Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

As soon as Zhang Renkang and his party entered the courtyard, they were stopped by Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and other people from various households in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai took the lead and asked

"Zhang Renkang, do you think there will be another heavy snowstorm this time?"

Zhang Renkang flatly denied

"When did I say that?"

Yan Bugui said anxiously

"Didn't you just say that this cloud cover is unusual and that there might be a heavy snowstorm or a snowstorm?"

"I saw you letting Yu Li leave with a bag of things."

Zhang Renkang looked at Yan Bugui with disdain and smiled

"Uncle, please be careful about the impact of your words. If I remember correctly, you were the one who got Sha Zhu into jail, right? Why do you want to trick me again?"

Yan Bugui pointed at Zhang Renkang and said anxiously

"Zhang Renkang, how did I cheat Shazhu? What are you saying?"

Yi Zhonghai stopped Yan Bugui and asked nervously

"Zhang Renkang, this is no small matter, you can't take it as a joke"

Zhang Renkang glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said disdainfully

"I said, Yi Zhonghai, why are you everywhere? I came back and saw Yan Bugui stopped my car again. I asked him if he wanted to buy something to eat since it was going to snow. Why did he make fun of me?"

Then he turned around and asked Yan Bugui

"I said Yan Bugui, just tell me if I said that."

Yan Bugui was speechless. He originally wanted to take advantage of this matter. No one in the courtyard had to pass through the gate when buying things. Wouldn't he be able to take advantage of it? But he couldn't say it out loud. Yan Bugui was speechless for a moment and stammered.

"I heard you say that the clouds today are a little unusual."

Zhang Renkang snorted coldly and said

"Yan Bugui, I think you want to take advantage of me."

Upon hearing this, the families in the courtyard immediately understood Yan Bugui's plan. The Liu family, who lived in the front yard with him, said:

"I wonder why you, Mr. Yan, are so kind. You are waiting here."

Zhang Renkang looked at the heavy snow in the sky and said:

"Everyone, it's snowing pretty hard now. You can decide for yourselves whether to leave some food at home or not. Anyway, we don't have the final say on whether it snows heavily or not, right? I won't talk to you all anymore, I'll go back first."

Zhang Renkang looked at Yan Bugui and snorted coldly, and went home with the three girls. As soon as they entered the house, Yu Haitang pulled Zhang Renkang's arm and said nervously

"Brother-in-law, is it possible that the snow will not fall this time, just like last year?"

Zhang Yushui was still frightened by the heavy snow last year. At that time, there was no water or electricity, and some families had no coal, lacking food and clothing. If Yi Zhonghai had not organized each household to collect food and share it, and share their own excess coal, the courtyard would really be unreliable. This is why Yi Zhonghai's prestige suddenly became so high, and he dared to stand up for the Jia family and snatch Zhang Renkang's house. Who in the courtyard didn't owe Yi Zhonghai three points of favor at that time?

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"It's hard to say. Who knows what will happen next? Don't tell anyone about this. We just need to have food and drink at home."

Said to Li

"Go to the kitchen and cut up the meat I bought and stir-fry it. Make some braised pork today. Let's make them all and see how it goes tomorrow. We may have to save food in the future."

Yu Li nodded. She was not a little girl. The evil of human nature had been seen a lot in Zhang Renkang's courtyard these days. Yu Li also knew how difficult the people in this courtyard were. As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen. Zhang Renkang suddenly remembered that the Lou family and Qin Jingru might not have any preparations, and he probably wouldn't be able to go to the Lou family for a while. If Qin Jingru ran out of food and Lou Xiaoe was worried, it would be troublesome. Thinking of this, Yu Li shouted

"I'm going to run something. You three don't have to wait for me. I might be back in the middle of the night."

As he was about to go out, Yu Li came out and asked

"Where are you going?"

Zhang Renkang said

"I still have some unfinished business here. You three can eat first. You don't have to wait for me if I come back late."

After saying that, he opened the door and left. Before Yu Li could finish, she saw Zhang Renkang go out. Although she was a little worried, she still went to the kitchen to cook. Zhang Yushui and Yu Haitang were so hungry that they took snacks from the cupboard and went to Yushui's room to play.

Zhang Renkang jogged all the way. Fortunately, his physical fitness could keep up and he still had the basic skills of Qinggong given by Zongyunti. Fortunately, the small courtyard where Qin Jingru stayed was on the same line as the Lou family villa. After more than half an hour, Zhang Renkang stood at the door of Qin Jingru's courtyard and knocked on the door.

When Qin Jingru heard Zhang Renkang's voice, he already had a six-pound piece of pork belly and a bag of canned food in his hands. He had just left Qin Jingru fifty pounds of rice and flour the day before yesterday, so she didn't lack anything. Qin Jingru opened the door and saw Zhang Renkang and rushed over. Zhang Renkang walked in with the things in both hands. After closing the door, Zhang Renkang put Qin Jingru down and said seriously

"Jingru, time is limited now, listen carefully, from today on you must close the door from here and don't come out"

"Today's snow may last for several days. By then, I don't think I will be able to come to your place for seven or eight days. No matter what happens, you must stay at home and not go out."

Qin Jingru nodded when she saw Zhang Renkang speaking seriously.

"I understand. Brother Renkang, are you still leaving?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Well, I have to go back quickly. When you cook, please close the doors and windows to prevent people from smelling the food. You are right on Qianmen Street as soon as you open the door, so it is safe in terms of public security. But I am mainly worried that if it snows heavily in the next few days and supplies cannot be brought in, you will be short of food again."

Qin Jingru hugged Zhang Renkang nervously and said

"Brother Renkang, do you mean it will rain as hard as it did last year?"

Qin Jingru thought with lingering fear of the heavy snowstorm that last year last year last year, which lasted from the end of December to the beginning of January. The village suffered heavy losses. Several houses collapsed in the middle of the night and crushed three or four people to death. Moreover, most of the elderly people over 70 years old in the village did not survive. Almost every family was in mourning.

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"I don't know the exact situation, but it's better to be prepared. If the snow doesn't stop, don't come out. The charcoal and food I left for you will be enough to sustain you for more than half a month. I will find a way to come and find you."

After saying this, he kissed Qin Jingru and hurriedly pushed the door open and left, heading towards the Lou family's villa. It was gradually getting dark. After a while, Zhang Renkang walked around in front of the Lou family's villa and found no one watching him, so he knocked on the door.

The moment Lou's father opened the door, he took out a 20-jin piece of pork and two old hens of 5-6 jin from the space, and Zhang Renkang hurried in. Lou Huaijin saw Zhang Renkang coming, and quickly closed the door to welcome Zhang Renkang into the house.

When Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e saw Zhang Renkang coming in, they greeted him with a smile. When Lou's mother saw that Zhang Renkang was still carrying something, she quickly took it and said,

"Renkang, just come if you want to. What else do you need? We have everything we need at home."

Zhang Renkang stamped his feet in the hallway, shook the snow off his coat, hung it on the hanger and said

"I came to see if there is any food stored at home?"

Lou Huaijin nodded and said puzzledly

"There's still some rice and flour in the basement, but not much meat. I'm thinking of going out to buy some tomorrow."

Zhang Renkang sighed and said

"I'm afraid this snow will last four or five days, or even longer, so you'd better store some."

Lou Huaijin said nervously

"Renkang, are you saying this snow will continue to fall for several days?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"I'm not sure, but it looks like they won't stop easily."

Lou Huaijin was so nervous

"That won't do. We still have some food at home, but it will be hard to find something to replenish our bodies when the time comes."

Zhang Renkang was surprised

"What kind of body are you trying to nourish? Who is feeling unwell, you or Auntie?"

Lou Huaijin looked at Zhang Renkang with a smile without saying anything. Lou's mother also looked at him and Lou Xiao'e with a smile. Lou Xiao'e shyly pulled Zhang Renkang to her lower abdomen. Zhang Renkang's brain seemed to have been electrocuted. He stared at Lou Xiao'e with wide eyes and shouted excitedly for a while.

"Xiao'e, are you saying you are pregnant?"

"mine?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard what he said, she punched him in anger and said

"Whose do you want it to be?"

Zhang Renkang excitedly picked up Lou Xiao'e and spun her around, then quickly and gently put her on the ground and said with a grin.

"When did you have it? Why didn't you tell me last time?"

Lou Xiao'e said shyly

"I haven't had my period for more than a month. I felt a little nauseous yesterday, so I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the results showed that I had a period."

Zhang Renkang hugged Lou Xiao'e and said excitedly

"You mean I'm going to be a father?"

Lou Huaijin looked at the two people's happy and excited expressions and smiled.

"Sit down first, don't disturb the fetus now."

Lou's mother said with a smile

"Renkang happened to bring two old hens. I'll make chicken soup for you later."

Zhang Renkang was very excited, and Lou Huaijin wanted to give them some time alone, so he asked Lou Xiaoe to take him upstairs. Lou Huaijin quickly picked up the phone and started to make a call.

"Yes, send it to the Lou family mansion, 20 kilograms of eggs, 20 kilograms of pork, and some cabbage and other things."
