Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

When he went back to catch fish the year before last, Chen Xu threw the two little tigers to Xiao Hei with a look of disgust and left them to be trained by himself.

Anyway, there is a pond, so we can afford to raise four tigers. Instead of keeping them in space and being chased by geese all day long, it is better to throw them into the mountains to exercise for a while.

Lin Family Village.

Lin's mother was not at home. Four tigers were squatting in the yard. Xiao Hei was still scratching the door relentlessly. There was also a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms lying next to them.

A group of people from Linjia Village looked at each other in confusion. The old village chief was a little worried. Chen Xu and Lin Chan were not there, and Lin's mother was not there either. What should he do?

After thinking for a moment, the old village chief stepped forward and scratched Xiao Hei's chin.

"Stop scratching me. I'm going to the city now. I won't be back until after the New Year..."

The old village chief didn't expect Xiao Hei to understand, but Xiao Hei miraculously tilted his big head and thought for a while, picked up the wild boar on the ground and placed it in front of the old village chief, then left with his wife and children without looking back.

"Is this tiger really a spirit???"

The old village chief and the villagers who were watching the fun were all filled with question marks.

It is naturally impossible for it to become a spirit. It is a law that spirits are not allowed to be formed after the founding of the country. The reason why Xiao Hei behaves like this is entirely because Chen Xu was bored and purified the space with the four tigers a few times for no reason.

The reason was that Chen Xu disliked the tigers for being dirty and smelling bad, but he was too lazy to give them a bath, so he just used space purification to do the job, which was clean and neat.

Over time, the four tigers have obviously benefited a lot, their IQs have greatly improved, and they can even barely understand what humans are saying...

In fact, there have been precedents for this. The first batch of old employees of the space example, the fish, had obviously higher IQs than their juniors. There were even aliens like koi that could fully understand what Chen Xu meant. This was all thanks to the space purification.

"Village Chief, what should we do with this pig?"

"Let's boil some water and give each of us a portion. Remember to leave two portions for Chen Xu and the others."

"Good."

The villagers were overjoyed, and when the old village chief asked them to do something, they immediately got to work and started boiling water to give the wild boar a hot bath.

The old village chief looked at the busy villagers and sighed in his heart that the tiger was not raised in vain. It was true that all things have spirits. Normally, the tiger would bring things back to Lin's mother from time to time. It was really rare to see such a thing in one's lifetime.

Obviously, the old village chief didn't know that Chen Xu played a key role in this, otherwise, Xiao Hei would never run to Linjia Village. Even if he occasionally went down the mountain in the past, it was because he couldn't find food and went down the mountain to beg for food.

As a result, he was beaten up by Lin Chan and a group of villagers with guns. How tragic it was.

In Linjia Village and Siheyuan, the smell of meat wafted from every household, which was not seen in previous years. Occasionally, the sound of firecrackers could be heard, symbolizing people's yearning for a better future.

Lin Chan seemed to have a smaller appetite, which made Chen Xu a little worried.

My wife used to eat a lot because she wanted to replenish the energy consumed by the warrior. How come she can’t eat much now that there are two of us?

I found an opportunity to bring my wife into the space and checked it back and forth several times, but did not find any problems.

Lin Chan smiled and explained that she had made a breakthrough and was now a real Dan Jin warrior. Her body was like a golden elixir and it was impermeable. Her energy would no longer be lost in large quantities due to her daily activities, so naturally her need for food would decrease.

Chen Xu nodded silently. As long as there was no problem, he was fine. As for Dan Jin and the like, he didn't care at all. In fact, he was now a dark force expert and was only one step away from Hua Jin. He was already a real strong man among warriors.

What Lin Chan took more than ten years to accomplish, he accomplished in two years. In a few more years, maybe he can really catch up with Lin Chan's realm. At that time, the two of them will form the Black and White Duo and be able to dominate the world...

This is getting off topic. Chen Xu naturally had no intention of hanging out in the underworld.

Besides, he is in the underworld, and where there are people, there is underworld...

Chen Xu's situation is more like a great recluse hiding in the city.

Compared with the Chen family, other residents of the courtyard are quite satisfied with this New Year.

The deaf old lady celebrated the New Year with He Daqing, Li Xiulan and Yu Shui.

Yu Shui was somewhat uncomfortable with having a stepmother, but there were also advantages. At least he could use his relationship with Li Xiu Lan as a legitimate reason to come here, and breaking off the relationship with He Daqing would seem like a piece of cake.

Fortunately, she rarely comes back, so no one will pay much attention to her as an unknown person in the courtyard.

The deaf old lady was very satisfied with the delicious dishes on the table. He Daqing's cooking skills were obviously much better than that of her godson Sha Zhu. It was true that age was more important than experience.

Although the deaf old lady now thinks that her godson Sha Zhu is dead, she still craves for this bite of food. Usually, it is Sha Zhu who takes care of it during the New Year, and now that He Daqing has taken over, it seems no different.

What makes her most satisfied is that she can usually have a good meal. After Li Xiulan and He Daqing got married, they did not forget about the old lady. They still take care of her as before and even occasionally bring some dishes cooked by He Daqing to honor the old lady.

He Daqing didn't say anything because the old lady gave Sha Zhu a house. Of course, what was more important was that he discovered that the old lady might have quite a fortune.

For example, Li Xiulan took out a small yellow croaker and said it was given by the old lady...

The deaf old lady obviously started to use the same method to control He Daqing as she did to control Yi Zhonghai, and the result was no different. In fact, the easiest way to control others is to be willing to invest money.

The small yellow croaker is actually of little use to the deaf old lady. Even without her, a five-guarantee household, they can still have enough food and clothing, but if they want to eat well, they have to rely on He Daqing.

The deaf old lady understood one thing very well: it was useless to try to get something for nothing against smart people.

Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing are both smart people, so they have to spend some money to win them over...

Speaking of which, He Daqing now has really too many houses. With Yi Zhonghai's two rooms plus the two rooms in his backyard, they are totally unable to accommodate him.

However, He Daqing had no intention of giving up the rented house, even though the conditions in Yi Zhonghai's house were better than those in the corner in the backyard.

But Sha Zhu will have to come back sooner or later, and he has to leave a house for his son. If he gives up the house now, it will not be easy to rent it again.

The living conditions of the residents in the Siheyuan courtyards have improved a bit now, and a lot of people are considering renting a house. It is estimated that as soon as He Daqing checks out, someone else will rent it. After all, many Siheyuan families still live together in one house.

The Jia family in the middle courtyard.

Qin Huairu was busy preparing the reunion dinner. Looking at the children and cousin who were eating happily, she felt a little dreamy.

Without Jia Zhang's presence, her life seemed to be much better, which gradually tilted the balance in Qin Huairu's heart.

She used to think that Jia Zhang could at least help take care of the children, but now it seems that she does more harm than good. The biggest problem is not laziness. In fact, Jia Zhang is not that lazy and can still do housework.

She was just greedy and ate too much. She ate as much as Qin Huairu and her three children. Otherwise, how do you think that old woman Jia Zhang could eat so much in such a good year...

Qin Huairu is not short of money now. The only thing she lacks is a pillar. Although she is the pillar of the Jia family now, Qin Huairu is not a strong type by nature. It is difficult for her to support a complete family. She just wants to find a helper.

It can be seen from movies and TV shows that they play double act with their mother-in-law at home and rely on Shazhu for support outside. They have to rely on something to some extent. This phenomenon is actually a manifestation of insecurity.

Now Qin Huairu suddenly found that she seemed to lack nothing. There is a saying that goes, "When you are full, you will think about sex." Qin Huairu was not hungry and thirsty, but now that she was full and had no worries, she naturally had to consider the issues of the second half of her life.

Therefore, when people have worries, it is actually because they have nothing to do.

When you are hungry, you only have one worry. When you are full, your worries increase immediately...

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was Qin Jingru's words that planted a seed in her.

She is less than 30 years old now. Does she really have to be a widow for the rest of her life?
