Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

As the saying goes, the stupid ones are afraid of the aggressive ones, and the aggressive ones are afraid of the desperate ones. It is just like this.

The three uncles felt that Zhou Zheng was not very emotionally stable and decided to retreat. After saying a few meaningless words, they waited until Zhou Zheng put away his gun before leaving the East Courtyard.

Zhou Zheng also quickly bolted the door and let out a breath.

Xu Jianjun consoled him, "Hanqing, are you okay? Why don't you stay at my house today? I feel like this is dangerous!"

Wan Jingliang also frowned: "The manager of your courtyard is too shameless!"

Zhou Zheng shrugged his shoulders. "Don't worry about them for now. Didn't Aunt Hu from the military compound say she would come over tonight? Don't worry, it's okay! By the way, you guys have to help me buy some cornmeal or something. My family's stock was eaten up by the funeral banquet."

Xu Jianjun laughed: "Haha, we are all brothers, why be polite, I am familiar with shopping, my aunt works at the grain station, we don't have to queue up!"

Wang Shengli looked up at the sky and said sadly, "Tsk, it's probably going to rain, is it still in time to go now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked up at the sky.

The sky was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain.

Zhao Jianguo said with considerable experience: "Well! It's okay, it's just terribly cloudy, and it won't rain for a while. I have experience with this! Anyway, the grain station is not far away, we can come back soon, it won't delay anything!"

Liang Chaowei hesitated and said: "This..."

Xu Jianjun frowned: "What's the matter? What's wrong?"

Tony Leung Chiu Wai smiled awkwardly: "I won't go with you! My mother might be back by now, if she sees that I'm not at home..."

Wan Jingliang snorted coldly: "You are the only one who is so troublesome! Can I beat you to death? We are all adults, men! Do you understand?"

Zhou Zheng didn't want to get upset over such a small matter, so he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Forget it, forget it! We know Chao Wei's fucking situation. If he was beaten up, it's not worth it just for such a small matter!"

Then he said to Tony Leung Chiu Wai: "It's okay, Chiu Wai! You can go back soon!"

Tony Leung's eyes were a little red. He was probably uncomfortable with Wan Jingliang's moral blackmail, and felt guilty about Zhou Zheng's magnanimity.

Xu Jianjun quickly changed the subject: "Then don't just stand there, I have a cart at home, let's hurry up, it won't rain soon! We are not afraid of getting wet, but the crops will get damp if it rains!"

Everyone agreed with Xu Jianjun's point of view.

"go!"

"Let's go!"

After leaving the yard, Zhou Zheng locked the newly installed gate and went to Xu Jianjun's house next door to borrow a cart.

Xu Jianjun's mother was at home. When she saw a group of children coming in, she enthusiastically invited everyone to drink water.

"Classmate Jianjun, come in and have a drink of water!"

Xu Jianjun said impatiently, "Mom! Stop busying yourself. We are here to get the cart. Hanqing's food has been destroyed by the beasts in that yard. We need to go to the grain station to buy some food for Hanqing. If we delay any longer, it will rain, and Hanqing will starve."

Xu Jianjun's mother was still unconvinced and muttered, "Why don't you drink a glass of water? Why are you so impatient?"

Before entering the house, Xu Jianjun pushed out the cart next to the firewood pile.

"Oh, Mom! Wait until we get back!"

He then said to Zhou Zheng and the others, "Let's go!"

Xu Jianjun's mother couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xu Jianjun acting like a little adult, and she didn't forget to give him some advice.

"Slow down on the road!"

"Got it, Mom!"

On the way, Wang Shengli said with emotion: "Jianjun, you are really impressive at home!"

Xu Jianjun said proudly: "Of course! After all, I am an adult!"

Wan Jingliang said proudly: "That's because you didn't go to my house. I have more face at home. My father will agree to whatever I say!"

He is the child of a leader, and no one can refute what he says. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Looking at this group of friends, Zhou Zheng felt that his mentality also improved. He looked at them with gratitude and thought to himself: "Just wait, they treat me as a brother, I can't let them down!"

Tony Leung Chiu Wai left the team at the fork in the road. His home is on Gulou East Street, not far away, but not too close either.

The nearest grain station was near Yuantong Temple. Several people were pushing a cart along the alley. The team of seven people would glance at any passerby they met.

This made Xu Jianjun and his men feel very proud. They walked forward with pride and confidence, speaking loudly, and the main word they spoke was "arrogant".

Luoguxiang is the place with the strongest Beijing flavor in the old city. Zhou Zheng walked and looked along the way, and found the weight and vicissitudes of history everywhere.

As if I am proud of it!

Soon we arrived at the grain station! The grain station is actually the name of the former grain and oil store after the public-private partnership.

The store is not big, and the front is covered with a rainproof tarpaulin.

Several shop assistants in work clothes were busy weighing food for customers.

Xu Jianjun parked the car at the door and shouted into the store: "Auntie!"

As soon as the voice fell, a girl in her 20s with a ponytail turned around and smiled at Xu Jianjun: "Xiaojun! Did your dad ask you to buy food again?"

Xu Jianjun didn't explain and just responded!

It was not until Zhou Zheng came to buy food himself later that he realized how effective Xu Jianjun’s lack of explanation was!

Let's put this matter aside. After Xu Jianjun's aunt weighed the grain, she gave them some more instructions before letting them leave. Naturally, the money for the grain was paid by Xu Jianjun. After they were far away, Zhou Zheng gave the money to Xu Jianjun.

I don’t think Zhou Zheng got much advantage at all!

On the contrary, Xu Jianjun felt that this was particularly impressive.

At that time, food was not so tight, and a total of 50 kilograms of corn flour and 10 kilograms of white flour were sold!

When you get home and mix the two kinds of flour together, it becomes "two-mixed noodles". This is how it is eaten, and Zhou Zheng has no objection.

In fact, he just wanted to buy white flour, but he felt it was not appropriate.

There's no need to be so pretentious. If others can eat this way, Zhou Zheng can eat this way too.

As soon as the food was delivered to the home, sleet came, which made everyone feel lucky.

Calming down, Zhou Zheng felt that this day was like a dream. He came to this world inexplicably. There were beasts that wanted to eat his entire family, and there were also buddies with whom he had a good relationship. He didn't know what to feel.

He Yushui was responsible for boiling a kettle of water. Fortunately, the tea leaves left by Zhou Yunhai at home were not stolen.

Everyone sat at the dining table drinking tea and chatting, feeling as if they were discussing state affairs.

After making the tea, the diligent He Yushui also steamed some steamed buns made of dough. The heartwarming scene unfolded, making people want to cry.

Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth and made up his mind secretly.

"We must live a unique life in this era."

Outside the house, the sleet fell softly and soon turned into snowflakes as big as goose feathers. The small courtyard was silent.

It was March, not long after the Chinese New Year.

I don’t know if this is the last snow.

After the steamed buns were done, Zhou Zheng took out a jar of pickles from the bowl rack according to his memory and said apologetically, "Brothers, everyone knows the situation at home. I didn't have time to buy vegetables. There are only some pickles left at home. Brothers, just have a bite."

Wan Jingliang said arrogantly: "Oh! Why are you being polite? We are all brothers!"

Zhou Zheng smiled awkwardly: "Okay! Then don't be polite, just eat! To be honest, wontons are delicious, but they won't fill you up. I've been hungry for a long time."

Zhao Jianguo grinned: "Tsk! You're talking as if no one is hungry. I was hungry when I was repairing the door."

Zhou Zheng smiled kindly. They were all young boys. As the saying goes, "Young boys can eat their fathers to death." It's nothing more than that.

Wang Shengli took a bite of the steamed bread and a bite of pickled vegetables, and said with emotion: "Don't look at Yu Shui's young age, he is a master at cooking. It tastes better than the steamed bread my mother makes, but the pickled vegetables are not as good."

Zhou Zheng was a little embarrassed, thinking: "It's strange that this pickle is delicious! You know, it was made by the undead wizard Jia Zhang, oh!"

In this courtyard, it was not uncommon for Jia Zhang to make pickles and exchange them for food from others.

As far as Compound No. 95 is concerned, it would be strange if any family didn’t have a jar of Jia Zhang’s pickles!

However, Zhou Zheng secretly swore that he would never let Jia Zhang take advantage of his family again.
