Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Chapter 252 New Year’s Eve

After what Jia Zhang had done, Zhou Zheng and the others were no longer in the mood to set off any more fireworks.

Xu Damao carried the enamel basin filled with rice and walked towards the east courtyard with Zhou Zheng.

Liu Guangfu was not in a position to follow, so he said goodbye and said, "Brother Zhou, Brother Xu, I will go back first, so that my father won't get angry again when he can't see anyone."

Xu Damao joked, "Don't worry, it's New Year's Day. Even if your father is a nobody, he can't hit you today. If he really hits you, just pretend I didn't say that."

Zhou Zheng was almost amused by Xu Damao's words and secretly gave him a thumbs up. You are worthy of being a born bad guy, Xu Damao. You really understand nonsense literature.

Liu Guangfu's face turned bitter, and he begged for mercy: "Come on, Brother Xu, please stop teasing me. If he really wants to beat me up when I go back, I will come to Brother Zhou's house to celebrate the New Year, and you have to open the door for me then."

Zhou Zheng patted Liu Guangfu on the shoulder and smiled faintly: "Okay, Guangfu, if Lao Liu really hits you, just come over. After all, your mother Li Guixiang is also spending the New Year in this yard, and you can't be short of a pair of chopsticks."

Liu Guangfu hurriedly bowed his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Brother Zhou."

When I returned to the east wing, I saw He Yuzhu stretching his head and leaning against the door frame to look out. He looked extremely funny.

Zhou Zheng laughed and scolded: "Zhu Zi, you are taking a shit! You are sneaky."

He Yuzhu hissed, then asked, "What's going on outside? Did Old Man Yan pay for it?"

Xu Damao interrupted and said, "I paid fifty yuan in compensation."

But his tone was full of contempt. This matter had nothing to do with He Yuzhu, so was he scared away?

Thinking of this, he added: "Pillar, is it that serious?"

He Yuzhu said mysteriously, "You know nothing. I've seen Jia Zhang's red shorts. Many people in the compound have seen them. I'm afraid that others will recognize them, and then there will be bloodshed."

Zhou Zheng and Xu Damao were both stunned.

"Tell me!"

He Yuzhu said slowly, "Don't tell anyone. Li Guixiang and my dad are still together. During the time when they were together, Li Guixiang always came to see my dad with an enamel basin full of laundry as an excuse. I saw this pair of red shorts one time. I couldn't be mistaken. There was a hole in the red shorts. Li Guixiang had sewed a cross on it. I saw it right away."

Zhou Zheng pulled the corner of his mouth: "Zhu Zi, there's something wrong with you!"

Xu Damao echoed, "It's indeed wrong. You said no one else noticed, so how dare you, He Yuzhu, look at Jia Zhang's place? Aren't you afraid of getting a needle pricked? Or do you want to have sex with Jia Zhang?"

He Yuzhu's old face quickly turned red, and he said angrily, "You fucking idiot, if you keep spewing shit, I'll beat you up, but is that what I want to see? You see something familiar, why don't you take a second look?"

Xu Damao shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Who knows..."

He Yuzhu was really furious now, and rushed up to beat Xu Damao up.

Xu Damao was also sharp and hid behind Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng had no choice but to hold He Yuzhu and comfort him: "Okay, Zhuzi, stop making trouble. It's New Year's Day, it's not good to hit someone. Beat him after the New Year."

He Yuzhu glared at Xu Damao with hatred and said angrily: "Humph, wait until after the New Year."

Zhou Zheng was speechless. He Yuzhu's IQ had indeed improved compared to the original work, but it was definitely not much. He would fight Xu Damao again after the New Year.

He dared to say that Xu Damao would have disappeared before the fifth day of the New Year.

"What time is it?" Zhou Zheng asked seriously.

He Yuzhu said: "When I came out of the room, I checked the time. It was 9:20. It must be 9: now."

Zhou Zheng asked again: "Have you finished making the dumplings?"

He Yuzhu replied, "I just finished wrapping them. Aunt Yu asked me to put the curtain on the snow in the backyard to freeze. I came here to wait for you after it froze."

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Zhengzi, what time do we have the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Zhou Zhengdao: "I heard my mother said it was eleven o'clock. She said there are many people this year, so we should stay up all night."

He Yuzhu sighed, "Oh, it really feels different. I remember the last time I stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year was when I was a kid. I still miss it."

Xu Damao pouted: "I can't compare with you. My family is a small family and we have never stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year. Only those wealthy families would stay up all night to celebrate the New Year."

Zhou Zheng's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Alas, Damao, why else would you be beaten up without anyone stopping you? You offended two people with just one sentence, so who else would be beaten if not you?"

Xu Damao said aggrievedly: "Master Zhou, please forgive me. It's New Year's Day and you won't let me say anything sarcastic."

He said: "But to be honest, we can't compare with the Zhuzi family. We only talk about it among our friends and don't tell others. Back then, the Zhuzi family had a grandfather, so they were considered a wealthy family."

He Yuzhu pursed his lips and said, "Just say this here, don't talk nonsense, our He family has been poor farmers for generations, and we have never produced any great men."

But he didn't argue. Zhou Zheng changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's stop talking. Let's go back to the house and see if there's anything we can do. I've said that I'm not a master, so I can't wait for food. I should do some work and make myself well-fed."

In recent years, Zhou Zheng's prestige at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang is very high, and this also includes people of Xu Damao and He Yuzhu's generation. When he said this, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao would not refute and nodded in agreement.

Return to the house.

In the living room, Tian Xinyue, He Yushui, Ran Qiuye, and Zhong Xiaolu sat together playing mahjong.

Yu Wanrong was chatting with Li Guixiang and You Liying while eating melon seeds.

Yang Xiaoman was teasing He Qizheng.

It's a happy scene.

When Zhou Zheng passed by He Qizhen, he rubbed the little guy's head, making the little guy giggle.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao followed Zhou Zheng like two loyal younger brothers.

Yang Xiaoman said, "Brother Zhou, you're back."

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, sister-in-law."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the mahjong table, then stood behind Zhong Xiaolu, putting his hands on Zhong Xiaolu's neck.

Zhong Xiaolu's pretty face immediately turned red, she turned around and said crisply, "Brother Zhou."

She took it when Zhou Zheng was delivering a gift.

No idea how it was arranged, but Zhong Xiaolu and Tan Xuedong's mother was on duty at their hospital at night, so Zhou Zheng shamelessly asked Zhong Xiaolu to come over.

She is his woman, how can he let her be on duty in the hospital during the New Year?

Tian Xinyue transformed into Lin Daiyu and said in a calculating tone, "Oh, I was wondering what was going on. It's true that she just forgot her old love because she found a new one. People say Zhou Hanqing is a sentimental person. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the women at the mahjong table burst into laughter.

Zhou Zheng withdrew his hand awkwardly and laughed awkwardly.

"Ah ha ha!"

Then he called He Yuzhu and Xu Damao and said, "Don't just stand there and watch, the three of us. Set up another table and I'll teach you something new."

Xu Damao asked, "What's new?"

Zhou Zhengdao: "Play poker. Three people can play it. It's called Dou Di Zhu. It's fun. I'll teach you."

He Yuzhu grinned: "Oh, this name is very meaningful."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go over there."
