Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

But just as he took a step forward, Sha Zhu called him back.

"Uncle, this is terrible. You've eaten all the food at home. What am I going to cook?"

Yi Zhonghai smacked his lips, looking a little unhappy. He didn't like to hear these words.

"What do you mean I ate it all? You didn't eat a single bite? Hurry up and go buy some!"

Sha Zhu was so anxious that he kept scratching his head. "It's already this late, where can I buy it? The supply and marketing cooperatives are probably closed. Even if they are, I can't get any meat!"

When entertaining a distinguished guest, there must be meat on the table to show your importance to him.

Yi Zhonghai pulled Sha Zhu out of the house and presented him with a brilliant plan.

"This isn't difficult. Why don't you use your brain to think about it? How can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?"

Yi Zhonghai kept dragging his feet and talking nonsense. Sha Zhu was so anxious that he quickly hugged his thigh and said, "It's already this late, please hurry up and tell me what to do!"

"Why don't you go to each household in the courtyard and see who has meat or vegetables and borrow some? As long as you pay it back double in the future, who wouldn't lend it to me?"

Sha Zhu sighed, "The only things I can borrow are the leaves and stems. Who has good stuff?"

Just when Sha Zhu was looking worried, Xiao Weiguo came into the yard whistling, carrying two large net bags.

Sha Zhu's eyes immediately brightened up, but after looking at the old man, his mood instantly fell to the bottom again.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were clearly filled with helplessness and disdain!

I'm implying that given your relationship with Xiao Weiguo, I'll lose if you can even borrow a piece of vegetable leaf.

But Sha Zhu had been forced into a corner. He rubbed his feet hard on the ground, sweat breaking out on his forehead, and didn't know how to start.

"What are you doing? Dancing? Rubbing? Tsk tsk! You're almost making sparks."

Hearing Xiao Weiguo's sarcasm, Sha Zhu sighed, then forced a smile and stood in front of him.

"A good dog doesn't block the road, what does that mean?"

Whatever Xiao Weiguo says is bound to be of the highest quality. Sha Zhu could no longer restrain his hands in his pockets. If it was Xu Damao standing opposite him at this moment, he would have punched him and snatched all the dishes away.

"That Weiguo... I..."

Xiao Weiguo snorted and laughed, and wanted to run away when he heard this.

"Don't mention the difference in generation, Zhuzi!!! Please call me Brother Xiao!"

Sha Zhu pursed his lips and was choked so hard that he couldn't utter a word.

"Weiguo, it's like this..."

"You have something to do with Zhonghai?"

Lao Yi was countered as soon as he said something, and he rolled his eyes in anger.

"You mean respect for others? But I..."

"Zhu Zi, if you have something to say, please speak up quickly. Don't delay me from going home to make delicious food for the pregnant woman."

As he spoke, he did not forget to pick up the net bag to show it.

In addition to various vegetables and meat, there were also a few big red apples, which almost blinded Shazhu's eyes.

"Brother Xiao! A distinguished guest is coming to visit my house suddenly, but we don't have anything good to entertain him. Can you lend me your food for emergency? I'll pay for the food right now and give you a few more dollars. Is that okay with you?"

When Sha Zhu said this, he actually felt guilty. What kind of life does Section Chief Xiao lead? He eats meat and drinks meat soup every day. Why would he need such a few small things from him?

Yi Zhonghai frowned and stared at the two of them, secretly sighing in his heart, they were just given a few dollars, but just this sentence must have offended them.

"Zhuzi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are at least the head of the second canteen, you have a title, but who do you support with your monthly salary? You don't even have extra food at home?"

While speaking, Xiao Weiguo glanced at Yi Zhonghai. He hadn't even refused yet, but this old guy already had an auntie smile on his face, waiting to see what happened to Sha Zhu!

Sha Zhu scratched his head and looked at Yi Zhonghai helplessly, "Hey, didn't you drink with an old man the night before and eat up all the food at home?"

Xiao Weiguo shook his head helplessly, "Alright, I won't listen to your nonsense. Lao Yi, as Sha Zhu's closest person, it would be wrong for you not to lend a hand at this time!"

Yi Zhonghai swallowed his saliva and quickly explained, "I do have some cabbage and grains at home, but no meat. I can't afford it!"

Xiao Weiguo clapped his hands, "This is easy. Shazhu, go to Old Yi's house to get some fine grains and vegetables. Oh, doesn't Old Yi have some wine? Take a couple more bottles to save face and see how much you can get together?"

Sha Zhu listened to Xiao Weiguo's instructions and looked at Yi Zhonghai with uncertainty in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma as he had been planning to disrupt the situation in the first place, so why did he offer his services voluntarily?

"Um... uncle, I..."

Seeing that Lao Yi was in a daze, Sha Zhu stretched out his hand and waved it.

Yi Zhonghai forced himself to smile, but it was uglier than crying.

"Well... I was thinking about what else I could take from home."

"What's the use of just thinking about it? Hurry up and take whatever you like. After all, we have guests to entertain, so we can't be negligent!"

Xiao Weiguo was exaggerating while lighting a cigarette and laughing at Lao Yi's twitching back.

This old guy still wants to play tricks, but now he has been caught!

A few minutes later, Sha Zhu came out of Lao Yi's house in high spirits, but Lao Yi was staying in the house in anger. He didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Weiguo anymore, for fear that he would not be satisfied and come to his house to plunder again.

"Brother Weiguo, my uncle has spent a lot of money on me. He brought three pounds of fine grains and flour from home, as well as some vegetables, but only..."

Sha Zhu's eyes were fixed on the meat in Xiao Weiguo's hand, and his eyes were glowing green.

Xiao Weiguo didn't hesitate and just lifted up the meat and shook it in front of him. Lao Yi in the room stared at it nervously through the window.

In his opinion, Xiao Weiguo was obviously provoking him, making it impossible for him to get what he wanted. He sighed and cried for a while.

"I'll give you a piece of meat in exchange for a month's time. Come to my house every night to cook and read some books about healthy eating. Pregnant women in my family should not only eat well, but also eat nutritionally balanced and healthy food."

Sha Zhu grimaced when he heard this. Not only did he have to contribute his cooking skills, but he also needed to read books and study?

What does this have to do with anything? But if I want to get through today, I have to agree to Xiao Weiguo's request.

Sha Zhu made up his mind and slapped his forehead, "Okay, let's do it!"

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond?"

As he said that, Xiao Weiguo shook the meat in front of him again!

Sha Zhu was so anxious that he said, "Am I the one who doesn't keep his word?"

"Okay, the meat is yours, whoever can't do it is your grandson!"

Sha Zhu didn't care what Xiao Weiguo said, but he finally got the meat. He couldn't say it was a full banquet with these dishes, but at least he could put them on the table.

Xiao Weiguo chased the cigarette under his feet and his eyes drifted towards Old Yi's house. Although he couldn't see anyone, he could already guess that the old man was probably so angry that he was slapping his thigh.

"What's wrong with this Xiao Weiguo? He clearly despises Sha Zhu and feels bad for him, but he still helps him like this?"

The aunt saw that he was sad, but she just shook her head helplessly.

Just now, when Sha Zhu came to her house to get something, she specially helped to pack more fine grains. She didn't want to follow Lao Yi to cheat Sha Zhu again.
