Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Just now Yu Haitang ran out to look for He Yushui, and on the other side Yan Jiecheng ran in to look for Yu Li. These two things happened one after another, making Zhang Yuan's house extremely lively.

"Hello, my name is Yan Jiecheng, and I'm your blind date." As soon as Yan Jiecheng entered the door, he couldn't wait to walk up to Yu Li, put on a graceful look, and showed two rows of yellow teeth, trying to impress Yu Li in this way and immediately make this a beautiful marriage.

However, Yu Li didn't feel much when she saw him like this. She just smiled faintly and replied, "Hello, we have met before."

Yan Jiecheng was extremely anxious and hurriedly approached Yu Li, chattering on and on about nice things. He also hinted from time to time that he had found a job and that their marriage life would be happy in the future. He had no idea that he was lying.

"Jie Cheng, you are here too?" Just then, Zhang Yuan came out carrying a bag of garbage. The bag was filled with burnt food that was no longer edible.

"Yes, I saw Yu Li coming, so I came over to say hello." Yan Jiecheng hurriedly explained.

At this time, Yan Bugui also came to join in the fun, but when he saw his son accompanying his future wife, he gave up going in to disturb them. Instead, he saw the burnt food in Zhang Yuan's hands and started to make plans again.

"Zhang Yuan! Are you planning to throw it away?" Yan Bugui's eyes lit up as he stared at the plate of burnt food in Zhang Yuan's hand. With a bit of greed and expectation on his face, he asked eagerly.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the dish in his hand that had turned black and emitted a strange smell, shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Yes, the food is all burnt and inedible."

However, Yan Bugui didn't seem to care about the condition of the dish. He licked his lips, looked salivating, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, the mushy dish also has a unique flavor! Instead of throwing it away, why not give it to me? It will just be a good addition to our family's dish."

Seeing Yan Bugui wanting so much, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but think that Yan Bugui was too stingy. How could he eat such food? But after all, they were neighbors, so it was not easy to refuse too bluntly, so he handed the plate of fried food to Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui took the bag as if he had found a treasure, and kept thanking him with a satisfied smile on his face.

However, this scene fell on the eyes of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li who were standing by, and they had completely different feelings. Yu Li looked at Yan Bugui's behavior, and a strong sense of shame surged in her heart. She couldn't understand why her future father-in-law would be so shameless to go to the neighbors to beg for food. In her opinion, this behavior was really incompatible with the identity of a teacher, and it was more like a beggar on the street begging for alms. She secretly made up her mind that she must discuss it with her parents after returning home and must not agree to this marriage. If she didn't see this today and she married him, she was afraid that her life in the future would be like this. It would be a disgrace to her grandmother.

Yan Jiecheng, on the other hand, had a different view on his father's actions. He didn't know Yu Li's true thoughts yet, but he felt that his father was a capable man, who could easily get a dish from a neighbor with just a few words. Even if it was mushy, he could just take it home and pour some boiling water to cook it again, which really added a delicacy to the family. Since he was a child, he even admired his father's methods and felt that he was a person who really knew how to live.

Yu Li looked out the window. It was already dark, and Yu Haitang had not returned yet. She thought it was inappropriate for a girl like her to stay in a strange man's house, so she got up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng felt reluctant and wanted to ask Yu Li to stay for a while, but he felt that the atmosphere at Zhang Yuan's house was just right for the two of them to have a private conversation. If he went to his own house, with a group of people staring at him, he would inevitably feel a little restrained, and it would be inconvenient to say many things directly.

In addition, there was another more difficult matter that made Yan Jiecheng very entangled - should he invite Yu Li to have dinner at home? If he invited others to dinner, no one would agree to give Yu Li a portion of their share, so he could only give her half of his food. But in this way, the amount of food he had, which was not much, would be even less than what he had. As for eating out, Yan Jiecheng didn't even dare to think about it, after all, he didn't have much money in his pocket, and in order to find this job, he also owed a large debt to his family.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yan Jiecheng decided that it would be better to stay at Zhang Yuan's house. At least there would be no one to disturb him, there was water to quench his thirst, and there were some snacks on the table for entertainment. Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng quickly said to Li: "No, it's not too late now! Why don't you stay for a while? It won't be too late for you to leave together when your sister comes back."

After hearing this, Yu Li waved her hands and declined, "Really, no need. It's already very late and I have to hurry to find my sister and go home. I was really in a hurry today and didn't have time to prepare a gift. I'm really sorry. Next time I have the chance, I will definitely prepare a generous gift and visit your house again." After that, Yu Li got up and hurriedly left Zhang Yuan's house.

When Yan Jiecheng heard Yu Li say that she would visit her next time and bring a gift, he immediately smiled happily and quickly stood up to see Yu Li out, fearing that he would delay her return home for too long and make her family worry.

Just then, Yu Haitang just came back from outside. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yu Li who was about to leave, so she walked up to her quickly.

"Sister, why are you leaving so soon?" Yu Haitang asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"How dare you ask? You heartless little thing. You actually left your sister alone in someone else's house and ran away without a trace." Yu Li poked Yu Haitang's forehead lightly with a hint of anger and reproached her with a smile.

"Ouch! It hurts so much, sister, you're too harsh. Are you still my real sister?" Yu Haitang complained aggrievedly while covering her forehead with her hand.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go home quickly. It's getting late and our parents will definitely be worried about our safety." Yu Li took Yu Haitang's hand and said gently.

"Oh, I almost forgot why I came here today. I can only wait until the next time I have the chance to come again." Yu Haitang suddenly remembered that she came here to investigate Yan Jiefang today, and she couldn't help but cover her face in regret.

"Let's go." Yu Li pulled Yu Haitang away together.

"Yu Li, is this your sister?" Yan Jiecheng stopped her and asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, we have met before. It turns out she is your sister. I only knew that she was He Yushui's classmate."
