Siheyuan Yan family.

The whole family sat neatly, all looking at a pot of pickled cabbage, radish and fish on the dining table.

Yan Bugui was given a steamed bun.

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but said, "Dad, you caught four fish and only stewed one, how are you going to divide them?"

"You really don't know how to live. Fish soup is enough."

Yan Bugui mashed the only fish in the soup and mixed it into the soup. Everyone got a big bowl of it. Not to mention it actually had a bit of fish aroma.

The sauerkraut and radishes were divided fairly. Fairness was the main thing in the Yan family.

Yan Bugui finished his fish soup with satisfaction, and did not forget to make promises to the boys at home, saying:

"I recently learned the secret. You can drink fish soup every day from now on."

No one else responded. They thought that Yan Bugui was lucky to catch four fish this time. How could he be lucky every time?

Yan Jiecheng curled his lips and muttered, "Why did you only make one if you are so good? Why did you keep the other three? Eat them and go fishing again."

"What do you know? Even if you catch a lot, you can only eat one a day. Just taste it. Don't you know to sell the extra ones?

Don't you know how to save more money? Jie Cheng, don't you want to find a job to do? Why do you stay at home every day recently? "

Yan Jiecheng immediately had a bitter face and replied, “There are more and more people looking for work recently, even if it’s just helping people carry bags, they will be robbed.

How about you give me some money and help me find a job, even just sweeping the streets."

Yan Bugui thought about it and realized that his second son was about to graduate and he couldn’t even get into high school, so how could he get the money to find two jobs?

So he shook his head and said, "Let's wait a little longer. The situation is not good now. Basically, no one is hiring. It's too expensive to find a job.

Since you have nothing to do, help me do something."

Yan Jiecheng was not disappointed. He just tried his best to get something out of it, as he had already figured out his father's character.

Instead, he asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"

"Go and find me some straw."

"Where can I find straw for you in this cold winter?" Yan Jiecheng was speechless, knowing that it was not a good job.

Yan Bugui said unhappily: "Go to the suburbs and ask the farmers. There will always be some that are not completely burned."

"Two cents." Yan Jiecheng spread his hands and said decisively.

Yan Bugui said angrily, "I use this to fish. Do you still want to eat fish?"

Yan Jiecheng was unmoved, and he made a very clear calculation, "The fish is eaten by everyone, and the wheat straw is also useful to farmers, so we have to exchange it for something, right?"

Yan Bugui was helpless. It seemed that he had taught his child too well. He could only say, "One cent, no more."

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to agree. It didn't matter anyway and it would be nice to earn some money.

......

"Brother Anping, it's time to eat."

Xu Damao finally finished cooking and came to call Cao Anping.

"Okay, Damao."

Cao Anping filled a large bowl of crucian carp soup and put the rest into the space.

He took out another bottle of red wine and poured it all into a large teacup as a way to sober up.

The packaging of the red wine drawn by the system is not like that of this era, so I can only make do with it.

Although Xu Damao needed help, Cao Anping still brought something with him. Otherwise, it would be a bit rude of him to come empty-handed every time.

Xu Damao saw that Cao Anping was holding things in both hands and hurried to the door to greet him.

"Hey, Brother Anping, is this red wine?" Xu Damao was a little surprised. He had seen it at Lou Xiao'e's house.

Cao Anping said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't drunk it either. It was given to me by a patient of mine, who said to pour it out and let it air dry for a while before drinking.

Sister Xiao'e should have drunk it before, but I don't know how long it should be kept for the best drinking time."

Cao Anping now lies without hesitation and pushes all the good things to the patients.

If someone really wants to report it, just go and communicate with Li Huaide and say that it was sent by Li Huaide.

Of course, he would be a little more low-key, only bringing out some good things occasionally, and not letting people know that he eats meat and fruit every day.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded, and replied enthusiastically: "It tastes better if you let it rest for a while."

In fact, Lou Xiao'e was quite surprised to see Cao Anping bringing red wine, and she was sure that Cao Anping's medical skills must be quite advanced.

Nowadays, people who can get red wine have some status.

The fact that these people are willing to make friends with Cao Anping shows that Cao Anping has abilities that are worth making friends with.

Xu Damao was very happy. Cao Anping also brought good things with him, which was to give face to Xu Damao and treat him as a friend.

He said happily: "Then I am lucky enough to have this taste. I have never tasted red wine before. Brother Anping, please take a seat."

Cao Anping went to the table and saw a plate of sausages, a bowl of scrambled eggs with Chinese cabbage, a large bowl of braised crucian carp luncheon meat, and a plate of peanuts.

He was secretly shocked. Xu Damao had spent a huge amount of money.

With such dishes, even during Chinese New Year, no family in the courtyard could eat all of them at the same time.

Cao Anping had no shortage of food, but he only prepared one dish for every meal because he was too lazy to cook more.

Xu Damao took out another bottle of Moutai and asked, "Brother Anping, which one do you want to drink first?"

"Drink red wine first. We still have things to do. Don't get drunk first."

Cao Anping is not so particular. To him, red wine is just a drink. Even in his previous life, he didn't use red wine to show off.

Xu Damao poured a glass of red wine for each of the three of them and was about to start eating when, as expected, there was another knock on the door.

"Dong Dong~"

"Xiao'e, I smell something burnt in your house..."

The corner of Cao Anping's mouth twitched. Why didn't this deaf old lady change her lines? She was too shameless.

This is a dog's nose. Last time Xu Damao invited me to dinner, he knocked on the door as soon as he picked up the chopsticks.

This is not at Cao Anping's house, otherwise he would definitely explode. What the hell.

Xu Damao was about to get angry. She was really annoyed with this shameless old man. He wanted to discuss something important today.

"Wait, old lady."

However, Lou Xiao'e stopped Xu Damao and shouted to the door.

She was not really stupid. She allowed the deaf old lady to come and ask for money frequently without any precautions.

But Lou Xiao'e also has her own ideas. On the one hand, she doesn't care much about these foods.

On the other hand, given her status, marrying into a courtyard house would definitely require her to live a secluded life, and giving some benefits to the deaf old lady could help her avoid a lot of trouble.

Besides, I can still talk to the deaf old lady, as she seldom communicates with other people in the hospital.

If the deaf old lady hadn’t stopped them, who knows how many people would have come to ask for money.

This is also the way of survival that Lou's mother taught her after she learned about the situation in the courtyard house.

In a courtyard house, one has to keep a low profile but also avoid some unpleasant things, so naturally one has to make trade-offs.

Lou Xiao'e expressed her apologies to Cao Anping and took a bowl to give the deaf old lady food.

She took two steamed buns, put some sausage and scrambled eggs in them, and was about to send them out to the deaf old lady.

Cao Anping called her and said with a smile: "Don't let the old lady choke on the steamed buns and sausages. Pour some crucian carp soup."

As he spoke, he took an empty bowl, covered it with his hand, and put some croton powder at the bottom of the bowl.

Then he poured half a bowl of fish soup into the bowl before handing the bowl to Lou Xiao'e.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e both looked at him in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

Didn't Cao Anping have a conflict with the deaf old lady? Why is he so kind?

But I didn't ask much, after all, the fish soup was brought by Cao Anping.

Cao Anping pretended not to notice the two people's inquiring gazes. He had long wanted to deal with the deaf old lady.

He still holds a grudge against me for smashing the glass last time, so I'll just collect some interest first.

As for whether this would bring harm to Xu Damao's family, he didn't have to worry at all.

Didn’t you see that Xu Damao was gritting his teeth in hatred towards the deaf old lady?

As for Lou Xiao'e, no matter how good she was to the deaf old lady, she was still plotted against.

If Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e offended the deaf old lady because of this incident, Cao Anping would consider it as a good deed.

The deaf old lady was leaning on a cane. When she saw Lou Xiao'e holding two bowls of food, she smiled happily.

Seeing that the deaf old lady was having trouble using a cane, Lou Xiao'e sent her back to her house.

The deaf old lady followed him into the house and saw Lou Xiao'e put it down and was about to leave. She grabbed Lou Xiao'e and said:

"Xiao'e, why did your family invite Cao Anping to dinner again?

Old lady, I’m telling you, you have to keep Xu Damao under control.

Cao Anping is not a good guy, don't let him lead Xu Damao astray."

Lou Xiao'e just smiled and replied, "I see. Old lady, please eat it while it's hot. I'll go back first."

The three of them finally started to eat. As they toasted each other, Xu Damao acted as the atmosphere controller and the conversation became quite lively.

After finishing the red wine, Xu Damao opened the white wine.

Cao Anping interrupted him and said, "Brother Damao, you have almost finished eating and drinking, just tell me what you want to say.

Don't get drunk again, or your meal will be in vain."

Xu Damao stopped talking and looked at Lou Xiaoe before asking:

“Brother Anping, you said that the lack of children could really be a man’s problem?

I don’t think other people have said the same thing, for example, an old man and an old woman in the courtyard are in the same situation.”

Cao Anping thought to himself, "The example you gave is quite similar to your family. It's the men who are incompetent, and you blame the women in the family."

He nodded and said, "Half and half, it's possible for both husband and wife."

Xu Damao nodded somewhat frustratedly. He knew that Lou Xiao'e had checked it. He paused before saying:

"Brother Anping, your sister-in-law Xiao'e and I have been married for almost a year, and we still don't have a child. Can you help me figure out what the problem is?"

Lou Xiao'e felt a little embarrassed to talk about this issue, so she apologized and went back to her room to hide.

Cao Anping said readily: "Then I'll help you take a look."

He is now an expert in andrology, so this is a perfect match for his profession.

Cao Anping simply took Xu Damao's pulse and tested a few acupuncture points with silver needles, and came to the conclusion.

"Brother Damao, there really is something wrong with you."

Xu Damao was a little nervous and asked, "Is it serious? You have to help me.

I don’t want to be like an old man who has to count on others for support when he gets old.”

Cao Anping was somewhat speechless, "I wonder what Yi Zhonghai would think if he knew that you used him as a negative example."

He replied: "It's not serious, but the probability of having a child is very low."

Xu Damao choked and thought: "Isn't this serious?"

So I quickly asked, "Why is this happening? Everything about me is normal."

Cao Anping looked into the inner room and whispered, "You are born a little weak, and you do that too frequently, so the activity of your seed should be very low.

You must have had some injuries to your genitals, right? That's one of the reasons."

Xu Damao automatically ignored the first two reasons and said angrily:

“I had a fight with Sha Zhu a few years ago and he kicked me in the groin.

There was no response for a week afterwards, and I had to go see an old doctor to get him treated.”

Cao Anping felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that Xu Damao had no children, and it was really related to Sha Zhu.

After Xu Damao scolded Sha Zhu again, he seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw and begged Cao Anping:

"Brother Anping, you have to help me."

Cao Anping had already decided to treat Xu Damao before he came, but he still had to make enough money, so he said:

"Brother Damao, I can cure this disease, but it will take at least a month to treat it, and the medicine must be good, and it's not cheap."

It’s not that Cao Anping wants to cheat Xu Damao. He treats everyone equally. The fees for this kind of disease must not be cheap.

Some people may think, aren’t you, Cao Anping, the factory doctor, and Xu Damao is just a worker, why should you charge him money?

But for a disease like this that doesn't affect workers' work, it's impossible for him to carefully treat any worker for a month, as if he were a full-time doctor, right?

There are tens of thousands of people in the factory, and Cao Anping would be too busy to handle it even if he worked himself to death.

Xu Damao also understood this truth, so he invited Cao Anping to dinner so solemnly.

Hearing that the patient could be treated, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he didn't have money, Lou Xiao'e had enough, so it wasn't a problem.

He said gratefully, "That's great, Brother Anping, thank you for your help.

Also, remember to keep this matter a secret for me."

Cao Anping nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Damao, I'm a doctor, how could I talk nonsense about the patient's condition?"

He looked at the bedroom and felt it was not convenient to enter the couple's bedroom, so he said, "Go to my place to help you with the treatment."

He certainly wouldn't treat anyone in his own bed, but there was an empty small bed in the house that was just right.

So he didn't drink any more. Cao Anping took the bowl he brought with him and went home first.

Xu Damao said hello to Lou Xiao'e, then took the unopened bottle of Moutai and excitedly went to Cao Anping's house.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e came out of the bedroom. She heard everything and finally felt relieved.

Although she was unwilling to marry Xu Damao at first, now that it had become a fact, she still wanted to have children.

If she and Xu Damao really couldn't conceive a child, his father would not let him divorce the worker given her family background.

She doesn't want to be like the deaf old lady and the middle-aged woman, lonely and helpless when she gets old.
