bother to brush them off.

Huang Jianguo also ran towards Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin hugged the two boys one by one.

Yang Dalin then let the two of them get into the car.

A large group of children followed behind to watch the spectacle.

Yang Dalin slowly drove the car to the entrance of their small courtyard.

Uncle Huang's daughter, Huang Xiaoying, was much quieter than these boys.

They're playing jump rope with a group of little girls over here.

She saw a jeep parked in front of her house.

She wondered who this person was.

She saw that her mother and brother were coming down from upstairs.

There was also a handsome driver.

Huang Xiaoying hesitated for a moment, then immediately recognized him: "Brother Dalin, is that you?"

Yes, it's me.

Come on, share some candy, melon seeds, and peanuts with your brothers and their friends.

Yang Dalin simply took a bag out of the car.

He told them to share it with their friends in the compound.

Amidst a chorus of "Thank you, Brother Dalin."

Yang Dalin carried several bags into Aunt Liu's house.

Aunt Liu's house doesn't look like it has changed much.

However, some new things were also added.

Yang Dalin took out all the New Year's goods he had brought.

This earned him another round of complaints from Aunt Liu.

They said he wasted money.

Yang Dalin smiled sheepishly, pretending to be stupid.

Yang Dalin asked Huang Weiguo about joining the army.

Huang Weiguo should have been in high school last year.

However, it must be because of poor grades.

The soldiers were tested in the autumn.

Let's leave after the New Year.

I went to serve as a soldier in the Gobi Desert.

However, it's better to join the army than to go to high school.

Otherwise, who knows if things will get chaotic at school after the New Year.

Even if things are chaotic, Uncle Huang's family are all relatives of martyrs, so there's nothing wrong with them.

It's better not to participate in these kinds of activities.

Go directly to be a low-ranking soldier.

We're not afraid to go to the grasslands.

Anyway, we won't go to war with the Russians.

Huang Weiguo, however, had some knowledge because he had only graduated from junior high school.

He also became a communications soldier.

They also don't cross the border.

This put Aunt Liu at ease.

Huang Jianguo is still young; he has more than a year left before graduating from junior high school.

Huang Xiaoying was even younger; she hadn't even finished elementary school yet.

Yang Dalin also subtly reminded the Huang brothers.

From now on, one of them can focus on serving in the army and the other can focus on studying.

Just don't meddle in other people's business.

Don't jump to conclusions too easily.

Yang Dalin also told Aunt Liu that he had gotten married and had three children.

Aunt Liu kept praising Yang Dalin for being lucky.

It's a pity I didn't know that at the time. If I had known, I would have insisted on taking leave to attend his wedding and the baby's one-month celebration with the children.

Yang Dalin told Aunt Liu.

It's alright, we'll wait until transportation becomes more developed in the future.

When his children are older, he will bring them to play.

Aunt Liu said happily, "Okay, I'll bring the children to play next time."

Come and get acquainted with my house.

After saying that, Aunt Liu took out a few pieces of cloth from the cabinet on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Dalinzi, your aunt didn't know you were married, and she's never met your wife."

These pieces of fabric are for you. Take them back and give them to your wife as a token of your aunt's affection.

Yang Dalin knew he couldn't refuse.

Otherwise, his aunt wouldn't want the New Year's gifts he brought.

I had no choice but to accept it.

Huang Weiguo's children also said they had gifts to give to their niece and nephews.

After they finished speaking, they took out their treasured toys one by one.

Looking at their hopeful eyes,

Yang Dalin could only choose a limited number of items.

Yang Dalin didn't take things like glass marbles, rubber bands, or comic books.

He said the three little ones were still too young.

I can't play these games.

If you give them glass marbles, they'll dare to swallow them.

You can't take it.

They can't read comic books now; if you give them to them, they'll dare to tear them up.

I'll take it later.

After I explained all this to them, the three of them put their little collections away again.

Aunt Liu asked him again, "Dalinzi, did you drive here?"

"Have you had breakfast? Are you hungry? Auntie will make you some."

It was still early, only a little past nine in the morning, before lunchtime.

Yang Dalin must have eaten breakfast.

He quickly refused his aunt's offer.

Yang Dalin said, "I really ate it, Auntie, I'm not being polite."

"How about I go out with Weiguo and the others for a while, have a snowball fight with their buddies, and then come back when it's almost lunchtime?"

Seeing that Yang Dalin still had a childlike heart, his aunt said, "Okay, you can go ahead."

"I'll be right back after playing for a while."

Yang Dalin instructed Huang Weiguo to gather his former subordinates (his comrades from the courtyard earlier) and return to the battlefield.

We're getting ready to divide into classes and start a snowball fight.

At Huang Weiguo's command, more than a dozen little boys quickly came out of the courtyard.

There were also a dozen or so little girls.

Because Yang Dalin is old

If we divide the classes, he will definitely have fewer people on his side.

The Huang brothers, Weiguo and Jianguo, will definitely be in the same class as Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin was about to speak.

Huang Xiaoying tugged at Yang Dalin's clothes and said, "Brother Dalin, we want to fight too."

Standing next to her were the group of girlfriends who had been with her earlier.

These little girls aren't very strong, and Huang Xiaoying is too young; she'll probably be covered in snow soon.

Yang Dalin couldn't very well refuse her.

Yang Dalin then made a suggestion: "All of you girls can participate."

But all you need to do is stand on the sidelines and make the snowballs.

Wei Guo, you two brothers go to the other side.

Today, I'm bringing these girls to challenge all of you boys.

But it was agreed that the girls would only make snowballs in one corner.

I couldn't launch an attack when I took it in the past.

You can go and get it too.

Or make your own snowballs.

Is it okay?

The other party had a little boy about the same age as Huang Weiguo. Seeing how arrogant Yang Dalin was, he had no choice but to agree.

That must be agreed to.

Yang Dalin then began a snowball fight against more than a dozen little boys all by himself.

Yang Dalin was fast, strong, and agile, but he had little ammunition, so he started using kites to shoot.

Create some distance, quickly make a snowball, and throw it at the person closest to you.

Fortunately, Yang Dalin held back some of his strength.

The snowball wasn't clenched very tightly.

Otherwise, Yang Dalin could have smashed their faces.

Huang Xiaoying and her team were initially able to produce some ammunition for supply.

Seeing that Yang Dalin and the others were running further and further away, all they could do was cheer them on.

To make them feel involved,

Yang Dalin ran back in circles.

They used their clothes to hold many of the snowballs they made.

Keep attacking these kids.

The snowball fight lasted for over an hour.

Huang Weiguo was the first to admit defeat.

With a group of more than ten people, the chances of them hitting Yang Dalin were almost nil.

However, many of them were hit by Yang Dalin's attacks.

Moreover, his physical strength couldn't keep up with Yang Dalin's.

They were all panting and sweating profusely from running.

Yang Dalin acted as if nothing had happened.

Finally, someone took the lead, and they all surrendered quickly.

It's not that our side is weak; it's that the enemy is too physically strong and too cunning.

These guys were all impressed.

Fearing they might catch a cold, Yang Dalin let them go home after admitting defeat.

Don't take off your clothes now and catch a cold.

Overjoyed, Huang Xiaoying and the others escorted Yang Dalin home.
