Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

A large group of children were curious and lingering. Although they didn't know what was stewing in Zhang Jialiang's family, they knew it must be meat, and they couldn't help drooling.

The one who behaved the most exaggeratedly was Jia Dongxu's son Banggeng. Banggeng is now 5 years old. There are many children in the compound. Now the society is relatively safe, at least it is very safe in the compound. Parents don't care about their children, they can play to their heart's content and run around in the compound.

While running, Banggeng was attracted by the smell of meat. Following the tempting aroma, he came to the gate of Zhang's house and saw a group of friends outside looking in.

When he got closer, he heard a group of friends talking.

"I think it's chicken. Two months ago, my family had chicken. It tasted so good and fragrant. I still remember it.

The aroma here is exactly the same as the chicken I ate that day, yes, it must be chicken!"

"No, I think it's pork, they must be making braised pork!

A few months ago, we also had braised pork at home. It was even more fragrant and delicious. I almost ate my tongue!"

"I think it's fish, I can smell the aroma of fish.

The fish soup is especially delicious. Eat a bite of fish, drink a sip of fish soup, and then nibble on two cornmeal steamed buns. It's so delicious!

My mouth is watering!"

……

Banggeng was listening nearby and his saliva was watering unconsciously. His eyes were shining green. The smell of meat was so delicious that he loved to eat any kind of meat.

No, he must eat meat today. He has to go back and ask his family for meat. He will make a fuss if they don’t give him meat. His grandmother at home loves him the most and will definitely give him meat. When he thought of this, his eyes lit up and he quickly turned around and ran home.

Zhang Jialiang somewhat overlooked the appeal of meat. In that era, the smell of meat was a huge torture to the people in the compound.

This pot of rabbit meat and the pot of fish meat attracted almost all the children in the yard. Even the adults could not resist the temptation. The uncles and aunts across the street kept looking at their house. Other families in the yard were also discussing the topic of their stewed meat.

When Zhang Jialiang saw a group of children gathered at their doorstep, he immediately felt something was not right. After seeing the condition of the three uncles and aunts, he felt even more so.

This is bad. Everyone in the compound will definitely know that the meat is stewed. This will definitely make many people envious, jealous and resentful, and there may be trouble in a while.

Not to mention others, just take the Jia family in the Central Courtyard. They will definitely take action and will most likely send someone to their house to ask for meat.

When will it be given?

Or not give it?

Even if he gave it to him, he would definitely be unwilling to do so. Another reason is that there are so many families in the compound, and he wouldn't be able to afford it if he gave it to all of them. There are so many mouths to feed at home, eagerly waiting to eat meat.

Besides, why should we let others eat our own meat?

Of course not. I can't make this offer. If I give it to him today, then in the future, whenever he brings home a hunt or something to eat, I have to give it to him. That's impossible. He is not a fool. Even a fool wouldn't be so stupid as to let others eat his meat for free.

If I don't give it to you, there will definitely be people gossiping, and the people in the Jia family will definitely make trouble, especially that shameless old pious woman Jia Zhang.

This requires thinking about what to do, or at least finding a reasonable excuse.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jialiang could only blame it on his grandmother. His grandmother was old, and it was natural for her to eat some meat to supplement her nutrition. No one could say anything.

After thinking it over, he explained the situation to his grandmother and his mother.

Although the women of the family were still pasting matchboxes at this time, their minds were no longer on this. They had been deeply attracted by the fragrance from the kitchen and were unconsciously imagining the scene of eating meat in a while. The women of the Zhang family, who were always efficient at work, became a little absent-minded, and their fingers that were pasting matchboxes moved slowly.

After hearing Zhang Jialiang's concerns, everyone present was very reluctant to let other families eat their own meat, especially people like Jia Zhang.

Their family has never had a very good relationship with the Jia family. The main reason is Jia Zhang, who has always liked to throw tantrums and take advantage of others.

Originally, the Zhang family had many children, and Zhang Jialiang's mother was weak in character and was often bullied by Jia Zhang. If it weren't for the fact that their grandmother was a little stronger at home, their family would have been bullied to death by Jia Zhang long ago.

However, in recent years, as the children in the family have grown up one by one, especially Zhang Jialiang, Mrs. Jia Zhang's attitude towards their family has become more restrained after the male in the family grew up.

In addition, their family was almost the poorest in the courtyard, so there was no advantage for them to take advantage of, and they lived in peace for several years.

Now they heard that the Jia family might come and ask for meat, and no one in their family was willing to do so.

After listening to Zhang Jialiang's idea, everyone unanimously agreed that as long as the meat was preserved, it should not be given to other families. It had been such a long time since his family had eaten meat, so how could they give it to others?

Grandma also firmly stated that all the blame should be put on her. She was old anyway, and she really didn't believe that anyone would dare to snatch the meat from her mouth.

Zhang Jialiang felt that when the time came to ask for meat, Qin Huairu would be sent over. He planned to let his second sister go out and send Qin Huairu away. His second sister had been doing odd jobs doing sewing and mending in this area over the years and had met many people. She could speak well now. In addition, as Zhang Jiani was the oldest among the younger generation in their family, it was just right for her to come forward.

At this time, other families in the compound were indeed discussing the Zhang family's stewed meat.

At the uncle's house across the street, the uncle was complaining:

"This afternoon, I saw Zhang Jialiang coming back with a big fat rabbit and a few fish. I even greeted him warmly, but he didn't even bother to give way, even if it was just a small fish. It's so rude!"

"That's right, with a big fat rabbit and a few fish, and so much meat, can they finish it all?

We live in the same courtyard, and next door to each other, but they didn't even bother to send me anything. They are so stingy!"

The third aunt also looked indignant. She couldn't stand the smell of meat coming from the Zhang family.

"Why is it that Zhang Jialiang is completely different these past two days?

I used to do nothing and was idle all day, how come I suddenly became so capable these past two days?"
