The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

"Xiao Song, however, you have to explain how you two met and what he does..."

Although the men let Song Xia go, they still had to interrogate him. In the end, Song Xia had no choice but to confess.

He Yuzhu arrived at a remote alley with no one around, and took out five pounds of spare ribs and two potatoes from the space.

He Yuzhu put his things on the bike and rode back to the gate of the courtyard. Yan Bugui had already taken up his post. Although his son was rejected from marriage, he could not let this delay his career as a gatekeeper.

Seeing He Yuzhu carrying so many spareribs, Yan Bugui began to drool. But this time, he suppressed the urge to go up and simply said, "Zhuzi bought spareribs. What's the good day today?"

"Second uncle, Yu Shui and her sister came to visit us today, so we didn't buy any meat. These are all we have, which is a pity."

Yan Bugui agreed with what He Yuzhu said. In that era, people generally believed that ribs were not good. They were just bones and had no fat. Therefore, ribs were cheaper than meat in that era.

"Second uncle, I'm going home first"

"Well, then you go back, Zhuzi"

He Yuzhu pushed the cart into the middle courtyard. At first, he was surprised that Yan Bugui didn't come up to ask for it, but then he thought of how he had played tricks on him several times before, and he understood and smiled.

In the middle court, the washerwoman has not started work yet. After all, the steel mill has not finished get off work yet, and she has not returned yet.

He Yuzhu had just parked the car when he heard He Yushui's voice, "Brother, what did you buy? What delicious food do you want to eat tonight?"

He Yuzhu looked over and saw Song Xiaomei and He Yushui coming over together.

"Here, spare ribs. Today, let's eat stewed potatoes with spare ribs for a while. Xia Xia can come too."

"Brother Zhuzi, is my sister coming too?" Song Xiaomei asked

“Yeah, I just told her.”

"Brother, what do you need us to do?" He Yushui asked

"Go play, I can do it on my own"

In less than 20 minutes, the ribs were cooked, and the rest was up to time. Then, he made a pot of white flour buns.

As time went by, the aroma of spareribs began to permeate the courtyard. The women who were cooking in the courtyard were so angry that their own food was obviously not bad, but every time the He family ate well, their own food seemed inedible.

Jia family

Jia Zhang, whose face had slightly less swelling, also smelled it, but she only dared to curse at home, and her words were still unclear.

Banggeng, who was lying on the kang, was indeed making a fuss again at this time, "Grandma! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

Jia Zhang didn't say anything, she just threw the sole of the shoe in her hand onto Bang Geng's butt, "Ah! Grandma, it hurts!"

Jia Zhang didn't say anything, she just looked at the He family through the window with hatred, muttering something...

Chapter 84 Xu Damao plots against Yan Bugui

The fragrance spread, and people who worked in the steel mill gradually returned. When they smelled the fragrance, they knew that He Yuzhu's family must be making delicious food. They felt both envious and jealous.

Just as the fragrance filled the courtyard and everyone in the courtyard was extremely greedy, a tall and beautiful woman wearing a supply and marketing cooperative uniform came to the gate of the courtyard. This person was Song Xia.

The second uncle Yan Bugui looked at the entrance of the courtyard and found that it was the girl that Sha Zhu had brought over some time ago, so he said, "Girl, are you looking for He Yuzhu?"

"Uncle, I'm looking for He Yuzhu," Song Xia replied with a smile, and then pushed the cart to the middle courtyard.

Jia family

When Jia Zhang saw Song Xia go to the He family, she cursed in a low voice, "Bah! Shameless! Vixen!"

When Song Xia arrived at the He family, Qin Huairu also came back. Looking at Song Xia, her eyes were full of jealousy and envy.

Ho's

While He Yuzhu was still cooking in the kitchen, He Yushui and Song Xiaomei saw Song Xia pushing a cart into the yard.

"sister!"

"Sister Song Xia!"

The two of them went out to greet him. After Song Xia parked her bike, the two girls held her arms one each and pulled her into the main room.

"Brother, is the meal ready? My sister-in-law is here."

Hearing He Yushui's words, Song Xia blushed, "Yushui!"

"Hey, sister-in-law, don't be shy, my brother has already proposed marriage."

Song Xia couldn't do anything to He Yushui, so he could only let it go.

"Yushui, come and get the steamed buns," He Yuzhu said to He Yushui, and he came out carrying a large basin.

The ribs and potatoes are sticking out, and the aroma continues to spread with the heat.

He Yushui quickly ran to the kitchen and brought out the basket. The white steamed buns made people drool just by looking at them.

"Xia Xia, Xiao Mei, Yu Shui, come and eat, potatoes stewed with pork ribs"

After hearing this, the three of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating...

On the other side, Yan's

Yan Jiecheng rushed back home as soon as he got off work. It was a hot day and he was sweating profusely.

When I got home, I asked without taking a breath, "Dad, Dad, what did Yu-Yu Li's family say?"

Before Yan Bugui could speak, Second Auntie said with some resentment, "Humph! Their family doesn't agree!"

Yan Jiecheng, who had been excited just now, was struck by lightning at this moment, and asked loudly, "Disagree?! Why don't you agree?!" Then, he looked at Yan Bugui, "Dad..."

Yan Bugui interrupted and said, "I asked Liu the matchmaker, but she didn't say why, she just said it was inappropriate." Yan Bugui was also very upset, because he bought half a pound of meat yesterday and cooked a lot of dishes, which cost a lot of money. He originally thought that he would use this money to find a wife for the eldest son. Later, when he reported the bill to Yan Jiecheng, he reported more, and then he made a profit. Unexpectedly, the Yu family did not agree. What a pity.

Yan Jiecheng found it hard to accept what he said and sat in a daze on the chair. Yan Bugui and his wife saw this but said nothing. They thought, it will be fine in a while.

A few minutes later, Yan Jiecheng ran out of the house and went straight to Yu's house!

Half an hour later, Yan Jiecheng ran to Yu's house, sweating profusely. The Yu family had already finished their meal and were chatting when they saw Yan Jiecheng rushing in.

"Yu Li, my dad said you don't agree with our marriage. Is that true?"

The four members of the Yu family looked at Yan Jiecheng, who was sweating profusely, in surprise, thinking, this is too reckless, he let the matchmaker go back, but he didn't expect that he would catch up with them at home.

Yu Li blushed a little at this time, after all, he was her blind date, but she nodded and said, "Well, Comrade Yan Jiecheng, I don't think we are suitable, so I'm sorry."

When Yan Jiecheng heard Yu Li's answer, he became anxious, "Yu Li, why? I like you."

Before Yu Li could say anything, the hot-tempered Yu Haitang spoke up, "Yan Jiecheng, my sister has already said it's inappropriate, why are you asking so many questions? Go away, or I'll call someone."

Hearing Yu Haitang's words, Yan Jiecheng said angrily, "I'm talking to Yu Li, why are you butting in!"

Yu Haitang was angered by Yan Jiecheng's words and blurted out, "With your family's reputation, you still want to marry my family? You must have drunk too much."

Yan Jiecheng was stunned. "What reputation?"

Yu Haitang mocked, "Your father Yan Bugui is famous for his calculating reputation on Hongxing Street. He even counts the pickles he eats. Come on, go back. My sister can't possibly marry into a family as calculating as yours!"

As he said this, he pushed Yan Jiecheng out of the Yu family.

After Yan Jiecheng was pushed out of Yu's house, he still wanted to continue to try to explain to Yu Li, but Yu Haitang said, "Yan Jiecheng, if you disturb our family again, I will go to the police station to sue you!" and then closed the door.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the closed door of the Yu family, then sighed and returned to the courtyard in despair.

When he got home, he saw Yan Bugui and his wife counting the accounts. Listening to them calculating the accounts by a dime, a few cents, and a few cents, Yan Jiecheng immediately became furious. He walked up to them, snatched the account book, and tore it to pieces!

Yan Jiecheng shouted, "Don't count! Don't count! Count, count, count! Count every day! But have you made a fortune? Now our family's reputation is well-known throughout the street!"

Yan Bugui and his wife were shocked by Yan Jiecheng's action, but after hearing his words, Yan Bugui reacted, stood up, and slapped Yan Jiecheng in the face.

"Why are you crazy!"

"I'm crazy?! Haha! I'm crazy!? Do you know why the Yu family refused the marriage?"

Yan Bugui looked at his eldest son and asked, "Why?"

"Haha, you, Yan Bugui, are well-known for your calculating reputation in Hongxing Street! As soon as people come to the neighborhood and ask around, they'll know that we eat pickles by the number of roots and share our meals fairly! Hehehe~"

Hearing that the Yu family refused because of this matter, Yan Bugui did not feel embarrassed, but felt that the Yu family was no good and did not calculate. In his eyes, they did not know how to live, so he said, "Jie Cheng, don't be sad. Yu Li's family is no good and does not know how to live. I will find you someone who can live later."

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Yan Jiecheng became even angrier and smashed the teacup. Yan Bugui was not happy with this, so the father and son started to make a scene at Yan's house.

The movement of the Yan family was soon known to other people in the courtyard. The four people of the He family, who had just finished their meal, were eating watermelon. When they heard the movement in the yard, they came out to watch the fun.

A duck voice sounded behind He Yuzhu, "Master Zhu, who is this beautiful lady?" He Yuzhu turned around and saw Xu Damao staring at Song Xia with a squinting look.

So He Yuzhu grabbed his collar and said, "Da Mao, you dare to set your sights on Master Zhu's woman? Do you think Master Zhu's knife is not sharp?"

It has been a long time since I was threatened by He Yuzhu. All of a sudden, the memories of the past came to my mind. "Hey! Master Zhu, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I just wanted to ask who this is. Do you think you have misunderstood?"

He Yuzhu then let go of his hand and said, "Da Mao, we have been getting along well during this period, so you'd better put away your little thoughts, otherwise, I, He Yuzhu, will not eat vegetarian food either."

"Don't worry, Master Zhu, we are brothers."

He Yuzhu didn't believe Xu Damao's words, not even a single punctuation mark! He Yuzhu thought to himself that he would have to give Song Xia a shot of prevention later.

"Master Zhu, what's wrong with this stingy old Yan?" Xu Damao asked, changing the subject.

"Didn't you hear? Yan Jiecheng's blind date failed because the second uncle's family has a bad reputation. It is estimated that their family's history of support was known to the girl's family, so Yan Jiecheng is making trouble with the second uncle," He Yuzhu explained.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao's heart moved, his eyes rolled around, and then he thought of something, but he didn't say anything, just watched the show with everyone else.

In the end, it was the first and third uncles who persuaded the people together that brought this farce to an end.

The four of them returned to He's house and chatted for a while. He Yuzhu looked at the time and it was almost eight o'clock, so He Yuzhu rode his bike to send Song Xia and Song Xiaomei home.

There was a bag on the handlebars of the bicycle with a watermelon in it. He Yuzhu gave it to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Song Xia didn't want it at first, but He Yuzhu said, "I have more at home. Besides, this is originally prepared for my uncle and aunt." Song Xiaomei liked eating watermelon very much, so she also said to take it home. Her parents also wanted to eat it, so Song Xia agreed.

A watermelon made Song Xia feel that He Yuzhu valued her, so she was very happy sitting in the back seat.

After sending them to the entrance of the alley, He Yuzhu let them go home by themselves. He did not go home. After watching the two of them enter the courtyard, He Yuzhu rode his bike back to the courtyard.

Xu family

Xu Damao was lying on the bed thinking about something. Today, he heard that the eldest brother of the Yan family failed in a blind date because of the Yan family's reputation. Xu Damao was thinking about how to take revenge on Yan Bugui.

Although Xu Damao usually smiles at everyone he sees, he is very petty. Every time he comes back from the countryside, Yan Bugui always tries to get something from him. Although those things are free and not worth much, this feeling makes him very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Xu Damao always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on the Yan family, but he had never had the chance. Today's incident seemed to be a good opportunity...
