The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

The heavy rain came quickly and went away even faster. It rained for less than an hour and suddenly stopped, but the sun didn't come out.

Just when those people in the yard who had no sheds or had simple sheds were feeling very happy, suddenly a strong smell of rice wafted out.

"Hmm, it smells good? Whose house is burning? Why do I smell the fragrance of chicken?" someone said while sniffing.

"Who else could make it? It must be He Yuzhu. Who else has such skills? But they are really lucky. At this point, I think it's good enough to have something hot to eat. Look at them, their standards have never been lowered." Someone said.

"Hey! The cook is the best. Let's start cooking. We are starving. We only have some cornmeal left at home. The grain store outside is closed. I don't know if we can make it through."

"Hey, isn't it? This person is really annoying. I still have some pickles, so I'll make do with them. I hope this damn earthquake will end soon."

……

Just like that, after a while, every family that had food started to cook.

In the middle courtyard, after the rain stopped, Li Xuelian started to chase people away, "Qin Huairu, hurry up, take your daughter back quickly, I still have to clean up and sleep at night, it's so wet."

"This..." Qin Huairu hesitated. She really didn't want to go out. After all, Xiaolian's leg was still injured! What about the night?

"What's this and that? Do you want to stay here? Hurry up, don't blame me for being angry. The rain has stopped now, so go out and do it yourselves." Li Xuelian said.

"Hey! Huairu, your Aunt Li is right. Look, our bed is all wet by you. We have to dry it out before we can rest at night! Go and get the bed in the room now! Just make it up. We definitely can't go back to sleep in the room tonight." Yi Zhonghai suggested.

"Okay! Let Xiao Lian lie down for a while. I'll go to the room and move the bed right away. Is that okay? Uncle Yi."

"Okay, go ahead." Yi Zhonghai agreed.

"Hmph! You took it away before I finished cooking. What bad luck!" Li Xuelian cursed.

After a while, Qin Huairu and her daughter moved the bed out, but building a shed was really not something they could do, not to mention that their family had no materials at all.

There was no choice but to move the bed out. At Li Xuelian's urging, Xiao Lian was helped to her own bed.

At this moment, Xiaodang's stomach started to growl. "Mom, let's cook too! My stomach is growling." Xiaodang said.

When Qin Huairu heard Xiaodang's words, her face was full of bitterness, because she had just checked and saw that half of her kitchen had collapsed, and the little food she had was buried underneath.

"Xiaodang, you have also seen our kitchen, this..." Qin Huairu said bitterly.

"Mom, what should we do?" Xiao Dang said as he looked at Yi Zhonghai and his wife who were eating not far away.

"Is this... okay?" Qin Huairu said, "I see they didn't make much, just two steamed buns and some pickles."

"Mom, I think they only need to eat half of it. Isn't this a special time? We can't do it the same as before." Xiao Dang said shamelessly.

"Well, let me try it!" Qin Huairu said and actually walked over.

Seeing Qin Huairu coming over, Yi Zhonghai looked up at Qin Huairu in confusion and asked, "Huairu, you don't want me to build a shed for you, do you? I can't do it at my age. My waist almost broke just now."

"No, Uncle Yi, my family's food is buried underneath, you see..." Qin Huairu said, looking at the half-eaten steamed bun in Yi Zhonghai's hand.

"No, Huairu, my family doesn't have much food, only two steamed buns for lunch. You can go to other houses to have a look!" Yi Zhonghai refused. After that, he started to eat with big mouthfuls. Before Qin Huairu could speak, I'm all gone. He is hungry now, how can I give it to others?

"This... okay!" Qin Huairu said, and then took another look at the steamed bread in Li Xuelian's hand, but she just looked at it, she knew that Li Xuelian would not give it to her.

There was no other way, Qin Huairu could only go back to dig for food with Xiaodang. She knew that she had no say in other families at all.

In the front yard, after the rain stopped, those who had food were busy preparing lunch, while those who had no food could only watch helplessly.

At the gate of the Yan family, Yan Jiecheng said, "Dad, look at you. You didn't even buy more food. What are you going to do now? You're doomed, right?"

"How could I know there would be an earthquake? The food just happened to be gone." Yan Fugui said speechlessly.

"Hey, you and your son, stop arguing. What should we do now? We don't know when the grain store will open, and we don't know when the earthquake will end." Yang Ruihua persuaded.

After hearing what his wife said, Yan Fugui knew that what she said was true, so he started thinking about it alone, and soon he had an idea, "I got it, we are hit by a disaster, at a time like this we should unite and overcome the difficulties together. I think our front yard should also be like those families in the backyard and overcome the difficulties together." Yan Fugui said.

"Haha, Dad, you're just dreaming. Who would take out their food to eat together? Especially those who have food, how is it possible?" Yan Jiecheng said contemptuously.

"Hey, you little bastard, can you think of what I can't? Look at how many families in the front yard have no food? I just need to gather them together and find Liu Haizhong to ask him to arrange it. My work as an old man is not in vain." Yan Fugui said with a smile.

Hearing Yan Fugui's explanation, Yan Jiecheng smiled, "Dad, it still depends on you. At this time, the uncle has to make the decision for us. Otherwise, why should he be the uncle? Dad, you call the meeting! I support you."

"That's right, I'll go right away. And you two, go and call some people. We can't let them enjoy the good life in the backyard while we starve!" Yan Fugui said proudly. He felt that Liu Haizhong was a power-obsessed person, and he would definitely take action as long as he brought up an issue with an old man.

At this time, in the backyard, the four families were eating very contentedly, and several other households were also given some chicken soup. For a while, He Yuzhu received countless gratitude and flattery.

Just when everyone was taking a break and chatting, Yan Fugui came in with a group of people and went straight to Liu Haizhong.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong asked in confusion, "Yan Fugui, why are you guys here in the backyard if you're not going to cook?"

Hearing that Liu Haizhong had just given him a chance to talk, Yan Fugui immediately responded, "Old Liu, we want to eat too, but there is no food at home? Look, so many families don't have any."

"Hey, why are you looking for me if you don't have grain? I'm not selling grain." Liu Haizhong wondered.

"Hey, Lao Liu, this is where you're wrong. Look, what are you eating? We have nothing. You're the boss, you can't just ignore us. What I mean is that at this critical moment, you, as the boss, must take the lead and let everyone pool the food together and start cooking to overcome the difficulties together." Yan Fugui put forward his demands in one breath.

"This... I can't do anything about it. Who would listen to me and take out the food at this time? How is that possible?" Liu Haizhong said.

"Old Liu, you are the boss. If you take the lead, there will definitely be people following you, especially your four families should take the lead." Yan Fugui said.

After hearing Yan Fugui's words, Liu Haizhong subconsciously looked at Xu He and the others, wanting to ask them what to do.

"Haha, uncle, don't listen to Koubi Yan's nonsense. Uncle, what uncle? Let me give you an idea. Fire the uncle today and give him to Koubi Yan. Let him organize the organization! Anyway, this uncle is just an uncle who has no power." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Yes, uncle. Oh no, Director Liu, what a high-ranking official! Just quit and go do the job for that idiot Yan." Xu Damao also echoed with a smile.
