Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

After saying hello to Uncle Wang, Jiang Feng left the street office, checked the time, got on his bike and rode towards the courtyard. When he got home, He Yushui had already returned and was reading a book in the house. Jiang Feng walked over to take a look. He saw that the book he was reading was How the Steel Was Tempered, written by Soviet writer Nikolai Ostrovsky. He nodded. Now was a period of cooperation between the two countries, and these books could cultivate a person's sentiments, so it would be nice to read them.

When He Yushui saw Jiang Feng coming back, he also put down his book and pulled Jiang Feng to say, "Cousin, I went to Xiaolan's house, Wang Xiaohu's house, and Li Jianjun's house today. They were so envious of me for being able to ride a bicycle and wanted to learn from me."

"Did Yu Shui ride a bicycle with his friends?"

"Of course I have. I'm not such a stingy person. I took them to learn how to ride a bike. They learned it in almost the morning. I have to go again in the afternoon." He Yushui raised his head and said proudly.

"Okay, then our Master He Yushui must work hard to teach the kids how to ride a bicycle."

"Of course, cousin, what are we having for lunch?" He Yushui said proudly, but then the subject turned back to food.

"You little greedy cat, I'll go see what to cook."

Jiang Feng turned around and went into the kitchen, looking at the dishes in the kitchen. Today he wanted to keep it simple, just some scrambled eggs with tomatoes, some stir-fried meat with shredded potatoes, and some rice.

After about half an hour, Jiang Feng brought the dishes. The rice was not much cooked, so one bowl was enough for each person. Just as the two were eating, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Feng got up and opened the door, and saw Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai standing outside the door.

Jia Dongxu saw Jiang Feng coming out and said, "Jiang Feng, I have collected enough money. Please give me the letter of apology."

Jiang Feng looked at the two of them and made way for the door: "Come in and sit down. I'm eating. Let's talk after I finish my meal."

The two had no choice but to go into the house and find a stool to sit down. After a while, Jiang Feng and He Yushui finished their meal. After He Yushui cleaned up the table, Jiang Feng took out two pieces of written letter paper and handed one to Jia Dongxu: "Take a look. If it looks okay, sign and fingerprint the compensation agreement. After that, I will sign the letter of understanding."

Jia Dongxu looked at it carefully, and then gave it to Yi Zhonghai. The two looked at each other, and Jia Dongxu said, "Everything else is fine, but you don't need to confirm the time to send my mother back to the countryside. After all, she is elderly, and life in the countryside is not good. If she gets sick, I will definitely pick her up."

"Aren't the illnesses all up to you? Would I still take her for a checkup? I don't care about that. You can think about it yourself. Even if she is sick, she can't go back to the hospital. I don't want to see her. Besides, the time I set is not long, just one year. It will pass quickly. In one year, you will know the benefits of your mother returning to the countryside."

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu looked at each other, not quite understanding what Jiang Feng meant. Jiang Feng looked at them and said, "I am doing this for your own good. The biggest expense of the Jia family is on Jia Zhang. If she goes back, even if you give her all this money, or even a little more, you two will not have a bad life at home with Bang Geng. And with Jia Zhang's personality, when Bang Geng grows up a little, he will just learn from his grandmother."

After saying that, he looked at Yi Zhonghai meaningfully. There is a hidden benefit. When Jia Zhang goes back, isn't it the time for you, Yi Zhonghai, to show your skills? When Jia Zhang was around, even if you cared about her, there was a limit. When Jia Zhang went back, it would be good for both the Yi and Jia families, as well as for the people in the courtyard. Now Jiang Feng is the bad guy, and it was he who forced Jia Zhang to go back to the countryside. Jia Dongxu can't be blamed for what others say.

Yi Zhonghai reacted and said to Jia Dongxu, "There's nothing we can do. Just do as Xiaofeng said. Sign quickly. We still have to go to the police station."

After the two signed and changed their fingerprints, they handed the agreement to Jiang Feng, along with two hundred yuan. Jiang Feng took the money, counted it, signed his name at the bottom of the letter of understanding, and handed it to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu took the letter of apology, looked at Jiang Feng, didn't know what to say, nodded, and pulled Yi Zhonghai out.

He Yushui asked: "Cousin, why do you want to give her a letter of apology? Isn't it better to let her go to jail?"

Jiang Feng looked at He Yushui. If He Yuzhu would explain it to him, He Yushui would not need to. He is too young. Besides, I am here this time. You just need to live your life well and don't need to worry about the mess in the courtyard. He said to He Yushui, "Don't worry about adult matters. Go out and play after you are full. Don't run too far. I will go fishing in Shichahai this afternoon. You can find me there if you have any problems."

When He Yushui heard that they were going out to play, she completely forgot what had just happened. She ran back to her room, took some snacks, and ran away pushing her bike while saying "oh" to herself.

Seeing that He Yushui had also left, Jiang Feng tidied up the house, closed the door and went out. After walking a few steps, he stopped and saw that the curtains on the Jia family's windows were lowered. Jiang Feng did not look back and went straight to the front yard. He thought for a while in his room, took out his bicycle, picked up his fishing gear and went out.

Qin Huairu was startled when Jiang Feng stopped. She was hiding in the house with her heart pounding. She originally just wanted to see what Jiang Feng was doing. In fact, there were people passing by in the yard, and people often glanced through the window, but no one said anything. It might also be because Jiang Feng asked her family for two hundred yuan today, and she was really heartbroken, so she wanted to stare and see what he would do.

Jiang Feng ignored it. You said that Qin Huairu did have ambiguous relationships with many men in her later years in exchange for food. That was because Jia Dongxu died. Now Jia Dongxu is alive and well. Qin Huairu will not let the Jia family down. In fact, the biggest beneficiary of sending Jia Zhang back to the countryside is Qin Huairu. No one in the family will talk about her anymore, no one will hinder her, and it will be easier to control her. The couple's life will not be watched by Jia Zhang anymore. The room is small to begin with, and if there is a little noise, she is worried that her mother-in-law will hear it.

Now that Jia Zhang is leaving, with Qin Huairu's ability, at least the relationship between the neighbors in the courtyard will be much better. She is hardworking, kind, filial to her mother-in-law, and a good hand at home and outside. This is the impression that people in the courtyard have of Qin Huairu now. Jiang Feng will not look down on the current Qin Huairu because of what happened later. To put it bluntly, she was sorry to Sha Zhu, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Feng. Now, as long as the relationship between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu is severed, the things that happened later will not happen at all. Once Sha Zhu gets married and has children, I don't believe Qin Huairu can turn the world upside down.

Jiang Feng arrived at Shichahai, found a place, put down a small stool, picked up the bait, hooked it, swung the rod, put on a straw hat, and sat down.

Jiang Feng has had basic fishing skills for several years. After several years of practicing from time to time, although there are no tasks to advance, Jiang Feng estimates that he should have reached the intermediate level. It seems that the skills rewarded by the system can be upgraded by frequent use.

Now, every time you go out, you basically come back empty-handed. People at this time don't like to make bait when fishing. Well, they originally go out to fish to improve their lives. The food at home is limited, so how can they bear to feed the fish? Jiang Feng uses the skills given by the system to make bait first every time he goes fishing. If he has food on hand, he can just soak rice in wine. Later, when he saw how others fished, he gradually stopped making bait. This is not the time to be independent and special.

However, thanks to Jiang Feng's increasingly skilled fishing skills, his empty hands were still a minority. The Third Uncle had followed him a few times before, trying to take advantage of him, but Jiang Feng would just maintain, "If you want to follow me, then follow me. I don't need your help with anything." Given the Third Uncle's personality, he wouldn't force it.

After fishing for more than three hours, there were already two large and three small fish in the bucket. It seemed that he could have another dinner in the evening. At this time, Jiang Feng looked at the time and thought it was almost time to cook, so he started to pack up his things, loaded his bicycle, and slowly rode back to the courtyard.

When Jiang Feng came back, he saw He Yushui had already returned and the car was parked at the door. Jiang Feng went to the ear room to check. She was probably tired from playing and was still sleeping. He didn't call her. He went back to the room and put everything away. Then he took out the fish and looked at it. He decided to cook fish for dinner tonight. He used the two big fish heads to cook tofu, the fish bodies to make sweet and sour fish, and the small ones to fry. They would have a whole fish feast tonight.

Jiang Feng took the bucket and went to the pool. In a short while, he killed all the fish. Only a fish bladder was left in their stomachs, and the rest was thrown away. He went back to the house to knead flour. The family now eats white flour. Although it is called white flour, the flour at that time is not like the white flour of later generations. The white flour now is also gray. In fact, it is because the shells were not removed cleanly and the shells were crushed into the flour. But it is much better than corn flour.

After kneading the dough, cover it and wait for it to ferment. Jiang Feng then began to prepare seasonings such as ginger and garlic. After sitting for a while, he boiled water and steamed the buns. He boiled water in a stew pot on a small stove and put the fish head in when the water boiled. Sliced ​​tofu was also put into the pot. Salt, ginger, garlic and other seasonings were added, and the lid was covered to let it cook slowly. There is a saying that tofu should be cooked a thousand times and fish should be cooked ten thousand times, which means it will taste good only if it is cooked for a long time. When the pot started to boil, he sealed the air vents of the stove and simmered it on low heat. At this time, the buns were almost done. Jiang Feng looked at the fire and ignored it since there was not much left. He left the kitchen and sat there waiting for someone to come back.

At this time, another comrade from the police station came to the yard. They were the same two comrades from last time. They found Jiang Feng and mainly asked about the letter of apology, that is, whether the letter of apology was written voluntarily. Jiang Feng clearly replied yes, and the two left.

Some people outside had already left work one after another. He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Liu Haizhong had also returned. When Jiang Feng saw He Yuzhu coming back, he handed over the kitchen chores to him, went to the ear room to call He Yushui to get up, and sat in the living room waiting for dinner.

Jiang Feng usually prepares the evening dishes and waits for He Yuzhu to come back to cook. If He Yuzhu hasn't returned by the time, it means the factory is hosting a party and Jiang Feng will cook himself.

He Yuzhu turned over the fish head stewed in the stove, and the aroma immediately rose. He picked up the steamed buns and lit the fire. Soon, both dishes were ready. He Yushui also came to the living room and waited for dinner.

While they were eating, Jiang Feng told He Yuzhu what happened today. Anyway, he didn't hear any noise from next door because he was cooking fish today. It seems that whether the courtyard is messy or not is up to Jia Zhangshi to decide.
