Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

After get off work in the afternoon, Yi Bufan went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up Xu Xiaoran, and then went to the nearby square to learn how to drive for half an hour before returning.

As soon as I entered the yard and parked the car, Yi Zhonghai walked in carrying three lunch boxes.

"Uncle, Dad..."

Xu Xiaoran didn't know what to call out, so he just shut up.

"Going to learn how to drive?"

Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile.

"Well, I skated around the square outside for a bit. It's pretty hard to learn."

Xu Xiaoran felt a little embarrassed, maybe she was a little stupid.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You will be able to do it after a few more attempts. Come back home and tell me about it."

Yi Bufan opened the door and entered the house.

"Don't cook tonight. These dumplings are freshly cooked and are still hot."

Yi Zhonghai entered the room and placed three lunch boxes on the table.

Then he took out a small box and looked at Yi Bufan.

"this is for you!"

“If it’s not enough after eating, let Xiaoran come over and get some more. I packed a lot today.”

"I'll go back first."

Yi Zhonghai put the things down and didn't bother them any more. He just glanced around the room before leaving to see if there was anything missing.

"Well, you should go eat too."

Yi Bufan replied casually. Judging from Yi Zhonghai's expression, he probably hadn't eaten yet either.

"Hey, good!"

Yi Zhonghai was naturally very happy to hear the response, and almost tripped over the threshold when he went out.

"Be careful!"

Yi Bufan shouted again.

"Oh, okay, it's okay, it's okay, just eat it while it's hot."

Yi Zhonghai walked away with a grin on his face.

"Master, did you bring food for Yi Bufan and the others?"

Jia Dongxu naturally saw Yi Zhonghai carrying three lunch boxes to Yi Bufan's house.

"Yes, Yi Bufan and his wife both work and have no time to cook, so they asked Auntie to help cook."

"A meal costs two yuan, and includes meat, vegetables, and steamed buns."

"For one yuan, it only comes with vegetables but no meat, and a steamed bun."

Yi Zhonghai said casually.

"They let an old lady cook for them every day?"

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu's mouth almost dropped to his chin.

"Not every day, maybe occasionally. Anyway, I'll talk to you when I need to."

"Otherwise, their salary wouldn't be enough."

Yi Zhonghai felt that his brain was still quite useful as he could come up with this reason.

"Then Master, isn't this just like running a restaurant?"

Jia Dongxu thought it seemed pretty good.

"Don't talk nonsense. Opening a restaurant is called speculation. It's the business of state-owned restaurants. We don't do that. We're just helping."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai walked away with his hands behind his back, still thinking about Yi Bufan's concern for him.

"Huai Ru, Huai Ru, I have a way to make money..."

Jia Dongxu turned around and called Qin Huairu, seeming a little excited.

Yi Bufan's family.

"watch!"

Xu Xiaoran opened the box left by Yi Zhonghai, screamed, and quickly covered her mouth. The scream was much louder than the one at night.

"What watch?"

Yi Bufan asked casually, and at the same time looked up, and was stunned when he saw the watch in Xu Xiaoran's hand.

"Where did it come from?"

Yi Bufan asked a question even though he already knew the answer.

"Where else could it have come from? From this box your father just put down."

"It seems that your father really understands you!"

"You just told me yesterday, and he bought it back for you today."

Xu Xiaoran handed the watch to Yi Bufan, and then went to take the receipt and certificate from the box.

"I really didn't tell him. We didn't see each other all day today."

Yi Bufan felt that Yi Zhonghai was a worm in his stomach. Could it be that there was telepathy between the father and son? It was impossible. This was unscientific!

However, this could not stop Yi Bufan's inner joy.

The watch is quite nice, a mechanical watch from Shanghai brand.

"Definitely my biological father!"

Xu Xiaoran took the watch from Yi Bufan and wanted to put it on Yi Bufan.

"Wait, let me put it on you. There's not much difference between the men's and women's styles anyway."

Yi Bufan grabbed Xu Xiaoran's wrist.

"What are you talking about? You are the head of the family, so it is natural for you to wear it."

"Besides, this is what your dad bought for you, how can I wear it?"

"I want you to buy it for me!"

Xu Xiaoran said as she put it on Yi Bufan.

"Hey, this watch chain fits perfectly. Your dad is very considerate."

After Xu Xiaoran put it on, she moved a little.

"I'll buy it for you in a few days."

Yi Bufan also raised his wrist to take a look and was very satisfied.

"No, don't worry. It's a nuisance for me to wear. We don't have that much money right now. This thing is just for show but not for use."

"Besides, do you think the watch ticket is cabbage? Come on, eat it. Both lunch boxes are full of dumplings."

"Oh, there's also a lunch box with stir-fried beans and meat and scrambled eggs. There's a lot of meat, more than in state-owned restaurants."

Xu Xiaoran went straight to grab the chopsticks, but Yi Bufan had already grabbed a dumpling and put it into his mouth.

"Have you washed your hands?"

Xu Xiaoran gave Yi Bufan a blank look.

"It's not clean, but you won't get sick from eating it. These dumplings seem good. Come and try them."

Yi Bufan grabbed the dumplings with his hands again, and when he was about to touch them, he pulled back and took the chopsticks. Looking at Xu Xiaoran's disgusted look, he stuffed one into her mouth.

"Yeah, delicious, with too much meat. These are dumplings made by my real parents. They are better than my parents' dumplings, which have more vegetables and less meat."

Xu Xiaoran was very clear about bringing down her parents.

"Yeah, this dish is delicious too."

Yi Bufan was thinking in his heart, although Auntie Yi was not his biological mother, she was still his aunt.

pretty good.

"This scrambled eggs tastes good too, try it!"

Xu Xiaoran picked up a large piece of egg and put it into Yi Bufan's mouth.

"Eat another dumpling, it will taste better if you eat the whole dumpling!"

Yi Bufan also stuffed a dumpling into Xu Xiaoran's mouth.

Both of them had happy smiles on their faces and were eating delicious dumplings and dishes.
