The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Minghui was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he took out a cigarette and started smoking with Yan Bugui at the door.

Yes, Yan Bugui was just trying to get a cigarette for free. After all, people were staring at him eagerly, and Liu Minghui felt it was unacceptable, so he had to give him one.

"Minghui, your business trip is quite long this time."

Yan Bugui sat on the steps just like Liu Minghui, happily smoking the cigarette given by Liu Minghui.

"Hey, don't mention it. It took a long time to get back by boat."

Liu Minghui said helplessly.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui nodded in agreement. "No wonder, the sea route is indeed slower."

"Nothing major has happened in the hospital recently, right?"

Being extremely bored, Liu Minghui asked about the recent situation of the courtyard.

Yan Bugui perked up after hearing this and said with a smile, "There are quite a few things, especially the things in the middle and back yards. There are quarrels every day."

Liu Minghui became excited when he heard this, and immediately asked Yan Bugui, "Tell me more about it."

Liu Minghui thought of the courtyard house which was now in a state of disarray. Could there be any more trouble?

"Who else could it be? The Jia family."

Yan Bugui did not hide his intention and directly named the Jia family.

"impossible?"

Liu Minghui was a little skeptical after hearing this.

After all, now that the Jia family has lost their long-term meal ticket He Yuzhu and their protective umbrella Yi Zhonghai, is it possible that they can't still cause trouble in the courtyard?

"How is it impossible?"

Yan Bugui asked back, and then began to explain.

There was still a deaf old lady in the courtyard. Qin Huairu had said something before, asking the deaf old lady to live with their Jia family. At the beginning, it was said that Qin Huairu would help with cooking in the morning and evening, and take care of the housework. As for the compensation, no one knew.

But everything was fine at the beginning, and both sides got along well.

Although the deaf old lady was a little dissatisfied that it was Jia Zhang who cooked for her at noon, everything was still moving in a good direction.

But what no one expected was that within less than a month, Jia Zhang relapsed into her old habits and started secretly moving grain from the deaf old lady's house to her home. The deaf old lady didn't notice it at first.

If Jia Zhang hadn't told her later that there was no food, the deaf old lady would not have known that she had stored a month's worth of food, but it was gone in less than a week.

Of course the deaf old lady would not tolerate this. She found Qin Huairu that afternoon and, in addition to questioning her, she also took back all her belongings.

However, in view of Jia Zhang's behavior, the deaf old lady completely refused to let Jia Zhang enter her house. As for how to solve the lunch problem, Qin Huairu had to trouble her. In the morning, Qin Huairu was asked to cook more food, and at noon, the deaf old lady could only heat it up herself.

After all, she is not unable to take care of herself, so it is no problem for her to heat up the food.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui said with a face that was not surprised: "The deaf old lady still doesn't understand Jia Zhang. Fortunately, she found out early, otherwise the house would have been emptied."

"But how did you know this?"

Afterwards, Liu Minghui asked curiously, logically, this matter should be resolved privately, so how would Yan Bugui know about it?

"That's what the old lady said herself. If it weren't for the three of us, she wouldn't have been able to get the things back from Jia Zhang."

Yan Bugui laughed happily. At this moment, he was making fun of the deaf old lady for being so confused. She knew Jia Zhang's character very well, but she was still tied to the Jia family.

She also offended many people in the hospital because of this. Not to mention anything else, even Yan Bugui doesn't have much respect for the deaf old lady now.

Just treat her as a neighbor.

"I don't know what Qin Huairu said to trick the deaf old lady into living with her family."

Yan Bugui shook his head and said in confusion.

"What else could it be? At the age of a deaf old lady, that's all she can do."

Liu Minghui saw this clearly. He understood that the deaf old lady had been looking for someone to take care of her in her old age from the very beginning. However, she was different from Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai was afraid that no one would take care of him in his old age.

The deaf old lady was thinking about having a filial son and grandson by her side before she died, but in the original timeline, both of them chose He Yuzhu.

So no matter how He Yuzhu struggled, he was trapped from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui nodded in understanding. He knew that Liu Minghui was right, but it was still a pity.

He can't take advantage of this.

otherwise......

Yan Bugui muttered to himself.

After chatting for a while, it was completely dark, so Liu Minghui said goodbye to Yan Bugui and turned back home.

As for Yan Bugui, he would need to wait a little longer and be responsible for locking the door.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

When he arrived at the door of his house, Liu Minghui shouted something into the house, then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Keep your voice down, our son is asleep."

Yu Li made a shushing gesture to him, and then asked, "Why did you take so long this time? I almost went to your company to ask."

Yu Li looked worried. She took the towel beside her and handed it to Liu Minghui to wipe his face.

Liu Minghui waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. I've been at sea for half a month and I'm almost soaked in it. I'm going to take a shower first."

After hearing this, Yu Li also nodded and said, "Then, I'll go make you something to eat."

Liu Minghui nodded, took his clean clothes and went to take a shower.

In the early years, Liu Minghui separated a space in the house for washing. There was a water outlet underneath that was connected to the canal outside the yard. With tap water connected in, it was very convenient to take a bath.

After taking a shower, Liu Minghui came out holding a towel and wiping his hair. Yu Li was very quick and had already prepared a portion of noodles and placed it on the table.

"It's still more comfortable at home because you are here."

Sitting at the table, Liu Minghui looked at Yu Li and said with emotion.

Seeing this, Yu Li, who was standing by, also said with a smile: "Stop being funny, and eat your noodles quickly, or they will become clumpy if you don't eat them now."

But Yu Li's face was full of smiles.

"Dele."

Liu Minghui didn't say much, and since he was really hungry, he started eating with a huff.

"By the way, Zhuzi asked me to bring some things to you. Go ask him to come and take them."

Suddenly, Liu Minghui seemed to have thought of something and said to Yu Li.

"What is it that I asked you to bring back?"

After hearing this, Yu Li asked curiously.

Liu Minghui pointed at the sack on the ground and said, "You'll know for yourself if you look at it."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li also went up to check it out, and then said in surprise, "Is this an abalone? It looks big, and it has these furry parts. What is it?"

When Liu Minghui saw what Yu Li was holding, he casually explained, "That's a sea cucumber. Don't you recognize it?"

Yu Li was speechless after hearing this, and said unhappily: "Of course, I have heard of it, but I have never seen it."

"What did Zhuzi ask you to do with these?"

After hearing this, Liu Minghui explained, "Of course I have to cook. It's the Tan family dishes passed down from Zhuzi's family. He said that if I bring them back to him, he will show me his cooking skills."
