Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Seeing that Han Li had closed the live stream, Xiao Shan also got up to go buy coal briquettes.

Upon arriving at the place selling coal briquettes, Xiaoshan bought 600 jin (300 kg) of coal briquettes.

Then I found a cart driver to help me pull it back to my yard.

When they arrived at the courtyard gate, the bus driver even helped Xiaoshan move the coal briquettes.

Fortunately, 600 jin of coal briquettes wasn't a lot, so it only filled about ten baskets.

Moreover, when Liu Tianguang saw Xiao Shan unloading coal, he also took the initiative to run over and help.

Soon, the coal briquettes were unloaded into the small shed in the corner of Xiaoshan's house.

Hearing the commotion, many people came out of the courtyard.

After Xiao Shan saw the cart driver off, Yi Zhonghai strolled to the backyard and said to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, will you be able to burn all these coal briquettes? The old lady lives close by, and her ration of coal is not enough. You can't be stingy when it comes to it."

The Moral Celestial Venerable was indeed extraordinary; his words carried an aura of morality.

Xiao Shan replied with a smile, "Uncle, you're being too polite! I'll move half of it to the old lady's place later. My parents have passed away, and I have no siblings. The old lady is also an elderly person living alone, with no one to take care of her. It's a good opportunity for us to take care of each other, and I'll consider it my way of caring for the old lady until the end."

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Yi Zhonghai's eyelids twitched violently.

Why am I so forgetful?

He went and provoked Xiao Shan, that little fox, again.

Xiao Shan's words were so artful; nobody cares.

Yi Zhonghai always talks about how he is a filial son to his grandmother when he is in the courtyard.

If Xiao Shan's words were to get out, wouldn't that be a slap in the face for him?

Moreover, once the old lady passes away, no matter who gets the inheritance except Xiaoshan, people will gossip about it.

After all, Xiao Shan has said he'll take care of the old lady until her death, so he'll definitely inherit her estate!

So Yi Zhonghai quickly tried to smooth things over: "Xiaoshan, I was just teasing you! I've already prepared the coal for the old lady, how could I really take yours?"

“Xiaoshan, your uncle is right.” The deaf old lady came out of the house at just the right time. “We were discussing this last night, and we said we would come and haul coal for me in a couple of days.”

Xiao Shan naturally knew that the deaf old lady was trying to save face for Yi Zhonghai.

However, since Yi Zhonghai had come to him of his own accord this time, he was not about to let him off so easily: "Grandma, you can't lie to me just to save face for Grandpa!"

“If I don’t see any coal next week, I’ll bring you mine and light your stove. We live in a civilized courtyard; we can’t let elderly people living alone go hungry and cold.”

Xiao Shan spoke with an air of righteous indignation, clearly putting on an act of doing what was best for the old lady.

Yi Zhonghai was speechless.

Shouldn't I be the one saying this?

The deaf old lady naturally sided with Yi Zhonghai: "Xiaoshan, would your uncle lie to me? Don't worry!"

Seeing this, Xiao Shan naturally didn't say anything.

After all, if we continue talking about it, it would seem like we're deliberately targeting Yi Zhonghai!

December arrived quickly, and the first snow of the year fell in Beijing.

The heavy snow fell for several days, turning the entire city of Beijing into a white wonderland.

The fire in the furnace was burning fiercely, and the smoke it produced was vented outside through the chimney.

Xiao Shan opened his eyes sleepily, and outside the window was a vast expanse of white.

As soon as he opened the door, snow mixed with the cold wind blew into the room, making Xiao Shan shiver.

Xiao Shan, dressed in thick cotton-padded clothes, walked around the yard, his clothes creaking as he went.

After taking a few breaths of the cold air, Xiao Shan's mind instantly cleared.

At this moment, Liu Guangtian walked in from home. After seeing Xiao Shan, he smiled and said, "Xiao Shan, get up! I was just about to call you! My dad asked me to tell everyone to take advantage of the weekend to shovel the snow. I'll go call Xu Damao."

Soon everyone in the backyard had gathered, and they began shoveling snow.

In the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the courtyard and began calling people from house to house to come out and shovel snow.

"Zhu Zi, wake up and come out to shovel snow. After you're done, help clean the old lady's roof."

He Yuzhu had already finished washing up and tidying up, and the room no longer felt messy.

He Yuzhu, who was carefully grooming himself in front of the mirror, called out to the outside after hearing Yi Zhonghai's words: "Uncle, I have something to do today. I'll clean the house for the old lady when I get back."

"What could possibly be wrong so early in the morning? Alright, come back soon."

He Yuzhu smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll be back before noon."

After locking the door, He Yuzhu hummed a little tune as he left the yard.

Since getting a partner, He Yuzhu's IQ has skyrocketed, and he's become more discreet about many things.

The courtyard house was bustling with activity, and Xiao Shan even used a ladder to clean his own roof.

The children built a snowman out of the piled-up snow, and the cold yard was filled with laughter.

Yi Zhonghai watched with a smile.

Xiao Shan walked up to Yi Zhonghai and said, "An old man is watching the children build a snowman!"

"After I get married, I'll have at least three or five kids. I'll let them run around in the yard like this, it'll be so much fun to watch."

Yi Zhonghai's smile vanished instantly: "Xiaoshan, you'd better work hard and earn more money to support your child! See? I'm going back now."

Yi Zhonghai's biggest worry is not having children, and Xiao Shan's words were like jabbing salt into his wounds.

Chapter 48, He Yuzhu is getting married! (Please add to your favorites, give flowers, and leave a review!)

Watching Yi Zhonghai leave, Xiao Shan's lips curled up slightly.

Xiao Shan went back inside to retrieve the books he had borrowed from the library. He planned to return the books and then borrow a few more similar books to read.

In the past few days, Xiaoshan has finished reading these basic books related to welding.

Relying on this theoretical knowledge and his excellent skills, Xiao Shan has successfully passed the upgrade exam and become a proud Level 3 welder.

My salary also increased from 38.6 yuan to 45.1 yuan.

When Xiao Shan returned from the library after borrowing a few more books, he ran into He Yuzhu and Li Caijuan at the gate of the courtyard. "Xiao Shan, your sister-in-law and I got our marriage certificate today. Here, have some wedding candy." He Yuzhu grabbed a few pieces of wedding candy and stuffed them into Xiao Shan's hand.

Xiao Shan put away the wedding candies and gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up: "Brother Zhu, this move was brilliant! This way, even if some people want to cause trouble or scheme, they won't have a chance."

"Caijuan told me, thank you for putting in a good word for me!" He Yuzhu said to Xiao Shan in a low voice, "That bastard Xu Damao, I won't let him get away with it. But I promised Caijuan I wouldn't cause him any trouble for now."

Hearing the noise at the door, Yan Bugui came out.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu and Li Caijuan, Yan Bugui's eyes were filled with surprise: "Zhuzi, what's going on?"

Yan Bugui had met Li Caijuan before.

Later, when Yan Bugui didn't see Li Caijuan come to the courtyard, he thought that He Yuzhu and she hadn't reached an agreement!

It doesn't look like that at all now!

"Uncle, Caijuan and I got our marriage certificate today! Here's some wedding candy, share it with the kids." He Yuzhu grabbed a handful of wedding candy and put it in Yan Bugui's hand.

Then he said to Li Caijuan, "Caijuan, this is the third uncle in the courtyard. Third uncle, this is my wife, Li Caijuan."

"Hello, Uncle!" Li Caijuan greeted Yan Bugui very politely.

At this moment, Yan Bugui was still in a daze and only nodded subconsciously.

Yan Bugui only came to his senses when He Yuzhu led Li Caijuan into the courtyard.

After regaining his senses, Yan Bugui shouted into the house, "This is terrible!"

Seeing Yan Bugui's as if he had seen a ghost, Xiao Shan found it amusing.

Just after Xiao Shan entered the courtyard, the third aunt came out of the house.

Several children followed behind the three women, looking at Yan Bugui with some curiosity.

Yan Bugui said to the three aunts and several children, "Do you know what I just saw? He Yuzhu got married!" "He brought his wife to our compound. She's Li Caijuan, the one he went on a blind date with for the first time. Director Wang introduced her to him."

Yan Jiecheng said with some surprise, "He Yuzhu is hiding himself quite well! Is he afraid that the people in the courtyard will cause trouble for him, or what?"

The third aunt pursed her lips: "There must be someone in our compound who doesn't want He Yuzhu to get married! It's a pity that all their scheming has come to nothing."

"He Yuzhu kept it a secret until his wedding before bringing his wife to the courtyard. Someone must have been behind this!"

"Mom, who do you think is giving He Yuzhu advice?" Yan Jiecheng asked the third aunt with some curiosity.

"Who else could it be? Director Wang! This girl was brought by Director Wang!" the third aunt said without hesitation. "Old Yi's tricks might fool He Yuzhu, but they won't work on Director Wang."

Yan Bugui nodded in deep agreement: "Your mother is right. Old Yi is good with words! He wants to get something for nothing. He can only fool He Yuzhu with this. Even Xiaoshan in our courtyard can see through it."

After saying that, Yan Bugui walked out of his house and headed towards the central courtyard, wanting to follow behind and see what the commotion was about.

He Yuzhu led Li Caijuan into the Intermediate People's Court and went straight to an old man's house to knock on the door.

Hearing the knock, an older woman came out: "Zhu Zi, what's the matter?"

"Auntie, I'm married. This is my wife, Li Caijuan." He Yuzhu introduced the two to each other. "Caijuan, this is an auntie and an old man's wife in our neighborhood."

"Please have some wedding candy, ma'am." With that, He Yuzhu grabbed a handful of wedding candy and handed it to the older woman.

The older woman was stunned. She hadn't seen He Yuzhu bring his girlfriend back, so how could he be married?

However, looking at the wedding candy in her hand, the older woman still offered her blessings: "Zhu Zi, congratulations on your marriage!"

At that moment, Yi Zhonghai, who was chatting with Jia Dongxu at the Jia family home, heard a commotion in the courtyard and quickly came out.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai immediately saw He Yuzhu standing at his door with a woman, chatting and laughing with his wife.

A bad feeling instantly welled up in Yi Zhonghai's heart.

Walking briskly back to his front door, Yi Zhonghai said to He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, you're back! What's this?"

"Uncle, this is my wife, Li Caijuan. She's the one Director Wang introduced to us! We just got our marriage certificate!" He Yuzhu said happily to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai felt a tightness in his chest, but he still had to force a smile: "It's good to get married! I was always worried about your marriage and was thinking of introducing you to someone! Now that I see you're married, I can finally relax."

Seeing this scene, Yan Bugui, who had come to watch the commotion, couldn't help but find it amusing.

Just then, someone in the courtyard asked, "Zhu Zi, you're getting married, when are you planning to hold the banquet? You should invite all the men in the courtyard, young and old, to a meal!"

He Yuzhu chuckled: "The country now prohibits extravagance and waste and advocates thrift and frugality. Our institute's lavish feasting and drinking will damage our reputation. So I think we should skip the banquet!"

He Yuzhu spoke with righteous indignation, and the neighbors in the courtyard who were watching the excitement and wanted to join in the fun couldn't say anything.

At this moment, all the children in the yard ran over and surrounded He Yuzhu and Li Caijuan, asking for wedding candy.

The two of them weren't stingy; they grabbed a handful from every child who came over.

In the backyard, Xu Damao was about to have a drink to warm himself up when he heard the children in the yard shouting that He Yuzhu was getting married.

Xu Damao forgot all about drinking and hurried out the door, heading towards the central courtyard.

Xu Damao immediately spotted He Yuzhu and Li Caijuan, who were surrounded by children.

Looking at Li Caijuan in disbelief, Xu Damao thought that since he had spoken ill of He Yuzhu, their relationship should be over!

To my surprise, after not seeing them for a while, they had gotten married.

Remembering how he had tripped up He Yuzhu, Xu Damao felt a little guilty and quickly withdrew.

"Zhu Zi, congratulations!" At this moment, Jia Dongxu and his family also came out.

"Brother Jia, have some candy." He Yuzhu grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to Jia Dongxu, while introducing his wife, Li Caijuan.

Then He Yuzhu said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, I'm inviting three uncles to dinner tonight, you have to come!"

"And Brother Jia, you have to come too, let's have some fun tonight!" At the same time, she didn't forget Jia Dongxu and Yan Bugui, "Third Uncle, don't forget about us then."

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's invitation, Jia Dongxu laughed and said, "Of course I have to come! It's your wedding, Zhuzi, as your older brother, I can't possibly miss it!"

Chapter 49, Xiaoshan, wanna eavesdrop? (Please favorite, give flowers, and leave a review!)

Yan Bugui was initially disappointed to hear that He Yuzhu wasn't hosting a banquet, as he wouldn't be able to join in.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn, and He Yuzhu actually invited him to dinner.

Yan Bugui immediately said happily, "Zhu Zi, don't worry, I will definitely come!"
