Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Qin Jingru returned to courtyard number 95, carrying a lot of spices in her hands, such as star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon.

Walking into the front yard, I didn't see Yan Fugui and the Third Aunt, but I did see Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng gave Qin Jingru a venomous look, then went back into the house without saying goodbye.

"Neuropathy."

Qin Jingru snorted in dissatisfaction, picked up the seasonings, and walked towards the central courtyard.

Upon arriving at the Central Courtyard, they saw Li Sumei slaughtering a chicken in the courtyard pond, while Lu Banxia washed dishes, and the two were chatting idly.

Qin Jingru wasn't in a hurry to go back inside. She stepped forward and asked with a smile:

"Sumei, Banxia, ​​what are you talking about?"

Li Sumei, plucking the chicken feathers, looked at Qin Jingru speechlessly and said, "Jingru, Banxia told me that Qin Huairu made breakfast for her this morning and cleaned her house. Banxia treated Qin Huairu to breakfast and lunch. Do you think Qin Huairu would be so kind?"

Qin Jingru was speechless. It was all her fault. She hadn't told Lu Banxia about the character of the people in the courtyard yesterday, which led to Lu Banxia being deceived by Qin Huairu.

"Banxia, ​​after you finish washing the dishes, come to my house. I have something to tell you."

"become."

Qin Jingru then turned her gaze to Li Sumei and asked, "Sumei, how is your Xu Damao? I've seen you killing chickens for him every day to help him recover. Is his injury really that serious?"

Li Sumei sighed: "Da Mao was stabbed twice by robbers while he was in the countryside. He's still in the hospital and will probably stay for a few more days before he can come back. My mother sent these chickens over to help Da Mao recover. They're in the coop now, and there are several of them."

"Hey, your Xu Damao is really unlucky. He just went to the countryside to show a movie after the New Year and ran into robbers."

Qin Jingru sighed, "After hearing about Xu Damao's situation last time, I was planning to go home next month to celebrate my mother's birthday, but now I don't dare to go back alone."

Li Sumei nodded: "Jingru, there are people fleeing famine to Beijing right now. You must not leave the city alone. You are so beautiful. If you encounter starving people, they are capable of anything. It's better to be careful."

"Okay, I understand. Sumei, you go ahead with your work, I'll head back now."

Then she looked at Lu Banxia and said, "Banxia, ​​remember to come to my house after you finish washing the dishes."

"become."

Qin Jingru returned to the house and began boiling water to prepare tea.

After she finished brewing the tea, Lu Banxia also came over after washing the dishes.

Qin Jingru asked Lu Banxia to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

"Banxia, ​​sit down and have some tea. Let me tell you something. You need to be especially careful around the people in our courtyard from now on."

"Let me start with the front yard. The place we need to pay the most attention to is the Yan family, their family..."

"Gibberish."

"Crackling and popping."

Qin Jingru talked to Lu Banxia for a full half hour before introducing all the people in the hospital who needed to be careful.

Lu Banxia opened her mouth wide, as if an egg was about to be stuffed into it; she was truly shocked.

Lu Banxia didn't say a word the whole time; Qin Jingru was the only one talking.

There are only about a hundred people in one courtyard, and there are so many oddballs? It really is a case of a small temple with a lot of evil spirits, and shallow water with many turtles.

She didn't believe Qin Jingru would lie to her. She trusted Qin Jingru's character, but this was too outrageous. Qin Jingru had described everyone in the courtyard as a poem.

Generous and magnanimous Yan Fugui

Yan Jiecheng, the chicken-killing maniac

Yi Zhonghai, the Moral Celestial Venerable

He Yuzhu, the God of Simps

Ambassador of Soul Summoning, Jia Zhangshi

The Flourishing Era White Lotus of Qinhuai

The "Born Thief Saint" Jia Banggeng (a character from a Chinese folktale)

Liu Haizhong, a father who is kind to his son and a son who is filial to his father.

Xu Damao, a virtuous and upright man

A deaf old woman with sharp hearing and clear eyesight.

Oh, no, Sister Jingru said that the deaf old lady has disappeared; she was the one who used to live in those two rooms.

Qin Jingru took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and asked, "Banxia, ​​have you memorized all these people?"

Lu Banxia nodded her head, then asked in shock, "Sister Jingru, are there really so many eccentric people in this courtyard?"

Qin Jingru snorted lightly: "Banxia, ​​you don't believe me? Let me tell you, I saw all of this with my own eyes. You'll know once you've lived here longer."

"Let me tell you, you've been tricked by Qin Huairu today. Qin Huairu is my cousin; do you think I don't know what kind of person she is?"

Lu Banxia waved her hands repeatedly: "Sister Jingru, I definitely believe you, really. I just feel it's too outrageous. There are only a little over a hundred people in this courtyard, how can there be so many strange people?"

Qin Jingru smiled indifferently: "Banxia, ​​what's there to be afraid of? As long as you know that you can't trust the people in the courtyard, and you know what kind of people they are, just treat it as entertainment. Let me tell you, our courtyard is very lively. You can often see exciting shows here, even more exciting than watching a movie. You definitely won't feel bored."

Lu Banxia nodded: "Sister Jingru, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been scammed and even paid the seller for it."

"This Qin Huairu is such a good actress. I was wondering why she knocked on my door so early in the morning. She was so kind as to make me breakfast and clean my house. At noon, she cooked a pound of meat. I ate two ounces, and she ate more than half a pound. In the end, she took the rest home."

"Alright, you've learned your lesson this time. Just be smarter next time."

"Also, you live in the backyard, and so does Liu Haizhong. He loves to beat his son; he beats him every three days and every five days. If you hear about this, don't meddle," Qin Jingru warned worriedly.

"Yes, Sister Jingru, don't worry."

......

at the same time.

The Lou family.

After Wang Feng and Lou Bancheng finalized some details, Wang Feng stood up and said to Lou Bancheng:

"Dad, you can arrange those old items as you see fit. It would be best to put them all in one place. Once I receive the goods, I'll send the gold over to you. Also, keep an eye on your capitalist friends."

Lou Bancheng nodded: "Okay, wait for my news."

"Okay, Dad, then I'll go back with my son first."

"Go."

Wang Feng and Lou Xiao'e left the Lou family home, each riding a bicycle. Wang Feng turned his head and asked, "Son, where did your mother go? I haven't seen her today."

"She's probably out visiting friends. My mom knows my dad will be leaving Beijing soon, so she's been going out to eat with friends a lot these past few days. After all, my mom has lived in Beijing for most of her life, so she has quite a few friends," Lou Xiao'e explained with a smile.

"I see."

Wang Feng nodded, indicating his understanding.

Soon, the two returned to Nanluoguxiang. Lou Xiao'e went back to No. 28 courtyard, while Wang Feng headed towards No. 95 courtyard.
