Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Xu Damao said to Wang Erzhuzi with some displeasure, "Hey, I'm Erzhuzi, you don't know how to appreciate kindness! I'm just giving you some advice because you're already in your 20s and don't know what it's like to be with a woman. If you don't trust me, you can think of other ways!"

Wang Erzhuzi smiled at the side. Xu Damao's wife Zhang Li came back at that moment. Zhang Li had a lot of things in her hands. Xu Damao hurried over. Zhang Li frowned and said, "What are you talking about with Wang Erzhuzi?" In fact, Zhang Li looked down on people like Wang Erzhuzi.

Xu Damao chuckled and said, "Hey, it's nothing, uh, just chatting. I've already made an appointment with He Yuzhu tonight, and the two of us will go to their house for dinner tonight." Zhang Li immediately became happy when she heard that. Naturally, she also admired He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

The couple walked towards their home while chatting, which made Wang Erzhuzi very envious. He was really envious of Xu Damao, who had parents to support him and married a daughter-in-law with such a rich family. Wang Erzhuzi, however, had to rely on himself no matter what he did.

Wang Erzhuzi sighed helplessly, thinking how great it would be if he had such a wife. In fact, he also knew that his conditions were very poor, and it would be very good to find a rural wife in this life. Wang Erzhuzi thought about it and whispered, "Well, never mind, let's try it according to Xu Damao's method. I'm already in my 20s, and I still don't know what it's like to have a woman? I must try some meat, otherwise I will be laughed at by those guys."

Wang Erzhuzi returned home and found a bath ticket in the drawer. He took two tickets and prepared to take a bath first, then go to the Eight Great Hutongs to enjoy himself. He closed the door and locked it, and Liu Haizhong happened to see this scene.

Liu Haizhong came over with a big belly and started to lecture him. He said in a commanding manner, "Hey, Erzhuzi, our courtyard is an excellent courtyard. Who are you guarding against by locking it? Open the padlock quickly and go out by yourself. The neighbors in the courtyard will help you keep an eye on them. Do you still think that all the neighbors in our courtyard are thieves?"

Wang Erzhuzi just thought that since He Yuzhu's house was locked, he should also lock his own house. He didn't expect to be criticized by Liu Haizhong like this. He wanted to refute a few more sentences, but then he remembered that he didn't give Liu Haizhong face some time ago, and later he was more or less targeted in the steel rolling mill. Wang Erzhuzi realized that he couldn't afford to offend Liu Haizhong, so he nodded, opened the lock and put the padlock inside the house, and then left the house.

Liu Haizhong felt like a general who had just fought a battle. How happy was his face? He even thought that if all the people in the courtyard listened to him, there would be more. Liu Haizhong was not stupid, but he was tricked by Yi Zhonghai in the original novel. After careful analysis, Liu Haizhong would also be able to analyze some of the things in the courtyard.

Wang Erzhuzi first went to the bathhouse to wash himself thoroughly, and felt refreshed. Then he wiped himself clean impatiently and went directly to the direction of Bada Hutong. In the corner of Bada Hutong, he saw a few beggars and handed them a few cigarettes with a smile.

In fact, although people were not able to get enough food in this era, the help from the country was very great. Except for some really lazy people who became beggars, there were no beggars in most areas. Everyone worked hard to improve their fate, and no one was willing to sell their dignity except when they had to flee famine and become beggars.

After Wang Erzhuzi explained his purpose, several beggars showed their yellow teeth. A middle-aged beggar smiled and said, "Who do you think you are? Come on, I'll take you to a place." In fact, these beggars sometimes act as pimps, and naturally have many unconventional skills.

When Qin Huairu came back with the child, she saw her husband busy in the kitchen. He Yuzhu said to his wife, "Xu Damao and his wife will also come tonight. Well, wife, make more staple food and rice."

Qin Huairu nodded quickly, and asked her daughter He Qingmei to do her homework while she helped her husband in the kitchen. After a while, the aroma of food wafted out of the He family's kitchen, making the children in each household in the courtyard cry.

This attracted a group of parents to come up with their special skill of stir-frying pork with belts, and finally the children in the courtyard settled down. The neighbors in the courtyard also resented He Yuzhu for making such delicious dishes. Why? Look how greedy their children are. But they dared not say anything. The men or sons in their families all worked in the steel mill. If they really offended this kid, what would they do in the steel mill?

In Yi Zhonghai's house, Bai Xiuying smelled a smell and her mouth was about to drool. Yi Zhonghai's face was so gloomy! He felt that this idiot Zhu was really too unreasonable? He made the food so delicious, what did he want to do? It would be fine if it was delicious, but why didn't he send some to him, the old man in charge, to let him taste it.

Yi Zhonghai slapped the table and said, "This idiot, this fool, is really too outrageous. He really makes me angry. He really makes me angry."
