Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

The old lady couldn't help but think.

Downloaded Spend so much money on eggs and meat.

I can't just eat eggs and meat from now on.

So the old lady asked again.

"He Yuzhu bought so many eggs and meat at once."

"If this money is all gone, how will we live?"

Zhou Li placed her hand on the old man's aged hand.

She knew the old lady was worried about her.

I feel so warm in my heart.

"Don't worry, old lady."

"Besides eggs and meat, there's flour, oil and so on."

"He Yuzhu bought them all."

"He said that he would never let us go hungry again."

"So don't worry about us."

"You can keep these things."

Now the deaf old lady was completely relieved.

He laughed so hard that his eyes became slits.

"That's good!"

At this time, Zhou Li took out the last important dish from the basket.

It is different from others.

This dish is served in a lunch box.

After Zhou Li opened the lunch box.

The whole room was filled with the aroma of food.

The deaf old lady lived so long.

It was also the first time I asked for such a delicious dish.

Before the old lady could ask what it was.

The young friend started talking directly.

"Grandma, these are the chicken nuggets that my dad fried himself."

"It smells so good."

The deaf old lady was completely stunned.

Stir-fried chicken nuggets.

This is a hard dish.

In that era, this was basically rare.

Because this dish consumes too much oil.

Whether the chicken nuggets are fragrant or not depends entirely on the amount of oil.

Ordinary people usually don't eat it at all.

That is, this dish is only made when entertaining guests.

Just relying on one dish.

The old lady knew clearly that He Yuzhu's family had no shortage of oil.

More than nothing.

That could be a lot more.

Otherwise, who can afford such a dish?

The old lady looked at Zhou Li seriously.

"He family, your good days are still ahead."

Zhou Li thought that He Yuzhu's current transformation was very good.

But she never thought that the old lady would think so highly of him.

The old lady held Zhou Li's hand and spoke slowly.

"I am the one who has lived the longest in this yard."

“So I’ve met a lot of men.”

"But he's the first person I've ever seen who cooks for his wife."

"He did a lot of inhuman things before."

“But he’s obviously changed now.”

"Just live a good life with him from now on."

Zhou Li was both moved and confused by the old lady's words.

She also knew that what the old lady said was absolutely right!

When everything is lacking.

A man is the pillar of the family.

The whole family's work falls on the man's shoulders.

In their compound.

It's like this in every family.

If the man in the family is no longer capable.

Then this family will soon fall apart.

The same goes for Qin Huairu.

After the man died.

She took over the man's job.

The woman lives like a man, and still needs Zhao Xiaoming's support to survive.

At that time, we always had two tables for meals.

A table of men and a table of women.

The men ate the best food, while the women at the other table with their children could only eat the leftovers.

The new system had just been established at that time.

Everything still retains the old style.

The most serious of these is the preference for boys over girls.

This can be clearly seen from Qin Huairu's house.

Even if Banggeng does something bad, his family will protect him.

But Huaihua and Xiaodang would be scolded even if they did not make any mistakes.

The same goes for He Yushui.

No one at home cares.

He Yuzhu's predecessor's attitude towards Zhou Li and Xiaoyou was also because Xiaoyou was a girl.

At that time, I thought all of this was extremely normal.

They think that raising a girl is like raising a child for someone else.

This extremely distorted idea was the most normal thing at that time.

So when someone like He Yuzhu who has modern thinking came through.

It can be considered a very strange thought at that time.

Zhou Li saw all this, so how could she not feel something?

Even if the old lady didn't remind her, she knew what she should do.

It means that the man of the family was praised by the old lady.

She also felt a little blushing.

At this moment she suddenly thought of Zhao Xiaoming.

Zhao Xiaoming also often cooks for Qin Huairu.

How could the old lady not know?

But why didn't the old lady mention him?

Zhou Li couldn't suppress her curiosity.

An indirect test.

"Brother Zhao Xiaoming also often cooks for Sister Qin."

"He Yuzhu is not the first one."

When she heard the name Zhao Xiaoming, the old lady showed an expression of disappointment.

"Forget about him."

"He was cheated by Qin Huairu and still had to count money for her."

Now Zhou Li was even more convinced of He Yuzhu's words.

He Yuzhu said there was not a single good person in this yard.

A little probing will reveal that the deaf old lady knows the truth but just doesn't say it.

All of this is exactly as He Yuzhu said.

Zhou Li couldn't help feeling a little scared.

The neighbor who I have lived with for so long turned out to be such a person.

On the surface, he is a tough person who takes care of the whole family.

But he was doing unknown things behind the scenes.

This is simply incredible!

"You should listen to He Yuzhu more in the future!"

Zhou Li silently told herself this in her heart.

Then pick up the bowl of chicken nuggets.

"Old lady, please try it."

"This won't taste good if it gets cold."

As soon as the old lady heard that the dish was made by He Yuzhu himself, she wanted to try it.

I was so busy talking that I forgot about this dish.

The old lady picked up her chopsticks and reached out towards the food.

"Okay, I'm going to try it."

Just when I was about to put the food into my mouth.

The old lady seemed to remember something.

Said to my friend.

"Come and eat something with grandma."

The young friend waved his hand quickly.

"No, no."

"Grandma, I won't eat it."

"I ate too much at home just now. I can't eat anything now."

He just said it, as if to illustrate how full he was.

One of them couldn't help but burped in front of the deaf old lady.

The moment when the burp sound came out.

Xiaoyou and Zhou Li's faces both turned red.

I didn't expect such a big embarrassment to happen.

But the old lady didn't think so.

She smiled instead.

"It's good to be full, it's good to be full!"

After saying that, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

It's delicious!

"delicious!"

"I didn't expect that boy's craftsmanship is so good."

The taste is very much like the old lady's.

Once I started eating, I never stopped.

Maybe the deaf old lady ate too happily.

The little friend, who was originally full, still wanted to eat those dishes.

The old lady naturally saw that the young man wanted to eat.

So she asked again.

"Come on, have some food."

My friend, you are really full.

She shook her head again.

"Grandma, I can't eat any more. I really can't eat any more."
