Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

"Oh, Shazhu is back from get off work! You see you have a lunch box in your hand, there must be a lot of leftovers in it. Let's go to Third Uncle's house tonight. We haven't had a drink together for a long time since your father moved out. Now you have food and I have wine, so let's eat together." Yan Bugui saw Shazhu carrying a row of lunch boxes, and the three lunch boxes in the net bag were heavy. He knew at a glance that there were a lot of food stuffed in them, which made Yan Bugui immediately want to pack the lunch boxes.

Yan Bugui smiled, staring at the lunch box in Sha Zhu's hand, with a greedy look in his eyes. He thought, these meals must be leftovers from the factory cafeteria, and in order to have enough for his family of four to have a good meal today, Yan Bugui was willing to risk his reputation and make Sha Zhu keep the lunch box.

As long as he can convince Sha Zhu and bring the lunch box to his home, then Sha Zhu will have no say in the matter. How can he compete with the seven mouths of the Yan family? Thinking of this, Yan Bugui felt very happy and felt that he was really lucky today.

"Hey, don't. You can't show off your wine. I don't know how much water you added to it. It doesn't taste like alcohol at all. You should keep it for yourself." If Sha Zhu hadn't met Qin Huairu, he would have been very smart and would not have been fooled by Yan Bugui.

Sha Zhu stared at Yan Bugui with his eyes wide open, his mouth corners slightly raised, and said disdainfully: "Uncle, are you trying to take advantage of me again? Who wants to drink your crappy wine?" After saying that, he shook the lunch box in his hand and walked into the yard triumphantly.

"Shazhu, don't say that. My wine was given to me by my students' parents. It's a bottle of good wine, and I usually don't want to take it out to drink. Now that you're blessed, I'm willing to give it to you." Yan Bugui was not ashamed at all and didn't take Shazhu's words to heart.

Yan Bugui was a little unhappy when he heard Sha Zhu's words, but he didn't show it. He smiled and continued, "Sha Zhu, don't underestimate my wine, it's good wine!"

"Forget it, I'll leave the blessing you mentioned to you. I have to go to Zhang Yuan's house today, so don't worry about this dish." Sha Zhu waved his hand and refused Yan Bugui.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui realized that he had failed again today, so he had to let Sha Zhu leave in shame.

Arriving at the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu glanced at the pond, but found that the familiar figure was missing. He felt a sense of loss and emptiness in his heart. He felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had lost something important.

Just as he was about to speak and try to attract the attention of the white moonlight, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Shazhu, you're back, why don't you come in quickly!" Zhang Yuan saw Shazhu standing by the pool in a daze, and immediately understood what he was thinking, so he shouted, trying to wake Shazhu up.

Hearing this voice, Sha Zhu turned around with a hint of displeasure on his face: "Zhang Yuan, why are you here?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and asked, "What do you think? This is my home, of course I want to be at home."

Sha Zhu scratched his head awkwardly, realizing that he had asked a stupid question. He smiled helplessly, thinking that he would not have the chance to get close to Sister Qin today. In the past, he could take advantage of Qin Huairu's grabbing the lunch box to touch her little hand or smell her fragrance, but now, everything has vanished into thin air.

Sha Zhu could only force a smile to hide his inner disappointment. After all, Qin Huairu meant a lot to him, and now even such a small contact has become so difficult. He sighed and walked into the house silently, feeling more and more depressed.

After entering the house, Zhang Yuan took the lunch box from Sha Zhu, placed it on the stove and started heating it. At the same time, he opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of Erwotou and two cups.

"Yu Shui has to work overtime tonight and won't be back for a while, so let's go first, brothers." After saying that, Zhang Yuan filled a glass of white wine for himself and Sha Zhu respectively.

"Okay! I'll follow your arrangements." Sha Zhu didn't care too much about these. After all, Zhang Yuan had already prepared some snacks in advance - peanuts and cold-mixed preserved eggs.

After three rounds of drinks, He Yushui finally returned home, but her face was full of bad luck, as if someone made her unhappy.

"Yu Shui, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?" Seeing that He Yu Shui was in such a low mood, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but ask with concern.

However, He Yushui did not answer, but only looked at the wine glass in front of him, and suddenly reached out to grab Zhang Yuan's wine glass and drank it all. This sudden action made Zhang Yuan and Sha Zhu look at each other in bewilderment, at a loss.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Perhaps because he drank too much, He Yushui was choked and coughed continuously, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"It's okay, I'm fine." He Yushui shook his hand to indicate that he was fine.

However, seeing that she had just come and drank a glass of white wine and said that nothing happened to her today, she was simply lying. But He Yushui didn't want to tell the truth, so Zhang Yuan and Sha Zhu didn't dare to force her to answer.

"The food is ready, let's eat first." Zhang Yuan saw that the situation was a bit awkward and quickly reminded Sha Zhu.

"Oh, yes, I'll bring the lunch box." Sha Zhu went to bring the lunch box like a yes-man, his heart full of worry, and he almost burned his hand because of his distraction.

The three of them ate quietly, no one dared to say a word.

"Snap!" Suddenly, He Yushui put down his chopsticks.

"You guys keep eating, I'm leaving now." Sha Zhu was startled, and quickly finished his meal and went back to his room to sleep. As he walked, he muttered, "This meal was so uncomfortable..."

He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu's back as he left, her heart full of doubts and dissatisfaction. She felt that her brother had become more and more strange recently, and she didn't know what had happened. Zhang Yuan ate his meal in silence, thinking about how to solve this problem.

"Zhang Yuan, what do you think my brother will do in the future?"

"what?"

"You know what? After get off work today, I heard a lot of bad things about my brother, and they were very ugly." He Yushui was finally willing to tell the truth.
