Siheyuan: At the beginning, you can absorb good luck to stay alive.

Mei Wenhua was helping her uncle in the kitchen, too lazy to look at the faces of her neighbors.

But after his eldest uncle heard that Mei Wenhua had prepared a gift for himself, he didn't let him get involved.

"Little Wenhua, you just have to watch, you don't need to do anything!"

Mei Wenhua: "..." It's better if I don't need to do anything!

My uncle was very skilled in cooking, and the beef in the pot was cooked quickly.

Mei Wenhua was about to help put the plates, but she didn't expect her uncle to move faster. He put them in place with just a few strokes, without giving Mei Wenhua a chance to intervene.

have to! Really no need to help.

Mei Wenhua stood far away, letting her uncle play freely and focus on the system map.

Good guy!

I left for a while, and when I came back, there was a little celebrity. Not bad!

I looked at the location of the little celebrities, and found that they were in my own home. The first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle, Yan Bugui, the eldest mother and the deaf old lady were all the little celebrities.

It seems that during the period of time I left, something bad happened in the yard that was detrimental to my family.

Mei Wenhua plans to ask her sister again when she has time. Now is the time when she needs to replenish her luck. She didn't expect someone to deliver it to her door. You're welcome. For the sake of your door-to-door delivery, I will let you go first. Eat your meal.

It's not easy to take advantage of it, and you have to pay for it.

Eating our food increases the cause and effect, so don’t blame me for absorbing more luck points!

Thinking that he could absorb more luck points, Mei Wenhua didn't mind them coming to serve the meal. Anyway, he was sure to make a profit!

Soon the uncle had the dishes ready, and this time Mei Wenhua finally asked Mei Wenhua to help serve the dishes.

More than a dozen neighbors came, including three from Mei Wenhua's family and three from my uncle's family. There were about 20 people. Two tables were set up and they sat crowded together.

"Grandma Liu, deaf old lady, the food is ready. Please serve you two to the table. If you don't sit down, others won't dare to move." Mother Mei invited the two oldest people to serve first.

"Come on, let's go eat." Grandma Liu pulled the deaf old lady towards the dining table.

"Oh, this is so embarrassing! I should have gone back earlier. I couldn't bear to leave when I smelled the aroma of the food, so I shamelessly ate it."

"Madam, what are you talking about? Having more mouths for you means adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks. How much can you eat?" Mei's mother smiled and supported the deaf old lady.

"That's right, you can eat as much as you want, just to have more people join in the fun. That's how you get when you get older. You like the fun. Come visit more often when you have time!" Grandma Liu enthusiastically invited, "I'll ask my son to drive to pick you up. "

"No way, no way. How can I, a deaf old lady, have the nerve to cause you trouble?"

After Grandma Liu and the deaf old lady sat down, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle Yan Bugui and the first uncle sat down.

The four of them sat at the same table with Mei Wenhua and his family, and the remaining neighbors sat at the same table.

There are exactly ten people at a table, and the number of people is considered average.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Mei asked Grandma Liu to speak and ask her to take charge.

"Ahem! Then I will be a representative and say a few words to thank all the neighbors for caring about our little Wenhua. As soon as he comes back, everyone will come to visit him. Come on, Hua'er, say thank you to everyone." Grandma Liu cleared up. Clearing your throat and raising your voice.

After hearing Grandma Liu's words, Mei Wenhua stood up and said, "Thank you everyone!"

"Okay, Hua'er, be good, sit down!" Grandma Liu waved to Mei Wenhua, "Xiao Wenhua and his family can have neighbors like you. I am happy for them, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future. I won’t say much else, just use your chopsticks and don’t dislike it.”

"You're welcome, this is what we should do! As neighbors, everyone should help each other. This is also a fine tradition in our courtyard house." The first man, Yi Zhonghai, raised his voice and said.

The second uncle, Yan Bugui, cleared his throat, "Ahem! As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We are all destined to live in the same courtyard, so we should help each other..."

The second uncle wanted to continue talking, but when he noticed that Grandma Liu was putting meat into his sister's bowl, he stopped talking and quickly picked up the chopsticks to eat the vegetables.

The table next door was already eating in full swing.

"Hmm! It smells so good! How can this be a simple meal? I have never eaten such delicious food except during the Chinese New Year."

"Aunt Wu, what you said is right. Our family doesn't have so much meat and vegetables during the Chinese New Year. It seems that your family's living standard is high."

"It's the Chinese New Year! It only happens once a year. We usually live luxuriously and frugally, but we have to have a delicious meal during the Chinese New Year."

……

After about ten minutes of eating, the table next door finished all the food.

"Ah, there will be no food so soon. Can you please eat slowly?" A neighbor said loudly and deliberately.

"I'm here to add food to you." The uncle stood up, walked into the kitchen, and placed a large bowl of boiled cabbage on the table next door.

Then he returned to his seat and continued eating.

The neighbors looked at me and I looked at you, and then we all looked at a big bowl of cabbage.

They thought that their group would eat quickly and that Mei Wenhua and his family would add meat to them, but they didn't expect that they were only served a large bowl of cabbage!

Mei Wenhua's table is slightly better.

However, the meat dishes were basically finished, and only vegetarian dishes were left on the table.

However, many people still had meat in their bowls. The deaf old lady had been eating only meat, and there was still a small pile in the bowl.

The first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Yan Bugui silently picked up the rice and covered the meat in the bowl.

There were a few pieces of meat left in Auntie's bowl, and the rest was the chicken that Grandma Liu gave her in Sister Meilan's bowl.

Mei Wenhua and Mei's mother suffered a lot when they followed their aunt's family, and now they can only eat vegetarian dishes.

After Mei Wenhua ate the remaining rice in the bowl, he put the bowl down and said, "Grandma Liu, you all eat slowly, I'm full."

"Hua'er, are you full?" My uncle asked deliberately, "If you're not full, eat more vegetables. There are still a lot of vegetables. The Chinese cabbage is very sweet today."

"Follow us back later. We still have pastries at home, so we just have some room for some pastries." The aunt continued.

"Children shouldn't be picky eaters. It's good to eat vegetables. During the famine, we even ate tree roots and turf!" the deaf old lady taught.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm full. Eat slowly." Mei Wenhua got off the table directly.

snort! It was time to harvest the luck points, and Mei Wenhua used the system's ability against all his neighbors.

[Ding, the absorption was successful, 38 points of luck were absorbed from the deaf old lady, and the causal relationship was temporarily eliminated. 】

[Ding, the absorption was successful, 30 points of luck were absorbed from Yi Zhonghai, and the causal relationship was temporarily eliminated. 】

[Ding, the absorption was successful, 30 points of luck were absorbed from Yan Bugui, and the causal relationship was temporarily eliminated. 】

……

Mei Wenhua did not let go of any of the fourteen neighbors who came to dinner tonight, and absorbed them all.

A total of 365 luck points were absorbed, which was a pretty good harvest, just enough for one year.

The deaf old lady received the most points, 38 points, and the neighbor who received the least, 22 points.

The reaction of the deaf old lady was the most obvious. After being absorbed by Mei Wenhua, she had a reaction, "Why do I feel a little cold? Has the temperature dropped again?"

Mei Wenhua watched her reach for her back, maybe because she felt a chill in her back.

"Oh!"

I don't know if it was bad luck or she stretched out her hand too hard, but the deaf old lady turned her back and fell down from the bench.
