Chapter 8: First Master

Li Xuewu saw his younger sister surprised by his eating style and made a face at Li Xue.

Li Xue saw her second brother's teasing, smiled at the corner of her mouth, lowered her head, and continued to calculate the problem.

Liu Yin just picked up the shoe upper in her hand and saw Li Xuewu eating fast, so she hurriedly went to pour a cup of water.

"Why eat so fast? Be careful of choking."

"Mom, I'm used to it. There was a time limit for eating before. I'm used to it and can't change it."

"Chew slowly when eating, be careful of stomach problems. You're home now, change it slowly. Besides, this eating style is not good. If you go to your father-in-law's house one day, don't scare them."

Hearing Liu Yin's teasing, Li Xuewu didn't say anything, but Li Xue couldn't help but "chi" and laughed.

Zhao Yafang also couldn't help but laugh.

Li Xuewu listened to Liu Yin talking, and had already finished three steamed buns and a bowl of porridge. He picked up the bowl and stood up to wash it by the water basin. After wiping his hands, he saw Big Grandpa stand up and walk out, so he hurriedly asked: "Big Grandpa, what are you going to do?"

Big Grandpa tightened his cotton-padded jacket and said: "Feed the horse."

Li Xuewu went back to the room, put on his military coat, and followed him out.

Between Li's house and the wall of the second door, there was a shed, and a tall green horse was nodding and shaking the rope.

The Li family also had a horse cart parked outside the wall of the inverted seat room, and the cart shed was covered with felt cloth.

Grandpa pointed to the grass stack by the wall and asked Li Xuewu to cut a basket with a chopper, and then cut a piece from a bean cake blank and soaked it in hot water to mix it in the grass. Big Grandpa also sprinkled some coarse salt.

After Li Xuewu poured a basket of grass into the feeding trough, the big horse lowered its head and ate.

Big Grandpa saw Li Xuewu looking at it with interest and told him to watch the horse finish eating, take the feeding trough away, and then drink two buckets of water.

Big Grandpa turned around and went back to the room.

Li Xuewu touched the top of the green horse's head. The horse was impatient and shook off Li Xuewu. Li Xuewu didn't care and continued to harass it until the horse no longer shook off his hand.

Li Xuewu's predecessor knew how to ride a horse and had also grazed horses. When he was a child, he spent his summer and winter vacations at Big Grandpa's house and helped graze horses.

He also liked this horse. Looking at its large frame and tall stature, it was definitely a good horse. It's a pity that in this era, it could only be used as a draft horse.

Li Xuewu was teasing the horse when a fat man in a blue cotton-padded jacket walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, swaying step by step, with a bullish style.

"Second Master, you're off work."

Meeting face to face, Li Xuewu greeted habitually, and a large group of new memories surged into his mind, making him frown.

Second Master nodded at Li Xuewu. It was dark, so he probably didn't recognize who was greeting him, but his footsteps didn't stop, and he passed through a moon gate and went to the back courtyard of the courtyard house.

This courtyard house had the largest middle courtyard and the most residents, which was obviously more lively.

People were boiling water, cooking, adults shouting, children making noise, a mess.

And Li's family's front courtyard only lived with their family and Third Master's family. Yan Jiecheng and his wife lived in the door hall side room of the third door, and the other side room lived with two households, one facing the door hall and one facing the middle courtyard, probably for the convenience of taking water.

Li Xuewu carried the white iron bucket and walked to the middle courtyard, preparing to fetch water to drink for the horse. He frowned and digested the new memories about the neighbors in the courtyard, when he suddenly saw a pretty figure.

"Sword Comes"

Wearing a blue floral small jacket, the cuffs were rolled up high, revealing two white lotus-like forearms "swish-swish" scrubbing clothes.

"Damn, isn't this Qin Guafu?"

Looking at Qin Huairu scrubbing clothes with all her might in the winter, her beauty was indeed striking, and her figure had substance; no wonder Seeing Sha Zhu later volunteered to donate blood for her.

Just at this time, seemingly aware of Li Xuewu's gaze, Qin Huairu looked up.

It had to be admitted that putting aside character, this pretty widow was really beautiful!

She didn't apply any powder, but she completely exploded those internet celebrities in the future, and her figure was also quite substantial, especially those peach blossom eyes.

In the large basin in front of her, because hot water was added, a piece of white steam rose. In the mist, she looked around, which was truly full of amorous feelings.

"You are Xuewu, right? You're much stronger than a few years ago."

Damn, what does it mean for the pretty widow to praise me for being strong?

Qin Huairu smiled, stopped the work in her hands, and said enthusiastically: "I heard in the courtyard when I came back from work in the evening that you were assigned to the Rolling Mill. We will be colleagues in the future. If you need any help, tell Qin Jie, don't be polite."

"Thank you, Qin Jie."

Li Xuewu twitched his mouth, perfunctorily hurried two steps to the water faucet and opened the gate to release tap water.

(I have to explain, the reader's thinking is very divergent now)

Being a newcomer, he didn't want to confront this high-level green tea like Qin Guafu immediately. Wait! Wait until he had cultivated successfully in a period of time, then he would come to subdue demons and eliminate monsters.

Li Xuewu didn't dare to provoke Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu didn't let Li Xuewu go.

"Are you assigned to the factory security department? How good is the work? It's easy and not tiring. What position is set?"

Good grief! She's checking up on me! Is she going to check my salary next? Have I been cast as Seeing Sha Zhu 2.0?

Li Xuewu saw the water was full, hurriedly tightened the gate, carried the bucket, and walked back, saying in his mouth: "I don't know yet."

"This kid, what are you busy with?"

Looking at Li Xuewu's back, Qin Huairu glared, and her eyes turned again, not knowing what she thought of, and smiled sweetly.

Li Xuewu carried the bucket into the room, lifted the pot lid, and poured it in. There was still residual fire in the stove pit, just enough to warm the water, and then scoop it out to drink for the horse later.

Li Xuewu stood by the window and looked at the lights in the courtyard, the mottled red door, the broken door lintel, and the noisy human voices in the courtyard.

Li Xuewu suddenly smiled.

Seeing Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, the three masters of the front, middle, and back courtyards, and that incorrigible Jia Zhangshi.

In this era without mobile phones and the internet, the courtyard that jumped up and down from time to time, the future life would definitely be quite wonderful.

Feeling the water temperature was almost the same, he picked up the ladle, scooped the warm water into the bucket, carried the bucket, lifted the door curtain, and went out of the room.

Just as Li Xuewu put the bucket by the horse's mouth and straightened his waist, he saw First Master walking out of the gate with his hands behind his back.

Li Xuewu turned his head and greeted him.

"Going out, First Master."

Hate Yi Zhonghai had seen this second boy of the Li family long ago. He had dealt with the police station several times because of him in the past few years. Now looking at his appearance, it had changed, and his temperament had also changed.

"Yo, Xuewu is back. If you have time, come to the house to sit. Your First Master's wife asked me to pour out the trash."

Li Xuewu saw the water bucket was empty, bent down to pick up the water bucket and walked to the room, promising: "Alright, I'll go to your place when I have time."

He didn't look at Hate Yi Zhonghai and entered the room.

First Master had just said a few words to Li Xuewu and wanted to inquire about some situations, but at this time, a half-grown boy carrying a soy sauce bottle rushed out of the courtyard, it was Yan Jiekuaung, the third son of Third Master's family.

"Yo, First Master, going out? Be careful, don't fall."

Yan Jiekuaung shouted and ran away in a flash. ===== CHAPTER 9 =====

Yan Jiekuang shouted once and then scurried away in a flash.
