After rebirth, dominate the courtyard

However, Xu Damao's cleaning up of dirt with a broom caused a lot of gossip among the people. This is how the world is. People's after-dinner conversations are nothing but trivial matters like this.

When Xu Damao saw Qin Yunli coming in, he straightened up immediately, a hint of melancholy between his brows, and poured out his heart:

"This is all because of cleaning the toilet."

When everyone heard this, they all knew that things were different now than before. Although they were in charge of cooking, they also had to take care of the toilet. How sad!

All the blame was put on the deaf old woman. Xu Damao felt a ripple in his heart and seemed to hesitate, but he quickly suppressed it, not wanting to create any more trouble.

Qin Yunli soothed him softly, "How can this continue? Once Li Tianliang feels better, we can ask Master Yi to mediate, and then we won't have to worry."

Although the words are light, it is difficult to do. Xu Damao nodded silently, thinking that it is easier said than done.

At this moment, Qin Yunli smiled sweetly. Xu Damao's words hit the nail on the head. "Hurry up and prepare the meal. The outdoor work should be done. I'll prepare the lunch for you."

After saying that, Qin Yunli moved quickly, took the lunch boxes and prepared the meal, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

On the other side, Li Tianliang arrived at the compound on a bicycle and parked his bike in front of the house. A deaf old woman was leaning against the door basking in the sun. Seeing Li Tianliang returning home, she was filled with anger and wanted to beat him with a stick, but she was too old and weak.

Li Tianliang ignored the old woman's gaze and knocked on the door and entered the room.

Qin Yunli was lying on the couch when she heard a noise outside the door. She got up and opened it. She saw Li Tianliang with surprise and joy:

"Why are you coming back?"

"I just came to visit you." Li Tianliang replied with a smile, took Qin Yunli's arm and led her to the hall, "I'll give you the bicycle. I have a car, so this thing is no longer necessary."

When Qin Yunli heard this, her eyes lit up with joy. In that era, bicycles were rare, and riding one was an honor.

"I'm cooking today. I still have some pork left at home, so I'm going to prepare braised pork rice for lunch!"

When Qin Yunli heard the name of braised pork rice, she became very curious.

Li Tianliang instructed: "You can wash the rice first and steam it; I will prepare the pork and wait for it to be cooked."

In an instant, the aroma of rice rose up, followed by the aroma of meat, which filled the air, making people salivate.

It was lunch time and everyone came over smelling the delicious food. Their ordinary meal suddenly became boring and they all felt that what they were enjoying was far inferior.

Li Tianliang tasted the braised meat and nodded with satisfaction, "It's delicious!"

Qin Yunli's eyes were full of anticipation. When the braised meat was served in the rice bowl, the aroma filled her nose, making her heart beat faster.

Li Tianliang took a porcelain bowl, filled it with rice and braised meat and placed it on the table. Qin Yunli stared at it, her heart leaping with excitement as it was her first time tasting such delicious food.

The two enjoyed lunch happily, with the aroma of rice and meat blending on their tongues. Qin Yunli praised it highly and said it had an endless aftertaste. Li Tianliang also smiled when he saw this.

However, the deaf old woman sat alone in the sun, watching Li Tianliang and his wife having dinner together, and she felt sad and muttered to herself:

"You have forgotten your origins, but Xu Damao still remembers the old kindness!"

After saying this, he repeatedly stared at the courtyard gate, longing for Xu Damao to return.

At that moment, Jia Zhang was furious in her room, "The immoral Li Tianliang, who was too extravagant, finally brought bad consequences!"

Deep down he was extremely jealous. The aroma of meat wafted into his nose, stimulating his nasal cavity and making it difficult for him to control himself.

Jia Zhang angrily rebuked Xu Damao: "He is the source of all evil!"

The resentment was palpable.

At this moment in the courtyard, Xu Damao and Qin Yunli returned home. On the way, they understood each other and their feelings grew stronger.

Stepping into the courtyard, Qin Yunli sniffed the food greedily, "It's really a delicacy in the world!"

She was already starving and felt even more hungry. Xu Damao felt unhappy after hearing this.

When his proud cooking skills were challenged, Xu Damao said indignantly: "Li Tianliang's dishes are hard for ordinary people to compare with."

Qin Yunli was disappointed when she heard this: "It is true. It is hard for ordinary people to achieve it!"

The regret was beyond words. If he had not been able to get close to Li Tianliang in the first place, perhaps they could have become friends.

Things are different now. Li Tianliang is sincere to Qin Yunli and has no other concerns, which makes Qin Yunli feel pity and hatred for him.

I pity his loyalty and hate his lack of understanding of romance.

In contrast, Xu Damao was greedy for beauty, and Qin Yunli felt disgusted with him.

Xu Damao called out, "Qin Yunli, you can tidy up the dishes."

So he went straight to the deaf old woman and invited her to share the delicious food.
