Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 229
"Zi!"

Lin Tieniu reached out and poured a large plate of fatty pork into the pot. With the sound of deep frying, a strong meaty smell wafted in the yard.

Everyone looked forward to it one after another, and their throats couldn't help but surge up.

The brats who were playing around also gathered around one by one, staring unblinkingly at the boiling pork in the cauldron, with a trace of water gradually oozing from the corners of their mouths.

"Haha, today we are lucky, the food made by Tieniu is really delicious!"

The three mothers said with a greedy face.

"That's right, I can eat a few big steamed buns just by smelling it."

The second aunt said immediately.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, the other women couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, sister, why do I feel that you are a little different from before?"

Seeing Qin Huairu's radiant face, Qin Jingru asked with some doubts.

"Is there? Maybe it's the New Year's Eve!"

Qin Huairu's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile.

"Oh!"

Qin Jingru nodded suspiciously, then turned to glance at Lin Tieniu.

Vaguely, she felt that this must have something to do with Lin Tieniu.

"Let's go! Let's put away the dishes and chopsticks. It's time to serve the food later."

Seeing Qin Jingru's expression, Qin Huairu hurriedly changed the subject and urged.

When Qin Jingru heard this, she didn't bother to think about it any more, and continued to get busy with Qin Huairu.

"The dishes are here!"

Sha Zhu yelled excitedly, and brought a large pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms to the table.

With a huff, there were bear children around him, staring at the chicken in the basin and swallowing their saliva.

"Go, go, don't make trouble here, I will call you after dinner."

Yan Bugui hastily stepped forward to reprimand him, and rescued Shazhu. By the way, he secretly grabbed a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth while no one was paying attention.

"Hey, third master, you are outrageous!"

Sha Zhu frowned, and said.

"Well, oh, it's a taste to help the blind!"

Yan Bugui bit the chicken and said vaguely.

"Success, you really know how to think about it."

Silly Zhu said a little angrily.

Not long after, delicious and fragrant dishes were served on the table one after another.

Everyone also took their seats and waited for the meal. There were a hundred and eighty people in the courtyard, and the entire middle courtyard was full.

Lin Tieniu put down the spatula, and was dragged by Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to sit on the main table at the front. The old ancestor in the yard, the deaf old lady, sat next to him.

The deaf old lady looked at Lin Tieniu, smiled and said, "Boy, it's really thanks to you! Our yard hasn't been this lively for a long time."

"Old lady, you're flattering me. After all, I'm also a member of this courtyard, so I should do my best."

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly and said modestly.

"You have a good heart, but your temper is too serious, so you are not a master who can suffer."

The deaf old lady took a deep look at Lin Tieniu and said with some emotion.

"Haha! You will eat more later."

Lin Tieniu said with a smile.

"Hey! You kid is turning a corner and telling me to shut up!"

The deaf old lady said angrily.

"Co-authoring you is not a master who can suffer!"

Lin Tieniu frowned, and said calmly.

"Ha ha!"

The deaf old lady was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

At this time, Liu Haizhong saw that everyone was already seated, he hurriedly stood up with a smile and said loudly: "Well, today is New Year's Eve, let me say a few words first!"

"In the past years, we had our New Year's Eve dinner behind closed doors, but this year, with Lin Tieniu's strong support, we had this time to have a New Year's Eve dinner together in the yard. Thank you, Lin Tieniu, everyone."

"In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you a proposal. In this new year and new weather, I propose that Lin Tieniu be the leader of our courtyard from next year. Do you think it is good?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a voice of applause and approval from below.

"it is good!"

"Okay, just do it!"

"Yes, I agree."

"."

In the crowd, Xu Damao echoed loudly with excitement, and did not forget to show Lin Tieniu a flattering smile.

During this period of time, his reputation in the courtyard house and the factory has deteriorated a lot. Many people he met through Lou's family also intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from him, which made his life much more difficult.

After much deliberation, he felt that only Lin Tieniu could help him change this situation, so whenever he had the opportunity, he would unabashedly show his kindness.

Lin Tieniu glanced at Xu Damao with some amusement, then got up and waved his hands, and said loudly: "Well, thank you for your kindness, I am still young, and I am not very familiar with the affairs of our courtyard. Come on!"

"Don't worry, no matter whether I am the leader of our courtyard or not, I will definitely help with the affairs of this courtyard in the future. Everyone, let's eat first! Otherwise, the dishes will not taste good when they get cold."

Hearing his words, Liu Haizhong wanted to persuade him again, but he pressed him down immediately.

Yan Bugui knew Lin Tieniu's character well, so he didn't open his mouth to persuade him.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then, without knowing who moved the chopsticks first, everyone shook off their arms and started eating.

Shortly after,
BangGong suddenly ran out of the house and shouted with tears streaming down his face: "Mom, Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

"Bang!" a voice.

Qin Huairu stared at the stick with wide eyes, and dropped the bowl in his hand on the table.

Then, her eye sockets became a little blurred with a "swish", she stood up trembling all over, stumbled and ran towards the stick, and hugged the stick into her arms.

In this way, the two mother and son cried together, as if they wanted to vent all the torture and grievance they had suffered during this period.

Everyone looked at this scene with surprised expressions on their faces, and even more people began to clap their hands and applaud.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Tieniu quietly pulled Qin Jingru out of the courtyard and walked towards Yiqu Garden.

On the street, the brats ran around, lighting a firecracker from time to time.

"Crack! Crack!"

The sound exploded, and the smell of gunpowder smoke came, arousing his memory of Nian.

In his previous life, he hadn't felt such a strong flavor of the New Year for many years, and he didn't expect that he would be able to experience it for himself in this world.

This feeling is really good!
"Brother Niu, I want to play too!"

Qin Jingru looked at the firecrackers in the hands of those bratty children, and said eagerly.

"Okay! Then let's hurry up, there are firecrackers at Yiqu Garden."

Lin Tieniu was also aroused when he heard the words, and nodded with a smile.

"Ok!"

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to pull Lin Tieniu to walk quickly into the distance.

In a burst of "cracking" sounds, they gradually drifted away, and soon left the alley.
