Becoming a big boss in the courtyard starts with pork

He Yuyu was beside him, and in a short time, Zhang Xing had cooked the dishes.

He Yuyu brought the dishes to the table.

"Brother Xing, you had such a rich meal this time!"

Looking at the fried eggs with tomatoes and fried beef with green onions on the table, He Yuyu couldn't help but swallowed several times.

After the two of them were alone in the kitchen just now, He Yuyu's name for Zhang Xing had changed from "Chief Zhang" to "Brother Xing".

"Originally, I planned to just eat noodles and deal with it briefly."

"This is not because you are here. I can't let you just eat noodles with me."

Zhang Xing walked into the room with a smile, holding two bowls of scallion noodles in his hands.

The aroma of scallion oil immediately blended with the aroma of vegetables in the room.

"Brother Xing, I won't eat here. I can just go back and eat."

Smelling the fragrance in the air, as He Yuyu spoke, her mouth almost drooled.

"Everything is done, what are you going to eat?"

Seeing He Yuyu's cute look almost drooling, Zhang Xing couldn't help but smile.

"Besides, this meal was made with your help. Why don't you enjoy the fruits of your labor?"

Under Zhang Xing's strong persuasion, the hesitant He Yuyu finally decided to sit down and have dinner with him.

"Is it enough to eat? I have some good stuff here!"

With that said, under He Yuyu's curious gaze, Zhang Xing took out two canned fish from behind.

Of course, Zhang Xing took it out from the portable space. In He Yuyu's view, Zhang Xing took out two canned fish like a magic trick.

"Wow--"

"Brother Xing, you can also do tricks!"

He Yuyu looked adoring.

"Hey, it's amazing!"

Zhang Xing proudly opened two canned fish, placed them in front of He Yueyue, and pushed the rest of the dishes in front of He Yueyue.

"Eat quickly. If it's not enough, there will be something else, but you must eat well."

Seeing Zhang Xing thoughtfully pushing the dishes in front of him, He Yuyu felt an inexplicable touch in his heart.

"Rain, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing He Yuyu with his head lowered and silent, Zhang Xing frowned slightly and asked with concern.

He Yuyu lowered his head and his shoulders shook slightly.

After a while, she raised her head, her eyes sparkling with tears.

"Thank you Brother Xing."

"Silly girl, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xing looked at He Yuyu's expression of pear blossoms and rain, and quickly took out his handkerchief and handed it over.

He Yuyu took the handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then showed a big smile.

"I'm fine, Brother Xing, hehe."

"I just remembered something from the past. At that time, I never had enough to eat. If I went to someone's house during meal time, I would be kicked out."

Zhang Xing gave He Yuyu a piece of beef. He did not comfort He Yuyu, but was a good listener.

He Yuyu has lost his mother since he was a child, and his father ran away with a strange widow. His only brother took care of him.

If it weren't for the fact that the house in this courtyard couldn't be taken away, He Yuyu and He Yuzhu might not even have a place to stay now.

No one had ever cared about the two rooms in their house before, but fortunately there were people from the street who made the decision for them.

In addition, the houses of today are not comparable to those of later generations. Any house in this area can be sold for seven or eight figures.

He Yuzhu helps the kitchen in the hotel with chores, and can more or less make ends meet.

But He Yuyu was miserable. Except for He Yuzhu who brought her some leftovers, the rest of the time he could only go from house to house and eat hundreds of meals.

To put it nicely, it means eating from hundreds of families, but in reality it means going from door to door begging for food.

A few years ago, it was not as good as it is now. Most people lived hungry.

The rations for a family are not enough for my own family, so who would be willing to give it to a little girl who is not related by blood.

It's not just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, but giving it to her, so that her own children may not be able to eat it.

I had to endure countless rolls of eyes and harsh words in exchange for a bite to eat.

After He Yuyu finished talking, he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly wiped away his tears and apologized to Zhang Xing.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xing, I told you so many nonsense."

"It's okay, just say it. After all, it's over, and the days to come will get better and better."

Zhang Xing gave He Yuyu a big smile, which made He Yuyu feel the long-lost care.

"Here, try this canned fish."

After He Yuyu tasted it, he nodded and said.

"It's delicious. I eat radish and cabbage every day. I almost forgot what fish tastes like."

Zhang Xing was very pleased to see He Yuyu enjoying his meal.

"It's best to eat fresh fish, but I don't have a fishing rod now. Otherwise, if I catch a few fish, I can make you steamed fish, sweet and sour fish, or something like that."

Listening to Zhang Xing talking about how to cook various fish, He Yuyu showed a longing look on his face.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something.

"That's right, Brother Xing."

"The third uncle has a fishing rod at home. He used to go fishing when he had nothing to do. Sometimes he would have to show off one in the yard for a long time after catching one."

Zhang Xing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard there was a fishing rod. He was worried about this matter.

"Really?"

"That's great. I'll go borrow the fishing rod from Mr. Third later and see how many fish I can catch in the afternoon."

After hearing Zhang Xing's words, He Yuyu asked curiously.

"Brother Xing, are you going fishing this afternoon? Take me with you."

In fact, He Yuyu was not a fish that was greedy for Zhang Xing, but she thought that if she followed him, she would be able to spend another afternoon alone with Zhang Xing.

"Okay, I happen to have a bicycle and I will take you with me. You have to help me carry my things."

Zhang Xing thought that fishing alone was a bit boring, and He Yuyu could chat with him for a while, so he readily agreed.

"no problem!"

The two hit it off immediately and decided to borrow a fishing rod from the third uncle Yan Bugui soon and go fishing together.

After the two of them finished eating, He Yuyu took the initiative to take up the task of washing the dishes.

She saw that there was no water in Zhang Xing's small kitchen, so she took the bucket, plates and bowls to the central courtyard.

The middle courtyard has the only faucet in the entire courtyard.

"Yu Yu, why did it take you so long to come back?"

"I've finished all that food. If you want to eat it, you can make some yourself."

As soon as He Yuyu arrived in the middle courtyard, he saw He Yuzhu sitting at the door and enjoying the sun.

"Oh, no need. I met Brother Xing in the backyard just as he was cooking, so I ate with him."

"what?!"

He Yuzhu was sitting lazily on the stool. When he heard He Yuzhu's words, he almost jumped up from the stool.

"Brother Xing?"

"Which Brother Xing?"

"Zhang Xing!!!"
