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

To be honest, facing such a sad scene, Zhang Jialiang didn't know how to deal with it, especially when facing the pure and innocent eyes of his three-year-old niece. He could only use pale and powerless words to try to comfort her:

"Xiao Xiulan, your father is not dead. He just went to a very far place and it will take a long time for him to come back. As long as you grow up healthy and happy, you will see your father again."

"But uncle, I miss dad so much. Why didn't he tell me that he was away?"

“This is your father’s fault, he left in such a hurry that he didn’t have time to tell you.

But he said that he hopes Xiao Lanhua will grow up happily, and he will come back when you grow as tall as your mother. "

The pain of losing a loved one is extremely sad, which made Zhang Jialiang a little helpless. He really had no experience to face all this.

……

Three days later, my brother-in-law was buried according to the procedures, but my eldest sister never recovered.

Seeing her depressed these days, the elder sister, who was not good at speaking and was honest, became even more taciturn. As a result, her little niece also became quiet and unwilling to see people. She always hid behind her mother, looking at everything around her with hesitant and panicked eyes, and lost her previous innocent and happy smile.

Although it is painful to lose a loved one, life must go on. Zhang Jialiang's mother goes to her eldest sister whenever she has time these days. Zhang Jialiang's mother also sends a lot of prey that he recently harvested in the hunting space to his eldest sister.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival in May. The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. Although life is difficult now, people still want to have a festive atmosphere when it comes.

The most important thing during the Dragon Boat Festival is making rice dumplings. However, due to the current material scarcity, it is not easy to eat a bite of rice dumplings.

It is easier to get zongzi leaves, as you can just pick some from the large reeds on the riverside and ponds outside the city. However, glutinous rice used to wrap zongzi is difficult to get.

Zhang Jialiang's family had just finished dinner that day when Yan Jiefang came over to inform them that a meeting of the entire hospital would be held in a while.

Another hospital-wide meeting is about to be held. I wonder what it’s about this time?

However, Zhang Jialiang is not worried at all now. He has dealt with the biggest troublemaker in the courtyard, Jia Zhang. The two families no longer have any contact or talk to each other. Naturally, the affairs of the Jia family will no longer have anything to do with their family.

No matter what, as long as it has nothing to do with his family, he is happy to go to the conference and watch the fun.

It had been agreed last time that Zhang Jialiang would be the one to preside over all the meetings of the entire institute from now on. He picked up a stool and quickly walked to the central courtyard. After arriving at the central courtyard, he found a secluded corner, put the stool down, sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started puffing smoke.

Now that he is rich, he smokes Daqianmen cigarettes. In this era, Daqianmen cigarettes are of high quality and are more than enough for a vagrant like him.

"Liangzi is good! He's been doing well lately, and his cigarettes are of higher quality."

Zhang Jialiang didn't need to turn his head to know that Xu Damao was coming. They had been getting along pretty well recently.

Xu Damao is eloquent and good at dealing with people. He likes to drink a little wine and is easy to get along with when there is no conflict of interest.

Zhang Jialiang has been well off recently and has nothing to do every day except hunting. Neither of them is a stingy person. When we are together, you treat me today and I treat you tomorrow. We have also had a few drinks together and have a good relationship.

"Is it okay? Want one?"

After Xu Damao took the cigarette and lit it, he asked mysteriously:

"Do you know what today's meeting is about?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard anything recently. Let's wait for the gentlemen to come. When they come, we'll know what happened. Do you know what happened?"

Zhang Jialiang looked at Xu Damao with a smug look on his face and suddenly realized that this guy must know what happened.

"Don't hesitate!

If you know, tell me now!

Why do you still want to keep it a secret from me?"

“It’s nothing big, just a good thing for a buddy.

Don’t you always say that I have a bad character and only do bad things and never do good things?

Today, I will show you who is the real good person in the compound and who is the most capable person in the compound?

After this matter is done today, I wonder who will dare to say that I am a bad person with sores on my head and pus on my feet. "

"Wow, you are so crazy, what good can you do?

You're either targeting some young girl today or some young widow tomorrow. You were beaten up by Sha Zhu again, right? Why are you talking nonsense now?"

"Humph, I'll scare you to death if I tell you!

Isn’t it almost the Dragon Boat Festival?

Do you know how rare it is to eat a proper rice dumpling these days?

A few days ago, I went to a rural commune to show people a movie. The commune leader said he had dozens of kilograms of extra glutinous rice and asked me if I wanted it, and he could exchange it for something.

I thought, aren’t people in our compound worried about how to eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival?

So I took on this task.

how about it?

I can let everyone in the yard eat rice dumplings. Isn’t that a good thing?

Is that considered capable?

Who else can do it except me? Can Shazhu do it?

He is just a stupid cook who can do nothing else except cooking!

I'll see who says I'm not doing my job and have bad intentions again!"

Xu Damao showed off with a smug look on his face that he had accomplished a great thing, but what the boy said did make sense. It is really not easy to eat a proper meal of rice dumplings these days.

If it's really as he said, then he really did a great thing for the entire compound. No wonder he was so proud of it.

Thinking of Zongzi Zhang Jialiang, something suddenly occurred to him, and he quickly asked Xu Damao:

"Are you so kind-hearted?

There must be some trick in it, you must have benefited from it, right?

Okay, it’s none of your business.

How much glutinous rice is there in total?

Can you spare some for me? But you should think carefully about the price first, don't ask me for too much."

Zhang Jialiang thought about it and understood that Xu Damao was definitely not such a kind guy and he must have his reasons for doing so.

But he didn't care about this kind of thing. He just wanted to buy more glutinous rice for his family to make more rice dumplings so that his family could have a good meal and have a decent Dragon Boat Festival.

After hearing what Zhang Jialiang said, Xu Damao knew that he had not been concealed from the matter, but he was not embarrassed at all. In his opinion, this was how things should be.

Hello, I'm fine, and everyone is fine. People in the compound can eat rice dumplings, he gets the benefit, and the commune also gets what it needs. It's like killing three birds with one stone. No one suffers, and everyone is satisfied. What a good thing.
