Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

In the spacious and bright house of the He family, He Daqing was busy in the kitchen, with the spatula flying, and dishes with good color, aroma and taste were served on the table. These dishes were really expensive! There were attractive braised pork, fragrant four-happiness meatballs, fresh and smooth pepper fried meat, refreshing and delicious sour and spicy potato shreds, soft and tasty braised eggplant, and steaming old hen soup. In addition, there were exquisite side dishes on the table: fried peanuts were golden and crispy, and the cold cucumber salad was fresh and refreshing.

"Zhang Yuan is here and the dishes have just been served. You are so punctual!" As soon as He Daqing saw Zhang Yuan walk into the house, he hurriedly called He Yushui over to say hello.

"You just came, why do you bring so many gifts? Do you think my house is short of something? Really!" He Daqing looked at the large pile of gifts that Zhang Yuan brought, with an unhappy look on his face, and said in a reproachful manner.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan hurriedly explained: "These are just some small tokens of appreciation, not a token of respect." As he spoke, he handed He Daqing cigarettes and wine.

"Ah, this is Moutai! This wine is so expensive. No, no, it's just a simple meal, how can I let you spend so much money? Take it back, take it back!" He Daqing picked up the wine bottle and saw that it was Moutai. His casual expression immediately became serious. He quickly picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully, as if he wanted to confirm whether this was really the legendary Moutai.

He Yushui, who was standing by, was also startled by this sudden scene. Although she had never drunk Moutai, she had heard of this brand. It was said that a bottle of this kind of wine cost several yuan, which was too luxurious for an ordinary family like theirs. So, He Yushui also echoed, "Brother Zhang, you have given us face by coming to my house for dinner. Don't spend so much money. This wine is too expensive. You should return it."

Zhang Yuan laughed out loud: "Don't worry, I didn't buy this bottle of Moutai. Someone gave it to me. You don't have to spend any money."

"It's not okay to give it as a gift!" He Yushui waved his hand quickly, "We can't afford such an expensive gift."

Zhang Yuan saw their concerns and smiled to comfort them: "Don't worry, this is just a token of our love. Don't feel too burdened. Let's have a drink today to celebrate our reunion."

He Daqing and He Yushui looked at each other, and both hesitated for a while. Finally, He Yushui thought that Zhang Yuan should not spend too much money. No matter how Zhang Yuan explained, He Yushui always showed that he was thinking about Zhang Yuan, so Zhang Yuan had to give up and agreed to take the wine back. However, when He Daqing heard Zhang Yuan say that he wanted to take the wine back, regret appeared on his face. In fact, as early as when he heard Zhang Yuan say that this bottle of wine was given to him for free, He Daqing had already made up his mind to accept the bottle of wine. As a result, his daughter insisted on letting Zhang Yuan take it back. What an extroverted girl! She hasn't even gotten married yet, but she has already started to favor outsiders. He Daqing secretly comforted himself: "Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future."

Just then, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared.

"Daughter-in-law of the Jia family, what are you doing here?" When He Daqing saw Qin Huairu coming over, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, especially since Qin Huairu's passion after making love had not yet subsided, which made He Daqing, who liked women, even more intoxicated by her.

"Uh, brother, you are here too?" Qin Huairu saw that the He family had cooked so many dishes, and thought that the two families had a good relationship in the past, so she wanted to run over to borrow some dishes. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan was there. Thinking of what happened an hour ago, a blush appeared on her face.

He Daqing and He Yushui were not aware of the discord between them. They thought that Qin Huairu was caught by Zhang Yuan when she was borrowing vegetables, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

"Is there anything wrong, sister-in-law of the Jia family?" He Yushui asked with a fake smile. Before this, she had always called Qin Huairu "Sister Qin". However, since the incident with Sha Zhu, she saw through the hypocritical faces of everyone in the courtyard. Therefore, she was no longer as friendly to Qin Huairu as before, and the relationship between the two gradually became alienated.

"Oh, it's like this. My dog ​​smelled the fragrance of your cooking and kept clamoring for some. It's all my fault as a useless mother. Our family hasn't had meat for a long time, and the child is at the stage of growing up, so he can't lack nutrition! It's okay for us adults, but how can a child bear it? So, I'm really embarrassed and can only shamelessly come to borrow some meat from you." Qin Huairu said as she squeezed out a few tears from her big watery eyes, which fell down.

He Yushui looked at Qin Huairu in front of him, knowing her intentions very well, but still pretending to be concerned, he said, "It's not good for the child to be malnourished. Why don't you go buy some meat before it gets dark and the market closes? Don't let the child starve just to save some money."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the two large bowls in Qin Huairu's hands. This was not borrowing meat, it was clearly a big raid on their He family! With the dishes on the table, it was impossible to fill the two large bowls. If the meat was really lent to her, what would her family eat tonight?

He Yushui muttered to herself, but she still kept a smile on her face. She knew that Qin Huairu was a difficult person and would not be easily dismissed by a few words. If she refused directly, it would probably cause more trouble. So, she decided to take a tactful approach to let Qin Huairu back down.

"Yushui, please don't mention it. I really have no idea what to do! It's late at night. Even if I go there now, the vegetable market will have been closed. Where can I buy meat?" Qin Huairu muttered with a wronged look on her face.

"That's all we can do for now! Let the child be patient for a while, and we'll make it up to him tomorrow. After all, children should be raised in poverty. Over-indulgence can only spoil them. Listen to my advice, if Bang Geng gets upset, just hit him with a belt a few times, and I guarantee he'll behave himself immediately. If you don't believe me, you can ask our dad, that's how my brother was educated." He Yushui said seriously.

"Yes, that's absolutely right! Boys must be disciplined with sticks. Otherwise, once they go astray, it will be difficult to correct them in the future!" He Daqing also nodded repeatedly, indicating that he agreed with He Yushui's point of view.

When Qin Huairu heard what the father and daughter said, her heart was full of curses. It was not that she didn't feel sorry for her own child. Her son Banggeng was so obedient and smart. How could he be as stupid as Shazhu? It was because He Daqing used a stick to educate him since he was a child that he was deceived when he grew up. Of course, she also had her own contribution, but Qin Huairu would not think that she was wrong. The mistakes were all caused by others.
