Siheyuan: Retirement is a moment of pleasure, but it is heartbroken to regret

"Could it be possible that the system is divided into male and female? If that's the case, do you want me to find it for you?"

This time it was the system's turn to stop talking, only the faint sound of crying.

"It turns out that this is my greatest sorrow."

Li Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

Immediately afterwards, a large piece of pork head meat, a bag of cornmeal, etc. were poured out.

"Uh, are these your tears?"

"Yes, it's all rewarded to you."

When Li Chuan came home, Lou Xiaoe was tinkering with a large stack of zongzi wrappers in her hand, folding them into the shape of zongzi.

Next to it is soaked glutinous rice, not much, and the big bowl of the fist is full.

"What are you doing?"

Li Chuan thought that although the Dragon Boat Festival is close, there is no need to eat so early.

"Practice your hands, the elder sisters and sisters-in-law in the yard order one for each of them, and the quality of the goods delivered by the time will not be uneven. It will embarrass you by then."

Lou Xiao'e is very concerned about Li Chuan's affairs, seeing how Lou Xiao'e is doing things seriously.

Li Chuan's heart warmed, and he hugged Lou Xiao'e from behind.

"Honey, it's very kind of you, don't do these tasks, let's go to work first."

Lou Xiao'e's pretty face flushed, and she glanced at Li Chuan.

"No, I'll take it to the courtyard house to taste for the sisters later. Don't disturb my work."

Li Chuan had no choice but to let Lou Xiao'e work, and he would be satisfied by eating tofu once in a while.

Lou Xiaoe refused while doing things.

After a while, zongzi with peculiar shapes came out one by one, with a wafting fragrance.

Li Chuan casually picked up a zongzi, but Lou Xiaoe snatched it away.

"You can't eat this. I wrapped this best. I'll show them to take a good look at it later."

"Here, you can eat this."

Lou Xiaoe took the last and ugliest one to Li Chuan, and said sophistry.

"This is the most delicious, try it."

Li Chuan smiled and didn't bother with her, he peeled off the zongzi and started eating.

"Well, it really is the most delicious."

Lou Xiaoe looked at Li Chuan in surprise, and then laughed like a little girl.

"Okay, I'm going to take all these things to the courtyard."

"I will go with you."

Li Chuan took the basket in Lou Xiao'e's hand, put his arms around Lou Xiao'e and went to the courtyard.

The siheyuan was full of voices, all of which were voices of women and children. The children ate a big rice dumpling with a round belly, and the women rolled up their sleeves and worked happily.

The whole yard was filled with the smell of food. Seeing Li Chuan coming with his arms around Lou Xiaoe, several women chattered and took care of the two to find a place to stay.

Li Chuan casually picked up a child and put it on his lap, making jokes with the child that adults often say.

Lou Xiaoe took a look, walked over with the basket, and shared the zongzi she made with a few women.

"Oh, Lou Xiao'e, your dumplings are well wrapped, tight and square."

"Don't talk about it. You were almost eaten by Li Chuan just now. Fortunately, I stopped you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see it."

While talking, Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Chuan, but there was no sense of blame in her words, but a little more showing off.

"Yo, you are cooking and Li Chuan is still by your side. I am so happy."

The woman with a keen mind immediately sensed what Lou Xiao'e meant, and said it out loud, causing a commotion among the crowd.

Li Chuan looked at Lou Xiao'e with love in his eyes, and Lou Xiao'e also looked back happily.

The booing became louder.

It is at this time that the neighbors in the neighborhood get together like a family.

I don't know where there is an extra voice, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Hey, have you heard that the second uncle is very ill now, and he is almost dying."

"Really, who did you listen to?"

"I still need to hear people say that this matter has been spread long ago, and I have not come out of the hospital today."

"..."

Li Chuan knew that the news of the second uncle's serious illness would spread soon, but he didn't expect that it would be known to everyone so soon.

"The second uncle's position is not necessary..."

The man didn't say the latter words, but the meaning was already obvious, and because the second uncle didn't have anyone yet, he didn't finish talking.

Lou Xiao'e also listened to it by the way, unlike others who were sneaky, but said it out loud.

"Even if he leaves, it won't be our turn. It's better for us not to have such crooked thoughts."

"That's right, hurry up and do your own thing."

Someone who didn't care about other people's business immediately stood up to smooth things over, and a group of people with broken mouths were not convinced and stared back.

The aunt stood up, "Is the zongzi in your hand wrapped up? If someone's zongzi can't be done well later, I won't make a big fuss. Be careful that the meat bun will hit the dog, and there will be no return."

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Small laughter came from a distance, wait and listen to know whose voice it is.

It was the third mother who was pestering Li Chuan at noon today.

"Hehe, I heard you talking and laughing from a distance. What did you say? I'll listen to you too, Auntie."

The third mother has always been a caring person, and she is not very popular in the courtyard.

But I couldn't help those people who like to play tricks on talking. Seeing that the third mother was also concerned about this matter, she immediately said, "It's not about the second uncle. Who doesn't know that he is terminally ill, so why bother to cover it up."

"Ah, you said the second uncle, Chuan'er was responsible for what happened today. Chuan'er should know the current situation best."

The three mothers pretended to be surprised, and focused everyone's eyes on Li Chuan, who immediately felt as if he was being pricked by a needle.

"Uh, I did recite it."

Everyone started to bring up old stories again, "Chuan'er is a good kid, and other people's fathers can also recite it. I think this kid will definitely make great achievements in the future."

"Don't tell me, he is quite capable now."

"..."

Li Chuan and Lou Xiao'e's complexions suddenly turned pale, and they sat there dryly.

The three mothers covered their mouths and snickered, this kid even made a fool of himself today.

This time, let him also taste the feeling of being deflated.

It was only after she got home and listened to the shopkeeper's analysis that she realized that she had been put on by Li Chuan.

At that time, she couldn't stop her anger, she was considered a decent elder after all, this Li Chuan didn't know how to respect the old and love the young.

"Speaking of which, what's wrong with the second uncle? Is he exhaling more and taking less air?"

"I just sent the second uncle there, and I don't know the rest."

Li Chuan lowered his eyes, feeling that the lady who was asking the question was not very polite, that something happened in her family, she was just gloating about it, and she still spoke so badly.

"Li Chuan, if you tell the truth, we can rest assured."

"That's right, talk!"

"Oh, why are you acting like a boring gourd?"
