Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

"Uncle, what do you want me to help you with? You should at least give me a list, right?"

Zhao Shanhe certainly couldn't afford to provide meat to the factory, but it was very easy to get some meat for the third uncle's family. Besides, this was a blind date banquet, and no one in the yard would complain.

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng and gave him a look that meant it was your turn to speak. Zhao Shanhe saw everything clearly. Well, it looks like Jiecheng will pay for this table. Even his eldest son is reluctant to spend money on a blind date, so it's you who has to be so stingy, Old Yan.

Yan Jiecheng didn't waste any words. He took out a handful of loose bills from his pocket, all of which were one-cent, two-cent, and fifty-cent notes. He counted them twice and put half of them back into his pocket, and pushed the rest in front of Zhao Shanhe and said.

"Brother Zhao, here are 3 yuan, can you help me arrange it?"

Zhao Shanhe looked at the pile of scattered bills on the table and wanted to laugh. Yan Jiecheng, you have been working for almost a year, and you have less than 10 yuan in your pocket. You still want to pick up girls? Who is blind enough to follow you?

But when I think about how Xie Cheng and Yu Li ended up together in the TV series, could it be that he managed to get the girl because of this meal? Was I helping the evil?

Thinking of this, he picked up the pile of bills and said to Yan Jiecheng.

"Jiecheng, I'm not saying anything bad about you. It's okay to be a bit stingy in the yard, but you have to be honest when dealing with girls. You can't make up a lot of nonsense, otherwise there will definitely be problems in the future.

The girl you're going on a blind date with tomorrow is the one Shazhu saw last time, right? I think she's quite smart. If you want to get along well with her, you'd better explain your family situation clearly. Besides, you've been working for so long, you don't have so little money, do you? "

To put it bluntly, what Zhao Shanhe meant by these words was that the father and son were cheating and deceiving the girl. Yan Jiecheng's face turned red, and it seemed that there was still room for him to change. Yan Bugui, who was standing by, didn't even move his eyebrows, let alone his expression, which showed how shameless this old guy was.

Seeing that Jie Cheng was speechless after what Zhao Shanhe said, Yan Bugui had to step out to smooth things over.

"Shanhe, our family conditions are there. We are lucky to have enough food to eat. How can we have money? Please help him once for the sake of reconciliation and becoming classmates. He is almost 21 years old and it is time for him to get married.

Don't worry, if that girl marries into our Yan family, I will definitely not treat her badly. I am still the third uncle after all, and I have to have some dignity."

Zhao Shanhe didn't believe a word of what Yan Bugui said, but since it was someone else's business, it was not convenient for him to persuade her anymore. This butterfly of his had already changed a lot of things. Who knew if Yu Li would still like Yan Jiecheng tomorrow?

"Okay, Uncle San, just keep it in mind. Leave the money with me. I'll get some meat and vegetables for you later and deliver them to your house tomorrow morning. I promise not to delay your blind date.

That's it, you guys go back."

Zhao Shanhe only cared about this because they had reconciled and became classmates, otherwise he would definitely not care about this trivial matter. The Third Uncle's life was set in stone, and his bad habits could not be changed. No wonder Chen Xueru had been urging him to contact Yan Buguishao after they got married, as he was a better judge of people than himself. If it were him, he would still be concentrating on persuading others to change, but what would he do if they had dug into his bones?

After seeing the two off and letting Hou Kui go back to sleep in the inner room, Zhao Shanhe repeated what had happened to Chen Xueru. This heroic woman immediately took the opportunity to teach Zhao Shanhe a lesson.

"Am I right? This old man Yan is a stingy person. You might as well hope that the sun will rise from under your crotch before you expect him to be generous. Stay away from him in the future and don't let him scheme against you again."

Zhao Shanhe smiled shamelessly, pretending not to hear Chen Xueru's words, and grabbed the other person's hand and pushed it down.

"How do you know the sun can't rise from under your crotch? Try it?"

Chen Xueru didn't know what to say after seeing his shameless behavior, and finally could only say one sentence.

"Get lost, you shameless bastard."

Zhao Shanhe picked up Chen Xueru and threw her on the kang, then pounced on her.

"It's getting late, so let's study how the sun rises from under our crotch."

The next morning, Zhao Shanhe rubbed his old waist and climbed up from the kang. This woman's fighting power has become stronger day by day since she ate the white horse tooth corn. If he hadn't eaten it early, he probably wouldn't have been able to beat her.

He took a rabbit and a fish from the small world and walked to the door of the third uncle's house and knocked. This time it was Yan Laoxi who opened the door.

"Uncle, I got a rabbit and a fish for Jie Cheng. You guys can do whatever you want. I'm going back now."

Yan Bugui was so happy when he took the things. Three dollars was enough to buy a rabbit nowadays, and he could get a fish for free. This deal was worth it.

"Shanhe, don't leave in such a hurry. Can you still get these rabbits and fish? I'll give you another 6 dollars, and you can help me get two more so that I can keep them as gifts at the end of the year."

Zhao Shanhe really wanted to spit in the old guy's face. If Yan Bugui said that he didn't know the price of these things, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death. It was obvious that this old stingy man just wanted to take advantage of him.

"Uncle, please don't embarrass me. If it weren't for the fact that Jie Cheng and I are classmates, I wouldn't be willing to use my connections to get these things. You should buy them yourself. I'll see you later."

After saying that, Zhao Shanhe went straight back to the house without looking back, thinking as he walked.

"I'd better try to stay out of this stingy old man's business from now on. It's hard to change a person's nature."

After returning to the house, Zhao Shanhe saw that Hou Kui and Xueru were still not awake, so he went to the small world to make breakfast. He made big steamed buns stuffed with white corn and chicken, millet porridge, and a boiled egg for each person, paired with Liubiju's pickles, which made people drool just by looking at them.

When the buns were no longer so hot and the smell gradually faded away, Zhao Shanhe called the two of them to eat. When Chen Xueru saw the buns, she thought they were bought home, but even so, she was very touched. As she said, it is really rare for a man to get up in the morning to buy breakfast for his wife these days.

After the three of them finished eating, Zhao Shanhe took Hou Kui, who had been impatient, to Shichahai, Chen Xueru went to the store, and the Yan family also started to get busy.

The third aunt has been cooking for decades and still has some basic skills. When the matchmaker brought Yu Li to the courtyard again, four dishes had already been prepared: stir-fried cabbage, steamed fish, roasted potatoes, and stir-fried rabbit meat with dried chilies.

To borrow a phrase that Jie Di said accidentally, I have never seen such good things made at home since I was born.

At the dinner table, Old Yan praised Jie Cheng as an outstanding young man in Beijing, saying that he was young and promising and had joined the steel rolling mill at the age of 19. Although he was an apprentice now, his salary was increasing every year, and once he was transferred to a first-level worker, he would be able to earn 33 yuan.

The back house in the front yard will be cleaned up soon and can be used directly as a wedding room. If the two of them really get married, they can eat at home. The family does not need a pair of chopsticks.

After saying these words, Yan Jiecheng wished he could bury his head into the ground. It was easy for his father to say these words, but if someone exposed them, he would be the one who would be disgraced.
