Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 88 Is This a Fairy?
"Yu Shui, what did you put on this steamed bun? Why does it taste sour and sweet, very refreshing and delicious!" Li Xiangdong sat at the table, tearing a piece of steamed bun that looked like a pancake in his hand, watching He Yu Shui squatting beside the stove and scalding the white steamed bun with an iron pan.

"It's hawthorn sauce!" He Yushui smiled proudly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with excitement and pride. "I didn't have much delicious food before, so I liked to eat some sour hawthorns. Later, I saved some money and bought a few pounds of hawthorns. I mashed them into sauce and put it in a jar. When I steamed buns, I spread a little on it. I don't even need to cook any vegetables. I can eat several hawthorns. It saves money and fills my stomach!"

"But this hawthorn is not cheap!" Li Xiangdong curled his lips.

He Yushui shook his head. "Compared to buying vegetables and meat, the cost of hawthorns is far less than those! It's only 20 cents per pound. Meat is so expensive, and now it's one dollar! I know a master who makes candied haws. I don't buy the best hawthorns, but some of his unused scraps, which are only 10 cents per pound. It's a good deal!"

Li Xiangdong sighed and shook his head, "You're living such a tight life, why don't you ask your brother for help? He's your brother after all!"

"Forget it!" He Yushui's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "My father didn't care about me much when I was a child. Later, he passed away. I thought my brother would take care of me. Maybe it's inherited from the family. My brother is always thinking about the outside world. Maybe it's because I'm a girl and I think I will get married eventually, so they don't like me very much..."

His heart was moved slightly, and he felt a little pity for He Yushui's lonely experience over the years. He raised his eyes and smiled, and suggested: "You should continue to find a job, so that you can support yourself. If you are not busy, you can help me with some housework, and I will give you 5 yuan a month as a reward!"

"How can that be possible!" He Yushui stood up immediately, shaking his head like a rattle, and said anxiously: "You treated me to steamed buns and dumplings. When has my brother ever cared about me so much? You have been good enough to me. It is only natural for me to help you clean the house. We...neighbors should help each other, right? If I ask for money, I will be ignorant!"

As she spoke, her face suddenly turned red, and she looked at Li Xiangdong with embarrassment and trepidation, as if she was afraid that he would be angry and take back his decision.

Li Xiangdong smiled and nodded, but did not try to persuade him any further.

"East, east!"

At this moment, a rapid ring rang in the front yard with a strong voice, and then quickly approached the door.

Li Xiangdong was surprised to hear the name sound familiar. He walked to the door and saw a figure parked in front of his house, using his foot to stop the car frame. He asked happily, "Wei Yang, why are you here?"

Xing Weiyang parked his bicycle, his face showing anxiety and joy. He stepped onto the stairs with his burly body, stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Xiangdong's wrist, and said anxiously: "Let's go, there is a beauty..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of He Yushui standing timidly in Xiangdong's room looking at him. The words faltered at the tip of his tongue, as he mistakenly thought that Li Xiangdong was dating her, and hurriedly pulled Li Xiangdong towards the door.

He lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me that you found a partner? This person has moved in at home!"

"Are you okay? You're here to kill time so early in the morning, right? This girl is my neighbor, we live in the same yard. What are you thinking?" Li Xiangdong punched Xing Weiyang, "Why are you running here so hastily?"

"Dongzi, this is really strange. A beautiful girl comes to your shop early in the morning to look for you! Oh my god, to be honest, I have been traveling around for so long, but this is the first time I have seen such a woman in this city. She is like a fairy. Come on, come on, hurry up and follow me to the shop!" Xing Weiyang said impatiently, fearing that the girl would run away.

"Beauty? Fairy?" Li Xiangdong was stunned and suddenly remembered the girl who delivered supplements to Wang Li's house.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go!" Xing Weiyang pulled him away without saying anything, acting even more anxious than Li Xiangdong.

"He hasn't had breakfast yet!" He Yushui was far away and could only vaguely hear words like "beauty" and "girlfriend". She couldn't understand what the two were talking about, but she felt that there was something fishy going on and suddenly became anxious.

"Hey, it's too late, people are waiting!" Xing Weiyang smiled carelessly at He Yushui, pushed the cart and walked out.

"Brother Dong!" He Yushui quickly picked up a few hot steamed buns and stuffed them into the small medicine box, then rushed out and handed them to Li Xiangdong, "I picked them up for you, take them with you on the way!"

Xing Weiyang glanced at He Yushui in surprise and looked at Li Xiangdong with a strange look.

"What are you looking at! Let's go!" Li Xiangdong smiled at He Yushui, thanked her, threw the key to her, and then hit Xing Weiyang on the head with a chestnut.

The two of them walked out of the yard one after the other. He Yushui followed them quietly for a while. When she saw them finally disappear at the alley, she stamped her feet involuntarily and pouted her lips nervously.

"Yushui, what's wrong?" Shazhu came out of the yard to go to work and saw her and greeted her with a smile.

"What do you care!" He Yushui rushed back to the central courtyard angrily.

"..." Sha Zhu scratched his head, then smacked his lips speechlessly, "What's wrong with this girl!" Li Xiangdong had already sat on Xing Weiyang's bicycle, touching the cold seat frame, and smiled, "Yangzi, you are good, come back and fix the bicycle!"

"What? This belongs to Lao Yu!" Xing Weiyang kicked his feet up and said without turning his head, "I saw that the girl seemed to be looking for you, so I borrowed a car and came to call you. Let me tell you, I am well-informed. It is not an exaggeration to say that the girl is the most beautiful woman in our city. If you succeed with her, I, Xing Weiyang, will be very proud!"

"I don't want to bother with you!" Li Xiangdong shook his head, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was also a little curious about the other party's identity.

Who is this person who comes to look for me again and again?

"Hey, where is the person?" Xing Weiyang quickly came to the veterinary shop on Qianmen Street and walked around it, but there was no one at the door.

Li Xiangdong sniffed and found that there was still an indescribable special fragrance in the air. It seemed that he had not gone far.

"Xiangdong, are you looking for that girl? We just left a while ago, check the tavern to see if she's there!" Uncle Qin from the barber shop diagonally opposite came out to pour water, and when he saw Xing Weiyang's impatient look, he immediately smiled.

The two brothers looked at each other, and jumped into the car in tacit understanding, "Let's go!"

They arrived at the door of the tavern again. Before the car stopped, they saw Zhao Rong pacing at the door of the restaurant. When she saw Li Xiangdong coming, she grabbed him.

"Sister Zhao, are you waiting for me?" Li Xiangdong asked in surprise.

Zhao Rong almost jumped up and said anxiously, "Xiangdong, hurry up and go to my house. The girl just greeted me and said she was going to my house! You better hurry up and go see her!"

Li Xiangdong rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Sister Zhao, why are you so anxious? I am completely confused."

Zhao Rong looked at Li Xiangdong with a strange look in her eyes and put her hand on his forehead. "Xiangdong, are you okay? I'm an experienced person and I can tell at a glance that the girl came to see you specially! Didn't you miss her last time? You better hurry up, go quickly, or I'll be angry with you! Wei Yang, hurry up!"

"Okay!" Xing Weiyang kicked Li Xiangdong, patted the back seat, and said with a grin, "Your Majesty, I, the eunuch, am getting anxious. Can you please hold on tight?"

Li Xiangdong jumped into the car speechlessly and followed Xing Weiyang all the way to Zhao Rong's home.

squeak!
When he arrived at the door, before the speeding bicycle had stopped, Xing Weiyang stepped on the ground with one foot and looked anxiously into the yard.

But he underestimated the weight of the two people. The huge inertia caused Li Xiangdong on the back seat to fall forward, and the two people fell to the ground with the bicycle.

"Mani Li Xiangdong!"

"Xing Weiyang, can you be more reliable?"

puff!

Just as the Beijing-style quarrel began, the hostility was swept away by a silver bell-like laughter, and the two people who fell to the ground turned their heads to look.

Xing Weiyang was stunned.

Li Xiangdong's eyes suddenly tightened.

It was the same street corner that day, a deep winter morning, with the sun slightly dizzy.

In the sight of the snow-covered world, a young girl in black stood alone, like a fairy descending into an ink painting. The world seemed to have changed color at this moment.
