Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

Finally, Zhang Fuwang couldn't resist Li Tianyou's constant nagging and finally let Li Tianyou cook.

People of Zhang Fuwang's generation were used to being poor and hungry, so there was still a lot of meat in the kitchen.

Li Tianyou first boiled the corn and then fried two side dishes.

The staple food is fried noodles with soybean sauce. Don’t ask why fried noodles with soybean sauce. What else can people eat if not fried noodles with soybean sauce?

Zhang Fuwang looked at the exquisite side dishes and the fragrant noodles with soybean paste and said with a smile: "Tianyou, I didn't expect that your cooking skills are getting better and better. You should go to the kitchen team that the army won't go to!"

Li Tianyou rolled his eyes and said, "I am the company commander of the army and also in the kitchen. Uncle, do you really want me to be a cook?"

Gao Meiyu also smiled when she heard this and said, "Good cook, we have enough food and drink, hehe."

Zhang Fuwang said: "Okay, you are awesome, eat quickly, or the noodles will clump together."

The three of them had a pleasant meal together.

Zhang Fuwang was full of praise for the noodles with soybean paste made by Li Tianyou.

Gao Meiyu also praised repeatedly.

Seeing that everyone had finished their meal, Li Tianyou went to the kitchen and took out the cooked corn cobs, and started chewing on them while holding one in his arms.

The three of them chatted and laughed until evening came quickly.

Zhang Fuwang answered a phone call, and Li Tianyou and Gao Meiyu were both looking at Zhang Fuwang.

After Zhang Fuwang hung up the phone, he said to Li Tianyou: "Let's go, your grandfather is waiting for you."

Li Tianyou nodded upon hearing this.

The three of them got up and left, driving towards the place that people longed for.

Along the way, Gao Meiyu excitedly held Li Tianyou's hand. Perhaps feeling Gao Meiyu's nervousness, Li Tianyou gently patted Gao Meiyu's hand, signaling her not to be nervous.

The car drove for about half an hour and stopped in front of a building.

Zhang Fuwang said: "We are here, let's get off."

Li Tianyou nodded, opened the door and got out of the car.

Gao Meiyu had been holding Li Tianyou's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that something terrible would happen if she let go of Li Tianyou's hand.

Under the leadership of Zhang Fuwang, they arrived at the door of the building. When the guard saw it was Zhang Fuwang, he saluted immediately.

Li Tianyou followed Zhang Fuwang smoothly to an office.

Zhang Fuwang sighed and said, "Your grandfather is here. Except when he goes out, he basically eats and lives here. Going back and forth to go home is a waste of time. He said that if he had that much time, he could handle something else himself."

Li Tianyou nodded when he heard this, and Gao Meiyu said: "Grandpa Zhou is so hardworking!"

Zhang Fuwang said: "This is still good. Sometimes your grandfather has to go to the countryside to see the current situation of the farmers. He is afraid that some officials are inactive and sometimes work in their cars and sleep in the open air." As he said this, he knocked on the door.

Bang, bang, bang

"Come in." A voice came from inside the door.

The voice is full of energy, but also very soft, making you feel like you are listening to a kind old man.

The door opened and a middle-aged man appeared.

The moment the middle-aged man saw the door, he shouted: "Hello, Minister Zhang." Then he whispered: "Minister Zhang, the old leader hasn't eaten yet, please persuade him." (I originally planned to call him the title we all know, but I was afraid it wouldn't pass the review, so I used the old leader. Please don't criticize me.)

Li Tianyou also heard what the middle-aged man said, his heart twitched, and his eyes felt inexplicably sore.

Gao Meiyu's eyes also turned red and tears flashed in her eyes.

Zhang Fuwang sighed and said, "Oh, I understand. Secretary Fang, go and bring the food over first!"

Secretary Fang nodded and walked out after hearing this.

Zhang Fuwang brought Li Tianyou and Gao Meiyu in.

When Mr. Zhou looked up and saw Zhang Fuwang and Li Tianyou coming in, tears welled up in his eyes, but he still stood up, walked towards Li Tianyou and gave him a hug.

Li Tianyou also couldn't control his eyes and shed big tears.

Mr. Zhou said in a kind tone: "Tianyou, I heard that you got married." Mr. Zhou asked very carefully.

Li Tianyou loosened his arms, wiped the endless tears in his eyes, and nodded repeatedly: "Well, my grandson got married, but I didn't inform grandpa. It's Tianyou's fault."

Old Master Zhou showed a kind smile, gently pinched Li Tianyou's shoulders with both hands and said: "You've become a lot stronger. It's good that you're married. Your Uncle Zhang, is anxious to have a grandson? Haha." As he said that, he also laughed happily.

Zhang Fuwang also said: "Old Chief, aren't you also waiting to hold your great-grandson?"

Mr. Zhou also laughed after hearing this.

Grandpa Zhou looked at Li Tianyou and said, "When I named you, I thought that I hoped you would be blessed by God, so I named you Tianyou. This time when I heard that you were injured while escorting grain, I was also very anxious, but later I heard that you miraculously recovered, and I was relieved."

Li Tianyou blushed when he heard this. He is not the original body, but he will live a good life on behalf of the original body and be filial to you.

Gao Meiyu whispered: "Brother Tianyou, your nickname is still very solid, Tiedan. Hehe."

Li Tianyou's face darkened when he heard this, and Zhang Fuwang and Mr. Zhou also laughed.

Mr. Zhou looked at Gao Meiyu and smiled: "My girl, you are the daughter of Shanhai, right?"

Gao Meiyu came to Grandpa Zhou and said, "Grandpa Zhou, I am Gao Meiyu."

Mr. Zhou said: "Just call me grandpa."

Gao Meiyu was delighted and quickly said, "Grandpa."

Mr. Zhou also sighed happily.

Mr. Zhou said: "There are too many things to do. I answered Fuwang's call, but I forgot about Tianyou and the others when I got busy."

Zhang Fuwang said: "Old Chief, why haven't you eaten yet? This is not good."

Li Tianyou also said: "Grandpa, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Mr. Zhou waved his hand and said, "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it. You can eat with me later."

Zhang Fuwang frowned and said, "But old leader, you are eating with us, your working hours are extended, and your rest time is less!"

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay. Since I drank the tea you brought me, my mind has become much clearer and my body has become much better. So now I can handle things much faster than before."

Li Tianyou felt guilty when he heard this, thinking he should have given the tea to Mr. Zhou earlier.

While a few people were chatting, Secretary Fang brought up the food.

The meal was simple, millet porridge, steamed buns, and a few simple side dishes.

It can be said that his food is not as good as Zhang Fuwang's, let alone Li Tianyou's.

Zhang Fuwang said: "Old Chief, you still eat so simply, how can it be nutritious?"

Secretary Fang said: "Old leader, he donated all his salary and paid for his meals out of his own pocket."

Gao Meiyu grabbed Li Tianyou's hand and squeezed it hard a few times, meaning that she wanted Li Tianyou to persuade Mr. Zhou.

Li Tianyou sighed and said, "Grandpa, your work is very intense and long-duration, and your body can't keep up with the nutrition if you keep eating these."

After Mr. Zhou asked everyone to sit down, he said: "Some time ago, I went to a disaster area. The people there didn't even have tree bark or grass roots to eat. It's already very good for me to eat these." After saying that, he asked everyone to start eating.

While eating, Mr. Zhou said: "I asked the local people what they want to eat the most. They said they want to eat white flour fried with oil, and then add some wild vegetables, mix it into dumpling stuffing, and make dumplings to eat. They say it tastes good and can resist hunger. After I knew it, I asked Secretary Fang to find some white flour and asked the villagers to cook a meal for me. Bai said it was really delicious."

Li Tianyou couldn't eat anymore, really couldn't eat anymore. The supplies in his space could be described as astronomical numbers, but he couldn't take them out at all.

As the saying goes.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

But Li Tianyou really can't do it, really can't take it out.

Gao Meiyu was also very touched, her eyes were red, thinking about the recent time she had been with Li Tianyou, eating meat and fish every day and occasionally seafood.

Now I feel guilty.

Zhang Fuwang looked at Li Tianyou with a complicated expression. He moved his mouth but still didn't ask.

Because Zhang Fuwang didn't know how to ask, Li Tianyou didn't ask for the country's supplies, but instead helped the country.

How can I have the nerve to speak again now?

Li Tianyou also noticed it and sighed in his heart, not knowing whether he should help. If he was exposed, his life and property would be in danger, and he also had Gao Meiyu.

Li Tianyou knew very well that greed is endless.

Grandpa Zhou looked at Li Tianyou and said with a smile: "Tianyou, eat! Is it because what grandpa said makes you uncomfortable? When people get old, they just like to nag, so don't blame grandpa!"

Li Tianyou shook his head and said, "Grandpa, no, I just feel sad for the people in the disaster area."

Mr. Zhou sighed and said, "Tianyou has been kind since childhood. You were injured this time. I asked you clearly and you were unwilling to attack the victims. If you had ordered the shooting at that time, you would not have been injured at all."

Li Tianyou said: "Grandpa, they were just hungry people, I really couldn't bear to give the order at that time."

Zhang Fuwang also sighed and said: "Hey, Tianyou, I know it's inappropriate to ask you again, but I still want to ask you, can you help the country again."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou frowned and asked, "Tianyou, what does your uncle mean?"

Li Tianyou opened his mouth to explain, and Zhang Fuwang said: "Old Chief, didn't I get a batch of supplies a few days ago? It was Tianyou who helped me get it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou put down his chopsticks in shock and said, "Tianyou, is what your uncle said true?"

Li Tianyou also put down his chopsticks and said, "It's true, Grandpa."

Mr. Zhou held Li Tianyou's hands with both hands and said excitedly: "Tianyou, can you get some more? The New Year is coming soon, and supplies are in short supply everywhere because of this year's disaster."

Li Tianyou said, "Grandpa, I have to go to Hong Kong to see if I can get it back."

Zhang Fuwang frowned and said, "Tianyou, why do you have to go to Xiangjiang to find out?"

Gao Meiyu also put down her chopsticks and said, "Brother Tianyou, you should tell grandpa the truth!"

After hearing what Gao Meiyu said, Mr. Zhou and Zhang Fuwang became even more curious and looked at Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou said: "The Governor of Hong Kong, David Komphilj, is my grandfather."

Zhang Fuwang exclaimed, "What?"

Grandpa Zhou also frowned and looked at Li Tianyou and asked: "Tianyou, can you tell grandpa in detail?"
