Yan Bugui left in a great hurry.
Xu Damao felt that the conversation hadn't gone far enough and he hadn't gotten enough information about the female teachers, so he wiggled in his chair, unwilling to leave.
Wang Dabao didn't care; he was perfectly fine no matter where he was.
"Hey Yu Li, you two have been married for quite a while now, haven't you ever thought about having a child?!"
Seeing that Yan Jiecheng had gone out to tinker with that broken oil drum again, Xu Damao changed the subject to Yu Li and her husband, saying, "Anyway, Auntie Er is still in good health and can definitely help you take care of the child."
Yu Li picked up the thermos and refilled it with hot water for Wang Dabao and Xu Damao before sighing, "Why have a child? We two are already struggling to make ends meet, and we even need my in-laws to help us out occasionally."
"If she had a baby, she'd be starving!"
Xu Damao grinned slyly: "Let me tell you, Yu Li, your father-in-law, Old Yan, is not short of this."
As he spoke, Xu Damao rubbed his fingers together. "If you give him a grandson, he'll be so happy that he might buy you two a nice house, which would be much better than living in this cramped house in the courtyard."
Yu Li pouted: "Xu Damao, come on, do you? Do you think I don't know whether my family is rich or not? Why do you make it sound like my family used to be wealthy landlords?"
"It's pretty much the same, it's pretty much the same. Anyway, your father-in-law, Old Yan, won't be short of the money you spend on raising your child."
Xu Damao's eyes darted back and forth over Yu Li.
"What are you looking at? Is she pretty? Hurry up and find a wife so you can't just stay home looking at her all day." Feeling Xu Damao's gaze, Yu Li said this and swayed her slender waist into the inner room.
Xu Damao looked bored and lowered his voice, saying, "Dabao, look at me. I didn't do anything. We're still at their house, and they're already giving me attitude. I bet Yan Jiecheng has suffered a lot of mistreatment."
"Da Mao, you've gone too far. Your eyes are practically growing little hands. You can't stand anyone you look at."
Wang Dabao slowly sipped his tea, saying, "Yu Li is right. You should find a wife. You always compare yourself to Sha Zhu, so you should get married before him."
While they were talking, Yu Li lifted the cotton curtain and came out of the inner room again, carrying a small plate of melon seeds in her hand.
“Uncle Da Bao is right, Xu Damao, you're just so desperate for a wife that you keep glancing at other women with your thieving eyes. Look at Uncle Da Bao, he's not like that at all.”
"Yesterday I heard my father-in-law say that you still have feelings for Qin Huairu?"
At this point, Yu Li grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, sat down in the spot where Yan Bugui had been sitting, and looked at Xu Damao with a curious expression.
Xu Damao felt quite uncomfortable under Yu Li's gaze: "Yu Li, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'just me'? What did I do wrong?"
"Don't tell me I have no ideas, even if I did... Ugh, you almost got me hooked. I really don't have any ideas at all. I'm just not that kind of person. Right, Da Bao?!"
Finally, Xu Damao asked Wang Dabao, who was standing next to him, a question.
What else could Wang Dabao say but nod?
Yu Li turned her gaze to Wang Dabao and said softly, "Uncle Dabao, I've always thought you're a good person, down-to-earth in your work and conduct. But why aren't you interested in those female teachers?"
Wang Dabao was taken aback for a moment: "Hey, I just started working, and I was thinking of doing my job well first."
Yu Li smiled and nodded, "How about this, Uncle Da Bao, how about I introduce you to someone?!"
"Alright, let's not talk about me for now. Let's talk about Da Mao. Da Mao is in a hurry."
Wang Dabao immediately steered the conversation toward Xu Damao, wondering if Yu Li was referring to Yu Haitang, who was eighteen this year.
Xu Damao suddenly raised his big head: "Right, right, you can introduce me to Yu Li, Da Bao isn't in a hurry."
"Uncle Da Bao, there's no rush. You can wait a bit too."
After saying that, Yu Li got up and swayed her big buttocks as she went outside.
A short while later, Yan Bugui's voice came from outside, it seemed he had returned with Master Qian from the neighboring courtyard.
Seeing this, Wang Dabao and Xu Damao also went outside.
Master Qian was in his fifties and a bit thin. He smiled as soon as he saw the oil drum and then immediately started modifying it.
Everyone gathered around watching, but Xu Damao's mind was still on the female teacher who was supposed to arrive in the evening, and he would occasionally chuckle to himself.
Before long, Master Qian transformed the oil drum into a simple oven.
Yan Bugui borrowed a bicycle from Xu Damao, and Yan Jiecheng couldn't wait to push the bicycle off to buy sweet potatoes.
Xu Damao kept pressing Yan Bugui for details about the female teacher, his impatient manner making the people around him laugh.
Wang Dabao watched Uncle Qian's actions quietly, occasionally interjecting with a few words.
Liu Guangtian also strolled over.
The modified oven was quite novel, and I wandered around it for a while.
Then, Liu Guangtian approached Yu Li.
He asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law Yu Li, I just heard Xu Damao say that you're going to introduce a girl to Uncle Da Bao?"
Yu Li rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you asking about this, kid? Uncle Da Bao's matter is still far from settled."
"No, I don't pry." Liu Guangtian chuckled. "Sister Yu Li, actually I'm also looking for a partner. If you know anyone suitable, could you introduce me to one?"
Yu Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You, you're not even fully grown yet, what's the rush?"
"Come on, my dad was already an older brother when he was my age." Liu Guangtian glared, seemingly feeling humiliated.
"Okay, if there's a suitable one, I'll keep an eye out for you."
Yu Li happily agreed, but didn't take it to heart at all.
After receiving a reply, Liu Guangtian discussed helping with the work with Yu Li, and then left happily.
He still needs to go and check on the Jia family.
When Liu Guangtian came over from Lao Yan's house, he saw Qin Huairu washing a large pot by the pool in the middle courtyard.
"Hey Sister Qin, how did you get this big pot? My dad asked me to help you with it."
As he spoke, Liu Guangtian walked around the pool.
His eyes were fixed on Qin Huairu's protruding buttocks. He thought to himself, no wonder Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were jealous of Qin Huairu. This mother of three was quite charming. At least her body was much fuller than Yu Li's. She was very attractive.
At this moment, Qin Huairu was bending over washing the pot. Hearing Liu Guangtian's voice, she didn't even look up and said with a smile, "It's Guangtian. Please thank the old man for me?"
“I’ll move the pot over little by little. After I finish washing it, you and I can help each other carry it to my doorstep.”
"Okay, this is no problem."
After saying that, Liu Guangtian took out the cigarette that Old Liu had given him, lit it and started smoking, his eyes occasionally glancing at Qin Huairu's lower back.
