Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

"Xiao Cao, do you have enough tickets to buy bedding at the department store?"

Lou Xiao'e asked with concern: "I think I have two new quilts at home. If you don't mind, you can use them first."

Cao Yue was about to say that he had a ticket, but his mind changed and his expression changed at the speed of light.

"I don't mind, how could I mind!"

Cao Yue rubbed his hands together and said excitedly, "Sister Xiao'e, I was just worried about not having enough tickets. You helped me a lot!"

"I don't know how to thank you!"

"this is nothing."

Lou Xiao'e was very happy that she could help Cao Yue.

He Yushui, who was standing by, saw this and was unwilling to be outdone. She stepped forward and said, "Cao Yue, I also have a quilt in my room, but it's an old one. You can spread it on the bed and use it as a cushion."

"Yushui, Xiao'e, you two are really good people!"

Cao Yue didn't know how to refuse and accepted it all.

"I'll go get it for you right now."

He Yushui said this and ran out in a hurry.

……

Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to invite Sha Zhu to his house for dinner in order to cultivate their relationship.

But Sha Zhu thought of his younger sister at home and did not agree.

Besides, if he didn’t go home, He Yushui would definitely go find Cao Yue.

This is not okay.

The result was just as Sha Zhu thought. As soon as he came out of Yi Zhonghai's house, he saw his sister hurriedly running back to her room from the backyard.

He Yushui was about to go out with the quilt in her arms when she looked up and was startled.

Her silly brother came into the room at some point and stood in front of her, staring at her with his eyes wide open.

"Brother, don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

Sha Zhu asked coldly: "Where are you going to take the quilt?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "Brother, you are asking even though you already know the answer!"

"Stop smiling at me and be serious! Bring the blanket back to me right now!"

Sha Zhu was so angry when he saw that his sister was taking things from home to give to others even though they hadn't done anything special with each other.

They say girls are extroverts, and it’s really true!

But sister, this is too early!

He Yushui said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, how can you become so unsympathetic? Cao Yue's family doesn't even have a quilt now, do you want to freeze him to death?"

"He deserves to be frozen to death. It's none of your business!" Sha Zhu sneered.

"Who said it has nothing to do with me? He is my classmate and it is my duty to help him." He Yushui said with a pout.

"You little bastard, my words don't work, right? Don't force me to teach you a lesson."

Sha Zhu lost his patience and raised his right hand to threaten.

When He Yushui saw that her brother was really angry, she felt a little scared.

But she had promised Cao Yue that if she didn't keep her word, how would she face him in the future?

He Yushui's eyes rolled and he suddenly came up with an idea.

She held her head high and said unconvincedly, "Brother, before our mother died, she asked you to take good care of me, but she didn't ask you to hit me. If you dare to touch me, I will go to her and cry, saying that you bullied me."

"I have such a bad temper!"

Shazhu was so angry that he was walking around all over the place, but he was finally punished and lost his temper.

Since the hard approach doesn't work, Sha Zhu can only try the soft approach.

"Yushui, how could your brother bear to hit you? Have I ever touched you since you were little?"

Hearing this, He Yushui's expression softened, and he said softly, "Brother, I'm grown up now. Don't worry about some things. I know what's going on."

Seeing that her brother was about to speak, He Yushui took the initiative to attack. She pointed in the direction of the Jia family and said disdainfully:

"Brother, you should take care of yourself. She has a man and a child. Don't let your imagination run wild. Find me a sister-in-law. That will also comfort my soul in heaven!"

Hit the snake at its three-inch mark!

He Yushui's words immediately touched Sha Zhu's heart.

Sha Zhu got furious on the spot: "I'm talking about your business, stop telling me nonsense!"

The corners of He Yushui's mouth rose slightly, and her eyes were clear and bright, as if she saw through the secret buried deep in Sha Zhu's heart.

At first, Sha Zhu was able to pretend to be calm and look at his sister, but he soon gave up because of his lack of confidence.

"I don't want to bother with you today."

Sha Zhu couldn't stay there any longer, so he turned around, walked five or six steps, and suddenly ran back.

"I bought an old hen specially for you. You must come home for dinner tonight." Sha Zhu said with a straight face.

He Yushui smiled like a female general who had won a battle, "Brother, I promised Cao Yue and Sister Xiao'e that the three of us will have dinner together tonight. Since the chicken was bought for me, and I didn't bring any gifts, how about..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Sha Zhu immediately interrupted his sister's next words: "If you dare to stay at Cao Yue's house for dinner, I will eat the whole chicken and not even leave you any soup!"

Sha Zhu was afraid of being angry to death, so after saying this, he left angrily.

"Stingy!" He Yushui snorted.

……

"Sister Xiao'e, this is the quilt you brought as a dowry!"

Cao Yue followed Lou Xiao'e home to pick up the quilt, and was surprised to see that it was a pure cotton bright red quilt cover with a big happy pattern printed on it.

Lou Xiao'e agreed to give Cao Yue a quilt without giving it much thought at the time, but now she feels that it is a little inappropriate.

Cao Yue looked at Lou Xiao'e's blushing face and smiled, "But it doesn't matter. I'll cover it with a quilt so that others won't be able to see it."

"That's what I thought. I have two new quilt covers here. I'll give them both to you."

Lou Xiao'e found two more quilt covers with a phoenix wearing a peony pattern and gave them away without hesitation.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e being so generous, Cao Yue was deeply impressed. If this happened in later generations, there would be countless men lining up to hug a rich woman like Lou Xiao'e, who knows.

The two of them put the quilt cover back on, and then Cao Yue took it out to dry in the sun.

……

When Cao Yue and Lou Xiao'e returned to Cao Yue's home, He Yushui had already hung the quilt outside to dry.

The three of them then cooked at Cao Yue's home.

Cao Yue cleaned up the pheasants, hares and a five-jin silver carp and gave them all to He Yushui.

"Yushui, tonight it all depends on your skills as the chef of Tan's cuisine."

He Yushui smiled and said, "You can't make Tan's cuisine with these ingredients, and they lack seasonings. They are only suitable for making Sichuan and Shandong cuisine."

"If you like Tan's food, I'll write you a recipe. You prepare the ingredients and I'll cook it for you next time."

“Let’s make Sichuan cuisine tonight.”

Cao Yue naturally agreed.

When He Yushui was cooking, Cao Yue and Lou Xiao'e were watching from the side, and both wanted to learn something.

Cao Yue has eaten the dishes cooked by Lou Xiao'e, and to be honest, they are only average.

after an hour.

He Yushui prepared four dishes and one soup.

Lou Xiao'e went home and brought back a bottle of foreign wine, and the three of them sat together drinking and chatting.

……

Middle Court.

Jia Dongxu pushed open the door of Yi Zhonghai's house, entered the house, fell to his knees at Yi Zhonghai's feet, and then hugged his thighs and cried loudly.

After half an hour.

Yi Zhonghai sent Jia Dongxu away with red and swollen eyes.

The lady touched her eyes with emotion and sighed, "Old Yi, it seems that Dongxu really knows he is wrong."

Just now, Jia Dongxu cried the whole time, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very sincere and profound. He said that he would definitely change his ways and start a new life in the future.

"It's easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature. He will be like that in this life." Yi Zhonghai did not believe that Jia Dongxu would repent.

The lady was puzzled and asked, "Why did you say so many kind words to him just now? I thought you forgave him."

"Humph! We all live in the same courtyard. It would be bad if we quarreled with each other."

"And we lent him 900 yuan just in these two times. Just now, Jia Dongxu promised to pay us back 10 yuan a month. As long as he keeps his promise, he can pay it back in six or seven years."

The lady shook her head and said, "I don't think it's going to work out. They have so many mouths to feed, and Jia Dongxu is unreliable. With a salary of 37 yuan a month, how much can he save to pay you back?"

"I have my own plan. Jia Dongxu is now a second-level worker. Starting tomorrow, I will urge him to study hard, and then I will teach him from the side. It will be no problem for him to pass the third-level worker exam before the end of the year." Yi Zhonghai said confidently.

The aunt was overjoyed when she heard this: "That's great, his salary will be higher, and he can pay back more money."

A smile appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face, but the next second he thought of another person who gave him a headache, and his face instantly darkened again.

Cao Yue!
