Chapter 4 Daily Trivia
Li Shengli didn't have time to waste with the third uncle. It was getting late, so Li Shengli said hello to the third uncle and went home.

This is exactly what Li Shengli wanted, and he often brought an empty lunch box home. After the third uncle looked at it like this, who would know if there was anything in the lunch box he brought back.

Li Shengli's house is opposite his third uncle Yan Bugui's house. It is the east wing of the front yard. It is more than 50 square meters in size and was divided into two rooms by Li Shengli.

I live alone, and this is considered a relatively large house in the compound. As for the living conditions, only Sha Zhu has better conditions than Li Shengli in the compound.

He took out the key, opened the padlock, pushed open the door, and hung the padlock behind the door. Ever since Lee Seung-ri came here, he has developed the habit of locking the door. Putting down the lunch box in his hand, Lee Seung-ri picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of boiled water, and drank it down with one gulp.

I was alone, so I had dinner in the factory cafeteria. I rarely cooked in the factory, except on weekends when I wanted to improve my life. I looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so I decided to wash some clothes while the weather was good. I was busy all day.

As a cook, you will be covered in the smell of oil smoke after cooking, and the sweat you sweat also makes you smell bad.

Dirty clothes need to be washed frequently. They can’t be left there like piles, as they have such a strong smell.

There is a widow behind Shazhu who helps him wash his clothes. I can't let the widow help me wash my clothes. Will I find a wife in the future?

Li Shengli changed his clothes first, then he took a basin and filled it with water. He used the warm water to soak the clothes first. After that, he took the soap and applied it to the collar, cuffs and other easily dirty places, and rubbed them vigorously.

There was only a sink in the middle courtyard of the quadrangle. Li Shengli went to the middle courtyard with a basin. He just washed the clothes briefly and they were done. The smell was mainly from sweat and oil smoke, but not dirty.

There was a pregnant young woman in her thirties washing clothes by the pond in the middle courtyard. This was Qin Huairu, the wife of Jia Dongxu from the middle courtyard.

Qin Huairu is pretty and has a pair of big watery eyes. She has two dimples when she smiles, and her figure is just right. She is the most beautiful girl in the courtyard. Li Shengli noticed that someone in the courtyard is keeping an eye on her.

Jia Dongxu's family now has two children. Banggeng is a boy. He is very naughty all day long, so naturally there are a lot of dirty clothes. Qin Huairu washes clothes every two or three days.

Li Shengli came to the sink, turned on the faucet and prepared to start throwing in the clothes.

"Shengli, come and wash clothes." Qin Huairu looked up when she saw there was another person next to her.

Seeing that it was Li Shengli coming over with a basin, Qin Huairu greeted him from the side.

"Yeah, the clothes all smell like oil smoke." Li Shengli nodded at Qin Huairu and explained lightly without intending to say anything.

Qin Huairu was not surprised, as Li Shengli had always been like this in the hospital.

Li Shengli was learning skills outside and was not very familiar with the people in the factory. After Li Shengli's father got into trouble, the people in the factory did not help much and dealt with the funeral hastily. Then Li Shengli took over the factory.

After the funeral, Li Shengli from the future traveled through time and knew who were the people in the courtyard. Except for saying hello to three uncles, Li Shengli basically ignored everyone else.

Li Shengli didn't pay much attention to Qin Huairu. He lived in the front yard and had nothing to do with the Jia family in the middle yard.

Besides, Qin Huairu is a married woman, and it is not appropriate for a young man like me to get close to her. There are many gossipy women in this courtyard.

Besides, even though I didn't remember the plot on TV completely, I still had some understanding of the personalities of the people in this hospital.

There are few good people in this hospital, so it’s better not to make close friends with them.

There weren't many clothes to wash, so Li Shengli endured the cold and rinsed them twice under the water to wash away the soap bubbles.

I carried the basin back to the house. It was so cold that my hands were almost frozen.

Li Shengli shook his hands and spread out the clothes by the stove. After washing the clothes, there was nothing to do, so Li Shengli read a book for a while. After a while, he felt sleepy. Although he was short of food and clothing, his sleep quality was quite good. Lying on the bed, Li Shengli couldn't help but think of his wife. It was still a bit lonely to live alone.

Time passed by bit by bit, and a week passed. This week it was Li Shengli's turn to work the early shift. After making lunch, Li Shengli packed up and went home. When he got home, before it was completely dark, Li Shengli prepared to go out to the alley to watch the old man play chess.

The other people and children in the yard basically played in the middle yard because it was the most spacious and there were not many children in the yard.

Most of the middle-aged women in the yard had nothing to do, so they made an appointment to sit at someone's house and chat while sewing shoe soles.

When Li Shengli went out, there were still many people playing chess in the alley. The old man was not afraid of the cold and came to a chess stand. Two old men were playing chess and there was a group of people around them, most of them were idle and had nothing to do.

Li Shengli also squeezed over
"Hey, watch me jump, General."

"Look, I'm going to cut off your horse's legs."

"Hey, I'm going to drive out, watch me eat your gun."

"Old Chen, set up the cannon." The people watching the fun nearby couldn't help themselves.

"Go away, go away. Don't you know that a true gentleman watches a game of chess without speaking?" The person opposite Old Chen couldn't help it.

"Hey, Old Wang, look at what you said." The onlooker said embarrassedly.

"I'll set up the cannon, General." Old Chen obviously absorbed the opinions of the onlookers.

"Don't give me any hints next time." Old Wang said with a gloomy face.

"No more talking, no more talking." The onlookers waved their hands and said.

"Stop talking and hurry up." Old Chen urged.

Li Shengli was also amused.

"I have the checkmate. Hey, it's a dead piece." After a while, Old Wang made another brilliant move and directly killed his opponent.

"Old Chen, this is a dead end." Old Wang boasted to Old Chen proudly.

"You won. Come on, let's play another round." Old Chen had a gloomy face and was ready to set up the board and start a new round.

"Hey, wait a minute." Those who were watching the fun couldn't help themselves.

"Old Chen, it's time to change people. You can't beat Old Wang."

"That's right, Old Chen. It's time for us to take a turn." The old men nearby all joined in the fun.

"Okay, okay, you come." Old Chen made way for the old man who had just called out. He immediately sat over and yelled while setting up the chess pieces.

"Old Chen, let me show you what it means to be invincible in the whole park."

These old men are all from the nearby compounds. When they have nothing to do, they like to set up a stall at the entrance of the alley to play chess and chat.

It was getting dark, and several old men packed up and prepared to go home. Li Shengli stretched and prepared to go home too.
