Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

"Okay, old lady, don't worry, I'll do it now."

After comforting the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt left the deaf old lady's house.

"Old Yi, are you really going to buy meat?"

"Didn't you hear it just now? The old lady is greedy again. This old woman only knows how to eat all day long. She didn't give us the food coupons and money, so she just kept the money tightly. When she is greedy, she just orders us to buy meat for her."

"But there's not much money left at home."

"Okay, go to the room and get another 5 yuan and a pound of meat ticket. I'll talk to Sha Zhu later and ask him to make braised pork tomorrow."

"Ok."

Yi Zhonghai felt a little sorry for his money. If he didn't need the deaf old lady's support, he would have ignored her long ago. Although the monthly expenses were not a problem, Yi Zhonghai was also worried about the quality of life in his later years, so he controlled his current living expenses very strictly.

The next day, the aunt gave the meat to Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu, who had been waiting for a long time, started to work immediately. However, Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady and the aunt waited for a long time, but Sha Zhu did not come over with the meat.

"Zhonghai, what took Shazhu so long? Did you forget to remind him?" The deaf old lady was looking forward to it impatiently, her stomach rumbling. Noticing that Shazhu had not shown up yet, she asked Yi Zhonghai hurriedly.

"I told him this morning when I was at work, and he promised to show you his skills." Yi Zhonghai finished talking to the deaf old lady, then turned around and asked Auntie, "Did you see him in the house when you came back?"

The lady was surprised and said, "How come I didn't see it? I handed the fat to him personally, and he said he would come over soon."

"This is strange, where did this guy Shazhu go?" The three of them were all wondering in their hearts.

It turned out that Sha Zhu had already prepared the braised pork, but just as he was about to go out, he was intercepted by Qin Huairu who was waiting for him. Qin Huairu used the excuse that her child was malnourished to ask Sha Zhu for meat. Sha Zhu, who couldn't bear to see Qin Huairu's tears, immediately agreed to give her a few pieces. However, he didn't expect Qin Huairu to be so greedy that she took the whole bowl of braised pork away. Sha Zhu wanted to stop her, but the result was predictable. He was immediately defeated and could only yell a few harsh words behind her, but his eyes revealed an infatuated look.

When Sha Zhu came to his senses from Qin Huairu's beauty, he immediately slapped his forehead and said he had forgotten about anything. He quickly took out money and meat tickets from the closet, and then ran to the market to see if there was any meat left.

Sha Zhu's actions made the three people in the backyard very hungry, and they were still waiting for him foolishly.

After all, the deaf old lady was old and couldn't stand being hungry. She grabbed the steamed bun and started eating. Yi Zhonghai and the aunt saw that the deaf old lady had started eating, so they also started eating. Poor them, because they were waiting for the braised pork, so they only asked the aunt to fry a plate of shredded radish and a plate of pickled cabbage. The rest were eight steamed buns and a pot of corn porridge.

However, a spicy aroma wafted into the room, making the deaf old lady, who had just filled her stomach, feel hungry again. She suddenly put her chopsticks on the table, startling Yi Zhonghai and the aunt to stop.

"Grandma, what's the matter?" asked an old lady.

"I don't want to eat anymore. I can't eat without meat." The deaf old lady was acting like a child.

"Old Yi, look."

"I'll go and see who cooked this dish and ask if I can bring some back." Yi Zhonghai stood up and said to the deaf old lady.

"Go quickly, it will be gone if you're late." The deaf old lady urged Yi Zhonghai to go and ask.

Yi Zhonghai first came to the central courtyard, only to see the door of Sha Zhu's house open, but no sign of Sha Zhu was inside. On the other hand, there was a lot of noise in the Jia family opposite, and it sounded like Bang Geng was clamoring for meat again.

At this time, Qin Huairu walked out with red eyes, probably because she had just cried.

"Master."

"Oh, it's Qin Huairu, what happened at home?"

Qin Huairu's tears that had just stopped came out again when she heard this, making Yi Zhonghai a little embarrassed. There were only the two of them here, and if someone saw them, they would think that he had bullied Qin Huairu.

"Xiao Qin, don't cry, what's the matter?"

"It's all because of the quarrel at home. Just now, Shazhu fried braised pork and Banggeng was crying out for meat. My mother-in-law forced me to ask for it. I finally got it from Shazhu, but she ate it all. Now Banggeng is crying out again. I really don't know what to do."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart. It turned out that they had been waiting for a long time but Sha Zhu did not bring the meat. It turned out that all the meat was eaten by the Jia family, leaving them starving.

Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai's expression change and knew that she had let the cat out of the bag. She hurriedly apologized to Yi Zhonghai, and then said a lot of nice things, and put the blame on Sha Zhu. It was Sha Zhu who cared about the child and was afraid that Bang Geng was malnourished, so he took the initiative to give the braised pork to Bang Geng.

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Yi Zhonghai decided not to bother about it any more and just let it go.

"Then what's wrong with you now?" Yi Zhonghai thought, since you all have eaten the meat, why don't you go home to cool off? Do you want to follow him to beg for meat?

Qin Huairu had this idea in mind. She wanted to use her own face, but she was afraid that she would fail again. However, she knew that if she didn't get the meat back, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu would definitely punish her, and Bang Geng would continue to cry. Now that Yi Zhonghai had come forward, she could still follow behind and get a share of the pie.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was determined to follow him, Yi Zhonghai helplessly walked towards the front yard with his hands behind his back.

Qin Huairu was delighted and hurried to catch up.

The fragrance was seen coming from Zhang Yuan's house. Why was it seen? Because Yan Bugui's family was sitting not far from Zhang Yuan's house and eating. Yan Bugui's family education made Yi Zhonghai accustomed to it. If they didn't want meat, he would move the dining table to the other party's door, eat his meal while smelling the fragrance, and imagine that he was also eating meat.

When Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu coming over, his face turned red and he nodded to them embarrassedly. Then he took a few deep breaths to make up for the time he had just wasted, fearing that he would suffer a loss if he took a few less breaths of the fragrance.

"Lao Yi, Xiao Qin, are you here to see Zhang Yuan?"

"Yes, Third Uncle."

"Oh." Yan Bugui didn't say anything and continued eating, but his eyes were always on Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

"It seems that they are here to ask Zhang Yuan for food." Yan Jiecheng said secretly.

"Do I even need to ask? Who would show up at someone's house while they're having dinner?" Yan Jiefang quickened his pace and scooped up the corn porridge in the bowl.

"Don't worry about them, we'll eat ours." The third aunt stopped her two sons and reminded them to stop talking nonsense.

The words of the two boys from the Yan family reached the ears of the two parties involved. Qin Huairu was a little shy at this time, her cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

Yi Zhonghai pretended not to hear and reached out to push the door.
