Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Having just solved Li Sanduo's problem, Xiao Weiguo went out and headed straight for Shichahai. Fishing is the most relaxing time for him. He sits alone with a fishing rod, quietly looking at the lake and experiencing a static life.

"Da Mao, my milk supply has not been good these days. It's not enough for the baby. How about we stew some meat tonight?"

Wang Fangfang tentatively asked Xu Damao, it was not in his family, but the influence of the times. Male chauvinism prevailed, and a woman was only responsible for giving birth to children at home. Although she did not have a job and did not have to worry about where the money came from, she still had to ask others for money.

Xu Damao pulled a donkey face and looked slightly unhappy. "I just ate a chicken the day before yesterday and stewed a fish yesterday. How come my milk is not coming in yet? If this continues, it's no big deal to eat the family into poverty, but don't let my son starve."

Xu Damao, who is eager to protect his child, doesn't care about anything else. He only cares about whether this precious child can have enough food.

Wang Fangfang sighed helplessly, "How can I have milk if I'm not full! If you don't stew meat for me, go out and buy milk powder for your son tomorrow morning!"

As she spoke, Wang Fangfang looked at the empty granary. There was no grain left at all!

Xu Damao scratched his head and said that although this matter was very urgent, his pockets were cleaner than his face, so where would he get the money to buy meat?

After looking at the child in his arms, he suddenly thought of a solution.

"Wait at home, I'll get you some meat!"

Having said that, Xu Damao turned around and walked out the door, heading straight for Yan Fugui's house in the front yard.

"Auntie, is Uncle three at home?"

While knocking on the door, Xu Damao did not forget to look around, and his behavior was very strange.

Third Aunt was cooking in the room, and Yan Fugui was catching up on his sleep. When she heard the knock on the door, she was frightened and became very nervous. She couldn't help cursing in her heart, "Who is this? The dog's nose is so sharp! The old man worked all night to catch a few fish, and now he comes just by smelling the smell?"

While hesitating whether to open the door, Xu Damao also smelled the fragrance of fish.

"Good fellow, Third Master, your food is really good! Hurry up and open the door. There is no reason to not let the guests in."

Xu Damao, who had been so cautious just now, now shouted at the top of his voice, fearing that his neighbors might not hear him.

Yang Xuehua was so angry that she kept throwing spoons in the kitchen. "This Xu Damao, he never comes to me for no reason. He just comes when he smells a crisis. Humph!"

After that, she slowly stewed the fish in the pot, and then Yang Xuehua slowly wiped her hands and prepared to open the door.

Outside the door, Xu Damao waited for a long time but there was no movement. He raised his hand and prepared to knock on the door again!

Just as I was about to knock, the door creaked open.

"Oh, it's Damao! Why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?"

Yang Xuehua stood at the door and had no intention of letting him in.

Xu Damao stood on tiptoe at the door and peeked inside. The smell of fish was even stronger!

"Hmm... that's the taste! Third uncle, your family has good food, and you can eat meat every day. I'm so jealous!"

Xu Damao did not forget to look inside the house when he said this, which made Yang Xuehua so angry that she wanted to close the door and send him away.

"Da Mao, your uncle is not at home. If you have anything to say, come and see him tomorrow! See you later!"

Yang Xuehua didn't want to give half of her family's dinner to Xu Damao, so she prepared to close the door and send him away.

Xu Damao blocked him with his foot, "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Uncle San is not at home right now and won't be back for a while. I'll go into the house and wait for him!"

As he spoke, Xu Damao walked into the house anxiously. Yang Xuehua was so angry that sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Hey, what are you doing? How can you come here uninvited? Damao, if you have anything to say, tell me tomorrow. My family..."

As he said this, Xu Damao had already entered the house and saw Yan Fugui's shoes at a glance.

Others may wear one or two pairs of shoes in rotation, but Yan Fugui absolutely cannot do that!

Except winter, a pair of shoes is popular all over the world in the other three seasons.

"Hey, Third Aunt, how can you lie? As a family member of a teacher, the first thing you need to do is to be honest and trustworthy. Otherwise, this will affect the reputation of my Third Uncle!"

Xu Damao joked with a smile, and Yang Xuehua couldn't help blushing.

"Da Mao, your uncle stayed up all night yesterday, so he came back home to catch up on his sleep after work today. If you have nothing else to do, just let him sleep for a while. He is too old to handle the hard work! You have to accept your age!"

Yang Xuehua had been standing next to Xu Damao, thinking that he would leave on his own because he felt uncomfortable, but unexpectedly Xu Damao sat down at the table and waited.

"No hurry, let the Third Master catch up on his sleep first. It's the same as waiting here! Don't worry, I promise not to disturb his rest."

As he said this, he crossed his legs and was almost leaning back in the chair to close his eyes and rest!

Yang Xuehua saw that he didn't want to leave, so she sat down and prepared to deal with him, intending to get him out the door as quickly as possible.

"Ahem... Damao is here!"

Before Yang Xuehua could speak, Yan Fugui woke up in the inner room.

In fact, he heard the sound as soon as Xu Damao entered the door, but he thought that Yang Xuehua had successfully sent the person out with the help of her ability to send people away!

But unexpectedly, the man sat down and didn't go out.

He had no choice but to get up and deal with it.

The fish has been put into the pot and will be served on the table in more than half an hour. His task is to send Xu Damao out within half an hour, otherwise there will not be enough fish to share!

All my hard work for the whole night would be in vain.

"Da Mao, what's the matter? It's been pretty quiet in the past few days, and I haven't heard of anything major happening!"

Yan Fugui, wearing handmade cloth shoes, walked slowly to the outer room.

Xu Damao also stood up and nodded very politely, and then the two sat down and started chatting.

"Uncle, you've been fishing all night and it's really hard work. You usually don't want to wear clothes or eat, and you rely on the wild game from Shichahai to nourish your body!"

Yan Fugui nodded and chuckled, "There's nothing we can do. We live in poverty. Since we can't afford to eat, we have to find a way ourselves. If it weren't for my superb fishing skills, we wouldn't be able to eat meat once a year! We can't compare with you!"

Yan Fugui started to cry poor and secretly swore in his heart, no one can touch the fish in my pot today!

"Hey, look at what you said, as if someone else's life is easy. My spendthrift daughter-in-law asks for meat every now and then, and now my pockets are cleaner than my face!"

When Yan Fugui heard this, his face turned dark and he was about to cry poor when Xu Damao stopped him.

"We are all poor people, and none of us has it better than the other! But it's different in Xiao Wei's country! They have such a big restaurant, and they deliver baskets of seafood every day, and even something called abalone! Those are rare things that we have never even heard of!"

Yan Fugui snorted and laughed, "The conditions at Weiguo have always been good, and now he's his own boss, so he's so proud! Their restaurant is almost bigger than the courtyard, and the decoration is very grand. I'm really envious!"

Yan Fugui said this with his eyes wide open, feeling very envious.
