Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Yan Bugui looked at his eldest son in astonishment, and his staring expression made Yan Jiecheng feel a little uneasy.

"Dad, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Yan Bugui's anger turned into joy, and he nodded and said, "Good boy, my teaching you was not in vain."

The three uncles in charge of the courtyard are all outstanding among short people. It’s not that they are so outstanding, but the other neighbors are just worse.

This time is the same. If He Yuzhu wants to hold a big banquet in the courtyard, there are not many people he can entrust.

In fact, the only competitor Yan Bugui needs to pay attention to is Liu Haizhong. As long as he can deal with him, things will be easy.

“Uh, huh…”

Yan Jiecheng laughed dryly, looked at his father eagerly and said, "Dad, I have contributed a lot today. Shouldn't you..."

The Yan family members are all greedy and stingy, and they always think about getting benefits whenever they get the chance.

"Your father has always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you do well, I will definitely remember it.

When I get some profit, I'll give you half a steamed bun."

Yan Bugui immediately started to make a big promise.

"Ah, just half a steamed bun?

It's too little.

You have to give me an egg anyway."

The pie that Yan Bugui had drawn was really small, and Yan Jiecheng felt it was shabby.

"Returning the eggs? That's wishful thinking!"

Yan Bugui's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped Yan Jiecheng on the head with his backhand.

"You little bastards at least got to taste meat last time you stole meat, but I haven't eaten meat in half a year.

You have no conscience and you don't even think about your father.

Get out~"

After saying this, Yan Bugui waved his hand impatiently and drove Yan Jiecheng away.

……

Qin Huairu and her son stayed in the hospital for a few days. Only when they had recovered enough did He Yuzhu take them back to the hospital.

Before returning to the courtyard, He Yuzhu specially prepared a basket of red eggs and some peanut candies, intending to distribute them to the neighbors along the way so that they could share in the good fortune.

It was a great joy that the He family had a new boy. He Yuzhu was in a good mood and was very generous.

He gave three red eggs to every neighbor, regardless of the number of people in the family, even the deaf old lady in the backyard was not left out.

There are more than 20 households in the yard, and more than 70 eggs were donated at one time.

In this day and age, seventy or so eggs are worth a lot of money.

As soon as the things were given out, the neighbors who benefited from them all smiled and praised He Feng for his good looks and extraordinary talent, and said he would definitely have a bright future.

Everyone in the yard was very happy, except Yan Bugui, who couldn't help but have his old problem when he looked at the eggs that had not been divided in the basket.

"Silly... He Yuzhu, your distribution is a bit unfair.

There are five people in our family and we only have three eggs, which is not enough for one per person. The deaf old lady only has three eggs per person and they can’t even finish them. This is not appropriate.”

He Yuzhu was feeling proud, but he didn't expect Yan Bugui to come out and spoil his mood. He frowned and said, "There's nothing inappropriate. If you're not satisfied, you can return the eggs to me."

"I'm just saying it, don't take it seriously."

Yan Bugui was reluctant to return the eggs he had obtained, and after he said that, he also realized his stupidity.

Now is the time to make friends with He Yuzhu. Saying such things will only narrow your path.

"Humph."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Yan Bugui. He continued to announce to the neighbors: "In a few days, when my son's full moon comes, I will hold a banquet in the yard to celebrate. You must show your favor then."

"sure……"

The neighbors hurriedly agreed in unison.

So much money was spent as soon as the child was brought back to the hospital. There will definitely be a sumptuous feast at the full moon banquet, and everyone is looking forward to enjoying it.

"We just brought the mother and son back today. They are exhausted from the journey. Let's go home first."

When most of the things had been distributed, He Yuzhu didn't delay any longer and prepared to return home to cook for Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu, who had just given birth and was in confinement, was very weak and needed careful care.

He Yuzhu's mother passed away early and he had no relatives in the city. He originally planned to go to Qinjia Village to ask his mother-in-law to come and help take care of him.

Unfortunately, it was the busy farming season in the village and my mother-in-law was unable to spare the time.

The heavy responsibility of taking care of Qin Huairu fell entirely on He Yuzhu.

When the neighbors saw the owner leave, they all dispersed, but Yan Bugui was the only one who stood there holding the egg, as if he had not recovered from what had just happened.

When most of the neighbors had left, Yan Bugui took a deep breath and strode towards He Yuzhu's house.

……

He Yuzhu, who was preparing to cook, looked at Yan Bugui who came to his house and asked in confusion: "Uncle, what's the matter with you? Are you still eyeing my eggs?"

It was obvious that what happened just now left a very bad impression on He Yuzhu.

Although Yan Bugui was well-known in the hospital for being stingy and greedy, it was still too much for him to do such a thing on such a special day.

"no no……"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you would hold a full-moon banquet for He Feng in a while?

For a banquet that big, you have to prepare in advance, right?

So I just wanted to come and see if there was anything I could do to help.”

Yan Bugui is definitely not as strong as Liu Haizhong in terms of hard power, and he can only gain an advantage by taking the initiative.

“It’s still a long time before the baby is one month old, so there’s no need to rush to prepare.

I appreciate your kindness. I'll let you know when I need your help. You can go back first."

He Yuzhu knew very well what kind of person Yan Bugui was.

A stingy old man who will not do anything unless there is something for him to gain will definitely not be kind enough to offer to help.

He Yuzhu didn't understand what Yan Bugui was up to, and he didn't need to understand. He just refused directly.

"People without thought, he must worry about.

More than twenty days seem very long, but in fact they pass in the blink of an eye.

Besides, hosting a banquet is not that easy.

Just purchasing supplies takes a lot of effort.

If we don’t make arrangements early, I’m afraid things will go wrong.”

Yan Bugui advised seriously.

"Uncle, you came here just to tell me this?

Just tell me what you have to say."

He Yuzhu didn't want to argue any more and asked directly.

“I was really worried that you couldn’t handle it alone, so I wanted to come over and help.

You see how troublesome purchasing is.

How about you just leave this to me?

You know my abilities, I can definitely help you get the most favorable and cost-effective materials."

Yan Bugui widened his eyes and recommended himself.

"Whoo~"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu let out a long breath, suppressed the urge to slap the spoon on Yan Bugui's face, and said coldly: "Yan Bugui, stay out of my business."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was angry, Yan Bugui wanted to continue to defend himself, but he was retorted before he could say anything.

“Who am I?

My name is He Yuzhu. I’m the canteen director of the steel rolling mill and have been a cook for more than ten years.

How to prepare a banquet, do I need you to teach me?!

I think you have gone insane and your brain is broken.

What is the most favorable and cheapest material?

Do you really think I don't know what you think?

I’m afraid that you’ll take the money and embezzle most of it, and then come back with some messy things to fool me.

I don’t want to hit anyone today, get out of here now! "
