Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Not long ago, Sha Zhu was sitting by the gate of the courtyard. It was impossible to tell his approximate body shape, but one could only feel the silly air emanating from his body.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard now, the feeling is different.

Sha Zhu is quite tall, and because he carries a large spoon all year round, his upper body appears stronger than that of an average person.

In addition, he was wearing an 80% new factory uniform and new leather shoes today. Although there was a layer of dust on the shoes, this good packaging made him look very energetic.

It's a pity that it makes the face look a bit abstract. If it covered the head and face, many girls might be attracted to it.

When Lingzi's father saw Shazhu's naked eyes, he thought to himself that this boy was just like what Fugui said: reckless! He was not afraid of scaring his daughter away with this look.

He quickly cleared his throat several times, and Sha Zhu came to his senses and followed the three of them into the yard.

Lin Donglai and his friends have moved the tables and chairs to under the big tree in the yard, which is cooler than the house.

Seeing Lingzi and the others coming, the uncle quickly called out, "Old Three, you two come and sit down. Lingzi, don't stand anymore, come and sit down."

After Lingzi's family and uncle sat down, Shazhu and his aunt immediately went to serve the dishes and get the bowls and chopsticks, busying themselves with sweat.

People who work hard seem to have a special appeal, and Shazhu is the same. Lingzi looked at his busy figure and actually felt that this man didn't look that bad.

After the dishes were served, Sha Zhu saw that there was a seat next to Lin Donglai and wanted to sit down, but was immediately driven away: "Brother Zhu, go sit next to my cousin, this seat is for Dongyi."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu looked up at Lingzi opposite him. Lingzi was also looking at him, and Sha Zhu's face turned visibly red.

After scratching his head and laughing dryly a few times to cover up his embarrassment, he obediently walked to the stool next to Lingzi and sat down.

Seeing this, Lin Donglai called out, "Dongyi, stop playing, wash your hands and come over to eat together." The little girl responded while putting down the puppy in her arms, washing her hands, and sitting down.

Then Sha Zhu remembered that he had brought a bottle of Erguotou, and immediately stood up, took it out of his bag and put it on the table.

Seeing this, Lin Donglai's uncle told his aunt to fetch some cups. After pouring a cup for each of the men, he raised his glass and said, "I'm so happy today."

"Welcome Donglai and Dongyi for coming all the way to visit us old couple. Thank you Zhuzi for helping to carry things and cook. Please come often in the future!"

"Everyone, feel free to eat as much as you can and taste the cooking skills of the chef from our city's steel mill, haha..."

After saying that, he drank half a cup of wine with a "sizzle" sound and smacked his lips twice: "Wow! This Erguotou tastes really good. Zhuzi, the wine you brought is really great!"

Country men have a special liking for wine, and Lingzi's father is no exception. When he heard his brother say that the wine was good, he also picked up the glass and took a sip. The taste was indeed pure.

He nodded and praised Sha Zhu: "Well, Zhuzi, the wine you brought is really good."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu quickly replied: "Uncle, if you like this wine, I will bring it back to you next week!" After saying that, he secretly glanced at Lingzi who was sitting next to him.

Lingzi's father laughed and said, "How dare I take the title? It all depends on whether Lingzi likes it or not, right Lingzi?"

Lingzi was looking at the carrot balls on the table. When she heard her father's words, she said angrily, "Dad, it's you who likes to drink, not me. Don't use me as a shield. Mom, don't you agree?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed, and Sha Zhu secretly made up his mind: for this beautiful girl, he must bring two more bottles of wine next week.

Lin Dong came to see her sister drooling, but she didn't dare to pick up the food until the adults started, so she quickly said, "Everyone, eat the food quickly, or it won't taste so good if it gets cold."

The aunt also agreed: "Dongli is right, everyone stop waiting and eat quickly." After that, she picked up a carrot meatball for Lin Dongyi and said, "Dongyi, eat quickly."

"Eat after you're full before playing with the puppy, okay?" He then put a piece of fish into the little girl's bowl.

Seeing that Lingzi, who was sitting next to him, didn't move her chopsticks, Shazhu followed suit and picked up a piece of fish for her, saying, "Lingzi, try the fish I made and see how it tastes."

"This fish was caught by Donglai in the lake. I made it into a braised fish. The heat is just right today, so it should taste good."

Lingzi didn't hesitate. After thanking Shazhu, she picked up a piece of fish, took a small bite, chewed it, and her almond eyes widened: "This fish is delicious!"

"Zhu Zi, how did you cook this fish? It's much more delicious than what my mom usually cooks. Please teach me."

This hit the point of Sha Zhu, who smiled and said, "It's very simple, just fry until both sides are golden brown, then add soy sauce, salt and sugar and simmer over high heat until the sauce is reduced to a simmer."

"You still say it's simple? No wonder he can be a great chef!" Lingzi praised him while eating. With his cooking skills, Shazhu's image in her eyes has improved a lot.

Sha Zhu was so flattered that he grinned and suddenly blurted out, "Lingzi, if you like it, I'll make it for you every day!"

Sha Zhu said this too early, and Lingzi was so scared that she choked and started coughing. Lingzi's mother came over and patted her back.

After drinking some water, she finally recovered. Sha Zhu put another carrot meatball in her bowl.

Maybe it was because she was soft-hearted, but Lingzi didn't respond to what Shazhu said. After thanking him again, she started eating, but her fair face was flushed.

Lin Donglai, who was sitting opposite, looked at the behavior of Shazhu and Lingzi and thought: It's quite interesting to watch other people talk about marriage. It's so interesting to see the back and forth between them.

Sha Zhu's attention was entirely on Lingzi. He was so busy picking up food for Lingzi who was sitting next to him that he completely forgot that he was also hungry.

Seeing this, Lin Donglai smiled and said, "Brother Zhuzi, you are almost taking care of my cousin Lingzi like a little kid. I think you might as well help her pick out the bones from the fish."

Everyone laughed, and Lingzi's face turned even redder. Only Sha Zhu listened to Lin Donglai's words. He smiled and picked up a piece of fish belly, removed the bones, and put it in Lingzi's bowl.

"Lingzi, this piece of meat has no bones, you can eat it without worry." The tone was so gentle that it was hard to imagine that this was the person who would attack Xu Damao whenever he caught him.

Lingzi said embarrassedly: "Zhu Zi, I'll do it myself." Then she rolled her eyes at Lin Donglai and said: "Cousin, please eat your food."

They were all experienced people. Upon seeing this, Uncle Lin Donglai and Lingzi's father, who were sitting next to each other, clinked their glasses in tacit understanding and smiled at the same time.

After eating a few bites of the food, Lingzi's father whispered, "Brother Fugui, you are right. Zhuzi is a really good cook and his dishes are delicious."

"Of course, I envy you. Lingzi is going to marry Zhuzi. Won't you be able to eat Zhuzi's cooking often in the future?"

"I hope so, but I don't know if my Reiko has any opinion on this matter. I'll just follow her opinion."

"In my opinion, Lingzi doesn't dislike Zhuzi. Just wait and see, Third Brother, maybe she will invite us to her wedding banquet within this year..."
