Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

"Brother Xu, I think what your father said is correct. What do you think, sister-in-law?" Li Kangri asked Lou Xiao'e.

"Well..." Lou Xiao'e hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I think Damao is too narrow-minded. Yi Ye is not that kind of person."

"Haha, sister-in-law, you still don't understand after I've said all this. You are really nothing. Well, you won't believe it even if I analyze it further. Anyway, I think Yi Zhonghai is the villain. As for whether he is the villain or not, we just have to wait and see." Li Kangri ended the topic.

"Brother, let's wait and see. You should also go to bed early. By the way, will you go to work tomorrow?" Xu Damao asked.

"As for me, I won't go for now. I'll go after I arrange Qing He's work. It will probably take another week!"

"Okay, your sister-in-law and I will go back first."

After Xu Damao and his wife left, Li Kangri and his sister cleaned up the house and returned to their room. After locking the door, Li Kangri disappeared in an instant. He went to the Shanhe Shejitu to refine medicine.

……

The next day, Li Kangri got up when the sun was shining brightly. When he came out, he saw Qinghe had already started cleaning the yard.

"My dear sister, don't you know to sleep a little longer? Why are you so diligent?" Li Kangri said speechlessly.

"I'm used to it." Li Qinghe said as she swept the floor. "By the way, brother, we have a cellar in the yard. I was thinking, since winter is almost here, should we buy some potatoes and cabbages and put them in there? That way, we don't have to worry about vegetables in the winter."

"Oh, my sister is such a housewife. Okay, let's go buy it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow after we arrange your work." Li Kangri said helplessly.

……

At noon, after a quick lunch with Qinghe, Li Kangri said, "Qinghe, you stay home and wait for the furniture to arrive. I'll go out and buy some food for dinner, okay?"

"Why not, brother? Just go ahead!"

So Li Kangri left the yard and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Kangri bought a pair of leather shoes for himself and his sister respectively, and then bought a set of Dacron clothes for his sister, and then went home.

On his way back, Li Kangri found a deserted place and took out a fish and a pheasant from the map of mountains, rivers, and the country.

When Li Kangri returned to the hospital, it happened to be three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, no one in the yard who was supposed to go to work or school was there, and there was no one in the yard, so he did not encounter the legendary highway robbery.

When they got home, Qing He said, "Brother, why did you come back just now? The furniture has been delivered. I saw that they have arranged everything for me. Can you take a look?"

"Haha, my sister is the head of the family now, and you have the final say. I bought you a set of clothes, and there are pheasants and fish in this bag. They are for our dinner, so please prepare them." Li Kangri said.

Hearing what Li Kangri said, Qinghe immediately took the bag and checked it. "Brother, why are you spending money indiscriminately again? We have been eating well recently and our stomach is full of fat and water. We can't waste it anymore." Qinghe blamed.

"Don't worry, I have money. This is for you to practice your skills. It's not worth much. You can take care of it! I'll sleep for a while. I'm a little tired from walking."

"Okay! Who told you to be my brother?" Qinghe said helplessly, then took the things and went to the kitchen.

Having spent the entire night refining medicine, Li Kangri was indeed tired. He slept until six in the afternoon. When he woke up, the room was already filled with fragrance. "Fuck, Qinghe has made another big plate of pheasant," Li Kangri said to himself.

When he went out, Li Kangri heard some noise in the next room, so he walked in, and saw Qinghe and Lou Xiaoe cleaning the table.

"Brother, you're up! I think it's not good to eat in your room all the time. How about we use this place as the dining room temporarily?" Qinghe said.

"You have the final say. Your sister-in-law is here too! Why don't you go and call Brother Xu to have dinner together tonight?" Li Kangri invited.

"Haha, I thought so too. How about our two families work together in the future! Each family prepares for one day, and we take turns. By the way, I can also learn cooking from Qinghe." Lou Xiao'e suggested.

"That's great, what do you think, brother? Don't worry, I will never take advantage of your family." At this time Xu Damao came in with a sly look.

"Brother Xu, are you off work? That's no problem. Why should our family bother about those things?" Li Kangri said politely.

"Hehe, good. We can eat delicious meals from now on. Otherwise, I will drool just by smelling the food from Shazhu's house." Xu Damao said happily.

So the four of them sat down and started eating.

After a while, a timid voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, "Is anyone there?"

"Yes, who is it? What's the matter?" Li Kangri replied loudly.

"Oh, I'm the third uncle's son, Yan Jiecheng. Can I come in?" Yan Jiecheng shouted at the door.

In fact, he could have told the matter right at the door, but when he smelled the fragrance inside, his ancestral calculating nature came out, and he wondered if he could get something to eat by going in.

"Come in!"

"Hey, Brother Damao, you're here too!" Yan Jiecheng came in and said to Xu Damao.

"It's Jie Cheng. What's the matter?" Xu Damao asked.

"Well, let me inform you that there will be a general meeting of the whole courtyard tonight. Please gather in the middle courtyard after dinner!"

As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng's eyes swept across the table, then looked at the people around him, and he saw Li Qinghe, "So beautiful? Who is she? This kid's wife?" he thought to himself.

"Hey, what are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyeballs out. Is it your place to look at my sister?" Li Kangri said dissatisfiedly.

"Ah! Haha, sorry, I have a meeting later." Yan Jiecheng said after reluctantly looking away.

"I understand. You can go now." Li Kangri said in a bad tone.

"Okay, okay, remember to hurry up!" Yan Jiecheng said as he reluctantly left the Li family.

"Hehe, the boss of the Yan family is staring at my sister Qinghe with his eyes wide open, but he doesn't even look at his own character. My sister is just a temporary worker, how could he care about her?" Xu Damao said contemptuously.

"Oh? Is this the son of Teacher Yan at the door? Is he not married yet?" Li Kangri asked.

"What kind of marriage is that? He's just a temporary worker and his family is so stingy. Who would want to marry him?" Xu Damao said contemptuously.

"Is that so? By the way, why do we have to hold another meeting of the whole hospital? You wanted to blackmail me for my house before, and you are not going to blackmail me for my house again today?" Li Kangri said hypocritically.

"Yes, why do we have to hold another meeting of the whole school? These three old guys are really idle all day long." Xu Damao said angrily.

"Haha, I understand. He is idle at all. According to the words predicted last night, it is likely that the villain will stand up for the pregnant woman." Li Kangri deliberately guided the discussion. In fact, he knew everything in his mind. This was probably the first battle for the rise of the Jia family!
