Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Jia Zhangshi?

Granny Jia?

What about people?

Everyone looked around, but couldn't see it.

Looking back closely: Goodness, there's a lot more behind us!

His body was hunched over.

Looking haggard!

A full head of white hair!

Tut tut...

She's completely changed! Where's the old Granny Jia's former wealth and roguish charm?

This little old lady...

"My dear grandson!" Madam Jia Zhang ran over crying and grabbed Bang Geng, "What happened to you? Why are you so thin... my dear grandson!"

"Woooooooo..."

The north wind continued to blow, and the sky grew darker and darker.

Chapter 226 Nobody in the compound is giving Qin Huairu any face!

The snowflakes are getting denser.

As Director Zhao and Director Jin left one by one, the Jia family members embraced and wept bitterly.

Liu Aiguo had no interest in watching, and he went back to his room with his hands behind his back.

Two coal briquettes were added to the heater, and the heat from their combustion instantly filled the entire room.

Of course, with Liu Aiguo's current abilities, it doesn't matter whether he needs heating or not.

But Yu Li is different; she is quite sensitive to temperature changes.

I lit the stove first and waited for my wife to come home.

Yu Li has been busy in Beijing, managing the company's affairs and checking on other stores regularly. Franchisees from all over the country are arriving in droves.

She was busy every day, but fortunately Liu Aiguo assigned her a capable female secretary.

The female secretary was naturally summoned from the system.

bang bang bang...

Liu Aiguo had just sat down and was preparing to cook dinner.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

It's definitely not Yu Li.

Yu Li could just walk straight into the house without knocking.

Upon opening the door, they found it was Uncle Liu Haizhong, the second uncle.

Liu Haizhong said, "Aiguo, the Jia family is hosting a banquet today, saying they want to invite everyone in the courtyard to dinner. They want us to help supervise their children's behavior and correct their mistakes!"

"Are you going or not?" Liu Haizhong, who was obsessed with officialdom, is now old and no longer has the ambition to be an official like he used to. However, his obsequious nature is still unchanged.

Because Guangfu and Guangtian worked for Liu Aiguo in the past, Liu Haizhong was particularly obedient to Liu Aiguo.

Liu Aiguo said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me whether the Jia family changes or not?"

"Besides, the way their family behaves... haha... I'm afraid I'll end up eating at a thief's ship!"

"Don't go!"

Liu Aiguo waved his hand.

Liu Haizhong said, "Alright, since you're not going, then I won't go either!"

After saying that, Liu Haizhong stepped into the snow.

Liu Aiguo was stunned: Holy crap, I said I wasn't going, not that I didn't want you to go!

Next door, at Uncle Er's house.

Third Uncle, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and others were all waiting.

"So, what do you say?" Uncle San asked. "Aiguo, are you going?"

Liu Haizhong said, "If he's not going, I don't want to go either. This meal at the Jia family's house is probably a trap. Old Yan, why don't you take the kids with you?"

Before Yan Bugui could speak, Liu Guangtian said, "If Uncle Aiguo isn't going, what's the point of us going? Forget it, I'm not going either!"

Liu Guangfu: "I'm not going either!"

Now, even if Yan Bugui wanted to go, he was too embarrassed to go.

So everyone else is skipping the trip, but you, Yan Bugui, are going? Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for Liu Aiguo?

"Alright, alright!" Yan Bugui said, "I don't think this meal is anything special. Forget it, Uncle Er, you still owe me a drink, why don't you treat me today!"

"When did I owe you anything?" Uncle Er blushed and said, "That time I lost a game of chess to you, you clearly said you didn't want it."

Liu Guangtian said, "Alright, I'll take care of it. It's no big deal!"

"Third Uncle, why don't you have a drink with my dad? I'll go get some wine!"

then!

Uncle Er, Uncle San, Liu Guangfu, Liu Guangtian, Yan Jiecheng, and Yan Jiekuang didn't go to Qin Huairu's house; instead, they drank at Uncle Er's house.

Qin Huairu's house!

Qin Huairu prepared a whole table of dishes!

Six meat dishes and four vegetable dishes.

A large table was set out, steaming hot.

Sitting opposite them were Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng, who were all cleaned up, as well as Xiaodang and Huaihua!

Qin Huairu sat in the main seat.

"Why haven't they come yet?" Xiao Dang asked. "Mom, I'll go out and see... what's going on?"

Xiao Dang grabbed an umbrella and rushed into the snow.

Let's go see Uncle San first.

"Third Uncle, where is Third Uncle... He was supposed to come to our house for dinner!" Xiao Dang asked Third Aunt.

Auntie San chuckled and said, "I don't know either. Why don't you go check with Uncle Er?"

"okay!"

Xiao Dang went to Uncle Er's house.

It turned out that everyone was drinking at Uncle Er's place.

"Second Uncle... Third Uncle, didn't we agree to come over to our place for a drink?"

"My mom has already prepared the dishes, why are you all drinking here again?"

Uncle Er, his face slightly flushed from the drink, said, "No, no, it's all the same where we drink. It's not really appropriate since there's no man in your family. I'll treat you to a drink later!"

Xiao Dang had no choice but to leave with a droopy face. She walked to Liu Aiguo's door, peeked inside, and said, "Uncle Aiguo, come to our house for dinner!"

But then Liu Aiguo came out of the inner room carrying a huge crab and said, "No, let's go to your house. Wouldn't it be a waste to just steam this crab that I just made?"

"You eat!"

Xiao Dang pouted and left: "I've never eaten such a big crab before."

I wonder what it tastes like!

Xiao Dang went back into the house and said, "No one's coming, everyone's already eating. Mom, how about we call it a day?"

Madam Jia said, "That's right, isn't it a waste to give such a big table of good food to those people?"

"Don't eat it, give it to my precious grandson!"

"Come on, my dear grandson, eat up!"

As they were talking, Jia Zhangshi picked up her chopsticks and placed a large piece of meat on Banggeng's plate.

Banggeng looked at Qin Huairu with some fear.

Qin Huairu slammed her hand on the table angrily: "Eat, eat, eat...all you ever think about is eating!"

Do you know how old you are?

"You're almost thirty and still eating here!"

"Can you eat this until you die of old age?"

Qin Huairu was genuinely angry to see her son's lack of ambition.

Madam Jia said, "Qin Huairu, don't raise your voice so loudly... What's wrong? My grandson has suffered outside for two years, can't he come back for a meal?"

"What do you know?" Qin Huairu said, "Mom, suffering... did I make him suffer?"
