Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Xiao Yun felt the heavy feeling in his hand, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

First there was a high yield of corn, and then there was a bumper harvest of potatoes.

This is enough to show that crops grown in space farmland are much more efficient than those grown outside.

Restraining the excitement in his heart, Xiao Yun temporarily exited the space. Now was not the time to take a closer look.

He Yuzhu had also cleaned the fish's internal organs and brought the fish into the house.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun hurriedly took out the chopping board.

He Yuzhu's technique was very skilled. Xiao Aiguo and Xiao Yun were of no help at all. They could only stand aside, smoking and watching.

At the front gate of the courtyard, the three aunts were shivering with cold, but they kept pacing in the same place, and from time to time they looked anxiously towards the end of the alley.

Finally, the third uncle Yan Bugui, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, and Jia Dongxu appeared in the alley.

Jia Dongxu is the apprentice of the old man and the person he has chosen to take care of him in his old age, so after get off work every day, the two of them go home together.

Today I happened to meet my third uncle Yan Bugui, and the three of us decided to come back together.

Based on his understanding of his wife over the years, the third uncle guessed something, but it slipped away after a few sentences.

"Old Yi, go back first. The child's mother wants to see me now."

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile and followed Jia Dongxu back to the courtyard.

After the two men walked away, the third uncle asked what had happened.

The three aunts didn't keep anyone in suspense and told everything at once.

"Old Yan, Mr. Xiao's grandson Xiao Yun had some good luck today. He bought a big carp that must be about five or six kilograms, and also bought two bottles of Xifeng wine!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, a shrewd look immediately flashed in his eyes.

"You didn't ask what happened?"

The third aunt shook her head. "I asked, and they said they just wanted to eat. I don't think it's credible."

The third uncle pushed his glasses and nodded in agreement, "This just proves that there is something good going on. Just think about it, I help keep track of the meat that the grandfather and grandson eat every two weeks."

"It's only been a few days, and you're already buying fish and wine. It must be something good!"

As a teacher, Yan Bugui deduced it immediately.

He then said, "Mother, don't cook for me tonight. I'll take some peanuts and go visit Mr. Xiao later."

The third aunt nodded and said, "I didn't cook your meal yet. I guessed you would go over to eat. I've already prepared the peanuts for you."

The third uncle's face was filled with relief, and the two of them walked all the way back to the front yard.

Middle Court.

Soon, the fragrance filled the air, and the tender and plump carp was constantly wrapped and covered by the soup, and then absorbed the flavor.

Under He Yuzhu's cooking, the aroma became stronger and even spread to the backyard.

Xu Damao went out to film a movie and was not at home for several days, leaving only Lou Xiao'e at home. She could not cook and could only eat steamed buns with pickles.

As soon as the fragrance wafted over, she immediately smelled the scent of carp, and immediately, she no longer had the appetite to eat the steamed bread.

In those days, many people could barely afford to eat rice and could not afford meat at all. They could not see any meat, let alone a rare thing like big carp.

The other families in the Intermediate Court had no appetite at all.

They held their rice bowls and looked at the plate of pickles, unable to swallow at all.

On the Jia family’s dining table, there was a stack of pickled vegetables and a lunch box; this was the dinner.

The rice consists of cornmeal porridge and fish buns.

In the past, the lunch box that Jia Dongxu brought home was always the first one to be eaten up. But today, the amount of dishes and steamed corn bread remained the same.

"Grandma, I want to eat carp too." Banggeng lay beside the table and looked at Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang threw the steamed bread in her hand and her face became resentful.

"You are so old, but you insist on eating carp. Look how greedy my precious grandson is."

After complaining, he looked at Jia Dongxu again.

"Dongxu, take a plate over there and order some fish for Banggeng. They can't finish a fish that big in one meal!"

Jia Dongxu was stuffing a steamed bread into his mouth while smelling the fragrance in the air. When Jia Zhang suddenly called his name, he immediately shook his head.

"I won't go. We all work in factories. If this gets out, I'll be so embarrassed."

Jia Zhang was speechless and turned her gaze to Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu, go and ask for it. Just say Banggeng is crying because he can't eat the fish, and ask Shazhu to give him half of the fish!"

Qin Huairu looked hesitant, but under the pressure of Jia Zhang, she had to put down the steamed bread in her hand, pick up the plate and go out.

The big carp on the other side had been taken out of the pot, and He Yushui also rushed back home. When he saw the fish pond, his face was full of joy.

"Brother Xiao Yun, is this the fish you bought? Why did you think of eating fish? Did something good happen?"

Before Xiao Yun could say anything, the voice of the third uncle came from the door.

"Mr. Xiao, I came to see you. I brought some peanuts. Let's have a good drink."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui lifted the door curtain.

As soon as he came in, he sighed.

"Hey, Zhuzi Yushui is here too?" He then turned his gaze towards the stove, "What are you stewing? It smells so good."

Xiao Yun looked at the third uncle talking to himself and already knew what was going on.

"Uncle San, you have a very sharp nose. My family hasn't eaten fish for decades, and you come to my grandfather to drink right after we eat fish?"

Yan Bugui put the peanuts in his hand on the table beside him and put his hands behind his back.

"Xiao Yun, look at what you said. I didn't feel comfortable coming here because I didn't have anything to eat before. I bought some peanuts today, so I can make up for it."

Xiao Yun nodded but didn't say anything.

The other person came to drink with his grandfather, so he couldn't just kick him out.

But as soon as he picked up the peanuts, Xiao Yun couldn't help but speak out.

"Uncle, it's fine if you come here to eat fish, but you also give me raw peanuts?"

The third uncle chuckled and nodded He Yuzhu who was sitting beside the stove with his chin.

"Isn't the pillar right next to the stove? It won't take much effort to fry it."

Xiao Yun was speechless.

He finally understood why almost all the protagonists in novels about traveling through a courtyard house would criticize Yan Bugui.

This is really too much if we don't take action.

He Yuzhu walked forward, took the peanuts from Xiao Yun, and said with a smile:

"See? This is Uncle Three. He's very calculating! Why did he bring raw peanuts? Because we have fried peanuts at home. Just for this little bit of oil!"

Xiao Yun thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

But he didn't say anything. After all, if it was exposed, he wouldn't be able to eat the meal.

My grandfather finally gets to drink, and there's no need to chase someone away when he comes to drink with him.

Anyway, I have endless farmland and I am not short of food and drink.

I just need to make up for the meal money somewhere else later.

You eat my fish and I ask you for some seeds. That’s a good fit, right?

As the last dish, fried peanuts were served.

Everyone sat around the table.
