Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Liu Qingshan held two bottles of Erguotou in his left hand and walked straight towards the central courtyard with big strides.

As soon as he walked to the middle of the yard, he felt a resentful gaze coming from the side. It was obvious that it was from Jia Zhang. Liu Qingshan's heart trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, and soon arrived at the door of Sha Zhu's house.

At this time, several women were chatting in the living room. When they saw Liu Qingshan coming in, they stopped talking and looked at him. Feng Yu leaned over and asked softly, "Qingshan, what did you say to Aunt Jia just now? I see that you look a little strange!"

When Liu Qingshan heard this, he immediately felt like he had found a soulmate. He quickly put the things in his hands aside, sat down on the sofa, and began to complain to everyone. He became more and more excited and his voice became louder and louder.

The beauties who were listening were also filled with indignation.

At this time, Sha Zhu and Nan Yi each carried a plate of food and walked into the room. They saw the people who were chatting happily, so they interrupted them without hesitation: "Hey! Aren't you guys hungry? You should take a break first. The food is ready, and we can eat! Let's continue chatting happily while eating."

Hearing the sound, Yu Shui suddenly realized that her brother had come. She quickly stood up, walked forward, and took the plate of fragrant food from Sha Zhu.

"Okay, then let's eat and talk at the same time! We still have plenty of time in the afternoon anyway." Liu Qingshan responded with a smile on his face, expressing his agreement with the proposal.

After Sha Zhu got the answer, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen, ready to get some more dishes and chopsticks. Yu Shui followed closely behind him and also went into the kitchen to help.

Seeing this, the other people present took action consciously. They stood up and began to tidy up the messy table, put the tables and chairs in order, and made all preparations before the meal.

After a while, everyone sat down.

Sha Zhu asked with a smile: "What were you talking about just now? I saw you were chatting very enthusiastically!"

Yu Shui began to explain with an excited look on his face.

Sha Zhu was also shocked when he heard it.

Liu Qingshan picked up the bottle, poured a glass of wine for each of them, and then slowly said, "It's true that her family has a hard life, but it doesn't mean that I am poor and I am right, and you should help me. You are so bold to ask for help. There are several families in the courtyard who are in difficulty, but none of them are like her."

Just when a few people were complaining, a person came in through the door.

When he came in, his eyes didn't move, staring at the food on the table, as if he wanted to eat it with his eyes.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Before he finished speaking, someone walked into the house. It was none other than the uncle who lived in the front yard - Yan Bugui.

After hearing Sha Zhu's question, Yan Bugui came back to his senses after a long while, and answered with a stammer: "Just now...just now, the Jia family in the middle court found us uncles and said that their family is so poor that they can't even open the pot! We discussed it and thought that we should quickly hold a simple assistance meeting this afternoon before the sun sets. So, I came here specially to inform you."

Everyone in the room was speechless when they heard this. They thought, how come you, the manager of the front yard, are notifying the residents of the middle yard? And you came at such a coincidence.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. We know about it and will definitely go there this afternoon."

As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, the third uncle seemed to be under a spell, with his feet deeply rooted in the ground, not moving at all.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu shook his head helplessly and spoke again: "Uncle, you see I have guests here, it is really inconvenient for you to stay for long. But don't worry, we will definitely not delay the afternoon's matter, and we will definitely be there on time."

Until then, the third uncle reluctantly moved his gaze away from the table, still muttering: "Hey, you are worthy of being the chef of our courtyard. Just looking at these dishes makes people salivate. Oh! There is even wine. You really live a comfortable life." As he spoke, his eyes were full of envy.

However, the other people present ignored the third uncle, lowered their heads tacitly, pretending not to hear what he said, and instead started talking enthusiastically about the interesting things that happened in the department store today.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the third uncle felt embarrassed and could only turn around and leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to look back at the table full of sumptuous dishes and fine wine, and sighed in his heart. Alas! No one invited him to sit down and have a drink.

After Nan Yi saw what was happening, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, so he quickly asked, "How did you choose the steward of your hospital? How could such a weirdo get this position?"

When they heard Nan Yi's question, everyone present burst into laughter.

Yu Shui smiled and answered, "When the courtyard was electing a manager, I was still young and didn't know much about the details. I just remember that the third uncle seemed to have been a teacher before, and the people above thought he had some cultural background, so they chose him for this position."

When Ding Qiunan heard this, he showed a look of disdain on his face and complained indignantly: "How dare he call himself a teacher with this kind of attitude? He is simply destroying the reputation of this noble profession!"

Ding Qiunan has always had a certain admiration for educated people. Although Yan Bugui is not highly educated, he is a teacher after all. She feels that her beliefs have been tarnished.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It makes me so angry." Feng Yu saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly stopped the topic and asked curiously, "Where did you guys go today? You haven't been seen for a long time."

When this matter was mentioned, the three men smiled at each other, and in tacit understanding, they took out a small box from their pockets.

"What is this? Open it and take a look!" Feng Yu asked suspiciously.

"This is not for you. It's useless to ask. I'm giving it to my wife." Sha Zhu said cheerfully. In response, Yu Shui rolled her eyes.

Feng Yu and the other two opened the boxes in their hands at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, three exquisite watches appeared before everyone.

"Wow, a watch! You actually went to buy a watch together. Why did you spend so much money?" Tian Xiuyun looked at Sha Zhu with a hint of anger, but her eyes could not hide her admiration.

"We wanted to buy it in the department store, but it was too expensive, and we needed so many tickets. If we really bought it, we wouldn't be able to live. So we went to the trust store to buy one. We specially picked out a good one for you, try it on and try it on." Sha Zhu handed the watch to Tian Xiuyun with both hands as if he was offering a treasure.
