Chapter 41 Xu Damao gets married

When Li Shengli went to the backyard, he saw Xu Damao wearing a brand new white shirt, his leather shoes were polished to a shine, and he looked very respectable.

"Shazhu, you didn't expect that grandpa got married before you." At this time, Xu Damao was surrounded by a group of people that Li Shengli didn't know and was mocking Shazhu madly.

"Hey, Xu Damao, you deserve a beating." Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves. Xu Damao was asking for trouble.

"You idiot Zhu, how dare you attack me? Don't you see there are so many people on my side?" Xu Damao shouted while hiding behind someone.

Li Shengli couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Whenever Xu Damao said this in front of others, he would look up to him.

"Okay, Xu Damao, today is your wedding day, don't make yourself unhappy." An old man named Yi Zhonghai said from the side. Could Xu Damao be more careful? Why did he provoke Sha Zhu on his wedding day?

"Silly Zhu, just go and be envious." Xu Damao said proudly. Qin Huairu was not bad looking, but Lou Xiao'e was not much worse. What's more, Lou Xiao'e's family background was not comparable to Qin Huairu's. Whose daughter-in-law in this courtyard was better than his?

"Yeah, Shazhu, Xu Damao is married, when are you going to find someone else?" Someone in the audience laughed. It will be difficult for Shazhu to find a wife since he is involved with a widow.

"Hey, I think you guys deserve to be punished." Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves and looked around in shame and anger, trying to see who stabbed his heart.

"Okay, stop talking. Xu Damao, hurry up." Yi Zhonghai stopped everyone from fighting. It would be fine at other times, but now that they were going to pick up the bride, they should not cause any trouble.

"Zhu Zi, you should also say less." Sha Zhu had no intention of doing anything. After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, he walked down the stairs.

Xu Damao was so proud as if he had won a battle, and left the courtyard surrounded by his relatives.

Li Shengli smiled, went home, picked up his fishing equipment and went out. There was nothing interesting about Xu Damao's wedding reception. As for the new bride, Li Shengli knew who she was because he had seen her in the factory.

Half an hour after Li Shengli left, with the sound of horns outside, several cars stopped one by one at the gate of the courtyard. With the sound of firecrackers, Xu Damao walked in with small steps carrying a bride in a wedding dress on his back.

"Xu Damao, you don't have enough physical strength." Sha Zhu did not go out and waited in the courtyard for Xu Damao to make a fool of himself.

Xu Damao ignored Sha Zhu. Under normal circumstances, Xu Damao would have started an argument with Sha Zhu. But now, Xu Damao didn't have the time to do so.

Seeing that Xu Damao ignored him, Sha Zhu closed his mouth in disappointment. Looking at the way Xu Damao carried his wife on his back, Sha Zhu couldn't help but show an envious expression. Xu Damao, who was younger than him, was already married. Shouldn't he also consider his own major life events?

Xu Damao carried Lou Xiao'e to his new house. At this time, Xu's father and mother were already waiting inside, and the people in the yard also gathered in the backyard to watch the fun.

The long wedding reception process passed quickly. Xu Damao and his family took Lou Xiao'e to the hotel where the wedding banquet was held, leaving only the people in the yard talking about it.

When Li Shengli came back with a small bucket of fish in one hand and a fishing rod on the other shoulder, he saw people in the yard gathered together, discussing something.

"Hey, Shengli, you didn't see how much dowry Lou Xiao'e had." Ma Jianshe, a second-level fitter who lived in the back house in the front yard, spit at Li Shengli with an envious expression on his face.

"Don't think too much. If you have that much time, you might as well work harder. Once your level of fitter skills improves, won't it be easy to find a wife?" Li Shengli said with a shrug.

"That's right." Ma Jianshe nodded when he heard it.

"You continue to be sour, I'm going back to cook."

After saying goodbye to Ma Jianshe, Li Shengli went back to his room to stew the fish. Smelling the aroma coming from Li Shengli's house, the gossiping uncles and aunts also touched their stomachs.

"Let's go, let's go. Li Shengli's family is eating fish again." Yan Bugui smelled the smell and felt a little annoyed. Can't he go fishing to supplement the family income instead of gossiping? Anyway, Xu Damao was not going to host a banquet for the people in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also left, and their wives went home to cook.

After dinner, Li Shengli sat on a recliner under the eaves outside the door, humming a tune and reading a book for a while. As he read, he felt bored, put the book down and took a nap in the autumn breeze.

After a short nap, Li Shengli was about to go out to find something to do to pass his free time.

After a while, Xu Damao came over with Lou Xiao'e and the bag.

"Oh, Shengli is here, just in time." Xu Damao happily took Lou Xiao'e's hand with one hand and took out a small bag from the bag, "Come, have a taste of E's and my wedding candy."

Li Shengli stood up, took the wedding candy from Xu Damao and said thank you.

"What is this?" Lou Xiao'e asked Xu Damao shyly as she looked at Li Shengli, who had a tall and handsome figure.

"This is Li Shengli from our hospital. He's a cook and also works in our steel rolling mill." Xu Damao only then remembered to introduce the two to each other.

"Shengli, this is my wife Lou Xiao'e."

"Hello." Li Shengli smiled and nodded to Lou Xiao'e, then said to the two of them, "Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, I wish you a happy wedding."

"Okay, let's go, Ezi." Xu Damao just came to say hello. If he didn't invite everyone to the wedding banquet, he would at least give out the wedding candies. The Lou family couldn't afford to lose this person.

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao said goodbye to Li Shengli and took the bag to deliver wedding candies to each household. Everyone took the candies regardless of their relationship. Only the Jia family caused a small problem. Jia Zhang asked for an extra portion on the grounds that her three children were still young.

This made Xu Damao very angry, but Lou Xiao'e came from a wealthy family after all, so although she was a little angry, she didn't take it to heart.

At night, when Li Shengli was about to go to bed, he was startled by the sneaky noise outside. Could it be that a thief broke into the yard? Why didn't the old man make any noise? Li Shengli was still a little puzzled.

After opening the door and looking outside, there seemed to be no thief in the yard. Instead, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang from the opposite door and Ma Jianshe from the front yard were gathered together, discussing something furtively.

Li Shengli was about to ask when Yan Jiecheng quickly gestured to Li Shengli to be quiet. Li Shengli was a little curious about what these people were going to do, so he walked over quietly.

"Shengli, do you want to go to the backyard?" Ma Jianshe asked in a low voice, with a lewd expression on his face that made people feel uncomfortable.

"What are you doing in the backyard?" Li Shengli asked curiously.

"Shh, keep your voice down." When Yan Jiecheng heard Li Shengli's loud voice, he gestured anxiously and looked around guiltily.

"Go to the backyard..." Ma Jianshe raised his eyebrows and gestured obscenely.
