Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

The third master came personally carrying the pot. After he arrived, he felt relieved when he saw the steward's half-smile.

Hearing Zhang Xingwang pretending to cook the meat and take the rest away, the Third Master snorted in dissatisfaction. After all, the Third Master was a prominent figure, so it was not right for him to always have others cook for him.

The steward became anxious when he saw this, and quickly crossed his legs and whispered something to him. Then the Third Master changed his fighting attitude to standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the cleaned half roe deer with a twinkling eye, and replied loudly, "Only this time", and then carried the roe deer into the kitchen.

The manager was also trying to smooth things over, saying in a serious tone:

"Don't think too much about it. You know the stubborn temper of the Third Master. Ever since the two pots were lost, he has been suspicious every day. Recently, he has been hanging around the old man and the young man for no reason, fearing that something bad might happen to his last treasure. He said that he would either find another one as a backup or find a good family for the pot..."

Zhang Xingwang forced a smile and replied with his back teeth bitten:

"Then what's going on with them?"

The manager looked at Liu Lan who came in to help in the kitchen and the little girl hanging on Zhang Xingwang's legs and calling him daddy, and replied quietly:

"The pot didn't get lost when the fourth lady came last time. The third master thought that the three old men might have been too masculine, so he wanted to have more women to balance it out, so he asked someone to call them here."

"Can't you two afford to play?"

The steward chuckled, looking like a professional, and replied to the kitchen with a pout:

"Don't worry, she is a widow after all. My brother and I are both experienced people, and we have explained the interests to her clearly. From now on, I will let my grandson deliver the food here every now and then.

You don't have to show up. When the time comes, just tell my grandson what she wants and let him run errands. After all, now is not the time to tell the fourth girl. You just listen to me on this matter. This must be done..."

Zhang Xingwang felt a little distressed after hearing this. Were these two old brothers a little too enthusiastic? It was obvious that they were causing trouble for him. He would have to explain this to Liu Lan later. Fortunately, he thought that these two brothers didn’t know Yu Li…

Liu Lan looked very happy today, and she was even happier looking at her daughter in Zhang Xingwang's arms. He was indeed a person from the kitchen of a big factory, and he was so professional in serving tea and wine.

The manager started praising her right away. Even the Third Master nodded slightly with a stern face, acting like the head of the family, saying that Liu Lan was a good woman who knew her limits. Zhang Xingwang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to explain.

While waiting for dinner, the two brothers felt a little regretful. After looking at each other, they both felt a headache. What they didn't expect was that this widow's mouth was no less than Zhang Xingwang's. She was very curious and seemed to have a loudspeaker. She was the more ferocious type who would make small talk.

After a while, the two brothers' heads were buzzing. Just when Liu Lan was gossiping about whether the manager had ever practiced dancing, the manager couldn't hold it anymore and kicked Zhang Xingwang under the table. The two brothers had the same expression at this time, and their cloudy old eyes revealed the same message:

"Hurry up and make this woman quiet down. I'll give her a good beating when I get home tonight..."

Zhang Xingwang was happy to see this happen, and answered for the steward in a serious manner, saying that Old Sixth Master had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and had been doing it day after day for decades...

After hearing this, the two brothers changed their strategy decisively. The Third Master was obviously in a bad mood recently. He interrupted Liu Lan's chatter with a cold snort, raised his glass and motioned for everyone to take a break.

The terrifying look was also given to Liu Lan, the meaning was very clear, he wanted her to experience the horror of the drinking culture, but Liu Lan accepted it all, raised her glass and drank it, and said that she was grateful for the Third Master and the Sixth Master's appreciation, and she would make sure the two brothers were drunk...

The manager raised his glass without backing down, raised his eyebrows and gave Zhang Xingwang an expression that said "just wait and see", then naturally smiled flatteringly and urged people to drink.

After three rounds of drinks, the Third Master saw Liu Lan preparing to raise his glass again as if nothing had happened, and he immediately let out a long sigh. He slowly stood up and looked up at the bright moon in the sky with a lonely look on his face, as if he was thinking of something that made him feel unhappy. He didn't speak for a long time.

The drunken steward got up and grabbed the Third Master's clothes, mumbling to him to stop pretending to be depressed. He really couldn't handle this woman by himself. He knew she was not easy to deal with since the day they met...

He dragged the Third Master down by force and started nagging him, saying things like "we all share the same difficulties". The Third Master could only raise his glass voluntarily again, and he kept snorting coldly.

By the time Liu Lan took out the lunch box that had been prepared long ago and skillfully started packing it under Zhang Xingwang's instructions, the two old brothers had already fallen asleep peacefully on the table.

The little girl, who was not sure whether she was sleeping soundly or was intoxicated by the liquor, woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Zhang Xingwang in a daze. Then she changed to a comfortable position in Zhang Xingwang's arms and fell asleep peacefully.

As expected of someone who came from a big factory, Liu Lan packed the things skillfully and washed the pots and pans in a short while.

Looking at Zhang Xingwang who looked like nothing had happened, he smoothed the hair by his ears and said nonchalantly that he had been washing his daughter's feet every day recently and his skills in this regard had improved a lot. He shyly asked him if he wanted to try.

Zhang Xingwang's mouth twitched, looking at the well-behaved little girl in his arms, wondering if this woman thought she was easy to bully. If the child wasn't there, you'd be done for if I didn't stab you...

"We will be brother and sister from now on. After all, she calls me godfather, and I will support her."

Liu Lan was stunned after hearing this, then she threw her mind behind her and replied without hesitation:

"You can call me that if you want, but I...sister, I'm really good at washing feet. You'll know when you try it when you get home."

Seeing Zhang Xingwang staring in amazement without replying for a long time, Liu Lan became anxious and continued to speak a lot in a crying voice.

Anyway, the mother and daughter were helpless, and she accepted them as siblings, but it was the rule to exchange steamed buns for steamed buns, so that the relationship would last. Otherwise, what would happen to the mother and daughter if Zhang Xingwang was in a bad mood or thought that she was all talk and no action and gave up?

Liu Lan was a person who could comfort herself. She didn't wait for Zhang Xingwang to answer and said to herself that since the Third Master had already talked to her, she just had to be prepared at all times and she would continue to work hard to improve herself in foot washing.

As she said this, she took the lunch box and hugged the little girl and left, and threatened that she would not let go of this relief. In summary, sister will leave the light on for you...

Liu Lan, holding the lunch box, not only ran very fast, but also kept talking all the time, leaving Zhang Xingwang no chance to interrupt. He had to hold back the words "wash it if you want to".
