Chapter 433 Courtyard Households Improve Their Livelihood

Seeing that Ximen Lang was rambling on and on, he noticed that the conversation was now turning to Jia Zhangshi.

And this even involves Jia Zhangshi!
Bai Ling, who couldn't quite understand the strange bond between Ximen Lang and Jia Zhangshi, even began to feel that Ximen Lang cared more about Jia Zhangshi than about herself and Yi Yi, and couldn't help but complain.

"Why is Aunt Jia everywhere? And when exactly did Aunt Jia ever scold you? I didn't know about it."

"She never scolded me! Not only did she never scold me, she was actually quite nice to me! Remember last time at the state-run restaurant? She even stood up for us, scolding several of us at once!"

"No way! She's never even scolded you! So why are you so afraid of her? Are you out of your mind?"

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

After Bai Ling pointed it out, Ximen Lang really felt that he did have some problems.

Regardless of his current status and position, even without that status and position, given Jia Zhangshi's character, she would never do anything to him!
But why is he still worrying about this for no reason?

Besides being deeply influenced by all sorts of messy fanfiction and having Jia Zhangshi's vicious image so deeply ingrained in people's minds, there is another very important reason...
Ximen Lang couldn't control himself at all!
"Whenever I see Jia Zhangshi's imposing figure, I can't help but want to tease her a few times! It's fine once or twice, she's easygoing and plump and doesn't like to argue with me. But what if it happens too often?"

"If you walk the dark too often, you might even run into a ghost! Let alone me! What if I accidentally piss her off one day? You've seen how powerful she is; three or five ordinary people wouldn't be a match for her, let alone the two of us!"

you do not say.

Bai Ling had personally witnessed Jia Zhangshi's extraordinary fighting prowess!
Standing on your side and joining you in criticizing others is definitely the best helper!

But if you completely piss her off, causing her to stand against you...
It's no exaggeration to say that even if you tied ten of them together, they still wouldn't be enough to stop Jia Zhangshi from scolding you!

He imagined the absurd scene of being cursed by the completely insane Jia Zhangshi to the point that her ancestral graves were emitting green smoke, and he couldn't utter a single word in response.

Shivering, Bai Ling decisively distanced herself from Ximen Lang.

"Hey, hold on. You are you, and I am me. You're the one who provoked her, not me. If you accidentally anger her, you're responsible for handling it yourself; it has nothing to do with me!"

Ximen Lang found it utterly unbelievable.

I think that's really too rude.

They were a couple, after all, and it's really not good for them to abandon each other when disaster strikes.

Bai Ling couldn't help but offer her earnest advice again.

"Ah Lang, Jia Zhangshi hasn't done anything to you, so why do you always pick on her? Can't you just stay out of her way?"

Ximen Lang knew, of course, that as long as he didn't provoke Jia Zhangshi, nothing would happen to him.

"But I just can't control myself! Whenever I see her, I just want to say something to her, I just can't control myself! So the only thing I can do is start with her favorite jokes and prepare in advance to prevent it from happening!"

After hearing those words, Bai Ling really wanted to beat him to death!

Even Lao Luo and the others standing to the side were speechless.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Ximen Lang or stop him from continuing his reckless behavior, they realized they couldn't persuade him at all.

Let's just ignore it altogether.

Drop a sentence.

"Whatever." Then, Bai Ling, who was too lazy to say anything more to Ximen Lang, simply crossed her arms and watched Ximen Lang start acting up.

Then, Bai Ling was forcibly dragged to Ximen Lang's side by him, who genuinely believed that husband and wife were one.

After greeting Lao Luo, Hao Pingchuan, and Gao Cheng, I grabbed a jar of sugar pills and headed straight for the courtyard house.

As it happened, it just so happened that it was mealtime at the courtyard house, and it was also just in time for the courtyard house ladies who had just received their wages to have a better meal.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Although Ximen Lang has been living in the courtyard house for some time now, you know what, you really haven't seen his neighbors eat anything decent!
Even when we occasionally improve our meals, it's just a little bit oily and greasy, enough to smell.

That's all, just one or two households.

Otherwise, it's rare to even see a plain steamed bun unless it's a holiday!

Unlike now, before you've even stepped into a courtyard house, the smell of meat is already filling your brain.

The aroma was so strong that even Simon Lang, who wasn't particularly sensitive to meat, could smell it clearly. This was definitely not something that could be solved by just one or two places or a little bit of oil!

"I think there must be at least three or four, no, at least five or six, eating meat! What do you think?"

This was also the first time Bai Ling had encountered such a situation and seen such a large scene.
Of course, it doesn't mean that a big event is simply several families eating meat together, but rather...
"It's obvious that everyone's lives have improved, and they don't need to worry about these expenses, so they're rushing to improve their lives together!"

This is actually very rare in the world of Beijing, and it is what Bai Ling and her generation most wanted to see!
So, even though it was just a small matter, Bai Ling still became interested.

They started guessing together with Ximen Lang.

"I think it must be more than five or six restaurants, otherwise it's impossible to have such a strong meaty aroma! Maybe half the courtyard is improving their meals!"

"Half the courtyard is improving their meals? There can't be that much? Apart from Old Yi and Old Liu's families, would they be willing to spend that much?"

"Whether we're willing to go or not, we'll know everything once we go in and take a look. We don't even need to walk all over the college. We just need to see what Teacher Yan's family is eating, and all the questions will be clear."

Isn't it?
Even Teacher Yan's family eats good food.
That would mean at least half the hospital would have to improve their meals!

After all, who in this courtyard can out-sting him?
I'm genuinely curious whether Yan Bugui's stinginess will be effectively improved now that Aunt Yang has started receiving a salary and there are two more people in the family who can earn money.

They were so impatient.

"Let's go, let's go! Better to be lucky than early. Let's go to Teacher Yan's house for a free meal!"

After saying that, under Bai Ling's speechless gaze, Ximen Lang, with a big smirk, went to Teacher Yan's house for a free meal.

And then, I wasn't embarrassed at all.

Before they even entered the door, Ximen Lang started yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Teacher Yan, Teacher Yan, what delicious food are you having? I can smell it from far away! Let me tell you, Ling'er and I are here to freeload today, so we can't hide it from you!"

While Yan Bugui's family was still wondering what was going on, Ximen Lang lifted the curtain and walked straight in.

Then, I saw a table full of dumplings.
