Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

After returning to the courtyard, he took the firecrackers he had bought earlier and set off a few strings of them at the gate of the courtyard. He saw Jie Kuang, Jie Di and the children from the neighboring courtyard picking up the unburned firecrackers on the ground. He thought to himself that childhood was great, and gave all the unburned firecrackers in his hand to Yan Jie Kuang.

"You guys can play with this. The ones on the ground are not safe. Be careful not to blow your hands up, or I won't let you play with it anymore."

"Thank you, Brother Shanhe."

Jie Kuang, the fool, took the firecrackers and ran away. Jie Di was a girl after all, at least she knew some manners under the guidance of the third aunt.

Children who are sensible usually have good luck. Zhao Shanhe took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Eat it yourself, don't tell anyone else, just this one piece."

Looking at Yan Jiedi's expression that changed instantly, Zhao Shanhe felt that she was even more interesting. He waved his hand and asked her to go play with the other kids, then turned around and went back to the house.

In the small world, Zhao Shanhe was drinking authentic Niulanshan wine bought from a tavern and eating various foods he had bought during this period. Of course, he also couldn't miss the roasted chestnuts and raw walnut kernels produced in the small world. Although there was no one to accompany him, there was a group of native chickens and rabbits running around, which was quite fun.

On the other side, at Yi Zhonghai's house, Sha Zhu had already prepared the dishes as semi-finished products in advance, so when Old Yi told him that it was time to eat, he served the dishes very quickly, and the table was full in less than 20 minutes.

The deaf old lady hadn't had such a sumptuous meal for a while, and it was prepared by her favorite silly grandson. She was so happy that her few remaining teeth were exposed when she opened her mouth.

Sha Zhu, He Yushui, the old Yi couple and the old lady all sat around the table. Before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, someone came and knocked on the door.

"哐哐哐~"

As the sound came, the door was pushed open, and Jia Zhangshi walked in with Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, and Bang Geng. You could say that she didn't know etiquette, but they did knock on the door. You could say that she knew etiquette, but you've never seen anyone knock on the door like that except when the Japanese soldiers were robbing houses.

Although the old lady was very unhappy, she couldn't get angry now because they were in Yi Zhonghai's house. If this happened in the main house in the backyard, do you think Jia Zhang would be able to get out alive and well?

Yi Zhonghai, the Lord of Morality, must be a master at livening up the atmosphere, otherwise he would not have been able to suppress Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui in the yard for so many years. When he saw that the old lady was about to go berserk, he quickly stood up and said.

"Dongxu, why did you come so late? Why didn't you say hello to the old lady?"

Qin Huairu understood what was going on after just one look, before Jia Dongxu could react. Otherwise, how could he be called the future master of green tea? He had such a sharp mind.

"Happy New Year, old lady. You all blame me for coming late. I feel so bad in my stomach. Dongxu and mother-in-law thought something was wrong with me, so they came late. Please don't blame them. Blame me instead."

It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. Qin Huairu, the pregnant woman with a big belly, took all the responsibilities with a smile. The old lady didn't know what to say. Seeing that the emotions of both parties had eased, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly spoke.

"Come on, everyone, take a seat. The food has just been served, let's eat. Don't be polite when you come to me."

Jia Zhang didn't know what politeness was. After sitting down, she brought the chicken on the table over, two chicken legs and a chicken stalk for each person. As for the others? Aren't there chicken wings?

After finishing the chicken leg in a few bites, he stretched out his chopsticks to the braised carp on the table, picked up the best meat of the fish with a few chopsticks, and started looking for something else.

There are rules for eating fish in the north, and the presentation of the fish is even more particular. The old lady should have raised her glass and said a few words of New Year's greetings first, and then she would have been the first to pick up her chopsticks before others could start eating. Jia Zhang's every move made her furious.

He took the walking stick beside him and knocked it hard on the ground twice.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, do you still understand the rules? Or do you Jia family not know what rules are at all? You are really a girl from the countryside, without any manners at all."

Jia Zhang also knew that the old lady was unhappy, but for her, eating was the first priority. Don’t say you are a deaf old lady, even if Director Wang is here, don’t think of delaying my eating delicious food.

He stuffed pork meatballs into his mouth while replying to the old lady.

"Old lady, I am from the countryside. In Zhang Village, people have to fight for food. Only in this way can the food taste delicious. You should eat too. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold.

Dongxu, bring the braised pork over here, I can’t quite reach it.”

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were so embarrassed, and feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles was their truest expression at the moment. Even if Jia Dongxu wanted to eat, he had to pretend to be filial. Qin Huairu was even more cunning, knowing that as long as there was a Jia Zhang in the family, it was enough for her to eat as much as she wanted. If she didn't understand the rules, they would probably have a fight today.

Fortunately, it was not only Jia Zhang who was eating quickly at this time, there were also Banggeng and He Yushui. Banggeng was educated by her grandmother and did not know what politeness was, and He Yushui was simply hungry. She only ate some meatballs at noon and went to play with the kids in the yard. Her stomach had been rumbling for a long time. She thought that the dishes on the table were all made by her silly brother. If the gas tank and Banggeng could eat them, then I could eat them too.

It just so happened that she and Banggeng both liked a piece of braised pork with three layers of pork belly. They refused to give in to each other and almost knocked over the bowl of meat. Banggeng was very angry.

"Grandma, the money-loser is stealing my meat."

This statement startled everyone at the table. Is this what a 3-year-old child said? But Jia Zhangshi said it as if she was not ashamed of it.

"Silly Zhu, take care of your money-losing girl. She will have to get married sooner or later. What's the point of eating so well? It's better to feed her to my eldest grandson. Don't be afraid of her, grandson. If she tries to steal your meat again, just scold her."

At once everyone knew where the root was, and all eyes turned to Jia Zhang.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat, this dish is really good. Shazhu, please make a table for my family tomorrow. Huairu is pregnant and needs to eat some food."

Not to mention the deaf old lady, even the middle-aged lady couldn't bear it anymore. The deaf old lady stood up and said to Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, I feel a little uncomfortable. Please help me go back."

It is said that sincerity is rewarded with sincerity. No matter what other people do, at least the old lady really takes care of Sha Zhu. When he saw the old lady calling him, Sha Zhu immediately stood up and walked over.

He Yushui saw that his backer, Sha Ge, was about to leave, so he tore off a chicken wing and followed him.

Yi Zhonghai was trembling with fear in his heart. He had really offended the old lady this time. If anything happened to the Jia family in the future, the old lady would probably not care at all. Jia Zhangshi, you are such a disaster. You have committed a sin.
