Siheyuan: This is really immoral

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll just ask Uncle San for help with this kind of thing from now on, it won't be a problem!"

After Lin Zhuang returned to the house, Ran Qiuye had already turned on the radio. Seeing Lin Zhuang coming back, she said.

"Brother Linzhuang, your radio has such clear sound, and it finds channels quickly. It's so new!"

“I just bought it.”

Lin Zhuang said to him as he walked towards the kitchen.

"You just took out a basin of fish. Did you take it out to pickle it for Teacher Yan?"

"Yes, those fish are dying. If we don't kill them, they will stink."

"You sit and play for a while, I'll make lunch."

Hearing Lin Zhuang's words, Ran Qiuye immediately stood up from his seat and said.

"let me help you."

Lin Zhuang was shocked.

I haven't been home for many days. There is still some rice and flour at home, but apart from the rice and flour, there is only the fish I caught today.

He was planning to go to the kitchen and conjure some pork and eggs from the space. If he asked Ran Qiuye to come and help now, everything would be cold.

"No, no, there's no point in asking guests for help. Just sit there. There aren't many dishes. I'll be done in a moment."

I'm afraid this girl won't be so easy to obey.

So, Lin Zhuang immediately walked quickly into the kitchen.

When he got to the cabinet, he quickly took out a few eggs and a few pounds of pork belly from the space.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after stuffing everything into the cupboard.

Sure enough, just as I finished all this, I heard Ran Qiuye walking towards the kitchen.

Lin Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the door. When Ran Qiuye came in, he said with a hint of blame:

"Hey, Qiuye, didn't I tell you not to come in? The kitchen is too fumy."

Ran Qiuye rolled up his sleeves and was about to help.

"It's okay. I was just worried that you'd be bored cooking alone."

"Besides, it's not normal to let a man work alone in the kitchen."

After saying this, a warm scene appeared in Lin Zhuang’s kitchen.

Men and women are matched, so work is not tiring.

"Lunch is so sumptuous? How about saving the eggs for next time? There's no way the two of us can eat three meat dishes."

Before he finished speaking, Ran Qiuye wanted to go forward and put the egg back.

"No, no, just three dishes. It's a rare visit, so just listen to me."

Lin Zhuang knew that words were not enough...so he just snatched the egg back and talked to her.

"You usually have a hard time in school, so make up for it today."

After saying that, Lin Zhuang scratched her nose, then turned around and killed a crucian carp weighing more than two kilograms that he had caught. He did it cleanly and neatly, without the fish feeling any pain as it passed away.

After hollowing out the fish's belly and scraping off the scales, rinse it with water and then fry it in the pan.

After the fish soup was cooked, Lin Zhuang and Ran Qiuye prepared other dishes. They beat five eggs in a bowl and fry them in the pan later to make a quick dish.

I originally planned to make stir-fried pork with chili peppers, but there were no green vegetables at home, so I had to make braised pork which doesn't require much side dish.

After the fish soup is cooked, serve it on the table. The weather is so hot that it won’t get cold even if you leave it out for a while.

While the two were waiting for the braised pork to be cooked, Lin Zhuang chatted with her while looking at the firewood under the pot.

"..."

the other side.

Yan family.

"Hey, where did you get this basin of fish from? You didn't go fishing today."

"Even if you go out fishing, you can't catch so many, and they're this big."

When the third aunt saw Yan Bugui coming in with a basin, and after seeing clearly what was in the basin, she immediately gave him three critical hits.

Yan Bugui was in a good mood at first, but after being attacked by the third aunt, his face suddenly turned black and he said:

"This was caught by Lin Zhuang again. If I wasn't smart, who would have found such a good job? Do you know what Lin Zhuang paid us this time?"

"What is it?"

Hearing Yan Bugui's tantalizing words successfully aroused the curiosity of the three aunts.

"The good thing is...I won't tell you."

After saying that, Yan Bugui placed the basin in the hall and turned to walk out.

The three aunts were confused when they saw this.

It would have been fine if you didn't tell me, but why did you walk out of the house?

"You're not going to have lunch?"

"I'm going out to buy some salt. We'll have dinner when I come back."

After saying that, Yan Bugui rode his bicycle out of the door.

"..."

Lin Zhuangjia.

Lin Zhuang and Ran Qiuye sat facing each other.

On the table was a plate of tempting braised pork, fragrant fish soup, and a plate of golden fried egg pancakes.

Lin Zhuang said modestly: "Qiu Ye, our family is poor and the food is simple, so you have to make do with what you eat."

"What! Brother Linzhuang, you call this simple? Why don't we go see what people outside eat? The two of us eat such delicious food, with fish and meat. I couldn't eat it during the New Year before, okay?"

"For the past two years, all I've thought about is that if I can eat all-you-can-eat dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork during the Chinese New Year, I'll be satisfied."

Lin Zhuang looked at the emotional Ran Qiuye and was about to shout the slogan "Down with capitalism".

He quickly stopped her, put a piece of fat and lean pork belly into her bowl, and spoke to her.

"Don't be so loud, I'm just kidding you."

"Come, eat a piece of pork belly to calm your nerves."

"Brother Linzhuang is arguing with you. I don't usually eat like this. Aren't you here?"

Ran Qiuye then realized that he had lost his composure. He picked up the pork belly from the bowl and took a bite. The aroma of the meat filled his mouth and the satisfaction brought by the fat was irreplaceable.

"Hmm~"

Lin Zhuang thought to himself, is it possible that I can’t keep my mouth shut with delicious food?

"Qiuye, come and help me make dumplings for the New Year this year. I promise you will have more dumplings than you can eat."

When Ran Qiuye heard this, his eyes lit up and flashed with light.

"May I?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, his bright eyes dimmed and he spoke.

"This is too expensive. It costs too much. You might not be able to buy it even if you have money... And, Brother Linzhuang, I heard someone say at school last time that many places are experiencing severe droughts this year, which may be even more serious than the past two years. Food and other things may be increasingly scarce."

"Brother Linzhuang, I'm not sure whether this is true or just an exaggeration, but I think if you have enough money, you should keep more food at home and save as much as possible."

When Lin Zhuang heard this, he remembered that this year was the last year of the three-year natural disaster and it was an extremely serious year.

Those who suffer from drought will die from drought, and those who suffer from waterlogging will die from waterlogging.

No, I have to have dinner with Uncle Ye tonight and find out what’s going on.

Lin Zhuang's mind raced with thoughts, and his relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.
