Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

This day is a historic day for half of the people in the compound!

The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month!

When the New Year's Eve was approaching in the north, Xiao Weiguo's entire family, young and old, mobilized and went out early to cheer for Chef Wang.

The competition officially kicked off today. Although the wheel tactics were adopted in the first few rounds, you have to pull out all the horses for a walk, even the chef standing at the top of the pyramid is no exception, otherwise he will not be qualified to participate in the finals.

"Dad, I believe Chef Wang can definitely get into the role. This is too easy, it's a piece of cake!"

Xiao Shiqian often took his brother to the restaurant to eat, and he always praised Chef Wang's cooking skills.

Xiao Shiqi nodded quickly, "Yeah, brother is right! But... I think my uncle won't be too bad, he cooks really good Sichuan dishes!"

When Sha Zhu was mentioned, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Subconsciously, they all looked towards Sha Zhu's house. The door was closed and there was no one left in the house. It looked dead.

"Your uncle-in-law is doomed! He didn't even go out to prepare for such a big event. Tsk tsk, I hope he can hold on!"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo strode forward, and Qin Jingru felt that something was not right. Normally, at this time of day, there would be warm air coming through the door, but why was it still cold today? So she signaled Xiao Shigan with her eyes to knock on the door.

What if the whole family is really still asleep, wouldn’t that be a big disaster?

Although it would be more beneficial than harmful for both the restaurant and Chef Wang if Sha Zhu did not participate in the competition, Xiao Weiguo had already said that there were more than two chefs in the city. After all, there were always people better than you. Moreover, compared to Sha Zhu, Chef Wang was more dedicated. He was very confident that he could defeat Sha Zhu, and this time was an opportunity to verify it.

Xiao Shiqian understood immediately and rushed to the door and knocked hard.

"Aunt, are you up? Aunt! Uncle! Are you all home?"

Xiao Shiqian shouted at the top of his voice, fearing that no one inside could hear him.

"Hey, are they gone already?"

"Aunt, did you go to the competition?"

When the competition was mentioned, Qin Huairu in the room immediately opened her eyes and sat up straight.

The whole person woke up instantly!

Looking at the calendar on the wall and then at the eyes shining inside, Qin Huairu immediately went into exam runaway mode. She quickly stood up, opened the door, and lifted the thick curtain to let the cold air blow into the room.

"Shiqian, thank you so much. I'll buy you something delicious later!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu quickly ran back to the house and started howling.

"The sun is shining on your butt. Get up quickly and go to the competition!"

With this shout and the whistling cold wind, the two children woke up immediately.

Seeing them wake up, Xiao Shigan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this competition was very important for both the chefs and the restaurant. However, Xiao Shigan's kindness did not allow him to not wake them up, causing Sha Zhu to miss the competition.

"Silly! Get up!"

As soon as Xiao Shigan stepped through the hanging flower gate, he heard Qin Huairu's howling voice like a landlady, which frightened him so much that he couldn't help but shiver.

The two girls realized that something was wrong and immediately got up and put on their clothes. However, Sha Zhu had drunk too much and was in a confused state of half asleep and half awake. In desperation, Qin Huairu scooped up a bucket of water with a ladle and poured it directly on his head.

The loud noise instantly woke him up.

"Fuck! Who is this? Who is looking for death? What is this? Who peed?!"

Sha Zhu was shocked by the cold water and immediately came to his senses.

He sat on the bed and started cursing, and even dipped his hand in the water to smell it.

Hmm? This taste is good.

The moment he looked up, he was about to say something to Qin Huairu, but he was greeted by a pair of shoe soles that started to hit both sides of his face.

The sound of two slaps was very crisp, and Qin Huairu looked at him seriously.

"Do you know what day it is today?"

Sha Zhu covered his face with his hands and grimaced in pain. He had no time to think about what year it was. He just felt his face was burning.

Xiao Dang put on his clothes while rummaging through the boxes and cupboards, "Dad, hurry up and get up, you have a game today!"

Contest?

Seeing the two kids hurriedly putting on their clothes and looking for things, Shazhu was confused.

He looked up at Qin Huairu again, and his thoughts seemed to drift back to the main topic.

"Oh shit, today is the preliminaries, what time is it? I didn't oversleep, did I miss the game?"

At this moment, Sha Zhu didn't care about the burning sensation on his face anymore and started to put on his clothes vigorously. However, the more anxious he became, the less flexible his hands became and he even put on his clothes backwards.

"Huai Ru, why didn't you call me earlier? If I were late, Lou Xiao'e would definitely want to kill me!"

Qin Huairu instantly got angry after hearing this. The two children saw that Qin Huairu was about to lose her temper, so they immediately pulled her aside.

"Mom, don't be angry, hurry up and put on your clothes, otherwise we will be too late!"

It was only because Xiaodang was strong that he pulled Qin Huairu aside, otherwise, Qin Huairu would have definitely had an attack at this moment.

He Jingjing handed Sha Zhu's clothes to him considerately, "Dad, you can't blame my mom for this. If you hadn't been drunk last night and stayed up all night, we would have woken up long ago!"

Sha Zhu was panting and listening to He Jingjing's chattering in a daze, but he slowly remembered what was happening in his mind.

He locked himself in the warehouse all day yesterday, thinking hard, but finally couldn't stand the loneliness and had a drink.

But I never expected that I would get so drunk that I probably don’t even remember how I got back!

Sha Zhu's actions had unconsciously hurt Qin Huairu. At this time, Qin Huairu sat on the chair angrily, looking at him quietly.

After he was dressed, he left a few words and ran out.

"I'm leaving first, wait for my good news at home!"

With that said, Sha Zhu ran out like the wind, and Xiao Dang and He Jingjing's outstretched hands were left hanging in the air in extreme disappointment.

He could only turn around and look at Qin Huairu quietly, "Mom, I heard from my aunt that family members can go to the competition to cheer and support! How about... we go too?"

The next second, Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with fire...
