Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

After the repeated rejections from my friend.

The deaf old lady then stopped pestering the young man and asked him to accompany her to eat something.

Zhou Li also spoke in time.

"Don't worry about her, old lady."

"She ate two big tomatoes at home and a lot of meat."

"I can't even drink any water now."

"You'd better leave her alone."

I know that my little friend eats well.

The old lady was even happier.

Keep shouting "Yes! Yes!"

As Zhou Li spoke, she picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in the old lady's bowl.

"Try this braised pork."

"He Yuzhu specially picked the best fat and lean meat to make it."

"The meat is fatty but not greasy, lean but not dry, and very delicious."

Look at Zhou Li picking up the braised pork in the bowl.

The meat has just the right color and exudes an enticing aroma.

The old lady was originally afraid that she wouldn't be able to bite the meat.

I was afraid of letting Zhou Li and He Yuzhu down.

But I didn't expect that I could bite off the meat without any effort at all.

It even feels like it's about to melt in your mouth.

The old lady has seen a lot of delicious food.

Unfortunately, this was also the first time she had tasted such a melt-in-your-mouth braised pork.

The old lady enjoyed the meal.

His eyes were slitted with laughter.

"Daughter-in-law of the He family, you are so lucky."

"The man in your family cooks better than that silly boy."

Zhou Li smiled and said nothing.

She finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

It seems that what I said at that time was not completely useless.

If she had known that this would make He Yuzhu change his mind, she would have definitely said the most heartfelt words to him long ago.

But Zhou Li was still very happy with the result.

No matter how you look at it, He Yuzhu is no longer the same as before.

As long as he stays like this from now on.

Then Zhou Li will have nothing to worry about in the second half of her life.

The old lady ate a lot of dishes again.

If you are happy with the food, just shout it out.

"I'll go tell that kid from Zhong Hai later."

"From now on, I won't need them to send me meals anymore."

"I'll go to your house for dinner. You won't despise me as an old woman, will you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li was very happy.

He quickly answered.

"What are you talking about, old lady?"

"We are so glad to have you come to dinner."

"How can I dislike it?"

"Besides, when He Yuzhu came here, he also told me to come and chat with you more often."

Now the old lady was even happier.

I couldn't close my mouth from laughing.

Just when I was happy, I heard a noise coming from outside.

Listen carefully, it's Xu Damao's voice.

"Zhao Xiaoming, you are so brave. You dare to touch my chicken in broad daylight."

Zhou Li frowned.

"Why is Xu Damao arguing with Zhao Xiaoming again?"

The deaf old lady also stopped laughing and looked at her in confusion.

"What, what did you just say?"

Zhou Li understood immediately.

This is because the ears are deaf again.

So she followed suit.

"It's nothing, just continue eating."

The old lady put down her chopsticks and looked at the table full of dishes.

"I'm stuffed."

"I didn't realize I ate so much."

I heard this sentence again.

The old lady really doesn't listen to a word she should, and doesn't hear a word she shouldn't.

The courtyard was in an uproar at this time.

Xu Damao almost jumped up and pointed at Zhao Xiaoming's nose and cursed.

He pointed at the chicken in Zhao Xiaoming's pot.

"Zhao Xiaoming, our chicken just got lost and a chicken appeared in your pot."

"Can you say this is a coincidence?"

"This chicken must be ours!"

The noise was so loud that people in the next yard could hear what was happening.

"That chicken was given to me by someone else."

"It can lay an egg every day."

"You just gave it to me like this."

"I don't care, you pay me!"

Just a few words.

He called out most of the people in the yard.

Zhou Li wanted to ignore it, but the sound was too loud and she couldn't completely ignore it.

In addition, Xiaoyou was so scared that he kept crawling into her arms.

In contrast, the old lady just wiped her mouth.

It was as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with her at all.

Seeing the old lady like this, Zhou Li suddenly calmed down.

He remembered what He Yuzhu said when he left home.

He Yuzhu asked her to come for only two purposes.

The first purpose was to deliver food to the old lady.

The second is to learn the old lady’s attitude towards things.

What happened today was a great learning opportunity.

Looking at the calm look of the old lady.

Zhou Li's heart has gradually calmed down.

Even the noise outside seemed to be much quieter.

Yes, what's so interesting about all this excitement?

It's just the kind of bumps that happen to every family.

It's not a rare thing.

Zhou Li still has too little experience.

Even if I already understand it in my heart.

Unfortunately, my heart will still be affected to some extent.

Watching Zhou Li's expression changing constantly.

The old lady suddenly laughed out loud.

"Go and see it if you want."

"Don't young people just love to join in the fun?"

Zhou Li was about to say something.

He Yuzhu's voice appeared first.

"We don't want to get involved in the noise outside."

"That's the kind of scene our little friend hates the most."

Zhou Li was surprised by He Yuzhu's arrival.

"He Yuzhu, why are you here?"

Aren't you afraid of being beaten?

He Yuzhu did not respond to Zhou Li's words first.

Instead, he greeted the deaf old lady first.

"Madam, how are you these days?"

After greeting the old lady, he answered Zhou Li's question.

"I'm not seeing any noise in the yard."

"I'm afraid you'll be scared again when you go back later."

"So come and see."

He Yuzhu said this and picked up the little friend.

The old lady simply ignored what He Yuzhu had said about the things in the courtyard.

Asked He Yuzhu directly.

"You bastard, why are you here now?"

"Aren't you here to pick them up?"

He Yuzhu answered seriously, so the old lady let him go for the time being.

Then the old lady asked the question she had just asked Zhou Li.

"Bastard, how about I go to your house and have dinner with you guys starting tomorrow?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Of course, if you come."

"I cook three meals a day in different ways."

"We guarantee that you will have enough to eat every day."

The deaf old lady nodded.

"Okay, I'll feel relieved as long as you say this."

"It's settled then."

"Go and take your wife and children to watch the fun."

He Yuzhu understood the meaning.

He took Zhou Li and walked out of the deaf old lady's house.

As soon as you walk out the door, you can see the lively scene in the yard.

He Yuzhu stood at the door and looked into the yard with great interest.

But Zhou Li was worried about what He Yuzhu said about those people in the courtyard.

So I don’t want to have any contact with them.

She carefully tugged at He Yuzhu's clothes.

"He Yuzhu, what's so interesting about this quarrel?"

"Let's go home quickly."

He Yuzhu had already seen Zhou Li's worries.
