Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Yu Fazhan's gaze, however, kept sweeping around the room.

When he saw the cactus on the windowsill, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law...doesn't this cactus look a bit out of place...it looks really awkward!"

"Really?" Liu Aiguo said casually, "It does seem a bit mismatched!"

"I'll take it and throw it outside!"

"Ah?" Liu Aiguo panicked: "This won't do... Although this cactus doesn't match, it has special meaning to me!"

Yu Li's face flushed red instantly.

She thought of a certain time, an embarrassing incident, and the stinging sensation of being touched closely by a cactus's spines.

Really...

Time flies like water, it feels like it was just yesterday.

It was summer then, and now it's winter in the blink of an eye.

At noon, Li Chunlan stood up to cook.

When they came, they brought a lot of things and food.

Liu Aiguo pulled her aside and said, "Auntie... you don't need to go. I've already prepared everything. Please sit down, I'll go get it, let's eat right away!"

This isn't Liu Aiguo bragging!

He had prepared the meal in advance and stored it in the system.

He moved all the food out of the kitchen.

Then, dish after dish was served on the table.

Braised pork ribs!

Spicy chicken nuggets!

Sauerkraut fish!

Cumin lamb chops!

Four main dishes, extremely substantial dishes; in Beijing, the emphasis is on chicken, fish, pork, and lamb.

The four essential items!

Then there were a few side dishes and a bowl of West Lake beef soup!

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Patriotism...you rascal..." Li Chunlan said, "We just came here for a simple meal, and to see your house, why did you prepare such a lavish meal?"

"Honestly... You can't be this extravagant after you get married!"

"I know, I know!" Liu Aiguo chuckled. "This isn't your first time here, how could I dare to be negligent? If you don't marry Lily to me later, I'll be crying!"

"Hahaha..." Li Chunlan burst into laughter.

Everyone ate together.

The aroma of meat wafted from inside the house to outside.

The sight made the children in the courtyard drool, but most of them were well-mannered and knew that Liu Aiguo's family was entertaining distinguished guests, so they didn't come over.

But there are always those who are unaware of their own shortcomings and lack proper upbringing.

For example... sticky rice cakes!

Banggeng secretly slipped to Liu Aiguo's door.

In the past, if someone cooked something delicious, he would squat at their door, and the homeowner would usually give him some to eat.

But this time it's different.

Liu Aiguo absolutely refused to give it to him!

Li Chunlan and Yu Shoucheng were not in a position to make decisions on behalf of Liu Aiguo.

Yu Li even said, "Mom, don't worry about him... that whole family is no good..."

Li Chunlan understood instantly.

"Uncle Aiguo...you're eating meat!" Liu Aiguo didn't say anything, and Banggeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to ask, "Is it delicious...can I have a taste?"

"Get out!" Liu Aiguo cursed.

Not only did Banggeng not roll away, but it also lingered there: "Why are you so stingy... My grandma said that stingy people won't be able to have children in the future..."

"Snapped……"

Liu Aiguo slammed his fist on the table in anger, which saved him from saying the harsher words that followed.

"Bright Sky!"

Liu Aiguo shouted.

Liu Guangtian suddenly sprang out from the opposite side: "Uncle Aiguo..."

Liu Aiguo gave him a wink.

Liu Guangtian understood immediately.

He stepped forward, grabbed Banggeng's hair, and dragged him backward violently.

"Liu Guangtian... what are you doing?"

"Bang Geng..." Liu Guangtian said while dragging Bang Geng, "They said you kicked our door yesterday, didn't they?"

"no!"

Snapped……

Liu Guangtian went up and slapped Bang Geng across the face.

They then dragged the stick-like creature to a secluded spot and beat it up.

By the time Qin Huairu found out, it was too late; the child had already been aborted.

Qin Huairu asked Liu Guangtian angrily, "Who told you to hit our Banggeng... Did I offend you?"

"He spat at me!" Liu Guangtian said. "What do you think?"

In fact, the spitting in the fart scene was all made up by Liu Guangtian.

But Liu Guangtian was also a child.

What can you do to me?

Liu Aiguo simply closed the door, took out a bottle of Moutai, and drank half a bottle with his father-in-law.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only half a bottle; it's quite a lot!

One bottle of this stuff weighs two pounds!

Half a bottle means half a jin (250 grams) for one person.

Liu Aiguo was completely unaffected, but his father-in-law's obvious advantages couldn't hold him back.

After finishing her meal, Yu Li went to clean up.

Liu Aiguo pulled out a large watermelon from the system, threw it on the table, and said, "See? Development... I saved this for you..."

The Yu family members were all surprised.

God!

Can these summer watermelons be kept until winter?

Is it still edible?

However, after Liu Aiguo cut the watermelon open, everyone fell silent.

They started eating noisily.

cool!

Eating this in winter has an indescribable refreshing feeling!

……

After dinner, her parents-in-law went home, but Yu Li stayed behind.

Liu Aiguo asked in a low voice, "What's wrong... Did your parents keep you here to stay with me overnight?"

"Screw you!"

Yu Li rolled her eyes at Liu Aiguo, then said, "I'll keep you company... It's been a long time since I've spent time with you!"

"Ok!"

Liu Aiguo said, "Before you speak, could you take a bite first..."

Yu Li didn't say anything.

Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes.

They gnawed on for over ten minutes, until both of them were in danger of catching fire, before Liu Aiguo finally stopped.

Liu Aiguo said, "I'm getting married in a month..."
