Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Brother, I think these two boys really don't know anything."

Someone whispered to Xie Lianggong.

"How can two young men have such courage?"

Xie Lianggong nodded thoughtfully.

Looking at the two little guys who were as frightened as quails caught in the rain, he pondered for a moment and said lazily: "In this way, you can take the things and sell them as usual. When they are sold out, let me know and someone will follow you to restock the goods. ."

"Do you understand?"

The big men on both sides saw that the two boys were too frightened to reply, so they quickly pushed them.

"Brother asked you a question and you still haven't answered it?!"

Yan Jiekuang and Liu Guangfu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes, got it."

"Okay, okay, we are obedient."

Xie Lianggong smiled.

"That's right. As long as you obey, everyone will eat meat and you will have a sip of soup."

"Go."

Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang scrambled to their feet and almost forgot to carry their baskets before going out.

"Hey! Get your stuff!"

A man reminded loudly.

The two boys crawled over again, grabbed the basket on their backs, and rolled out with apologetic smiles on their faces.

Watching them leave, Xie Lianggong sneered coldly and leaned back in his chair in a relaxed manner.

"Brother, look, who is behind these two boys?"

"Either he is a stupid young man who got lucky, or he just wants to use these two brats to establish a relationship with us."

Xie Lianggong thought for a moment and said calmly.

"Last time we grabbed goods, we didn't grab anyone named Jiang. We only had a limited number of items on hand, and it was the time when they were out of stock."

"These two boys just showed up and handed us pillows just because they were dozing off."

"Tell me, are there such coincidences in the world?"

Another person answered immediately.

"Then, could this be a trap set by someone with good intentions?"

Xie Lianggong raised his index finger and shook it gently.

"Now, it's hard to say."

"Anyway, the lack of supply is a fact. He happened to use good goods to catch me. Then you might as well follow his path for a few steps to see clearly what this person is planning."

"If we can take this opportunity to ship a batch of goods, it will solve our urgent need."

"Then...brother, who do you think the person behind is?"

Xie Lianggong let out a sigh of relief.

"There's a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in this part of the capital. I really can't guess who it is."

"But it won't be the one named Jiang anyway."

"He's just an old man, but he doesn't have that much ability."

In this compartment, Xie Lianggong and others were thinking deeply, while in that compartment, He Yudong, who was baiting, was very comfortable.

"Yi Zi, I will work overtime tonight. The time is to be determined. If it is really late, I will go to live in the courtyard."

"Is it okay over there? In such a cold weather, the pots and stoves over there are cold, and the kangs are all cold, right?"

"I've entrusted someone to take care of our house. I usually sweep the dust and burn the kang in winter. It's okay to go back and stay overnight occasionally."

The main reason is that as soon as He Yudong comes home, the family dog ​​barks, making the noise known to all the neighbors. Ran Qiuye had to get up because she wanted to nurse the baby, so she had not slept well at first.

Anyway, it's just for a night's sleep. You can still live in a small room in a large courtyard. If you make do, it won't be a big problem.

When the overtime work is over, it is already the beginning of the moon.

The stars are sparse and the moon is bright, as I ride my bike back, I can only hear the barking of dogs in the distance and feel that the journey is far away.

It has been a long time since I came back to the hut in the courtyard.

However, there is no dusty smell when entering the room, the lights are good, and there is no dust on the table.

The stove was stuffed with firewood to stifle the fire, and the kang was warm.

The house has been well taken care of and has not lost its popularity.

He Yudong opened the stove and prepared a bowl of noodles for himself as a midnight snack.

As soon as the water in the pot boiled, the door was pushed open.

"When I saw that the lights in your room were on and there was smoke, I knew it was you who was back."

Yu Li, who was still a beautiful woman, leaned against the door, speaking softly, but with a hint of resentment on her face.

"You... haven't been back for a long time."

"I've been helping you take care of this house. Look, is it still satisfactory?"

He Yudong turned around and smiled.

"Sister Yu Li, thank you for your hard work."

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

Yu Li closed the door, put down the thick curtain, came over and closed the curtain, and sat down at the table.

"I couldn't sleep, so I got up and walked around. I saw the light in your room turned on. I thought you were back, so I came over to take a look."

"I haven't seen you for so long, I'm still wondering."

He Yudong did not answer directly, but just poured a handful of noodles into the pot.

"Sister Yu Li, if you really can't sleep, come and have a supper with me."

Yu Li smiled sweetly.

"You don't have anything here, so why don't you just eat bald noodles?"

"Then please go and get me a green onion, Sister Yu Li. Let's have a simple Yangchun noodles tonight."

"Okay, I'll get it right away."

The chest of drawers is locked, so even if Yu Li often comes to clean the room, she won't know what's inside. Taking this as cover, He Yudong took out lard, salt, soy sauce, and ground sesame oil.

The water in the pot has boiled.

Put in the noodles and after boiling, add half a bowl of cold water and continue to cook for a few dozen seconds.

Take two large white porcelain bowls, put a little salt, lard, light soy sauce, and chopped green onion at the bottom of the bowl, rinse with hot water, and stir.

At this time, take out the noodles, drain them with a strainer, and put them into a bowl.

Then put a few drops of sesame oil on the noodles to enhance the flavor.

This becomes two bowls of simple plain noodles.

The rich aroma of green onions, accompanied by the faint meaty aroma of lard, makes you feel warm in your stomach after eating a steaming bowl of it on a cold winter night, and a thin layer of sweat oozes from your back, driving away the chill all over your body.

It can be considered a small and beautiful experience.

Especially, the person eating with me under the lamp is a beauty.

Yu Li hesitated for a long time, then spoke softly.

"Yudong, you...won't you come back to stay permanently in the future?"

"Yes, after all, the place over there is big and two children can more or less live in it, but this place is still too small."

"Then... what sister asked you before..."

Yu Li begged.

"Sister, I won't hide it from you. I don't want anything else. I just want to have a son by my side."

"To be honest, the man I married has no ability to give me another son. Otherwise, after so many years, I wouldn't be just such a girl."

"Sister, please help me with this."

He Yudong chuckled.

"Sister Yu Li, let's not say whether I agree or not. How can you be sure that the child born will definitely be a son?"

"What if I have another daughter? What will you do? Ask me to borrow her again? Do you think I am rare?"

Yu Li choked.

"Besides, I also have a son. If you give birth to this one, it looks more and more like the one in my family... What do you think they will say, and what will happen to us?"

"Sister Yu Li, let's dream something realistic."

He Yudong smiled softly, stood up, walked behind Yu Li, put his hands on her shoulders, and whispered in her ear.

"Sister Yu Li, take this little money and buy some delicious food for the little girl to make her fatter."

"The little girl is so skinny. I feel sad when I see her."

"Sister Yu Li, be obedient."

"Be good, I promise, you can live a good life."
