Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Uncle, Dad!"

Xu Xiaoran felt that he should call him "Dad".

"Hey, Bufan, did you drink with your brother?"

Yi Zhonghai took a look and it seemed that he was not too drunk.

"I didn't drink much, just one bottle!"

Yi Bufan also responded softly.

"I just went there and your family wasn't there, so I guessed you were probably in the backyard."

"This is the brewed tea. It should be at the right temperature. Drink it when you get home. It will help you sober up. Otherwise, you might have a headache tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai handed over the big teapot and Yi Bufan held it in his arms.

This teacup can definitely hold instant noodles intact.

"Okay, Dad, you guys should go to bed early too."

Xu Xiaoran quickly thanked him, it was different with his father around.

"Do you want me to send him back?"

Yi Zhonghai also saw Lou Xiaoe helping to deliver it just now.

"No, it's just this short distance."

Xu Xiaoran didn't want to trouble Yi Zhonghai anymore.

"Okay, then slow down."

Yi Zhonghai watched the two people enter the house from outside before he turned around and left with peace of mind.

Qin Huairu saw what Yi Zhonghai did through the window, and she had never been so nice to Jia Dongxu.

"Big pig hooves!"

Xu Xiaoran screamed as soon as she helped Yi Bufan to the chair.

"I'm not a pig's hoof!"

Yi Bufan just took a sip of tea and found that it was at just the right temperature. It must have been brewed in advance.

"I'm not talking about you. I mean, the pig's trotters in this basin should be the ones your father brought over. They smell so good!"

Xu Xiaoran quickly went to get a spoon and chopsticks.

He first picked up a piece and put it into Yi Bufan's mouth.

"Well, it's well stewed, soft and delicious."

Yi Bufan nodded.

"Yes, if you drink some more soup, it will be delicious too!"

Xu Xiaoran scooped another spoonful of soup and put it into Yi Bufan's mouth.

"Well, it seems that my aunt, uh, mother's cooking skills are pretty good."

Yi Bufan smiled with satisfaction.

"They must have heard yesterday that we had never eaten stewed pig's trotters, so they stewed it and brought it over today."

"Ask your parents if they still want a daughter? I'm their daughter, but my parents aren't that nice."

Xu Xiaoran fed Yi Bufan a few more spoonfuls of soup.

"Are you stupid? Aren't you their daughter now?" Yi Bufan hugged Xu Xiaoran and said, "Isn't a wife a daughter?"

"If I had known I wouldn't have eaten at my brother's today. This food smells so good I can't eat anymore. I'm too full."

Xu Xiaoran looked at the big pig's trotter and smacked his lips a few times.

"You can eat it tomorrow. I'm not asking you to eat it all today."

"Just cover it and put it in the cupboard."

Yi Bufan thought that while Xu Xiaoran wasn't paying attention, he would put the pig's trotter in his personal space to keep it fresh and take it out tomorrow.

"Okay, you drink your tea first, and I'll fetch some water for washing your feet."

Xu Xiaoran got up and went to work.

"No need to wash your feet."

Yi Bufan took several sips of tea.

"Okay, then don't get on the kang and don't touch me."

Xu Xiaoran glared at Yi Bufan.

"Then you can't help it either...ah, I was wrong, I can't help it!"

Yi Bufan was almost strangled again.

"You know it and you're still telling me! Are you really not drunk?"

Xu Xiaoran was still a little worried.

"You'll know soon."

......

For a week, the yard was peaceful and Xu Damao returned home on time every day.

Xu Xiaoran and Yi Bufan are also extremely happy every day.

As for Yan Bugui, he was very happy that he didn't need to continue to increase income and reduce expenditure for the sake of those two dollars. However, he still had to try his luck at guarding the door and get a share of the spoils.

Moreover, I was lucky enough to get three eggs and a small piece of fatty pork skin this week.

As the second uncle, Liu Haizhong now has a very high prestige. Although the Jia family had been disrespectful to him many times before, everyone saw that he put aside the past and helped Jia Zhang to cure her illness.

Although I spent a lot of money and was cheated, at least I got some praise from everyone.

He is always smiling and ready to accept nods and greetings from neighbors.

However, when he came back from get off work today, he had a gloomy face.

"Old Liu is back!"

Yan Bugui greeted him as usual, but Liu Haizhong just said "hmm" and left.

Just when Yan Bugui was puzzled, the people who came back later gave the answer.

"The uncle is really amazing. He has become an eighth-level fitter. There are only three of them in our factory."

"No, there are only two level eight fitters left. One of them went to help build the border area last month."

"Yes, there are two now. Today, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, and other leaders went to congratulate them in person."

"Our yard will definitely benefit from this in the future."

"..."

"An old man has become an eighth-level fitter?"

Yan Bugui finally understood why Liu Haizhong had a gloomy face.

This eighth-level fitter is not only favored by the factory leaders, but also by the street office.

"Yes, I became an eighth-level fitter today. I will be notified in the afternoon."
