Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

"Yes, my father has been single for so many years. In a few years, he will be old and it is time for him to find a partner. Besides, the rain will get heavier soon, and there will be some inconveniences for two men in the family. But I don't know how to talk to him." He Yuzhu said.

"That's easy. I'll ask around for you when I get back. Leave it to me." Su Xingchen said cheerfully. He really didn't expect it to be so easy. If He Daqing in the plot knew that his son didn't mind him finding another one, would he still sneak away to Baocheng?

"Chenzi, Zhuzi, Yushui, it's time for dinner." He Daqing shouted into the house.

"coming."

The three of them left the room and sat at the dining table. He Daqing also served the last steamed fish. There were also Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Twice-cooked Pork and a pot of hot and sour soup on the table. Su Xingchen looked at these dishes and couldn't help but whet his appetite. He took a bite of the meat without hesitation and said, "Uncle, you did a good job. Your cooking skills are really the best." After eating, Su Xingchen gave He Daqing a thumbs up.

"That's right. My father's cooking skills are not to be underestimated. But I'll let you taste my cooking skills when there is a chance." He Yuzhu said after taking a sip of wine.

"Okay, I'll try your cooking when I get a chance and let me see how bad your food is." Su Xingchen said jokingly.

"Hey, do you deserve a beating? Believe it or not..." He Yuzhu was just about to say "Believe it or not, I will beat you up", but he thought of Su Xingchen's skills and immediately swallowed the second half of his words. Are you kidding me? How could he win?

"What to believe in?" Su Xingchen said with his mouth bulging.

"Knock, knock, knock, Daqing, are you at home? I have something to talk to you about." Only the voice of the third uncle was heard coming from outside.

The three of them couldn't help but frown. Everyone didn't know that it was time to eat, so why did the third uncle come in a hurry? He Daqing stood up, walked to the door, opened it a crack, and said, "Third uncle, do you have any advice? Is it urgent? If not, let's talk about it later. I have something to do with Chenzi, so it's not convenient."

"Well, the final exam is coming up soon, so I came to ask Yu Shui how her review is going. We are from the same school, so I wanted to help Yu Shui with his studies." Yan Bugui said. He had been thinking hard about an excuse before coming here, and finally came up with one after thinking for a long time. You can't refuse me, can you?

"Hey, Third Uncle, that's not necessary. I'll give Yu Shui the supplement. Yu Shui seems to like the method I taught him. Don't you think so, Yu Shui?" Su Xingchen said after taking a bite of steamed bun.

"I like what Brother Chenzi teaches, but I am a little confused by what the teacher explains." He Yushui said. After all, his predecessor Su Xingchen had also given He Yushui extra lessons.

"Okay, Third Uncle, you heard it, but thank you for your kindness. These peanuts are freshly braised, you can try them." After saying that, He Daqing went back to the house, grabbed a handful of braised peanuts and handed them to the Third Uncle.

"Hey, thank you. You see how sorry I am. I didn't help you and I took your peanuts for nothing. Okay, you guys eat, I'm going home." Yan Bugui said with a smile. Although he didn't get to eat, it wasn't a wasted trip. Yan Bugui held the peanuts in his hand and went home humming a little tune.

"Third Uncle is really something. Why is he always thinking about scheming every day?" He Yuzhu expressed his dissatisfaction with the Third Uncle.

"Who said it wasn't? I won't talk about other calculations, but you are calculating when someone else is having a meal. This is too much." Su Xingchen couldn't have a big impression of Yan Laokou, but he didn't want to morally blackmail her, so there was no need to punish him.

"Hey, none of the three masters in our compound is a good person. No, there are only two left now. Let's not talk about it anymore. One of us three will leave." As he said this, He Daqing raised his glass.

"Come on, do one."

"Come."

.........................................................

Because they had to go to work tomorrow, the three of them didn't drink too much, and Su Xingchen didn't drink too much because he had to help He Yushui review. After all, he had said it, so he couldn't go back on his word. It wasn't until He Yushui yawned that Su Xingchen said hello and went home.

When I opened the door, Liu Lihua had already returned home.

"You're back. I hope you're not drunk too much." Liu Lihua heard the sound of the door opening and didn't even bother to turn around while holding the coal.

"How could that be? Don't I have to go to work tomorrow? I didn't drink much. Mom, how do you feel about going back to work today? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Su Xingchen poured himself a glass of water and sat on the chair. He was already thirsty after drinking, and after lecturing to He Yushui for a while, his mouth was even drier.

"It's okay. Your Aunt Wang said that I will be promoted by the end of next year." Liu Lihua also said while sitting on the stool.

"Ah? Didn't you just return to the street office? How come you were promoted in just one year?" Su Xingchen looked puzzled. A fish shouldn't have such an effect.

"What are you thinking? I should have mentioned it before I went home. Now that I'm not going home, the promotion will be delayed. If I still raise the level at home, I don't know what others will say. I have to pay attention to the impact."

"I think so. Mom, you have to work harder. I'm waiting for the day when you become the master." Su Xingchen said after taking a sip of water. Tsk, this water is a bit bland. I have to get some tea leaves. He is used to drinking tea leaves, so he can't get used to drinking plain water.

"Then think about it. It's unlikely that I, your mother, would go that far. Okay, go take a shower and go to bed. Go to bed early after drinking." Liu Lihua brought the bottle of boiled water to the table and said to Su Xingchen.

"Okay, I got it, Mom. You go and rest. Don't worry about me. I'll fall asleep soon." Su Xingchen took the bottle of water and went to wash up.

After washing up, Su Xingchen sat on the bed and soaked his feet, then got into the quilt. Alcohol made Su Xingchen fall asleep in a short while.

In the dream, Su Xingchen dreamed of his cheap father, who turned around and smiled at Su Xingchen. Su Xingchen ran forward desperately to chase him, but no matter how hard he ran, he could not catch up, and then he disappeared into the darkness. Su Xingchen woke up directly from the dream, opened his eyes, and breathed heavily.

"What kind of dream is this? Why is it so weird?" Su Xingchen sat up from the bed. The weather was getting a little chilly, and Su Xingchen was sweating all over. He thought he had to take a shower soon, otherwise he would not be able to bear the stinking sweat. After all, he had never been to a bathhouse since he came to this world.

Su Xingchen thought that it was another day, and entered the space, "Sign in."

"Sign in successfully. Congratulations to the host for winning ten Chinese bars, ten boxes of White Rabbit candy, ten Big Black cards, Japanese proficiency (skill), and a lucky draw."

What the hell? Proficient in Japanese? "System, what is this? Why are you giving me useless things? If I were a few years earlier, would you want me to be a traitor? Or an undercover agent? Could this system of yours be a returned product by someone else?" At this moment, Su Xingchen seriously doubted that the little panda would not embezzle. This... the time-traveling army encountered an embezzler?

"That... answer the host, don't talk nonsense, this system is... the most suitable system for you." The system replied stutteringly.

"Damn it, aren't you trying to tell me that you really returned the goods? I want to return the goods too." Su Xingchen roared.

"Then forget it. If the returned goods are not accepted by the host, both of us will be erased." The system replied.

Su Xingchen heard this and immediately said righteously: "Well, I didn't say that, you heard it wrong, Japanese is pretty good, Arigato System-kun."
