Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 44 Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha
The two walked back to the courtyard. Perhaps out of guilt, He Daqing bought a few meat buns at the street corner and brought them home.

Yi Zhonghai thought that he would have to go to the deaf old lady to discuss the plan, so it would be bad to go empty-handed. But he didn't want to pay for it himself, so he began to blackmail He Daqing morally.

"Why did you buy these two?"

He Daqing was stunned for a moment, then said, "How about I buy a few for you?"

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, I have given my woman to you, and you are just buying me a few meat buns. Am I wronging you?

Of course he couldn't admit that he wanted to eat, so he said, "The old lady in the backyard is alone and helpless. You are a cook, why don't you take care of her? Lao He, you should be filial.

You have to set a good example for Sha Zhu, otherwise, when you are old, Sha Zhu will still be disrespectful to you. "

He Daqing rolled his eyes and threw two meat buns at him: "I have no relationship with her, why should I be filial to her? When my wife was alive, she took advantage of her. My wife was so good to him, but she didn't help him when he was sick. Your filial piety is your business, and it has nothing to do with our family."

Yi Zhonghai said dissatisfiedly: "That was two years ago. Why are you still talking about that? Since when did being filial to elders require rewards?"

Being filial to the deaf old lady requires a reward, so being filial to him also requires a reward. If everyone wants a reward, how will he support himself in his old age?

This trend must not be allowed to continue.

He Daqing didn't care about that and went home with the remaining meat buns. It's so good to be free, why should he have more ancestors above his head?

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard with two meat buns in his hand, his face dark. He had spent so much money recently, and it was not enough to be frugal, so he would never spend money to buy meat buns.

Yan Bugui got up in the morning to water the flowers. When he saw the meat buns in He Daqing's hand, he subconsciously stopped He Daqing.

"Lao He, when did you go out?"

He Daqing dodged to the side to avoid Yan Bugui's dirty hands from touching his meat buns: "I went drinking with Lao Yi last night. He drank too much and didn't come back."

Yan Bugui licked his lips and said, "Where did you buy the meat buns? How about I help you taste them?"

He Daqing pushed his hand away: "No need. The meat buns sold at the breakfast shop at the corner of our street are absolutely excellent. If you want to eat them, go buy them!"

Yan Bugui was stopped by him and did not dare to continue. Without the blessing of the Third Master's status, he would not be so bold. What's more, the person in front of him was He Daqing, the most difficult one to mess with in the courtyard.

He Daqing ignored him and went home with the meat buns.

At home, Sha Zhu got up early and cooked a pot of porridge without doing anything else. As far as I can remember, He Daqing also bought meat buns and took them home after meeting the White Widow for the first time.

At that time, Sha Zhu was naive and had no idea why He Daqing bought the meat buns. He just ate like He Yushui.

In this life, he knew very well that this might be He Daqing's guilt towards them.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai took two buns and walked into the yard.

Yan Bugui was a little disappointed, thinking that he bought too little. Among the people in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was the easiest to talk to, and he cared about his reputation. If Yi Zhonghai had more meat buns, he could ask for one.

But there are only two now, so the possibility of getting them is probably slim.

"Old Yi is back. Did you buy some meat buns too?"

Yi Zhonghai certainly knew Yan Bugui's character. He was a person who liked to take advantage of others. He looked down on such people the most. He couldn't understand why the deaf old lady wanted him to have a good relationship with Yan Bugui.

He said that having a good relationship with Yan Bugui would bring unexpected benefits.

He didn't see what the benefits were, but he knew the disadvantages and knew that Yan Bugui would definitely take advantage of him.

He knew that Yan Bugui wanted meat buns, and if he bought more, he might give Yan Bugui one for the deaf old lady's plan.

But now there are only two, so I can’t give it to him. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to take a meat bun to see the deaf old lady.

"Old Yan, I don't have any money with me, so I bought two meat buns for the old lady in the backyard." The meaning was obvious, there was no share for you, so don't ask for it. Even if you ask, I won't give it to you. You can't snatch food from the old lady!
Yan Bugui certainly didn't dare, so he had to let Yi Zhonghai leave. Then he muttered behind his back: "How cunning! He eats meat buns outside while his wife eats steamed bread at home."

When Yi Zhonghai entered the middle courtyard, he ran into Jia Dongxu, who was driven out by Jia Zhangshi. The aroma of the buns brought back by He Daqing reached Jia Zhangshi's nose.

She knew that she had no ability to get the meat buns from He Daqing. But it didn't matter, there was still Yi Zhonghai. That old guy was the most hypocritical, and he would definitely be embarrassed to refuse.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to wait for Yi Zhonghai in the yard. When he saw the two meat buns in Yi Zhonghai's hand, he felt a little embarrassed.

Thinking that he would fail to complete the task, Jia Zhang would call Lao Jia, so he had no choice but to step forward and greet him: "Master, you are back. Have you eaten?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "I haven't eaten yet. Have you eaten yet?"

"I haven't yet. There is no food at home, so I won't have breakfast." Jia Dongxu began to play the victim.

Yi Zhonghai turned his head and glanced at the Jia family, and said, "You can't not eat. I'll ask your mistress to bring you two steamed buns later."

Sha Zhu, who was eating in the room, was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to the door to look outside. Yi Zhonghai had only two meat buns in his hand.

This is a little different.

Last time, Yi Zhonghai was holding six meat buns in his arms. When Jia Dongxu came forward, he gave two directly and took the remaining four to the backyard, preparing to eat them with the deaf old lady.

But he didn't expect that the old deaf lady was old and had a big appetite. She ate all four meat buns but was still not full. She ran to the middle yard with her cane and tricked Sha Zhu into giving her another one.

Sha Zhu had nothing to eat, so he coaxed half of it from He Yushui.

"Master Yi finished eating outside? Why did he only buy two meat buns?"

He Daqing snorted: "What do you mean he bought two meat buns? I gave them to him as a gift."

Could it be that the six meat buns in his previous life were also given to him by He Daqing?

But that's not right.

Both he and the deaf old lady said that the six meat buns were bought by Yi Zhonghai.

Thinking carefully about Yi Zhonghai's character, Sha Zhu felt that he was really capable of doing such a thing. After all, he would use this trick to help the Jia family in the future.

But why did this change happen?
"Why did you give him two meat buns? He doesn't need money, so he took the two meat buns home. Who should eat them, him or his wife?"

He Daqing said unhappily, "Who cares who eats? If you feel sorry for him, just give him your share."

You’re dreaming. I’d rather throw it away than give it to him.

Is this a meat bun?
It was the fuse of his entanglement.

Believe it or not, if you give him a gift this time and don’t give him a gift next time you buy something for him, he will say that you are unfilial.

"I'm not stupid. Why would I give it to him if I don't eat it myself?"

Sha Zhu thought that four meat buns were not enough for the deaf old lady, and now there were only two left, which was even less, so he said quickly: "Let's eat quickly. If he sends the buns to the old lady in the backyard, the old lady will not have enough to eat, and she will probably come to our house. Then, we won't be able to eat.

Rainwater, stop playing and eat quickly, or there will be nothing left.”

When He Yushui heard that someone was trying to snatch the meat bun from her, she became unhappy and started to take big bites of it.

He Daqing asked, "Will he really send the meat buns to the old lady in the backyard?"

"No. See for yourself."
