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

Siheyuan.

"Old Liu, you bought a lot of things today."

Since it was Mid-Autumn Festival, Yan Bugui didn't need to go to class, so he went fishing early in the morning.

However, we returned after fishing for less than two hours.

Because Yan Bugui felt that the neighbors who went out to buy things should be back soon.

Just when I put the fish I caught into the basin, I saw Liu Haizhong coming back.

He was carrying meat, noodles, and vegetables in his hands, and there was also a bag that must have contained some snacks and mooncakes.

Seeing this situation, Yan Bugui trotted a few steps.

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'm planning to send some to the Jia family and the old lady."

Liu Haizhong now feels that it is a bit expensive to partner with these people.

However, I hope it is only temporary and we need to consider the long term.

As long as one has absolute control over this courtyard, it is not impossible for him to become an advanced individual representative and hold some official position.

"I see you bought a lot, give me some..."

Yan Bugui thought that since things were prepared for the Jia family and the deaf old lady, it should be okay for him to ask for a little less.

But before he could finish his words, Liu Haizhong had already spoken.

"I also shared some chores with you."

"I think today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so let's hold a meeting for the whole hospital tonight and have a reunion."

"You will be responsible for telling everyone the story of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Isn't there a story about Chang'e flying to the moon?"

"You can tell me all these when the time comes."

Liu Haizhong understood Yan Bugui.

He was the only teacher in the courtyard and even in the nearby alleys.

As long as it involves something related to literature, he will stand up.

Naturally, I will not miss the opportunity to show myself.

"No problem, don't worry about it. I have a lot of stories. I'll sort them out later."

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, still with a hint of excitement.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'm at ease."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he quickly walked into the central courtyard.

"Hey, Lao Liu..."

By the time Yan Bugui reacted, the person had disappeared.

It’s not easy to chase after him and ask for it.

Yan Bugui pushed his glasses again, feeling a little regretful.

However, opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

People like Yan Bugui, who have nothing to do and just watch the people sweeping the yard at the gate, are naturally always prepared.

Just as he turned around, he found Yi Zhonghai and an old lady coming in. The things they were carrying in their hands were definitely much more than Liu Haizhong.

From afar, you can smell the aroma of sesame cakes and cooked meat.

"Old Yi, you guys..."

Yan Bugui ran back quickly and almost tripped.

"Old Yan, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, take these five cakes and share them with the kids."

Without waiting for Yan Bugui to make a request, Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to hand over five pancakes.

I'm happy!

"Ah, okay, okay, okay, thank you Lao Yi!"

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment.

This might be the easiest time in all these years that I have approached my neighbors at the door to ask for things.

No, it was not what I asked for. Yi Zhonghai gave it to me voluntarily.

Yan Bugui was almost moved to tears.

"Thank you for what!"

Yi Zhonghai left with a smile.

"Yan Bugui's mouth is almost crooked from laughing."

An auntie smiled and whispered.

"Of course. Who can he ask for five cakes?"

"We just want to build up some prestige for Bufan."

"From now on, you must remember all these good things and don't turn them over."

"You go home first. I'll send these sesame cakes and cooked meat to Bufan. That kid likes to eat pig heads."

After entering the Intermediate Court, Yi Zhonghai planned to part ways with Auntie.

"What's the hurry? I want to go too."

"Wait, put these down, I'll go with you to get the eggs and mooncakes, and bring the drinks as well."

An old lady also wanted to go and see Yi Bufan.

"Okay, let's go together!"

Yi Zhonghai had a smile on his face.

......

"Grandma, I saw Uncle Yi and his friends take several wild pigeons to Yi Bufan's house, along with some pig heads and mooncakes..."

Bang Geng walked in and looked at Jia Zhang and said.

"I saw it too. This family has so many things, but they didn't even think of giving some to our family."

"Give it all to Yi Bufan. Aren't you afraid that Yi Bufan will be stuffed to death?"

Jia Zhang also saw all this through the glass.

"Grandma, aren't we eating mooncakes today?"

Banggeng just came back from playing and looked around.

"Second uncle sent one over for dinner."

Jia Zhang curled her lips.

"Huai Ru, let's have some dumplings today."

At this time, Jia Zhang turned her head and looked at Qin Huairu who was feeding the baby.

"Okay!"

Qin Huairu didn't even raise her head.

"Then give me five dollars."

"I'm going to buy some meat and some noodles. We only have half a cabbage left. I'll also make some braised pork for Banggeng."

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu agreed, she hurriedly spoke.

Ever since the house was smashed by the deaf old lady last time, Qin Huairu rarely spoke to him.

Maybe the total number of words I say every day is less than three.

If Jia Zhang hadn't been afraid that her elder and younger brothers, Jia Lao and Jia Xiao, would come looking for her, she would have been scared a long time ago.

At least this period of time has to pass.

Jia Zhang felt that things were going wrong during this period and the negative energy was quite heavy.

"Spend the money you have first."

"I still have to save my money for Bangteng's tuition, and this little guy."

Qin Huairu still didn't look up.

It seemed as if he had already known that Jia Zhang would say these words.

"Ah, where do I have any money?"

He pretended that he naturally didn't want to pay. If he wanted to pay, would he need to discuss it with Qin Huairu?

"Then there's no need to buy them. Uncle Er said he would bring us some dumplings at noon anyway."

Qin Huairu didn't seem to care about any of this.

"OK then!"

Jia Zhang had no idea that Liu Haizhong originally wanted to invite Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady and the people from the Jia family to his home to eat dumplings together.

However, thinking about the fact that Jia Zhang and the deaf old lady had a very bad relationship before, she decided to give up.

"What about the meat?"

Banggeng looked at Qin Huairu and the deaf old lady.

"When mom starts working and earns a salary, she will buy you some meat."

"If we buy meat now, we may not be able to afford food."

Qin Huairu also knew that the family had no income now, so the money had to be saved to buy food.

If it were in the past, I might have hoped to ask Yi Zhonghai for help, or even ask Sha Zhu for help.

But now Qin Huairu didn't dare to guarantee that she could really get help from Yi Zhonghai.

As for Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu felt that Jia Zhang was more useful.

"Don't worry, Banggeng. We can ask other people for meat later."

Jia Zhang had already thought about it.

It’s Mid-Autumn Festival after all.

There are quite a few people eating meat in this yard.

Bang Geng comes to your house and asks for meat, so you have to give him some.

Otherwise it won’t look good.
