Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"I've eaten sweet and sour carp at my boss's house before, but it was all leftovers from his dinner parties. It was delicious. I heard that this dish is very valuable," said Xu's mother.

"How can it not be expensive? It has to be fried twice. How much oil do you think is used? Now our whole family only fries fish once. The rest of the time we can only eat boiled vegetables, which also require sugar and vinegar," said Xu Fugui.

"Da Biao really doesn't care about food. Zhang Cuihua has eaten so many good foods along with her brother that she's become as fat as a pig," said Xu's mother.

"What can you do? Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Dabao have the same grandfather and live in the same courtyard. Zhang Dabao is a free man. Doesn't Old Yi have money? Who has benefited from him? Jia Dongxu has been his apprentice for ten years and has eaten anything from his family?" Xu Fugui also felt jealous.

"Why was Old Yi beaten by Yan Jiecheng?" Xu Damao asked his mother.

"Who knows? Maybe it's something that attracts people," said Xu's mother.

"Then why don't you attack others, but only attack Yi Zhonghai?" Xu Damao asked again.

"You have to ask Yan Jiecheng. Who knows how Yi Zhonghai offended him? Damao, how did the talk with Miss Lou go?" Xu's mother asked again.

"What you said is good, but what's the use? I still can't do it, Mom. It seems that I will be like Yi Zhonghai in the future." Xu Damao became sad when he said this.

"Bullshit, if it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways. If you want to make our Xu family extinct, I won't agree," Xu Fugui stood up and shouted at Xu Damao.

There was no other sound in the Xu family except Xu Damao's constant sighing.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, He Yuzhu came back and told everyone about Yi Zhonghai's condition. One of his legs might be lame and the other leg was fractured. Now the police are making every effort to capture Yan Jiecheng.

"Lame? Yan Jiecheng is too cruel," said Zhang Cuihua.

After everyone chatted for a while, Zhang Cuihua told the news to other people in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai becoming a cripple became the hottest topic in Courtyard No. 95.

"Old Yan, what should we do?" Yan Bugui now didn't even dare to guard the gate, for fear that others would ask him why Yan Jiecheng beat Yi Zhonghai.

"What can we do? We can't afford the compensation. Yan Jiecheng is useless. He beat Lao Yi so badly, he will have to go to jail for a few years. Even if we compensate Lao Yi's various expenses, Jiecheng will still have to go to jail. It's better not to pay and let him work a few more years. We can't let all of us lose our lives because of him." Yan Bugui made up his mind. He could only sacrifice Yan Jiecheng himself.

"But..." Yang Ruihua wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yan Bugui.

"No buts, it's settled," Yan Bugui said and lay down.

Now Yan Jiecheng was extremely happy, having a feeling of revenge. Returning to Huang Defa's yard, Yan Jiecheng felt inexplicably excited. In two days he would leave the capital, and from then on he would start anew with a bright future ahead of him.

The hottest topic in No. 95 Hospital is the night shift that Jia Dongxu is on. Liu Cuiping is in the hospital during the day and can go home to rest at night. Jia Dongxu does not have to go to work during the day and can take a nap when he has nothing to do in the afternoon.

When Jia Dongxu returned home, Qin Huairu had already prepared breakfast and Banggeng had finished washing up and was waiting for dinner. Seeing his father coming back, he said happily, "Dad, you're back. We had sweet and sour carp at my seventh uncle's house last night, but you didn't eat it. Let me tell you about the taste."

"Did you leave it for me?" Jia Dongxu asked his son.

"How could I possibly leave any for you? You don't know how delicious it was. I licked the last bit of soup," said Bang Geng.

"If you don't want to leave it for me, why are you telling me this? Are you sick?" Jia Dongxu was a little angry.

"I'm not sick, it's just that you didn't eat it. I'll tell you how it tastes, and you just need to feel it," Bang Geng said again.

"Feel your mother's cunt, feel it, I think you want to be beaten." Jia Dongxu stood up angrily.

"I'm telling you this with good intentions, but you don't listen. Really, I won't talk to you anymore." Bang Geng was also angry.

Jia Dongxu didn't want to pay attention to him, so he picked up the steamed bread and started eating. While he was eating, Zhang Cuihua Xiaodang also came into the room.

"Mom, did you eat sweet and sour carp last night?" Jia Dongxu asked his mother.

"Didn't Bang Geng tell you? Da Biao asked him to savor it carefully and tell you about it when he comes back," Zhang Cuihua said to her son.

"Why are you telling me this? You know I like to eat delicious food, but you didn't save any for me and even told me about the taste. Isn't this just making me greedy?" Jia Dongxu said to his mother dissatisfiedly.

"After you buy the fish, we have enough oil at home. If you buy some sugar, I will ask Da Biao to cook for you. You can eat it yourself and we will watch, okay?" Zhang Cuihua retorted to Jia Dongxu.

"Does this dish require oil?" Jia Dongxu became interested.

"Of course, use oil. You have to fry it once, and then fry it again to make the whole fish crispy. Then pour the sweet and sour sauce on it. The fish tastes sweet and sour, and it is crispy and crunchy. It is so delicious when you take a bite in your mouth." Bang Geng took over Jia Dongxu's topic.

"It must be delicious. I wonder when Uncle Seventh will make it again?" Jia Dongxu said to himself.

"When my aunt wanted to eat it, my seventh uncle said that he would make it as long as my aunt wanted to eat it," Banggeng said to Jia Dongxu.

"Then I have to talk to Jingshu and ask her to urge Uncle Seventh to do it again." After finishing his porridge, Jia Dongxu ran to the backyard.

Zhang Dabao got up very early today, mainly because he wanted to know where Yan Jiecheng had gone. When he got up in the morning, through the crow that was monitoring Yan Jiecheng, Zhang Dabao found that Yan Jiecheng was eating breakfast in a yard. There was another person eating with him, and the two were discussing the retreat route.

The word "retreat" makes it hard not to think that they want to break the law. What do they want to do? Zhang Dabiao's interest also piqued.

Zhang Lianhua had already prepared breakfast, which was much better than the breakfast at Jia's house. Zhang Dabao and his family had noodles this morning. Jingshu had already finished eating, and Zhang Lianhua was combing her hair when Jia Dongxu came running over.

"Dongxu, are you looking for a big bid?" Zhang Lianhua asked her nephew.

"Aunt, I'm looking for Jingshu. I want to ask her when she wants to eat sweet and sour carp again?" Jia Dongxu squatted down and prepared to ask his cousin.

"Dongxu, can you be a little more promising?" Zhang Dabao also walked outside the house after finishing his meal.

"Banggeng said that you should only cook it when Jingshu wants to eat it. I want to discuss with her whether we can wait a few days, until my master is discharged from the hospital." Jia Dongxu stood up quickly when he saw Zhang Dabao coming out.

"What's going on with Lao Yi?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"One leg may be lame, that bone is also broken, and the head was also broken by Yan Jiecheng. Why did Yan Jiecheng beat my master?" Jia Dongxu still can't figure it out.

"Who knows what Yan Jiecheng is thinking? It seems that only when the police catch him will we understand. Go to work quickly. We will make sweet and sour fish when you are at home." Zhang Dabao looked at his watch and let Jia Dongxu go.
