Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Zhou Zheng continued to divide the watermelon, one piece for Tian Xinyue, one piece for He Yushui, and finally his own piece.

This watermelon is produced in the small space world. Compared with the watermelons in the real world, its sweetness and taste are undoubtedly much better.

Tian Xinyue and He Yushui always eat without any special feelings.

But Yu Li is different. She has only eaten watermelon a few times in her life.

It was the first time for her to eat such delicious watermelon from Zhou Zheng’s house. When the sweet watermelon juice burst in her mouth, she exclaimed in surprise before she could swallow it.

“This watermelon is so delicious.”

Yu Li's words couldn't help but evoke distant memories of Tian Xinyue and He Yushui.

I remember when I was with Brother Zhou and ate this kind of watermelon for the first time, they reacted like Yu Li.

But the world has changed, and after they learned about the existence of the small world in space, they no longer have this sense of wonder.

They did not laugh at Yu Li for being naive. Instead, they envied her innocence.

This is something that is difficult to buy with material things.

We only have one life. Once it is lost, it is lost and can never be found again.

"If it's delicious, eat more. There's another one over there. You may not have enough."

Yu Li nodded slightly and ate the watermelon in small bites.

He Yushui patted Yu Li's shoulder and asked mysteriously, "Sister-in-law Yu Li, why did Old Man Yan invite my brother Zhou to dinner today? I don't have any other intentions, it's just Old Man Yan, you have been in the compound for such a long time, you should also understand that it is rare to see him invite outsiders to dinner."

Faced with He Yushui's question, Yu Li suddenly thought of what she had overheard during the day, and a flash of embarrassment passed across her face.

"Ah, this..."

Seeing Yu Li hesitating, He Yushui realized that Yan Fugui might have something to ask of Zhou Zheng, so she curled her lips and said, "Well, seeing that you are so embarrassed, I probably guessed the answer."

Tian Xinyue frowned and analyzed: "There's nothing that needs help at Teacher Yan's house, right?"

She looked at Yu Li and asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, you haven't worked yet, right?"

Yu Li nodded slightly, then quickly shook her head and said, "I am unemployed, but this is not what my father-in-law should be talking about."

He Yushui felt curious when he heard what Yu Li said.

"What's that?"

Yu Li raised her head slightly, stole a glance at Zhou Zheng, and then slowly said, "They didn't tell me, but I secretly heard it at noon. The research institute over at Yuhe Road should belong to Zhou Zheng, right? My father-in-law just wanted to ask if the felled trees over there are no longer needed. He wants to pull them back for burning."

There is no forest protection at that time. If you want to get firewood, you can go to the suburbs of Beijing.

The residents of the old Sijiu City were the same. Every spring, they would push carts to Changping to chop firewood.

Later, burning coal became popular and fewer people went to chop wood.

Tian Xinyue also thought of this and couldn't help but ask questions.

"Your family still burns firewood. If you need firewood, don't you go to Changping to get some trees? There's no need to ask my Hanqing for help for such a small matter."

A hint of bitterness appeared on Yu Li's face.

She also couldn't figure out what Yan Fugui was thinking.

Zhou Zheng clapped his hands and said, "It's just a small matter. You don't need to treat me to a meal. If you want to go and take it, just take it back. It needs to be cleaned up over there too."

Having said that, he thought of the fallen trees over there.

These trees are small and as thick as arms, and it is not difficult to use them as firewood.

This made him feel speechless, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"It should be more than just this. Your father-in-law is a man who does not do anything without profit. It is not worth it for him to treat me to a meal for such a small matter. Is there something else you haven't mentioned, Sister Yu Li?"

Yu Li shook her head gently.

"That's all I heard, nothing else."

Tian Xinyue said: "Hanqing, why don't you go and have a look? Otherwise, it won't be a good idea for Teacher Yan to worry about it. But no matter what it is, if it works, do it, if it doesn't, don't do it."

Zhou Zheng nodded and stood up.

"Okay, I'll go over there."

At this time, Yu Li had finished eating the watermelon in her hand. Seeing Zhou Zheng stand up, she also stood up hurriedly.

"Let's go."

As he spoke, he walked out of the pavilion, and Yu Li followed closely.

When their figures were completely submerged in the flowers, He Yushui pouted and complained, "Sister Xinyue, you don't care about Brother Xiao Zhou. Now he has started to think about other people's wives. How can this be tolerated?"

Tian Xinyue shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently in English: "If you can do it, go ahead."

He Yushui's face fell, and he whispered, "Well, I'd better go see the child."

At first, the small space world needed to be kept secret from several women. Later, when it no longer needed to be kept secret, the space villa became the place where they raised their children.

Nianqing was already six years old, and Lou Xiao'e sent her to a nursery.

But Yuanchen and Yuanjin were only three years old and were taken care of in the space villa.

This needs to be explained. Zhou Zheng’s small space world has such a mechanism.

Objects can be transported at will, but living people cannot.

For example, Lou Xiao'e has a car, and she puts the car in the small space world. Then any member who has the key to the magic villa can take out the car at any time.

But if Lou Xiao'e receives Nian Qing into the space villa, members who have the key to the villa can only enter the space villa to visit Nian Qing, but cannot take Nian Qing out of the space villa, otherwise the space villa will be too "BUG".

Nianqing was brought into the space villa by Lou Xiaoe, and can only be taken out by Lou Xiaoe.

Nian Qing, who was taken out by Lou Xiao'e, will appear with Lou Xiao'e in front of the entrance to the space villa.

In this case, it would be most appropriate to take care of the children in the space villa. No matter who enters the space villa, they can see the children.

Of course, there is still a little problem with it.

For example, Lou Xiao'e brought Nian Qing into the space villa. Before Nian Qing came out of the space villa, Lou Xiao'e could not return to reality. There are gains and losses.

Therefore, the person who stayed in the space villa the longest was Lou Xiao'e.

After saying this, He Yushui walked back to the room angrily, then quickly entered the space villa.

Tian Xinyue was the only one left in the yard. She looked up at the night sky and sighed softly.

"Ugh!"

At this time, Zhou Zheng and Yu Li had already arrived at Yan Fugui's house.

There is an octagonal table in the main hall of Yan Fugui's house, and on it there are four dishes, namely, smashed cucumber, stir-fried loach, stewed potatoes with beans, and eggplant with garlic.

There was also an opened bottle of Fenjiu on the table, if my guess was correct.

This bottle should be the legendary one with "water mixed with wine", which made Zhou Zheng lose his appetite instantly.

He hadn't originally intended to have dinner at Yan Fugui's house.

But Yan Fugui's behavior made it somewhat tolerable.

How to say it, it was expected yet unexpected.

Yu Li was also quite embarrassed. She had never felt so awkward about the four dishes on the table as she did today.

"That……"

She was about to speak, but Yan Fugui spoke first: "Come on, Zhou Zheng, would you like to drink with me?"
