Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 508 Situation
At this time, everyone in the courtyard had already returned home from get off work, and the children were chasing and playing in the courtyard, which seemed a bit noisy.

In the front yard, with a straight face, Yan Bugui waved away some children watching the excitement, so as not to accidentally break his beloved fishing rod by these bratty children.

He was thinking about resting tomorrow, going fishing outside the city and coming back to subsidize his family!

Then, he turned around, and suddenly saw Lou Xiaoe and Lin Tieniu walking in from the Chuihua Gate one after the other, and they seemed to be quite familiar.

Immediately, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, not understanding how Lou Xiao'e got together with Lin Tieniu, a good-for-nothing!

Originally, a few days ago, he wanted to remind Lin Tieniu not to forget to invite him to dinner, but then he heard that Lin Tieniu had to eat seven or eight big steamed buns for a meal, and he immediately started fighting. He retreated, and even worried that Lin Tieniu would come back and ask him to borrow food.

Therefore, he never went to Dongkua Courtyard to look for Lin Tieniu.

At the same time, Lin Tieniu also saw Yan Bugui standing in a daze with a fishing rod in his hand.

"Third Master, busy!"

"Hey, yes, get a fishing rod!"

Yan Bugui came back to his senses, and said with a smile.

As he spoke, he glanced at Lou Xiaoe, and then asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Lou Xiaoe was going to say hello to Yan Bugui, but before she could speak, Lin Tieniu took the lead. After hearing Yan Bugui's words, she immediately understood that Lin Tieniu was not lying, otherwise, Yan Pugui would not have lied. I wouldn't say that.

At this time, when she heard Yan Bugui's question, she hurriedly explained: "Third Master, I was riding a bicycle at the entrance of the alley just now, and I almost bumped into Lin Tieniu, and then I wanted to invite him to my house for a meal. , as an apology to him."

"You invite him to dinner?"

Yan Bugui was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with a face full of surprise.

"Yes! Is there a problem?"

Lou Xiao'e looked confused, so she nodded and asked, she didn't understand why Yan Bugui had such a big reaction when he heard about it?

"No problem!"

Seeing this, Yan Bugui hurriedly waved his hands and said.

Although he felt that it was a very stupid decision for Lou Xiaoe to invite Lin Tieniu to dinner, he still didn't dare to say the name of the rice bucket directly in front of Lin Tieniu because of his affection.

"Well! Let's go back then!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Yan Bugui with some doubts, and then, without thinking too much, she directly offered to leave.

"OK! OK!"

Yan Bugui smiled and nodded in agreement, then stood and looked at the backs of Lou Xiaoe and Lin Tieniu, wondering what kind of expression Lou Xiaoe would have after seeing Lin Tieniu's appetite.

Soon, Lou Xiaoe and Lin Tieniu walked into the middle courtyard, and they ran into Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu standing and chatting by the sink.

However, they seemed to be a little absorbed in the chat, and they didn't notice Lou Xiaoe and Lin Tieniu at all, and they could hear a burst of giggles from a distance.

Lin Tieniu took a look at Lou Xiaoe, and found that she didn't seem to be surprised by this at all, and she didn't intend to come forward to say hello.

Presumably, on the one hand, it was because they were not interested in getting involved in Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu's mess, and on the other hand, it was also because Xu Damao and Sha Zhu had never been able to deal with each other very well.

Moreover, there is also the reason for Lou Xiaoe's own mentality.

After all, no matter how you say it, she is also a genuine young lady. Although she doesn't look down on Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, she definitely doesn't have the idea of ​​getting close.

Therefore, in the original play, apart from being close to the deaf old lady, Lou Xiao'e basically didn't see her have much contact with the people in the courtyard.

This also laid the foundation for her to be plotted by the people in the courtyard.

Just when Lou Xiaoe pushed the bicycle past Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, Lin Tieniu smiled slightly, and suddenly shouted: "Master He, Sister Qin, what are you talking about? I can hear your laughter from afar. Sheng, did something good happen?"

"what!"

When Qin Huairu heard the voice, she couldn't help exclaiming, as if she was a little frightened.

Silly Zhu immediately turned around when he heard the words, then frowned slightly and looked at Lin Tieniu and Lou Xiaoe, as if he was blaming Lin Tieniu for interrupting his happy time with Qin Huairu.

"Lin Tieniu, Lou Xiaoe, who are you?"

Soon, Qin Huairu came back to his senses, saw Lou Xiaoe and Lin Tieniu together, and asked with some doubts.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e could only open her mouth to explain the reason again.

"Hey! Lou Xiao'e, if you want me to tell you, don't ride your bicycle on the road anymore. If you really bump into someone one day, and then knock him out, then you won't end up so easily!"

Silly Zhu let out a laugh, and then persuaded him solemnly.

"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it!"

Lou Xiaoe stared, and said angrily.

In that way, she is just like a wayward young lady.

However, she does have willful capital now. After all, their family is still a shareholder of the rolling mill, and they have some status in the world, which can be regarded as quite powerful.

"Okay, count me as talkative!"

Seeing this, Sha Zhu immediately curled his lips and said, with a hint of resentment on his face.

"Okay, don't say a word, no one will think you are dumb!"

Qin Huairu glared at Silly Zhu, and complained in a low voice.

In her opinion, Shazhu is good everywhere, but this mouth is really too much, how can he persuade people like this, isn't this cursing people for accidents?
"Then I'm also doing it for her, okay?"

Silly Zhu said with some disapproval.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Qin Huairu and Shazhu singing together, and her face suddenly became a little ugly.

Although she knew that living here would inevitably lead to socializing with the neighbors in the courtyard, and she was willing to improve the relationship with the neighbors, but this person who was not in the hospital would use words to provoke her from time to time!

Basically either she's a capitalist's daughter or she's a hen that doesn't lay eggs.

If it weren't for the fact that her relationship with the deaf old lady was not bad, I'm afraid the people in the courtyard would have gone too far.

Therefore, she can only try her best not to associate with people in the courtyard, and not to get involved in the affairs of the courtyard.

Lin Tieniu stood by and watched the scene quietly, and gained a better understanding of the situation in the courtyard house.

At the beginning, some things seemed nothing special, but after so many film and television worlds, he could easily perceive Lou Xiaoe's real situation, as well as Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu's self-contained allies. tacit agreement.

From this, it can also be deduced why each courtyard happens to have an uncle, and Yi Zhonghai, an uncle, favors Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu so much.

Here, in addition to the reasons for retirement, the main reason is the alliance of interests.

It's like in the original play, when Xu Damao's old hen was lost, and seeing Shazhu cooking chicken soup, he immediately asked Lou Xiao'e to go to Liu Haizhong to uphold justice instead of Yi Zhonghai who lived the closest.

This is precisely because Liu Haizhong is the uncle of the backyard, representing the interests of the residents in the backyard.

If it wasn't for Yi Zhonghai's wit and scheming, he had recognized the deaf old lady as his godmother early on, and he had taken advantage of his older age, maybe he would have been dragged down by Liu Haizhong to become the second uncle.

Similarly, the reason why Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong became the uncles in the courtyard was that apart from their age, the main reason was that their family had a large population. Even if they voted, they had to be the uncles.

After all, it's all about profit.

The reason why Shazhu often brings lunch boxes to Qin Huairu is not only greedy for each other's body, but also part of the reason is their alliance relationship.

Therefore, if Lin Tieniu wants to really gain a foothold in this courtyard, he has to choose one of the forces to join in, as if he stayed in the middle courtyard last time and had a relatively good relationship with Shazhu, so he didn't wait for him. Choosing by himself, he was assigned to Yi Zhonghai's side by the people in the courtyard.

Later, if it wasn't because he became the director of the guest house and possessed extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't have broken the inherent interest system so easily and made everyone in the courtyard revolve around him.

Now, although he still has all the skills, but in order to be more stable in the future, he still needs to penetrate into the enemy's interior, so as to enjoy his life silently.

However, after thinking about it carefully in his heart, he felt that it seemed inappropriate to choose either side.

Because if he wants to take down Lou Xiaoe, Qin Huairu, and Yu Li respectively, he will definitely offend Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, and Yan Xiecheng, and he will offend Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui. , which is simply unsolvable.

In addition, he also thought of an idiom, which is called the source of both sides.

Instead of joining in, it is better to always walk on the edge of the three parties and become the last straw that crushes the camel.

After having an idea, Lin Tieniu immediately showed concern, and asked, "That's right! Sister Qin, have you told Master He about borrowing food?"

"Borrowing food? What borrowing food?"

Silly Zhu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at Qin Huairu full of doubts and asked.

"."

Qin Huairu opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Master He, that's the case. Sister Qin went to the cafeteria to find me at noon today, and told me that the house was almost out of steam, and she wanted to borrow some food from me."

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu hurriedly explained.

As he said that, he showed a embarrassed expression, and then said: "You also know that I also borrowed food from you. There is no surplus food at home to lend to Sister Qin, so I asked her to ask you to see if I could Let me borrow some food from you for emergencies."

"What? Didn't she tell you?"

After listening to Lin Tieniu's words, Shazhu's face darkened, and he asked with some displeasure: "Qin Huairu, is what Lin Tieniu said true? Why didn't you tell me about your difficulties?"

He didn't expect that Qin Huairu would rather ask Lin Tieniu to borrow money than come to him to borrow money, which made him feel underestimated, and even betrayed by Qin Huairu.

"Aren't I embarrassed to borrow it from you again!"

Qin Huairu's brains turned sharply, and then she quickly found an excuse, and said with her head slightly lowered.

The whole person looked as if he had been wronged.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Why are you being polite to me? Just tell me how much you need to borrow, and I'll go back to the house and get it for you!"

Seeing this, Sha Zhu hurriedly waved his hands, and said with a serious face.

"Then you lend me ten catties of stick noodles first!"

Qin Huairu saw that Shazhu was successfully fooled by him, so he hurriedly said.

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but glanced at Lin Tieniu angrily, secretly blaming Lin Tieniu for being meddlesome.

Originally, she wanted to wait until night to borrow food from Shazhu, and borrow some money to buy meat for the children, but now she can only borrow some stick noodles, which can be said to be a big loss.

Lin Tieniu noticed Qin Huairu's small eyes, and felt a burst of joy in his heart. Then, while Silly Zhu went back to the house to get food, he also immediately bid farewell, and walked towards the backyard with Lou Xiaoe.

Qin Huairu looked at their backs, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Soon, Lou Xiaoe took Lin Tieniu to the door of her house, and then shouted loudly into the house.

"Da Mao, Da Mao!"

"Hey, Ezi, you're back!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a response from the room, and then Xu Damao opened the door and came out.

Just when he was about to welcome his daughter-in-law home with a smile all over his face, he suddenly saw Lin Tieniu standing behind Lou Xiaoe, and the smile on his face froze immediately.

Afterwards, he frowned suddenly, stared at Lin Tieniu with a hostile face, and asked, "Ezi, who is this person?"

"Oh! He is a new neighbor in our hospital, his name is Lin Tieniu!"

Lou Xiaoe pursed her lips and introduced with a smile.

"Lin Tieniu?"

Xu Damao was taken aback for a moment, then immediately remembered what Liu Haizhong had said to him before, and a dazed look flashed across his face.

However, he quickly realized a problem, and hurried forward to pull Lou Xiao'e aside, and asked with a serious face, "What's going on? How did you meet him?"

There's no way, but any man can't calm down when he sees his daughter-in-law walking with such a handsome and tall man.

Seeing that Xu Damao was so nervous, Lou Xiao'e didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly told the story of her almost hitting Lin Tieniu while riding a bicycle.

After hearing this, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, when Lou Xiaoe said that he would invite Lin Tieniu to have a meal at home, he didn't refuse, but nodded and agreed.

It just so happened that he also wanted to find out about Lin Tieniu, the new monitor of the cafeteria, to see if there was anything he could use.

Soon, he and Lou Xiaoe laughed and invited Lin Tieniu into the house.

Moreover, perhaps because he wanted to show his strength in front of Lin Tieniu, Xu Damao took out a bag of peanuts and a bottle of fine wine from the cabinet as soon as he entered the room and put them on the table, and he did not forget to order Lou Xiaoe to put them on the table. He took out some of the mountain goods he brought back to entertain Lin Tieniu.

These days, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy these mountain products.

Therefore, it is perfect for showing strength.
