Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Chapter 28: Brother and sister don’t help each other in times of trouble, Mu Huayan thanks Yan Bugui

"time to eat!"

Just when the room was completely quiet, with only the rustling sound of pencils writing on paper, Xu Yan called out from the corridor outside.

Hearing Xu Yan calling for dinner, Li Muhua couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately jumped up from the stool, opened the door and rushed out of the house without caring about anything.

He was so bored pretending to study for more than half an hour. What's more, there were two supervisors watching him, so he had to read his textbook.

"What are we eating?" Li Muhua rushed to the stove, looked at it and asked anxiously, "Mom, what are we eating tonight?"

Xu Yan glared at Li Muhua, who had already rushed to her side before she finished speaking: "What do you want to eat? Eat less of everything. I'll make you a midnight snack tonight."

"night snack?"

Li Muhua was a little puzzled after hearing this. The Li family hadn't had any midnight snacks in the past ten years!

"Do we have any midnight snacks at home?"

"Well, just wait for the meal!" Xu Yan said without paying any more attention to Li Muhua. She picked up the plate beside the stove and walked into the house. Li Muhua stood there and scratched his head.

Li Aihua also came out of the house at this time and patted Li Muhua on the shoulder as he passed by.

"Little brother, if I were you, I would pretend to have a stomachache as soon as the third uncle leaves, otherwise you will not be able to escape this punishment tonight."

"?"

Li Muhua then realized that the midnight snack Xu Yan mentioned was because she had gotten into trouble again today and she would have to deal with him in the evening. After realizing this, Li Muhua hurriedly grabbed the two people who were still gloating.

"We are all brothers. If our parents really start fighting, you have to say something nice and hold them back."

Li Aihua ignored him and slapped Li Muhua's arm to break free, then walked towards the main room. Li Muhua had no choice but to look at Li Qinghua for help.

"Second brother, I know you are the most loyal, so you will definitely not disregard the life and death of your younger brother like the eldest brother did, right?"

Li Qinghua smiled and nodded, patted his chest and said: "Of course, we are brothers, if I don't take care of you, who will?"

"But..." Li Qinghua looked at Li Aihua, who had already left the two of them behind, and then changed the subject: "Although we are brothers, I have an elder brother who is closer to me than a brother."

"So you should go and ask your elder brother for help. As long as he speaks for you, I will do my best to help you." Li Qinghua said as he slapped Li Muhua's hand away and ran forward with a smirk on his face.

Li Muhua stared at the two men's backs in a daze. What did Li Qinghua mean by this? Did they mean they were real brothers?

At this time, the northernmost door of the Li family opened, and Li Yujie walked out. Li Muhua was shocked when she saw her. It was true that Aihua and Qinghua were brothers, but her third sister was the same as herself. There was no reason for her not to help her, right?

"Sister, my elder and second brothers bullied me!" Li Muhua said as she ran forward. "He said they were real brothers, and they didn't care when mom said she was going to punish me tonight."

"Sister!" Li Muhua said, looking at Li Yujie tentatively: "You won't ignore me like them, right?"

"Silly brother, why do you think so?" Li Yujie said as she reached out and wiped the corners of Li Muhua's eyes. "Of course I won't care. It's our mother who wants to deal with you, not outsiders who want to bully you. If we want to help, it's to help our mother!"

Having said that, Li Yujie left Li Muhua behind and walked towards the main room in small steps. This speed was the fastest Li Muhua had seen Li Yujie walk in the past two days.

what is this?

Li Muhua stared blankly at Li Yujie's back. According to what she meant, she would have to help her mother clean herself up?

"Forget it, I'll just listen to my brother and pretend to have a stomachache." Li Muhua covered his stomach with his hands and then took a few steps forward with a painful look on his face, as if struggling.

Feeling that he should be quite presentable, Li Muhua put down his hand and said, "Yes, that's it."

Then he ran towards the main room.

As soon as he entered the main room, Li Muhua saw that everyone had taken their seats. Yan Bugui and Li Haifu sat at the top, the two brothers sat on his right, Xu Yan and Li Yujie sat on the left, leaving only the seat at the bottom for himself.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Muhua hurriedly walked over properly, then sat down below and picked up his bowl and chopsticks.

When Li Fuhai saw Li Muhua's cowardly look, he just smiled and said nothing. He directly and warmly invited Yan Bugui beside him to start eating.

Yan Bugui smiled and did not refuse, he started to eat the meat dishes in front of him. Li Muhua saw this and immediately started to attack the full table of dishes.

Death is something that will happen after dinner. Even if he dies, he'd rather die with a full stomach!

Li Muhua's beheading feast thus began. There is a saying that goes "a young boy can eat his father out of house and home", let alone the fact that the Li family has three young boys. Yan Bugui felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw these three boys devouring everything in their path.

He could only be thankful that his four children were not as fierce as the four from the Li family.

However, this was also due to the fact that he kept up with national policies. When the country was implementing a planned economy, he also implemented planned meals at home. Everyone's meals were scheduled and quantitative, and were distributed uniformly by him.

When everyone could only eat from their own bowls, the movement naturally slowed down, and it could not compare to the spectacular scene at the Li family at this time.

Fortunately, Xu Yan cooked a large table of dishes, including braised pork elbow, three fresh vegetables, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and even a stew of butchered pigs...

If it weren't for the fact that there was a large table full of food and there would probably be some left over after everyone finished eating, I'm afraid Yan Bugui wouldn't even dare to pick up the wine glass.

Just as Li Muhua was busy eating, Li Fuhai glanced at him.

"Muhua, Third Uncle has been running around for you this time. I can't be the only one thanking Third Uncle, right?"

After hearing this, Li Muhua raised his head slightly, still chewing the meat, and said to Yan Bugui in a vague voice: "Third Uncle, I won't be polite to you either. Just wait and see. When I get my salary in the future, I will definitely prepare a table of food that is better than today. Then I will call my dad to drink with you."

"Haha~~"

As soon as Li Muhua said this, not to mention Yan Bugui, even Xu Yan couldn't help laughing out loud. Li Muhua, such a little kid, actually made a promise for Yan Bugui.

"Okay, then your uncle will wait." Yan Bugui nodded with a smile, but did not take Li Muhua's words too seriously. After all, this would happen more than ten years later, and who could say for sure then?

The meal in front of me is more important!

Besides, he just delivered a message this time, so he was content to be able to have a share of the feast in front of him.

Li Fuhai was unwilling to let Li Muhua go, and continued to ask: "That's a matter of a few years later, I have no right to interfere, but now that you can't afford to treat Third Uncle to a meal, you should at least stand up and say a few festive words to thank Third Uncle first, right?"

Li Muhua looked up upon hearing this, then looked at the wine glasses in front of Yan Bugui and Li Fuhai, then picked up a piece of elbow meat and stood up.

"As the old saying goes, one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine, the days go by and the wealthier you become."

"Uncle, given our relationship, I won't say much to thank you. It's all in the meat and wine. I'll eat the meat first." As he said that, Li Muhua couldn't wait to stuff the meat into his mouth.

"Drink as you like."
